Volume 6: The Twelve Wallfacers Chapter 7 Ancient Relics, Meridian Map
Plateau, headquarters of the dragnet.
Liu Shicai and Yang Tianyao were conducting experiments in a large enclosed laboratory. Standing in front of them was a naked male extraordinary volunteer.
His muscles are well-proportioned and full of beautiful lines, just like a bodybuilding coach in his previous life. However, unlike those who have purely big muscles, his muscles do not become a hindrance to him. They are very well-proportioned, but can burst out tremendous power when needed.
This is a second-level power-type extraordinary being.
Liu Shicai said: "Brother, do you still remember what major I studied before the end of the world?"
Yang Tianyao thought about it. Although he and Liu Shicai were brothers from the same school before the end of the world, they focused on different fields. Their masters were masters of biology, and Yang Tianyao studied Western biopharmaceutical technology, while Liu Shicai studied traditional Chinese medicine and ancient literature research on meridians and various mysterious biology.
Of course, both of them have basic knowledge of paleontology and modern biology.
At that time, Yang Tianyao chose Liu Shicai as the wallfacer because what he had learned was more like applied science, and he could quickly develop new medicines based on previous experience.
"Of course I remember, you mainly study the human meridians and hormone effects!"
Liu Shicai nodded: "That's right. When the teacher accepted us as his disciples, he wanted one of us to study ancient meridian theory and the other to study modern biological science, and then find a way to combine the two technologies to fully analyze the mysteries of the human body."
Liu Shicai continued, "During this time of facing the wall, in addition to looking at the outbreak of the zombie virus from the perspective of philosophy and science, I also studied in depth several questions left by the teacher at that time, as well as whether the meridians, which we have not been able to understand for so many years, actually exist? What is its manifestation?
In the past, we only knew that meridians might exist, but we could not directly observe them or give a reasonable explanation, such as whether they were certain organs or certain nerves.
But after the zombie virus broke out this time, the human bodies that had been transformed by the crystal cores of the extraordinary people, no! It should be said that the human bodies that had been transformed by the energy factors, finally showed this characteristic!
After becoming extraordinary beings, humans began a new round of evolution, and traces of meridians began to appear in our bodies.
In other words, the reason we couldn't observe the meridians before was because the first super person had not appeared in our human race. When the super person appeared, the meridians returned to our bodies!
So from this point I began to think that there were some strange people in ancient times who were mentioned in books that we have not published. Maybe... they were not fictitious, but really existed. They were the early extraordinary people. However, with the development of modern science and technology, our earth has undergone unknown changes and has gradually entered the Dharma-Ending Age, causing these strange people, or extraordinary people, to disappear from the world, and the records about them are only left in some unofficial histories.
Brother, do you still remember the ancient ruins No. 30 that we never announced? "
Yang Tianyao was shocked: "Relic No. 30! Could it be that... you have made a new discovery in there?"
Liu Shicai nodded affirmatively, with wisdom in his eyes. "That's right. I am almost certain now... before the emergence of modern humans, the earth had already experienced an era of humans, and that era was the era of the extraordinary! The way they practice is closely related to the meridians. Do you remember the human meridian map in the mural? The one drawn in it is not the same as traditional Chinese medicine. Its human meridian map has never been found in our previous experiments. Moreover, the human body did not react when those key parts were stimulated. So at that time we determined that the content of the mural was not accurate, not scientific, but a kind of witchcraft. In fact, during the time I faced the wall this time, I found the mural again from the national document library. The meridians and operation methods on it have been reflected in the extraordinary people, so! The outbreak of this zombie virus has made us know again how the extraordinary people came out, and those cultivation methods that have been buried in history can now be used!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Shicai took a pen and drew black lines and dots on the body of the second-level power-type extraordinary person in front of him, marking the locations of the meridians in the ancient ruins. Different from traditional Chinese medicine, this is another set of meridian maps for extraordinary people, which has never been circulated among the people.
Even in the turbulent times of the last century, Relic No. 30 and the documents and annotations recording these relics were regarded as supernatural dregs. If it were not for the early generation of scientists, that is, their masters, who risked their lives to protect them, it is very likely that everything in Relic No. 30 would have been destroyed at that time.
"Brother, look, this is the meridian map in Ruins No. 30."
Yang Tianyao nodded: "Yes, that's it!"
Liu Shicai said to the volunteer, "Please mobilize your supernatural powers according to the meridian map I drew, focusing mainly on these 36 points."
"Yes, sir!"
The volunteers began to mobilize their special abilities, circulate them along the drawn meridians, and concentrate a force at each of the 36 points.
After 5 full minutes, the volunteer began to sweat as he completed the filling of 36 acupuncture points with great difficulty.
"boom!"
A gust of air burst out from the volunteers, and Liu Shicai and Yang Tianyao were pushed against the wall.
The two men patted their clothes behind them and walked to the volunteer again. They saw that the volunteer's body was like a magnet, madly sucking in the surrounding energy. However, the energy in the air was very low. There was only energy that escaped from the crystal nucleus when Yang Tianyao was doing experiments in this laboratory before. It was quickly sucked up by the volunteer. Finally, the volunteer screamed in pain and stopped absorbing the supernatural power.
The 36 acupuncture points on the body that were emitting golden light gradually dimmed.
Yang Tianyao looked at Liu Shicai in shock: "It actually worked! But... why did he stop on his own?"
Liu Shicai had expected this. He pointed at the air around him and said, "Don't forget that we are still in the Dharma Ending Age. All energy science still relies on the crystal cores produced in the bodies of zombies. There is no energy on Earth that can be absorbed by extraordinary people. By the way, you call it energy factor in pharmacy, right? Our air does not contain energy factors, so naturally we cannot maintain cultivation. But if this is the case..."
Liu Shicai took out an energy atomizer from the back, put four ordinary crystal cores on it, turned on the switch, and the light golden energy factor was extracted from the crystal core and scattered under the energy atomizer. "Try again."
Golden light appeared all over the volunteer's body again, and his 36 acupuncture points were quickly filled with supernatural power. This time the speed was twice as fast as last time, and it was completed in less than two minutes. Then, a suction force came from his body, and the light golden energy factors under the energy atomizer poured into his body, filling his small acupuncture points, and automatically began to travel along the meridians covering his entire body... and finally gathered in his dantian.
"I understand. This is the Dantian Qi mentioned in the ruins!" Yang Tianyao said in shock as he sat on a chair next to him. "So...it turns out that all this is true. It's just that without the extraordinary, the meridians cannot be stimulated again. What kind of people were our ancestors? Why did they...go extinct later?"
Liu Shicai shook his head: "We have previously speculated that humans did not evolve from apes, because our genes contain many useless gene fragments. Those are not just the genes of apes, but also the genes of fish, amphibians, insects, and even dinosaurs...Gene-locked extraordinary people will develop genes that humans have never used before, so as to adapt to the best state they need. I have studied some things about the third-level extraordinary people, but according to all the information, when they reach the fourth level, humans will usher in a huge change! Maybe when a fourth-level gene-locked extraordinary person appears here, we can analyze something from his genes... This is something you are good at, brother."
"We are about to have a Level 4 genetically gifted person in China! Commander Hu has been out for several months. When he returns to the base, he will be a Level 4 gifted person! Speaking of genes, we have observed that all zombie genes in the world have the same time lock. In less than a month, they will open the next time lock and evolve as a whole to become Level 1 evolved zombies! By then, the environment in the country will be bad again. Now we have taken many measures to eliminate the zombies with all our strength and have achieved good results. Among them, we have to thank one person, he is a very mysterious gifted person, who possesses more powerful knowledge than the entire country and very mysterious technological abilities!"
"The person you are talking about is called Shen Jin, right? My assistant has reported his situation to me. He is so mysterious, you have never thought of bringing him here? Perhaps he can provide us Wallfacers with more knowledge!"
Yang Tianyang shook his head: "Commander Hu has already issued an order that no one is allowed to touch Shen Jin. We can only cooperate with him and cannot force him to take any measures. Commander Hu also said that if we do that, we will probably get nothing and instead provoke a powerful enemy. Besides... who doesn't have some secrets?"
"But his secret is too big. Even I have heard about his deeds in there. Now that Commander Hu is not here, can we consider inviting him over? I have a lot of ideas to discuss with him!"
Yang Tianyao just shook his head.
Liu Shicai sighed with regret, because during this period of time he had come to understand that some mysterious events had more hidden stories behind them. He felt that Shen Jin might have mastered some ancient relics and discovered knowledge about ancient supernatural beings from them.
Only this can explain why Shen Jin can achieve better results alone than all the cutting-edge scientists in China combined, whether in medicine or technology.
Yang Tianyao knew very well that Shen Jin was full of secrets, but no matter from the order of Commander Hu or the future of his son... he would not do anything unfavorable to Shen Jin, and Yang Tianyao had already informed the Intelligence Department that all traces of Shen Jin's existence in China were only allowed to circulate among the top leaders of the Tianluodiwang and were not allowed to spread to the public, let alone abroad.
"Even if you are carrying the secret of some ancient ruins, as long as you are in China and help our compatriots defeat the zombies, we will find a way to protect you..."
“Boom boom boom~!”
There was a knock on the door of the laboratory. The two people's experiment on meridians has come to an end. The speculation about extraordinary people and meridians has been verified. Next, energy atomizers will be used to assist all Chinese extraordinary people in their practice.
Yang Tianyao asked the volunteers to put on their clothes, and he and Liu Shicai walked out side by side. The staff outside reported, "Director Yang, Commander Hu is back!"
"What!?"
The two looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes. Just now they said that Hu Shou might come back after breaking through to the 4th level of extraordinary, so coming back now doesn't mean that he has already...
"Quick! Take us to see Commander Hu!"
The two men couldn't wait to find Hu Shou, who was sitting in the strategic command room, listening to other section chiefs report on their work over the past few months.
"Lao Yang, Lao Liu, it's great that you're here. Take a seat!"
The two anxious people were eager to know Hu Shou's current condition, but seeing Hu Shou listening so seriously to other departments' reports on their work, they were embarrassed to disturb him and could only scratch their heads anxiously.
After waiting for two hours, these people finished reporting. Hu Shou did not give any clear instructions, but just said: "Well, I understand!"
The meeting was adjourned.
After the others left, the two carried Hu Shou to the laboratory. Hu Shou smiled and said, "I know what you want to ask. I'm not at level 4 yet..."
They were both very disappointed.
"But it should be soon. I need to be in seclusion for a while after coming back this time. I won't take over these things of the Dragnet until I'm promoted to the 4th level. I just haven't heard for a long time, and I want to see how far we have come. You're working hard, very good! By the way, Lao Liu, what new results did you bring out of seclusion this time? Tell me!"
Liu Shicai looked at Hu Shou, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "What I brought this time may be really useful to you, and may even help you advance to level 4 faster!"
"Oh? What?"
"Do you still remember Ruins No. 30..."
…
Three days later, Jinzhou City, located in the northeast of Hulu City, is famous for barbecue.
The population here is about the same as Hulu City, both over 2 million, which is slightly less than Q City's 3 million.
But the situation here is different from that in Hulu City and Q City. There is a formal Tianluodiwang branch here, which is working hard to fight against zombies under the leadership of Province L. Shen Jin's Artisan Soul equipment is also quite popular here.
But Shen Jin must take this place, as it is related to his and Shang Qian's layout...
The extraordinary people from Home No. 1 have reached the outskirts of Jinzhou City.
They dug tunnels along the way and cleared out the zombies coming from above. The whole journey was about 40 kilometers and it took them three full days.
But from now on, if all the extraordinary people and pseudo-extraordinary people come here, it will become very convenient and safe.
This is also the old tradition of No. 1 Home. If you want to get rich, you must first build roads.
At this point, they could no longer move forward...
Yang Ao led the vanguard troops to look down from the air. What blocked their way was a huge zombie tide, about 500,000 to 600,000. "Huh? What are the zombies doing?"
