Chapter 12 Mystery

Tianxiang took out a round grenade from the pocket at his waist. He was going to use this thing as his first offensive weapon. Although I have never used this thing myself, if you follow the instructions in the book, it shouldn't be too difficult. Thinking of this, Tianxiang couldn't help but pull down the iron ring at the end of the round lump, use his thumb to press the trigger point that had broken free from the ring, raised his right hand, and threw it far away among the dense swarm of insects.

"Throw it out immediately after triggering the pressure ring, otherwise the shock wave caused by the explosion will hurt you." This is the introduction to the use of grenades in the weapons guide. Although he didn't know what an "explosion" was or why he would "injure himself" because of it, Tianxiang still followed his own understanding and tried his best to throw this thing that looked no different from an insect egg as far away as possible. Because what the ancients said is basically correct.

"Boom -" a deafening sound sounded from where the grenade landed. Tianxiang was surprised to see: centered on the impact point, an invisible ring spread instantly among the dense swarm of insects. The inexplicable flames and heat waves enveloped all bugs within the range. Pieces of flaming insect flesh and severed limbs flew out from the center of the ring and fell to the ground, arousing fear from other insects.

"Is this an explosion? It's really a terrifying force." Tianxiang muttered to himself, and threw another prepared grenade into the air again.

Two explosions killed at least nearly twenty white lice. Of course, while suffering inexplicable attacks, the alert insects also keenly discovered that the threat was right around them. At that moment, the large swarm of insects began to reverse direction and surge toward the ruins where Tianxiang was.

The death sound of the M5G43 submachine gun sounded again. Tianxiang also learned a lesson. He no longer held the trigger in his hand stupidly, but instead shot at the insect closest to him. Since the target of the insect swarm has turned to Tianxiang's side, there is almost no need to aim at all, and every bullet can accurately penetrate into the head of the oncoming insect. At this time, Tianxiang also suddenly discovered: as long as he can maintain a certain distance from the insect swarm. Then you will be absolutely safe, and at the same time you can continue to cause damage to white ticks. In this way, the nimble Tianxiang fought and retreated, nimbly and deftly walking through the ruins. Most of the large swarm of giant-toothed white lice also died in the blind and useless attack. Wait until Tianxiang kills the last giant-toothed white louse. All four magazines he carried were used up, so he had to take out his short P104 pistol to fight. Even so, the three spare magazines were still fully half consumed.

"Tianrou, don't be afraid, I'm the elder brother! It's the elder brother who's outside." Tianxiang, who ran close to the crypt, pulled away half of the insect corpse blocking the entrance of the passage. When he was about to crawl in, he unexpectedly stabbed out from inside. A long steel spear almost stabbed him through.

"Brother, is it really you? Woohoo! You're finally back! I'm scared, I'm so scared!" A slightly whimpering childlike voice came from the depths of the cave, which made Tianxiang feel guilty. If it weren't for her own curiosity, Tianrou wouldn't have been besieged by the swarm of insects. Fortunately, I felt it in time, otherwise, what awaited me would have been a pile of young bones that had been chewed clean by giant-toothed white lice.

The reunion between brother and sister quickly diluted the huge shadow brought by the terrible insect swarm to Tianrou. The burning fire and fragrant barbecue drove away hunger, and the various new things Tianxiang brought back made the young girl regain her lovely innocence. At that moment, without Tianxiang opening his mouth, Tianrou was already pestering him to take him out of the dark and damp crypt and live in the mysterious library.

In this way, after spending just one night in the crypt, Tianxiang took his sister, picked up all the necessities of life, and headed towards the library. The two brothers and sisters left in a hurry, partly because of Tianrou's noise. On the other hand, it was because in yesterday's battle, most of the bullets Tianxiang carried had been consumed. Now, except for a P104 pistol with two full magazines and an unusually sharp dagger, he had no extra weapons on his body. Grenades are quite powerful, but it was a pity that in order to lighten the burden when I returned home, I only brought a few two grenades. Therefore, if you want to regain safety, you must rush to the library as soon as possible to replenish ammunition.

The M5G43 submachine gun had been thrown away like garbage by Tianxiang. Now he finally understood why the book said something like "A gun without bullets is simply a piece of useless scrap metal." At this time, the submachine gun was not as effective as the most primitive steel spear.

I don't know whether it's because Tianrou's appearance brought unexpected luck, or because the massacre of insects at the entrance of the cave has been known to all the insects. In short, the Tianxiang brother and sister, who only had few bullets left, did not encounter any obstacles who dared to challenge them along the way. In addition, the battle suit has improved some physical abilities, which also allows Tianxiang to carry his sister on his back and continue to move forward quickly when she is tired. Just like that, before the last piece of insect meat was eaten, the two figures had appeared in front of the dilapidated and tall hallway of the library.

Just like last time, Tianxiang did not disturb the Saw-toothed Bees nesting at the door. He quietly bypassed the group of herbivorous insects that seemed to be acting as guards for the library, and slowly entered the second floor. In his opinion, these swarms of saw-toothed wasps are basically a line of defense guarding the door of his new home. Any creature that wants to get involved in the library must withstand their severe attacks before they can successfully Arrive at the museum.

As for the creature that can survive the attack of an entire swarm of saw-toothed wasps, as far as Tianxiang knows, there probably isn't one yet.

"It's great here! I love it here!" This was the cry of surprise that the young Tianrou made when she followed her brother into the curator's room. Indeed, this spacious and comfortable room is much better than the dark and damp cave where he lived before. What's more, the two rows of soft and comfortable couches and thick carpets in the room basically make this place a comfortable place for resting. At that moment, Tianrou, who was overjoyed, cheered and ran to one of the sofas, stretched out her legs and lay down on it, and soon began to breathe evenly like someone who was intoxicated in sleep.

After walking for several days in a row, even a strong young man can hardly resist the feeling of fatigue that comes with it. What's more, this is just a child who is not yet ten years old.

Tianxiang also wanted to sleep. With a big stone settled in his heart, he felt a huge fatigue covering his whole body for no reason. However, now is not the time to rest. He has more important things to do.

After putting down everything on his body and concentrating on a session of Tai Chi, Tianxiang found with satisfaction that although his physical fitness had not fully recovered, he had received some necessary supplements with the help of this magical boxing method. Feeling greatly relieved, he quickly walked to the bookcase, gently pushed open the transparent glass cabinet, and took out the thick "History of the World". Just like last time, the huge bookcase was like a guardian who answered the code correctly, and Xiang Tianxiang unfolded all the treasures he guarded.

"Bullets, I need to replenish bullets!" This is the only thought currently swirling in Tianxiang's mind. Therefore, he frantically took out six or seven guns of different lengths and five boxes of bullets from the newly opened arsenal. All these things, except for those necessary for daily use, were placed in various corners of the room and hidden by Tianxiang. No one knows when there will be an emergency. If one day the place is attacked by a large number of insects, or visitors with malicious intentions come, at the very least, you must have a set of emergency weapons!

After setting everything up, a full two hours have passed. Tianrou was still sleeping soundly on the sofa, but in the empty space beside her feet was a brand new and beautiful combat uniform, as well as a knife that was as sharp as the one stuck at Tianxiang's feet. These are all things he found in the treasure house for his sister. That set of clothes was obviously a bit too big for Tianrou, but it was still much better than the tattered strips of cloth she was wearing now.

In this way, the brother and sister settled in this seemingly safe and comfortable place. With the backing of this considerable number of weapons, food sources are also much richer. After a short time, their long-lost shadows appeared on their rosy faces and strong muscles. Especially Tianrou, because she ate more and moved less, a slightly bulging belly appeared on her body unknowingly.

Of course, just like the accumulation of nutrients in the body, the knowledge held in Tianxiang's mind also expanded rapidly like a huge balloon during this period of time.

The library has four floors, and each floor is filled with a considerable number of books. Except for the first layer, most of the books were completely rotted due to moisture and rain penetration. The books stacked above the second floor, apart from being somewhat scattered, almost all remain relatively dry and soft. Of course, the knowledge they recorded has become the best filling for Tianxiang's brain, which seems to be in a state of hunger at all times.

All the abilities of the insect beast's brain cells have been imitated by Tianxiang's brain. Not only that, under the guidance of the unique perception ability of the insect brain, the original brain wave detection has developed multiple functions such as "locking" and "disruption". These are all special skills that Tianxiang discovered accidentally and can use them skillfully. Because he discovered that many times, some insects that he regarded as prey would always change their movement direction and actions according to the orders issued in his mind. Once they strengthen the command level in their brains, these poor guys will either have all their consciousness replaced by external energy and become a completely controlled slave bug, obediently stretching their necks in front of sharp daggers. Or it is completely like that poor little aphid encountered on the road, unable to withstand the external control energy of neural autonomy and Tianxiang, bursting out all the nervous systems in the body on the spot, and becoming a poor thing that committed suicide and contributed all it had.

As for the two "Tai Chi Atlas", Tianxiang is now increasingly discovering the secrets in them. Those weird pictures that seemed incomprehensible, but he processed them in a stupid way according to his own understanding, but they also gained more and more powerful power. Tianxiang didn't know if this was the mysterious "qi" mentioned in the book. He only knew that once, he accidentally had a whim and changed the unknown energy circulating back and forth in the body. The route went around to his right hand, and then he pressed hard on a hard concrete wall with some joking intent. As a result, even he was shocked.

Even if he poked hard with a steel spear, he could only leave a tiny gouge on the concrete wall, but there was actually a handprint with a dent several centimeters deep.

It was from that day that Tianxiang also began to ask his sister to practice this boxing technique with him. But for some unknown reason, Tianrou didn't seem to understand the mystery. Even the daily boxing training required by Tianxiang is just a fun game.

"Don't worry if you have it in your destiny. If you don't have it in your destiny, don't force it." This is a sentence Tianxiang read from a thick book full of Aokou's words. After many days of in-depth research, Tianxiang finally understood a little bit of the meaning in a blur. He was convinced of this. Regarding Tianrou's attitude of not liking to practice boxing, she took a somewhat laissez-faire attitude. After all, my sister is still young, and many things may not be understood at her age. This is also quite normal.

What's more, I have more important things to do now. And, there's more than one.

First of all, Tianxiang unexpectedly saw a term in a book that held promise but did not understand at all - time machine. According to the book, this kind of machine can travel back and forth in time. Travel freely between the past and the future. For Tianxiang, who always fantasizes about the beautiful life of the ancients, this is undoubtedly a good thing full of great temptation. Think about it! A world without bugs, a world full of sunshine and laughter, a world where we no longer have to worry about food, what a beautiful and happy world it should be!

This is not fantasy, this is reality. Because the book has clearly mentioned that the ancients have conducted necessary experiments on this kind of time machine, and achieved great success.

Therefore, as long as he could find such a machine, it would be possible for him and his sister to leave the cold and dark reality and live in the beautiful and bright past.

Although, this is just an idea that floats in my mind at any time and has no basis in reality at all.

Secondly, Tianxiang still has many questions in his mind. Generally speaking, it is all related to the current library that has given him all the knowledge and a large number of weapons.

Luck is something that is hard to explain. If you're lucky, you might pick up a beast as strong as an insect while walking on the road, but just because the prey accidentally hit the steel bars of the ruins and punctured your head, you don't have to come out again for several consecutive solar days. Running for food. On the other hand, when you have bad luck, even a tiny and weak herbivorous insect may create a crisis full of death when you are careless. This kind of thing cannot be controlled at all. The only one who can control it is probably the high and mysterious God!

From the moment he discovered the learning machine in the crypt, Tianxiang felt that his series of encounters were obviously due to excessive luck. First, the learning machine uses the sun as its energy source. If not for this, even if you get it, it will be just a pile of scrap metal. Then there were the books that were scattered but not damaged in the iron cabinet in the crypt. It was by relying on them that I could learn some preliminary knowledge of the ancients. Finally, that map, that inexplicable and weird map, if it hadn't been marked with the specific location of the library, then I'm afraid even if I broke my leg, I wouldn't have known that there was such a place in the city.

All of these are like a line connected by invisible links. If any one of them is missing, you will not get everything you have now. Not to mention facing the terrifying and powerful insect beast alone. If it hadn't been for finding the pistol, I might have become a delicious meal in the mouth of the insect beast, and my sister Tianrou would have been sucked into a thin sheet by the terrifying group of giant-toothed white lice without even losing her own protection. Thin human skin.

If everything is just due to luck, then my luck is really too good, too good to be true.

Tianxiang felt that he had gradually arrived here step by step under the guidance of some unknown force. The power that exists in the dark seems to want to discover something and accomplish something by itself...

But as for what exactly this means, even Tianxiang himself, who has superhuman perception, doesn't understand it at all. He just felt that all of this was really a coincidence, a coincidence that was almost impossible to exist.

Moreover, in this library that temporarily serves as a shelter for himself and his sister, it seems that there is a secret far greater than the weapons arsenal hidden.

This is not a delusion, but an existence that the brain's perception clearly tells Tianxiang. In those ancient books, it has a very resounding name - the sixth sense.

Someone actually threatened me and wanted to throw Lao Hei into the worm pile? I'm so angry! Warning, it's not a problem that you like that underage girl Tianrou, it just means that your kid already has a pedophile or a hobby of seducing little girls. Hehe, I'm warning you once. Next time I do this, I'll add a version of you eaten up by bugs in the book. Of course, before you two guys, Dark Knight Christmas adsf brother and Fenghuo Rumeng, are bitten, don't forget to use your last bit of strength to smash out all the tickets in your hand!
