The end of the world begins with failing an exam

Chapter 54
Evolution day?
Chen Jing looked at Smith suspiciously, only feeling that this gringo was as crazy as the old man in the other world.

The strikes are extremely ruthless... Kill people if they say they want to kill, and even kill their own people!

Just because he can attack his own people without hesitation.

Chen Jing felt ashamed.

In fact, from the very beginning, Chen Jing didn't think about how to deal with these four uninvited guests.

Bai Aji was allowed to attack Zhou Guojian earlier because Zhou Guojian had the only weapon that could pose a threat to him.

He thought that the obeisance to Aji was meant to knock Zhou Guojian unconscious or make him lose his ability to move...

Unexpectedly, Bai Aji ate one of Zhou Guojian's hands directly.

What's more, Zhou Guojian lost too much blood and died because of this.

This surprised Chen Jing a little.

But what surprised him even more was that Baiaji's saliva seemed to be poisonous.

After Zhou Guojian fell into a coma, the wound he was tightly covering was exposed.

Anyone can see the blackened and rotten flesh on the edge of the wound...

This is a sign of poisoning.

But after a while, the venom spread to the whole body.

The rapid decay of Zhou Guojian's body due to the spread of the poison was extremely terrifying.

The black venom started from the outside of the wound, slowly crawled up and down the body like maggots, and even the muscles were also corroded to form many dense honeycomb-like cavities.

Until the end, including the bones, they all became "wooden scum" that shattered at the touch of a touch.

"What is Evolution Day?" Chen Jing looked at Zhou Guojian's corpse with a complicated expression, feeling indescribable in his heart.

Smith did not answer Chen Jing's question, but followed Chen Jing's gaze to look at the corpse with a kind smile.

"Son, you don't have to worry." Smith said calmly, as if he knew it well. "They're dead, and no one will come to trouble you."

"I'm not afraid of trouble..."

"Then you regret it?" Smith asked in a joking tone, "Wouldn't this be the first time you killed someone?"

Smith said, and took two steps forward.

"Looks like it should be... I have read your file... You have been a good boy with excellent grades since you were a child... It is normal to have never seen blood..."

As soon as the words fell, Smith stopped and stood about two meters away from Chen Jing.

"It's the first time to kill someone, it's inevitable that there will be a psychological burden, I understand..."

"There is no psychological burden."

Chen Jing interrupted Smith and looked up at him.

"I just thought he was pretty unlucky."

Chen Jing sighed.

Under Smith's surprised and puzzled eyes, Chen Jing put his palms together and bowed reverently to Zhou Guojian's corpse, his tone was so sincere.

"I never intended to kill him in the first place."

"You didn't want to kill him? Oh! Yes! It was manslaughter, right!" Smith helped Chen Jing find an explanation, and nodded with a smile, "You are self-defense! It was manslaughter! I will explain it to the association!"

"Manslaughter? Be it."

Chen Jing scratched his head, thinking that this explanation was acceptable.

After all, his idea at the beginning was very simple, he just planned to bring these four people down, and then dig out the information he wanted from them.

for example……

What exactly are they.

How did they know about the old man's death?

"Should you belong to the same organization?" Chen Jing asked curiously, "I heard you mention some 'association' before..."

"That's right." Smith didn't hide anything, and seemed to use all means to win over Chen Jing.

He showed his sincerity as much as possible, and his tone became sincere.

"We are members of the [Ether Association], I am from America, and several of them are members of Asia..."

"What does your association do?" Chen Jing asked.

This time Smith did not rush to answer, but spoke after careful consideration for a while.

"Coping with the doomsday."

"end?"

Chen Jing looked at the old man pretending to be surprised, but his heart was turned upside down.

Smith's answer was something he had never expected.

He thought that the only one who knew the existence of the end was his grandfather, but now it seems...

It seems that there are not many people who know the end of the world? !

"I know it may be hard for you to believe it, but the reality is like this. It may not be long before the end of human civilization is coming..."

"What kind of doomsday?" Chen Jing asked, his eyes fixed on Smith, observing the subtle changes in his facial expression.

"I don't know..."

Smith didn't look like he was lying.

The excitement that comes from the depths of the soul is almost hard to fake.

"But we can definitely relate to evolution!"

"What evolution?" Chen Jing pretended to be confused, and continued to ask following Smith's words, "Where did you all get the news?"

"Did your grandpa tell you anything about his youth?" Smith asked.

Chen Jing shook his head and said no, never mentioned it.

"He didn't say anything about being a professor on the other side of the ocean?"

"No, but I heard from my grandma that he used to be a talented student who studied abroad and returned to China in 1973..."

"Then it's no wonder... no wonder you don't know my existence..." Smith sighed, his expression looked a little disappointed, "I really treat your grandpa as a friend...otherwise I wouldn't come back to find him..."

When Chen Jing heard him say that, he just laughed.

Laughing is his hypocrisy.

"It all started in 1972, when your grandfather and I both taught at Miskatonic University, and he and I were both professors at that university..."

Smith didn't seem to care whether Chen Jing believed his words, but just told the truth according to his own memory.

"No.11 in April of that year, your grandfather and I were hired by the 'Wood Private Consortium' to conduct scientific research in Antarctica. In those days, it was not uncommon for us to be hired by a private expedition team..."

"What is the purpose of your expedition to Antarctica?" Chen Jing asked.

Hearing this, Smith spit out a sentence softly.

"Geological exploration, obtaining samples of ancient organisms and ancient microorganisms, and looking for an answer in Antarctica by the way..."

"What answer?" Chen Jing asked.

"At that time, mysticism and conspiracy theories were extremely popular in our country. There were urban rumors that ancient ancestors lived in Antarctica. It just so happened that the owner of the consortium was also very interested in this, so I called your grandfather... Miska The only yellow-skinned archeology professor at Tonic University."

"If it wasn't for this inexplicable reason, I should be the only professor who went to Antarctica..."

In Smith's statement, neither he nor Chen Bofu had thought much about this matter back then.

They all thought that this was just an ordinary "ocean trip".

But it turns out they were wrong.

Even the "Wood Consortium" that initiated this polar expedition did not expect that such a simple geological exploration expedition would change the world pattern in just a few years.

That's right.

Shortly after they arrived in Antarctica and started drilling work, the second team of the scientific expedition team led by Smith and Chen Bofu discovered some strange things under the ice layer of Antarctica that has not melted for thousands of years...

"That is an ancient ruin, a palace."

Smith seemed to have no intention of opening an umbrella, and just stood motionless in the heavy rain, letting the rain slide down his face.

The cold and biting temperature reminded him of the scene of that day.

Things that happened decades ago seem to be right in front of us.

"To this day, we are not sure when that palace was built."

"But we can be sure that..."

"The ancient civilization that built that palace possessed a supernatural power that we humans cannot imagine."
