I became a member of the ancient gods

Chapter 21 Manipulating Time
Late at night, on the edge of the abyss, Lin Zhong was sitting in front of the tent, flipping through a thick stack of information by the light of the campfire.

After killing the group of wilderness travelers in the contaminated area, they used the captured car to drive out of the contaminated area.

It took them a long time to clean up the blood stains, and besides that, after the rollover, the car seemed to have something wrong and stalled from time to time.

By the time Lin finally left the boundary of the contaminated area, it was completely dark.

Lin finally found a piece of land in the wild, set up a tent left by a wilderness hunter, lit a fire, and decided to rest for a night before setting off.

"What are you looking at?" Fran was also sitting by the campfire, stirring a bowl of batter with a spoon and looking at the piece of paper in Lin Zhong's hand.

If Lin Zhong commented, the food these wilderness travelers ate was a bit pitiful. A few pieces of baked thick bread that were as hard as rocks and had to be soaked in water to eat, a small bag of stale rice, and then a few pieces of black rice. of bacon and fish.

Although the resources in the shelter area are limited, food is still guaranteed to a certain extent. Lin has no interest in these things, especially after trying the "sashimi" made by Fran.

But Fran seems quite satisfied with these foods. What she eats in the abyss are basically hunted abyssal creatures. Although the quality of these dry foods is average, the most important thing is novelty.

"Study information on abyssal creatures." Lin Zhong replied without raising his head.

In addition to the notebook and the key to the aerospace vehicle, Li Suling's password box also contained some research equipment, first aid drugs and research materials.

These research materials are all Li Suling's ongoing research on abyssal creatures, and most of them are half-written papers and drafts.

The Military Industrial Research Institute holds a large amount of information about the "Abyss", but only a small part is disclosed to the Association, and what the Association discloses to the Abyss Hunters is somewhat reserved - this is the consensus of almost all Abyss Hunters, although there is no What evidence, but considering that the coalition government relies on the results of the research institute to monopolize the serum for treating apocalyptic diseases and the business of abyssal relics, it is illogical to not do any confidentiality work.

When conducting academic exchanges between research institutes in different asylum areas, they may also have reservations.

For Lin Zhong, these academic things were quite boring to read, but he knew that these things contained extremely valuable information.

Among them, there may be something he wants to know now.

Before, Lin Zhong only wanted to escape from the contaminated area first and had no intention of studying Li Suling's information, but now, he was eager to understand the changes that had happened to him.

After shooting three wilderness hunters in one go, Lin was finally convinced that the heart of the stealth worm transplanted to him seemed to have given him some special power.

At that moment, he felt that when he fired, he even felt that the trigger of the pistol returned too slowly. This meant that the speed at which he fired continuously had exceeded the limit of the rapid-fire performance of the "Starlight" pistol.

When he was receiving training from the association, he had seen an instructor who was proficient in shooting. He fired a total of more than ten shots at three parallel targets in more than two seconds, and the shots hit.

Moreover, he could wave his hand and fire two shots in succession, hitting two balloons several meters apart, while others could only hear a gunshot and see the balloons seem to burst at the same time.

To ordinary people, this is already a miraculous skill.

But Lin Zhong's speed at that time was faster than this.

Acceleration - This immediately reminded Lin Zhong of the instantaneous acceleration characteristics of stealth worms.

The stealth worm can accelerate explosively, and he has now inexplicably mastered this ability.

Lin Zhong had heard that when people respond to emergencies, they will exert their powerful potential, become highly concentrated, and accelerate the teleportation of their consciousness and body, creating the illusion that time around them slows down.

Lin Zhong himself hunts in the abyss, walking on the edge of life and death all year round. Occasionally, when his nerves are highly tense, he will display extraordinary reaction speed.

But to be honest, this "bullet time" feels completely different to him. The feeling of slowing down time is too intuitive.

After completing the rapid-fire action, he did not feel any obvious burden on his body. You must know that if he swings his hand and draws the gun to fire at that speed, his wrist joint must bear great acceleration.

This is not like his physical performance improving in a short time at all, but more like a kind of magic - the magic of manipulating time.

That's right, he felt like he could control time!
He knew this kind of thing sounded ridiculous, but he just felt this way for no reason.

He felt that it was necessary to understand this ability in detail. Now that he could not use the abyss relics, this ability was very crucial to him.

But in his impression, there was too little information about stealth worms. It should be said that the association did not have much information about all knight species.

The burst acceleration ability of the stealth worm makes it difficult to catch, and its evolved adult is not only stronger in acceleration, but also extremely sensitive to danger. The upper-level adult only has observation records, but no capture records. At the apostle level, even observations The records are gone—either they don't exist, or they haven't been seen, or... everyone who has seen them has been killed.

Lin finally read through all the information patiently, and was disappointed to find that he could not find any research on sneaking worms.

He put the information back into the box and took out a black box.

This is the last thing in Li Suling's password box.Although he didn't know what material or process this thing was made of, but after a little research, Lin finally realized that this box was much stronger than the military password box, and I'm afraid even ordinary explosives might not be able to destroy it.

There should be very important things stored here, but he couldn't even find a keyhole.

"Do you have any impression of this thing?" He picked up the box and asked Fran.

Although Fran claimed to have no memory, Lin finally discovered that she actually had some memory fragments of Li Suling, such as the scene in the No. 18 Asylum, the notebook, and the password to the box.

"That? I don't know. It always feels like it's more important, but I also think it's better not to open it if it's not necessary. What's more, I don't know how to open it, so I just ignored it." Fran replied calmly.

"Isn't it necessary not to open it?" Lin finally fell into thinking.

The impression this box gave to Fran came from Li Suling. Li Suling felt that there was no need to open it at ordinary times, but she still carried it with her. It seemed that there was a lot in this box.

Lin Mo picked up the box and groped it up and down again, and finally found a groove that fits a finger in it.

He thought for a while and waved to Fran: "Fran, put your finger inside and take a look."
