Li Zhen thought for two seconds, then raised his head: "Maybe the perpetrator got the exact information about the legend of Chiyou from somewhere, and then went to rob the tomb? But if it was a tomb robber, he would not choose to kill people - and this was done. If the case in Huanggu Tomb could be understood as the old man blocking their way of wealth... the subsequent behavior looked like a demonstration."

Dai Bingcheng nodded slightly, but was obviously not satisfied. He tapped the table with his finger: "You are thinking about problems from the perspective of an ordinary person. But the cases we are concerned about are not ordinary cases. You should be bolder in the future. Even if you are crazy, it doesn't matter. But it's not your fault, after all, there are still some information you don't know very well. Now you continue to flip down and the password is 77498."

Li Zhen clicked on turning the page, and then found a password input box popped up on the screen. He entered that string of numbers...

Then I saw something that he was quite interested in.

Something about that skeleton.

Dai Bingcheng slowly said as he checked the information: "We named the bone you encountered in a cave for the first time 'Adam'. But later we found that this nomenclature may be quite inaccurate - the information is written very clearly."

Li Zhen has also learned the answer from the information.

The North Institute has conducted genetic identification of the skeleton. What is surprising is that... the results of the gene identification cannot figure out why its gender is. Because the chromosome related to its gender is "XXXX".

The chromosome of normal human males is XY, and the chromosome of normal females is XX.

However, some special mutations may occur, which will cause a woman to have only one X chromosome, which is XO. There may also be XXY or XYY situations.

But no matter what the situation is, this person will show more obvious secondary sexual characteristics and can be accurately classified as "male" or "female".

But this "XXXX" chromosome is unexpected.

Perhaps in order to make "outsiders" like Dai Bingcheng understand more intuitively, detailed explanations were made in the information.

It is generally believed that the "Y chromosome" that determines the gender of males did not exist 300 million years ago. At that time, the gender of organisms was determined by many external factors, such as temperature. Nowadays, turtles, crocodiles and other organisms still retain this characteristic. During the hatching stage, if the temperature is too high or too low, it will determine that the male or female will break out of the shell in the future.

But in the long years that followed, the X chromosome changed, and finally the Y chromosome that can now determine the gender of a mammal.

So after discovering this abnormal situation, the researchers found it a bit incredible.

However, what is even more incredible is still to come.

The ice that sealed the bones contained a lot of debris. According to the measurement results of those debris, the time they were sealed in the ice should be...

15,000,000 years ago.

Li Zhen asked himself to count three times before he finally confirmed that the number was 15 million.

He couldn't help but look up at Dai Bingcheng: "One thousand...five million years ago? Didn't you get it wrong?"

Dai Bingcheng nodded: "I have confirmed with them."

The earliest humans...Asian apes should have existed only 5 million years ago, right? And that thing...

15 million years ago? Or at least 15 million years ago!!

Li Zhen took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down and continue to watch.

The results of gene identification also show that this skeleton is indeed related to modern humans. It can even be said that it is not only the ancestor of modern humans, but also the ancestor of the "ancestor of modern humans" Australopithecus.

If this conclusion is just like this, it will only go back at least ten million years to human history.

But that guy seemed destined to subvert all the cognitions of researchers at the North Institute—

It not only has complete human genes, but also complete dominant genes of birds and reptiles. This means that it can not only be regarded as the ancestor of humans, but also as the ancestor of birds and reptiles!

At this moment, Li Zhen remembered what Teacher Zhou from the North College said to him-

"You, me, in her gene chain, may also have complete genes of birds and reptiles - or fragments of complete genes that can develop into them, but they are now dormant."

And he just knew what was said in this information... and said that?

The following information looks more like a fantasy - even making Li Zhen feel a little chilled.

Adam, who had been frozen for 15 million years, showed amazing activity in the biological compartment - in the honeycomb-like structures in its bones, there were still a very small number of cells in the dormant state. Once in contact with the nutrient solution, they immediately woke up and became vibrant.

In just three days from Africa to China, the skeleton could make some slight movements - such as shaking his fingers and shaking his head slightly. When the convoy tried to transport it to the northern base, it could even try to slap the bulkhead with his big hands full of bone spurs - this scene made everyone present frightened.

If they were not those with the same ability, they would feel that all the legends had become reality: there are indeed zombies and ghosts in the world!

However, even if it is explained by superpowers... or psychic energy - what is this guy's origin?

Li Zhen felt a cold sweat oozing from behind him. He glanced at Dai Bingcheng.

I found that the other party was also looking at him.

"Somewhat familiar?" Dai Bingcheng looked at him, "It is because your past is somewhat similar to it that we want you to join the Secret Service Office so much. One is that it is still active after 15 million years, and the other is that it can resurrect from the dead after the whole body is rotten - Li Zhen, you are indeed very important. So, since you have seen these information, you might as well think boldly: What does these have to do with Chiyou's tomb?"

Chiyou's tomb...

If the legend is true, then the one buried in Chiyou's tomb is naturally Chiyou.

The legend also mentioned that Chiyou was buried by a dismemberment. The reason for dismemberment was that he was afraid that he would be resurrected from the dead.

A flash of lightning flashed through Li Zhen's mind. He felt that the vague guesses and premonitions in his mind were suddenly connected.

However……

Is this true?

Even if it is too ridiculous to explain this incident with the "unimaginable" imagination, as Dai Bingcheng said, is it too ridiculous?!

In other words, the legend that Chiyou will be "resurrected" may actually be true. Huangdi dismembered Chiyou not to vent his anger or to suppress the morale of the enemy.

But it is true, I am worried that he will be resurrected!

——Under the premise that the so-called "Chiyou" is the same as that skeleton.

Or... Chiyou is himself more than 4,000 years ago? He has the same abilities as himself?

No, no, no... The earliest capable person appeared 200 years ago...

Li Zhen frowned. But if we want to say that the earliest ability person was born 200 years ago, what happened to the skeleton? It can also be regarded as human...

Let’s put aside these questions.

Then under the premise that "Chiyou is a kind of skeleton", the identity of the murderer is obvious.

That's...Adam.

This perfectly explains the unreasonableness of the "tomb robbers"'s behavior. The powerful existence that once dominated one side 15 million years ago certainly would not think of "hiding whereabouts". Just like a human being trying to find something from an ant hole, would he care about how many ants he had crushed?

As soon as this idea came to life, Li Zhen immediately clicked on the page a few times, found a search bar, and then entered the word "Chiyou".

Sure enough, the search result was-

Chiyou's image: Volume 9 of "Book of Learning" quotes "Guizang? Qishu": Chiyou comes from amniotic fluid, with eight arms and eight toes and sparse heads. He climbed Jiunao to attack Kongsang, and Huangdi killed him in Qingqiu.

Later, "Dragon Fish River Map" (cited in Volume 7 and 8 of "Taiping Yulan") said: "Chyou's brothers are 81, and they are both beasts and humans, with copper heads and iron foreheads, and eating sand and stones."

"Shu Yi Ji" says: Chi You "eats iron and stone", "human body, cow hooves, four eyes, six hands, ears and temples are like swords and halberds, and horns are on the head."

Li Zhen noticed the words "copper head and iron forehead" and "horned head" - the previous explanation was that Chi You was wearing bronze armor, so people regarded it as a monster.

But... think about the skeleton, the bronze skeleton, and the hideous bone spurs on the body!

——They must be the same!!

And those descriptions like "human body, cow hooves", "four eyes, six heads" - in the past, Li Zhen believed that ancient people deified Chiyou. But now it seems... Isn't it normal for a creature with such huge genetic information in the body to behave abnormally on some surfaces or even leave the scope of humans?

Therefore, Li Zhen raised his head in shock and felt a little dry in his mouth.

"In other words... Chiyou and Adam are the same creatures. Adam... want to resurrect him." He felt that the words he said were like a joke. However, he could not laugh no matter what.

Dai Bingcheng nodded.

"Yes. This is also the inference of experts. So after reaching this conclusion, most people have already set out this morning."

"Let's go? We've found it?" Li Zhen was slightly stunned.

No one else knew about the matter between himself and the bone. The two resonances triggered the infinite potential in his body and benefited him a lot. The first time he completely integrated the ability of the "electric eel", and the second time - according to Li Zhen's recent feeling, the power in his body seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.

Not only can you persist for longer after the scales are transformed, but you can even fight against B-level physical strengtheners who care about them without losing weight in terms of strength.

He attributed all this to the second resonance between the two. For such an existence, Li Zhen really didn't know whether it was an enemy or a friend.

If it were the enemy, if it weren't for it, I might have died long ago. And I had indeed felt the breath from the other party's body. To describe it, it would be...

What it feels like when a person who has been alone on an isolated island for decades when he meets another human being.

If it was a friend... Li Zhenke clearly remembered the scene when they first met. The bones seemed to be absorbing something from him! At that time, his body seemed to be threatened by some huge pressure, and the heat and vitality rushed into its body like a tsunami. In his subconscious, there was only fear.

He pinched his thumb quietly and forced himself to calm down.

He doesn't want anyone to know about this.

As a abilities person, he was afraid that ordinary people would find his abnormality and be regarded as an alien. But now he finally found his own ethnic group and settled down.

However, what should I do if I finally find out that in this so-called "ethnic group", I am still an "outlier"?

The second time was when the skeleton took the initiative to find its own? What did it want from itself?

Dai Bingcheng was also observing him. However, Li Zhen disguised his emotions very well, so he naturally would not know that there was another reason for the shock of the young man opposite.

So Dai Bingcheng shook his head: "Adam was not found. However, he found the last place suspected to be Chiyou's tomb. After the previous assumption was proposed, we mobilized real experts to investigate and argue, and finally believed that in the southwest of Hubei Province, in the Enshi Grand Canyon in the Shennongjia Mountains, it was Chiyou's last burial place."

"If Adam was really collecting Chiyou's silence, then whatever it was for, it would eventually get there. So we'll wait for it there."

Li Zhen couldn't help asking: "That's just a hypothesis - what if it's not there? What if... were actually those Americans collecting Chiyou's bones that night?"

Dai Bingcheng finally showed some praise on his face. He smiled and nodded: "Yes. You finally jumped out of the blind spot of my thinking. I kept wondering when will you doubt Americans?"

"But you don't have to worry about this. In fact, it's not accurate to call them Americans. It should be a group of scum composed of all kinds of religions and all kinds of people." He emphasized his tone, "But after the Pingyang incident, we were staring at this group of people to death. We were too busy to protect ourselves, and we wouldn't make such a big noise."
To be continued...
