After teaching the four basics of Chang Quan to Geng Qianxing, Ding Huan decided to leave Heluo City in search of the fire lizard.
The fire lizard is known as the most powerful limb regeneration animal on the surface of the earth, but Ding Huan knows that, although the regeneration ability of the fire lizard is very terrifying.
However, there is a fatal flaw, that is sometimes the regenerated organs of the fire lizard are different from the original, which means that they cannot perfectly copy the original body shape.
However, this is not a problem for Ding Huan. He not only can perfectly find the heterogeneous genes he needs, but also can improve the missing parts of the heterogeneous genes' abilities.
Even if the regeneration ability of the fire lizard is strong and free of flaws, Ding Huan would not simply replicate it.
Before refining this regeneration gene medicine, Ding Huan still intends to find the regeneration genes of mutated cacti or mutated torch grass.
These two are known as immortals. If their regeneration genes are fused with those of the fire lizard, and under his recombination, along with some compatible gene segments, they will absolutely fit perfectly with human genes.
The fire lizard is also known as the fire salamander. There are rumors that it carries a drop of dragon blood, so it is also called the fire dragon.
Whether it carries the blood of a dragon, Ding Huan is not clear. This does not affect his ability to extract the injured regeneration genes of the fire lizard.
The fire lizard isn't rare now, but it also depends on the location; the vast majority exist in Central or Southern Europe.
It is impossible to find the tracks of fire lizards in Heluo City, but relatively more in the south.
On this trip, Ding Huan plans to head to the city of Lubo in the south.
...
Ding Huan doesn't have much money on him. He borrowed several thousand yuan from Geng Qianxing on his trip.
So he did not choose to take a plane or a magnetic levitation railway, but chose an ordinary express train instead.
In fact, even if he could take a plane, Ding Huan doesn't intend to take a plane. Now that flight genes have become rampant, taking a plane is actually the most dangerous.
Not to mention taking a plane, even traveling by train is not guaranteed to be safe.
Therefore, most trains traveling through uninhabited areas operate during the day and are idled at night.
Throughout the journey, Ding Huan's train didn't encounter any danger and arrived safely in Anhe county.
To avoid delaying his cultivation, upon arriving in Anhe County, he decided to rest for one night.
Anhe County is a mountain city. Not only the entire county is built on a mountain, but there are also three sides surrounded by mountains.
The largest mountain near Anhe is the Beilong Mountain. This mountain is far from being able to compare with the Ten Great Mountains of Xia, but it has a circumference of more than 200 miles, and its shape is extremely rugged.
Before the environmental variation on Earth, Anhe County was one of the poorest counties.
After the environmental variation on Earth, the remote villages in Anhe County were almost all ravaged by gene beast. The villagers who survived gathered in Anhe County.
Although it's just a county, there are too many beasts here, and the protection of Anhe County is not inferior to Luohe City.
The surrounding mountains near Anhe are extremely rugged, and after the environmental variation, many very rare medicinal herbs have been generated here.
In addition, various types of mutated medicinal herbs are also produced here.
These rare mutated medicinal herbs attract many martial artists and gene cultivators here.
With the influx of people, Anhe became bustling.
After arriving in Anhe, Ding Huan searched for several hotels but found no vacancies.
Anhe County is not large in the first place. Before that, due to the abundance of rare medicinal herbs outside of Anhe County, the number of people increased, and several more hotels were opened in Anhe County. However, they were still not enough to meet the demand.
Yilan Hotel, this was the eleventh hotel Ding Huan had searched for. In his mind, if this hotel was also fully booked, then he might have to spend a night on the streets.
"No rooms left." Ding Huan just walked to the front desk and before he could even open his mouth, the little girl at the front desk smiled and said, "I'm sorry, there are no more rooms available."
Clearly, she encountered this situation almost every day and had already predicted Ding Huan's intention.
Ding Huan was quite helpless. As he was about to turn around and leave, a voice came from behind him.
"Xiao Fei, I plan to leave Anhe tomorrow and head to Pu Hai. I must try my luck no matter what. Would you like to come with me?"
At the sound of this voice, Ding Huan stood still as if he had been struck by lightning. This voice had echoed in his mind countless times.
Today, he finally heard it again.
“Why be so heartless, breaking his legs and digging out his eyes, when he's still so young……”
"After I die, please donate my eyes to him. He is still so young; let him see the beauty of the world with my eyes..."
She only said two sentences to him. No, maybe it wasn't to him. She saw herself in him.
She encountered a man with a similar fate to her own and expressed her innermost soliloquy and profound helplessness...
She entrusted her deepest, lingering hope to Ding Huan, hoping that he would live on, carrying her eyes with him.
These two sentences echoed countless times in Ding Huan's mind, and he depicted the girl in his mind countless times.
He hadn't seen her, but she had become the most important person in his life, the most familiar stranger.
Whenever he thinks of her agonizing death and desperate struggles, Ding Huan wishes he could return to Earth immediately to destroy the gene alliance laboratory and even the gene alliance itself.
He wants to destroy this place, not because he has the laboratory. Even without it, his fate is sealed.
It's for the girl who gave him her eyes; she was innocent.
A laboratory that can use the lives of innocent people for genetic experiments is worth destroying a million times.
But even if he had become a fourth-level gene cultivator, he was still ten thousand eight thousand miles away from returning to Earth.
Ding Huan dared not turn around; his eyes were slightly red.
It's been two hundred and thirty years, and this voice is still as clear as ever. Compared to the previous life, it's a little less hoarse and desperate, but has a desire for the future.
Ding Huan slowly turned around. Two girls with their side profiles facing him were in his view.
It seemed that she sensed Ding Huan's gaze, and the girl who had spoken turned around.
Looking at Ding Huan staring at herself in a daze, the girl's face turned slightly red. She nodded at Ding Huan and then turned away from her own gaze.
It's her, he didn't misunderstand. It's definitely the girl he heard before.
That pair of bright eyes that hadn't been stained by any dust confirmed to Ding Huan that he was right.
Yes, just as he had imagined countless times, like a clear stream, transparent and visible.
Perhaps in terms of appearance, she could not compare to the beauties he had seen before.
She doesn't have a stunning, breathtaking face, but her clean and graceful features made Ding Huan feel that the phrase "As pure as a lotus emerging from clear water, as natural as if adorned" was written for her.
In Ding Huan's eyes, those pair of eyes that were pure to the extreme were the most beautiful.
She is the embodiment of an angel. No girl can match her.
Such a girl, who should have been cherished and protected, yet the gene alliance took her away to conduct fusion trials with other genes, igniting the long-suppressed anger in Ding Huan's heart once again.
Watching the girl's receding figure, Ding Huan massaged his slightly aching eye corners and murmured,
"Maybe we are of the same kind."
Just like when she saw his legs broken and his eyes gouged out, her sad tone came from the very depths of her heart.
But he didn't know her; she was too kind, so kind that she couldn't bear to see others suffer.
When Qu Yi walked to the elevator, she couldn't help but look back at Ding Huan, who was standing stock still. She felt that something was strange about him.
"What's wrong with that guy?" The girl next to Qu Yi also noticed Ding Huan's abnormality and couldn't help but ask.
Qu Yi shook her head, not knowing what was wrong with Ding Huan herself.
When Qu Yi pressed the button for the elevator to go up, Ding Huan finally came back to his senses and walked a few steps to stand in front of Qu Yi.
"What do you need?" Qu Yi asked.
She had been observing Ding Huan, because ever since he saw her, he had been staring at her without taking his eyes off.
Looking at Ding Huan's eyes, they seemed to be red, indicating that he might be emotional and agitated.
"Can I know your name?" Ding Huan's voice trembled slightly.
Qu Yi smiled, "My name is Qu Yi."
The elevator door opened, Qu Yi stepped inside, and she didn't ask Ding Huan's name. She often met guys like him in university.
"Iyi, is this what it's like to be in love?" The girl next to Qu Yi teased after the elevator door closed.
Qu Yi smiled but didn't say anything.
She had never been in love before, but she had always had many people pursuing her.
To be honest, just now, she didn't see any love in Ding Huan's eyes.
What puzzled her was, what she saw seemed to be a deep familiarity with a long-time close friend, the kind of excitement and uncontrollable emotion upon first meeting.
This feeling is quite strange, making her doubt that she had seen it correctly.
The elevator door had just closed when it opened again.
Qu Yi and her companion saw Ding Huan standing at the elevator door and stepped aside to let him in.
Ding Huan didn't walk into the elevator as they imagined, but instead, he bowed deeply towards Qu Yi and said, "Qu Yi, thank you. My name is Ding Huan."
Thanks to myself? Qu Yi looked at Ding Huan with a blank expression. Why was he thanking her? She tried to think back, but finally realized that she had never seen Ding Huan before.
"Can you give me your contact information?" Ding Huan said again.
Before Qu Yi could speak, the girl next to her said, "Sorry, we can't give our contact information..."
The elevator door closed again, and Ding Huan did not continue to press the elevator buttons.
He took a deep breath, determined to find Qu Yi's residence and contact information no matter what.
Since his fate can be redone once, he will definitely not let Qu Yi's fate be destroyed again by the Gene Alliance.
Without a place to stay in the hotel, Ding Huan walked to the corner of the lobby where there was a sofa and sat there after placing his bag down.
Not having a place to stay didn't matter much to him. As long as the hotel lobby allowed him to stay, he could cultivate here for the night.
originally, Ding Huan had planned to pay some money if the hotel staff came to evict him.
To Ding Huan's surprise, the front desk didn't care that he was resting in the corner of the first-floor lobby. Perhaps, this kind of situation happened to her often.
