Chapter 45: The Ancient Tree
  Lured by Wen Song, the beast swarms lingered around the other side and the acid rain they caused condensed into snow, making the other side’s snow accumulation reach its peak.
  No one here can stop them.
  The avalanche crashed down from the top of Maca Peak in a mighty manner, driving the snow collapse of the entire mountain range.
  The blizzard ravaged and destroyed the basic defense in the north of the other side and rolled towards the middle and southeast of the other side.
  This is a majestic natural spectacle.
  Lin Xi raised his eyes and saw the white snow in the distance, covering the cruising whales. The rumbling sound continued to echo, accompanied by the sound of the creatures getting closer, it was overwhelming and irresistible.
  The avalanche is about to reach and destroy the other side.
  But he wants to live.
  For the first time, he nervously grabbed Mu Yechen’s collar.
  Mu Yechen also grabbed Lin Xi’s cold hand.
  “Don’t be afraid, I’ll take you out of here.”
  The ice and snow that roared in advance hit the body, making people feel painful.
  Mu Yechen let out a high-pitched whistle in the blizzard and countless heteroblastoid cells fissioned and extended from his back, turning into a pair of plump wings, unfolding in the air against the blizzard.
  In the past ten years, the artificial heteroblast of the second generation of mutants has finally made a new breakthrough, realizing the embodiment of a different creature.
  The fiery red feathers warmly wrapped Lin Xi’s body, protecting him from his riding position.
  Mu Yechen completely turned into a huge Archaeopteryx, carrying Lin Xi into the air.
  Archaeopteryx is the ancestor of biological tribal evolution.
  It is like the phoenix totem in the ancient civilization of the Miocene, symbolizing light, rebirth – and Nirvana.
  Lin Xi’s eyes were full of excitement, he firmly hugged Mu Yechen’s neck feathers.
  The wind was howling all the way but he didn’t feel the cold again.
  He let Mu Yechen take him to break through the shackles of the snow and come to the sky above.
  “Boom–“
  The heavy snow toppled the buildings in the north, covering up all traces of human activities and began to quickly devour the tombstones in the flat ground, sweeping towards the middle of the other side.
  Snow chased the gorgeous bird tails, but after a while, they reached the navigation mark of the central human beings – the experimental tower of the Human Evolution Laboratory.
  At this time, the experimental tower was still billowing with thick smoke, and the bomb left by Wen Song detonated the entire laboratory. The original sacred and inviolable field was like a ruins.
  Humans kept escaping from the experimental tower. However, after they have run a few steps, they were already wept to the ground by the violent and tyrannical wind.
  They struggled in the wind and snow and saw a huge avalanche.
  To nature, human is nothing but a little duckweed.
  They could not escape, they could not resist. They could only shudder to meet this passive death.
  Mu Yechen witnessed all this and he flew over the top of the experimental tower. At the same time, he saw hid subordinates from the advance army retreating quickly from inside.
  These are the soldiers who have been following him. They spontaneously stormed the experimental tower and wanted to help him recapture Lin Xi.
  Mu Yechen’s eyes were like torches, his wings were slightly stagnant but the gentle voice of his lover could be heard in his ears.
  “Go, my savior.”
  Lin Xi leaned on top of him and whispered.
  There seemed to be a fire in Mu Yechen’s eyes, which was gently ignited.
  With a high-pitched chirp, his bird-like body suddenly turned around and screamed at the approaching snow wall.
  “Fwoosh–“
  In the high-pitched bird chirping, a blaze of fire spewed from the mouth of the ancestor, igniting a fire several feet high,l and dyeing the heavy snowstorm.
  Clashing with flames and large areas of snow, he is blazing a desperate path for the humans on the ground.
  “Quickly, retreat!” The advance troops also saw the giant red bird hovering above their heads. They evacuated from the experimental tower one by one and were running wildly on the narrow road at the fastest speed.
  But there was raging snow all around, and the snow wall was surrounded them faster than humans.
  “Awoo-” At this moment, a wolf howl suddenly came from the ground.
  From the fleeing crowd, a huge wolf suddenly rose from the ground and the archaea on its body rapidly fissioned, turning into a body that was countless times larger than humans and strode forward in the heavy snowstorm.
  The giant wolf has only one eye left.
  It bowed its head while running, suddenly picked up a young soldier in the advance army and threw him on its back.
  “Brother Luo, Brother Cang!” At the juncture of life and death, the young soldier couldn’t care less, grabbed the giant wolf’s fur tightly and shouted loudly in the snow.
  Seeming to have found the source of the sound, several steel cables shot out from the vast white and quickly nailed it to the body of the giant wolf. The figure of the advance troop soldier retracted the rope and suddenly broke through the snow tide.
  The one-eyed wolf roared in pain, but his footsteps were so fast that he didn’t stop at all, it strode forward with the people on his back.
  “Boom–“
  Behind him, the heavy snow pressed down on the experimental tower, easily breaking the weather vane on the other side like a giant, burying the diamond-shaped signs, sophisticated instruments, and the brilliance of the past.
  The giant wolf did not look back, it had to shake off the entangled snow on it’s fur while running.
  It looked at the Archaeopteryx overhead, it saw the giant human bird spreading its wings, re-accumulating power in the air, and spit out a flaming pillar of fire again.
  The snow wall was cracked again by the flames.
  The giant wolf howled loudly, the thirty-foot snow wall and six-foot-high was chasing the wolf.
  In front, is about to be a human settlement.
  Lin Xi sat on the bird’s back and looked at the familiar city.
  His eyes lit up slightly and suddenly he sat up straight.
  “Mu Yechen.” He said in a low voice, “You know, if I hadn’t met you that year, I might never have known what the ‘daybreak’ was like.”
  Mu Yechen, representing the dark night morning light in.
  If it weren’t for the young man who accompanied him, he might always be a human alien trapped in a cage, an executioner walking in the dark, and he would never be able to appreciate this magnificent, ever-changing atmosphere.
  “You saved my world.”
  Lin Xi suddenly leaned over and kissed the back of Mu Yechen’s neck.
  Mu Yechen’s body shook slightly.
  After a while, Lin Xi’s lips reluctantly left him.
  He looked at the large avalanche that was destroying the other side and at the humans trapped in the heavy snowstorm.
  “Mu Yechen, I think I won’t be able to reach that island.”
  He knew. Mu Yechen also knew that with his physical condition, he couldn’t survive long enough to reach that island.
  “The other side has been destroyed, but the human beings we once guarded cannot be destroyed.”
  Human beings are selfish and always kill each other but they also help each other.
  Lin Xi finally looked at the front with nostalgia.
  “I’m so glad that… what I like and what I like… is a great savior,”
  There was uncontrollable sadness in Mu Yechen’s eyes.
  Lin Xi smiled, reached out and gently helped him smooth the beautiful feathers, and slowly closed his eyes.
  His body gradually collapsed, falling from Mu Yechen’s body.
  Mu Yechen’s eyes widened in vain, he immediately stopped his ability and hurriedly rushed in the direction where Lin Xi fell.
  However, in this short distance –
  Lin Xi’s falling body suddenly stretched out countless vines and the human skin was completely covered by bark.
  He fell from the sky like a dead twig.
  And beside the snow wall of this pressure, a tree was propped up from the ground.
  The tree took root on the other side of the land and continued to grow upwards, like a primitive giant tree in the ancient Noberia forest, towering into the sky.
