abyss rose

There are some jokes in this world that can't be messed with.

During the successive fall of the outer cities, countless walls rose up one after another.

When the ventilation system is no longer connected, they will be the strongest barrier to stop the herd from spreading.

But those human beings trapped in the wall with the menacing beast horde will be devoured by strange beasts in helplessness and despair, or become the next mutants to be infected.

Biologists at the base once said that no matter whether human beings are swallowed by alien beasts or infected and mutated, there will be a gene fusion that human science has not yet been able to explain.

Those alien beasts born in a new ecology have an innate infectious power, their genes are like a vicious virus, capable of destroying all originally ordered physiological structures, and forming a nearly disordered Reorganize in a certain way, and evolve into a new species while maintaining certain original characteristics.

For the past 50+ years, they have hunted and been preyed upon by ground organisms.

No matter whether they eat or are eaten, they are constantly merging and evolving with each other, just like a handful of dust in the hands of the "Creator God", and they can be transformed into shapes by kneading the soil.

It has been more than 50 years since the catastrophe broke out on the ground, and most of the creatures in the old world have been fused into strange beasts for a long time.

The human base worked hard to collect samples of alien beasts, repeatedly conducted in vivo experiments related to alien beasts, and tried countless times to compile the illustrated book of alien beasts, but found that the speed of human research on alien beasts was far behind the speed of mutual fusion and evolution of alien beasts.

Their changes are too unpredictable. Even if the source of infection spread by the same alien beast is only for the same type of affected species, it is not a small possibility to mutate into multiple types of alien beasts.

Because of this, some scholars pessimistically believe that if the fusion and mutation of genes are really irregular, then humans will never be able to understand the alien beast, let alone defeat the alien beast.

Scholars who made such remarks were sentenced to lifelong rape for sedition.

The base has always firmly believed that mankind will have a bright future.

But at the same time, there is indeed nothing to do about the deteriorating terrestrial ecology.

Today's outer city is like a hotbed of abnormal ecology.

As long as they are given enough time, they can breed more and more inexplicable unknown fears that humans cannot understand.

At that moment, how long can the wall in the outer city stop them?How long can the fortifications of the main city stop them?

If they were to prevent the base from launching the self-destruction procedure for the outer city just for the sake of a glimmer of invisible hope, then every penny the base would pay for this would be something they could not afford even if they lost their lives.

"We can't do this." Chai Yuening said in a deep voice, raised her eyes to look out the window, and let out a long sigh.

The human base cannot fall into the herd.

Human civilization should not be buried underground.

The decision of the base is based on the overall interests of mankind.

In the face of the continuation of human civilization, an individual's life is simply insignificant.

That night, the military in the main city provided the No.13 mercenary team with six good-quality residences, but Chu Ci followed Chai Yuening silently as usual as if he could not hear the military's arrangement, and naturally stayed in the Chai Yuening's room.

At night in the main city, the power supply will not be cut off like in the outer city.

After eleven o'clock in the evening, there was the sound of someone taking a shower in the bathroom.

In the living room, the white casing of the radio had turned yellow, Chai Yuening turned it on, sat down on the sofa absent-mindedly and stared blankly.

The outer city of the base has fallen, but the radio in the main city is still broadcasting those bright futures.

It was less than three days before the self-destruction of the outer city, but the base still didn't mention it. It only said that in order to speed up the development of the base in all aspects, the base was recruiting practical talents from the outer city to the main city.

Practical talents...

Chai Yuening suddenly felt that the base was like a huge machine. Human beings made up one tiny part after another of this huge machine. If it was useful to the base, it would work hard day after day. If it was useless to the base, it could be discarded at any time.

"Now that we have been allowed to enter the research center, we can interview Dr. Ge and Guang immediately to see what the doctor thinks about this alien beast invasion."

"Dr. Ge Heguang, I heard that you have conducted the first round of anatomical research on the batch of mutated samples from the outer city brought back by the military. Can you tell us about the results now?"

"..."

"Doctor? Hmm... Is the mutation sample this time different from the previous one?"

"Among the alien beasts that appeared in the outer city, there is a kind of invertebrate human skin insect whose brain structure is very similar to that of human beings. Their genetic similarity with human beings is 82.63%. Spiny newt, the similarity is 54.77%."

"Does this mean that during the process of infection and mutation, humans have retained their own part to a greater extent?"

"You don't understand... The genetic similarity between humans is as high as 99.9%, and the similarity between humans and mice is 85%, but humans will not become mice, and mice will never become humans." Ge Heguang's There was a bit of confusion in the voice, "But alien beasts are different. It is their innate ability to fuse and evolve with other species. The increase in the genetic similarity between humans and alien beasts does not mean that human genes can survive infection. Humans have no advantage in the mutation process, on the contrary, there is a worse possibility, which means that human genes can be more easily absorbed by this new type of beast."

"This……"

Ge and Guang's tone became more and more excited: "If this kind of beast cannot be stopped from continuing to evolve, in the near future, they are very likely to have the wisdom of humans, and humans will..."

"Zi-"

With a rustling electric sound, the doctor's voice on the radio was no longer clear.

Ten seconds later, the rustling electric sound faded away, the broadcast became clear again, and the doctor's words were no longer as excited as before.

Nothing to worry about, he said, and the base already has ways to deal with it.Everyone should believe in the base, believe in science, and believe that the future of mankind is bright.

The bathroom door was gently opened, and Chu Ci came out wrapped in a wide and long towel.

She looked at Chai Yuening, and there seemed to be a strange emotion in her eyes that could not be seen through.

Chai Yuening reached out and turned off the radio, and looked back at her.

Chu Ci said lightly: "Actually, you can hand me over to the base, to that doctor, maybe he can get something from me, and humans don't have to be afraid of strange beasts."

Chai Yuening opened her mouth, was stunned for a while, and finally shook her head.

Chai Yuening: "When you enter that place, no one will treat you as a human being."

Chu Ci: "Do you think I'm a person?"

Chai Yuening: "If you are not human, I have been in close contact with you for so long, am I qualified to lie on the dissection table together?"

Chu Ci couldn't help chuckling.

Looking at the smiling eyebrows, Chai Yuening couldn't help raising the corners of her lips slightly, revealing a slight smile.

The bed in the temporary residence is not as big as that of Ulan Hotel, but it is enough for two people to lie down.

On the first night after entering the main city, they lay down and slept together, touching each other's arms lightly, feeling the warmth from each other.

Chu Ci asked Chai Yuening: "After tonight, what will you do?"

Chai Yuening thought for a while, and said, "Let's listen to the military's arrangement. Go to the outer city to search for samples, or escort people to the main city. You can do whatever you want."

Chu Ci: "Will you be sad?"

Chai Yuening: "Didn't you say it wasn't my fault?"

Chu Ci: "Will you be sad?"

Chai Yuening was stunned for a moment, and asked back, "Why do you say that?"

Chu Ci thought for a while and said softly: "I don't quite understand your emotions, but if you guessed correctly, your current emotions should be called—sadness."

Chai Yuening: "Are you studying?"

Chu Ci: "Do you want to teach me?"

She asked softly, turned sideways amidst the creaking sound of the loose bed board, and looked at the silhouette of the person beside the pillow in the darkness.

Chai Yuening was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "It's not just sadness, there are more or less other things. Emotions are not a single thing, they are complex and not absolute."

Chu Ci: "Yes."

Chai Yuening: "Like now, I seem to be sad, but at the same time I seem to be very happy."

Chu Ci: "Isn't this a conflict?"

Chai Yuening: "Well... how should I put it, there is a kind of emotion called mixed sorrow and joy. I am like this now. I feel sad because I am not strong enough to change the status quo, but at the same time I am glad that I survived, and most of my partners survived too. , no one blames me for being incompetent, all my self-blame has a place to pour out, and someone tries to heal me...I am luckier than too many people."

Chu Ci: "So, lucky things make you no longer care about those misfortunes?"

Chai Yuening: "You can put it this way, but it's not that you don't care. It's just that it's useless to care anyway. It's better to think about something happy...to be alive, happiness is the most important thing."

Chu Ci: "I seem to understand a little bit."

Chai Yuening wanted to say something, but just as she turned to face Chu Ci, she saw Chu Ci lying upright with her eyes closed.

She was embarrassed, and after thinking about it, she found that there was nothing to talk about, so she pursed her mouth, lay her body flat again, closed her eyes and started to fall asleep.

Chai Yuening thought, after tonight, she should somehow ask the military for something.

The feeling of being unable to help anything made her feel more and more guilty day by day.

However, if you want to help out in the outer city, it is best to go out quietly with the military convoy alone, so as not to be known by everyone, especially Lu Qi.

Now that the outer city has been withdrawn, it may face danger at any time.

That heartbroken Major General Xue Zhou finally called the kid back to the main city. If she took him out again, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.

As she thought about it, sleepiness welled up between her brows.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but in a trance, she always felt that something was touching her.

It's ice-cold, wrapping around your fingertips.
