Chapter 223 The Origin of the Orc
In the dialogue between the night and the otter, the concept mentioned has gone beyond the times, and even beyond the times that the night can understand. Then, the night kept throwing out the doubts in his heart, and Hongqi did not hide it and answered them one by one.
This abnormal space is not natural, but man-made. It was first opened as a huge laboratory.
The power of science and technology is unparalleled.
Eight hundred years ago, the Qinglin Star military had done an experiment that was contrary to human beings. They extracted the genes of various animals, then blended them through organic chemistry, and finally got a large batch of finished products. Then millions of experimenters were screened to carry out experiments.
The original intention of the experiment is to enable ordinary people to acquire extraordinary abilities through genetic mutation.
But the actual effect is not ideal.
The luckiest part of people have successfully mutated, maintained the human shape, and gained the ability and strength of beasts, but there is a tendency to change to animals in their habits.
Another part of people have directly turned into the shape of a beast, just like Hong Yu. Although they can still retain their language and thinking ability, it is difficult to call them human beings.
There are also a large number of people who die directly because they can't stand the changes brought about by genetic mutation. This part of the people accounts for about half. However, these dead people gradually evolved into another kind of life because of the special environment. The younger brother Skull Xiaoqiang, who was taken in by the night, belongs to this category.
The rest of the people retain some basic human characteristics, but also have part of the shape of the beast. These are the prototypes of the orcs seen in the night.
"In this way, the essence of orcs is human beings?" The night is thoughtful.
"It can be said, but if it develops later, it may not be." The otter Hong said, "After the experiment, the military once maintained a high degree of attention, but after discovering many drawbacks, it gradually lost interest. Because there is not only one way for human evolution, such as absorbing subtle energy, which is a reasonable way.
In fact, they are also military experiments. Their evolutionary mode is to absorb the energy of nature. For example, Qingyue Energy belongs to wood, Hawk belongs to earth, Xiaoxin belongs to water, Huoling belongs to fire, and so on.
After being criticized for the evolution of the beast gene potion, the test site was abandoned by the military. Over the years, it has been in a state of abandonment and semi-abandonment. I don't know why, the test site opened some gaps not long ago, causing a large number of orcs to leave.
In this way, the invasion of orcs in the bronze trial field can be explained.
But after so many years of evolution in the genetic mutation test site, the species has undergone earth-shaking changes. Among them, the most powerful are human beings like Hongti who have completely mutated into beasts. They are usually awake, but once the fog hits, that is, the night of the genetic test site, they will lose their mind and wander around.
They are the group of people who want to go out the most, but somehow they are not allowed.
They are the hegemons of the test site, but they are all alone. They may know each other, but they dare not intersect easily. Because when the fog comes, the reason is lost, and the beast attack is a life-and-death fight.
"If there is no fog, can you stay awake all the time?" The night moved a little carefully. These old guys, just pull a few out, are all great power.
"Young man, you want to persuade us old people to go outside!" Hongti suddenly smiled and opened a big mouth full of teeth: "I've also thought about it, but I think there is a reason why the military has been closing us. Although this fog has an impact on the mind, it should be indispensable. It can maintain our function. Once we go out, there will definitely be bad changes. If you can find a way to eliminate the adverse effects, I think most of the old monsters are willing.
The night is lively, but I'm afraid it's a little difficult to find the right way. However, there is a magic doctor at home, and he may find some ways, but this matter is too far away and needs to be discussed in the long way. If it is convenient, the military will not let them stay here.
Besides, in the trial field, human beings after genetic mutation can't get out, so they settle down in this environment. Humans are gregarious animals, so they also survive in this mode.
Orcs come together to form tribes and reproduce. Over time, they are also dispersed according to different genes to form ethnic groups. For example, the dog-headed man, the wolf-headed man and the eagle man seen at night.
These orcs, unlike the first experimenters, mutated their inherited genes. The main manifestation is that the instincts of beasts are getting stronger and stronger, while the human mind is getting weaker and weaker. In the end, most of the orcs were reduced to survival like beasts.
They only know the hunting instinct, and gradually forget the civilization they once had as human beings.
Some offspring with outstanding intelligence also have signs of evolution in a good direction, such as the use of crystal power and outstanding intelligence. They are vertical and horizontal, forming a huge collection.
"What's wrong with the purebred humans in the test site? Why do they need to pay living people as tribute?" The night was puzzled.
When Hong Di heard this question, he sighed for a long time: "The best batch of early evolution finally found that it was a tragedy. Their lives have been sharply shortened, and their average life expectancy after mutation does not exceed 30 years. They had no choice but to occupy the north side of the river and began to reproduce the next generation. Although the life expectancy of the next generation has been extended, the acquired genetic ability has been weakened. Generation is not as good as generation, and eventually it gradually becomes the ration of orcs.
"Kill each other and feed on people? How can you not stop it? This is the regression of civilization and the sadness of mankind. The night understood it all of a sudden, and he was quite dissatisfied.
"Do you think we don't work hard?" Hong Wei said, "When we are awake, although we are beasts, our minds are still human beings. If it hadn't been for us old men to negotiate with the orc tribal leaders, these people would have been eaten up by the orcs long ago. How can there be any left?
I heard from Hongqi that this east-west river is the territory of their solitary walkers, so the orcs dare not fool. But they can completely attack from the shore and can't be prevented. In order to preserve some pure human fire, it was finally agreed that every monsoon would be paid by purebred humans as tribute.
This measure has brought temporary peace.
"If it were me, I would destroy those nondescript orcs. They no longer belong to human beings." The night hates.
"We are no longer qualified to do this. Look at what I look like now. There is no human being." Hongti said and moved his body, "We old people dare not have offspring. Who knows what the born species will be? Besides..."
Hong said, and his eyes began to get wet.
"What's more, when we are confused, we may have eaten human beings. You said, what qualifications do we have to condemn orcs and question their behavior?"
Great sadness, the pursuit of strength, but eventually reduced to such a monster.
The atmosphere in the cave is extremely strange. An otter and a young man are talking, and the atmosphere is solemn. Five orangutans went out for a while, and then came in with a string of fruit, extremely active. On the ground, there was still a coma serious illness.
"Young man, please go. Now my physical fitness is beginning to recover. I'm afraid that I can't control myself when the fog comes. Hongti persuaded, "I'll give you a ride while I'm still awake."
From his words, the night felt a strong fatigue, and a trace of unwillingness, unwillingness to fate.
Hongqi shook his fat body, climbed out of the hole and fell into the water. The night hugged the first butterfly and climbed to Hongqi's back. Like a small boat, it is also like a small submarine floating on the water. Hongqi left here at a very fast speed and swam to the north.
"There is a stockade 80 miles to the north. Just settle down where you are." Hongqi pointed out that his body was moving forward in the water at a high speed: "Where does the patriarch know me and will treat you as his own? If you have a heart, give him a hand. He is all about leaving this trial ground.
"In this way, are you familiar with the ephedra tribe in the west?"
"I know, but there is no intersection."
A few hours later, the night and the first butterfly arrived at the stockade mentioned by Hong Di. Hongqi let out a cry in the water, and soon someone rushed over.
The night went ashore with the first butterfly in his arms and found that this tribe was much bigger than the ephedra.
There are three leaders, two men and one woman. Strangely, the skin of the people of this tribe is not as dark as that of the people of the ephedra tribe, but a little yellow.
It seems that the night was wrong before. This skin color problem is not because of light, but because of race. The first butterfly should belong to the black race, and the yellow race here should be. Black hair and black eyes are very similar to the appearance of night. No wonder Hong Wei said that the patriarch would regard him as his own.
The three of them first saluted Hong Tiao in the water and answered a few questions before they paid attention to the night.
"Hello, distinguished guest." The middle-aged man stretched out his hand, and the night felt a burst of kindness for no reason.
"I'm the patriarch of the Lianqing tribe, Li Jiang."
"Wu Zixu, just call me the night."
After shaking hands, the old man introduced two young people around him: "This is my son Li Luan and daughter Li Ge."
Everyone salutes one by one. Li Ge took away the first butterfly in the night's hand and walked to the square.
The t Otter behind him sank into the water and disappeared.
Later, the night also tried to find Hongyu, but he couldn't find it. I have to say it's a pity. He has also been to that cave, and five orangutans are gone. I don't know if I left or was swallowed by the lost Hongti. If it's the latter, it's really a tragedy.
