Chapter 428 Fall (please subscribe)
[Thank you for the monthly ticket support of "Heavenly Youshen". My family has been very busy during the holidays in the past two days. I finally have time to code today. Thank you for your support~]
What does the past mean?
For anyone, the past means the trajectory that has existed, and the label is also a certainty. It is with the past that it converges into the present and continues to the future.
But if your past is just a bunch of data and pieces of genetic information, then what's the significance of such a past? Just like Zero at this moment, he was confused when he knew that it was a * body created by the biological genes of the last era, and it was more than his own * body.
The reason why a person can work hard, work hard and persevere. Because I know that there is only one life, and every minute and second is precious. But when you know that you are not the only one, but can be replaced, then what's the point of all your efforts and persistence?
When he saw the * body with the same appearance as himself in the photo, Zero's heart was full of unspeakable pain. He wanted to ruin all this and pretend that nothing had happened. But he knew that it was just self-deception. For a moment, he even thought about staying in this base and never going out again until he died.
But Beatrice hugged him, and the woman told Zero with her temperature that he was not the only one to take on these things. Beyonris's words touched Zero's heart more deeply. She was his beacon. Because of Beyonise in her life, Zero also had something called "the past". Except for Beatrice, those familiar faces appeared one by one in front of Zero.
Su, Feng, Berien, Ye Liu, Hai Wei, Agatha, Lia... Maybe there are many * bodies, but he is the only one who has these memories.
He is zero, and he can't change his identity as a * body, but these memories have become the affirmation of zero. Because of their existence, zero is zero!
Suddenly, Zero was glad for the arrival of the catastrophe. If it hadn't been for this global disaster of baptism, I'm afraid Zero would only wake up as a * body and act according to the instructions. In that case, there would be no current zero.
"Thank you, Biss. I'm fine." She gently stroked Beyonice's face and said softly, and at the same time, she decided to leave safely with Beyonise anyway.
Bionris's eyes glowed again when she saw zero, and she was happy to know that the man was cheered up again. She nodded happily and thought of something. Suddenly, she held Zero's face seriously and kissed him heavily on the lips.
Warmly intertwined.
For a long time, the lips are divided. Beatrice gasped gently, "Remember my taste, zero. As long as you remember, you are zero, not anything else.
Zero smiled and casually said, "I'm not anything."
After saying that, he realized that he had lost his words, and Beyonice had already laughed. After laughing for a moment, Beyonris covered her stomach and said, "Of course you are not a thing. You are my zero."
"Let's go and see what Iger* says." Zero clenched Beatrice's hand and took her to walk back to the command platform.
Since you can't change the past, it's creating the future!
Zero said to himself, looking at the softness clenched in his hand, Zero decided that he would never let go in the future!
Back to the podium again, Zero's hand stopped in mid-air for about a second before pressing the play button. This action may be nothing for others, but for Zero, it is a kind of determination to face his past. No matter how strange his "past" is, Zero should face it calmly.
The image continues to play.
Eiger* showed a regretful expression: "Everything was going smoothly, but unfortunately, what we touched was God's domain after all. On the 13th day of gene formation, all * bodies suddenly collapsed. Even Dr. Callahan, who is in charge of this plan, can't say a reason. It seems that it involves a lot of subtle data. Although in terms of computer simulation, the survival rate of * body should have reached 90%. But just like God's prank, we hit the remaining 10%.
"What's it like to see nearly a thousand * bodies turn into meat foam in the culture tank? Anyway, every time I see a bacon burger, I feel like vomiting. Failed, a very tragic failure. The death of thousands of * bodies means that tens of billions of funds, including the efforts of all staff at the base, have been scrapped. Egger shook his head and said, "Fortunately, a * body survived, and its life characteristics were very stable, as if it had devoured the vitality of thousands of other peers. This * body survived the period of genetic instability with almost terrible vitality. He survived!"
Zero looked at Beyonris with a strange expression. He pointed to himself and said, "Isn't that me?"
"Stupid, who else is there besides you?" Beatrice smiled and said, "Are you completely relieved now? All the * bodies are dead, and only you survive. In a sense, you are also unique and irreplaceable.
nodded effortly.
On the screen, Eiger* continued: "But after Halson's old bastard knew about this, he insisted on sending the surviving * body to their base through the upper class. It is said that the * body has genes very similar to super biological weapons, so the success rate of transplantation will be very high. That bastard plan, I heard that thousands of excellent soldiers around the world have been lost, and now we even want to take away our only finished product. There is really nothing more asshole than this!"
When he said this, Eiger* showed extreme anger, during which he raised his fist and roared more than several times. But after that, his expression became depressed again, * and he smiled bitterly, "But what's the use of saying this now. All right, let's get back to the story. * After the body was taken away, we no longer have the right to know what happened to him. However, Dr. Carrahan still tried his best to win a little power. We extracted some blood from the body of the body to extract the stable-formed gene. Dr. Carrahan is not ready to give up. He intends to try to cultivate another mass-produced biological weapon by separating and processing and adding genes of other organisms based on the genes of * body. The superiors were very much in agreement with his plan and added research funds. But if I knew what would happen after that, I should have tried my best to prevent Dr. Callahan from continuing his research.
"Just as I said before, the owner of this gene, the life of the fourth era has a human appearance. As an infinitely evolved life, God knows whether the human appearance has evolved from some kind of monster. There is no way to verify this, but I am very responsible for telling you who are watching the video now that Dr. Callahan's follow-up research has cultivated not quantity weapons, but a completely uncontrollable monster!"
As soon as the picture turned, Iger* inserted another video. In the picture, it seems to be in a world under some kind of microscope. There is only one strange cell in this world. Its shape is constantly changing, sometimes round and sometimes flat. Sometimes it becomes diamond-shaped, triangular and cuboid. It will produce countless spikes on the surface of the cell, or turn into **. In just a few seconds, the changes of cells are almost endless and do not repeat.
After a moment, the cells trembled violently and then split into two. The two are divided into four and four into eight and eight to become infinite. The cells divide almost infinitely, and finally the screen is densely occupied. What's more strange is that these divided cells are undergoing different changes, and there is no commonality between them, just like an independent object.
After this picture disappeared, Iger*'s figure appeared on the screen again: "What you just saw is the isolation of genes extracted from the blood collected by Dr. Carrahan and the substances obtained by integrating the genes of other organisms. We call it Z substance, which has only a thousand sets of memory DNA and only 1% of the total amount of * bodies, but it has excellent stability and can survive in almost any carrier.
Z substance has two characteristics, one is based on thousands of groups of memory DNA, which can evolve correspondingly for the stimulation of different environments; the second is almost infinite division, at least by our current measurable means, it can perform at least one million-level divisions. This provides the carrier of substance Z with very reluctant vitality. As long as a cell remains, the carrier can be infinitely regenerated. Theoretically, this is a very powerful biological weapon. Imagine a biological weapon that can evolve against the stimulation of different environments to adapt to the environment and is almost immortal. If it can be mass-produced, then it is definitely the favorite of the battlefield. Eiger sighed: "This is probably the main reason why the superiors decided to increase the funding of Dr. Callahan's plan. They want an army that can be controlled and can't be killed anyway. Because of this, Z material has successfully cultivated nearly 1,000 units from the original ten units in less than a month. If it hadn't been for cultivating them so much, there might not have been a tragedy later.
"Yes, tragedy!" Colonel Eiger stressed: "Z matter can't be compared with super biological weapons, and it can't match the life of the fourth era, even the * body. But that is also the conclusion compared with the above metamorphosis, and compared with ordinary life, it firmly occupies the top of the biological chain. For other ordinary lives, it is a disaster. Although we were careful to avoid this disaster, it still happened. So far, I can't help but wonder if they are also observing us when we observe them outside the culture tank. Otherwise, how did they seize that opportunity and cause this disaster?
"That opportunity happened half a year later."
Iger* said with a wry smile: "Originally, secret bases like white blood cells are naturally refused to be visited. But the problem is that when the Prime Minister wants to visit our research results, he naturally has no right to object as a subordinate. On that day, all the staff of the base stopped their work and devoted themselves to this important visit. Among these people, Dr. Curd is included.
A photo was inserted into the picture, and there was a thin man in the photo. The body under the researcher's long coat was so thin that it seemed that a gust of wind would blow away, and importantly, the man's appearance was somewhat similar to those researchers who attacked zero.
"Did, Dr. Cord, who was originally in charge of biological weapons research, also visited Dr. Callahan's biochemical experimental area. In this process, one of the thousands of units of Z substances quietly leaked out of the culture tank and lurked with Dr. Curd as the carrier. On the third day after the visit, Dr. Corder had fever and vomiting. But at that time, the doctors at the base only dealt with it as an ordinary virus infection, but it was such an oversight that led to Dr. Curd, who had been completely integrated with Z substance, finally launched a massacre of the whole base a week later!" Eiger* held his head and said, "It was not until Dr. Codd created hundreds of derivative monsters with the splitting properties of Z matter that we knew that he was 'parasitic'. And after that, his medical records were transferred to know that Dr. Cod had long shown signs of parasitism, but we neglected it. By the time thousands of derived monsters attacked the researchers of the whole base, the situation had reached an irreparable situation. Based on the danger judgment system set in the morning, the main computer of the base activated the emergency defense mechanism. The computer independently closed all emergency entrances and exits and sent distress signals to the outside world, while we could only rely on the main control room as the last refuge. Fortunately, this situation has been considered at the time of the construction of the base, so the main control is designed with the concept of fortress-style buildings, and conventional materials are also stored on weekdays. We were able to survive in the control room for a period of time, but the rescue was delayed. The base had become a playground for Dr. Curd and his derivatives, and we gradually felt desperate.
"Maybe it's to stimulate us and capture us. Dr. Codd, who has been affected by Z material, showed the cruel and cunning side of his potential personality. He deliberately leaked some information to let us know that the water circulation unit of the base can still be used. Moreover, there is a hidden passageway in the water circulation machine room. That is the working channel for repairing machine parts, which can go directly to the surface and is not under the control of the main computer. This is almost the only way for us to live now. When we got this information, the people in the control room were divided into two factions. I advocate staying in the control room and waiting for the rescue that I don't know when it will come. But the other faction advocates taking risks to leave this hellish base. Eger shook his head and said, "Those poor people, I tried to dissuade them. This is the simplest trap. Even if this channel really exists, Codd will not let us leave. These people, known as the best among human beings with an average IQ of more than 160, are as stupid as pigs at this time. Of course, I can't blame them. Under the pressure of survival, it is understandable that they are willing to take risks. After the final dissuasion was ineffective, I could only distribute the few remaining guns and ammunition to them and pray that they could leave safely.
"But the result is obvious that half an hour after they left the control room, I heard gunfire from the depths of the base. Some people even escaped back desperately, but were torn to pieces by Codd's body halfway. Since then, no one has been willing to take risks. Dr. Karahan once said that substance Z has a serious defect, which is the reason why it has not been applied to the carrier. But the detailed information is left in the biochemical area, which is so dangerous outside that we can't reach the biochemical area. Otherwise, maybe we can find the weakness of the beast Corder. Iger* said to the camera with incomparably painful pain: "To this day, I'm sure there will be no more rescue. All food and water have been exhausted, and my beloved colleagues have become beasts in order to survive. I have to end them in order to preserve the only humble dignity for them.
The camera moved aside and appeared in the picture like hell. Wearing uniforms and people bit each other on the ground, leaving mottled marks on the ground. It is hard to imagine that these beast-like people used to be upper-class people with decent life. But now, they have become ghouls.
Of course, they have all turned into corpses now.
This is the last picture left by Eiger*.
