Chapter 288: The Death of the Red Man (Part II)
Contagious and hereditary!?
These two words made Liu Zhi's eyelids jump, and he was quite surprised in his heart, about the side effects of gene implantation, in fact, he had guessed the previous ones, but these two were very unexpected to him, because after the gene implantation, both the body and the brain will gradually "become a beast", so scientific researchers must not be contaminated with this disease, otherwise the IQ will be low, like a beast, and the six clans will lose their foothold in the crying abyss.
It's just that Lie Yan also said that the original incarnation of the Chiren was the Lothar tribe among the six races, so it can be seen that even if the gene implantation is infectious and hereditary, it is likely that it will only spread in the population and will not extend to other races.
Liu Zhi didn't deliberately verify this guess, because Lie Yan was still telling it.
"Our ancestors came here two years after entering the abyss, and quickly decided to build a base in this place to thrive. At that time, the total population was less than 50,000, and as the strongest of the six races, the warriors of the Lothar tribe had always been responsible for protecting our compatriots and fighting demon beasts for more than a year when we had lost the energy of weapons. ”
"The side effects of MY1, because the situation at that time was too critical, there was no time to wait for the final test results, so it could only be put into use immediately regardless of the cost and consequences, so the captain of the battleship ...... That is, the leader of the Lothar tribe at that time gave a death order, all adult males of the Lothar tribe must unconditionally accept the implantation of the MY1 gene, even including himself, in order to prevent the 'Yunwala civilization' from dying out here, the Lothar people used their blood and even their lives to win a vital respite, and they were born in this gap that did not see the light of day, and opened up a dawn! ”
Lie Yan said this, his eyes began to redden, and his voice trembled slightly, "At that time, there was no Radiant City at all, the original base had just been built, everything was in a state of ruin, and it was all developing in a beautiful direction, and it was at this time that disaster came, and MY1's contagiousness broke out without warning, just on that day, at least more than ninety percent of the Lothar people were infected, and their bodies and minds began to be beastified, and unlike gene implantation, their beastification process was much faster, Almost overnight, the vast majority of the remaining 8,000 Lothasa people, men, women, and children, all of them became 'instincts over reason'. ”
"Fortunately, although they have become bloodthirsty, manic, and extremely aggressive, they still retain some sanity, you must know that at that time, our ancestors did not study the cultivation method, only with the bodies of ordinary people and those weapons that have long been exhausted, in the face of the completely beastly Lothar people, the result is undoubtedly slaughtered."
Seeing him pause, Liu Zhi twisted his eyebrows and interjected: "Mr. Lie Yan, it stands to reason that the genetic similarity between the six clans should be extremely high, but according to what you said, none of your five clans seem to have been infected with this 'beast' symptom?" ”
"Yes, Chief Liu."
Lie Yan nodded, and said with some emotion: "As you said, the genetic similarity of the six races is very high, and the difference is so small that it is almost negligible, but after all, they are not the same race, and it is precisely because of this subtle difference that our five races were lucky to avoid that catastrophe." ”
He turned his head to look at Liu Zhi, his gaze and expression were as deep as his expression, and he sighed softly: "In other words, this kind of 'bestiality' can only be transmitted among pure Lothar people, even if it is a hybrid of the Lothar tribe and other races, they can be immune to it. This situation will occur, our ancestors were also unexpected, because, even with our technology across the sea of stars, in several races with extremely high genetic similarity, it is impossible to make such an accurate distinction, and this kind of genetic infection specifically for a certain race is completely inexplicable in science, well, maybe it can only be called a coincidence, a coincidence with a very low probability! ”
Is it a coincidence?
Liu Zhi lowered his head and thought of the talk-about genetic weapons on Earth, do these weapons really exist? If not, is it possible to research it? He didn't know any of this, but there was no doubt about one thing, since such a thing had happened to the Red People, it was very likely that other races would also suffer, including the five races of Radiant City, humans, and even the hundred extraterritorial races.
I didn't bother much about this issue, after all, Liu Zhi is not a scientific research worker, if you meet experts in related fields in the future, then consider the feasibility of this path.
Looking up at Lie Yan, he turned back to the topic and said, "What about later?" How did you drive out the Red people? ”
"Chase away?"
The corners of Lie Yan's mouth twitched, and he smiled bitterly: "You think too highly of us, although we were more numerous at that time, our combat strength was very different, and the Red People didn't need to be all dispatched, at most one-fifth, it was enough to wipe us out." ”
He lowered his eyebrows and added softly: "At that time, the vast majority of the Lothar people were still able to control themselves after becoming beasts, at least they would not attack us, but there were also a very small number of people who were out of control, they completely followed their instinctive actions, just like extremely hungry beasts, killing people when they saw them, and then eating corpses, the whole camp set off a huge panic at that moment, people ran blindly and fled in all directions, but at that time, the camp was full of red people and monsters outside, it can be said that there is nowhere to go at all, it is natural, Everyone fell into despair, believing that no one would escape death, and that the Yunwala civilization would eventually be extinct,"
Speaking of this, Lie Yan's emotions were a little excited, his eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse, "No one thought that the turning point still appeared, that person was the leader of the Lothar tribe who was also beastly, the captain of our battleship, he was one of the few people who remained sober, those who were not out of control, and most of them were willing to obey his command, under his orders, all those who were out of control were killed, and then, while the captain was still sane, he resolutely led all the red people to retreat from the camp, however, they did not go far." They are still active in the vicinity, doing their best to protect the safety of the camp, and every once in a while, they will provide food to the camp. ”
"At that time, many people speculated that the captain did not lose his mind, but because there were too few sober people among his subordinates, he had to take the red people away, otherwise something out of control would happen, or the symptoms of 'bestiality' would be transmitted to other races, and I was afraid that the situation would ...... It's not so easy to control. ”
Speaking of this, Lie Yan took a deep breath, tried his best to calm his emotions, and continued in half a voice: "It is precisely because of the protection of the Red People, as well as the food supply for decades, that we have survived the most difficult early stage of development, and the Radiant City was successfully established, and then there is the Dark Forest, however, things in this world are never as good as they should be, in the thirty-seventh year of entering the abyss, the captain has passed away, and the Red People have not moved much, just busy electing a new leader, but the Radiant City is mourning for the whole city, everyone, Men and women, young and old, are remembering this great hero! ”
"At that time, no one knew that the death of the captain was actually just the beginning, the beginning of a real nightmare!"
"After a few more years, the only few sober people left among the Red People also died one after another, and the Red People had less contact with us, no longer provided us with food, and no longer guarded our safety, and even words and languages, they were gradually lost, and as time went by, every bit of history was completely buried, and the Red People really became beasts that drank blood."
"Entering the seventy-sixth year of the abyss, the contradictions between the two sides because of the territory and food, finally reached the point of irreconcilability, so the war broke out, the red people came to attack, we swore to resist, that battle, inside and outside the light city, at least more than 100,000 red people died, and we also had nearly half of the young and strong deaths, both sides were greatly injured, but since then they have formed a blood feud, hehe, who would have thought that this feud would last for eight thousand years."
"But even so!"
Lie Yan's eyes closed for a moment, and he added with a painful expression: "How dare we forget the sacrifices they have made, and everything they have paid for the 'Yunrava Civilization'?" Each of them has the blood of martyrs in their bodies! ”
Looking at the emotions that were a little out of control, Liu Zhi was speechless for a while, he didn't expect that there was such a layer of origin hidden in the grudge between the two sides, the Lothar clan had saved the entire Yunwala civilization, and now, the five clans of Radiance City, which represented the Yunwala civilization, had to kill them all, no matter who it was, it would be an extremely difficult and painful choice!
