After another small age, Li Zhen and Rongshu returned to the off-road vehicle.

The back alley of the bar was still deserted, and there was nothing unusual to see. The lieutenant colonel had already left first, perhaps anxious about the "third party" he saw today.

Li Zhen looked at the woman sitting in the driver's seat and the man in the passenger seat, and asked Rongshu softly, "You mean them?" ”

"That's them." Eiki nodded, "New human." ”

The two people in front of them undoubtedly heard the two talking about themselves. Li Zhen could see that there was actually a trace of self-satisfaction that could not be concealed under their calm expressions.

But if things are really as he heard before, then the "self-satisfaction" of these two can be regarded as a matter of course.

They are lieutenant colonels and "new humans" in the mouth of Rong Shu.

In the early years, when the capable appeared in this world, there were also some radicals who believed that those with that kind of unique ability were "new humans". This name probably comes from a series of films and comics called "X-Man" - where the protagonists also have various "abilities" and "psionic powers", and many people even wonder if the author of that series is also one of the Ables.

However, this title has not been recognized by mainstream society, and even among the group of capable people, there are few responders. In addition to the reason why some people think that they are actually "monsters", another major reason is that most of the special abilities of the capable people are different.

However, any group with the same name will also have a certain high degree of similarity, and it is obviously far-fetched to designate this group as a "new human" because of the different abilities exhibited by the individuals.

However, for now, it seems that both Eiki and Lieutenant Colonel agree with such a title - and Eiki distinguishes himself from these two people.

Therefore, Li Zhen frowned slightly. Whispered: "What do you say?" ”

The off-road vehicle started, and the body bumped slightly. Rongshu thought for a moment and said, "The two of them actually don't have any supernatural or psionic abilities - according to the standards of new humans. But if both of them are C by our standards, they may be close to B. ”

Li Zhen remained silent and listened to him continue.

"Before you know the Dao, we-" he pointed to himself and Li Zhen, "We people don't agree with that title." Because you can fly, I can be strong, and he can live in water like a fish – we're all different. ”

"But think about it. If all the abilities in this world are one kind of ability—they are all types of physical strengthening. If we become strong and powerful, are we a new group? It's like humans and chimpanzees...... What's the difference? Isn't it worse than that 1.5% of genes? Isn't it worse that we are hairless and smarter? ”

Li Zhen looked at the two of them in the rearview mirror and was stunned: "You mean people like them...... Is it all like this? ”

"That's right. Approaching B-level physical strengthening, according to our point of view. Their ability is physical strengthening. Accelerated regeneration - not as strong as you. But wounds heal four to five times faster than the average human. ”

Li Zhen thought of a key question. He pursed his lips: "Ability is determined by the genes in our bodies. Then they ......"

Eiki's face became solemn. He seems to be going to sell off. He stared at Li Zhen for a while before he said, "It's even bigger than the difference between us and chimpanzees." I've heard...... Reputedly...... There is reproductive isolation between the two. ”

Li Zhen finally changed color slightly. He knew exactly what it meant to be in reproductive isolation – reproductive isolation, which in biology usually refers to reproductive reasons, even if they are geographically close. However, there is an isolation mechanism in which different groups of species cannot mate with each other, or are not easy to mate successfully.

This means that the first two people almost belong to two species with themselves and Rongshu!

Therefore, when he looked at the two in front of him again, there was already a little more irrepressible shock in his eyes.

For more than two hours, Eiki had been checking with Lieutenant Colonel the details of the Truth Gate's base in Murmansk, where Li Zhen thought he might be planning to "take a trip" as well. The most frequent mention of the two during their conversation was the new human guard at the Murmansk base, who seemed to be jealous of him.

It wasn't until this time that Li Zhen really understood the exact meaning of the word.

He didn't even have the heart to think about how such a person and an "old man" like himself would get along in the future.

Because he vaguely felt that the emergence of the so-called "new human" might be inextricably linked to himself or to the goal he was pursuing.

It is also because for him, the rise of the "new human" has already appeared once in history.

And the "new humans" thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago are the billions of people in this world today.

According to Candle Dragon, the "Great Master" at that time destroyed the more fragile "old people", and allowed the "new people" - those "new people" who were alienated by the species and then awakened to rule the world. A great flood wiped out the traces of the existence of the "old man", who had been thriving in this world for thousands of years, creating an astonishing civilization.

At that time, the so-called "new people" must have been more powerful than the "old people", and they were almost powerful to the extent of "special abilities", right?

So the term "new human" today seems to be unreasonable...... No, it's not impossible, it's literally worth the name!

But he had a question.

Human beings can be said to have been "created" by the "Great Master" - the species can only make muddy "aliens", and the number of "disciples" like Qingqing is limited. Moreover, the disciples had different abilities, and in fact they did not belong to the so-called "newcomers".

So who "created" these people?

"You mean, in Murmansk, there are more of them like that?" Li Zhen asked Rongshu solemnly.

The latter nodded. It seemed that Rongshu was very happy to see the unusual look of surprise on Li Zhen's face, so he spent half an hour telling him something.

"Come back with me. You can also meet another person, his name is Wang Meng. Rongshu said.

In fact, both Wang Meng and the two in front of him were originally staying in the Murmansk base at the Gate of Truth.

They were born in a huge "womb" - the height of a new human is nearly two meters, and that womb can give birth to nearly two hundred people.

It is said that the dense small embryos are hanging upside down in the womb, and the scene is like eggs in a "alien" movie. When they are born, they are no different from ordinary humans, but once they become individuals, they grow at an astonishing rate – from infancy to adulthood, in about four years.

This first batch of new humanity seems to have been seen as a test by the people of the Gate of Truth. Most of the time they are placed in a closed environment, learning and growing. Such days lasted four years, and four years later. The people at the Gate of Truth don't seem to be happy with them.

Eiki said that the reason for these people to "fall out of favor" is. They grow too fast. As a result, their theoretical lifespan is about half that of the average human.

There will always be one or two outstanding people in any group, and the "Wang Meng" in Rong Shu's mouth seems to be one of them.

Over the course of four years, they had access to some books. The core members of the Gate of Truth are fanatics, and their so-called "doctrines" are born out of Christianity. Therefore, Wang Meng in Rongshu's mouth was fortunate to read the famous "Bible".

Perhaps it is because the "artificial man" has a natural sense of identity with the saying that "God created man", so the new human named Wang Meng actually has some kind of inexplicable sense of mission.

At that time, many "compatriots" died in the trial - in fact, the people of the Door of Truth did not give them much respect in terms of "human rights". So Wang Meng felt that the current situation of these people was actually very similar to the Israelites in the Bible—they were enslaved and persecuted in Egypt. They need a "guide".

This history is recorded in the Old Testament of the Bible. It was also performed by a film and television drama called "Exodus".

He thought he might be the "Moses" who saved Israel.

The process of leading the thirty-six "new humans" out of the gate of truth must have been thrilling, but what is certain is that the new humans were confined somewhere for four years. Even when they fled, they didn't know much about Murmansk.

Later, these people met a small group of Rongshu and Ye Zhixing, and there was "Fir and Eagle".

By the time Eiki had said this, the SUV had already driven out of the city and turned onto a dilapidated road covered in snow.

Li Zhen once again looked at the man and woman in the rearview mirror.

It's hard to tell if they're Caucasian or yellow, but they look more like mulattoes. Women have blonde hair and men have black hair. Li Zhen realizes that when he first meets them, the woman speaks stiffly, presumably because she has only been exposed to the language of the "old human" for a short time—a four-year-old child can't speak fluently either.

However......

He frowned suspiciously: "That person's name is Wang Meng?" What is the name? ”

As far as he knew, the gate of truth was dominated by Caucasians, and it could even be said that they were dominant. So, if you want to name these new human beings, what is a typical Chinese name for 龗? Even the two in front, Rong Shu told Li Zhen that one was named Zhao Xiu and the other was Sun An.

Li Zhen instinctively felt that this reason seemed to be crucial.

Rong Shu couldn't answer his question, and it seemed that Wang Meng himself couldn't either.

But Li Zhen has a deduction of his own.

If...... It was that one person who made it. There is a possibility that, depending on the person's personality, they may be stubbornly given their Chinese names, even if it seems abrupt. However, the man is not yet a "master", and neither is he. Li Zhen has not been able to transform humans like a species so far, and he feels that even with the help of the group of madmen who have the Gate of Truth, it will be difficult to do this—to create a new human.

Unless the One has become infinitely closer to the "Lord" of the old days. But in that case, the other party will definitely not let himself spend so many days in peace.

He felt that Murmansk in the north was even more foggy, and he was equally aware that there might be unexpected gains.

So when the car turned onto a forest path, he asked Rongshu, "What about you?" Why do you want to go north? ”

"Wang Meng wants to bring the rest of the people out." Eiki smiled, "As for us...... Want to get a little bit of something there. ”

His expression was a little embarrassed, and Li Zhen didn't ask any more questions - the other party obviously didn't want to continue the conversation in this carriage. However, if Eiki really wanted to go to Murmansk with them, sooner or later he would have to give himself a reason to get by.

He decided to wait a little longer. What's more, he also wants to see what kind of person Wang Meng is.

The leaden-gray clouds in the sky weighed down on each other, and they went deeper and deeper into the forest. The roadside is no longer just a fir tree, but a red pine and spruce tree. You can see birch trees and aspen trees that have lost their leaves, but it is difficult to see any wild animals.

Eventually, the SUV drove into a wooden house. The house looked tall, like a barn, and like an enlarged ranger's dwelling. It was made of wooden planks, and its outer walls were crumbling, and you could see the logs and hay stacked inside.

When the car entered the house, he saw a large wooden table in the middle, which was covered with dust. The next moment the wooden table splits in half from the middle and pans to reveal a wide passageway.

"Here we are." Rongshu said.

Ten minutes later, Li Zhen was already underground. It doesn't look like this was built by Rongshu - it's more like an abandoned air defense facility. There are many such facilities in the vast snowfields of Siberia, and they are as old as the "Ancient Star King" nuclear bomb.

They enter the underground through a passageway, and the underground is still a passageway. With the exception of a large parking lot, the sections they passed through were only two to three meters wide, with electric lights on the walls, some of which were broken and others glowing a dull yellow. It seems that it was once used for scientific research in addition to air defense, with separate small rooms arranged on both sides of the passage. After getting out of the car, he followed Rongshu all the way, and during this time he met six people - four "new humans" and two ordinary people.

They nodded to each other without much words, as if the cramped and cold environment here also affected people's mood and formed a style.

But he could see that Eiki was in a good mood—perhaps because he felt that he might be able to help them. Li Zhen didn't know why this man was obsessed with going to Murmansk. It stands to reason that they are not themselves, and they have no responsibilities and no burdens. He and Night Kite escaped from the Gate of Truth, and they should have stayed as incognito away as possible, so that they didn't have to fight each other like this.

Until he saw the night kite, now the "eagle". (To be continued......)
