Chapter 1: The New World
"Ziliang ......"
"Ziliang ......!"
An increasingly clear voice drilled into Ziliang's ears.
He wanted to open his eyes, but his body felt like he was in a nightmare, and he didn't obey the command of his consciousness at all.
He could only feel the voice calling his name getting louder and louder, until there was a slight anger, and he could feel some heat in his body, and the back of his hand was ...... It had a feeling of being wet.
Suddenly, something hit me in the side, and it hurt slightly.
"Hey!" It was another voice, coming from the right side of oneself, and along with the sound, it was my own foot being stepped on.
The pain irritated Ziliang's nerves, and he suddenly regained control of his body, and then opened his eyes violently.
A burst of light pierced his vision, and in the haze, he seemed to see a table.
…… Desk?
He turned his head blankly and saw Hallie on the side. Quinn was frowning at herself, and at the moment, Quinn was not wearing the nurse's uniform, but a dress that accentuated her figure, although she was still wearing a double ponytail, but the strange makeup on her face had disappeared.
Looking at Ziliang's appearance that he had just woken up, Quinn looked at him anxiously: "Wake up, Mr. McCoy is calling you!" ”
"Mr. McCoy?" Ziliang was dizzy, he shook his head, and turned his gaze to the direction indicated by Quinn
It was only then that he finally recognized the situation around him.
This is an ordinary classroom, surrounded by more than 20 'students' who are definitely not ordinary.
The reason why I say 'not ordinary' is because these students vary in age, from elderly people in their fifties to children under the age of teens.
What is even more unusual than age is that among this group of people, there are not only normal humans, but also 'weird people' with extremely strange appearances.
For example, the person sitting in front of Quinn, he has two heads, and the guy sitting in the first row, Ziliang can't see what he looks like at all, because it's just a windbreaker floating in the air Well, Ziliang realized that it was an invisible person.
At this moment, they were all sitting in chairs, looking at themselves in unison, with a hint of schadenfreude in their various eyes.
Obviously, I am also one of these 'students'.
And the teacher standing on the podium, "Mr. McCoy" as Harley Quinn called it, turned out to be a beast with eyes.
Well, Ziliang doesn't know how to describe this Mr. McCoy, he is supposed to be a 'human', but he is all blue, with heavy hair, and his muscles and face seem to be more inclined to the strange appearance of a beast, so that those who see him at first glance will immediately think of 'a standing, slightly short-sighted blue lion'.
Perhaps seeing Ziliang's eyes that were still hazy, McCoy asked lightly, "So, Mr. Ziliang, do you know where we are talking now?" ”
"Thirty-three pages, penultimate paragraph," Harley Quinn prompted, burying her head in the book, squeezing her voice hard.
Only then did Ziliang notice that he had been holding a book in his hand
Introduction to Mutant History
He frowned and flipped the book to page thirty-three.
The penultimate paragraph, which was not too long a text, Ziliang was puzzled and read it out of consciousness
"In 1995, the conflict between humans and mutants finally intensified to a flashpoint, and an interracial battle swept the world overnight, and in just four months, the world's population was reduced to about 40 percent.
In war, there will never be a winner.
Perhaps in order to ridicule the absurdity and ignorance of human beings, a year after the war stopped, the genetic mutations of human beings began to skyrocket at an irrepressible rate, and almost all human beings in the world, regardless of gender, race, and age, all began to mutate, until 2009, 99% of the world's human beings were all defined as mutants, and the mutant probability of newborn babies was 100%, and in 2011, the last ' The non-mutant died of natural causes in a Washington, D.C. hospital at the age of 86, and thus all mankind officially entered the 'mutant era'. ”
"Good." McCoy said, "Thank you, Mr. Ziliang, for reading this paragraph aloud for us, and of course, I hope that the next time you go to bed in class, you won't talk in your sleep." ”
"Haha-" A few laughs that weren't hostile.
"Alright, we're not done yet." Mr. McCoy clapped his hands: "This text is not just to tell you a simple year, but more to warn everyone that war is wrong after all, no matter what its original starting point is
However, war is inevitable, because greed, competitiveness, hatred, desire, and other terrible things lurk in everyone's heart, and they are an indispensable instinct of life.
Therefore, contradictions are unavoidable, and we mutants, because we have more abilities, are more prone to irreparable regret because of these unavoidable natures in our hearts.
Between 2004 and 2019, the annual mortality rate increased by 22 times due to the conflict between mutants.
A level 3 mutant has the ability to kill a level 1 mutant in a matter of seconds, and a level 5 mutant has the ability to destroy a city. What's even more terrifying is that some newborn children, because they can't control their own ability leakage, will always inadvertently kill or destroy things around them, and it is said that the mortality rate of obstetricians at that time was as high as 70%. ”
"It's horrible, but it's good that I wasn't born in that era." Quinn muttered to herself, and it was clear that her dream seemed to be that of a doctor.
Professor McCoy looked at Quinn and smiled, it seemed that his hearing could hear Quinn's self-talk: "Yes, it was a chaotic, and dark age, there was no law, and there was no ability to restrain billions of new mutants, according to the conversion of probability, at that time, there were at least more than 10,000 level 5 mutants in the world at the same time, and more than 200,000 level 4 mutants, and the level 3 mutants reached 200 million, so, in the third year of the beginning of the mutant era, the structure of the entire human society, Signs of collapse began to appear
Until"
"It wasn't until Bill X came out that we had the world we have now"
Ziliang suddenly took over the conversation, because he had already finished reading the entire "Introduction to Mutant History" during this time
Professor X, who was the first Supreme Leader of the Mutants at the time, Charles Francis Xavier, proposed "
