Chapter 10 Dusty History

Si Xingfeng was stunned, he originally thought that the mutants in Sarah's mouth were referring to mutants in Marvel blockbusters in the 21st century, but it didn't seem to be the same thing at all......

"Mutation means the essential change of the genes of the living individual, and once it is mutated, it also means that the living entity will be separated from the original race!" Sara continued, "And the original reason for the establishment of each fortress is to expel and isolate mutant life to ensure the safety of us humans! ”

"Are there a lot of mutant lives?" Si Xingfeng was very surprised, it has been more than ten years since he came to this era, and he has seen a lot of mutants, but he has really never heard of the so-called xenomorphs.

"yes, a lot, even more than you think!" Sara sighed, "It's not just xenos, the endless lands outside the Eight Great Fortresses are full of mutant life! ”

"Eight, fortress? Outside? Si Xingfeng seemed to understand something.

"Well, our Far Eastern Fortress is one of the eight Great Fortresses, and together with the other seven giant fortresses, it forms a strong defensive line that keeps mutant life out of it."

"But why have I seen demon beasts in Juyeze, they should be the demon species you are talking about!" Si Xingfeng thought of the huge three-eyed thunder crow.

"What's so strange about that, maybe it's the descendants of the weak demon species that were not cleaned up back then!" Sara said lightly. "You can understand that the eight fortresses form a ring, isolating a small piece of land suitable for us humans in the area where countless mutant life survives."

"And in some places that are not suitable for us to live, it is not surprising that there are still some weak demon species." Sara was a little unimpressed.

Si Xingfeng couldn't help but be a little stunned when he thought of the countless broken floating boats in the woods in the center of Junozawa. Is the powerful destructive power of the Three-Eyed Thunder Crow actually just a weak demon species, and what should a truly powerful demon species look like?

"Alright, once you're at the War College, you're going to have to re-establish your worldview." Sara said, "The real world is not what you thought it would be. ”

Si Xingfeng's heart 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped in an instant, I tried my best to study in Dongting Academy for several years, but you told me that all I did was useless!

"Nearly 800 years ago, our planet was hit by a terrible storm of time and space." Sara told him about the real history.

When Si Xingfeng heard this, he immediately became excited, what Sara is talking about now happens to be a blank historical stage that he doesn't understand at all.

"The storm ravaged the entire planet, and also cut off the information communication between people, and the resulting super radiation caused many life forms to mutate." Sara said with a little sadness, "It was a dark age that lasted for nearly a hundred years, and almost all the cities were destroyed by manic and ferocious mutant life, and the surviving humans had to flee for their lives! ”

"Later, a group of people gradually came together and began to use the remaining weapons and resources to build a new home. And the shelter they built was the forerunner of our War College, the War Fortress. Under the protection of the fortress of war, they finally survived in the cracks of countless mutant lives. Motioning for Si Xingfeng to sit down, Sara continued.

They then continued their research in the fortress, trying to unravel the mysteries of the mutation of the living forms. Gradually, they suddenly found themselves slowly evolving and mutating. Some people's bodies began to strengthen, and their strength and speed were greatly improved, but at the same time, their IQ began to drop significantly. Others find themselves beginning to have some inhuman characteristics, and they are actually developing in the direction of mutants, but unlike mutants, they still retain a clear human consciousness......"

"Is this what supernatural power looked like in the beginning?" Si Xingfeng asked.

"Yes, this is the time when these ancestors first encountered extraordinary power!" Sara nodded, "As they gradually became stronger, they began to slowly walk out of the fortress and expand their area of activity, and from there, the Terran city-state also took shape. ”

Thinking of those savages living in the wilderness, as well as the many mutants living in the floating city, Si Xingfeng suddenly realized. "After that, because of different physical changes, they split, right?"

Sara nodded, "The group of people whose wisdom has dropped greatly were the first to be expelled from the city-state. Then, within a few years, for some unknown reason, many mutants began to build the first generation of floating cities, and also left the city-state area one after another. After this split, the city-state was also considered to have lost a lot of power, so in order to target the invasion of variants, there were fortress plans and academy plans. ”

"The so-called fortress plan is to unite the mutants, completely expel those powerful mutant beings with serious threats, and build strong fortresses to prevent them from counterattacking." Sa stretched out his left arm and clicked on the virtual screen, releasing a schematic diagram to facilitate Si Xingfeng's understanding. "The plan was successful, and the area of human activity increased dozens of times as a result."

Si Xingfeng keenly found the location of the Far Eastern Fortress on this map, but what puzzled him was that outside the Far Eastern Fortress, there were still many symbols of the Floating City. "Are these floating cities abandoned outside the fortress?"

Sara shook her head, "It has something to do with another big event that happened. As I said before, when mutants are mutated to the extreme, they will also become mutants! The floating cities you mentioned all defected from within the fortress lines. ”

"Defection? Will they be accepted by the other variants? Si Xingfeng was puzzled.

"Yes, everyone thought that mutant beings were barbaric and bloodthirsty at the time, but in fact, their intelligence is only higher than ours!" "Even in their eyes, we are the lower beings who should be destroyed. ”

Si Xingfeng was completely stunned, did a space-time storm actually turn the human race that had conquered nature for thousands of years into a so-called low-level life?

"Don't be unbelievable, in addition to being extremely savage and bloodthirsty, mutant life is indeed better than we evolved at the genetic level." Sara shrugged helplessly, "Fortunately, they don't have any sense of technology, so we can have a slight advantage in the war with them." ”

"So that's how the academy project came about?" Si Xingfeng asked tentatively.

"It's easy to talk to smart people!" Sara let out a joyful scraping metal sound, "Probably in the fifth year of the formation of the fortified defenses, war colleges have been established in each fort. The purpose of the War College is to develop the ultimate in science and technology, and to train the most powerful warriors with the help of powerful scientific and technological means! ”

Si Xingfeng nodded, "Understood!" You can't fight with your body alone, so we can use equipment, hence the War College! ”

"That's pretty much it." Sara nodded. "But that's not all, the War College is a world away from what it was six hundred years ago."

"As you can imagine, at least six hundred years ago, there weren't so many extraordinary professions." Si Xingfeng pursed his lips.

As if remembering something again, Si Xingfeng looked at Sara tentatively. "Sarah, do you know magic? Or rather, the Magic City! ”

Hearing Si Xingfeng ask, Sara was taken aback, and then nodded again. "The legend of the Magic City is a thousand-year-old city, and its founder has always been dedicated to exploring the mysteries of the human body's genes, but I don't know anything else."

"What about magic, it seems to be an extremely powerful transcendent system?" Si Xingfeng continued to ask.

"It's very powerful, but it's also very taboo!" Sarah's eyes were a little evasive. "Every year, a large number of new students at the War Academy die tragically for practicing magic...... It's better for you to ask less about it, it's the power of the devil. ”

Seeing that Sara seemed a little afraid to mention magic, Si Xingfeng stopped asking questions in a knowing way. Anyway, I'll have a lot of time to explore it in the future.

……

While the two were chatting, the big man pushed the door in time, as if he had finished the reception of new students.

Si Xingfeng was a little surprised, it turned out that he thought he would have to wait for a long time, but he didn't expect that the big man only received three more students besides him, and ended today's work.

"Here, you four get to know each other!" Dahan brought the three of them to Si Xingfeng.

Si Xingfeng hurriedly stood up and said with a smile, "Hello, Si Xingfeng of Dongting Academy." ”

A tall and thin young man with a lot of freckles on his face was the first to answer: "Hello, Nanqi Zhao Xiongtao." ”

"Xiqu Mu Lingfeng!"

"Beichen Xie mayfly."

The other two teenagers were all concise and to the point, only reporting their names and then not talking.

"I don't seem to have mentioned it to you yet, my name is Zhong Chen, and I am your senior." The strong man with the knife on his back smiled heartily, "The reason why I am here to receive you today is because we are the same, we are both special students of the academy!" ”

As soon as Zhong Chen's words fell, the three teenagers all looked at the others in surprise, and only one of them stupidly didn't know what the special enrollment meant.

Zhao Xiongtao, who was full of freckles, seemed to be very talkative, "Brothers, my extraordinary profession is a giant force, what about you?" ”

Mu Lingfeng was thin and small, but his eyes were extremely bright, "Giant, no wonder you can be specially recruited, I'm far behind, light chaser." ”

"Humph!" Xie Mayfly, who was dressed in black, snorted coldly, "Ninth Order Chasing Light Mu Lingfeng, the first person in Xiqu, is too low-key!" ”

Si Xingfeng also saw that this Xie mayfly seemed to be full of unwillingness to see Mu Lingfeng. But this Mu Lingfeng was a little disappreciative when he heard the other party's sneer, "In front of the light of Beichen and the shadow Xie mayfly, I, a rank-breaker, are not worth mentioning. ”

It was this Zhao Xiongtao who cheered, and hurriedly played haha, "Great, great, I didn't expect that classmate Xie was a rare shadow chaser." Immediately, Zhao Xiongtao looked at Si Xingfeng again, "Classmate Si, I don't know what your extraordinary career is?" Being specially recruited at the same time must be a very rare profession, right? ”

Si Xingfeng also heard it at this time, except for himself, the extraordinary professions of these three are extremely powerful and rare. As for themselves, this profession is rare enough, but compared to them, it is really weak, and it can't be weaker.

A cute and charming smile appeared, "Me, coordinator! ”

Zhao Xiongtao: "Co-ordination? ”

Mu Lingfeng: "I seem to have heard of it, what are the characteristics?" I can't remember! ”

Xie Mayfly: "Isn't the coordinator the garbage profession of the chicken ribs?" Si, do you have any other careers? ”

Si Xingfeng shook his head, "Not really, my only transcendent profession now is a coordinator." ”

Zhao Xiongtao: "Oh, I know the coordinator, this can also be recruited?" It seemed a little incredible, and his later words were obviously said by looking at Zhong Chen.

However, Xie Mayfly took over first, "It seems that the War College really has a special effects quota for coordinators, classmate Si is amazing, he actually thought of this method to become a special enrollment!" ”

Xie mayfly doesn't have any irony, it's just that this guy doesn't know why he speaks, but he just has a very annoying feeling.

Fortunately, Si Xingfeng has also been used to cynicism in recent years, and he doesn't mind too much. However, Mu Lingfeng seemed to really remember what a coordinator was, and his bright eyes couldn't help but look at Cheese Xingfeng, as if he wanted to see which part of his body he had transformed.
