"Of these 60 million people, about 10 million have fled to the 'ark', while the remaining 50 million have been permanently abandoned on the mainland.

“

Atta said this, Arthur almost knew it.

Seeing that Arthur didn't interrupt, Atta had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask anything more, but continued to speak.

"You're on page 10."

Arthur flipped to page ten.

Above the information are some shocking photos and explanations of the mutation process.

Atta took a sip of his strange homemade drink and continued:

But at that time, the 50 million people who were abandoned on the mainland and managed to survive did not get the favor of the goddess of luck, but fell into an even more miserable abyss.

Some of them slowly began to mutate, gradually losing their human mind, their skin turned turquoise, their teeth became extremely sharp, their nails were triangular and tapered, and their eyes were dark blue. ”

"This ...... Isn't that what it is...... What are the characteristics of that female monster today? Arthur asked, surprised.

"Yes, she's the original mutants."

Arthur's heart sank as she silently recited "LEVELE......", gradually recalling the words of the mysterious man she met today - LEVELA.

LEVEL IS THE MEANING OF LEVEL IN ENGLISH, AND THEY USE THIS TO REFER TO THOSE MUTANTS, SO DOES THAT MEAN THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL LEVELS OF THIS VARIATION? Thinking of this, Arthur hurriedly asked, "The female monster that Dedebo caught today is the situation you mentioned earlier, and you call her 'LEVELE'. LEVEL means level, so I think there are several other mutated forms, right? “

"You're smart, and there are several other mutated forms." Atta glanced at Arthur, perhaps he didn't expect her to ask such a question.

"You turn to another fifty pages."

Arthur flipped to page 50, and Atta continued:

"THE ORIGINAL MUTANTS, LEVELE, WERE REALLY JUST MINDLESS MONSTERS WITH DEVELOPED LIMBS. They are afraid of bright light, thirsty for human blood, and generally do not move during the day, only coming out at night. Relying on guns and traps, it's still easy to catch up.

However, after about half a month, a new batch of mutants gradually appeared among the remaining humans. These mutants also have no mind, their skin is milky white, their teeth are as sharp as needles, and they only have three fingers on their hands, but these three fingers are like sharp knives, and they can cut off people's necks with a slight stroke. THEIR EYES ARE ALSO DARK BLUE, BUT THEY ARE MORE FIERCE AND BRUTAL THAN LEVELE. SIMILARLY, IF YOU ARE INACTIVE DURING THE DAY AND ACTIVE AT NIGHT, WE CALL IT 'LEVELD'. ”

"'LEVELD'......" Arthur was silent for a moment, then asked, "What about 'LEVELA~C'?" ”

"'LEVELA~C' That's a completely different story." Some of the monsters in LEVELD began to devour the blood of other monsters, and the more devoured gradually evolved into 'LEVELC'. 'LEVELC' HAS A BIT OF A HUMAN MIND, MOSTLY COMES OUT AT NIGHT, AND IS NOT AS BRUTAL AS 'LEVELD', BUT ITS MUSCLES AND LEG TISSUES ARE MORE DEVELOPED THAN 'LEVELD', AND CAN EASILY KILL 'LEVELD'. ”

"That's what you call 'LEVELC', right?" Arthur asked, pointing to a photograph of a milky monster with a well-developed body on the document.

"yes, that's what it looks like." Atta nodded, and continued, "The very few people in 'LEVELC' gradually evolved to a higher level through cannibalism and became 'LEVELB'. 'LEVELB' has intelligence close to that of humans, and looks more like humans, with little difference at first glance, but its fingers are still in the shape of three fingers. They can be active both during the day and at night. But because of the intelligence and appearance that is close to that of a human, there may be some sense of identity to some extent. So they generally don't attack humans, but only monsters below their level. ”

"What about ...... 'LEVELA'?" Arthur finally waited for the answer to the question she wanted to know most, and couldn't wait to ask.

"'LEVELA'......" Atta frowned, paused for a few seconds, and then said, "'LEVELA' also evolved from 'LEVELB'. They are almost identical to humans in appearance and intelligence, except that their eyes are dark blue...... It's just ......"

"Just what?" Arthur asked.

"It's just that after completely retrieving human intelligence, all the memories of their mutation have also returned to their own brains. SOME 'LEVELA' COMMITTED SUICIDE BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T ACCEPT THAT THEY HAD BRUTALLY MURDERED THEIR LOVED ONES, WHILE OTHERS EITHER BECAME THE RULERS OF THE MONSTERS OR WENT ON TO REBEL AGAINST THEM. ”

"Embark on the path of rebellion against monsters...... That's how he is, right? Arthur whispered.

"What did you say?"

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Arthur immediately changed the subject, "Then do they all suck human blood?" Or suck the blood of monsters? ”

"That is, to suck the blood of humans, but also to suck the blood of monsters. Once they had a strict hierarchy, they made unwritten rules, namely:

'LEVELA' SUCKS 'LEVELB'' BLOOD, 'LEVELB' SUCKS 'LEVELC' BLOOD, 'LEVELC' SUCKS 'LEVELD' BLOOD, AND 'LEVELD' SUCKS 'LEVELE' BLOOD. However, it is said that if 'LEVELE' can absorb the blood of 'LEVELA', then she will be able to evolve into 'LEVELA'. Therefore, there are also a considerable number of 'LEVELEs' who will attack 'LEVELA' out of bodily reactions. ”

"Attacking 'LEVELA' for the sake of evolution?"

"Yes. But no matter which of them smokes whom, they can suck humans anyway, just want to or not. ”

"In that case, the remaining human beings should be the most dangerous."

Atta suddenly smiled bitterly, "Yes, we are the few remaining humans on the continent. He lowered his head and buried his face in the darkness.

Seeing Atta's sad expression, Arthur couldn't bear to ask too much, just looked at the clock and said, "Thank you Atta, for telling me so much about the truth about this world. It's already at this point, and I think I should go back too. ”

Arthur got up and left his position and walked towards the gate, when suddenly Atta stopped her from behind: "Arthur, please don't blame us. Dedepo and I just don't want anything to happen to you. ”

Arthur smiled, opened the door, and walked out quietly.
