Chapter Fifty-Eight: Record, Witness!
……
“…… The world's science and technology has ushered in a big explosion, and a variety of new materials have been applied to the most cutting-edge products. We are proud to know that most of the material was written by us, and it was the plan we implemented that drove it all together......"
“…… Everything was going in a good direction, but Jean told me that she had a bad premonition, which was very strong. But she couldn't tell where this bad feeling came from, and I wanted to believe her, but I couldn't do anything about what she feared......"
“…… The Speaker seemed to have disappeared completely, and everyone in the organization had forgotten that there was such a person, except for me who could vaguely and occasionally remember him. The origins of the organization are attributed to me and Howard. We became two levels of the organization. One for variants and one for humans. I wondered about it, but Howard couldn't remember this person anymore, just like I had imagined such a person myself, and I was confused as to whether to trust my own brain or to trust everyone's memories, and there was a voice in my heart that told me it was important......"
“…… The speed at which the world's variants seem to be born is increasing, and so does the speed at which human technology is evolving, and I miss my old friend Eric a little bit, all I know is that he hasn't been seen since he escaped from prison. Maybe he has quietly married and had children in some corner of this world, and lived like an ordinary person. If so, I don't want to bother him......"
“…… There has been a slight change in the plan, and the location of the product of our plan, the surrounding environment and the organisms have produced strange mutations, or rather, evolution? Evolution influenced by the environment. It felt a little wrong to me, but Howard they took it for granted and thought it was supposed to happen, and I think I was thinking too much, and I hope ......."
“……”
“……”
“…… Things were going bad, Jean was getting more and more mentally abnormal, like a frightened child, she always said that unstoppable danger was coming, I took her words seriously, but I still couldn't figure out what she was panicking about, maybe it was a derivative of our plans? I guess it's time for me to look into it, it shouldn't be influenced by my brain, it always makes me ignore it......"
“……”
“…… The situation is worse than expected, and those species can no longer be said to be pure evolution, but rather a kind of leap evolution! They have become a new species, a new species that is strange, powerful, and beyond human recognition......"
“…… I presented my investigation to Howard and the government, and explained my concerns, and they said they would consider my opinion, but I could hear their perfunctory ......"
“…… Those new species have become the new darlings of various labs, and even replaced the variants! Even William's extreme mutant removal reformist has devoted a lot of energy and time to those new species. The situation of the mutant survival has become much easier......"
“…… The government needs the help of the variants to help them catch those new species. In exchange, the variant can actually legislate, be allowed to integrate into human society, and enjoy the rights of citizens. I can't refuse this condition......"
“…… The corpses of those new species have helped mankind overcome the problems of biology and medicine, countless new drugs have been born, countless patients have been cured, and countless interest groups have made great profits from them, and I feel the same strong fear as Jean, but when the benefits reach a limit, even if there is a cliff ahead, everything can not stop......"
“…… I have been unable to invade some people's brains, and my abilities have been visibly restrained, and those sources of restraint are the products of the corpses of new species, and humans have truly mastered the methods of restraining mutants, and the methods of transforming them, and when they are no longer a threat, they have shown their generosity. I don't know if I should worry about the future or rejoice in the present......"
“…… It seems that Jean and I have thought a lot, and although the world has been twisted and turned due to the emergence of new species, humans are still firmly in control. To the delight of the members of the organization, since the new species is a derivative of the project, many countries and businessmen have spontaneously joined us in order to expand their interests, and everything has gotten out of control, even if I am the patriarch, I can no longer stop the complete spread of the project......"
“…… I attended Howard's child's coming-of-age ceremony today and met his unusually intelligent, gifted child. When I met Howard, he was still single and very young, but in the blink of an eye, decades have passed, and we are all slowly aging......"
“…… Today Howard came to me with a man who I knew, One-Eyed Nick, the head of a powerful organization, and they had discovered some anomalies, something about a new species, and I think what I had feared was about to become a reality right now. The painful thing is that we are powerless to stop it, human beings have become too dependent on the product of that plan, if we take action, human society will be strongly shaken, and if we stop abandoning the plan, then the progress of human civilization for decades will need to be broken and restarted
Before despair, no one will dare to make this decision, and there will be many, many stakeholders who will stop some people from making this decision by any means......"
“…… I attended Howard's funeral today. He was very old, and he had an accident with his wife, was it an accident, or was it a man-made conspiracy that Howard had made when he talked to me in the past few years? I don't know ......."
“…… Nick is dead, too, and I already have a hunch that I'm next. The organization is no longer the one I am familiar with. It's full of fanatics, careerists, politicians, and as a senator, I have no right to suppress those blinded by profit after the death of Howard and Nick......"
“…… It's incredible that they have wisdom and know how to hide and forbear! I couldn't believe what I was finding. But no one believed me, neither the members of the organization nor the members of the government, who would contradict me with the arguments of their own scientists, and I was desperate ......for the new species to be creatures with muscles and no brains."
“…… The insect tide has exploded, and they have accumulated and lurked for decades! They are frantically spreading plagues, devouring the planet's resources, and one human stronghold after another has been wiped off the map. The new weapons are useless against these species, but will be turned into their food, and the ability of the mutant species will be reduced to nothingness in front of them, and people will only be able to fight to the death with crossbow arrows and cold weapons, just like the hunters of ancient times, with crossbow arrows and cold weapons......"
“…… The human world has collapsed, new species have become the new overlord of this planet, and in the near future, both humans and mutants will be extinct like dinosaurs......"
“…… The remaining humans gathered the last bit of resources in their hands to build a small spaceship, and a small number of humans were sent into space as seeds, hoping that they would be well......"
“…… New species also have the ability to break through the atmosphere and even live in the universe. They are adapting and evolving so fast that I can't imagine any species that can evolve in such a short period of time! It's unbelievable that no means can inflict secondary damage on them......"
“…… I thought I was going to die, but I saw a being named Apocalypse, who told me that someone had come to this world and left in a hurry, but his arrival had added a scar to this world that would never heal, let alone heal, and that countless viruses and infectious agents would swarm along this wound......"
A blank sheet of paper in the back.
Fang Zheng and Li Gu looked at each other again.
