"Get ready to skydive!"

"Jiang Ke! Hurry up, you! The voices of the captain and Li Jie followed, accompanied by the painful roar of the plane, and Jiang Ke's head was dizzy.

"You jump first!" Jiang Ke glanced out the window, the plane was falling too fast, and he rubbed to the end of the line.

"Remember your mission!" Chen Lian took one last look at his teammates, turned around and jumped off the plane first. Then there were the rest of the team, captain Wan Liang, medical soldiers Ding Ning, Zhong Tao, and Li Jie.

It was getting closer and closer to the ground, Jiang Ke gritted his teeth, and waited for Li Jie to reach a safe range before jumping down in a hurry. There wasn't enough time to glide and not enough time to prepare, and he even felt like he could reach the towering trees below. “3…… 2…… 1......" He said silently in his mind, and when he counted to one, he quickly opened his parachute, hoping to slow down his fall slightly.

Not long after the parachute opened, it hooked on a branch, which could not support his momentum, and after a moment's slowdown, it broke off. Jiang Ke fell straight down, a sharp pain tearing at his legs. At this moment, the plane crashed and exploded not far away, the fire was blazing, and the wreckage fragments of the plane were blown around, and he was so shaken that he couldn't open his eyes, trying to struggle to move, but his seriously injured leg did not allow him to move a bit.

……

"Brother! Jiang Ke! Hold! We're almost at the hospital! He lost consciousness, but faintly, he heard someone shouting in his ear.

……

"Brother, the Slots are pressing in front of Fairbanks, we are going to evacuate with the army, wake up quickly!"

……

Then, his world returned to peace, and it seemed like a long, long time had passed, and he could barely hear anything.

The sound of shredded footsteps, the sound of a machine turning on, the ticking of liquids, the numbing pain. He felt that someone had come to him again, and that person had come and gone. He felt his physical strength recover little by little, and it seemed that he was gradually returning to the real world from a weak state.

……

Jiang Ke opened his eyes suddenly, gasping heavily. He looked around, it seemed to be a laboratory, rows of test tubes, all kinds of instruments were placed everywhere, and he had large and small instruments on his body, and there were drips hanging on his arms. He sat up sharply, staring at the man sitting next to him, his eyes darkened.

"Awake?" Jaime rubbed his hair, looking half-asleep, "Then it's your turn to be on duty, I watched you all night without closing your eyes, and you were about to die." ”

Jiang Ke frowned, "What is this?" He pointed to what was on his body.

"Do you remember yesterday's events? Killing a bear? Jaime gestured.

Jiang Ke nodded.

"And then you fainted, and I put some glucose and some 'Jaime's Cocktail Restorative' on you, and you just didn't have energy," Jaime explained, "and for the rest...... I'm sorry, but I'm sick of the job. Did your body change when you fought that giant bear? I tested you curiously. You know, I said before, I'm a professor in biology, and even though I look young, I'm a professor. ”

Jiang Ke motioned for him to continue.

Jaime yawned, "It seems that if I don't finish, you won't let me rest", he poured a glass of water and put it in front of Jiang Ke, "You are not the only person or creature with these changes, based on my analysis and observation of multiple samples, this series of changes are caused by extraterrestrial pollutants." For example......" he picked up a test tube, "I collected it after the Slots first used this weapon, when most of the humans outside the bunker died mysteriously shortly after. But strangely, the animals were not affected at all, so my preliminary guess is that this is a genocidal weapon aimed only at humans. And ......," Jaime picked up the other tube, "this is what I picked up after the humans dropped the nukes." ”

Jiang Ke looked at a few test tubes of similar colors on the table, "Nuclear weapons? ”

"Oh, yes, you don't know", Jaime looked at Jiang Ke, then thought of something, and hurriedly looked away, "Less than a week after the start of the war, due to the extermination weapons dropped by the Slots, which were too lethal, causing a lot of no-man's land, plus the Slots themselves are immune to pollutants, they used pollution as a cover to carry out genocide all the way, killing the humans who were alive under the bunker or for other reasons. After the final asylum announcement, the World Government launched a vengeful attack on all the occupied territories, using nuclear weapons. ”

Jiang Ke silently digested the information in Jaime's words, he was in a coma for three months, and the world had been turned upside down outside, and then, he thought of what the minister said on the plane, and his mind was clear. The Slots have come to avenge their countrymen.

Jaime observed Jiang Ke's expression and found that this person was so happy and angry, normal people heard such content, even if their psychological quality was good, I am afraid they would be at a loss. "Going back to the subject, I noticed that the characteristics of these pollutants began to change when exposed to nuclear radiation. It is no longer simply effective for humans, it also has an effect on animals. The most terrible thing is that its effect is no longer death, but causes certain changes in the incoming organism. Jaime looked at Jiang Ke, who had been in a silent state, and continued, "I know it's hard to understand, you see, this is the dog I picked up", he didn't know where to drag out a strange corpse, with an experimental sticker with the words 'Specimen-67' on its pointed ears, "This cute little teddy has a different appearance than normal, you can see his mouth, strong jaw, and body posture is twice as normal, but his limbs are very unevenly developed." He fiddled with the corpse's forelimbs and hind feet, and it was obvious that there was a clear difference between length and stoutness, especially the left hind leg, which was almost like a congenital deformity compared to the other three legs that were well developed. "You see, its owner must have liked it very much, and he also dyed it and styled it, so that you can see that it is a 'little' teddy."

Jiang Ke kept staring at the corpse, and after a while, he muttered, "This thing is a dog?" ”

"Hmmm! I've tested its genetic sequence, and it's really a dog! Of course...... It used to be mostly dogs...... I know you're passionate about dogs, and I'm sorry to hit you with this. ”

Seeing the obvious look of disgust on Jiang Ke's face, James smiled lightly and continued, "So, I compared the two types of samples. The original Contaminant is a bioweapon that is precisely targeted at humans, and will not be effective against non-human species. Unfortunately, I didn't have access to chimpanzee samples, and I've always wondered if chimpanzees were counted as humans or animals, after all, their genes are so similar to humans that maybe there will be another planet of the apes or something. Of course, animals also play a very important role in the Slot's attack, and they play the role of a medium. If the host is human, it causes lesions, and the time to death varies from person to person. Anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Then, the biological weapons that have undergone nuclear radiation mutation lose their original lethal effect. The symptoms I've observed now vary, but rather than lesions, I feel like the infected creatures are adapting to their environment and evolving! Jaime said excitedly.

"Evolution? You call it evolution? Don't you feel more like a mutation? Jiang Ke's voice was as calm as ever.

"No!" James immediately denied Jiang Ke, "This is evolution, the unit of evolution is genes, and the individual of life is a survival machine dominated by genes. I think the original purpose of this pollutant is to find a human host and rewrite the human gene, so that the vector of this gene, that is, the human being, will give up on evolution and survival, and at the same time wait for the opportunity to find the next host. So I tested a lot of dead human bodies, and they died of different causes, but there was no evidence that the deaths were caused by this contaminant. It is more appropriate to give up survival than to be killed. I parsed their DNA, and all the infected people had multiple pairs of chromosomes modified, so I think this pollutant has rewritten people's genes, changing survival to giving up and choosing to die. Therefore, a variety of complications suddenly occur, and the cause of death is that the body's immune system strikes, just like AIDS, which disappeared many years ago, but this is more exaggerated, and it is advisable to wait for it immediately. Continuing with the cute little teddy we just had, the dog's DNA was also rewritten, and I compared its DNA profiles between living and posthumous. You look at this sample. ”

"Isn't it supposed that dogs will be unaffected?" Jiang Ke asked coldly.

"This is caused by contaminants after exposure to nuclear radiation!" Jaime is seen in the air with the words 'Archival Sample-67'. "Look! With a stronger jaw, larger body size and strong limbs, it has indeed evolved to be more adaptable to nature. It's a pity that its evolution failed, looking at its deformed limbs, the cause of death was that the organs did not keep up with the rapid evolution of the body, and there was no way to support such changes, and it died of cardiopulmonary failure. But in the end, it did not give up on survival, but in order to survive better in this Fxxked up environment. ”

"So you're saying that the pollutant itself is telling our bodies to commit suicide, but now it's becoming a reinforcement for our ability to survive?" Jiang Ke tried to summarize James's incoherent speech just now.

"Hmm...... It's a little inaccurate, but it's basically understandable. And in terms of genetic mapping, dogs are no longer dogs, and people are no longer humans, they can only be said to be humanoid and dog-like creatures. ”

"So you're holding an analysis of a teddy dog dyed by its owner and dressed in fancy dress and put it on a person?"

Jaime looked at Jiang Ke meaningfully, "Of course not", he dragged a long tail note, and picked up another test tube from the table, "This is the blood sample of the man in black who had a chance to win the 'long-distance running world championship' yesterday", Jaime switched the projection data to Sample-121, and Sample-22 was displayed on the same screen, "Look, this is the original contaminated human gene."

"World champion?" Jiang Ke raised his eyebrows.

Jaime shrugged, "You won't forget, it's the fastest 'sheep' who left all his teammates behind yesterday", and he then cut through the data of sample-33, 34, and 35 on the projection. "These are samples of the survivors here after the nuclear explosion, so even you can see the difference."

Jiang Ke stared at the data on the projection, analyzed it carefully for a moment, and nodded thoughtfully. "And what about Sample-122?"

"I found it! I am delighted with your powers of observation and analysis. That's right, No. 122 is your sample, and by the way, I'm sample-33. New types of pollutants have different effects on individuals, and they have different triggers, you look at 33, 34, these are the dormant structures, you look at 121 and 35, which are after being triggered. However, the composition of 121 and 35 is basically the same, and the difference feels more like a difference in the degree of influence of the triggering medium. But yours, it feels like that's something else, I can't explain it now, I need a little more time to observe and analyze. ”

"So, we're all not human anymore?" Jiang Ke asked.

"Academically, we're not human. It's already a new genre! After all, there is a 1.2% difference in DNA between humans and orangutans, so what do you say? ”

"That'...... Will we continue to evolve? Jiang Ke hesitated for a moment and asked his own question, "If you count this as evolution." ”

"I don't know, I don't know what the trigger is. Now the pollutants are like they have made an agreement with our genes and coexist, temporarily dormant. Some of the rewrites are also just for survival. The actual body of the pollutant is an unknown organism that may have had their genetic profile altered after being exposed to nuclear radiation. I think that this change may be due to the survival instinct in their genes, which drives them to evolve, attach to a new host, and push the host to become stronger in order to continue "themselves". ”

As soon as he woke up, he received a frenzied input of information from a science maniac, and Jiang Ke needed some time to analyze everything that was happening around him.

Jaime thought that he was a little entangled in mutation or evolution, or that he was no longer human, but a new type of humanoid creature that he couldn't accept, he tried to appease Jiang Ke, "Think about the good, maybe you are a member of the Avengers in the end times, and if I trigger it, um...... Dr. Banner? Hahaha. Seeing that Jiang Ke still looked like an iceberg, James's laughter was particularly embarrassing, and he silently stopped laughing, "I'm sorry, I'm alone, I've been holding back for a long time." By the way, I don't know what your name is. “

"JACKIE CHEN (JACKIE CHAN'S ENGLISH NAME)", JIANG KE LOOKED AT THE PLACE WHERE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SAMPLE-122 WRITTEN SAMPLE-JACKIE CHEN, AND REPLIED LIGHTLY.

"You love old movies too!?" Jaime danced excitedly.

"No, that's what you wrote above", Jiang Ke replied lightly.

"Oh..."Jaime was a little disappointed, thinking he had found someone like-minded.

"Call me Ke."

"And what about your profession?" Jaime asked.

"Stuntman."

"Wow, actor, you really don't like to watch old movies?" When Jaime heard the word actor, he smiled again. "But...... What can a stuntman do? But it also makes sense. Jaime nodded to himself.
