Chapter 4: The Cursed Child

"Hum ......"

Lan Yuan Yanzhu hummed a song that he couldn't even understand but had a crisp melody, although it was very brisk, but it added a touch of coldness and poignancy to the silent ruins of the city.

As a cursed child who has been diagnosed as a cursed child who has been hated by the world since birth, Lan Yuan Yanzhu has not enjoyed a day of maternal love, because every child will be checked when they are born to confirm whether it is a cursed child, if it is not okay, if it is, some fierce parents or doctors and nurses will be killed directly.

But I don't know if it's a lucky or unfortunate beginning, although Lan Yuan Yanzhu was found to be a cursed child, but her parents and doctors may not have completely swallowed up their conscience by disgust, so they just found a random place and threw her away.

Although Lan Yuan Yanzhu was not killed directly after being found to be a cursed child like most people, she was also abandoned by her parents, which is why she is both lucky and unlucky.

As a newborn child, how can she take care of herself? If it is a two- or three-year-old child, it is fine, but a child who has just been born for less than a day is directly discarded in a remote corner, which is undoubtedly indirect killing.

However, although it was discarded, Lan Yuan Yanzhu's powerful physique as a cursed child allowed her to survive in that remote environment for two days, and then she was picked up by several children.

These children who picked up Lanyuan Yanzhu also have the same red pupils as Lanyuan Yanzhu, and their physical fitness is very strong, and they also have extraordinary recovery ability, and they are also 'cursed children'.

[Cursed Child]: When both parents overingest the Gastrea virus, which causes too much virus in the body to be transmitted to the unborn child, these children thus have a certain gastrea ability, so the cursed child is hated and persecuted by most people.

Originally, the sex of the fetus could not be selected, but due to some of the effects of the Gastroa virus, all known children with the Gastroa virus were girls.

This has been around since the Gastrea War.

Their eyes turn red when they use their abilities, and when they release their abilities or are injected with fluids, the rate of Gastrea virus erosion will gradually increase, and when the rate of Gastrea virus erosion in the body exceeds 50%, they will Gastrea, so they have to inject inhibitors every day. Most of them live in the peripheral area because of their exclusion.

Ingestion of Gastrea virus, because many things will be contaminated with this virus, so it is inevitable that some people will be contaminated, this virus can actually be ignored for people, as long as it is not contaminated too much, or it is injected directly into the body by the original intestines, nothing will happen.

At the same time, this virus will also have a growth-promoting effect on many plants and animals, although it will make animals a little irritable and become huge, and plants will also become bigger, and there is no other harm, but you can also get more food.

Although disinfection will be carried out before picking and eating, it is inevitable that there will be some poor people or troublesome people who can't help but eat directly after any disinfection action, or eat something that should not be eaten, so that the virus will enter the human body, and a trace amount is okay, if it is too much, it will not only harm your own body, but if you combine with others to have children, there will be a high degree of birth of 'cursed children'.

[Gastrea]: The gastrea virus is a viral parasite, and the gastrea is an animal parasitized by the gastrea virus.

Gastrea will not only devour humans, but also inject their own body fluids into the human flesh to infect them, the gastrea virus has a strong ability to modify DNA, and at the same time it also has a super survivability, not only has a strong adaptability, but also the repair speed of the flesh when damaged is not comparable to ordinary species, and can even evolve in just a few minutes to resist emerging threats, and destroy brain tissue or heart in the first time to kill it, At the same time, the varanium metal inhibits the regeneration of the gastrea, so the metal is used to make weapons against the gastrea.

And the organisms that are infected by this virus are called 'protozoans', because the infected creatures will become like animals.

If a human is infected, it will also become an animal-like proto-intestinal organism.

For example, if you are infected by a spider-like 'protosatular', then that human will become like that...

Only the 'cursed child'

At this time, many, many years have passed since the original great war, and the sacrifices of that war have also greatly reduced the number of human beings, and the human realm has also dropped to less than 20% of the original level.

You must know that although the territory of human beings at the beginning seems to be theirs of the whole world, there are actually too many spare places, after all, the population is not enough to have people everywhere on the entire planet, even if there are tens of billions of human beings, but there are still many, many less for the planet.

However, more than 80% of the entire human territory has been lost, and the humans can only shrink into an environment protected by the megalithic monument.

But fortunately, because of the fall of most of the human race, there are enough people in those places to survive, and only eight billion people of tens of billions of humans survived, and the rest were either eaten or assimilated into 'protozoans'.

Originally, there were so many protogastal animals in the whole world, plus so many infected humans, it was really a big crisis, if it weren't for the existence of something that could restrain them, human beings might all perish because of this.

But by the time the humans found something to restrain them, it was too late, and a large number of people had been lost, and now the humans were all confined to the metal walls, as the Light had guessed.

However, because of this metal wall, human beings have been able to slowly recover in the past few decades, although they do not expect to be able to fight back quickly, but at least they have studied how to organize human forces to fight these 'protozoans' There are still some hard and fast rules.

There is even a profession that is independent of the military and the police, and it is also a very important profession that is also the front line of the fight against the 'original intestines'.

That's the police!

Because this is a private company, it is called a people's police, which is more powerful than ordinary police, but because it is a private company, most of the people's police have not received unified training, which leads to unevenness, some are very strong, but some are slightly stronger than ordinary people.

After all, most of their strength is still in the 'initiator', compared to the 'initiator', they are at most a person who uses props, and those 'initiators' are the props in their hands, the props used to make money.

[People's Police]: The abbreviation of the civilian security company, which is responsible for exterminating the gastrea from the outer world into the human settlements, is a civilian company, so it is generally carried out in the form of a commission.

The content of the missions includes not only the suppression of the invading gastrea, but also various missions such as bodyguards, guards, and searches. Basically a duo (initiator and promoter) armed with weapons made of varanium metal serve as the executors of the mission.

【Varanium (錵hua) Metal】:

It is a mysterious metal excavated by humans in the volcanic area, which itself can emit a special weak magnetic field, which can weaken the activity of the gastrea virus and make the gastrea lose the ability to regenerate, and is not only used as a raw material for the armed equipment of the civil security company, but also made into a giant stone monument called the enchantment and erected on the periphery of the human living area, and the magnetic field generated by it can protect the area of human activity and keep the gastrea away.

The metal walls that the Holy Light saw before were made of this special metal, which can be said to be found in volcanic areas in many regions, but because this metal is used for strategic material reserves, it is a bit expensive.

【Initiator】

One of the duo on the mission of the Civil Security Club is a carrier of the Gastrea virus, that is, the "cursed child", because he can exert the power of the Gastrea virus and has the ability to repair the body of the Gastrea, so he is the main combat force of the duo.

The police can go to the International Initiator Monitoring Organization (IISO) to 'buy' or 'replace', although this organization is ostensibly for the good of the 'cursed children', in fact, as long as you find the 'cursed children', you can sell them to them, and then they can teach these 'cursed children' a little bit of fighting skills and then sell them to the police at a high price to earn a good return.

[Promoter]: That is, the police themselves, as the starter's partner to assist the battle and give the starter core support. Generally also the guardian of the partner starter, most of them are ordinary humans, of course, there are a few powerful humans, although the combat ability may not be as good as the starter, but they are basically good at fighting.

However, most of the promoters regard the initiator, that is, the 'cursed child' as a tool, a tool that can help him make money, so naturally the attitude towards the children is not very good, and even some of the 'initiators' can't even eat, and they have to fight while starving, once something goes wrong, then those policemen will directly give up on them and run away, because they are just a tool in the eyes of these policemen, since the tool is useless, then it will naturally be abandoned and replaced with a new one.

Anyway, it's just a 'tool' that can be bought for a sum of money, they have already made a lot of money from the previous 'tool', and they can get a new money-making 'tool' for a little more money, so why not? (To be continued.) )
