Chapter 32: Li Mo's Plan
After leaving for ten days and returning to the familiar family home again, Li Mo couldn't help but have his heart racing.
rushed all the way home, rushed into the living room, and the first thing he did was to press the recording and playback button on the landline.
I remember that when my mother wanted to buy this phone with recording, Li Mo scoffed at it and complained very sharply. But after being reborn, he knew what this call meant to him.
Soon, the familiar voice of my mother sounded in the recording.
"Xiaomo, the whole world is in chaos, the streets are full of man-eating monsters, mom is so worried about you!"
"Good son, Mom doesn't know if you're still alive. But if ...... If you hear Mom's recording, you must live well, you know? ”
"Mom is fine here, your sister and your brother-in-law are fine, so don't worry about us, just take care of yourself. Xiaomo, you must remember, don't come north to find us, mom, as long as you live well! ”
……
Listening to his mother's choked message, even if he was reborn once, Li Mo couldn't help but burst into tears.
In the last time and space, I didn't miss my mother's call. I remember that at that time, my mother said the same thing. didn't show himself the slightest panic about the end times, but repeatedly told himself to live well.
Li Mo's father, an old electrician in a machine factory, died in an accident when he was still young. After that, it was his mother who suffered alone and pulled him and his sister up, so the two sisters and brothers were very filial to their mothers.
Later, after graduating from university, my sister stayed in the capital city of Y, and married a local brother-in-law and settled there. And not long before the end of the world, it happened to be the third birthday of his little nephew, and his mother flew over to see her grandson.
But this walk turned out to be an insurmountable gap between mother and son.
At that time, Li Mo had no ability to go north at all in the early days of the last days. A few hundred kilometers away from the capital city of Y, not at all an ordinary survivor can walk.
"Mom, everything is fine here" But even before he was reborn, Li Mo never believed his mother's pale lie. At that time, he did not complete his first evolution until a year after the end of the world, and then embarked on the road of going north to find his relatives.
It's just that when Li Mo rushed to the nearest large survivor gathering place to the capital, he only found his sister. As for the mother and brother-in-law, as well as the little nephew who had just turned three...... Don't mention it.
But at that time, my sister was also reduced to an old woman who relied on selling meat to survive. My sister was only 28 years old at the time, but she looked miserable at nearly forty years old.
For those "past events", Li Mo really doesn't want to recall them anymore. But today, he had to return home. Because he had to confirm whether his family in Y City had changed because of his rebirth.
During these days, Li Mo had never mentioned his private affairs to anyone, so naturally no one knew the pain in his heart.
As a reborn, Li Mo originally had the opportunity to warn his family in advance. But everything was the same as in memory, and no one answered my sister's landline at all. Because on the day the end of the world came, their family and mother happened to go to Xiangshan in the capital to see the red leaves.
But the landline can't get through, but there is still a mobile phone. But I don't know if it's providence or a mistake, the mobile phone has been in a state of unreachable, either busy or not in the service area.
Therefore, Li Mo was unable to contact his family until the end of the world, but he still went to Zhen Yingna without hesitation. Because he must seize the opportunity of evolution, only then can he have the ability to go north as soon as possible.
Before Li Mo was reborn, she had heard her sister say that when the end came, she and her mother happened to be in a shop in the scenic spot. And then he was trapped there with some of the survivors who had escaped.
It's just that the brother-in-law took his little nephew to buy snacks, which became the final parting.
For the missing brother-in-law and nephew, Li Mo has no ability to take care of it. But he knew that his mother would die in the middle of the second month after the end of the world, on the way to the gathering place with a group of survivors.
So as long as the trajectory of Y City does not change, then there is still time, and he still has a chance to change the fate of his mother and sister.
Fortunately, although I went to Zhen Ying's place, I couldn't get a call back from my mother. But as I expected and expected, I received this recording of the phone call. And the caller number, which also matches before the rebirth, is still the same store.
As for why there was only one pass on the day of the end of the world, it was because my sister and mother had to move with the other survivors on that day, because there was no food in that store.
However, Li Mo was still unwilling to pick up the landline and dial the number, but except for a long time to connect the tone, no one answered at all.
It's going to be fine! I'm going to have to cheer up! Putting down the phone, he slapped his cheek vigorously. The eyes that were originally disappointed quickly regained their brilliance.
This time, Li Mo used the fire station as an excuse to return home, but not just for the recording of the phone call. At the same time, there is another plan, a plan to strengthen yourself to get on the road as soon as possible.
There is nothing to be nostalgic about in this home, Li Mo took out a photo album and stuffed it into the backpack behind him, finally glanced at the telephone, and left without hesitation.
Out of the residential building, he quickly walked towards a row of two-story shops facing the street. Among those shops, the fraternity pet hospital in the middle is Li Mo's real goal.
This time, Li Mo wanted to try his luck and see if he could hunt the prey in his memory.
Mutant - a fourth life being that is free from the three types of life: evolution, immunity, corpse, and death.
As for why it was taken out separately, it was because this kind of lifeform was extremely strange and unstable compared to the other three lifeforms.
To put it simply, with the exception of corpse variants, which are basically equivalent to death, the genes are stable regardless of whether they are evolutionary or exempt.
The immunity's genes are not affected by storm electromagnetism, and therefore the gene lock is not activated. And the evolutionary body, although the gene has changed, is a benign change, which is to optimize the sequence of genes.
But unlike these two, mutants have caused mutations in genes for a variety of reasons, and the ugly and popular point is that they are genetically modified.
So, evolution has had little effect on the human appearance. Even if other life forms such as beasts evolve, most of them cause atavism and cause their body to become larger, but they basically do not change their original appearance.
What about mutants? It's a complete mutation. The most striking feature is that the change in appearance can be very large. It's even disgusting, it's infiltrating, it's incredible.
However, compared to the evolutionary, the mutant is also very powerful. Although it is not as perfect and excellent as the evolutionary body on the whole, it is better than it is in some anomalies.
Among humans, mutants are even rarer than congenital evolutionaries. And unlike acquired evolution, ordinary survivors can promote evolutionary bodies through evolution liquid, but it is difficult to achieve mutation through foreign objects.
After the evolution is completed, the evolution can be derived from the crystal, and the mutant can also generate a mutation source in the body.
It's just that compared with the evolutionary fluid, the source of mutation is very unstable, so if you want to use it to promote the mutation of ordinary people, not only the direction of mutation is unpredictable, but also very dangerous, and even has a mortality rate of up to seventy percent.
In addition, due to the mutation of genes, the mutant will no longer have the genetic source power, so in the time and space before Li Mo's rebirth, there would be no ordinary people to choose the path of mutation unless it was a last resort.
However, this does not mean that mutants are useless. On the contrary, it is like a source of mutation for ordinary people, but it has unique benefits for evolutionaries.
Since the genetic sequence of the evolutionary has been optimized, it is completely possible to control the mutation of the gene through the gene source after the use of special mutation sources.
In other words, the evolutionary can transfer some of the special abilities of the mutant to his own body through the source of the mutation, and then perfectly control it within the controllable range through the source force.
In addition, mutants are not only valuable to survivors, but they are also treasures. That's why Li Mo came back here today, for the mutant beast he knew.
