Chapter 149: Mutants
When Dawn and his party arrived at the city that never sleeps, it was night; At that time, darkness was like a curtain, slowly descending on this chaotic area; Only the huge brightly lit city in front of it stood in the dark wilderness, exceptionally bright, like a bright star.
The night sky of the Black Wilderness is so full of dust and impurities that even with the vision of a pilot, not a single star is visible.
Because this is the post-apocalyptic age of black iron!
At night, the wilderness is often plunged into darkness; The darkness is as thick as substance, and if a man stands in it, he cannot see his fingers when he stretches out his hand.
Darkness is the eternal theme of the Black Wilderness.
Darkness brings revelry to the beasts, but it brings fear to the humans.
Thousands of years of habit have been postponed, and human beings have become accustomed to the world of light.
Whoever it is, after driving in the darkness from a long distance; Being able to see such a bright city that never sleeps does give people a sense of security in their hearts.
It's just that Chenxi has some strange feelings in her heart. The city that never sleeps is huge, and the energy required to keep it running is already expensive, and if it is wasted day and night, the resources consumed will be huge astronomical.
This kind of operation, Dawn can't see the meaning of it.
Another point is that such a dazzling light is tantamount to provoking all the dangerous creatures in the wilderness, causing unnecessary trouble to oneself and putting the city in danger.
"Marshal Johnny is really Marshal Johnny, and his style has always been so arrogant and domineering!" Hand sighed not far away. He looked in the direction of the city that never sleeps, and there was some yearning and envy in his eyes.
Obviously, in his bones, Hande is also a person who admires the strong and is keen on fame and power.
"Does this kind of light consumption make sense?"
Liu Xing was also a little dumbfounded when he saw the style of the city that never sleeps. Liu Xing is a ninth-level soldier with a thin net worth, and he has been living a simple life in his past life; For Liu Xing, who even had scarce cultivation resources, such extravagance and waste was unimaginable.
"Of course it makes sense!"
Hande disagreed with Liu Xing's words, and immediately retorted: "What do you know? On the day that the city that never sleeps was built, it had attracted countless attacks from wild beasts, and the situation was extremely critical. At that time, Marshal Johnny single-handedly led some stragglers to kill thousands of strange beasts, causing rivers of blood and mountains of corpses around the city that never sleeps.
Since then, the city that never sleeps has been attacked several times, and it can be described as a heavy weather, but it has always stood tall. The strange beasts are frightened and dare not invade easily.
In a situation where humanity as a whole is in a weak position, Marshal Johnny's toughness can be described as a sharp knife, inserted into the herd of alien beasts. He is the mainstay of human existence.
Moreover, every once in a while, Marshal Johnny would lead his generals to hunt in the depths of the wilderness, and every time they took advantage of the excitement and returned with great success.
These burning energy and resources were all snatched by Marshal Johnny from the hands of the alien beasts, and he has the absolute right to waste extravagantly.
It is precisely because of the existence of the city that never sleeps that it has attracted the attention of most of the wild beasts and withstood the greatest pressure of the black wilderness, which has reduced the pressure on the people in the rest of the region.
In the Black Wilderness, if there is no Marshal Johnny's city that never sleeps, then alien beasts will be even more rampant, and the survival of human beings will be even more difficult! ”
……
Dawn listened to Hand's words, and her understanding of this city that never sleeps has also changed a little.
Dawn is a child born in the Black Wilderness, who encountered ups and downs in his childhood, and lived with the girl who was snatched by the god of fire.
At that time, Dawn had faced the bitter suffering of the world after the apocalypse, and knew how miserable life in the Black Wilderness was.
The weak who live in the wilderness not only have to face attacks from mobs and outcasts of their own kind, but also have to worry about beware of the terrible dark races and the ubiquitous beasts of the wilderness......
Many times, Dawn has been in mortal danger. If it weren't for the two-dimensional stealing talent; If it weren't for the girl's help and treatment after repeated serious injuries, the morning light would have already fallen with the wind.
After death, it will be like dust in the wilderness, scattered into mud, and no one will ask for it.
Many midnight dreams come back, and Dawn can still remember the terrible experiences before the age of seven or eight; Although the scars on his body had disappeared without a trace as early as the first time he soaked in the nutrition pod, he still clearly retained those moments of life and death in his memory.
If his luck had been a little worse at that time, he would have been completely torn to pieces by the rampaging beast.
If he had encountered even one more beast, his thread of fate would have come to an abrupt end and would no longer exist.
Then, there is no place for him to stand under this city that never sleeps today.
Or, Marshal Johnny's presence has nothing to do with Dawn's survival; But there is also a possibility that if it weren't for Marshal Johnny's city that never sleeps, it would have been more dense than the beasts scattered in the wilderness; And as long as he encounters an extra beast in Chenxi's young life, he has been dead for more than ten years.
Perhaps, it is precisely because this morning light is the first time that it has heard and witnessed the existence of the city that never sleeps; Chenxi was fortunate to meet Long Qiansu and Luo Luo, so that the trajectory of fate had a ninety-degree turn, entered the Iron and Steel Academy, and entered the army......
Until, back to the Black Wilderness again, and finally standing under the walls of the city that never sleeps. And, soon, his fate will have a real connection with the owner of the city that never sleeps, and it will no longer be the illusory uncertainty of the past.
Thinking like this, Dawn also had a trace of respect for the owner of this city that never sleeps.
……
Entering the city that never sleeps is not an easy task, and as the central focus of the attention of all beasts, the defense of the city itself has also been fully prepared. After nearly a hundred years of eliteism, the city has become impregnable and unshakable.
If you want to enter the city, you must also pass a series of corresponding security inspection measures; Generally speaking, it is difficult to enter unless you have a token inside the city in hand.
Fortunately, with Hande leading the way, the seven of them were able to enter the city that never sleeps.
At this time, Dawn learned that Hand had also followed Marshal Johnny decades ago to help defend the city that never sleeps.
Later, Hande left Marshal Johnny and set up his own portal and established the Dragon Snake City. But because of the relationship in the past, Hande naturally has the qualifications to enter the city that never sleeps.
The interior decoration of the city that never sleeps is more luxurious than the outside, with jewels and brilliance, and everyone's eyes are a little dazzled.
After entering the city that never sleeps, at both ends of the long street, there are high-end places that can be seen everywhere, the decoration on the outside is already like a fairy palace, and the prosperity on the inside can be imagined.
When Dawn and his party walked to a high-end entertainment club, there was a sudden commotion in their ears, and two guards with very thick arms carried a drunken man and threw him into the street.
"A.T. Kearney, remember to have long eyes next time. What a noble man is that a pariah like you can offend......"
Shouting and swearing, the two guards punched and kicked the drunken A.T. Kearn; Then he dug out a purse and spat heavily on him a few times before walking away.
From beginning to end, the two guards didn't even look at the Seven of Dawn. There was an endless stream of pedestrians on the road, but when they saw this scene, they all looked as usual, as if they hadn't seen it.
Dawn couldn't help but glance at the drunk man on the ground. The drunk man lay on the ground, in a semi-unconscious state. The strength of the drunk man is about the level of a one-star general, and he is also a person with considerable status and status on the Sealand Continent, but now he is thrown on the street like a dead dog, and he is beaten and scolded.
However, Dawn focused on the position of the drunkard's tail vertebrae.
The shirt seemed to be torn in the struggle, revealing a furry tail about a meter long with golden hair!
It is very unremarkable that a tail has grown on a person's body. If it had been placed in the old days, it would have caused a sensation. But the passers-by of the city that never sleeps were not surprised at all when they saw that tail, as if they were accustomed to it.
"This is the Longtail Clan," Hande noticed Dawn's gaze and explained in a low voice, "Those two guards just now are from the Spirit Arm Clan. They are all mutant humans endemic to the Black Wilderness. On the Sealand continent, they are not accepted by humans, but in Marshal Johnny's city that never sleeps, as long as they follow the rules, they will be treated equally. ”
Dawn nodded silently, he recalled that the arm length of the two guards just now was indeed beyond the normal human proportions, and the hands were almost knee-high.
Dawn is not the first time he's seen mutant humans, he has lived in the Black Wilderness for many years, and has seen many humans who have mutated their bodies due to the Doomsday Virus, so much so that they look strange.
Some of them are internal organ mutations, some are tissue hyperplasia outside the body, or simply have some extra body parts, or some normal part of the body is missing.
There are good and bad mutations, some mutations will bring special abilities and conveniences, and some mutations will be like malignant tumors in the old era, killing people.
There are also some mutations that are neither good nor bad, but simply the shape of the body changes, and there will be no functional changes.
For better or worse, these people are collectively referred to as mutants. Even the so-called dark races such as werewolves, blood clans, and corpses are all human beings who have been infected with the doomsday virus and mutated at the root.
It's just that after thousands of years of mutation and evolution, they have formed a fixed pattern of racial reproduction, and they have been separated from the large human race; And because of the opposition of nature, human beings have become the prey of the dark race.
This has also led to the dark race becoming the enemy of life and death of mankind, and even many mutants are not accepted by the mainstream human society.
The city that never sleeps allows mutants and pure-bloods to live alongside each other is truly astonishing.
After all, mutants have been infected with the Doomsday Virus and hide extreme instability in itself. If it breaks out one day, it can even form a small-scale disaster.
Dawn and Hande walked all the way, and what they saw along the way was dizzying. In addition to the original Longtail and Spirit Arm people, Dawn also saw a winged man with two wings on his back and two horns on his head......
All kinds of beautiful women, all kinds of ugly and demonic beings, and young men and women with pointed ears like elves......
Seeing these strange races, Chenxi was only slightly surprised in her heart, but she didn't have too many fluctuations. After all, he had already been in contact with werewolves that could transform, almost immortal corpses, and many strange beasts, and his psychological quality had already far surpassed that of ordinary people, so he naturally would not be moved by these mutants.
However, after passing a corner, Dawn's face changed suddenly.
