Dragon City is also trembling in the flames of war, although the city has complete fortifications, many capable people, and almost inexhaustible weapons and ammunition and even a large amount of energy and food reserves, but it is a city after all, and it is a huge city from the old era, thousands of capable people are scattered among it, just like sand sprinkled into water, only a few ripples can be seen, but the areas that cannot be protected are the majority, so a few minutes after the start of the war, the entire Dragon City fell into a sea of fire. Sporadic miniature missiles pass through the defensive ring and explode through the city, each of which can easily destroy several old and historic buildings.

The ground trembled, and with the exception of a few heavily guarded areas, there were no intact buildings left in Dragon City. Persephone's private hospital is one of the lucky few, and the surrounding neighborhood is in ruins, but she is only missing a corner from the roof. The wreckage of mechanical insects has been densely covered around the private hospital, and there are burning mechanical insects falling from time to time in the air, although many of them are falling by grazing her, but there are almost no direct hits.

It was already dark in the central room, and although it was underground, the ground shook violently, and from time to time glassware fell on the shelves along the walls, shattering on the ground, and some of the petri dishes were empty, while others were filled with liquid.

Snow squatted in the corner of the table, like an ocelot. It turned its head and stared at the rows of dangling shelves, and when one of the petri dishes shattered on the floor, it immediately propped itself up, looking very nervous.

"Mom...... Mom, the bottle with that thing is broken! Snow actually said in a human voice. It was the voice of a somewhat immature child, a sound that relied on the vibration of the scales on the surface of the body. But listening to her tone, she seemed a little afraid of the bottle.

In the center of the table, Helen was engrossed in staring at the number of jù that shone like snowflakes on the light screen. Hearing Xue's nervous voice, she just raised her head slightly to look at the shelf, and said casually: "It's okay, don't worry about it." ”

Snow was still staring nervously at the liquid on the ground, as if it had a life of its own, squirming rapidly, devouring everything it could touch, whether it was culture fluid, inorganic glass shards, or even metal and plastic floors. Whatever it is, it is broken down and digested in the liquid and converted into a part of the liquid itself. This devouring ability of snow is very familiar, as if seeing oneself in the first ecology. Her ability to devour liquids is no less than that of these liquids, but she doesn't have the same selectivity as she does to devour whatever she encounters.

Snow is a picky eater.

By Helen's side, she has invisibly formed an extraordinary dependence, as if nothing will be difficult to live on Helen, and Snow only needs to be obedient. Therefore, the nearly 100 second-level thinking centers and one third-level thinking center loaded in the head have not been used much at all. In normal times, Snow is already very familiar with Rafi and Curtis to the point where she can play at will, so she forgets the eyes of Raffi and Cortis when she first saw her, as if they had seen a natural enemy. It's like she's staring at the puddle of liquid on the ground right now.

It's not just an ordinary liquid, as long as you give it enough nutrients, it can grow quickly, and at the same time, choose the form that can best adapt to the environment, and then evolve intelligence. As long as wisdom is cultivated, it will not be worse than those wise people in humans, in fact, when Xue first got rid of her instincts, she was still in a petri dish, and at that time she had an IQ of more than 160, still according to the standards of the new era. Then Xue's wisdom developed rapidly, and the thought centers built one by one successfully amplified her wisdom. When the glass was shattered, the puddle of liquid suddenly gained vitality, and I don't know what method Helen used to use an ordinary glass bottle to restrain such a fierce and terrible life. But at that moment, Xue's truest feeling was that she saw her brother.

It's just that unlike the liquid on the ground, every evolution and growth of snow is planned by Helen, and at least so far, the speed of snow power improvement is far faster than normal growth and evolution. Adaptability to the environment does not happen overnight, it takes a lot of trial and error to achieve, and in the process, even super life has a high chance of falling. And this beach on the ground, although fortunately energetic, has lost Helen's interest, and it cannot be taken care of in any way. For some reason, the word illegitimate child suddenly appeared in Xue's consciousness. That's right, the treatment of this beach thing is that of an illegitimate child. But even if it is an illegitimate child, it is by no means uncommon for him to succeed in the history of mankind, so Xue's sense of crisis has not been reduced much, and a strong sense of battle has arisen.

Snow doesn't have much love for her siblings, on the contrary, she has no less hatred than a natural enemy. When she was just a group of cells, she knew very well that she had dozens of siblings, and whoever grew the fastest and best would have a chance to live. Although the result of the competition satisfied Xue, the process was unpleasant. There were times when she was locked up in a petri dish with a dozen siblings. At that time, Xue's instinct prompted her to start constantly attacking the other brothers, and devouring each other as her own nutrients, and the siblings, who also have super life genes, are the best tonic for each other.

However, the bastard then fell into a crisis, and the things it devoured did not help it very much, and the nutrients it absorbed were far less than its own consumption. Sensing this, it began to fall into a berserk state, desperately expanding its body, trying to grab a qiē possible object and devour it. Yet nothing can compensate for its rapid growth. Even the snow could tell that it was too eager to grow, but it was controlled by instinct and did not know it. In the blink of an eye, the liquid began to turn gray and quickly dried up, turning into powder, and began to fly around with the air flow in the real room.

"But...... Mom, doesn't that matter? Snow was always keeping an eye on her brother, and of course she knew what it was up to. Realizing the existential crisis, the bastard chooses to form countless roe deer and scatter to be resurrected once he finds a suitable carrier. It can be transmitted through air, water and contact, but it is more deadly than any virus or bacteria in history. At the level of microcells, it can form a superplague in its own right.

"It's okay, not many people died. Besides, there aren't many people left to die. Helen said without looking up.

However, ...... Xue was still worried, she was also very fond of humans now, and often considered herself a human, so naturally she did not want to see the birth of a catastrophe.

Helen knew what Snow was thinking, and said lightly, "It won't multiply indefinitely." ”

Helen's tone was light, but the snow suddenly shrank into a ball. She knew what Helen meant, the most terrifying thing about a super life like her was the rapid evolution and endless life, of course, most of their life force was consumed in continuous evolution and mutation. However, after listening to Helen's words, Xue suddenly felt a little shuddering, in some invisible corner of his body, is there such a switch, as long as it is turned off, his evolution will come to an end?

As if knowing what Snow was thinking, Helen raised her head rarely, looked at Xue, and said, "You are different, you are my child, so the genetic replication restriction device in your body has been lifted." ”

I'm mom's child...... Xue was first a burst of great happiness, and then her mood sank slightly, wasn't that illegitimate child also Helen's child? Not only do they have the same mother, but they also have the same father. But now, in Helen's understatement, the fate of the illegitimate child was decided.

I was chosen by my mother...... Snow thought.

With a renewed sense of identity, Snow's dependence on Helen weakens slightly, and the sense of crisis suddenly increases. She decided to do something to save Helen's worries, and there was no better topic than the war on the ground.

"Mom, the war above is not over yet, do you want me to help? Or, let's get out of here? Snow asked tentatively.

"There's no need, the war above doesn't matter...... Oh, I mean, it's important to be evaluated, and I probably have more important things to do. As for leaving, of course not, I love this place and won't leave lightly. Until......" Helen raised her head, looked at the empty darkness in front of her, as if thinking of something, and after a moment said softly, "Unless there is a ...... Very special reason. ”

Snow was very smart, so she didn't ask for any particular reason, but leaned down to Helen's side and stared hard at the changing light screen. She was going to work hard to analyze the number and help Helen lighten her burden, and the thinking center in her head was not an ornament. However, when she began to try to keep up with the changing numbers, all the thought centers began to exude high temperatures in an instant, and they all entered an overload state!

"Ahh Snow let out a low cry of sorrow and shook her head vigorously, giving up on the unrealistic idea. She looked at the light screen in amazement, she didn't expect the number above to leak so quickly, you must know that her processing power is now comparable to that of supercomputers in the old era, but she can't even intervene in Helen's research! As a result, Snow adores and respects her mother even more.

Helen put her left hand on the table, and dozens of thin wires were directly on her fingers, and in this way, she actually connected herself to her brain. Now, Helen's brain has become the core processor.

"Mom, what are you studying?" Xue finally couldn't control her curiosity and asked.

"What is the most dangerous enemy of humanity?"

Xue nodded, obediently crouching, but there were still doubts in her heart, wasn't the most dangerous enemy of human beings the boundless machinery outside? Even the snow itself felt a deep fear of their sheer numbers.

“…… Could it be the Apostle and his Legion of Machines? Helen pondered. Behind the mere numbers, countless possible scenarios are calculated and deduced, and finally point to this answer. But Helen's heart was still heavy, and she always felt as if she had neglected something.

She made up her mind and changed the precondition of the deduction to "what is the most dangerous enemy of this planet". But before entering the conditions, a vague intuition made Helen involuntarily feel a chill, and subconsciously wanted to wrap herself tightly. After hesitating for a full second, she made up her mind to start deducing the condition, and changed the target range to 'all'.

Whatever the answer is, let it come...... I'm ready. Helen thought silently.

The derivation seemed painstaking and lengthy, but with the previous number jù as a basis, the new results came out in a matter of minutes. Helen closed her eyes and smiled bitterly.

In order of danger, Sue, the Unknown Apostle, the Spider Emperor, Helen herself, then the Apostle who launched the Mechanical Legion, and then the other children of Snow and Sue.

The number on the light screen stopped rolling, and Helen sat quietly in the darkness, only to sigh wearily after a moment.

"Mom?" The snow chirped softly.

"I'm tired, let me sleep for a while." Helen waved her hand, stood up, and walked to the next room. There was a bed there, and nothing else, which Helen used to rest between studies. It's just that over the years, this bed has been used very rarely.

Helen lay down on the bed, feeling nothing but irresistible fatigue. She lay quietly for a while, then fell into a deep sleep.

Snow was taken aback again, she didn't expect Helen to actually go to sleep. It's still in full swing on the ground! God knows what's going to hit a missile here. Private hospitals are not large, just a miniature missile is enough. Almost half a year into the war, it was a miracle that the private hospital was not destroyed. Xue didn't think that miracles would happen repeatedly, and she didn't have more occult attainments than the eleventh order, so the world wouldn't favor her. Xue knew very well what the battle on the ground had become white-hot, and it stayed here to accompany Helen, in fact, it was preparing to protect Helen with her own body once she was shot. Helen could not withstand the weight of dozens of tons of rubble.

But why did Helen go to sleep at this time?

"What should I do?" The snow spun in circles as fast as it could, its arthropods making long sparks on the ground. She finally made up her mind, crawled to the bed, touched Helen's hand lightly with her mouth, and then reflexively rushed up to the ground along the passage.

As soon as he emerged from the rooftop of a private hospital, Xue saw several miniature missiles flying head-on! The missile grew bigger and bigger in Xue's compound eye, and it also ignited the flames in the depths of her pupils!

Snow flicked his body and floated into the air against common sense, and then flashed away in the air! After a few lines were drawn like lightning, the snow reappeared on the rooftop, stood up high, and roared in an angry challenge at the dense swarm of mechanical insects in the sky like black clouds! Her voice was immature, but it was not as simple as it sounded, and the ultra-high frequency shock wave quickly spread, directly cutting into the communication channel of the mechanical insect swarm, and transmitting her meaning to the big mechanical insect intelligent terminal. As for whether they understand it or not, the snow doesn't care.

She just stood proudly, like a general about to fight alone. A
