"Another person who has come out of the virtual world? Although I don't know your specific situation, but looking at your current strength, it is obvious that you are much stronger than those previous wastes, at least when you fused your body, you unlocked a lot of genetic chains, and you can be regarded as surpassing ordinary people, and you can add some combat power to humans. The voice was hoarse, as harsh as scraping glass, and people couldn't help but feel a sense of irritability.

After hearing this sound, Link's body couldn't help but tremble suddenly, his hands instantly crossed in front of his chest, and his body leaned forward slightly, making a posture that seemed to be defensive and attacking. Link couldn't see exactly what the talking creature looked like, whether it was friend or foe, so Link had to be cautious.

"Hehe, you don't have to put on an aggressive posture. In the same way, as a human being, I will not harm you, and in the same way, you must also remember that no matter how much hatred there is, you must not attack other human beings until the human race has won, otherwise you will be hunted down by the entire human race. ”

A thin black figure slowly came out of the darkness, and Link couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he looked at the guy who appeared.

This is a very old-looking old man, whose hair has almost fallen out, leaving only dozens of gray hairs. Wrinkles have almost covered the entire face, hunched back, the whole person is thin and small, like a dried corpse, as if it will die at any moment.

"Huh." The old man lifted his wrinkled face and grinned, the teeth in his mouth completely gone. "I am the caretaker of the virtual world, and the guide of you who are beyond the virtual world, and I have been working here for thousands of years." The old man held out a finger and said to Link with a smile.

"Thousands of years?" Link was about to stare out in surprise, although he had already guessed that the power of the real world was very powerful, but Link never imagined that the real world could have thousands of years of power existence. After all, in the apocalyptic period, even those who can easily destroy a city, they are strong, but they still can't get rid of the imprisonment of life and the destruction of time, and they will still die of old age after a hundred years. turned into a pile of loess.

"Hehe, aren't you surprised. Actually, don't be surprised, since we can resurrect you, then we can naturally create a way to make people immortal. As far as we know, the main reason why the longevity of human beings is only 100 years is because of the lack of physical bodies, and the physical life of human beings is only more than 100 years. But the human soul is different, according to our research. If the human soul is not mortally harmed, it is basically an eternal existence. But the premise of the existence of the soul is to have a physical body. Or some other carrier, otherwise the soul exposed to the real world will soon be assimilated by the whole world, and thus completely disappear, which is about three months. To this end, we have studied the fusion technology of soul and body, coupled with the body cloned from its own DNA, although immortality is not yet attainable, but there is no problem in living for thousands of years. My current body is my thirteenth body, and the clone is good. But after all, it is only a cloned body, and the more times it is cloned, the worse its vitality will be, and the less time it can survive in the world. For example, my current physical body, although it seems to be very old, in fact, this physical body has only existed for 80 years. As for my next physical body, I think it will not survive more than eighty years. The old man slowly moved in front of Link. He looked Link up and down for a moment before he smiled and spoke.

Hearing the old man's words, Link frowned slightly, thinking secretly in his heart. Is this method of immortality that replaces the physical body? But if the fusion technique of soul and body is really solved, this method of immortality can indeed work. After all, with the existence of cloning technology, it is not a problem to have as many of your own flesh as you want. However, the old man also said that because of cloning, the physical body will survive for less time with the increase in the number of cloning. This reduction is about a decade or so at a time. The old man has lived for a thousand years, and his next cloned body will not be more than eighty years old. According to this calculation, the old man is at least three or four hundred years away from his true death. Although compared to eternal life, this time is not long, but compared to the lifespan of ordinary people, it is definitely much better.

It's amazing how human survivors have found such a way to live forever.

But now is not the time for Link to marvel. Because the old man who walked in front of Link had already stretched out his hand and led Link towards the enclosed outer space.

"The area we are in right now is actually on Earth, but below the Earth's kilometers of stratum. There is no way to survive on the surface of the earth, although the 24-hour baking of the sun has not turned the surface of the earth into a magma hell, but it is difficult for humans to withstand the high temperature outside and the sun's rays with very terrifying radiation damage, so humans can only settle underground. However, compared to humans, those beasts and plants have a very terrifying adaptability and evolutionary speed, although there are not many species, there are still many mutated creatures living on the surface. The current earth has become a paradise for mutant creatures, and human beings, who were once the masters of the earth, have been completely abandoned by the earth. ”

As he walked, the old man slowly began to introduce Link to the current global environment.

"So what are we going to do now? It's not about killing those mutated creatures and contributing food and energy to the underground human base. ”

Hearing the old man's words, Link thought of the situation in the apocalyptic times. At that time, the main task of the Human Alliance was to eradicate mutant creatures, one for the future survival of human beings, but for food and energy.

Although those creatures have mutated very terrifyingly, their meat is still edible, and compared to the previous beasts, the meat on these mutated creatures is more nutritious, and even eating too much can improve their physique and generate abilities.

The same mutated cores inside the bodies of mutant creatures are a very precious source of energy, and even the lowest mutant cores contain energy comparable to the energy produced by a nuclear power plant in a year.

Hearing Link's inquiry, the old man shook his head and explained, "No, no, you're wrong, although mutated creatures are very strong in the apocalyptic period, they are nothing compared to the current humans. The mutated creatures of today are actually no different from the domestic animals of the past, the only difference is that humans now use the entire surface of the earth to herd these animals. We want to destroy these mutated creatures, just like humans can do before the end of the world, just like humans can destroy cattle and sheep before the end of the world. The reason why we created this virtual world, collecting all the human souls who died in the apocalyptic times, and selecting the most capable people from among them to join is because of another thing.
