vs 71 Fear
The huge consumption of ammunition made Tianxiang have to completely dispel the original idea of relying on ancient weapons. After driving away this group of disgusting maggots, he realized that the huge weapons and ammunition in the warehouse were not enough to be used for too long in a state of squandering of strength. If you want to solve the source of weapons once and for all, the only way is to rely on your own manufacturing.
After the maggots retreated, the battlefield was in shambles. Rotten pieces of rotten flesh with this pus flowing everywhere. The suffocating smell was so suffocating that even the thick base gate couldn't stop it. They burrowed into the base from every hole, from all directions, and wreaked havoc in the already unclean air. The hunters were miserable...... Strips of soaked wet cloth are now a must-have for people's hands. Tianxiang was helpless about this. After all, the smell is different from bugs or humanoids, and that's something you can't get rid of. The only way out is to wait, let them slowly dissipate and fade on their own.
A few days ago, Zhan Feng had led dozens of sturdy clansmen to come once. They used wheelbarrows to bring Tianxiang a large number of newly built metal tools, as well as many steel components necessary for the manufacture of giant crossbows and hair stone devices. Similarly, Tianxiang also asked them to bring a large number of ancient weapons and ammunition with them when they left. In his words: "It is extremely unwise to put all the treasures in one chest." This is not Tianxiang's astonishing words, but the words of an unknown ancient. He's just stealing and borrowing it for a while.
In addition, the wind of war also brought a half-sad and half-happy news to Tianxiang. "One of the Wandering Cloud pregnant women in the base, those who had been pregnant but had not given birth or had surgery, had given birth to a humanoid baby. I watched it carefully for a while, and found that it was probably the kind of two-headed monster baby that Su Ya once said. Because, on its shoulders, a large lump of flesh has grown. I suspect this is probably its new head! I didn't bring this baby with you, I guess you'll be interested. "The cage containing the humanoid baby has been placed in the spacious cell. Nowadays, among the many iron cages. It's just such a weak prisoner.
As for the women who stayed in the old base, according to Zhan Feng, most of them have already completed childbearing. This has also led to an impressive increase in the number of people left behind by nearly half. Luckily, the plant tubers are enough to feed them for daily use. "After a while, when they are better recovered, we will escort them over. After all, the space here is much larger than the original one, and the food supply is plentiful. What's more, it's safer here, safer than the old base. β
"Huh! Such a statement sounds really awkward. Zhan Feng smiled: "What a new base, an old base." Didn't you think about giving each of the two bases a name? "Of course I did. On the other side of the library, it's called "Hope". As for this, it's called "glorious", what do you think? β
This is not Tianxiang's nonsense. It's something he's already considered. Naming the two bases with such a codename is really meaningful.
The new life represents hope. Reproduction means that human beings will occupy the eternal glory of the biological world. "Do what you say! It's up to you to decide this kind of thing. By the way, I almost forgot something. There are a lot of newborn babies who don't have names, and I help them get them. As for the surname, you see......"
"It's up to them to choose! There are two choices, one is surnamed Zhao and the other is surnamed Long. β
Hearing this, Zhan Feng was a little puzzled: "Zhao is your surname, but this dragon ......" "Dragon, is the surname of the ethnic group!" Tianxiang replied dryly: "The race cannot be without a whole name. I have carefully checked that this land was once in the Pan-Asian Federation. Those who once worshipped the dragon were the inhabited places of the ancients. It should be a good choice to use this sacred thing as our clan name. β
In this regard, the wind of war is deeply convinced. It's just that he has another thing to discuss with Tianxiang. "I found out. Yours is completely from your brain and it seems like I'm already able to send it out. It's just that the detection distance is not as far as yours, but it is only about half a meter in diameter around the body. Moreover, it is not as exaggerated as you, and it is possible to directly distinguish the specifics of the detected target. All I can do is tell where the object is. To be honest, I don't think this ability is really of much use. Not even as good as the eyes and ears."" Are you talking really? Tianxiang was a little surprised when he heard this.
"Of course it's true."
"Hehe, let me tell you, as long as you can meditate every day and increase your brain strength, I believe it won't be long before you can reach the same level as me. Moreover, you may have found that Tai Chi is actually very helpful for the interaction between mental and physical strength. "The convoy led by the chariot has left. In a few days, they will return to their mission again, which is to move some of the weapons and ammunition stored at the Glorious Base to the Hope Base. Of course, heavy cannons are impossible for them to carry. As for the powerful GaU449 six-barreled machine gun and bullets, they took a lot of them. After all, the safety of the hope base is just as important as the glorious base. Regarding the problem of thinking and feeling that Zhan Feng said, Tianxiang thought that this was normal. Because, in some ancient books, there have been studies and research on such phenomena. Ancient scholars also called it the "sixth sense". They believe that this is a remarkable manifestation of human evolution, just as the original apes learned to use tools, and that it is entirely possible for evolving humans to eventually break through all physical limits and evolve to a state of absolute perfection.
This is not empty talk, nor fantasy, but something quite practical and possible. It's just that Tianxiang doesn't have much interest in studying these things, which are almost equivalent to the unreal. His mind was completely absorbed by the human baby in the iron cage.
According to Su Ya's description, humanoids seem to attach great importance to this two-headed baby. Moreover, when capturing the base, Tianxiang did not find anything unusual in the humanoid corpses. So, does this mean: compared to other ordinary humanoids. How could these two-headed monsters be more intelligent?
For a few days, except for arranging for the clansmen to carry out the necessary work, Tianxiang spent all his time in the dark and dark cell. He even found a chair from the base and sat there intently, paying attention to every movement of the humanoid baby inside the iron cage.
Zhan Feng was right, this was indeed the kind of weird person that Su Ya had described. The bulbous that grew from his right shoulder was quite obvious to the general appearance of his facial features. It's just that they're still shrunk together, tightly closed. It's like a fruit with a crumpled surface. There are a few more tiny and noticeable scars.
In the trough of the cage, according to Tianxiang's intentions, a few pieces of dirty maggot meat had been placed on it. Of course, those humanoid carrions that rot like paste. Some of it was glued to a bit, too. These things are all over the outside of the base. You can pick up a whole bunch of them at your fingertips. Entertaining it with such a "nutritious product" should also be an extremely high "courtesy"! After all, the hunters spent a lot of bullets to get their hands on the damn rotten meat. What's more, according to Su Ya, this kind of weird baby originally likes to feed on carrion. It should be admitted that he loves these foods that humans provide to him. Even, I had a lot of fun.
After three days, the meat ball was already fully standing on the support of the newborn's neck. The opening and closing of the lips and nostrils are also fully open. It's just that the mouth of the new head does not seem to be able to replace the eating of the old head. The intake of external nutrients must also rely on the help of the original organs to obtain them. As for the glasses, on the new skull, it is already possible to open the eyelids slightly. With the help of solar lights, Tianxiang could effortlessly see the earth's eyes rolling back and forth in it.
Su Ya was right, this is simply a strange creature that is extremely similar to humans. That newborn head, at first glance, was not much different from an ordinary human baby. "Don't you say. In such a way, are they going to completely integrate their population with humans? β
This is Tianxiang's idea, and it is also the idea of machine horror. He really didn't dare to imagine that one day, he suddenly found that a friend he saw from time to time, such as Xia Dong, wanted to γγγγγγ One of them turned out to be a humanoid two-headed monster. So, how should you deal with it? Fear, that's for sure. No matter how big the nerves are and how strong the receptivity is, when faced with such a situation, I am afraid that an irrepressible fear and despair will be born. At that time, anyone would have only one choice.
Kill him!
Faced with a non-human, but no different from the appearance of a human at all, the only thing you can do is to kill it. Simple and effective. But the consequences are quite severe.
No, it should be said that it is extremely serious. Even starving to death for lack of food is far less threatening to hunters. Imagine being in a group. A person who knows you well, a person who scoops soup in the same pot with you day and night, suddenly discovers that one day it turns out to be a strange non-human creature. It's easy to kill, but who can you trust after that? Who can you trust?
In the same way, the eyes of friendship and warmth around you will surely be replaced by vigilance, suspicion, and fear. Because with the first example, no one will trust anyone else anymore. An intimate group that once worked closely together has fallen apart. It is impossible for humans to survive alone. Only a cooperative society is the base for stable development and the birth of civilization. Although the laws of survival in the dark world are extremely harsh, the small groups formed by the hunters actually have quite a social rudiment.
The emergence of humanoid monster babies has the potential to completely destroy such a society. And the destroyer himself is not humanoid, it is humanity itself. When suspicion and insecurity are completely over human beings, there will be no trust left. Humans will go mad, they will roar, they will destroy everything they createΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Until only one person left on Earth. This is not alarmist, but absolutely possible.
Thinking of this, Tianxiang himself couldn't help but be shocked into a cold sweat. He really couldn't imagine if one day. When I was with Su Ya**, I suddenly found out that she was actually a mutated humanoid, how would I react......
After all, until now, no one has seen the adult image of these two-headed monster babies. No one knows if they can actually grow into human form. Fortunately, Tianxiang has such a test specimen in his hand that can be used for observation.
However, it was at that moment that Tianxiang discovered it for the first time. The idea that humanoids were created by ancient humans is probably a mistake. Although there have been many scientific madmen in this world, no one is willing to kill all human beings and leave them alone.
There's no fun at all in that kind of world. However, those ancient research documents found in the base. But they unmistakably told Tianxiang that human beings are an extremely important project in the formal ancient genetic engineering.
When cleaning up the base, Xia Dong once found a document with a withered paper. It was a report detailing the pattern of humanoid genetic structure. It claims that the protracted war has led to the death of soldiers in large numbers, so that it is difficult to select suitable combatants among civilians to serve as soldiers. Moreover, it takes too much time to train a civilian to become a qualified soldier, and the physical, endurance, and mental endurance of a new soldier and a veteran are significantly inferior to each other. In order to change this situation, the federal biological research team decided to launch a secret program that had been prepared before the war - the creation of humans. Based on human embryos, some animal genes are added to generate humanoids with animal heads and human bodies in the culture tank. This is what ancient biologists had to use in order to redeem the disadvantages of war.
"Compared to human soldiers. Humanoids are not only powerful, but also agile and agile. Especially when it comes to weapon control, it is entirely possible to instill all relevant instructions into their brains during the development of their larvae. It is they who know the most complex weapon operations. They have no feelings, no morals, no family affection. They are the best weapons of war, and they carry out all orders thoroughly and resolutely. Even if these orders are heard by ordinary people. It's simply unacceptable, it's not enforceable. They will not rebel, and even go back to the orders of their superiors to smash their brothers who were born in the same cultivation tank as themselves. They are not afraid of death, and blood will make them more irritating and impulsive. Moreover, the death of a humanoid soldier does not require the government to pay a penny of a pension at allγγγγγγ This is a passage recorded in the source. It seems that it should be the introduction of the proponents in the initial development of humanoids.
There is also a lot of human-like data on the subpage of the document. Although Tianxiang couldn't fully understand these things, at least, he saw a lot of ingredients in them that belonged to human genes at all. As with all information found in Re-base, this document is incomplete. Relying on these intelligible parts, Tianxiang learned that it was ancient humans who created humanoids, and that they had been thrown into war. Crazy moves like this don't seem to be confined to the Asian federation. The American Federation, the European Union, and even some ancient energy control agencies have secretly developed their own biological and chemical weapons. Corpses, pollutersγγγγγ These weird-sounding things are their masterpieces.
Because, in many places in the document, there has been more data on humanoids compared to these creatures.
Although he didn't know what the mentioned creatures were, Tianxiang knew that they were all like humanoids, and they were all alien creatures that did not belong to the category of humans.
It is precisely because of this document that Tianxiang has previously made the conclusion that humanoids are made by ancient humans. But now it seems that this reason is not sufficient. Even in order to win the war, it would have been impossible for ancient humans to create such an alien body that could completely hide in the crowd, be indistinguishable, and feed on humans. However, the document makes it clear that the origin of the humanoid is stated. This gave Tianxiang an extreme headache. The two very different arguments are quite convincing. So which one is the truth hidden behind humanoids?
A simple word made Tianxiang suddenly free from his hard thinking.
