Chapter 146: The Lost City

An old man at the head stretched out his arms and said, "Hello mysterious guests from afar, I am Lua, and welcome you to our lost city, to this city of suffering. ”

Chu Jungui was incredulous at this way of speaking similar to a song. Lin Xi greeted him and said, "We are very willing to know about your history. History means wisdom. ”

"We're happy to open up all the secrets. However, with each passing day, the Children of Hell become stronger, so let me take the liberty of asking, would you like to fight with us against the Children of Hell?"

In fact, the modants and the children of hell have killed quite a few of our brothers and sisters. ”

Lua glanced deeply at Lin Xi, of course, he couldn't see anything from the mirrored helmet. He turned and walked deeper into the hall and said, "Please come with me, our history is displayed in the back." ”

A few people followed Lua through the small door at the back of the hall, and then through a short corridor to a museum-like exhibition hall.

In the central booth, there is actually a model of a spaceship!

Although you can see that it is a backward model at a glance, this is a real spaceship capable of interstellar navigation after all.

"This is the Pioneer Courage, and it's the immigration ship that our ancestors flew on when they arrived here. It was only seriously injured when jumping into the galaxy and could barely hold on until it landed on the planet's surface. The ones on the side are the wreckage of the Pioneer Courage. ”

The next few booths were indeed full of spaceship wreckage. Lin Xi's enthusiasm was immediately extinguished.

Lua led them to the next booth, where there was an old photograph that looked like a group photo of the entire crew of the ship, as well as an electronic photo album.

"This is the entire crew of the Pioneer Courage, a total of 93 people. Thankfully, most of the more than 1,000 cryogenic hibernation pods on board the ship were intact to allow us to survive on this planet. ”

Here are some footage. The crew of the Pioneer Spirit awakened the immigrants in the hibernation pod and survived on the planet. The settlers set up their first bases, explored resources, and gradually ventured into the unknown.

Everything seemed to be going well, but when one day an expedition exceeded the allotted deadline and did not return, the migrants knew they might be in trouble.

Then, as in many movies and episodes, the immigrants from the community are confronted with transformations, and both sides are aware of each other's existence. The modants don't communicate at all, and they immediately start a war.

The original settlers also had abundant supplies and ammunition, and also had a technological advantage over the mods. They managed to repel several attacks by the Trans Army, and even captured one of the Transversion's factories at one point. There, for the first time, they saw the children of hell.

At that time, there were also serious disagreements within the immigrants about what to do with the children of hell. Some advocate immediate destruction, after all, the danger of a creation that is helpless to even modify itself cannot be overestimated. Others find all sorts of reasons to oppose it, but there is really only one real reason, and that is the 'immortal body'.

Although no one knows whether the children of hell can really be immortal, many scientists are well aware that the so-called immortal body is actually the first and crucial step on the road to eternal life.

Tempted by eternal life, the immigrants ignore the great risk and choose to keep the Children of Hell, and try to decipher the system and seize the research materials of the Children of Hell.

However, before they could successfully decipher the system, they were attacked by the sudden appearance of the Reformed army, and they had to retreat after heavy losses, and the Children of Hell returned to the hands of the Reformers.

For the next few hundred years, it was a constant process of see-saw between the new immigrants and the reformed subjects. The large number of casualties caused the population of the immigrants to hover around 10,000 until they split up and went to distant places to explore and build cities, and multiplied, and the population began to grow.

However, the immigrants discovered that there were humans among the reformers, many of whom were slaves, but some of whom were able to live freely. This caused them to wonder about the purpose of the modified, and did not understand what the purpose of the modifier was.

But one thing is certain, the attitude of the reformed subjects towards new immigrants has never changed. The immigrants also don't know how to distinguish between the reformers, and those who have no will fight to the death when they encounter the immigrants, and those who encounter their own side turn a blind eye.

Next, there is a demonstration of a series of reformed crimes. These include biochemical cloning plants, the corpses of new immigrants that need to be run in trucks, piles of mutilated limbs and organs of immigrants, and immigrants who are nailed to pillars and can only die slowly and painfully.

"These mods look like cults. Lin Xi said.

Lua waved his arms vigorously and exclaimed, "They are madmen, machines, and murderers! They have no soul and no mercy, and treat us like butchers to pigs and sheep." On this planet, only one of us is destined to survive!"

After the elder calmed down a little, Lin Xi said, "Is there anything you can tell us about the children of hell?"

Lu Ya hesitated slightly, and discussed with several elders around him for a while in a low voice, and said, "Our ancestors once obtained some information when they occupied the biochemical factory. As a matter of sincerity, we would like to share a part of it with you first. ”

Lua led the group to the other side of the museum, and as the lights dimmed, a hidden screen appeared on the wall and began to play an image.

The film begins with a clear microscope perspective, with cells scattered all over the place. At that moment, a cell burst into view, which was significantly larger than the others, and pounced directly on nearby cells, engulfing it whole!

After engulfing several cells, it divides into a new cell. New cells also began to engulf surrounding cells, and in this way, this vicious cell that could engulf continued to divide, more and more, and in the blink of an eye, only such a cell remained in the field of vision.

When they run out of food, they come together on their own, and then some of them begin to change and evolve into other functions. In this way, in just ten minutes, a multicellular life form appeared in front of everyone.

"Is the film speeding up?"

"Nope. ”

Lua's answer surprised everyone. This means that these cells are hundreds of times faster than normal cells, and they also seem to have a mysterious ability to sense whether there is enough food in their surroundings. Once they don't have enough food, they choose to evolve into higher forms of life.
