Chapter 264: They're Humans
The slimy green monsters have taken refuge in the archive building in the soil of the trap.
They poked their heads out of the window and looked at the IPO procession.
"Wow Wow~"
The monsters were babbling, and they couldn't make out what they were saying.
Scarlett frowned:
"Are these guys provocative?"
A gray-white flash flashed in Musashino's pupils:
"It's not.
"They have neither fear, nor hostility, nor even ...... A bit of enthusiasm. ”
It's like welcoming guests.
With the help of the Spirit Eye, he can easily see through the emotions and personalities of wasteland creatures.
Reynolds noticed the color flashing in Musashino's pupils.
This guy ......
Actually the exclusive ability of the Immortal Immortal?
He is now more and more curious about Musashino's identity and background.
"Let's go inside."
Reynolds led the group in.
Sure enough, these sticky green monsters did not attack or dodge, but just shrank quietly to the side, as if they had completed the task of leading.
Musashino shrouded this archive building with spiritual power.
Although the strength was suppressed.
But it is more than enough to detect a building.
The archive building has nearly 100 floors in total, of which more than 30 have been submerged into the ground, and there are only a few pieces of glass and plastic inside, and the rest has been corrupted.
After all, it's been on hold for more than 5,000 years.
Musashino proposes:
"Let's go up, there's nothing of value underground."
Since the building has been tilted, the stairs inside are basically vertical and cannot be used.
Fortunately, transcendents don't need their feet to touch the ground when they walk.
"Squeak, squeak, wow—"
Seeing that the IPO team was about to go upstairs, one of the sticky green monsters suddenly ran over, stood in front of the line, and then climbed up.
After two floors, it turned around and beckoned to the group.
Hey?
Musashino stared at it:
"You're showing us the way?"
The sticky green monster nodded vigorously, then spat out some words of unknown meaning again.
"Wait!"
Reynolds suddenly stopped:
"This monster speaks as if it were in human language......
Scarlett's eyes widened: Huh?
How I haven't heard of it.
Although she only knows 12 languages, there are only 28 languages in circulation in the human world today, and although she can't speak them, she can hear them out.
However, it is said that before the world was wasted, the language of human society was very rich.
It is speculated that the total number may be in the thousands.
This sticky green monster has an extremely strange pronunciation.
"No matter how you listen to it, it doesn't speak like a complete system of language."
"Nope."
Reynolds shook his head:
"Because it speaks not a language in the first place, but known languages such as English, Chinese, French, Russian, plus several unknown languages.
"Putting together all the words according to the chaotic grammar."
As he spoke, his eyes flashing with blue light.
Reynolds is a mechanical transcendent with certain computer characteristics.
He was searching the database, trying to decipher the specific meaning of the language of the sticky green monster:
"It seems to be saying......
"Finally, it's here."
"Dean, I want you to know something?"
He could only analyze the approximate meaning.
"Is this dean referring to the former head of the Cleveland Medical Base?"
More than 5,000 years have passed, unless this abbot becomes a true God.
Otherwise, even if it is a 9th-order powerhouse, it will be difficult to survive such a long time without injuries.
Musashino takes a step forward:
"I'll communicate."
He held out his finger.
Ontology Tier 3 Extraordinary Abilities:
Spiritual reading.
He and the spirit of this sticky green monster instantly established a connection.
Although it is only a Tier 3 ability, as you increase your rank, the effect of the transcendent ability you once obtained will also increase.
For example, this ability.
If Musashino is only the 3rd order, then he can probably only read the general idea of the other party.
But now.
He can easily read all of the other person's thoughts, and is completely able to transcend the limitations of language and communicate purely spiritually.
"How were you born?"
Musashino asked.
The sticky green monster paused, and spoke:
"I ...... We're a bunch of failed test subjects. ”
It speaks intermittently.
Although able to communicate, it can be seen that the level of intelligence is not high.
Musashino shared the spirit of its words with everyone, and everyone knew the content of its words.
"What experiment? When was it conducted? ”
The sticky green monster shakes its head:
"I can't remember, but it was an experiment a long, long time ago, when the Cleveland base was in its prime."
Hiss~
Everyone looked at each other.
Cleveland's heyday should have been at least 5,000 years ago!
These aren't very strong sticky green monsters......
Actually from the prehistoric era of the world before it was wastelanded!
Musashino asked:
"You...... Is it a human? ”
The sticky green monster froze.
It seemed that it hadn't heard the word human for a long time, and it was stunned for a while.
Wow –
After a long time, the monster suddenly howled and cried.
It squatted on the ground with its shoulders crossed, and kept nodding: "I...... I seem to be. ”
This sad atmosphere suddenly infected the dozens of sticky green monsters present, and they all cried loudly, as if they had touched the deepest pain in their hearts.
Musashino looked at Reynolds:
"It seems.
"5,000 years ago, people at that time began to use biological means to modify humans by unscrupulous means in order to cope with wasteland."
It is conceivable that the social order of mankind collapsed at that time.
After all, in normal times, science is subject to ethical and moral constraints.
Reynolds didn't think anything.
Because he is more than a thousand years old this year, from birth to growth, he is surrounded by a wasteland world with chaotic rules.
Experimenting on humans......
Isn't that a normal thing?
All the transcendents of the mechanical department can only be promoted by going through all kinds of crazy transformations on themselves.
Why do you say "unscrupulous"?
Of course, he didn't say these irrelevant questions.
Musashino appeases these slimy green people:
"Other than that, what do you remember?"
Wow Wow Wow
They are scribbling and scribbling, and there is no way to communicate on a deeper level.
Ay~
Musashino sighed a little:
Although they used to be humans, under the erosion of the long years, the cranial nerves have long been no longer healthy, and their memories have been greatly damaged.
Their only obsession:
Perhaps it is to lead future generations to know what happened in Cleveland back then.
"Let's go."
Musashino motioned for it to continue leading the way.
The smartest slimy green monster climbed the stairs frantically, and came to a stop around the 70th floor.
It goes back:
"That's it...... Here it is. ”
Here, it seems to be a very spacious storage room.
Reynolds reached out and lit up the place with a flashbang.
"Huh~"
Everyone saw that there were countless metal boxes parked in this room, and the volume seemed to be just enough to hold an ordinary human.
Each box is numbered, from 01 to 099.
Reynolds narrowed his eyes:
"Is there something in here?"
