Chapter 54: The First Arrival
Looking at the dark ruined city in front of him, Chu Huan stood silently for a long time.
When he was a kid, he heard about the City of Ruins and thought, wow! The name is so cool, and then I told Cicada that I must come and see if I have a chance to see if this place looks like it is in the movie...... Dog's breakfast.
Now he stood here by mistake, with no surprise or expectation in his heart, only a sense of powerlessness.
It's not physical weakness, it's a feeling of exhaustion in the heart.
He remembers that Yong'an under the night sky is brightly lit, full of pedestrians and passers-by, even at three or four o'clock in the morning, you can still see restaurants and bathhouses that are open everywhere, and you don't have to worry about what you want to eat, almost every street has roadside stalls, fried noodles, dumplings, skewers, milk tea, all kinds of food and drink.
And it was only before ten o'clock, and there were hardly any pedestrians in the ruined city.
Not only that, but in just a few minutes, several gunshots could be heard in the ruined city.
It's a veritable world of the jungle.
There is no social order, there is no moral code, and there is only one way to live here.
Strong enough.
There is no such thing as luck.
This is not at all the law of survival in human society, but the jungle rule of the animal world.
"Shouldn't you thank me?" The chip in his brain sensed the strangeness of Chu Huan's mood, so he asked out loud.
"Huh?" Chu Huan was a little puzzled, he should be grateful to Xiaoxing, but Xiaoxing asked this for no reason, which made him confused for a while, who didn't know the reason.
"Didn't you notice that you can have night vision?" Little Star says what the problem is.
"I found out a long time ago, I thought it was genetic evolution."
"The human eye is the weakest, and relatively speaking, it is the eye that cannot be changed by genetic evolution."
"It's me...... I changed some of your genetic sequences. ”
Chu Huan was confused: "Can I ask a question?" ”
"You ask."
"What the hell is going on with the human genetic sequence?"
"This......" Xiaoxing seemed to be a little difficult to organize the language: "You have to ask the teacher in the university to tell you, it is estimated that I can give you a lecture for three days and three nights." ”
"There are scientists who have studied it all their lives and have never understood it."
"I'll give you an example, if you modify the rs3801387 A allele gene in your human WNT16 gene, you can make a person's bone cells no longer increase and reproduce, and this person will immediately become weaker than a centenarian even if he is a young man."
"Therefore, knowing the secret of the genetic sequence can kill people invisibly."
"I don't know if you've thought about it, your human medicine believes that eating less meat can lower cholesterol, prevent arteriosclerosis, prevent heart disease, etc., but medicine can't explain why some long-lived people not only smoke and drink but also stay up late."
"Just like some human beings are not only vegetarians, but also strict self-discipline, go to bed early and get up early, not to mention high blood cholesterol and high blood pressure, but are still plagued by obesity, some scientists in order to maintain the face of medicine, all these are attributed to each person's different physique and different genes, think about it the other way, they say this - this is the so-called superstitious explanation, life is different, what is the difference."
"You're saying that the genetic sequence determines everything?" Chu Huan frowned, he felt that it was not bad for him to be a teacher if he couldn't get along, after all, there was a super teacher like Xiaoxing, and there should be no problem that could stump him.
"It's not just about decisions and changes...... Do you know how far the human civilization in which I was before studied the genetic sequence? ”
"The past is the future, and history is always strikingly similar."
"I'll tell you a story, I hope you'll take it as a warning."
"In my time, the government started collecting the blood of every baby from the time they were born, entering their genetic data into a database, and then it was possible to create a genetic virus to eliminate opponents by surname and Y chromosome."
"However, this kind of genetic war traces are too obvious, and they are afraid that their genes will be remembered, so they began to study new directions, such as scientists later began to study whether there is a link between human consciousness and genetic mutations."
"For example, the two of us are enemies, and you have silently recited in your heart ten thousand times that I am sick. Scientists believe that human consciousness can also immediately trigger the infinite reproduction of somatic cells – what you humans call tumors. ”
"Their goal in the medium is to eliminate their opponents, and in the later stage, they touch the theocracy, and as a result, they play themselves to death in the early stage."
"You are now studying genetic mutation, although it is in a different direction, but if you don't get it, human civilization will still collapse, so I prefer mechanical civilization."
"But it's hard to say, in my time, when robots awakened to consciousness, they would become crazy and extreme."
"What about you?" Chu Huan asked rhetorically.
"I'm ......" Little Star seemed to fall into self-evaluation, and after a while he said, "I have countless mes, but they are all empty mes." ”
"You're saying nothing."
"You humans always like to hear what you have to say." Little Star retorted: "Someday you will understand." ”
After speaking, it said a little helplessly: "Let's go, go inside, and ask me to say go to the temple and get the dagger first." ”
"I'm going to see a friend first." Chu Huan hesitated a little: "The matter over there of the little bell needs to be arranged." ”
"Whatever you want." There was not a trace of emotional fluctuation in Xiaoxing's words: "Your life is too short and fragile, and it is just in vain to live a lifetime of poverty." ”
In vain? Chu Huan didn't ask, listening to Xiaoxing's nagging, he walked towards the city of ruins, neither of them had been to the city of ruins at that time, so the two of them, who didn't know anything about the city of ruins, didn't agree on a meeting place at all.
Fortunately, Chu Huan remembered his phone number, but where to find a phone in the middle of the night?
Before he came, Chu Huan felt that the ruined city should not be big, but when he stepped into the city, he knew that he was wrong.
As the only city in the Great Wilderness Continent at present, the slums outside the main city of light are all three stories inside and three layers outside, not to mention the main city that cannot be seen at a glance.
The streets extend in all directions, the houses of varying heights, the occasional barking of dogs, and the drunks everywhere.
This was Chu Huan's first impression of the Ruined City.
"How much do you know about the Ruined City?" Chu Huan asked Little Star.
"No sovereign state, no faith city, number one in the list of violence, there are three major organizations, the Middle East Crusade is known for its bloody brutality, the Patriotic Army is known for its lack of faith, and the Temple of Babel is now occupied by heretics." said these in one breath, Xiaoxing was a little helpless: "I don't know how much it is, unless there is a developed network here, but I don't see it well, let alone the Internet, even the mobile phone signal may not be there." ”
"yes." He really can't understand how people living without the Internet can spend their days in today's advanced technology.
Just then, there was a neat sound of running, followed by several military trucks.
A group of disheveled soldiers, they pointed their guns at the sight of people: "Glory to enlist!" ”
Regardless of whether others agreed or not, the person who was pointed at the gun was herded into the military vehicle, and then when the car was full, it was pulled in the direction of the barracks.
"What should I do?" Xiaoxing asked: "What age is it, and you are still catching strong men." ”
"Let's get out of here first." After Chu Huan finished speaking, he ran towards an alley, but his departure still attracted the attention of others.
"One ran here, and two people went and got him back."
"Stop, run and shoot."
Hearing this, Chu Huan ran faster.
