Chapter Fifty-Eight: Kindness in Heart
"Yu Qi."
Qin Jue nodded, which was regarded as a greeting.
"I'm not really interested in joining the camp."
Yu Qi was about to say something, but at this time, Meng Yan interrupted her, stood up, and pulled out a chair for Qin Jue with a very gentlemanly demeanor.
"In that case, you can stay here for a while, before you decide where you're going." He grabbed Qin Jue's arm and got up, "Take you to see a place." ”
Then he looked up and said hello to everyone, and whispered to Yu Qi, "Take care of it." He pulled Qin Jue and walked out.
The elevator is here on the top floor, but through many rooms there is a side door.
Meng Yan opened the side door, only to see a narrow circular corridor for only one person to walk up and down. After going up, I found that this is a balcony on the large flat floor, and there is a 360-degree glass conservatory on the side.
There are some fruit trees planted in it, and you can actually see a lot of fruit in the greenhouse at this time. It can be seen that this place is well taken care of every day.
Qin Jue couldn't help but think of Yu Qi, and looked at Meng Yan's back, it didn't look like the trivial details that this child-like figure in front of him would pay attention to.
The view from the platform is really good, and this city that never sleeps has the style of a pre-apocalyptic time, with stars and lights everywhere, and it is all night long.
Compared to many of the cities that are now in ruins, it's starting to take shape and is so well kept that it's exciting.
Qin Jue once again doubted his cognition, what is life and what is death.
If they are really dead, if they are really dead, how can they have such a strong motivation to live, and how can everyone have a common desire to build a home again.
"You're very special."
Meng Yan said slowly in the night wind, the winter wind was somewhat awe-inspiring, but he didn't feel it at all. The mutated body was many times stronger than before, and the ordinary cold was no longer enough to make them feel uncomfortable.
"Most people don't have a smooth process after mutating, and we're just like the mutation process when ordinary people have abilities. Although there are no specific statistics, the probability should be about the same. ”
Qin Jue bowed slightly, this is the law that is more in line with logic and the development of normal things. There is no reason for evolution, or that the trend of survival of the fittest is still biased.
"But there are a lot of you. On such a scale, most of the ordinary people who are alive are probably unable to resist at all in the situation of insufficient weapons and equipment. ”
Meng Yan smiled lightly, "Yes." You're right. But you ignore the fact that, apart from the survival of the fittest in nature, man is a spiritual creature with subjective initiative. Especially since we have evolved, we are far more capable than before, and naturally we can do more. ”
Qin Jue was at a loss when he heard this, "What are you doing?" ”
She recalls the first time she saw zombies, they were still slow, soulless and only gnawing at the shell of desire. After a living person is infected, it will mutate within a few hours, and those who do not go well may remain in the zombie stage forever.
Only the body that withstands the pain of constant evolution and mutation can progress into them within a few hours, before the body functions are completely dead and turned into a puddle of carrion.
The zombie that bit her hand showed the ability to control other junior zombies in a very short period of time. Her own mind-control ability may have come from that one.
The probability of mutating into many other abilities varies, depending on the individual's physical condition and the type of DNA that triggered the mutation at the time.
Overall, insect DNA is very intelligent and extremely uncontrollable. It will actively adapt to the environment, select high-quality hosts, and develop and break through the host's own capabilities.
The same goes for zombie monsters, their mutations are more bloody and direct.
It's just that this uncontrollable multi-party development situation will always have checks and balances at a point in time, and then there will inevitably be a trend of one and the other, and in the end, only the winner can survive for thousands of years.
The approximate process Qin Jue figured out.
"Do you know what the population of such a city is?"
Qin Jue shook his head.
"Normally, it can maintain the basic operation of the city, about 300w people."
Qin Jue's eyes widened, this was really amazing in the last days, she knew that Lei Shao's autonomous region might only be tens of thousands of people.
Of course, an autonomous region is no match for a city, but even if many autonomous regions are combined, they are not necessarily comparable to this scale.
In the past, in peacetime, 300w was just a small town.
Then she suddenly thought of the key point of the matter, "So...... You guys...... Actively let those people mutate? ”
Her voice sounded a little shaky, "You guys...... Homicide? ”
After Meng Yan heard this, as if he had heard some big joke, he looked back at Qin Jue and laughed, "Maybe I did think so before." But now there is no need at all. ”
"Zombie monsters are too ferocious, and the living space left for ordinary people has been squeezed to the point where there is not much left. Everyone in the world wants to become stronger, not to mention that mutant crystals are hard to find. People, being able to become strong means being able to survive, who cares if they live or die. It's all a fight. ”
"You know? You don't understand, you've been well protected. If you give it a go, you'll either die or evolve. If you don't fight, you have to keep relying on people to breathe and rely on people to protect you. ”
"At first glance, three million people are a lot, but very few abilities are purely powerful. There are still a few who can go out to fight. Most of them are ordinary people, and they have changed their way of life, their bodies are stronger, and they have some abilities to resist the current changeable extreme environment. ”
Qin Jue stretched out his hand to cover the location of his heart, which was full of vitality and pulsating all the time during his lifetime, pumping fresh blood, and was the most core organ of the entire body.
Now there's a dead silence there, replaced by the core of his ability. It is also pulsating, replacing the function of the heart, but it is more stable, powerful, and contains great energy.
But at this time, she only felt unspeakably sad, most people have no choice to survive in the harsh objective environment.
It wasn't until this moment that she could truly understand why Lei Shao always seemed to be hardworking.
Because being born with such an ability is a kind of luck. But this kind of luck should not just be used for coveting comfort, but can do everything in its power to provide survival options for many people who need it.
As long as...... People like her, a little more is fine.
"It's the first time I've heard a murder so high-sounding. Aren't you taking advantage of others' danger? Qin Jue slowly raised his eyes to look at Meng Yan's back.
With his hands behind his back, Meng Yan's back stiffened, obviously he understood Qin Jue's thoughts. Then, he sighed and turned around and walked in front of Qin Jue.
He was tall, and he lowered his eyes to look carefully at the face of the person in front of him.
Her face was smooth and shiny, and her palm-sized face was covered with flying eyes. The small and erect bridge of the nose, and the corners of the mouth that are always slightly upturned, are somewhat untamable.
As soon as he approached her, there was a faint fragrance of flowers, and the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked, "Why do you think so, why didn't I give them hope and a chance to survive?" ”
Qin Jue stared at his eyes, not finding the slightest trace of remorse.
Some people are like this, when their own strength is strong enough, the deprivation of the will of others can seem to be taken for granted.
She took a step back, "You didn't ask people if they wanted such an opportunity?" People should have their own choices, not choices that are guided by you. ”
"And then? Just watch them being killed by zombie monster hunting? ”
There was a determined light in Qin Jue's eyes, as if she had finally figured out something, and said slowly, "Yes, this is a good question." Moreover, it happens to be a problem that people like you and me can solve together. ”
Meng Yan was obviously stunned, and after thinking about it, he nodded, "Sure enough, the person I fancy is kind. ”
He turned and walked to the edge of the platform again, almost stepping out of the platform.
"I can think about it. If you promise me to stay. ”
