[Thank you for the monthly ticket support of "Tianyu Youshen", the family has been busy with the holidays in the past two days, and today I finally have a time code word, Xiexie everyone's support~]

What does the past mean?

For anyone, the past means a trajectory that exists, a label and an affirmation. It is precisely with the past that the present is gathered into the present, and the future can be continued.

But if your past is just a bunch of data, pieces of genetic information, then what is the point of such a past? Just like Zero at this moment, he was confused when he knew that he was actually a clone created by the biological genes of the previous era, and that there was more than one clone of himself.

The reason why a person can work hard, work hard, and persevere. It is because we know that there is only one life, and every minute and every second is precious. But when you know that you are not the only one, but can be replaced, then what is the point of all the efforts and persistence.

When he saw the clone in the photo with the same appearance as himself, Zero's heart was filled with unspeakable pain. He wanted to ruin it all and pretend nothing had happened. But he knew that it was just self-deception. For a moment, he even thought about staying in this base and never going out again until he died of old age.

But Beonlise hugged him, and the woman used her temperature to tell Zero that he wasn't doing it all by himself. Beonrith's words touched Zero's heart even more, she was his beacon, and because of Beonise in his life, Zero also had something called "the past". And except for Beonlis, those familiar faces appeared in front of Zero's eyes one by one.

Su, Kaede, Berrien, Yeliu, Hewei, Agatha, and Leah may have many clones, but he is the only one who has these memories.

He is Zero, he can't change his identity as a clone, but these people, these memories become the affirmation of Zero. Because of their existence, zero is zero!

Suddenly, Zero rejoices that the cataclysm has come. If it weren't for this global catastrophe, I'm afraid Zero would have only woken up as a clone and acted as instructed. In that case, there would be no zero.

"Xiexie, Bessie. I'm fine. Zero said softly as he gently stroked Beonlise's face with his hand, and at the same time decided in his heart that he would leave safely with Beonliz no matter what.

Beonlis's eyes glowed again at the sight of zero, and her heart was happy to know that this man was regaining her strengths. She nodded happily, thought of something again, and suddenly held Zero's face seriously, and kissed him on the lips again.

Passionately entangled.

For a long time, the lips parted. Beonise gasped softly, "Remember my taste, Zero." As long as you remember, you are zero, and nothing else. ”

Zero smiled and said casually, "I'm nothing." ”

After saying that, he realized that Beyonnis was already laughing. After laughing for a moment, Beonlise clutched her stomach and said, "Of course you are not a thing, you are my zero." ”

"Let's go, see what Admiral Iger has to say. Zero squeezed Beonlise's hand and pulled her back towards the podium.

Since you can't change the past, it's time to create the future!

Zero said to himself, looking at the soft water that was held tightly in his hand, Zero decided that he would not let go at any time in the future!

Back in front of the podium, Zero's hand froze in mid-air for about a second before pressing the play button heavily. This action may be nothing to others, but for Zero, it is a kind of absoluteness that makes up his mind to face his past. No matter how unbelievable his "past" is, Zero must face it calmly.

The video continues to play.

Admiral Egger showed a look of regret: "Everything was going smoothly, but unfortunately, what we touched was God's realm after all. On the 13th day of the formation of the gene clones, all the clones suddenly experienced a genetic collapse. Even Dr. Callahan, who is in charge of this Jihua, can't say a single reason, as if there are a lot of delicate data involved. Although the survival rate of clones should have been 90% based on computer simulation. But like God's prank, we just hit the remaining 10%. ”

"What was it like to watch nearly a thousand clones grow into meat foam in the culture tank? Anyway, every time I saw a bacon burger for a week, I felt like throwing up. Failed, very miserable failure. The death of thousands of clones means that tens of billions of funds, including the efforts of all the staff of the base for nearly 100 days and nights, have all been scrapped. Admiral Egger shook his head and said, "Fortunately, one clone survived, and his life characteristics were very stable, as if he had devoured the life force of a thousand other members of his kind, and this clone survived the period of genetic instability with an almost terrifying life force. He survived!"

Zero looked at Beonise with a strange expression, and he pointed to himself, "That can't be me, right?"

"Stupid, who else but you?" Beonise laughed, "Now you are completely relieved, all the clones are dead, and you are the only one who survives." In a sense, you are also unique and irreplaceable. ”

Zero nodded forcefully.

On the screen, Admiral Egger continued, "But when Halson's old bastard found out about this, he insisted through the upper echelons that the surviving clone be sent to their base. It is said that the clone has genes very similar to those of the super biological weapon, so the success rate of transplantation will be very high. That bastard Jihua, I heard that we have lost thousands of the world's best fighters, and now we are going to snatch our only finished product, there is really nothing more bastard than this!"

At this point, Admiral Egger was furious, and he raised his fist and roared more than a few times. But after that, his expression became depressed again, and the admiral smiled bitterly: "But what's the use of talking about this now. Well, let's get down to business. After the clone was taken away, we have no access to know what happened to him. But Dr. Callahan managed to get a little bit of power, and we took some of the blood from the clone to extract the genes that had been stabilized. Dr. Callahan was not ready to give up, and he intended to use the clone's genes as the basis for them, and by isolating and adding the genes of other organisms, he would try to cultivate another biological weapon that could be mass-produced. The boss agreed with him very much, and added research funds. But if I had known what was going to happen, I would have tried to stop Dr. Callahan from continuing his research. ”

"As I said before, the owner of this gene, the life of the Fourth Age, despite having the appearance of a human being. But as an infinitely evolving being, God knows if the appearance of the human being has evolved from some kind of monster. There's no way to verify this, but I'm responsible for telling you, who are watching the video now, that Dr. Callaghan's follow-up research has not cultivated a mass-produced biological weapon, but a completely uncontrollable monster!"

As soon as the screen turned, Admiral Iger interjected into another video. In the picture, it seems to be shijie under some kind of microscope. In this shijie, there is only one peculiar kind of cell. Its shape is constantly changing, sometimes round, sometimes flat. Sometimes it becomes a diamond, triangle, or cuboid. It also grows numerous spikes on the surface of the cells, or turns into a liquid. In just a few seconds, the changes in the cells are almost endless and not repeated.

After a few moments, the cells trembled violently and split in two. Two is divided into four, four becomes eight, and eight becomes infinity. Cells divide almost infinitely, and zuihou densely occupies the screen. What's even more strange is that these divided cells are undergoing different changes, and there is no commonality between them, just like independent objects.

After this image disappeared, Admiral Egger reappeared on the screen: "What you just saw is the isolation of the genes extracted from the blood collected by Dr. Callahan from the clones, and the material obtained by fusing the genes of other creatures. Let's call it the Z-substance, which has only 1,000 sets of memory DNA and only one percent of the total amount of clones, but it has excellent stability and can survive in almost any vector. ”

"Matter Z has two properties, one is based on thousands of sets of memory DNA, which can evolve in response to stimuli in different environments, and the second is nearly infinite splitting, at least according to the means we can currently measure, it can be divided at least a million times. This provides a very reluctant vitality to the carrier of matter Z, and as long as one cell remains, the carrier can regenerate indefinitely. Theoretically, this is a very powerful biological weapon. Imagine a biological weapon that can evolve in response to stimuli in different environments to achieve the purpose of adapting to the environment, and is almost indestructible. If it can be mass-produced, then it is definitely the darling of the battlefield. Admiral Egger sighed, "This is probably the main reason why the higher authorities decided to increase the funding of Dr. Callahan as a jihua, they want an army that they can control and cannot be killed no matter what. Because of this, the number of nearly 1,000 units has been successfully cultivated from the original ten units in less than a month. If they hadn't been cultivated in such a big way, perhaps the tragedy that followed would not have happened. ”

"Yes, tragedy!" Colonel Egger emphasized, "Z matter cannot be compared to the super biological weapons, nor can it match the life of the Fourth Age, not even clones. But that's also the conclusion of the comparison with the pervert above, and compared to ordinary life, it is an existence that firmly occupies the top of the biological chain. For other ordinary life, it is a catastrophe. We were careful to avoid this catastrophe, but it did happen. Now that I'm wondering if they're watching us when we're looking at them outside the tank. Otherwise, how could they seize that opportunity and thus provoke this catastrophe. ”

"That opportunity happened half a year later. ”

Admiral Egger smiled wryly: "Originally, a secret base like white blood cells was naturally refused to be visited. But the problem is that when the prime minister wants to see the results of our research, he naturally has no right to object as a subordinate. On that day, all the staff of the base stopped what they were doing and devoted themselves to this important visit. Among these people was Dr. Kord. ”

There is a photograph of a skinny man. The body under the researcher's coat was so thin that it looked like it would be blown away by a gust of wind, and most importantly, the man's appearance was somewhat similar to that of the researcher who attacked Zero.

During the visit, Dr. Code, who was in charge of biological weapons research, also visited Dr. Callahan's biochemical experiment area. In the process, one of the thousands of units of Z substance somehow quietly leaked out of the culture tank and lurked with Dr. Kode as the carrier. On the third day after the visit, Dr. Kode developed a fever and vomiting. However, at that time, the doctors at the base only treated it as an ordinary viral infection, but it was such an oversight that led to the fact that a week later, Dr. Kod, who had completely fused with the Z substance, finally launched a massacre of the entire base!" Admiral Egger held his head in both hands and said, "It wasn't until Dr. Kod created hundreds of thousands of derivative monsters with the splitting properties of Z matter, that we knew that he was 'parasitized'." And when I called up his medical records afterwards, I learned that Dr. Kode had already shown signs of being parasitized, but we were negligent. By the time thousands of monsters attacked the entire base's researchers, the situation had reached an irreparable level. Based on the hazard detection system set up early in the morning, the main computer of the base activated the emergency defense mechanism. The computer autonomously closed all emergency entrances and exits and sent a distress signal to the outside world, and we had to rely on the main control room to become Zuihou's refuge. Fortunately, this was already in mind when the base was built, so the main control was designed with the concept of a fortress-like building, and regular supplies were also stored on weekdays. We were able to survive in the control room for a while, but rescue was delayed, and the base became a playground for Dr. Kord and his derivatives, and we grew to despair. ”

"Maybe to irritate us, but also to capture us. Dr. Corde, who was already under the influence of Substance Z, showed a cruel and cunning side of his underlying character, deliberately leaking some information to let us know that the base's water recycling unit was still functional. And in the water circulation room, there is also a hidden passage. It was supposed to be a working channel for repairing parts, which could reach the surface directly and was not within the control of the main computer. This is almost the only way for us to survive now, and when we got this information, the people in the control room were divided into two factions. I'm advocating staying in the control room and waiting for help to come at some point. The other faction, however, advocates taking risks and leaving the hellish base. Admiral Egger shook his head and said, "Those poor people, I have tried to dissuade them. This is a simple trap, and even if this passage exists, Kod will not let us go. And these people, who are called the best of the human race, with an average IQ of more than 160, are as stupid as pigs at this time. Of course, I can't blame them, and it's understandable that they are willing to take risks due to the pressure of survival. After the final dissuasion failed, I had to distribute them the few guns and ammunition that were left, while praying that they would leave safely. ”

"But the results were clear, and half an hour after they left the control room, I heard gunfire coming from deep inside the base. Some even tried their best to escape back, only to be torn to pieces by Kode's body on the way. Since then, no one has been willing to take any risks. Dr. Callahan once said that there was some serious defect in substance Z, which was the reason for the delay in applying it to the carrier. But the detailed information is left in the biochemical zone, and it is so dangerous that we can't reach the biochemical zone. Otherwise, perhaps we can find the weakness of the beast of Kod. Admiral Iger said to the camera with great sadness: "To this day, I am sure that there will be no more rescue." All food and water have been exhausted, and in order to survive, my beloved colleagues have been turned into wild beasts. I had to put an end to them in order to preserve the only lowly dignity they had. ”

The camera moves to the side, and what appears in the frame is like hell. Uniforms and people were biting each other on the ground, and the blood left mottled marks on the ground. It's hard to imagine that these beast-like people were once the upper echelons of people with a decent life. But now, they have become corpse-eating demons.

Of course, now they have all turned into corpses.

This is the picture that Admiral Iger left behind the zero two zuihou.
