Minnie, who had been transformed, was left in the settlement.
It's just that when the team set off, she couldn't wake up.
Because the modification of the last part of her body had exceeded the limit of what her body could bear, Raymond had to seal off the area where she was, keeping her in a safe environment to wait for various changes in her body. adapted to it.
But when she wakes up, Raymond believes that her strength will be quite terrifying compared to the current combat power in the settlement, and the settlement will also undergo great changes.
However, Old Pierre and the maid Ava didn't say anything about the transformation of Minnie after learning about it. However, Noel, who is introverted but stubborn, was quite critical. It seemed that he didn't care about the transformation itself. be acceptable to him.
Only the caveman Matt expressed his sincere gratitude to Raymond and Nina after learning about it. It seemed that this act of helping the natives of these settlements was very welcomed by the caveman alliance.
However, his subsequent request to teach the transformation method was flatly rejected by Nina.
Because in Nina's view, any transformation of the living thing itself goes against the laws of its survival and development. Especially for the aborigines of the Three-Eyed Tribe, this method allows them to continue to transform themselves. Development will lead to many unpredictable changes.
Matt, who was weak but belonged to the Caveman Alliance, did not express his position at the time, but he did not give up.
Because of Minnie, the relationship between Raymond and Nina became closer, so Raymond asked Nina why she was unwilling to make these technologies public.
"Mitheus, before I didn't know what kind of research I was doing, so I concentrated on research to get a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. But when I knew what I was doing, I just couldn't do this kind of research. What remains is deep hatred..."
When Nina said this, her expression was filled with deep sadness, and she paused for a long time before continuing. "Originally, I thought that I belonged to a non-combatant organization, so I was clean and pure. But when the tragedy of that incident almost made me collapse, I knew that even though I had killed those butcher-like sergeants, Kill. But in fact, I have been soaked in the blood of innocent creatures, and the guilt and guilt in my heart prevent me from being released. This is the real reason why I took a vacation and appeared here..."
Nina's narration made Raymond feel her kindness, and also felt that these Sith tribes who were born in the furnace of the saints and had been brainwashed were not inherently evil and irredeemable groups.
I believe that among all the non-commissioned officers in the areas established by the ‘Holy Lord’, there will not be many individuals like Nina. Otherwise, given the abilities of the 'Holy Lord', there is no reason why the Three-Eyed Tribe living outside the area can still have a place to live and the possibility of continued survival.
However, the turmoil caused by Minnie's transformation continued to ferment in the following ten days.
Matt, who was stationed in the settlement as a member of the Caveman Alliance, actually didn't mind Nina's previous attitude. Whenever he took a break, he would talk about the difficulty of survival of the three-eyed people outside the area, the reasons for the slow improvement of strength, and the lack of resources. Serious problems caused by scarcity, as well as many phenomena caused by it. Nina couldn't help but gradually develop a sense of compassion, hesitation and entanglement, and even a faint wavering.
And I don’t know if Matt did it on purpose or not. After everyone saw the defense system of a settlement that had been breached by the 'Polluter' not long ago, it was completely destroyed. The corpse, covered with dried blood and torn into pieces, finally made Nina, who got into Raymond's tent during the camping trip, cry bitterly. "Methius, what should I do?"
Caressing the trembling Nina in his arms, Raymond thought for a long time before speaking. "Biological transformation is a technology unique to the Saint race. Its development is close to perfection. Any transformation of three-eyed people will be able to see results soon. However, if this technology is spread on a large scale, the consequences will be Have you thought about it?"
"There are polluters outside the zone. They are actually individuals that have failed to be transformed by the saints. If the Caveman Alliance cannot resist their attack in the end, all the Three-Eyed tribesmen living outside the zone will be exterminated... "
"Polluters are individuals whose transformation has failed. But who can guarantee that today's biological transformation technology will not cause large-scale disasters? What kind of existence is the Holy Lord, and how does it have such power... "
But before Raymond could finish what he said, Nina, who broke free from Raymond's arms, shouted in fear. "Metheus! The Holy Lord cannot be talked about! It is a great and wise existence. There is no words to describe it. You can't do this!"
Not expecting Nina's reaction to be so strong, Raymond smiled and said. "Well, let's not talk about the Holy Lord for the time being. Let's go back to the original topic. Then there is a fundamental question. Can the Three-Eyed Tribe become powerful only by transforming themselves?"
"Probably...no?"
"If not, then hand over the technology you have to them, and the Caveman Alliance will continue to conduct in-depth research. Do you think that would go against your original intention?"
After hearing this, Nina finally understood what Raymond meant. She was stunned for a long time, and then she spoke in surprise. "Methius, are you saying that if the Caveman Alliance masters such biological modification technology, more Three-Eyed tribesmen will be used as experimental subjects?"
"Could it be that without using the Three-Eyed Tribe to conduct experiments, relevant research can continue to be carried out, and a more optimized improvement method can be obtained?"
Raymond's rhetorical question made Nina's face change drastically. She seemed to remember the scene she had faced before, biting her lower lip and shaking her head firmly.
After getting back on the road, I don’t know how Nina communicated with the caveman Matt, but Matt, who looked regretful at first, stopped mentioning it after two days, and speeded up. If there is any directional deflection, it is obviously preparing to lead everyone straight to the location of the blue abyss.
Old Pierre, who had never expressed his opinion on the path selection before, summoned Raymond and others together while camping two days after Matt chose to remain silent.
"Regarding the matter of biological modification, I believe Nina has made the most correct choice. I have not expressed any opinions before. I just hope that she can make such a decision on her own..."
Nina was a little confused when she heard this. "It's not that I figured it out myself, but I figured it out after Michus reminded me. Did you have certain considerations when you hired me before?"
The kind-hearted old Pierre had a look on his face, and he spoke as if he was extremely pleased. "Yes, there are very few researchers in any area. Although most non-combat personnel will enter the commercial area for vacation after they have the 'priority', I learned about your situation through the Archon. That’s why I keep you in the business district at all costs, just to have the opportunity to take you away with me..."
Nina was very moved after hearing this, but Raymond, who had been thinking about it for a while, still spoke. "If you don't get a chance to leave, will that destroy Nina before her body breaks down?"
Nina, who was nestled in Raymond's arms, was suddenly startled, and even Noel's eyes widened.
But Old Pierre, whose smile became more and more obvious, nodded. "Yes, if I cannot gather the right people to escape from Area 31, then not only Nina, but all the researchers recorded by me will also be assassinated in their residences. What I have The wealth will make all the researchers in District 31 disappear!”
Nina immediately became nervous when she heard this, while Noel, who was sitting not far away, had the luster of a force field surging on her body.
But Raymond, who had already guessed, patted the back of Nina's hand to signal her to relax... (To be continued ~^~)
