Chapter 161 Chapter 507 The Origin of the Apostles, the Northern and Southern City-States

Chapter 161 Chapter 5.07 The Origin of the Apostles, North and South City-States

Apostles are the highest-level node creatures born on earth after the arrival of the Pandora era.

They are the core organisms that are ultimately formed after the genes of all biological communities in a large ecological area converge! This is an inevitable product of the natural development of Pandora Field's ecology.

However, the birth of most of the apostles on earth is inseparable from the final madness of mankind at the end of the world!

On the timeline opened up by Luo Hongxing's team, the travelers collected a large amount of information in this plane. There was once a small team that arrived in the Great Lakes region of North America, where they determined that the apostle "Billion Eyes" existed in the Great Lakes region.

This apostle is very strange, similar to the mirage hyphae in the Meicang River Basin, and it is difficult to see the existence of its central body.

Every creature that enters this area will have an extra strange eye like a tumor. A deer running on the ground will have such an eye on its neck, a bird flying in the sky may have an eye on its belly, and there may even be eyes somewhere on some trees.

These eyes are all observational, but where does the collected information end up?

Based on measurements of genetic radiation, it appears to be in the center of the Great Lakes. The strange thing about this center is that there are a lot of stranded ships.

On one of the timelines dedicated to adventure.

Sun Luoxi Zhongqing (female) led the team to arrive here and discovered the laboratory under the mud. In the laboratory, some living brain tissue was found. This may be part of the brain tissue that was accidentally metabolized when "Billion Eyes" moved its body.

When Sun Luoxi discovered this brain tissue, he was parasitized on the spot. The life radiation of this thing is very strong, and it will take away the body immediately after being parasitized.

Sun Luoxi withdrew from the area before she was completely infected, lay down in the life-support capsule, and was in a coma for forty days. The system directly connected with the life radiation effect of "Human Emperor" from Pandora's space bubble and pulled her back. After she woke up, she immediately described the memories she had gained during the fusion.

The predecessor of the "Billion Eyes" of the Great Lakes was a human being, a human doctor from North America. Let’s call him “Dr. Strange.”

Sun Luoxi: "The memory is very vague, but very clear. Dr. Qi went into some laboratories with biochemical symbols and made some exciting discoveries. He has declared righteously many times in public that human technology can resist the Pandora Field. The refraction effect of life. This doctor seems to have been hailed as a scientific beacon by the mainstream media and serves as the chief health officer, but...

His memory shows that he maintained quite close contacts with some powerful oligarchs in private. This kind of connection is different from his announcement to the outside world of "leading the world to fight against xx", but an excited explanation of some discoveries! "

[HeLa Project: In January 1951, scientists collected cervical cancer cell lines from a woman. Then, within decades, this cell line divided indefinitely as experiments required in laboratories around the world, becoming immortal. 】

eternal life!

When human civilization discovered that Pandora Field could not be solved.

At the top of human society, the giants who control the Internet, energy, and food began to consider changing their form to survive in the apocalypse.

Lifespan is developed when life needs to evolve iteratively. When iterative evolution stabilizes on a certain route, the lifespan of species will gradually be extended. However, higher life forms in the Earth system still have lifespan limits.

Early life, in the early stages of evolution, was very arbitrary about life span. The most primitive coral polyps could live for thousands of years.

In an earlier period, when the earth had not yet oxidized and was covered with a thick carpet of bacteria, carbon-based life was - immortal.

The Pandora Field allows the nerve cells of higher organisms such as humans to be reflected into lower organisms, resulting in a fusion that makes all human beings uneasy.

But Dr. Qi also discovered in the petri dish that human lifespan can obtain the benefits of unrestricted lower life: cell telomeres are greatly extended, and physical immortality is no longer a problem, as long as a way to preserve thinking and consciousness can be found.

…

…

…

The reading of memory is interrupted here.

However, with in-depth investigation on multiple timelines, underground laboratories were discovered in North America, South America, the Indian subcontinent, Africa, and Southern Europe, and in the relevant locations mentioned in these memories. All laboratories also "happen" to be the areas occupied by the apostles.

In the final stage of human civilization, those at the top of society who occupied resources and were freer than all living beings also started the final madness.

Perhaps, they may have needed this answer all along. ——The so-called belief that the earth’s resources are consumed too much and the population needs to be reduced to restore balance to the earth! The group of "gong" people who proposed such a "reduction plan" certainly do not want to reduce themselves, but to reduce others.

When humanity is on the verge of destruction and needs to survive, the designated survival plan is for a few elites to take enough girls, well, maybe a few boys, to get on the ark.

Some people feel that as long as they survive, they can represent humanity's survival. ——Because, I am a "voter".

Wei Keng (Zhen Xinzheng), who was leaning on the mechanical beast, after reading Bai Linglu's information, took a breath and said: "In other words, some of the thinking of the previous generation's civilization still survives in the individual apostles. ”

Dimensional space bubble

Bai Linglu: "Yes, so there is also a power struggle between them."

Bai Linglu waved his hand and summoned the interface, further describing the various scenarios of the end of the world for Mr. Wei.

Scene: On the vast South American plateau, bare sticks one to two hundred meters high stand on top. There are water stains on the top of the tower, and green lines flow on the sticks.

This is a giant tower built by giant termite-like creatures. Groundwater is extracted to irrigate the green tower body. After the algae on the tower body expands, it is carried into the caves of the tower by the termites, forming the flowing lines on the giant tower.

This tower group was built by the South American Tallin Nest Master (Apostle).

In the seventeenth stage of the expedition, the exploration team of our own civilization arrived here. They looked up at the tower group and had a very brief exchange with the apostle as space-time explorers.

The apostle's suspected human mind responded to the inquiries of time and space explorers: Its arrival (Pandora's Field) did not eliminate anything, on the contrary, it added a lot.

After Wei Keng heard this apostle's answer, he was stunned and thought for the first time: "What has been added?"

But in an instant, it suddenly dawned on me that this was not an increase in "people like myself", but from the perspective of "those people". And does the increase in the perspective of "those people" have anything to do with me?

Wei Keng smiled and whispered: "What does the dream created by 996 have to do with the people who participated in 996?" (sarcasm)

Just as the space bubbled up, Bai Linglu paused, opened her mouth, and wanted to explain:

"What I mean is that I want you to understand, as an apostle-level existence, your position in this world." This final introductory sentence was silenced by Bai Linglu.

But suddenly, Bai Linglu felt a "not bad" feeling in his heart. She felt that if Wei Keng understood it like this, the entire Pandora world might have more interesting, um, different results.

…

For two weeks, nothing happened.

At least for Wei Keng (Zhen Xin Zheng), there is nothing else to do but study.

So nothing extra was done.

Supplement: Wei Keng in the Kongtuan plane also has this virtue.

But on this planet, in the eastern ocean area, the coral and sulfur-iron communities in the seawater are competing with each other.

On the other hand, there was no "Zhen Xin Zheng" name in the outing team organized by the Jianye Institute of Southern Studies.

August 23, 145, six o'clock in the morning. While Wei Keng was still dazed in bed, he planned to continue recharging his energy until the alarm was set at 7:30.

The team organized by the college has already set off towards the rising sun.

At nine o'clock in the morning, under the Purple Mountain Observatory, Dean Wang Lexi looked at the outstanding students selected this time and was quite proud. Next is the team waiting for the visitors from the north.

Ye is built in the south and Wuse is built in the north.

This is the era of Pandora, the two largest human city-state groups in the eastern part of the World Island.

The fact that most of the industry, population, and science and technology centers in Jianye are combined in one super-large central city is due to its special historical and geographical factors.

The Five Color Alliance in the north was formed by five industrial cities 160 years ago. These five industrial cities are all connected through the waterway network in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River.

Historically, when Jianye City in the south began to use the protective effect of human communities.

The northern garrison also began organizational integration, completing production restoration in five cities, and then radiating influence to the North China Plain.

However, due to the limitation of river traffic, this has caused the development of the five northern cities to be more even. And when the human forces in the south and the north went their separate ways, the Five Color Alliance still occupied the orthodox elements for a long time! In other words, the legal elements of the previous regime have been inherited.

However, this orthodoxy and accompanying arrogance are gradually dissolving.

With the development of Jianye City, the Five Color Alliance's defense line at Yanjing was consumed by a large amount of resources and most of its energy was consumed by the uncontainable genetic community in the Bohai area.

In the past few decades, the Five Colors Alliance has been on an equal footing with Jianye.

The exchange of young people between the two sides, which takes place every four years, has gradually shifted from sending people from the south to the north, to sending people to each other in turn.

This time it happened to be the turn of the people from the Northern Five Colors Alliance to send an exchange team towards Jianye.

…

On the side of the Five Color Alliance,

The team of two hundred and twenty-five people, combined with a large number of mechanical beasts, passed through the harassment of a large number of genetic communities in the Huai River area along the way, and finally traveled to the southern civilization zone.

This group of nobles in the north are now dusty.

Just like in the 21st century, no matter what kind of clothes you wear, they will get dirty if you sit on a tractor.

This is not a comic show, dusty is the norm.

But even though the dust is flying,

It is also difficult to conceal the youthful aura of these young master trainers.

Teenagers and junior high school students do not need any cosmetics, their skin is natural and transparent. The trainers who have achieved symbiosis with the mechanical beasts are even more vital.

Chen Hefen, the northern king-level trainer, is a man who looks only thirty, but is actually forty-five years old. When he met with Wang Lexi, the Southern Mentor representative, the two unfurled the flag together and completed the photo shoot in front of the spotlight.

Although the two major groups, the North and the South, are secretly competing with each other, they must still smile and maintain various connections. Just like the relationship between the EU, Britain and France before the Great Disruption.

However, the younger generation does not have this awareness.

As the team leader, the first thing Qiu Mengfei saw was the team leader from the north, a tall girl. There was some black smoke from the steam train stuck to her face, but the slight dirt did not affect her natural beauty at all.

And when he looked at her, she looked at him.

The girl seemed to think this was a challenge and looked at him fearlessly. This added a confident and fiery temperament to her already beautiful appearance.

(If Wei Keng were here, he would interpret the expression in the eyes of this northern girl as: What are you looking at? - And no matter how beautiful the girl is, once Mr. Wei conjures up the Northeastern dialect like this, then... )

Qiu Mengfei was stunned for a moment at this sharp gaze, and then smiled.

…

The reaction of the young people when they first met was naturally in the eyes of the team leader.

Wang Lexi looked at these enthusiastic young people with a smile on her lips and couldn't help but said: "It's really good to be young."

Chen Hefen: "Yes, they are the future."

A few dozen kilometers away to the south,

Wei Keng got up and came to school every day to look for his tutor. But I saw a sign saying "Closed Today" was hung on the door of the teaching hall.

Wei Keng patted his forehead and said, "Well, I should have known."

Exchange scholars from the north are coming, which is a big event.

If it is an organization with clear division of labor among departments, no matter how big the external events are, they will not affect other departments.

For example, this was the case with the Unification Army. When the Battle of Southern Gansu began, full power was handed over to the military logistics department that assigned tasks. The operations of other Zhanjiang areas, Zhuhai-Xinjiang areas, and various railway stations have not been affected. "Zhen Xin Zheng", who was staying in the north to study, did not put down his study tasks just because the fighting in the southern Gansu war zone was in full swing, and went south with a semi-finished mechanical beast to support him.

But Jianye College is not like this.

Technical exchanges between the North and the South have affected people in various departments. No, the instructor responsible for answering his questions has closed the door. Obviously, rather than answering the requests for advice from non-elite disciples, he needs to prepare his energy and pay attention to the elite disciples from the north. It would be more meaningful for them to understand the gap between the two sides.

After Wei Keng wandered around the school building three times, he reluctantly withdrew.

Bai Linglu just popped up and "solved" Wei Keng who had been rejected: "Actually, they didn't talk about anything in the north. They just discussed capturing the weakened apostle - Tianshu Long. If you think I won’t give you face here, otherwise we will lead the fleet north and directly destroy the East China Sea continental shelf biome!”

Wei Keng glanced at Bai Linglu: "This is a good idea, it can help you regain face. But, you know me, I will never work hard for the sake of face."

Bai Linglu: "Ha, ha, oh, that's it. I just made a suggestion, as long as you don't mind."

…

Facing reality, Wei Keng is fearless. So reality quickly taught the thick-skinned Mr. Wei Keng another lesson.

Being mediocre means being marginalized. Especially, when some of the more dazzling centers emerge.

In the afternoon, Wei Keng was pulled up by the student union to meet the exchange students from the north (as a foil). At the exchange meeting, Wei Keng was bored at this time, and then he checked the two plot characters that the system repeatedly emphasized.

Qiu Mengfei, Su Lingshuang.

After Wei Keng saw their plots in other timelines, he said "hmm", became temporarily interested, and decided to say hello to them.

So I squeezed in, preparing to say a few omens to Qiu Mengfei, "Beware of the backlash of the Heavenly Killing Dragon in the future."

As soon as he said "Senior", Qiu Mengfei politely stopped and said, "Junior, I have a lot of things going on here today." Then he said goodbye to Wei Keng.

Simply rejecting people thousands of miles away caused Wei Keng to return from high spirits to social phobia.

Mr. Wei left in embarrassment.

…

Of course, what Mr. Wei didn't know was that Su Lingshuang happened to see his sudden whim, and under Su Lingshuang's glance, Wei Keng left Qiu Mengfei in disbelief.

When Qiu Mengfei stood with Su Lingshuang again.

Su Lingshuang said leisurely: "There are many flatterers around you."

Qiu Mengfei paused and said, "Not really, that's a new classmate. He wants to ask me something, but he's too busy today."

…

Before returning to his dormitory.

Wei Keng (Zhen Xinzheng) stretched out his hand, took a piece of grass hanging from the roof, and said slowly: "I am an ordinary person, in the Kongtuan plane, in the Pandora plane, in the It’s the same in Jianye, and it’s the same in Tongfu District.”

Mr. Wei has finally eliminated all plans to stir up the main plot.
