Chapter 38 Chapter 138 Still Human

Chapter 38 1.38 Still Human

To the north of Guangdong is Hunan, and when they are connected together, it is the Yuan Dynasty's Huguang Province.

The fighting between the gene communities fleeing northward from Guangdong and the gene communities here has become vicious - oh, the involution has reached its extreme, and it has derived irreconcilable hatred.

The species in the two places have produced a large number of targeted evolutions.

For example, they have evolved to be exactly the same color as mud in the water to ambush. Or the spikes that can just block the opponent's limbs.

This vicious evolution has greatly consumed the resources and energy potential of the ecology. Therefore, the total node creatures in the hundreds of small and medium-sized gene communities in Hunan have awakened from Dongting Lake.

At the bottom of Dongting Lake, a center, multiple scaly python bodies extending and rolling within a range of 400 meters around it have become active. This creature is not at the apostle level, but it is definitely the overlord of a region. The powerful life radiation affects all small and medium-sized gene communities.

And these gene communities, as descendants of large nodes, have also fed back a lot of biological energy.

A lot of silt rose from the bottom of the lake, and the precipitated nutrients and organic matter came to the surface of the lake, along with a lot of eggs like toad eggs.

These eggs opened their green leaves under the sunlight and turned into duckweed. These duckweeds quickly spread and filled the lake surface, and when the proliferation speed was the fastest, a large number of whirlpools appeared underwater and swallowed the duckweed.

These whirlpool makers, through such nutrition acquisition, completed their development in the water, and climbed up the shore crookedly. At first glance, they were a group of giant salamanders, but in the next few days, they continued to devour creatures on the surface, their hind limbs extended to become ornithischians, and their head bite force increased to become Tyrannosaurus Rex.

And further north, another center with strong life radiation in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River - Yucheng.

The skyscrapers that once stood on the riverside have now been replaced by the trunk of a giant tree. All the fragments of the skyscrapers have been wrapped and swallowed by the tree tissue on the No. 1 giant tree.

On the top of the tallest giant tree-building fusion hangs a "fruit" with a diameter of four meters. This fruit has a human brain and eyes. This is the highest ruler in the gene community of Yucheng, the First Spirit.

Now, she is looking south, that is, the direction of Dongting Lake.

Below her, 43 priests are sitting on the branches of the giant tree! These priests are generally human in appearance, but the details such as hair, pupils, nails, and scales on the skin have the characteristics of other creatures.

The First Spirit: "The dragon in Dongting Lake has moved. After it wakes up this time, it will not only clean up its territory, but also expand to the surrounding areas before the end of hibernation."

The First Spirit cast his eyes to his lower left side and asked his children telepathically: "How should we deal with it?"

When asking questions, he mainly cast his expectations on the two closest symbiotic priests, Long Ximin and Qi Shengxun.

While Long Ximin was still thinking, Qi Shengxun rushed forward and took a step: "Lord Shouling, the awakening of the Dongting Lake Tyrant this time is because an anti-natural force has risen in the south. It is not our enemy, so we need to guide it."

Shouling: "Guide?"

Qi Shengxun: "The humanoid gene community in the southernmost part of the country is currently destroying the natural ecology and is contrary to us. If we let it understand our life path when it is weak, it will be much better than contacting it in the future when it deviates more and more from our path."

Shouling looked at Long Ximin.

Long Ximin turned to Qi Shengxun: "From a genetic point of view, they are all new communities of human gene evolution. Do we really want to have a fierce confrontation with this existence with similar genes to us now?"

Qi Shengxun: "In terms of genetic similarity, those downstream are also similar."

Long Ximin: "No, the old humans downstream are not a genetic community." - In Yucheng's mind, there is no community, just a group of bacteria with human cell genes

Qi Shengxun argued the key sentence lightly: "But those beings in the south are not the children of the mother, not our brothers."

Long Ximin retreated silently and stopped talking.

The head spirit looked at the other priests: "Do you have any other opinions?"

In the echo of the soul on the top of the giant tree, the other priests did not oppose Qi Shengxun.

...

Yucheng's genetic community has the ability to take up industry, which is very rare in the world. If you look at the distance of Yucheng, you can see some huge pyramid-shaped buildings sealed with green in the mountains. These were not built during the human civilization period, but rose from the ground during the Pandora period. Now it is sealed with the buildings of the civilization era.

If they feel it is necessary, they will still smelt steel, but the high temperature and exhaust gas of steel smelting will make the gene community very disgusted, and their attitude towards the workshop industry of this metal product is the same as that of a spittoon.

Nowadays, when confronting the human city-states in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, they prefer to grow hard wood with silicon-based crystals, which are polished and inserted into the body of the organism to become sharp horns. Of course, flying beasts will also throw some corrosive materials for air strikes.

September 4, 134th year of the Pandora era.

Qi Shengxun went south with the advice of the first spirit. In the wetland swamp covered with vines on the north bank of Dongting Lake. He sat down slowly and began to emit radiation as a small node organism.

After the waves on the lake surface had been surging for twenty minutes, the large worm in Dongting Lake surfaced. The several-meter-high meat mountain was wriggling in the wetland, leaving a deep black humus dent.

Facing such a monster, Qi Shengxun's eyes were slightly frightened, but he quickly opened his arms and greeted it. His body was embedded in the body of the worm, and then melted into each other in the mutual radiation of life.

There seemed to be light in this process, but in fact it was not visible electromagnetic waves, but the perception brought by life radiation to the suddenly mutated creatures.

The two sides completed the gene fusion, which was the communication between the two gene communities.

For humans, such a communication process is unimaginable, but for the gene community and the individuals in the community, this is not death, but represents the community's implementation of the goal.

To the north of Dongting Lake, the legion from Yucheng crossed the Yangtze River. These animals, which were advancing like centaurs on the ground, opened up their half-human upper torsos and ribs after entering the Yangtze River, revealing countless red cracks. These cracks opened and closed, which was the function of the gills. This group of forces arrived at the edge of Dongting Lake and joined forces with tens of thousands of war beasts in Dongting Lake.

But if you look closely, the two teams are still clearly divided into two commands, and the command of the northern gene community is still in the north.

Although Qi Shengxun's body was devoured, the existence represented by him has not disappeared in this life group.

Perhaps it can be compared with the politics of the earth: this is the dual empire. When the royal family of a country inherits the king of another nation, the two countries are unified in high-level politics, but they are actually two different nations. When an era passes, they will still separate, such as Hungary and Austria.

Although this is a biological community, the action of tens of thousands of large individuals weighing hundreds of kilograms or more is a large-scale military operation. Even though many of them are eaters who are not picky about raw or cold food and have excellent digestion, they have to store large amounts of fat before exercise and transform their digestive systems at the same time.

Guangdong, Zhujiao, a stronghold at the lowest downstream.

Under a group of black chimneys made of red bricks, Wei Keng stared at the fuel manufacturing equipment, from one reactor to another, through various heating chambers, when the catalyst reacted, and finally entered the distillation tower, he finally made the fuel.

Wei Keng looked at the slightly smelly liquid in the pottery jar and couldn't help but sigh: "If it was just five years after the Pandora era, there were still a large number of internal combustion locomotives in major city-states, and my oil refining would be equivalent to refining gold, but now?"

Half an hour later, a group of three Wei Kengs, one poured fuel into the black engine, and the other picked up the solid iron crankshaft and began to shake the black engine. Bang, bang, da da, this simple diesel engine started. Sitting on this crawler tractor, when the speed reached ten meters per second, the wind with the black smoke of the tractor fascinated Wei Keng sitting in the driver's seat.

You must finish the b you want to pretend.

Around, there are guests from various cities invited by Wei Keng.

The purpose of showing off the locomotives produced by themselves this time is to show the surrounding forces that they are no longer technologically backward and to remind the people behind them not to do stupid things.

According to what Wei Keng knows, um, that is, the news he got from various business groups, the two city-states such as Ji'an City are still unwilling to give up.

Within a year, almost three or four thousand laborers came to the south from various city-states. Under Wei Keng's organization, they expanded farmland and opened roads, and mined raw materials for production. Especially the factories that were in operation showed what super production capacity is.

Take the textile factory as an example. The factory with only seven or eight machines has a much higher efficiency in mechanical tanning of fibers than hand rubbing. Linen and cotton cloth, while meeting the consumption of the Wei Keng cluster itself, are dumped towards the surrounding city-states.

Food, clothing, and safety, Wei Keng can provide them, which has made Wei Keng's stronghold community a human pump effect.

The continuous influx of young and middle-aged people from the old strongholds into Wei Keng's stronghold to try their luck has not yet been significantly felt by the civilians of various city-states. They just felt that the caravans brought more goods, there was nothing to do in the city, and there were fewer people fighting in the dark.

But for the lords of each city-state, they had a deep understanding that they could no longer give absolute orders to the lower levels.

Before Wei Keng came, the upper level of the city-state could order people in the city to collect wood and salt mines in the dangerous area in the name of cutting off food.

These top leaders of the city-state still retained some knowledge of human society before the great destruction, so they knew the two terms "industrial scissors gap" and "urban effect radiation", and they would not be like the upper level of the modern Qing Dynasty, who were sucked blood and didn't know that their arteries were cut.

Therefore, these city-state upper levels who realized the crisis seemed to have made several connections.

In this regard, Wei Keng also maintained full vigilance, because Wei Keng himself knew that if he continued this model for a few years, he would be able to kill them.

If they don't jump this year, they will have no chance to jump in the future. As for whether they will jump a few times before they die. Wei Keng will not bet that they have no bullets in their guns.

Just as Wei Keng was waiting for the city-state leaders to attack him, he found that his attention seemed to have been diverted again.

On September 27, at the Qingyuan stronghold, Wei Keng set up a logging team to collect wood and then transport it downstream by water to provide fuel and chemical raw materials.

I met a caravan this morning. The leader of this caravan said that there was something big going on, so he could only temporarily close the caravan and bring them into the stronghold.

After the leader of the caravan sat down, he collected enough benefits, kept it secret for a while, and said that "further north, there is a large-scale southward movement of genetic communities." Wei Keng took a look at the mysterious businessman in front of him. With a mysterious look, he immediately associated it with the 'marketing account'.

But since traveling, so many unlucky things happened, which made Wei Keng understand rationally that his luck was really bad, and some things would rather be believed than not.

The next development convinced Wei Keng that maybe all this was true.

Shaoheng City is the northernmost city-state in Guangdong, with a population of 60,000! In this era, it was definitely a big city. It was connected to the Gan region in the north by a passage that could transport important scientific and technological materials from the large human city-states in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the north. Therefore, it has always been the focus of trade routes.

However, the caravans in this city are no longer active. There is only one possible explanation. It is surrounded by unknown genetic communities and humans guard the city walls. The humans in the traditional city-states of this plane are different from Wei Keng.

Wei Keng's group of one hundred people is large enough to be able to travel across the jungle. Even when faced with genetic groups, they can shoot at them and continuously attack and kill their external targets. In an environment like the jungle, Wei Keng's telepathy speed between individuals is almost as strong as that of a single person, so there is no fear of a single person facing the jungle. Moreover, because Wei Keng can sense the location of opponents in the mountains of northern Guangdong through life radiation, Equivalent to "can see" the danger. But for the caravans here, if they are not careful in the jungle, they will be surrounded by giant beasts, and even life radiation will destroy them.

He destroyed four small gene communities with his bare hands, and then set fire to them, flooding the ground, and forcing back the invading medium-sized gene communities in the area except his own. So Wei Keng unknowingly overlooked something.

And now, Wei Keng was prompted! A big city of 60,000 people can be blocked by genetic radiation! Human beings in this world are different from ourselves, and there is no unified thought and determination.

Wei Keng couldn't help but think back to his state just after arriving. What if he had no determination? What will happen?

After all, I haven't forgotten those things in my previous life, so I had a collective violent attack after facing threats.

Wei Keng couldn't help but hypothesize: "If I become less prone to sudden changes, I might disperse in a hurry. Of course, in that case, what will be my fate here? It can be seen from the ending of the death of so many individuals in this world. ”

At this time, Wei Keng couldn't help but feel confused: "So, am I not wrong?" However, this question involves the scars in his heart, and he doesn't want to think about it.

Now Wei Keng not only leaves some industrial production facilities and management in this world, but also seems to have some answers that need to be verified.

In various strongholds and different factories, the Wei Kengs all raised their arms thoughtfully! He looked at the cyan veins under his skin. .

Regarding blood exchange, people who come here do it with each other once a month, but basically they avoid Wei Keng.

But now Wei Keng seriously began to consider whether he could integrate more with the people here, so he opened the system and asked: "System, will my genetic radiation have any impact on the people around me?"

Bai Linglu pressed the system's intelligent self-answer AI, grabbed the microphone and began to explain: "If the genetic gap between species is extremely small, there is no harm in mutual radiation. When different people's genes build proteins, in addition to embryonic development and growth stages, There are differences between people. But after growing into adults, the endocrine, muscle, and visceral tissue proteins in each person's life activities are within a fixed range according to different living habits, so they are within a fixed range. Although there is some influence under the influence of life radiation, this influence is more about regulating the biological clock and mental state rather than replacing thoughts and appearance.”

Wei Keng was silent for a while and sighed: "So, am I an alien in the eyes of humans in this world?"

Bai Linglu: “If you don’t break something, you may always be considered an alien in some way.”

After Wei Keng finished talking to (what he thought was) the system.

In each factory, Wei Keng walked towards the employees and said, "Everyone, let us sing a song."

"unity is strength……"

The song that made me irritated when I was in military training in my previous life is now my courageous song in this world.
