Chapter 42 Chapter 142 The Brutal Group
Chapter 42 1.42 Brutal Community
The final stage of the third phase of the conflict was extremely boring.
Because the gene communities heading south were at their wits' end.
If they gathered together, without the support of modern logistics, the lack of food and water in their location would make the gene communities move more slowly. And if they spread out more widely, they would be destroyed one by one by Wei Keng more quickly.
Maintain the status quo? These community groups are now in a collapse-style retreat.
So boring, just like the self-rescue of human city-states that the main world travelers have seen on timelines in the past.
In those timelines, humans resisted after Pandora covered the world. Each time, it was one or two people, or a small group of people who used the remaining patterns of the past to the limit with great heart, and even exceeded the limit of the past, giving others ethereal hope, but in the end, facing the future that could never be blocked, they fell into powerlessness! Repeated again and again, as the taste of life became increasingly bland, the stench of decay became increasingly strong.
What life wants is a breakthrough! The dying struggle is to try all possibilities with all your strength, not the helplessness of "trying your best" in the dark Japanese comics of the 21st century.
When Wei Keng's seventh interlude ended, he still returned intact with all the weapons and supplies. When he "happened" to pass by Ji'an City, Wei Keng and his men looked at the mist spreading around the city walls, and the bleak life radiation of the city-state people who were still living in a dead state.
Wei Keng: "Death? It doesn't seem unacceptable. The key is to have hope. Some people die lighter than a feather, and some people die heavier than Mount Tai."
Three days after Wei Keng's legion returned, a tractor team from the Pearl River Basin drove to the foot of Ji'an City and conducted a commercial trade.
At the end of the war, the number of humans in this plane who followed Wei Keng to fight and undertake support missions had reached 347. In order to resist possible genetic radiation pollution, they were basically injected with Wei Keng's blood. There were no imagined side effects, such as becoming the same as Wei Keng, or having their minds controlled by Wei Keng.
More and more locals in the gathering place began to be affected by the group following effect.
These brave young people who wanted to walk freely on this land with guns chose to try a shot. As for Wei Keng, he began to ration the quota because of insufficient self-output.
When Wei Keng tightened his blood output, it caused a trend of pursuit, which made Wei Keng laugh.
On December 11, 134 of the Pandora era, the morning sun made the dew on the wall of the city wall reflect a little crystal.
The tractor convoy from the south only stopped outside the city wall, and the goods began to be hoisted into the city, but the trade team from Zhujiang was not all put into the city wall.
Zeng Jiakan, the general trade leader who led the team this time, returned to his homeland with enthusiasm, looking forward to being welcomed as a hero.
However, a few hours after he entered the iron gate, he walked out of the black and gray city. When he returned, the excitement had disappeared, replaced by loss.
In the city, he felt a bunch of "looking at different" eyes.
This once passionate young man was very upset: he had risked being melted by the gene community to save this city, but in this city, those who had given him orders and colleagues who had admired his courage to leave the city were now whispering behind his back: This person has become a slave controlled by the southern people.
Zeng Jiakan wanted to shout at them: "Have you forgotten the sense of death pressure from the gene community!"
The people in Ji'an City did not hear his inner cry.
But Wei Keng heard it! Well, this is the first abnormal phenomenon that Wei Keng can confirm after the blood injection.
The Wei Keng cluster attaches great importance to it: This proves that other individuals and themselves (Wei Keng) in the same life field still have special influence effects.
Zeng Jiakan may not be the first one, because before this, he could always inadvertently hear the voices of some people's intense psychological activities, but at that time Wei Keng could not be sure whether it was his hallucination. But now he can be sure.
Of course, Wei Keng can't hear everything.
Wei Keng had never heard of some instinctive and meaningless psychological activities, such as whether to eat fish or eggs today, and other low-level desires.
This is not even an active skill. Wei Keng can only hear it when some individuals have particularly complex emotions and cannot help themselves. The current phenomenon may be the convergence effect of the biological community node.
What Wei Keng did not know was that in the high-dimensional space bubble, in the current records of Bai Linglu, this kind of situation has been recorded as "The Formation of Human Genetic Community", and Wei Keng has been compared with various elements of traditional node creatures in this world.
After this incident, Wei Keng was also very concerned in the plane mission.
Wei Keng, who was afraid of "social death", began to pay attention to whether his inner dialogue sometimes could be heard by them.
Of course, this would not happen. Bai Linglu gave such an answer in the report. The information processing ability of node creatures is stronger than that of other individuals. Although the information relationship between Wei Keng's group is a regional block, it is the center relative to the newly included individuals in the outside world.
Peripheral individuals such as Zeng Jiakan do not have the central information processing capabilities of the Wei Keng cluster, so they cannot receive the complex psychological activities of the Wei Keng cluster.
As for Wei Keng, he acted as if nothing had happened to the outside world. In fact, he secretly tested the people in this plane and confirmed the same result. The "group information" between each individual will not be leaked. So he also quietly hid the fact that "he can read other people's minds" from the outside world.
Hiding is hiding, but when he encountered those words, Wei Keng still thought about it.
At this time, Zeng Jiakan asked about his resentment towards Ji'an City, and Wei Keng answered with empathy in his heart.
Wei Keng: Those people in the city who are now high and mighty and use literature to express the feelings of this city do not have too deep feelings about this war, because in the war with the community, they are in the leadership class and can push out unimportant people as sacrifice shells again and again, and you, Zeng Jiakan, took the initiative to meet the storm. They feel that they can't repay your kindness, and they don't want to feel guilty as a despicable person, so they deliberately regard you as a tool person and social shell without pain and emotion.
But after thinking about what to say, Wei Keng didn't say a word to Zeng Jiakan.
Wei Keng is not used to preaching, preaching is equal to promise. So this answer is actually a self-reminder, reminding himself how to use some practical performance to deal with the questions of people like Zeng Jiakan.
Look, some people in Ji'an City were picked up by the negotiators of the Pearl River gathering place. These numb and confused people who left the city are consumables for this defense.
Because their bodies were damaged by a large amount of genetic radiation, part of their skin was covered with animal hair, and their hands even lost some human nerve functions and turned into claws. So they were hated by everyone in the city, and they hated their abnormal life phenomena, which would interfere with themselves.
In short, to be honest, they are very ugly! If there is no premise, let Wei Keng meet them, he will definitely walk around like a beggar who smells bad on the street.
However, now after answering quietly in his heart: Wei Keng pinched his nose and determined that they should be alive, and he should help these people.
...
When the upper level of Ji'an City, standing on the high tower, confirmed that the fog of the surrounding jungle dissipated, the traces of the beasts disappeared, and the security crisis was resolved. He hurried to the ancestral temple in the city to thank his ancestors for their blessings.
When the trade group of Zhujiao proposed that they could transfer labor to offset the cost of this rescue, and the specific plan did not mind some injured people irradiated by the gene community, the ruling council of Ji'an City hurriedly drove more than 4,000 mutants out of the city.
These people with serious mutant diseases were driven out of the city, and when they heard that they were going to be sent to monsters like Wei Keng, they were extremely panicked. Even in despair, some of the original symbiotic microbial communities on their bodies separated from the cell nucleus and turned into viruses, causing large-scale coughing and vomiting and diarrhea.
Regarding this matter, Wei Keng sighed. Whenever such hysteria appeared in human society, religion was often needed as a dependency to fill the inner void. Now in front of Wei Keng is an opportunity to become a god! But Wei Keng refused in his heart.
The working group separated from the Wei Keng cluster was responsible for counseling and began to chat with these people.
Tell stories to ten-year-old children, tell idiom stories, and tell about human life before the Great Destruction.
Chat with the women, ask them how to thread the clothes to mend them, and whether they need some sewing machines.
Talk to the men about farming, you can grow food in the soil, you can make houses out of bricks, and you can cure diseases.
Before returning to the temporary resettlement base in Zhujiang, the four thousand people were almost calm, and they had no objection to the injection of Wei Keng's blood for life radiation treatment. The previous propaganda in Ji'an City about Wei Keng being a different species was slowly put down.
It is very normal to inject blood in the city-state! It is the norm to resist the external life radiation. In Ji'an City, if a person is eroded by the demon's breath (genetic pollution), it can actually be treated. In this regard, these people who were excluded also yearn for such treatment in their hearts.
After so many days of chatting, Wei Keng gradually dispelled their rejection and began to guide them to accept his own treatment. When Wei Keng proposed the treatment plan, it was seen that there was a trace of hesitation on their faces. But in the end? It seems that they still filled in the list one after another reluctantly.
How to treat the minor effects of species chaos gene radiation in Ji'an City? Just inject the blood of one hundred normal people! It's just that the market price of each normal person's blood is one hundred coins! Yes, it's the nickel-iron one-dollar steel coin in the civilized era. When capital assists feudalism in management, there is no possibility that the survival rights of the middle and lower classes will be taken care of by public services.
Poor, but want to survive, so in the end they are forced to accept the options that they would not have chosen before. This is like when there is a famine, they will eventually choose to eat kaolin.
…
On December 31, 134 of the Pandora era, a week after these migrants from Ji'an City were resettled,
Wei Keng drew blood from tubes and injected them into the four thousand people, causing Wei Keng's life radiation to drop by one percent in a short period of time. But it was restored after a few days.
After taking a tube of blood, Wei Keng felt uncomfortable for about five days. But for the four thousand people, it was equivalent to regeneration. These mutants found that the effect of injecting Wei Keng's blood was almost visible to the naked eye. The hair of animals on the skin fell off, and some people's tail vertebrae also shrank back, causing them to be seriously disfigured. The sharp teeth that poked out of their lips were pulled out, and normal teeth began to grow again a few days later.
Of course, after a month, no one's appearance would assimilate with Wei Keng.
It's just that this gene injection made Wei Keng very serious about some changes now.
Wei Keng: If it develops into a situation similar to a gene community now, then it is divided into an inner circle and an outer circle. The inner circle is our own group, and the outer circle is the human group that begins to communicate with our own genes.
This assimilation may have a lot of benefits, but Wei Keng is wary of the possible disadvantages! As a population, humans should have a certain diversity. Now Wei Keng himself is unwilling to let everyone become the same as himself.
Wei Keng: "System, is this possible?"
System: "Your gene community effect is already in the radiation stage, and a large number of other species around you have been cleared by you. As the top species in the highest food chain, ecological resources begin to be controlled by a species, so they will form resonance under the gene activity of that species. You should be the core, and your blood injection just accelerates this process."
Wei Keng: "Really? Then what are the disadvantages?"
System: "There are no disadvantages. As long as the population spreads large enough, there will always be mutations. You don't have to worry about the problem of human genetic diversity. Because except for you, the cohesion of human beings can never make genes converge towards the level of clone clusters."
But Wei Keng asked a more heart-breaking question: "Then will my life radiation field evolve to a higher level and affect the human groups around me!"
Wei Keng's inner rejection of the question: Today, I can already hear the voices of some people, so one day in the future, will I send information to others in a one-way manner? Even in the future, I can directly remotely control their thinking and will!
After running for a few seconds, the system responded with "lack of data".
…
The data is indeed lacking, but there are references in this world, but Bai Linglu will not point this vicious reference to Wei Keng.
In the northern Yucheng, the rolling Yangtze River is still rushing against the vines blocking the river.
In the three-dimensional mountain city, a large head hanging on the eye-catching skyscraper tree building turned again.
Now this giant connects all the sacrifices at the top of the bright tower.
At the top of this skyscraper, the tile floor is still preserved, but the tiles are covered with green veins like blood vessels. Every inch is wiped clean, which makes people think that the owner of this place has mysophobia.
Every sacrifice here has a seat built by vines, but no one dares to sit down now. Because the mood of the head spirit is not good enough to allow them to sit down.
The head spirit: "The battle in the south is over, Qi Shengxun is dead!"
From the perspective of humans, Qi Shengxun died after his brain and mind were shuffled after being devoured, but in the community, there is no such thing as an emotional and mental self, everything belongs to the mistress. Only genes represent the self.
Qi Shengxun's genetic influence disappeared. His death represented that a branch of the First Spirit was completely destroyed.
The last priest crossed his hands and reported to the First Spirit in awe: "Dongting Lake Dragon Blood suffered a heavy blow during this southward movement. Lord First Spirit, please ask, in your opinion, do you want to unify this incompetent scum?"
There have always been struggles between gene communities. For example, the community that Wei Keng drove away from Guangdong in the second phase went north to Hunan and was swallowed up by the Dongting community. Now Dongting's southward movement was almost completely destroyed by Wei Keng. Only one-fifth of the total number of lives returned, but in fact, the node creatures were repeatedly destroyed, and the scale of life radiation was only one in ten, which was a real heavy blow. So this is indeed a good opportunity for the Yucheng community to annex.
However, the First Spirit did not give priority to discussing this topic now, but continued to wonder.
The First Spirit: "What is that place in the south, near the sea!" She continued to ask her closest priests. At this time, the anxiety of this super big head was shared by these closest priests.
The conversation continued, but a few vines appeared in the hall without any hesitation, dragging a few priests into the cave in the big tree. The thoughts and consciousness of these priests were swallowed by the head spirit.
And the head spirit seemed to have nothing happened, as if it had just swallowed a few breads, just like a bored human talking to his breads and eating while talking.
And the priests who were "little breads" were not afraid, and they were all calm. They thought that it was normal to be swallowed if "they were not used as bread for other purposes".
[Such a scene, so calm! Such understanding is enough to scare people in the civilized era! Therefore, they are not human beings, and have never regarded the humans in the city-state as the same kind. 】
Long Ximin: "Madam, I still want to go there."
Shouling: "You? Do you think you can still communicate with him? Wow, he is very cruel!"
Long Ximin: "He inherited the most brutal male gene among humans and has a tendency to destroy, but he may have some desires."
The First Spirit thought for a while, and a flower bud with a diameter of five meters extended from the giant tree and wrapped around Long Ximin. As the petals bit together, the inner petals of the petals popped out flesh thorns and pierced Long Ximin's body inch by inch. There was no blood spurting, but the flesh was fused, and the flower bud completely shrank. The First Spirit put the flower back on the treetop fifty meters away from him, and wrapped around the branches of the giant tree.
The First Spirit: "She will come out in fifty days. Next, let's talk about the Dongting community. I don't want to drink from the same river with this group of hairy, scaly and horned people now."
