Chapter 160 Humanity Is at Its End (New World, Please Vote)

"This is Osaka? Is my bond with Neon so deep?"

Chu Xin was stunned for a moment, thinking about "Dark Bullet", a heartwarming Japanese comic that must-read for romance fans.

Especially the scene where the girls sleep in the same room, it all reflects the beauty of getting along together and being reunited.

Chu Xin, who was still human, recommended it to his friends and almost got poked in the dormitory a day later.

The series itself is a light novel written by an old Zidian thief. However, it was rumored that the author became rich through stock trading, achieved financial freedom and became a eunuch, which in turn caused the anime to stop at a seemingly happy ending.

Let’s talk about the world itself.

According to the timeline, it is 2031 now.

Ten years ago, the originally peaceful world changed.

The terrifying gastroenterovirus was born inexplicably and spread rapidly!

This virus has extremely high infectivity through the blood, almost ignores any immune system, and can invade cells and further rewrite cellular genes.

The speed of its self-replication is far beyond scientists’ knowledge!

In an infected organism, all genes throughout the body will be modified and mutated within a few hours, the cell cycle will be shortened, and rapid division and differentiation will occur.

The direct consequences are violent temper, enlarged body, extremely strong regeneration ability and unstable aggression.

In other words, he becomes an almost irrational and ferocious monster!

The virus also mixes the infected person's DNA with the DNA of other organisms, leading to jaw-dropping mutations.

This kind of mutation is often deformed and grotesque, and is very inconsistent with human aesthetics, and has a style that is similar to monsters.

It sounds similar to the Behemoth Potion.

But gastroenterovirus is obviously more terrifying, reflected in its superior infection intensity and degree of mutation.

Over time, the DNA carried by an individual's gastroenterovirus becomes more abundant.

The more gastrula that mix DNA from different species, the more outstanding their overall strength will be and they will have some special abilities.

It can be divided into levels 1 to 5 according to intensity.

The first level is the weakest. It is the first generation species that has just been infected. There are not many gene types in the body, and the successive ones get stronger.

Level 5, which can be called a biological natural disaster, was named "Zodiac" by the Free State, which is to use the twelve constellations as their code names. The number of sightings in the world is 11, which is capable of withstanding nuclear explosions without causing damage.

Of course, compared to the relatively normal proportionally amplified mutations of other organisms, humans, as the primates of all things, are naturally treated differently.

Not only will they lose their original consciousness and thinking, but they will also be unable to maintain their original appearance. The degree of distortion is far greater than that of other creatures. The process is also extremely painful, and it is tantamount to being dragged into a hell of skinning and bone removal.

In these ten years, no country has been spared.

Faced with the increasing number of gastrula, many countries were defeated and their entire armies were annihilated. Their citizens were either infected, mutated, or devoured.

Maybe someone wants to say what carbon-based organisms can withstand nuclear bombs?

But the key point is that gastrula are extremely resistant to conventional weapons. As long as they are not killed, they can regenerate and heal themselves.

What's more, nuclear bombs are double-edged swords, and nuclear radiation has no effect on gastrea.

Moreover, gastroenterovirus can infect not only lions, tigers, and humans, but also a huge number of insects!

As we all know, when it comes to quantity, insects are king in the animal kingdom. Putting aside the concepts of bacteria.

The most nuclear bombs can do is exterminate humanity itself. Even if all the stocks are exhausted, insects and marine life cannot be wiped out.

Therefore, through the unremitting efforts of the gasterozoa, humans declared defeat in this tragic war.

Humanity has lost 80% of its land, and those places have become places of death that people dare not set foot on. The huge monsters everywhere seem to have entered the prehistoric era.

But the sky is the limit. Just when humans are facing extinction, scientists have discovered that "holmium metal" can inhibit the cell activity of gastrula, preventing cells from dividing to a certain extent, and thus unable to regenerate and heal themselves.

In other words, weapons and equipment made of holmium metal can cause effective damage to it!

The few remaining countries immediately made huge stone monuments out of holmium metal and placed them in a circle outside the city.

They form an invisible magnetic field that isolates the inside and outside from each other, blocking the protozoa from the outside world.

At this moment, not many humans were able to take a breather and temporarily continue the fire.

Expelled to a narrow territory, they lived an elusive existence with fear and despair, fearing that one day thousands of gastrea animals would break through the stone monument.

This is somewhat similar to the world of giants.

I don’t know about other countries, but Chu Xin, who has watched the anime, has some idea of ​​the general situation of Neon.

The current neon area that has not yet been invaded is divided into five major regions.

They are Tokyo District, Osaka District, Sendai District, Hakata District, and Hokkaido District.

The five districts form a neon, but they are independent and autonomous.

Except for Tokyo District, whose official leader is Emperor Sheng, the supreme ruler of the other four districts is the president.

So, Neon has actually split into five countries, secretly fighting each other for power.

The above was all the information that Chu Xin recalled in an instant. After he had a clear idea in his heart, he looked around.

"Run!"

"How on earth did it appear?"

"Where's the stone monument! It's impossible for a gasterozoa to pass through the stone monument!"

"What do the army and starters do for food? All the taxes we paid were in vain!"

People in the park fled in a hurry, their faces filled with the glory of "knowledge and love of learning".

Soon, helicopters arrived at a high altitude nearby, and they did not dare to approach Chu Xin at will.

They transmitted the live footage to the Presidential Palace in the central district of the city.

"Surveillance has been retrieved, and the video shows that this gastrea appeared out of thin air~" an officer reported in shock.

"How is this possible? Is it some kind of special ability?" A rugged middle-aged man with a beard said to himself.

His name is Sogen Seitake, and he is the president of Osaka District. His rule is violent and tough, with no regard for the feelings of the people.

Precisely because of the tyrant's behavior such as imposing heavy taxes and promoting punishment, he was assassinated nearly twenty times, but the results were obvious: the assassins and the organization all died miserably.

"It can pass through the defense line of the stone monument and has such a huge size. There is a 90% probability that it is a level 5 gastrula." A scientific researcher analyzed.

"The twelve zodiac signs?" Qi Wuzongxuan looked solemn.

"But I just compared the existing nine and found no one that matches it, so~" the researcher continued.

Qi Wu Zongxuan turned to look at him and took a deep breath, "There are eleven known ones. Apart from the killed Taurus and Virgo, could this guy become the vacant Cancer!"

"This matter is very big, Mr. President, I suggest contacting the other four regions and the Free State." the researcher said nervously.

Don't panic. If you are in the same city with a gastrula that is suspected to be level 5, if you are not careful, they will collectively ascend to the sky.

However, 99% of the people have no chance to escape, and only a few powerful people can take a plane to a safe area.

"Why didn't it launch an attack? All units should not act rashly for the time being and arrange for nearby facilitators and initiators to go there." Qi Wu Zongxuan warned.

"For gastrula of this level, unless they are among the top ten starters, the rest are meaningless, right?" the researcher asked.

"Even if they die, they must go, because that is the meaning of their lives, their destiny as weapons." Qi Wuzongxuan said indifferently.

…

"Roar~"

Chu Xin opened his mouth and yawned.

This small movement directly caused the hearts of the surrounding troops to twitch, and several of them almost misfired.

Card text appears:

"A world using a random travel card will provide at least one reward task. Whether it is completed depends entirely on the host's will and will not be forced:

1.【The Redemption of the Cursed Son】

Details (In any way, provide safe haven to most of the Cursed Children, allowing them to experience the life of a normal child)

Reward: 1 random world travel card;

2.【Transcendence and Liberation】

Details (Granting physical salvation to the twelve zodiac signs to free their imprisoned souls)

Reward: 2 free capsules (not included in the guaranteed accumulated number of times);

Note: This world can be left at any time without any restrictions, but the host is asked to squeeze out its value and not waste cards. "

"Both of these tasks are pretty good, and they can be easily completed while improving proficiency." Chu Xin muttered secretly.

The main thing is that the rewards also satisfy him. Needless to say, the random world travel card, and the next two gashapons cannot be missed.

Wow~

At this time, many people had gathered around him.

In addition to the heavily armed army and air force, there were dozens of strange combinations in civilian clothes.

They are all a combination of a man and a girl of about ten years old, and are equipped with a variety of hot and cold weapons.

It's not strange to see men of different ages, but a girl of at least fourteen years old seems out of place here.

Moreover, the soldiers and the masses looked at the girls with unconcealed rejection and alienation, even disgust and hatred.

But the girls seem to take it for granted.

Most of their eyes were dim and dull, as if they had lost their expectations for life, and they looked like tool-like walking zombies.

"Is this the Cursed Child?"

Chu Xin naturally saw it too. Those young faces were like faded illustrations, like outsiders abandoned by the world.

Seeing them, he couldn't help but think of the children in the orphanage.

In contrast, the orphanage is a warm and happy home, a life that the cursed child can only hope for.

When it comes to the Cursed Son, we have to talk about gastroenterovirus.

In the early years after the disaster, many pregnant women accidentally ate food contaminated with gastrula body fluids. While being infected, some antibodies were produced in their bodies.

The fetus in the abdomen is not immune to infection, but it will also produce some antibodies like the mother.

For some unknown reason, the virus modifies the chromosomes, so the children produced are all female babies, known as cursed children.

These girls are born with physical qualities that far exceed those of ordinary people, and they may also awaken the characteristics and abilities related to a certain animal, enough to compete with large gasterozoans.

Because their genes have been rewritten by viruses, their physiological structure and body functions are closer to those of gastrula.

Even if there are some antibodies in the body, the virus will continue to erode until it is completely engulfed and turns into a gastrea.

The reality is cruel, it is difficult for a cursed child to survive to adulthood.

Don't worry, there are even more cruel ones!

To deal with gastrea, humans not only rely on the extremely precious holmium metal, but also the Cursed Sons who have been trained in combat.

The selected Cursed Son is like a tempered sword. Once it reaches the factory standard, it will be assigned to a man. At best, it is a fighting partner, and at worst, it is a rationed weapon.

If it dies, replace it.

Men are called "facilitators" and girls are called "initiators."

Already ill-fated, they had to participate in a life-and-death battle at a young age, fighting to the death against ferocious gastrea animals.

Those who died in battle did not receive the glory they deserved, and no one remembered them. Their bones were like garbage and no one cared about them.

If you live, you will die in battle sooner or later, and you will be discriminated against and insulted by others. Even your partners may dislike you.

What about the unchosen Cursed Son?

Nine out of ten were abandoned by their biological parents, ostracized by society, and then expelled to fend for themselves in a peripheral area full of ruins.

Because humans are afraid of them and are worried about being infected by the gastroenterovirus in their bodies.

In the eyes of 99% of the world, they are gastrea animals wearing human skin.

Don’t question why human nature is so ugly. Most people can’t even give an AIDS patient a hug, so don’t imagine accepting the cursed child.

In other words, humans cannot defeat gastrea, so they can only bully weak and kind little girls and vent their anger on them.

Admittedly, this is human instinct and is not easy to evaluate.

However, the regional officials as leaders did not guide the people to change their misconceptions. Instead, they blindly used the Cursed Children as individual weapons.

But when you think about the constant internal fighting in this period, it’s obvious what kind of officials those officials are.

The abnormal social atmosphere has further deepened the distorted cognition of the public. In addition, everyone has experienced horrific disasters, is in a state of panic all year round, and even sleeps with nervousness. Everyone has some psychological problems.

The combination of various factors has led to the deformed society we have today.

The Cursed Children endure suffering that is not theirs.

"You think of me as the zodiac sign? It seems that there is indeed an empty Cancer constellation."

Chu Xin found that this group of people had not dared to take action, and had been waiting and watching.

If they don't move, he won't stay here as a statue.

Buzz~

Chu Xin opened the map inside Godzilla's skull, and the picture in his mind was simply too horrific to look at.

The entire world map is almost covered in black and gray, including all the oceans. Only 20% of the land has a name.

Not much of my former hometown is left, but in today's world, it is still one of the largest in area.

In this situation, no one can blame anyone. The nuclear bombs have all been empty. There is no such thing as who is strong and who is weak.

It seems to be a fight between princes for hegemony, but in fact it is extremely precious human refugees being kept in captivity by gastrea animals!

If one of the zodiac signs is unhappy, he will lead an army of millions to randomly open cans.

"Don't officials like Neon have any brains? Isn't it more efficient than the current beastly model to take good care of and cultivate the cursed son, maximize his potential, and then fight rationally to reduce casualties?"

Chu Xin really couldn't enter into their thinking.

To put it bluntly, if you have hatred, you should target gastroenterates. Why should you target the little girls who are also victims!

“Those two tasks cannot be accomplished overnight, they require a process.”

Boom~

He opened his legs and the ground shook violently.

For a moment, everyone's breath was stagnant, and they were extremely nervous.

"Request to attack!"

"Passed, all starters attack the target!"

But Chu Xin was one step ahead.

Buzz~buzz~

The dorsal fin gradually blooms with purple light.

Chu Xin did not bend down and lower his head, but aimed at the distant downtown area and opened his mouth.

boom--

The scorching radiation stream descends on neon again!
