Chapter 1395: The Edge of Collapse: Overflowing (Part 2)

Under the dark night sky, light blue particles were floating in the air, and there were strange, stone-like creatures, some big and some small, with bursts of weird roars coming from the mouths of these creatures. Gene sat quietly on a rock with a cigarette in his hand. It had been nearly two hours, and Gene was still thinking.

Under the dim light from the bright city in the distance, Jean's face was filled with suspicion, and he wandered in the dark starry sky every day. For more than half a year, Jean only had the dark starry sky in his memory, but he didn't know why. , Jean's expression looked very soft at this time, and Jean also felt the change in his body, which was very light.

The light blue particles dragging these strange creatures seemed softer than before. Jean looked towards Brilliant City with a smile. He did not intend to go back yet. Jean seemed to be enjoying something at this moment.

Jean didn't know why he was in a very good mood. The most important thing was that Jean felt that his power seemed to have become very stable at this time. Jean gently moved these stone-like creatures and directly lifted them very high. Far away, Gene then stood up and walked away, the fireworks behind him standing quietly.

Jean clearly remembered that he was looking for the exit every day. However, no matter how he searched, Jean could only move forward in the dark sky. A month ago, Jean finally knew that the trajectory of the fireworks had always been It is orbiting, which means that Jean has never left the earth at all, but has been orbiting in the cosmic interlayer between the outer envelope of the earth and the earth's atmosphere.

"It looks like it's going to be very difficult to get out of this cage."

As soon as Jean finished speaking, he felt something strange, because in his memory Jean had never felt that the earth was like a huge cage, but when he mentioned the word cage, he always felt very familiar, as if he had said it countless times.

Jean glanced at the time. It was already 5 o'clock in the morning. The bright city in the distance was still brightly lit. Today was New Year's Eve.

Jean glanced at the undulating mountains behind him, and he landed in a mountainous area. From time to time, the name Tasia would appear in his mind. Jean looked at the sky to the north. Jean now felt more and more... There was a problem with his memory. He had been to Northern Europe and did meet a girl named Tasia.

Jean smiled slightly. Although the memory in his mind was a bit fragmented and he could not remember what this girl looked like, the only thing Jean still remembered was that she was a very brave girl. The issue of memory could only be put aside temporarily. Turning aside, Jean felt that the time spent drifting around in the mezzanine of the universe passed very quickly, without even the slightest sense of boredom. He always felt that there seemed to be problems with his memory again.

“I wonder what’s going on with the city!”

Jean took out a cigarette, lit it, and stared at the dazzling city in front of him quietly. At this time, a swaying black outline appeared in the distance. Jean looked over, took his things and left. Very close.

"Let's go take a look first."

boom

With a violent explosion sound, Jean crossed a pile of strange stone-like creatures. In an instant, these creatures exploded under the light blue particles. When they shattered, they looked like scattered stones. Jean I don’t know if these animals are still alive, because their cells are between living things and non-living things, which is very strange.

And Gene also vaguely felt that some changes had taken place in his power. The use of alienated cells became much faster than before. After passing through the object in an instant, the violent speed would trigger powerful mass energy, and then create matter. Crushing, Gene feels great now.

More and more humanoids exploded on both sides of Jean. Jean walked through some mountains and flew toward the giant moving thing in the distance.

"Is he really a big guy?"

In just a few minutes, Jean stood on the top of a hill, looking at a large area of ​​rocky ground below. There were a dense number of large and small creatures. In front of Jean, It is a moving hill.

Light blue particles floated on the surface of Jean's body. Jean squatted down and lit a cigarette. Along with a violent rumble, Jean smiled and shook his head.

In front of Jean's eyes, there is a monster. This monster is nearly 40 meters tall. It looks like an elephant, with thick limbs. Its body is gray, and there are black objects on the surface of the body that are like spores. , showing a strange red color, these things look like some kind of crystalline material.

This elephant-like monster has a triangular head, no eyes, and only a large mouth that opens slightly from time to time. And on the back of this monster, there seems to be a large number of various kinds of animals living there. Creatures.

It is a miracle that these humanoids can survive. Unlike plantoids, they are not afraid of light. Their skin is very hard, at least as hard as steel. This is what puzzles Jean the most. He has already conducted experiments on these humanoids. A lot of research has been done, but no reason has been found. Their DNA is also very strange, or it cannot be called biological DNA. It is more appropriate to call it atoms of similar substances.

The giant beast in front of him moves very slowly, and it may take half a day to move. It is more like a huge mobile base for the creature-like creatures that live on the surface of his skin. The creature-like creatures will nibble on these spore luminous crystals from time to time. , all this is too weird.

Gene was still thinking about a question, whether to deal with this thing first or wait until he returned, but Gene soon had the answer. It would be troublesome to wait until it moved to the edge of the city wall before dealing with it. It was more than 80 kilometers away from the barrier of the Brilliant City. According to the snail-like movement speed and these undulating mountains, it would take a long time to move there.

Gene exhaled a puff of smoke, stood up, threw away the cigarette butt, and then stretched out a hand, looking at the behemoth in front of him. He bent his body, his legs were like springs, and a light blue light flashed across him in an instant.

Bang

Accompanied by a violent noise, Gene fell on the head of the monster in an instant. After the bun crystal exploded, some thick black juice flowed out, accompanied by a violent roar, and a mountain-shaking tremor instantly, and a large number of creatures rushed towards Gene.

Gene half-crouched on the head of the giant beast. The tentative attack just now only left a small pit on the head of the giant beast.

Whoosh

A huge creature with two horns like a bull rushed over. Gene raised one hand and dragged the bull with light blue telekinesis. He took out a cigarette with his other hand. The monster under him stomped on the ground angrily, making bursts of violent roars.

Gene stood steadily on the forehead of the giant beast while swaying. He looked at the creatures that kept rushing over in front of him. They still retained the appearance characteristics of some creatures on this planet in the past. More and more creatures gathered. The giant beast under his feet was roaring. Gene was surrounded by a large number of creatures, but these creatures could not move forward at all.

A large amount of dust was raised on the ground. A large number of creatures gathered. The light in the distance in front of Gene disappeared little by little. These things will threaten human survival in the future. This is a major reason why humans have to leave this planet. Where these creatures came from is still a mystery.

Gene had seen too many things during his two trips to look for mimics. It was certain that these things were now moving towards the Brilliant City.

They seemed to still follow the simple intelligence of animals in the past, as well as some similar living habits. The giant beast under Gene's feet was not considered huge in Gene's eyes, because Gene had seen giant beasts hundreds of times larger than this one. He had encountered one when he first went out to look for mimics, and in just a moment, a large piece of the spaceship was eaten away.

Gene tried his best but failed to get rid of the giant in the sea. In the end, it returned to the sea and disappeared.

At this time, Gene seemed to be wrapped in darkness, with only the light blue particles around him emitting a faint light like a barrier. Gene held a cigarette in his mouth and pressed one hand on his heart.

Sizzle

Gene took out the spider-shaped machine.

"There's no other way. Let's get rid of it first."

Boom

Gene's heart began to beat, and the color of the light blue particles around him began to deepen. Gene looked at the pile of creatures in front of him that were blocked by telekinesis, and jumped over instantly.

In the darkness, beams of deep blue light pierced through instantly. At first, it was just a little bit, but as more and more blue light overflowed, one by one, the creatures exploded with wailing.

With a cracking sound, Gene rushed out instantly. The blue particles swept across the back of the giant beast like an ocean. A large number of spore luminous crystals exploded, and black juice splashed. The moment Gene stopped, he jumped back. He looked up and smiled at the large area of ​​​​the creatures that were shattered in front of him.

Gene looked up in the air, accompanied by bursts of explosions around him. The moment he stood up, the giant beast in front of him was turning around. Gene was in the middle of the giant beast's thick body. In an instant, accompanied by a violent blue light, Gene instantly kicked the body of the giant beast.

Crack

Gene looked at the cracks on the surface of the giant beast's body. His eyes stared at the place where the cracks were sunken. The giant beast was roaring, and more and more blue particles gathered on the surface of Gene's body. These blue particles have begun to grow larger at this time.

With a loud bang, Gene instantly rushed into the body of the giant beast.

A series of mournful whimpers sounded, and the giant beast's limbs began to bend down. With a violent bang, the giant beast fell to the ground, and the next moment a large number of protrusions appeared on the skin of the giant beast's body.

A bunch of violent blue light, like a gushing water column, instantly gushed out from all around the body of the giant beast, and Gene was already standing on the ground.

The howling stopped, and behind him was the giant beast that fell to the ground with a bang. His body exploded from the inside, and the scattered pieces of meat were like stones. After splashing out, they fell to the surroundings and rolled in the mountains. Gene moved quickly. He didn't plan to continue. A large number of creatures around him began to gather with this violent noise.

Gene returned to a mountain peak and looked at the restless creatures in the distance. These things will become a huge threat to the city one day in the future. How they reproduce has been investigated many times, but it has not been figured out.

Only when they gathered together could they be cleared directly. Gene had no idea how many times he had done this kind of clearing. The result was always the same. They would gather again in a short time, and those black and red plants that were afraid of light and could be seen everywhere were all moving towards the Brilliant City.

People living in the warm sunshine can never imagine what kind of world is outside. Perhaps in most people's cognition, the outside is a dead world, but if they see such a vibrant side, they may know that the outside is not dead, but fog.

Gene quietly observed these creatures. Every time he killed them, he always felt a special feeling. They seemed to be made, and they had a very clear purpose.

In the past, there was a very special time when the city was first established. At that time, the forces had basically stabilized and were working for a common goal. At that time, the only farmed meat prevalent in this land was the giant rat. Alienation is not only human, but also animals. However, the intelligence of animals is different from that of humans. Animals cannot control their alienation ability at all. Mutated rats once brought a lot of disasters to humans, and finally they could only kill all animals.

And the rampage of Ikara, in order to continue the human race, animals became the best model. Gene still remembered that there were still many animals before the city was built, but in the end, in order for humans to continue, they had to step on the bones of animals to build the Brilliant City.

Once a species lives alone, it is not far from extinction. Gene turned around and walked slowly. He didn't want to go back to Brilliant City for the time being. He even rejected it a little, or wanted to be quiet. In the past few months since he left, Gene didn't know what happened to Brilliant City, but it was certain that it should have changed again.

"Wait a few days before going back!"

5:11 am

Marcus stood quietly at the edge of a paddock, surrounded by stairs, and in front of him was a circular field with black solidified soil. This place was discovered a few years ago, located under an old factory in the middle 45th area. The factory has now been demolished and built into a building.

Marcus could imagine what this place was used for in the past. A large amount of blood components and human bone and flesh components were detected in the black soil. Now Marcus has moved his research to this place.

Marcus has an extremely important experiment today, but this experiment is too risky. Although it has been tested on some people who are about to die from eating genetically modified food in prison, Marcus feels a little numb when he has to use it on himself now.

Marcus often likes to come to the side of this small arena in the past to think about something. Recently, except for the work of the four departments, he rarely meets anyone and spends every day in this underground.

Everything nowadays is not important to Marcus. What is important is the research in his hands. Using the alienated genes of wild animals to supplement the alienated genes of mutants. Once such research is successful, humans will usher in another possibility of evolution.

Such evolution makes Marcus feel excited. As long as the research can be completed, Marcus plans to leave the city.

Marcus knows very well that this city will eventually be abandoned by the gods one day, and when the gods intend to abandon the city, it will be the day when humans cry. There are countless secrets in the outside world. This is why Marcus wants to leave the city.

Marcus didn't want to see the day when the Brilliant City was destroyed, and he didn't want to continue. I don't know when Marcus started to have very strong doubts about the existence of gods. Marcus has confirmed through research that they are not human beings.

The gods will not allow the existence of rebels. Marcus knew this from the beginning when he entered the Academy of Gods. However, it is impossible to defeat the gods, so Marcus wants to leave.

When he was in the academy, Marcus often went to the principal alone. After hearing some things about the outside world from Gene, Marcus often thought about going to the outside world to see it.

Humans have lived in such a narrow and closed place for too long. Marcus doesn't want to continue according to the gods' wishes. He is anxious and painful every day in this city. All this started from the damn cloning future plan. Many people in the 4th department have become more and more negative in recent years.

Throwing such a cruel thing to the students of the 4th department, Marcus doesn't know what the gods think. He feels angry and unreasonable all the time, so Marcus wants to escape, and if he wants to adapt to everything outside, he must rely on the power of animals.

At the beginning, Marcus's research was just to make humans have stronger immunity, and there are countless animals with much stronger immunity than humans. In his research again and again, Marcus found some directions. Although humans now have mutants, humans have completed their evolution again.

If humans want to become stronger and evolve to the next stage, the evolution of lifespan alone is not enough, and the same is true for physical strength.

Marcus has seen the world outside the barrier, so Marcus knows very well what is going on outside. Why the gods are so anxious to let humans enter the next mechanized era is because the world outside is becoming more and more unstable.

If everyone with an obsession must have one thing to do, Marcus feels that he can do it, and let humans give birth to a new evolutionary direction.

Marcus stood up, and he felt that the anxiety and uneasiness began to dissipate from his mind. The scenes in the future plan of cloning kept emerging in his mind, which was something Marcus didn't want to recall for the rest of his life.

Marcus walked up the stairs step by step and entered a room with many workbenches and animal specimens. Marcus walked to a workbench with a small box on it. The box was filled with water, and a tube of medicine was placed in the water. Marcus took out the tube of cold medicine, and then took out an injection machine and put the tube of medicine in it.

Marcus lifted the sleeve of his left hand. He knew very well that the next experiment would be very dangerous. Although he had made full preparations, some pictures popped up in his mind from time to time. Marcus smiled bitterly. He hated everything in the city more and more, or hated everything about the gods more and more.

"Why do we have to go this far!"

Marcus smiled crazily, and he stabbed the injection machine in his hand into his left arm. As the medicine was injected, Marcus felt a strange feeling.

The body began to have a weak rejection reaction. Marcus knew that he had to rely on his willpower to stay awake.

Gradually, Marcus felt a creepy feeling coming from his left arm. He swallowed and screamed in horror. Marcus' left arm began to change, and black hair grew on it. Marcus swallowed and felt that his entire arm was expanding, and his arm began to become unlike a human.

Marcus smiled, but the next second his head began to feel dizzy. Soon, accompanied by a violent cough, Marcus screamed in pain. He fell to the ground, pressing his arm that was still expanding and growing, and his whole body began to spasm.

One of Marcus' eyes was red, his mouth was slightly open, and saliva kept dripping on the ground. His brain seemed to be invaded by something, and his whole head was stirring. Marcus knew very well what was going on. The body had begun to have an uncontrollable rejection reaction. It was unknown how long it would take for such a rejection reaction to end. The tearing pain began.

"What on earth did you ask us to do! What did you ask us to do?"

Marcus laughed crazily.

5:46 a.m.

Jill helped the drunk Tang Rao to the bed on the second floor. Tang Rao was lying on the bed, looking very happy. Jill planned to clean up the rest room downstairs where they had been drinking all night, and then start to take care of the flowers in the flower house.

"Good job, Jill."

Tang Rao praised. Jill's work has been going smoothly recently, and there have been no incidents of mutants running wild in society. Jill's face was solemn at this time, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to start for a while.

"I have a suggestion, Lord Tang Rao."

Jill said and sat down on the bed. Tang Rao climbed up and pressed her dizzy head.

"Just tell me what you want to say. From last night to now, you still don't want to say it?"

Jill swallowed and then spoke.

"Remember how the city got the life vaccine?"

As soon as Jill finished speaking, Tang Rao understood what Jill wanted to do.

"The problem of mutants going berserk has always been a big problem for the city, and if we can't solve it, mutants will be a big threat to the city in the future, so I propose to use mutants for research, thoroughly crack the mystery of mutants going berserk, and develop drugs that can stabilize mutant genes."

The smile on Tang Rao's face disappeared, blue particles slowly overflowed from her skin, and a strong smell of alcohol instantly filled the room.

"It's really unexpected that you would say such words."

Jill nodded.

"Actually, I have considered a lot of things, Lord Tang Rao. Although this approach is a bit cruel, there will still be a large number of mutants in the city in the future. In order to stabilize these mutants and prevent them from going berserk, this research must be done by someone, and I am willing to take the lead."

Tang Rao shook his head.

"Hasn't that kid Hua Shen already started research?"

Jill shook his head.

"I don't know how long this kind of research will last. Every time a mutant goes berserk, how much harm will it cause to the city. This has been very clear to me since I took over the handling of such incidents. If we can't effectively curb the mutant's berserk, the mutant's berserk in the future will only cause greater harm to the city. I have seen enough of this harm over the years."

"Why do you suddenly want to do this?"

Jill said with a hum.

"Just like what the principal said, someone has to do it."

Tang Rao took out a cigarette and lit it and sighed. She always felt that if she did this, the situation would be very bad.

"There are still 4,987 mutants in prison, and among the criminals in the Barrier Zone, the mutant rate is very high. If you want to do it, you have to do it thoroughly."

Jill stood up. He had thought about this problem for a long time, because he witnessed how the students of the four departments completed the development of the life vaccine in such a fierce struggle with self-guilt.

"Guilt is something that often binds one's own hands and feet. Lord Tang Rao, in fact, after the accident that year, I was thinking about this problem. That incident had a great impact on me. The root cause is that if mutants now have drastic emotional fluctuations, they are likely to go berserk, and mutants who go berserk can only become monsters. The root cause is how to effectively solve the problem of mutants going berserk."

Gill looked at Tang Rao solemnly, bowed and said.

"Lord Tang Rao, I hope you can talk to the other gods. Now the principal is not in the city, I will be responsible for this matter. I will find a way to convince the students of the four departments to directly use some criminal mutants for research. If not, there will be continuous mutant rampages in the future. I have seen enough."

Gill said too much, Tang Rao looked at him in a daze. The child he had raised since childhood has changed a lot now.

"I know, I will call them over now, it will be very cruel, this approach will be for your body and mind."

Gill hummed.

"I don't want any more mutants to die because they can't control themselves."
