() "After merging genes and becoming monsters, will we lose our minds?" Bai Yi said solemnly.
"What do you mean?" Woolf was confused. Hong Qihua and Heloise were thoughtful. The two women were very smart. Bai Yi only had to say one sentence and they could guess the meaning. However, Bai Yi still needs to explain clearly to Woolf.
"It's very important! Martin said that after parasitizing living cells, evolved organisms and humans will merge the genes of other organisms, and then the body shape will change. This change has been confirmed, so there is no need to doubt it. So, is this change just It affects the human body, but our memory and reason still exist. If we lose our reason and completely turn into monsters, we need to make more preparations."
"Probably... no, am I still normal?" Woolf said hesitantly. His current appearance has changed the most. Normally, he would be a complete monster, but it obviously has no impact on his sanity.
"Maybe." Bai Yi shook his head.
lv0: First-born species.
◆Activate.
lv1-1: Gluttonous species.
lv1-2: Violent species.
lv1-3: Sleepy species.
◆Transformation.
lv2: Abnormal species.
"Remember what Martin said at the beginning, this is not a random name, but based on the changes in life forms. In other words, this name is absolutely in line with the physiological changes of evolved organisms at that time. Obviously, we are at lv1-1, The gluttony stage, that is, the gluttonous species. Then the level 1-2 ferocious species... I suspect that it may get out of control." Bai Yi said solemnly.
"Then what should we do? Don't we want to fuse the genes?"
"No, we still have to fuse." Bai Yi shook his head. "Whether you take the initiative or not, according to the powerful activity of living cells, fusion genes are inevitable, so it is best to keep it in your own hands. I raise this question just to prepare you mentally. In addition, if If you don’t lose your mind, another problem will arise.”
"what is the problem?"
"You all know that the experimental subjects Martin mentioned, there is actually another classification. 1. Animals fuse the genes of other creatures and then become monsters. 2. Humans fuse the genes of other creatures and become monsters. And the latter type, if the genes are fused, they will not If we lose our minds, what we will face is an evolved human being who has human memories, but his body becomes a monster." Bai Yi raised two fingers and explained one by one.
"How is that possible!" Woolf said in shock.
"Why is it impossible? Aren't you the one now?" Bai Yi joked.
"This kind of existence still has human memories, but its body is a monster. It has also undergone various human experiments, but we cannot treat them as monsters, because they are our... pioneers. But equally, we We also need to be vigilant about them, because no one knows whether they are really safe." Bai Yi said slightly seriously.
…
Next, a few people had a lot of discussions about what genes to fuse, until suddenly, the daylight in the room suddenly went out. Hong Qihua's computer is still on, but it has been converted to a built-in power supply.
"There's a power outage, it's probably about this time." Several people were stunned for a moment, and then Bai Yi spoke.
"My computer can still be used for a while. I have a solar power bank, but if I lose the Internet, it won't be of much use." Hong Qihua also said.
"It doesn't matter much. There won't be many things that need to be recorded on the computer."
"Since the power is out and it's getting late, everyone should go back to their rooms to rest. We will pass through Otorohanga with Yu Han and the others tomorrow. It seems that there shouldn't be many monsters, and they haven't affected here yet." Bai Yi glanced outside. There was a faint light of fire in the direction of Otorohanga, but no monster came here.
"Oh, by the way, do you think we should tell Yu Han and the others about the active gene fusion?" Bai Yi suddenly said something when they were about to walk out of the room. Woolf and Helois, who had already arrived at the door, looked at Bai Yi in shock. They couldn't have heard wrong.
"What did you say?" Woolf asked in surprise.
"I asked, should we tell Yu Han about their initiative to fuse biological genes." Bai Yi repeated. The faint moonlight shone on Bai Yi's face, and Woolf and the others were sure that Bai Yi was not joking.
"Bai Yi, are you stupid? Didn't you see what Yu Han was doing?" Woolf asked in confusion.
"Yes, of course I know." Bai Yi nodded slightly.
"Yu Han is a very ambitious person. He wants to be the leader of the team. Isn't it the same for people in peacetime? When he finds an opportunity, he will try his best to climb up. In fact, this is not a mistake. If you don't like it, you will have less contact with it in the future. . I say this not because of him, but because of other people. After all, many other people are former friends. Let them know the news, and they will have more power to protect themselves. As for whether they listen or not, that’s up to them. It's not something we can control anymore." Bai Yi explained.
Woolf and Heloise were silent for a while, and then Woolf spoke.
"Bai Yi, you are such a good person!" Woolf said in a pretentious manner.
"Get out!" Bai Yi tried to kick Woolf, but it affected his left shoulder, causing another throbbing pain.
At this time, Woolf had already run out mischievously. Heloise, who was a little nervous at first, couldn't help but laugh when he saw Woolf acting mischievously. At first, she was a little scared when she saw Woolf's dog head, horns, and fat body. But now that she got in touch with them, she realized that Bai Yi, Hong Qihua, and Woolf were all good partners.
They did not answer Bai Yi's words immediately, but were thinking slowly. Bai Yi's suggestion seems silly, but it also represents Bai Yi's character. Bai Yi is right. Many other people are still friends after all, such as Belike Xina and Dai Yuyao. Friendship cannot be given up just because you want to.
Moreover, if Bai Yi was really a selfish person, frankly speaking, would they be willing to stay with him as they are now
For example... Yu Han!
In modern society, people are more free-thinking, but no one will really bow to anyone they meet. If you don't have attractive qualities, how can you win the support of others
————————
It was another night, and everyone did not sleep well. They were too hungry. They obviously ate a lot before falling asleep, but soon their stomachs became empty. Of course, another reason was the nearby Otorohanga, and everyone was worried about one or two monsters rushing over from there. Fortunately, it seems that not many monsters appeared this time. After a night of fear, a group of people finally ushered in the morning.
After getting up in the morning, Bai Yi found that he had changed even more. Momo's face also had tiny fuzz, like butterfly fuzz.
"Dad, I'm getting hairy." Momo said to Bai Yi.
"Yeah, it's okay, it's cuter this way." Bai Yi said with a smile.
"Really?" Momo touched her face and looked curiously at the mirror. In Momo's simple heart, she didn't quite understand the meaning of monsters. At this time, Shapi, who had rested all night, stood up on his own and called out to Bai Yi and Momo. As soon as Momo heard Shapi's cry, she immediately came back to her senses and looked extremely surprised.
"Sharpi, are you okay?" Momo ran over happily.
Bai Yi looked at Shapi. The wound had begun to close, and his life was no longer in danger... What a powerful living cell!
When Bai Yi brought Momo out, he realized that Belekshina was a little secretive. Bai Yi took a closer look and realized that Belekshina's appearance had also changed. Two short tentacles appeared on her forehead, and her face began to turn khaki. Bai Yi wasn't sure what kind of creature's genes Belekshina was fused with, but with that fat body, it was obviously even less beautiful... or ugly.
"Mole crickets, locusts, some of the insects that bit Belekshina on the road." Hong Qihua whispered as Bai Yi walked by.
Obviously, Belikeshina's changes confirmed Bai Yi and Hong Qihua's concerns last night. The vitality of living cells is so powerful that some trivial contact may fuse the genes of certain organisms. And besides turning humans into monsters, many of these genes do not bring great strength to humans.
Bai Yi asked last night whether he should tell Yu Han about their initiative to fuse genes. Although Woolf and Hong Qihua did not object, their mischievous behavior made it difficult to say it openly. Afterwards, Bai Yi thought about it for a while, and still felt that it would be better to hide the news for the time being.
"Would you like to get something to eat first?" Yu Han said, not asking.
"Of course!" Bai Yi nodded. One night, I was extremely hungry. The hunger during the binge eating period cannot be described in words.
When they heard that food was being prepared, everyone got busy and took out the ingredients from the car. After an hour of busy work, everyone was finally 80% full. After eating this time, more than half of what seemed to be a lot of food was eaten, and it seemed that the next meal would not be enough.
Seeing such a situation, although they already knew the reason, everyone was still shocked by Shiyu during the binge eating period.
"Let's go!" Bai Yi said.
After getting in the car, Bai Yi found Wolf walking over holding two steel bars. Both bars were about the thickness of a small arm and had threads wrapped around them, the kind used for piling on construction sites.
"found?"
"Well, I just found it. I don't know what I will encounter in the city. This thing can be used as a weapon." Wolf said, throwing the steel bar on the car, and then started the car.
Bai Yi nodded, and then began to sort out a pistol. This pistol was snatched from the hands of the scumbag gangsters in Te Awamatu yesterday. It didn't have many bullets, but it could be used several times. Although, Bai Yi didn't think that this kind of pistol could cause much damage to those huge monsters unless it hit a vital point.
"This thing is probably indestructible to the demonic snake." Wulf said, obviously thinking the same thing as Bai Yi.
"Yeah, but it's better than nothing." Bai Yi nodded.
…
Woolf started the car and drove forward. Others followed one after another, and a group of people headed towards the urban area of Otorohanga.
