Inside The Black Mist

Chapter 1263: Genetic optimization

Views:

Coming out of the gap and walking up the corridor, Tianyang saw at first glance a bloodstain on the left wall that had already turned black. Just below the bloodstain, he saw a severed finger.

Judging from the cross-section marks on the finger, it seemed to have been bitten off by something.

Looking at this corridor again, it is badly damaged, with various cracks on the ground and deep bullet holes. It seems that a fierce battle has taken place here.

Tianyang walked along the way and gradually found some things, such as blood-stained shoes, a pale ear, tangled hair, etc. .

Soon he reached the end and looked towards the stairs, wondering where the humanoid spider had gone.

He often looked down the stairs and found that they were blocked by debris, so Tianyang walked upstairs.

Arriving at the upper floor, coming out from the stairs, there is a rather long corridor. The floor is full of debris. A light tube is hanging down, connected by an electric wire, and the light flickers from time to time.

On the left side of the corridor are houses, and on the right side you can see the scene outside the building. Tianyang looked downstairs and saw a dark street below with street lights occasionally on and a faint mist floating on the street.

From time to time, some dark shadows passed by under the light, and it was hard to tell whether they were people or something else.

As for the sky.

The sky was completely dark, with no moonlight or starlight. There was nothing but a deep darkness, as if someone had covered the sky with a black curtain.

Going further, Tianyang saw a poster on the wall with some words written on it that he couldn't understand, but because he was in a dream, he could understand its meaning.

'True Love Drama Club... ... A Song of Phoenix Arrives... ... A Rage Kills a Beauty... ... Starring Lin Xiaohong... .'

Below is a photo. The woman in the photo is the one Tianyang saw before, wearing gorgeous stage costume.

"Drama Club? Feng Laiyi?"

Tianyang shook his head, not understanding the meaning of these words. He leaned forward and found a door open.

Pushing open the door, I saw a dim living room. There was a square machine with a lit screen. A video was playing on it and sound could be heard coming from the machine's speakers.

"The global environment is getting worse. Our city has not seen the sun for more than 30 days. The nights have become particularly long, which has caused a sharp increase in crime rates. Yesterday alone, there were 127 robberies, 37 injuries and more than 200 thefts."

"We are here to appeal to the citizens to remain restrained and to trust the country. After the cold winter, there will be a warm spring. Come on, everyone..."

Tianyang walked forward and saw that on the table in front of him, someone had nailed a large piece of paper with a knife used to peel fruit. On the table, there was also an ashtray with so many cigarette butts in it that they could form a small mountain.

On the slightly yellowed paper, Tianyang saw a few big red words at first glance: Tangjin Daily.

Below, someone drew a big circle with a red pen, and inside the red circle were long paragraphs of text.

'... ... ..The nights are getting longer and longer, and the impact that comes with it is huge and severe. This impact is not only reflected in the destruction of order, but more in the changes in the environment. Some experts point out that if the sun disappears completely, mankind will usher in a long dark age.'

'... ... ..Experts and scholars predict that in the future there will be food shortages, water scarcity, cold weather,

Bacteria and viruses will multiply in large numbers. Whether humans can survive this dark age is completely unknown. They pointed out that the genetic optimization plan should be put back on the agenda.'

'... ... ..The gene optimization plan was proposed by Professor Tang Qingli, a Chinese biologist, half a century ago. It was a bold experimental plan that could even challenge human ethics. At that time, Professor Tang Qingli believed that excessive exploitation of natural resources by humans would lead to irresistible disasters. This argument was sneered at by people at the time, but it was unexpected that only half a century later, the world has changed dramatically, and the scientific community has reopened the plan that was labeled as taboo and started to discuss whether it is feasible. '

"I believe that many citizens are unfamiliar with the 'Gene Optimization Program', so I will briefly explain it to you. At that time, Professor Tang Qingli believed that the biological form of humans was too fragile, and once the natural environment changed, humans would experience a large number of extinction events."

'The reason for this is that our genes have not evolved for a long time. Therefore, Professor Tang Qingli believes that perhaps we should use genetic technology to artificially force human genes to begin evolving so that they can adapt to various natural disasters that may occur in the future.'

'During polar research, scientists discovered some insects hundreds of millions of years old in ancient ice. By thawing them, they found that these insects still had life activities, and some of them even came back to life, but they were no longer adapted to the current atmospheric environment and died soon after coming back to life.'

'But it is not difficult to see that insects have better environmental adaptability than humans. Therefore, Professor Tang Qingli put forward a point of view. He believes that we can write into the genes of insects to change the life form of humans, so that we have tenacious vitality and excellent adaptability. This is the gene optimization plan. '

'When this plan was proposed, Professor Tang Qingli was criticized, but now it seems that this plan may save mankind, allowing us to survive in the dark ages and wait for the dawn.'

'At present, no less than 100 research bases have been opened across the country, and a large number of volunteers have been recruited from the public. We hope to achieve universal gene optimization as soon as possible, so that we will have the qualifications to challenge the new era.'

... ... ... ..

"Gene optimization plan, writing into the genes of insects, so that humans can have a better life form?"

After reading the information on the paper, Tian Yang couldn't help but think of the humanoid spider: "Could it be that this is the result of genetic optimization? Can something like that still be called a human?"

"So, if this world becomes a rebellion, the Black People should be a combination of humans and insects, right?"

At this time, Tianyang suddenly sneezed.

He was stunned for a moment, and felt his nose itchy and his forehead slightly hot, as if he was sick!

Why would you get sick for no reason

Suddenly, he felt like he was being watched and immediately turned his head to look. In a corridor deep in the living room, in the darkness, Tianyang saw a pretty female face.

The woman was spewing out a stream of green and yellow smoke from her beautiful lips.

Is there a problem with smoke

Tianyang immediately retreated out of the room. After he left the room and looked into the living room, he saw a shadow jumping out from the dim corridor.

It was a monster with a woman's face, long hair, and a body like a cicada. On its open wings, there were faces of men, women, old people, and children.

It uses four hands and two feet to

Crawling on the ground, as if hunting Tianyang.

Tianyang groaned, first kicked out a chair next to him and smashed it on the human-cicada, then raised his hand and tried to grab the human-cicada. He activated his essence and used "War-Invasion".

The monster came to the door, and the woman opened her mouth again to spray out the green-yellow smoke, but nothing came out. Instead, Tianyang stretched out his hand and pressed it, and green-yellow smoke immediately rose around the monster. In the smoke, it turned around and flapped its wings, but it couldn't fly out.

Finally, its body began to sizzle, rot, and ooze pus. After a moment, it lay unable to move on the ground, but it was not dead yet, thanks to the insect's tenacious vitality.

You should know that insects like cicadas can stay in the soil for several years or even more than ten years during the larval stage, which shows how strong their vitality is.

Tianyang looked at his hand, and sure enough, the essence could be used, and the essence of "War-Invasion" was very domineering, able to seize the opponent's ability for his own use.

In the current environment, it is undoubtedly a powerful weapon.

"Cough cough cough" Tianyang started coughing. He found that his "illness" did not disappear, but instead had a tendency to worsen. Even though he had killed the human cicada, it did not have any beneficial effect on his "illness".

At this moment, a slightly cool palm was pressed on Tianyang's forehead, and as the hand passed over, all of Tianyang's discomfort symptoms disappeared.

Tianyang looked and saw Qingluan, holding a black umbrella and wearing a plain white dress, had arrived at some point.

"You..." Tianyang looked at her in surprise.

Even though the two were not far apart, Tianyang still couldn't see the specific appearance of the Dream Goddess. He only knew that she was a very beautiful woman.

"I've gotten rid of Ari for now."

Qing Luan said softly: "Raise your hands."

Tianyang didn't know what she was going to do, but he still raised his hand. He saw Qingluan stretch out her hand and wipe it. Tianyang's hand sank and the wild fire appeared in his hand again.

"This is a weapon that I constructed using my power and based on your memory. It will not be distorted or taken away by Ahri, so you can use it with confidence."

Tianyang was delighted. With the "Wild Fire" in his hand, which would not be distorted or deprived of him, he would be able to fight against A'li again.

"only... "

Qingluan held the umbrella in both hands and sighed softly: "Even so, it will be difficult for you to defeat A-Li. She has most of the power. Her influence on Xingdu and the Endless Labyrinth is greater than mine."

"If you want, I can send you away before she finds you. But I will try my best to look for your other companion, but I can't guarantee that I will find him."

Tianyang put Huanghuo on his shoulder and said, "Master Qingluan, can you find A'li?"

The woman holding the umbrella was startled: "Of course, we are naturally connected, but I can block this connection, otherwise she would have found me long ago."

"She was able to find me this time because she used you. You became her beacon, her guide. She must have marked you, so when I approached you, she only needed to find you to see me."

Tian Yang nodded and said, "Then please take me to find Ah Li. This time, it's my turn to hunt her!"

The woman, whose face could not be seen clearly, was visibly stunned, and then asked, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
