"Look!" Lessius pointed at the conclusion excitedly: "The conclusion is out. No enhanced ability has appeared, and it is judged to be an ordinary human being. Neither the father's nor the mother's ability genes have been inherited, and no new abilities have appeared. It has become An ordinary human being." Lessius looked straight at the conclusion, his eyes flickering, "So, our combination failed this time and needs to be destroyed."
"destroy?!"
As Lessius said this, he hurried back to the glass box and pressed a touch button on the panel. Immediately, the cell mass that had become an embryo in the hologram exploded instantly!
There was no sound, but there was a deafening "thumping" sound in my head.
My mind went blank for an instant, leaving only empty, drifting debris in front of me.
My heart instantly trembled because of the scene in front of me.
What on earth is Lysius doing
What on earth is he doing following Cangyu? !
"Only one or two enhanced embryos can appear after every hundred experiments..." Lessius also explained to me excitedly, "The genes of ability users are also divided into dominant and recessive. Sometimes two strong ability users may not be able to combine. People with stronger abilities are more likely to be ordinary people. We call it atavism... "
"What on earth are you doing?!" I finally couldn't help shouting at Lessius.
He was stunned and blinked: "Ability maker, Xiaobing, come here and take a look!" He laughed excitedly, pulled me towards the depths, reached out and slapped the button on the side, and the wall in front of him moved instantly. I opened the door and immediately a vast white warehouse appeared in front of me.
"This is the gene bank of Silvermoon City." Lessius introduced to me excitedly.
The platform under our feet began to hover and stopped in front of a row of tall frozen warehouses. Lessius pressed on the panel of the warehouse in front of him. Immediately, the panel became transparent. I immediately saw the neatly arranged limbs and brains. embryo!
"These are all embryos with evolved abilities." Lessius said excitedly, "Once the number of people in Silvermoon City decreases due to the war, we can extract a batch and put them into the base fluid. It only takes a month!" He He said excitedly, "It only takes a month for them to grow into adults, and the ability users will add memories to them. When they wake up, they will have their own memories and think that they have lived in Silver Moon City since childhood."
I looked at Lessius in surprise, how could he speak so excitedly and excitedly!
He knew how callous his words sounded!
What has humanity become
Became a toy on the production line
Or the chickens and ducks in the farm
Does he know what he is doing
He is doing human experiments!
The embryos have already begun to survive in his hands!
How could it be so cruel? !
I just couldn't believe that Lysius, the good-natured, simple-minded guy I loved, was working as a butcher!
Moreover, he even felt that it was all right!
Those people, those people wake up and think that they grew up in Silver Moon City? ! He didn’t even know that he came out of the training cabin!
Then, how many of the people I see in Silvermoon City who joke with me, eat with me, go to class with me, train with me, and the teenagers who are fighting outside are produced in this way? !
They are sacrificing for Silvermoon City, and their souls are still being experimented on, their children! It became an experiment!
I can't accept it, I can't accept this fact! I cannot accept such a cold experiment.
I immediately turned around and left. I couldn't accept Lessius doing such a thing!
"Xiaobing! What's wrong with you?" Lessius was still confused.
I jumped back into the lab and threw his arm away, looking at him with disappointment and sadness.
He became anxious: "Xiaobing, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly angry?"
I pointed to the incubator: "Think about how you would feel if it were your and my child!"
He was stunned and looked at the incubator blankly, his eyes becoming complicated.
I turned around and left.
I know this is the end of the world, and I know supplies are in short supply.
Perhaps using one month to transform a person from an embryo into an adult is saving resources, or perhaps the selection of embryos is also an attempt to save resources.
However, my world tells me that this is inhumane and this is an insurmountable generation gap.
This generation gap is not in years, not in time, but in space, on the cosmic level!
If Lessius failed during the fright, or if the embryo failed to survive after the fright, or if he consulted the biological parents for their opinions, then I might feel better.
And what I saw was that he smashed the embryo like trash. That kind of ruthlessness and callousness of a scientist on a macro level made me feel chilled.
This is not the Lysius I know.
No... Lessius hasn't changed, it's just that I can't accept it...
When he first saw his second sister, his first reaction was to use her as an experiment...
He injected the second sister with human gene enhancer for the purpose of experiment...
The environment provided by Silvermoon City further amplified his coldness. The rich gene pool allows him to do the experiments he wants to do as much as he wants...
I kept walking in front and he kept following behind.
I ignored him, and he hurriedly chased after me without daring to speak.
I went straight back to my room, my training room, which had become a painting studio, and I turned around and closed the door.
Lessius pushed forward hurriedly: "Xiaobing, you don't have to do it if you don't like it, but from a scientific point of view, it's just a cell mass, not a living body. Moreover, in an apocalyptic environment, ordinary people will Life is harder.”
"I know!" I never thought that one day I would yell at Lessius. My temples were tight and painful, and I squeezed the door tightly. "I will figure it out on my own. In the past two days, I I don’t want to see you…” I slowly closed the door, slowly covering Lessius’s sad and disappointed face.
I know, I know it all.
I know that this is the cruelty of the end of the world. I know that in my world, if there is any problem with the fetus, it can be removed directly.
Is it better to give birth to a child with a mental retardation, or to remove it before it is formed? This is a phenomenon that exists in my world.
But at that time, the doctor will definitely consult the parents, and the parents will also make a difficult decision.
And here, I know that everything is due to the special environment of the end of the world, but I just feel that human life is manufactured like a production line, which makes people's existence lose its emotional meaning. They are the same as tables and chairs. , are produced, selected, and destroyed.
Therefore, in my world, parents have feelings for their fetuses. They feel guilty, sad, and cry for the unborn cells.
This is human beings, we humans have feelings.
