[Thanks to "Tianyu Youshen" for the support of the monthly ticket. I have been busy with the holidays at home for the past two days. I finally have time to code today. Thank you for your support~]
What does the past mean
For anyone, the past means the track that has existed, and it is a label and an affirmation. It is the past that gathers into the present and continues into the future.
But if your past is just a bunch of data, a piece of genetic information, then what is the point of such a past. Just like Zero at this moment, when he knew that he was actually a body created by the biological genes of the last era, and that he was not the only body, he was confused.
A person, the reason why he will struggle, work hard, and persist. It is because we know that life is only once, and every minute and every second is precious. But when you know that you are not the only one, but can be replaced, then what's the point of all the hard work and persistence.
When he saw the naked body with the same appearance as himself in the photo, Zero was filled with unspeakable pain. He really wanted to ruin it all and pretend nothing had happened. But he knew that it was just self-deception. For a moment, he even thought about staying in this base and never going out again until he died of old age.
But Beyoncé hugged him, and the woman told Zero with her warmth that he didn't bear these things alone. Beyonce's words deeply touched Zero's heart, she was his beacon, and because of Beyoncé in his life, Zero also had something called "the past". Besides Beyoncé, those familiar faces appeared in front of Zero one by one.
Su, Feng, Berrien, Yeliu, Haiwei, Agatha, Leah... Maybe there are many bodies, but he is the only one who has these memories.
He is Zero, he cannot change his identity as a body, but these people, these memories have become the affirmation of this person Zero. Because of their existence, zero is zero!
Suddenly, Zero rejoiced at the cataclysm. If it weren't for this disaster that baptized the world, I am afraid that Zero would only wake up as a certain body, and then act according to the instructions. In that case, there would be no current zero.
"Thank you, Biss. I'm fine." Ling gently caressed Beyoncé's face with his hand and said softly. At the same time, he decided in his heart that he would take Beyonce away safely no matter what.
Beyoncé saw the brilliance in Zero's eyes again, and she was happy in her heart, knowing that the man had regained her composure. She nodded happily, then thought of something, suddenly held Zero's face seriously, and then kissed him heavily on the lips.
Enthusiastic entanglement.
After a long time, my lips parted. Beyonce panted lightly: "Remember my smell, Zero. As long as you remember, you are Zero, not anything else."
Zero smiled, and said casually, "I'm nothing."
After he finished speaking, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and Beyoncé had already laughed. After laughing for a while, Beyonce covered her stomach and said, "Of course you are not a thing, you are my zero."
"Come on, let's see what Iger* has to say." Zero squeezed Beyoncé's hand, and pulled her back to the podium.
Since the past cannot be changed, let's create the future!
Zero said to himself, looking at the catkin that was tightly held by his hands, Zero decided that he would never let it go!
Returning to the podium again, Zero's hand froze in mid-air for about a second before pressing the play button heavily. This action may be nothing to other people, but to Zero, it is a kind of determination to face his past. No matter how incredible his "past" is, Zero must face it calmly.
The video continues to play.
Iger* showed a regretful expression: "Everything went smoothly, unfortunately, what we touched was God's domain after all. On the thirteenth day after the formation of the gene body, all the bodies suddenly experienced gene collapse. The company in charge Dr. Callahan of this plan can't say why, it seems that there are many delicate data involved. Although in terms of computer simulation, the survival rate of the body should have reached 90%. But it is like a god's prank. , but we hit the remaining 10%.”
"What's it like to watch nearly a thousand corpses turning into minced meat in the culture tank? Anyway, for the next week, every time I see a bacon burger, I feel nauseous. It failed, very A disastrous failure. The death of thousands of bodies means that tens of billions of funds including nearly a hundred days and nights of hard work by all the staff at the base have been scrapped." Iger* shook his head and said: "Fortunately, there is a The body survived, and its life characteristics were very stable, as if it had devoured the vitality of thousands of others of its kind, this body passed through the period of genetic instability with an almost terrifying life force. He survived successfully!"
Zero looked at Beyoncé, showing a strange expression, he pointed at himself and said, "Could it be me?"
"Idiot, who else but you?" Beyoncé smiled and said, "Now you are completely relieved? All the bodies are dead, and only you survive. In a sense, you are also the only one." Yes, irreplaceable."
Zero nodded vigorously.
On the screen, Iger* continued to say: "But after that old bastard Halson knew about this, he insisted through the upper management to send the surviving body to their base. It is said that the body has a weapon that is very similar to a super biological weapon." Gene, the success rate of the transplantation will be very high. I heard that thousands of outstanding fighters from all over the world have been lost in that bastard plan, and now even our only finished product is being taken away. There is really nothing more bastard than this! "
When he said this, Iger* expressed extreme anger, during which he raised his fist and roared more than a few times. But after that, his expression became depressed again, and * smiled bitterly: "But what's the use of saying this now. Well, let's get down to business. After the body was taken away, we have no authority to know what happened to him afterwards. But Kara Dr. Han still tried his best to win a little bit of rights. We took part of the blood from the body to extract the genes that had been stably formed. Dr. Callahan was not ready to give up. He planned to use the genes of the body as the basis to process As well as adding genes from other organisms, trying to cultivate another biological weapon that can be mass-produced. The higher-ups are very supportive of his plan, and additional research funds have been added. But if I knew what would happen in the future, I should have tried my best to stop Kara Dr. John continues to study."
"As I said earlier, the owner of this gene, although the life of the fourth era has the appearance of a human being. As a life of infinite evolution, God knows whether the appearance of the human was evolved by some kind of monster. There is no way to verify this , but I am very responsible to tell you who are watching the video now, what Dr. Callahan’s follow-up research cultivated is not a mass-produced biological weapon, but a completely uncontrollable monster!"
As soon as the screen changed, Iger* inserted another video. In the picture, it seems to be in some kind of world under a microscope. In this world, only one kind of peculiar cell exists. Its shape is constantly changing, sometimes round and sometimes flat. Sometimes it becomes a diamond shape, a triangle shape, or a cuboid shape. Countless spikes will appear on the surface of the cells, or they will turn into a yellow shape. In just a few seconds, the changes in the cells are almost endless and non-repetitive.
A moment later, the cell trembled violently, and then split into two. Two becomes four, four becomes eight, and eight becomes infinity. The cells divide almost infinitely, and finally fill the screen densely. What's even more weird is that these split cells are undergoing different changes, and there is no commonality between them, just like independent objects.
After this scene disappeared, Iger*'s figure appeared on the screen again: "What you saw just now is the gene extracted from the blood collected by Dr. The obtained substance. We call it Z substance, this genetic material only has a thousand sets of memory DNA, and the total amount is only one percent of the body, but it has excellent stability and can survive in almost any carrier."
"Material Z has two characteristics, one is based on thousands of sets of memory DNA, and can evolve correspondingly in response to different environmental stimuli; the second is nearly infinite division, at least discovered by our current measurable means. , it can divide at least one million times. This provides the carrier of Z substance with very weak vitality. As long as one cell remains, the carrier can regenerate infinitely. In theory, this is a very powerful biological weapon Let's imagine, a kind of biological weapon that can evolve according to the stimuli of different environments to adapt to the environment, and is almost unkillable. If it can be mass-produced, then it will definitely be the darling of the battlefield." Iger* Sighing: "This is probably the main reason why the higher-ups decided to increase the funding for Dr. Callaghan's project. They want an army that can be controlled and cannot be killed anyway. Because of this, the original ten units of Z-matter , in less than a month, they successfully cultivated nearly a thousand units. If they hadn't been cultivated so vigorously, perhaps the tragedy that followed would not have happened."
"Yes, tragedy!" Colonel Iger emphasized: "Material Z can't compare with super biological weapons, nor can it match the life of the fourth era, and it can't even compare with human body. But that's also the same as the above abnormal work Compared with ordinary life, it firmly occupies the top of the biological chain. For other ordinary life, it is a disaster. Although we are careful to avoid this disaster, it still happens Now that it has happened, I can't help but wonder if they were watching us when we were watching them outside the tank. Otherwise, how they took that opportunity to cause this disaster."
"That opportunity happened half a year later."
Iger* smiled wryly and said: "Originally, visitors to secret bases like white blood cells are naturally refused. But the problem is that when the prime minister wants to visit our research results, as a subordinate, he naturally has no right to object. On that day, all the base personnel Stop what you are doing, and devote yourself to this extremely important visit. Among these people, Dr. Curd is included."
A photo was inserted on the screen. In the photo was a thin man. The body under the researcher's long coat was so thin that it would be blown away by a gust of wind, and the important thing was that the appearance of this person was somewhat similar to those researchers who attacked Zero.
"During the visit that day, Dr. Codd, who was originally in charge of biological weapons research, also visited Dr. Callahan's biochemical experiment area. During this process, one of the thousands of units of Z substance, somehow, slipped out of the The culture tank leaked out, and Dr. Curd was latent as the carrier. On the third day after the visit, Dr. Curd developed a fever and vomiting. But at that time, the doctors at the base only treated it as an ordinary viral infection , but it was such a negligence that led to a week later, Dr. Curd, who had completely fused with the Z substance, finally launched a massacre on the entire base!" Iger held his head in both hands and said: "Until Dr. We didn’t know that he was “parasitized” until hundreds of thousands of spawn monsters were produced. And after calling up his medical records, we found out that Dr. Curd had shown signs of being parasitized, but we neglected it In the past. When thousands of spawn monsters attacked the researchers of the entire base, the situation had reached an irreparable situation. Based on the danger judgment system set earlier, the main computer of the base activated the emergency defense mechanism. The computer automatically shut down all emergency The entrance and exit, and send a distress signal to the outside world, and we can only rely on the main control room to become the last refuge. Fortunately, this situation has been considered when the base was built, so the main control method is based on It was designed with the concept of a fortress-style building, and routine supplies are also stored on weekdays. We were able to survive in the control room for a while, but rescue was delayed. The base has become a playground for Dr. Curd and his spinoffs. We gradually feel despair."
"Perhaps in order to stimulate us, but also to capture us. Dr. Curd, who has been affected by Z-matter, showed his potential cruel and cunning side. He deliberately leaked some information, letting us know that the base's water circulation unit can still be used. .And in the water cycle machine room, there is still a hidden channel. That is the working channel for repairing the parts, it can go directly to the surface, and it is not within the control range of the main computer. This is almost our only way of life now. When we get After receiving this information, the people in the control room were divided into two factions. I advocated staying in the control room and waiting for the rescue that would arrive at an unknown time. But the other faction advocated taking risks and leaving this hellish base. Iger* shook his head and said: "Those poor people, I tried to dissuade them. This is an extremely simple trap. Even if this passage really existed, Kodd would not let us leave. And these are called human beings. The best among them, those with an average IQ above 160, are as stupid as pigs at this time. Of course, I cannot blame them. Under the pressure of survival, it is understandable that they are willing to take risks. After the final persuasion is ineffective, I can only Give them the few remaining guns and ammunition, and pray that they can leave safely.”
"But the result was obvious. Half an hour after they left the control room, I heard gunshots coming from the depths of the base. Some people even tried to escape back, but they were torn to pieces by Kodd's spawn. Since then , no one is willing to take the risk anymore. Dr. Callahan once said that the substance Z has some serious defects, which is the reason why it has not been applied to the carrier for a long time. But the detailed information is left in the biochemical area, and the outside It's so dangerous, we can't reach the biochemical zone. Otherwise, maybe we can find the weakness of this beast, Kodd." Iger* said to the camera with great pain: "Until today, I am sure there will be no rescue. All Food and water have run out, and my beloved colleagues have turned into beasts in order to survive. I have to end them in order to preserve for them what little dignity they have."
The camera moved to the side, and what appeared on the screen was a scene like hell. Wearing uniforms and people biting each other on the ground, blood left mottled marks on the ground. It's hard to imagine that these beast-like people used to be upper-class figures with decent lives. But now, they have turned into corpse-eating ghosts.
Of course, now they have all turned into corpses.
This is the last picture that Iger* left for Zero and Two.
