I give the world destruction and rebirth
Chapter 720: Gluttony brings progress
In NC-13, as each shelter carried out official or private exploration of the earth's surface, those 'human groups' who survived outside the shelter system for various reasons after the Apocalypse were gradually exposed to the world. before.
Although their number is rare, they do exist. They tenaciously survived the apocalypse and the big storm, surviving like rats and maggots in the corners outside the main body of civilization.
Some of these people were the lucky ones who survived the Apocalypse simply by luck, while others had accidents in their shelters and had to leave the shelters to survive.
As the influence of the big storm gradually weakened, the adventurers in the shelter continued to appear on the surface. Some of the survivors finally returned to the shelter and started a new life, while some became full enemies of mankind.
Wu Qianying was awakened in the middle of NC-13 and launched a new round of research on surface humans.
Because according to normal logic, these people would not survive at all, but not only did these people survive, but most of them developed benign genetic mutations.
They have either evolved some kind of self-healing ability similar to the [distortion recovery] ability, or they have acquired other survival abilities suitable for their environment.
For example, the expedition team of Vault 226 discovered a survivor village built in a seaside cave in the coastal area. These surface survivors had gills growing on their faces, webbed fingers, and their skin became more resilient, allowing them to Able to dive deeper into the sea to obtain food.
The main entrances and exits of the cave are all below the water level, and there are only a few naturally formed, winding vents used for ventilation. Relying on the seawater's weakening of big storms, this small village built by survivors even existed in the past. Thirteen years saw positive population growth.
The encounter with them in Shelter 226 was completely accidental. The expedition team from the shelter set out eastward to get closer to the coastline to obtain seawater samples. As a result, the sampling team fished out a 'murloc' who was knocked unconscious by the waves on the cliff. .
Now these fish-men have become Wu Qianying's main research direction, because compared with other scattered surface survivors, the number of these human survivors named fish-men is relatively large. Their original population was sixty Between the two of them, the population born after the New Hope Era is twenty-nine.
That's a lot, especially given the current environment.
What puzzles Wu Qianying is that human genes have been extremely stable over the past thousands of years, and even the expression of a small dominant gene such as skin color takes thousands of years to evolve.
In the past thirteen years, human beings on the surface have undergone all kinds of strange changes according to local conditions, as if they have entered a time and space tunnel.
Even a stubborn person like Tang Ji should know that superhuman beings, especially the Seven Deadly Sins, must have an unshirkable responsibility in this matter.
Even further, when the big storm began to sweep across the world, several of the Seven Deadly Sins, including Mikkelsen, were sealed in the shelter and unable to move, while Envy traveled far around the moon and reported their location to Mikkelsen every day. The Seven Deadly Sins that can affect the progress of human evolution on a global scale can be counted with two fingers——
Rage and gluttony.
Vault No. 226, like other numbered sanctuaries, is equipped with a complete biochemical laboratory. After obtaining biological samples from fishmen, they conducted a simple test and found something very interesting.
These fishmen are Ganges people, or they have Ganges blood, or to put it more simply, most of these people are refugees who smuggled over from the Ganges before the Apocalypse.
Because the two parties were very cautious in contacting each other, and in the only two contacts they used Federation language, the expedition team of Vault 226 did not realize that Federation language was not the native language of the fishman tribe.
The current common view in Vault Zero is that the Ganges area was completely and deeply contaminated by biological and chemical weapons during the war. Those Ganges people who were not infected with the Ganges virus were themselves carriers of the virus, but the virus did not show up in them. It's just effective.
But the gluttony cells themselves have pervaded every Ganges person.
Or to expand this concept a bit, before the Apocalypse, one in every five people in human civilization may have gluttony cells.
These allogeneic cells themselves will not produce any rejection reaction, and will also actively play a role when the carrier is injured, allowing the wound to heal faster and even making the carrier stronger.
However, no matter how beneficial these gluttonous cells are to the individual, the essence of their existence is still to turn the carrier into a part of gluttony when the number is sufficient.
After the Apocalypse, a large number of carriers carrying gluttony cells were eliminated. Based on the survival instinct of gluttony, those carriers that did not lose vital signs became even more valuable.
Therefore, these gluttonous cells actively play a role in accelerating human evolution in an objective sense, allowing them to survive in various extreme environments.
Wu Qianying could not count how many survivors were outside the shelter, but if the factors of gluttonous cells were taken into account, this number must be far higher than Mikkelsen expected.
As for whether there are player lurkers among these surface survivors, Wu Qianying doesn't know. This is a headache for Mikkelsen.
Mikkelsen's attitude on this matter is completely predictable. When he first prepared the Apocalypse Day plan, he never thought about its success. Under the cover of the shelter, things like big purges have always been successful. The choice between zero and countless times.
If it weren't for the interference of the big storm, Mikkelsen might have started cleaning these surface survivors by now.
He is not a racist and has no discrimination against these mutants. He just discriminates against all unexpected factors that are not part of his plan.
There is no role for these surface survivors in Mikkelsen's plan, so he doesn't care even if these people have no physical defects and are all pure human beings.
He is just waiting for the storm to subside further so that satellites and space-based weapons can be put into use again.
At this time, Anthony had also been resting in the Palm Springs shelter for a month. Compared with those shelters in Night City, this place was peaceful.
It is not a numbered shelter, but it is also an official shelter. There are less than 6,000 people in the entire shelter. There is a clear division of labor among each other. Its supervisors manage the place in an orderly manner, except for one thing.
"Mr. Anthony, too many superhuman children have been born in our shelters. Their parents are completely unable to take care of them, and we have no dormant chambers available. Can you please help and ask which shelter is willing to help take them in?" ?" The supervisor looked at Anthony with some embarrassment.
