Non-human Gene Complex

How could Lan Mu admit that he was deceived? So we must insist that the other party begged me to come.

However, Themis was also very stubborn, insisting that Lan Mu chose to save people by himself.

The two of them froze here for a long time, just when Lan Mu was about to leave.

An old voice suddenly sounded from a speaker below the screen, speaking in American English.

"Okay, Themis. Didn't you send someone to inform him in the hope that he could come to the moon?"

Themis said calmly: "No one asked him to come, he came by himself."

Lan Mu asked, "Who are you?"

The old voice said: "You can call me off, Your Excellency Gabriel."

"You just broke?" Lan Mu said.

With a broken laugh, "You know me?"

"Of course, Gaia is already my genus..." Lan Mu said, in fact, he knew it earlier, this old Chinese man was the first leader-level figure he knew.

Ignoring Gaia's situation, he still smiled and said: "Although this is against our principles, protecting human beings is our common goal, Your Excellency Gabriel."

Lan Mu said: "Yes, for the sake of human beings, I condescend to cooperate with you. I just hope that you will not drag me down when I destroy the Zerg. But you should be clear that cooperation is only until the Zerg is extinct."

After the Zerg is destroyed, it will be Angel's next turn. CANC and Lan Mu must have a battle. This is a matter of position.

Everyone on both sides knew about this situation, and Duan and Themis were even mentally prepared to face the destruction of the organization.

Duan smiled and said: "As long as the Zerg can be eliminated, CANC and its accompanying funeral are also acceptable."

...

The back of the moon cannot be observed from the earth. Even if it can be observed, ordinary people have no idea what is there.

The whole moon radiates a strange light, which casts a false image on the earth. In the telescope of the earthlings, the moon is eternal.

However, in fact, hundreds of space bases are built on the moon, and tens of thousands of satellites are spread over the moon.

There are two huge space stations at a distance of 3,000 kilometers from the lunar surface, and there are thousands of space shuttles and unmanned probes patrolling for a long time.

Even in the invisible underground, there are huge defense facilities against the Zerg, which is the first line of defense.

The battle between humans and Zerg never ceases for a moment. From the underground to the surface of the moon, and then to the high altitude, there are three warning belts: yellow warning belt, orange warning belt and red warning belt.

In fact, there is another layer of extra-atmospheric interception on the earth. Once this last line of defense is broken, the battlefield will continue to the earth, and CANC will be powerless at that time.

Under this passive defense, too many people have died in the past 40 years. They also thought about completely eradicating the Zerg, but the best result was only a breakthrough to the core lair 150 kilometers below the moon, the distance calculated There are still 800 kilometers, which is a desperate distance.

"Who would have thought that an organization built such a magnificent position on the moon, enough to shame all countries."

When Lan Mu came to the Lunar 1 space station, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

After learning the detailed conditions of the moon from Duan Zuo's mouth, he finally decided to kill the insects in advance.

This is a war, and every day it lasts, many more people will die.

Looking at the surface of the moon, there are all kinds of strange bugs gushing out from time to time, big and small, impacting in various directions. However, the space station, satellites, and spacecraft launch lethal weapons immediately, but they are reflected or simply absorbed. Once this situation was discovered, the attack stopped, and instead a group of astronauts attacked with all kinds of shiny fantasy weapons, killing and wounding the Zerg in large numbers.

Some of this group of people don't even need to wear spacesuits, but are exposed in space directly wearing armor.

Needless to say, it must be a special effect of a certain containment, allowing the human body to be directly exposed to the space environment.

Seeing that people killed the tide-like insect swarm, they retreated to their respective positions without chasing them.

"It seems that you can easily resist for the time being." Lan Mu said.

Themis appeared on the side screen and said: "No, this is just before a large-scale attack, in order to consume our weapon reserves first, let thousands of bugs launch a suicide charge. When the real attack comes, the whole Bugs will pop up almost everywhere on the moon. There are various types of troops, some are dedicated to destroying heavy weapons, some are dedicated to self-explosive shock formations, and some are designed to defend against energy attacks and absorb damage along the way... Whenever that time comes, our manpower will be very serious. Insufficient, you have to do your best, and it is possible to repel them by sacrificing a lot of people."

Lan Mu couldn't help asking: "Don't you have a way to completely eliminate the bugs?"

Themis appeared on the side screen and said, "No."

"Sixteen containers were used successively to deal with the bugs, but all of them failed in the end."

"Whether it's a liquid that dissolves all life on Earth, or a painting that makes anyone fall asleep looking at it, or a doom doll that randomly explodes objects around it..."

Themis told Lan Mu about the evolution history of the Zerg, in fact, he was saying how much their resistance has fed the Zerg for so many years!

Among the many collections contained in CANC, only a very small number can kill the insect swarm in large quantities, but that's all. The characteristics of these contained objects have been adapted to them later.

Various methods of killing insects have allowed the Zerg to evolve in almost all directions. They have hollowed out the moon and devoured countless resources.

However, being able to resist for so long shows that some of their contents are still useful, and the most useful of them is the 'fantasy right hand'.

It was a prosthetic limb of unknown material and indestructible. It will automatically adjust the size and thickness according to the body of the owner who loads it, and it can be used like a real hand when it is installed on a broken arm.

And the most astonishing thing about it is that it can reach into the computer screen, TV screen, or even the big movie screen. If there are animations, movies and other works playing there, this hand can put the supernatural items that are purely fantasy Take it out, and the show will continue to play as usual, and it will not have any impact.

However, it is a pity that it can only pick up things like artifacts and magic props, and anything that touches science fiction cannot be picked up. Moreover, the length of the prosthesis is limited, and the things to be picked should not be too large, otherwise they will not be able to be pinched.

After the supernatural item is materialized, its power is greatly weakened, and its duration is limited. CANC once made a special animation, just to create an artifact that was designed to kill the Zerg. Of course, the result was unsatisfactory. The effect was severely cut, and finally the Zerg adapted. But even so, such derivatives also provide CANC with a variety of means to fight against the enemy, and there are constantly new ways to restrain the Zerg. It is precisely by relying on the right hand of fantasy that the lunar defense line has persisted until today.

The more Lan Mu listened, the more he felt something was wrong. CANC has a containment that can manifest fantasy weapons. He knows it, and he has seen it more than once. It is very powerful!

But from the information provided by Gaia, it is something like a 3D printer, not a prosthesis.

It was impossible for Gaia to deceive Lan Mu at the time, so either Themis lied, or Gaia was deceived.

"Themis, as I said, Gaia is now my god, don't try to deceive me." Lan Mu said.

Themis said calmly: "I think what Gaia told you is a printer, right? The side effect is to absorb human's fantasy ability..."

Lan Mu nodded and said, "That's right...you lied to Gaia, right?"

Themis said: "We did deceive Gaia, because Lingshi, the user of the fantasy right hand, is Gaia's uncle, and he has the right to hide the truth from his only relative."

"I remember Gaia was an orphan..."

"Her parents died in a shelter accident, and it was she who became an orphan. We brought the daughter of sister Lingshi into the organization, and raised her as an interpreter since she was a child. Lingba became her mentor."

Lan Mu asked: "Then what truth is there to hide?"

"The side effect of the right hand of fantasy used to be the ability to absorb fantasy. Do you know what that means? If it is abused for a long time, it will make all mankind lose innovation, which is equivalent to locking the future of mankind... Do you think we will abuse this containment? ?”

Lan Mu understood it as soon as he heard it, but what was once?

"Can the side effects be changed?"

Themis said sadly: "Human imagination is a kind of wealth. If you want to get fantasy weapons, you have to pay for this kind of wealth. But this is not absolute. The owner of the prosthesis can turn off this payment mechanism and switch And accept the punishment for reneging on debt!"

Lan Mu understands that this containment can just renege on the debt, but in fact it just converts the cost of side effects into another price.

"What kind of punishment?" he asked.

Themis said: "The punishment for repudiation is the torment of the soul, which breaks out intermittently for a period of time. If you renege on your debts many times, the torment will increase! The duration will also be prolonged! This is a super pain that directly affects the depths of the soul. There is no way to relieve this pain. It is more terrifying than any physical pain. Ordinary people can’t stand it for ten seconds. The pain is so painful. In our organization, a total of nine interpreter candidates have used it. Except for Zero Ten, the highest record holders persisted for half a month and then gave up, enduring a total of two hours."

Lan Mu said: "Giving up is..."

"Suicide. Once the prosthesis is fused to the body, it cannot be disassembled, except by death. And the pain of the soul is not fatal, it does not even cause trauma to the body, it is just a kind of torture, enough to destroy the will of the strongest fighter, and almost everyone succumbs to This pain." Themis said calmly, although what he showed was only a cold image, but he was obviously very painful.

Lan Mu couldn't help asking: "Gaia's uncle... How long has he persisted?"

Themis said solemnly: "Thirty-nine years and eleven months, a total of 4,579 hours of endurance, this record is still increasing, and I have not given up so far... It is the existence of Zero Ten that makes 'all The word 'almost' is added to the phrase 'all men succumb to this pain'."

"..."

Lan Mu was silent. Of course he was aware of the torment of soul pain. Balrog and Bai Ze had it in their soul contract. As the soul sold to Balrog, he could launch soul torment on the contracted object at any time.

This pain is not fatal, it does not really hurt, but it can easily break the victim's will.

The pain that Bai Ze suffered before was not at the highest level, even so, he couldn't stand it at all, and it broke him down in a few seconds.

Lan Mu could hardly imagine how Zero Ten got here in the past forty years. As he used his imaginary right hand more often, the pain in the later period was magnified to the extent that it was frightening to imagine, and the endurance time was also greatly prolonged.

With the accumulation of forty years, every time this kind of pain erupts in the future, it will be a hellish torture.

"Is this still human? What kind of willpower made him endure until now?"

In order not to let humans lose their imagination and have the strength to resist the Zerg, there are only two consequences of using it. One is the method of taking turns to sacrifice, in which people borrow money without fear, then commit suicide, make up for the next one, and commit suicide again... The other method is like this, with willpower resistance.

Zero Ten chose the latter, and endured all the costs alone, and persisted for forty years.

Lan Mu asked himself, he couldn't do it. Especially when there is no hope for this kind of suffering, it is easier for people to give up.

"Human beings can always create miracles..."

"It is necessary to meet this Zero Ten."
