The more you say, the more mistakes you make. Since Yin Lin thought so, Yang Cheng didn't deny it, he just nodded.
Yin Lin explained, "Human genes that have been exposed to abnormal solar radiation will undergo certain mutations, which is what those mutated people were just now."
Some mutants can reproduce, but their offspring often exhibit more severe mutations.
This genetic mutation is chaotic and disordered, so they may be able to unlock certain genetic powers, but they usually become half a monster, or even become monsters themselves.
However, genes are amazing. A small percentage of people will follow a magical sequence during the process of genetic mutation. Their bodies will not turn into monsters, but they will awaken powerful abilities.
We call such beings "gene awakeners".
After the tower was opened, we analyzed the gene sequence from the gene awakeners, which enabled us to create gene serums that allow ordinary people who have not experienced radiation to also possess powerful gene abilities.
However, people who gain great power by injecting gene-modifying agents are called gene modifiers. Those who inject first-level agents are first-level modifiers, and they can only become stronger by injecting second-level agents.
But those with genetic awakening are different; they can advance into stronger genetic warriors through combat or desperate struggles, although this process seems extremely difficult.
Yang Cheng nodded naturally.
The Ladon potion he took before seemed to be produced in this world; it was a second-tier potion, and its effects were very strong for Yang Cheng back then.
If I could obtain third- and fourth-tier gene potions in this world, my strength might experience a dramatic increase.
No wonder this world is listed as the first of the Xuan level in the cycle of reincarnation, and its specific level is still unknown. This means that this world may even become a Di level world.
"Why do those mutants identify me as a genetically awakened individual, rather than a genetically modified one?"
Yin Lin said, "Because nine out of ten genetically modified individuals are in the Tower, especially those above the second level."
Some organizations outside the tower also have people who can manufacture gene potions, but they are all extremely crude. Even the first-tier gene potion carries great risks, and the second-tier is already the limit.
In the 343 years since the tower opened, no external force other than the tower itself has been able to produce a Tier 3 gene serum.
When Yin Lin said this, there was a hint of pride in her tone, a recognition of the tower.
Yang Cheng remained noncommittal.
When a group of powerful and wealthy people pooled their resources to build the tower, they deliberately excluded ordinary people. Their purpose was not to preserve the human race, but simply to selfishly seek survival.
Humans in this world are selfish. They lack the courage of Yu the Great in controlling the floods and the determination to overcome nature. They are not even comparable to Noah's Ark.
"You're from the Tower, why did you come all this way? Judging from your equipment, you must have a high status in the Tower, right?"
Yang Cheng floored the accelerator, and the modified war machine was incredibly powerful, easily exceeding 100 km/h even in the desert.
Perhaps because she was certain that Yang Cheng wouldn't use her for a trade, or perhaps out of fear, Yin Lin didn't dare to hide anything and told Yang Cheng everything in detail.
"I am a captain in the Tower Guardian Legion, but I am not actually part of the daily combat system. Instead, I belong to the Tower Research Institute and take orders from the researchers there."
Besides being a soldier in the Guardian Legion, I am also a graduate of the Department of Biological Genetics at Tower University. This time, I entered the Dark Desert under the protection of a combat squad to hunt for samples of some mutated creatures.
Everything was normal until we unexpectedly encountered a mutated earth dragon. The entire team sacrificed themselves to cover me, so I had to hire a mercenary team to escort me back to the tower.
Unexpectedly, they were targeted by Black Jack's mutant henchmen halfway there. Mr. Yang, you already know the rest.
Yang Cheng nodded naturally.
So he's only a part-time researcher; no wonder his combat effectiveness is so weak.
If all the so-called tower soldiers were as delicate as Yin Lin, then Yang Cheng would have planned to use his broadsword to cut through the tower and destroy that damned tower core.
"I've heard of the tower many times, but I've never been there. Is the tower very powerful?"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yang Cheng casually inquired about the details of the tower from Yin Lin while driving.
