Xia Ji's condition was not good either. He was blind, his hearing was severely damaged, and although his vocal cords could still produce sound, it had become hoarse and unpleasant. He also had burns of varying sizes on his body, but his condition was much better than the two people Li Ke had seen earlier, who were covered in charred wounds.
Although more than half of Xia Ji's body was completely burned and disfigured, fortunately, the remaining condition was enough for Li Ke to recognize him.
Li Ke didn't recognize the remaining two people. Their situation was better than the previous two, but worse than Xia Ji's. One of them had his leg blown off, and Cheng Chenwei actually transplanted an octopus leg into him.
When Li Ke saw this scene, she unconsciously tightened her grip. Cheng Chenwei sensed her murderous aura and quickly explained, "I really am saving him. This octopus has also been through a mining explosion. This person's wound and the octopus's leg wound match perfectly."
I tried fitting him with a prosthesis and also performed a standard transplant, but his wound simply wouldn't allow it. In the end, I combined the two limbs, and so far, they seem to be fused very stably.
As for the screams that Li Ke heard, they came from another living person, and not only did he scream, but he would also occasionally breathe fire.
The cell where this person was placed was also in an extremely low temperature state; only in this way could he survive.
Cheng Chenwei looked at the man, her eyes gleaming: "This person now has a burning heart. When I saw his condition, I felt that this world had truly gone completely mad and demonized. Ms. Li, Li Ke, look, where will humanity go in the future? What kind of development will it have? Can you imagine it? Let's cooperate, and we can work together to witness it!"
Li Ke slapped the other person's enthusiasm away without a trace: "Speak like a human being!"
Cheng Chenwei tasted blood in his mouth. He pressed his tongue against his teeth and spat out the knocked-out teeth. He couldn't beat them with a fight, and they wouldn't listen to reason. He really wanted to shut himself off.
Li Ke asked what exactly happened to this person. Cheng Chenwei held her teeth in her hand, wanting to avoid answering: "A little bit of light energy mineral has been integrated into his heart. It's hard to determine whether he is a human or an energy entity."
When Li Ke saw that this person wasn't breathing fire and screaming, he was hugging the dry ice and black crystal ore next to him, crushing them and stuffing them into his mouth. This behavior was indeed hard to define.
Comparing the three, Xia Ji's situation is actually the best, at least he still has a human form.
Cheng Chenwei had originally decided that if Li Ke didn't ask, he wouldn't say anything more. This woman's grip was too strong, and he really couldn't take it because of his teeth.
But he really couldn't control his desire to share, and subconsciously he regarded Li Ke and these people as his own kind. He really wanted Li Ke to have the same understanding.
"He must have found something to shield himself when the explosion happened. I guess it might be a piece of black crystal, which is a by-product of light energy ore and is currently the only thing that can suppress its properties."
Look at him now, he's blind and deaf, but he's still evolving. In my opinion, he's actually a more advanced species than ordinary humans.
Cheng Chenwei stared intently at Xia Ji, who was navigating and exploring through the obstacles filled with black crystals, and murmured something to herself.
When Li Ke saw that the man was acting strangely again, she knew that this was his illness and that she should be tolerant of him.
"How so?" Li Ke asked.
Cheng Chenwei had been waiting for Li Ke's question, and he answered impatiently: "Do you know? These people were originally mutants whose physical qualities were already superior to those of ordinary people, so when they encounter these major disasters, their chances of survival are much higher than those of ordinary people."
But in my research, I believe that both ordinary people and those who have mutated must break through their limitations as soon as possible, otherwise their ultimate fate will be extinction.
Cheng Chenwei paused habitually, and upon meeting Li Ke's unfriendly gaze, he immediately snapped out of it and hurriedly continued to explain: "Because ordinary people's fertility has encountered extremely serious problems, and as long as they continue to live on this continuously collapsing Earth, there is no cure for these problems."
Similarly, the mutated humans, while seemingly adapted to the harsh climate of Earth, are actually completely unable to reproduce.
We have conducted many experiments on this. The mutants appear to be superior to humans, strong and healthy in all aspects, and no problems can be detected, but they are simply unable to reproduce.
Therefore, their existence is a completely failed advancement, and they are not much more valuable than ordinary people.
But Xia Ji is different. Of course, his body can't reproduce either, but his abilities have materialized. He can directly burn and kill others with his bare hands, and like you, he doesn't have a heartbeat, yet he's perfectly healthy.
Upon hearing this, Li Ke looked at Cheng Chenwei and asked, "What did you say? I don't have any heartbeat fluctuations?"
Cheng Chenwei looked at Li Ke with a probing gaze: "Don't you feel anything? This is really strange. How about I check you out and let you see—ah—I dare not, I won't say anymore."
Li Ke gripped Cheng Chenwei's nape tightly, and for a moment the pain made his head feel like it had been emptied. His face turned from snow-white to red, as if he had just died.
Li Ke, carrying the half-dead Cheng Chenwei, walked to the loudspeaker and called out, "Xia Ji."
The people inside, who were doing obstacle training, immediately stopped moving when they heard the sound amplified dozens of times by the loudspeaker, and tried to figure out the source of the sound, somewhat at a loss.
