110. Finale
The research did not go smoothly at the beginning, and the strange factor could never work on humans.
Just as a nematode cannot control a complex nervous system, a strange factor cannot replace a host with advanced thinking.
It took scientists decades of continuous human experiments to allow the novel factor to evolve and mutate into a virus capable of infecting humans.
They injected this virus into the human body, but no human could resist the strange factor, and all of them exploded and died without exception.
All countries refused to give up. On the surface, they signed an alliance and gave up their research on the strange factor, but they moved the experiments underground.
After a few more years, the experimental subjects in a certain country suddenly mutated.
It became a monster similar to zombies, but far more powerful than zombies. It was like a legendary god, able to fly and hide in the ground, and could do anything. Even guns and fire could not completely destroy it.
Later, the whole world united to secretly kill it, but the chain reaction it caused did not stop.
The strange factor that exploded from its body began to infect other humans, animals, and plants.
The infected became bloodthirsty and cruel, their bodies underwent terrible mutations, and they became beasts that could rival gods but only knew how to kill.
A mouse or a weed can defeat a human army.
The situation got out of control. Humans were unable to control the speed of the strange factor's own mutation and evolution, and the world began to become a hell filled with smoke and gunpowder.
Before this, the orphanage where Su Liu lived was also chosen as an experimental site because it had no power or influence.
Every orphan sent here is injected with the initial version of the strange factor.
If there is a tendency for uncontrolled mutation, they will be taken away and eliminated immediately under the pretext of adoption.
Year after year, only a few children, including Su Liu, were not controlled by the strange factor.
But the accident still happened. When another Down syndrome child who was injected with the virus was sent to the orphanage that night, the child mutated on the spot.
The strange factor that poured out of her body induced the virus in other children to mutate, and brutally killed the unsuspecting dean, teachers, and all volunteers.
Only Su Liu managed to perfectly integrate the strange factor. She ran for her life but still fell on the road and was recovered by the experimenter.
She was immersed in nutrient solution, her memory was erased, her body functions were blocked, and time was frozen.
There are other experimental subjects in the laboratory who are just like her and have a high degree of compatibility with the strange factor.
In the hundred years since humans fought against the mysterious factor, scientists isolated and made vaccines from its bodies and injected them into survivors around the world.
This is also why in the interstellar age, strange factors can easily infect animals and plants, but can only infect humans through egg formation.
Over the next few hundred years, humans developed from Earth to the interstellar space, and the experimental subjects of the same era as Su Liu gradually withered and died. Only she had perfectly integrated with the strange factor and remained vibrant.
The strange factor brought disaster to her, but also brought her to a new era.
All of this was recorded in the Empire's top secret documents, which Victor destroyed after reading them.
There is no experimental subject 89AQ, only a military student, purificationist Su Liu.
This is what he promised Zhang Mingzhu.
During the day, Su Liu was in good spirits and did exercises while standing on the balcony.
Yan Ziyan was applying a facial mask and eye cream nearby, saying, "Winter vacation is almost over, and Xiang'er and Rosa are back to school. I have to go back today and pick them up at the space station."
Su Liu sighed: "I have to stay at the headquarters for a while. I still have a lot of work to deal with. I may not be able to make it to the opening ceremony."
"It's okay. You're more important. But still, take care of yourself. The Big Star Show will be coming up soon after school starts, and as a purifier, you need to be in top form."
"Oh, it's okay. The admiral will find a way."
Speaking of this, Huo Jie said last night that the incident at the Ruins Garden had delayed her from improving her strength.
Before school starts, he will personally take her to the Level VII infected area, kill her way through the lair of alien beasts, and pour high-level crystal cores into her body like water.
Going with the Admiral certainly doesn't put your life in any danger, and it's probably more relaxing than a vacation.
The thought of being alone with Huo Jie for several days made Su Liu feel extremely uneasy.
She watched Yan Ziyan apply layer after layer of cream to her face and asked, "What is this? Is it hydrating or moisturizing or whitening and fragrant?"
Yan Ziyan had a strange expression on her face: "What's wrong with you? Aren't you usually too lazy to even put on a face mask?"
Su Liu finally managed to utter a sentence after a while: "I suddenly want to give my weathered face some encouragement."
Yan Ziyan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Are you in love?"
"……No."
"Don't be ridiculous. Women dress up to please themselves. You, someone who casually dries shit with your bare hands, suddenly become concerned about your image. You must be in love!"
"Really? Can't I just act on a whim?"
Seeing that Su Liu's face was flushed, Yan Ziyan stopped teasing her, for fear that she would do something desperate.
"This bottle is for hydration, this one is for sun protection. This one is for whitening, and this spray is for isolation..."
Su Liu held the pile of bottles and jars that Yan Ziyan threw to him, as if he had found a treasure, and hurried back to his room to tidy them up.
Yan Ziyan took a photo and sent it to the group: "Something's going on."
Rosa replied immediately; "Something's going on."
Lan Xiang'er replied after a while: "Something's going on."
"Are you guys a repeater?" Yan Ziyan typed unhappily, "Let's talk about it when we get back. I'll pick you up directly at the space station."
"Where is Liuliu?" Lan Xianger asked.
"She'll be back to school soon, so let's take care of the farm first."
Yan Ziyan said this and packed up and set off.
The new semester is about to begin, and the Maha students are all on their way back. The entire Sky City is under martial law due to the large population movement, but it is also much more lively.
Bi Yanmian, Fei Yali and others have already returned to school, and Si Mingye also returned to school early after going home.
Planters like Ying Tianqing never left at all. While taking care of the bamboo forest, they also helped Su Liujiao to weed.
The principal and instructors are also preparing for the new semester and are all very busy.
Maha, which had been lifeless because the students were on vacation, became lively again as it welcomed the students in the morning sun.
A few days later, in the morning, Su Liu, carrying a small schoolbag, got on the airship very properly.
Not long after, Huo Jie also arrived.
He was wearing very casual private clothes. After shedding the murderous aura he had when he was wearing a military uniform, he looked more leisurely and noble.
Su Liu was eager to try. "Level VII infected areas are rarely visited, right? So, are there a lot of undiscovered exotic animals and plants?"
"Well," Huo Jie said casually, "If it's not convenient for you to purify it, I'll help you weaken it first."
Su Liu couldn't help but imagine how much he would gain from this trip.
Maybe you can find delicious grapes, sweet passion fruit, or crayfish, king crab...
"Then I'll take them all if I like them!" He filled up the entire airship's warehouse. After all, there weren't many opportunities to hunt with the admiral.
She enthusiastically planned the hunting itinerary, and Huo Jie left all the decisions to her, only responding with a word or two from time to time.
The young girl's youthful vigor infected the admiral's icy coldness, and even the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, with a smile that he himself did not even notice.
When the planet's restricted area filled with red mist appeared in his sight, Su Liu was not afraid at all. With excitement in his heart, he took out the emerald fan and couldn't wait to land.
"Here comes the world's heritage!"
"Don't run around and don't scare the alien species." Huo Jie grabbed her collar and led her into the fog.
A new day has dawned, and the world remains dangerous yet full of vitality.
Even so, mankind will not stop for atonement, survival and continuation.
