Chapter 85 Gene Invasion 11
The two nodded to each other and parted ways at the cave entrance, one on each side.
Lin Xia ran towards the place where the wolf pack had been. The large wild animals there had all been attracted away, and it was relatively quiet now.
After settling the earthen ball, Lin Xia couldn't help but ponder. She didn't need to discern the truth or falsehood in their words, but the current state of affairs on this planet certainly didn't seem like something humans could have created.
If it really was caused by aliens, then will this be the final outcome? She doesn't think so.
But thinking was useless. Lin Xia remained cautious and on guard. The place was indeed much quieter. The disappearance of the large wild beasts made the forest deserted, and people gradually began to come out and move around.
They were searching for the location of a safe base in this area, and Lin Xia had seen from afar that people from the base were making markers indicating the location of the safe zone in the vicinity.
I wonder where these people were hiding before, and how so many of them managed to survive.
The safe passage of the seventh and eighth days did not make Lin Xia lower her guard. The quietness here made her uneasy, and she became even more vigilant.
Early on the ninth day, Lin Xia checked her backup area and suddenly saw an item there: [Spying: Can spy on anything, results vary from person to person, risk is borne by the user. Remaining uses: 1]
This is a loot she seized in the ocean world. This item requires 5,000 survival points to exchange. She was a little doubtful at the time, but now she is quite eager to try it.
What would happen if she used this tool to peek into the causes or consequences of this apocalypse...?
The cause is real, but the consequence is unknown. The chances of successfully uncovering the cause are higher.
If it succeeds, can we try it in the real world? The advantage of trying it here is that all the injuries on my body will be restored to their original state when I leave the world.
Lin Xia thought for a moment and then decided to give it a try.
[Use this item. I want to know the cause of this apocalypse.]
Lin Xia felt her consciousness being instantly pulled into the sky. She was confused for a moment, then saw a spaceship. She followed the pull and entered the spaceship.
The space inside wasn't large. She saw two minotaurs in the cabin and stared at them in surprise.
[Let's stick with this plane; after all, what we have isn't the main direction of evolution.]
But...this plane has humans, and according to the rules...
[What kind of human race? They're just humans still in a primitive stage.]
However, if someone breaks through the blockade here, our clan may face retaliation.
They haven't even begun to sprout, how could they possibly break through the blockade? If you and I don't tell them, who will know? Look at them, guarding a treasure without realizing it, truly pathetic and hateful.
【But...】
Okay, shut up and do as I say!
After saying that, he pressed a button, and something fell from the spaceship. Looking at the map on the machine, the landing point was Antarctica.
[Biological transition spores have been released. Observation has begun. Please control the process.] A mechanical voice sounded on the spaceship.
Can this really lead to the optimal evolutionary direction for our race's genes?
[Definitely! The evolutionary process is accelerating, and each plane only has one evolutionary direction. I believe we'll find it soon.]
[Insufficient intensity. Quickly, release more spores to find the optimal dosage.]
[Already deployed.]
We can't continue introducing them; it will cause genetic damage.
Collapse is also a possible outcome; we're running out of time.
[Warning! Warning! Unidentified mental energy intrusion detected! Warning!]
[Blocked and captured!]
Upon hearing the warning, Lin Xia immediately reversed the direction of the pull and fled, instantly falling towards the ground.
......
Lin Xia sat up abruptly inside the clay ball, panting heavily.
This feeling of mental energy leaving the body is completely different from when I use my mental energy normally. It's as if I'm completely free, like I've been freed from all constraints...
Lin Xia recalled the spying she had once experienced. At that time, she had destroyed the thing that was spying on her, which must have been the mental power of the person who used the "spying" technique.
So, the fact that they saw the person lying on the ground convulsing, their life hanging in the balance, on their ship was the consequence of being discovered.
If I didn't have psychic abilities and had left that spaceship in time, death would have been the price I had to pay.
At that moment, I felt as if I had been spotted immediately, and if I had left any later, I might have actually been caught.
The evolution of those minotaurs is clearly physical, and they obviously do not possess any mental abilities.
If it were the other way around, one's chances of survival would be slim.
This is truly a matter of "risk at your own risk." This item should not be used carelessly, and even if you return to the real world, it's best not to use it.
Suppressing this thought, Lin Xia began to organize the information she had heard.
Everything here was indeed created by aliens, an experiment conducted to find the optimal solution for their own genetic evolution.
One reason for its irony and powerlessness.
This reminded her of a saying on Earth: "If you fall behind, you will be bullied."
Putting aside her emotions, Lin Xia continued her analysis. This planet was actually not the one they had originally chosen for their experiment; it was the minotaur who made the decision.
So, if the experiment ends, will the survivors be silenced? The possibility is extremely high.
Humans? The human race?
"Isn't this the same?" Lin Xia frowned, puzzled. Clearly, the minotaurs thought it was different.
The difference lies in what they mean by "budding" and "breaking the blockade," but what exactly do they mean?
unknown.
Lin Xia dictated these words and then wrote them down in the notebook before feeling relieved. She could think about them and find the truth later.
The most important thing now is how the cover-up will take place.
Lin Xia smiled bitterly. This feeling of being at the mercy of others was truly awful. All her guesses at this moment were just guesses, and she couldn't take any effective precautions.
Just then, Lin Xia heard gunshots, very dense gunshots.
Soon, Lin Xia saw many people fleeing from the direction of the safe zone, screaming and running, followed by crazed mutants, and countless people scattered and fled into the forest.
The mutated human who went berserk was abnormally large, almost twice the height of a normal person, with bulging muscles, a fierce and crazed expression, and an insatiable bloodlust.
Lin Xia saw Sister Xin protecting some ordinary people as they ran towards her, along with many lab technicians in white coats. Meanwhile, another group of normal mutants were holding something that lured away all the crazed mutants.
Those who had escaped were filled with despair and fear, glancing at Sister Xin and the others with deep worry on their faces.
These people stopped here and gathered around one person, who was holding something that seemed to shield them from view. Not a single crazed mutant came over.
Lin Xia looked at the group's positions, clearly distinguishing between ordinary people and mutants.
