This means that after the initial wave of infection killed hundreds of millions of people on the planet, billions more were artificially screened out.
"Initially, the number of people outside the wall was far greater than the number of people inside. In fact, in the beginning, this high wall was not used to defend against bacteria, but against humans themselves."
Chongming said, "With such a large population, and given that the spores weren't as mutated or deadly as they are now at the beginning of the infection, humans initially infected could have survived for years or even decades. From that point on, humans outside the wall and those inside took a different evolutionary path."
Xie Xuan asked Song Zhixian: "So these new humans are different from humans?"
Song Zhixian nodded and then shook his head. "I've seen photos of the first and second generations of new humans before. The first generation, by the end of the infection, was similar to the infected people we see today, while the second generation showed signs of infection right after birth. By the third generation, the infection worsened and the population began to decline. However, by the most recent fourth generation, the infection symptoms in newborns have actually begun to ease, and the natural birth rate has also rebounded."
"This is not good news for people inside the wall," said Ding Qiaoyun.
Before she left the wall, Si Xun showed her some information on the subject and told her that if she met the indigenous people outside the wall, she should try to avoid them and not have any contact with them.
But it is undeniable that the humans outside the wall seem to be on the verge of completing the so-called evolution in the past hundred years, while the ordinary humans inside the wall are still weak and vulnerable.
However, this does not mean that the concept of the ecological organization is correct. It took people outside the wall more than a hundred years and four generations to reach this point, but the ecological organization wants to achieve it overnight, which is simply impossible.
What's more, can the so-called new humans really be called humans?
Ding Qiaoyun couldn't help but look at Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan also asked curiously, "What are the fourth generation of new humans like? Are they roughly similar to me?"
Song Zhixian said: "Sorry, I don't know."
Only then did Xiao Yao ask, "If you count the time, the earliest fourth generation was born twenty or thirty years ago. Didn't you say you were still in contact with the new humans until six years ago?"
Song Zhixian nodded. "I also said that those who have contact with us are all close to the faction inside the wall from the beginning, and the fourth generation of humans have all joined the faction that hates the inside of the wall without exception."
In the sudden silence in the car, Song Zhixian added, "But we generally don't call them hating the factions inside the wall. They call themselves Paradise Lost."
Paradise Lost. This name was familiar to everyone in the car.
When Xie Xuan was inside the wall, she also dealt with Bal, one of their seventy-two seats. Xie Shu was seriously injured by Bal, and Xie Yuheng was forced to stay at her house.
Later, Xie Xuan saw Bal's name on the Ecological Bureau's bounty list.
It was as if there was an invisible thread connecting all of this, the sudden appearance of Paradise Lost and the new humans who had no connection with the inside of the wall.
The new humans who hate the people inside the wall have already infiltrated the wall without their knowledge, and are plotting a conspiracy that they know nothing about.
"There's a mysterious organization inside the wall that takes on all kinds of work, also called Paradise Lost..." Ding Qiaoyun looked at Song Zhixian.
Song Zhixian nodded, "Just as you thought, these two organizations are most likely the same organization."
Xie Xuan thought of the terrifying bull head and the cloak that completely covered Baal's body when she saw him. Now it seems that this is very likely to cover up the infected characteristics of their new humans.
"So..." Xie Xuan said uncertainly, "Someone inside the wall placed an order in Lost Paradise to murder me?"
"It's possible, but not certain," Ding Qiaoyun said. "In addition to completing their employer's orders, Lost Paradise also engages in many organized activities whose significance we currently don't understand."
Yang Jiayue was the person who knew the least about Lost Paradise. Firstly, Noah Technology had not spent much effort on investigating Lost Paradise. Secondly, Xie Yuheng did not think that Lost Paradise was a person worthy of attention in Xie Xuan's affairs.
"Then what should we do now?" Yang Jiayue asked worriedly.
The enemy is in the dark while I am in the light, and we are in someone else's home turf, which can be said to be the most unfavorable situation for them.
"Not much." Xie Xuan said.
Upon hearing this, Yang Jiayue looked around in astonishment, realizing that everyone except her seemed to agree. "But, but this person is so powerful, is it really okay to just leave him alone?"
"We're not just leaving it alone," Ding Qiaoyun said. "We're just waiting for the rabbit. Xie Xuan isn't that easy to kill. One day, the rabbit will show up on its own."
Xie Xuan who suddenly turned into a plant: Thank you so much.
But discussing it further would only add to their troubles. After they exchanged a few words, Xie Xuan said, "Let's go to bed quickly. We have to continue our journey tomorrow."
And if everything goes well, we will be able to reach the C7 base tomorrow.
Several people nodded and said "good night" in unison.
Everyone except Chongming lay back down on their beds, and the lights in the car returned to dim sleeping mode.
But in this silence, Chongming's voice was heard from Xiao Yao's communicator.
"I don't care who you are or what your purpose is, but if you want to hurt Xie Xuan, I will kill you first and then kill the person behind you."
Xiao Yao didn't answer, and didn't even open his eyes.
Who is he? Xiao Yao sometimes pondered this question.
As for killing the people behind him, Xiao Yao felt that Chongming did not have the ability to do so, but maybe Bai Ze and Noah Technology behind Chongming had the ability to do so.
If he killed him, Xiao Yao felt that Chongming would not need to worry about this matter.
He will definitely die before Xie Xuan.
The sun rose as usual the next day. Xie Xuan fell asleep again without dreaming and slept until dawn.
This time she was not the last one to wake up. Song Zhixian was still resting. Last night, Xie Xuan vaguely heard Song Zhixian coughing in her sleep.
Although we don't know to what extent the side effects of his superpowers have developed, but from the information he revealed himself, he has probably accumulated a lot of infection symptoms just from staying outside the wall for so many years.
But Song Zhixian was going to part ways with them today, so Xie Xuan didn't care too much.
During the time she spent in the Ecological Bureau, she had come to realize how fragile human life was in the bureau. It was very likely that a teammate who was chatting and laughing with you one second might become an infected person the next.
Although it sounds cold-blooded, investing too much emotion in the people around her will only make her steps forward more difficult.
And she couldn't stop here.
