Fortunately, I'm a Giant of Light

She asked.

"just!"

Zion said his name.

"just?"

She learned everything from voice to voice.

--All right.

Zion glanced at the desk next to him, walked over to pick up the pen and paper on the table, and wrote in his broken foreign language:

[I can't speak.who are you?What's going on here? 】

She reloaded her pistol and said:

"My name is (Aya Brea)...I can't explain everything here just yet. Sorry—"

Gunshots were heard in the distance, so Aya immediately ignored Zion and ran over there.

"The evil result of the Prometheus project! Sister, mother..."

She pursed her lips.

Zion was at a loss, and was tickled by curiosity, so he chased after him directly.

The fire destroyed a flight of stairs.Aya jumped straight down, while he turned a corner and jumped down in a place where no one was around.

It was a baby who was born through the mother's womb of the human body and absorbed all the nutrients of the human body, standing in the center of that layer.

"How lucky you are to witness the dawn of a new era! Few are so lucky to face turbulent changes in which new things wipe out old things!"

Somehow, it was extremely intelligent at the moment of birth, and grew to adult size in a few breaths.

And she looks very similar to Aya, so she is a beautiful woman, graceful in every move.

Only the voice is between male and female, which makes Zion feel sick.

Zion stood behind the empty door, watching the scene inside through the crack of the door.

He heard the freak inside say:

"When you were weak single-celled creatures, my ancestors were lurking among you. Later, there were fish in the sea, monkeys in the trees, and then the woman you named Lucy. You Guessing from my mother that humans originated in Africa, but she knows it is wrong because she has seen it all! Human!"

Lucy is an ancient human fossil found in East Africa. It is considered to be one of the ancestors of human beings and is an important basis for the theory of human origin in Africa.

It talked and laughed, and faced the shooting of police officers at all levels without fear.

With a scream, several police officers with guns suddenly started to spontaneously ignite.

"During the era of the extinction of dinosaurs, my mother thought that she would perish along with all creatures in the world. Fortunately, your ancestors survived. Even today, you have developed the wisdom to study my mother. I want to thank you for your research, otherwise she would not be fully awakened, and I, who is now perfect, would not be able to be born."

Countless memories surged from the depths of her inheritance, making him more and more contemptuous of weak creatures like humans.She was born on the basis of human beings, but because of her essence, she has gained stronger and higher abilities.

The abundant knowledge obtained through genetic inheritance made him enjoy the initial joy in his life——

That is the bliss called knowing.

Then... its sound stopped abruptly.

Not because I'm done talking, but because I'm speechless out of fear.

Another... same feeling she was experiencing for the first time rose irresistibly from the depths of her heart and took her soul into it.

what is that?

Why do these things exist?

Silhouettes of various creatures appeared in her mind.

It was the object feared and worshiped by the ancient creatures.

It was the horror deeply engraved in her mind when her mother parasitized humans.

Like a hell walking on the earth, and like a living abyss devouring everything, from 100 million years ago, 3000 million years ago, 500 million years ago, 30 million years ago, [-] million years ago, There are still [-] million years ago, or even [-] billion years ago... The images and powers of the visitors who came to the earth in the ancient prehistoric era, as well as the monsters who originally lived on the earth, the battles they fought have long been buried in the In the history that no one knows, it is woven by the genetic records she inherited, which made this newborn child tremble.

So like a human child, the instinct of the body is faster than the instigation of the consciousness——

With a cry like a cry, she ran out, and jumped out of the window while the rest of the surviving people stared blankly.

Then she kept fleeing in the dark.

She knew nothing but that in the darkness, all lights danced wildly like evil, nameless shadows.

Then all she could think about was—

spiral.

An infinitely expanding helix like a gene.

Embracing, entwining, infinitely spreading chaos.

Look at the sky, the stars in the sky are like the sides of a spiral.

Look at the earth, the earth and she are upside down in the spiral of stars.

So she dared not look at the sky, let alone the stars, the surface of the earth, or where the light came from. As for the darkness, the darkness was infinitely deep.

——Mom, why did you let me be born in this world?

——It's scary, it's scary!

This is the last question in her life.

This thing that dared not look at anything chose to close her own eyes forever.

The monster fell to the ground and was surrounded by police cars.

Seeing the monster woman being surrounded upstairs in the hospital, Aya immediately turned around and prepared to run, and walked over a few times to the door where Zion was.There seems to be a hidden passage here.

She was very surprised to see Zion, but Zion just silently held up the paper she had prepared for a long time and asked:

"What is she?"

Chapter 4 Mitochondrial Eve

Aya pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and then asked back:

"Do you know about parasitism?"

The two walked out of this passage one after the other, neither wanting to meet the police, and ran out into the night for a long time.Aya also has a little extra-mortal abilities, but nothing compared to the Giants of Light.

Zion nodded.

He first thought of the double-disc trematodes in the snails he saw before, and then the spores that fell from the sky before.

"There are rich and diverse microorganisms in the human body... In fact, most of them are harmless and have formed a symbiosis with the human body."

Aya was in the moonlight, hiding her gun, she had a car nearby.

Zion took a seat for a while.

"And it is such a harmless parasite. It has its own DNA, which can be replicated and inherited independently. Man is indispensable. There is no living cell in man without it."

Zion was a little confused.

——Is this some kind of characteristic of human beings in your world?

Maybe the humans on this earth are not the same species as the humans on Zion's earth... In fact, the humans in many stories are obviously not the same species as the real humans.

For example, what can awaken superpowers when exposed to radiation, and what can turn into a yellow sticky object with a bloody smell and can change back, or an 11-year-old boy with a six-kilogram yellow mouse standing on his shoulders...even if it is In Tiga's drama itself, things like super-ancient genes turning into pure energy light... Zion doesn't believe that they are a kind of human beings from real humans.

When walking a few kilometers, it suddenly rained heavily, and the torrential rain hit the roof of the car, and the trees on both sides were overwhelmed.Aya turned the steering wheel and whispered the name of the parasite:

"Its name is mitochondria."

One of the organelles necessary for human survival.

Zion looked up in surprise, and the weird mask fell into Aya's vision.Aya didn't comment on this, but just drove the car tiredly, and looked at her own mobile phone again.

Mitochondria is an organelle present in most cells, and it is the energy-producing structure in the cell, that is, the main place for the cell to carry out aerobic respiration.

In other words, mitochondria provide most of the energy in cells, and are the most important joints for the energy needed for biological activities.

Aya wasn't speaking according to her personality, she seemed to be reciting many things she had memorized, and she was in a trance.

"Mitochondria originally did not belong to humans. The process of their belonging to humans is a struggle for survival that modern humans cannot imagine. It was in the distant and distant age of the Ming Dynasty, when no living organisms were born, only primitive cells, bacteria, or viruses existed. In the ancient ocean, anaerobic bacteria and aerobic bacteria are fighting, so that even the composition of the earth's atmosphere has changed."

Until a sudden, unexplainable human being so far determines a certain moment in the development of organisms in the next billions of years.

The aerobic bacteria, the ancestors of the mitochondria, were swallowed up by the prokaryotic anaerobic cells, the ancestors of all existing animals and plants.

Since then, the era has been rolling towards the familiar appearance of human beings.

"Actually, this is a very strange thing. Because aerobic bacteria have advanced oxidative metabolism pathways that can almost be followed today, but eventually lost their independence."

Aya spoke softly.

In any case, the original mitochondria lost to the ancestral eukaryotic cells, and finally formed a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship with the ancestral eukaryotic cells, and became the organelles of the ancestral eukaryotic cells.The ancestral eukaryotic cells use the ancestral mitochondria to fully supply themselves with energy, and the promitochondrion obtain more raw materials from the ancestral eukaryotic cells.

This model has been used until today and has become the structural basis of all higher organisms known to mankind today.

"In the evolution of human beings, the genes of the nucleus will recombine and disrupt the original arrangement, but the genes of the mitochondria will not recombine, although mutations will still occur...and because they are susceptible to reactive oxygen species, it is about ordinary gene mutations Ten times the odds!"

"Therefore, the more differences in mitochondria, the longer time they have been separated from their common ancestor. By comparing the differences in the mitochondrial gene sequences of people, we can draw the genetic relationship between people." Aya suddenly turned her head, "You Do you understand? I may not have spoken very well."

A row of words was written on the paper, and Zion held up the paper:

"I'm still a medical professional, so I can understand."

Aya let out a sigh of relief.

Headlights shine brightly in the night rain.She drives fast but steady.

"And the mitochondrial genes all come from the egg. In other words, this is maternal inheritance and has nothing to do with the father. If we try to trace the origin of the mitochondria of existing humans, we will find that the mitochondrial DNA of all human beings today comes from one ancestor. She is a woman who lived about tens of thousands of years ago. The scientific community calls that woman and her mitochondria... Mitochondrial Eve, the common ancestor of mankind."

The sound of the rain gradually died down, and Aya's car drove onto the highway, heading for Edo.
