Nonhuman Evolution Guide

Seeing Zhang Lin and the big blue bottle approaching from a distance, the young man raised his head vigilantly in the darkness.

Zhang Lin also stopped. He looked at the man who looked like an engineer, and found that they were not the two during the day.Although they look similar, they feel completely different.Zhang Lin couldn't say it, but when this creature looked at him, he would inexplicably feel a gentleness from it.

"My companion met you not long ago," said the creature. "Nine hours have passed, and we should be able to communicate better. According to human habits, you may call me Doctor."

Zhang Lin looked at the other party with a bit of hostility, but he did find that he could understand now—or sense the whole content of what the other party said, instead of understanding them into a few words.

"You're right," the Doctor told him, "we made you."

At this moment, the young man who was squatting on the ground couldn't hold back anymore, he bared his teeth at Zhang Lin, and let out a dissatisfied sound from his throat.

Zhang Lin was suddenly a little nervous, because he seemed to have guessed the identity of the boy.

The Doctor stopped, stretched out his hand to touch the boy's head, Zhang Lin couldn't help but took a step forward, his back tensed.But to his surprise, the Doctor knelt down next to the boy and seemed to say something to him.

Seeing the young man gradually calm down, Zhang Lin didn't understand the Doctor's intention.

After soothing the boy, the Doctor stood up again and looked at Zhang Lin, but did not speak immediately, but closed his eyes unexpectedly, looking as if he was searching for some information.

After a while, the Doctor suddenly said: "You call the creature that is very similar to us—" The sudden pause gave Zhang Lin a bad premonition, and the Doctor looked at him with burning eyes, Zhang Lin subconsciously Empty brain, trying to block something.

"Engineer." The Doctor said with a smile. "Thank you for being unreserved with me."

Zhang Lin's face was a bit ugly, and the Doctor seemed to realize something, "Or you don't know how to hide your thoughts yet?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, but you seem to be a little resistant to me," the Doctor said.

"Yeah, you never thought that it might be because your people just injected something strange into my body not long ago, and almost..." Zhang Lin glanced at the squatting boy, "And put my people Did you take it away?"

The Doctor was silent for a while, "The gene carrier fluid injected into your spinal cord complements some of the differences between humans and engineers—I don't agree." He glanced at Zhang Lin, "And I'm not sure, it's Can it achieve a permanent effect on you?"

Zhang Lin somewhat understood the meaning of this sentence, that is to say, this creature added engineer genes to him, allowing him to show a little keen senses even without a tail, but he couldn't maintain it.

This is not like what they said, it is a kind of help, it is more appropriate to call it an experiment.

"If your purpose is to bring him," Zhang Lin's eyes fell on the boy beside the Doctor, and then turned back to the Doctor, "Leave him, you can go."

The Doctor shook his head, "Of course not."

Zhang Lin suddenly felt very depressed.

"You've heard of the creatures that invaded Earth, they were 'soldiers'. Humans say our soldiers have been lurking among them for a long time, occupying key positions and disintegrating their polity and society overnight. The Doctor looked at Zhang Lin, "No, it's not true. It was our wish, but it didn't come true, so we had to use a substitute to do it. We just put the eggs in the yard of the human politician's house, Wait for them to parasitize while they are asleep, then call back the soldiers you call aliens, drink the protozoa for them, then return to humans, and use the faces of those politicians to launch an invasion. The 'soldiers' are nothing like Real humans, they can't even talk like humans, how can they lurk in there."

"Why are we doing this?" said the Doctor, "because out of all the children, you're the only one who's even close to the desired outcome. We had to find some substitute to destroy the world, because the world—it's going too far. Soon, we gave each world DNA millions of years ago, but in the last few hundred years they have come out of ignorance, and we cannot wait any longer."

The amount of information in this passage seems to be a bit large, Zhang Lin stared blankly at the Doctor, and didn't respond for a while.

"Yes, we made all of them—humans, and you." The Doctor walked towards Zhang Lin slowly, and the boy next to him also rubbed against his legs, "We didn't plan to make humans at first, we cloned but they cannot survive for a long time, and even if we push them a few times, their society will die out quickly, and they will never develop to a certain scale. We think, that must be Because they are too close to us, they are not suitable for living in groups. We need to create a weaker life, weak but tenacious, because they are weak and have to be reunited and become a whole race. So we gave engineers Seeds, let them leave their altered genes on the planet we created for you - and you're multiplying, rejoice."

Zhang Lin took a step back subconsciously, because the Doctor was not far away from him. The Doctor saw his movement and stopped.

"For us, clones—or, the human beings created by clones are the culture medium for soldiers we need. The current scale of human beings is enough for us, and it is the best time to colonize this universe " Doctor said, "But things are a little unexpected, humans seem to be able to deal with our soldiers."

The Doctor stopped at this point, Zhang Lin looked at him, and finally couldn't help but say, "Then, I..."

"So we made you—and the rest of the children. We put you into soldiers and tried to make a new kind of soldier—unlike the old ones, focused on obedience and lacking in creativity, they Unable to lurk among humans—you can see, they have spent more than ten years on Earth, and they haven’t completely defeated humans.” The Doctor’s gentle gaze is not as frightening as the words he said, “But you appear By accident, you triggered the dimension bridge we buried and disappeared from our sight. I searched for you everywhere, and I didn't find your shadow until I went back 300 years in time. We haven't had time to carry out the next It was a one-step plan, but you actually did it yourself—except for you, all the other children died, or lost their human memory, and became an ordinary soldier."

"So," Zhang Lin raised his hand and touched his chest, and found that his fingers were trembling a little, "Didn't I have a human dream or ingest someone's brainwaves, I was indeed a human once?"

The Doctor asked back: "Are you the thing you care about the most?"

"Yes." Zhang Lin said without hesitation.

The Doctor nodded, "Yes, you were once a human being."

Zhang Lin lowered his eyelids, trying not to think about anything.

"I won't offend you if you don't want to let me know what you're thinking," said the Doctor.

Zhang Lin was silent for a moment, then shrugged, "You... are here to tell me this?"

"Don't you want to know?" the Doctor asked.

"I want to know the reason why you did this." Zhang Lin said.

"I want you to save them," said the Doctor, "from our race, Human."

Zhang Lin was really shocked, "How to save? Why? Why do you want to recite... save mankind?"

"I can't describe it well," the Doctor lowered his head, and the boy squatting on the ground was looking up at him. The Doctor stretched out his hand to caress the boy's bald head, "Our life is long and boundless. When life is too long, the purpose has disappeared, leaving only...something like a program pushing us. For a long time Since then I've just been doing my thing until I came here and met our humans. They reproduced well but were as weak as we thought they were and life was short as a ray of light...but I felt life .”

The Doctor raised his eyes and stared at Zhang Lin, "I hope you stay alive."

Zhang Lin was dumbfounded.It was a long time before he found his mouth, "I thought you knew, your two companions - I was so suppressed by them that I couldn't speak, this is..." Zhang Lin licked his lips and looked at Doctor, "If Can you tell me why this is..."

"Because we give birth to alien queens." The Doctor tilted his head and said with a little smile, "Queens give birth to soldiers, and soldiers are our servants and the entirety of our race. If we only regard ourselves as racial components, then we The number of tribesmen is very small."

Zhang Lin swallowed his saliva, and it took him a long time to ask with difficulty: "Then what about now?" There is no difference in the current him in front of the Doctor.

"Now you have been injected with our genetic carrier and the engineer's, and if you want, there is a great possibility that you can spawn during this time." The Doctor said, "If you can do this, you will be able to live with us." Clan confrontation, you'll have soldiers. Also, in our spawning process, going back to what you call aliens, that's the hardest step, but you've been through it."

Zhang Lin opened his mouth and did not speak for a long time.

"You may still lack some understanding of our race, but through aliens, you should know that we are a life with a very large degree of genetic freedom. You can lay eggs alone or fuse more than several genes. When you contact the seeds— —or what you call a protozoa, can retain its human form for a long time, while he," the Doctor looked at the big blue bottle, "will always return to his original form. At this point, The same goes for our soldiers, they must be continuously supplied with protozoa, or they will turn back. Because in this process, will is the most important-maybe you didn’t realize it before, but I can tell you that will is the most important thing. Mainly." The Doctor looked into Zhang Lin's eyes and said.

Zhang Lin tried his best to close his mouth, and moved his lips, "Could it be...the will to lay eggs?"

"Yes," said the Doctor.

Zhang Lin seemed to hear Wieland's mocking face and the lingering sentence - "You are androgynous".

"No," Zhang Lin said, "this is too ridiculous."

"But you'll save humanity on several worlds, and there are many worlds that haven't had time to be invaded and colonized. But if you don't do anything, we'll always colonize," Doctor said.

"But your race will watch me—maybe they will come and take me away right away, and I don't have time to do so." Zhang Lin thought of a reason.

"I lied to my companions when you saw them not so long ago," said the Doctor. "They were going to take you away immediately, but I told them you were under my observation and I needed you Continuing in human society, your evolution is not complete."

Zhang Lin said: "Then..."

"I will send you back immediately. Your spaceship cannot be opened by human beings, and you are still there. There are not many guards." Doctor said.

Zhang Lin was speechless.

"Well...the last, no, two questions." Zhang Lin said, "Why don't you let the soldiers attack humans in the shape of aliens? There is no need to lurk among humans. Time is simply massacre. Besides, even if I can make soldiers, there will only be more and stronger soldiers of your race-how do you know that I can withstand their attacks?"

"The answer to the first question is...we did this in the first place, in a world you haven't been to." The Doctor looked at Zhang Lin, "But humans used a biochemical weapon based on hydrofluoric acid. , it is the nemesis of silicon-based exoskeletons, but it also caused great damage to humans-all died later, our soldiers, and humans in that world. The second question is exactly what I want to tell you, in In the previous investigation, I know that you have already been to that world - I have to say that this is a kind of fate - that world was created by me, I hope that our race can make soldiers through dead humans, that is to say Live people are no longer used as culture medium, but dead people.”

Zhang Lin thought of zombies.Sure enough, the Doctor continued, "But the idea still didn't work out as expected—I screwed up, the culture medium from the dead spread the virus to the living, and the whole world—the whole planet was caught off guard and polluted. But no matter what—there are countless cultivation cultures that will not resist in that world, they are all yours, and no one knows."

"How is it possible...your race won't find out?" Zhang Lin asked.

"There are many worlds we plan to colonize, and they won't pay attention to one of them. After you spawn, I will send you a compass, which points to all the dimensional bridges, and you have to destroy them." Doctor replied.

"You have planned everything," Zhang Lin looked at the Doctor, "then why don't you do it yourself?"

The Doctor was silent, and the boy who was squatting on the ground rubbed against his legs, and let out an indistinct hum from his throat, as if he was a little impatient. The Doctor looked down at the boy and said slowly, "Because that's my race."

Zhang Lin: "..." So is it really okay to lie to yourself like this?

The Doctor glanced at the sky, and said to Zhang Lin: "It will be dawn soon, human beings will resume their activities soon, you should go back."

Zhang Lin hesitated and did not answer.

The Doctor looked at him, those deep eyes that were exactly the same as those of the big blue bottle stared at him deeply.

"I'll... try." Zhang Lin said with difficulty, "It can't be so easy to lay eggs."

Doctor said: "You can tell your companion everything." He looked at the big blue bottle, and then said to Zhang Lin, "You should have other companions where you came from."

"You mean..." Zhang Lin said, "No, you don't need to worry about genetics... Can I ask one last question?"

The Doctor nodded, stroking the boy's bare head next to his legs, trying to calm him down.

"What should I call your race?"

This question made the Doctor tilt his head and ponder for a while, "If you must give us a name, you can call us 'Princes'."

Zhang Lin thought about it, well, Doctor also has this meaning.

The Doctor pulled up the boy next to him, and the boy stood up cautiously, as if he was very unaccustomed to this. The Doctor looked at Zhang Lin, "I see that you really want to get him back, but he will really hurt you, so I have to do it."

This boy was indeed a little follower who was taken away by the princes—but the problem was that the little follower couldn't recognize him at all. He seemed to only remember that he was the human being he almost ate during the day, and he kept staring at him threateningly.

Zhang Lin felt that this kid was dishonest if he didn't get beaten.

But in the end Zhang Lin personally followed the boy back to the spaceship, and the Doctor told him that it would be fine as long as he flew in the star orbit normally.Zhang Lin recalled that the last time he came to this world almost on the planetary orbit of LV426, he suddenly seemed to understand something.

Latitude and longitude are also scales. Nima.

When Zhang Lin walked out of the engineer spaceship with his little follower who was desperately struggling to bite him, the two people in full armor and wearing detection suits on the opposite side were silent.

After a while, Wieland said, "Do you want to open a kindergarten?"

"That's right, just wait." Zhang Lin shouted at Wieland while tearing up with the little follower, "Hurry up and bring the air treatment bag, he will die if he is exposed."

David went up to help Zhang Lin hold down the little follower, and helped him put on the helmet that provided oxygen.Zhang Lin gasped and said, "There is still the blue bottle, he is in the spaceship." He originally wanted the big blue bottle to watch over the little follower, so he went to get the air treatment package, but the big blue bottle refused for some reason .

Zhang Lin had no choice but to come out with the little follower, and he didn't know if the little follower would be poisoned.

Wieland next to them silently watched them toss, and suddenly said after a long time: "What does 'that's right' mean?"

Zhang Lin: "..."

It's hard to say.
