Sea of ​​Doom

The three of Lu Cheng, Zhou Zheng, and Berlin were also suffocating outside.

First, two companions were abducted for no reason, and then they said to go to the top of the building for no reason, but they were still blocked by various people. After the blocking, someone suddenly appeared and decided to take them away.

The three people who felt they were being tricked outside during the whole process were about to have a fit when they saw the large crowd, when they suddenly found Xia Zhi sitting by the window.

When he saw Xia Zhi's empty eyes, Lu Cheng felt as if his heart had been grabbed by something.

"What's going on?" Zhou Zheng also forgot the anger just now, stepped forward and asked.

Mo Yu shook his head and roughly explained the process.

"He has been in this state since then?" Lu Cheng looked at the people around him and asked with a frown.

Mo Yu nodded, and he himself didn't dare to move for a long time.I was afraid that I would disturb Xia Zhi's thoughts, and I didn't know what to say to Xia Zhi at this moment.After thinking for a while, he turned around and said, "I think he must have thought of something."

"What did you think of?" Berlin asked, looking around.

"I can't explain clearly," Mo Yu recalled the voice he heard before, and said solemnly, "You have to let Xia Zhi explain."

Lu Cheng put his backpack on the ground, stepped forward and squatted beside Xia Zhi, seeing his expressionless expression, he called out distressedly, "Xia Zhi?"

A look flashed across Xia Zhi's eyes, and after a long time, he hummed softly.

At this time, three other people also came up, and Zhou Zheng asked first, "Have you thought of anything?"

Xia Zhi looked up at him, shook his head, and nodded again, "I thought of it a bit, but I still can't figure it out."

"Then what's the plot you're talking about?" Mo Yu also came up and sat cross-legged opposite Xia Zhi.Xia Zhi's expression and words when he came out of the stone room really frightened him.

Xia Zhi was silent for a while, glanced at the child held in Ah Ge's arms, and said softly, "Do you still remember that we heard a sound that seemed to be crying but couldn't remember what it was?"

The three nodded, and Mo Yu continued to look at Xia Zhi.

"When I delivered Ah Qing just now, Mo Yu also heard it..." Xia Zhi stopped suddenly.

Mo Yu glanced at him, and finished the sentence for him, "Don't you think it's similar to the cry of a woman during childbirth?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the three people froze at first, and then changed all at once.

The three of them have been rolling on the verge of life and death all year round, and they have very little contact with this kind of crying, especially for pregnant women.So for a while at the beginning, no one thought of what that sound was, let alone in that situation, no one would squat there quietly and start racking their brains to figure out what it was.

Such a trivial matter was basically forgotten by them after leaving the corridor, but now that it was pointed out by Xia Zhi, not only did they quickly match up, but they also had more and more doubts in their hearts.

"You mean, there are women there?" Zhou Zheng asked after hesitating for a while.

"Yes, but it's not accurate enough. Do you still remember that the floor of the corridor was full of wet and slippery liquid?" Xia Zhi continued amidst the rapidly changing expressions of the three people, "If you think about it now, it probably isn't What water or the fluid secreted by moray eels, but human blood, to be precise, the blood that comes out during childbirth."

Bleeding during childbirth?

And the cries of women in labor?

At that time...

An idea appeared in everyone's minds, and for a while, everyone couldn't accept the answer.

"Actually, when I think about it this way, the whole thing makes sense. Why did the moray eels suddenly disappear? Why did they keep chasing me? Why did they try to catch me over and over again?"

"I heard something when the moray eels disappeared. I guess I was the only one out of five who could hear it. I suspect that it was sending a signal in some way. Imagine that the group lost the prey that was about to reach and suddenly evacuated, basically In fact, it was because of some economic situation. Based on the voice I heard later, I first assumed that it was because the woman was about to give birth, so I called all the moray eels back. If I think so, it means that this matter is very important in the moray group .”

"Then we invaded the corridor, and I suspect that we may be getting closer to their center, because if women's childbirth is a matter that is highly valued by the moray group, then we can hear women's voices, and it is estimated that they are not far from their center. Far away. So the group of moray eels quickly appeared and attacked us. This means that either there is something to protect in the center of the moray eels, or there is something inviolable in their center."

"I think the two have something in common, but why do they want to catch me? The biggest difference between me and you is----"

"You have been infected." Lu Cheng suddenly picked up his words, "So you smell the same kind of smell on you?"

Xia Zhi nodded solemnly, "Then why do you think they want to help human women give birth for no reason?"

This question kept the four of them silent for a long time.

why?

In fact, the answer seems to be obvious.

"In order to create... people like you?" Berlin tentatively asked.

"Yes," Xia Zhi took a deep breath, "They want to take me away time and time again, just because they need me, in other words, they need a combination like me."

"Wait---" Zhou Zheng raised his hand suddenly, "You mean to tell me that this group of moray eels went to a city to catch a few human women and let them give birth, and then created a ---- like you? I rely on Xia Zhi, don't be kidding me, even if they will outflank, I have also felt that they have high IQs, so it is impossible for them to be so smart?"

"That's why I said, it's a conspiracy." Xia Zhi shook his head, his face turned pale, "In fact, we have preconceived it from the very beginning, and have always assumed that it was because of some environmental factors that caused the virus to breed and spread, and then caused today's situation. The situation. But after there is no progress in this direction, we will look back and think about other possibilities, what if---this virus is not caused by environmental factors, but man-made?"

Every word in Xia Zhi's sentence was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's hearts.

"So you see, compared with the moray eels, my fighting power is obviously much worse, so why do they still want to create creatures like me?" Xia Zhi clenched his fists and said every word, "Because of wisdom. "

"But it's too hasty for you to directly judge that it's artificial, isn't it?" Mo Yu couldn't help but said, "Who would want to do this... This is simply..."

"First, the speed of spread. It took three to four months to spread to all countries in the world. How many cases of the virus have you seen in the past that spread to a large area in an instant and did not give you any time to react?"

"Second, the mutation itself. There have been so many horrible viruses in the past, but which one have you seen that can directly turn a living person into an animal?"

"Third, intelligence. Even if I say that moray eels do this to create creatures that have their abilities and intelligence at the same time, to rely on intelligence, but never ignore that this behavior itself is beyond the current non-human range of all creatures."

"But," Mo Yu still wanted to make an excuse, such a big disaster was man-made?Not to mention that he would not be able to accept such an idea for a while, even Xia Zhi sat there and thought for a long time, "Even if a baby is really created, it will take more than ten years for him to become an adult, right? I am afraid that the world will be wiped out by relying on mutants, so why bother?"

Xia Zhi shook his head, "I suspect that the creature they want is different from me. I am a human being, and I will have the healing ability of the mutant species after being infected. They probably planned to create mutants with mutant ability from the very beginning. The main creature. Then the growth ability can’t be based on ours.”

Now everyone is silent.

Indeed, when everyone thinks that this is a sudden disaster without any notice, they may be confused why no solution has been found.Everyone will feel hopeless, and wonder whether they will never be able to live comfortably in this world again.And at this moment, someone suddenly told you that all of this was done by your compatriots.While it was difficult to accept, I couldn't help thinking that this matter seemed to have become more complicated.

"Xia Zhi," Zhou Zheng suddenly said, "If you were to do this, would you be able to do it? Create mutated cells, and then...become like this?"

Xia Zhi thought for a while, then shook his head, "I don't know, I've never thought about it, but if I really want to go all the way, I can't rule out the possibility. But it's better not to draw conclusions too early, after all Even if I put forward this idea, assuming that a person really contributed to everything now, there are still many problems, such as how does he control the mutant species? How to convey orders to the mutant species? And how to get various information and make decisions? This virus? These are still mysteries.”

Lu Cheng shook his hand and said, "Then within the range you know, is there anyone with the strength to do this?"

Xia Zhi was silent for a longer period of time this time, and finally raised his head, met Shang Lucheng's gaze, and replied.

"my parents."
