Mental problems are a very persistent disease. Shen Li is sure that he does not have any, so he is ruled out as having a mental disease.

But mental illness is not easy to hide. For so many years, Shen Li has not behaved differently from ordinary people, and his mental condition is good. According to his own memory and Professor Ban’s narration, he only behaved abnormally in the year of the catastrophe when he was five years old, and he forgot What happened that year.

Did the problem come from Shen Li or from the cataclysm?

Can't find the problem here, Shen Li tried to find information about the cataclysm, he still remembered what Cao Yutian said, the catastrophe started 30 years ago, not the fog ten years ago.

When I came to the database in the middle of the night, I didn't expect to open the door to see several people comparing data there, including Lin Qiming, who was arrested.

They don't look up when they hear the door open. Nothing is more important than data.

"How did you compare the data here?" Shen Li asked.

Only then did they realize that the person who came was Shen Li, and Lin Qiming finally raised his head and yawned, "Because there are data here, and these data need to be compared many times, so they simply moved here, brother? Why are you so big?" Come tonight?"

"I want to find information about the catastrophe 30 years ago."

"Big cataclysm?" The colleague who compared the data next to him raised his head interestedly, "The reason for that accident has not been found until now, thinking about it this way seems to be as fantastic as the coming of the fog, but why do you suddenly feel the catastrophe?" Interested?"

Shen Li speaks directly, but he is not that stupid. Private issues should not be dealt with by the public.

"I just heard that many disasters happened for no reason at that time, which is similar to now, so I came here to check, maybe there is some connection." He didn't lie either, when Cao Yutian said that the catastrophe occurred in the catastrophe, he wanted to investigate the catastrophe, It was just delayed by various things at that time.

The colleague nodded, "The documents of the cataclysm are on the innermost bookshelf, and there are also some speculations from that year."

After thanking Shen Li, he walked into the archives room. He crossed layers of bookshelves, and finally came to the bookshelf marked with 'catastrophe'.

Although these are all things he has learned in books, he still takes down the materials and reads them carefully.

The catastrophe came suddenly back then, but at least nature itself did not have much impact on human beings. Human beings survived by relying on their own perseverance and previous preparations. That year, the whole world had no crops and a lot of buildings were damaged. , biological corpses spread all over the world, and plagues broke out due to limited manpower.

Countless people have become a number symbol in that disaster, there are people who have lost their families everywhere, and the world is shrouded in grief.

Later, humans repaired the world and restored the previous life little by little. Some people analyzed the cause of the catastrophe, but no matter which side was convinced, it was difficult to be convinced, and no concrete evidence could be found to prove it. Let it go.

"I studied the catastrophe with my mentor back then, and I still remember it vividly." My colleague talked to Shen Li while comparing the data, "Whether it's raining or thunder, even an earthquake will have some signs. In China, human senses are not sharp, but some creatures are much more sensitive than humans, and they can detect disasters in advance."

"At that time, not a single creature noticed the abnormality, and no creature called the police, which led to the extinction of so many creatures."

Shen Li looked at his colleague, "Is there anything unusual in the sea?"

"No, marine life is swimming happily. Suddenly, there was a big earthquake on the bottom of the sea. The earthquake caused a tsunami, which directly flooded some small sea countries. This is not an example."

"It's like the big cleansing in the movie." The colleague on the opposite side joked, "Isn't it made like this in some movies? The environment has been destroyed by humans and has become extremely bad, the planet is overwhelmed, and the end is coming. Natural disasters come without any reason. The hero and heroine work together. Run for your life, and talk about an exciting love affair at the end of the day."

"Are there any zombies?"

"Look at the subject matter."

Shen Li put the materials back on the bookshelf, "I think it's really similar to the Great Cleansing."

"Ah? I was joking just now." The colleague looked up at Shen Li in surprise.

"I'm not joking." Shen Li sat next to his colleagues, "Cao Yutian's theory mentioned that nature is a whole, and humans accidentally developed viruses that disrupt health, so it is trying to assimilate humans and other creatures, minus Human toxicity."

"The first step after a person is sick is to kill the virus first."

Lin Qiming thought for a while, "Then what Cao Yutian meant was: We should have cut our numbers by at least half in the catastrophe, but human beings are so tenacious that they survived all kinds of disasters, and finally stood up again. The only way is to change the medicine and kill the virus again?"

That is to say, humans are endowed with various strange genes, which will cause genetic diseases and eventually become strange creatures, accompanied by various natural disasters.

"Whether it's Eternal Night or drought after the fog, many people will die after a certain period of time." The colleague frowned, "But not only people will die, but other creatures that are also affected will also die."

"This is similar to the fact that medicine is three-point poisonous, and the medicine taken when treating a disease will cause slight damage to other parts of the human body?"

"Even so, there is nothing we can do." The colleague leaned his head back on the chair, and he yawned heavily, "Knowing why it happened has nothing to do with our current work. die."

"No matter how difficult it is, you have to persevere."

"I hate the term 'nature's virus'." Another person said, "Humans are also part of nature. When did they become viruses that need to be cleaned up? Humans have evolved step by step, saying It makes me want to knock his head off."

Shen Li smiled, "Then what data have you been comparing up to now?"

"We are speculating on the duration of the drought." Lin Qiming replied: "Although we are not professional in the weather, everyone is busy now, so we will help organize it."

"So far, we have judged when it will rain from the levels of water vapor concentration in the sky, wind direction, and seawater evaporation. It won't last long, there will be no water vapor in the sky to use, and there will be no rain clouds to condense, and you, the koi that rains when you go out, will also be dried out."

Shen Li nodded, "Did there be any drought during the catastrophe?"

"No, only the aftermath of the flood, and the plague that broke out after the corpses were soaked in dirty water."

Still didn't get any results.

I didn't find the reason for my abnormality from the cataclysm, and there was no scientific explanation for the cataclysm back then, so I can only put it on hold until now.

After Shen Li greeted them, he left the file room. Not long after he went out, the mobile phone in Shen Li's pocket rang. When Shen Li took out the mobile phone, he saw a familiar name: An He.

Why did the team member of the genetic prevention and control department call him at this time?

"Hello?" Shen Li picked up the phone, "What's the matter?"

"Shen Li, are you free tomorrow?" An He was not polite, and came up to talk about the matter, "I have cooperated with the Genome District to find out a few genetically unstable people, you can come and see them tomorrow to confirm, the Genome District The person in charge at the side is not at ease, you must have seen it before you can put him back."

"Yes." Shen Li glanced at his watch, "What time is it tomorrow?"

"The sooner the better, our large-scale screening is not over yet, and the genetic area is very tight. The genetic inspection once a week has been changed to once every two days." An He sighed, "It seems that such a disaster will stimulate Some people have genetic fluctuations."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Li took a long breath.

Maybe everyone is right, no matter what happened before, now they do not allow human beings to lose in this battle with nature, they will not let themselves become so-called 'viruses', and then be cleaned up at will.

He will not let himself go to death easily, and deal with all difficulties tenaciously. This is the reason why human beings can evolve to the present.

……

The next day, after arriving at the location, Shen Li saw not only An He, but also Liao Jiangfan in a wheelchair.

Liao Jiangfan was reading documents, and every time he read a document, he would frown even more. An He's eyes were blank beside him. Occasionally, Liao Jiangfan would ask him a few words, and he would say um, huh, ah, he couldn't understand Liao Jiangfan at first glance. Say something, but also have to answer.

Seeing Shen Li coming to An He was like seeing a savior.

An He pushed Shen Li over, "I have to watch the genetic test and go first, you two talk!"

Putting down the document, Liao Jiangfan looked helplessly at An He who was running faster than a rabbit, "Oh, it seems that I accidentally talked too much."

"What were you talking about?"

"The results of the genetic testing of all staff this time." Liao Jiangfan showed the comprehensive data to Shen Li, "Look, just like what I was worried about before, half of the people whose awakening direction is drought-tolerant organisms have genetic fluctuations. In response to this drought, the body arbitrarily amplifies the drought-resistant properties."

"This drought has lasted for a long time, so it is more prominent than the problem of eternal night."

Shen Li looked at the data, "Gene fluctuations do not represent genetic diseases."

"I know, but even a 1% chance of mutating into a genetic disease is not a trivial matter." Liao Jiangfan sighed, "I'm really worried. Humans are powerless to change the current environment, and can only go on with these natural disasters little by little. , feeling like a marionette is really bad."

"We just want to prevent this kind of thing from happening." Shen Li pushed his wheelchair, "Three major bureaus have been established up to now, although it is true that sometimes they are not as enlightened as imagined, and Cao Yutian's theories have not been taken seriously, but they are all for public interest."

"It's an institution built to keep ordinary people alive."

"No matter what the world becomes, we are the first group of people standing in front of it."

Liao Jiangfan smiled, and he said, "Yes, if it is really divided by race, human beings are a collective, and what we have to do is to preserve this collective of human beings."

"Be sure to cut the string on the marionette."

When they came to the waiting room, Liao Jiangfan and Shen Li introduced the people who he thought were in danger and were quarantined this time. Shen Li listened carefully and met with Liao Jiangfan one by one.

People who are sure to have no genetic diseases will be put on the equipment and let go. Liao Jiangfan will be nervous when passing everyone. After Shen Li shakes his head, he will breathe a sigh of relief, then smile and apologize to the person concerned, and let the members of the Special Bureau behind him send him back.

This made Shen Li understand: Liao Jiangfan and Cao Yutian are completely different people.

Cao Yutian is a genius, but he is arrogant, and his goal is very ambitious. What he wants to do is to drag the entire human race out of the mud, but he doesn't care how many ordinary people die; Liao Jiangfan is people-oriented, even if it is an ordinary person. He will be happy when there is no genetic disease.

It is really a pity that such a person loses the ability to walk.

In the end, Shen Li didn't see a patient with a genetic disease. Liao Jiangfan seemed very happy about it, because he thought: It's best to make a mistake in your own judgment, and don't even have a patient with a genetic disease.

"I'll take you back to the office." Shen Li pushed him, "Speaking of which, do you still have any memory of the cataclysm?"

"Are you talking about the catastrophe event 30 years ago?" Liao Jiangfan thought for a few seconds, "That catastrophe had the same characteristics as the present one. It was a natural disaster without reason. Did Senior Brother Cao tell you anything?"

"He said: This mutation started from the catastrophe event 30 years ago."

"Now we generally agree with this point of view. After all, the unexplainable things began at that time." Liao Jiangfan said: "I sometimes wonder: Is it possible to know what we are experiencing now by finding the cause of the catastrophe?" What, but 30 years have passed, and with the impact of heavy fog, there is no way to trace it back."

"Shen Li, are you going to learn about the catastrophe?"

Shen Li shook his head, "I can't find any data, and there's no field to investigate, and it's useless to do things without direction."

"Haha, I think you can. After all, you are a koi. Maybe you can find the ruins left by the catastrophe in any place."

Shen Li once again said that he was unlucky, and could only encounter piranhas that had mutated to be bigger than Lou.

Pushing Liao Jiangfan into the elevator, walking all the way at night, the elevator stopped halfway, Shen Li glanced at the floor, it was the 9th floor, this seems to be the meteorological department?During this period of time, due to the drought, the Meteorological Department was busy without touching the ground, and every day Shen Li could see the trotting department members.

It is also because of this that there are almost no people on the 9th floor, and most of them have gone to work outside.

The elevator door opened, and the next moment Shen Li opened his eyes slightly, he subconsciously stood in front of Liao Jiangfan.

"Shen Li?" Liao Jiangfan was a little strange.

"Emergency call, hurry up!" Shen Li stood in front of Liao Jiangfan's wheelchair, "It's a genetic disease."

Liao Jiangfan quickly pressed the emergency bell, and then looked at the person in front of Shen Li. It was a young man in the uniform of the Meteorological Department. He was standing at the elevator entrance with the documents in his arms. He neither entered nor exited. The elevator door could not be closed. Make a beeping sound.

His gray eyes kept staring at Shen Li, even Liao Jiangfan felt something was wrong.

In Shen Li's eyes, there was a very large cactus standing in front of him, the spikes on the cactus were all facing it, occupying the entire elevator entrance.

Not only is it difficult to get out of the elevator, but behind Shen Li there is Liao Jiangfan who has limited mobility.

No one thought there would be a genetic variant in the Science Bureau.

"Work." The young man stumbled and said a few words, "I'm going to work."

There was a stabbing sound, as if the skin of a human being was torn open, and it was the first time that Liao Jiangfan actually saw the moment when the genetic disease mutated.

Those blood red ones are skin and blood plasma, they splashed on the elevator, and what exploded out of the skin bag were spikes one by one, stained with horrible red bloodstains, he probably hasn't mutated completely, so he still has it The human body looks even weirder.

"...Good job." The man made a hoarse voice with his torn vocal cords, "I want water."

The biological instinct of longing for water has completely replaced human reason, and Shen Li is the closest creature that can store water.

The gene mutant's arm suddenly stretched, and caught off guard, it grabbed Shen Li's wrist, and the spike pierced deeply into Shen Li's penis. At that moment, Shen Li felt a sharp pain.

It wasn't because the thorn was stuck into the wrist, but it seemed to be injected with something... Shen Li suddenly remembered that Liao Jiangfan once asked him: Do you feel when you touch other genes?Back then he said no, and now he understands the excruciating pain that comes with being forced into other genes.

"Shen Li!" Shen Li heard Liao Jiangfan calling him.

But there was no way to respond, this unbearable pain tormented him, and he tried his best to swallow the pain back to his throat, and he even felt a little unconscious.

"Come here!" Liao Jiangfan's wheelchair fell, and he kept pressing the emergency call, trying to pull Shen Li back.

He is highly susceptible to infection.

An injury of this degree would cause him to be directly infected with a genetic disease.

……How to do?

In his vague consciousness, Shen Li suddenly remembered something, as if such a thing had happened before, it was a very strange memory, in his memory he was very small, in front of him was the dark night sky and pouring rain, as if someone Stand in front of him and talk to him.

【It's okay, you are the most special...】

【You will not die. 】

【pure……】

Shen Li seemed to have lost consciousness. He was kneeling on the ground, and his wrist was still being held by a cactus. Liao Jiangfan had had in-depth exchanges with patients with invasive genetic diseases, and he knew that patients would be accompanied by strong pain when they were forcibly injected with foreign genes. , Shen Li is obviously going through this state.

He has special characteristics and is too easy to be infected. Fluorescent grass and eternal tree are not aggressive, so they can coexist peacefully in his body, but this one can't do it now.

He could see how aggressive the cactus was even without examining it.

Liao Jiangfan could only call Shen Li's name, "Shen Li, wake up, don't faint."

"Someone is coming soon!"

Maybe it was because his shouting was effective, Liao Jiangfan clearly watched Shen Li move his fingers hanging on the ground, but before Liao Jiangfan was happy, Shen Li raised his head, Liao Jiangfan didn't even react, just listened With a bang, the spikes of the cactus were snapped off.

Shen Li, who was still in a coma just now, stood up in the elevator. He pinched the cactus by its neck and pressed him against the elevator wall. With more force, the cactus, which has not yet fully mutated, made a suffocating sound, and kept scratching Shen Li's clothes with his wrists.

But these were of no avail. Shen Li exerted so much force that the spikes on the back of the cactus were bent.

Ding dong, the elevator blocked by the cactus slowly closed and began to climb slowly.

Liao Jiangfan opened his eyes wide. He didn't know how to react or what to do.

The moment the elevator opened, Liao Jiangfan saw Shen Li smiling.

Was there even a hint of pleasure in that smile?Liao Jiangfan judged in this way. He observed Shen Li's state to determine his current situation. Obviously, this was not like Shen Li in a normal state. He didn't respond when he called him, and he didn't seem to have self-awareness. , a stress response?

This sharp stress response?

Liao Jiangfan couldn't help paying attention to his current appearance. His long blue hair and golden eyes made him look... like a monster.
