Chapter 428

What does the past mean?

For anyone, the past means the track that has existed, which is both label and affirmation. It is the past that brings together the present and continues the future.

But if your past is just a pile of data, pieces of genetic information, what is the meaning of such a past. Just like zero at the moment, he was confused when he knew that he was a clone created by the biological genes of the last era, and there was more than one clone of himself.

The reason why a person can work hard, work hard and persist. Because I know that life is only once, and every minute is precious. But when you know that you are not the only one, but can be replaced, what is the significance of all your efforts and persistence.

When I saw the clone with the same shape as myself in the photo, my heart was full of unspeakable pain. He wanted to ruin all this and pretend that nothing had happened. But he knew it was just self deception. For a moment, he even thought about staying in the base and never going out again until his old death.

But Beyonce hugged him. The woman told zero with her temperature that he didn't bear these things alone. Beyonce's words deeply touched zero's heart. She was his beacon. It was because of Beyonce in life that zero also had something called "the past". In addition to Beyonce, those familiar faces appeared in front of zero one by one.

Su, Feng, belien, Yelu, Haiwei, Agatha, Leah... Maybe there are many clones, but he is the only one who has these memories.

He is zero, he can't change his identity as a clone, but these people, these memories become the affirmation of zero. Because of their existence, zero is zero!

Suddenly, zero rejoiced in the great catastrophe. If it were not for this global disaster, I'm afraid zero would only wake up as a clone and act as instructed. In that case, there would be no current zero.

"Thank you, Beyonce. I'm all right." I gently stroked Beyonce's face with my pocket hand and said softly. At the same time, I decided to leave safely with Beyonce anyway.

Beyonce saw that zero's eyes were shining again, and she was glad to know that the man was perked up again. She nodded happily and thought of something. Suddenly, she held zero's face seriously and kissed him heavily on his lips.

Warm entanglement.

For a long time, the lips are divided. Beyonce gasped softly, "remember my taste, zero. As long as you remember, you are zero, not anything else."

Zero smiled and said casually, "I'm not something."

With that, he was surprised that she had already laughed. After laughing for a moment, Beyonce covered her stomach and said, "of course you're not a thing. You're my zero."

"Go and see what admiral egger said." zero clenched Beyonce's hand and took her back to the command console.

Since you can't change the past, create the future!

Zero said to himself, looking at the catkin clenched in his hand, zero decided not to let go anytime in the future!

Back in front of the console again, zero's hand stopped in mid air for about a second before he pressed the play button heavily. This action may not matter to others, but for zero, it is a kind of absolute determination to face their own past. No matter how ridiculous his "past" is, zero should be faced with it.

The video continues to play.

Admiral egger showed a regretful expression: "Everything was going smoothly, but unfortunately, what we touched was God's field. On the 13th day of the formation of gene clones, all clones suddenly collapsed. Even Dr. Callahan, who was in charge of the project, couldn't say a word. Therefore, it seems that there are many subtle data involved. Although in terms of computer simulation, the survival of clones The rate should have reached 90%, but like God's prank, we hit the remaining 10%. "

"What's it like to watch nearly a thousand clones grow into meat foam in the culture tank? Anyway, I feel like vomiting every time I see bacon hamburger a week later. Failure, very tragic failure. The death of thousands of clones means that tens of billions of funds, including the efforts of all staff of the base for nearly 100 days and nights, have been scrapped." General egger shook his head and said, "fortunately, one clone survived, and his life characteristics were very stable, just like swallowing the vitality of thousands of other similar species. This clone passed the period of genetic instability with almost terrible vitality. He survived successfully!"

He looked at Beyonce with a strange expression. He pointed to himself and said, "that can't be me?"

"Fool, who else but you?" Beyonce said with a smile. "Now you are completely relieved. All clones are dead, and only you survive. In a sense, you are also the only and irreplaceable."

Nod with zero force.

On the screen, Admiral egger continued: "But after the old bastard Harson knew about it, he insisted on sending the surviving clone to their base through the upper level. He said that the clone had genes very similar to the super biological weapon, so the success rate of transplantation would be very high. I heard that the bastard plan had lost thousands of excellent soldiers in the world, and now even our only finished product would be taken away , there's nothing worse than this! "

At this point, general egger expressed extreme anger and roared with his fist raised several times. But then his expression became depressed again. The general smiled bitterly and said: "But what's the use of saying this now. Well, let's get down to business. After the clone was taken away, we have no right to know what happened to him. But Dr. Callaghan still tried to win some rights. We took some blood from the clone to extract the stable gene. Dr. Callaghan is not going to give up. He plans to use the cloned gene On the basis of, we tried to cultivate another mass-produced biological weapon by separating, processing and adding genes from other organisms. The leader agreed with his plan very much and added research funds. But if I knew what would happen later, I should have tried my best to stop Dr. Callahan from continuing his research. "

"As I said earlier, the owner of this gene, the life of the fourth era, although it has the appearance of human beings. As a life of infinite evolution, God knows whether the appearance of human beings has evolved from some kind of monster. This is impossible to verify, but I am responsible to tell you that Dr. Callahan's subsequent research has not trained mass-produced biological soldiers But a completely uncontrollable monster! "

As soon as the picture turned, general egger inserted another video. The picture was like a world under some kind of microscope. In this world, there was only one kind of strange cell. Its shape was constantly changing, sometimes round and sometimes flat. Sometimes it became rhombic, triangular and rectangular. Countless spikes would grow on the surface of the cell, or turned into liquid In just a few seconds, the changes of cells are almost endless and do not repeat.

A moment later, the cells trembled violently and then divided into two. The two divided into four and four changed into eight and eight, and became infinite. The cells split almost infinitely, and finally filled the screen. What's more strange is that these split cells are undergoing different changes, and there are no commonalities between them, just like independent objects.

After the picture disappeared, the figure of general egger appeared on the screen again: "What you just saw is the gene extracted from the blood collected by Dr. Callahan from the clone, which is separated and fused with the genes of other organisms. We call it substance Z. this genetic material has only 1000 groups of memory DNA, and the total amount is only 1% of the clone, but it has excellent stability and can be used in almost any carrier Survival. "

"Substance Z has two characteristics: one is based on thousands of groups of memory DNA and can make corresponding evolution according to the stimulation of different environments; the other is almost infinite division. At least according to our current measurable means, it can split at least a million times. This provides the carrier of substance Z with very reluctantly vitality, as long as one cell remains , the carrier can regenerate indefinitely. Theoretically, this is a very powerful biological weapon. Imagine a biological weapon that can evolve according to the stimulation of different environments to adapt to the environment, and is almost immortal. If it can be produced in mass, it will definitely be the darling of the battlefield. "Admiral egger sighed: "This is probably the main reason why the leaders decided to increase the funding for Dr. Callahan's plan. They want an army that can be controlled and can't be killed anyway. That's why substance Z has successfully cultivated nearly 1000 units in less than a month from the original ten units. If it hadn't been trained so vigorously, it might not have been The tragedy that followed. "

"Yes, tragedy!" Colonel egger stressed: "Substance Z can't compare with super biological weapons, life in the fourth era, or even clones. But that's the conclusion from comparing with the above metamorphosis. Compared with ordinary life, it firmly occupies the top of the biological chain. For other ordinary life, it is a disaster. Although we are careful to avoid this disaster It's hard to happen, but it happened after all. Up to now, I can't help but doubt whether they are watching us when we observe them outside the incubator. Otherwise, how do they seize that opportunity and trigger this disaster. "

"That opportunity happened half a year later."

Admiral egger smiled bitterly and said: "A secret base like white blood cells was naturally refused to visit. But the problem is that when the prime minister wants to visit our research results, he naturally has no right to object. On that day, all the staff of the base stopped their work and devoted themselves to this important visit. Among these personnel, Dr. kode was included."

A photo was inserted into the picture. In the photo, there was a thin man. The body under the researcher's long clothes was as thin as if it would be blown away in a gust of wind. What's more, the man's appearance was somewhat similar to those researchers who attacked zero.

"During the visit on that day, Dr. Kurd, who was originally in charge of biological weapons research, also visited Dr. Callahan's biochemical experimental area. In the process, one of thousands of units of Z substance leaked out of the culture tank and lurked down with Dr. Kurd as the carrier. On the third day after the visit, Dr. Kurd appeared Fever, vomiting and other phenomena. But at that time, the doctors at the base only treated it as an ordinary virus infection, but it was such an oversight that one week later, Dr. koder, who had completely fused with substance Z, finally launched a massacre of the whole base! "General egger held his head in both hands: "Until Dr. Codd produced hundreds of thousands of derivative monsters with splitting properties of Z, we knew he was" parasitic ". After that, he found out that he had been showing signs of parasitism, but we were neglecting it. When the thousands of monster attacked the whole base, the situation had come to an end. Based on the danger judgment system set up early in the morning, the main computer of the base started the emergency defense mechanism. The computer automatically closed all emergency entrances and exits and sent help signals to the outside world, and we can only rely on the main control room to become the last refuge. Fortunately, this situation was considered to happen when the base was built, so the main control mode is Designed with the concept of Fortress architecture, we also store conventional materials on weekdays. We can survive in the control room for a period of time, but the rescue is delayed. The base has become a playground for Dr. koder and his derivatives, and we gradually feel desperate. "

"Maybe to stimulate us and capture us. Dr. koder, who has been affected by substance Z, showed the cruel and cunning side of his potential character. He deliberately leaked some information to let us know that the water circulation unit of the base can still be used. In addition, there is a hidden channel in the water circulation machine room. It was originally a working channel for repairing machine parts, which can It goes directly to the surface and is not under the control of the main computer. This is almost the only way for us to survive now. When we get this information, the people in the control room are divided into two groups. I advocate staying in the control room and waiting for the rescue that will come at an unknown time. But the other group advocates taking risks to leave this hellish base. "General egger shook his head: "Those poor people, I tried to dissuade them. This is a simple trap. Even if there is this channel, koder will not let us leave. And these people who are known as the best of human beings, with an average IQ of more than 160, are as stupid as pigs at this time. Of course, I can't blame them. They are willing to take risks under the pressure of survival. At the most important stage After the final dissuasion failed, I could only give them a small amount of guns and ammunition left, and pray that they could leave safely. "

"But the result was obvious. Half an hour after they left the control room, I heard the gunfire from the depths of the base. Some people even tried to escape back, but they were torn to pieces by Codd's derivative. Since then, no one is willing to take risks. Dr. Callahan once said that there are some serious defects in substance Z, which is the delay in applying it to the carrier But the detailed information is left in the biochemical area. It's so dangerous outside that we can't reach the biochemical area. Otherwise, maybe we can find the weakness of the beast, "general egger said to the camera in great pain: "Until today, I am sure there will be no more rescue. All the food and water have been exhausted. In order to live, my beloved colleagues have become beasts. I have to end them in order to preserve their only and humble dignity."

The camera moves aside, and the picture is like hell. Wearing uniforms and people are biting each other on the ground, and the blood leaves mottled marks on the ground. It is hard to imagine that these people like beasts used to be upper class people with a decent life. But now, they have become corpse eating ghosts.

Of course, now they have become corpses.

This is the last picture that general egger left for two people.
