Chapter 877 Damage Immunity
Humanity will destroy the world on its own?
Why is it so similar to their current situation?
Everyone in Tiandu Star looks at me and I look at you, and all of them feel a little guilty.
The people on the Noah all murmured in their hearts: Is this planet cursed? How come the world has been destroyed so many times?
After the development of science and technology, people will inevitably realize their own gaps while enjoying it. After all, there are still a small number of people with top-notch IQs, and most people are mediocre. They may even lose their jobs after being replaced by machines.
In order to improve the overall quality of human beings, the group at the top of the tower started to tinker with genetic improvements. We want to achieve a leap in overall human quality by strengthening the advantageous sequences within genes and weakening or eliminating inferior and mediocre genes.
“Gene?” Antonio felt bad when he heard this word. “This thing is not a DIY assembly. It can be disassembled and replaced. Their ability is far from being dismantled and modified. Genetic level, right?”
When it comes to genetic experiments, that’s what Nuwa is playing with. Even the octopus man who can expand the world of his brain cannot easily manipulate this thing.
The second life of Tiandu Star is probably similar to the development of Lan Star. It has not even reached the first level civilization, and it is impossible to succeed no matter how hard you think.
"Yeah..." the old tree sighed, "They... overestimated..."
The rapid development of high technology gives people an illusion, an illusion of omnipotence.
Coupled with the prevalence of AI, inflated self-confidence, with the help of accuracy, has led to the demise of the originally promising social form.
"The Son of God didn't come out to stop him?" Lin Fan was surprised. "It seems that there were still many sons of gods around at that time, right?"
The old tree sighed.
The division among the Sons of God began at that time.
Part of me supports human beings, even if I know it’s not feasible, but if I let my children try more, they’ll know they’ll turn back when they hit a wall, so why stop them? Time will correct everything.
Other people objected. Why waste time when you know the outcome is impossible? Knowing that the child has gone astray and not pulling him back in time, but encouraging him to get stuck in the mud, even if they realize their mistake and return to the right path, isn't the time and energy in between a waste?
No one on either side can convince the other. But the opposition has reached human ears.
At that time, the relationship between humans and the Son of God was relatively close. Know their existence, respect and revere them, and never fail to pay homage to them during festivals and celebrations.
So when they knew that the Son of God was quarreling over this matter, they sent someone to say that the plan was shelved and that they should stop arguing.
“In the end, they lied to you?” Antonio could almost imagine what would happen next. "In fact, it's not over. By the time you know it, it's already too late?"
"Yes and no." The old tree sighed.
Human desires are always difficult to satisfy. The genetic project has been shelved on the surface, but there are always people who are unwilling to do so.
Everything is clearly pointing to the light, why do we have to stop?
The instruments, equipment, and locations were all ready, and these people continued their research quietly.
“The authorities must know,” Lin Fan guessed. “Such a large-scale experiment, as well as the venue and equipment requirements, cannot really be carried out quietly.”
Of course the authorities know. Although they made a promise to the Son of God, they did not stop their subordinates from keeping silent.
Anyway, the worst thing is that the experiment fails. If it succeeds, it will prove their ability to the Son of God.
Yes, with the development of science and technology, the Son of God no longer exerts force frequently. Human beings, who have not seen "miracles" for a long time, can live very conveniently with the help of high-tech products.
The development of science and technology has weakened mankind's belief in the Son of God to a great extent.
They still respect and care, but they are not so obedient.
Everyone underestimates the horror of failed experiments. I thought that failure was just a lack of success, and I didn’t expect the more terrible consequences.
By the time news broke out about zombies eating people, an entire city had been destroyed. Those bigots with lofty ideals bore the brunt of their sacrifice.
They lost their minds and fed on flesh and blood. They bit any living thing they saw, and their hands turned into sharp claws, which were terrifyingly powerful.
The living creatures whose epidermal layer is pierced by them will inevitably be assimilated in a short period of time.
Then, just like the plague, one person infected another, and it spread from city to city.
This deadly threat spreads rapidly through various means along with birds and animals.
By the time the sons of gods living in seclusion in the high temple found out, one-third of them had already turned into zombies.
"Isn't the World Tree able to monitor the dynamics of the planet in real time?" Cen Fangyuan wondered, "How could it be discovered so late?"
"Yes." Jin Sichen answered his doubts, "But no one will keep an eye on it all the time. Right? The amount of data on a planet is incredible. Nvchou has just woken up and knows very little about Lanxing through this method. Except for the fight later and rare cases, no one will be patient to read these things. Just watching ants move is not very interesting."
"And the gods of Tiandu Star are obviously more closely connected with humans and have great trust in them. In this case, it is even more impossible to monitor them in real time. Did you put a camera in your child’s bedroom and keep watching?”
The Sons of God intervened urgently and stopped the process of zombieization, but they could not completely eliminate it. And because the first group to fall were all highly intellectual researchers, perhaps due to their relatively high IQ and the advantage of excellent genes, their zombies actually evolved wisdom.
It is not the wisdom that can rival others and think flexibly. But the instinct to face danger.
Because researchers are all together, it is impossible to decipher this genetic sequence and find an antidote.
The Tiandu people’s own Son of God genes are partially immune to the Son of God’s abilities, even if they turn into zombies. After all, the Son of God’s genes are the focus of optimization...
The situation at that time was much better than it is now. The Tiandu Star is even more severe, with zombies turning like waves and surging, and humans have no time to build adequate defenses.
In the end, we relied on the ability of World Tree to circle several defense bases and hurriedly built infrastructure before we stabilized the situation.
But the situation is still not optimistic.
Although the Son of God's ability is effective, it is immune to a certain extent. Ordinary people are overly dependent on technology. Although they have supernatural talents, very few people develop supernatural powers. It is not easy to attack zombies in a short time.
The World Tree can only increase the amount of spiritual power released and undermine the growth of the seedlings. But unfortunately, zombies can also absorb spiritual power and become stronger.
Fortunately, they only absorb passively, unlike humans who have subjectivity and systematic methods, and the speed is slower, so humans still have a glimmer of vitality.
"Then why not let World Tree take action and kill all those zombies?" Antonio was curious, "Can't the purification function of World Tree be able to kill these things on a large scale?"
Old Tree The answer is still a question of genetic immunity.
The ancestors of this generation of Tiandu Star people relied on the World Tree and the Son of God to survive, and they carried the genes of both in their bodies. Despite thousands of years of iteration, this powerful gene has not disappeared, but has just been ignored by modern people.
The World Tree is an energy tree that provides protection for the planet. Its power is greatly reduced in destroying those with the same origin. Moreover, previous environmental purifications have greatly weakened the energy of the tree, not to mention that she has to fight for The Son of God and humans provide spiritual support. Between left and right, you can only choose one.
"I see, killing monsters is not as cost-effective as charging energy to improve overall quality." Antonio nodded, "Speaking of which, where is the World Tree? We have been looking for it for so long and still have no clue."
< br>"Ahem..." Old Tree coughed a few times, "That's me."
This answer was not unexpected, but he added another sentence.
"I sacrificed my body to the tree...and it has already...become one..."
