A minute later, the electronic sound turned into a human voice, and a steady male voice came, with an invisible aura of superiority in his words,
"Hello, Ms. Tang, I am Commander Zeromtf. I have level four security authority within the organization. I am the person with the highest authority responsible for communicating with you this time."
Tang Rou's expression softened a little, "Hello."
"Ms. Tang, the suggestion you just made to leave is based on your personal safety. You can choose to use the suspended elevated road to leave the city. Mutated humans will not use human driving equipment. After leaving the city, there will be our emergency response
The personnel will assist you.”
"Excuse me, what happened in this city? I saw that except for real-time network signals, all time in the city was stagnant ten years ago."
The voice on the other end of the phone was much heavier.
"As for the question you asked, this city had a population of 1.5 million before the mutation. It is a standard small and medium-sized people-intensive city."
Mutation?
The other party continued, and it sounded like most of the words were not what Tang Rou wanted to hear. They were like comforting words aimed at ordinary citizens.
"We call the changes in the urban population and the obvious aggressive reactions a viral infection. We all agree that this infection is caused by the ancient virus released after the melting of the glaciers..."
"This is what you say to the outside world."
Tang Rou's patience gradually dwindled, "You should have my information. I am a researcher at the Tower of Babel. My research direction and type of work are in direct contact with these creatures. You don't need to use those words to the public to deceive me."
The mtf commander was obviously silent.
Tang Rou decided to change the approach. She took the initiative to ask, "Excuse me, are there any living people in this city besides us?"
After a long time, the other party said, "No."
Then he added, "Strictly speaking, the living being next to you cannot be called a human being, so you are the only living human being in this city."
It's getting late.
There were more and more people walking slowly outside the glass window.
They don't seem to be afraid of the sun, but simply hate it, like sea rabbits or jellyfish.
Tang Rou asked again, "Then, did these people die ten years ago?"
"From a physical point of view, it is not death. The people in this city are just replaced by another creature, retaining the original memory and repeating the habits of their lifetime."
"So are they repeating what they did on the day they were alive, that is, the day they died, or do they do something different every day?"
"They keep repeating what they experienced on the day they died."
really.
Repetitive stereotyped behavior.
Even if these creatures imitate humans, they only have skin and superficial behaviors.
"We still haven't found a reasonable explanation for this stereotyped behavior."
"So." Tang Rou finally asked the question she really wanted to ask, "Is this situation related to experiments on living people?"
There was a busy tone on the other side of the phone.
There was silence for nearly thirty seconds.
Then, the man's voice appeared again, "Actually, we don't know this either. Before Z discovered that major biological bases were secretly carrying out research activities on xenobiotics, he had not directly participated in experiments on living people."
"In other words, you are now involved."
The other party smiled, "Everything is for the progress of mankind."
Such a high-sounding reason.
Tang Rou held the hand of Lucifer who was silently accompanying her beside her, and looked calmly out the window.
People on the street walked very slowly, with traces of water trailing under their feet.
They are not human beings, but the faces they wear once indeed belonged to the humans in this city.
1.5 million people, this number is beyond imagination.
Because after counting units, there are living people.
Tang Rou asked softly, "Excuse me, all these 1.5 million people are trapped in the city. Is it because they have no time to leave, or because you didn't let them leave?"
"It cannot be called us. You should rather call the people who made these actions and judgments a coalition."
"What judgment is made?"
"Lock down the city and strictly prohibit any possibility of the virus leaking to the outside world."
It is also because of the so-called blockade of the city, which eliminates all possibilities for people in the city to escape.
1500000.
"No one survived?"
The other party repeated, "No one survived."
A person flashed in Tang Rou's mind.
Song Qi.
The content of what he heard talking to others that time involved the number 1.5 million, but before that, Tang Rou thought that 1.5 million was the number of living experimental subjects.
"To protect more people, the coalition has no other choice."
Therefore, we can only give up treatment and block all exits to prevent unknown creatures from flowing into the outside world.
The original source of mutation comes from human genetic modification projects.
Xiao Ning's document showed that 1.5 million living human experimental subjects had flowed into the city. Tang Rou had read that document, and the time period was as long as several decades, so the city was most likely affected by human genes.
Impact of renovation projects.
The initial decision to modify human genes was due to the fact that compared to other earthly creatures, humans do not have a clear perception of the world.
Many animals can feel the arrival of an earthquake before an earthquake, can sense weather changes, rain, cloudy days, or are sensitive to air pressure and adjust their survival methods in advance before natural disasters arrive.
However, humans do not possess these abilities.
To this world, human beings are like an alien species. They do not have fur enough to withstand the cold winter, nor sharp enough claws, nor a strong enough body. Even hunting requires tools, and thick fur survives the winter.
If humans lose their brains, they will not be able to survive in this world.
Throughout ancient and modern times, almost all extinct or non-extinct creatures have far surpassed humans in their ability to perceive the earth.
Therefore, in order to make human beings more perfect and for the so-called human evolution, a whole set of human genetic modification projects have been developed.
Since the discovery of alien organisms emerging from the deep sea, major biological experimental bases have been extracting a biological gene, modifying it, and injecting it into the human body.
As a result, a series of failed experiments and failed experiment samples appeared, and eventually the number accumulated more and more and flowed into the normal world.
The people over there felt Tang Rou's silence and suddenly spoke.
"The name of this city is Zhenhui. It belongs to the Chinese plate in the United Continent. Of course, it has another name. I think you should have heard of it."
"What?"
"Rakshasa Sea City."
Rakshasa Sea is a city that exists in a non-governmental jurisdiction and is famous for tourism. It finally disappeared mysteriously and turned into a legendary ghost town.
Some people once searched for their relatives who disappeared in Rakshasa Sea City, but those who searched for their relatives never returned. News about Rakshasa Sea City gradually disappeared on the Internet, and even the entries were deleted.
Gradually, people began to think that the existence of the so-called Rakshasa Sea City was just a legend, similar to a bedtime ghost story that scares children, and it became a legendary city that no one cared about.
Even Tang Rou herself had always thought that this city was fake and did not exist.
No one cares about small and medium-sized cities that are not jurisdictions.
But now, Rakshasa Sea City is equated with 1.5 million dead faces, and things have become different.
