Dawn Of The Night

Chapter 4:

It is no longer a fierce life-and-death struggle to capture local needs for core resources, but exploring future development. In this utterly barren environment, however, relative affluence fades. Almost all major bases follow this open secret, which is to try to cultivate better evolution by "breeding" the next generation. That's right, not pregnancy, but procreation. All processes are based on experiments, and the human participants are no longer even humans, but simply named experimental individuals.

     The target is an Omega with excellent fertility and the ability to exchange genetic information with beta in a variety of ways. (Alpha and Omega produce a and o, and beta beget beta, but such beta is usually more perfect.) Those soft, beautiful creatures gradually become breeding grounds for hope, known as devoted people. Future is a selfless and respectable pioneer.

     However, at least Tran Thien has never heard the slightest respect for this group of people from the beta people he has ever come in contact with.

     In fact, alphas and omegas were little popular before the apocalypse. Because in a society with a highly developed technology, the natural advantage of AO over the beta population in terms of gender is almost wiped out. Those who once claimed to be the high class alpha and Omega races gradually fell from the altar, not only that, their social status dropped miserably and fell into the abyss.

     Some extreme right-wing Bs even call the AOs "incomplete evolutionary underdogs" who can't control their desires, claiming that they are beasts ruled by time. estrus and irrationality. Of course, there are beta betas that aren't so extreme, they don't particularly hate alphas and Omegas, but they still accept the fact that they're "lower".

     After the apocalypse, technological civilization has suffered many irreparably heavy blows, human survival and reproduction is more and more dependent on natural material factors, but the AO situation is still not much improved. The reason is that the innate excellent alpha cannot integrate the "seed gene" to evolve, although Omega does not have this limitation, it also cannot evolve the ability to fight.

 This is the result of repeated confirmation by scientists, which further strengthens the far-right B-sect's belief that alpha and Omega are populations abandoned by natural selection. As a result, the main bases barely absorb alpha, and for Omega, it was turned into a breeding ground by a strong will.

     It is because of this that Chen Shuli disguised his identity and traveled to various small bases - the value of which is whether they can bring in outside supplies, not is a way of studying the development prospects of human evolution. More importantly, the small base wouldn't conduct physical exams without genetic testing equipment, so they could keep it a secret.

     Just as Tran Thien's wandering thoughts became more and more boundless, the leader finally opened his mouth.

   "Chaser, no matter how strong you are, you're still alone. You really think you can beat a hundred for one? To put it badly, you're just a free hunter. Even if you die here today, Qixing will avenge you!” Leng Ziqing opened his mouth and said harsh words, but the content seemed to want to convince the other party.

     Chaser, the hunter... what a terrifying name. Most chaser legends are exaggerated. I won't talk about single high level mutant beasts. The strangest and most criticized thing is the source of her power.

     It is rumored that she is not naturally gifted with abilities, and that the abilities she possesses are not from the "seed" fusion technology researched by the alliance, but from a mysterious disappearance.

     As an ordinary person, the chaser had lived alone in the wilderness for half a year. Surviving without weapons and equipment, food supplies, and blessed powers... It's hard to believe when you think about it.

     Not only did she manage to do that, she started a life of obsessive stalking since then, she was actively recruited by Qixing, after several collaborations, she was seen as a trump card, but she always refused refused to join the base. protection system, and eventually become a form of employment. Mutant Beast Hunter. Although she is only half a member of the Venus base, will also receive commissions from other regions, but Venus takes her very seriously, she will also receive commissions from other regions, but Venus respect her very much.

     Chaser seems to be paranoid about hunting mutant beasts, but she will do her best to deal with it when she is staring at her. She will even take the initiative to take on tasks that others cannot avoid. Then it was rumored that she was a murderous lunatic, and only blood and battle could quell her inner madness.

 Even if only a tenth of those rumors were true, it could prove her strength was unquestionable. How can the genes of ordinary people undergo such drastic changes without outside intervention? This is an amazing thing.

 After she became famous, the jealous guy delved into the matter and questioned the reliability of her genetics. Guess she was infected by a wild mutant beast, maybe she will turn into a lunatic monster. Some people even claim to have seen the chaser's wild and out-of-control state of ability while hunting, smashing everything in action regardless of enemy or foe.

     It's just that if the rumors are true, since this meat grinder doesn't leave a living mouth, then these rumors can't be seen and described. Furthermore, Venus always showed everyone the rules of steel, and flaunted her perfect defense and safety to the world, how could such a dangerous person freely enter and exit her kingdom. surname.

     With that said, the rumors about her going mad at any moment were mostly nonsense.

     The pursuer and the head of the base faced each other, eyes glazed over, almost able to materialize sparks with crackling and flickering explosions. It seems that neither of them want to be vegetarian.

     “Looks like you just don't know enough, and you still want to see if I'm worthy of that name.” Chaser's voice was calm, using the most common proclamation tone, like a puddle of water, but it stirred thousands of people throughout the base.

     "Smelly mother-in-law! Shameless!" As soon as the disgruntled voice finished the first sentence, it quickly became the other. It seems that a person's patience has a limit after all, those who intend to keep things calm, after the other party's progress, the more they think about it, the more angry they become, unable to hold it anymore. want to explore.

     Tran Thien was infected by the excitement of the crowd, and wanted to scream a few words.

     I think a team war is about to begin, and Tran Thien is about to open his eyes to see the legendary character's amazing abilities.

     As a result, the person on the other side said with a nonchalant and unafraid face: “Because you are obsessed, I will bear the consequences.”

   Tran Thien almost dropped her chin: why is she pretending with such a calm tone. from to? Since they don't want to fight, they all pretend to be X? The tone of truth is almost believable. Tran Thien couldn't help but doubt that this man was indeed a schizophrenic. How did it change so confidently and calmly?

     It was thought that everyone in the base that was bombarded by the lady would "enthusiastically" invite the chaser to stay as "guests", by the way "friendly" exchanges or something, but it turned out to be more boring than expected.

     He only heard a rumbling sound that shook his eardrums, and he subconsciously poked with his finger.

     “Get out now!”

    Tran Thien was rubbing his ears thinking he heard wrong, but saw the chaser coldly glancing at the crowd, his black pupils like a bottomless fountain, unprintable at all. Any reflection is simply a profound interpretation of the word challenge.

 When her eyes fell on Tran Thien, her facial expression finally changed a bit - the corners of her mouth were hanging out, perhaps mocking, and Tran Thien's scalp went numb.

     God, this is so arrogant! At this moment, Tran Thien almost wanted to run over and punch her in the face.

     Before Tran Thien could act, Chaser turned dapper and was about to turn around and leave. What's even more amazing is that the original people around automatically split a path, which is quite a long goodbye.

     This is some kind of bridge that doesn't rain or thunder, like being soaked in dog's blood. The legends of the ruthless hunters are all high tides in the brain that people have nothing to do and no leisure to do! That is a dream.

     “Number 91!”

     Tran Thien, who was absentminded, didn't realize that the leader was calling him. He never realized the address was like the number in the leader's mouth, and naturally he didn't have time to reply.

     "Smelly kid, are you deaf!" Ju Shan's voice shook everyone's brain, and it was a few steps higher than when he faced the pursuer before.

    Tran Thien was stunned by the roar, so much so that he was pushed behind his back before regaining his senses. He was still injured after trying his best, but he was unable to stabilize his body and directly fell to the ground under the jostling.

     Chaser, who hadn't gone very far, stopped her steps, she clasped her swollen right wrist wrapped in black bandages with her left hand and left with a cold look.

     Laughter came from all directions, and Tran Thien instantly became a funny clown, and everyone couldn't wait to find something funny from him.

     This comforts the face that has just been lost.

     Chen Shuli bowed his head, clenched his teeth, clenched his fists, and with a cry...

     He rose from the ground.

     "Master, what do you have to do with me?" Tran Thien lowered her head, her bangs covered her eyes, showing her respect.

     Being able to bend and stretch is the first imperative of the late rule of survival, because there is no threshold for this and anyone can do it. Tran Thien had just finished speaking in his heart of complaining about others, now he had completely grasped the essence of this point. Tran Thien was very helpless, but who told him to put him in this ghost place for a while.

     The leader's face was filled with impatience, and his angry tone was full of resentment.

     "Where's your team! Why are you the only one! Didn't you hear the signal from the base?"

 Tran Thien, who was screaming three times in a frenzy, was almost deaf, he suppressed his displeasure in his heart and turned the other way. attention of the party: "We meet by the lake. Mutant monster, alarm goes off immediately after settlement. Captain judges that there is a crystal nucleus on mutant monster and needs to be undone. successful, so he arranged for me to come back. soon, they should come soon too." The others must have wanted to quickly leave this shameful place, in an instant they all dispersed.

     Tran Thien was exhausted and didn't want to stay any longer, but when he turned around, he almost collided with someone.

     “What, are you dumbfounded?” The woman's voice was narrow, but her tone was unbelievably gentle.

    Tran Thien took a closer look and discovered that the owner of the voice turned out to be a teammate of the team leader. As the only female in the base, strong strength, very special status, it is not exaggerated to say that she is like a star. She's not really pretty, but compared to the sloppy bunch of people around her, it's not an exaggeration to say she's a fairy.

    Tran Thien was not pleased when such a person joked with Yan Yuese, but he worried that he would annoy him.

     "Hello, ma'am." His eyes flash, his shoulders droop, and he pretends to be sullen, speechless when he sees a woman.

     A woman who has seen the world as someone else should despise this type of man the most.

     Unexpectedly, the other party continued: "Your name is Tran Thien, right?"

     Tran Thien did not expect the other party to continue, for fear that the leader was angry and disturbed.

     "Yes ma'am." His voice was dry, and he lowered his head, not looking at the other person's face.

     "What do you think of that guy?" The words didn't stop, as if playing a puzzle. But somehow in Tran Thien's heart there was an inexplicable feeling that "that guy" in the other's mouth was not someone from the base, but a pursuer who had just appeared here.

     “Ah?” The person on the other side looked at him, eyes like he wanted to see through.

     “You were injured because the mutant beastman was right.” She used an affirmative tone, carrying an unquestionable meaning. Suddenly she approached him and whispered in his ear, "Their trash is the old sheep of the base, but they don't have the ability to hunt mutant beasts with crystal nuclei." The woman saw Tran Thien frowning and looking at her, her eyes filled with tears. She smiled and said in a voice only they could hear each other: "You're good at hiding." She paused, then looked at Chen with a smile but not a smile, "Looks like you don't intend to stay here for a long time."

 "What do you mean by that?" Because the other party has already said this, Tran Thien does not need to hide it, just straight to the point.

     “Nothing exciting, just a kind reminder.” The other party doesn't seem to be looking for trouble. “Concealing yourself is a means, but in such an environment, fear is the best amulet.” She stretched her voice, "For example, chaser."

     Chaser… Tran Thien Thien was stunned, subconsciously remembering the other party before leaving, her eyes involuntarily changed, her face changed, as if she was smiling, but it made him feel bad. . Why does he think so? Maybe because I've heard those rumors. He had to admit that what the other party said made sense, but it didn't suit him.

 "Since you're capable of slaying advanced mutant beasts alone, your strength should be considered top of the line at this base. But finding your way out alone isn't always reliable. Maybe you need a teammate."

     Faced with such a sudden invitation, Tran Thien was surprised. Due to the special status of the other party, he did not want to accept it. Moreover, he knows very little about the other party, and he doesn't even know why he did it.

     “Remember, my name is Rose. You can call me Rose.” Rose did not seem to want to receive confirmation from Tran Thien's mouth, and quickly ended the topic.

     "I'm sorry you're late." She said regretfully, the chaser alone cleans up the ignorant fools, he's so handsome. Too bad I can't see anything. Before turning to leave, Rose winked at Tran Thien and playfully said, "I've noticed your expression before, you shouldn't think of her leaving as an escape. "

     She had to say, she guessed right.

     Rose: "It seems so. Hope you don't confront her in the future. Remember to go far away when you see her."

     After Rose left, Tran Thien looked at the reactions of the people around. There weren't many people present and all showed their jealousy when Rose took the initiative to talk to Chen Shuli, and they looked at him very unfriendly.

     Tran Thien frowned, feeling that the woman was intentionally finding fault with herself. To avoid trouble, it seems I can only go to my room first.
