Chapter 66 Wanderer

In the volcano, that huge lump was once a person. It initially looked ordinary in its mutated form and had its own identification number. However, everything changed after it transformed into its current appearance.
Before the apocalypse, she was an employee at Genesis, holding a PhD in genetics. She was highly valued here and always at the forefront of experiments involving the mutation of artificial viruses in living organisms. She was obsessed and fanatical.
At first, the mortality rate of human experiments was extremely high, and no individual could withstand it for several months. She repeatedly studied the process of virus invasion and spread, and discovered that the intention of this virus was not to kill the host.
The host will die if the death virus dies, so it tends to a parasitic symbiotic relationship. However, the human immune system strongly rejects the virus, and the intense confrontation between the two leads to the death of the host.
She is studying the process of variation in the observed experimental subjects. Apart from the pairing of the samples, the psychological fluctuations of living organisms have a huge impact on virus mutation. When the living organisms are inoculated with the virus without their knowledge, both sides have better adaptability and minor rejection reactions. In other words, the influence of emotions can to some extent control the intensity of the body's immune response. This is similar to how adrenaline spikes when one is nervous.
看着那些活体实验者，恐惧抵触，她明白以这个状态接种，这批人大多都会当场死亡，恨铁不成钢！
所幸她脱了防护服，自己来到了接种台，她的适配性并不高只有70%，但她硬生生的从实验台上活了下来，并且如同计划一样发生变异。
The mutation process did not affect her consciousness, and she was given the code name "134" by the Creator as a knight.
However, at that time, she didn't know that she was already pregnant. Her mutated body had enhanced senses, but when she discovered the presence of an embryo inside her, the child had already lost any signs of life. The mutated umbilical cord connecting them had already severed.
The cruel reality pushed her to the brink of madness, while at the same time, being a woman, her hormone secretion was far beyond normal levels. Under the daily stimuli, her body began to undergo changes.
This kind of baby individual creation, of course, cannot be let go. Control and then study. The woman did not expect that her husband would be the one to experiment on her. After the woman mutated, the man took over the woman's original position.
男人等这一天很久了，他没有女人的才华，却羡慕她所在的位置和权利，“伺候”了这么多年，自己终于上位成功。
Slicing, injections, physical and chemical stimuli, all methods are being used. From the moment a woman changes, all previous tenderness and respect shatter.
With repeated stimulation of the mind and body, the woman collapses, she wants to escape! With her familiarity of creation, she breaks free from the laboratory, knocks down guards and flees. However, in the face of creation, it's like using an egg to break a stone; she is forced onto a volcano and then falls.
One syringe after another of anesthetic dart flies over, and she collapses inside this volcano crater. The researchers moved the experimental table here to continue studying the woman. However, her adaptability is not very high, and her growth is ultimately limited. Translated content:
She can become a special existence, but she cannot become the endpoint of the organization's goals.
Her identity was stripped away, and she was injected with a large amount of pregnancy hormones and sex hormones. Her body began to grow in a pathological manner, and her non-functional uterus developed into a tumor. Unable to reproduce through embryo reproduction, she resorts to spore reproduction. Translation: "
女人的意识也逐渐消散，最终完全由本能驱使，她不断的向外扩散诱导因子，哺育着前来的每一只怪物，同时怪物们也不断的带来贡品，享受着那个特殊的感觉。
This pheromone substance is addictive to monsters, causing them to become obsessed and crazed. The Creator took advantage of this and extracted the corresponding pheromones, conducting frantic research on related drugs.
This variant has also been officially named "Yuzhu" by the Island Nation.
……
星辰等人在庇护所里已经呆了三天，大家没有一个良好的行动计，创世的位置迟迟不能确定，而那个火山口里的怪物也没有办法消灭。
The plane has crashed and there are no suitable means of transportation for evacuation.
At this moment, all we can do is silently chant "When the car gets to the mountain, there must be a road."
“如果有载具就好了。”克拉克很是无聊的坐在墙边，石壁上已经被他刻上了各种古老的文字。
"We have checked the surroundings of the city, and the usable resources are extremely scarce, as if someone had cleared them out." Hui replied.
"That's why I believe the Genesis must be here, only we haven't found the entrance." Maji looked towards the entrance of the cave.
"If we were enemies, where would we set the entrance?" Xingchen also began pondering, knowing that the opposing side possesses advanced technological capabilities, the entry method is certainly unconventional.
文乐敲打键盘，“如果是我，那入口一定是重机械化装置，比如巨大的升降设备，多重防护的巨型，这种设计就算有人发现单靠人力也无法进入。”文乐想着以前看过一些岛国动漫，有一部他特别喜欢，讲的是人类驾驶机甲与怪物对抗的故事。
Lobby entrance? Yeah, you're right! We never paid attention to those large-sized objects during our previous inspections. But what if their entrance is huge?
After sorting, there are a few suspicious points. Firstly, there are several small areas in the city that have been cleaned quite thoroughly, and the houses in those areas are all low-rise, which make them ideal for staging and evacuation zones.
The second is the collapse location of the buildings, which is extremely unnatural and even gives a sense of concealment.
Lastly, one cannot help but suspect the volcano, despite the presence of many monsters there, it is the most suitable defense entrance.
Team plan, exploration again! We will start from the nearest urban area and gradually approach the volcanic region. Before this operation, we specially used the collected communication electric circles to make some simple metal detection devices.
同时大家也在思考，怎样才能消灭火山当中的怪物，最简单的方法就是焚烧，但那个地方根本没有什么可燃物质，总不可能要大家一根一根的扛木头上去吧。
The remaining equipment only includes three grenades, which may not be enough to destroy all the monsters and embryos even if thrown all together. The range and intensity of the explosion is definitely not sufficient.
Hmm!
Xingchen seems to have thought of something. He rummages through his backpack that he always carries with him, and inside, he finds a black plastic bag. He carefully takes it out and then opens it.
Still dry.
There are two types of minerals in it: saltpetre and sulfide.
It has been in the corner of my backpack for a long time, almost forgetting about it. This is the mineral resource I collected when I first met the father and daughter, Fang Tian.
The minerals were taken out and the people present quickly realized that this is the basic raw material for gunpowder, only lacking carbon! This can be easily resolved. At the same time, there is a small fuel tank containing aviation fuel behind the crashed plane. The combination of the two will surely have unexpected effects!
So the whole team divided their tasks, Fang Tian brought Clark back to the crash site to retrieve fuel, the Iwata father and daughter went out to gather daily supplies, Xingchen and Maji went to investigate suspicious locations, while the remaining team members, under Hui's leadership, worked on grinding and preparing gunpowder.
Everyone, act according to the plan!
……
Inside the island nation's founding base, everything seems normal. The highest commander, Mr. K, is currently organizing the experimental data from recent days. Under his leadership, the progress of the island nation's creation experiment is advancing rapidly, surpassing even some sections of the headquarters. Translated:
In a short while, someone will come to take over his position, and he will be able to peacefully proceed to the headquarters of Creation, where there is a secluded paradise - "Pure Land", free from worldly conflicts and monster disturbances.
Data uploaded, he got up and walked into a cryogenic laboratory where many experimental subjects, including his wife and daughter, were frozen. They had both been infected by a virus to different extents and their bodies had undergone mutations in certain areas. In order to revert them back to humans, K took advantage of his position to keep them in low-temperature storage, waiting for the development of a special antidote that could cure them.
Coming here to chat with the ice cabinet is his daily routine. He is currently reaching an emotional climax when suddenly an alarm goes off, and the ground starts shaking!
An earthquake?
No! It's the sound of an explosion that reaches his ears. The bodyguards quickly rush into the laboratory, protecting k's safety.
What happened? What happened? K is evacuating.
"Unknown group has invaded, sir! They have destroyed our third access point and are entering."
"Subject 1?"
"No! It's another group, there are more than 20 individuals captured on surveillance!"
"Who are they, in the end!" In K's anger, there was also discontent. Why is the information of Island Nation Creation leaked so frequently? Translation: "
“Could it be Number 107?” k asked the relevant personnel.
“It seems highly unlikely, as the information shows that he is a mutant in his 70s with no exceptional abilities. The locator indicates that he has been hovering along the coastline.” The researcher clearly believes that there is another person behind the attacks.
The explosion sound continues to resound as the defense structures of Genesis are fully deployed, even the mutants and experimental subjects have been mobilized. The team members are equipped with specialized electromagnetic weapons and biochemical weapons.
K focused on monitoring and saw that the intruders were all dressed in black cloaks, and underneath the cloaks were mutants!
There were even beings similar to No. 23!
He really wanted to capture them alive, but he couldn't underestimate their combat power. From their actions, he could deduce that this was a professionally trained team that had thoroughly studied the layout of the island's Genesis Base!
There are a total of four defense lines at the Genesis Base, and now the intruders have already breached two defense lines. It will be dangerous if this continues! K pressed the defense switch, and the invasion space began to fill with gas. This gas was officially developed through the modification of the nurturing column induction element and is extremely deadly to mutants, as well as humans.
There are still many soldiers in the combat zone, but there is no time to worry about that. As the gas spreads, human soldiers collapse first, and some mutants also sense something unusual and begin to retreat.
……
地面，马吉和星辰本来正在排查可疑地点，突然的爆炸声吸引了两人，离他们不远就在前方，他们悄悄的前进，藏在那些断壁残垣之后。
A section of the road collapsed after being bombed, to be precise, the entrance was blasted open!
Standing at the edge of the enormous crater are three "people". In the middle stands a mutant with four limbs, but his figure appears rather frail, or one could even say elderly.
On the left side of the mutant stood a towering man, standing at nearly 2.5 meters tall. His cloak only reached his waist, and his arm circumference exceeded even that of Xingchen's! Moreover, his entire body was black, in line with the characteristics of a mutant. The presence of this tall man was incredibly intimidating.
While on the right stood a woman, there were no visible signs of mutation on her appearance. She had a tall and slender figure, but what caught most attention was her white hair.
In addition, intuition was telling Xingchen that the woman was extremely dangerous!
Ma Ji was carefully scrutinizing the other person.
His gaze noticed the woman, and suddenly she turned her head, locking eyes with Ma Ji!
She's been spotted!
The woman quickly rushed towards him! At the same time, she drew a short knife from her waist. Translated:
Ma Ji's reaction was also quick, instantly pulling out the handgun from his waist, aiming and shooting.
Seeing that the woman did not dodge, still facing the impact, the bullet reached her face, but she turned her head and narrowly avoided it, brushing past her shoulder! Translation: The situations described in the given text are dangerous and intense.
In the blink of an eye, he had already reached in front.
In one fluid motion, he swung his right hand, targeting directly at Ma Ji's neck. The entire process was incredibly fast, far beyond what the stars could compare to! At the critical moment, he pulled Ma Ji in front of him and his right hand mutated, growing bone spikes to protect himself!
"Enough! Stop, Fifteen!" The mutated being, who appeared old, spoke as the blade was less than ten centimeters away from the star.
The mutated being and the burly man beside him approached the star, who had now fully mutated and was protecting Magi in their arms!
The change in the stars causes the three people in front to have a shocked expression, as if they have seen a rare beast!
Stars at this moment are highly nervous, facing three opponents he doesn't have the slightest chance of winning, it is very likely that he will die without knowing why.
这时后方的塌陷处，越来越多的变异体从塌陷里爬出，他们都面露难色，在撤退的过程当中有些个体还是吸食到了有毒气体，现在身体的器官正在病变。
The elderly individual noticed this and realized that the operation had failed. He uttered a deep voice, commanding everyone to retreat as the mutants gradually disappeared.
The aging mutant was none other than Number 107. As he left, he looked towards the stars and said, "You should also evacuate quickly. The creators are about to catch up!"
Xingchen watched their figures receding and asked, "Who are you?"
"We are mutants like you, called 'Wanderers,' fighting for victory. We will meet again, and I hope you can join us then!" The figure had already vanished, only the voice lingered.
【Author’s aside】: There will definitely be a few more chapters updated on Thursday!
这两天忙着找工作，到处奔波，小说都是在车上写的，思绪老是被打断，哭唧唧。
