Chapter 117 What Did You Do?

Ling Zihan did not refute this: "Okay! I have a clear understanding of the past and future of this world. Cyborg transformation has played an important role in the formation of the real world. If I guess correctly, everyone The significant reduction of human biological tissue, coupled with the addition of a metal protective layer containing lead-based substances on the body surface through mechanical transformation, finally opened the doors of bases and shelters, allowing humans to return to the surface?"

Victoria nodded: "Yes...but...it is not accurate to say that returning to the surface."

Ling Zihan asked: "The coverage of the black cloud has increased again?"

Victoria replied: "It spread to the entire surface of the earth. The surface you speak of, at that time has become underground."

"It's just that it's not the underground in the traditional sense, but the underground that was deliberately created by mysterious forces and continues to this day."

Ling Zihan leaned back on the sofa, his deep eyes reflected an inexplicable light.

He never thought of exploring the so-called secrets before, although this world is full of too many secrets.

Thoughts are one thing, living in reality is another.

Humans know that beyond the earth is space, where there are countless planets, and there are also legendary aliens with big eyes and small bodies, who are definitely not beautiful and extremely ugly.

Space, alien planets, aliens... These are also secrets, and they are also important secrets that shock everyone.

But why are the general public indifferent to this?
Because they are too far away from themselves.

In contrast, you should still be concerned about how much a kilogram of rice sells, how many lunch boxes you can buy with the income of a month of hard work, and whether you can afford to support your wife and children.

The same goes for Ling Zihan.

Early on he knew the sky was unnaturally dark.

But just think about it.

The garbage mountain got its name because of the amount of garbage that is regularly thrown from the sky.

Its source must be those who live above the black clouds that cover the sky.

Who are they?

Why are they blocking the sky?

They...or should be called "they".

What kind of intelligent species is the other party?
Like most people, Ling Zihan also likes the bright world and wants to see the legendary sun with his own eyes.

Because it has something to do with his immediate interests—most mutant beasts are afraid of fire, and direct light sources have a very good deterrent effect on them.To put it simply, it is to bring a strong flashlight when hunting. As long as the beam is used to cover the mutant beasts, they will instinctively feel afraid, thus buying a few seconds of precious reaction time for the hunter.

After thinking for a long time, Ling Zihan asked seriously: "Those black clouds... I mean, who is blocking the sky?"

This is what he cares most about right now.

Unfortunately, Victoria couldn't give him the answer he wanted: "I don't know."

Ling Zihan thought for a moment, then changed the question: "Why did you tell me this? I know some things will never be made public. But... why did you choose me?"

"Because you are different from other people." Victoria smiled, and the surface of her fat and elderly round face became more and more wrinkled: "Remember the blood sample you gave me last time?"

Ling Zihan smiled slightly. In fact, he had already guessed that the reason why he was invited here was probably related to this matter: "It seems that I am more or less valuable in the eyes of you doctors. According to you, I should be regarded as A rather special little white mouse that still works?"

Victoria did not hide the information: "Your blood sample has passed the initial test. Judging from the characteristics you have shown so far, your world ranking is No.15."

Ling Zihan was stunned for a moment, then asked suspiciously: "World ranking? What does this mean?"

Victoria explained: "In this world, there are very few humans with special physiques."

Ling Zihan was very sensitive to this: "Are you referring to people with supernatural abilities?"

Victoria corrected and emphasized: "Supernatural beings are just a type of special physique. I will explain this in detail. In fact, as early as many years ago, in the old era before the war broke out, humans with special physiques already existed."

"In the old calendar, that is, in 48, the Russian Sergey Shale became the first officially recorded human being with a special physique. The reason why he is special is not that he can fly into the sky and escape from the ground like Superman, but that he is [-] years old. When he was convicted of theft, he was exiled to Siberia to serve his sentence and found that he was not afraid of the cold and could move freely outdoors even naked.”

"Seryozha's situation caused a sensation in the local area. A priest of the Orthodox Church preached it as a miracle and declared that Sergesha was a saint. But this priest's behavior was not approved by the upper echelon of the Orthodox Church, and Sergey Denounced as a heretic, he died at the mouth of a bear while out hunting."

Ling Zihan smiled softly: "I'm not afraid of the cold... Is this considered a special constitution?"

Victoria said seriously: "You have never been to Siberia. The winter there is extremely cold. According to historical records, the officer supervising the exiles was drunk at the time. He stripped off Serezha's clothes and ordered him to walk naked on the snow. It was more than two kilometers to the residence. It was a low-temperature environment of minus [-] degrees Celsius, and all the people present thought that Seryozha must die, but he walked back all the way in good spirits."

"Strictly speaking, there have been many human beings with special physiques in history. However, because the recorded content was confusing and the words were inconsistent, most of the so-called historical materials were later proven to be deliberately forged by the recorders in order to gain attention. From Zero Zero Zero One , that is, starting from Seryozha, we sorted out relevant historical materials."

Ling Zihan raised a question about this: "Since the organization was only started at a later stage, why did Xie Liaosha be designated as zero and one? Could it be that the United Doctors Association was established as early as [-]?"

Victoria explained: "At that time, there was an army doctor named Andrei Yevgeny, whose public identity was an Orthodox clergyman. Yevgeny was surprised by Seryosha's performance, so he used the excuse of a health check. Three hundred milliliters of blood were taken from him for sampling and analysis." Ling Zihan said lightly: "I feel that my experience is exactly the same as this, and you also took a blood sample from me."

"This is an indispensable process and method." Victoria was unmoved by this half-sarcasm and half-joking words, and she continued her unfinished narration: "Limited by the medical technology at that time and the environmental constraints of Siberia, Yevgai Ni’s research on blood samples can only stay at the superficial stage. But even so, he still unexpectedly found that the number of red blood cells in Sergei Shale’s body was 20.00% higher than that of ordinary people. What’s even more strange is that a considerable part of the red blood cells have nuclei.”

Ling Zihan was attracted by the last sentence: "How is this possible?"

Victoria has been watching his eyes and expression: "This is a fact. All the materials and records recognized by the United Doctors Association are facts. The authenticity of them has been verified repeatedly, and there is no possibility of falsification."

Ling Zihan still had an expression of disbelief on his face, he shook his head: "This is too strange, a grown man's red blood cells actually have nuclei... Even if this kind of thing is told, no one will believe it."

Victoria said: "That's why we define Seryozha as the first human being with a special physique in history. I don't care about the ones that appeared before, because there is no detailed information, but after him, with the continuous improvement of human civilization and various social systems , more and more relevant records are available, and the number of cases available for analysis and investigation also increases. After the establishment of the Doctors United Association, the "Special Human Investigation Section" was established."

Ling Zihan smiled: "I'm starting to understand what you mean by world ranking. But why is my ranking so high? There are so many people in the world, even if I am a supernatural person, but before me...well, I It means that there are too many records of supernatural beings, and taking Floating Cloud City as an example, I know of two supernatural beings. Looking at other cities and other settlements, the number of supernatural beings is not even hundreds Thousands, there are always dozens of them.”

Victoria's answer was as rigid as a machine, and it contained her usual accuracy of numbers: "The total number of supernatural beings recorded at present is 640. The vast majority of them are earth-type supernatural beings, and water-type supernatural beings have There are five people in 68, and [-] people in the wind department. The fire department is the least, only [-] people."

Ling Zihan asked slowly: "68...including me?"

"Yes." When Victoria replied, a strange gleam subconsciously flashed in her eyes.

Ling Zihan continued to ask: "Why are there so few people with fire abilities? Is there any special reason for this?"

Victoria cleared her throat: "Let me first explain why your world ranking is so high! The ranking of special physiques is not in chronological order. In other words, no matter whether the target individual appears...or should be said to be discovered sooner or later, for Ranking order will not matter."

"Everyone's physique is different, especially from the changes at the cell and gene levels, which determine the strength of the individual and the level of special ingredients."

"The ranking of fifteen is a conclusion reached after comprehensive computer analysis. There is no trace of human factors involved."

Ling Zihan narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously: "You mean, you don't know why I got this ranking?"

Victoria nodded, her expression was extremely firm: "The computer can't make mistakes. We only believe in the data and test results. As for your question just now, why the number of fire-type superhumans is relatively small... I don't know the specific reason But for a long time, there has been a saying in the bases and shelters that although the impact of the moon debris on the earth caused the destruction of the natural world, the root cause of the real disaster on the earth is those black clouds."

"To some extent, our living environment is actually isolated from the world. Living underground for a long time has resulted in a large number of earth-type supernatural beings. The water system is ranked ahead of the wind system because the groundwater is rich in reserves, and the airflow fluctuates in the air. The closed underground space will not cause much impact, so the wind-type supernatural powers come after."

"As for the fire ability... It is said that it is related to the sun."

Victoria paused for a moment, and continued: "This is just a legend, and it has not been officially recognized."

Ling Zihan did not continue to ask questions.

He felt that Victoria had said all she could say.This silver-haired, obese old woman seemed to have a great affection for herself, and she really knew everything and said everything.

"Why are you telling me this?" Ling Zihan leaned his upper body forward and approached the other party slowly, his heart and eyes were full of questions with the same meaning: "I feel that compared to the last time we met, you seem to have changed. A lot."

He clearly remembered that when he first came into contact with Victoria in this building last time, Liu Mingquan was by his side.Victoria felt very proud to Ling Zihan.

This is the Eastern Continent, where white people have no social status, not even a dog.

Of course, Victoria is a doctor, and she has her own professional aura.So in front of Ling Zihan, a lowly "wandering social animal", it's normal to be reserved or arrogant.

However, today, whether she just walked into the room before or at this moment, Victoria has no emotional blessing from her identity at all.Her eyes and demeanor were extremely humble, and she did not have a superior tone.Several times, Ling Zihan felt that Victoria was so humble that she almost knelt at her feet.

He even had a strange feeling—as long as he opened his mouth, Victoria would take off his clothes, without reservation, and show everything in front of him in the most exaggerated posture.

Victoria doesn't deny it, just admits it in a way that's veiled with an essential femininity: "The change comes from you."

"What are you referring to?" Ling Zihan asked without even thinking about opening his mouth.

For some unknown reason, Victoria suddenly became a little hesitant: "We...I mean we can cooperate in certain aspects...I mean what you want, what you want."

These words sound a bit complicated, but Ling Zihan clearly felt the rich meaning hidden in them.

"Cooperation?" He looked at the other party again with inquiring eyes, on the one hand for confirmation, and on the other hand to find out more.

Under such sharp gazes, Victoria fidgeted.She twisted her body back and forth on the sofa, her fat buttocks rubbed against the soft cushion, and the shape of the cover covering the surface of the sofa was completely changed, like a mess that was difficult to sort out.

She opened her mouth to speak, but closed it again for some reason.

Ling Zihan observed all this silently.

Suddenly, an unprecedented strange thought flooded into his brain.

This thought even surprised Ling Zihan himself, but to a certain extent, it just confirmed some of his previous thoughts.

He suddenly sat up straight, pointed at Victoria sitting opposite him: "Stand up!"
