My Boss, the White-haired Nun

"After all, I can live for a long time. The seven generations of plants are not worth mentioning to me. I can renew it ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand words. But after a thousand times? If I am gone What? What if I die?"

"I'm very strong, strong enough to protect it for a thousand or ten thousand years." Gong Ming said softly to the silent Ji Zi.

"But a thousand years and ten thousand years is not forever after all..."

"..."

Both fell silent.

"... Rhododendrons are diploid just like humans." After a moment of silence, Gong Ming said suddenly.

"Diploid means that it has two sets of chromosomes corresponding to each other. The even number in this place has the meaning of sexual reproduction. Among the two groups, it has thirteen pairs of twenty-six chromosomes, with tens of thousands of functional genes strip."

The man spoke seriously, but seemed to be saying completely inexplicable words.

"These genes are in charge of its germination to withering, from budding to withering. Every branching, leafing, flowering, and fruiting. Every growth, development, and reproduction, and then the growth, development, and reproduction of the next generation. The cycle repeats , go round and round. Guarantee its reproduction from generation to generation, and survive the rain, snow and wind and frost again and again."

"And these tens of thousands of genes all come from its tens of millions of years of self-reliance, evolution, survival, difficult adaptation to the environment, and every change in nature." Gong Ming stared into Ji Zi's eyes.

"None of them were given to him by others."

"..."

"Under this nature, any kind of creature has to do its best to survive. For Rhododendron, even such tens of thousands of genes account for even [-]% of its total DNA sequence. None. More than [-]% of the genes in each of its cells are useless, but those genes represent [possibility].”

"These useless DNA sequences will have a very small probability of mutation during each generation of reproduction to produce new genes with certain new functions. Every generation of this race is stockpiling these 'new functions' to be ready for the next generation. A certain cleansing will come due to a certain reason at a certain time in the future. In that big cleansing, maybe a certain individual will survive because of having a certain 'new function'. This race will continue to be passed on. "

"And yet that's 'evolution,' that's 'screening,' and that's 'nature.'"

Gong Ming finally took his hand off the peony.Almost in an instant, the green leaves above were all withered and yellow, the red flowers withered, and it returned to its previous appearance.

"The gene map is the cruelest storybook in the world." The red-haired man said lightly.

"Because from what you see today, every function that it should have as a matter of course is behind a catastrophe that almost wiped out its entire family."

"I can protect it for a thousand or ten thousand years, which is far longer than a generation of cuckoos can survive." The man looked at Ji Zi and smiled softly.

That smile was gentle and pure, with broad-mindedness and relief.

"But compared to the tens of millions of years it has evolved alone, these ten thousand years... are actually nothing, right?"

"...Does it have to be this time?"

However, the red-haired woman remained silent, and after a long time, she looked at Gong Ming with a bitter face.

"You said you could keep Mei and the others, but what about your other students? What about everyone at St. Freya Academy? Are those pasts and ties...not important?"

"Hey?"

This time it was Gong Ming's turn to be surprised. The man was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly started laughing as if he had realized something.

"Why, didn't Xier tell you last night?"

"...What did you say?" Ji Zi was taken aback for a moment, and then, as if realizing something, his expression began to change slightly.

"As far as I'm concerned, I definitely hope that this time will be delayed as long as possible. After all, the truth is so logical, but after all these years of getting along, there will definitely be feelings." The man said with a smile as if he had no grievances.

"But sometimes, things don't go my way."

The man suddenly took a step forward, and when Ji Zi was still at a loss, he hugged the red-haired woman in front of him into his arms.

Between the two thin layers of cloth of their clothes, their chests were pressed against each other under Gong Ming's movements.

This should have been a rather charming scene, but soon, Ji Zi's face turned pale.

Because from under Gong Ming's chest...

There was no heartbeat.

Only then did she remember that this man had already given all the two Herrscher cores a year ago.How much power is there in this body now...

"The flower farmer never took the initiative to give up his beloved garden, he just couldn't hold his little kettle anymore."

Gong Ming chuckled in her ear.

"That's all."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

There was smoke and flames.

There are flying Honkai beasts everywhere, and there are smoke and dust splashed when the artillery fire falls everywhere.The place where the line of sight reaches is gray, the hearing has long been blurred by the continuous explosions, and everything around is a little alienated as if separated by some barrier.It was as if everything had gone away from her, and there were only endless waves of purple and white beasts left in the whole world.

Cannon fire, roar, gravel, blood donation.

Block, slash, dismember, disfigure.

The shadow cast by the white dragon fluttering its wings above the dome covered the entire land, and the steel floating battleships lined up in a row, and each muzzle was tilting fire.The Valkyries mixed with steel mechas and Houkai beasts fought each other on the ground, walking on the battlefield like a puppet without a soul, and then dying in a stupid way.It's as if this isn't two races of creatures fighting each other, but a meat grinder rumbling through thousands of souls.

Thousands of knight-shaped Honkai beast arrays as high as a two-story building drove their mounts to charge, bringing up smoke and dust all over the sky, and using their strong bones to withstand the firepower to tear apart the layers of steel defenses Directly pointing at the headquarters of the human defense line.But it was smashed into a mess by the armored cavalry units rushing over from the flank.Hundreds of Valkyries drove two-meter-high and five-meter-long armed motorcycles that engulfed the entire body, charged directly into the formation of the knights with a huge collision angle, and rushed abruptly with the huge kinetic energy galloping forward. Knocking them into pieces, including the man and the horse, disintegrated their offensive in an instant.But then the armored knight was trampled into a discus by the earth-shaking steps of a giant species tens of meters high, and the chariot-shaped Honkai beast tens of meters high sadly clung to countless dead soldiers roaring and trampling everything into dust. , and then was killed by the laser bombardment from high altitude through the head.

Death, death, death, still death.

Swords and flames flowed across the earth, and the god of death laughed wildly in mid-air and harvested the dead.There was no crying or whining, or maybe it was just too hard to hear because of the damaged hearing.People stepped onto the battlefield in silence and then died in silence, everything was so quiet, it was so quiet that one could feel chills down the spine.

"What are you doing?!"

Ji Zi suddenly pulled out a Valkyrie who was wandering with a machine gun from under the attack range of a sprinting Honkai Beast, and slapped her across the face.
