She rushed up and grabbed Zhou You's hand, rubbed her fingertips on the palm, felt the sticky feeling again, and then sighed: "Yes! This is it. Last night, boss, your whole body was secreting this
Snail-like mucus. It's a little disgusting, but it's not a big problem. It can be wiped off completely. As long as you are not injured, this stuff will not be secreted. Uh, why is this completely different from humans? Boss, you are still here
Human?"
Zhou You was silent for a long time.
He didn't know how to answer for a moment.
From an evolutionary perspective, there must be a huge difference between myself and ordinary humans.
But if the evolution brought about by his so-called transcendental awakening essentially allows humans to obtain complete genetic information from organic molecules to all species experienced today, and can express it, then he is actually still human.
The fact is that even in the gene pool of previous humans, all information from organic molecules to the human race itself has been completely left behind.
It's just that this information has been covered up.
The human gene pool is like the more failed work of a long-lived failed programmer.
In more than three billion years of programming history, this programmer has continued to add code in order to adapt more functions.
But this programmer always only does addition, not subtraction.
Whenever new functionality is needed, programmers add more stuff into the code.
As for the accumulated old code that points to old functions that are no longer needed, programmers neither delete nor overwrite them. Instead, they add a separate section to the code just to offset the old functions left behind by the old code that are no longer needed.
What stands out about the assembly process of this code is that it is arbitrary, and the main thing is whether it is surprising or not.
But no matter how the code is randomly combined, in the end it can always run through seemingly random couplings.
Programmers sometimes behave like monsters and just roll their faces on the keyboard. They don't even know what they have typed and what weird consequences it will have.
Various mutations, either good or bad, which can directly lead to death, have appeared.
Face-rolling keyboards usually cause disasters, but there is always a very small chance of making a mistake and leaving some good results.
In short, the irresponsible behavior of programmers has made the entire code become larger and more bloated. More than three billion years after the birth of life on earth, humans with the most complex brains and the most troublesome physiological structures have reached unprecedented levels.
The pinnacle of hugeness.
In fact, human beings actually still completely retain all the individual information of every transition stage they have experienced from organic molecules to the sophisticated structure they have today.
For example, the human spine can be traced back to when the ancestor of human beings was still a fish in the sea.
Another example is human egg cells. Going back further, they are essentially the same as eggs laid by our ancestors who were oviparous reptiles.
What's even more outrageous is that Zhou You also came to another conclusion based on his own observation experience, that is, he believes that humans actually still retain the potential to revert from viviparous mammals to oviparous animals to some extent.
Even now.
However, it is no longer realized through biological means, but through technological means.
If we create an artificial womb now and use this artificial womb to simulate the amniotic fluid environment and provide nutrients and oxygen to help the fertilized egg complete the process of developing from embryo to baby, then the essence of this artificial womb is actually an egg.
The human embryo is actually the core part of the yolk inside the egg.
Although the artificial womb is not made by the human body based on biological instinct, but is the crystallization of human wisdom, but who is qualified to judge that this process of human beings showing wisdom and using technology to work and create an artificial womb is not another more complicated process.
What about biological instincts?
"Boss? What are you thinking about, boss?"
Seeing Zhou You thinking and starting to wander again, Luo Xun waved her hand in front of him and shouted.
Zhou You came back to his senses, smiled, and said indifferently: "I should know in a few days whether I am still a human or not."
Luo Xun was puzzled: "Ah? How do you say that?"
Zhou You calculated the time and said, "People from the National Academy of Sciences will be here in a few days. Will I know everything if I ask them to check it out? It's a pity that it's not convenient to contact me now, otherwise I would be quite curious about these things that were originally intended for me."
How will the people who came here to watch my second transcendental awakening react when they know that I have completed my third transcendental awakening?"
Luo Xun was stunned, "Ah? Have you really awakened beyond your limits again?"
"Yeah." Zhou You nodded.
Then Zhou You picked up his right hand again.
He stared at the back of his right hand and recalled in his mind the genetic characteristics of the scaly lizard-like reptiles that competed with dinosaurs in ancient times.
Subsequently, the skin color on the back of Zhou You's hand began to darken, the surface became keratinized, and black nails formed in just a few seconds.
"Ah! What is this!"
Luo Xun on the side was shocked.
Zhou You smiled, but did not explain, and just controlled the scales to fall off on their own.
After the scales fell off, he was left with a bunch of small wounds on his hands, but they quickly healed as before.
After another attempt, Zhou You further confirmed that what he now possesses is to extract the genetic modules of ancient creatures that have appeared on the earth, and reproduce them on his body, transforming a certain part or all of the body into other creatures.
ability.
The earth's genetic treasure house hidden in his body has been reopened by him.
Zhou You still doesn't know if he is the first person to complete the third transcendental awakening.
But now, he is ready to "boldly" name this third transcendental awakening.
In his mind, he called it a retro-ancient simulation.
Zhou You stood up, stretched, grabbed a new set of clothes from the side, put them on his body, and said: "Okay, now that I have recovered, there is no need for treatment. I am a little hungry now.
, go out to have something to eat. Luo Xun, you probably haven’t had any rest all night, right? Go and take a nap, the dark circles under your eyes are coming out.”
After saying that, Zhou You walked aside and opened the small door of the treatment room.
The treatment room is on the dashboard of his own hybrid off-road vehicle.
His wandering eyes passed through the car window and looked outside.
Now the team has all returned to the supermarket.
The comprehensive renovation work surrounding the supermarket open-air parking lot is still in full swing.
His wandering eyes turned aside.
He saw an iron cage there.
There were about forty suspects lying staggering in the iron cage, looking listless.
Among these more than 40 people, the vast majority are men, and only a few are women.
The distance is a bit far, so it’s hard to see the faces of these people clearly when traveling around, and it’s impossible to judge each other’s mental state.
But just as he was thinking this, Zhou You suddenly felt the focus of his eyes begin to change.
The scene in the cage in the distance quickly became clear.
This feeling is exactly the same as when he uses an optical zoom telescope to aim at something, then adjusts the focus and refocuses.
Yes, this is because I unconsciously used the eagle's long-distance vision ability.
Not to mention, this ancient simulation is indeed very taxing on the body.
He was already a little hungry in his stomach, but now he was even hungrier.
Zhou You said to himself: "It seems that this ancient simulation ability needs to be controlled a little and cannot be used frequently, otherwise the consumption will be unbearable. I have to eat dozens of meals a day."
Zhou You slid off the car along the rope, and then walked towards the dining car in the cafeteria.
When passing by others, everyone greeted him one after another, either saying hello to Mr. Zhou, or imitating Luo Xun and saying hello to the boss.
Whether they were the people rescued from Dujiacun or the slaves and hostages newly rescued last night, these people all respected him extraordinarily.
Zhou You didn't make any noise at all, and responded to everyone politely.
While eating in the dining car in the cafeteria, Zhou You felt a little down for no reason.
He raised his neck and looked around, and saw Wang Yefeng in the corner of the dining car.
This heroic girl, who was so high-spirited yesterday and seemed to be invincible under any difficulties, now looked depressed and listless.
She didn't even concentrate on eating. She chewed a few mouthfuls and then fell into a daze again.
She looked completely out of place, giving people the feeling of being in a state of trance.
What's even more outrageous is that there is a bottle of essential oil next to her hand.
From time to time, she would pick up the bottle of Fengyoujing and blow it directly into her mouth. Her gesture was even more terrifying than the people in the past who would grab the bottle of Erguotou and blow it into their mouth.
Zhou You knew the reason for his depression.
Although he did not actively activate the third-level transcendental ability, some changes quietly occurred deep in his brain, and he had the ability to capture the brain waves released by other creatures when they engage in mental activities.
This is a bit like birds' induction of the geomagnetic field, but it may also be similar to the brain wave communication ability displayed by mice today.
Just when Zhou You was about to stand up to stop Wang Yefeng's Menfeng Youjing feat, he suddenly noticed that the other party's mood suddenly took a 180-degree turn, from decadence and depression to determination, with a hint of
A little crazy.
Wang Yefeng stood up suddenly, grabbed his sword on the table and walked out.
At this time, Zhou You happened to appear at the table.
Wang Yefeng was hit full of arms, screamed, and almost fell down.
Zhou You stretched out one hand to hold her shoulders, and with the other hand, he grabbed the bottle of Fengyoujing that had not yet been capped, brought it to his nose and smelled it.
Oh, luckily it's not Fengyoujing, it contains high-strength alcohol.
But this person is so depressed that he resorts to drinking to drown his sorrows, which is not a good thing.
Zhou You's frown relaxed slightly.
"Zhou...Mr. Zhou, why are you here?"
Wang Yefeng came back to her senses, saw Zhou You with a serious expression in front of her, and asked nervously.
Zhou You pointed to the seat next to him and motioned for Wang Yefeng to sit down.
After the two of them sat down again, he asked: "You seem to be in a very low mood. Tell me what happened."
Wang Yefeng was silent for a moment, and then scratched his hair hard, as if he wanted to pull off his scalp, and sighed heavily, "Mr. Zhou, you know the reason why I stare at East Lake No. 1 is because Save my good friend?"
"Oh, by the way, I'm sorry I forgot to ask how your bestie is doing now? Have you found someone? Is she okay?"
During the operation last night, Zhou You's focus was entirely on annihilating the enemy, and he really didn't care much about the hostage rescue work.
After he killed Shen Hua and took off the ignition control switch, he fell asleep again shortly after. He really didn't know the situation of the hostages.
"People are still alive." Wang Yefeng responded.
"That's good. Living is more important than anything else. Where did you find the person?"
Wang Yefeng: "It's in Shen Hua's house in the left corner of the conference room. In addition to my friends, there are also Shen Hua's high school teachers and several women. They have no awareness of what is happening outside, and they seem extremely She was so numb that she didn’t even ask for help. After the sweep, I counted the people in each room and finally found her and others. But her condition... was very bad."
"Huh? How do you say it?"
"I have no idea what Shen Hua did to them. But three of the eight people rescued with her... tried to commit suicide last night. I saw that she also had this sign, and at first I just stared I was looking at her, but then she immediately wanted to jump off the height as soon as I turned my back. I was so frightened that I quickly asked Dr. Lin for an anesthetic and gave it to her. Now she is still sleeping. But I can only I dared to tie her to the bed and put cotton in her mouth, just to prevent her from biting her tongue and committing suicide. I am also very confused now and don’t know how to enlighten her. I can’t keep giving her anesthesia, but I really mean it. I'm afraid that as soon as she wakes up, she will be bent on seeking death."
Zhou You frowned and asked, "Then how long will it take for her to wake up? What did you want to do just now?"
Wang Yefeng's face turned pale, "Doctor Lin said there is still about an hour left. I just... I was thinking just now that maybe this incident has really hit her too hard and her psychology has collapsed. If it doesn't work, I will give her a happy life myself."
"Nonsense!" Zhou You shouted in a serious tone, "Living is the most important thing. Do you want to live with guilt for the rest of your life?"
Wang Yefeng was startled by his sudden shouting, and said a little aggrievedly, "But... Ding Ling is really a good girl in her life, and she has never been in love. She is also very traditional. I want to feel these The encounter may have been too cruel for her, so I..."
"Okay, I get it. Don't be anxious now. I'll go and have a look with you after I have dinner. I may have a lot of experience in enlightening people now. There's no such truth. I was still there before. When the hostages were being tortured, they could persevere, but after being rescued, they couldn't think about it anymore. I won't agree to this."
…
Twenty minutes later, Zhou You and Wang Yefeng appeared in the medical vehicle.
In order to treat a total of more than 60 severe patients with complete mental disorders and signs of self-mutilation, a special critical area for mentally ill patients was opened in the medical vehicle.
When I walked into the critical care area, I heard all kinds of ghosts crying and howling.
The condition of these patients is indeed very bad.
Many of them had their hands, feet, and limbs fixed to the bed, and their violent struggles even made the bed board rattle.
Some people were even put on restraints that tightly trapped their whole bodies, and they were writhing like insects on the hospital bed.
There are also people who, even though they are under control, still try to bang their heads against the bed board.
When a psychiatrist from Lelai County Hospital who was responsible for these patients saw Zhou You coming, he quickly stepped forward to complain and take responsibility, "Mr. Zhou, look at these patients. Alas, I have occupied communication resources many times.
, we held a whole-night consultation meeting with colleagues in the county, but we really can’t come up with any good solutions for a while now. Many of these patients have family members, and their family members have also come to see them.
But it was better when the family members didn't come. When they saw their relatives and friends, the disease became more serious. This... well, it's all because of my incompetence... If I could be more powerful..."
