The Dragon That Devours the World - v1Chapter 187
The man listened to his companion, but was silent for a long time, holding the wine bottle in his hand, spinning it unconsciously, and then lowered his head with a complicated expression.
“Humanity is over.”
He just repeated it softly, raising his head to drink.
Yes, mankind is over. To this day, there are still many monsters in space, but mankind is on the verge of extinction. It is unknown whether there are other human beings besides this settlement.
Whether it is desperate or struggling, everything is in vain, it is better to drink this wine at this last moment.
But the companion just leaned against the wall, and then stared blankly at the ancient machine. At this moment, the ancient machine no longer made a sound, but he didn’t adjust it anymore.
“How great.”
Suddenly, the companion sighed.
“Ok?”
“What a great… what a beautiful time.”
For the man’s doubts, the companion just whispered.
And looking at this companion, the man sneered.
“No matter how beautiful it is, it’s useless. It won’t be long before mankind will be extinct.”
The companion didn’t refute, but just nodded slightly.
“Maybe, but at the end I still want to leave something in this universe.”
“what you up to?”
The man raised his eyebrows, his expression puzzled.
The companion did not explain too much, but pointed to the huge experimental base in front of him.
“This base should be the remains of a glorious era. When I searched for supplies, I found not only sealed food, but also a series of scientific equipment, including a complete set of genetic adjustment and cultivation equipment.”
The man sneered.
“Do you want to breed new humans? Haha, our genes have already been transformed to the extreme. We can use genes to transfer knowledge, observe atoms with the naked eye, manipulate matter with psychic energy, have a long life span, and have infinite power… The ordinary way is not at all. May copy our form of existence.”
The man thought that his companion wanted to nurture a new human through his own cells, and he couldn’t help sneer.
But the companion shook his head.
“It is not to cultivate humans, but to create a new species. If humans are destined to die, then at least let us leave some footprints to sing our stories.”
“Aren’t the weird things in space enough to tell our story.”
The man mocked.
In space, there are countless strange creatures, but most of them are created by humans.
As the man said, even if humans are extinct, there will be no shortage of legends about humans in the entire galaxy.
“Not those, but…the descendants of humans. Brand new humans, they will inherit our civilization, our stories, and continue under the name of mankind.”
Companion groaned and said slowly.
The man looked at him, but shook his head disappointedly, then raised his head and drank the wine.
“It doesn’t make sense, humans are still extinct…They won’t be humans.”
Even if the companions say more, they all know that they should be the last two humans in the entire universe. When they die, humans will be completely extinct, and even if there are any forces bearing human names, they will all be fakes.
When Rome fell, was the Holy Roman Empire Rome? When China fell, did Japan become Chinese orthodox?
Of course not.
Perish means perish, even if it is famous, it will never be that ethnic group or that civilization anymore.
But the companion did not speak, he seemed to have his own plan.
In the next few days, the companion has been busy in another area of the base, only occasionally, the two will meet again, and every time he sees his companion, he is more exhausted than the last time. But the man didn’t pay any attention, just watched coldly and drank alone.
Just like this one day…two days…three days…four days…
Then one day, the man disappeared from the bottle, and a busy figure appeared beside the scientific equipment.
…
I don’t know it’s been a long time.
“Finally… we did it.”
The footsteps fell backwards scattered, the hoarse-voicing companion sat on the ground, his bloodshot eyes staring at the embryo in the transparent chamber.
In the erected transparent culture chamber, filled with nutrient solution, a small embryo is growing quietly in it. In the entire experimental base, there are thousands of identical training chambers.
Starting completely from scratch, writing genes bit by bit, relying on the knowledge learned from heredity and these ancient instruments, two ordinary people finally created a brand new species.
The children of mankind.
On the side, the man’s spirit is not very good. His face was haggard and tired, he just silently looked at the embryos in the cultivation room, and looked at the descendants that he had created entirely by his own hands.
After a long time, he spoke.
“They are weak, and the muscle fibers are not tight enough to twist the metal.”
He stared at the embryos’ tiny limbs. Although they hadn’t formed yet, a man who knew all the secrets of this species already knew how they grew up.
This small species is not like human beings. There are many shortcomings in their genes, carbohydrate structure, insufficiently complex muscle fibers, and their strength is destined to be very weak, I am afraid they are not enough to carry more than two or three times more important things.
Then, he stared at the embryo’s lower limbs and shook his head.
“They are very slow. Even if they just want to run this space base, it will probably take a few years.”
This abandoned space base is big or small. It can run at supersonic speeds in ten days, but it must be very difficult for these little guys with weak muscle strength.
Then, looking at their brains, the man couldn’t help but sigh.
“Their intelligence is also very average, the brain performance is very low, and it is not enough to handle too many tasks at the same time. The memory organ has a large defect, and it needs to repeat memory for many things. Learning knowledge is probably a chore for them…”
“Without psychic energy, the senses are not sharp, and the life span is short. I really can’t imagine how they will survive.”
Every time the man said, the disappointment on his face increased, and finally he couldn’t help sighing.
“But this is the limit of what we can do.”
Companion comforted his friend.
“You said… can they really be regarded as humans?”
The man said suddenly.
“They are completely different from us. Whether it’s genes or other things, it’s hard to find any commonalities between us. You say they are our heirs, the last trace of us left in the universe, but this kind of relationship , Can it really be considered an inheritance?”
There was a deep disappointment and confusion in the man’s eyes.
Perhaps, he subconsciously believed the words of his companions, but facing these species whose looks and genes were completely different from his own, it was difficult for him to think that they were the heirs of mankind.
But the companion whispered softly.
“My friend, think about it. In the long past, each generation of our children has actually been quietly modifying our genes. Each generation is actually slightly different from the previous generation. And in the era of genetic adjustment. , The genetic mutation between us is even more serious, but we still think that we are human.”
The companion stared at the embryos and said slowly.
“It is not those changeable genes that are connected to us, but a kind of culture, a kind of inheritance. If the story of mankind is really going to end, then when they continue to write the story of mankind, they have become New human beings-our children.”
Suddenly, both of them fell silent, then their expressions became serious, listening to something.
“You listen, it’s a mechanical sound.”
The man frowned.
“Are those iron guys finally catching up? It seems we can’t patiently teach these little guys anymore.”
The companion thoughtfully.
“I’m going to attract their attention.”
The man was about to come forward, but was stopped by his friend’s hand.
“You still have some physical strength. Go and let these training chambers airborne to other planets as soon as possible. I will attract them.”
“You will die like this.”
The man said anxiously.
The companion shook his head and said in a deep voice.
“It’s nothing more than sooner or later.”
For this reason, the man didn’t persuade him anymore, just watching his companion leave quickly towards the passage, he gritted his teeth and prepared for a large-scale airborne.
Thousands of training chambers suddenly had to airborne collectively, which really consumed energy and operations.
At this moment, the man suddenly felt a wave of psychic energy fluctuations.
Usually, in order to avoid being detected psionic reaction, the two communicated with each other by voice, and even this instinct was forced to forget.
At the moment, it seems that in order to attract the attention of those mechanical AIs, the companions deliberately release their own psychic talents.
“Speaking of it, do you know the story of the settlement where we originally lived? It is said that our ancestor survived a huge disaster 17,000 years ago. She slept in the dormant cabin and was rescued by accident. This is the original story of those of us, we are the survivors of the disaster that was said to give birth to the four evil gods.”
“I thought it was just a story, but then I heard the voice of the past… the old antique told me the story of the past. I couldn’t hear it fully, but two people sacrificed themselves and saved our ancestors.”
“It’s very interesting, isn’t it? 17,000 years ago, our ancestors were saved by two people; 17,000 years later, the two of us are going to save these little guys again.”
“My friend, please believe it, please believe it. If our ancestors could go from primitive animals to glory hundreds of millions of years ago, then maybe one day these little guys can also create miracles…”
“If the creation is really destined to be unable to defeat its own creator, then the creation of the creation will be fine…”
Subsequently, the psionic lost its response.
An inexplicable sadness was born, and the man knew that this was the fact that his psychic energy had realized the death of his friend.
In a daze, the man realized that he was already the last human in the entire universe.
Is he already an entire ethnic group?
“Boom…bang…”
The keen ears can already hear the bombardment of those rampant mechanical AIs destroying the base. These AIs must have realized that there is not only one person here, there must be another person.
If this is the case, I am afraid that these airborne capsules that are ready to go will also be detected and destroyed.
I can’t take much care of it anymore. I pressed my hands on the two training chambers. Even if I can’t save them all, I still have to leave at least two.
A psychic energy was surging, and it immediately attracted a large number of mechanical AIs, and the ears had clearly heard the sound of multiple metal monsters approaching.
“Quick…Quick…You are fast…”
Because of the excessive mobilization of psychic energy, I have had a headache in my mind, but more of it is anxious.
“boom!!!”
The door of special materials was blasted open, and a large number of mechanical monsters poured in.
“Human…destroyed…”
In an instant, massive beams of light melted this laboratory into a magma hell, the cultivation chambers were also shattered, the embryos that had not grown up were destroyed with it, and the men were dismembered and shattered.
But the man showed his last smile. The two training chambers in front of him had disappeared and were teleported away by psychic energy.
He succeeded.
The last human in the universe, death.
Mankind, extinct.
…
On the pristine plain of the planet closest to the base ~www.mtlnovel.com~, the vegetation is lush, strange animals are walking around, but two transparent nutrition bins stand quietly. Although some animals are curious, but the special material of the nutrition warehouse is not as good as it seems to be destroyed. After a long time, they are used to it.
As spring passes and winter comes, the embryos inside have grown and matured, resembling an adult body, and the nutrient solution is almost empty. Therefore, under the action of a certain default mechanism, the wake-up procedure is activated almost simultaneously by the two nutrition bins.
“Zi…”
The nutrition chamber opened at the sound, and the creatures inside slowly opened their eyes.
The confused creature looked at the dazzling sunlight for the first time, then tilted his head for a moment, and walked tentatively to the grass…
…
[In the beginning, my father created us…]
