Star of Civilization - v2 Chapter 96

"None of our business, she, she killed the guard!"

"She's a killer...she...she's a mutant...!"

The woman who was pressed to the ground grunted in her throat and said these words. She scratched and beat Ba Tianang's iron fist with all her might, but she couldn't shake it in the slightest.

"Variant?"

"You said that woman is a mutant?!" Hearing this, Ba Tianang's heart seemed to be slammed by something, and the strength in his hand loosened.

To him, the word had another meaning entirely.

Many people who have experienced wilderness travel know that the term mutant is not uncommon in today's apocalyptic age of human civilization - they refer to a type of physiologically mutated human beings.

Similar to mutant beasts, mutants have different degrees of physical mutation, so people today have divided them into roughly five levels.

The lowest class of mutants is the D-class, who are often deformed and tall, with great strength, but not very bright minds. Such people are often regarded as the product of the curse of doom, abandoned by their parents at birth.

However, the bodies of most low-level mutants decay very quickly, and their life spans are not even half that of ordinary people. The mutants who can survive to adulthood will be enslaved like livestock, and then die tragically due to frequent complications due to physical defects.

C-level mutants are not much better in terms of lifespan. They have a certain intelligence, and their physical qualities are equally astonishing, but their senses and physical abilities are different from ordinary people. It may be that their brains are not affected by physical development, or very little, so the variation is mainly reflected in the internal organs of the body.

Further up, there are more powerful B-level and terrifying A-level mutants.

They have improved strength, speed, intelligence, and senses than ordinary humans. The more advanced the mutants are, the more powerful it is, and the harder it is to perceive the difference between them and ordinary people.

The abilities of these advanced mutants are said to be quite terrifying, because they not only retain the intelligence level of human beings, but also strengthen their physical functions to varying degrees, making their actual physical qualities far superior to ordinary people.

But the most terrifying thing is those only in the legends - the S-class mutants!

Not only do they have abilities far beyond that of ordinary people, but they also derive many incredible abilities. In some respects, they can no longer even be called human beings.

Once such people are discovered by ordinary people, they will be driven out of the crowd at a very young age and lead a life of isolation, because it is difficult for them to integrate into human beings. But the number of S-rank mutants is extremely rare, and in the golden age of mutants, it is also a rare existence.

In the pre-civilization era before the cataclysm, due to the high development of related technologies such as medicine, biology, and genetic engineering, human beings' cognition of their own variation can be said to be quite thorough. People at that time learned that variation can be divided into heritable variation and non-heritable variation - variation due to environmental factors, which is not heritable; variation due to changes in genetic material can be inherited.

Genetic variation can be divided into two categories: gene mutation and gene recombination.

According to this argument, the emergence of mutant humans should belong to the category of non-heritability, because it represents a mutation caused by changes in certain environmental factors, just like the cataclysm that no one can escape from.

It stands to reason that the lifespan of human beings is always limited. After a certain generation of individual mutations, the human beings who truly adapt to these mutations should basically become extinct in the passage of time.

But this is not the case, because in the era of hundreds of years later, people can always find the existence of special mutants, and they seem to continue to reproduce.

This phenomenon cannot be fully explained even in that era of highly technologically advanced technology, let alone in today's decadent, dark, and hopelessly apocalyptic era.

In this era, human civilization has regressed for thousands of years, and almost all scientific and technological achievements have disappeared. Therefore, it is impossible for people in this era to understand such esoteric things, and it is impossible to know the truth behind them.

It is rumored that after the great cataclysm a long time ago, mutant humans first appeared on the land after the disaster. They were numerous, resisted the impact of the cataclysm, and survived tenaciously.

The people who survived the cataclysm have changed into a different look, a microcosm of an era, representing their glorious past.

Therefore, that era can be called the golden age of mutant humans.

However, mutant humans cannot escape the fate of destruction.

Today, the blood of human beings is still continuing, and the existence of mutants has become extremely rare. The human body seems to have been further adapted to this harsh environment through the strong regulation of its own genes. Low-level mutations are still occurring, but it is becoming more and more difficult to produce high-level S-level mutants, and even C-level and above mutants rarely appear.

Over time, even the heaviest horrors will fade away.

However, whenever the wilderness caravans pass through the dilapidated streets and alleys piled up with yellow sand, where most of the buildings have completely become part of the desert, and the rest are only left with damaged foundations and broken pillars, people can still find the existence of some mutants. .

For example, the desert hunter team of the Hidden Sand Gang—they occasionally encounter such terrifying mutants in barren places far away from people.

Although there are few high-level mutants, in order to cope with emergencies and improve the probability of survival, the hunter team will also recruit some low-level mutants with strange powers to join their hunting team to fight against unknown existences together.

After all, the advantages of these low-level mutants are still obvious. As long as they are willing to pay some food and water as the price, they can make these freaks obey them. This is far less damage than being attacked by savage stragglers.

When Ba Tianang and the others heard the "mutants", they glanced at each other by coincidence, and then their faces showed shock!

According to this woman, if the killer is a mutant, then he must have high intelligence and ability, at least a guy above C rank.

"Quickly tell me~www.novelbuddy.com~ What level of mutant is that woman?" Luo Renjie took a step and asked.

"Woooooo-I don't know, I don't know...she went away like a ghost...and never came back..."

The woman covered in mud has been driven crazy!

She murmured indistinctly, sobbed in pain, and kept sticking her fingers into the dirt, as if trying to dig a hole and bury herself.

"Like a ghost?"

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Ba Tianang walked towards the crowd with an angry face.

A dark-skinned, scrawny person couldn't resist at all, and he was too eager to carry him out.

"you!"

Ba Tianang waved the **** dagger in his hand and asked fiercely, "Tell me the truth, where did that woman go?"
