Chu Nan was silent, but in his mind was why the pineal glands in the heads of these corpse-transformers on the ground seemed to dissolve. As for the knowledge of the middle-aged man, he did admire him a little. At least his cognition of genes or pineal glands was much better than himself.

"The pineal glands of these corpse-transformers will slowly dissolve and decompose themselves after a long time. I think this is a self-destructive compilation program." The middle-aged man explained when he saw Chu Nan keep looking at the corpse of the dead man on the side.

"So, why do corpses, undeads, awakened ones, or... mutants appear after the earthquake?" Chu Nan suddenly asked.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You are asking," in fact, as I said before, the pineal gland, or these sleeping genes, have been there all the time, but they are locked up by a lock, leaving them in a deep sleep. This earthquake may have changed some magnetic field of the earth, or released some powers that we cannot understand. I call it Gaia."

"Gaia?" Chu Nan was slightly stunned.

The middle-aged man said, "Yes, Gaia, this is the mother of the earth in Greek mythology. Don't you think our earth, or nature, is magical?"

"She will constantly create a stable state, and she will fight back against behaviors that destroy the steady state, such as sandstorms, tsunamis, including earthquakes, and those perfect laws of nature. Therefore, some people believe that the earth or the universe has a great will, which is the Gaia consciousness. In simple terms, Gaia consciousness means that there is a consciousness on the earth, and this consciousness is composed of all living things on the earth."

Chu Nan became interested in the middle-aged man's words and some opinions. He took out a cigarette and handed him a piece of it, and said, "Sit down and say it, by the way, I forgot to ask what your name is, my name is Chu Nan."

"His name is Chen Mo." A laugh suddenly came from the other side.

Chu Nan looked up and it was Yuan Tengfei who came over.

"Professor Chen Mo, are you talking about your views again? I am also your loyal listener." Yuan Tengfei sat down with a smile.

Chu Nan also handed him a cigarette.

Yuan Tengfei took it with him, but he did not.

Chu Nan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the middle-aged man was actually a professor, but he was indeed not an ordinary person after all.

Chen Mo smiled slightly before saying, "It's all foolish opinions, which makes you laugh."

Chu Nan said: "Professor Chen, you just mentioned the Gaia consciousness. Do you think this earthquake is dominated by the so-called Gaia consciousness? So, our pineal gland, or gene bank, has been stimulated, and the genes that are sleeping in it have awakened."

Chen Mo said: "When I mentioned Gaia's consciousness, I would like to mention the statement of Gaia gene."

"Gaia gene." Chu Nan was chanting this term as if he had some understanding.

"Genetic factors, a genetic factor, are the basic unit of inheritance. Through replication, genetic information is transmitted to the next generation, so that offspring will have similar traits to the parents. Of course, it also changes its own association characteristics through mutations, and stores all information on the process of life's birth, growth, and apoptosis. Through replication, transcription, expression, life reproduction, cell division and protein synthesis are completed."

"It can be said that all life phenomena such as birth, growth, illness, old age, and death of organisms are related to genes. It is also an internal factor that determines the health of life. Therefore, genes have dual attributes: materiality, that is, the way of existence and information are fundamental attributes."

"Since the Earth has Gaia consciousness, why can't there be Gaia gene? I think what we are experiencing now, based on science, is the mutation of the Gaia gene."

Chu Nan was shocked and then said, "This statement is interesting." He is a veterinarian and has some understanding of genes. Of course, he is clear about Chen Mo's view, which is very special.

"If all our lives are part of Gaia's life as a whole, there must be some sleeping genes in the Gaia gene that do not play any role. Now, part of these genes has awakened due to earthquakes."

Chen Mo said this, but his face gradually became solemn: "If my inference is correct, then the chain reaction caused by this awakened Gaia gene will be beyond imagination... and even very terrible."

Chu Nan looked at him.

Chen Mo explained: "For example, we all want to open the road to Jiangtian City, but if we really return to Jiangtian City, the entire Jiangtian City will be destroyed by the earthquake. Can you imagine what kind of scene it would be?"

Chu Nan shuddered.

Jiangtian City, with a permanent population of at least one million, has such an earthquake that has really occurred in such a densely populated city, with countless casualties and injuries. There will be a base camp for corpses.

Yuan Tengfei smiled and said, "Master, let alone these sensational words, we rely on a little hope to survive. No matter what, we must open the road to Jiangtian City. Then, look at it and know what is going on. We only focus on what we see in front of us and do not believe in any speculation."

Chen Mo sighed slightly and said, "No matter what, this is a sign. Perhaps, a new explosion of life has appeared."

Speaking of this, he suddenly felt unconscious, shook his head, stopped talking, stood up, walked to the other side, and helped others raise the fire.

Chu Nan looked at Chen Mo's back silently and fell into deep thought.

"Why, do you believe his point of view?" Yuan Tengfei asked with a smile.

Chu Nan was in a heavy mood. Thinking of his parents and relatives, he forced a smile and said, "Just like what you said, seeing is true, and speculation is enough, just listen to what you speculate."

Yuan Tengfei stood up with a smile, patted his shoulder, and said, "It's fine to think like this. It's no big deal. When tomorrow, we open the road to Jiangtian City and return to the city, everything will be clear." As he said that, he walked to the other side to patrol.

Chu Nan silently recalled Chen Mo's inference alone. Is what he said really just a inference? Is Jiangtian City really safe? Two days have passed since the earthquake, but there is no sign of a rescue team. This is completely unreasonable.

"What the hell is the government doing, why... it's been two days... no one to rescue appears."

Deep in Chu Nan's heart, a strong sense of obscurity had become stronger and stronger, but he didn't dare to think about it.

I wishfully thought that Jiangtian City would be fine.

"Chu Nan." Tang Sanli walked over from behind, handed him a cigarette, lit it for him, and then lit it himself and sat down next to him.

"What's wrong? You're feeling very depressed?" Chu Nan was a little surprised.

Tang Sanli smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect the matter to become so serious. Didn't you hear Yuan Tengfei say? The ground in this area is cracked. There is only one road to go to Jiangtian City. The intersection is blocked by hundreds of monsters. Now everyone is organizing personnel. Tomorrow, they will probably fight with those monsters. It's hard to say whether they can survive."

Chu Nan said: "As long as we have enough manpower, it should not be difficult to deal with ordinary corpse morphers. Moreover, if you kill a few more corpse morphers, you may be awakened."

Tang Sanli smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid I won't wake up from my life. After hearing Yuan Tengfei finished speaking, I always feel very uneasy. Don't you feel that the impact of this earthquake is getting more and more terrifying? I'm very afraid... I'm very afraid of Jiangtian City..."

Chu Nan was silent for a moment. What Tang Sanli was worried about was exactly what he was worried about, so he was more urgent to rush back to Jiangtian City to see what was going on.

"If you are really scared, you can not participate." Chu Nan said after being silent.

Tang Sanli shook his head and said, "No, I need to go back, I have to go back. You know, I have a wife and children, and they are all in the city. I want to go back and confirm their safety."

Chu Nan heard Tang Sanli say that he knew that he was a countryman before, but later started drug trafficking and soon became rich. He bought a house in the city and brought his wife and daughter from the countryside to the city. His daughter had good grades and was studying in No. 1 Middle School in Jiangtian City. Every time he talked about his daughter, Tang Sanli was a little proud.

"I... always have some bad premonitions in my heart. If...if something really happened to me, and you have the opportunity to hope you can find them, give them a sentence for me, say...I...I love them!"

When Tang Sanli said this, a rare hint of tenderness appeared on his face.

Chu Nan nodded and said, "Okay, but I believe it will be fine."

Tang Sanli said: "You must remember."

Then he reported his home address to Chu Nan and said, "Tell my wife that I secretly saved a sum of money in her name. I originally thought that I would be arrested one day, and maybe I would be shot. She would not be old and lonely. This money would be enough for her to spend the rest of her life."

Tang Sanli said a lot, and Chu Nan looked at him and was a little stunned.

Although his drug trafficking is a serious sin, his love for his wife and daughter is sincere.

He has an evil side, and in the evil, there is a good side.

Human nature is complex.

Chu Nan couldn't help but think of Li Feng and sighed.

In the afternoon, due to the thick blue smoke, newcomers came one after another, including men and women, old and young, and even someone brought a child who seemed to be only eight or nine years old. The team was getting bigger.

Yuan Tengfei told the newcomers one by one, and then settled everyone down.

In the evening, the total number of people gathered here exceeded forty.

When night fell, everyone raised a fire in the middle of the scene, and more than forty people gathered around. Yuan Tengfei was very excited and said, "Everyone eat a little tonight and have a good sleep. We will kill those corpse early tomorrow morning. I didn't expect that so many people could gather in just a short time. With the number of people we are now, it is basically no problem."
