Chapter 238: Resolving doubts

Blood slowly drifts in the dull air. The minced flesh and bones spread throughout the basement look disgusting, flowing out from the broken intestines and broken internal organs. Various body fluids of different colors mix with each other, emitting a pungent smell of feces and urine. Tough tissue debris are peeled off from the body. They lose their physiological functions and will soon rot and turn into dirty mucus with yellow and green colors. If it is in the hot summer, dense mosquitoes and flies will gather here. Although they are just tiny flying insects, they are far stronger and more crazy than humans driven by the physiological instinct to solve hunger and find food.

Rand Walker looked indifferently at the corner opposite the room. His cheeks were sickly pale and his lips were not much red. Looking carefully, you could notice that his closed lips were actually trembling slightly, but the amplitude was very small and difficult to distinguish.

"You... aren't really Skeleton Knight?"

After nearly ten minutes, he finally spoke slowly and broke the silence.

Lin Xiang sucked cigarettes hard, and the shiny fireworks made his face flicker and dark. He sprayed a long sip of smoke and said, "The Skeleton Knight cannot stay here, nor can he build a city in the wilderness with tens of thousands of civilians. Although I have no contact with Rockefeller and are unfamiliar with his family members, they will never tolerate their subordinates doing such actions that are no different from rebellion and independence. In fact... I hate these dog bastards who destroy the world more than you-"

Rand Walker raised his head and leaned his body against the wall, his expression obviously relaxed a lot, at least his muscles were no longer tense as before. He looked at the pool of black blood in front of him and said slowly: "I always thought that you were an inhuman bastard like those guys wearing skeleton logos. Now... I don't like parasites, but you are not my enemy."

Lin Xiang smiled and asked disrespectfully: "How did you live from that time to now? You have not been infected by the virus, maintained a normal body state, and lived for more than a hundred years... This is simply incredible."

If you guessed correctly, Land Walker should have used the method of alternating body organs like Liu Yuchen to keep the body's functions vigorous and energetic. But he did not say it directly, but left the opportunity to explain the problem to Land Walker. Apart from the Joint Doctors Association, there are not many people in the Wasteland World who know this secret, especially respected doctors. They should enjoy this opportunity to show off in front of others, especially to surprise opponents stronger than themselves, and their faces are full of incredible expressions.

"The internal organ replacement technology has actually matured as early as the 1990s."

As expected, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Rand Walker's lips: "At that time, it was no longer limited to simple heart transplants, kidneys, lungs, liver, and even a complete set of endocrine system replacement transplant surgery, and the success rate was as high as 98%. By exchanged for internal organs to obtain new vitality, it also promoted the muscle tissue to produce more vigorous metabolism, which has long been recognized by the top leaders of the medical community. Simply put, as long as a healthy replaceable body is found at the appropriate time, life can be continued. Not to mention a century, as long as the cell tissue remains vibrant, even if it is a thousand years or ten thousand years, life will continue forever."

“The 1990s?”

Lin Xiang was surprised at this time, and he asked in confusion: "Since that's the case, why didn't the media report? There was no evidence to show that this was true? In my memory, even a heart replacement surgery would be called a major breakthrough in medical technology."

"Hahahaha! Instead of believing in reporters, it's better to believe in a pig-"

Rand Walker grabbed the flat wine pot, tilted his neck and poured a big mouthful into his mouth, spitting out a strong smell of alcohol, and said drunk: "The Doctors Association has a secret that outsiders don't know. Boy, do you still remember the earliest cloned creature in the world, the sheep "Dolly", which was sought after by countless media as a biological milestone? It was just a guise of the United Association to cover up the old things. They had mastered the technology of using genetic characteristics to replicate life more than fifty years ago. Dory sheep was just a joke to throw it to the outside world as a surprise. In the laboratory of the Doctors Association, hundreds of trainees have been created. The only purpose of these guys coming out of the training cabin is to provide enough fresh and healthy accessories to doctors who have aged their bodies and need internal organ replacement surgery."

"Why don't you... announce these technologies to the public?" Su was a little surprised. He heard it was completely different from his former memory. It was hard for him to believe that this was true.

"Many times, human consciousness cannot keep up with the pace of technological development. Primitive people could not understand surgical operations, and the medieval chapels could not accept the theory of the universe. Similarly, even in the last century, it was difficult for humans to understand the true meaning of cloning technology."

Rand Walker obviously saw through his deep thoughts and said, "In this world, there are always some self-righteous guys who use the cards of "morality" and "humanity" to make a lot of money. In their eyes, it is abnormal, violent, and cruel to copy humans for organ transplantation. They do not care about the strong desire of patients to urgently need organs to continue their lives. They will only shout slogans such as protecting animals and lives all day long according to their own opinions. These statements are ridiculous. Even stray cats and dogs are brought to the screen by them, and are labeled as "poor" words to allow people with love to raise funds and feed them. Haha! While saying these words, they may have long forgotten that there are still hundreds of millions of people in the world.

The species is still lingering on the hunger line. Feeding dogs with expensive ham and letting people who are about to starve to chew grass roots and eat tree bark. This is the so-called fucking love. Can you expect these people to actively donate organs to dying patients? In their eyes, other people's lives are a piece of shit. Publicizing the existence of transplant technology and clones will only give them the opportunity to jump up and down, control media publicity, and put the entire human world into panic. Just like Bruno's "Hisoccentric" back then, it also caused unprecedented chaos to the entire civilized world under the negative fabrication of the church. In order to calm people's anger, they also had the excuse to tie scientists to the stake and burn them alive. This was the case before, and now it is no exception."

Lin Xiang did not continue to ask, his face became more and more gloomy. Rand Walker's words made him re-look at the destruction old era from another perspective. To be precise, it should be contacting another completely different world.

"When did you get infected?" Rand Walker asked casually, shaking the wine pot in his hand.

"A few months before the war broke out. At that time, I was just an ordinary soldier."

Lin Xiang's voice was very dull. It was no longer the time to enter the wasteland world, so it was meaningless to conceal it.

"That is a virus that can automatically find suitable genes in the human body for pairing. Unadapted people will be forcibly changed by them to acquire strength by accelerating cell division, but they must pay the price of life and brain control. If it is an adapter, they will comprehensively strengthen and reorganize the cell structure on the basis of retaining the original gene chain, thus evolving into parasites. However, this situation rarely happens. With the physique of the old humans, the probability of production is very small. They are infected and avoid nuclear explosions and survive until now... You are indeed very lucky."

Under the influence of alcohol, Rand Walker's face began to flush.

"What does being alive mean?"

Lin Xiang shook his head mockingly: "We can never go back to the past."

Rand Walker looked at the scattered corpse on the floor in front of him, and was silent for a while before slowly saying, "Do you know? You are very special."

Lin Xiang turned around and stared at him with inquiring eyes.

"I don't know if you've ever been to the west, where there is another huge force. The Red Republican Army, you should have heard their names."

Rand Walker carried the wine pot and lightly tapped the hard ground, making a rhythmic collision sound, saying, "According to the old days, those guys seemed to be your fellow men. They were very powerful and could even fight against the Skeleton Knights. I had been in several cities under their jurisdiction for a while. How to say... I don't like those guys, although they also hated Rockefeller, were enemies of Skeleton Knights, and were also victims of viruses and nuclear explosions. But... what they did was offensive to me. If the ultimate ruler of this world had to arise between the Red Republic and the Skeleton Knights, then... I would rather choose the latter."

For some reason, a chill suddenly passed through Lin Xiang's heart for no reason.

He remembered many familiar faces.

Qi Yue, Fang Yujie, Meng Zongxiang, Lu Yulin...

When they left the military district, they had left a whole bag of blood, and they should still be alive.

In a hundred years, too many things can happen, which is enough to make some unexpected changes happen in the world that should have been running on a fixed trajectory.

Rand Walker is not like a lie, and he doesn't need to add fuel to this kind of thing. Although he is still unclear about his true identity, he hates Rockefeller extremely much and is also one of the victims of the old era. Moreover, he also has the special technology to resurrect the corpse and become biological weapons. Whether it is the Red Republican Army or the Skeleton Knights, he will spend a lot of effort to win over it. As long as he wants, he can live a better life, rather than staying in the civilian area of ​​Yinyue City, like now, receiving a serving of small quantities every day, just enough to eat himself, and there is no delicious rough food.

When Claude was dying, he once warned himself: "Don't contact the Red Republic."

Aphra also said: "The Red Republic is completely different from what you imagined."

Now... even Land Walker has maintained negative comments on this force that was obviously a continuation of China in the old era. What happened to those who were once familiar with me and those who once shared weal and woe?

"I know you're confused and want to see what's going on there in person. But I want to give up on a word - you'd better give up this idea. What do you say about those people... They're completely different from what you think."

"They have mutated?" Lin Xiang asked instinctively.

"They are all normal humans, and I can only tell you so much. There are some things you have to see before you can make a judgment." Rand Walker swirled the metal lid on the wine pot and handed it over.

"There is something that I'm very strange." Since the other party was unwilling to continue talking, Lin Xiang had to change the topic.

"You mean...the ability I have?" Rand Walker glanced at him.

Lin Xiang nodded in agreement, and casually turned off the cigarette butt that was about to burn out on the ground, and asked seriously: "Are you... a parasitic?"

"I said, don't associate that dirty word with me-" Rand Walker raised his tone with an unhappy expression.

"But, how could you..."

"Strength is not unique to parasites. No matter viruses or other reasons, their only result is to allow humans to evolve from their own different directions."

Rand Walker said calmly: "Compared with ordinary humans, parasites whose cell tissues are changed by viruses are harder, their muscles are stronger, and their nerve response speed is more sensitive. In other words, as long as these conditions can be met, ordinary people can become like parasites, or even surpass parasites."

"The evolution of the living things on Earth is nothing more than two types. First, to adapt to the environment, make forced changes. Second, under the premise of stability, choose self-change through the subjective consciousness of the brain."

Land Walker did not give Lin Xiang a chance to ask questions, and continued: "Take the early ancient marine creatures as an example, they chose different ways of change in the face of these two ways of conducting. The former adapted to the environment and evolved into the current fish, shrimp, shell and crab, while the latter took the initiative to seek ways to go to land and eventually became higher-level intelligent creatures. The old man was no exception. Machinery and various intelligent products made the opportunity for physical activity less and less. Tens of thousands of years later, the guys who were used to driving vehicles were lazy to move their limbs may evolve into a bunch of brain-like objects that simply had the ability to think. Those who liked to be healthy

The body, muscles and body are always showing off, will become a half-beast form with atrophy, strong limbs and strong figures. Of course, this is a guess and conceivable based on known data. No one can predict the future. I can only use existing technology and drug stimulation methods to transform the body without harming internal organs and secretion systems. As a result, you can also see that I have speed and combat power no less than you. Perhaps the virus changes to cell tissues more effectively than my method, but no matter what, I don’t want to become a parasitic. I am still me.”

Rand Walker's words are not difficult to understand. In the old days, humans used exercise and fitness to reduce fat and increase muscle, and to gain stronger strength in the body. However, compared with parasites, such strengthening effect was not obvious and it was difficult to achieve transcendent goals. However, it is undeniable that in the old days, this was indeed an effective method of strengthening.

"Will you stay in Yinyue City all the time?" Lin Xiang did not continue to entangle this question.

“I will stay here before there is no better choice.”

Rand Walker bent his legs, supported his hands, stood up shakingly, and his somewhat tired face releasing a formulaic smile: "I don't like the Skeleton Knights, nor do I want to contact the Red Republican Army. The environment and atmosphere of this city are very much to my liking. If you feel guilty about breaking into my home tonight and causing damage to personal belongings, and want to make a certain statement, it is best to add more butter and cheese to me in the daily rationed food."

Lin Xiang nodded, pointed to the broken body lying horizontally on the ground, and said, "I will not interfere with your freedom. However, I don't want to see such abnormal things in the city."

Rand Walker was still smiling: "No problem. As you wish."

...

The cold night wind roared through the middle of the street.

Walking on the hard stone pavement and feeling the cold touch from the soles of the shoes, Lin Xiang looked up at the dark sky and exhaled a long sigh.

The conversation did not completely relieve the pressure deep in his heart. Although Rand Walker gave some answers that he urgently needed to know, he also gave more mysteries.

There are so many secrets on him.

Fortunately, he is not his enemy at least.

Lin Xiang noticed what he said in the last sentence. It mentioned the Red Republican Army and the Skeleton Knights, but it did not involve the doctors' association.

This is obviously unreasonable and not normal.

Because, he was originally a doctor.

...

About thirty kilometers northeast of Yinyue City, a convoy of armored trucks and black cars was parked on the old highway covered with cracks.

The specially modified sedan has a very spacious space. Klester is half lying and half leaning against the soft leather sofa in the back seat, casually glances at a remote visual communicator in his hand. The area is only two inches square, and the screen that emits light blue light is showing a face of a middle-aged man in his forties, weathered but slightly frightened, but slightly frightened.
