After listening to the fat man's story, Qin Ze's expression was quite complicated.
The monsters ultimately failed to destroy humanity; instead, humanity brought about its own demise.
"With the first Alienation Queen breaking free from the Black Mountain Research Institute's Cage, the situation spiraled completely out of control."
"Those Mutated Ones responded to her call and hailed her as their queen."
" The Abyss has closed, but humanity faces an even greater threat from the Mutated Ones."
"The number of people who have been injected with Reverse Alpha Reagent is well over one hundred million."
"Because martial arts have been lost, there is no one left who can stand up to fight the Mutated Ones."
"In 2048, the Shelter Project, spearheaded by Professor Lin Siyao, and another Sky Island Project, were proposed."
Professor Lin Siyao advocates building large-scale shelters for survivors to take refuge.
" The Mutated Ones have no reason or thought; they starve to death themselves after a few decades."
" Sky Island Project uses the Sky Island space station as a base for survivors, and sends humanoid combat weapons to the ground to actively attack and annihilate the Mutated Ones."
"Neither side could convince the other in the end, and they each went their own way."
" The Sky Island and the ten Sequence vaults were built in the same year, but the Shelter Project lasted less than a year. Nine vaults fell one after another, and Shelter No. 10 has been out of contact ever since."
As he finished speaking, the fat man's gaze fell on the administrator terminal on Qin Ze's wrist.
Qin Ze changed the subject. "BT is very strong; I've seen it with my own eyes."
"Sending robots into battle would not result in any casualties, so why does Professor Lin disagree with this plan?"
This was something that Qin Ze found utterly perplexing.
A huge horde of BTs rushed towards the Mutated Ones' stronghold, and even the queen had to kneel down and sing "Conquer."
The fat man shook his head. "In a sense, the first batch of BT Series humanoid combat weapons are not robots in the true sense; it would be more appropriate to call them cyborgs."
Qin Ze inwardly cursed.
What is the suffering of Flesh and Blood, and the ascension of machinery?
The fat man explained, "The concept of humanoid combat weapons was proposed in the year the Mutated Ones appeared."
"Because AI wasn't advanced enough at the time, its information processing and on-the-spot reaction capabilities were no match for the human brain, so this was a last resort."
"After a series of experiments, it was discovered that female warriors' physical condition was the most suitable for modification."
"The first batch of humanoid combat weapons selected twenty-one female warriors, who of course volunteered."
"After all, in that precarious environment, everyone wanted to become stronger as quickly as possible."
"I was one of the leaders of the first batch of Humanoid Combat Weapon Project. Since they were flesh and blood and could bear innate abilities, I copied my Teleportation ability to them through special means."
Qin Ze was completely impressed with the fat man.
Even innate talents and abilities can be copied.
Wow, I'm so fat!
The fat man seemed to understand Qin Ze's meaning and laughed, "The ability replication project isn't my responsibility; it's Professor Chen's."
"He died in an attack by Mutated Ones and missed the spaceship to the Sky Island. Otherwise, you could ask him."
After a pause, the fat man continued, "A few years later, the second batch of fully mechanized humanoid combat weapons began mass production."
"However, since they are entirely made of machinery, they cannot withstand heavy loads, which significantly reduces their combat effectiveness, but they are still sufficient for fighting against superhumans."
" The Reverse Alpha Reagent is essentially a form of human modification, and Professor Lin has a significant aversion to it. She strongly opposes the Humanoid Combat Weapon Project, fearing it will repeat the suffering of the Mutated Ones."
"Professor Lin has always felt that she was responsible for the Mutated Ones disaster, and that she shouldn't have started developing the Alpha Reagent in the first place."
"But without the Reverse Alpha Reagent, how can humanity defeat the alien beasts?"
Qin Ze also saw this sentence in Lin Siyao's diary.
This seems to be a dead end.
Without the reagents, humans will perish at the hands of the alien beasts.
With the reagents in hand, they now face the disaster of the Mutated Ones.
But isn't the calamity of the Mutated Ones also caused by humanity itself?
If the martial arts tradition continues, there will be no large-scale outbreak of Mutated Ones.
It can only be said that humanity brought this upon itself.
Where are Myriad Races?
" The Maka Race claims to be a strategic partner of Human Race, so why didn't they offer any assistance?"
This is also what's strange about Qin Ze.
Whether it's Lin Siyao's diary or the fat man's story just now.
There wasn't a single mention of any foreign race.
The fat man asked, full of doubt, "What breed of pig is a maca pig?"
Qin Ze twitched the corner of his mouth.
Okay, it seems there are no alien races in this world.
So what is this?
It has evolved, but not completely?
"Does the Sky Island Resistance Army only operate on the Sky Island and have no ground troops?"
Qin Ze asked curiously.
The fat man frowned slightly. "What do you mean?"
Qin Ze scratched his head. "When I left the shelter, I encountered two soldiers who claimed to be from the Resistance Army and offered to take me to some headquarters."
Upon hearing this, the fat man's breathing became rapid.
She Teleportation forward and grabbed Qin Ze's hand tightly.
Where is their headquarters?
Qin Ze forcefully pulled his hand away. "How should I know?"
My older sister told me that boys need to take good care of themselves when they're out alone.
"How can I just go with two strangers?"
So they're your people too?
The fat man shook his head, filled with deep disgust, and gritted his teeth, saying:
"They are not Resistance Army at all!"
"They are traitors!"
"A bunch of shameful traitors!"
" The Sky Island is not the Resistance Army Headquarters at all!"
" Lin Zhiyuan is a shameful traitor!"
"He betrayed humanity!"
In a spacious office.
A square-faced man in military uniform is roaring angrily.
After confirming the identities of Qin Ze and the other two humans, they were led behind the second alloy gate.
The station was much larger than Qin Ze had imagined.
It is estimated that at least 50,000 people lived there.
The station is divided into several areas.
Markets, residential areas, planting areas, military camps...
Crowded, but orderly.
Qin Ze couldn't help but sigh, "The person managing this place is truly a talent."
The administrator terminal in Qin Ze's hand proved his identity as the administrator of Shelter No. 10.
The three men were led to this office by the man with the square face.
Through conversation, it was learned that the man's name was Nangong Xingye, Level Seven Martial Artist and the commander-in-chief of the Resistance Army.
Qin Ze also asked him about the origins of the Mutated Ones.
Nangong Xingye's previous answers were largely the same as Fatty's, but when he mentioned the Sky Island Resistance Army, he suddenly became agitated and loudly denounced Fatty as a traitor.
So, who exactly is the traitor?
After giving him a good scolding, Nangong Xingye finally calmed down.
"I'm sorry, I misbehaved just now."
Qin Ze shrugged, indicating that he didn't care.
Could you elaborate?
What exactly happened on Sky Island?
Qin Ze found it hard to believe that the fat man with thick eyebrows and big eyes would betray him.
Nangong Xingye sat down again and said in a deep voice, " Lin Zhiyuan is the Alienation Queen's lackey; they have long been secretly colluding together!"
