Chapter 66 Mutants

"Are you okay?"

Chris looked at her daughter lying on the soft bed, a little tired. The pot was bubbling and a movie was playing on the screen on the wall.

Monica had been feeling dizzy for some reason recently. The mother and daughter were very lucky to be chosen. Chris originally planned to marry someone from the family, but she gave up in the end.

She could only continue to live a hard life as always on the margins, relying on running around in small towns to make a little money. However, perhaps it was God's care. Chris still clearly remembered that a year ago, she went to the street as usual and was immediately told that she had been chosen by God.

This sudden joy made Chris unbelievable. Chris actually had a question. She really hoped that Gene could tell her why she was chosen.

It's just that it's hard to have a chance to talk to God directly. Now the town outside the base has been built halfway, and such a super-modern life is unimaginable for them.

In the town of God, there is no distinction between high and low, only positions. My daughter can get a good education, and Chris is still ready to do some statistical work, which only requires 8 hours a day.

Like most people in the town, after work every day, they will return to their own small house to enjoy private time. Chris still remembers that before the disaster, she had just entered the society and had to work more than 10 hours a day, and even eating had to be solved within 15 minutes.

The fast-paced life in the modern city made Chris completely breathless. Her daughter often pulled her and hoped that Chris would tell her about the past, but Chris didn't know where to start, or she was not willing to recall it.

People will only grow up after experiencing real hardships, and Chris is the same. The past days are unbearable to look back.

And the scenes of fleeing all the way are all Chris is unwilling to recall.

In the past, because of the great work pressure every day and the interpersonal relationship problems in the company, Chris was exhausted physically and mentally. At that time, she was infected with a lot of bad things, and the whole person was almost finished.

It was her husband who pulled Chris back from the abyss. She still remembers the feeling of regaining light, but it was only short-lived. When Chris thought her life would be on the right track, the end of the world came.

Chris and her husband were like most people who fled along the way. They had no destination. The only idea was to find a place with water and land to live and avoid big cities.

Because if you want to survive in a big city, you must become more barbaric and cruel than others.

The couple came all the way and experienced countless hardships. Finally, they were bathed in light again on this grassland. Although they experienced several hardships again, everything was fine.

Chris looked at the steam in the pot and missed her husband again. Her husband had protected her all the way and gave her all the best. However, her husband had already become ill due to overwork and died in the first year after the child was born.

Chris had thoughts of suicide countless times, but she held back in the end. Because of her daughter Monica, she was able to hold on until now.

"Monica, mom is talking to you."

Monica lay on the bed and opened her eyes tiredly.

"Mom, I'm a little tired."

Chris put down the kitchen utensils in her hand, walked over, and found that Monica had a fever.

"Let's go to the base."

Chris hurriedly turned off the power and went out with her daughter in her arms. There were identical two-story metal huts all around, with bedrooms and activity rooms on the top and kitchens and living rooms on the bottom. It was less than 40 square meters, but it was very good for everyone who lived in it.

All the facilities in the hut were complete, and many facilities were fully automated.

Chris greeted people along the way. Now nearly one-third of the people still live in the base, and construction is still going on outside every day. Large machines are outside this metal town.

Soon Chris came to the gate of the base, and the back door opened after the identity scan, and Chris hurried in.

The daughter in her arms was very hot and had fallen into a coma.

Soon Chris brought her daughter to the clinic. There was no one inside, but Tang Rao came over soon.

"Put her down and let me see."

"Master Tang Rao, she has been in a bad mood these days and falls asleep every day after school."

Tang Rao checked Monica's condition and immediately took measures to reduce her fever. She asked Chris to put some ice packs on Monica's armpits and feet and took off Monica's clothes.

Half an hour later, the temperature dropped. Tang Rao was checking Monica's blood. She felt something was wrong.

"Wait here and watch her. I have to wake up Ellie."

Tang Rao was a little unsure because some of Monica's blood values ​​were very high, especially the hypersensitive protein, which was 10 times higher than the normal range. Obviously, this girl might die directly, but she just had a fever.

The blood test did not show any virus or bacteria invasion, so Tang Rao suspected that the girl's genes were mutating.

Tang Rao knocked on the door of the room. Ellie opened the door after a long time. She looked panicked. Tang Rao looked at Gene lying on the bed and smoking.

"You said you wanted to come back and rest, but it turned out that..."

"Let's go."

After Ellie came out, the two called Witt, and soon the three of them came to the infirmary.

Monica's body temperature was as high as 40 degrees and the temperature did not come down. Soon Monica started infusion and drank some antipyretics. Looking at Chris's worried look, Ellie comforted her.

"It's okay, it's just a minor illness. Just go outside and wait."

Chrissy nodded, and after she came, Werther's expression turned slightly serious.

"Let's test her genes directly. If you move quickly, we should be able to observe the process of her genetic mutation."

After hesitating for a moment, Ellie began to prepare. A genetic tester made of mimicry was taken out, and soon the three of them began to check Monica's genes.

"Sure enough..."

Ellie stared blankly at Monica's genetic structure. The genes in her body were mutating. No one knew whether the mutation was good or bad. If she were an adult, there might not be any problems at all. question, but Monica is only a child and her body is not fully developed yet.

This is what Ellie is most worried about, because the genes are not fully developed and it is unknown what will happen to her body if a genetic mutation occurs.

"This is something we have considered from the beginning. If something bad happens, we can only stop here, if this girl dies unfortunately. She is the first mutant who has made a contribution to the people on this land. ”

As Tang Rao said, Ellie's eyes widened in shock. At this moment, she felt how foolish their previous decisions were. When problems really arise, they cannot control them, even if they have been called "god".

"Her heart rate and breathing are starting to slow down, and we have to figure something out."

Werther said, and the three of them hurriedly started to rob. However, Monica's vital signs continued to disappear, and the sudden and unexplained deterioration caught the three of them off guard.

In the long history of mankind, such scenes have been staged countless times. Facing the unknown, human beings can only watch life disappear and are helpless.

Ellie was pressing Monica's chest and performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Monica's heartbeat was disappearing and her breathing was beginning to fail.

"Hold on, hold on."

Ellie shouted almost crying. Werther was still preparing the medicine, and Tang Rao was still checking the current status of various indicators in Monica's body. Then Werther took a small syringe and injected it into Monica.

"It's up to her whether she survives."

Time passed by, and Monica's vital signs were still there, but her breathing and heartbeat were very slow, not like a human being at all. What Werther had just injected into Monica was an inhibitor, which is the only one they have found so far. The only way to make the cells of the eight of them inactive and no longer add value.

But this situation is not very optimistic. The time for the inhibitor to fail is one hour, and the time their cells can survive is incalculable.

"We have to find a way in this hour."

The three people continued to work. Many people were outside the infirmary and saw three gods rescuing a little girl. Many people didn't know what was wrong, but it seemed that the little girl was very serious.

Chris covered her mouth. She didn't cry out. The only thing she could do now was to pray, because her daughter was being rescued by doctors with the best medical conditions and superb medical skills. If she still couldn't survive, she could only be blamed. His life is bad.

At this time, Gene and the other four people also came over. They all realized that the treatment was not simple. If it was just an ordinary disease, any one of the three of them could handle it directly. There would be no problem with the operation, but The situation looks complicated now.

Li Chu immediately thought of genetic alienation, and then Gene decisively drew the curtain and asked everyone to disperse. Gene held Chrissy's waist and comforted her.

"Don't worry, the medical technology of the three of them is very good. Even in the world, it is top-notch. I can guarantee this."

Chris couldn't hold it back anymore and cried. Gene continued to comfort her, and the other four people entered the medical room.

"Is it really an alienated gene?"

Although Li Chu only had some understanding of medicine, he knew what the values ​​​​on the icon represented. The girl named Monica's gene had mutated, and cancer cells had appeared in her body.

This situation is unbelievable, and this girl will most likely die directly.

"Is there anything I can do?"

Rose said, Ellie seemed to think of something, and she said immediately.

"Increase the density of oxygen entering this child's body."

Immediately, Rose followed Ellie's request and directly used her power to control the oxygen in the air and slowly input it into Monica's body.

Time passed by, and the medical room was silent. Li Chu and the others did not leave, because they were the ones who made the move, and the consequences of this move were now in front of their eyes. No matter good or bad, they could only watch. .

"There's no time left."

Witte said, holding another inhibitor. This inhibitor will not only inhibit their cells, but also greatly hinder human cell production. This is a double-edged sword. The one at the beginning is a gamble. And this one could very well kill the girl.

But if you still can't find any way at the last moment, you can only continue to gamble once and extend the time.

"I found it. There are mutations in these genes. If these genes in humans change, they will indeed cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in humans."

Ellie shouted immediately, and Witt and Tang Rao came over. The three of them began to discuss enthusiastically. Soon, Ellie determined the method, and Witt began to prepare the medicine. After the medicine was prepared, it was directly fed to Monica.

Ellie looked at Monica's vital signs with a serious expression. Gradually, her breathing and heartbeat began to recover, indicating that the medicine had taken effect.

Tang Rao also breathed a sigh of relief, took out a cigarette and turned to walk out. Seeing Gene who was still comforting the woman, she smiled and nodded at Gene.

"It's okay."

As soon as Gene finished speaking, Chris burst into tears of joy. Soon she entered the medical room and saw that her daughter had woken up and could still speak, but her mental state was not good.

"What disease did Monica have, my lords?"

Tang Rao said just as Ellie was about to speak.

"It's a genetic mutation. We suspect that this may be related to the current blackening of the planet and some abnormal substances released from asteroids in the air. These substances are rewriting your daughter's genes. It's like we have mutated after being hit."

Chris was a little surprised.

"Don't worry, this is a good thing. Although she won't become like us, she may become a mutant, so she has to stay here for a few days. We will further treat and observe her."

"Thank you, thank you!"

Chris didn't say anything else. Then the eight people left the medical room, leaving the mother and daughter alone.

Looking at the many suspicious people outside, Tang Rao announced what she had just said again, and told everyone that if they had unexplained fatigue and fever, they should not force themselves, but must come to the medical room as soon as possible.

Gene leaned against the wall next to the medical room, and Ellie looked at the ground with some distress.

"Didn't she survive?"

"It's just temporary."

Ellie pressed her forehead painfully.

"I don't know what the genes in her body will become."

Gene hugged Ellie comfortingly.

"No matter what it becomes, we have no choice now, and once Pandora's box is opened, it can't be closed."

Ellie covered her face sadly, and Gene gently held her in his arms.

"It's okay. No matter what difficulties we face, we, as well as human beings, must rely on ourselves."
