Hardcore crisis

In the endless Gobi desert of Nevada, a highly-security military base welcomed more than a dozen XF-112 aircraft, which circled and gradually landed in the designated zone.

When Lu Yuan stepped off the aircraft, the first thing he looked at was the black suit in the center of the row of NS-5 robots.

He is not tall, only about 1.7 meters, and is a slightly thin Asian. He is about forty-five years old. He has thick dark circles under his eyes, as if he has not slept well for a long time.

"Are you Peter?"

Somehow, Lu Yuan was lucky enough to speak first.

"Mr. E, welcome, yes, I am Peter."

He admitted it simply, and the leader of the twelve apostles named Peter stepped forward to welcome Lu Yuan's arrival.

Lu Yuan glanced around casually and found no human beings except Peter.

Also, out of caution for him, the soldiers and officers here may have evacuated early.

ten minutes later.

"That is?"

Deep underground in this military base, Lu Yuan unexpectedly saw an old man lying motionless in a crystal coffin in the sterile room, his eyes closed.

Lu Yuan was a little unsure from the wrinkled skin, pale hair, and slightly familiar facial features.

"Yes, that is Mr. Albert." Peter nodded.

There was no breathing, no heartbeat, not even the sound of blood flowing.

It was indeed a "wax figure" that had been dead for an unknown period of time, and even the blood in the body had been drained out.

"Dead?"

Lu Yuan stood motionless.

"Mr. E, if you believe in my sincerity, I will give up my position immediately... If you are still not satisfied with this, please feel free to put forward your request, and we will do our best to meet your proposal."

Peter said very sincerely.

Lu Yuan withdrew his gaze from the crystal coffin and turned to look at Peter: "I saw a very interesting point before. You who are called 'apostles' think that you are the truly evolved new human beings. It is said that the new human beings Will the descendants born from the new humans also have the ability to be 'apostles'?"

Peter was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Lu Yuan to ask this question.

However, he pondered for a moment and admitted: "Yes, judging from the data we have obtained so far, there is a 100% chance that the offspring born from the union between apostles will also possess supernatural powers."

"It's really a bad result."

Lu Yuan's eyes flickered: "What about between apostles and humans?"

Peter was silent.

From Peter's expression, Lu Yuan already knew the result.

"Reproductive isolation? Sure enough."

The apostles who were transformed by the Holy Arrow had huge mutations in their DNA, and the genetic gap with humans was much greater than that between humans and chimpanzees. As a result, reproductive isolation was created between the two. No offspring can be born. No wonder Lu Yuan saw in the news that whether they were apostles or wild apostles, there were many groups claiming to be new humans.

In a sense, this is indeed a new human being, and there is a species gap between the new arrival and the original human beings.

However, the situation becomes very complicated.

Each of the apostles possesses supernatural powers. Facing ordinary humans, there is an absolute gap in strength, and perhaps a crushing effect on intelligence. What is even more frightening is that there is reproductive isolation among each other, and the descendants of the apostles are still Apostle, what will be the consequences of such an outbreak?

From the historical process of these twenty-five years, Lu Yuan saw the suspicion, hatred, and fighting between humans and apostles.

Even if the world government recognizes the legitimacy of registered apostles, up to now, there are still more than 100,000 wild apostles lurking in the human world, and there are even terrorist organizations headed by the "Three Kings" organization, which not only target legally registered apostles. , and also targeted the old humans, publicly declaring that the old humans were an inferior species and that only the new humans were the true masters of the earth.

The existence of supernatural forces has posed extremely serious problems to the society and management of old humanity. Human laws and violent institutions are basically powerless against the apostles, but the apostles can rely on their own strength to ignore laws and violent institutions.

Let me ask you, when a person's power is so strong that it is difficult for a country to be hostile, what will he do?

Maybe a small number of people can still control themselves, but it is undeniable that most of the apostles cannot endure it, not to mention that the government vigorously targeted the apostles in the early days.

Human desires are endless, and social order relies on the maintenance of violent institutions, rather than on human moral standards.

A small country will have endless ambitions after possessing nuclear weapons. When a group also possesses capabilities that are no less than nuclear weapons, it will naturally demand higher interests even if it is not suspected or targeted.

"So, you established the organization of the Twelve Apostles to restrain the apostles?"

Lu Yuan said calmly.

Peter finally stopped being silent, "After the failure of the Holy Arrow experiment, we never expected that something like this would happen. Mr. Albert foresaw it immediately. The apostles would definitely have irreconcilable conflicts with mankind, so he ordered We build an organization that can restrain the apostles in the future and prevent an outright war from breaking out between the apostles and humans."

"This is not the final solution."

Lu Yuan sighed: "When the number of apostles... new humans increases, conflicts cannot be restrained by your organization alone. Even now, I have seen on the public news network that many apostles believe that they are species-related. Superior to the old humans, deserving of higher power.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Peter took a few steps back suddenly and looked at Lu Yuan fearfully.

"rest assured……"

Lu Yuan said calmly: "Killing all the apostles is indeed a way. Compared with the more than eight billion old humans, there are only a hundred thousand apostles. It seems that it is right to give up the apostles."

The fact that the new humans are superior to the old humans in strength and intelligence is not impossible to solve, but the reproductive isolation between the two is one of the important reasons for the growing alienation between the two.

Because this essentially shows that the new humanity and the old humanity are two different races.

"but……"

Lu Yuan said quietly: "I have once seen an alliance of extraterrestrial civilizations. Their civilization and technology far exceed that of humans, and the power they can control individually is definitely no less than that of the apostles. They also have hundreds of reproductively isolated races. But they still get along harmoniously.”

"History cannot be violated."

Peter disagreed: "A new ruling class is bound to be born, and this is not something you or I can stop."

Lu Yuan glanced at Peter. It was hard for people to believe that an apostle's position was placed among the old humans.

But to Lu Yuan, it doesn't matter whether he is an apostle or an old human being. Those who have the tradition of human civilization are human beings, and they do not necessarily have to be distinguished physiologically.
