System Rebirth: The Strongest Mecha Master in the Interstellar
Chapter 204 The Truth Revealed by Kes
Lu Lulu stared at Kes.
Kes was silent for a long time and didn't speak.
Lu Lulu retracted her gaze and said, "If you don't want to tell me, then wait for the Star Alliance to come and take you for a blood test."
What Lu Lulu said about blood tests was a euphemism. In fact, the real meaning was that they were treated like mutant animals and used as experimental subjects without any human rights.
Kes' eyes moved slightly.
He looked at Lu Lulu: "If I tell you, you won't believe it."
Lu Lulu hummed: "Tell me about it. I think I have a good ability to accept it."
Kes suddenly smiled, and his smile was meaningful.
He sat on the floor of the isolation cabin, leaning against the wall: "Last year, I had an outbreak of a genetic disease."
Lu Lulu was silent.
In the interstellar age, cancer can be cured, but genetic diseases... are almost impossible to improve or cure.
For many patients with genetic diseases, disease outbreaks are extremely painful and tragic.
The most frightening thing is that even after the fetus is born, the current medical level cannot detect whether the fetus has a genetic disease. And when will the genetic disease break out?
"Right after I graduated from military school, I was actively recruited by the Tangke Mineral Company and became a researcher that everyone envied."
"I have a wife, a happy life, and little lack of star coins."
"Until my genetic disease broke out."
Kes' eyes were deep: "I was in a lot of pain... My wife encouraged me not to give up, and we sought medical help everywhere, but I couldn't hold on any longer."
“It’s so painful…”
"Living is an extreme torture for me."
When Kes talked about the painful things in the past, his voice was calm and his tone was flat, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
"When I was most desperate, I received a letter."
"The letter said that there is a medicine in this world that can cure all diseases and even make people immortal."
Lu Lulu frowned: "Angel."
Kes nodded: "Yes, the name of the potion is Angel."
Seeing Lu Lulu frowning, he seemed to be a little interested. He suddenly leaned over and asked jokingly, "Since you know about angels, do you know how to get angels?"
After the cruise ship incident, Lu Lulu probably knew, but she still shook her head: "I don't know."
Kes chuckled, "I don't think you know either."
"If you knew..."
Kes didn't continue the conversation.
He just adjusted his posture and continued, "I didn't believe it at the time. I thought it was a scam targeting my family's few savings."
"But my wife wanted to keep me. She would put her faith in God, not to mention this letter that was sent directly to her door."
“I didn’t participate in what happened afterwards.”
"My wife attended their auction through various channels left by the other party."
"The so-called auction is actually a large-scale killing game. My wife is quite skilled and smart enough to get a ticket to the high-level auction hall."
Kes played with his broken finger and said lazily, "Angel's transaction is very special. It does not require star coins or various assets... It requires... people."
Lu Lulu's back tensed.
She recalled the prices quoted by several bidders in the cruise ship auction hall. They had been shouting out hundreds. Lu Lulu was still very confused. A few hundred star coins was definitely not possible. So it turned out that the unit of measurement for hundreds was actually people?
Seeing Lu Lulu frown, Kes smiled and said, "It's not easy to trade with living people, but if these people... are trash aliens with extremely low status and no way to appeal for their families, it would be different."
Lu Lulu's pupils shrank.
Kes looked at his fingers and said in an inexplicable tone: "My wife certainly doesn't have the means to sell people, so she can only use other methods to buy people and trade with Angel."
"Headhunting company is the best choice."
"One million star coins per person."
"My wife spent all her money to buy 320 people from the garbage planet who were looking for jobs from a headhunting company in exchange for a bottle of Angel for me to take."
Kes raised his eyes and looked at Lu Lulu: "After I took a bottle of Angel, my genetic disease was completely cured within three months."
"At that time, I was thinking that exchanging 320 lives for my health seemed... worth it..."
“But soon, I realized something was wrong.”
"I found that I was starting to lose my teeth, and the new teeth looked like saw teeth. I thought my wife smelled delicious, and I had the urge to swallow her..."
"My wife noticed something was wrong with me."
"The angel sent me another letter, saying that the angel potion needs to be taken long-term, one bottle every six months."
Kes looked at Lu Lulu quietly.
Lu Lulu didn't say anything.
Until Lu Lulu broke the silence: "How many bottles of Angel have you taken from last year to now?"
After a long silence, Kes replied, "Three bottles."
Lu Lulu closed her eyes for a long time, then opened them again and asked calmly, "Are there any obvious changes in your body after taking Angel?"
Kes slowly stood up and walked to the isolation cabin. He did not answer directly, but looked at Lu Lulu quietly: "The doctor found me after I took Angel for the first time and developed abnormalities."
"She recruited me to her aircraft research team and promoted me."
"After that, I got the second and third bottles of Angel from the channels provided by the doctor almost effortlessly."
Lu Lulu nodded: "How many people did you trade for the second and third bottles?"
Kes smiled: "I don't have the resources to get a second group of people, so I didn't use anyone to trade."
Lu Lulu looked at Kes quietly: "So, what do you trade with?"
“My connections.”
Kes lowered his eyes: "I know a lot of rich people. The doctor said that for every ten people I persuade to buy Angel, I can get a bottle of Angel."
"Who are those twenty people?"
Lu Lulu pressed forward step by step.
Kes smiled: "I won't tell you."
"Has someone held your family hostage to force you to keep it secret?"
"No."
Kes thought for a moment and then said, "You just asked me what changes occurred in my body after taking Angel?"
He looked at Lu Lulu quietly: "I am becoming less and less like a human, but I am still a human."
"You understand? A non-human with human emotions and intelligence."
"I am not the same kind of Zerg as my brother."
Kes stared at Lu Lulu closely: "Our genes have been maximized and purified, just like in some people's genes, excluding human genes, wolf genes account for the largest proportion..."
"Then as more angels are taken, the proportion of wolf genes will become larger and larger..."
Lu Lulu understood.
Each species, excluding humans, has its own unique characteristics.
If a person's genes account for 97 percent of human genes, and wolf genes account for the majority of the remaining percent, then this person has a natural advantage in strength and "hunting."
But... there are only 100 copies of genes in total. If the proportion of wolf genes continues to increase, the proportion of human genes will inevitably decrease...
By that time, will people still be human?
