back to the end

In the summer of the next year, Fang Quietly gave birth to a baby boy weighing five catties.

The birth of the baby boy made everyone in the Lin family elated, but Fang Qiaoyou was the only one who was depressed. When she held the baby, she seemed to be examining something, with an expression of scrutiny and research.Lin Zhizhong told her about this many times in private, and asked her if she had done anything to the child, but every time Fang quietly remained silent.

Lin Zhizhong didn't know what was going on in his heart. He was a little worried about what the other party was doing quietly. Lin Zhizhong didn't see Fang Quietly's subsequent actions when he said that his son would be turned into a mutant.So at the time, I thought it was Fang who said it casually, just like her unproven speculations, they all drifted away with time.But seeing Fang Qiaoqiao's strange appearance now, Lin Zhizhong was a little worried.

Fortunately, the child looked very safe and healthy, so Lin Zhizhong gradually felt relieved.

Then the hot summer came, and the continuous month of drought dried up the wells in the base. We had to go out constantly to find water sources or dig deeper to get water to drink all the time.The whole family of the Lin family has become so busy that they have no time to take care of other things.The yard is surrounded by simple wood at the door. Doudou is 11 years old, and he is becoming more and more silent and sensible. He is doing more and more things at home. At this time, he also joined the team of patrolling and grabbing water—I didn’t know it before Why has Base No. [-], which has been silent for more than half a year, now, because of the lack of water sources, started to plunder unscrupulously, even killing people and looting goods? Not as good as people, and they can retaliate when those people are left alone.

In addition to the necessary security measures in the base, some people were digging wells, and because they were still in the base, no one was left at home.Fang quietly took her son Lin Yugui to play at home. She has been getting worse and worse recently, and she always fell asleep unconsciously. Now she saw Lin Yugui lying next to her and playing with her own saliva bubbles, her expression flickered A long trance and tenderness.

Then it turned into shock.

She widened her eyes and stared at the child on the bed who was only a month old. When Lin Yugui was born, everyone thought he would not survive, because Fang Qiaoqiao's body was too weak. Small, but the cry is very weak.Later, it was completely unexpected, my weight doubled in a month, and my eyes could open a little occasionally.Sometimes it recognizes people by smell like a puppy.

At this moment, the waving arms of this chubby child began to deform slowly, revealing the fur of a beast, which gradually spread to the whole body. While Fang Weiwei was stunned, the cute little boy on the bed had completely turned into a dog—— ?

No, upon closer inspection, it looks like a dog, but its general characteristics are more like... a wolf?

Ordinary people saw this scene and saw their son turned into a wild beast. At about this time, if they didn't scream, they would faint.But Fang Qiaoqiao laughed suddenly, like the first spring flower blooming in March, and like a naughty girl playing in the water.

"I did it!" She panted, her eyes were shining brightly, she maintained that amazing smile, she stretched out her hand, gasping for breath, wanting to touch the furry little wolf.

Stretching out his hand, the familiar gentle smell made the little wolf whine, and he leaned over happily, swinging his chubby legs, trying to grab it.

The hand hung down from the air, and there was no sound in an instant.

But the little wolf didn't know, and started having fun on the bed.

When Lin Zhizhong came back, what he saw was the woman on the bed who had lost her warmth.She kept the last smile she had when she was alive, and stretched her hands to the inside of the bed, as if she wanted to hold something, and that thing seemed to make her feel extremely happy.

But Lin Zhizhong followed her hand and saw a chubby puppy learning to walk tremblingly on the bed. There were torn papers everywhere around the puppy.

Lin Zhizhong walked in and took a look. It was a notebook with a brown cover, and it was covered with urine stains from puppies at the moment.

These are not important things, the most important thing is - child, where is Lin Yugui? !

Could it be that this puppy...

No, this puppy looks like a baby at all, how could it eat a baby? !Lin Zhizhong was in a mess, but he didn't dare to scream. He was anxiously thinking about all possible possibilities. He just wanted to find Lin Yugui before his parents and Doudou went home. He didn't even have time to mourn for Fang Quietly's death. .

Because Fang Qiaoqiao's death had already been expected by people including Fang Qiaoqiao himself, but Lin Yugui's disappearance, if Lin's father and Lin's mother, who had returned home from exhaustion, knew, the family would be in chaos.After experiencing the events of the last days, the two old people have completely become patient and vicissitudes. The little Lin Yugui and the half-grown Doudou have been the pillars of the two old people recently.Especially Lin Yugui. After Lin Yugui disappeared, his parents were always worried. Even if they knew that Lin Yu was still alive, but they were not in front of them, the old people were extremely worried. Father Lin's mother's mind was completely attracted.

At this moment, the child disappeared, but there was an animal that he had never seen before on the bed. Lin Zhizhong's mind was in a mess. Lin Yugui, who had turned into a puppy, smelled a familiar smell, and staggered towards Lin Zhizhong. Lin Zhizhong only felt that he was being rubbed by something furry. He lowered his head and saw the puppy obediently rubbing his small head.

Impatient, Lin Zhizhong swung the puppy away with one hand, and Lin Yugui backed up a few times before he managed to stabilize himself.I don't understand why this person who is very close to me on weekdays suddenly treats me like this. He opened his mouth, wanting to make a howling sound. In the past, as long as he cried, this person would appear quickly no matter where he was, and then come to satisfy his desire. need.

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.The little Lin Yugui didn't know what to do. In his anxiety, he opened his throat and wanted to howl, probably out of instinct. His body recovered slowly, and he became like a baby, and the sound of crying Finally, the sound resounded through the humble hut.

Seeing the whole process, Lin Zhizhong felt chills in his heart—he thought that Fang Qiaoqiao had given up research a long time ago, after all, the chance of success was too small, but he didn't expect that she actually used children for experiments.

And, it was successful.

……

Lin Zhizhong stood there in a daze for a long time, until Lin's father and Lin's mother came back from work, the child's face turned blue from crying, and he was already a little choked, Lin's father and Lin's mother hurried to hug the child and asked Lin Zhizhong what was wrong.Lin Zhizhong woke up from the horror.

The first thing he did when he woke up was to frantically pick up the dilapidated notebook, frantically wanting to flip through the pages.But the notebook, which has been completely blurred by Lin Yugui's urine for a long time, has long been completely unreadable.

The boundary between human beings and beasts was completely broken by Fang Quietly using a child who could be turned into a beast.

Lin Zhizhong was not happy at all. He wanted to check Fang Qiaoqiao's experimental notes, not because he wanted to copy this myth—for the sake of this child, Fang Qiaoqiao even involved himself. do not appreciate.

Even struggling in the mud is more admirable than giving up life like this.

This is why Lin Zhizhong will never be able to become Fang Qiaoqiao.He was also a talented medical freshman who was very optimistic about by his mentors, but he would rather find ways to cure diseases and save people than to find the illusory origin and evolution.

In Lin Zhizhong’s view, evolution or not, when a disaster strikes, just like so many years have passed, human beings have survived through suffering, it is a natural evolution that needs to go through baptism, and it is not something that can be slowly studied and cultivated in a sterile room solved problem.

Instead of working on problems that cannot be solved in a lifetime, it is better to save as many patients as possible in the present.From a certain point of view, Lin Zhizhong is a person who lives in the present, he doesn't care about the future of mankind, in his opinion, since many years later, human beings will worry about it themselves, why should they care so much?

There are so many sick people in front of me, cancer, hemophilia, inexplicable unpopular terminal illness, painful kind...

To save those who are surrounded by suffering, this is Lin Zhizhong's medical belief.

This is also the reason why he will never be able to become lovers with Fang Youyou. Fang Youyou has a beautiful face and a smart brain. She also once sighed that if Lin Zhizhong is willing to join, her experiment will definitely make more progress faster.They may even become a pair of like-minded lovers who will be sung a thousand years later.

But Lin Zhizhong always understood that what Fang Qiaoqiao needed was like-mindedness, not a lover.

Taking Fang quietly and even getting married and pregnant is based on Lin Zhizhong's assumption that Fang quietly left the laboratory, so it should not be possible to really do anything to the child.

But... now everything is unexpected.

Lin Zhizhong watched his parents coax Lin Yugui, the little soft child, finally stopped crying and yawned tiredly.His face is small, white and tender, although not fat, but it looks enough to make adults who have gone through the end of the world can't help but feel soft inside.

Doudou is making faces to make the child cry. He is almost 12 years old now. In the last days, he is already half an adult. Looking at the child at this time, his eyes are full of joy and happiness—Mother Lin recognizes him as His own son, so in Doudou's eyes, this little soft Douding is his younger brother.

……How can I do.

Lin Zhizhong looked at the dazzling sunlight outside the window, but he seemed to be staying in the icy polar region—when mutants began to show that they could partially transform into beasts, it caused an uproar.Everyone was discussing whether these people could be defined as heretics. It was not until later that the battle with the beasts required mutated people, and the strong in the last days were respected, and this question was gradually suppressed.

But just being suppressed, if the world returns to peace, as long as the people in power are not mutants, I am afraid that these people will be liquidated by various methods.

The first instinctive reaction of human beings to the existence that is different from the public is to reject, which is not worth spurning, and it is the same for animals, because ensuring the unity of the whole is the basis for the normal reproduction and existence of the group.

Therefore, based on this, the existence of his own son, Lin Yugui, is a very difficult existence...

A child who can completely alienate into a beast.

Is he human, or a new race of beasts?

With the existence of such a child, how should the distinction between humans and beasts be defined?

These are all questions that scholars need to worry about.

Lin Zhizhong was only worried about one thing - if the public knew about it, Lin Yugui would definitely cause crazy snatching.And if the Lin family couldn't protect Lin Yugui, Lin Yugui might become an experiment or someone else's tool.

None of this can be determined. The only thing that is certain is that this child will never get the happiness of a real ordinary person in his life...

Thinking of this, Lin Zhizhong suddenly remembered something.

He turned around and walked out of the house, the direction he was leaving was the laboratory - based on what he knew, Fang Qiaoqiao must have thought of anything he could think of.

Fang Qiaoqiao must have left something for him, perhaps even violating Lin Zhizhong's beliefs, perhaps even life-threatening, in short...in the laboratory, there must be an answer.
