Chapter 1 The New World
"Ziliang..."
"Ziliang..."
A clearer and clearer sound penetrated Ziliang's ears.
He wanted to open his eyes, but his body seemed to be in a nightmare and did not follow the command of his consciousness at all.
He could only feel the sound of calling his name getting louder and louder, until he felt a little angry. He could feel a little hot and a wet feeling on the back of his hands.
Suddenly, something hit me on my side, and it hurts a little.
"Hi!" This is another voice, from his right side, and the sound followed one after another, his foot was being stepped on.
The pain stimulated Ziliang's nerves, and he suddenly regained control of his body, and then opened his eyes suddenly.
A gust of light pierced into his sight, and in the hazy, he seemed to see a table.
……desk?
He turned his head blankly and saw Harley Quinn beside him winking at him. At this moment, Quinn was not wearing the nurse's uniform, but was wearing a very prominent outfit. Although he was still wearing a pair of ponytails, the weird makeup on his face had disappeared.
Looking at Ziliang's look of just awakening, Quinn winked at him anxiously: "Wake up quickly, Mr. McCoy is calling you!"
"Mr. McCoy?" Ziliang was dizzy. He shook his head and turned his eyes to the direction Quinn was signaling.
It was not until this time that he finally realized the situation around him.
This is an ordinary classroom, surrounded by more than 20 absolutely extraordinary "students".
The reason why it is said to be "unusual" is that these students have different ages, including people in their fifties and children under teenage years old.
What is even more unusual than the age is that among this group of people, not only are normal humans, but also "weird men" with no special appearance.
For example, the person sitting in front of Quinn had two heads and the guy sitting in the first row. Ziliang couldn't see what he looked like, because it was just a windbreaker floating in the air. OK, Ziliang realized that it was an invisible person.
At this moment, they were all sitting on chairs, looking at themselves at the same time, with a look of gloating expression in their eyes.
Obviously, I am also one of this group of ‘students’.
The teacher standing on the podium, the "Mr. McCoy" mentioned by Harley Quinn, turned out to be a beast with eyes.
Well, Ziliang didn't know how to describe this Mr. McCoy. He should be a 'person', but he was blue all over, with thick hair, muscles and face seemed to be more inclined toward the strange appearance of a beast, which made the first glance immediately think of a blue lion standing with a little myopic eye.
Perhaps seeing Ziliang's still hazy eyes, McCoy asked lightly: "So, Mr. Ziliang, do you know where we are talking about now?"
"Thirty-three pages, the second to last paragraph" Harley Quinn buried her head in the book, pressing her voice hard.
Only then did Ziliang notice that he had been holding a book in his hand
Introduction to Mutants History
He frowned and turned the book to page 33.
The penultimate paragraph was a not-too-long paragraph. Ziliang was confused and started to recite it like apart from consciousness.
"In 1995, the conflict between humans and mutants finally intensified to the point of outbreak. A battle between races swept the world overnight, and in just four months, the world's population dropped to about 40 percent.
There will never be a winner in war.
Perhaps to mock human absurdity and ignorance, a year after the war stopped, human genetic mutations began to soar at an irrepressible rate. Almost all humans, regardless of gender, race, or age, began to mutate. Until 2009, 99% of humans in the world were defined as mutants, and the probability of newborn babies was 100%. In 2011, the last "non-mutant" naturally died at the Washington, DC Hospital at the age of 86. At this point, all humans have officially entered the "mutant era."
"Very good." McCoy said: "Thank you Mr. Ziliang for reading this paragraph for us. Of course, I hope that next time you sleep in class, you will stop talking to yourself."
"Haha" a few hostile laughs.
"Okay, we haven't finished talking about quiet yet." Mr. McCoy clapped his hands: "This passage is not just to tell everyone a simple year, but more to warn everyone that war is wrong after all, no matter what its starting point is
However, war is inevitable, because of greed, competitive spirit, hatred, desire, and other factors, these terrible things are hidden in everyone's heart, and they are an indispensable instinct for life.
Therefore, contradictions are inevitable, and because we mutants have more abilities, they are more likely to cause irreparable regrets because of these unforgettable natures in our hearts.
From 2004 to 2019, the annual mortality rate reached 22 times that of the past due to the contradictions between mutants.
A level 3 mutant has the ability to kill a level 1 mutant within a few seconds, while a level 5 mutant has the ability to destroy a city. What’s even more terrifying is that some newly born children, because they cannot control their own abilities, will inadvertently kill or destroy things around them. It is said that the mortality rate of obstetricians at that time was as high as 70%.
"It's so scary, but fortunately I wasn't born in that era." Quinn muttered to herself, obviously, her dream seemed to be a doctor.
Professor McCoy looked at Quinn and smiled. It seemed that his hearing could hear Quinn talking to himself: "Yes, it was a chaos, and in a dark era, there was no law, and there was no ability to restrict billions of newly emerging mutants. According to the probability conversion, at that time, at least 10,000 5-level mutants and more than 200,000 4-level mutants in the world at the same time, and the third-level mutants reached 200,000 4-level mutants. Therefore, in the third year of the era of mutants, the structure of the entire human society began to collapse.
until"
“It was not until the introduction of the x Act that we are now.”
Ziliang suddenly took over the topic because he had already read the entire book "Introduction to the History of Mutants" during this period.
