An old man at the head stretched out his arms and said: "Hello, mysterious guests who have come from afar! I am Luya, and welcome you to our lost city, to this city full of suffering."

Chu Jungui felt incredible at this way of speaking that was similar to singing. Lin Xi greeted you and said, "We are very willing to learn about your history. History means wisdom."

"We are willing to open up all our secrets. However, with each passing day, the children of hell will become more powerful, so please allow me to ask, are you willing to fight with us against the children of hell?"

"Very willing! In fact, the modified bodies and the sons of hell have also killed many of our brothers and sisters."

Lu Ya took a deep look at Lin Xi, but of course he couldn't see anything from the mirrored helmet. He turned around and walked deeper into the hall and said, "Please follow me, our history is displayed in the back."

Several people followed Luya, passed through the small door at the back of the hall, walked through a short corridor, and came to an exhibition hall similar to a museum.

On the central exhibition stand, there is actually a spaceship model!

Although it is obvious at first glance that it is an outdated model, this is after all a real spaceship capable of interstellar navigation.

"This is the Pioneer Spirit, which is also the immigrant spacecraft that our ancestors took when they arrived here. It was only seriously injured when it jumped into this galaxy, and could only barely support it until it landed on the surface of the planet. Those on the side are all Pioneer Spirit of the wreckage.”

As expected, the nearby booths were full of spacecraft wreckage. Lin Xi's enthusiasm was immediately extinguished.

Luya took them to the next booth, where there was an old photo that looked like a group photo of the entire crew of the spacecraft, and there was also an electronic photo album.

"This is the entire crew of the Pioneer Courage, a total of 93 people. Fortunately, most of the more than a thousand cryogenic sleep chambers loaded on the ship at the time were intact, so we can survive on this planet."

Next is some video material. At that time, the crew of the Pioneer Spirit awakened the immigrants in the dormant cabin and survived on this planet. The immigrants established their initial base, explored resources, and gradually explored unknown territories.

Everything seemed to be going well, but when one day an expedition exceeded its deadline and did not return, the immigrants knew they might be in trouble.

Next, just like the plots of many movies and TV series, this group of immigrants from the community encountered the modified bodies, and both sides became aware of each other's existence. The modified bodies couldn't communicate at all, and they immediately started a war.

The initial immigrants also had abundant supplies and ammunition, and they also had technological advantages over the modified bodies. They successfully repelled multiple attacks by the Cyborg army, and even occupied one of the Cyborg's factories at one point. There, they saw the Hellspawn for the first time.

At that time, there were also serious differences within the immigrants about how to deal with the children of hell. Some people advocate immediate destruction. After all, it is difficult to overestimate the danger of a creation that cannot even be modified. Others find various reasons to object, but there is only one real reason, and that is 'immortality'.

Although no one knows whether the children of hell are truly immortal, many scientists know very well that the so-called immortality is actually the first and crucial step towards eternal life.

Under the temptation of eternal life, the immigrants ignored the huge risks and chose to keep the Children of Hell. They also tried to decipher the system and seize the research information of the Children of Hell.

However, before they could successfully decipher the system, they were suddenly attacked by the modified army. They suffered heavy losses and had to retreat. The Sons of Hell returned to the hands of the modified bodies.

The next few hundred years were a process of constant tug-of-war between new immigrants and transformed bodies. The large number of casualties caused the immigrants' population to always hover around ten thousand people. It was not until they branched off into several groups to explore and build cities in distant places and reproduce that the population began to grow.

However, the immigrants discovered that there were actually humans among the transformed bodies. Although many of them were slaves, some were able to live freely. This made them confused about the purpose of the modified body, and they didn't understand what the purpose of the modified body was.

But one thing is certain, the modified body's attitude towards new immigrants has always been to kill them all, and this has never changed. The immigrants don't know how to distinguish the modified bodies. Those leopard warriors who have no independent will will fight to the death when they encounter immigrants, while those who encounter them will turn a blind eye.

Next, there is a series of demonstrations of the crimes committed by the modified body. Including biochemical cloning factories, the corpses of new immigrants that need to be moved by trucks, piles of dismembered immigrant limbs and organs, and immigrants who are nailed to pillars and can only die slowly and painfully.

"These modified bodies look like a cult." Lin Xi said.

Luya waved his arms vigorously and said loudly: "They are madmen, machines and murderers! They have no souls and no mercy. They treat us like butchers facing pigs and sheep. On this planet, only one of us is destined to be able to Survive!"

After the elder calmed down a little, Lin Xi said, "Is there anything you can tell us about the Son of Hell?"

Luya hesitated a little, and after discussing in a low voice with several elders around him, he said: "Our ancestors once obtained some information when they occupied the biochemical factory. As a sign of sincerity, we are willing to share some of it with you first."

Luya led everyone to the other side of the museum. As the lights dimmed, a hidden screen appeared on the wall and a video began to play.

The beginning of the film is obviously from a microscope perspective, with cells scattered everywhere. At this moment, a cell burst into view. It was obviously much larger than the other cells. It pounced directly on the nearby cells and swallowed them whole!

After engulfing several cells, it divides into a new cell. The new cells also began to devour the surrounding cells. In this way, the vicious cells capable of phagocytosis continued to divide, and there were more and more of them. In the blink of an eye, there was only one type of cell left in the field of vision.

Without food, they came together on their own, and then some of them began to change and began to evolve other functions. In this way, in just ten minutes, a multi-cellular life form appeared in front of everyone.

"Is the movie sped up?"

"No."

Luya's answer surprised everyone. This means that the speed of these cells is hundreds of times that of ordinary cells, and they seem to have a mysterious sensing ability that can determine whether there is enough food in the surrounding environment. Once there is not enough food, they will choose to evolve into a higher form of life.
