Anna?
Instantly withdrawing his mind, Lin An suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and had no choice but to say hello to the other party.
The gentle voice paired with this body really makes people feel a strong sense of confusion.
If he only listened to the voice, he would even think that the other party was a woman similar to the mature version of Wen Ya.
But no matter how weird it is, at least the other party seems to be the only one among this group of alienated humans who expresses kindness to him.
But Lin An didn't know why the other party took the initiative to find him.
Yes, arrangement?
As if sensing the doubt in Lin An's heart, the woman raised her sharp claws, covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Don't be nervous. I also heard from those children that you are a survivor of another civilization."
"I'm just a little curious..."
After saying that, Anna looked at Lin An curiously, but because the size difference was too huge, her bending movements were like observing an ant on the ground.
"Would you like to show me around here? Can you answer some of my questions?"
Enduring the slight discomfort, Lin An looked up at Anna quite solemnly.
He couldn't sense the other party's strength at all. Faintly, he only knew that when this alienated human appeared, all the fourth-order people around him who were locked on him disappeared.
It was as if this alienated human named Anna had such a high status that the other people guarding him felt that there was no need to lock him down anymore.
Level 4 Intermediate and above are Level 4 Advanced! ?
Unable to determine Anna's specific strength, Lin An could only cautiously confirm what the other party had just said.
"certainly."
"Actually, we have no hostility towards you."
"You are not a mutant, so you are not an enemy to us. In fact, those children are so indifferent to you because they have not had much contact with the outside world."
"They are just instinctively hostile to you, and they don't mean anything malicious. After all, people have to be careful, right?"
Lin An was slightly taken aback when he heard Anna's soothing words.
Mentioning children twice in a row? It seems that the alienated human being in front of me should belong to the earliest batch of alienated humans?
From Anna's conversation, he actually felt that he was talking to humans before the end of the world.
But it doesn't matter.
"Well, Miss Anna, I do have a lot of questions to ask."
"I'm curious, what's your alienation like? I once came into contact with native humans outside, and they seemed to treat you..."
"Not used to it."
"Do alienated humans also have the ability to reproduce?"
Carefully organizing his words, Lin An directly asked one of the questions he was most concerned about.
He knows the principle of alienated human enhancement, which is similar to the Corpse Emperor.
However, the Corpse Emperor also followed the path of rules, and only after devouring so many humans and mutants could he become a pseudo-fourth level.
In the same way, Lin An couldn't imagine how these alienated humans bypassed the rules and directly relied on their bodies to become the fourth level?
Or is it possible to advance through pure attribute improvement before the fourth level? Are the requirements just too harsh and extreme?
Not only that, he was really curious about how human beings could produce so many fourth-order ones?
Where are there so many mutants for them to eat?
With so many fourth levels, the amount of spiritual energy required is simply astronomical!
"Curious little guy."
"You are really reckless when you ask us about our core secrets..."
"Don't you know that these secrets are the key to a race?"
"Only the dead know."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin An's whole body tensed up. But before he could do anything, Anna smiled again and suddenly changed her tone.
"Okay, I won't scare you anymore."
"Actually, it's not really a secret. I know you're curious."
"Do you call us alienated humans? It seems that you have indeed come into contact with the original people."
With a look of reminiscence on her face, Anna shook her head, and the huge mouth in her chest opened and closed gently:
"It wouldn't be wrong to call us alienated humans."
"We are still humans before we become the fourth level, or we maintain the human form transformation before we become alienated humans."
"Inside the core hub, there is a mother factory. Every alienated human being today is created based on the genes of the first batch of alienated pioneers."
"After birth, we will instill basic human knowledge directly through teleportation, and then infect these children with the zombie virus."
"In this way, the newborn child will have a mutant template."
"Around these seeds, we will kill the induced mutants in batches so that they can quickly absorb spiritual energy and quickly increase their levels."
"As for the native humans outside who are alienated and hostile to us, it's probably because they can't accept that humans will become like this, right?"
Listening to Anna's more detailed explanation than Rose's, Lin An felt certain and instantly heard another layer of subtext.
So yes.. clone! ?
The first pioneers of alienation?
So all subsequent alienated humans were created through cloning? No, there should be other conditions.
Otherwise, the cloned things will be like Chita zombies, which cannot be considered human beings.
Realizing that Anna still hid something, Lin An didn't hesitate and just thought of another layer.
Kill mutants in batches so that new mutants can be upgraded?
There is obviously a problem with this.
If he guessed correctly, the method adopted by the other party should be to artificially induce the emergence of mutants!
Even more horrifyingly, Lin An even suspected that it was used to become alienated human clones or to kill mutants that extracted psychic energy. The "things" used by both are probably people!
It's just that the former has human consciousness, and the latter... No, the latter also has it!
In an instant, Lin An suddenly recalled the scene when he first encountered the bloody witch.
Once upon a time, after he saw the bloody witch's transformation process, he also thought that humans who had just been infected with the virus could be artificially induced to become mutants!
It's just that he didn't have the ability to realize it at the beginning, and later felt that it was too risky and unnecessary. Moreover, it is too cruel.
But now it seems that this is the method adopted by the alienated human beings!
My heart felt slightly cold.
As he had already guessed, Lin An's eyes flashed with a touch of fear.
Anna claimed that the reason why native humans resisted them was probably not the so-called inability to accept being like this.
But...
You can't accept artificially inducing humans into mutants, right?
For some reason, after Lin An was almost 90% sure of confirming his guess, he faintly heard an undetectable, but extremely painful scream that echoed throughout the world.
Memory fragments flashed instantly.
For a moment, Lin An felt as if he was looking down into a man-made pit.
In the deep pit, a large number of cloned humans were injected with zombie viruses. They stretched out their hands helplessly and screamed while enduring inhuman torture.
Infected people who have not survived the alienation and cannot maintain any sanity become mutants and are killed and eaten.
The successful ones, while retaining vague consciousness, numbly devoured corpses in the mountain of corpses that were of the same kind a second ago.
Eat big mouthfuls, you eat me and I eat you.
Devour, sift, and devour.
Repeated over and over again, an alienated person who regained his "consciousness" was finally born from the endless blood of corpses.
In a daze, Lin An seemed to have really seen this scene.
After a brief moment of confusion, he suddenly woke up and tried his best to hide that he had guessed this.
Not caring why he saw this scene, Lin An suppressed the shock in his heart and couldn't help but ask the second question.
"You guys seem to have had a perfect person before?"
"Why did your perfect one die? Is he yours or a mutant?"
