Chen Qian sat slumped on the soft sofa, eating delicious food, and began to search for the information he wanted.
Soon she got her answer.
The world now is fifteen years different from the time before she traveled.
In other words, not long after the time she traveled through, the world was invaded by alien species. I don’t know whether she was lucky or unlucky.
After receiving this information, Chen Qian was suddenly startled. It was now the 15th year of the last century.
If...she meant if...
This world is still the original world, so will she meet her parents, younger brother and her friends again?
Chen Qian's heart was beating fast. An innocent girl of sixteen or seventeen years old suddenly came to a strange place. Not only did she meet monsters every day, but she also didn't have any of her kind.
Isn't she afraid?
How can it be?
She was almost scared to death at first.
But, every time I want to give up, I am not willing to die like that.
When he thought of this possibility, Chen Qian couldn't help but want to cry again.
Her emotions had been suppressed for too long, which made her want to shed tears when she got excited today, as if she wished she could make up for all the emotions she had in those three years.
After a while, Chen Qian regained his composure. Now was not the time to think about this.
She needed to quickly figure out the situation she was in now.
Wait for her to stand firm before thinking about those unlikely possibilities, even if there is only a glimmer of hope!
...
In the year 2471 of the Gregorian calendar, when human beings should have been prospering and developing towards a technological planet hundreds of years ago, there were frequent snags in the middle.
Either natural disasters, the outbreak of war, or human pollution of the earth, etc.
These endless disasters finally stopped the trend of collapse in 2431 of the Gregorian calendar, that is, forty years ago.
Humanity survives.
When society returns to order, just when everyone thinks that the world depends on everyone, happiness for you, me and him will begin.
The end of the world is coming and alien species invade.
The earth's plates were torn apart by silent and strange divisions and spliced together otherworldly continents. The countless times increase in the earth's area did not make humans happy, because countless space gaps followed one after another. Those strange space gaps connected the alien continents. , ferocious-looking, cold-blooded and cruel monsters ravaged this clear world, and for a time the entire earth fell into endless killing.
In just one year, humanity lost 90% of its population, leaving less than one billion people on earth in such a short period of time.
In the year 2471 of the Gregorian calendar, after mankind used all existing nuclear weapons to blow up the three largest space cracks over the western sea, the alien invasion finally stopped temporarily.
Historically known as [Battle of the Western Sea]
The battle was the largest, most destructive, and highest in casualties in human history.
There were more than 30 participating countries, which were the only 30 countries left at that time.
On the first day after the Battle of the Western Sea Territory, people cried in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Humanity named this year the Year of the End of the Age.
In the first year of the End of the Age, due to the strange splicing of the earth's plates, the space gaps in some plates were too dense and were no longer suitable for human habitation. Therefore, the population slowly migrated and concentrated on the largest Eurasian plate.
In the same year, the earth was divided into four major regions: east, west, north and south. Each region has 4 S-level cities, 10 A-level cities, 24 B-level cities, and several C-level cities, which may be increased or decreased according to the conditions of the region.
The predecessor of the Mutants Association was also slowly taking shape at this moment.
At the same time as the alien invasion, human bodies also underwent mutations, and strange patterns appeared on everyone's bodies.
Therefore, humans officially changed their name to mutants this year. Of course, many people prefer to call themselves humans.
In the third year of the last century, the system [Hope 2471] was officially launched. In the same year, the first version of the "Earth Mutant Race Law" was released.
The Mutants Association also broke away from its predecessor as a national government agency and officially became the only official force on Earth.
Although there will be factional fights among the mutant associations in the four major regions, all mutant humans have the same attitude towards those invasive alien species.
Those who invade our territory will defend it to the death! Kill it!
It was also this year that the system [Hope 2471] released globally unified information about the end of the world.
【Original species】
All invasive alien species are collectively called primitive species. Although they are cruel and vicious, they are edible resources, and most of the food sources of mutants also come from this.
The skin, hair, bones, tendons, etc. of primitive species are all excellent biological resources.
【Parasite species】
When humans mutate, risks also come. Each stage promotion is accompanied by the transformation of reason into beasts. When the patterns on the body completely disappear, the mutants will become parasitic species that have lost their humanity and will no longer be able to survive. The possibility of becoming human again.
Although the body of the parasitic species is also very strong, most people are not willing to use such resources because of human psychology towards the original kind.
Parasitic species, whether exotic animals or plants, are difficult to swallow, and their meat is sour and smelly.
Note: The earth's original animals and plants are collectively called the earth's atavistic species and are edible.
【Animal Pattern】
When humans discovered that their bodies could transform into animals or plants, patterns appeared on the foreheads of men and the left breasts of women.
However, the energy contained in a pattern the size of a fingernail is extremely amazing.
The Mutants Association names the patterns on human beings [Beast Patterns]. The female animal patterns are of a different type. The animal patterns of male uncontracted mutants are unified. After forming a contract, they become the contract master's animal patterns.
The parasitic species and primitive species also have energy bodies like crystal nuclei appearing in their bodies, so they are named [Beast Cores].
Beast markings and beast cores have the same origin. When a human's beast markings disappear, a beast core of the same level will be formed in the body, and at this time, it has become a parasitic species.
The higher the level, the greater the possibility of becoming a parasitic species.
Risk and strength coexist.
[Color levels and points conversion of animal patterns and animal cores]:
Level 0 - white - 1 point
Level 1 - Gray - 10 points
Level 2 - Cyan - 100 points
Level 3 - Green - 1000 points
Level 4 - Blue - 10,000 points
Level 5 - Purple - 100,000 points
Level 6 - Yellow - 1,000,000 points
Level 7 - Orange - 10,000,000 points
Level 8 - Gold - 100,000,000 points
Level 9 - Unknown - Imponderable
Level 10 - unknown - cannot be estimated
The opponent's level can be roughly determined based on the color of the animal pattern, coercion, energy fluctuations, etc. Low-level mutants have difficulty detecting high-level levels except by looking at the animal pattern.
Note: The above data are all derived from battle statistics. Humanity obtained two precious eighth-level golden beast cores in the Gregorian calendar 2471 [Battle of the Western Sea]. Subsequent data will be continuously updated.
【Ascending Order】
Mutants can level up by absorbing animal cores and eating primitive species.
Generally, the energy range required for upgrading is about a hundred beast cores of the same level. Due to the individual differences of the mutants and the difference in the energy of the beast cores, the number will fluctuate.
The normal time to absorb and digest an animal core is 3-21 days
The higher the grade, the slower the digestion.
Note: Try not to absorb beyond the level, as it will increase the risk of becoming a parasitic species.
【Beast Tide】
After the final battle in the Western Sea, in mid-August every year, the original species from another world will enter a period of restlessness, and some will invade the earth through space gaps. This is called the "Big Beast Tide", which lasts from half a month to one month.
In the middle of every month, there will also be a small-scale invasion of alien beasts in the space gaps, which is called [small beast tide]
Beast Tide Period: Male mutants whose occupations are [Defender] and [Guardian] will be forced to participate in city defense if there is an emergency transfer order.
Note: In the last three years of the last three years, the population of the earth has dropped sharply to 400 million due to these beasts. The current estimated population is about 570 million.
【type of jobs】
Beast Slaughter: One person has slaughtered more than a hundred fifth-level alien species. (Special occupations only accept high-level emergency transfer orders and global mandatory transfer orders)
Pioneers: Exploring, hunting, collecting, etc. outside the four major regions of the earth.
Guardian: Guard city defense, citizen safety, traffic maintenance, city security, etc.
Defenders: Combatants who participate in large-scale battles and accept any orders during the beast tide period.
Researcher: Core R&D staff of the Mutants Association.
Auxiliary: All personnel except the above occupations.
Note: During special periods, when there are no ordinary people, alien species break through the attack and defense, and after invading the city, all citizens are asked to take up arms to defend themselves and their homes.
[Contract owner and matcher system]
Due to the sharp decline in the earth's population, the risk of mutants becoming parasitic species has increased.
The system of contract owners and spouses was officially implemented in the fourth year of the last century.
According to research, the original species is a matrilineal race, and the female beast is extremely repressive to other beasts. Due to evolutionary reasons, the mutants are also naturally close to the alien species.
Therefore, for the survival of mutant humans.
After the female mutant reaches the age of fifteen, she must have five or more matches. The mutant's body has evolved long ago, so the childbearing time of a woman is reduced to seven months after pregnancy, with a minimum of three and a maximum of ten. In the first month of life, all newborns are in animal form or have implanted eggs.
The matchmaker system requires women to have at least five children within three years of matching.
Note: Five years after the End of the World, due to the rise in the status of female mutants, female mutants united with their matchmakers to protest against the Mutant Association.
In the last five years, the system for female matches has been changed, and the welfare of female mutants has been improved.
At the same time, the age of marriage for female mutants was raised to eighteen years old, and the mandatory requirement for women to have children was abolished.
Note: During special periods, the Mutants Association officially prohibits abortion.
