Chapter 221 Lei Kui
It took tens of millions of years for human beings to go from the ancient apes on all fours to the Homo sapiens walking upright on both feet. However, now, the speed of human evolution has suddenly accelerated, and Qi Lin couldn't help but feel a little worried.
According to common sense, this is the same as pinching seedlings to encourage growth, and there will be some hidden dangers after all. Just like the "New Human Project" proposed by scientists before the war, they tried to create stronger and smarter babies by directly adjusting the gene sequence of the embryo.
This "new human project" was once regarded as a brand new future after the evolution of human beings has been standing still for thousands of years.
But unfortunately, they failed. The first batch of 150 embryos provided by volunteers died due to genetic collapse, and most of them died before leaving the test tube stage. Only three embryos survived by chance. .
And the only three remaining embryos became deformed monsters in the end, and they had to be "disposed" before they were born.
Now, this group of scientists has introduced this method to allow humans to evolve on their own. It sounds even more unreliable than the "New Human Project".
Thinking of this, Qi Lin hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his worries in one go.
Cheng Yanqiu listened, pondered for a few seconds, and then said: "Your worry is not unreasonable... But, I think, natural selection is the most powerful law on earth."
"If we don't take such extreme measures, it will be difficult for humans to gain a foothold on the wasteland under the current human conditions... Whether it is radiation, monsters or resource shortages, it will directly lead to our extinction... and only evolution, To find a way out of a desperate situation.”
"With the increase in the number of evolutionaries, people with genetic collapse will definitely appear, but those who can survive are the success of evolution... The evolution of any species is not accompanied by the corpses of thousands of eliminated Woolen cloth?"
After Cheng Yanqiu finished speaking, everyone fell into silence for a while.
This elite team is also a second-level evolutionary at the lowest level. If there is any genetic collapse, they will probably be the "first batch of eliminated" in the new evolutionary history of mankind.
"Okay, at our current level, we are still far away from the level of genetic collapse. Let's not mention this." Finally, Cheng Yanqiu broke the silence, took out two boxes of bombs from his backpack, put them on the ground, and opened them. lid.
Qi Lin saw that these were the two most common calibers other than the 5.8mm used by Huaxia, namely 7.62mm and 5.56mm, but this was the first time he had seen a bullet of this shape.
The entire bullet is made of alloy, and the bullet is covered with copper armor, but where the bullet is not covered by the copper armor, it can be seen that there are cut grooves similar to grenade fragments.
"A modified dum?"
Qi Lin picked up a 7.62mm bullet, and glanced over it suspiciously.
Dum bullets, also commonly known as "blossom bullets", are hollow bullets with no armor covering the front end. Therefore, after entering the human body, the internal lead core will come out of the armor under the action of inertia, and then deform, rupture, and roll over. A large cavity is stirred within the victim's flesh.
Generally, those who are hit by dum bombs have a very high mortality rate. Even if they survive by chance, they will probably end up with amputation and disability.
Because this kind of bullet is too inhumane, it is banned by international conventions... However, in a real war, those conventions are just a dead letter, otherwise, the surface of the earth would not be turned into a devastated wasteland now.
It's just that, although the Dum bullet is powerful, but because the metal armor on the front end of the bullet is removed, it is the same as the hollow point bullet, and it is not as good as ordinary bullets in terms of penetration. Like those mutated creatures with rough skin and thick flesh, the dummies probably wouldn't be able to penetrate the opponent's skin.
The two boxes of bullets that Cheng Yanqiu took out seemed to have undergone some adjustments in structure. A metal armor was added to the front end of the bullets, which instead exposed the tails of the bullets.
"No, this is a new thing developed by a weapon factory under our Cheng's consortium - Hg anti-personnel bullet. The bullet is not a lead core, but high-density mercury. After the bullet is fired into the target's body, the bullet will go along When the cutting groove is compressed and deformed, the mercury inside will scatter out on the vertical plane, which is very useful for dealing with advanced mutant creatures and evolutionists."
"Mercury?" Qi Lin was slightly surprised. Although he had never seen the actual combat effect of this bullet, according to Cheng Yanqiu's words, this bullet can definitely more than double the power of ordinary conventional firearms.
Mercury is not only high in quality and density, but also highly toxic. If it explodes in the human body... Qi Lin can hardly imagine the picture.
"Yeah... I heard that the cost of this thing is quite high, but this time, it can be used to deal with those advanced evolutionists of the Mutual Aid Society."
Including Qi Lin, several people divided the two boxes of mercury bullets in an instant. The quantity was limited, and each person only got about twenty rounds.
Qi Lin pulled out several SCAR-H magazines on his body, and stuffed the twenty powerful bullets into the magazines according to the loading order of every three conventional bullets and one mercury bullet—he believed that by then , these mercury bullets can definitely leave an unforgettable memory for the Templars of the Mutual Aid Society.
Just as everyone was filling the mercury bombs, a burst of engine sound suddenly came from the entrance of the gymnasium. Qi Lin and Cheng Yanqiu looked at the same time, and saw three off-road vehicles galloping in from outside, with harsh brakes sounding. Stopped in front of a long line of tents.
"It seems that the commander of this force is here."
Before Cheng Yanqiu finished speaking, a man wearing a gray-green combat uniform, a tower-like man jumped off the co-pilot of the first car, and looked around the entire stadium.
"Lei Kui? It's him?" Cheng Yanqiu couldn't help showing a strange expression after seeing the appearance of this "commander".
"Lei Kui? What's wrong with this man?" Qi Lin turned around, wondering.
"Did you know that wasteland survival grand prix? It was the time you won the championship." Cheng Yanqiu said slowly with his arms around his chest.
"He planned it?!"
"It wasn't him. That time it was Lei Muyun, the fourth young master of Patriarch Lei's family. At that time, the E-grade serum you asked for seemed to be a conflict with Lei Mu, so he would interfere with it, and wanted you to die in the ruins of the city. You can trap the disruptive 'Klein', but who knows that you not only killed Klein, but also won the final championship." Cheng Yanqiu said, it seems that he has already investigated Qi Lin's previous details It's clear.
"Then what is the relationship between this Lei Kui and that Lei Mu?"
"The Lei family is one of the seven controlling families behind the consortium alliance, and this Lei Kui is Lei Muyun's cousin, and has a very close relationship with Lei Muyun."
"So, this Lei Kui is very likely to come to trouble me?" Qi Lin looked at the tall and burly figure in the distance, and casually pulled the bolt of the SCAR, and a sound came from inside the gun immediately There was a crisp sound of bullets being loaded.
"It's not very likely, but it will definitely come to trouble you. As far as I know, that Lei Muyun is a very vengeful person."
