Chapter 95: Who Are The New Humans?

Type B （ Pheromone Control Type ）-

Sweat glands secrete pheromone complexes

–

Can induce target to secrete specific neurotransmitters

……

This lineage’s evolved individuals’ own immune systems continuously attack mutated glands. After improvement, it tends towards stability but cannot achieve universal modification. Therefore, excluded.

Therefore, excluded……

“Therefore, excluded” again!

This third lineage, obviously, is the evolutionary direction of the person Lu Xi’an killed.

My previous guess was correct; the key to that New Human controlling people is indeed in their sweat.

Lu Xi’an doesn’t possess the relevant professional knowledge and doesn’t understand what a pheromone mixture is, but it’s obvious that what exists in that New Human’s sweat glands is the key to controlling others, or rather, other creatures.

Look at the description in the second line—can induce target to secrete specific neurotransmitters.

I wonder what specific neurotransmitter I was induced to secrete before?

Lu Xi’an thought that the initial rush of pleasure to his head was probably due to things like dopamine and endorphins.

This is a neurotransmitter, he still knows that.

He even felt a bit addicted, and if possible, he really wanted to experience that feeling again.

However, he reacted and immediately took a deep breath, forcefully expelling this subconscious thought from his mind.

Pleasure rewards not obtained through one’s own efforts are definitely toxic and would severely erode and deplete one’s willpower; I absolutely cannot get addicted.

—In such a dangerous world, to be defeated by such unearned gains is practically suicidal.

Moreover, the most important thing right now is not to reminisce about the pleasure.

In this manual, the end of the A, B, and C evolutionary lineages are all marked with the words “Therefore, excluded,” as if these three directions were all failed evolutionary paths.

Then what is correct?

D?

Lu Xi’an continued to look further.

The “Therefore, excluded” lines for Type B had already been turned to the next page, with large sections of description buried by torn book pages.

And after that section of “Therefore, excluded” was the introduction to Type D—

Type D （ Environmental Symbiotic Type ）

Outer fur hollowed and produced aerogel insulation layer, middle layer specialized beauty energy storage fiber, bottom layer symbiotic blue algae improved cold-resistant strain, fat layer honeycombed with thermoelectric crystals.

Phosphorescent coating on fur tips, establishment of humus decomposition cavity, lipid-ketone body conversion system activated during hibernation, stratum corneum deposited with carotenoid composite crystals, symbiotic bacteria secreting photolyase.

Blood contains antifreeze glycoproteins, cell membrane phospholipid bilayer inserted with branched-chain fatty acids, subcutaneous air sacs inflated to form a snow-nest micro-ecosystem…

A pile of text, still full of question marks, not a single circle.

Lu Xi’an was sure that the person who had this book before couldn’t understand it, and neither could he.

Anyway, looking at this text, which was as incomprehensible as heavenly script, he inexplicably felt that this type of New Human would be super cold and super hunger-resistant.

But compared to the three types A, B, and C, what was special?

He, Yao Wei, and even everyone in this world, seemed to be quite cold- and hunger-resistant. It was just that, in comparison, newcomers like him and Yao Wei should be more resistant.

The subsequent text was again cut off by torn pages. The person who originally had this manual was too unappreciative of books; I wonder if they used this paper to wipe their backside?

But it didn’t matter, as he couldn’t understand it much anyway.

Lu Xi’an flipped through the pages while daydreaming. After turning the page, the content on this page was different from before, directly jumping to something called “Therefore, excluded.”

The beginning of the content on this page was—

This plan constructs a multi-level energy capture/storage network, combined with molecular-level cold-resistant structures, offering the following advantages:

Improved energy balance.

Extended survival period without resupply.

Increased tolerance threshold for ultraviolet radiation.

Basic body temperature can fluctuate between 28-41℃ without affecting physiological functions.

The evaluation confirmed that this plan is suitable for the current environment, with a high success rate. Furthermore, after improvement, the intensity can be reduced, increasing the success rate and possessing universality.

Therefore, this plan is designated as the final plan, and the improved model is named “Type D-1.”

This improved model has already been put into production and delivered to launch towers across various regions along with this reference manual.

Note: Types A, B, and C are alternative models and are retained. They can be requested for distribution in special circumstances.

Type D Primitive Strain has severe instability, but the effect is significantly enhanced after successful evolution, making it adaptable to abnormal extreme environments.

This model can be compressed and concentrated for extraction from the “Type D-1” strain, and local areas can apply for approval to use it in emergencies.

Lu Xi’an’s eyelids twitched as he looked at the text still full of question marks.

Yao Wei noticed Lu Xi’an’s abnormal expression and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Lu Xi’an pointed to the text about “Type D” and “Type D-1” in the manual and said, “Looking at the description here, how do I feel like… the ordinary people in this world are the New Humans?”

Yao Wei frowned and asked, “Then what about us?”

“Us…”

Lu Xi’an hesitated and said, “More like… test subjects for New Humans?”

He continued to flip forward. There wasn’t much content left, and it was still filled with question marks.

There were requirements for launch tower specifications, strain aerosol deployment times, and also the distribution and use of RNase aerosol, which was said to degrade free RNA and cause the evolved individual to reverse evolution, leading to degeneration.

Look at this term, “evolved individual,” how novel!

However, Lu Xi’an was more concerned about this RNase aerosol.

The manual states that this substance can cause evolved individuals to degenerate. If this thing still exists in the world now, wouldn’t he and Yao Wei also have to face a horror similar to kryptonite?

It’s a pity that the manual doesn’t provide a specific appearance for the RNase aerosol, otherwise, they could pay attention to it in the future.

And that Resonance Device, Lu Xi’an finally knew what it was.

This manual also mentioned it. The full name of this instrument is “Resonant Gene Scanner,” which is said to be able to detect telomere abnormal proliferation.

That New Human was likely able to discover the Fungal Stone using this detection function, right?

And…

Lu Xi’an looked closely at the text description. How did it seem like this thing could also find New Humans?

Telomere abnormal proliferation, it wouldn’t just refer to that Fungal Stone, would it?

The content in this manual is clearly aimed at and counteracting special New Humans like Types A, B, C, and the primitive Type D. With the Resonant Gene Scanner only targeting Fungal Stones, how much effect would it have?

If the guess is correct, that scanner should indeed be able to discover New Humans.

Is it also precisely because of this that the New Human was able to prepare in advance and ambush him and Yao Wei on the road where the vehicle was traveling?

The manual still provides no description of this instrument. That New Human did not carry the instrument with them; perhaps it was left in the tower in Mengxin City.

Tower…

Launch Tower…
