Doomsday: I Have Infinite Legion

Chapter 17 Gene Lock

After walking for several miles, the team came to the edge of a lake.

As the sky gradually dimmed, Yang Sen decided to rest by the lake for one night, and wait until tomorrow to start his journey.

Yang Yue observed it. A hundred years ago, this place should have been an artificial lake.

However, after undergoing the transformation of nature, it is no different from a naturally formed lake.

The place where the artificial lake can still be seen is only a small pavilion in the center of the lake. At this time, more than half of it is soaked by the lake water, and it looks infinitely bleak.

The lake is surrounded by flat land, and you can basically see everything at a glance, so you don't have to worry about sneak attacks from mutant beasts or zombies.

The only place to pay attention to should be the sky. After all, there is no cover in the open flat land. If there are flying mutant beasts passing by, it is easy to spot them.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. In order to avoid attacks on the ground, Yang Sen can only give up the safety in the sky.

"Everyone, don't start a fire!" Yang Sen said.

Everyone nodded, because the firelight would attract attention from the sky.

Fortunately, the moonlight is still bright tonight, so we won't have to fumble around in the darkness.

Nights in the last days are boring, especially in the wild, so Li Peng and Zhang Fu rested early after eating dry food.

Yang Sen was holding an energy crystal and was tinkering with something!
"Aren't you an awakener?"

At some point, Xiaoya came to Yang Yue's side.

The unique virgin fragrance on her body was very pleasant, which shocked Yang Yue.

When he turned his head, he saw Xiaoya's delicate face pressed against his own. The distance was too close.

"Yeah!" She exclaimed and backed away quickly.

"Sorry! I didn't mean it!" Yang Yue was also a little panicked. This was the first time he was so close to a girl.

"It's okay!" Xiaoya took a few deep breaths to calm down.

"Captain Yang is absorbing energy crystals!"

"Absorbing energy crystals?" Yang Yue questioned.

Xiaoya nodded, "A crystal like this can probably increase your strength by 1 kilogram!"

"Captain Yang's gene lock was unlocked the day after tomorrow, so he absorbs energy crystals very slowly, so he usually uses his free time to absorb energy crystals!"

Yang Yue listened very seriously, he didn't know enough about this world, he wanted to know other information about this world.

As for the matter of the awakened person, because Yang Yue's predecessor did not unlock the gene lock, he knew nothing about the awakened person, only the most basic division of ranks.

Without unlocking the gene lock, you cannot become an awakened person, and you will only be an ordinary person for the rest of your life.

Yang Yue thought about whether he could unlock the gene lock. His predecessors had failed, so he probably didn't have much hope.

But then he thought about it, whether he could become an awakened person or not was not that important. He just needed to develop the legion with peace of mind.

Seeing Yang Yue's longing look, Xiaoya reluctantly said, "Since that's the case, then I'll talk to you to satisfy your desire to learn!"

Yang Yue nodded, indicating that he would listen carefully.

"Gene locks are the key to becoming an awakened person. Everyone's gene locks are different, so the abilities you get after unlocking are also different!"

"Of course, most people cannot complete the opening process, and the gene lock that cannot be opened is called a waste lock!"

Xiaoya spoke very seriously, like a scholar imparting knowledge.

"Of course, there are exceptions to everything. It doesn't mean that a broken lock cannot be opened!"

"After research and exploration, the people of the Apocalypse have developed a potion! With this potion, the waste lock can be opened for the second time!"

Apocalypse! This is another new name, Yang Yue secretly wrote it down in his mind.

"Of course! The chance of opening it through the potion is not great, only about [-]%, and once it fails, the power in the potion will instantly destroy the gene, killing people instantly!"

"And people who unlock the gene lock through potions, their talent will be worse than normal awakened people, just like Captain Yang!"

"His absorption time of energy crystals is two to three times that of normal awakened people, and even worse!"

Yang Yue nodded, probably having some understanding of the awakened, "Are there no exceptions for the awakened after tomorrow? Break the common sense!"

"Maybe! I don't know about these, anyway, I haven't heard of such people in the nearby gathering places."

“Because the cost of medicine is too high, many people may not be able to buy one even if they lose their money!”

"I heard that Captain Yang dared to venture into the wilderness city as an ordinary person in order to collect money for a potion!"

Yang Yue nodded, perhaps this kind of reckless approach may be unbelievable to some people.

It is obvious that you can be an ordinary person and live safely in the gathering place, why do you have to become an awakened person?
But Yang Yue can understand that some people don't want to live cowardly, even if there is only a little hope, they will move forward without fear of death!
Obviously, Yang Sen belongs to this category of people.

Looking at the middle-aged man who was absorbing the energy spar under the moonlight, a trace of admiration rose in his heart inexplicably.

"By the way! What is the Apocalypse you just mentioned?"

After Xiaoya heard Yang Yue's words, her face paled instantly, and she quickly covered his mouth.

"Bah bah bah! Apocalypse is nothing! They are the saviors of mankind! Gods of mankind!"

Yang Yue held the soft and boneless wrist, took Xiaoya's hand away from his mouth, and asked with a weird look:
"God? How could there be a god in this world!"

Xiaoya's face was slightly red, she gently broke away from Yang Yue's palm, and then said seriously: "I'm not joking!"

"The Apocalypse is the prophet of mankind! Without them, mankind might have perished! So they are gods! Only gods can have such great power!"

The corners of Yang Yue's eyes twitched, "Then have you seen the Apocalypse? That is what you call God?"

Xiaoya shook her head, "Of course I haven't seen it! I just heard about them!"

"I heard the old people in the gathering place say that decades ago, when mankind was at the critical moment of life and death, it was the Apocalypse who appeared in time and finally turned the tide and won the final pure land for mankind! It is also this way that mankind can continue to this day. !”

Yang Yue shook his head indifferently, "But that's just a rumor, and you haven't actually seen it, maybe what happened back then was just exaggerated!"

When Xiaoya heard this, she immediately became unhappy. Qiong wrinkled her nose and said angrily: "Anyway, don't talk about it casually in the future! Fortunately, it was me today! If it was someone else, you might have been beaten died!"

Yang Yue didn't want to argue with her, so he simply followed Xiaoya's wishes. Anyway, he had no interest in these so-called "gods".
