"It's none of our business, she, she killed the guard!"

"She's a killer...she...she's a mutant...!"

The woman who was pinned to the ground let out a grunt in her throat as she said these words. She scratched and beat Ba Tianang's iron fist hard, but with her little strength, she couldn't shake it at all.

"Mutants?"

"You said that woman is a mutant?!" Hearing this, Ba Tianang's heart seemed to be pulled hard by something, and the strength in his hand relaxed.

To him, the word meant something else entirely.

Many people who have experienced wilderness travel know that the term mutant is not uncommon in the last days of human civilization—they refer to a type of physiologically mutated human beings.

Similar to mutant beasts, mutants also have different degrees of body mutation, so people today divide them into roughly five levels.

The lowest level of mutants is d-level. These people are often deformed and tall, with great strength, but not very smart minds. Such people are often regarded as the product of a bad luck curse, abandoned by their parents at birth.

However, the bodies of most low-level mutants decay quickly, and their lifespans are not even half that of ordinary people. Mutants who can survive to adulthood will be enslaved like livestock, and then die tragically due to various complications caused by physical defects.

The lifespan of c-level mutants is not much better. They have a certain amount of intelligence, and their physical fitness is also extremely amazing, but their senses and physical abilities are different from ordinary people. It may be that their brains are not affected by physical development, or very little, so the variation is mainly reflected in the internal organs of the body.

Further up, there are more powerful b-level and terrifying a-level mutants.

Their strength, speed, intelligence, and senses are all improved compared to ordinary humans. The more advanced mutants are, the more powerful they are, and the harder it is to detect the difference between them and ordinary humans.

The abilities of these advanced mutants are said to be quite terrifying, because they not only retain the intelligence level of humans, but also have different degrees of strengthening of physical functions, making their actual physical fitness far superior to ordinary people.

But the most frightening thing is those legendary-S-level mutants!

Not only are their abilities far superior to ordinary people, but they also have developed many unimaginable abilities. In some respects, they can no longer even be called human beings.

Once such people are discovered by ordinary people, they will definitely be expelled from the crowd at a very young age and live a life of isolation, because it is difficult for them to integrate into human beings. But the number of s-level mutants is extremely rare, and in the golden age of mutants, they are also rare.

In the pre-civilization era before the cataclysm, due to the highly developed science and technology such as medicine, biology and genetic engineering, human beings have a fairly thorough understanding of their own mutations. People at that time understood that variation can be divided into heritable variation and non-heritable variation—variation due to environmental factors, which is not heritable; variation due to changes in genetic material can be inherited.

Inheritable variation can be divided into two categories: gene mutation and gene recombination.

According to this statement, the emergence of mutant humans should fall into the category of non-heritable, because it represents a mutation caused by a change in certain environmental factors, just like the catastrophe that no one can escape.

It stands to reason that the lifespan of human beings is always limited. After a certain generation of individual mutations, the humans that really adapted to these mutations should basically become extinct with the passage of time.

But this is not the case, because after hundreds of years, people can always find the existence of special variants, and they seem to continue to reproduce.

Even in that era of highly advanced technology, this phenomenon cannot be fully explained, let alone the current decadent, dark, and hopeless doomsday era.

In this era, human civilization has regressed for thousands of years, and almost all scientific and technological achievements have disappeared. Therefore, it is impossible for people in this era to understand such profound things, and it is impossible to know the truth behind them.

Rumor has it that after the cataclysm a long time ago, mutant humans first appeared on the remaining land after the disaster. They were numerous in number, withstood the impact of the cataclysm, and survived tenaciously.

The people who survived the catastrophe changed into another appearance, becoming the epitome of an era, representing their past glory.

Therefore, that era can be called the golden age of mutated humans.

However, mutant humans cannot escape the fate of destruction after all.

To this day, the blood of human beings is still continuing, and the existence of mutants has become extremely rare. The human body seems to have been further adapted to this harsh environment through strong regulation of its own genes. Low-level mutations are still happening, but it is becoming more and more difficult to produce high-level s-level mutants, and even mutants above c-level rarely appear.

Over time, even the heaviest horrors fade.

However, whenever the wilderness caravan passes through the dilapidated streets and alleys piled up with yellow sand, where most of the buildings have completely become part of the desert, and the rest are only left with damaged foundations and broken column heads, people can still find the existence of some mutants .

For example, the desert hunter squad of the Hidden Sand Gang—they would occasionally encounter this terrifying mutant in a barren land far away from human habitation.

Although there are few high-level mutants, in order to cope with emergencies and increase the chance of survival, the wild hunter team will also recruit some low-level mutants with strange powers to join their hunting team to fight against unknown existences.

After all, the strength advantages of these low-level mutants are quite obvious. As long as they are willing to pay some food and water as the price, these freaks can be made to obey them. This is much less loss than being attacked by barbaric scattered people.

When Ba Tianang and the others heard the "mutant", they glanced at each other in unison, and then shock appeared on their faces!

According to this woman, if the killer is a mutant, then he must have high intelligence and ability~ lightnovelpub.net~ at least a guy above C level.

"Tell me, what level of mutant is that woman?" Luo Renjie took a step forward and asked.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...she's gone like a ghost...never come back..."

The muddy woman is almost driven crazy!

She murmured indistinctly, weeping in pain, and kept inserting her fingers into the soil, as if she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself.

"Like a ghost?"

Seeing that he couldn't ask any questions, Ba Tianang walked towards the crowd with an angry face.

A dark-skinned, skinny person couldn't resist at all, and he pulled out his eyes eagerly.

"you!"

Ba Tianang waved the **** dagger in his hand, and asked viciously, "Tell me the truth, where did that woman go?"
