Mutants are the failed product of human mutation. On the day when animals mutated, humans all over the world also experienced the first mutation. Those who succeeded became the Transcendents of today, while the failures became mutants. Only those who initially showed no reaction are still ordinary humans.
The cause of the mutation is still unknown, and some speculate that it was a virus researched by a certain country that spread globally. Others suspect that it was an alien conspiracy, but various speculations abound and the truth remains unknown.
Since then, humans have retreated from their original cities and established new base cities elsewhere, while the ruins of the cities that were destroyed by war have become the home of mutants.
It is well known that mutants have no intelligence and will attack anything that appears in front of them, whether it is human or Mutant Beast. Nowadays, few mutants live in the wild, and most of them live in the ruins of cities. Human adventuring teams generally enter city ruins with great caution, fearing that they will provoke a large number of mutants.
Humans know more about Mutant Beasts, but mutants have always been overlooked. After all, the strongest mutant is only fourth-tier, and no one has ever seen a mutant above fifth-tier. This greatly reduces human's vigilance against mutants.
The interface Su Chen saw was the interface of a group of mutants. However, these mutants were gathered together, with a mutant standing in the middle, waving its hands and feet to express something. This scene made Su Chen suspect whether mutants had developed intelligence.
"Tanya, what do you think is going on here?"
"I think this may be a way for mutants to give speeches. Mutants can't speak, so they can only use body language as a substitute. This shows that mutants have developed intelligence."
Su Chen was somewhat incredulous. For decades, no one had ever seen mutants develop intelligence. Why did they suddenly develop intelligence now? Would humanity have another enemy besides Mutant Beasts in the future?
As for joining forces with mutants to fight Mutant Beasts, Su Chen thinks that no human would think of that. Mutants are not normal humans in any way. Some mutants look almost like zombies, and some even have enlarged or animalized body parts. It's just too weird. Trying to find someone who looks similar to a human in a group of mutants is as difficult as trying to find a tall person among a group of short people.
Unless it really comes to the point of genocide, Su Chen doesn't think that humans will ally with mutants.
Furthermore, looking at the interface on the radar, it seems that mutants are still unable to speak, only able to use body language. This may be an incredible thing for mutants.
Suddenly, an idea popped into Su Chen's mind: should he capture a mutant and study it?
Just as he had this thought, he saw a change in the interface of the mutants.
The mutant group made way for a passage, and then some mutants threw two things in front of the central mutant: a human and a Mutant Beast!
"What does this mean? Are they going to use humans and Mutant Beasts for sacrifice?" Su Chen squinted his eyes and continued to watch.
The central mutant approached the human, who seemed to have passed out, and slapped him awake. Su Chen could see that the awakened human was very panicked and kept shouting, but the radar could only transmit video, not sound.
Meanwhile, the Mutant Beast was also awakened, a fourth-tier Mutant Beast that was repeatedly pricked with needles. Several mutants rushed up to suppress it.
The central mutant stood between the human and the Mutant Beast, with its hands raised in a sacred expression, as if praying.
The surrounding mutants knelt down, and suddenly, the central mutant made a move, tearing the human's throat with its claws. Blood spurted out, and the person's eyes widened, making a hoarse groan.
At the same time, the central mutant made another move, also tearing the Mutant Beast's throat.
The blood of the human and the Mutant Beast flowed on the ground, and suddenly, Su Chen saw strange patterns appearing on the central mutant's body. The color was light blue, and the blood on the ground seemed to be controlled, all being absorbed into the central mutant's body.
There was a shock around, and the central mutant's size suddenly doubled. Even through the screen, Su Chen could see that this guy's strength had increased.
"What the hell, mutants can still become stronger ? Why have I never heard of this?" Su Chen blinked his eyes.
If he remembered correctly, the strongest mutants were only fourth-tier at most. Could it be that the central mutant had just become a fifth-tier mutant through this method?
"Interesting, mutants can improve their strength by killing a human and a Mutant Beast. So, mutants are enemies of both humans and Mutant Beasts?" Su Chen was surprised by this discovery.
It is currently winter, and humans rarely venture outside. However, mutants seem to be undeterred by the cold, and humans would not know about the current situation of mutants if Su Chen didn't have the radar.
The central mutant successfully ascended to fifth-tier, and Su Chen saw that it continued to use the same method to reach fifth-tier peak and then stopped, allowing other mutants to improve their strength.
Su Chen was surprised to see that these mutants had kept nearly a hundred humans in captivity, mostly ordinary people, but there were also a dozen Transcendents, all first or second-tier, with none exceeding third-tier.
After careful observation, Su Chen came to a conclusion: human strength doesn't matter, but Mutant Beasts must be strong, or it will affect the promotion effect.
"I don't know if these mutants are unique to this place or if all mutants in the world are . If it's the latter, then it's quite something."
