Fantasy Simulator Chapter 293: Possible Survivors

Chapter 293: Possible Survivors

"This…"
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man paused, not knowing what to say.
The scene had become like this in just an instant.
The boy was still standing there as if he had not noticed the situation behind him.
However, behind him, the Mutant Rats madly rushed at him, their eyes becoming bright scarlet and looking quite terrifying.
As they charged at Chen Heng, they opened their mouths, revealing their saw-like teeth.
However, a formless energy prevented them from getting close to Chen Heng.
The Divinities' power exploded out, covering Chen Heng's surroundings so that they could not make it to him.
When they were hit by the formless energy, they instantly died, turning into corpses.
As the Mutant Rat corpses formed large piles, the ones behind them did not seem to feel any fear and continued to rush up.
Hisses continuously sounded out, sounding quite chilling.
In response, Chen Heng only calmly glanced over before waving his hand.
Within his body, a Divinity gave off a brilliant light that covered the surroundings.
Behind Chen Heng, the Mutant Rats' corpses began to burn, and an acrid smell spread out.
Within the flames, the Mutant Rats struggled and cried out.
Chen Heng stood within the flames, looking like a mighty and noble god.
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man gave a bitter smile as he said, "Of course, the Mutant Rats that are nightmares to ordinary people are not much to our Protagonist. I'm sure that everyone can see our Protagonist's strength."
Protagonist was the title that the government had given Chen Heng, and in a sense, he represented humanity on the surface as their protagonist.
In a sense, he represented the hope of humanity's evolution.
Of course, the people underground were not too satisfied with this title.
For many incredibly passionate people, they were willing to call him the Savior.
In the end, this was not a big deal.
By now, many people had become numb towards Chen Heng's terrifying battle power.
No matter if it was the monstrous Mutant Rats or other terrifying things, in front of the Protagonist, they were like helpless rabbits that could not resist at all.
His power was so great that even the government's researchers could not believe it, but by now, everyone had become somewhat used to it.
It was said that some religious people thought him to be their god descended, and they were creating temples or churches to worship him.
From how the middle-aged man on the screen saw it, he did not believe in gods.
However, from a realistic point of view, a god appearing did not seem to be a bad thing.
This meant that humanity had some hope in evolving.
If they could work out that person's secret to becoming so powerful, perhaps all of humanity could wield this great power.
This would allow them to counterattack.
From another perspective, the appearance of this person also gave many people hope so that they no longer felt despair.
From this perspective, this was not a bad thing.
By now, the scene on the screen had once again changed.
After clearing out the mutated creatures behind him, Chen Heng continued forwards.
After many years, the surroundings were filled with plants. They looked quite chaotic and had long since covered the path.
However, even in such a chaotic environment, Chen Heng was able to find the route he wanted as he slowly headed forwards.
Soon, he arrived before a massive structure.
The doors of this building were locked and seemed quite secure.
Chen Heng had a look before taking out a key and preparing to open it.
This was a base where this body had lived in the past.
This base was this body's true home.
Back then, this body's father had gone out to search for some things, but he had not come back even after one or two months.
As such, this body had decided to head out of this safe place.
At first, he had just wanted to find his father, but he had not succeeded and instead fell into danger.
If it wasn't for Chen Heng descending, this body would have long since become that Corpse Person's lunch.
Just as Chen Heng was about to open the door, he suddenly paused.
There was a lock on the doors, but the lock was unlocked.
Seeing this, Chen Heng felt quite surprised.
Had someone come here after this body had left?
Was it another survivor?
At that moment, Chen Heng had many questions.
After a while, he opened the doors and stepped in, revealing what was within.
"From the scene before us, we can see some things," the middle-aged man said in the broadcast, "From the Protagonist taking out his key, he evidently has human intelligence. He knew to use the key to open the door as opposed to forcing it open.
"This is evidence of him still possessing intelligence. It seems that as the representative of humanity's evolution, he still possesses reason.
"However, something surprising happened: The lock had already been unlocked. From the Protagonist's actions and expression, he seems to have been very surprised about this."
The middle-aged man spoke seriously as he analyzed the situation, "So, could there be other survivors in there? Are they also like the Protagonist, having gained supernatural powers that suit the new world?
"Moreover, even though the Protagonist seems to possess reason, whether or not he still has humanity within him is something worth exploring. What will happen when he meets other survivors?"
That was the question that everyone in the world was focused on.
On the internet, many experts had presented theories about this.
If humans really did mutate because of their environment and gained great power, then due to the changes in their biological structures, their behavior and habits might also change.
After all, many of a human's actions stemmed from their bodily functions, so if a person's biological composition completely changed, it was possible that their actions would also change.
For example, there was very little difference between humans and apes, whether it was in terms of genes or biology.
However, just that small difference resulted in massive differences in how the two races acted.
From the performance of the Protagonist, his biological composition had most likely greatly changed, and he might be even more different to humans than apes now.
Would he still maintain his humanity after that?
Would he still think of himself as a human?
That was what everyone was concerned with right now.
