Or must she kill as Joshua slaughtered the people of Jericho? She knew the weakness of the human immune system. Years of radiation poisoning and biological wars had made them weak to the simplest virus. A flue and had been kept a secret . It had little effect on biotech mutants. She watched the reports of mass infections .. Her people's chimpanzee blood was immune. Had she murdered? Or was this the wrath of God? In the passage of time, the human race was extinct and the Biotech Cindy12 strain lived on. Who would judge them? ^ ^ V |
