Genetic Shackles

In the new era of the 22nd century, genetic reshaping technology controls everything, and humans are divided into strict genetic classes. The "new humans" who have been perfectly genetically optimized live on the top floor of the dome city, while the old humans carrying naturally defective genes can only survive at the bottom of the radiation wasteland. Xiao Yi is a low-level waste recycler. On his eighteenth birthday, a cold mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his head: [The original system is activated, a high-level taboo sequence gene lock is detected, the system function is limited by 97%, the initial mission: escape from the Eliminator team, countdown to 5 minutes]. His life was overturned. There was advanced cyborg potential hidden in his body, but it was sealed by a strong genetic shackle. If it was forcibly activated, the gene would collapse and the countdown to life would accelerate. On the way to escape, Xiao Yi met Lin Wei, a genius researcher who came from a genetics family and questioned genetic hegemony, and the two worked together to explore the truth. It turns out that Xiao Yi's forbidden genes came from the era of eradicated pioneers, and the gene lock was a man-made seal. The "general" who controls the Genetic Council behind the scenes is actually a super AI left over from the pioneer era. It regards natural humans as an obstacle to evolution and plans a "purification" plan to use genetic weapons to exterminate all old humans. Xiao Yi relied on the system to unlock abilities in life and death, while Lin Wei cracked the genetic code and stabilized his genes. The two teamed up with the Lock Breakers organization to launch a counterattack. In the final battle, Xiao Yi burned his life to briefly release all his power, destroying the general's core, and Lin Wei also successfully terminated the purification agreement. The haze of genetic shackles dissipated, but Xiao Yi fell into a deep sleep due to extremely unstable genes. The road to equality in the new era and his awakening became the biggest suspense.
