Fossil of Entropy

File number: Zero Record object: The only surviving product of the biological pioneer investigation plan Gene Template: Descending Virus Design function: adapt to various types of planetary environments and complete survival inspections After three cataclysms, the universe was in devastation. There are only thirty-seven surviving civilizations left. Zero slept in a culture tank for twenty-five years and was forcibly awakened. He can't stand, he can only crawl; he doesn't understand language, he can only record. There are two underlying instructions engraved in his body: survival, and collecting "rule embodiments" of different races. He meets Joe in the ruins. Joe taught him to talk, to stand, to hide himself, and then Joe died. He couldn't save Joe, and he couldn't save Joe's children. He drifted alone toward the stars. The body instinctively collects carbon-based, silicon-based, crystal, and energy-concentrating gene fragments - he doesn't know why he collects them, but the code is still running. He sneaked into the pirate base, defeated the general with shameless means, and was hunted down. His identity was exposed in the biotechnological civilization, his consciousness was erased, and he turned into an out-of-control piece of meat that swallowed everything. He was reborn in an out-of-control body, split into new bodies, and gained vague fragments of the truth about the universe. The signs of the Fourth Cataclysm are beginning to emerge. He gradually realized that he was just a container. The universe samples its own rules through him and then takes them back. No redemption, no meaning. There is only a cold and objective record, and an existence that has never really had a "self". Recording terminated.
