More than twenty years ago, war broke out.

The first nuclear bomb exploded in Europe, followed by Wanghai, and NATO declared war on pan-Asian cooperation. All of a sudden occurrence is that sudden, and although the economic crisis and the energy crisis are both predictable troubles, no one equates them with war.

Human civilization has been at peace for far too long, since the Cold War.

Like the rest of the Pan-Asian partnership, the resort, located in the Datun Mountains, received a war alert within an hour of the collapse of the Aegis system in Wanghai City. However, for resorts far from the city, it is almost impossible to rush to a shelter located in the city within an hour.

Despair befell everyone.

Faced with the doomed end, everyone was helpless, unable to do anything but cry and pray.

At that moment, a man stepped forward.

He claims to be an intelligence agent for pan-Asian cooperation, guarding the secrets of underground nuclear power facilities. As one of the strategic reserves, the Shimizu nuclear power plant is designed to be quasi-shelter-level, and although there is no storage of daily necessities, it is still not a problem to resist a nuclear attack.

“…… Then, under his leadership, people moved food, medicine, tents and other daily necessities from the entire resort into the Shimizu Nuclear Power Plant. Zhao Tianyu told the cause of the story.

"What does this have to do with that fog demon?" Jiang Chen asked.

After this an unbelief occurred. Zhao Tianyu shrugged his shoulders and continued, "You must have heard of genetic medicine. ”

"That's right. ”

"Some lucky people can unlock special abilities through guò gene potions, the more common ones are madness, rapid healing, visual enhancement, etc., and some special abilities even reach the category that nature cannot explain......"

"Like that fog demon?" Jiang Chen frowned, "...... I thought it was a xenomorph. ”

"No, he was a man, and he was a great man. Between duty and humanity, he made the right choice, but in the end, because of something, he was not forgiven by the people and was expelled by the survivors. Zhao Tianyu said with a smile.

"What unforgivable thing did he do?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Thirteen years ago, seawater pipelines that feed survivors of nuclear power plants went into mirelurks. They'd never seen any of these things before, and they were beaten and fled by a mirelurk that was fainting from hunger. Not only the deuterium refinery was lost, but also the workers' dormitories. In order to get rid of the mirelurks, he injected illegal drugs that did not have access to clinical trials, forcibly unlocked the hidden genetic code, drove away the mirelurks that were occupying the pipes, and destroyed their nests. ”

"Is there anything unforgivable about this?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"The unforgivable is to come. The illicit drug was not without side effects, and while the genetic code was unraveled, the drug also caused a mutation in his V127 gene. After a pause, Zhao Tianyu smiled, lowered his voice and continued, "The V127 gene mutant is also known as the cannibal gene. ”

"Did he eat people?" Jiang Chen was slightly moved.

"No, but do you think a group of cowardly people would allow a potential ogre to live next door to him? And in life, he did express his desire for human flesh and blood. Zhao Tianyu smiled a little cruelly.

At this point in the story, Jiang Chen can already guess most of what happened next.

The hero who originally saved everyone was expelled by the rescuers. Driven out of the nuclear power plant, disheartened, he faced the empty ruins alone, banished himself in the radioactive fallout, and became a true cannibal, hunting every human who broke into or tried to escape from it.

"That's all I know, if you want to know about him, you can ask Dr. Mike at the clinic that the illegal drug injected by the fog demon was configured. He is a Portuguese foreigner, but he speaks Chinese well and is very easy to get along with. Zhao Tianyu said with a smile.

"I will. Jiang Chen nodded and said.

"It's getting late, I'll arrange a room for you. ”

"I have to go down the mountain as much as I can, and there are people waiting for me at the bottom of the mountain. Jiang Chen shook his head and said.

"It's dangerous at night, if the fog demon is just a ghost during the day, then at night he's a ghost. Zhao Tianyu said seriously.

After all the pros and cons, Jiang Chen finally accepted his kindness. Although he couldn't communicate with the outside world via radio in the underground facility, he didn't need a radio connection with Lin Ling, but instead used a Crainn particle wave that could even travel through the timeline.

Coming to the room provided for him by Zhao Tianyu, Jiang Chen checked all corners of the room, and after confirming that there were no bugging devices or anything like that, he immediately got in touch with Lin Ling. As soon as the call was connected, Lin Ling's anxious face appeared in the holographic image.

"Where are you now? Why haven't you come down from the mountain yet?"

"I'm already in the nuclear power plant...... The situation on the mountain is a little weird, I can't explain it to you for a while, anyway, it's very dangerous here, don't come up yet. ”

Hearing that there was danger on the mountain, Lin Ling's little face immediately turned pale.

"Then, you won't be in danger in the mountains, right?"

"No, I'm more worried about you...... In this way, you and Chen Guangning will go back to the fortress first, and then I will go to you when I solve the problem here. ”

After explaining the matter, Jiang Chen turned off the holographic image to end the communication and walked out of the room.

……

Living underground all year round, the people here have not been exposed to sunlight for a long time, and the skin here is very white. However, this kind of whiteness is not only not beautiful, but also reveals an unhealthy pathology. Walking in the corridor of this underground residence, Jiang Chen noticed that the people around him were all looking at him with vigilant eyes.

There was curiosity and temptation in his eyes, but more often than not, distrust.

There was only one clinic in the entire Qingshui Nuclear Power Plant, and it didn't take much effort for Jiang Chen to find this place and meet that Mike.

As soon as he saw Jiang Chen, this Mike immediately recognized him from the outside from the color of his skin, and a trace of surprise couldn't help but appear on his face.

"I'm guessing you're not here to see a doctor. But before you ask me questions, I want to ask, how did you get here?"

Jiang Chen repeated the rhetoric he had used to Zhao Tianyu earlier.

After listening to his words, Mike nodded knowingly, put down the pen that had been turning in his hand, and said with a sigh.

"That's right...... Sure enough, not all hatred can subside over time. ”

"I felt it was more of a beast's instinct that drove him to act than hatred. ”

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, a hint of strangeness flashed in Mike's eyes, and an interested expression gradually appeared on his face.

"Oh, can you tell me more about it?"

Hearing Mike's words, Jiang Chen smiled helplessly.

Obviously, I was the one who came to inquire about the information, but how did I end up being the one who was questioned......

With patience, Jiang Chen selectively recounted the situation when he fought with the Fog Demon. After listening to his retelling, the expression on Mike's face gradually became solemn.

After a moment of silence, he spoke slowly.

"If I'm not mistaken, he should have unlocked the genetic code to the third stage. (To be continued.) )
