In the spring of 2523, an even more tragic war was fought, and after a new impenetrable "wall" built by the flames and giant shields, no more people were infected.

The victims have become blood-stained marks that have disappeared into the long river of history.

The survivors still have to carry on the legacy of the deceased, and they are staggering forward with the responsibility of continuing the race against the catastrophe.

In short, the humans completely stabilized their position, and then began to counterattack.

New disinfectants have been developed.

A new material of isolation gown was developed.

The fusion energy module has become smaller, more portable, and can be mounted on a motorcycle.

Little by little, people are pushing the territory of the quarantine zone occupied by bacteria to the distant coastline.

The healed who were infected with the virus and then barely cured equipped themselves with semi-mechanized bodies and joined the construction team.

The human defense line began to advance at a rate of several kilometers, ten kilometers or even tens of kilometers per day.

Although there are still people who will always fall on the way forward without a trace, those who come after him will inevitably take over the equipment he left behind and inherit his will at the same time.

The bright red area that represents the quarantine zone is less and less on the map.

The green safe zone, which belongs to humans, is beginning to increase little by little.

Three years have passed.

Winter 2525.

The Eurasian continent, the American continent, and the African continent have successively declared their "liberation."

Only Australia remains.

At the outset of the disaster, Australia, which was relatively sparsely populated, was unable to organise an effective resistance.

It has become a dead territory for humans, a paradise for animals and plants.

After a short respite, in the spring of 2526, after a short period of recuperation, humanity sent the first advance team of 100,000 people to form a huge flying fleet to launch a final onslaught against the S fungus.

Armageddon is on the verge of breaking out.

Billions of people are standing or sitting, holding hands, standing side by side in front of projectors, televisions, or looking down at their phones.

The picture shows the scene of the advance team slowly landing.

First, the engineering ship fires flames to remove and drive away the rats hiding beneath the ground below.

Whether it is a rat or other animal, they fled in a hurry under the heat of thousands of degrees.

The scorching lasted for more than three hours, and all the animals on the ground fled.

Of course, there is not a single rat left that is known for its alertness.

Immediately afterwards, the engineering ship stretched out its cantilever and began to construct a high-heat isolation zone and a magneto-dynamic field shield through external operations.

A day passed, and the advance team established the first base area that belonged to humanity again on the dead Australian continent.

The hospital ship took over the position of the engineering ship and began to spray into the air a high-efficiency sterilization and disinfection spray that had just been developed half a month ago.

Superbugs are always evolving, and many of the methods of disinfection that have been tried and tested in the past are losing their effectiveness.

Its resistance is getting better and better, the protein case is becoming more stable, the more difficult to destroy, and the more insidious it is when it enters the human body.

The size of the S bacteria has not changed much, but its DNA structure is becoming more and more complex.

However, humanity is not standing still, it is also moving forward.

The new spray worked well, and ten minutes later, the shipboard probe dispensed with the hospital ship and began to collect air from the outside environment.

After more than 20 minutes, no remnants of S bacteria were detected in the Petri dish, indicating that the concentration of S bacteria in this area had dropped to 0.

The clean-up was a great success.

Sprinkle a layer of organic powder on the surface of the soil that releases a "foul-smelling" powder that all mammals hate.

After another half a day, high-resolution geothermal imaging confirmed that there was not a single mammal with a constant temperature in the area.

Steady.

Since then, on the edge of the Australian continent on the world map, a green area representing a safe zone has appeared, covering a total area of nearly one square kilometer.

Human beings have established a bridgehead to blow the horn of counterattack on Australia, the last stronghold of the S fungus.

The engineering ship moved again, opened the supply silo, and began to pile materials on the ground.

These materials will be gradually used by people driving construction machinery, which can be used to create a second layer of safety cover on the ground.

Next, people will start to build a variety of functional buildings inside the safety cover, turning it into a base for research, housing, treatment, production, and other functions.

The engineer who was not wearing an isolation suit stepped on the suspension ladder and walked down the ground.

All mammals have been driven away, and under the shield of the magnetodynamic field, outside animals cannot approach for a short time, and there is no possibility of S bacteria in this area.

The flamboyant young man smiled proudly, "If the S fungus also has brains, it will blow up its lungs when it sees us standing in its base camp swaggering like this, right?" ”

"Shut your foul mouth and talk nonsense about something unlucky? Work! ”

The sophisticated middle-aged man rebuked him harshly.

The young man stuck out his tongue with an unprovoked expression.

Although the atmosphere is still tense, everything is moving forward in an orderly manner.

No one expected it to be achieved overnight, and everyone was mentally prepared for a long war of resistance.

Humanity firmly believes that the ultimate victory must be its own.

Everything seems to be going well.

More than 20 minutes passed, and the peace was suddenly broken.

The alarms in the hospital ship, engineering ship, and personnel transport ship sounded at the same time extremely suddenly.

All the people who were not wearing isolation gowns turned pale and were speechless.

"Why?"

"How is this possible!"

Everyone doesn't understand why this is exactly.

It's been seamless, but why is it still like this?

In an instant, both the advance team members who were still in the fleet and those who had landed all fell into the same despair.

Even the few people who wore airtight isolation suits were not at ease in their hearts.

This feeling of despair and panic can even be fully conveyed to everyone on the planet through live video.

But the panic lasted only ten minutes.

The middle-aged man who had reprimanded the young man suddenly said loudly.

"Do you remember the 626 manifesto?"

"Remember!" Everyone agreed in unison.

"So, cheer me up! We are the advance team! Are the advance team members afraid of death? I ask you are afraid of death? ”

"Don't be afraid!"

The middle-aged man nodded again, "Yes, we are not afraid of death." We were ready to sacrifice before we set off! Death is nothing but dust to dust, dust to dust! But we will pave the way for those who will follow! Job! Be sure to find out why! Fight to the death! ”

"Fight to the death!"

A day later, conclusions were drawn.

It was a snake that brought the S fungus back out of the ground and harmed everyone.

Chordates, subphylum Vertebrates, reptiles, bifora, subclass Snakes.

The Australian S fungus has evolved again, jumping from the rodent to the snake.

Premonitions of bad things began to spring up in people's minds.

The already infected daredevils have once again expanded their search and embarked on an unknown journey.

Another three days passed, and the final conclusions were in.

The S bacteria here in Australia have evolved to the next stage.

Its infection range jumps beyond the limits of rats and can infect all vertebrates!

It's too ruthless, really too ruthless.

The rate of evolution is simply outrageous.

No one knows exactly where the limit of the S bacteria is.

Maybe one day, it will be spared along with other species that are microorganisms?

Is there still a place for human beings?

Just thinking about that kind of scene is enough to make the scalps of the remaining eight billion people tingle.

Once again, humanity sprang into action, with all its might, trying to block the mouths of all rivers.

Bad news keeps coming.

It wasn't long before a snail was found to be infected.

The territory of the S fungus has expanded again.

Humanity is in almost complete despair.

The breath that hung in the heart almost dispersed.

However, things took a turn for the better half a year later, when all animals in Australia were infected for half a year, and it was found that the evolution of the S bacterium had stalled.

It hit a bottleneck.

It seems that it is not so easy to break out of the shackles of animals for S bacteria.

The sea has become a fragile barrier to protect human life.

Although there are still infected animals that carry the S bacteria to other continents through the coastline, the defenses that humans have built with all their might can barely stop them.

It's just that nearly two billion people have died in the past three years.

It has been suggested that it is time to blow up the Australian continent.

Completely destroy there, at least most of the S bacteria can be destroyed.

At this time, a scientist named Lai Wenming came forward, and he rejected the proposal to sink the Australian continent, and put forward another great conjecture.

The evolutionary ability of S bacteria is so strong that it completely defies scientific common sense.

But the rules of the universe are fair after all, and if you want to obtain the ability to transcend, you must pay the corresponding price.

Normal microbial mutation and evolution, no matter how slow, but as long as the total amount of organisms is large to a certain extent, the process of evolution should be eternal and stable throughout.

There should be no clear bottlenecks in the evolutionary process itself.

That should be a relatively smooth line, and this line representing evolution, if it is under the premise of infinite time, should be endless, without boundaries.

Evolution should be a never-ending process.

But the S bacteria are very different.

Although its evolution is rapid, it seems to be very deliberate every time, breaking through the boundaries within the family level of a species class.

Judging from the sampling situation, the S bacteria have never crossed two compendium families of the same level at the same time, and they all complete one first, and then quickly pounce on the other, like jumping steps, one bottleneck after another.

Its evolution is to leap frogs, one meal, one meal.

Therefore, the price of the S bacterium's super evolutionary ability is the bottleneck it must face when it evolves.

And there is an end to the bottleneck.

When the ability of the S bacteria reaches a certain limit, it will completely stop evolving and its DNA will stabilize.

At that time, as long as humans can capture the ultimate form of S bacteria before it spreads around the world, and based on its DNA that eventually stabilizes, it will be able to make an effective broad-spectrum vaccine!

Because we caught their emperor!

Capture the thief and capture the king first!

Lai Wenming believes that the limit of the S bacterium will inevitably appear at the moment when its carrier crosses the field of animals and enters the field of all eukaryotes.

Before it spreads, grab the ultimate form of the S Bacteria Poison King, dissect it, and make a vaccine!

And the place where the poison king was born, most likely, is the Australian continent!

If the Australian continent is blown up and the most active group of S germs is returned to the sea, then everything will become a dream.

Moreover, it is impossible to predict whether very large doses of nuclear radiation will lead to new drastic variations.

Completing his Lai Wenming's plan is the only chance for mankind to turn the tables and must be held tightly.

Of course, no one knows how much time is left for humanity.

Perhaps one day, the ultimate poison king will be born silently, and multiply, and can no longer be stopped.

"Gentlemen, charge."

"We must do all the work before the Poison King is born!"

"Counterattack!"

"Spread our detectors all over the continent!"

"There's no time to wait, anyway, wearing an isolation gown will sooner or later accidentally get tricked, and it will delay the efficiency of my work!"

"I'm not wearing a quarantine gown anymore! Too slow, too slow! ”

"Yes, there are not enough materials for isolation suits, leave it to scientists and medical personnel."

"When I die, my family will be proud of me."

"Report! The engineering ship C19915 refuses to be isolated! ”

"Approved. Wait for me. ”

The general mobilization order resounded through the starry sky of the solar system.

One fleet after another, laden with death squads, rose into the air and swooped down on the Australian continent.

Yes, it was possible to return, but no one set foot on the way home.

Because there is no guarantee that the returning ship will be stained with germs.

When they set out on the expedition, the warriors chose the path of no return and became martyrs.

Humanity began to sprinkle seeds of hope on the roads of Australia with a density of one probe per square kilometer.

Each seed represents the gradual extinguishment of the light of life of a bunch of volunteers.

Five years have passed.

In the past five years, hundreds of millions of volunteers have died on the Australian continent, and the population of other continents has also dropped by nearly 100 million.

Those who went to Australia were death squads.

Those who remained on the coastlines of other continents were also death squads.

A total of 7.61 million integrated large-scale detection probes have been established in Australia, and a large-scale research institute used to analyze and decipher the DNA structure of S bacteria can provide accurate data support for vaccine production.

In order to ensure accuracy and sensitivity, each probe is equivalent to a 30-story building, which is crammed with various precision instruments.

On average, more than 80 people were sacrificed for each probe built.

Millions of volunteers have died in the construction of large research institutes.

The vast majority of people have only two months left to live here.

There is no way.

There really aren't enough isolation gowns.

Even if you wear an isolation suit, you can only live a few months longer than if you don't wear it.

Fortunately, during these five years, the ultimate poisonous king S bacteria predicted by Lai Wenming was not born.

People began to wait in agony and anxiety.

Lai Wenming once again brought up another matter.

One research institute is not enough.

Because no one knows how far the Ultimate Poison King's diffusion ability will reach.

He wants to build at least twenty research institutes, each of which will be staffed by scientists.

As long as you find it, be sure to start deciphering it as soon as possible!

Because if humans can grab one more second, it is one second.

Humanity began to sink into bitter arguments, and in the end support for Lai's remarks prevailed.

The second great migration of no return began.

More volunteers are coming to Australia in droves.

These people go to build more research institutes, or in the strictly guarded research institutes, they begin to analyze and decipher intensively, and continue to accumulate experience and valuable data.

The institute has isolation measures, which are slightly safer than in the wild, but the S bacteria are really impossible to prevent, and accidents often occur, and then they are wiped out.

But after the annihilation, people did not panic, they still kept calm, repaired the loopholes, and used their short lives of two months to continue to accumulate knowledge with their sick bodies, trying to crack the characteristics of the drug king.

When everyone in this group was sacrificed, the research institute fell into a deep sleep, waiting for the successor to arrive, and start work again after comprehensive anti-virus.

In the past two years, a total of 20 research institutes have been completed across the Australian continent.

By this time, the total human population had fallen to four billion.

on the Australian continent.

Abandoned warships filled the valley.

The bones of the dead stained the mountain peaks white.

Only the detection probe and the indicator light of the research institute seem to shine forever and never go out.

The S bacteria still haven't evolved the ultimate poison king, but every time a new sample is tested, it can be found that its DNA sequence has undergone new changes, but no one knows when the quantitative change will lead to a qualitative change.

Humanity stopped building.

More and more experienced scientific researchers, medical workers, and new scientific research recruits and medical recruits who have grown up in recent years, old or young, male or female, have embarked on the journey again.

They lived in a tomb called the Institute.

They call themselves people in the tomb.

The occupations of the people in the tomb are simply and crudely divided into several types.

Scientists who interpret samples, hunters who go out to collect samples in isolation gowns, medical doctors who keep patients alive and mobile as much as possible, and laborers who are in charge of logistics.

Every day, every hour, someone will be infected by the pervasive S bacteria trying their best to get into the isolation suit.

Then the trapper will take off his isolation suit and travel lightly.

These people are called walkers.

People in other types of work will put on isolation suits, walk out of the research institute, and then take off their battle robes and become walkers.

Walkers walked or drove across the continent, monitoring every possible new infection vector.

On the final journey of the remaining two months of their lives, they often leave the base far, far away, singing songs before they die, while pulling the sealed chains of the body bags for themselves.

They sang Zhong Lei's "Self Burning" after rewriting the lyrics.

An unknown composer changed the rhythm of Xi Murong's "Out of the Stopper" and filled it into the rhythm of "Self Burning".

Please sing me a stopper

In that forgotten old language

Please call softly with a beautiful trill

The great rivers and mountains in my heart

It's a sight that can only be seen outside the Great Wall

Whoever said the tune of the stopper is too sad

If you don't like to listen

That's because

There is no desire for you in the song

And we always have to sing and sing

Like the grassland shining with golden light

Like the wind and sand whistling across the desert

Like the banks of the Yellow River

Next to Yin Mountain

Heroes ride strong

Riding a horse and returning home

……

Six years later.

A flocculent, flocculent, humus yeast that can swing in the wind and even cross oceans across continents has been discovered, located near the Melbourne site.

A nearby traveler collected the sample and drove back.

An array of twenty research institutes came into play.

This walker is only half a day away from the nearest Melbourne research institute.

After he left, space-based laser launchers swept wildly in place.

At the same time, more and more walkers roared their motors and came from afar.

They are not here to collect samples.

Their mission is to use the flamethrower on their body and the super-power filter exhaust fan on the car to kill as many ultimate poison kings as possible.

When their equipment energy is depleted, they will even take a deep breath and set themselves on fire with a burst of flame.

Lai Wenming, who has been criticized by countless people and only knows how to send others to death, but he is hiding in the rear, boarded a spaceship from the Siberian Research Base in the north of Asia and went straight to the Melbourne Research Institute.

As the only remaining Nobel Prize-level biologist in the world today, as the master of quantum biology and genetics, only Lai Wenming can decipher the mystery of the ultimate poison king S bacterium as quickly as possible when he goes to the front line in person.

Twenty days later, Lai Wenming sent the complete analysis data and the broad-spectrum vaccine genetic design plan back to other continents.

Before sending back the data, Lai Wenming had been the first to personally test the lab-made broad-spectrum vaccine, and cut off most of his liver five minutes later through genetic testing, which was negative.

He became the first human to have immunity to S-bacteria.

He laughed wildly, even ignoring the huge hole in his waist that was bleeding out.

Then he personally pressed the detonation button.

Start the countdown.

Thirty seconds later, 7.61 million probes across the continent and fusion bombs hidden under 20 research institutes will detonate at the same time, bursting into sun-like heat.

These fusion bombs are known as the last line of defense.

Before he died, Lai Wenming sent back an impassioned voice message.

"The fungus that carries the ultimate king fungus has spread across the Australian continent, and the nearby ocean has been polluted. The final line of defense can wipe out 95.12% of the king fungus, and it will take at least three months for the rest of the king fungus to spread all over the world. ”

"I've done the research and development of the vaccine, and it only takes two months for you to go from culture to mass production and meet the requirements of more than a billion people."

"Everyone else is hiding! Half a year later, all human beings will be able to have S bacteria immunity! ”

"I Lai Wenming, I didn't insult the name of my ancestors! You remember my Lai Wenming's name, remember my great-great-great...... Grandfather Ryan's name! He is the greatest scientist of the 21st century! And I'm second! Everyone else is bullshit! ”

"Humanity, victorious!"

Rumble......

The bright white sun fireworks lit up the sky of the earth.

The sun was overshadowed.

The earth trembled.

The thick dark clouds that have been hanging over humanity for decades have been torn apart by the brilliance of nuclear fusion.

The long-lost warm sunshine once again filled the land after the scorching white light and sweeping wind dissipated.

3.5 billion voices, singing "Self Burning" at the same time.

People laughed with tears and choked speechlessly.

The intense pathos, yet hopeful emotion, seems to have turned into substance, haunting the atmosphere above it.

Humanity has ushered in a new dawn.

Eight years later, a tower with the names of the fallen was erected from the top of Mount Everest, towering straight into the sky.

Tens of billions of names, each of them, is a piece of history.
