Chapter 6 Extinction
At dawn on May 8, 2045, the blush in the east of the world still rose slowly as usual, but the peaceful city was not as quiet as before, the loud radio colors and the shrill whistle were filled with panicked crowds, and all the main roads connecting the city were blocked by swarming vehicles.
In the face of the fact that the facts are confirmed, the end is coming, the real reaction of human beings will completely surpass the previous moral framework, and 80% of human nature is basically vividly expressed, selfish, selfless, evil, good, etc., the part of human nature hidden in ordinary life is almost completely naked reflected at this moment, as if at this moment everyone has taken off the mask of human nature that has been burdened for a long time, and human emotions seem to have reached the peak of thousands of years in an instant.
The No. 8 helicopter was very smooth in rescuing Zhang Shaohua's family, and at this time it was approaching the air-raid shelter in S City with all its might, and a soldier on the plane looked at the four empty injections that had been injected on the ground and asked solemnly:
"Political commissar, if I really become a scorpion, will my mother still recognize me?"
"Poof..." Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud, patted the soldier's shoulder and said:
"It's okay, at least you all know what you'll look like in the future, you see I don't know what it will be in the future, but it shouldn't hurt after all," Ye Chen said and injected the nameless potion into his body.
As early as before going to W City, Zhang Shaohua took out the potion and let the soldiers choose, which one' Canglong's potion was deliberately engraved by him, one was to keep it secret for Yang Yang, and the other was that he just wanted to find a chance to see how Ye Chen chose, as he expected, when others flinched in the face of unknown things, Ye Chen decisively chose the unknown potion, and Zhang Shaohua himself chose the strengthening potion, of course, the reason why Ye Chen made a decisive choice was mainly because he didn't believe in being as divine as Zhang Shaohua said, and secondly, he thought that he had the responsibility to take on this choice.
"Mom, why do uncles give themselves injections?" A little boy next to him asked curiously (Zhang Shaohua's son Zhang Miao miao).
"Because uncles want to become Monkey King and protect you." Ye Chen said
"Then I also have to get injections, and I also have to protect my mother."
"Well, like a man, when you grow up, your uncle will definitely give you an injection."
Zhang Shaohua looked at his watch, it had been an hour and ten minutes since he received the notification, the sky outside had completely lit up, and the dawn sun was like a blood moon poking out of the mountain.
"The report... 500 meters ahead to reach the destination"
"Find a place to land quickly"
Ye Chen got up and opened the hatch and looked down at the same time, this look really surprised him, the entrance of the air-raid shelter between the mountains had already been occupied by a dense crowd, the army had withdrawn to the cave at some point, and the gate was completely closed, presumably it should be someone who did not have a pass who tried to force the card to cause the army to be forced to close the door.
Ye Chen: "Go down a little bit, give me the microphone"
Ye Chen: "The comrades inside quickly open the floodgates, I am Ye Chen, the chief of staff, the duty of our soldiers is to defend the people and defend the motherland, is it possible that you want to watch the people outside being blown up?" ”
Later, the door of the bomb shelter was slowly opened, and thousands of people outside the cave swarmed like zombies, and when the crowd entered the end, the helicopter finally found an open space.
Suddenly... There was a loud noise from the earth, as if it came from the depths of the ground, and then a blood-colored point of light appeared somewhere in the northern suburbs of S City, and then gradually lit up, this red light was as enchanting and mysterious as another sun at dawn, but that cold instantly soaked everyone's body, because they knew that it was not a warm sun, it was the demon's eye that was about to destroy everything, In just three seconds, the red point of light dozens of kilometers away had expanded into a giant red ball of light nearly a kilometer away.
"Land quickly", Zhang Shaohua hurriedly shouted, but it was too late.
In an instant, the whole city was dyed into a blood-colored capital by the bewitching red light, and all kinds of despair echoed over the city accompanied by terrifying and terrifying screams, and the whole city was like being in a demon cave, filled with a sense of terror and despair, and a few seconds later, the giant red ball of light suddenly burst, bursting out of a more vivid red energy body, infinitely derived from the surrounding area at a speed of thousands of meters per second, and only a few seconds later, S City was completely covered by red light, and all the creatures in the red light seemed to have entered a semi-forbidden state in an instant, Because their consciousness at this time is still clear, but the body has been completely uncontrolled, people are horrified to see everything happening in front of them but can do nothing, just a few seconds of tranquility for the human race at this moment is like time has been stopped, everyone quickly looks back on the past of their lives, looking back on the people they love the most, looking back on their unfinished dreams, looking back on all kinds of regrets....
After a few seconds, the red light finally dissipated, but then there was a scorching heat and fire waves, located in the center of the nuclear explosion almost instantly melted a large crater of several kilometers, any life within the range was almost wiped out in the blink of an eye, even the buildings and soil were completely dissolved, and then there was a strong nuclear radiation shock wave, like a ripple on the calm water surface stirred up by stones in milliseconds quickly spread to dozens of kilometers away, the ripples everywhere they went collapsed, and all the material became fragmented as if it had been decomposed, Whether it is plants, animals, humans or even those hard buildings, without exception, when the energy of the nuclear explosion expands to a diameter of nearly 100 kilometers, it seems that it has finally reached its peak, and then the third stage of divine punishment "comes" suddenly, the energy begins to return, the aperture begins to shrink, only a few seconds later, the nuclear explosion has returned S City to the dawn, and at the same time, the process of rapid energy return has almost extinguished all objects that have been burned at high temperatures again, and the bright and prosperous lights before have long been unrecognizable, leaving only wisps of green smoke and ruins, There is no noisy whistle in the streets, and the civilization that has been inherited by mankind for thousands of years is completely ended in just a few tens of seconds, but the end is often accompanied by a new beginning, and a new dark age will officially begin.
The other two nuclear weapons hidden in S City were triggered in the next few minutes, almost completely covering all the districts and counties of S City, and some areas were even covered by nuclear weapons three times, the radiation concentration can be imagined, in the days after the nuclear explosion, the temperature gradually dropped to before or even lower, the entire S City was like the apocalyptic ruins of the black and white world, the air was filled with all kinds of dust brought by the explosion and the smoke and dust left after the burning of buildings, the world was quiet and terrible, and there seemed to be no trace of biological activity in the quiet, Even a mouse is hard to see, those who are lucky enough to survive under various bunkers are afraid that the nuclear radiation outside will continue to hide silently, secretly praying all the time that the country can save them as soon as possible, and the remaining people who have not had time to find shelter at the time of the nuclear explosion are more or less penetrated by the biological mutation factors of the nuclear ray cuff, so that these people are still in a dormant state after a few days of nuclear explosion, because their life characteristics are still there, And their bodies are mutating in an extremely rapid way.
In the process of mutation, even the most primitive recessive gene mutation in the gene is stimulated, which can also be understood as part of the mutant mutation into atavistic mutation, and the specific atavism to a certain extent must be directly related to the degree of radiation of the gene, and it is precisely because of this rapid mutation that the body needs to spend a lot of energy to make its body complete the mutation, so the brain is forced to enter a dormant state.
In this way, the whole world after the nuclear explosion was silent for about 7 days, the colorless world gradually began to wake up, the first batch of creatures to wake up seemed to be less exposed to radiation, so their mutation process was relatively short, according to later statistics, most of the first batch of awakened human mutants were classified as 'alien', and animals were basically unified and listed as 'gluttonous taotie' whenever and wherever they woke up.
After 7 days of rapid mutation, these creatures basically have no previous appearance, or only a small part of the previous characteristics, but the brain of this kind of creature still maintains the previous memory, such as a mouse before, so after the mutation, it still thinks that it is still a mouse and has the same living habits as before, except for the change in appearance, and the irrepressible hunger, so it is impossible to judge the destination species before the mutant from the appearance alone, The second is that the energy required by the body is multiplied by the rapid fusion of body genes, causing these creatures to be frantically looking for everything that can be eaten as soon as they wake up, especially those animal mutants, the silent world seems to have been opened at once, and the terrifying monsters with strange looks begin to hunt and devour each other, although most of the humans who woke up at the beginning of the period have human memories, but they were soon infected by the monsters around them who bit each other. They don't even know what's going on at the moment, but in order to survive they have to start struggling, fleeing, resisting, eating, and the desire to survive is a naked interpretation of the bestiality of all things, including humans.
Human beings are very uncomfortable with the mutated body at the beginning, so they can't play it well in a short period of time, but the adaptability of animals far exceeds that of humans, and soon some of the mutated animals have been able to fly away and hunt other creatures they see with great flexibility, thus accelerating the evolution of their own bodies, and after more than ten days, more and more advanced mutants began to resurrect.
At this time, the surface of S City is still in ruins, but there are creepy screams from time to time under the ruins, which are terrible screams made by being swallowed alive and torn apart, after more than ten days of crazy devouring, some animal aliens have completed several evolutions, at this time their strength has far exceeded that of some aliens who have not found food at the same time, at this time, the body has begun to show signs of degeneration, and finally until the energy in the body is exhausted, it is completely unconscious. White bones', any creature will completely lose all consciousness once it is ossified, almost indistinguishable from the zombies of the walking dead, which forces humans to hide themselves in the ruins as much as possible to avoid being discovered by the occasional gluttony, and at the same time beware of being discovered by other human aliens, after all, the feeling of being so hungry that people go crazy will make people lose their minds, and while carefully looking for food, they also work together to hide themselves from being discovered by the outside world, even if they take every small step, they must observe the slightest changes around them, resulting in the entire S City as if it is a dead ruinAll living things under the ruins are like hungry ants tied to a biological chain, but they are like hungry hunters, and no one can be sure that they will not be hunted by other people or animals after being exposed.
After a few days of adaptation, human ingenuity has gradually begun to gain the upper hand in this survival game, from predators, to some racial aliens who have begun to travel in groups or form temporary alliances.
Because most of the people who wake up around them are people who knew each other before the mutation, but at the moment they are not together for friendship, but for survival, yes, just for survival, there may be a very small part of love or friendship or something like that, but very little, this relationship may also be only temporary, because when human beings are on the verge of death, you can't imagine how far a person's selfishness can go, the so-called love and friendship are just alternative emotions based on material foundations, When the material world completely collapses and faces survival, what is exposed is the most primitive and pure animal nature of human beings.
In the dimness, Ye Chen was awakened by a dull vibration, when he slowly opened his eyes in pain, the first thing that caught his eye was the burning wreckage of the helicopter in front of him, and he himself was leaning against the corner of the wall not far away, at this moment his body was completely covered by the collapsed debris above, only the head was exposed, but the surface had already been covered by thick dust, so it was difficult to find that there was a living person in the corner of the wall from the outside, except for the eyes that were still occasionally turning.
But the next moment he was a little bad, because not far in front of him there was a monster that made him feel creepy, the monster was extremely ugly, like a human but completely unhuman head, the bare body was covered with sharp horns of different sizes, a large mouth occupied eighty percent of the head, a blood-colored eye above the mouth watched everything around him vigilantly, and while scanning it, he pulled down a severely charred human corpse from the pilot's seat of the plane, After a few bites, the carbonized limbs and the bloody internal organs were eaten together, looking at the extremely bloody scene in front of him, Ye Chen only felt a burst of nausea, and after the monster finished eating, he picked up an iron rod placed beside him like a human and was about to turn around and leave, suddenly a huge black shadow swept by, and before the monster could react, a giant bat-like monster that swooped in the sky grabbed it and knocked it to the ground, and then the bloody mouth full of sharp teeth, In one bite, the humanoid monster's arm was torn down, and the iron rod in the monster's hand fell in response, and a burst of viscous red liquid suddenly splashed out of the arm junction, but suddenly the humanoid monster let out a painful wail, "Ah... Yes... Help me... Help..."Ye Chen only felt dizzy in his head, and he even suspected that he had heard it wrong, the sound made by the monster was clearly a human voice, just his appearance......
