"Recycling old appliances: water heaters, air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, electric fans, ......"

Lin Yulin sat up from the bed, and the room was still dark. Only on the electronic alarm clock display, "December 20, 2120" emits a faint white light. She staggered, barefoot on the ground, barely able to stand still, her mind still confused with a high fever, but with an inexplicable familiarity with the room, she drew the curtains accurately.

"Uhhh

The light shines in, and due to being in the dark for a long time, the eyes can't adapt for a while, and the flowers are white.

After closing her eyes for a moment, she couldn't wait to open them.

The familiar husband and wife cheong fun stall is steaming hot; In front of the uncle in his forties, there are more than a dozen drawers of xiaolongbaozi; The soft white flour strips tumble in a pan of piping hot oil and swell to a golden brown.

The familiar scene in front of her made her unable to tell whether the tears she shed were due to excitement or a physiological reaction stimulated by the sun.

Now at this time, she remembered that she had just graduated from college for half a year, and had previously found this good job on the recommendation of an alumnus. She didn't want to go home at that time, she didn't want to go to graduate school, she just wanted to work and make money, and there was no better choice, so she dragged her luggage directly from the door of the university dormitory and came to this coastal city that was a three-hour flight trip from her hometown.

"Is it a dream......" Lin Yulin squinted slightly, but his eyes were a little sloppy. She remembered that she seemed to have a fever for a long time, and that she dreamed of many strange episodes during the fever, perhaps hallucinating.

In the dream, the time is three years later. She seems to be in a post-apocalyptic world. An unobserved UFO crashed into the North Pole and exploded horrifyingly, causing the Earth's sea level to rise by nearly 10 meters in a matter of days, rising temperatures, frequent tsunamis, and climate upheaval.

The result was a cataclysm that was helpless – the spread of fusion bacteria.

After the UFO explosion, the news first reported the mass death of birds, and within two days, apes also began to die of extinction, and humans also began to die of mass high fever.

Before they had time to adapt to the mutated climate environment, the bacteria underwent a terrible mutation, and a new fusion bacterium appeared, fusing a variety of gene fragments of super bacteria, which not only had a variety of pathogenic characteristics, but also had high drug resistance, and the existing antibiotics were basically ineffective.

Every day, the news reports take turns to broadcast the people in the hospital and the research institute, some gradually lose their expressions and depersonalize, some suddenly fear the sun and water, are full of aggression towards all animals, and some turn into vegetative people from their sleep. After confluent bacterial infection, it is mainly concentrated in the pineal gland, and various symptoms are different.

I don't know if it was a prank by God or the manipulation of an unknown organism in the universe, but after this cataclysm, humanity was lucky enough to survive one-half of them. A small percentage of the surviving human beings, after being infected with fused bacteria and experiencing an inexplicable high fever, acquired special abilities, and these people are called Aliens.

These Adepts were recruited by the major powers, adding another variable to the turbulent situation. This is not the beginning of a new era, as the living human race is still dying at a rate several times the rate of natural mortality, the birth rate has fallen sharply, and the total population has been negative for several years.

The disaster led to violent turmoil in all strata of society, and it took nearly half a year of chaos before the general environment gradually stabilized.

Since then, the leaders have recruited volunteers from all over the world in order to study the fusion bacteria and pay them well—to study the principle of bacterial balance and symbiosis, and to explore the mechanism of bacterial symbiosis and the method of controlling the stimulation of fusion bacteria.

It was also after a period of research that humans figured out that the supernatural beings were actually symbiotes fused with bacteria. When the ability awakens, it is the time when the symbiosis between humans and bacteria begins to be mutually beneficial.

The survival of ordinary people means that the fusion bacteria have not succeeded in symbiosis, and can only become spores and continue to lurk in the body, waiting for the opportunity, also known as transporters.

Those who died were more unlucky, and the fused bacteria adapted well to the upheaval and showed their great power, destroying the pineal gland of the infected and invading the brain at once.

Lin Yulin has special abilities, she can absorb solar energy and convert it into her own energy, and she won't feel hungry even if she doesn't eat. In other words, she became a "vegetative" who could move and talk.

This ability is very hidden, after all, some people just love to bask in the sun, and she didn't find any use for this ability, and the physical examination didn't even check it out, leading her to think that this ability was her own hallucination.

This is also the power of fusion bacteria, once the symbiosis is successful, it cannot be directly detected by the existing means on Earth. You can only infer whether you are a symbiote by whether you have an ability or not.

Thinking about this, Lin Yulin decided to test it. She stretched out her fingers, using her mind to control the energy surging towards them.

After a minute, my eyes turned black, and my finger was still the same finger, and there was no small ball of light in my dream. She told herself to be calm, maybe she was hungry, maybe she just woke up and didn't get enough sun?

It's Sunday, and she's decided to have a nice breakfast before she thinks about anything else. She picked up her phone and expertly lit a bucket.

As she waited, she rubbed her rumbling stomach and brushed her teeth as she reminisced about the dream for clues, controlling herself not to swallow the mint-flavored toothpaste.

After the fusion bacteria spread, Lin Yulin couldn't rush home in time, so when she arrived home, there were no more stranded living people in the Lin family, and her closest father had already died of illness.

Lin Yulin burned the bones of the sick and dead family members who had not been taken away and the old house where they had lived for many years to ashes, which was the most effective method known at the time to kill the fused bacteria, and never returned.

Later, Lin Yulin joined a drug discovery company to research specific antibiotics for fused bacteria.

As the days passed, Lin Yulin had to face the fusion bacteria every day, she had no time to take care of the pain of her loss, she was busy with the research institute all day long, and many of her former friends also lost contact.

Except for the initial spread, the power of the fusion bacteria diminished from north to south, and the countries of the southern hemisphere were not even affected much. People are gradually adjusting to the new life, as if everything is back to before the Great Diffusion.

Later, she met a man. In the institute, there are "volunteers" from all over the world. He is a "special volunteer" who has received special attention, and for some unknown reason, he was transferred from the headquarters in Shangjing.

This man is very good-looking. Thick eyebrows, narrow eyes, a handsome nose, slightly thin lips always with a little pale, a beard that looks a little soft always remains about the same length, black and curly hair, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, Sven is cold.

He likes to wear T-shirts, and each style of plain T-shirt has one black, one white and one gray.

He is not a talkative person and often spends his time in the observation room in a daze.

However, for the people at the institute, such silent and cooperative volunteers are the best.

His ability threat level is high and anomalous - if left unprotected, the experimenter will be infected with fusion bacteria - as if it were a giant bacterial petri dish, but he really can't find anything else special about him.
