Before you know it, the night has passed, the sun rises over the horizon, and the golden sunlight is full of hope, but there is silence in the ruined city, only the sound of the wind like Devil May Cry, and the beautiful sunrise, no one appreciates. In Raccoon City, some of the battlefield cameras have been damaged, and the rest have automatically switched back to normal mode from night vision mode, and in the morning light, the image transmitted by the cameras back to the Hexagram Command has become clear. Just then, a corporal at the Hexagram command noticed something unusual: the images from the camera showed that the bones left on the battlefield were missing.

As the officer on duty, the corporal immediately reported the anomaly to his superiors, and three minutes later, the anomaly was confirmed. On the battlefield, the remains of human beings turned into white bones, as if they had passed away for hundreds of years, and the remains of unknown creatures did not even have bones left.

In the six-pointed star command, the communications department, which is responsible for monitoring the battlefield camera information, immediately organized more than 20 people to play back the records of more than 200 battlefield cameras, and soon, they discovered an incredible scene: the corpse decomposes extremely fast, and it can be perceived by the naked eye, like a snowman that quickly melts in the sun. In less than 10 minutes, a corpse on the battlefield will all be liquidized, and finally, there will be no bones left.

What kind of saprophytic bacteria have such a strong ability to decompose? This was the first thought of most of the people present, and the staff officers and generals in command were dumbfounded.

The biology professor affirmed this idea, because there was no more plausible explanation for the rapid decomposition of corpses other than saprophytic bacteria. "Is there a red line outside camera?" The professor asked the crowd.

"What do you want a red line camera for?" A colonel asked.

"If the bacteria decompose the corpse so quickly, then, in a short period of time, a large amount of heat is released, and under infrared imaging, the picture appears red like a flame." The professor said eagerly, "If this is the case, it means that there is indeed a super saprophytic bacterium." ”

Hexagram's communications department verified that all cameras in the Raccoon battle were not infrared. However, in the infrared panning frequency band of the high-resolution satellite, the professor's speculation was confirmed. On the picture of infrared imaging of the battlefield, there are dots of fire. At first, the officer on duty thought that the "fire point" was a burning flame, because it was normal for the battlefield to have high-explosive and incendiary bombs thrown everywhere, and there were fire points and fire fields everywhere in the city. Soon, however, a comparison of satellite imagery with information recorded by the cameras led to the determination that some of the fire points in the satellite images were not actually fire points at all, as the professor said, they were infrared rays released when corpses decomposed rapidly, which were very similar to the infrared rays released by flames.

"What the hell is this?" In the command hall, one person finally scolded. The matter of "Cerberus" and "Giant Bat" has not been clarified, and now "superbugs" have appeared.

"They're ......," a government officer next to the professor whispered, leaning into the professor's ear, "can they even be broken down by a living person." ”

The professor wanted to say: "Of course this is impossible, as long as the immunity of a living person is normal, it is impossible to be attacked by bacteria." But, when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again. The professor hesitated - strange things happened one after another, and unconsciously, even he had doubts about his own experience and knowledge, he thought for a moment before whispering: "If the sergeant of the patrol car is still alive, it means that this saprophytic bacterium is temporarily harmless to living people. ”

Hearing the professor's answer, the questioner nodded slowly and breathed a long sigh of relief. The professor was worried that there were other people who also had such doubts, so he repeated what he had just said.

The crowd was silent for a while, and then someone spoke, "It's a good thing that it's harmless to the living, but since we can't even find the corpses of this creature on the battlefield, how can we conduct research to find out their weaknesses?" ”

Originally, it had been planned, and after the retreat of the unknown biological group, the Hexagram Command immediately sent a team of experts to the battlefield to collect some "Cerberus" corpses for study. As the professor said, if they all have the same DNA, then you can be sure that they were created and cloned, and not naturally bred organisms. With this information, it will be of great benefit to develop corresponding strategies and tactics for them in the near future, at least to make the direction of strategy and tactics clearer. But now, on the battlefield, even the corpse water has dried up, and no samples can be taken, so how can it be studied?

Moreover, why do human corpses have white bones left, but the corpses of "Cerberus" do not have even white bones left, do they have no bones, and if this is the case, then, at least, their hard shells will not be broken down so quickly?

All eyes were on the professor, and they had too many questions to ask.

Soon, the logistics staff had already delivered a simple breakfast. It was only then that the generals in the finger hall really felt that the long night had finally passed. Enough coffee has been drunk and can no longer be used as a substitute for sleep, and all those present now want to vomit at the sight of coffee.

Many of the attendees didn't eat breakfast and fell asleep on their desks. General Harden, who presided over the meeting, was also sleepy, and his eyes could not be opened, after all, he was not forgiving at his age, and he himself was already in his 50s, and his energy was not as good as it was back then. He lay back in his chair and sighed silently: "I hope it won't be a dark rainy night tonight." ”

As predicted by the thinkers of country A, the high-resolution satellite of country C also happened to be 400 kilometers above the ground, "inadvertently" "passing by" the sky over the city of raccoon, and recorded everything in detail.

At the time of the Raccoon incident, several commercial satellites were irradiated by strong lasers from the ground, and no light sensors were burned out. These commercial satellites come from various countries and have different models, but they all "go blind" when they "pass" over the raccoon. Among them, it also includes a commercial satellite of country C.

In a dialogue that followed a short period of time, diplomats from country A tactfully expressed regret over the "blindness" of one of country C's commercial satellites, explaining that country A had to do so in order to keep it secret from people, companies, and social groups outside of the military and political corruption. Of course, country C did not pursue the failure of these commercial satellites, after all, country A did not launch strong lasers on country C's military satellites, which can be regarded as showing a long-lost cooperative attitude.

Therefore, when the satellite of country C accidentally captured information about the raccoon incident, the diplomats of country C also made some preliminary communication with the diplomats of country A with approval, and promised to cooperate with country A to keep secrets that "we do not know" under certain circumstances.

A day after the Raccoon incident, Aya became one of the few people to know the secret, at the cost of being completely monitored and losing all privacy.

When Sima Aya was told by her superiors to let her go to a secret location, she was not mentally prepared, but her superiors told her that she needed to understand because it was related to the task she was performing.

When she learned that "they only hunt living humans", Sima Aya's heart immediately ignited hope, which means that they took Yang Yiyi maybe not to eat her, then, she may still be alive.

Although it is only a glimmer of hope, in her career as a criminal policeman, Sima Aya has also rescued hostages many times with a glimmer of hope.

At the time of the joint at that secret place, the connector once said to Sima Aya that at her age, in country C, it was time to get married and have children and live a normal life. If she chooses to quit at this time, she only needs to sign a confidentiality agreement and accept surveillance for a year, after which she can fully return to a normal life.

According to the customs of country C, Sima Aya's current age should have been the age when a woman was urged to marry and induce labor by her parents every day, so Sima Aya was not surprised by the suggestion made by the connector. What really makes her strange is that her parents are not like the standard parents of country C, thinking about arranging blind dates for themselves every day, they are more like the parents of country A are to their children, and they are very open-minded about Sima Aya's personal problems.

This really saved Sima Aya a lot of troubles - she didn't like men, at least, she never met what she liked. At present, she feels that she has a good impression of Zhao Zimu, but it can't be said that she likes it - but Yang Yiyi...... Thinking about it day and night, it's hard to give up.

Sima Aya knew that no matter 100 years ago or 100 years later, if someone knew that they had made such a decision, then he or she would probably not be able to understand it, or even think it was stupid. Moreover, no matter what era the mainstream culture is, love that cannot reproduce can always only be weird, abnormal, "enlightened", and "acceptable".

She knew that it was Yang Yiyi's soft body that made her sink deeper and deeper, and she knew that if one day, when she grew old, she might regret it......

However, all along, Sima Aya has always felt inexplicably that it is impossible for her to spend an ordinary and happy life.
