Chapter 29 The Other Side of the Earth
"Judging from all the sample data collected, the physical function strength of the sample after the mutation exceeded that of the normal body before the mutation, with a maximum of 34.71% and a minimum of 4.02%. We not only used the sample to compare the data with normal people of the same age group, but we also sampled the data indicators of the sample before their death, and there were new discoveries after comparison. ”
General Shao's eyebrows jumped, waiting for Academician Qin's next words.
"At present, due to the limitation of the sample size of the survey, some of the data may not be authoritative enough, but it is more than enough as a reference." Academician Qin motioned to the assistant to open another document, and the assistant began to read: "He Dayong, age 32 years old, height 1.89 meters, weight 102KG, occupation is special police. We have obtained all the physical fitness test data and medical physical examination data of the sample before his death, and the test data after He Dayong's mutation shows that the mutation has caused a certain increase in the physical function of the sample, and the increase ratio index reached 28.77%, which is the second increase index in the sample sign of our research. ”
Cai Anna, aged 27 years old, a flight attendant of China Eastern Airlines, is 1.72 meters tall and weighs 54KG. The data of the sample before her death was not very sufficient, so we used the data of the same profession who was very close to her height and weight for comparison, and her increase index was 12.36%. ”
Jia Jianguo, aged 68 years old, is a high school Chinese teacher, with a height of 1.63 meters and a weight of 49KG. This sample had an increase of 4.02%, which was the lowest of all our survey samples. ”
"Ai Xiaoying, age 19 years old, female college student, height 1.57 meters, weight 45KG. The sample growth index was 14.99%. ”
……
General Shao listened quietly to the report of Academician Qin's assistant on the side, and his mind kept analyzing these data.
"The stronger the physical fitness before death, the greater the increase after mutation?" General Shao spoke his judgment.
Academician Qin nodded, agreeing with this conclusion.
"I need more samples," said Academician Qin, "preferably samples in the state of mutation." ”
"I try to figure it out."
"Well," Academician Qin also knew how difficult it was to realize this requirement, so he was not in a hurry.
"Where is the Chairman now?" Academician Qin suddenly asked.
"In a safe place", General Shao did not answer Academician Qin's question head-on.
"Tell me about the situation, I don't know anything about the outside world right now.
"It's terrible, we only have about 1.4 million of our compatriots left, the real figure should be a little higher, and the total population of the world is already less than 10 million."
For the first time in the past few days, the surrounding staff heard the situation outside, and a short sentence was like a basin of cold water poured over their heads in winter. Even the most pessimistic people did not think that humanity was so close to extinction before hearing this news.
The world's population has shrunk from 7 billion to less than 10 million in an instant, and I am afraid that the damage caused by a world-class war to mankind is less than one percent of this aberration.
"Combined with the data analysis shared by the United States, Britton Gran and Jeeplos, this anomaly led to the zombieization of more than 99% of the world's population within 24 hours. The process of mutation is random and without warning. And in the time that followed, more humans died or became infected by the mutant attacks. ”
"Oranker didn't share data with us?" Qin Lao asked that Ou Lanke, one of the five permanent members, was not mentioned by General Shao, and Qin Lao keenly felt that something might be wrong.
"Orrank's done."
……
The outside world is devastated.
The Washington District was in ruins, and apart from the occasional sporadic gunfire from the ruins, there was no life in sight of the city. Thanks to the gun policy, the population of the United States at this time was close to 3 million, which was twice the population of China. In many small and medium-sized cities and towns, the people of the United States gathered together and relied on various self-built fortifications to defend themselves and fight back.
More than a dozen planes took off from an airport in Warsanton, and the planes were boarded by some of the world's top American scientists, who had just arrived from a dozen different locations to work together on a scientific research project that would determine the fate of mankind.
Just as they were about to get off the plane, the crew received a new order from the president: all planes returned the same way.
Everyone didn't know why the president suddenly changed his plans, and Mario Capeggi sat in the window chair with his eyes looking out the window.
At an altitude of 10,000 meters, it was blue outside the window, and the clouds were floating underneath. Mario's underground bunker is located in Tampa, Florida, which is a port city. Tampa is located at the mouth of the Hillsborough River, bordering Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.
It is the second-largest city in Florida, and before the change, the Tampa metropolitan area had a population of about 3 million. Before Dr. Mario arrived in Washington, there were less than 15,000 people left, including about 2,000 military and police officers, who guarded the institute and several civilian settlements.
Research on zombies is still in its infancy, and Dr. Mario has already made some small breakthroughs. Like scientists in China, progress has been slow due to factors such as sample size. Dr. Mario is an excellent genetic biologist, and two Nobel Prizes in biology make him an exception in his field.
Dr. Mario's research is not limited to cells and viruses, but also in neurology
, taste, smell, and his best field of genetics, to dig deep into information and data. The Doctor had already felt that he was beginning to grasp some of the tiniest keys to the anomaly, and just as the spark of genius inspiration was about to burst out, the President's assembly order came down. Although the doctor was annoyed by the interruption of his research, he was eager to work with more scientists to break through the problem. Dr. Mario is well aware of the fact that one person is short, and ten are long.
Dr. Martin Linda, who was sitting next to Dr. Mario, was staring at the computer in front of him, his fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard. After cleverly bypassing several encrypted firewalls, a top-secret document was opened in front of my eyes.
Martin looked left and right to see that no one was noticing, and then elbowed Dr. Mario. The doctor withdrew his gaze from the window and turned his head to look at the computer screen.
"I see, no wonder the president ordered everyone to go back the way they came."
"Looks like Ollank is finished," Dr. Martin sighed with a look of pity.
Dr. Mario nodded, feeling mixed for a moment, worried about his old friend, Dr. Alim Louis Benabid.
The document that Dr. Martin secretly found came from the country's top-level information base, and there are currently no more than 50 people in the world who know about it. The source of the information came from an emergency telephone meeting of the five permanent heads of state of the United Nations in the early hours of yesterday morning, and a major accident occurred at the Quimper laboratory, where Orlanke had just gathered scientists from all over the country, and the cause of the accident was unknown, and the accident caused the laboratory to be cut off from communication with the outside world. Among the messages that came in, photographs and mutilated videos showed that the inside of the laboratory had suddenly erupted into mutations, the internal defenses had collapsed, and the situation inside had gotten out of control.
Anyone who knows the news knows that O'Ranker is dead in name. Like the Maginot Line a few decades ago, the Orlanks had a perfect plan at first, bringing together all the scientific forces in China to find a breakthrough in the mutation before the rest of the world. However, man is not as good as heaven, and the strong fortress always collapses inside. The accident at the Quimper laboratory discouraged the other P5 countries from putting their eggs in one basket, and the United States immediately sent scientists who had already arrived in Washington to return en masse.
At this time, the loss of scientific research power is a loss of hope for the country, and Ou Ranke has completely lost the ability to compete in the new world in this accident.
Every worldwide change means a redivision of territory resources, and whoever can seize the opportunity in the change will get the biggest piece of the cake. This catastrophe is devastating for humanity, but it is a new opportunity for survivors.
Dr. Martin waited for Mario to read the top-secret document before closing it, then disconnecting the computer from the network. The country's technology regulator has been hit hard by the disaster, and the technical strength in cyber security has been almost lost, which has also allowed people with top hacking skills like Dr. Martin to enter the government's central computer system without any problems.
