Volume 1 Unheard of Stars Chapter 18 The whole world is evolving, except for humans
A week ago, Mu Lei, Wang Mazi and Gu Xiaorou, who were separated from Jiang Luo, quickly caught up with one of the evacuated troops, and this one was also the last group to be evacuated. After the troops left the magic capital, they were separated and evacuated, and the first group quickly went to the Jiangnan theater from the nearest route, and the last group was a bit of a palace and reassuring people, because the personnel in this group were only some middle-class people, and the largest government official was a deputy mayor.
Mu Lei and the others followed the last of the large army and drove the car slowly, and as far as the eye could see, this huge migration convoy counted forward from him, densely lined up in several columns on the road, dark green military vehicles and tanks opened the way in front, and the residents who spontaneously followed behind from a distance. Due to the large number of evacuees, the pace of the troops had to be slowed down. The army kept order throughout the slow marching procession, and government officials came to comfort the people at regular intervals each day. But soon everyone found out the problem, because the route of the troops to evacuate was a deserted road, there were very few big cities around, many small villages were completely isolated, and it was impossible to provide enough food supply for the huge troops.
This is never a good thing! The sheer volume of people slowed down the entire procession. I don't know which brainless official sent the notice to the public, and even made the evacuation public, although he fired a spear and told the people that the troops were heading south, but the fact that the troops were withdrawn was exposed. If even the army abandons the city, the people below don't think much about it, can they not panic?
After unanimous deliberation at the top of the government, it was decided to go to Sioux City first, place a large number of followers in Sioux City, and then secretly escort the important personnel on the list to the Jiangnan Theater.
"However, the order from the headquarters is to go directly south!" Commander Chen, who was in the General Staff, retorted.
"Then what can Captain Chen do to solve the problem of eating for the masses? Problems have to be solved! Now is an extraordinary time, we have to know how to be flexible......" Vice Mayor Li said in an official tone, the secretary of the municipal party committee is not here, he is the biggest administrative official here.
As Vice Mayor Li spoke, a group of government officials below also began to respond, and they all agreed that they could go to Sioux City to rest first, and then go south.
"If you have to go your own way, I don't dare to guarantee your safety." Regiment Commander Chen said worriedly that along the way, they had lost contact with the theater command, and whether it was satellite communication or other radios, they had failed. If it weren't for the constant presence of scouts in front of them to send back messages over the intercom, a huge force would have been completely blinded.
"Comrade Chen, I don't like to listen to you talk like this. What is called single-mindedness, this is the best plan we have unanimously decided for the safety of the people! ”
Another director stepped forward, and the straightforward head Chen was really reluctant to deal with these government officials, and their way of speaking was often tiring.
"Alright then, let's go to Sioux City!"
Commander Chen gave orders to the people below, and soon the direction of the entire army began to adjust. Originally, it would not take more than an hour to get from the magic capital to Sioux City, but due to the huge flow of people, it took this large army a full day to reach the edge of Sioux City.
Sioux City, a beautiful garden city, still maintained that tranquility at this time, as if the apocalyptic disaster had nothing to do with it. The head of the regiment stationed in Sioux City sent someone to take a look at Gu Tuanzi, according to the news of the comer, the situation in Sioux City is very stable, the number of mutated monsters is not much, and most of the mutated monsters have been killed, and the order of Sioux City is gradually being restored.
Regiment Leader Chen breathed a sigh of relief, at least for now, going to Sioux City was not a daunting decision. In fact, he didn't understand, if it was just those monsters, the strength of a reinforced brigade in the magic capital, plus all kinds of security personnel and security personnel, at least more than 10,000 people, tanks, armored vehicles and all kinds of advanced weapons were on the battlefield, would it be impossible to deal with thousands of mutant monsters? But the order of the superior is so magical, there are only eight words on the urgent secret telegram: Evacuate quickly, evacuate quickly!
What exactly makes the people in the General Command so nervous? Captain Chen couldn't figure it out, except for those monsters that had turned into corpses, everything seemed peaceful......
Sioux City is still under military control, so the migratory army can only rest in place outside Sioux City tonight. In the following days, the three or four thousand people who followed them were evacuated to the city in batches. Feeling a sense of security, the people who were following the large group in their cars lit bonfires on the side of the road and gathered in groups to chat or rest.
Gu Xiaorou looked over along the way, and looked behind from time to time, Wang Mazi laughed at first that she was looking at her lover, but then she couldn't laugh anymore, and she felt a little sad inexplicably, he also hoped that someone in this world was worried about him, but his parents were long gone, and it was obviously impossible for him to be single.
After the troops arrived in Suzhou, they rested in place. Mu Lei, as a policeman, only got an order to stand by after reporting to his superiors, and he had to hold back when he wanted to report the monster situation to his superiors, and when he arrived in the Jiangnan Theater, there would naturally be a time for him to show it, and now it doesn't make sense with these officers who are obviously out of tune.
Gu Xiaorou leaned against the back of the car, staring blankly at the dark distance, and didn't know if Jiang Luo was okay, he should already be on his way, right? Although it was only a few days of contact, the man who seemed to be cowardly but was actually very principled had left an indelible impression on her heart.
"Hey, Xiaorou, why are you here alone in a daze, come, let's eat something!" An old man in good spirits took a baked potato and handed it to Gu Xiaorou. This old man's surname is Sun, he is a biologist, they met on the way, at that time, Gu Xiaorou saw that he was an old man who was very pitiful to stay on the side of the road in the wilderness because of a car breakdown, so he let him hitchhike and brought him to the army together.
"Ahh Thank you! Gu Xiaorou took the potatoes that were still hot, and she didn't doubt whether there was a problem with the food at all.
"Everyone is resting over there, and they are alone here in a daze, they must be homesick." Elder Sun smiled kindly.
"Old Sun, are you also alone?"
"I, ah, I am indeed alone, and my children are not around......"
"Elder Sun, do you know those man-eating monsters? They seem to have been made of the corpses of dead people, is there a zombie virus in the demon capital......" This is also the only explanation that Gu Xiaorou can think of, otherwise there is no reason for the entire army to abandon the city and retreat directly.
Expert Sun looked at Gu Xiaorou, who looked curious, as if he had seen his granddaughter, and explained kindly: "Xiaorou, let me tell you, those corpse monsters are not zombies, so don't be afraid, this is not the end of the world, it's just a relatively serious biological disaster!" I can tell you about those corpses......"
But in fact, as a person in the circle, Expert Sun naturally knows part of the truth, about the reason for the sudden and complete withdrawal of the army from the Demon Capital, it is very likely that it is because of something underground, after the night of fire and rain, he participated in a species survey of the Demon Capital, and found that all the creatures in the Demon Capital are developing in the direction of gigantic, multiplying rats and multiplying snakes...... The experts' initial speculation is that the stones of the fire rain have a similar effect to nuclear radiation, otherwise it would not be possible to explain the animals that gradually multiplied over the course of a few days, and the corpses that were burned to death by the fire rain.
According to Sun Expert's current discovery, there are at least three different types of corpse monsters.
The first type is ordinary corpse monsters, which are about the same size as normal humans, but their strength is unusually large, and it is initially believed that because living corpses do not have a human nervous system, they have no sense of pain, and the human body's own limiters are also opened. This is the same as the cases where the incredible potential of the corpse has exploded in a desperate situation, and these ghouls only have a high level of normal humans. The only way to deal with this kind of corpse monster is to destroy its spine and make it incapacitated, and headshots and neck chopping are the most effective methods. Expert Sun: They named this kind of corpse monster as the Strange Power Corpse.
The second type is the infected corpse, according to the two-meter-tall corpse provided by the police Mu Lei, this infected type is very terrifying, and it will infect a certain virus, causing humans who are contaminated with its flesh and blood to quickly decay and die, but it seems that it does not have the function of making people become the same kind, which is a great luck in misfortune. Moreover, it seems that this corpse monster has a very weak ability to act, and it does not eat human flesh like a monster corpse, Sun expert called it a polluted corpse, but the study of it was not thorough enough, because they were forced to embark on a retreat journey during the study.
The third category is the largest corpse monster and the most terrifying mutant corpse monster found so far. Sun expert called it the meat tan corpse, four meters tall body size, solid muscle mechanism, before Sun expert had seen a meat tan corpse monster impact the army scene, the general police firearms are basically ineffective against it, and it is not as easy to subdue as the monster power corpse, even if the headshot effect is not large, this kind of corpse monster has exceeded the scope of common sense, and the last corpse monster was completely stopped after being blasted into minced meat by a bazooka.
"Old Sun, are you talking about a tyrant?" Listening to Expert Sun's introduction, Gu Xiaorou asked.
"Tyrant? You mean the Meat Tan Necrosh? Have you ever encountered one? Sun Lao was shocked and lifted his glasses.
"Yes, we were blocked in the apartment by a tyrant and couldn't get out, but luckily it left....... It's really scary, you can get two floors when you stand up......"
"Then you are really lucky enough, you know, that kind of corpse monster, you need to dispatch a higher level of military weapons to eliminate it, the best way to encounter it is to flee into a narrow and strong place......" Expert Sun knows the horror of being a corpse monster who has become a tyrant by Gu Xiaorou, and it is a life of nine deaths when encountering it.
The two chatted until late at night and went back to rest, and the next day, Expert Sun took Mu Lei to find Gu Xiaorou, it turned out that he could enter Suzhou City in the first batch with his identity, he was very grateful to Gu Xiaorou and his party, and decided to take Gu Xiaorou and others into the city together.
"No need, Elder Sun, thank you for your kindness, but in fact, staying in the city or here is the same, I want to go in later." Gu Xiaorou rejected Expert Sun's kindness.
"Little Rou girl, you are stupid, that guy doesn't know that he has never come from here, and there is no way for you to wait!" Wang Mazi was a little tasteful.
Gu Xiaorou didn't speak, just shook her head.
"Well, I see what you mean. Call me if you have anything! Expert Sun handed Gu Xiaorou a business card, "Then do you want to go into the city with me?" ”
"Forget it, it's the same if you enter early and enter late, I'm still with Xiaorou girl, I don't worry about you alone!" Wang Mazi shook his head and looked at Mu Lei as he spoke.
Unexpectedly, Mu Lei was silent for a long time, but he said, "I want to enter the city with Sun Lao, you can do whatever you want." I promised Jiang Luo to take you to a safe place, there is basically no danger here. ”
"Angry guy!" Wang Mazi muttered.
"Okay!" Expert Sun sighed and turned to leave, while Mu Lei followed behind him, he actually didn't like this cold policeman very much, even though he was the one who provided the infected corpse monster research specimen.
On the fourth day after the refugees entered Sioux City in droves, a panicked message spread throughout Sioux City. The cause was a video that a guy received after his phone was powered on.
In the blurred picture, there is the Magic City TV Tower, which is familiar to the people of the whole country, and then the first and second tallest buildings...... The person who shot the video should be in a high-rise building, and then the picture turns to the direction of the Bund. But what is frightening is that at this time, the Bund was crowded with people, no, to be precise, it was a sea of corpses, dense corpses and black corpses rushed from the north side of the Huangpu River to the south bank, and then climbed the river embankment retroactively...... That's right, it's that scary! But the more terrible thing is still to come, the street by the Bund is pitch black, the video of the people close the picture, it is really numb, dense black dots are all giant rats the size of cats and dogs, at this time in the situation of covering the entire street towards the river embankment, their target is actually those corpses. Rats are eating people, no, eating corpses! The floating corpses and minced meat that washed ashore were eaten by the rats, and some of the giant rats even attacked the corpses. The once colorful Bund has been reduced to a battlefield of corpses and giant rats, with black blood overflowing and scraps of flesh flying, and the scene was once very disgusting.
At this time, people noticed that they had also encountered some mutated rats during the evacuation, and they thought it was just an example, but after this video appeared, it exploded all of a sudden, and everyone turned heads, and it turned out that most people had witnessed some mutated giant creatures, fierce rats the size of cats, wild cats the size of hunting dogs, and poisonous snakes with the thickness of a bowl...... One is more terrifying than the other, and even in the end, what some people say is almost like a myth.
"It is said that this is the case with biological genetic mutations caused by nuclear radiation."
"Nuclear radiation? Are we going to be monsters or deformities......"
"No wonder we want everyone to evacuate the magic capital quickly, could it be that some secret experiment leaked to cause ......?"
"I think it's more likely to be caused by the meteor shower, didn't those corpse monsters also appear at that time......"
The discussion became more and more intense, and all kinds of wild ideas emerged one after another, and these refugees from the magic capital quickly brought turmoil to Sioux City, which had already calmed down the situation, after entering Sioux City. Because Sioux City also seems to have some huge "creatures" infested recently, after being reminded by the people of the Demon City who are close at hand, the people of Sioux City feel that it seems that this place is not very safe, after all, the distance is so close.
And the silent attitude above the past few days has unconsciously intensified the panic of the whole people. The people's hearts are restless, and all the auxiliary police officers and soldiers under military control feel it.
At this time, in the office of the Supreme Command of Suzhou City, Regiment Commander Chen was being sprayed wildly by the commander of the garrison in Suzhou City, Commander Zhang, with an aggrieved face.
The reason is naturally that those uninvited guests from the Demon Capital actually brought great panic to Sioux City.
Regiment Leader Chen was also very helpless, but he could only silently endure the anger of the other party, after all, the other party was able to let them enter Sioux City to rest without an order from his superiors, which was already considered a benevolent and righteous exercise outside the law.
After spraying Regiment Commander Chen, Regiment Commander Zhang also fell into deep thought, he looked at the information just sent by his superiors, a strange news:
That terrible meteor shower has occurred all over the country and even the whole world (because there is no news from some countries and regions, so it is not confirmed), the places in the night hemisphere are fine, the day hemisphere is heavy casualties, and the countries on the other side of the ocean are said to be completely out of control in some states...... And the disaster brought by the meteor shower is not only this, but also the water source or other environment it polluted, resulting in the impact of nuclear radiation, which is why there are so many biological giants.
Contaminated water? Will humans ...... Obviously, for the time being, this "radiation" does not seem to have any effect on humans, and there are no cases of normal human mutations except for the changes made by those corpses burned by the fire rain......
The above requirement is that the local garrisons should do a good job of security and investigation as soon as possible, and report the biological mutations of each station.
Head Zhang slowly digested this huge amount of information, and at this moment, he was not glad that human beings would not be polluted, but felt as if human beings had been abandoned......
If gigantic is the survival of the fittest produced by organisms themselves in order to adapt to the environment, isn't human beings doomed to be eliminated?
A sentence suddenly popped into the head of Head Zhang, the whole world is evolving, well, except for humans!
He looked at the bewildered head Chen next to him, and was startled by his thoughts.
"Woe is not a one-way street, Lao Chen!"
Head Chen looked at Captain Zhang's violent expression in front of the computer, and his face was confused.
