Chapter 3: Cataclysm
The cataclysm, the greatest crisis in human history, is the crisis that has brought the entire human race into this new era.
Human beings are a race that yearns for peace but constantly spontaneously promotes war, because war will make human beings continue to evolve, evolve in science and technology, and evolve themselves.
April 22, 2067, a day that is remembered by all mankind.
On this day, one of the largest wars in the history of mankind broke out, commonly known as the Third World War.
Unlike the first two world wars, each of which took years to end, the Third World War lasted for a very short time.
Two months, in just two months, the Third World War ended.
Because of the deterrence of nuclear bombs? Because humanity doesn't want to destroy itself and destroy the planet? No, the fundamental reason why the Third World War ended quickly in an extremely short period of time was not these, but because of the stupidity of an island nation.
Biochemical viruses, commonly known as biological and chemical weapons, are regarded by the entire human race as a forbidden weapon of war comparable to a nuclear bomb, and the advent of any kind of biological and chemical weapons will be condemned by all mankind.
Yet, on the 42nd day of the war, an island nation used this taboo weapon in complete disregard of the condemnation of all mankind.
Science and technology is the greatest product in the history of human civilization, and its evolutionary speed is naturally unparalleled, in 2067, human science and technology has developed to a very developed point, and at the same time, a certain island country has secretly researched biological and chemical weapons underground for hundreds of years has also progressed to a point far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and even its power has exceeded the imagination of its developers.
And after the power of biological weapons reaches this point, there is only one consequence.
Out of control, completely out of control.
When the island nation did whatever it took to win the war, the mutation finally happened.
In the polluted environment of the earth, which has lasted for hundreds of years, the viruses developed by the mad scientists of the island country after several generations and hundreds of years have finally mutated and become no longer under human control.
These new uncontrolled viruses are known as AT viruses.
The horror of the AT virus is far beyond the imagination of its developers, who never imagined that they would create such a virus that could destroy almost everything.
Because the AT virus has a contagious surname, a terrifying infectious surname, air, water, food, almost everything that humans can come into contact with in this world can become the transmission channel of the AT virus.
A viral storm broke out.
Ten days, just ten days for the AT virus to sweep across the island.
At the same time, the major powers of the world, which are fighting like tea, have finally realized that something is wrong, because these AT viruses have swept the entire island country and spread to the world at an extremely terrifying speed along the ocean and atmosphere.
Naturally, by this time, the Third World War had to come to an end, and people began to think about how to defuse this terrible virus storm.
However, to the despair of people around the world, no country, including the most technologically advanced countries, has been able to come up with an effective way to stop the spread of these viruses in a short period of time.
An air of panic spread around the world in a matter of days.
With this breath of panic, the AT virus swept across the planet more than two months later.
The cataclysm began.
The purpose of the birth of the biochemical virus is to win the war, and the most effective means to win the war is to kill the enemy, that is to say, the purpose of the biochemical virus is to kill people, although the AT virus is the product of the biochemical virus after mutation, but the role of the original body is still inherited by it, it can still kill, but after the mutation, the killing method of the AT virus has changed from the rapid death of the original body to the slow death.
For two years, for two whole years, people lived under the shroud of this pervasive slow-killing virus, the AT-virus, which was also called the cataclysm of the great name by later generations.
The global population will be around 8.1 billion in 2067.
In 2069, the global population will be about 2.6 billion.
Yes, not all human beings have died under this unprecedented virus crisis, and there are still people among the human race who have survived, and only 2.6 billion of the more than 5.5 billion humans have died.
But what is it that keeps humanity alive?
Technology? No, it's human beings themselves, it's the innate survival instinct of human beings.
The people who survived this unprecedented cataclysm evolved.
Human beings were apes in ancient times, and evolved into humans after a long time, but the evolution of human beings stopped for some reason thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years ago, and under the stimulation of the cataclysm, the mysterious genes in the human body actually evolved again.
It is the evolution of these genes that has enabled some human beings to survive the terrible cataclysm, and human beings have finally defeated the terrifying virus created by them.
Moreover, the surviving humans are not only immune to the AT-virus that has long spread all over the world, but their bodies have also undergone undesirable changes.
As we all know, the human body has a limit, and this limit is not very high, but people who survive and evolve find that their physical fitness has somehow surpassed the previous limit.
In May 2069, according to statistics, the average physical fitness of all surviving humans is about twice as high as before.
This is a new humanity.
However, just as humanity was amazed by its re-evolution, something happened.
Humans can evolve under cataclysm, but what about beasts?
Don't forget that beasts are also species that have evolved step by step since ancient times, so they have evolved like humans under this terrible cataclysm, but people only forget their existence in the joy of their own evolution.
It wasn't until they stretched out their claws that people remembered that they weren't the only species on Earth that could evolve.
Before humans evolved, many beasts were several times more physically than humans, but what about after both evolved and evolved? The physical fitness of these beasts is still several times or more than that of humans.
However, the overlord of the earth is still the human race, because the human race has weapons, and with the help of the weapons, everyone is very confident that they can once again subdue and even exterminate these beasts.
But when the battle really began, those who took up arms realized that they were wrong.
The power of these evolved beasts is far beyond human imagination, and most of them are not afraid of guns, and the guns that humans are proud of are even difficult to kill a wild boar, let alone those creatures that are several times more powerful than wild boars.
Moreover, some beasts that have maintained their wild surnames all year round have evolved more than once under the cataclysm, and some have even evolved to the point where they are not afraid of missiles within two years.
It was only at this moment that people discovered one thing in horror, they were finally no longer the overlords of the earth.
Because there are so many beasts on the earth, that they cannot be counted by numbers, and God knows how many of these beasts are powerful creatures that have evolved several times.
However, the surviving people still do not intend to give up their identity as the overlord of the earth, because mankind still has the last hole card, the nuclear bomb.
But when the last fig leaf of the nuclear bomb is removed, what is left of humanity?
Nuclear bomb? The most terrifying thing about it is the nuclear radiation and not the explosive force, when most beasts can ignore the nuclear radiation, is the power of the nuclear bomb still there?
After the last fig leaf was removed, humanity took up the weapon in hand and engaged in a real war against the endless beasts of the earth.
The year is 2070, which is also the last year of the Common Era.
The end is 1 year.
After a year-long battle against the beasts, only 2 billion of the 2.6 billion humans remained, but the beasts on the earth did not decrease in the slightest, and at the same time, the living range of humans was reduced to one-fifth of the previous one, and most of them were occupied by beasts.
It is also the strength of the beasts that makes people see the coming of the end, so this year is called the first year of the end.
And this year is also an important year for the change of human civilization.
The Evolutionary, the well-deserved elite of the human race, the Evolutionary also appeared in this year.
What is an evolutionary, it is very simple, human beings who have evolved again on the basis of what have already evolved are qualified to be called evolutionaries, they are like beasts, and the genes in their bodies have undergone mysterious evolution again in the long-term battle, and they are extremely powerful.
Jumping more than ten meters and lifting thousands of pounds, all kinds of abilities that seem almost impossible to the new humans who have evolved, and are only written in novels appear in the bodies of evolutionaries, whose physical qualities are as powerful as superhumans to the point of outrageous.
With the emergence of these evolutionaries with superhuman powers, there was a glimmer of hope for the defeat of humanity that was about to be wiped out, and the war between humans and beasts began again.
Until this year.
The end is 127 years.
Of course, after 127 years of struggle, humanity has not regained its position as the overlord of the earth, but has only won a place to survive on land.
Because evolution has never stopped, whether it is the evolution of technology, the evolution of humans, or the evolution of beasts.
However, after these 127 years of struggle, some new civilizations have also emerged in mankind, which are powerful civilizations that only belong to evolutionaries who are born out of war.
Soldiers' battles and shootouts.
