As one of the most primitive mammals in existence, rats are no strangers to any of us. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info rats are vigorous, numerous, and reproduce very quickly, and have strong adaptability, eat almost anything, and can live anywhere. Before the advent of humans, rats lived on Earth for more than 47 million years.

The study found that 99% of the bone structure of mice and humans is the same, and if the mouse is scaled up and stretched, the skeletal structure of mice is almost no different from that of humans, except for the face, feet and tail. In addition, pathologically, mouse and human bone cells also have a lot in common.

In addition, British and American scientists have concluded through research that the length of the genetic code chain in mice is almost the same as that of humans. Mice have 2.5 billion pairs of nucleotides, slightly less than the 2.9 billion pairs of nucleotides in humans. 80% of humans are genetically identical to mice, and 99% of humans are genetically very similar to mice. All of these indicators were not met by monkeys that were closer to humans in appearance.

The reason why most laboratories use mice as the research object of human-related diseases and agents is precisely because of the extremely high similarity between mice and humans. In addition, rats are more intelligent than we can imagine, and their intellectual maturity seems to be comparable to ours. Rats are intelligent, mysterious, almost human-like.

If there are the largest number of mammals living on Earth, rats should be the number one. You must know that in the face of the Origin Energy, the chances of awakening are all equal. In comparison, rats, whose populations are nearly ten times larger than humans, can definitely be said to be the enemy of humans.

At the same time as humanity embarks on a frenzied awakening tide, the rats who stay in the shadows of the world also begin their own awakening path. More than 20 years ago, there were reports around the world of giant rats mutated by nuclear radiation and chemical contamination. More than 20 years have passed, but these giant rats have not been completely eradicated.

These giant rats all weigh more than four or five kilograms, and are the same size as domestic cats, and no one knows what kind of monsters will appear once they awaken. What's even more terrifying is not the giant rats, but the potential intelligence that the rats may have. In the age of the gods, humans were not the only intelligent species on earth.

The greatest impact of the Age of the Gods on mankind was not the drastic changes in the environment, not the emergence of supernatural powers, but the fall of mankind from the unique throne of the spirit of all things. The emergence of a large population of intelligent organisms is the first major crisis that mankind has to face, but in a sense, it is also a great opportunity for mankind.

For the first catastrophe at the beginning of the Age of the Gods, the "Chronicle of the Gods" still has a fairly detailed record. The catastrophe, known as the Plague of Rats in later generations, made humans and rats forever enemies of life and death. This battle continued until the emergence of the human gods, and the rodents, which had not been extinct for tens of millions of years, were instantly wiped out under the pressure of the gods.

For this doomed disaster, human beings still attach great importance to it. In the Chernobyl region, where the disaster originated, a large number of human forces have been assembled through the brazen vision of multinational exercises. The armies marching to the war zone carried large quantities of heavy weapons, including some taboo weapons of mass destruction.

Of course, there are two types of weapons that are strictly prohibited. One is nuclear weapons, the mutation-inducing effect of nuclear radiation is far greater than its lethality, and no one wants to deal with the kind of awakened rats that mutate multiple times; The other is chemical weapons, which are similar to nuclear weapons, and all factors that may induce rat mutation cannot appear on the battlefield.

Again, there is no specific time, and the exact time of the outbreak of the Rat Plague is not mentioned in the Chronicle of the Gods, but no one dares to ignore it. The absence of a specific time does not mean that there is no means, and a long-term presence in such a force is not much of an exertion.

In fact, the rat plague broke out much earlier than humans expected. Small individuals awaken much faster than large individuals, and even if they are giant rats, they are still not as large as humans. Suffice it to say, there are far more awakened people among rats than humans.

The awakening of animals is generally more thorough than that of humans, more in line with biological instincts, and more aggressive. Sometimes mere text is not enough to convey everything, and the Chronicle of the Gods does not convey much detail about what happened to the rats.

When a giant wolf-like rat appeared in front of humans, everyone's first reaction was shock, and the second reaction was to rejoice. If these crazy rats are allowed to roam freely in the city and the countryside, no one knows what kind of harm will be done.

Fortunately, it is already prepared, even if it is really a group of giant wolves, I believe that it will not be able to withstand the fierce attack of guns. Mine arrays, barbed wire, horse stakes, automatic machine-gun arrays, all sorts of defenses have been laid out all over Chernobyl, waiting for the swarms of rats to appear.

In addition to Chernobyl, there are several possible rat-infested areas in the world, which are also tightly arranged. However, compared to the remote and closed Chernobyl, there are other places that are relatively close to human settlements, and it is easy to have problems.

Either way, humanity has reached the limits of what it thinks it can do. At the beginning of the Age of the Gods, there were many great upheavals on Earth, and they are all clearly recorded in the Chronicle of the Gods. It is precisely for this reason that the human front is very loosely drawn.

African savannah, South American rainforest, bottomless Pacific ...... During the Age of the Gods, many areas of the earth that were originally inaccessible to humans completely became forbidden places for humans. Large numbers of human forces have been forced to garrison the perimeter of these areas, guarding against possible unrest.

Although the plague of mad rats was terrible, it was completely ended by humans. But the forbidden places mentioned before, even in the late Age of the Gods, still stood there, and even the gods of the human race did not dare to touch it easily. Compared with humans with a high degree of evolution, animals undoubtedly retain more ancient bloodline genes, and they are even more terrifying after awakening.

Even though many animals have awakened to the wisdom of humans, they even call themselves demon clans. Although there is emotion and wisdom, the temptation of the Origin Energy still surpasses all else. In ancient times, there were legends of demons and monsters devouring humans, but in the age of the gods, everything has become a reality.
