Chapter 1: The End of the World Has Come
On October 10, 2029, the United States announced that former Nobel laureate in medicine Dr. Maggie Green had been sharpening his sword for 10 years to overcome cancer, inventing PTH4, and recruiting 30,000 volunteers around the world for clinical trials. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 INFO's Chief Scientist Maggie Green and her entire team closely monitored the entire process and announced that there would be a complete testing protocol.
On November 17, 2029, the month-long drug trial was announced, and all 30,000 cancer patients were cured and sent to hospitals in their respective countries for observation. With the initial success of the PTH4 trial, the world was in an uproar, and 1.6% of the world's cancer patients at that time were like seeing a ray of light in the dark, and strongly demanded that the United States start to fully market PTH4.
At the same time, Dr. Maggie Green spoke excitedly in a TV interview that the human world is about to enter a new era, yes, a new era.
Half a month later, something unexpected happened to people all over the world, and the 30,000 volunteers who participated in the drug experiment suddenly became seriously ill, with varying degrees of fever, vomiting, and violent tendencies, and even brain abnormalities. Several major countries, including China and Russia, jointly demanded that the United States release the composition of PTH4, and under pressure, Dr. Maggie Green released a report on the composition of PTH4 to China and other countries.
After receiving the report, the national medical research centers immediately engaged in research.
"How could it be, the ingredients of this potion turned out to be ...... How can this be good?" In a center in China, a gray-haired professor immediately recognized the ingredients of the drug after seeing the report, and immediately collapsed in his chair.
"Professor Wang, what exactly is this ingredient, do you see it?" asked several young doctors next to him in unison.
Seeing that Professor Wang's eyes had lost their brightness, and he kept muttering "It's over", and hearing the questions of several people, Professor Wang adjusted his emotions and said, "Do you know about the Athenian plague?" Seeing everyone nodding, Professor Wang continued: "The main ingredient of this PTH4 is the culprit of the Athenian plague, more than ninety percent of the people in the small city of Athens died in just a few days, and now, those 30,000 volunteers have spread all over the world......"
Yes, the main ingredient of the so-called PTH4 potion of Dr. Maggie Green directly led to the terrible plague that occurred in Athens in 430 BC, but no one knows what the Athenian plague was, and the records of that plague had already been destroyed in large numbers at that time, and only the ancient kingdom of Huaguo has sporadic records.
After Professor Wang handed over the results of the study to the Chinese leadership, the volunteers were immediately quarantined, no one knew what would happen next, and the government concealed the results from the public to prevent panic......
Yu Bai, an orphan, is 24 years old this year, and he learned to be self-reliant early after growing up in a welfare home and having no one to take care of him. He didn't know that he had just graduated from college and was facing the same problem that all college students have to face - finding a job. After seeing the report on the news about PTH4, Yubai also discussed it with others on the Internet, and he usually likes to watch American dramas such as The Walking Dead, and he also guessed if it would be the legendary zombie virus, but it only flashed such a thought, and he was busy looking for a job, and he didn't have time to take care of Naraushzi PTH4, after all, he has no terminal illness, and he doesn't have any relatives and friends, it's not that Yubai is too selfish and doesn't care about other cancer patients, it's just that this is the reality.
On Monday, December 24, 2029, Yubai woke up early as usual, washed up, had breakfast, and then went to look for work. Just as Yubai was about to go out, he suddenly heard an extremely long scream outside, and Yubai didn't care about it at first, but immediately there were more sounds, mixed with a sound of help. Yubai, where he now lives, is rented, and he lives on the 6th floor of a unit building, which is also the top floor, and he ran to the window, only to see a picture that frightened him very much.
A person, no, this doesn't look like a person anymore, I saw that he was actually burying his head in gnawing on a little boy, and a piece of something similar to an intestine was dragged out of his mouth, and a hole was faintly seen in the child's chest, and the person actually put his head into the child's chest, as if pulling some organ...... On the other side, an adult man was also knocked down by several people, but there was no sound between a few breaths, and then a few "people" also pounced, as if enjoying food.
After a while, Yubai reacted: "Zombies", that's right, those "people" can no longer be called people, that scene is extremely familiar to Yubai, he has seen it in many zombie movies, unconscious, has a strong desire for fresh flesh, but although Yubai has also thought about the end of the world, but he doesn't believe that there will be monsters like zombies in his bones. After all, Yubai grew up alone, and he didn't panic for too long when he encountered this kind of thing, so he immediately went to lock the security door, and then turned on the TV in the hope that there would be anything to discover.
No signal, no signal, no signal after changing several stations in a row. Finally, after Yubai was transferred to Huaguo Satellite TV, a voice came from the TV.
"There is a huge catastrophe that is breaking out collectively around the world, many humans are infected with a disease similar to rabies, biting people everywhere, survivors please stock up on food, wait for rescue, remember, the most important thing, don't be bitten" Just after this episode, the TV signal turned out to be out again.
At this time, the screams outside were still endless, and Yubai tried to call the police again, but there was only a busy sound on the phone. "It seems that you can only rely on yourself," Yu Bai thought.
Without stopping too long, Yubai first rummaged through the cabinets to find something to eat at home, muttering in his mouth: a packet of biscuits, two packets of potato chips, and a small packet of toffee...... Yubai, who has not found a job, has a lot of food in stock at home. The food lasts at most two days, and it also faces the most important problem - there is no water, the running water has stopped, and the elm has only a small glass of water left from the night before, which is simply not enough.
Yubai thought about it, now at this time the home must be the safest, after all, Huaguo is not like the United States and other countries, the houses are all reinforced concrete, the security measures of the house are still relatively good, Yubai lives on the 6th floor, and the zombies can only come in through the anti-theft door, if you need to face so many zombies outside, you will definitely not live long. But food and water were serious issues, and Yubai knew she had to act.
Yu Bai couldn't help but look at the supermarket downstairs, where there was a lot of water and food. Now at the beginning of the apocalypse, many timid people stay at home and dare not go out, believing that after a while, supermarkets like this will be looted long ago. Yu Bai found all the knives in the kitchen and picked up a kitchen knife, I don't know if this usually chopping knife can still deal with zombies.
Taking a deep breath, Yubai clenched the kitchen knife in his hand, and couldn't help but think of the new world, the new era that Dr. Maggie Green had depicted a few months ago, and Yubai couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, a new era.
"The end of the world, I am coming; A new era, I'm coming" Yubai finally opened the security door and went to the outside world after observing the outside through the cat's eye.
