181 - Dead City
The more Han Biao looked, the more surprised he became, there was not a single survivor on the outer defense line of the entire Tahitian gathering area, and there were not even a few corpses in sight, only in some relatively closed spaces, such as vehicles, sealed cabins, or bunkers and the like, could you see a few swollen pus corpses.
There were no traces of fierce battles around, no corpses on the ground, no craters left by the explosion, no stumps and broken arms, insect shells and insect beetles left behind after the death of insects, and all kinds of materials, weapons and vehicles were also well preserved, but they were abandoned everywhere, as if all the survivors had abandoned all their supplies and evacuated here empty-handed.
This situation is similar to some strange things that Han Biao saw when he was surfing the Internet before, such as the villagers of a certain village disappeared overnight, maybe they were captured by aliens, or maybe the villagers made an appointment to play performance art collectively and have a flash mob or something.
But the current situation makes Han Biao strangely confused, the survivors who have experienced the insect tide riot will not be bored to play flash mobs at this time, right? Captured by aliens? Interstellar humans are aliens in their own right?
If you want to say that they are all in the battle with the mutant insects, it is not like the survivors have been eaten, there are no traces of fierce battles on the scene, there are no human corpse remains, and there are no insect corpses, if you want to eat it, there must be some bone slag, stumps and broken arms left, right? But there was nothing.
Evacuate en masse after receiving an order? But if you evacuate, you won't throw away the supplies, right? It is important to know that the Tahiti agglomeration area is close to the polar day area, the light is strong, the animals and plants grow luxuriantly, the resource points are dense, the reserves are huge, and the conditions and environment are much stronger than the ecological circle base located in the twilight area, so it is basically an area where the bases above the C level gather.
According to the standard population of 1 million for D-level bases, 5 million for C-level bases, 20 million for B-level bases, and 100 million standard populations for A-level bases, the actual population will often exceed the capacity by several times.
Therefore, it is estimated that the number of survivors of several C-class bases near the Grand Canyon will not be less than 40 million, and the Tahiti agglomeration area alone will exceed 20 million, so calculated, the materials needed by such a population will be an astronomical amount, even if it has been upgraded to the standard of A-class bases, and the order has basically returned to normal, the development and construction even exceed that of Dusk City before the insect tide riot, and I dare not say that the materials are surplus to the point that they can be abandoned at will.
Yasha from the exploration force sent a communication to inquire about the situation, and Han Biao informed them to be stationed on the spot and prepare for defense, the situation was very likely not right, and then they went to the Tahiti gathering area alone.
The gathering area built in Tahiti and the Grand Canyon, the environment is much stronger than the original D.87 in the Great Wilderness, pure groundwater resources, wetlands and forests rich in natural resources, theoretically speaking, it should give birth to a huge natural biological system, but not only is there no human here, it seems that even the creatures in the wetlands and forests have disappeared, not to mention mutant insects, even ordinary small insects, earthworms in the soil.
Along the Grand Canyon all the way upstream to find the past, Han Biao saw a large number of small-scale gathering points, all of which retained intact traces of human existence, this is because of the topography of the Grand Canyon and Tahiti, it is impossible to build a large-scale gathering area like the Great Wilderness, and it is impossible to retain one or two satellite bases like D.87, so it can only build dense small-scale gathering points as much as possible in the Grand Canyon to form a community that echoes each other from afar.
However, in these gathering points, there is no one in the outer defense line, but the materials are very well preserved, and even some energy supply equipment is still operating, providing energy for various automatic equipment.
Han Biao saw that there were still several biovitics and nutrients on the table in a gathering point, some were bitten, and some were half drunk, as if a table of people had eaten halfway through a meal, and suddenly put down the food and got up and left.
Dead City, this place has become an empty dead city, the strange atmosphere in the air makes Han Biao's back wet, and he can't help but mutter: "The maids, have they really been captured by aliens?" ”
Han Biao, who couldn't help but feel suffocated, turned on the external respirator and wanted to breathe some fresh air, but as soon as he inhaled the first breath of air, he almost vomited!
Stinking!
Stench!
A suffocating stench!
Han Biao, who almost vomited, used a lot of willpower to swallow the sour water that gushed into his throat again, he would be wearing a helmet, if he vomited a helmet, he would still have to feel uncomfortable, the main problem is, if he wants to vomit, what do you say he took off? Or don't you take it off?
Besides, the blade armor on his body was formed after the blade was born, although it looked like metal, but it was actually the dark silver metal carapace of the blade, which was the product of fusing the Thunderbolt Vulture armor, and his helmet was actually the blade's braincase, spitting out a bag of leftovers into the blade's braincase, Han Biao estimated that he hadn't died of disgust, and the blade collapsed first.
It took a long time for Han Biao to suppress the nausea churning between his chest and abdomen, and felt that his stomach was abnormally uncomfortable, Han Biao rested on the spot for a while, and then dared to ask Qianshou: "Can you analyze the composition of the air?" ”
“… Corpse stench, very strong corpse stench! "As a lifeform without a sense of smell, Qian Shou is much more than Han Biao, the only pitiful thing is the blade, but the mutant insect should not be afraid of smell.
"Can you find the source of the corpse stench?" Han Biao was strange, since there was no one, how could there be such a strong corpse smell?
Qian Shou didn't answer, but Han Biao's digital vision showed a virtual arrow, Han Biao followed the direction pointed by the arrow, and quickly ran towards the location of the source of the corpse smell, as he gradually went deeper into the Grand Canyon, the terrain became strange, the deepest place in the Grand Canyon gradually began to extend underground, a huge natural karst cave went deep into the ground I don't know how deep, Han Biao stopped at the mouth of the cave, and looked at the terrible scene in front of him with a pale face.
To say, Han Biao is also a fat guy, his cranial nerves are abnormally thick, he rarely has a fear of anything, plus he has been killed from the corpse mountain and blood sea of mutant insects for so long, theoretically he should be immune to corpses and blood.
But the scene in front of him made Han Biao have to weaken his legs......
Corpse.
A large number of corpses.
Mountains of corpses.
When he was on the Internet before, Han Biao had seen the evil thing of "mass grave" on the Internet, which had already made Han Biao's stupid and bold body cold, the corpse of the insect and the corpse of the human being are not the same level of concept from the senses, just like the mood of human beings visiting the slaughterhouse of the meat union and the mood of the pig visiting the slaughterhouse of the meat union are completely different.
Han Biao finally knew where the survivors of the Tahiti agglomeration had gone, and the huge natural karst cave in front of him was filled with tens of thousands of swollen and rotting corpses, like a clogged sewer mouth, and in the ocean of gray-white pus, the human body that had become abnormally obese was soaked, as if... Sorry, I can't find the right adjective to describe this hellish picture.
The overflowing corpse fluid was injected into the water source of the Grand Canyon, and the terrible corpse stench walked into the space of the entire area, no wonder there were no creatures in the whole area, no wonder he felt that the color of the water source was a little strange when he came in, no wonder...
Pestilence!
Han Biao's face was unusually ugly, and he quickly withdrew from the Grand Canyon and rushed in the direction of the exploration troops. Evacuate Tahiti now! Command everyone to use the air circulation device attached to the armor, and prohibit direct breathing of outside air ...
Yasha asked suspiciously, "What happened!?" ”
"Less! Lao Tzu told you to do it, and if you don't want to die, you should do it quickly! ”
Han Biao, who was stimulated by the scene just now, was inexplicably angry, and roared irritably: "Plague! Probably the plague!! The survivors of the Tahitian agglomeration are dead! 20 million people! It's all swollen and shiny like a pig's urine bubble, soaked in pus corpse fluid, mom is even bubbling with a grunt, do you want to know what the scene is? I'll go back and show you later! It's all recorded! I guarantee that you will sleep every night in this life! ”
Yasha was dumbfounded by Han Biao's roar, no need to look at Han Biao's so-called recording screen, the pilots in the bridge of the Daisy were all pale and scary, but the movements were unusually fast, hundreds of thousands of exploration troops quickly evacuated the area, and took corresponding precautions, and Han Biao was also thoroughly disinfected by the medical staff who rushed to it.
The medical technology of the interstellar era, although it has been sublimated to the level of genes, but the resistance of human beings is far inferior to that of Han Biao, a "primitive man", any large-scale plague is a very serious disaster for human beings, although it can be cured, but if it breaks out on a large scale, it can completely paralyze the entire human system.
After the exploration troops withdrew, in the natural cave in the Grand Canyon, the corpse soaked in pus suddenly tumbled, and a huge, round creature, like a devil from the abyss of hell, stirred and tumbled the swollen corpse.
And some pus corpses scattered in the outside world, but like resurrected undead, twitched, slowly crawled up, like the legendary biochemical zombies, staggering, stumbling, turning swollen eyeballs bigger than light bulbs, and pus mixed with rotting substances continued to flow out of the mouth, nose, eyes and ears, wandering aimlessly, spreading in all directions.
