Chapter 19 Love and Tolerance I

War broke out without warning. Fiction]

Thousands of nuclear bombs were lifted off almost at the same time, and three minutes later, the first mushroom cloud was rising, and half an hour later, the earth and even the ocean were full of blazing fire, and mushroom clouds rose one after another.

A full hour after the outbreak of the war, it officially ended with the detonation of the last nuclear bomb. The concentrated explosion of thousands of nuclear bombs officially formed a radiation cloud covering the whole world, and the world entered a new era with the theme of cold, darkness and radiation.

According to the conclusions of the old research, in the first nuclear winter that will follow after the outbreak of nuclear war, the world's life will usher in the second peak of extinction. With the exception of a very small number of people hiding in bunkers, humanity should be close to complete extinction.

However, according to historical records, the variety of organisms that survived the first nuclear winter was unusually large, and many people who did not qualify for underground bunkers survived. Judging by the number of people who survive, humanity is still quite far from genocide. In the face of the overall existential crisis, no one expected that almost all living things burst out with amazing vitality and adaptability, and that the populations of organisms that died in the nuclear winter began to prosper in large numbers when spring arrived. Although most of the offspring born are deformed, a small number survive. These lucky few have shown amazing adaptability to their environment, and they are literally made for this era. Although as the first generation of evolutionary mutations, they still have such and such shortcomings, but after all, they have taken a decisive step.

This step seems to be taken quickly and easily.

The nuclear winter was not as long as scientists predicted. When summer arrives in nature, the radiation clouds begin to cut suddenly and dramatically, and the temperature rises accordingly. Although it is no longer as warm as it was before the war, it is not low enough to cause widespread extinction of the species. The survivors were ecstatic, thinking that the disaster would pass in a few years. However, after the initial process of rapid thinning, the radiation clouds stabilized and did not change.

As time passed, the mood of the survivors became more and more gloomy. They finally understood that the catastrophe was irreversible. At this time, they suddenly discovered that the enemies faced by humanity were not only harsh environments, intense radiation, and scarce food, but also mutated creatures that were becoming more and more ferocious. For example, a cat as big as a dog, a mouse half a meter long, and a huge insect that frantically attacks a qiē. Scenes that were once only seen in science fiction movies have now become commonplace.

Humanity is dismayed to find that this is no longer the world they know.

The radiation is still there, and it is still intense. As the radiation cloud thinned, the world became much kinder, so kind that humanity could survive, but only if it mutated. At this time, some well-informed people thought of a piece of news just before the outbreak of war, which was the first appearance of the ability 'Flame'. In the short press conference, which lasted less than ten minutes, it was not just a discovery, a paper, but a detailed genetic map and a blood sample!

That's crazy news!

The flame of ability, which was initially just a spark that could only blacken a piece of paper, did turn into a raging fire, but instead of burning the entire world as Rochester imagined, it illuminated the future for humanity in the dark.

The war broke out on February 14, 2031.

This is dusty history.

Up to now, few people know the history of the war, and even not many people know the exact date of the war. For humanity struggling in turbulent times, chronology is already a dispensable thing. It was also at the Dark Dragoon Headquarters that Su, who had the authority of a colonel, had access to these historical materials.

Humanity has taken on a true pyramid structure, and a handful of people at the top of the tower not only control the vast majority of humanity's forces and resources, but also time, knowledge, and even history! This structure is already extremely solid, and the people at the bottom have a huge base, but they are powerless to change their situation. Human society now, if measured by force or resources, will be a completely upside-down pyramid.

Society is no longer in turmoil.

In the old days, people at the bottom could rise up for great injustice in the distribution of wealth and abuse of power, and overthrow the existing order through collective violence. In turbulent times, on the contrary, if the few at the top are not satisfied with their wealth or power, they can overthrow the existing order through individual violence and concentrate more resources in their own hands. The disadvantaged have become the majority, in every sense of the word. Dictatorship or oligarchs have since become a natural choice for politics.

History flowed through Sue's consciousness like water, and he seemed to see the moment when the flames of war were rising, and also the pain and amazing courage that human beings endured when they struggled in a desperate situation.

Human beings are always contradictory, and even in the most dangerous difficulties, they do not forget to fight each other. But at any time, there is no shortage of people who are willing to lay down their lives for their partners.

Su slowly opened his eyes, and only a short minute had passed, and in his senses, it seemed as if a hundred years had passed. In the line of sight, the clipboard is still standing there, recording that amazing and exciting era from one side, and also recording the thinking trajectory of the greatest genius of the next era. Perhaps in a few hundred years, the handwriting on this clipboard will become the most precious historical material of mankind.

Sue stood up and carefully put the chair back in its original position, restoring the office to its original state. Perhaps, years from now, the office itself, which has been frozen in the pre-war moments, will have irreplaceable historical value.

When he was about to leave, Su suddenly saw a map of the emergency escape passages of the entire underground base posted on the inner wall of the automatic door, so his heart moved, and he quickly found the location of passage No. 54 in the map. Thinking of the contents of the Cherola's message, Sue suddenly wanted to go to Passage 54 to have a look.

Passage 54 is outside the Level 7 clearance area and leads to a separate large evacuation hall with two lifts leading to the ground level. At this time, there was a dead silence in the underground base, and Su found passage No. 54 very smoothly without any obstacles. When the black fog boils, it will cause damage to all creatures it comes into contact with, and it will be a fatal blow to the creatures in the base that originally relied on the black fog to survive. The number and variety of biochemical beasts in the base are very small, and the dragonmen are already the most powerful class. In the process of Su's seizure of the control of the black mist, the biochemical beast that was weaker than the dragon man could not resist the boiling black fog at all, and almost died.

In front of Su, two automatic doors ten meters high and half a meter thick closed together, firmly sealing passage 54. Looking at the design of the automatic door, it is not only a sealed door, but also a fully sealed effect against biological and chemical weapons. The two giant doors have been locked together, and there is no way to open the giant doors without the electric drive hydraulics.

Su frowned, it was this kind of thick door that would consume a lot of his body! Still, he hesitated, but decided to open it and see what was behind the door. The black mist could not penetrate the giant gate, and his perception could not penetrate far. Su vaguely felt that it was worth paying some price.

A cloud of acid was sprayed onto the hydraulic clasp locking device, and the lock was corroded and broken. Su cleaned up the dust and debris on the automatic door rail, and then used all his strength to push hard! With a screeching sound, the heavy door slowly slid open along the rails. Only then did a gap be revealed, and suddenly in the uproar, a pile of dry skeletons fell out of the crack in the door! These are human bones!

Sue resisted the shock in her heart and continued to push the heavy door until the gap could accommodate a person in and out. Behind the door was extremely turbid air, and there was no stench anymore, only the smell of dust that had been precipitated by the years. All of them had been reduced to skeletons, and their clothes were still there, but they would shatter at the touch of them. Behind the other half of the automatic door that has never moved, layers of skeletons are stacked together, stacked several meters high, the skeletons on the bottom have broken marks, and the top one even maintains the posture of pushing the door hard!

Sue walked slowly down the passage into the depths. The passage was littered with skeletons in different positions, some sitting down, some hugging each other to death, and some praying. But until they died, their prayers were not answered.

At the other end of the passage is the refuge hall, which has become a sea of skeletons! As far as the eye can see, two other gates can be seen closed and closed, and the doors are also filled with hills of skeletons. Behind those two doors is a lift to the ground.

Sue was well aware of the regular use of the refuge hall. According to the regulations, after all evacuees enter the evacuation hall, the passage to enter must be completely closed, and the door leading to the elevator on the other side will be opened and the elevator will operate. This measure is especially important in biochemical bases where xenobiological research is the main task, mainly to prevent possible viruses or xenobiotics from rushing into the retreating half of the population.

But looking at the scenes in the passage and the hall, Sue couldn't help but sketch a picture in his mind. Thousands of base personnel entered the refuge hall, and the automatic door behind them slowly closed, completely sealing the No. 54 passage, while the closed door leading to the elevator did not open at all......

When you think that the war broke out on the same day, you think that maybe it wasn't a conspiracy, maybe it was just that the door to the elevator happened to be shattered by a nuclear explosion. However, after reading Cherola's notes, Sue had another idea.

It is quite possible that Cherola was right, after all, he must have known Rochester well, and in the notes left by Rochester, Sue saw a real genius with a somewhat confused mind. The conspiracy may not have been set up by Rochester, but if he wanted to conspire one, it would have been a simple matter. In addition, it is true, as Cherola said, that in the face of Rochester, a true genius, the entire base of researchers has become dispensable. A genius who can understand the fifth dimension of language, close to the sixth dimension, even Su wants to know how his brain is really constituted.

The language spoken by Rochester must have been Bessaindu, which Sue naturally understood, but did not understand its principles. It's like a semi-literate man who can speak, read, barely write, but doesn't know grammar at all.

In the eyes of a genius like Rochester, all life is nothing more than symbols, not worthy of pity at all, and he never knows what pity is. When a person stands too high, sees too far and too wide, and is like him, he will become like an ant at his feet, and if he steps on it, he will trample to death, and even if he sees it, it is not worth moving his feet at all.

Perhaps, this is really a conspiracy, a conspiracy that has claimed thousands of lives, and the outbreak of war at this time is just a simple coincidence.

The one-hour war that changed the whole world was the biggest inexplicable conspiracy, and so far no one knows why the war started.
