Chapter 494: After the War
Several anti-chemical warfare soldiers carrying barrel medicine box devices rushed into the room, and a pale white mist with a strong smell of medicine quickly spread. When the spobs of water vapor slowly fall on the surface of the dark red slurry on the floor and wall, the color of the slurry gradually darkens, and it cannot remain semi-solidified, and finally becomes a deep black liquid.
This is an anti-drug agent developed by the Academy of Sciences based on the driver's blood. It is capable of fundamentally destroying the core of the virus, causing it to collapse and not be able to enter the human body for parasitism.
Lana let out a terrible scream, her eyes wide open, her hands dancing back and forth in the air uncontrollably. Dense blood vessels quickly protrude on the surface of the body, like a dark red net. From the side, Lana looked as if she was being crushed underneath by a huge round ball of flesh, and she tried desperately to break free, but at most she could only lean up partially. This action is apparently stimulated by anti-drug agents, and the threatened virus demands that the host escape from the room immediately. She screamed, screamed, and struggled, and a tremendous amount of power erupted from her mangled body. Everyone saw clearly and horrified: the junction between Lana's abdomen and waist had cracked. She didn't seem to know what pain was, and with frantic momentum she tore her flesh apart, struggling to move her body out of the weight of her abdomen.
"Look at her! Don't touch directly, use the robotic arm, use the robotic arm quickly! ”
As the major roared, two soldiers in medical armor immediately rushed over and controlled Lana, who was about to escape, from different directions. This is a battlefield medical machine that the Imperial Academy of Sciences successfully developed decades ago. Similar in appearance to the basic individual mech, but with two more pairs of robotic arms extending from the back of the loader. The purpose of these robotic arms is to better immobilize the wounded so that they do not break bones or displace internal organs during transportation on the battlefield. A medicdic wearing a medical mecha is equivalent to a miniature version of a battlefield ambulance team. Even in the worst cases, the most severely wounded soldiers were treated.
The ability of medical armor to control the target was most perfectly demonstrated at such a time. A total of four mechanical arms grabbed Lana's neck and various parts of her upper body, holding her firmly in place, and the powerful small hedron energy furnace was enough to power hundreds of tons of heavy chariots, let alone a single infected person. Although Lana's screams were heart-rending, and her face was distorted to be more terrifying than the devil, she couldn't break free from the cold mechanical control.
Several snake-like creatures, accompanied by large amounts of blood and pus, swam out of the edge of Lana's ruptured abdomen. They are about half a meter long, the thickness of an adult's arm, with a pointed head, facial features similar to those of humans, and a mouth full of sharp fangs. These monsters, apparently still juvenile, crawled around the room, constantly opening their mouths to demonstrate to the soldiers standing around, and even tried to pass through the gaps in the crowd, but they were frozen on the spot by the coolant sprayed by the anti-chemical defense soldiers who had already prepared them, and then carefully packed into specimen boxes made of high-strength polyester as samples.
These are samples that are urgently needed by the Academy of Sciences. Through the simulation of the light brain program, the Department of Biology has figured out the basic structure of the virus. It was a lower intelligent life that hosted other animals. The so-called "lower intelligence" refers only to the virus in a dark red pulp state. Once successfully parasitized, they will further develop new intelligent abilities with the thinking of the host brain, so that they can make judgments about the external environment and things.
Lana's situation is exactly the same as the pregnant she-wolf that Su Hao had seen on the hologram before. Viruses only treat the mother body as a consumable, and their purpose in occupying Lana's body is only to reproduce in a better, more advanced form. Virus individuals are so small that they are easily affected by environmental influences such as temperature and air. They possess simple intelligence, cannot tolerate such simple and low-level beings, and merge and plunder in a parasitic way, which is the most suitable evolution for them.
The wound on Lana's abdomen grew larger and larger, and more serpentine creatures appeared, and her high belly quickly shrunk. Out of the house, the Major also deployed chemical defense troops outside, and a large amount of coolant could slow down the activity of the serpentine creatures, but not cause death. In this way, the temperature inside and outside the hut quickly cooled, and even the floor was covered with a thick layer of hoarfrost.
……
By the time the relevant report was delivered to the emperor's desk, nearly ten hours had passed.
The sunlight on the horizon is dimming, and in a few moments, the real worlds will be shrouded in darkness.
I don't know why, Su Hao suddenly felt that he was more suitable to survive in the dark. Or should I say that he prefers the feeling of being in the dark. The sun was harsh and uncomfortable. Looking at the universe, in fact, the origin should be dark, only those burning stars are emitting light. Therefore, in the interior of galaxies, they are called "suns", and humans are also accustomed to life shrouded in light. This is actually an evolutionary misunderstanding, light or darkness does not matter, if human eyes can see things in the dark, human beings will definitely hate and even hate the sun like all dark creatures. However, our visual cells have been fixed to see only with the help of light, and because of this prerequisite, we have to be with the light, yearn for it, and even sing about it, but at the root of it, the light accounts for only a tiny fraction of the entire universe.
Su Hao has read every word of Wen Jiàn in detail, and he has read it many times. In particular, the holographic images recorded by the Major on the spot, as well as the serpentine creatures captured from Lana's body, caused him to feel an unspoken cold.
"I thought I had captured the truth behind the fog, but I didn't touch anything. It's just a layer of camouflage, and when I peel it off, I'll see that it's still camouflage underneath......"
Su Hao likes to think in the dark, which has become his habit. Maybe it's the black particles, or maybe it's the special needs of evolutionary people for the environment, Su Hao refuses to install high-power lighting in his living room, and even if he really needs light, it's just a faint bedside lamp.
The world has become more and more hostile.
This sentence may sound a little confusing, but the actual meaning is obvious.
If we think of the environment as a existence with wisdom, such as the earth, the sky, the rivers, the mountains, the sea...... Then the contact between human beings and them is actually a process of parasitism and transformation. It sounds ridiculous, but just change the way of thinking, take Lana as an example, the former is the planet under your feet, and the virus represents humanity. When the mind is connected to the current situation, you will be surprised to find that for the planet itself, human beings, that is, us, are actually a virus.
We mine the planet and cut down forests.
We enjoyed the water and air, hunted wild animals, and fished for fish.
We drove concrete piles into the soil and built tall buildings.
We cultivated the land and dug the canals.
All right! There are so many ways to transform the planet that it's impossible to list them all. When we do this qiē, we never think about the feeling of the planet under our feet. Imagine if there was a tiny life form parasitic on your surface.
This situation is not without zài. The surface of our skin is full of mites, and there are countless small bugs coming and going at the roots of our hair that are invisible to the naked eye. Not to mention anything else, the danger of mites to the skin is the enemy of every woman. But no matter how clean your face is washed or how high-end the cosmetics you use, there will always be fish that slip through the net and crawl on the surface of your skin to bite. The nutrients they need are not worth mentioning in our eyes, but if the number of these little insects exceeds the limit of what they can bear, even the most beautiful women will be gnawed alive into skeletons.
Are planets intelligent?
Scientists tell us that the answer is "no".
But scientists are not gods, and many of them even forget to eat and sleep, and although others continue to use this act of forgetting to eat and sleep as a story to inspire future generations, no one can deny that forgetting to eat and sleep does cause harm to the body, and for the word "life", it means stupidity.
The hostility that Su Hao felt came from the planet itself.
Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions...... The increasing frequency of natural disasters seems to be heralding this. If the planet under your feet really has intelligence, it will never tolerate the presence of parasites on its body.
Just like we can't tolerate the parasitic behavior of viruses.
This kind of thing sounds like a joke, but intuition tells Su Hao that it is very likely to be close to the truth he is looking for, and even the truth itself.
"Hostile ......"
Slowly silently chanting these two words, Su Hao stretched out his hand and slowly fiddled with the holographic image releaser in front of him, rotating the light blue red dragon planet simulation image to the core of the central mountain range, the location of the mysterious white pyramid.
Research by the Imperial Academy of Sciences has confirmed that if not detected in time, the serpentine monster born from Lana's body can easily adapt to the environment and can even cause a larger multiplication in a short period of time. Their reproduction inside the human body is very strange, the virus acts directly on the inside of the sperm, and the formed larvae look like a snake, but in fact it is the shape of the sperm after countless times magnification. Lana's eggs are forcibly split and fused with these sperm in fragments, resulting in the horrific result of a litter producing more than 100 larvae.
This is just the second form of the virus. They are capable of bonding with any known species, and if the combined body is still human, the third form will change back into a human-headed monster with the body of a snake. This basic appearance will continue forever, gradually spreading to other species such as rats, mosquitoes, flies, cattle and sheep.
This is also a virus outbreak similar to the earth, very terrible, and the consequences are very severe. If it weren't for Su Hao's setting up an epidemic prevention zone around the Central Mountain Range, if he hadn't discovered the change of the driver in time, if he hadn't found Lana before the birth of the body, then things would probably have gotten out of control. Even, the result is even stricter than the previous earth.
Su Hao doesn't know what he thinks, right? He just felt that the virus storm on Earth was directly related to this incident on the Red Dragon Planet. The former is to turn the infected into zombies, and the latter is to turn the infected into monsters. In terms of actual combat effectiveness and speed of transmission, there is not much difference between the two. After all, the human physique on the earth is far inferior to that of the Red Dragon Planet, and the zombie virus cannot have an effect on the humans here, so it can only be used to strengthen parasitism, causing large-scale disasters.
Is it for the same reason that the Atlanteans set up surveillance on Earth, picking evolved people and taking them away?
Staring at the dazzling white triangle on the holographic image, Su Hao's long, straight eyebrows shook slightly, and his gaze became more and more cold.
"It's time to leave. I'm leaving. ”
……
Earth, Nevada base.
Yang Lulu disliked this place more and more, and even had an instinctive disgust.
As Gao Liquan's special envoy to the United Nations, she has been going back and forth between several continents for more than a year. Everywhere I went, I saw flattering smiling faces, and I heard words like "help us". To be honest, biological warfare has no effect on the Chinese, and an agreement has been reached between Gao Liquan and the military department to use their actual control of the zhì line as the regional public administration. Of course, this kind of private discussion will never be public, and to outsiders, China is still China, but its territory has expanded much from the legal limits of the virus outbreak to a frightening level.
Domestic development work is ongoing. The health and quarantine authorities have completed two rounds of inspections in all abandoned cities and determined that there are no signs of survival of mutant organisms. Based on each base city, the construction and improvement of the new city is constantly being carried out. Out of consideration for future wars and uncertainties, the original city wall was not demolished, but increased a lot on the existing foundation. Once as the boundary, the base city and the outside of the formation of a clear distinction between the poor and the rich.
Civilian buildings began to be included in the plan on a large scale, new stadiums and performance halls were built, more and more entertainment venues of various kinds were built in the civilian area, and greenery and parks are still the most important construction projects in the civil area, as they were more than 100 years ago.
The lives of the common people have returned to the peaceful times of the past, and the continuous development of technology has added more novelties to life. The streets are full of civilian maglev vehicles, and people of different models and functions have begun to enter various homes. Through the guò online supermarket, residents can receive fresh fruit from the mechanical farm while sitting at home. Surgeries such as amputated limb replantation have become simpler, and various street screens are always showing content about celebrities and commercials.
As a result, when the war ended and peace was restored, the product of "star" reappeared. Talent shows like "Fast Men and Fast Women" have emerged in an endless stream in the last century, but everything has a time effect. For example, in the fifteen years after the end of the domestic biological war, all the star draft targets of that period were fighters. The director and the television station select the toughest soldiers from the various combat units, and they stand on the stage to show off their achievements. The warrior with the highest combat achievements and the largest number of mutated creatures killed will always be the audience's favorite character. At that time, the status of the military reached an unprecedented height, and children's favorite toys were also all kinds of imitation guns, and the silly Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf could no longer be seen in cartoons, but super soldiers who were full of courage and fighting spirit, and their hands could tear apart mutant creatures.
Fifteen years later, the public's concept of celebrities has gradually changed. Young and cute beautiful girls are once again the subject of the screen. Perhaps because of the impact of too many brutal images during the biological war, people don't like women who hide on stage, they just like to see sexy clothes and beautiful curves with bumpy bodies. During this period, many famous shoujo singing groups appeared, and some art groups that had been abolished during the war began to be rebuilt. The neon lights in the stadiums and theaters began to flicker again, and tens of thousands of spectators chanted the names of their favorite stars.
The aesthetics of human beings always change with the times. Peking Opera has completely disappeared, and the two have disappeared, and Huangmei Opera and various local operas have long disappeared. This phenomenon is not only found in China, Italian opera, American country music, Scottish bagpipes with a strong national style...... The biological wars are over, and many of the things that have been called "culture" have disappeared with them. It's not that people deliberately want to forget, and it can't be said that the humans of the new era don't like them at all, but those who used to be able to perform are long dead, and they don't have time or way to pass on what they have learned to others, so they can only go to the grave forever with regrets.
A number of new cultural projects emerged.
On the streets of Brandenburg, holograms began to be used as cameras to record programs. This new visual effect is better and more intuitive than the movie.
New branches have emerged in the play. Those are some actors whose bodies are particularly soft and can make all kinds of difficult movements, and directly express the plot with a silent form of body bending. These people all carry the bloodlines of mutated creatures. During the war, many women were forcibly mated by mutated creatures, many died, and some survived. Unwilling to kill their children, they choose to raise them in silence. This is the case in all countries of the world, and its descendants also have more or less non-human physical features. Although they are under strict official and police surveillance, they still maintain the most basic human love of life. The exaggerated and deformed way of expressing acting content was not understood at first, and it was not until decades later that it was gradually accepted.
In fact, art comes from life. Whether it is death or birth, it is just a kind of cosmic reincarnation. All have the bloodlines of mutated creatures.
