Chapter 465: History of the War
In the future world, the mutated creatures that Su Hao encountered were extremely powerful. Their evolutionary focus is almost entirely on aggressive parts such as claws, teeth, and toxins. Taking the abandoned city of Nanjing as an example, in the year when Su Hao activated the time shuttle, the defenders of the base city handed over the latest hunted mutant biological samples to the Academy of Sciences. Among them, the agile dog-like humanoid has two forelimbs that are more than three meters long and can be contracted, and the sharpness of the claws is comparable to that of the hardest carbon tomahawk. It can cut through human skin as easily as a scalpel, or it can retract and grasp to form a hook. It was no longer the dog man of the early days of the war, but a terrifying monster with a head similar to that of a dog, with the ability to run short distances and climb with agility.
The change is most noticeable in the giant pigmen. Their mouths are fully enlarged, and the joints and muscles that control the ability to open and close are very similar to those of snakes. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that this monster with a pig's nose would be able to swallow an entire human corpse in one sitting. This qiē is true, and the front-line soldiers have seen mutated pig-like humans more than once grab their prey and stuff it into their mouths. Their huge mouths can fit an entire adult, and the scene is like a python devouring large prey like an antelope, but much faster. After devouring, the pig man did not have the slightest fatigue from eating the python. They are still agile and formidable. These monsters eat an astonishing amount of food, and can swallow between three and five humans at a time. The Academy of Sciences was curious about the changes in the giant mutant creatures, and after dissecting the captured monsters, it was discovered that the entire body structure of the giant pigmen had changed. They have only two pairs of sharp teeth growing inwards inside their mouths, and the pouch shifts to the lower levels of the abdomen. Food is stuffed from the mouth into the esophagus and accumulates in places that would otherwise belong to the lungs. A huge space has been formed there, with more than three hundred teeth growing on the fleshy walls. Here, the food is chopped, divided, chewed, and after the initial processing has been completed, it can enter the stomach for digestion.
The lungs of the pig man are transferred to the back of the neck to connect with the head, and new respiratory organs grow on the side of the thorax. Its ability to move has not diminished in the slightest, but its ability to eat and digest has increased exponentially. At the time, all researchers, including Wang, were incredulous about the change. However, all the changes that are very different from the native species have been completed in just a few decades. Biologists' theories of evolution have been overhauled, which means that species can indeed mutate in response to external environmental stimuli.
The world of the future is completely different from the present. Mutated creatures have plenty of food there. At that time, there were hundreds of millions of survivors on Earth, and since the fourth evolution, mutated creatures have been leaving abandoned cities to hunt down humans. The change between the pig man and the dog man was discovered at that time. Because Su Hao left in too haste, the relevant information is not very detailed. But in terms of overall aspects, the combat power of mutant creatures has indeed changed drastically from before.
Wang Qinian kept all the information given by Su Hao. After Su Hao left Earth, he has been paying close attention to the evolution of mutant creatures. However, when the biological war was in its sixteenth year, Wang Qinian suddenly realized that he seemed to be wrong.
They have not gotten stronger in the slightest, but have become weaker.
Again, take the agile dog man as an example: its teeth have shown significant deterioration, and the length of the canine teeth has been shortened by about 30 percent compared to three years ago, and they are no longer sharp. The paws also showed signs of brittleness, and the inside of the four-legged soles appeared with soft pads similar to those of cats. In stark contrast, the running ability and speed have been strengthened by about 50 percent, and the transition time from infancy to adulthood has been shortened by four months.
The changes in pig-like humans are equally noticeable. The officers and men of the front-line troops all found that the giant humanoids were not as tall as before. This is definitely not a visual error, Air Force aerial photography and detection figures show that the average height of giant mutant creatures such as pigmen, cattle people, and horse people has indeed decreased by about 30 to 40 centimeters. Dissection of the captured body reveals that the bone density of the giant mutant organisms is more loose than before, and their forelimb muscles are atrophiing, while the length and strength of the hindlimbs are doubling in comparison. Especially in the encounters in abandoned cities, the giant humanoids are running much faster than in the past, and they no longer have the same speed as in the past, pulling up telephone poles and vehicles and other things and smashing them at the soldiers.
They become better at running, at the cost of a significant deterioration in their claws, teeth, and muscles. When he found this sign, Wang Qinian only felt an indescribable excitement surging in his heart. He asked the "swarms" and front-line troops to provide themselves with more real bodies for further analysis.
The conjecture was confirmed six months later. In total, the Academy of Sciences dissected thousands of mutated organisms during this period. Comparing the data from the early days of biological warfare, both the computer and Wang Qinian concluded that the reproductive system of all mutated organisms had been strengthened. In particular, the occurrence of larvae produced by childbirth is much more likely to occur in females than in males.
In the past, dogoid humanoids could give birth to four to six in a litter, with a maximum of seven. Giant monsters such as pigmen have even fewer births, with a maximum of two litters. Now, the number of agile mutant creatures born in a single birth is often around eight to ten, and the number of single births of giant monsters has also risen to three to four.
The ability to reproduce represents the adaptation of organisms to the external environment, and also corresponds to a series of problems such as food sources, air, and water sources. It is only when food is plentiful that the reproduction capacity of a species increases substantially. Instead, the number of individuals born in the year must be reduced to cope with the scarce food sources that allow the population to survive.
For aliens, flying kills completely expose the cruelty and ferocity in their hearts. His final rank at the end of the war was that of a general, and his unit was renamed the "Indian Legion". According to incomplete statistics, he killed nearly 200 million people in India. This is only a rough estimate, and the actual death toll could be much higher if the situation on the ground had been examined in detail.
Liao Qiu looks like a sunny young man on the outside, with a slightly cynical attitude. He was about the same as flying in terms of killing and occupying the population of the country. Only 46 million people have been converted into "worker bees" in Vietnam, a little more than 9,000 in Thailand, 12,000 in Myanmar, and even fewer in Cambodia and Laos, totaling less than 500.
On Su Hao's initial conversion form, the number of "worker bees" converted from these countries should have far exceeded Liao Qiu's implementation criteria. However, as Su Hao left the earth, the indispensable blood source for the transformation of "worker bees" was also cut off. Although Wang Qinian had diluted the blood left in advance, and Su Hao had been stockpiling it since he was very early, his departure meant that the source of the transformed blood had been lost forever.
The reason why the number of conversions in Vietnam is much higher than in other countries is that Su Hao was still there when the expeditionary force invaded Vietnam. With Su Hao leaving, this situation was completely changed by Lao Song. No one knows when Su Hao will come back, and no one knows if he can continue to get more blood. In this case, the use of each transformation agent can only be strictly restricted, and the original national transformation standards can be greatly reduced.
Of course, Lao Song is selfish. He had experienced the battle of the two mountains, and he hated the mongrels who ate and drank Lazar, and then turned around to kill and rob their benefactors. The Southern Expeditionary Corps was successively supplemented by "worker bee" soldiers from China, and the conversion process to the locals was naturally reduced. Since they cannot integrate into the population and cannot be recognized, the only outcome for the local population is death.
The wars against Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines were in full swing four months after Su Hao's departure. The three expeditionary corps, led by Tang Zi, Du Tianhao and Liang Yu respectively, set out from Cam Ranh Bay Naval Base and landed at their respective designated locations. The cross-sea attack lasted for five years, and Wang Qinian's submarine force gave the maximum logistical support. The method of fighting is still to establish a base city in the local area, and use it as a method to clean up and sweep the surrounding area. With the exception of hundreds of scholars deemed valuable to be converted into "worker bees" and bloodline screening of the local population, all excluded targets were killed.
During that time, the waters around the Utah Islands were littered with floating corpses. Densely packed corpses covered almost the entire surface of the sea within tens of square kilometers. Large numbers of seabirds have come from close to feed on carrion, and the number of scavengers such as sharks has increased dramatically. Due to the large number of dead bodies, the pollution of the sea area has increased dramatically, and many corpses are thrown into the sea and then pushed to the shore by the waves. Crabs and mudskippers are everywhere, and many shrimp are also jumping around in the shallow water to feed.
The practice of throwing the corpse into the sea was done first by Du Tianhao. When he crossed the Strait of Malacca and landed in Dumai, he carried a large amount of construction machinery with him. In just two days, he had cleared all the obstacles near Pekanbaru, and at the same time took all the captives to the sea and slaughtered them en masse, and then used construction machinery such as bulldozers to push all the corpses into the sea.
Waves are a headache. To Tianhao's solution is straightforward. He forced the captives to build a wall of about two meters along the seashore, which was not strong, but could hold back the corpses that were pushed up by the tide. To sees himself as doing justice to future generations: most of the surrounding fishing grounds are overfished, and many of the commercial fish species are almost extinct. With this huge number of corpses to feed on, in a few years, the sea will return to the prosperous times of the past.
The hunting and eradication of mutated creatures proceeds much more slowly than the slaughter of local civilians. Regardless of the evolutionary process of the species or the basic appearance, the monsters here are not much different from those in China. At most, because of the difference in skin and appearance of the infected person, the overall color looks darker and the volume is relatively small. Even in Su Hao's original time and space, mutant creatures were still no match for fifth-order enhancers. In the face of the "worker bees" who are armed to the teeth and whose combat strength is all fifth-order strengthened physique, of course, there is only one way to die.
Liang Yu and Tang Zi quickly applied Du Tianhao's method and threw all the local civilians who were killed into the sea. Unfortunately, a reconnaissance plane belonging to the Australian military and belonging to the Bismarck Islands flew over the waters. The crew was immediately shocked by the dense crowd of corpses on the surface of the sea, which amounted to hundreds of thousands. They immediately transmitted the horrific footage taken at that time to the headquarters, and the actions of the expeditionary force were also known to the outside world.
The impact of the massacre is so evident that to this day, Wang believes that it was the wanton mass murder of expeditionary legions in Southeast Asia and elsewhere that led to the degradation of mutated creatures entrenched in abandoned cities. Biological evolution must be premised on the continuation of populations, and abundant food sources contribute to the increase in the number of organisms, which is also a strong foundation. The expeditionary force listed both the mutant creatures and the local population as enemies, massacred the inhabitants on a large scale, deprived the mutants of food, and destroyed cities one after another, and continued to shrink the biological population. In this case, they are forced to mutate again, transforming the biological power that was originally used to strengthen the teeth and claws and other hunting and combat tools into the legs, muscles, skin, and even the reproductive system.
You can only run fast if your muscles are strong and your legs and feet are long enough.
Only by strengthening the reproductive system can more individuals be born and the population continue. Of course, there are certainly many mutated creatures that die in their infancy, and there are also many adult individuals who are starved to death. But as long as there are enough of them, some of them can survive. Fish are the best example of this: they often give birth to as many as 10,000 fertilized eggs at a time, most of which become food for other species, and even if they successfully hatch into small fish, they still cannot escape the fate of being eaten by large fish. But no matter what, there are always a few small fish that come to adulthood, repeating the painful reproduction process of their parents and relatives.
Su Hao's original time and space did not exist as an expeditionary force. Taking Vietnam as an example, when Su Hao left, the Vietnamese prime minister at that time was Nguyen Van Van Minh, who was also the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces. That army numbered 300,000 and was doing the same thing in Laos and Cambodia as the expeditionary force. It is only because of the intervention of the United Nations and the military ministries in the country that the number of civilians killed is far less than it is now.
What happened in Southeast Asia was quickly reported to United Nations Headquarters. The United States immediately dispatched a joint investigation team, and at the same time, in extremely harsh terms, demanded that the Chinese side immediately stop its military operations in the region. At the conference held on the same day, almost all countries expressed strong indignation at the incident. The Japanese government immediately put forward a special motion calling for joint sanctions against China and indicting China on war crimes, ****** and other crimes, and asked the international tribunal to grant it.
When he heard the news, Wang Qinian just pouted and didn't say anything.
If it were in peacetime, it would have been a great deal. And yet, who would take such a thing as "sanctions" seriously? All countries can't even solve the mutated creatures on their own territory, where is the extra strength to wage war? What's more, among all the core countries, China has the largest output of fortified chemicals.
The Americans sent a team of more than twenty people to investigate, and the plane landed on the same day in the base city named "Haizhou" near Malalupi. Du Tianhao unceremoniously arrested all these uninvited guests. In the face of the protests and rants of the investigators, he simply turned on the electronic screen and connected to the remote communication according to the channel provided by the other party. When the screen was full of majesty and righteous remarks about the head of the United States, he directly separated all the members of the investigation team according to gender. The men were fed in cages of captured mutant creatures, while the women were tossed to thousands of Indonesian civilians held outside the base. Those captives will be slaughtered en masse the next morning at the latest, and before they die, they can get a few American women ****, which can be regarded as the last preferential treatment.
The bloody and brutal images shocked everyone present. U.S. officials roared, accused, and threatened Du Tianhao, and finally turned into pleading and lamenting. This qiē didn't get the slightest effect, Du Tianhao hardened his heart coldly, and silently watched as those people were torn apart by mutated creatures and swallowed up by countless red-eyed men...... Until the end, when the U.S. official on the screen asked him in a trembling voice, "Are you really human?" Don't you know that all human beings are allies, and they are collectively fighting against mutant creatures", Du Tianhao finally answered.
"Of course I'm human, and I know that this is a time of biological warfare. However, there is one issue that needs to be corrected. I am a Chinese first and a human second. ”
The reaction of the Americans was quick, and the massacre that took place in the Indonesian archipelago, as well as the reply of Du Tianhao, soon began to spread on all communication channels around the world. The military headquarters could not bear the pressure and announced the revocation of all units in the Southwest Theater and the 505th Group Army as a rebel force. On the list of rebels, Gao Liquan, commander of the group army, was prominently listed at the top.
On this day, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution that the former Chinese 505 Group Army was a terrorist organization.
In view of the fact that the situation in Southeast Asia is getting out of control, the United States and Britain have formed a joint rescue force with the remnants of their navies, accompanied by two aircraft carriers and dozens of other ships, to the island of New Guinea to completely block the logistics and supply of the expeditionary force.
This fleet had practically no combat effectiveness. Even the two motherships, "Ford" and "Reagan," which form the core of the fleet, have only a few hundred personnel on board. They could only maintain the most basic navigation and observation of the ships, and although they were equipped with more than 20 aircraft, they were ordered to attack only surface targets, and it was strictly forbidden to approach land, let alone any landing operations.
Americans' minds are still stuck in the peacetime era before the outbreak of the virus. They still feel that they are in control of the world and that they have an obligation to guide the future direction of the world. Sending a fleet is just a show, a gesture. How much of a role they can actually play, they themselves know better than anyone else. The two motherships "Ford" and "Reagan," the core of the fleet, have only a few hundred personnel on board.
