"The reason the Atlanteans gave us research materials was to make us do what they commanded. According to their requirements, we must deal with a series of issues as soon as possible, such as the economy, resource output, personnel physical screening, strengthening the production of pharmaceuticals, and the construction of bases. The existing cities must be abandoned, and news of the existence of the Atlanteans among the populace is forbidden. They don't want to hide their intentions at all, and they say that the release of the virus is to create war. They do not deal with the attitude of governments in dealing with war, nor do they provide any form of assistance. They give us the formula of the enhanced potion, but at the same time, they explain that the amount of power produced by the potion will gradually lose its effect as the mutated creatures continue to evolve. If you want to decide the course of the war and let more people survive, you must increase scientific research and develop higher-level enhancement potions. ”

There are many hidden meanings in these words that are not on the surface. I don't know if this was intentional on the part of the Atlanteans, but there were many members of the mission who vaguely noticed the problem. The quickest response was an intelligence officer sent by the Russian side. He had a strong temperament and vetoed the words of the Atlanteans on the spot. He bluntly claims that if ———— biological warfare must be imposed on humans, then the only outcome for us is total death. There is no need to release any virus at all, the Russian president can now give the order to launch a nuclear bomb around the world. If nothing else, the nuclear weapons possessed by the governments of China, the United States, and Russia alone are enough to destroy all earthlings. Rather than being forced to accept what biological war, we would commit suicide en masse. In this way, most people at least die comfortably and don't have to be food for zombies. After all, it is much better to be blown up and burned to death by nuclear energy than to be eaten alive. ”

At the time, no one expected the after-effects of these words, and no one felt that it was a threat. At best, it is nothing more than the anger of a dying man in a helpless situation. However, the reaction of the Atlanteans was strange. Their expressions were no longer contemptuous or arrogant, but showed the anger of the coerced and the obvious fear of the coerced. They were supposed to use their minds to communicate, and after about half an hour, the Atlanteans resumed their conversation with us———— and they pulled out another magnetic card, which recorded data on the design of the large base city, the recipe for second-order enhancement potions, and more new technologies such as small battle mechs. In addition, the time of the virus outbreak was no longer 18/l/l, but was revised to 19/l/l, and the time before and after was adjusted for a whole year. ”

"No one expected this kind of accident. The members of the three missions suddenly felt that they had grasped the core of the problem, and they continued to exert pressure on the Atlanteans on the grounds of "national suicide", "detonating a nuclear bomb to destroy all mankind", and "self-destruction by causing an earthquake and tsunami with a powerful explosion". We think we see a glimmer of hope, but we don't realize that Atlanteans have the same genes as us, and they are angry and unwilling to be coerced...... They killed the six men who were the loudest and most defiant on the spot. At the same time, they claim that the virus outbreak is absolutely non-negotiable, and they will no longer revise their decisions, whether they obey it or not.

"The Atlanteans have far more cards than we can imagine. They reacted quickly, and in the face of threats from their representatives, the Atlanteans did not back down or offer more high-tech in exchange. They are outspoken———— humanity must wage a biological war against the virus, and the trend of virus outbreaks is irreversible. If delegates must threaten under the pretext of "suicide for all mankind", then they have a way to respond. After all, the Atlantean civilization is far superior to the civilization of the earth, and the various advanced and advanced scientific and technological forces are simply not something we can compete with. ”

Looking at Wang Qinian on the screen, Su Hao's brain quickly replayed the scenes he had experienced in the future world, as well as some things he had seen and heard in this era. A faint sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Can't compete? With advanced technological power, can you put your will above an entire race? They can't be without flaws, they can't always be unpredictable, and there are always shortcomings that we don't know. ”

"There are definitely flaws, but after all, they have the opportunity and determine the timing of the virus outbreak. If there were more contacts and more time to prepare, we could at least find out more of Atlantis' weaknesses. ”

Wang Qinian has a deep understanding of Su Hao's words. He raised his head and said in a deep and distant voice: "The first meeting ended with mutual hostility on both sides. In the eyes of many insiders, the 19th day of the 19th month is actually the end of the world. The joint institutions of the three countries have become more strained. All are busy for their own purposes, or rather responsibilities. If you study the international financial markets in peacetime, you will find that the GDpf growth in China, the United States, and Russia during that period was extremely large, and the trade deficit caused by foreign purchases of products was far higher than normal. The international agricultural market has a large volume of goods in and out, and few people are short on major futures such as soybeans, corn, and wheat, and cattle, sheep, and livestock in Canada, New Zealand, and Australia are bought in large quantities. In addition to livestock products, the volume of iron ore and oil resources traded is also increasing. The governments of the three countries are desperately buying various raw materials and futures products through various channels. There is no overproduction anymore, and even old grain stored in warehouses is still being bought by people waving large sums of money. It was a really crazy scene, and almost everyone in the exchange had their brains tense. But they are very content because they have made enough money to earn far more than in any other year. ”

"It was a false boom. The governments of the three countries are printing a large number of banknotes, and in addition to purchasing large quantities of raw materials from the international market, all domestic output is also used for the construction of various base cities. In this situation, cement and steel prices have continued to rise, but construction projects have not increased much. Instead, there are a large number of bases scattered throughout the country in the name of "real estate" development. Because of the benefit-sharing relationship between the three governments, the propaganda departments are all working hard to applaud each other. The United States said that our economic situation is very good, and we in turn praised the unprecedented speed of the GDpf in Russia, and the Russians did not hesitate to praise the financial transactions on Wall Street in the United States...... This false state of affairs has deceived many people, who have sold what should have been their most precious thing in exchange for a bag full of bills. It means that he has become a super-rich man since then, but he has no idea that in fact, the three governments have secretly negotiated a new monetary policy, preparing to issue a new Earth Dollar after the outbreak of the virus, which is the blue coin that is now circulating between the base city and the refugees. ”

"Knowing the news of the virus storm in advance has caused other impacts. Japan, for example, suspended all rare earth and ore export projects that year, threatening to ask the Japanese side to exchange some of the agricultural technology that is being developed. In Vietnam, Burma, Thailand and Cambodia, we have obtained extremely large quantities of rice at the cost of selling the core skills of high-performance fighters. In addition, there is iron ore from South Korea, coal from Mongolia, and oil from Iran...... All in all, both the volume and the number of transactions have recorded an unprecedented increase. According to the plan secretly discussed by the joint agencies of the three countries, a solid alliance of interests with the same purpose has been formed. We've been buying all over the world, and no one has ever wondered what's wrong with these mass-issued currencies. After all, the US dollar is recognized as the world's currency, the purchasing power and credibility of the renminbi are also extremely high, and although the ruble has depreciated, Russia has a tough and powerful president...... All of this, ultimately contributing to what we have now. ”

"The Atlanteans are watching us secretly, too. They did not intervene or expose the lies of the three governments about the business practices of other countries. During that period, the United States had four successive secretaries of state, and the president and vice president both suffered from cancer; Russia's Minister of Commerce and Minister of Internal Affairs were killed in a plane crash; Three important leaders of our country have also died of illness...... None of this information has been made public, we have blocked all channels for possible leaks, and the news network has only briefly mentioned that they are "no longer fit for the post due to their medical condition". When new replacements come in, coupled with the role of propaganda agencies, their figure gradually fades. ”

"Not only the leaders of the three countries who knew the inside story, but also the leaders of other countries began to die one after another. In addition to illness and death, there are various accidents and disasters, or assassinations. We all know very well that it was the Atlanteans who showed their strength. They warn us in this brutal and forceful way, and the only thing we can do is to hurry up and make all the preparations more complete. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Qinian sighed deeply, and a look of memory and reverence appeared on his old face: "You can never imagine the pain of those who know. We make a list of all the people in the leadership team from top to bottom. Many outstanding talents have to give up because they cannot pass the physical fitness test. And some guys with mediocre abilities, greed and arrogance, but they are still alive. Some people are righteous, knowing that they will not live for a few years, but they still do not give up, still stay in the office every day, devote themselves to work, and work hard for lofty ideals and goals, until the last minute of the virus outbreak. However, some people can't bear the reality and are slumped, either seizing the time to squander and enjoy, or simply choosing to commit suicide...... In order to prevent accidents, we had to send a large number of security personnel to supervise all the officials whose physical fitness test results were "Class B", and even had to take measures to kill a large number of them. This identification is top-down, and the same is true for the United States and Russia. However, the contrast between the strength and weakness of the strength of the three kingdoms has been shown since that time. Because of our large population base, in other words, there are naturally more people who will survive the outbreak of the virus

"Because of the covert intervention of the Atlanteans, we were forced to transfer the core leadership affairs to the military department, giving the military department more and greater powers. Those damn higher beings have a deep penetration rate of humanity, and they are well aware of the basic dynamics of a country's operation and the purview of the supreme authority. In this case, we can only transfer power secretly. As you can see, we now only have the military department, not the government, and this is the ill left over from that time. But there is no way, if we don't do this, the whole country will be paralyzed, the people will be in chaos, and we will not have to wait for the outbreak of the virus, and we will be completely destroyed. ”

"On the 17th of U/l, we again asked for a meeting with the Atlanteans. At this time, the countries that knew the inside story were not limited to China, the United States, and Russia, but France and Germany also joined in. At the bottom of Bermuda, we have repeatedly argued with the Atlanteans, with the main issue being the need to extend the buffer period before the outbreak of the virus to allow more time to prepare. It was at this time that the virus outbreak was finally determined to be May ll

Su Hao moved his stiff facial muscles and asked in a deep and slow voice, "Is it just time that can be gained?" Why don't you try to get rid of those guys? If you kill them, you might be able to find something like a virus inside the underwater pyramid, or an information memory. In this way, there will be no biological war, and there will be no end to the world. ”

"It's not as simple as you think."

The old fat man shook his head and said in a reasonably flat tone: "In order to deal with the Atlanteans, the means and techniques we have adopted are far beyond your imagination. Including the first one, we have met with them five times. From the second time onwards, many specially trained warriors were added to the ranks of those who entered the underwater pyramid. They are the first to be injected with enhanced potions, and they are extremely capable, and they also carry miniature protective force fields, improved miniature tactical nuclear warheads, wide-area remote sensing helmets, and different types of chemical viruses, airborne bombs, and other weapons. We didn't have much contact with the Atlanteans, and we didn't have much information to refer to, so we had to use the underwater pyramids as our only target. However, none of these warriors were able to enter, they were isolated from the outside of the pyramid, and all the high weapons they carried with them were cleared. In front of those higher beings, we are fundamentally transparent. On several occasions, I felt like they were even trying to kill us, but they didn't. They even used a strange tool to disassemble a miniature tactical nuclear bomb into powder in front of us. ”

"In 19 years, the Russians drove eleven Kirov-class submarines into Bermuda. Their plans were crazy, and the submarine was loaded with more than 80 heavy nuclear warheads of different grades and yields. They went to the bottom of the sea along a safe channel, ready to fire a salvo at the pyramids. The Atlanteans apparently understood the Russians' thoughts, and just a minute before the missiles were turned on, the entire submarine force disappeared. In retaliation, the entire Russian government's top ranks, including the president, died overnight. As a member of the joint agency of the three countries, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation took over the scene of the death and informed us of what happened. The three groups jointly covered up the incident, claiming that the Russian government's top brass was holding a closed assembly on the one hand, and urgently creating some replicants to enter and leave in public places in order to confuse the public. Of course, this kind of thing can't be hidden for long, and there is no need to continue it for a long time. Because after a few months, the virus outbreak finally began. ”

Su Hao raised his head and looked at the ceiling. For a moment, he suddenly had the illusion that he was standing at the top of the world, silently watching the ordinary people who were at a loss and didn't know the danger was coming.

"What was the purpose of the Atlanteans in releasing the virus?"

When the released thoughts were withdrawn and the concept of consciousness returned to reality, Su Hao also asked the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time: "Why don't we use weapons of mass destruction?" Why don't you drop a nuclear bomb on an abandoned city occupied by mutated creatures? That would greatly shorten the course of the war, and the situation would never be the way it is now. ”

"In fact, they don't prescribe how we should deal with biological warfare."

Wang Qinian's tone was deep, and even sounded a little cold: "They just handed us a document that indicated the rate of mutation of the virus in different environments. In short, the virus can be killed by high temperatures, and parasitic individuals are also afraid of flames. However, viruses do not disappear with the death of parasites, they remain with the air and can attach to dirt and building surfaces. For them, the heat and radiation generated by the explosion are the best nutrients, and once they get out of the lethal temperature line, the war environment that cools down is the best breeding ground for the heat. The rate at which the virus mutates will increase exponentially, producing unpredictable changes. The evolutionary pathway may be the production of toxic substances, or gigantics, keratinization of the body surface, or even the most terrible of rage. ”

"No matter what form of upheaval, we can't deal with it. We need more time to research the potions and make the best use of the technology we have obtained. Using artillery fire, or throwing nuclear bombs, will only accelerate the mutation of the virus. That would greatly shorten our time, and a large number of super monsters that we would not be able to deal with would appear in advance. The Atlanteans have made it clear: this is a war and we must learn to deal with viruses that make humanity strong in the process of mutating. Therefore, the weapons we use must strictly control the explosive yield, and it is advisable to have the lethal effects of fragmentation penetration and tearing. Artillery is destined to be only a bystander, or even a forever abandoned role in this war. We can't change reality, we can only accept fate. ”
