Chapter 063: The Mystery of the Catastrophe

Zhou Jian hadn't heard of any mutated anacondas, searched on the Internet, looked at the introduction, and was taken aback, this thing is a variant of the Amazon anaconda in the middle of the last century, the so-called anaconda is the Amazon anaconda, if it is an ordinary Amazon anaconda, it can grow to ten meters long after adulthood, and the mutated anaconda can double in size.

The thickest part of the abdomen of the common forest snake is already equivalent to the waist of an adult man, if the diameter of the abdomen of the mutant forest snake can reach one and a half meters, the length of the body can reach twenty meters, and the strength of the body can entangle the hippopotamus rhinoceros, living in the tropical jungle of Brazil, is an extremely dangerous python.

Speaking of the catastrophe in the middle of the 21st century, Zhou Jian does not know much, more than 100 years have passed since the end of the catastrophe, and the historical record is somewhat vague.

Zhou Jian only knew that there was a large-scale war in the world at that time, and unlike the First and Second World Wars, the opponents of mankind that time were mutated animals and germs.

Until now, Zhou Jian can't figure out what the reason is, suddenly one day, some animals and plants on the earth have mutated and become extremely dangerous, and at the same time, viruses, infected bacteria and fungi are also evolving, people have all kinds of infectious diseases, and in just ten years, the population of the earth has decreased sharply.

In fact, in the era of thermal weapons, the rampant beasts are not a disaster for humans, although the large mutated beasts are powerful, but they are not the opponents of the high-tech weapons of the human army, but some small mutant creatures make humans helpless, such as mutated mosquitoes, mutated fruit flies, mutated rats......

Their number is extremely large, the target is small, fruit flies and mice are fine, at most they can infect a germ or something, and mosquitoes are creepy, usually bitten by mosquitoes, at most a bag, itchy for a few days, and bitten by mutant mosquitoes, it is likely that they will not get out of bed for a month, if they are bitten by several mosquitoes at the same time, the person may die directly because of poisoning in a dream.

This mutant mosquito looks exactly the same as an ordinary mosquito, and it can't be distinguished by the naked eye, and the army is completely dumbfounded to deal with this kind of mosquito, high-tech is useless, and the guns are not as good as the fly swatter, use biological and chemical weapons, it is estimated that the mosquitoes are not dead, and the human race itself will die first. At that time, insecticides and mosquito nets were essential in every household during the catastrophe, but even so, a large number of people died from mosquito bites every year.

Even more terrible than these monster mosquitoes is the plague, once infected with no feasible cure, can only be isolated, but who wants to be locked up and wait for death, and then go to the incinerator?

There were many riots among the plague patients who were desperate to take revenge on the society, which eventually led to the direct shooting of the army, and one tragedy after another, in that era, the nature of human beings was exposed.

Various nations formed an alliance to resist the catastrophe of nature, and at this time, a group of post-apocalyptic heroes known as the Aliens and Evolutionaries also emerged from the human race.

Their strength is amazing, they are simply living supermen, these apocalyptic heroes played a key role in this war, but what the specific role, Zhou Jian did not know.

Later, it was discovered that medicinal materials made of some mutated monsters can treat those new infectious diseases, such as the poison juice of the Amazon mutant monitor lizard can treat star spotting, the tiger bones of the Bengal mutant tiger can treat new polio, etc., and the snake gall bladder of the mutant forest snake is also one of them, but Rao is so, because the number of monster corpses is limited, there are still a large number of people dying from various infectious diseases.

Humans and mutant creatures and new plagues were in a stalemate for twenty years, after which animals began to mutate less, viruses and bacteria mutated stopped, and then humans gradually gained the upper hand, driving the mutated beasts back to the African jungle, the Brazilian jungle, and the vast oceans.

This catastrophe set human civilization back a big step, and until now, in the middle of the 22nd century, the level of human civilization is only a little stronger than at the beginning of the 21st century.

With the end of the catastrophe, the mutants and evolutionaries in the human race also disappeared, and although the ancient martial arts became popular because of this, the later warriors could no longer reach the heights of those post-apocalyptic heroes.

Zhou Jian guessed that the so-called heroes of the end times are actually mutated human beings, since animals and plants can mutate into monsters, why can't humans, but what the reason for the mutation is still a mystery, and it may also be artificially covered up.

The official explanation given is that because of the increasing pollution of the environment by human beings and the radiation left over from nuclear explosions and nuclear leaks, there has been a large number of variations in the life of the earth.

But anyone who knows a little bit about biology knows that this explanation is pure nonsense, and can only be used in fiction to bluff people.

It is true that excessive radiation can cause genetic mutations in organisms, which is how the tomato and green peppers of Space 1 and 2 come from, but more than 99% of genetic mutations will only cause the death of organisms.

Even if the probability of mutation success is less than 1%, it cannot occur in adult animals and plants, but occurs during the fertilized egg, only the genes of the fertilized egg are interrupted and recombined can be transmitted to the cells of the whole body through mitosis, and the cells of adult organisms have long been highly differentiated, and they are still mutated, and they are almost cancerous.

Therefore, even if, as the official says, environmental pollution and nuclear radiation really exceed the limits of what the earth's organisms can bear, then the result is that a large number of animal and human cells are destroyed by radiation, genetic damage, oncogene activation, and finally death due to cancer, and there will be no mutation.

This is why places that have been hit by nuclear bombs, such as Hiroshima and Nagasaki in RB, have significantly higher rates of cancer and leukemia after World War II than other regions, but they have never heard of any mutated organisms in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Some people speculate that the Holocaust may be related to an alien invasion, but this explanation does not seem to make sense, because during the Holocaust, no UFOs such as UFOs were observed, and no aliens with big eyes and pointed jaws were seen.

Of course, in Zhou Jian's view, the people who hold this statement are actually YY Emperors, not to mention that in the middle of the 21st century, no country has this level of science and technology and financial resources to conduct a biochemical experiment that is enough to affect all species in the whole world, even if it does, what is the reason for a country to do this? The state apparatus is the most realistic, is it possible to invest a lot of money in the genetic replenishment of any species, and can it bring GDP or fiscal revenue to the country?

-------------------------------------

I guess some readers may ask in this chapter, are you urban or science fiction? Why is the catastrophe, the monsters are all out, do you want to write about Zhou Jian turning into Ultraman vs. Little Monsters or something in the future, it's too distorted.

In fact, on the contrary, Xiao Xue made such a setting to make everything in the book reasonable.

First of all, a helmet game like "Gods and Demons" is unlikely to appear in modern times, if it is placed in the future, it may have to be accompanied by a bunch of sci-fi things, such as going to a fight and taking out a desert eagle, some readers will ask, no, what age, do you still use this antique gun?

Secondly, the classification of this book is urban ability, and it is inevitable that there will be some awesome masters or abilities in the book, and it is too awkward to arrange so many masters in the 21st century, after all, this is the era we live in, why don't you see such a great master?

So Xiao Xue set up a "pseudo-future" background more than a hundred years later, and set up a catastrophe to explain why there are supernatural people, in fact, it is the future, but because the catastrophe has led to the regression of science and technology, it is similar to the present, it is another form of overhead, to put it bluntly, it is still urban.

It's empty, and it makes sense to arrange the CIA, the domestic family, the international or any foreign museum.

In fact, there are no outrageous monsters in this book.,The so-called mutation is only a little bigger than before the catastrophe.,Or with poison or something.,It's not to the point of being invulnerable.,And this book is not a science fiction article about fighting monsters.,You can treat them as powerful tigers and lions or something.。

In fact, even in real life, supernatural phenomena are not uncommon, what Loch Ness Monster, Mayan Prediction, 2012, UFO, crop circle, Atlantis, Baimo Triangle, although most of them are made up, but we can't arbitrarily say that they are all fake.

In fact, readers who have read Xiao Xue's last book "Warcraft Dotta: Another World" will know that Xiao Xue's book will definitely explain some of the original absurd settings with the scientific explanations that have been recognized at this stage to be reasonable, and "Thief" will also be the same.
