Theon's trump card allowed him to quickly return to the position of union president. In the following time, information about various conditions on the surface came like snowflakes. The gravity of the situation was beyond Theon's estimate.

The first platoon had all been killed, including a hundred team members and the captain Green, who had fifth-order abilities. It was a major loss for Remut, and Theon couldn't help but scold Jonock for his stupidity. After receiving reports of a surface procession, Jonock denied a request to open the entrance to the base for soldiers and civilians to enter. Naturally, Jonok did not dare to do so because he was afraid of death, and in fact, at the beginning of the attack of the living corpses, if the second and third formations were sent out to cover, at least half of the soldiers and civilians would have survived.

But now, even if Theon wanted to, it was too late. The first platoon was completely wiped out, and most of the civilians were killed or wounded. The rest did not hide and flee into the wilderness. And the living corpses have completed the work of cleaning up the ground personnel, and are now entering the stage of siege. Theon now opens the entrance to the base, ushering in a large number of living corpses instead of civilians. Naturally, he wouldn't do such a stupid thing, but he gave Pera an order to put Jonock in prison.

Then, an hour later, Theon gave a lecture outside the union hall. The remaining two thousand citizens of Remut were basically present, and looking at these panicked faces, Theon silently said to Pera, "These poor people need a savior. ”

With the words ringing in Pera's ears, Theon strode out of the union hall.

In the plaza outside the hall, everyone's eyes fell on Theon. Theon stepped forward and said in a loud voice, "My dear brothers and sisters, I believe you also know what is happening now. That's right, the homes we love are being trampled on by the dead. Just now, I have received the exact data. Above the surface, overnight, the first platoon of soldiers had all been killed. They are venerable people, and even a second before death comes, they have not left their posts! In addition to them, many more have died, or are dying. Among them, there may be your relatives and friends. And all of this shouldn't have been so bad, even if we can't save everyone, at least we can save most of them. So, do you know that Weishenme will become like this?"

The square was silent, and the citizens looked at Theon blankly. Theon snapped his fingers, and the Sidewinder soldiers escorted Jonock out, who was gagged with a cloth ball. So after escorting him out of the hall, he saw Theon and the people in the square, and he seemed to say something, but only muffled from his mouth.

Theon's crutches pointed at Jonock and shouted, "That's him, our esteemed Chairman." After receiving a warning from the ground forces, instead of sending the second and third platoons to support, he gave the order to close the access to the base. As a result, a large number of people died on the ground, and if the living corpse was the murderer, then Jonock was the devil. A demon with nearly 10,000 lives on his hands!"

The citizens were stunned, and after listening to Theon's words, they realized that their relatives and friends might survive. However, all this hope was snuffed out by Jonock's simple order. Thereupon......

"Demons!"

I don't know who screamed angrily first, followed by the sound of crusade one after another. By Zuihou, if it weren't for the soldiers arranged in advance by Theon to maintain order, I'm afraid that Jonok would have been torn to shreds by the angry people by now.

Theon's hand raised, "Quiet, everyone listen to me." I will give you a satisfactory answer to Jonock's evil deeds, but now is not the time to condemn him, and we have more important things to do, and that is how to keep our homeland. ”

"I believe that many of the people present were people who participated in the construction of Remut back then, and I was one of them. Theon gestured, and Pera behind her understood. With a few simple commands, the electronic screen in the hall of the union reflects the image of the surface residential area, and from the picture, although there are not many of them, there are still living corpses roaming, and then, Theon said: "At the beginning of construction, for defensive reasons, the tactical platforms that I had secretly planted in the floors of the residential area when I designed this city, once activated, would form effective ground fire, which would help us temporarily repel the living corpses. ”

Hearing this, the citizens became excited, and kept exhaling "Hurray" to Theon. Theon had to make another gesture to calm them down, and he added, "However, due to Jonock's policy, the above-ground residential buildings he added destroyed the previously designed Haode platform array, resulting in a shooting blind spot, which made the tactical platform extremely limited. I need to blow these obstacles out, but I don't have enough soldiers, gentlemen!"

"Now I need you to answer a few questions......" Theon's gaze swept over the faces in the square, "I want you to answer me, whether you would rather sit and wait to die, or follow me to the ground and blow up the things that prevent us from saving ourselves, whether you would rather take up arms and fight, or watch your loved ones die!"

When he said Zuihou's words, Theon suddenly raised his voice, making his words hit everyone's hearts like a sledgehammer.

Among the citizens, a gray-haired old man raised his hand and shouted, "I'll go, let me kill those guys!"

Then, more and more voices swelled up, and they converged into a huge volume: "Let me kill them!"

"Very well, now go to the arsenal and get your weapons. Theon said loudly, "Gentlemen, I am proud of your bravery!"

With that, he turned and walked into the hall. Pera followed, and Theon listened to an excited yell outside, and whispered, "In this way, we have two thousand more soldiers." ”

Looking at this man with twinkling eyes, Pera's heart was filled with reverence. Theon may not have any power, but not necessarily the capable can turn two thousand civilians into brave warriors like Theon. This is no longer something that can be done by ability, but a kind of charm.

Theon's charisma.

"But this is not enough, although courage can make people fearless of death, but it can't change their natural limitations in all aspects of physique and liliang, at best, it just buys us more time. Theon walked into the office in a rage and instructed, "Pella, keep in touch with our allies. They are the only ones who can save us now. ”

Pera nodded, put the tablet brain in her hand on the table, and with a flick of her fingers, sent an email to a designated mailbox. On that mailbox, there were countless soldiers raising their guns to the sky.

That's the hallmark of Valhalla!

As soon as Theon sat down, he saw an icon flickering on the computer screen of his desk requesting a call. Theon immediately clicked on it, and a lean man appeared in the window.

The man was in his mid-thirties, and in the background was a wretched room.

"Spy, what's going on?" Theon asked anxiously.

Spy, the most elite scout of the Cobra Force. Before Theon was ready to take over as chairman of Remut, he had already asked Spy to sneak out of Remut in order to investigate the situation on the ground.

"It's not a good situation, sir. Sbee frowned and said, "I have reason to believe that this is not a simple living corpse attack. ”

"How to say. ”

As soon as the screen turns, a new window pops up. In the picture, there is a deep corridor, the corridor is full of civilian corpses, and the lights in the corridor flicker and flicker, making the picture look so eerie. Spy's voice interjected: "This is one of the videos I filmed, please look closely sir, maybe we are not dealing with three thousand living corpses......"

As Spy spoke, the dead corpses suddenly trembled violently. Soon after, the corpses crawled up from the ground with slow, sluggish movements, stood like wood, and then gradually began to move. At that moment, one of the corpses pounced in the direction of the frame. The image immediately shook violently, but before that, Theon could see it very clearly, the eyes of the corpse rushing into him were red.

This is the sign of a living corpse.

In other words, the civilians of Remut in this corridor have been turned into living corpses. New living corpses.

The picture changed again, but it was Sbee who moved the camera out of the window of the room. Theon saw the street below the building, now densely packed with people walking towards the entrance to the Remut base. Among them, occasionally one or two people look back in the direction of the picture, and their eyes are as red as blood.

A large number of living corpses, transformed from dead Remut civilians, were slammed towards Remut like a huge wave.

Theon was speechless with his mouth wide open, living corpses were capable of transforming corpses, but they didn't normally do that. The thing that turns ordinary corpses into the same kind is both a virus and a living corpse. What's more, living people are just food for them, and they don't waste their life materials on food. But now, they are making a large number of their kind.

Remut is now facing not 3,000 living corpses, but more than 10,000 corpse demons!

"Oh my God......" Theon sat down in his chair, and suddenly he looked like he had aged ten years.

―――――― dividing line, wow-ka-ka――――――

In the sky above Eternal Night City, the red lightning that constantly exploded in the radiation clouds that had been shrouded for many years became a unique embellishment of this huge city. Thousands of lightning protection devices scattered around the edge and center of the city will direct the red lightning that falls towards the city to the earth, but they are absorbed by special instruments scattered throughout the ground, and Zuihou converges in one place, becoming one of the sources of electricity for the Eternal Night City.

The city, which is known as the night forever, is illuminated by twinkling lights almost all the time. Unlike the day and night created by Asgard's costly holographic panels, the city of Eternal Night is exposed to a radiant surface to remind those who live in it that they know what kind of shijie they live in.

In such an environment, in order to change his life, or even the whole shijie. The people who live in it have to work tenfold, or even hundredfold, times harder. But the irony is that it is often the few people who stand at the top of the pyramid who can change Shijie. Although politicians often say that "the change of shijie depends on the people", in fact, it is only those who stand on the pinnacle of power who can really determine where the shijie tide goes.

In the city of eternal night, outside the building of the Academy of Science and Technology, Oglok's pedestal is quietly parked aside. However, this one of the biggest names in Middle-earth is not in the car, nor in the building, but in the important base named "Dark Core" in the 49th basement floor.

The Speaker of the Dark Council, Oglok, was walking through a deep but bright passage in the underground base, and there were staff members passing by him, but no one stopped to say hello to him. Here, Oglock's illustrious status was gone, but he was used to ignoring it.

Oglok made his way to the end of the passageway, and after a series of tests, the metal door slid open on both sides, opening a door to the room where Dr. Shauna worked.

Dr. Shauna is wearing a sensing helmet, manipulating the comet-star brain "Omisga" to perform a series of complex operations that Oglok can't understand. Even the arrival of the Speaker could not distract Dr. Shauna in the slightest. Oglock didn't care, and when the quarantine door closed, he just stood by, waiting for the doctor to suspend his work.

On the unfolding light screen in front of Dr. Shauna, complex calculation formulas were constantly revealed, and the data flying by in it was like a sea of stars, and even Oglok was dazzled by it. But these things obviously couldn't help the doctor, and Shauna's eyes were shining with excitement and fanaticism, and he was no longer simply working, but almost burning his own life to explore the mysteries of the universe.

In Oglok's eyes, Dr. Shauna's face looked emaciated from a long period of insufficient rest, and the use of drugs to constantly stimulate his nerves to maintain a state of energy most of the time made Dr. Shauna's thin face appear sickly gray. Dr. Shauna's hair had been stripped to reveal a round, bald head, which reminded Oglok of another man worthy of respect.

Dr. Rafael.

The old man, like Shauna, was a student of Dr. Halson, who presided over the entire artificial god Jihua in the old days. But disagreements over Shijie's essential understanding, combined with the rupture between Oglok and Ben Douglas, separated the two excellent doctors.

Perhaps, after this research, the old thing Shauna will have to take a long vacation. Oglok thought.

"Og, you're here. ”

Dr. Shauna's excited voice brought the Speaker back to his senses, and Dr. Shauna had already stepped into his sensing helmet and jumped off Omisga's operating platform.

"Shauna, my old friend, did you find anything when you came to me in such a hurry?"

"A big discovery, old bastard. Shauna was delighted, and only in an excited and pleasant mood would he call Oak a bastard, a term they used to sneer at each other in their youth.

If this had come from someone else's mouth, I am afraid that this man would have become a dead man under Oglok's men. But the call that came out of Dr. Shauna's mouth made him feel more intimate. It was as if we had gone back to 40 years ago, when the parliament was first established, and it was touching to see how many like-minded comrades got together and fought for the same goal.

Unfortunately, time is gone.

Oglok's attention returned to Dr. Shauna, there weren't many opportunities for a high-level ability like him to wander, but tonight, Oglok seemed to be slightly more distracted.

On the other side, Dr. Shauna had already pulled up a couple of charts. It was like a genetic sequence, but it was much more complex than a normal genetic chart, and even with Oglock's computing power, he couldn't read much useful information from the chart.

"Look at these, old friend. Shauna pointed at them and said, "Do you know what this is? It's the core of the disorder's code, yes, it's a big piece of genetic code, as you can see." But the same gene, its complexity is several orders of magnitude greater than that of humans. What's even more interesting is that such genes have similar fragments in today's organisms!"

Oglok's whole body was shocked, and with his usual calm and composure, he was also moved by Dr. Shauna's words: "Be careful!"

"Well, for your stupid sake. "Apparently, Dr. Shauna was in a good mood to make such a joke about Oglok.

The graph on the light screen disappeared, replaced by a spherical model wrapped in countless pieces of data. Shauna pointed to the outer layer of the model and said, "Look, this is the initial data that the disorder's code has parsed and rendered. In the beginning, I interpreted them as ordinary two-dimensional data, but as you know, nothing came of it for so long. Until one day, it occurred to me what would happen if I interpreted this data in three dimensions. ”

"So, it became what you see it now. Dr. Shauna stretched out his arms and hugged Zuihou to his chest and sighed, "It's already certain that the Discord is not a product of Earth, even if they are all dressed in human skin, but they are not fundamentally the same. I have to say that these outsiders are quite unexpected. For example, these data, who would have thought that they are related to three-dimensional functions. ”

At this time, Oglok noticed that there was a flickering point of light in this data sphere, and he couldn't help asking, "What is this?"

"Core. "It's a repository of information, and all the outer data comes from it," Dr. Shauna said. Now I can only decipher a very small part of it, but what it shows is the genetic chart that you just saw. Note that this is not a perfect genetic chart, and behind it, there should be a long tail. Do you know what that means, friend?"

"Extreme...... You're saying that the Discord may not have evolutionary limits, or that its limits are so great, at least far beyond all the information we have?"

"That's right, it doesn't seem like you're too stupid. Dr. Shauna pointed at Oglok and nodded, "But that's just one of them. Second, by comparing it with some of the information in our database, I found that almost all mutant organisms, with the exception of humans, have a piece of gene that is identical to that of the disordered. Not all of them are the same, but at the most critical genetic nodes, their data is accurate to four decimal places! ”

"You know, the evolution of mutant creatures happened almost overnight. And the data on the gene nodes is unprecedented, as if someone had suddenly inserted this data, and now, the same data has been found in the disordered people. So I think that the genes of the Discord and the mutants, at least some of them, come from the same creator!"
