I Really Didn’t Want to Be the Savior Chapter 157: The Undying Flame and the Vault of Heaven Shield
2521, February.
Deep winter, extremely cold.
Heavy snow is flying, and the white flakes are floating in the air like goose feathers.
Bright lights linger.
The night is cold.
Besides the clean and damp road, there are always fully-armed disinfection vehicles whistling across the icy and slippery ground, and the tire chains slapped on the ground with a click.
The white mist rises into the sky with the disinfection vehicle, like a giant dragon turning over.
Red lanterns are hanging on the balconies in the residential area by the roadside.
It's New Year's Eve.
In the midst of hustle and bustle, relying on the high walls and barbed wire across the continent, as well as the efforts of thousands of night watchmen wearing isolation suits and guarding the high walls, mankind has ushered in a rare peace. new year.
People hung up lanterns they didn't have time to hang last year.
A family of three in gel coats adjusted their face masks, adjusted their masks, held their small hands in their big hands, stood on the balcony, and lit fireworks that were not set off last year.
Clap!
Fireworks explode in the air.
People began to count silently, and a few stars that belonged to themselves were extinguished in their hearts.
The faces that disappeared from the memories, the calls that gradually faded away, the oath to never give up when I was self-encouraging, the complex emotions were like fireworks in the air, fleeting, and finally Only the courage to face the dark sky remains.
Singing sounds from the building opposite.
That is Zhong Lei's "Bath of Fire".
At such a sad and lonely time with no retreat, human beings have gained a short period of peace, and a song like this is needed to ignite the flame that will not be extinguished but cannot be extinguished in the heart.
But on the other side of tranquility, there are still countless people fighting at the forefront of the battle.
The family of three walked back, walked through the fog disinfection corridor, returned to the room, and turned on the communicator.
"Family communication request, waiting for response..."
Five minutes later, communication is connected.
The voice of a woman wrapped in a fully enclosed isolation suit appeared.
She looks a bit like a diving suit with a glass cover over her head.
Despite the automatic ventilation system, she is still sweating profusely.
She is a paramedic fighting on the front lines, and she has a five-minute shift and communication time.
The location where she works is No. 626 Central Hospital for Intensive Treatment, which is built on the edge of the quarantine area, 1,300 kilometers away from the city.
The hospital covers an area of nearly 2,000 acres. The entire body is covered by a shielding cover of the same level as the Mars base. The protective effect is almost seamless, completely isolating bacteria from the shielding cover.
Thousands of critically ill patients are treated here. Although there is still no cure, it can alleviate the pain of the patients as much as possible, allowing them to die relatively peacefully.
She smiled at the camera, "Dad, Mom. Little brother. Are you all okay?"
The family of four chatted about this, each talked about their daily life, encouraged each other, and also talked about one less person in their family, another lost comrade in the nurse's department, and so on.
The communication is sometimes silent and low, sometimes laughing.
A lot of things, I see a lot, and gradually I feel numb.
But the numbness is not derogatory, but everyone's heart has become more indestructible.
While the family of four were chatting, a panicked shout suddenly came from behind the nurse.
The nurse turned around and listened, then turned her head pale.
"Mom and Dad! Little brother! You are leaving now! Hurry up!"
The father of the family asked, "Where are we going?"
The nurse thought for a while, "Go to the depths of the continent far away from the wall, as far as possible!"
The mother asks, "Where is the end point? Are we coming to pick you up? What the **** happened?"
"The S-bacterium has mutated and evolved again. It can use mice as a carrier, and it will diffuse into the air with the mice's breathing. Just now, news came from the hinterland monitoring hospital, in a completely infection-free residential community There was a sudden outbreak of a large number of patients in the hospital. The surveillance hospital is deeper into the safe area than your living quarters! A concentrated infection also broke out in the accommodation area of our central hospital, which is an old book that has already been sick. The leader is screening the central air conditioner The infected data of the system will be released immediately. I don't have time to go into details, so please leave."
Because the incubation period of the superbug named S bacteria is too hidden, it is difficult to detect in the early stage, and its infectiousness is extremely terrible, the current method of screening patients is very simple and crude.
Whether you have been exposed to germ-carrying air.
Yes, then it must be infected.
No, then it's fine.
Mother shook her head as she cried, "No, we're coming to pick you up."
The nurse looked back at her family and said slowly but firmly: "I can't control it anymore, it's out of control. There are too many rats on the earth. Although the medical conditions of the central hospital are very good, it has become an isolated island in the short term. , we have no supply lines. When you come to me, you will die."
As she was talking, the little nurse was shocked, as if she had received some news.
"What's wrong?"
Her family asked questions one after another.
She shook her head, "It's okay, Mom and Dad, hurry up. If you don't leave, it will be too late. When you get to the rear, someone will definitely come up with a solution. You must live, and don't let me sacrifice in vain. !”
Clap!
She turns off the communication, then turns and walks back.
She said to the head nurse through the walkie-talkie: "Sister Lin, I have absorbed germ-infected air in the dormitory area. I have been diagnosed, and I don't have any luck."
Yes, once it is determined that you have breathed germ-free air, you are already waiting for the death sentence, with only two months to live.
On the other side of the walkie-talkie is the silence of the head nurse, Sister Lin.
Not long after, the middle-aged woman on the opposite side said, "Me too."
She asked, "Sister Lin, what should we do?"
Sister Lin thought for a few minutes, then started the whole hospital broadcast and said the famous "626 Manifesto".
"Nothing to do! Continue to stand firm! We cannot take off this isolation suit until we die! All infected medical staff regularly go to the disinfection area to replace the isolation suit energy pack and filter box. Infected people, eat separately and live separately from now on."
"As long as we don't take off the isolation suits, the bacteria can't escape from the isolation suits, so no more people will be infected! We can still move, so we can still do things! Several patients in the intensive care area have been transferred Signs of moderate illness, which are unprecedented."
"We must prove that our treatment plan can improve the survival rate of severe cases, and the research results of our hospital are related to the confidence of human beings to persevere! So, I will work, work until I can't move, until we run out Take the last bullet. I hope everyone is like me! We will fight to the death!"
All medical staff, infected and uninfected, who heard this said in unison.
"Fight to the death!"
The words of the head nurse, whose surname was known only to the world, who could not write down her name, inspired all the medical staff and volunteers who were built in the border and isolation areas, and even in the middle.
Everyone is roaring "the fight to the death" in their hearts.
Infected people, no longer undressed, only wearing shirts, burnt to the last drop of blood.
Or, these people voluntarily rushed out of the hospital and killed one mammal visible to the naked eye with the weapons in their hands, just to reduce the pressure on the rear as much as possible.
People who are not infected will still not panic all day long, but will stay in their posts quietly and do whatever they need to do.
There is a research institute, which was instantly destroyed because of one obliviousness.
Everyone has an alarm clock that counts down to their lives above their heads.
The amazing thing is that no one was panicking, but everyone became relieved. They returned to the laboratory peacefully and peacefully and continued their research.
Even the troublesome and careful sampling work for analysis and testing has become easier. Just spit out a mouthful of saliva, and that is a lot of fresh samples.
This research institute with more than 1,000 people witnesses everyone's journey of the last two months of life in such a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, and provides research for future generations on why S bacteria are so abnormal. Plenty of research references.
Two months later, a large fire ignited from the depths of the base and burned everything. It was the self-destruct button pressed by the last researcher who closed his eyes.
The war has become more tragic.
The S-bacteria faced by humans has once again become more vicious, more cunning, and more difficult to guard against.
Subsequent studies have shown that at that time, the S bacteria evolved, and its carrier was not only more than a mouse, but any mammal!
What's even more frustrating is that S bacteria will become sick after infecting other mammals, but it will not kill them at all. It will only make these animals more manic and restless.
Bats can fly, mice can hide, whales can cross the sea, and the defense of high walls has changed from impregnable to useless.
This ghost seems to have intelligence, and its purpose is to destroy human beings.
The line of humanity is once again losing ground.
The chaos did not come as expected. Although mankind has been retreating in such a tragic defeat, it has always been orderly.
When everyone understands that there is no way back, the infected will not panic, but become relieved.
Groups after batches of infected people abandoned their protective measures and rushed out of smaller and smaller safe areas into larger and larger quarantine areas.
They accomplish many things with the embers of life.
Manual excavation of isolation belts and construction of ditches.
Ignite the blocking zone that burns the earth.
The infected engineer returned to the factory, re-debugged the part of the automatic running program that had a slight bug, and then set the automatic loop running time to infinite.
The infected production line workers, dragging their tired bodies, returned to the enterprise that was running automatically, replaced the nuclear fission battery packs that were only half consumed, and replaced them with a new set of battery packs that could last for another twenty years.
Alternatively, these guys are scrambling to replace solar panels, rub new oil on slightly rusted machines...
The teacher returned to the abandoned school and dug out from the desk the final exam papers that had been prepared but had not yet been distributed to the students.
The traffic cop returns to duty and tells the infected predator who hastily drove around looking for mammals.
After that, when these people have done all the things they used to do in the past, they will each take this and that kind of weapon, carry a simple luggage, and embark on the road of killing.
Sorry, neighbors on Earth.
We have protected you in the past.
But today, we have no choice.
Humans are always selfish.
If there is a choice between the destruction of mankind and the destruction of the earth, then everyone will choose the second option without hesitation.
Countless martyrs used their last two months of life to build a line of defense in isolation and safety zones.
Another year from winter to spring.
This year, humanity lost another two-fifths of its population and one-third of its territory.
Compared to before the cataclysm, only half of the human population and even less than one-third of the territory are left.
But in the end, humans held their ground, relying on a thermal barrier that was hot enough to melt rock.
The high heat block ignites the immortal flames of mankind.
With the ultra-high magnetic field shield up to the stratosphere, a new safe zone is established.
The magnetic field holds up the last giant shield of human beings in the sky.
With the never-ending ~IndoMTL.com~ only "Morrowind" resounds in people's hearts.
Humanity is still struggling in dormancy, trying to fight for a new life.
But the objective situation is indeed more dangerous.
Nearly eight billion people are crowded into less than a third of the territory, and population density has risen sharply.
The energy and materials that were originally inexhaustible have gradually become more scarce.
If at this time there is another staged evolution of super bacteria, with the current population density of humans, it is really the end.
However, after two years of arduous struggle, those who survived have become extraordinarily strong.
Humans decided to counterattack.
It is necessary, and only, to find a solution to the problem before the superbug evolves again.
Otherwise it is perish!
