I Really Didn’t Want to Be the Savior Chapter 158: self-burning
In the spring of 2523, a more tragic war started again. After relying on the new insurmountable "high wall" built by the flames and giant shields, no more people were finally infected.
The victims have become blood-stained nicks lost in history.
Survivors still have to carry on the legacy of the deceased, staggering forward with the responsibility of continuing the race against the catastrophe.
In short, the human race completely stabilized, and then began to counterattack.
A new disinfectant has been developed.
Isolation suits of new materials have been developed.
The fusion energy module has become smaller and more portable, allowing it to be carried on a single soldier's motorcycle.
People are moving forward little by little, slowly pushing the quarantine area occupied by bacteria to the distant coastline.
The recovered person who was infected with the virus and then barely recovered gave himself a semi-mechanized body and joined the construction team.
The human defense line began to advance at a speed of several kilometers, ten kilometers or even dozens of kilometers a day.
Although there are still people who will always fall silently on the way forward, the latecomers will definitely take over the equipment he left behind and inherit his will at the same time.
Represents the bright red area of the quarantine zone, inch by inch less on the map.
Belonging to the green safe zone of human beings, it begins to increase little by little.
Three years have passed.
Winter 2525.
The Eurasian continent, the American continent, and the African continent declared "liberation" one after another.
Only Australia is left.
At the beginning of the disaster, relatively sparsely populated Australia was simply unable to organize an effective resistance.
It has become a dead territory for humans, a paradise for animals and plants.
After a short respite, in the spring of 2526, after a short recuperation, human beings sent the first advance team of 100,000 people to form a huge flying fleet to launch a final onslaught against the S bacteria.
The big battle is imminent.
Billions of people are standing or sitting, holding hands, standing shoulder to shoulder in front of projectors, TVs, or looking down at their phones together.
The picture shows the advance team slowly landing.
First, the engineering ship carried out flame jets to remove and drive away the mice hiding under the ground below.
Whether it's a mouse or other animal, it flees in a frenzy under the heat of thousands of degrees.
The scorching continued for more than three hours, with all ground animals fleeing.
Of course, there is not a single mouse left, known for its agility.
Then, the engineering ship extended its cantilever and began to construct a high-heat isolation belt and a magnetic field shield through external operations.
One day later, the advance team established the first base area that belonged to human beings again on the dead land of Australia.
The medical ship took over the position of the engineering ship and began to spray the highly efficient sterilization and disinfection spray that was just developed half a month ago into the air.
Superbugs are constantly evolving, and many methods of disinfection that have been tried and tested in the past are gradually losing their effectiveness.
Its drug resistance is getting better and better, the protein shell is more stable, more difficult to destroy, and becomes more hidden after entering the human body.
The size of S bacteria has not changed much, but its DNA structure is becoming more and more complex.
But human beings are not standing still, they are also moving forward.
The new spray works very well, and ten minutes later, the onboard probes are deployed to the medical ship and begin to collect air from the outside environment.
More than 20 minutes passed, and no residue of S bacteria was detected in the petri dish, which means that the concentration of S bacteria in this area dropped to 0.
The cleanup was a great success.
A further layer of organic powder is spread over the surface of the turf, which releases the "stinky" organic matter that all mammals hate.
Wait for another half a day, using high-resolution geothermal imaging to confirm that there is no more warm-blooded mammal in this area.
Stable.
Since then, a green area representing a safe zone has appeared on the edge of the Australian continent on the world map, covering a total area of nearly one square kilometer.
Humans have established a bridgehead to sound the horn of counterattack on Australia, the last stronghold of S bacteria.
The engineering ship moved again, opened the material warehouse, and began to stack materials on the ground.
These materials will be gradually used by humans driving construction machinery to construct a second layer of safety cover on the ground.
Next, people will start to build various functional buildings in the safety cover, turning this place into a base with multiple functions such as research, residence, treatment, production, etc.
The engineering staff, not wearing isolation suits, stepped down the ladder to the ground.
All mammals have been driven away. Under the shield of the magnetic field shield, outside animals cannot approach for a short time. It is impossible for S bacteria in this area.
The flamboyant young man smiled proudly, "If S bacteria also has a brain, it will blow its lungs out of anger when it sees us standing in its base camp so struttingly?"
"Shut your stinky mouth and talk nonsense about something unlucky? Work!"
The seasoned middle-aged man scolded him harshly.
The young man sticks out his tongue with a look of indifference.
Although the atmosphere is still tense, everything is progressing in an orderly manner.
No one expects it to happen overnight, and everyone is mentally prepared for a long-term resistance war.
Humans firmly believe that the ultimate victory must be theirs.
Everything seems to be going well.
More than twenty minutes passed, and the peace was suddenly broken.
The alarms in the hospital ship, engineering ship, and personnel transport ship sounded extremely suddenly at the same time.
All those who were not wearing isolation gowns were pale and speechless.
"Why?"
"How is this possible!"
Everyone doesn't understand why.
Obviously everything has been done flawlessly, but why is this still the case.
For a moment, whether they were still in the fleet, or the advance team members who had already landed all fell into the same despair.
Even a few people wearing airtight isolation suits are not at ease.
This feeling of despair and panic can even be fully conveyed to everyone on earth through live video.
But everyone's panic lasted only ten minutes.
The middle-aged man who had previously scolded the young man suddenly said loudly.
"Do you still remember the 626 manifesto?"
"Remember!" the crowd said in unison.
"So, cheer me up! We are the advance team! Are the advance members afraid of death? I ask you are you afraid of death?"
"Don't be afraid!"
The middle-aged man nodded again, "Yes, we are not afraid of death. Before we set off, we are ready to sacrifice! Death is just dust to dust, dust to dust! But we will pave the way for those who come after. Road! Work! Be sure to find out the cause! Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
A day later, come to a conclusion.
It was a snake that brought the S bacteria back out of the ground and harmed everyone.
Chordates, Vertebrates, Reptiles, Diporia, Snakes.
Australia's S bacteria have evolved again, jumping from rodents to snakes.
A bad premonition begins to rise in people's hearts.
The already infected Expendables once again expanded their search area and embarked on an unknown journey.
Another three days passed, and the final conclusion came out.
The S bacteria on this side of Australia has evolved to the next stage.
It can infect all vertebrates beyond the limits of mice!
This is cruel, really cruel.
The rate at which it evolves is astonishingly fast.
No one knows where the limits of S-Bacteria are.
Maybe one day, it will also be spared along with other species that are microorganisms?
The sky is so big, is there still room for human beings?
Such a scene, just thinking about it, is enough to make the scalps of the remaining eight billion people tingle.
Humans acted again immediately, with full force, trying to block the mouths of all rivers.
Bad news after another.
Not long after, a snail was also found to be infected.
The territory of S. bacteria has expanded again.
Humanity fell into near total despair.
A breath hanging from my heart almost disappeared.
However, things took a turn for the better after half a year. When all animals in Australia were infected for a full half a year, it was found that the evolution of S bacteria had stalled.
It's stuck in a bottleneck.
It seems that breaking out of the shackles of animals is not so easy for S bacteria.
The sea has become a fragile barrier to protect human life.
Although there are still infected animals that bring S bacteria to other continents through the coastline, the defense line built by humans with all their strength can still barely stop it.
Only, nearly two billion people died in the past three years.
It has been suggested that it is time to blow up the Australian mainland.
Destroy there completely, at least most of the S bacteria.
At this time, a scientist named Lai Wenming stood up. He rejected the proposal to bomb and sink the Australian mainland and put forward another great conjecture.
The evolutionary ability of S bacteria is so powerful that it completely goes against scientific common sense.
But the rules of the universe are fair after all. If you want to obtain the ability to exceed dimensions, you must pay the corresponding price.
No matter how slow the evolution of normal microorganisms is, as long as the total amount of organisms reaches a certain level, the process of evolution should be eternal and stable throughout.
The evolutionary process itself should not have clearly defined bottlenecks.
It should be a relatively smooth line, and this line representing evolution, if under the premise of infinite time, should never end and have no boundaries.
Evolution should be a never-ending process.
But S bacteria are quite different.
Although its evolution is fast, it seems to be very deliberate every time, breaking through the boundaries within a species class family level.
Judging from the sampling situation, S bacteria have never crossed two classes of the same level at the same time. They all completed one first, and then quickly rushed to the other, like jumping steps, one bottleneck and another bottleneck. .
It evolves to leapfrog, flick, flick.
Therefore, the price of S bacteria's super evolutionary ability is exactly the bottleneck it must face when it evolves.
And its bottleneck has an end.
When the ability of S bacteria reaches a certain limit, it will stop evolving completely, and its DNA will stabilize.
By that time, as long as human beings can capture the ultimate form of S bacteria before it spreads around the world, based on its final stabilized DNA, an effective broad-spectrum vaccine can be produced!
Because we caught their emperor!
Catch the thief first!
Lai Wenming believes that the limit of S bacteria will appear at the moment when its carrier crosses the field of animals and enters the field of all eukaryotes.
Before it spreads, grab the S-Bacterial King in its ultimate form, dissect it, and make a vaccine!
And the place where the Poison King was born is most likely the Australian mainland!
If the Australian mainland was blown up and the most active groups of S bacteria returned to the sea, then everything would be a dream come true.
Furthermore, it is also unpredictable whether a large dose of nuclear radiation will lead to new violent mutations.
Completing his Lai Wenming's plan is the only chance for mankind to turn around and must be held tightly.
Of course, no one knows how much time is left for humanity.
Maybe one day, the ultimate poison king will be born silently, and multiply, and can no longer be stopped.
"Gentlemen, charge."
"We must do all the work before the Poison King is born!"
"Counterattack!"
"Spot our detectors all over the Australian continent!"
"There's no time to wait, anyway, wearing an isolation suit will be the same as sooner or later I'll be accidentally recruited, and it will delay my work efficiency!"
"I'm not wearing the isolation suit! Too slow, too slow!"
"Yes, there are not enough materials for isolation gowns, so leave it to scientists and medical staff."
"My family will be proud of me when I die."
"Report! Engineering ship C19915, all crew refuse isolation suits!"
"Approve. Wait for me."
The mobilization order resounded through the stars of the solar system.
Fleet after fleet loaded with death squads took off, heading towards the Australian mainland.
Yes, it is possible to return, but no one has set foot on the return journey.
Because there is no guarantee that the return ship will be covered with germs.
When they set out on the expedition, the warriors chose the road of no return and became martyrs.
Humans began to spread the seeds of hope on Australia's roads with a density of one probe per square kilometer.
Each seed represents the gradual extinction of the light of life of a group of volunteers.
Five years have passed.
In the past five years, hundreds of millions of volunteers have sacrificed on the Australian continent, and the population of other continents has also dropped by nearly 100 million.
The ones who went to Australia were the death squads.
Those who stayed on the coastlines of other continents were also death squads.
A total of 7.61 million integrated large-scale detection probes have been established in Australia, a large-scale research institute for analyzing and deciphering the DNA structure of S bacteria, which can provide accurate data support for vaccine production.
In order to ensure accuracy and sensitivity, each probe is approximately equivalent to a 30-story building, filled with various precision instruments.
On average, more than 80 people are sacrificed for each probe built.
Millions of volunteers sacrificed to build large research institutes.
The vast majority of people here have only two months to live.
There is no way.
Isolation suits are really not enough.
Even if you wear an isolation suit, you will only live a few months longer than if you don't.
Fortunately, during these five years, the ultimate poison king S bacteria predicted by Lai Wenming was not born.
People begin to wait in pain and anxiety.
Lai Wenming once again brought up another matter.
One institute is not enough.
Because no one knows how much the ultimate poison king's spreading ability will reach.
He wants to build at least 20 research institutes, and each institute will have resident researchers.
As long as you find it, you must start deciphering it as soon as possible!
Because humans can grab one more second, that's one second.
Humanity began to engage in painful debates, and in the end, Lai Wenming's words prevailed.
The second big migration of no return begins.
More volunteers are heading to Australia in batches.
These people go to build more research institutes, or within the strictly guarded research institutes, start intensive analysis and deciphering, and continue to accumulate experience and valuable data.
The research institute has isolation measures, which are slightly safer than the wild, but the S bacteria are really hard to prevent, and accidents often occur, and then the group is destroyed.
But after the group was destroyed, people didn't panic, they still kept calm, patched up the loopholes, and spent just two months of life, despite the sick body, to constantly accumulate knowledge and try to crack the characteristics of the poison king.
When everyone in this group was sacrificed, the research institute fell into a deep sleep, waiting for the arrival of the successor, and started work again after the full anti-virus.
In the past two years, a total of 20 research institutes have been completed, evenly distributed throughout the Australian mainland.
At this point, the total human population has dropped to four billion.
On mainland Australia.
Abandoned warships fill the valley.
The bones of the dead stain the peaks.
Only the indicator light of the detection probe and the research institute seems to be shining forever and never goes out.
S bacteria still has not evolved the ultimate poison king, but every new sampling test can find new changes in its DNA sequence, but no one knows when quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes.
Humans stopped building.
More and more seasoned scientific researchers, medical workers, and new recruits, old or young, male or female, are embarking on the journey again.
They live in a grave called the Institute.
They call themselves the tombs.
The types of work of the people in the tomb are simply and roughly divided into several types.
The researchers responsible for analyzing the samples, the hunters responsible for putting on isolation suits and going out to collect samples, the medical staff responsible for maintaining the patients' life and mobility as much as possible, and the logistics workers.
Every day, every hour, someone is infected by the pervasive S bacteria trying to get into the isolation suit.
Then the hunter will take off the gown and walk lightly.
These people are called walkers.
People from other types of work will put on isolation suits, walk out of the institute, and then take off their shirts and become walkers.
Walkers are either walking or driving across the Australian continent, monitoring every possible new infection vector.
In their final journey for the rest of their two months, they would often leave their bases far and wide, singing songs and zipping the airtight chains of their body bags for themselves before dying.
They sang "Self Burning" by Zhong Lei after rewriting the lyrics.
A nameless composer changed the rhythm of Xi Murong's "Exit" and filled it into the rhythm of "Self Burning".
Please sing a song for me
In those old forgotten words
Please call with a beautiful vibrato
A great river and mountain in my heart
That's a sight only outside the Great Wall
Who said that the tune of Saiqu is too sad
If you don't like it
That's because
There is no desire for you in the song
And we always have to sing and sing
Like the prairie shining golden light for thousands of miles
Like that wind and sand whistling through the desert
Like the banks of the Yellow River
Beside Yinshan
Heroes riding strong
Riding back home
……
Six years later.
A kind of mature body is flocculent with a diameter of only 0.8 microns, which can be swayed by the wind, and even humic yeasts that fly across the ocean and continents have been discovered near the Melbourne site.
A nearby pedestrian collects the sample and drives back.
An array of twenty academies in total came into play.
This traveler is only half a day away from the nearest Melbourne Institute.
After he left, the space-based laser transmitter swept the place frantically.
Meanwhile, more and more runners came from afar, roaring their motors.
They are not here to collect samples.
It's their job to use their flamethrowers and their car's ultra-power filter exhaust fans to kill as many of the Ultimate Poison Kings as possible.
When their equipment is depleted, they will even take a deep breath before setting themselves on fire with a burst of flames.
Lai Wenming, who has been criticized by countless people for only telling others to die, but hiding in the rear, boarded a spacecraft from the Siberia Research Base in the northern tip of Asia and headed straight for the Melbourne Research Institute.
As the only Nobel Prize-winning biologist left in the world today, as a master of quantum biology and genetics, only Lai Wenming himself can go to the front line to decipher the mystery of the ultimate poison king S bacteria at the fastest speed.
Twenty days later, Lai Wenming sent the complete analysis data and the broad-spectrum vaccine gene design plan back to other continents.
Before sending back the data, Lai Wenming was the first to personally test a laboratory-made broad-spectrum vaccine, and cut off most of his liver five minutes later and tested negative for genetic testing.
He became the first human to have immunity to S. bacteria.
He laughed wildly, even ignoring the huge hole in his waist bleeding out.
He then pushes the detonation button himself.
Start the countdown.
Thirty seconds later, the 7.61 million probes all over the continent and the nuclear fusion bombs hidden under the 20 research institutes will detonate at the same time, emitting a high temperature comparable to the sun.
These fusion bombs are known as the last line of defense.
Before dying, Lai Wenming sent back a generous and fierce voice message.
"The fungi carrying the ultimate poison king S bacteria have spread all over the Australian continent, and the nearby oceans have also been polluted. The final defense line can eliminate 95.12% of the poison king fungi, and the remaining poison king fungi will be spread all over the world, At least three months."
"I have completed the vaccine research and development. It only takes two months for you to go from training to mass production and meet the requirements of more than one billion people."
"Everyone else is hiding! After half a year, all human beings will be immune to S bacteria!"
"I, Lai Wenming, did not disgrace the name of my ancestors! You remember my Lai Wenming's name, remember my great, great, great... Grandfather Ryan's name! He is the greatest human being in the 21st century. Scientists! And me, second! Everyone else is bullshit!"
"Humans have won!"
Boom...
Bright daytime fireworks illuminate the earth's sky.
The sun eclipsed it ~IndoMTL.com~ and the earth trembled.
The dense dark cloud that has covered human heads for decades has been torn apart by the brilliance of nuclear fusion.
The long-lost warm sunshine, after the scorching white light and the swept wind dissipated, once again covered the earth.
Three and a half billion voices sang "Self Burning" at the same time.
People were laughing with tears and choked up speechlessly.
The tragic, yet hopeful emotion seems to materialize, haunting the atmosphere above.
Mankind has ushered in a new dawn.
Eight years later, a tower with the names of the fallen was built from the top of Mount Everest, towering straight into the sky.
Thousands of billions of names, each of which is a piece of history.
