After fighting with the chicken all day yesterday, received another notice from the state government. Today, at work, the desperate Li Nian lay in his doomsday bunker for hours before gathering his spirits.
Come on, Li Nian! There is no doomsday, and you must live on with strength!
After dressing his wounds, driving his Ford, and filling his pockets with cash, Li Nian was ready to go shopping in the city center.
Shopping has a calming effect on people with mental illness like Li Nian. Only by spending money and seeing that there is still plenty left in her account can Li Nian's anxiety be temporarily relieved.
And what if, just in case, the end really is nigh? Shouldn't she stock up on supplies?
Squeak – a sudden brake!
"Fuck! Don't you have eyes?"
Li Nian rolled down the window and was about to start the Zouan greeting when he suddenly saw someone jump out in front of the car. It wasn't a drug addict, as drug addicts have rigid bodies and have difficulty moving their limbs. But this person's limbs were obviously still quite flexible, although his eyes were bloodshot and swollen like light bulbs.
The man in the suit desperately pressed on his eyes as if they were about to pop out!
Peng!
The man's eyes really exploded, and white juice splattered all over him, but the man's movements stabilized instead, staring at the bloody holes and beginning to observe the world.
Li Nian took off with a jump! He directly crashed into the man in a suit!
This is no ordinary effect that can be achieved with a biological weapon!
....
"Bang!"
Emily shot Smith, who was chewing on the supervisor.
"Smith, it's just a shift, right? You don't have to eat the supervisor,"
The entire office building was in chaos. Many people had various strange symptoms. Some gradually melted, some began to mutate severely, growing a large number of deformed limbs, while others had various worms crawling out of their bodies.
The smell of blood, rotting flesh and sweat filled the entire company, and blood and internal organs were scattered everywhere.
The whole scene was even more disgusting and real than the most disgusting B-movie.
Just as Emily was turning to leave, the supervisor, who had merged with Smith, lunged at her.
Emily crouched down sharply, and the supervisor flew past her, sending up a cloud of stench and raising Emily's long blonde hair. Then, quickly extending her pale arms, Emily let out an angry roar from the viper pistol, and three consecutive bullets hit the supervisor's head with pinpoint accuracy.
The headless supervisor staggered to his feet, and then, to Emily's shocked gaze, a huge eye opened in the supervisor's chest as it split open.
The cowgirl hesitated before shooting. Three more bullets went straight for the supervisor's giant eye, but the exploded eye grew back in just a few seconds.
Emily knew then that this monster could not be solved with a pistol.
Watching the monster still recovering, Emily slammed open the glass door and headed straight for the fire escape.
...
ORNL Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Professor Hassan, watching the explosion-like data on the instrument, his eyes almost bulging with bloodshot.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, tiny lives are not without evolution, quite the opposite, they have evolved too quickly, so quickly that they have become a completely different kind of life..."
"Professor, run! Many of the lab animals, as well as the lab assistants and security guards, have mutated!" A young researcher, with a tearful voice, pulled Professor Hassan.
"BSL-4-level protection cannot possibly defend against microorganisms, but why did the mutations still spread in the middle of the lab?" Professor Hassan was still mumbling.
The young researcher finally couldn't stand it anymore, and dragged Professor Hassan out under the protection of the two remaining security guards.
"No need to run!" Professor Hassan broke free of his arms. He walked to the landline connected directly to Xia Yanshan. This was a secure line with the highest level of protection. The strong electromagnetic storm only disrupted it for two minutes, and communication was restored.
"Get me the president."
What came through the phone was an unintelligible scream.
But Professor Hassan didn't hang up. He repeatedly dialed different numbers, and finally got through to the Senate President.
"Hello, Professor. Everyone before me in the rankings is gone, so let's cut to the chase."
The young researcher mustered the courage to pick up the weapon on the ground and, together with the security guard next to him, frantically fired at the runaway experimental creature and his former colleagues to buy the professor some time.
"That wasn't just an ordinary electromagnetic storm, it also had something at the neutrino level, I don't know exactly what. But it passed through the entire Earth in the blink of an eye, and at that moment, everyone, every living thing, was given the starting gun for evolution."
"It was indeed man-made... no, it was intelligent."
"What are you talking about, Your Excellency the President of the Senate? Who are they?"
"Three days ago, an unidentified object suddenly appeared outside the solar system and approached the Earth at high speed. It arrived in just two days. We did our best. We, Russia, China and other countries around the world with nuclear and ballistic weapons participated in the interception.
"But we failed. It was like it had no substance. All the weapons passed right through it, and then it entered the Earth's core from the North Pole. At one point, we thought it was an unusual astronomical phenomenon, but then an extremely powerful electromagnetic pulse exploded, almost destroying our modern civilization."
"Professor Hassan, you are the last laboratory we can contact. Please tell me from a professional point of view, and from a responsibility to all mankind and the United States, who is the biggest threat to the United States in this global disaster."
"The unidentified object cannot be attacked at all, so who should we attack?"
"Russia? China? The European Union?..." The Senate Speaker's words were interrupted, as if he had been seriously injured.
"None of the above. Our enemy is the new biosphere. Other countries must be facing the same problem as us. Instead of attacking our own kind, we should attack the biosphere and buy time for the new human race," Professor Hassan roared.
The little mouse covered in armor plating from yesterday was now the size of a calf. It smashed through the 30-centimeter-thick blast-proof glass and slaughtered all the creatures around it. It finally noticed Professor Hassan, who was on the phone.
"Fire!"
The security guard, dutifully doing his job, immediately opened fire on the mouse, but the bullets hit it and could not even penetrate its plate armour.
A cruel gleam flashed in its eyes, and then with a jump it bit off the head of one of the security guards.
"Please, Professor Hassan, we are running out of time,"
the young researcher shouted.
"Your Excellency, President of the Senate, I know what you're thinking. The same catastrophe, you want the American people to have a higher starting point than other countries, and civilization to recover sooner. But please stand on the perspective of humanity and don't attack other countries. This is a competition for the entire human race!"
"Peng"
The last security guard fell, and the mutant rat even looked at the young researcher with a mocking look before leisurely chewing on the last security guard's head.
Professor Hassan finally hung up the phone and noticed it.
"Professor, you go quickly, I will protect you."
"Silly boy, there is no safe place in this world, neutrinos penetrate the entire earth."
The professor walked over to the main console and, in the puzzled gaze of the mutant mouse, activated the self-destruct system.
"A beast is a beast. Having intelligence does not mean having civilization. One more evolution, and you will lose again!"
The Senate President, who had hung up the phone, was faced with an open suitcase containing a nuclear bomb. Several secret agents stood around him with guns, and unintelligible screams could be heard coming from outside the room.
The Xia Yanshan Base, which was impossible to break into, had been breached from the inside.
"Your Excellency, the Senate President, you are now the only one with the authority to use nuclear weapons. Please make a decision soon."
The lower body of the Senate President had already begun to melt, and his aides were standing nearby, anxiously urging him.
"I know, I'm thinking about it, I just didn't expect that we would solve our internal conflicts in this way," the Senate President said with a bitter smile.
All the leaders and colleagues had turned into monsters. The microbes quickly overwhelmed the human body's defense system, forcing all humans to evolve. Anyone whose body could not keep up with this evolution became a monster, and only a few lucky people had bodies that resisted or accommodated the evolved microbes.
Nowadays, civilization has almost collapsed all over the world. For the future of the United States, he must make a decision: whose nuclear weapons should the United States fire at, to destroy its former rivals and allow future generations to stand at a higher starting point, or to destroy the biosphere and make a last stand for humanity.
"Sir, all of Russia's nuclear weapons have been launched, and at least 2,000 are heading straight for us!"
"Sir, strike back," the aide-de-camp pleads.
"It's not Russia that's attacking, their leaders must all be dead, it's a dead hand system that's been activated."
"Activate all nuclear weapons and lock on to all targets according to the plan."
The aide-de-camp quickly starts operating the nuclear weapons to lock on to the targets.
"Wait, leave a few nuclear bombs, and modify the targets to the Amazon rainforest, the Congo basin rainforest, the Siberian taiga, the Great Barrier Reef coral reef system, the Arctic tundra, the Pantanal wetlands, and the Bornean rainforest."
"North Korea, the United Kingdom, France, Israel, and India's nuclear weapons have all been launched!"
"China's nuclear weapons have also been launched. Like ours, some of their nuclear weapons are targeting these ecosystems, and some..."
"And some of them are targeting the powerful ecosystems within their own country."
The speaker's lower body had completely melted, and even his internal organs were about to spill out, but he still managed to start the nuclear weapons launch with the assistance of his staff, trembling.
"Humans, even at the end of the world, they can't forget to fight among themselves..."
