Chapter 159
February 2521.
Deep winter, extremely cold.
Heavy snow, white catkins in the air, such as goose feathers.
The lights linger.
The night was cold.
Along the clean and wet roadside, there are armed disinfection vehicles driving through the cold and muddy ground with the whistle, and the anti-skid chains click on the ground.
The white fog rose into the sky with the disinfection vehicle, just like a giant dragon turning over.
Red lanterns are hanging on the balcony in the roadside residential area.
It's Chinese New Year.
In the midst of busyness and panic, relying on the high walls and barbed wire across the continent, as well as the efforts of thousands of night watchers wearing isolation clothes and guarding the high walls, mankind has rarely ushered in a peaceful new year.
People hung lanterns that they didn't hang in time last year.
Three members of a family in gel coats adjusted their masks, took care of their masks, stood on the balcony with their big hands holding their small hands, and lit the fireworks that they didn't have time to set off last year.
Pop!
Fireworks exploded in the air.
People began to count silently, and several stars of their own were extinguished in their hearts.
The faces that disappeared in the memories, the gradually faded calls, the vows of gnashing teeth and never giving up when self encouragement again and again, the complex emotions are just like fireworks in the air, flash and die, and finally only the courage to face the dark sky.
The building opposite sounded singing.
That's Zhong Lei's bath fire.
In such a sad and lonely but irresistible moment, mankind has obtained a short peace, and needs such a song to ignite the flame that will not be extinguished but can not be extinguished in his heart.
But on the other side of tranquility, there are still countless people at the forefront of the front line.
The family of three walked back through the atomized disinfection corridor, returned to the room and turned on the communicator.
"Home communication request, waiting for response..."
Five minutes later, communication is connected.
The voice of a woman wrapped in a fully enclosed isolation suit appeared.
Her clothes look a bit like a diving suit with a glass cover over her head.
Although there was an automatic ventilation system, she was still sweating.
She is a nurse fighting on the front line. She has five minutes of rotation and communication time.
She works at No. 626 Central Hospital on the edge of the isolation zone, 1300 kilometers away from the city.
The hospital covers an area of nearly 2000 mu. The whole body is covered by the same level shield of Mars base. The protective effect is almost seamless, completely isolating bacteria from the shield.
Tens of thousands of critically ill patients have been treated here. Although they are still incurable, they can alleviate the pain of patients as much as possible and let them die relatively peacefully.
She smiled at the camera, "Dad, mom. Little brother. Are you all right?"
The four members of the family chatted about it, talking about their daily life and encouraging each other. They also talked about whose family has lost another person in the family, another comrade in arms in the nurse's Department, and so on.
Communication is sometimes silent and low, sometimes laughter.
Many things, see more, and gradually feel numb.
But this numbness is not derogatory, but everyone's heart has become more indestructible.
While a family of four were chatting, the nurse suddenly shouted panic behind her.
The nurse looked back and listened. Then she turned pale.
"Parents! Little brother! You go now! Hurry!"
The father of the family asked, "where are you going?"
The nurse thought, "go deep into the mainland far away from the wall, how far!"
The mother asked, "where is the end? Are we going to pick you up? What happened?"
"S bacteria have mutated and evolved. They can take mice as carriers, and will be dispersed in the air with the breath of mice. Just now, a message came from the monitoring hospital in the hinterland. A large number of patients suddenly broke out in a completely uninfected residential community. The monitoring hospital is deeper than your residential area into the safe area! Concentrated infection also broke out in the accommodation area of our central hospital , that's an old book that's already sick. The leader is screening the infected data of the central air conditioning system and will give the results immediately. I don't have time to elaborate. You go quickly. "
Because the incubation period of the super bacteria named s bacteria is too hidden, it is difficult to detect in the initial stage, and its infectivity is extremely terrible. Now the method of screening patients is very simple and rough.
Have you ever been exposed to bacteria laden air.
Yes, then it must have been infected.
No, that's fine.
Mother cried and shook her head. "No, we're going to pick you up."
The nurse looked back at her family and said slowly and firmly, "there are too many rats on earth. Although the medical conditions of the central hospital are very good, they have become an isolated island in a short time. We have no supply line. If you come to me, you will die."
Just then, the little nurse was shocked, as if she had received some news.
"What's the matter?"
Her family asked one after another.
She shook her head. "It's all right, mom and dad. Go quickly. If you don't go again, it's too late. When you get to the rear, someone will figure out a way. You must live and don't let me sacrifice in vain!"
Pop!
She turned off the communication and turned back.
She said to the head nurse through the walkie talkie: "sister Lin, I have absorbed the air with bacteria in the dormitory area. I have been diagnosed and do not have any luck."
Yes, once you are sure that you have breathed the germ laden air, you will have to wait. If you are sentenced to death, you will only have two months of life.
On the other side of the walkie talkie was the silence of sister Lin, the head nurse.
Before long, the voice of the middle-aged woman opposite sounded, "me too."
She asked, "sister Lin, what shall we do?"
Sister Lin thought for a few minutes, then turned on the radio of the whole hospital and said the famous "626 declaration".
"Not much to do! Continue to hold the position! We can't take off this isolation suit before we die! All infected medical personnel regularly go to the disinfection area to replace the isolation suit, energy package and filter bin. The infected and uninfected people will eat and live separately from now on."
"As long as we don't take off the isolation clothes, bacteria can't run out of the isolation clothes, so no more people will be infected! We can move, so we can do things! Several patients in the severe area have shown signs of transition, which is unprecedented."
"We must prove that our treatment plan can improve the survival rate of severe cases. The research results of our hospital are related to the confidence of human beings to persevere! Therefore, I will work until I can't move until we run out of the last bullet. I hope everyone is the same as me! We will fight to the death!"
All the medical staff who heard this, whether infected or uninfected, agreed in unison.
"Fight to death!"
The history book could not write down his name, but the words of the head nurse surnamed Lin, who was known by the world, inspired all the medical personnel and volunteers built in the hinterland of the border and isolation area, even in the middle.
Everyone roared in their hearts, "fight to death".
Infected people will no longer strip, wear war robes and burn the last drop of blood.
Or, these people take the initiative to rush out of the hospital and kill one mammal visible to the naked eye with their weapons, just to reduce the pressure on the rear as much as possible.
Uninfected people are still not in constant panic, but stay quietly at their posts and do whatever they should do.
There was a research institute that was suddenly destroyed because of an oversight.
Every head is equipped with an alarm clock for the countdown to life.
Strangely, no one was flustered, but everyone became relieved and returned to the laboratory peacefully to continue their research.
Even the originally troublesome and careful analysis, testing and sampling work has become simple. If you spit, that is a large number of fresh samples.
This research institute with thousands of people has witnessed everyone's journey of the last two months of life in such a peaceful and quiet atmosphere, and provided a large number of research references for future generations to study why s bacteria are so abnormal.
Two months later, a fire ignited from the depths of the base and burned everything. It was the last self destruction button pressed by the researcher who closed his eyes.
The war has become more tragic.
The s bacteria faced by human beings have once again become more vicious, cunning and difficult to prevent.
Later studies showed that during this evolution of s bacteria, its carrier was not only mice, but any mammals!
What is even more insane is that although s bacteria will become ill after infecting other mammals, they will not die at all, which will only make these animals more manic and active.
Bats can fly, mice can escape, whales can cross the sea, and high wall defense has changed from solid to useless.
This ghost seems to have wisdom, and its purpose is to destroy mankind.
The human front has retreated again.
Chaos did not arrive as scheduled. Although mankind has been defeated in such a tragic defeat, it has always been in order.
When everyone knows there is no way out, being infected will not panic, but become relieved.
Batch after batch of infected people gave up protective measures, rushed out of smaller and smaller safety zones and entered larger and larger isolation zones.
They have accomplished many things with the embers of their lives.
Manually excavate the isolation belt and build ditches.
Ignite the blocking belt that burns the earth.
The infected engineer returned to the factory, re debugged the part with slight bug in the automatic operation program, and then set the automatic cycle operation time to infinity.
The infected production line workers, dragging their tired bodies, returned to the automatic operation enterprises, replaced the nuclear fission battery pack that consumed only half, and replaced a new set of battery packs, which can last another 20 years.
Or, these people replace solar panels and rub new engine oil on slightly rusty machines
The teacher returned to the deserted school and turned out the final examination papers that had already been prepared but had not been given to the students in time.
The traffic police returned to their posts and told them to drive around in a hurry to find infected hunters of mammals.
Then, when these people finished all the things they used to do in the past, they took one kind of weapons, carried simple bags and embarked on the road of killing.
Sorry, neighbors on earth.
In the past, we protected you.
But now, we have no choice.
Human beings are always selfish.
If we must choose between the destruction of mankind and the destruction of the earth, everyone will choose the second option without hesitation.
Countless martyrs used their last two months of life to build a line of defense in the isolation zone and the security zone.
Another winter goes and spring comes.
This year, mankind lost two fifths of its population and one third of its territory.
Compared with before the cataclysm, mankind has only half of its population and even less than one third of its territory.
But in the end, humans stabilized and relied on high heat blocking zones that were enough to melt rocks.
The high heat blocking zone ignited the immortal flame of mankind.
With the ultra-high magnetomotive field shield from the upper stratosphere, a new safety zone has been established.
The magnetic field supports the last giant shield of the human sky.
With the "morning wind" that never stops, it only rings through people's hearts.
Human beings are still struggling in dormancy and want to fight for a new life.
But the objective situation is indeed becoming more and more dangerous.
Nearly 8 billion people are crowded in less than one third of the territory, and the population density has risen sharply.
Originally inexhaustible energy and materials have gradually become more scarce.
At this time, if the superbacteria evolve in stages again, with the current population density of human beings, it is really the end.
However, after two years of hard struggle, the willpower of those who survived became particularly strong.
Mankind decided to counterattack.
We must and can only find a solution to the problem before superbacteria evolve again.
Otherwise, it will perish!
