Chapter 157: Indestructible Flame and Great Shield

February 2521.
Deep winter, extremely cold.
The snow was flying, the white catkins were empty, like goose feathers.
The lantern lingers.
The night is cold.
By the clean and wet road, a fully equipped disinfection vehicle drove across the cold and slippery ground with a whistle, and the snow chains clapped on the ground.
The white fog accompanied the disinfection car ascended into the air, like a dragon turning over.
On the balcony of the roadside residential area, red lanterns are hanging.
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 tens of thousands of night watchmen wearing isolation suits and guarding the high walls, humans ushered in a peaceful new year.
People hung lanterns that were too late last year.
A family of three in gel coats put on a full face mask and straightened out the masks. The big hands held their small hands and stood on the balcony, igniting the fireworks they didn’t have time to fire last year.
Snapped!
Fireworks exploded in the air.
People began to count silently, and then they extinguished some of their own stars.
The faces that disappeared in the memories, the call that faded away, the oath of never giving up when I cheered my teeth again and again, and the complex emotions were just like fireworks in the sky, fleeting, and finally only left The courage to face the dark sky.
The building opposite sang.
That is Zhong Lei's "Fire".
At this moment of sorrow and solitude but retreat irreversible, mankind has obtained a short period of tranquility, and needs such a song to ignite the flame that will not extinguish but cannot be extinguished in the heart.
But on the other side of tranquility, there are still countless people fighting at the forefront.
The family of three walked back, through the atomization disinfection corridor, back to the room, and turned on the communicator.
"Family communication request, waiting for response..."
Five minutes later, the communication is connected.
The voice of a woman wrapped in a fully enclosed isolation suit appeared.
The clothes on her look a bit like diving suits, with a glass cover above her head.
Despite the automatic ventilation system, she was still sweating.
She is a paramedic fighting on the front line. She has five minutes of rotation and communication time.
She is working at the Central Hospital No. 626, which was established on the edge of the quarantine zone, 1,300 kilometers from the city.
The hospital covers an area of ​​nearly two thousand acres, and the whole body is covered by the shield of the same level at the Mars base. The protective effect is almost seamless, and the bacteria are completely isolated from the shield.
Tens of thousands of critically ill patients were admitted here. Although they are still incurable, they can alleviate the pain of the patients as much as possible, and let them go to death relatively peacefully.
She smiled at the camera, "Dad, Mom. Brother. Are you all okay?"
The family of four has been chatting about this for a while, each talking about daily life, encouraging each other, and talking about who has one less person in the family, and lost another comrade in the nurse's department, and so on.
The communication is sometimes silent and low, sometimes laughter.
Many things, after seeing more, gradually feel numb.
But this numbness is not derogatory, but everyone's heart becomes more indestructible.
As the family of four chatted, the nurse suddenly wore a panicked shout.
The nurse looked back and then turned her face pale.
"Parent! Little brother! You are going now! Hurry up and go!"
The father of the family asked: "Where to go?"
The nurse thought for a while, "Go far into the continent away from the wall, how far?"
The mother asked, "Where is the end?" Are we going to pick you up? What happened?"
"S bacteria has mutated and evolved again. It can use mice as a carrier and will diffuse in the air as the rats breathe. Just now, news came from the hinterland surveillance hospital that suddenly broke out in a completely non-infected residential community. A large number of patients. The surveillance hospital is deeper than your residence in the safe area! There is also a concentrated infection in the accommodation area of ​​our central hospital. It is an old book that has been sick. The leader is screening the central air-conditioning system. Infection data, results are immediately available. I don’t have time to elaborate, you go."
Because the incubation period of the super bacteria named S bacteria is too hidden, it is difficult to detect in the early stage, and its infectivity is extremely terrible. Now the method of screening patients is simple and rude.
Whether it has been exposed to air with bacteria.
Yes, then it must have been infected.
No, then it's okay.
The mother cried while shaking her head, "No, we are going to pick you up."
The nurse looked back at the family and said slowly and firmly: "It can't be controlled anymore. It's out of control. There are too many rats on the planet. Although the medical conditions in the central hospital are very good, they have become isolated islands in the short term. We have not The supply line is here. You come to me and you die."
As he was saying, the little nurse was shocked, as if he had received some news.
"what happened?"
Her family members questioned one after another.
She shook her head, "It's okay, Mom and Dad, go quickly. If you don't go, you'll be too late. When you get to the rear, someone will come up with a solution. You must live and don't let me sacrifice for nothing!"
Snapped!
She turned off the communication, then turned and walked back.
She said to the head nurse through the intercom: "Sister Lin, I have absorbed the air in the dormitory area. I have been diagnosed and do not have any fluke."
Yes, once it is determined that you have breathed the air with bacteria, you have already waited for the death sentence, only two months of life.
The other side of the walkie talkie was the silence of the head nurse, Lin.
It didn't take long for the voice of the middle-aged woman opposite to sound, "Me too."
She asked, "Sister Lin, what shall we do?"
Sister Lin thought for a few minutes, and then opened the broadcast of the whole hospital, saying the famous "626 Manifesto".
"What not to do! Continue to hold your ground! Before we die, we can't take off this isolation suit! All infected medical personnel regularly go to the disinfection area to replace the isolation suit energy package and filter chamber. Infected and non-infected persons, From now on, eat and live separately."
"As long as we don't take off the isolation suit, the bacteria can't run out of the isolation suit, so no more people will be infected! We can move, so we can do things! Several patients in the critically ill area have already had metastatic disease. Signs, this is unprecedented."
"We have to prove that our treatment plan can improve the survival rate of critical illness. The research results of our hospital are related to the confidence of human beings to persevere! Therefore, I will work, work until I can not move, until we exhaust the last one Particle bombs. I hope everyone is the same as me! We will not fight back!"
All the medical staff who heard these words, whether infected or uninfected, agreed in unison.
"Don't fight back!"
The history book failed to write down the name, and the words of the head nurse who was only known to the world by Lin inspired all medical staff and volunteers who were built in the hinterland of the border and the area of ​​separation, and even in the middle zone.
Everyone roared in his heart, "The battle is not going back."
The infected person no longer undresses, only wears a shirt and burns the last drop of blood.
Or, these people rushed out of the hospital on their own initiative, killing one of the mammals visible to the naked eye with the weapon in their hands, just to minimize the pressure on the rear.
The uninfected person still does not panic all day long, but stays quietly in his post, doing what he should do.
There is a research institute, which disappeared in an instant because of an undetected one.
Everyone was equipped with an alarm clock counting down their lives.
Amazingly, no one was in a panic, everyone became relieved, and An Ning returned to the laboratory peacefully, continuing his research.
Even the originally cumbersome and cautious analysis and laboratory sampling work has become simple. Spit a sip of your own, that is, a large number of fresh samples.
This research institute with thousands of people, in such a peaceful atmosphere, witnessed that everyone has completed the journey of the last two months of life, and provided a lot of research for future generations on why S bacteria is so abnormal. Research reference.
Two months later, a fire ignited from the depths of the base and burned everything. That was the last self-destruction button pressed by the researcher who closed his eyes.
The war has become even more tragic.
The S bacteria that humans face again becomes more fierce, more cunning, and more difficult to prevent.
Later research showed that this time the S. bacterium evolved this time, and its carrier was not just more mice, but any mammal!
Even more distraught, it is the S bacteria that, after infecting other mammals, will develop disease, but it is not lethal at all, and will only make these animals more manic and active.
Bats can fly in the sky, mice can escape, cetaceans can cross the sea, and the defense of the high wall has changed from a solid ruin to a virtual one.
This ghost thing seems to be wise, and its purpose is to destroy mankind.
The human front is losing ground again.
Chaos did not come as expected. Although human beings have been retreated in such a tragic defeat, they have always been orderly.
When everyone understands that there is no way back, the infection will not only panic, but become relieved.
Groups of infected people have given up protective measures and rushed out of smaller and smaller safe areas into larger and larger isolation areas.
They used the embers of life to accomplish many things.
Manually dig the isolation zone to build a ditch.
Ignite the block of burning earth.
The infected engineer returned to the factory, re-debugged the part of the automatic operation program that had a slight BUG, ​​and then set the time of the automatic cycle to be infinite.
The infected production line workers, dragging their exhausted bodies, returned to the running enterprise, replaced the nuclear fission battery pack that only consumed half, and replaced a new set of battery packs, which can be used for another 20 years.
Or, these people are clamoring to replace solar panels, and putting brand new motor oil on slightly rusty machines...
The teacher returned to the deserted school and turned it out of his desk. It was ready, but he hadn't had time to send the final exam papers to the students.
The traffic police returned to their post and told them to rush to drive and look for infected hunters of mammals.
Then, when these people have done all the things they used to do in the past, then they each took one of these weapons, carrying a simple suitcase, and embarked on the road of killing.
Sorry, neighbors on earth.
In the past, we have protected you.
But now, we have no choice.
Humans are always selfish.
If we must choose between the destruction of humanity and the destruction of the earth, everyone will choose the second option without hesitation.
Countless martyrs used their lives for the last two months to build a line of defense in the isolation zone and security zone.
Winter comes another spring.
This year, mankind lost 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 remained.
But in the end, humans have stabilized their position, relying on the high-temperature interruption zone that is enough to melt the rock.
The high heat occlusion zone ignited the inexhaustible flame of human beings.
With the super-high magnetic field shields from the top to the stratosphere, a new safety zone was established.
The magnetic field propped up the last giant shield of mankind.
With the never-ending ~EbookFREE.me~, only the "Morning Breeze" resounding in people's hearts.
Humans are still struggling in dormancy and want to fight for a new life.
But the objective situation is indeed more dangerous.
Nearly 8 billion people are crowded in less than one-third of the territory, and the population density has risen sharply.
The inexhaustible energy and materials that were originally available are gradually becoming scarcer.
If super bacteria once again evolved at this time, with the population density of human beings today, it would really be the end.
However, after two years of hard struggle, the surviving willpower has become particularly strong.
Humans decided to counterattack.
It must be, and only can be found, the solution to the problem before the super bacteria evolves again.
Otherwise, it is perishing!
