Chapter 252 The second period of large-scale activity of monsters
……
Sun Hang, who had been busy all night, did not go home. Instead, he borrowed a sleeping bag from Yang Qi and made do with it on the sofa in the office - in Sun Hang's original words, "Director Yang, you are working overtime." Sometimes the sound of typing on the keyboard can help you sleep better than white noise.”
When Sun Hang opened his eyes again, the time displayed on his bracelet was suddenly close to noon. He raised his head and saw Yang Qi sitting behind the desk opposite, eating a lunch box with a dull expression, while the other person The unopened lunch box was placed on the coffee table in front of the sofa.
"Why do you have such a stern face? Something happened to Jiang Yu?" Sun Hang slipped out of the warm sleeping bag and put on his coat.
Yang Qi raised her head, glanced at Sun Hang, and said slowly: "Your mobile phone can connect to the internal network of Tianshu Tower. You can see for yourself."
"Huh?"
Sun Hang doubtfully took out his mobile phone from his coat pocket and connected to the Tianshu Tower's internal network.
The headline of the important news section of the intranet clearly read: "At 6:27 yesterday evening, the death aurora of the strange object (temporary number B 77) landed in Baikal City."
"Baikal City?" Sun Hang repeated the place name, "Why does it sound familiar?"
"The capital of the Siberian Autonomous State, the Xiazhou Federation is the largest city on the East Siberian Plain, with a population of 9.2 million." Yang Qi stopped her chopsticks.
Sun Hang clicked on the news, which started with a few shocking photos - the gorgeous aurora fell from the sky, burning everything it touched, and the entire city turned into a huge sea of fire.
The photo seems to have been taken from a distant mountain. From a bird's-eye view, you can clearly see the tragic situation in the city... In the face of this sudden natural disaster, no one can be spared... Not even the bones of the victims can be left behind.
"The falling aurora lasted in the city for forty-five seconds and then disappeared." Yang Qi added from the side.
The next photo is the scene after the city of Baikal was ravaged by the aurora - the traces of human civilization were almost completely erased, leaving only a charred pit. In the pit, some areas even appeared in There are signs of vitrification.
"It looks like... it seems like it was hit by a Tsar bomb." Sun Hang said.
"According to the analysis of Tianshu Tower, the essence of Yi 77 is a plasma with a temperature of more than 17 million degrees Celsius... You can almost think of it as a small sun falling in Baikal City." Yang Qi said, "Nothing can withstand such ultra-high temperatures. Before Yi Qiqi actually came into contact with Baikal City, the city's buildings were already burned to ashes."
"Aurora usually only appears in the sky at an altitude of several hundred kilometers." Yang Lian opened the office door and placed several black folders on her sister's desk, "But Yi Qi-seven is different. , it is not an aurora at all, but a phenomenon similar to an aurora... It is summer, and the aurora cannot be seen even in Siberia.”
"Are you paying attention to this matter too?" Sun Hang glanced at Yang Lian and asked.
"No one in the institute is paying attention to this matter now." Yang Lian said in a deep voice, "The threat of Yi Qi-seven is much higher than that of Yong Ye... After all, the latter will not let a city change in just a few dozen seconds. Evaporated inside. ”
"After Yi 77 disappeared, Tianshu Tower sent many teams into the former Baikal City area to investigate. However, without exception, all humans who entered the area were infected by the mysterious creature meme, and the infected were not immune. ... That place has become a highly dangerous contaminated area, a real 'dead place'"
"It sounds like the radiation zone left after a nuclear bomb exploded." Sun Hang said subconsciously.
"Absolutely, but the memetic contaminated area is far more dangerous than the radiation area." Yang Lian sighed, "Those teams that entered the contaminated area carried the top protective equipment and anti-infective drugs, but it was completely useless."
The "anti-infectious drugs" mentioned by Yang Lian are special drugs used by humans to prevent memetic infections. Its essence is the product of reverse editing of meme fragments. Within a period of time after taking it, it can neutralize the viruses that fall into the human body. Weird memes... But there is no panacea in this world that can cure all diseases, and anti-infective drugs cannot be neutralized by all memes.
"It seems that this area should be classified as an occupied area." Sun Hang said, "The pollution is so serious, even if it can be recovered, it will lose the meaning of reconstruction."
"The key point is not that..." Yang Qi sighed, "It would be fine if it was just a single monster disaster, but the problem is..."
"For what?" Sun Hang asked.
"Baikal City is located in the northeastern corner of the federal territory. It was destroyed under the ravages of Yi 77; while Tianfu City is located in the southwest corner of the federal territory. Under the shroud of eternal night, its future is uncertain... You know what this means What?" Yang Qi said seriously.
"It means...the Federation now has sores on its head and pus on its soles - it's rotten?"
"It means that the second period of large-scale activity of monsters... may be coming." Yang Qi sighed, "The end of the first period of large-scale activity of monsters is that only the Xiazhou Federation is left in human civilization all over the world. Such a single seedling... If the first active period is extended for several decades, I am afraid that not even the Xiazhou Federation will be left.”
"Are you trying to say that human civilization is about to end?" Sun Hang blinked.
"I didn't say that..." Yang Qi glared at Sun Hang, "At the end of the first period of large-scale activity of monsters, the frequency of monster activity dropped significantly. That kind of super monster was so destructive that it could destroy a city instantly. The strange things also disappeared, and human civilization ushered in a breather. A chance to rest... During this period of time, although there were invasions of monsters from time to time, super monsters like Yi 77 never appeared at all... I am very worried that this time it happened in Baikal City The incident is just the beginning..."
"I think we should be lucky." Sun Hang suddenly said.
"Luckily...why?" Yang Lian was stunned for a moment and asked immediately.
"According to the principle that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, since Tianfu City has been shrouded in eternal night, the probability of a super monster like Yi Qiqi coming to Tianfu City will be much smaller... It seems that Tianfu City is the first unlucky guy. In fact, Tianfu City picked the 'lower lot' that wasn't that bad among a lot of lottery tickets. ”
"..." Yang Qi pursed her lips. She wanted to complain about Sun Hang's fallacy, but when she thought about it carefully, what this guy said seemed to make some sense...
This is a bit like the "crater theory" - on a battlefield with heavy artillery fire, the probability of two artillery shells landing in the same place is very low. It is for this reason that the crater that was just blown up by the artillery shell is actually being replaced by another shell. After coming down for a while, it will become a relatively safe hiding place. If monsters invade the control area of human civilization and require "division of troops", then in the Shuzhou area, it is obvious that "Yong Ye" is responsible for the "main attack" - if super monsters are to be invested in the future, the super monsters will be deployed. It is obviously a "waste of troops" to put the monsters in the Shuzhou area...
"Damn it, I actually think what you said makes sense." Yang Lian gritted his teeth and said, "It must be because of my lack of sleep..."
"Your underdeveloped breasts may also be due to lack of sleep." Sun Hang joked, "But your sister obviously stays up much more late at night than you do, so why won't she be affected?"
Sun Hang looked at the two sisters. They were obviously about the same height, fat and thin. How could one have the ambition of a D or even close to an E, while the other could barely even reach a B?
Could it be a genetic mutation?
"It's already this time, how can you still be in the mood to make such a joke?" Yang Lian said angrily.
"It's precisely because this time has come that I have to make this kind of joke." Sun Hang said, "Worrying unfoundedly will not help change the status quo, nor will sighing with a straight face... If you are really nervous, I suggest you go It might be a lot more comfortable to hit the sandbag in the gym for a while.”
"I don't have that time." Yang Qi said, "But you are right about one thing. Random thoughts will not help the current situation... According to you, Tianfu City will be attacked by super evil forces in the future. The city with the lowest probability of being attacked by an object... It seems that Tianshu Tower has set up a comprehensive talent training base here..."
"Was it wrong?" Yang Lian answered.
"No, it's not a surprise." Yang Qi quickly denied her sister's statement, "Mr. Pei must have anticipated the coming of the second large-scale active period of strange things... Instead of setting up the training base in places that may suffer from things like It would be better to put the city hit by super monsters like Yi 77 to Shuzhou, which has been invaded by Yongye... As expected of Mr. Pei..."
"You're a little bit enlightened." Sun Hang glanced at her, "Old Man Pei's original idea was to use the Yongye environment to train outstanding front-line talents. If it was really to avoid the attack of super monsters, what would he do? Why not just move the entire Tianshu Tower to Tianfu City?”
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Regardless of the reason, the construction of the comprehensive talent training base must be accelerated..." Yang Qi paused for a moment, and then muttered in a voice that Sun Hang could barely hear, "What if Chunming City is attacked by a super monster... …”
"Then we will really become the last hope of human civilization." Sun Hang continued her words, "Maybe what we are holding in our hands is the script of a savior hero."
"I hope this day never comes..." Yang Qi murmured.
"Then don't set this flag." Sun Hang glanced at the cold lunch box on the coffee table and took out the big chicken drumstick inside, "Here, I'll give you a drumstick, and I'll continue to fuck you after eating it." It’s a job.”
"I've had my meal."
"Eat more, you will be more energetic when you stay up late." Sun Hang couldn't help but stuff the chicken drumstick into Yang Qi's mouth, and then pushed open the office door.
"You...where are you going?" Yang Qi took the chicken leg out of her mouth and asked.
"Go to the construction site." Sun Hang said without looking back, "Now that we have talked about it to this point, we have to be fully prepared, right? What if we really achieve that unlucky 'last hope'? You can’t just lie flat on your back, right?”
To be honest, in Sun Hang's heart, he still wanted to show off.
But if human beings are completely destroyed, even if he can survive... then the world will probably become extremely boring, right?
Sun Hang doesn't like weird things. They either can't communicate or like to play riddles. In comparison, he still prefers to deal with humans.
What's more, that old man Pei from Tianshu Tower still owes him an all-you-can-eat buffet... If a super monster destroys Chunming City, wouldn't it be equivalent to overturning his dining table?
Can you fucking bear this?
……
……
Siberian Autonomous State, 40 kilometers south of the original Baikal city area.
A whole row of modular barracks has been built on the tundra. Countless vehicles and vehicles are coming in and out of the camp. The noise of helicopter propeller blades seems to never stop. Steel structure towers have been erected one after another. , a huge bowl-shaped radar antenna was lifted into the air by a drone, and then engineers installed it on the top of the tower.
The fisherman standing on a watchtower looked at the busy soldiers in the barracks and couldn't help but sigh.
He couldn't help but feel a little lucky, because he couldn't save much money on weekdays...
He originally planned to bring his family to Baikal from a port city in the Far East when he had saved enough money... But what happened more than ten hours ago made the fisherman sigh to himself... It turns out that he spends money lavishly, sometimes Not a bad thing either.
Thirty minutes ago, the seventh contaminated area exploration team "lost contact" with the headquarters - the last image returned by the drone of the forward observation post was that the members of the exploration team were running like crazy in the contaminated area. As he ran, things kept falling from his body... The things that fell seemed to be rotten flesh that had fallen off the body, but these rotten flesh seemed to have turned into a brand new life form. They were squirming on the ground, facing each other. His 'original owner' was hot on his heels.
The fisherman turned on his cell phone and took a look at the list of the exploration team. He felt that there would be nothing wrong even if he changed the representation of those MIA to KIA... It was impossible for them to come back alive, absolutely impossible.
The current maximum time limit for ordinary people to enter the contaminated area is thirty-seven minutes - that guy found out that he had become an infected person at thirty-eight minutes, and then his consciousness fell into chaos at forty-two minutes. Forty-five minutes At that time, he took the initiative to cut off the communication with the headquarters, and then at forty-nine minutes, he used the weapon he carried to blow up the observation drone following him.
As for the hunters... they have currently sent a total of six hunters into the contaminated area - two of them have turned into skeletons, two of them have completely turned into humanoid monsters, and two of them have turned into strange pits. Integrated into one.
"The exploration team... might as well be called the death squad." The fisherman murmured, "No, it should be the death squad."
The headquarters has decided not to send personnel to the contaminated area for the time being... but even drones have difficulty reaching the core area of the original Baikal city.
