More than twenty years ago, the war broke out.
The first nuclear bomb exploded in Europe, followed immediately by Wanghai, and NATO declared war on Pan-Asian cooperation. Everything happened so suddenly. Although the economic crisis and energy crisis were foreseeable troubles, no one equated them with war.
Human civilization has been at peace for too long, ever since the Cold War.
Like other areas of Pan-Asian cooperation, this resort in the Datun Mountains received a war alert within an hour after the Holy Shield system collapsed in Wanghai City. However, for resorts far away from the city, it is almost impossible to rush to the shelter in the city within an hour.
Despair fell on everyone.
Facing the doomed outcome of death, everyone was at a loss and could do nothing but cry and pray.
Just then, a man stood up.
He claims to be an intelligence agent for Pan-Asian cooperation, guarding the secrets of underground nuclear power facilities. As one of the strategic reserves, the Qingshui Nuclear Power Plant is designed to be at a quasi-shelter level. Although it does not reserve living supplies, it can withstand nuclear strikes.
"... Then, under his leadership, people moved the entire resort's food, medicine, tents and other daily necessities into the Qingshui Nuclear Power Plant." Zhao Tianyu recounted the origin of the story.
"What does this have to do with that fog demon?" Jiang Chen asked.
"After that, something unbelievable happened." Zhao Tianyu shrugged and continued, "You must have heard of genetic medicine."
"That's right."
"Some lucky people can unlock special abilities through genetic potions. The more common ones include madness, quick healing, visual enhancement, etc., while there are also some more special abilities that even reach the realm of things that cannot be explained by nature..."
"For example, that fog demon?" Jiang Chen frowned, "... I thought it was a different species."
"No, he is a human being, and he was once a great man. He made the right choice between duty and humanity, but in the end because of something, he failed to be forgiven by people, and was criticized by the survivors. Expelled." Zhao Tianyu smiled.
"What unforgivable thing did he do?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Thirteen years ago, the seawater pipeline that provided food for the survivors of the nuclear power plant entered the mire crabs. They had never seen these ghosts before, and they were beaten away by a mire crab that was almost fainting from hunger. Not only did they lose their Deuterium extraction plant, and also abandoned the workers' dormitory. In order to drive away these mire crabs, he injected illegal drugs that failed clinical trials, forcibly unlocked the hidden genetic code, drove away the mire crabs occupying the pipeline, and destroyed their nest."
"Is there anything unforgivable in this?" Jiang Chen smiled.
"The unforgivable thing is later. Illegal drugs are not without side effects. While unlocking the genetic code, the drug also caused a mutation in his V127 gene." After a pause, Zhao Tianyu smiled, lowered his voice and continued, "V127 gene mutant, also known as the cannibal gene."
"Did he eat people?" Jiang Chen looked slightly moved.
"No, but do you think a group of cowardly people would allow a potential ogre to live next door to them? What's more, he has unlocked the ability to stealth and is simply a natural killer. And in life, he is indeed It actually showed his desire for human flesh and blood." Zhao Tianyu smiled with a cruel expression.
At this point in the story, Jiang Chen could already guess most of what happened next.
The hero who originally saved everyone was expelled by the saved. After being kicked out of the nuclear power plant, he faced the deserted ruins alone in despair. He exiled himself in the radioactive fallout and became a cannibal in the true sense, hunting everyone who broke into this place, or Humans planning to escape from here.
"That's all I know. If you want to know more about him, you can ask Dr. Mike at the clinic. He prepared the illegal drugs that Wu Mo injected. He is a Portuguese foreigner, but he speaks in Chinese Not bad, people are easy to get along with." Zhao Tianyu said with a smile.
"I will." Jiang Chen nodded and said.
"It's getting late. I'll arrange a room for you."
"I have to go down the mountain as soon as possible. There are people waiting for me at the bottom of the mountain." Jiang Chen shook his head.
"It's very dangerous at night. If the fog demon is just a ghost during the day, then he is an evil ghost at night." Zhao Tianyu said seriously.
After considering all the pros and cons, Jiang Chen finally accepted his kindness. Although there is no way to communicate with the outside world through radio in the underground facility, he does not need a radio to communicate with Lin Ling, but uses Crane particle waves that can even travel through the timeline.
Arriving at the room provided by Zhao Tianyu, Jiang Chen checked every corner of the room and after confirming that there were no bugs or anything like that, he immediately contacted Lin Ling. As soon as the call was connected, Lin Ling's anxious face appeared in the holographic image.
"Where are you now? Why haven't you come down from the mountain yet?"
"I have entered the nuclear power plant... The situation on the mountain is a bit strange. I can't explain it to you for a while. In short, it is very dangerous here, so don't come up yet."
When she heard that there was danger on the mountain, Lin Ling's face immediately turned pale.
"Well, you won't be in danger on the mountain, right?"
"No, I'm more worried about you... Well, you and Chen Guangning go back to the fortress first, and then I'll find you after I solve the problem here."
After explaining the matter, Jiang Chen turned off the holographic image, ended the communication, and walked out of the room.
…
Living underground all year round and not exposed to sunlight for a long time, the people here have very white skin. However, this kind of whiteness is not only unattractive, but also gives people an unhealthy and morbid look. Walking in the corridor of this underground residence, Jiang Chen noticed that the people around him were looking at him with vigilant eyes.
There was curiosity and probing in that gaze, but more of it was still distrust.
There is only one clinic in the entire Qingshui Nuclear Power Plant. It didn't take much effort for Jiang Chen to find it and meet Mike.
As soon as he saw Jiang Chen, Mike immediately recognized him from outside based on his skin color, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face.
"I guess you're not here to see a doctor. But before you ask me questions, I want to ask, how did you get here?"
Jiang Chen repeated the rhetoric he used to Zhao Tianyu before.
After listening to what he said, Mike nodded clearly, put down the pen he had been spinning in his hand, and sighed.
"That's it... Sure enough, not all hatred can fade over time."
"I feel like what drives him is more of a beastly instinct than hatred."
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, something strange flashed in Mike's eyes, and an expression of interest gradually appeared on his face.
"Oh? Can you tell me in detail?"
Hearing Mike's words, Jiang Chen smiled helplessly.
It was obviously me who came to inquire about information, but why did I end up being the one being questioned...
Patiently, Jiang Chen selectively recounted the situation during the fight with the Fog Demon. After listening to his retelling, the expression on Mike's face gradually became serious.
After a moment of silence, he spoke slowly.
"If I guess correctly, he should have unlocked the genetic code to the third stage." (.) 8
