Night falls.
Due to the recent increase in the number of lunatics in the wilderness, and the fact that Polaris has been attacked twice in succession during this period, the city has temporarily implemented a curfew, and no one is allowed to take to the streets after eight o'clock at night. However, this order could not be completely implemented, especially after Pasha did not show up for a long time. Some underground forces in Polaris quietly transported contraband from outside like a carnival.
These contrabands are mainly psychotropic drugs.
The scavenger team has a great demand for them, especially as illegal human body modifications have become more and more common in recent years. Some people have carried out a lot of cheap bionic modifications in order to improve their combat effectiveness. The body functions have not adapted to the bionic limbs, and there are problems with nerve connections. This will cause them to suffer from constant pain and require medication to relieve it.
Another type of people who have a great need for psychotropic drugs are those who have been contaminated by lunatics, and their willpower is not strong enough, and they have begun to experience mild auditory hallucinations.
The madman appeared in the second year after Su Ziyu left.
There was nothing unusual about the lunatic who was first discovered, but his behavior was quite eccentric and eccentric, and he had a certain tendency to violence. There are too many people like this in the wasteland world. Many people have trauma syndrome. The early Wilderness Knights even cannibalized people due to lack of food.
It wasn't until a human gathering place was captured by an infected madman and everyone was slaughtered that people discovered that madness had unknowingly spread in the world.
The spread of madness follows no pattern.
It bloomed almost by leaps and bounds across the entire earth without human contact. Not only in North America, but also in Asia and Europe, traces of madmen began to appear. The major forces mobilized almost immediately and began to study the transmission mechanism of madness. However, their research progress was very slow because people infected by madness could not be detected through conventional means in the early stages.
The first sign of being infected with madness is the occurrence of auditory hallucinations, followed by persistent nightmares, until the person's spirit is completely broken and he falls into madness.
As for the way the madness spreads, no useful clues have been found so far.
Its infection seems to be random. Some people have been in close contact with madmen, and some of them are infected, while others are fine. Some people have been to some dangerous and highly polluted areas, and some of them went crazy on the spot, while some are escaping. Still normal after.
Madness is like an invisible giant web of shadow, gradually covering everyone in it. In the end, some people even became infected with madness because they suspected that they were infected even though they were not infected.
Due to the spread of madness, the progress of rebuilding civilization around the world has stalled.
"The target left the inner city."
In the darkness, a few faint lights flashed through a small three-story building. The man who was secretly monitoring opened the communicator and said quickly: "The people from the Brotherhood are also following her."
Soon, a deep male voice sounded from the communicator: "Find a way to continue to monitor them."
not far away.
A group of fully armed soldiers equipped with exoskeleton power armor got on several armored vehicles, and then the armored vehicles drove all the way out of the city and quickly disappeared into the dark wilderness. But just when these armored vehicles were about to leave the city gate, there was a sudden buzzing sound from the roof of a nearby five-story building, followed by a small black dot flying quickly past, sticking to it silently. On the lower right side of the armored vehicle.
"Didi didi."
A small red dot appeared on the monitor in the man's hand. He turned on the communicator and said, "The tracker has been placed. Do you need to send someone to follow it?"
"I will arrange it." A deep male voice responded quickly.
The convoy ran wildly through the wilderness.
In the leading armored vehicle, Su Ying turned on the communicator next to her ear and said, "Uncle Leon. Will they really follow?"
Zizzi.
After a brief electric sound, a male voice sounded: "If they really have plans for you, they won't give up this opportunity."
Su Ying was still a little worried when she heard this, and whispered: "Some of them are very strong."
"I'm afraid..."
A female chuckle came from the communicator, and then Leon's voice sounded: "It's okay. We brought the little fat guy with us. And this time we also have helpers."
"Evacuate immediately after you arrive at the ambush point."
"We'll take care of the rest."
After realizing that the people in the Antarctic Group had ill intentions towards her, Su Ying immediately chose to seek help from the Brotherhood. At this time, Leon also returned from a mission. While the Antarctic Group was eyeing Su Ying, the Brotherhood was also eyeing this force that had suddenly emerged in recent years.
After following this investigation, even the Brotherhood was shocked, because they actually discovered that the Antarctic Group secretly had deep connections with the academy and the Mechanical Atomic God.
They seem to have a pre-tribulation government background.
There are clues that the destruction of the Southern Cross had something to do with them. Some of the genetic modification data originally brought out by Su Ziyu from the Southern Cross were conducted by a force called the Antarctic Research Institute.
Before the arrival of nuclear winter, government organizations in the old world had concentrated some of their resources and efforts to try to find a way to save everything.
The Antarctic Research Institute was an organization funded by the government and military at the time.
But not long after, a pollution leak occurred in the research institute organized by the government at that time, and all experimental plans were forced to be suspended. The emergence of super aberrations and corpses dealt a devastating blow to everyone. Immediately following the arrival of the most chaotic and darkest period, the wasteland world ushered in a long period of anarchy.
After the zombies appeared, the research institute originally funded by the government went dormant. They moved most of their personnel and materials to the Antarctic and waited for the nuclear winter to pass.
But something even weirder is yet to come.
After the Antarctic Research Institute was closed for a long period of time, activities appeared again, but it was related to the Mechanical Atomic Cult.
There seemed to be a split within them.
Some people at the Antarctic Research Institute have a close relationship with the Mechanical Atomic Cult, and their research direction has changed from science to theology, and they have become a group of elusive mystics.
Initially, the research directions of these institutes were genetic technology, but now these mystics worship an unknown god and study some mysterious spiritual knowledge.
They listen to God's 'gospel' and find real power in the 'gospel'.
Leon's mission this time is to track down something called the "Gospel". There are various signs that the "Gospel" is extremely closely related to the occurrence of the catastrophe. If the Gospels can be found, it may be possible to unravel the real cause of the great catastrophe that year.
This time dealing with the members of the Antarctic Group lurking in Polaris is only a small part of the plan. The real elite troops of the Brotherhood have joined forces with Beidou's advance troops and are planning to raid the mystical base camp near the Atomic Sea.
There are various indications that one of the so-called 'gospels' is located in the sea of atoms.
