Theon's trump card allowed him to quickly regain the position of union chairman. In the following time, information about various conditions on the surface poured in like snowflakes. The seriousness of the situation has exceeded Theon's estimate.
All members of the first lineup have died in battle, including a hundred members and the captain Green who has a fifth level ability. For Remut, this was a great loss, and Theon couldn't help but scold Jonok for his stupidity. After receiving reports of surface formations, Jonok refused a request to open the base entrance to allow soldiers and civilians to enter. Jonok naturally dared not do this because he was afraid of death. In fact, at the beginning of the zombie attack, at least half of the soldiers and civilians could have survived if the second and third formations were dispatched for cover.
But now, even if Theon wanted to, it was too late. The first column was completely wiped out, and most of the civilians were killed or injured. The rest either hid or fled into the wilderness. The living corpses have already completed the work of cleaning up the personnel on the ground, and are currently entering the stage of besieging the city. Theon now opened the entrance to the base, and what he ushered in was not civilians but a large number of living corpses. Naturally, he would not do such a stupid thing, but he gave Pera an order to put Jonok in prison.
Then, an hour later, Theon gave a speech outside the union hall. The remaining 2,000 citizens of Remut were basically present. Looking at these panicked faces, Theon said to Pella silently: "These poor people need a savior."
Leaving these words lingering in Pella's ears, Theon strode out of the union hall.
In the square outside the hall, everyone's eyes fell on Theon. Theon stepped forward and said loudly: "My dear brothers and sisters, I believe you also know what happened now. Yes, our beloved homeland is being trampled by the dead. Just now, I have received a definite The data. On the surface, overnight, all the soldiers in the first row died in battle. They are respectable people, even in the second before death, they never left their posts! In addition to them, more people have died or are dying. Among them, there may be your relatives and friends. And all of this should not be so bad. Even if we can't save everyone, we can at least save most of them People. So, do you know why it happened like this?"
There was no sound in the square, and the citizens looked at Theon blankly. Theon snapped his fingers, and the Rattlesnake soldiers escorted Jonock out, and Jonock was gagged with a cloth. So after being pushed out of the hall, he saw Theon and the people in the square. He seemed to want to say something, but he only made a vague sound from his mouth.
Theon pointed his crutches at Jonock and shouted: "It's him, our respected Chairman. After receiving the warning from the ground troops, he not only did not send the second and third formations to support, but instead issued an order to close the base passage. As a result, a large number of people died on the ground. If the living corpse is the murderer, then Jonok is a demon. A demon with nearly ten thousand lives on his hands!"
The citizens were stunned. After listening to Theon's words, they realized that their relatives and friends might be able to survive. However, all these hopes were stifled by Jonok's simple order. then…
"demon!"
I don't know who screamed angrily first, followed by the sounds of crusades one after another. In the end, if it weren't for the soldiers arranged by Theon in advance to maintain order, I am afraid that Jonok would have been torn to pieces by the angry people by now.
Theon raised his hand: "Be quiet, everyone listen to me. I will give you a satisfactory answer to Jonok's evil deeds, but now is not the time to convict him, we have more important things to do , that is how to keep our homeland.”
"I believe that many of the people present were those who participated in the construction of Remut back then, and I was one of them." Theon made a gesture, and Pera behind him understood. Through a few simple commands, the electronic screen on the union hall reflected the picture of the residential area on the surface. From the picture, although there were not many of them, there were still living corpses wandering around. Then, Theon said: " At the beginning of the construction, for the sake of defense, when I designed the city, I had secretly buried tactical platforms on the floors of the residential area. Once activated, they will form effective ground firepower and can help us temporarily repel living creatures. corpse."
Upon hearing the news, the townspeople became excited and kept calling Theon "Hurrah". Theon had to gesture again to calm them down, and he said again: "However, due to Jonok's policy, the ground residential buildings he added destroyed the previously designed platform array, so that there was a shooting dead angle. Makes the tactical platform extremely limited. I need to blow up these obstacles, but I don't have enough soldiers, gentlemen!"
"Now I need you to answer a few questions..." Theon's eyes flicked over these faces in the square: "I want you to answer me, would you rather sit and wait to die, or follow me to the ground to blow up those What stands in the way of our own salvation; whether we are willing to take up arms and fight, or watch our loved ones die!"
When he said the last sentence, Sean suddenly raised his voice, letting his words hit everyone's heart like a sledgehammer.
Among the citizens, a white-haired old man raised his hand and shouted, "I'll go, let me kill those guys!"
Then, more and more voices rose up, and they converged into a huge volume: "Let me kill them!"
"Very good, now go to the armory to get your weapons." Theon said loudly again: "Gentlemen, I am proud of your bravery!"
After speaking, he turned and walked into the hall. Pella followed closely behind, and Theon listened to the waves of excited shouts outside, and whispered: "In this way, we have two thousand more soldiers."
Looking at this man with shining eyes, Pella was filled with reverence. Although Theon doesn't have any abilities, it doesn't mean that a capable person can turn two thousand civilians into brave warriors like Theon. This is no longer something that can be done by ability, but a kind of charm.
Theon's charm.
"But this is not enough. Although courage can make people fearless, it can't change their natural limitations in terms of physique and strength. At best, it just buys us more time." Theon hurried into the office , instructed: "Pella, continue to contact our allies. Now they are the only ones who can save us."
Pella nodded, put the tablet smart brain in her hand on the table, swiped her fingers, and sent an email to a designated mailbox. On that mailbox, there were pictures of countless soldiers raising their guns to the sky.
That is the symbol of the Hall of Valor!
As soon as Theon sat down, he saw a call request icon flashing on the computer screen at his desk. Theon clicked on it immediately, and a window popped up, and a thin man appeared in the window.
The man was about thirty years old, and behind him was a messy room.
"Sby, what's the situation?" Sean asked anxiously.
Spee, Cobra Force's most elite scout. Before Theon was about to take over the chairmanship of * Mut, he had already let Sibi sneak out of Lei Mut to check the situation on the ground.
"The situation is not very good, sir." Sibi frowned and said, "I have reason to believe that this is not a simple attack by living corpses."
"How to say."
As soon as the screen changes, a new window pops up. There is a deep corridor in the picture, the corridor is full of corpses of civilians, and the lamps in the corridor flicker, making the picture look so eerie. Sibi's voice cut in: "This is one of the videos I shot, please watch carefully sir, maybe we are not facing three thousand living corpses..."
While Sibi was speaking, in the screen, the dead bodies suddenly trembled violently. Not long after, the corpses crawled up from the ground with slow and slow movements. They stood like logs, and then gradually began to move. At this moment, one of the corpses rushed towards the direction of the screen. The screen immediately shook violently, but before that, Theon could see very clearly, the eyes of the rushing corpse were bloodshot.
This is the sign of a living corpse.
In other words, the civilians in Remut in this corridor have become living corpses. New living corpses.
The picture changed again, but it was Sibi who moved the camera away from the window of the room. So Theon saw the street under the building, which was already densely packed with people, and these people were walking towards the entrance of Remut Base. Among them, occasionally one or two people turned their heads and looked towards the direction of the picture. Their eyes in the picture were as red as blood.
Living corpse! A large number of living corpses, transformed from dead Remut civilians, came towards Remut like a huge wave.
Theon had opened his mouth wide and could not speak. Living corpses could transform corpses, but usually they would not do so. The thing that turns an ordinary corpse into its kind is both a virus and the living substance of a living corpse. What's more, living people are just food to them, and they won't waste their life substances on food. But now, they are producing a large number of the same kind.
What Remut is facing now is not 3,000 living corpses, but more than 10,000 corpse demons!
"My God..." Sitting on the chair, Theon seemed to have aged ten years.
——Separation line, wow Kaka——
In the sky above Eternal Night City, the red lightning that has been constantly exploding in the radiation cloud that has shrouded it for many years has become a unique embellishment of this huge city. Thousands of lightning protection devices distributed on the edge and center of the city will guide the red lightning falling towards the city to the ground, but it will be absorbed by special instruments all over the ground, and finally gather in one place, becoming one of the power sources of Eternal Night City .
This city, which is dubbed the name of eternal night, has twinkling lights almost all day long as the city's illumination. Different from the day and night created by Asgard's hugely expensive holographic panels, Evernight City is exposed on the surface full of radiation to remind people living in it what kind of world they live in.
In such an environment, in order to change your own life, or even the whole world. People who live in it must pay ten times, or even hundreds of times, their efforts. But the irony is that those who can change the world are often those few people standing at the top of the pyramid. Although politicians often say that "the change of the world depends on the people", in fact, those who can really determine the direction of the world trend are only those who stand at the pinnacle of power.
In Eternal Night City, outside the Science and Technology Academy building, Oglock's mount was quietly parked aside. But this one of the most important figures in Central Continent was not in the car, nor in the building, but in the important base named "Dark Core" on the 49th floor underground.
Oglok, the speaker of the Dark Parliament, was walking in a deep but bright passageway in the underground base. There were staff members passing by beside him, but no one stopped to even say hello to him. Here, Oglok's prominent status is gone, but this kind of ignoring him has long been used to.
Oglock came to the end of the passage, and after a series of tests, the metal isolation door slid open from both sides, opening a room leading to Dr. Shawna's work for Oglock.
Dr. Shawna is wearing a sensor helmet, manipulating the comet-level intelligent brain "Omisga" to perform a series of complicated operations that Oglock cannot understand. Even the speaker's arrival couldn't distract Dr. Xiaona in the slightest. Oglok didn't care either. When the isolation door was closed, he just stood by, waiting for the doctor to stop working.
On the light screen unfolded in front of Dr. Shawna, complex calculation formulas were continuously displayed, and the data flying past inside was as vast as a sea of stars, and even Oglock was dazzled. But these things are obviously not difficult for the doctor. Xiao Na's eyes are shining with excitement and fanaticism. He is no longer simply working, but is almost burning his life to explore the mysteries of the universe.
In Oglock's eyes, Dr. Shawna's face looked emaciated due to lack of adequate rest for a long time, and the use of drugs to constantly stimulate his nerves so as to maintain a vigorous state most of the time made Dr. Shawna's whole Zhang thin face was sickly gray. Dr. Shawna's hair had been stripped to reveal a round, bald head, which reminded Oglock of another respectable person.
Dr Raphael.
That fat old man, like Shauna, was a student of Dr. Halson who presided over the entire man-made god project in the old days. But differences in the understanding of the nature of the world, coupled with the break between Oglock and Ben Douglas, separated these two excellent doctors.
Perhaps, after this study is over, the old guy Xiaona has to take a long vacation. Oglock thought so.
"Ogg, here you come."
Dr. Shawna's excited voice brought the speaker back to his senses. Dr. Shawna had already slipped into the sensor helmet and jumped off Omisga's operating platform.
"Shauna, my old friend, you came to me so urgently, did you find anything?"
"It's a big discovery, old bastard." Shawna was very happy, and only when he was in an excited and happy mood would he call Oak a bastard, which was a term they used to ridicule each other when they were young.
If this is said from someone else, I am afraid that this person has become a dead man under Oglock. But calling it out of Dr. Shawna's mouth made him feel very cordial. Time seems to have returned to forty years ago, when the parliament was first established, and many like-minded comrades gathered together to fight for the same goal, which is very moving.
Unfortunately, time is gone forever.
Oglock's attention returned to Dr. Shawna. There are not many chances for a high-level ability user like him to be distracted, but tonight, Oglock seems to be distracted a little more often.
On the other side, Dr. Shawna has called up several charts. It looks like a gene sequence, but it is much more complicated than ordinary gene charts. Even with Oglock's computing power, it is impossible to read much useful information on these charts.
"Look at these, old friend." Shawna pointed to them and said, "Do you know what this is? It is the core of the code of the Disordered Ones, yes, it is a large piece of genetic code as you can see. But it is also a gene, but its complexity is several orders of magnitude higher than that of humans. What is even more interesting is that similar fragments of such genes exist in today's organisms!"
Oglock's whole body was shocked, and with his usual calmness, he was also moved by Dr. Shawna's words: "Be careful!"
"Well, it's because you're stupid." Obviously, Dr. Shawna was in a good mood, and that's why he made fun of Oglock.
The graph on the light screen disappeared, replaced by a spherical model surrounded by countless data. Xiao Na pointed to the data on the outer layer of the model and said: "Look, these data are the initial data presented after the code of the Disorder is parsed. At the beginning, I interpreted them as two-dimensional ordinary data, but you also know , I have found nothing for such a long time. Until one day, it suddenly occurred to me what would happen if these data were interpreted in three dimensions."
"So, it became what you see now." Dr. Shawna opened his arms, and finally hugged his chest and sighed: "It is already certain that the disorderly ones are not products of the earth, even though they are all dressed in human skins , but they are essentially different. I have to say that these outsiders are very unexpected. For example, these data, who would have thought that they are related to the three-dimensional function.”
At this time, Oglok noticed a flickering light spot in the data sphere, and he couldn't help asking: "What is this?"
"The core." Dr. Shawna said: "It is an information base, and all the outer data comes from it. Now I can only decipher a very small part, but the information it shows is the information you just saw. Please note that this is not a perfect genetic diagram, there should be a long tail behind it. Do you know what this means, friend?"
"Limit... Are you saying that the disorder may not have an evolutionary limit, or that its limit is very large, at least far exceeding all the information we have?" Oglock caught the point.
"That's right, it seems you're not too stupid." Dr. Shawna nodded at Oglock and said, "But that's just one. Second, by comparing some information in our database, I found that apart from humans, Almost all mutated creatures have the same gene segment as the disorderly one. Not all of them are the same, but on the most critical gene nodes, their data is accurate to four digits after the decimal point! Friends, please allow I'm making a wild guess."
"You also know that the evolution of mutated creatures appeared almost overnight. And the data of gene nodes is also unprecedented, they seem to be inserted into this data suddenly, and now, in nowhere The same data was also found on the Order. So I think that the genes of the disorder and mutant beasts are at least part of the genes, and they come from the same creator!"
