Survival In the World of Beasts

February 20, 20x9

Maybe I should praise the efficiency of Dr. Ye? But in the past ten days, my military rank, credentials, and access card were all down. However, he does not seem to be the highest person in charge of the Dawn base. There is also a major general above him, which I have not seen.

People in the research team also arrived. Looking at these people with all kinds of backgrounds, even Professor Qiu was there. I remembered Ye Daxiao’s phrase "completely composed of members of the military." Maybe, this is the cunning of the military? When we came here, in the eyes of others, it is hardly a member of the military.

Both Xiaoxiao and his mother have been properly settled, and I can devote myself to the tough task without any worries. At present, it seems that my decision is correct.

Working around the clock for several months is just to find out the interaction between the s injection and sirt1 and the virus. We have basically confirmed that the first few cases are not contagious, but the virus itself is contagious. If you are infected with this virus , He himself had been injected with s injection before he would become a zombie.

The conservative opinion is that to control the spread of this virus, as long as the interaction between this virus and the s injection is temporarily eliminated, the scope of infection will not expand.

If it is placed in the usual academic circles, the efficiency of such research is of course very fast, and it is definitely world-renowned when it is published, but this is a very special time. There are more and more cases outside, and our research progress is too slow and too slow. Up.

The public has gradually begun to perceive and panic. I am from Major Ye, no, I am now Major Ye. With the latest news from him, this kind of illness has also appeared in the senior management of all walks of life.

At the beginning, s injections were expensive and there was no market, and the first to be injected...It was these so-called elites with privileges. I couldn't help smiling. I would definitely say that something like this happened during the Taiping period without hesitation. However, this season requires the concerted efforts of various organizations to overcome the difficulties. These people fell too late.

The latest case has been sent, but this little girl has never been injected with the s injection. I know that the most terrible situation has happened. The virus has evolved under the action of the s injection. The virus has only a short rna or dna chain, which is more unstable. Its evolution speed only takes a few hours or a few days, but it takes too long for humans to overcome it.

When we conquer this virus, it has mutated into another thing, just like it is now.

Today, I don’t know what’s going on in the base. I’m doing experiments all night and honking the horns all night outside. Later, a colleague who came in told me that flash floods broke out near the base and the dam was about to burst. The soldiers on the base had to fight the flood.

For a while, I really felt that this was really an eventful time. What I, even our group of people, can do is too limited.

However, the soldiers outside have the duty to protect them at the risk of their lives. We also have the mission to complete all night and sleeplessly. Let's all do our part.

No one talked in the laboratory anymore, and everyone started to get busy on their own.

September 28, 20x9

One day in the middle of the cave, the world has been thousands of years.

I have never experienced this sentence so deeply.

I have been at the base for only half a year, burying my head in experiments, and not asking about foreign affairs, the outside has turned into a **** on earth. No, maybe the whistle that often sounded all night can explain many problems, but we have overlooked it.

The base has been building a large number of fortifications outside. Our research team is in the deepest part of the base, next to the weapon research and development team. Everyone has invested in scientific research and is completely unaware of the sound of construction outside.

When I was eating, I heard from my mother that the world was crazy... I was in the laboratory for only half a year. After such a terrible epidemic, there were large-scale floods and droughts outside, and food production was reduced in large areas. Even the abortion, a famine occurred in the most glorious era of human civilization.

Due to the frequent occurrence of various disasters, various oil exporting countries have either actively or passively completely stopped energy output. The entire domestic energy is in emergency, and many coal energy facilities have been urgently activated.

But all of a sudden, many facilities that use petroleum as an energy source cannot switch so quickly. Like cars, without petroleum, they are just a pile of scrap iron.

Many victims can only flock to various places where food may be available on foot, and the spread of the virus is more rampant in natural disasters and famines. People who live to the base say that now in those cities outside, the living dead are more than the dead and the living. That adds up to a lot.

I haven't experienced those, and even now I can dress neatly and eat meals, but I still feel the bone-chilling chill and terrible despair.

Does the earth really have a self-immune system. After she discovered that she could not afford the cancerous human tumor, she hoped to purify us?

I don't know, but I feel the pressure on my shoulders even more. My mother told me that the diets of the major generals and soldiers in the base have been lowered, but my colleagues and I don't know anything about it.

Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. This sentence is usually awe-inspiring. However, at this time, I have not heard a more pertinent slogan. Perhaps it is not just the rise and fall of the country, but the survival of the human race.

If the soldiers are cutting their own expenses for the people, even though we are civilians, we are also wearing this green uniform. We don't need such special care. I'll talk to Colonel Ye.

October 11, 20x9

The situation outside has become more and more severe. The leaders of the Suguang base are probably the first to predict the real situation. Although more and more people are coming into the base, there is no sign of turmoil.

The newcomers are all assigned jobs, either to build fortifications or to plant greenhouses. The base has also developed many new sources of energy. I saw windmills and solar cells that appeared on the roof of the greenhouse at some unknown time. Board, can't help but admire several leaders of the base.

During the turmoil, how many people cannot protect themselves. Not many people can judge the situation in this way, make correct judgments, and benefit the people.

I don't have time to actively pay attention to these external information. They are all revealed in a few words by people at the next table when dining in the cafeteria.

The hard work paid off, and we finally improved the adaptor, hoping to help healthy people immune to that terrible evolutionary virus.

My colleagues and I provided the base with the final correction plan. There was no time for repeated clinical certifications. The little girl became the first experimental subject.

We all know that this violates scientific ethics, but under such circumstances, time is the life of countless people. For the first time, I felt that it is so difficult to stick to the principles taught to me by my instructor. Sometimes, I can only do it knowingly that I can’t do it.

December 3, 20x9

This winter is extremely cold. At this time, there has been heavy snowfall for several days in a row. Those who are homeless are afraid that it will be extremely difficult to survive.

Fortunately, the improved adaptor, which we named adaptor b, does have a certain immune effect. At least people who have been injected with this adaptor in the base have indeed improved a lot in the ability to immune evolved viruses, even for cases in the incubation period. It will also have a certain effect, but the little girl still goes.

Everyone couldn't tell anything about her short life, but silently put black gauze on her white coat.

December 7, 20x9

A group of new colleagues came to the base, and from their peculiar silence and caution, we can only infer that they were probably researchers from a certain confidential unit, but they were unable to know their research fields.

The weapons laboratory next to our laboratory has been merged into this new department, and its location has been moved to another place in the base.

Today I saw Major General Huo, the top military commander of the base. He was unexpectedly young. Also, those elderly leaders who didn’t inject S-reagents were probably only a few, and the backbone abilities that can hold on to the present are probably the same as Major General Huo. Young and promising people.

I took a look and found that almost all the top executives of the base were present. I didn't quite understand that I was only engaged in scientific research, and their high-level meetings seemed to have nothing to do with me.

Master Ye quickly explained their meaning to me. They hoped that I would publish the relevant information of adaptor b. The research progress of many other bases lags behind the dawn and has not yet developed a vaccine, not to mention the general application of adaptor b. Agent.

There are even other countries asking for help from the Suguang base. Even country a, which first developed a vaccine, has gradually discovered that their progress in developing vaccines cannot keep up with the evolution of the virus. Yes, even on zombies, we found The virus is also evolving, and the zombies are gradually becoming more aggressive.

It's just that I didn't expect Suguang, or that Major General Huo would have such courage and willing to share scientific research results with other people. For me, of course I cannot ask for it.

The purpose of scientific research is to explore all the truths in the world, but also for the blessing of all mankind. Even if we violated her ethics in this process, if the final result can bless more people, I also feel that I am Willing to bear this original sin, maybe, I have already stepped on the edge of the cliff that the instructor said.

I suddenly thought of Lee. In this monstrous wave and sky full of accusations, did he hesitate and hesitate like me, and finally knew he couldn't do it? Or, he was only tempted by Satan's evil, and finally found that there was no way back.

The snow outside hasn't stopped, and this boundless whiteness of snow does not know how much filth and evil in the world are concealed.

January 23, 20x0

I can't imagine that the reunion with Lee turned out to be in such a scene.

Although the base has promised to share the information of adaptor b, it is probably not free, just look at the new cutting-edge equipment in the laboratory. I have never seen many things in universities in country a. I only heard that they might be in their national laboratories.

It’s just that I didn’t expect Lee to be brought over by them.

I know that the outbreak of this catastrophe has caused many people to target him. If people have given him much praise before, the "Father of Longevity Gene" will be desperately crowned on his head. Now, people He returned his swearing thousands of times.

The base did not announce the news of his arrival, but Major Ye arranged for me to meet him in private. Major Ye only said that Lee's fault should not be treated like this. At least he should be given a chance to redeem his merits. After all, he is a great geneticist.

I deeply agree. In this huge change, Lee's mistake was just a fuse, and the original sin of human greed may be the root cause of everything.

Lee finally told me the truth, I didn't expect those people to be so shameless and ignorant! Kidnapping his family to coerce him to speed up the progress of the entire plan, the so-called democratic and legal country, the veil of warmth and justice in the face of sufficiently large interests, probably is nothing.

Lee seems to have lost all his thoughts. In the disaster, he still lost his relatives. Xiao Xiao's affairs made me more understanding of this pain, but this kind of pain cannot be comforted and cannot be treated. It can only scar itself. I accompany him quietly, silently.

Lee was much stronger than I thought. He cheered up and quickly told me another terrible thing.

I can't imagine, how could anyone be so mad?

I didn't expect my research results to be used in this direction by these people. I just tried to correct the terrible side effects of the s reagent, but I didn't expect such consequences.

I laughed bitterly, why are there such mad people?

So many people are displaced outside, living in zombies, famine, and cold day by day. I don't know if the sun will rise tomorrow and the order of human civilization is collapsing. But there is such a crazy person who only sees his own ambition...

The mutant experiment, before Lee told me, I only knew from some small channels that someone was doing it illegally and privately. Unexpectedly, now that everything is in chaos, this terrible thing is semi-public. My adaptor provides them with the feasibility of gene splicing.

Lee was once arrested by them to preside over an experiment, and was finally rescued by the authorities of country a. As one of the conditions, it was dawn.

I can't imagine the torture that Lee has suffered. I am in chaos now. I remember the teacher's words again. If you set foot in God's forbidden zone without authorization, you must be prepared to bear God's revenge.

I had a foreboding that my conditioning agent would bring some negative effects...but I didn't expect God's revenge to come so quickly.

I can't speak in confusion, however, Lee only asked me, would I do this if everything was done from scratch?

I slowly recalled that in order for Xiao Zhao to wake up, I developed an adaptor, in order to fight against evolutionary viruses, to improve the adaptor, and to benefit more people, to publish the formula of the adaptor. These piles of pieces are all my own choices. I smiled bitterly. Yes, if I start all over again, I will still do it.

I think I probably understand what Lee means. I really don’t have anything to entangle. The choices I have made are what I want. I never regret it, but people are always responsible for their choices. I think I should do my best. Do your best to correct this error.

February 2, 20x0

Sure enough, the base caught some mutants. Even though I have seen all kinds of deformed creatures under the influence of genes, I still feel that those people's sins are unforgivable, and **** can't tolerate them!

These mutants not only lost the human form, some even lost the human consciousness. They only knew that they were constantly fighting with their hunting instincts.

I applied to the base for a new project to repair mutant human genes, and Major General Huo personally approved it. I am very grateful. I know that the base's current resources cannot be wasted, but they still approved the project.

February 14, 20x0

This is a huge challenge. I did not ask my colleagues for support. They still have other important projects to advance, including the subsequent response of the adaptor injection, continuing to improve the adaptor to improve the immunity of the subjects, etc. I also need to take care of them occasionally. The progress of the edge.

Lee changed his appearance and name and joined the research group. He would also come to help me during his break after his work. I did not refuse. He will silently assist me in all the steps, just like today. When we were a teenager, we spent so many years in the laboratory together. After so many years, we have become familiar with each other's operating habits. Even after many years, we can still cooperate in tacit understanding.

Perhaps, at this moment, I have learned to understand Lee, the things I did before are no different from him. In any case, we have violated the guidelines taught by the teacher. If he is still alive, I am afraid he will be very disappointed.

His whole life can only be described by the words "the mountain rises up, and the scenery hangs." As a master in the field of genetic engineering, he is full of peaches and plums, but he usually treats us kindly and kindly, just like his father's generation. Lee and I were his closed disciples, but they violated his most important character in his lifetime, and violated the principles he repeatedly taught us several times.

Under Jiuquan, I really have no face to see him. Maybe only by working hard to complete the work at hand can I make up for a little of my fault.

March 21, 20x0

All experiments in the base were suddenly suspended. Our laboratory and even the freezer room where Xiaoxiao was waiting were moved to an address deep in the mountains. The base did not give a reason, but everyone knows that based on Sugon’s code of conduct. It is absolutely impossible to arrange this for no reason.

Mom is also acting with us. She seems to be in good spirits, talking and laughing with Lee. I told her about Lee, but she didn't mind. Maybe in her opinion, Lee is still just our family back then. The funny young man playing.

The suspension and the relocation process made me a little irritable. I had an ominous premonition in my heart. I always felt that whether my own experiment or all these things were going well, I hoped that it was just my illusion.

March 22, 20x0

When I was in the new laboratory that night, my horrible hunch was confirmed.

Major Ye told me the news personally. One of the original purposes of the Suguang base was to "defend uncontestable disasters." Not only fortifications, but also a launch center. In case of necessity, they will still be in touch. A space station operating in space has initiated the Earth’s evacuation plan.

I was stunned for a while, what kind of terrible situation requires such an evacuation? !

The current situation is very bad. The weather is wrong, the grain harvest is reduced, and even the crustal plate is overactive. There are frequent earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis. Even viruses are constantly evolving, but at least in the dawn, everything is under control, and everyone has a clear idea. Everyone knows what they are doing and their efforts are effective. It only takes time and Suguang can definitely complete the evacuation of the surrounding areas. Why is the high-level team so pessimistic in the tone of Master Ye?

In desperation, Major Ye explained to me the reason. Those viruses have gradually begun to invade other species. This kind of virus that makes people turn into zombies will make some creatures stronger after evolving, and even gradually return to them. The most powerful time in the evolutionary process.

Even more frightening is that they have detected several groups of asteroids with diameters ranging from five kilometers to fifteen kilometers quickly approaching the earth.

If in normal times, it may be possible to unite multi-national operations. For species mutations, they can be isolated and eliminated, using viruses for scientific research and public relations, spreading genetic diseases, and letting them self-destruct, but now, is everything still too late? Everything is so chaotic, it is impossible to maintain effective communication, let alone this kind of fine work with high coordination requirements, high research index and extremely low power.

And the arrival of these asteroids may be the last straw to crush the camel.

Whether it's guiding the trajectory or nuclear bomb blasting, I'm afraid the base has already thought about it, but there are too few forces that humans can integrate now...

Colonel Ye told me that in order to wipe out the mutant creatures they just discovered, they sacrificed many warriors. If all this spreads, I'm afraid the base will not be able to support it for long.

So, they even gave up telling the research team about these things? Because they have determined that no research efficiency can catch up with this terrible rate of spread.

"We can only plan for the worst." Major Ye left such a sentence.

March 26, 20x0

I silently looked at the canyon below. I knew that the core personnel of the base were busy there recently. If I guessed correctly, the plan should be a temporarily assembled spaceship.

I don't know anything about the aerospace field. I only know that country a successfully landed on Mars a few years ago, and even everyone discussed the plan to migrate to Mars. In the end, it was not approved by the Congress of country a because of the terribly high budget.

Maybe the base just wants to send people to space to avoid ground disasters, and wait until everything gets better before landing again.

However, my experiment has already been carried out at a critical juncture, and several test bodies have the possibility of physical changes one after another. If you get on the spacecraft...

Even if I don’t know anything about aerospace and aviation, I know that those experts will not hesitate to use metals and fuels that are more expensive than gold in order to reduce the weight of spacecraft. In space, how precious resources are. Will I still have the opportunity to complete this experiment that is not important to the base?

April 1, 20x0

Today is the day of the maiden voyage of the Dawn. I don’t know if it is due to the time emergency and the itinerary cannot be arranged or intentionally. It is really a huge irony to choose this spacecraft that escaped the earth to test sail today.

Perhaps starting from the s reagent, all of this is God's fooling and punishment of mankind.

Up to now, I haven't asked Lee if he regrets it. It is not that he is guilty of everything that happened like this. It is just his temptation on the boundaries of science to push everything that is already on the cliff.

I violated the guidelines taught by the teacher, life sciences, our duty is to explore and discover, I have made mistakes again and again, and stepped into the forbidden zone that shouldn't be caught.

If those who participated in the mutant experiment knew everything, would they hate me in the end? Maybe they would rather die than lose their human identity. Even if my experiment is successful, they can temporarily restore their human form, and they will be regarded as aliens and expelled from society, just like on the Dawn, there will never be them. s position.

I don't know how many cases of illegal gene splicing are out there besides these people. The results of those people are just more pitiful. They will no longer be able to restore their human form. All I can do is to sow as many seeds as possible for the transformation of form. I only hope that even after experiencing all this terrible, they will not be deprived of their human appearance forever.

Live, please live, there is hope if you live.

At least, they still have human genes, even if human civilization is annihilated on the earth, the traces of human beings as intelligent life, at least will not completely disappear on the earth because of us sinners.

Major Ye promised me that he would reserve places for mother and Xiao Zhao on the Dawn. Since I stayed, Lee should take my place on the spacecraft and lead the research team.

Before leaving, I told Lee that I might not be busy with it. If it is convenient for him, he must start the experiment on Xiaoxiao's side. He smiled and reassures me that he will do everything he can to make Xiao Xiao wake up, and he will wait for me.

I just entrusted Xiao Zhao to him.

I am afraid he still thinks that the Dawn is just a trial voyage, and I just stay on the ground temporarily for experimental reasons. However, I believe that in the end he will be able to wake up Zhao.

The outside energy has completely stopped running, and the backup energy has started to start. I know that the day when the backup energy is exhausted, the darkness will come, and people will always be responsible for everything they have done. I don’t regret it, but it’s a pity that I probably see it. It was not the day when Xiao Zhao woke up.
