More than twenty years ago, war broke out.
The first nuclear bomb exploded in Europe, followed by Wanghai, and NATO declared war on Pan-Asia Cooperation. Everything happened so suddenly. Although the economic crisis and the energy crisis were foreseeable troubles, no one equated the two with war.
Human civilization had been peaceful for too long, since the Cold War.
Like other areas of Pan-Asia Cooperation, this resort in Datun Mountain received a war alert within an hour after the collapse of the Holy Shield system in Wanghai. However, for a resort far away from the urban area, it was almost impossible to get to the fallout shelter in the urban area within an hour.
Despair came to everyone.
In the face of certain death, everyone was at a loss. Other than crying and praying, there was nothing they could do.
Just then, a person stood up.
He claimed to be an intelligence officer of Pan-Asia Cooperation, guarding the secrets of the underground nuclear power facility. As one of the strategic reserves, Clearwater Nuclear Power Plant was designed to be a quasi-fallout shelter. Although there were no reserves of living supplies, it was not a problem to withstand nuclear strikes.
"… Then, under his leadership, people moved the food, medicine, tents, and other living supplies of the entire resort into Clearwater Nuclear Power Plant." Zhao Tianyu explained the cause of the story.
"What does this have to do with the Fog Demon?" Jiang Chen asked.
"After that, something unbelievable happened." Zhao Tianyu shrugged and then said, "You must have heard of the gene vaccine."
"Yes."
"Some lucky people can unlock special abilities through the gene vaccine. The more common ones are fury, rapid healing, vision enhancement, and so on. There are also some more special abilities that even reach a category that cannot be explained by nature …"
"For example, the Fog Demon?" Jiang Chen frowned. "… I thought it was a mutant."
"No, he is a person, and he used to be a great person. Between duty and humanity, he made the right choice, but in the end, because of something, he could not be forgiven and was expelled by the survivors. "Zhao Tianyu laughed.
"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 Mud Crabs. They, who had never seen these things before, were forced to flee by a Mud Crab that was about to faint from hunger. Not only did they lose the deuterium refinery, but they also lost the workers' dormitories. In order to drive away these Mud Crabs, he injected illegal drugs that didn't pass clinical trials and forcefully unlocked the hidden genetic code. He drove away the Mud Crabs that occupied the pipeline and destroyed their nests. "
"What's unforgivable about that?" Jiang Chen laughed.
"The unforgivable is yet to come. Illegal drugs are not without side effects. When the genetic code was unlocked, the drug also caused his V127 gene to mutate. " After a pause, Zhao Tianyu smiled, lowered his voice and said, "V127 gene mutant, also known as the cannibal gene."
"He ate people?" Jiang Chen was slightly moved.
"No, but do you think a bunch of cowards would allow a potential ogre to live next to them? Moreover, he had unlocked the stealth ability, which made him a natural killer. And in life, he has indeed shown a desire for human flesh and blood. "Zhao Tianyu's expression was somewhat cruel as he smiled.
At this point in the story, Jiang Chen could already guess what happened next.
The hero who had saved everyone was banished by those who had been saved. After being chased out of the nuclear power plant, he was disheartened and faced the empty ruins alone. He exiled himself in the radiation dust and became a cannibal in the truest sense of the word, hunting every human who broke into this place or intended to escape from this place.
"That's all I know. If you want to know more about him, you can ask Dr. Mike at the clinic. The illegal drug that the Fog Demon injected was prepared by him. He is a foreigner of Portuguese nationality, but he speaks good Han and is easy to get along with, "Zhao Tianyu said with a smile.
"I will." Jiang Chen nodded.
"It's getting late. I'll arrange a room for you."
"I have to go down the mountain as soon as possible. There are still people waiting for me at the foot 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 a devil at night," Zhao Tianyu said seriously.
After weighing the pros and cons, Jiang Chen finally accepted his kindness. Although it was impossible to communicate with the outside world through radio in the underground facility, he didn't need radio to communicate with Lin Lin. Instead, he used Klein particle waves that could even travel through the timeline.
When he came to the room provided by Zhao Tianyu, Jiang Chen checked every corner of the room. After confirming that there were no bugs, he immediately contacted Lin Lin. As soon as the call was connected, Lin Lin's anxious face appeared in the holographic image.
"Where are you now? Why haven't you come down from the mountain yet? "
"I've already entered the nuclear power plant … The situation on the mountain is a bit strange. I can't explain it to you in a short time. In short, it's very dangerous here. Don't come up."
When she heard that there was danger on the mountain, Lin Lin's little face immediately turned pale.
"Then, then you won't be in danger on the mountain, right?"
"No, I'm more worried about you … How about this, you and Chen Guangning go back to the fortress first. When I solve the problem here, I'll find you."
After explaining this 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 the sun for a long time, the skin of the people here was very white. However, this kind of whiteness was not only not aesthetic, but also gave people an unhealthy morbid feeling. Walking in the corridor of this underground residence, Jiang Chen noticed that the people around him were looking at him with vigilance.
The look was filled with curiosity, probing, but more than that, it was distrust.
There was only one clinic in the entire Clearwater Nuclear Power Plant. It didn't take Jiang Chen much effort to find this place and meet Mike.
As soon as Mike saw Jiang Chen, he immediately recognized him from the outside from his skin color, and a hint 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 words he used to Zhao Tianyu.
After listening to his words, Mike nodded with understanding, put down the pen in his hand, and sighed.
"I see … Sure enough, not all hatred can fade with time."
"Compared to hatred, I feel that what drives him to act is more like a beast's instinct."
When he heard Jiang Chen's words, a strange look flashed in Mike's eyes, and a look of interest gradually appeared on his face.
"Oh? Can you tell me in detail? "
When he heard Mike's words, Jiang Chen smiled helplessly.
I was the one who came to inquire about the information, but in the end, I became the one who was asked questions …
With patience, Jiang Chen selectively repeated the situation when he fought with the Fog Demon. After listening to his retelling, the expression on Mike's face gradually became dignified.
After a moment of silence, he slowly said.
"If I guessed correctly, he should have unlocked the genetic code to the third stage."
