Dracula kiss

Washington, Pentagon.

A black-haired man followed behind another middle-aged man. They were wearing the same dark green military uniform, the only difference was the stars marking their military ranks.

Halfway through, the man in front stopped abruptly.The black-haired man followed his gaze and looked out the window. The gray-blue sky symbolized the star flag of the United States waving in the wind. The old flag was full of signs of damage, just like this country, struggling in adversity Remaining breath.

"Augustus, have you really thought it through?" The middle-aged man didn't look back.

"I think so, Father." The black-haired officer replied without hesitation, as if he had practiced many times.

The middle-aged man let out a low sigh and led him to the third basement floor of the building.That place has been transformed into a laboratory, and now it can be said to be one of the remaining key laboratories in the country, no, or in the whole world.

They walked through a long passage, and behind the sheets of tempered glass were vertical tanks, the 'them' in the culture fluid—yes, they should no longer be called human beings.Those creatures with huge deformities and different shapes are mutants infected with the doomsday virus.

This virus leaked from the secret laboratory of Corregidor Island brought unprecedented disaster to the whole world.Infected people will first have pale skin, cold hands and feet, etc., then lose their appetite, and soon develop bloodthirsty symptoms, and they will be severely allergic to sunlight, and even spontaneously combust in the sun.Most of these mutants are male, and it is initially believed that the X chromosome has a gene that suppresses the virus, but because of this, women have become the first victims of this doomsday.

The number of mutants has surged in just a few months, and three years after the outbreak of the infection, many countries have collapsed due to the out-of-control situation.The mutants are also evolving differently. The interim world government headed by the United States has gathered various countries and established defense forces to jointly fight against these heresies.They divided the mutants into several grades. Guys below grade C can use bullets to solve them, but monsters above this grade already have the opportunity to think independently, making the problem even more difficult.And now another crisis they are facing is that mutants can directly reproduce the next generation on their own, which is nothing less than a major blow to human beings who are facing severe reproduction problems.

When I was in the waiting room, there were already quite a few people gathered inside, and their different skin colors showed that they came from different countries and ethnic backgrounds.Everyone was very silent, with different looks in their eyes, some were nervous, some were uneasy, and some were indifferent...

The dark-haired man sat down in the back row, and sat down in an empty seat next to a big officer. When the eyes met, the serious-looking man extended his right hand to him solemnly and said, "Matthew .Ben Oster."

"Augustus." The black-haired man seemed much more relaxed. He thought for a while, but when he shook hands, he still added: "Fleet Cromwell."

When he heard the surname, Matthew's eyes flickered, and he nodded calmly.

At this time, the speech ahead had officially begun, and it was the father of the black-haired man who stepped onto the stage.As the head of the provisional government, he has aged rapidly in the past three years. He was a man in his early fifties, but his hair is already gray and gray, and his face is full of traces of hard work.

"...so we must fight together and advance and retreat together." After the brief opening remarks, a doctor in a white coat came up.With the help of their assistants, they took out a sealed metal box.

"This will be the vaccine jointly developed by Dr. Li and his team. It will be our last weapon and the last hope of all mankind." After speaking, the head of state gave the podium to the doctor next to him.

"Everyone, with the joint efforts of me and my esteemed colleagues──and everyone, we finally found the initiator of everything from a mutant, and we gave it a name, that is, the 'ancestor gene'. "

"In fact, a year ago, we successfully isolated serum from them and made it into a vaccine. After a lot of animal and clinical experiments, we improved it again and again, and finally erased the alienated elements."

The doctor raised his old glasses, looked at the group of young people, and said in a hoarse voice: "But after being injected with the vaccine, the subjects will have some common symptoms with mutants, including bloodthirsty, anti- Severely sensitive to ultraviolet light. We have tried our best, but we still cannot avoid these accompanying symptoms. However, the subjects will also have the same abilities as mutants, including longevity, immunity to bacteria and viruses, and rapid regeneration , and there is an absolute probability that there will be special abilities that only high-level mutants have."

This sentence made everyone present look surprised. Apart from uneasiness, they were more fascinated...

Dr. Li dropped the next sentence at this time, "Nevertheless, the success rate of gene fusion of this top vaccine is only [-]%."

It's like throwing a bucket of cold water over their heads in an instant.

"The higher the purity of the ancestor gene, the lower the tolerance for humans. Therefore, after our long discussion, according to the current situation, the purity of the ancestor gene carried in the vaccine has been reduced, thereby increasing the success rate .Now we have five tiers of vaccines."

The doctor's assistant unlocked the box, and the fog diffused out. There were test tubes of ignorance inside, marked with grades from S to D. The higher the grade, the lighter the color of the liquid in the test tube, and even emitted a slight odour. fluorescence.

The doctor took out the S-grade test tube, and the crystal color was like the light emitted by top gemstones.It is like the fruit on the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden, tempting people to pick it.

An officer in the front row raised his hand. When he was allowed to ask questions, he stood up and said, "What will happen if the fusion fails?"

The eyes of the Asian doctor behind the lens were a bit chilly, "When you came here, you have already seen 'them'."

This sentence made the scene silent again, and the eyes they looked at the test tubes contained different meanings.

"Everyone, you have a chance to choose." The assistant pushed the box in front of them.

Then, someone distributed the rights and interests certificate, and they had one day to think about it.

The dark-haired man quickly filled in the last page after flipping through it for a while. Like him, there was also a man sitting next to him.

At this time, another person sitting in front of them stood up. When he heard the sound from behind, the young man with light blond hair turned his head and smiled politely at them, "Do you need to help?"

"Thank you." Matthew handed him the book of rights.The dark-haired man also handed over his share, and they smiled at each other.

"Alexis." He announced his name, and before they opened their mouths, he called out to each of them: "Matthew, Augustus, I hope to see you again later."

The two men in the back row looked at each other tacitly.

Before entering the laboratory, General Cromwell, who was also the head of the provisional government, stood outside the door watching his only remaining son.

"Your mother wanted you to be a lawyer." He sighed again. "You're not like Oliver. You can speak well, just like Patty..."

"I have to go in, Father." The dark-haired man kissed his father on the cheek.

"Although I don't know what choice you made, I wish you success. You will always be my best son, Augustus."

Augustus lowered his head and smiled. After all his relatives died except his father, he deeply felt that this man had become fragile and lonely.

"Goodbye, Augustus."

Goodbye.

──Maybe, that means never seeing you again.

After 40 years, among the 440 six S-class test tube subjects sleeping in the incubator, only 20 people successfully woke up.The earth at that time was already another look.

During the period of their slumber, the virus infection continued, and even entered a white-hot stage later.The mutants reproduced on their own, and once again experienced terrible evolution. When the first SS-level mutant appeared, the Asia-Pacific region was almost lost.But fortunately, in the past few decades, subjects above B level have woken up one after another, so that the provisional government will not be destroyed quickly in such a severe situation.

The black-haired man and the other [-] subjects—after successfully merging and waking up, they have undergone great changes compared with the human period.Whether it's appearance or other aspects, their brain and physical strength have been greatly developed. Compared with A-level fusion users, their special abilities are even higher, and they even have more than one kind of power.

For example, the German Matthew, oh, he has become the leader of their special team.There is also that Russian Alexei, who is an outstanding S-level ability user.Abel, who was sitting opposite, had only one ability, but it was very useful. Unlike their use of different elements, he had a very heaven-defying talent for sound waves, which made him more and more silent.Among them are two Asians, one from China and one from India...

"Somebody warm up this blood potion for me- oh, thank you so much, Matthew. Seriously, after the next operation, if you're here, we can have an open-air barbecue, it's so convenient .”

"I think more blood agents with different flavors should be developed, I'm getting tired of it..."

"Abel's?! Are you here? Damn, you're frightening me!"

"I want to eat Xiaolongbao!!!"

Ah, their life is still lively.At first it was.

The SS-level mutants are the biggest threat to them and to the whole world. Later, they also faced many problems, and the most severe time was the second doomsday period. Five top mutants appeared at the same time The last civilization of mankind was almost destroyed. Along with natural disasters one after another, the global population is less than [-] million.

After the final battle of the second doomsday, of the thousand-member organization composed of these subjects, there were less than a hundred people left, and among them, the S-level ability users lost fourteen members.However, in this battle, they did win, although they paid a heavy price for it.

In order to survive in such a harsh environment, vaccines have been widely popularized, and most of the surviving humans choose to receive vaccine injections.In order to ensure the success rate of fusion, ordinary civilians are only injected with D-level vaccines, and because of this, another brand-new species appeared in this world-blood race.

Later, humans and blood races had conflicts, triggering civil wars that lasted for centuries.

After stumbling all the way down like this, among the subjects of that year, in addition to six S-level ability users, there were seven A-level ability users left.

This time they learned the lesson of centuries ago that there must be a balance in this world.Therefore, after human beings broke through the problem of reproduction, the new century was officially established, and the remaining thirteen capable people established the only symbolic "House of Elders", and after the world gradually entered orbit, they entered an indefinite sleep .

Perhaps slowly, they will also disappear into the long river of history...

It was an ordinary night, a few old friends were sitting at a round table.

"Why only these, what about the others?" A voice asked.

"All I know is Alexei, he's still sleeping. Don't bother him, he wakes up very badly." The person next to him replied.

"I met Ray two years ago, he went to the Caribbean and he was very disturbed by the magnetic field changes there," said another.

"What about Augustus? He is in the city, and he shouldn't be absent." The first voice said again.

"I know where he is." A gloomy voice sounded.

"Ah, Abel's, you scared me again!" Said the person next to him.

"He vacationed with the twins on Greenway Beach, and he told me all about their itinerary. He must be showing me off... damn Augustus." He grew darker, as if he wanted to Take out the handkerchief and bite.

The first voice tactfully ignored him, turned to the person opposite, and said, "Zhang, it's strange that you woke up."

After being silent for a long time, the voice sounded a little erratically.

"I want to eat Xiaolongbao..."
