implication [end times]

Yan Ai told Lou Yue that he was saved from sudden death with the help of his little assistant Shan Qun, which was not an exaggeration.

After driving Lou Yue away, Yan Ai soaked in the laboratory for more than two hours, and had to go to the affiliated school of the scientific research institute non-stop to give lectures.This school has a three-year schooling period and is her alma mater. In the main city, only the most qualified seedlings among the graduates who have received community school education can come to this school to continue their studies and have the opportunity to enter the scientific research institute after graduation. Work.

Well-known professors from various departments of the Academy of Sciences need to offer regular courses and lectures in the affiliated schools. This day, Yan Ai’s lectures are aimed at freshmen of various disciplines who have just entered school. Although the research work is very intense these days, Yan Ai still does not Dare to slack off.After all, among this group of freshmen who are still ignorant, there may be a few people who have a strong interest in scientific research just because of listening to this lecture, and will become a new star in the near future. Promote the development of a certain field.This kind of thing is not uncommon, Yan Ai himself was such a freshman back then.

Although a wave of sea ghosts broke out in the third ring, the impact on the first ring was very small. To the residents of the first ring, the disaster that broke out in the third ring was just a sudden terrorist incident on the broadcast news. The security system solves it.Many insightful people even believe that, from an ecological and social perspective, the outbreak of sea ghosts in the city may be related to the dirty environment of the third ring road and the low quality of the population.Therefore, although the high-level security department has paid great attention to this matter, the lives and ideas of ordinary people in a circle have not changed much.

Before the lecture began, a freshman came forward with a textbook in his hand and timidly asked about an incomprehensible knowledge point.After Yan Ai answered with a smile, he found that this new biology textbook had scattered many knowledge points, and many of the contents seemed conservative and outdated, not even as innovative as when Yan Ai was in school.

The editor-in-chief of the textbook at that time was Yuan Qiong, and the song "Innocent Prophecy" that impressed Yan Ai was printed on the title page.Now that poem is naturally gone, replaced by pictures of complex and sophisticated instruments in the laboratory of Yihuan Research Institute.

After solving the student's problem, Yan Ai casually asked the school staff next to him: "Did this biology textbook just change?"

"It has been changed for a long time. It seems that it was changed the year after you graduated." The staff member said, "But it does have some problems. It is said that it will be reprogrammed after a while."

The problem with the basic textbooks is actually not that big, and you still have to learn it again for future research. Yan Ai didn't take this matter too much to heart.Some time ago, the leader did ask her if she would like to join the editorial board of the new textbook. She has been troubled by many things recently and has been forgetting to reply.

Yan Ai was thinking about replying to the leader before returning to the laboratory. Seeing that the agreed lecture time was approaching, a question suddenly crossed her mind: If the textbooks have been changed for many years, why did Shan Qun, who just graduated, say Are you using the old version of Yuan Qiong?

But she didn't have time to think about it. There were no empty seats under the podium, and the freshmen looked at the young and outstanding professor on the podium with blinking eyes eager for knowledge.Yan Ai had no choice but to temporarily put other chores behind her and concentrate on speaking.

Since many freshmen are not majoring in biomedicine, Yan Ai's lecture content is as easy to understand as possible, focusing on popular science.When talking about the ADE effect, she simply compared this process to a confrontation between two armies.

"In our body, the elimination of viruses by the immune system is a huge and tragic battle. If the immune system is regarded as our army and the virus is the enemy, the normal combat process is that after identifying the enemy and our forces, our army dispatches Soldiers go to clean up the enemy and give orders to completely wipe out the enemy who is obviously different from our own. But the ADE effect means that the enemy disguises itself as our army, so that our scouts can't detect the abnormality, and even pass the infection Utilizing the powerful strength of our army, we turn against each other and attack ourselves in turn. In this way, it only takes a short time for the whole line to collapse. This effect is not uncommon in history, such as the dengue virus, and the recent scientific research The sea ghost virus, which is being researched by the Academy, is also suspected to have similar properties."

A biology freshman concerned with current affairs asked abruptly: "Professor Yan, will the sea ghosts that appeared in the Third Ring Road develop similar mutations or evolutions like viruses, threatening the safety of the entire main city? "

"The RNA variation within a virus is different from that of the whole organism. The evolution of species takes time, and you should start learning how to use nucleotides to determine the time of biological divergence this year." Yan Ai said, "When you take that course, you will understand, At present, there has never been such a rapid evolution in the evolutionary history of life on Earth. The existing scientific theory proves that after a certain gene has undergone a special mutation, the individual needs to..."

Although Yan Ai talked endlessly about the knowledge he was very familiar with, a secret thought quietly rose in his heart: Can existing science really explain everything about sea ghosts?

You can even think worse: Is it possible that, before people realize how terrible sea ghosts are, sea ghosts have already infected a large number of military and police personnel or some high-level decision makers of human beings, using human beings to The defense force counterattacks the human beings, thus making all the extermination work in vain?Is it possible that even in the most basic research and prevention work on sea ghosts, there are minions of these terrifying monsters?

However, the entry and exit controls in the main city are extremely strict. Under the v-point system, everyone is firmly fixed at a certain point and maintains close grid-like social connections with many people.If a person is infected with parasites, the people around him will definitely notice the strangeness soon—of course, the parasitic sea ghosts also eat humans as their only food, even if they pretend to be adults and lurk in the crowd, they will succumb to the parasites in a short time. Hunger reveals the prototype.

If so, how long will this "soon" be?

Another student raised his hand to ask a question, Yan Ai had no choice but to suppress these sudden unfounded guesses for the time being, thinking that after the lecture was over, he would first go to Captain Lou to ask about the specific situation of the third ring.

At the post office on Ginkgo Road in the third ring, after Xu Pei'er reconfirmed that "there is no post and telecommunications message", she felt chills in the hot summer.

Xu Pei'er has a neighbor's child named Yuan Xi, who has great ambitions since he was a child. He is unwilling to follow the rules and follow the growth path of the lower-level residents of the third ring road.It's a pity that he failed the ranking for the second time this year, only missing three places.The neighbor's couple was old, uneducated, illiterate, and spent most of their life doing hard work, so they asked Teacher Xu Peier to come to the post office regularly to inquire about their son's situation outside the city.

Yuan Xi is a sensible young man. He recently joined the post office team outside the city, and he will at least send a message home every once in a while to report that he is safe.In the past half month, disasters happened frequently in the city, and Yuan Xi outside the city reported good news but not bad news, but the frequency of news came less and less. Seeing that the old couple became more and more worried, Xu Pei'er became anxious herself.She has seen with her own eyes how parasitic sea ghosts cannibalize people, and she knows that this is the case inside the city, but it may be worse outside the city. The danger is imminent, but the people in the third ring city don't think so.

History textbooks have divided the end-time era into 50 years ago, and the current era of the main city is considered to be the era of human prosperity and greatness.The horrific scenes that Xu Peier personally experienced were brought up in a few sentences in the news, and the concluding remarks were still calling on the residents of the main city to believe in the military and police forces, and the future will be bright.After all, although the psychiatric hospital on the outskirts of the city has become ruins after being cleaned by artillery fire, and although the rescued survivors are receiving psychological treatment, people living in the third ring and not in the suburbs still feel that the danger is far away from them. It can't happen to yourself.

As an ideological and moral teacher, Xu Peier actually has a lot of worries.The classrooms of the history of heroes and the construction history of the main city she taught at the community school were always full of seats, but any course next door that taught students to earn v-points faster would be so full that the corridors were full of auditors.The more the main city vigorously promotes ideological and moral education, the more rebellious these young people in the community schools will be. Although they will take the exam well for the sake of scores, they are often ashamed to abide by these rules in private.

The tighter the v-point system and ideological education bind the people in the main city, the stronger the people's desire to advocate the content of freedom and human rights in the "Law of the Main City", just like a compressed spring is more elastic.They believe that this set of moral concepts that Xu Peier is teaching is pedantic and outdated, and does not conform to the current background and trend of human prosperity. In this way, morality can no longer provide the soil for virtue, but only restrains the development of personality to meet the needs of governance the shackles.

As a young man, Xu Peier is also very contradictory, but she still chooses to believe everything she teaches almost pedantically—even though she often sees the opposite in real life.

When passing by a remote alley, Xu Pei'er couldn't help but stop these messy thoughts and slow down her pace.

She smelled a strong smell of blood.

After a while, a man in a black guard uniform walked out of the alley.The guard waved at Xu Pei'er, as if asking her to go over and show her ID.Xu Pei'er was rescued by Ding Taitai and others a few days ago, and she is very familiar with this outfit, and she has been quarantined before, and has undergone many inspections in the past few days, so she walked towards the alley without any suspicion.

When she reached the entrance of the alley, a person suddenly rushed over and grabbed her arm, and then ran away.

Xu Pei'er was staggered by the sudden impact, but before she could fall down, the person came and lifted her up directly.Xu Pei'er turned around to look at it in the bumps, and found that the man carrying her like a sack was Captain Ding Taitai, and the guard at the alleyway was chasing after a few steps before being stabbed by Zhan Yiye who suddenly appeared The heart was pierced, and bright green blood gushed out.

Both Zhan Yiye and Ding Taitai were obviously exhausted, their faces were bruised and purple, and there were many holes in their black uniforms, but their expressions were terribly sharp and persistent.Within a few minutes, there was a team of city defense troops on routine patrol on their way forward, but the two immediately turned around and changed directions, put Xu Pei'er down and dragged her into another alley.

Xu Pei'er roughly guessed something, but knowing that it was not appropriate to ask at this time, she tried her best to keep up with their speed without saying a word.These two police officers had saved her, and she chose to trust them completely in such a critical moment.

Within a few minutes, Ding Taitai pulled her into a dilapidated alley and asked her to enter through a narrow back door. Someone inside would meet her and explain the situation to her.Xu Pei'er thanked them, and hurried in, not delaying the two of them for a second.Zhan Yiye and Ding Taitai didn't seem to have expected that the rescue would go so smoothly. They looked at her back in surprise, and rushed to the next place without stopping.

Xu Pei'er is no stranger to this back door, it is the exit she used to attend the Mutual Aid Association at No. 23 Ginkgo Road.At this time, someone inside the door escorted her to the basement. It was a police officer named He Rongsheng, who briefly explained the current situation.

All the changes broke out in just half an afternoon, but the fuse may have been buried three days ago.

I do not know when, a large number of military and police personnel were infected.Because the magic talisman reagent suddenly failed, the teams sent out to investigate suspicious persons relaxed their vigilance in front of the "similar", and the infection was very rapid.At present, it is known that the staff of many key departments have been infected. They suddenly opened their mouths full of fangs to their own people, and strategically controlled the ratio of infection and direct consumption, making the security defense line in the third ring Collapsing rapidly in self-cannibalization.

Zhan Yiye and others accidentally discovered this terrifying phenomenon during the mission, and reported it to their superiors in time, but the superiors did not know if someone obstructed it, and the support was delayed.Captain Lou was naturally included in the report, but he was in the first ring and beyond his reach, so he had to quickly coordinate with the military and police personnel of the third ring and the adjacent second ring to formulate emergency measures, and immediately came together with other security department officials.

At present, Team Ten and Tago's armed forces are doing grassroots rescue work, trying to rescue the surviving people from the hands of fake military and police personnel.

This rescue is destined to have little effect.

Everything happened too suddenly, and the combat effectiveness of a large number of infected elite military and police forces was far beyond human comparison.Perhaps they had been lurking for nearly three days. They were so hungry that they didn't even want to put on human skins. They turned into primitive sea ghosts one after another, wriggling their bodies covered with slippery scales, and ravaged wildly in the densely populated third-ring city. Feed - like a shark coming to a big pond full of small fish.

Security services did their best, but the chaos continued to mount.The Leitu system, which people had high hopes for, did not move at all.

This feast of gluttony was extremely extravagant and wasteful. The appetite and greed of the sea ghosts who had let go of their hands and feet were as strong as fuel on the fire. They swept the streets and upstairs, opened their mouths to bite people when they saw people, and died when they were full. Non-stop, playfully compete with other companions, only eat a certain part of a person, and then play tricks on a mouse to see how long a person can live.

Residual limbs and broken arms can be seen everywhere, and the red blood spreads a sticky thick layer on the stone road, and after drying, it will cover a new layer, over and over again.

Purgatory on earth, nothing more.

The catastrophe lasted for two days.Two days later, the Three Rings fell.

Owning 30% of the area of ​​the main city and 60% of the population, the third ring has completely become a paradise for sea ghosts.They are looking for fresh food in the crowded streets and alleys. The rattling sound and human screams and cries come and go, converging into a huge sound wave, flooding this piece of land that originally belonged to humans.

When sea ghosts appeared in the mental hospital for the first time, there were only hundreds of them. They besieged the administrative building and infected dozens of medical staff, but they were quickly wiped out by the soldiers who came.Within a week, people forgot about it.

The second large-scale outbreak of sea ghosts was also in a mental hospital. Hundreds of people were killed and injured, and they were even cleaned up with large-scale ammunition.But after a few days of stable life, people are about to forget about it.

On that ordinary afternoon, when the news of the sudden outbreak of sea ghosts had just spread throughout the Third Ring Road, many people were unwilling to believe it—even though they saw this legendary monster with their own eyes.The General Security Bureau and the City Defense Army Headquarters in the main city were mobilized to implement comprehensive control over the third ring road, but many people with strong emotions were unwilling to obey the control. They behaved like stubborn springs at that time, resolutely begging the main city for a long time "Human rights" and shouted the slogan "give me freedom or give me death", so they died as they wished.

The tide of sea ghosts gradually broke through the suppression and spread to every corner of the third ring.Some people kill relatives and friends around them as bait or shields to buy just a few seconds for themselves to escape; A piece of music that I love most, and then I ended my life...

The sea ghost rushed into the residential building, and when it was feasting, it touched the buttons of the radio.A recording of ideology and morality formulas came out on the radio. According to the usual practice, residents of the main city have to take multiple exams every year. Many people will listen to the shorthand formulas before the exams-human beings are a big family, and it is not advisable to kill each other.Work is glorious, robbing and shameful, building a homeland with the enemy...

Sea ghosts can't understand these things, or even if they can understand, they don't care.No species cares what social relationships or good qualities its food possesses.Food only needs to be edible.

Of course, there are also many ordinary residents who have never used weapons in their lives. They are forced to pick up kitchen knives and compete with alien species for the right to survive in the most primitive and bloody way.When many of them raised their weapons with trembling hands, they suddenly discovered that from now on, the life of licking blood with the tip of a knife will no longer be exclusive to people outside the city.

The 50 years of peaceful and comfortable life have made the new generation who grew up in the main city forget the hatred and shame of the past, the heroes and humans before the city was built, and the human beings who used to not need to be trapped in narrow and crowded high-rises. Within the walls, and unusually slow to the crisis.They point the finger at the same kind, regard ignorance as a trendy personality, forget the cruel and sad history, and finally pay the forgetful bill with their lives.

After 50 years of self-captivity, the residents of the main city who are used to growing to death in a square inch have never been so clearly aware of this fact——

It turns out that the end of the world is never far away.

Sorry, sorry babes, I'm late!I finally survived this week of war and chaos. Can I make up (as much as possible) the content of the few days off I asked for (as if my body was hollowed out and lying down) these days?

Also, I'm finally about to hit the point!That's right, this seemingly unattractive title is actually designed orz is the bridge I've been waiting for for a long time (excited rubbing hands
