At 4 a.m., the sky was still dark.

On the 5 square kilometer circle, the frontline personnel were evacuated in batches by the command center, but did not know that this was an emergency evacuation.

From the very beginning, front-line personnel have done a series of radiation tests there, not at all detected high-intensity abnormal radiation, but of course there is natural radiation.

But now no one in the top management can be sure whether there is a kind of “isolocust radiation” in those “natural radiations” that can invade human genes?

How was human DNA used to be?

This “before” refers to the origin stage of mammals many and many years ago, a few hundred million years ago.

Before modern humans complete the whole genome sequencing, it is difficult to believe the fact that about 5-8% of the human genome information comes from ancient viruses. Most of them are retroviruses. These viruses can invade the host’s cells, and then implant their own genes into the host’s DNA to achieve parasitic.

These viral genes will participate in the operation of the host cell and be modified to the way they want to operate. Retroviruses can also be transmitted to the next generation of the host with sperm or eggs, and then to the next generation, thereby becoming endogenous retroviruses.

The reason why human beings are today’s humans is that they look like these, with those organs and tissues, the nerves and thinking of the brain … inseparable from these viral genes.

After a long time of several hundred million years, humans and these viruses have long been a symbiosis.

Not only humans, but mammals.

If you knocked out some of these viral genes, the scientific community had done little white mouse experiments before, and the little white mouse soon died.

These viral genes are in a relatively stable state in the human body, and if any new virus also wants to join this symbiosis, such as HIV virus-this is also a retrovirus, then there is a big problem, it will cause The so-called diseases are difficult to deal with.

However, implanting a virus carrying a specific foreign gene into the human body to achieve therapeutic effects is a direction of gene therapy.

So, is it possible that the causative agent of locust disease is a piece of specific genetic information, which is implanted into human genes by radiation or causes specific gene mutations?

“Hypothesis and acute infection hypothesis” “Parasitic gene hypothesis”

Wang Ruoxiang’s two hypotheses about locustization were immediately highly valued by the command center.

She has always been a school bully and a smart man. Although these hypotheses are undetermined, there are good reasons.

The first is that the patient’s whole body tissues can be transformed into different locusts, which is likely to be at the cellular, DNA, and genetic level.

The second is the possible connection in the mutation region. Nuclear radiation can mutate DNA and have a genetic effect.

In fact, before this, the scientific research section has done some DNA testing comparisons, comparing patients with parasites and comparing patients with each other, just to see if there are traces of virus intrusion. Now the command center also supports the hypothesis of scientific research section, but the detection will take time.

Except for the 6 patients with different locusts in the body who were urgently transferred to another empty and isolated building, the other patients could not be transferred temporarily.

The infection range formed by Cui Principal Self-destruction, that is, the possible radiation range, with him as the center point, has a circular area of ​​about 8000 square meters.

“I keep thinking, what’s so special about the unusual dirt?”

This is another reason why Wang Ruoxiang made such a hypothesis. It is no different from the component detection, but has the soil there been already contaminated by another kind of radiation? The difference is that the existing detection technology can not be analyzed? The insect egg in the soil is not the key at all, but may also be the product of radiation.

Among these thoughts of hers, it was the thought that made Tong Ye the most anxious.

If that wasteland is really another mutation area … then it is only more sinister than the nuclear radiation mutation area.

They can’t even figure out where the dividing line is, there is no obvious radiation, movement and change, and there may be changes but they are not noticed, because the wasteland and grassland are almost everywhere, and there are already few people there, as long as the buildings and roads do not disappear, No one knows even some minor changes.

“If the wasteland is also connected to a different space, the things in the two spaces can only enter and leave their respective spaces, like the mutation area. But what if Li Yuhao, the insect carrier, is not? Can they enter the different space?”

Wang Ruoxiang’s idea is also very reasonable. Even if Mobe is sparsely populated here, with the technology and manpower of the Tianji Bureau, the other party will be more than 300 people, it is difficult to find their whereabouts. Existing monitoring clues indicate that either they were heading towards the wasteland, or the cars were still parked there.

Where did they go? Another space? Like the motley cat, like the locusts.

Compared with these people, the primary task of the command center now is to deal with everyone who has gone to the wasteland area.

Will these people become insect carriers?

If the radiation is really spread, and the self-destruction before the insect carrier is not strong enough to infect others, the only good thing is that a large number of contacts or indirect contacts do not need to be isolated and supervised. In addition, there may also be a dose equivalent. People who have passed the safety value are sick, and people who have not passed the safety value are in the recessive period.

Cui Principal They stayed for about 1.5 hours that day without any protection. This is the exact value that can be tested.

Some stationed personnel have been there for more than 30 hours and have worked shifts, but the temporary camp is there.

Even when wearing protective clothing, the duration of exposure to radiation exceeds dozens of times …

Therefore, this evacuation was carried out in secret and could not arouse the suspicion of front-line personnel, because no one knows what their state is now.

As for the GOA Concentric team, it was hurriedly recalled on the side of the nuclear radiation mutation area.

At that time, a total of 12 members entered the wasteland, including 6 personnel from the Tianji Bureau, Lou Xiaoning, Feng Wei, Deng Ximei, Peacock, Mo Qing, and Uncle Egg. They arrived at the same time and left at the same time. They all stayed for 31 minutes, made a trip, and were transferred again.

So these 12 people have the possibility of infection, but because of different physique and inconsistent dose equivalents, the symptoms shown are different.

Among them, peacocks are the most symptomatic.

At this time, the concentric team was still on the evacuation road, and Peacock was in a separate car, doing a small experiment.

She put Catherine in control of her body and retreated herself to the second personality. This change, Catherine suddenly had a weird feeling of being physiologically affected, because she was not as powerful as the Peacock’s Spiritual Power, and the impact was more intense. “I’m so hungry … I want to eat mud. There is a resistance that makes me not Say……”

On the contrary, the peacock felt a lot easier.

Ever since she suddenly had the idea of ​​eating an locust, she has kept herself thinking but has been lingering, but now she is calm.

This also means … their body is indeed infected with locust disease.

There was silence in the secret command room. Tong Ye, Yao Shinian and the others all looked very ugly, and the situation slipped more and more towards Wang Ruoxiang’s hypothesis.

Before they even thought about it, another bad news came out urgently from the communication station, “Some people refuse to evacuate from the front line of the wasteland! Some people refuse to evacuate!”

A total of 5 personnel from the curse department, 10 from the old printing department, and other institutions and sections.

These 178 people are the frontline garrison personnel and are active in the area of ​​2 square kilometers of wasteland.

“Call me over there!” Tong Ye sighed, and the Chief-In-Charge over there was Yu Xiaoyong sent by the spell department.

Yu Xiaoyong, the former Captain of the Arctic Wolf Squad, has always performed well. It is also high hopes to join the spell department, but later because of practicing the “Secret of 7 Secret sect Code” syndrome, the insanity occurred, and Wang Ruoxiang and the Others were banned together, but were reinstated together last year.

Tong Ye urged everyone to re-use Wang Ruoxiang and Yu Xiaoyong, and if any of them rebelled again, everyone would be affected.

And now, as it is now, the Tianji Bureau does not need more chaos …

Soon, the image on the front of the wasteland appeared on the communication screen. It was Yu Xiaoyong’s tense face in the temporary camp headquarters.

Behind him, there is a team of people, all familiar faces of Tong Ye and Yao Shinian, who were selected into the curse department and the old seal department in person.

“Tongye … We ate a lot of mud, at first, but suddenly … I was unable to bear …” Yu Xiaoyong’s messy words quickly became slightly trembling, and his eyes were red. “We are all unable to bear, I think Say, but the body is restrained, as if there is a voice to stop, I can’t fight … “

It turned out that these people had not lost their minds, and they were not sick to that extent.

But they knew what was happening to them now, and guessed that the personnel transfer was not simple.

“I can feel that some parts of my body are transforming … I can see the insect in my palm …” Yu Xiaoyong choked back, “I’m not saved, I can’t help, we eat too much mud.” It ’s enough to transform … When we go back, if we do n’t eat mud, we will lose our senses, and if we stay here, we will also go crazy. Those of us will always lose control … “

Seniors like Tongye and Yao Shinian were also at a loss.

The rational monitoring stone has no effect. This is not dark erosion, but radiation and mutation.

“We wrote the suicide note before we set off, and it was used this time … 163 of us here, 82 of whom are willing to commit suicide, and the spells and old Indians are all willing, and the rest of our colleagues, we do n’t make reluctance. But I suggest using missile Blow up here, don’t let them go, they will become enemies …

We have to act, while we are still sane, while we are still … mud, we want mud, and eat more, we can see God … as if there is a voice saying this, maybe I can spell, I listen To more … Flying locust team, I think I can become a flying locust … No, I am Yu Xiaoyong …

Now, do n’t look at the screen, but it may be valuable to record … Tongye, sir, sorry, our battle is here … “

Yu Xiaoyong saluted a military salute to the camera. The right hand pulled out a pistol around his waist, aimed it at his head, and pulled the trigger.

Slam! The bullet passed through the head, spilling blood, and also the white translucent locust larvae.

The others behind him, with pain, struggle and determination, also raised their guns.

Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang …

There were ten 5 shots in total.
