Chapter 278 Chaos
4026年12月25日15时38分，由远星际席卷而来的R质子蔓延到多个星球，引起几十万生物的异变。
All of humanity fell into panic and chaos. Except for the main planet, all kinds of nutrient solutions, compressed foods, medicines, water and other things sold in shopping malls on almost all planets were frantically snatched away.
At 16:40 on the main star, the research institute led by Dong Zhaoxian was ready to activate the latest developed protective device.
At this time, the top floor of the Ring Star skyscraper on the main star, which towered into the clouds, was crowded with people. They all looked up at the gradually darkening sky, with expressions of fear, despair, or tension on their faces.
The endless cries echoed on the top floor, and even the air around them became humid and stuffy.
"No...my husband hasn't come back yet..."
The woman had been crying since she appeared here, and she cried until she collapsed on the ground. The makeup on her face was wet with tears, and she looked completely unpresentable, but she didn't care about these little things.
The man she loved most was on a business trip to another planet. He was supposed to come back this morning, but because of a sudden illness of a client, he had to stay there.
"I beg you to wait a little longer. He will definitely come back. I beg you... wuwu..."
The man next to her squatted down, looked at her with tears in his eyes, and said sadly: "My wife took the three children to travel. I can't imagine what kind of torture they are going through at this moment."
"My father is still out there, you can't do this!"
One sound after another rang out, and the people who had burst into silence released their inner emotions.
"Those are real human lives. If the success rate of evolution is so low, wouldn't it be like just letting them die in vain?"
"How dare I stay alone on the main planet? If we're going to die, let's die together!"
"I heard that the Admiral hasn't come back yet, are you so cruel to abandon him?!"
The mixed sound of grief-stricken roars and desperate cries for help stimulated Chen Qihang's eardrums. He clenched his hands together, staring at the giant protective equipment that penetrated the clouds and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Qin Yang put one hand on his shoulder and whispered to comfort him: "With the admiral here, Zhou Zhou will be fine."
"They can't come back." Chen Qihang frowned and sighed.
I saw a faint blue light in the gray sky ahead, and in an instant a thick and impenetrable film formed.
The woman screamed instantly, she got up and rushed to the railing, climbing up frantically, but was pulled down by the federal soldiers guarding nearby in just two seconds.
The scene was in chaos and out of control. Chen Qihang was held tightly in Qin Yang's arms. He glanced at the men and women who were in a frenzy and felt something stuck in his throat. "No one could have guessed that death would come so quickly and so suddenly. People outside can't come in, and people inside can't pass through the barrier without special pass items. Qin Yang, can we still get out?"
Qin Yang lowered his green eyes, his young face becoming mature at this moment. He put away his reckless character, hugged the man tightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Human potential is unlimited, and we can always make the impossible possible. The mecha frame has been successfully constructed, and it is only a matter of time before it is fully manufactured."
Chen Qihang raised his eyes to meet his handsome face which was much more stable, and said seriously: "Qin Yang, I want to enter the research institute."
Qin Yang pursed his lips and said resolutely: "Okay, I'll go with you."
No matter where Chen Qihang wanted to go, he wanted to follow him and never leave his side.
We don’t know what will happen tomorrow, and who knows how long the protective equipment can last. He is not a god, but just a human. He cannot guarantee that he will not die from R proton infection one day in the future.
He just wanted to stay by his lover's side in his last days.
He tightened his arms, tightly wrapped around Chen Qihang's thin and flexible waist, lowered his eyes and looked at Chen Qihang's slightly frowned brows, "Why, you don't want to?"
"Qin Yang, your abilities should be used in mecha research and development. The research institute is not suitable for you." Chen Qihang shook his head, his tone brooking no refusal. He pulled Qin Yang's hand down, and his palm slid down and intertwined with his warm palm, becoming inseparable.
Qin Yang remained silent, with no emotion visible on his face. He held Chen Qihang's hand with his backhand, walked through the noisy crowd, and left the Huanxing skyscraper.
……
On January 4027, 1, the new year arrived quietly. It should have been a festive day, but no one smiled.
The heavy atmosphere always weighed on their hearts, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.
There were only a few passers-by on the main star's busiest street, and most people stayed at home, staring at the black screen.
After two minutes of silence, the screen suddenly lit up white, and the top leader of the Federal Club appeared in front of everyone.
"I'm sorry that I couldn't wish you all a Happy New Year." The man on the screen took a few steps back, bent down and bowed deeply.
"First of all, I would like to thank the Technical Department for repairing the communication network. In three hours, the network on the main planet will be restored to its previous state."
"Next, I will talk about the current conditions of other planets."
"I hope everyone in front of the screen can remain calm." The man looked at the direction of the camera with a sad look, his eyes red.
The screen image suddenly changed. The first thing that came into view was a gray sky. The picture moved with the camera lens. The visibility was low in the city filled with thick smoke. Various vehicles could be vaguely seen fallen to the ground on the street. The surroundings were filled with an atmosphere of depression and desolation.
It's despairing and suffocating.
"This is a side star that is relatively close to the main star. According to data from detection instruments, most of the creatures on this planet have undergone mutations." These words struck everyone's heart.
Those with low psychological defenses have covered their mouths and are sobbing silently in front of the screen.
"Next is the largest shopping mall in Pangxing. There are still survivors inside. We are trying to find a way to rescue them."
Just as he finished speaking, several mutants with tumors all over their bodies and hunched backs appeared at the entrance of the mall. They seemed to be aware of the presence of the filming equipment and roared with their bloody fangs bared.
The shrill and creepy voice reached everyone's ears through the screen, making their hair stand on end and their scalps tingle.
The scene changed, and the man's figure appeared in front of everyone again.
"I think everyone knows that this is one of the results of evolutionary failure, the lowest level of mutants - tumoroids."
"These mutants all have one thing in common: they can't see, but their hearing is extremely sharp. Their movements are slightly slow, but they are at least three times stronger than ordinary humans. Their fatal weakness is in their brains."
"Since there are different levels, there will naturally be high-level mutants. Due to our current limited capabilities, we are unable to capture more accurate information."
……
"Finally, I have good news for you all. Among the tens of thousands of people coming from other planets, the twenty people with super powers who have successfully evolved will become the solid guardians of all mankind in the end of the world. Everyone..."
No one was happy about this good news, as it was the result of countless deaths.
Peace is gone, and a life of laziness is no longer possible. Although the main planet is safe, it is not permanently safe. They have to find a way to survive successfully before the protective devices fail.
At the same time, a dilapidated spaceship was slowly moving in the vast universe, gradually approaching the aqua blue planet in the distance.
In the spacecraft control room, Zhou Zhou was awakened by a sharp roar.
He suddenly opened his eyes and met Pei Yanlie's dark and calm eyes, which were still filled with confusion as if he had just woken up. "I must be dreaming."
Pei Yanlie shook his head, "You slept for so long, are you confused?"
Zhou Zhou rubbed his heavy eyelids. After a moment of silence, he asked weakly, "Pei Yanlie, how long have I been unconscious?"
Pei Yanlie raised his hand to push aside his bangs, lowered his head and kissed him lightly, his voice almost squeezed out from between his teeth: "Five days."
[Sure enough, is this the consequence of a rookie using his mental power? ]
Zhou Zhou let out a sigh of relief. Although his mental control was amazing, just controlling a small movement drained his mental strength.
Really, I want to cry but I have no tears!
[Other people can live through a thousand years and gain amazing abilities after being in a coma for one or two hours, but I couldn't even have a good dream after being in a coma for five days, haha.]
