Prologue.Chapter Zero.Blindness9(1/3)

On a deserted and silent street, garbage was blowing in the wind. The street was filled with a large number of scrapped cars. Some of the cars were rusty. There was no one on the street. There were black marks on the ground, as if they were something.
What remains after solidification looks like a humanoid.
Surrounded by empty high-rise buildings, not a single person can be seen. The sky is hazy, with only a circle of light behind the clouds. At this time, a shining light seems a bit dazzling. On the top of a car, there is a silver watch.
, the workmanship looks very fine, except for some dust adhering to the surface, the watch is still moving.
Click click click click
In this empty and silent street, the crisp sound of the clock moving was particularly clear.
time
June 13, 2076, 7:19 am
This is a seaport city located in the south of the Atlantic Ocean. It was once the kingdom of football. Flags of some teams can be seen everywhere on the streets, as well as sculptures of some famous players, including stars representing honor.
Some black solidified human-shaped marks can be seen at regular intervals on the ground. There are a lot of them, some are single, and some are several human marks superimposed on each other.
Food, banknotes and water can be seen scattered in some places, as well as a lot of weapons and ammunition. There is always black dust floating in the air, dust visible to the naked eye like gravel, floating gently in the city, sometimes rising and sometimes falling.
At this time, a bird landed in front of a bag of food, looked around suspiciously, then stretched out its head and began to peck at the bag. Soon the bag was pecked open, and the bird began to eat the food in the bag.
A bit laid back and doesn't seem to care much about everything around him.
Soon the bird was full, and it flew to the top of a car, beating, as if looking for something. However, the bird's body was a little strange at this time, and some black scabs could be seen under its feathers, like
The surface was as rough as stone, and the birds began to preen their feathers.
After a while, the bird flew up, and quickly flew to the top of a tall building, landing in a place with stronger sunlight. It looked around, as if looking for its companions, but there was nothing to be seen anywhere in the city.
, at this time the bird looked to the east, something was moving slowly on the sea, the bird spread its wings and flew towards the east.
bursts of noisy voices
At a harbor, people were densely packed like ants, waiting for the arrival of the ship. Some ships that had already set sail had already sailed into the distance, and many people showed desperate expressions.
Almost all boats from all over the country are concentrated here. Most people just want to escape from this city that has become a place of death. Most people coming from all over the country have hope that this is the only place they can escape.
, heading to North America, or Europe across the ocean, is the only hope for people here.
A large number of soldiers armed with weapons, using the outer edge of the harbor as the dividing line, are confronting the people who are still pouring in from outside. Many people are talking in various directions, hoping to pass, but almost no one dares to step forward.
Because someone who moved forward was shot directly.
The soldiers looked at the people gathered in horror. They were wearing gas masks and fully armed. Behind the six-level checkpoint, they stared intently at the people outside.
Thirty meters away from a temporary tent at the checkpoint, a large number of people were queuing up. In the large tent, there were many medical equipment and examination equipment. A man looked at the medical staff wearing fifth-level protective clothing not far away in horror.
Experts, they just took the man's blood.
The man seemed to be praying for something, and soon a medical scientist nodded, indicating that the man could pass.
The man seemed to have obtained the key to heaven. He kept saying thank you excitedly and passed the metal house behind the temporary tent.
At the signal of the medical scientist, a woman 30 meters away hurriedly ran over. She was a little tired and rolled up her sleeves as soon as she came over. Immediately, several medical scientists came over to draw blood.
Testing has been going on here for nearly a month. There are a total of 10 monitoring points. They can only test 3,000 to 4,000 people a day, and it takes 3 minutes to test one person at the fastest. It is not just here, there are such places in other seaports, but they are larger.
Some people are coming here.
Nowadays, most people who come here only dare to go around and live on the edge of the city. Some local medical scientists have sent people to put up warning signs to tell people not to go to the city, because there are extremely
Possibly infected with this annihilation virus.
The fatality rate is 100%. Once infected without any medical treatment, the human body tissues will be completely decomposed, and the virus’s survivability is extremely strong. It can survive for at least 5 days and will adhere to the surfaces of many things and seaports.
The wind blowing into the city has become the biggest savior of mankind at present, but it is only temporary.
Medical scientists understand that it is impossible to solve this virus now, because the structure of this virus is too complex. It is a type that has never appeared in the human world since the beginning of history. It is certain that with the hope of the asteroid
Spread out after the explosion.
The virus has spread in less than a month and has killed millions of people. Contact has been lost in many places. No one knows where to go to be safe, but the only way is to hide in a tight place.
At home, avoid contact with humans.
There are currently more than 100,000 people waiting for the ship at the port. They need to be tested before boarding the ship. As long as one person is infected, no one will survive on the ship. There is currently no one carrying the virus.
An example of people surviving.
"I can't do it anymore!"
As a male medical scientist said this, he walked out of the tent and came to the metal room. Then he quickly threw his clothes into the incinerator and jumped naked into a pool of anti-virus solution. Soon he came to another metal room.
After entering the room, I lay down on the sofa tiredly. After a while, the door of the room opened and another female medical scientist entered.
"Saravia, I think this place is no longer viable. We have now obtained most of the virus samples and can leave."
As the man said, the woman walked over, picked up the cup, and poured a cup of hot coffee. She shook her head.
"Neo! Are you going to abandon this place?"
The male medical scientist named Neo laughed and shook his head.
"It's not about abandoning or not abandoning, but we have to make a choice. After all, the president has gone to the safety of North America. The naive soldiers are still executing orders, and the citizens are still thinking about being rescued. I
I can’t stand everything that’s so heavy!”
Saravia laughed.
"At present we still know nothing about this virus. If we go back now..."
"Look at the situation in the city, Saravia. There is no time or opportunity for us to stay any longer. I have been working for 20 hours straight and now I am very tired."
Saravia leaned over, sat next to Neo, and pressed his hand. Both of them were internationally renowned virologists. They worked in a testing facility in North America and did not belong to this country.
Although they are from this country, they are basically away from home all year round and rarely come back. This time they received instructions from high-level officials to at least obtain virus samples. This is for the future of mankind.
After bringing back the virus sample, you can rely on AI to analyze it, and one day you will know the true appearance of the virus.
"There is hope for these people, as long as we complete the testing, some people can get on the ship and at least go to some safe places."
"Safety?"
Neo laughed.
"There is no safe place in the world, and do you really think they will let the ship dock?"
"What do you mean Neo?"
Saravia asked, and Neo had closed his eyes. He didn't want to answer Saravia's question anymore, because he no longer planned to say anything to this woman. She wanted to save more people, so they
It has been delayed here for half a month, and as the supervisor, Neo has been criticized by many people below.
The reason why he continues to stay here is that Saravia convinced Neo again and again. Neo's patience has reached the limit. The ship that set sail a few days ago has not come back to pick up the people. Neo knows that something is wrong.
.
Europe may be relatively safe nowadays, but some ships bound for Europe may bring the virus with them. This is what Neo is worried about, so he plans to go to Europe to negotiate with someone from another international virus organization.
I hope I can convince them to give them some AI medical equipment and let me take them back.
Neo also plans to inform the past about the situation here, so he has used an unmanned aerial camera to record the tragic situation of human extinction in the past month.
Once this kind of annihilation virus is infected, the initial symptom is body muscle weakness, and then it will fall into an incubation period, which is usually only 7 days, but now it can be detected through blood testing, and after seven days, this annihilation virus will begin to rewrite
Human beings' NDA directly turns human beings into particles. This is what is already known.
After the virus breaks out, humans will continue to lose body fluids, and then slowly become like withered plants, and finally turn into a pile of sticky decomposing substances, and the appearance of death is extremely terrifying.
Basically, from the initial two days of muscle weakness to the seven days of incubation, it will explode on the tenth day. The outbreak virus can completely decompose a person in only 8 hours.
The speed at which viruses rewrite human DNA is terrifying, and how exactly viruses do this is currently unknown.
Neo knows very well that it only takes one particle of such a virus to break out in human society, and it is enough to destroy all mankind. This is just the beginning, and Neo knows that a large-scale outbreak has begun in southern North America.
If the remaining countries in North America do nothing, soon there will be no living creatures on this land.
Not only humans, but also animals. Almost all animals visible to the naked eye have been extinct. Rinho has hardly seen anything in the past few days.
However, just when Neo was about to close his eyes, he saw a bird flying in the sky outside the window. In an instant, Neo woke up. Saravia, who had closed her eyes and was resting, suddenly woke up.
.
Neo's head was buzzing. He had been working non-stop for 20 consecutive hours. His thinking had become extremely developed and he couldn't stop at all. In an instant, Neo screamed in horror.
"Everyone put on protective clothing and prepare to evacuate, evacuate!"
To be continued...
