Chapter 168

The plane to Cali successfully arrived at its destination, but did not choose the airport in Cali to land because it was too far from the destination. There are no human beings living in California now, so we only need to find an open space large enough near the destination to land.

Personnel wearing insect-proof clothing carried vehicles with insect-proof coatings and came out of the modified aircraft. The weapons that appeared on both sides contained insect-proof gel instead of bullets. No insects could enter the sprayed areas. .

The vehicle is surrounded by a space made of anti-insect gel. The outside of this protective circle is full of insects from top to bottom. The passengers inside cannot see anything outside and rely on the satellite positioning system to navigate in the general direction.

It took nearly five hours after arriving to arrive at the location Barney mentioned. Personnel wearing protective suits got out of the car cautiously. It took another two hours to find out what was needed to enter the underground research institute. Entrance.

This is just based on the scanning results of the instrument. This underground research institute is full of insects. According to the orders issued by superiors, this is probably the source of insect mutation. It is uncertain whether the current anti-insect chemicals can be effective, let alone what they need. It survived inside those insect mouths.

The heavily armed warriors were prepared for anything, including sacrifice. They did not enter through the entrance after discovering it. Two hours allowed them to understand the general structure of the institute.

All underground buildings need to have air circulation channels. They injected a large amount of newly developed gaseous insect repellent and anesthetic mixed gas into the air vents they found, waited for enough time, and used small machines to detect Put the device in through the vent and make sure there is no movement of insects inside before preparing to go in.

Wearing masks on their faces, all the oxygen needed for breathing was supplied by the oxygen tanks they carried. The first team opened the long-sealed entrance and entered.

Barney doesn't know what's going on inside, and all he can provide is the information revealed by his teacher Klaus. But when there are no resisters, modern technology can be of great use.

Soon the scanned image of this underground building appeared on their glasses, and some areas were in a state that would only exist after a strong explosion.

Considering the research that may have been conducted here, and after questioning the Canadians who came to Yu, they revealed that they had heard sounds similar to explosions in this area, and they determined that the target was likely to be in that area.

Along the way, we tried our best to get rid of those insects that were just incapacitated but not completely dead. The smell of burning insects and the fragrance of these insects made no one have the appetite to eat.

The walls and doors that were destroyed by the explosion were directly dismantled by violent means, and the contents inside were also pressed together by numerous heavy objects. The first team left the underground research institute before the oxygen in their bodies was about to run out, and replaced them with the second team that had been prepared for a long time.

The three teams took turns searching underground, guarding outside, and resting. It took them two full days in the research institute before they found a seal in line with Klaus' statement between two twisted metal pieces that looked like tables. Tight box.

They first carefully took the box out, processed it, and then transported it to the plane for someone to open it. The team responsible for the search continued their mission until they were sure that the box was what they were looking for and that there was no other valuable information left in the underground research institute. Then they took the most stringent precautions to contain the insects in the underground research institute as possible uses. The research samples began to return to Yu State.

He hasn't gone back yet, but he is still on the plane. The experts responsible for opening the box, according to the leader's request, in order to shorten the research time as much as possible, transmit the contents of the box to the country.

There are two important pieces of information in the safe that Klaus left behind. One is the copied important research data, and the other is the diary he recorded after participating in the research.

All these contents are in the Cali language, so after the information was transmitted, the Cali language experts who had been waiting for a long time began to busy translating these into the Yu language. Every time a part was translated, this part of the content was passed on. To the Institute.

The language experts responsible for translation also have a rich understanding of biological knowledge and are able to carry out accurate translations.

The Cali language expert first translated the research data. During the translation process, he realized the importance of this information and gradually became excited: "This will bring new hope for solving the insect disaster."

After he worked tirelessly to completely translate the research data, he was still in a state of uncontrollable excitement. He was forced to take a short rest for a few hours by his assistant. The first time after he woke up, he started to investigate Klaus. Translation of diary.

It's just that this time the translation process no longer maintains an exciting mood. The first-person narrative above allows people to re-experience the hidden sin from Klaus's perspective, and deeply feel Klaus's transformation from excitement to doubt. , a transition from fear to pain and finally self-blame.

At the last moment, Klaus only realized that the locust plague they caused was destroying his country and even the world, but he did not realize how big a disaster that locust plague would eventually cause.

Just the guilt caused by the loss to his country made Klaus strongly demand the disclosure of the experiment contents at the risk of being punished, and he had a premonition that his death was coming.

Before he died, he could not leave the institute. All he could do was to hide the data in the metal box according to the previous arrangement. In fact, he did not have any hope that his preparations would be seen again one day.

However, mankind did not completely go to the dead end.

After all, Klaus's records were brought to this world.

The experts in the Yuguo Research Institute were completely unaware of the news that the country sent a team to California. Until the original and translated versions of the data were sent to the institute, all the researchers who saw the data went crazy.

They paused their work, read the data and held several discussion meetings, and proposed a new idea, arranging members of their team to conduct part of the experiment first.

The new research direction brought to them by these data allowed them to study the strange gene from the root. Eating and sleeping became less important. They immersed themselves in research every day until the body gave a warning and they were willing to eat something, rest for a while, and continue to work after they recovered.

The staff who were responsible for taking care of them were inevitably a little frightened when they saw the crazy research state of these precious researchers, fearing that someone would collapse at the research post.

After reporting their concerns about this situation, the instructions they received were just to take care of their lives as much as possible. Therefore, various medical rescue measures were on standby at any time, watching these researchers squeeze their bodies, destroy their health, and look for the slim hope of solving the problem of mankind.

They are racing against time.

While the institute was busy with research, the news that Yu State had sent a team to Caracas was just discovered by some countries. Before they could formulate the wording to question the Yu State government, Yu State took the initiative to announce to the world the causes and consequences of sending people to Caracas this time, as well as the final results.

Klaus's research record has been published. Considering the safety of the original people of Caracas, Klaus's diary has not been published for the time being.

Even so, people can determine from the research record that the source of the insect plague is from Caracas. The personnel who issued the research order either died with Caracas or lost contact, and can only vent this hatred on the people who originally belonged to Caracas.

For a while, except for the Caracas in Yu Country who can still receive the same treatment as before, many countries began to oppose Caracas living in their countries.

As the country that announced this news, Yu Country advocates that the whole world can focus on this original research data and find a solution to the insect plague as soon as possible. Everyone should work together to resist the insect plague at the last moment.

But in the more than two years since the insect plague came, people's mental state will inevitably be affected. Those scientists were still able to devote all their efforts to research, but most ordinary people could not help in the process of research, but the pain and despair of so many years finally had an outlet for venting.

Tragedy is inevitable.

The Yu government did not want to see such a scene, but they were too busy to take care of themselves. Before the direction of solving the insect plague was studied, they had to do their best to protect their people.

After the spring, the new cities in many cities of Yu were finally announced to be completed, and began to protect the people to move to the new cities.

After a few months of insects rampant, almost no outdoor plants survived, and the air gradually changed due to the lack of plants. The temperature was getting higher and higher, and natural disasters such as sandstorms and mudslides occurred frequently. Survival became an extremely difficult thing. The suicide rate was also rising during that period.

Plants died, and animals also lost food and the food chain collapsed. The surviving animals began to change their diet to insects in order to survive. Even in just a few years, some parts of their bodies had "evolved" and could more easily capture those relatively small insects.

The transformation of animals in order to survive will of course be noticed by the rescued humans. Seeing that these animals with low intelligence are still trying to survive in this world, humans are somewhat inspired. They grit their teeth and persist until the new city is built and the day of dawn.

When the new city was built, it was built with full insect prevention as the standard. The foundation and the walls were all built according to the formula of insect-proof coating. Before the insects mutate and these insect-proof coatings are completely ineffective, no more insects will come out from under the ground. The walls of the new city are tall enough, and there is a special insect-proof cover above each new city. This kind of colloid-like cover can withstand high temperatures and is coated with insect-proof gel on the outside. Together with the foundation and the walls, the entire new city is firmly protected.

Due to the technical limitations of the insect-proof cover, the area that can be protected is not large, so each provincial capital city will build a new city, and the floors in the new city are not high, so the designers can only make the most of the land inside.

The area used by each person in the new city is much smaller than before, just because a large number of people died after the insect disaster, and they were unwilling to bring their children to this world to suffer due to the pressure of life. The birth rate of newborns dropped sharply. In less than three years, the population of Yu State was only one-tenth of that before the disaster.

It is precisely because of this that a new city that is barely habitable can be built.

There is a thick insect-proof layer under the land of the new city. All the soil that humans see is transported from outside after being processed. Then, in addition to the very small amount of green land reserved, there are also some buildings with high and low racks built inside to grow crops needed by humans. The food grown is not enough for the current population, and it is often distributed together with the food stored before the disaster. Therefore, if the insect disaster is not resolved, even if the new city can block the mutant insects, without food, the number of humans will continue to decrease.

The new city, which is isolated from the outer circle of the outside world, is basically self-sufficient except for food and drinking water under careful design. Some animals were also brought into the new city after being cleaned, but insects were nowhere to be seen. All insects' functions in nature would be replaced by human wisdom.

Although the days without insects can only last for a short time, and the environment may collapse over time, humans have had enough of those insects. If a solution to the insect plague can be found, the normal insects that are still preserved will be placed in the new city to reproduce. If it cannot be found, the world will soon be destroyed. They would rather forget these damn insects in the last period before destruction.

This is a correct decision. At least when the residents who moved into the new city saw that there were no insects at all, many of them cried with joy. They were happy to welcome the new life here. They would not walk on the roadside and see insects. They would not be scared away from them without the mind to identify whether they were mutant insects or normal insects, and even hide in the house and don't want to go out.

The life of the people of Yu in the new city has set a template for the world. The people of other countries are urging the government to build as soon as possible, diverting attention from the people of California. It is also a good thing, but the governments of those countries need to worry.

The first country to have conflicts was Kalan. Their new city was not built for a long time, but they built a new city that was more complete than Yu's new city, which was exactly like the world before the disaster. However, the qualification to move into this new city requires money and status, unlike the new city where everyone can move in.

In the last month of summer, Kalan was in civil strife for this. Perhaps there has been no good news in the past few months, and there is no hope of solving the insect plague. Kalan began to suppress the reactionary areas with force. So in this case, several cities belonging to Kalan directly declared independence, no longer subject to the jurisdiction of the Kalan government, and continued to use the city's own resources to continue to build the planned new city.

This became a beginning.

External pressure caused many countries to change their regimes at this time. It seemed that every few days, a small country would perish, and every few days, another region would declare independence. Such chaos was the struggle of the living humans who wanted to continue to live. They didn't know whether such attempts would prolong their lives or accelerate their demise. They just didn't want to wait for the results to be known.

Struggles will not always be meaningless.

It was a time full of despair. Fortunately, before the real despair came, they welcomed hope.

Wen Zheng had long forgotten what day it was today, how many hours he had not eaten, and how many hours he had not slept. He and his colleagues stared at the computer screen, waiting for the final simulation results.

Then he saw the system screen that only he could see appeared in front of him.

[Hidden task-the solution to the insect plague has been completed. The points reward is determined according to the contribution to the task. The reward points are 200,000. ]

Wen Zheng completely ignored the number of points for the final reward, but looked at the first few words. They really found a way to solve the insect plague.

The colleagues around him looked at the results of the successful simulation on the computer and cheered a little. However, they could only determine whether it was really successful after a real test. Although the colleagues were happy, they could still control their mood to carry out the next experiment.

Only Wen Zheng knew that they were really successful. The extreme excitement made him smile. His heart beat rapidly because of happiness, which slowly brought a little pain.

Wen Zheng then realized that he only had an ordinary body in this world, and if he was too excited due to severe lack of sleep, he might die suddenly. There were still a few days before the mission deadline, so Wen Zheng didn't dare to bother. He drank the medicine prepared by the two medical staff for fear that something might happen to them, and went to lie down on the sofa in the office to catch up on his sleep.

This time he would definitely be able to have a good dream.
