I Really Didn’t Want to be a Savior

In the spring of 2523, a more brutal war started again. After mankind built a new insurmountable "high wall" by relying on flames and giant shields, no more people were infected.

The victims have become blood-stained marks lost in the long river of history.

The survivors still have to inherit the legacy of the deceased and stumble forward shouldering the responsibility of continuing the race to fight against the disaster.

In short, humans completely stabilized their position and then began to counterattack.

New disinfectants were developed.

Isolation gowns of new materials have been developed.

Nuclear fusion energy modules have become smaller and more portable and can be loaded on individual motorcycles.

People moved forward little by little, slowly pushing the territory occupied by bacteria to the distant coastline.

The recovered persons who were infected with the virus and then barely recovered equipped themselves with semi-mechanized bodies and joined the construction team.

Humanity's defense lines began to advance at a rate of several kilometers, ten kilometers or even dozens of kilometers per day.

Although some people will always fall silently on the way forward, those who come after him will inevitably take over the equipment he left behind and inherit his will.

The bright red area representing the quarantine area is getting smaller and smaller on the map inch by inch.

The green safety zone belonging to human beings began to increase little by little.

Three years have passed.

Winter of 2525.

The Eurasian continent, the American continent, and the African continent successively declared "liberation".

Australia is the only one left.

At the beginning of the disaster, Australia, which was relatively sparsely populated, was unable to organize effective resistance.

It has become a dead territory for humans and a paradise for animals and plants.

After a brief respite, in the spring of 2526, after a short period of recuperation, humans dispatched the first advance team of 100,000 people to form a huge flying fleet and launch a final fierce attack on the S bacteria.

The decisive battle is about to begin.

Billions of people are standing or sitting, holding hands, standing side by side in front of projectors or TVs, or looking down at their mobile phones together.

The picture shows the advance team slowly landing.

First, the engineering ship sprayed flames to clear and drive away the rats hiding in the ground below.

Whether they were mice or other animals, they fled in a hurry under the heat of thousands of degrees.

This burning lasted for more than three hours, and all ground animals fled.

Of course, there is not a single rat left that is known for its cleverness.

Immediately afterwards, the engineering ship extended its cantilever and began to construct a high-heat isolation zone and a magnetic field shield through external operations.

One day passed, and the advance team established the first base area that once again belonged to humans on the dead Australian continent.

The medical ship took over the position of the engineering ship and began to spray into the air the highly efficient sterilization and disinfection spray that was successfully developed just half a month ago.

Superbugs are constantly evolving, and many disinfection methods that have been tried and tested in the past have gradually lost their effectiveness.

Its drug resistance is getting better and better, its protein shell is becoming more stable, more difficult to destroy, and it becomes more invisible after entering the human body.

The size of S bacteria has not changed much, but its DNA structure is becoming more and more complex.

However, humans are not standing still, they are also moving forward.

The new spray worked very well. Ten minutes later, the ship-borne probe was disembarked from the hospital ship and began to collect air in the external environment.

More than twenty minutes later, no S bacteria residue was detected in the petri dish, which meant that the concentration of S bacteria in this area dropped to 0.

The cleanup was a success.

Then sprinkle a layer of organic powder on the surface of the soil that releases a "foul smell" that is deeply disgusted by all mammals.

After waiting for another half day, high-resolution geothermal imaging confirmed that there was no more warm-blooded mammal in this area.

Stable.

Since then, a green area representing a safe zone has appeared on the world map at the edge of the Australian continent, covering a total area of ​​nearly one square kilometer.

Humanity has established a bridgehead to sound the clarion call for counterattack in Australia, the last stronghold of the S bacteria.

The engineering ship took action again, opened the material warehouse and began to pile materials on the ground.

These materials will be gradually used by people driving construction machinery to build a second layer of safety cover on the ground.

Next, people will start to build various functional buildings within the safety cover, turning this place into a base with multiple functions such as research, residence, treatment, production, etc.

Engineering staff without isolation suits walked down to the ground on hanging ladders.

All mammals have been driven away. Under the shield of the magnetic field shield, external animals cannot approach for a short time. It is impossible for S bacteria to exist in this area.

The flamboyant young man smiled proudly, "If the S bacteria also had a brain, wouldn't it be so angry that it would burst its lungs when it saw us standing arrogantly in its base camp?"

"Shut your stinky mouth and talk nonsense about some unlucky things? Get to work!"

The experienced middle-aged man scolded him severely.

The young man stuck out his tongue, looking untouchable.

Although the atmosphere is still tense, everything is progressing in an orderly manner.

No one expects an overnight victory, and everyone is mentally prepared for a long-term war.

Human beings firmly believe that the final victory must belong to themselves.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly.

Another twenty minutes passed, and the peace was suddenly broken.

The alarms in the hospital ship, engineering ship, and personnel transport ship sounded extremely suddenly and at the same time.

All the people who were not wearing isolation suits looked pale and looked at each other speechlessly.

"Why?"

"How can this be!"

Everyone doesn't understand why.

It's obviously been done perfectly, but why is it still like this?

In just a moment, the vanguard members, whether they were still in the fleet or those who had landed, all fell into the same despair.

Even the few people wearing airtight isolation suits are not feeling relaxed.

This feeling of despair and fear can even be completely conveyed to everyone on the planet through live video.

But the panic only lasted ten minutes.

The middle-aged man who had scolded the young man suddenly said loudly.

"Do you still remember the 626 Declaration?"

"Remember!" Everyone agreed in unison.

"So, cheer up! We are the advance team! Are the advance team afraid of death? I ask you, are you afraid of death?"

"Don't be afraid!"

The middle-aged man nodded again, "Yes, we are not afraid of death. Before we set off, we were already prepared to sacrifice! Death is just dust returning to dust, dust returning to dust! But we will pave the way for those who come after us! Work ! We must find out the reason! Fight to the death and never retreat!"

"Fight to the death and never retreat!"

After a day, the conclusion is drawn.

It was a snake that brought the S bacteria out of the ground again and harmed everyone.

Phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrates, class Reptiles, class Dipsera, order Snakes.

Australia's S bacteria have evolved again, jumping from rats to snakes.

People began to have a bad premonition in their hearts.

The infected suicide squads once again expanded their search scope and embarked on an unknown journey.

Three more days passed before the final conclusion was drawn.

The S bacteria here in Australia have evolved to the next stage.

Its infection range goes beyond mice and can infect all vertebrates!

This is too cruel, really too cruel.

The speed of its evolution is simply outrageous.

No one knows where the limits of S bacteria are.

Maybe one day, it will also include other species that are microorganisms?

In such a vast world, is there still room for human beings?

Just thinking about that scene is enough to make the remaining eight billion people's scalps tingle.

Once again, humans took action immediately and went all out to block the entrances of all rivers to the sea.

Bad news keeps coming.

Not long after, a snail was also found to be infected.

The territory of S bacteria has expanded again.

Humanity is almost in complete despair.

The feeling hanging in my heart almost disappeared.

However, things took a turn for the better half a year later. When all animals in Australia were infected for a full half a year, people found that the evolution of S bacteria had stagnated.

It's stuck at a bottleneck.

It seems that it is not so easy for S bacteria to break out of the shackles of animals.

The sea has become a fragile barrier to protect human life.

Although there are still infected animals carrying S bacteria to other continents through the coastline, the defense lines built by humans with all their strength can still barely stop it.

However, nearly two billion people died in the past three years.

Some people suggest that it is time to blow up the Australian continent.

Completely destroying it will eliminate at least most of the S bacteria.

At this time, a scientist named Lai Wenming stood up. He rejected the proposal to sink the Australian continent and put forward another great conjecture.

The evolutionary ability of S bacteria is so powerful that it completely violates scientific common sense.

But the rules of the universe are fair after all. If you want to obtain super-class abilities, you must pay a corresponding price.

No matter how slow the normal mutation and evolution of microorganisms is, as long as the total amount of organisms reaches a certain level, the evolutionary process should be eternal and stable throughout.

The evolutionary process itself should not have clear-cut bottlenecks.

It should be a relatively smooth line, and if this line represents evolution, under the premise of infinite time, it should be endless and without boundaries.

Evolution should be a never-ending process.

But S bacteria are completely different.

Although it evolves quickly, it seems to be very deliberate every time, breaking through boundaries within a species, order, and family.

Judging from the sampling situation, S bacteria have never crossed two families of the same level at the same time. They always complete one first and then quickly jump to the other, just like jumping up the stairs, crossing one bottleneck after another.

Its evolution is like a frog leaping, one after another, stable and violent.

Therefore, the price for S bacteria to acquire super evolutionary ability is exactly the bottleneck it must face when evolving.

In addition, everyone knows that the normal evolutionary direction of all microorganisms that can attack humans and mutate rapidly should not just blindly kill humans.

Humans, viruses and bacteria are supposed to interact and coexist with each other.

The evolution of bacteria must follow the law of developing in a direction more conducive to their own existence.

The instinct of living things should be self-preservation.

Its normal direction of evolution is to continuously improve its survivability and transmission ability, but its lethality to human hosts and vectors will inevitably continue to decline.

It should eventually become the same fate as the probiotics in our guts.

But S bacteria showed no signs of this at all.

This is completely contrary to common sense, and has extremely wide spread and lethality.

This simply goes against the rules of the universe!

Therefore, I think it should and must have flaws. This flaw is that it must have an insurmountable bottleneck, which is the end of evolution!

Other lives don't have an end, it does!

When the ability of S bacteria reaches a certain limit, it will completely stop evolving and its DNA will stabilize.

By that time, as long as humans can capture the ultimate form of S bacteria before it spreads around the world, and based on its finally stabilized DNA, we can create an effective broad-spectrum vaccine!

Because we captured their emperor!

Capture the thief first and capture the king!

Lai Wenming believes that the limit of S bacteria will appear when its vector crosses the realm of animals and enters the realm of all eukaryotic organisms.

Before it spreads, capture the ultimate form of the S-Bacteria King, dissect it, and make a vaccine!

The most likely place where the Poison King was born is the Australian continent!

If the Australian continent is blown up and the most active group of S bacteria returns to the sea, everything will become a dream.

Moreover, it is impossible to predict whether ultra-large doses of nuclear radiation will lead to new violent mutations.

Completing Lai Wenming's plan is humanity's only chance to make a comeback, and it must be grasped tightly.

Of course, no one knows how much time is left for humanity.

Perhaps one day, the ultimate poison king will be born silently and multiply, becoming unstoppable.

"Gentlemen, charge."

"We must finish all the work before the Poison King is born!"

"Counterattack!"

"Put our detectors all over the Australian continent!"

"There's no time to wait. Anyway, even if I'm wearing an isolation suit, I'll be accidentally infected sooner or later, and it will also delay the efficiency of my work!"

"I won't wear an isolation suit! It's too slow, too slow!"

"Yes, there are not enough materials for isolation suits. Leave it to scientists and medical staff."

"When I die, my family will be proud of me."

"Report! All members of the C19915 engineering ship refused to wear isolation suits!"

"Approved. Wait for me."

The general mobilization order resounded throughout the starry sky of the solar system.

One fleet after another, full of suicide squads, took off and headed straight for the Australian continent.

Yes, it is clear that we can return, but no one makes the journey back.

Because no one can guarantee whether the returning spacecraft will be full of bacteria.

When going out for war, warriors chose the path of no return and became martyrs.

Human beings began to sprinkle seeds of hope on Australian roads at a density of one probe per square kilometer.

Every seed represents the gradual extinguishing of the light of life for a bunch of volunteers.

Five years have passed.

In the past five years, hundreds of millions of volunteers have died on the Australian continent, and the populations on other continents have also dropped by nearly 100 million.

Those who went to Australia were the death squads.

Those remaining on the coastlines of other continents are also death squads.

Humanity has built a total of 7.61 million integrated large-scale detection probes in Australia. It is a large-scale research institute used to analyze and decipher the DNA structure of S bacteria, which can provide accurate data support for vaccine production.

In order to ensure accuracy and sensitivity, each probe is approximately equivalent to a thirty-story building, filled with various precision instruments.

On average, more than 80 people are sacrificed for every probe built.

Millions of volunteers have sacrificed their lives to build large-scale research institutes.

Most people here only have two months left to live.

There is no way.

Isolation suits are really not enough.

Even if you wear an isolation suit, your life expectancy is only a few months longer than if you don't wear one.

Fortunately, during these five years, the ultimate poison king S bacteria predicted by Lai Wenming was not born.

People began to wait in pain and anxiety.

Lai Wenming once again raised another matter.

One institute is not enough.

Because no one knows to what extent the ultimate poison king's diffusion ability will reach.

He hopes to build at least twenty research institutes, with scientific researchers stationed in each institute.

As soon as you discover it, you must start deciphering it as soon as possible!

Because if humans can grab one more second, it’s just one second.

Humanity began to fall into painful debates, and eventually the words supporting Lai Wenming prevailed.

The second great migration of no return begins.

More volunteers are heading to Australia in batches.

These people went to build more research institutes, or began intensive analysis and deciphering within the strictly guarded research institutes, constantly accumulating experience and valuable data.

The institute has isolation measures, which is slightly safer than in the wild, but S bacteria are difficult to prevent, accidents often occur, and the group is wiped out.

But after the group was destroyed, people did not panic. They remained calm, repaired the loopholes, and spent just two months of their lives, despite their sick bodies, to accumulate knowledge and try to decipher the characteristics of the Poison King.

After everyone in this batch was sacrificed, the institute fell into a deep sleep, waiting for the arrival of its successor, and restarted work after a comprehensive anti-virus operation.

In the past two years, a total of twenty research institutes have been completed evenly distributed across the Australian continent.

By this time, the total human population had dropped to four billion.

On the Australian continent.

Abandoned warships filled the valley.

The bones of the dead stain the mountain peaks white.

Only the detection probe and the indicator light of the institute seemed to shine forever and never go out.

S bacteria still has not evolved into the ultimate poison king, but every new sampling test can reveal new changes in its DNA sequence, but no one knows when the quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes.

Humanity stopped building.

More and more experienced scientific researchers, medical workers, as well as young, old, male or female scientific research recruits and medical recruits who have grown up over the years are embarking on the journey again.

They live in a tomb called the Institute.

They call themselves the Tomb People.

The types of work of the people in the tomb are simply and roughly divided into several types.

Researchers are responsible for analyzing samples, hunters are responsible for putting on isolation suits and going out to collect samples, as well as medical staff are responsible for maintaining the life and mobility of patients as much as possible, and workers are responsible for logistics.

Every day, every hour, someone will be infected by the all-pervasive S bacteria that finds its way into the isolation suit.

Then the predator will take off his isolation suit and travel lightly.

These people are called walkers.

People in other types of work will put on isolation suits, walk out of the institute, then take off their shirts and transform into walkers.

Walkers walk or drive across the Australian continent to monitor every possible new infection vector.

During the final journey of the remaining two months of their lives, they often leave the base far and wide, singing songs and pulling the airtight chains of the body bags around themselves before they die.

What they sang was "Self-Burning" by Zhong Lei with rewritten lyrics.

An unknown composer changed the rhythm of Xi Murong's "Out of the Sea" and inserted it into the rhythm of "Self-Burning".

Please sing me a breakout song

with forgotten ancient words

Please call gently with a beautiful vibrato

The great rivers and mountains in my heart

That's a scene that can only be seen outside the Great Wall

Who said the tune of the song is too sad?

If you don't like to hear it

that is because

There is no desire for you in the song

And we always have to sing again and again

Like the grassland shining with golden light for thousands of miles

Like the wind and sand whistling across the desert

Like the Yellow River Bank

Beside Yinshan Mountain

The hero rides a strong horse

Return home on horseback

…

Six years later.

A kind of humic yeast that has a mature body that is flocculent and has a diameter of only 0.8 micrometers. It can be swayed in the wind and even fly across the ocean and across continents. It was discovered near the Melbourne ruins.

A nearby traveler collected the samples and drove back.

A total of twenty research institute arrays came into play.

This traveler is only half a day away from the nearest Melbourne institute.

After he left, space-based laser transmitters frantically swept the area.

At the same time, more and more travelers came from a distance with their motors roaring.

They are not here to collect samples.

Their mission is to use the flamethrowers on their bodies and the super-power filter exhaust fan on the car to kill as many of the ultimate poison kings as possible.

When the energy of their equipment is exhausted, they will even take a deep breath and then ignite themselves with flames.

Lai Wenming, who had been criticized by countless people for only telling others to die while hiding in the rear, boarded the spacecraft from the Siberian Research Base in northern Asia and headed straight for the Melbourne Research Institute.

As the only remaining Nobel Prize-level biologist in the world, and a master of quantum biology and genetics, only Lai Wenming personally goes to the front line to decipher the secret of the ultimate poison king S bacteria as quickly as possible.

Twenty days later, Lai Wenming sent the complete analysis data and broad-spectrum vaccine gene design plan back to other continents.

Before sending back the data, Lai Wenming had already been the first to personally test a broad-spectrum vaccine made in a laboratory. Five minutes later, he cut off most of his liver and passed a genetic test, which showed a negative reaction.

He became the first human to possess immunity to S bacteria.

He laughed wildly, even though the huge hole in his waist was bleeding out.

He then pressed the detonation button himself.

Start countdown.

Thirty seconds later, the 7.61 million probes spread across the continent and the nuclear fusion bombs hidden under twenty research institutes will detonate at the same time, erupting with heat comparable to the sun.

These fusion bombs are called the final line of defense.

Before his death, Lai Wenming sent back a generous and passionate voice message.

"The fungus carrying the ultimate poison king S fungus has spread all over the Australian continent, and the nearby ocean has also been polluted. The final line of defense can eliminate 95.12% of the poison king fungus. It will take at least three years for the remaining poison king fungi to spread all over the world. months."

"I have completed the research and development of the vaccine. It only takes two months for you to go from cultivation to mass production and meet the requirements of more than one billion people."

"Everyone else is hiding! In half a year, all humans will have immunity to S bacteria!"

"I, Lai Wenming, have never insulted the name of my ancestors! You remember my name, Lai Wenming, and remember the name of my great-great...grandfather Ryan! He is the greatest scientist since the 21st century! And! Me, second! Everyone else is bullshit!"

"Humanity has won!"

boom……

Brilliant daytime fireworks light up the Earth's sky.

The sun was eclipsed by it.

The earth trembled.

The thick dark clouds that have covered mankind for decades are torn apart by the brilliance of nuclear fusion.

The long-lost warm sunshine, after the scorching white light and the sweeping wind dissipated, once again filled the earth.

Three and a half billion voices sang "Self-Burn" at the same time.

People laughed with tears and were speechless and choked.

The intense sadness, yet hopeful emotion seems to have turned into reality, lingering in the atmosphere.

Humanity has ushered in a new dawn.

Eight years later, a tower with the names of the fallen was built from the top of Mount Everest, towering straight into the sky.

There are tens of billions of names, each one is a piece of history.

A huge chapter of 6,000 words.

This chapter was too difficult to write, too difficult, too difficult.

Also, my fever has gone down, please rest assured.

I feel like I should not be so unfortunate.

China will win!

The uploaded word count was 6083 words, and then I revised it again and changed the word count to 6385 words. The subscription fee remained at 6000 words, so the lyrics I quoted did not count. Thank you for your understanding.
