Homo sapiens

The day after the disinfection operation.

An off-road vehicle approached the town of Danina quietly.

Suddenly, the car stopped and the tires seemed to sink into the sand.

"Huh? Are you here already?"

The driver was a middle-aged white man with a pockmarked face, and the co-pilot was a young blond man with a pockmarked face.

When they opened the car door, they found that the asphalt road beneath their feet had disappeared and turned into a black-gray sandy material.

The young man squatted down and took a handful of black and gray sand: "The asphalt road has been completely destroyed. It's terrible."

The middle-aged man wearing a cowboy hat carried his assault rifle and backpack: "We should have entered the disinfection area, put on the gas mask."

He caught the gas mask and put it on his face. The young man also took out the firearm and backpack from the car.

Then the two of them worked together to reverse the off-road vehicle, put it in the woods beside the road, and pulled out a snow camouflage cloth to cover the vehicle.

"Let's go!"

Along the road, they cautiously approached the town of Danina.

There were almost all devastations along the way. Since there had been no snow in the past few days, the traces of the disinfection operations were not buried by the ice and snow.

Sandy asphalt road.

Toppled trees.

Completely melted snow.

At first, the two encountered fallen fir trees on the road and tried to avoid them because some of the trees had not yet completely deserted.

But as they went deeper, they found that the trees basically rotted away at a touch, just like wood products that had been corroded for decades and fell into pieces at the slightest touch.

Suddenly, the two of them stopped because the road bridge in front of them had changed beyond recognition. Part of the asphalt road had turned into sand, and part of the cement structure had its steel bars exposed.

The young man took a breath: "How scary!"

"Take the river." The middle-aged man walked towards the small river on one side.

Although the ice in the river melted due to yesterday's disinfection operation, the local temperature was basically minus 5 to 12 degrees Celsius. After a night of freezing, the river was basically frozen again.

Moreover, this small river is in the dry season in winter, and there is not much water in the river. The two found a shoal and crossed the river on stones.

Half an hour later, they had arrived at the road about 1.4 kilometers away from the town of Danina, and could already see the situation inside the town through the telescope.

However, based on what happened along the way, the two of them already knew what was going on in the town.

Even the concrete and rocks have been "corroded" to pieces, not to mention the people in the center.

"Is there someone!?" The middle-aged man quickly pulled the young man down. The snow camouflage uniforms they wore made them blend into the ground.

Through the telescope.

They saw a dozen armed men with guns in the town.

Inside the town of Danina at this time.

An armed force subordinate to the bald man worried that something had happened since they could not contact the bald man all day and night. Today they sent a reconnaissance team to Danina Town to check the situation.

In fact, as soon as they entered the 5-kilometer radius, the reconnaissance team felt something was wrong.

The team leader looked at the completely collapsed villa and the "bodies" on the ground. The color on his face was completely gone, leaving only endless fear.

Not only did the wood of the villa rot when touched, but the corpses also died in extremely horrifying ways.

Because only the skeleton and a layer of skin were left on the body, there was some unknown blood that was frozen around the body.

This is because when the human body is exposed to large doses and long periods of gamma rays, the cells in the body completely collapse, causing the muscles and organs to dissolve. In addition, some of the water molecules are decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen. In the end, only the skeleton and skin.

Faced with this method of death, the rebel militiamen who had no relevant experience were immediately frightened.

One of the investigators was so frightened that he shouted like crazy: "NO, I want to go home! God! Please forgive me!"

"Barry! Calm down!" The squad leader immediately grabbed the opponent's hands to prevent the opponent from getting the gun.

The others were horrified but not mad.

The squad leader tied Barry's hands first, and then yelled at the others: "Stop dawdling, go and take pictures."

The trembling investigators quickly took pictures of the surrounding buildings and corpses.

The squad leader personally inspected the vehicles, towed artillery, guns and ammunition.

He picked up a Remington shotgun and found that the plastic parts inside were completely rotten, and the specialized shotguns were also scrapped. After all, the shotshell shells were all made of plastic.

Picking up another M16 assault rifle, he found that the old-fashioned assault rifle was not bad. Since there were not many plastic parts, the loading and safety could be activated.

But the squad leader did not fire. Instead, he tied the assault rifle to the frame of the armored vehicle and tied it to the trigger with a rope.

He didn't dare to pull the trigger and shoot directly, mainly because he was afraid of exploding the chamber. After all, everything around him was completely rotten, and he couldn't be sure whether the rifle had aged.

More than ten meters away, he hid behind a pickup truck and pulled the rope.

"Huh? No firing?"

After pulling again, it still didn't fire. He ran over, took out the bullets in the rifle, and looked at the bullets carefully. He estimated that these bullets were also scrapped.

He pushed out a bullet from the magazine he carried and loaded it into the assault rifle.

Pull the rope again.

boom!

This time it fired successfully.

But there was no joy on the squad leader's face, because he saw the assault rifle exploded: "Damn it! The rifle is also aging!"

After taking pictures, he no longer had any hope for those towed artillery and mortars.

Although there is no damage on the surface of weapons made of metal, in fact, the crystal lattice of metal parts has been irreversibly damaged, and the structural strength has dropped off a cliff. These weapons will definitely explode as soon as they are used.

The team leader led a group of investigators and investigated here for more than an hour. In the end, they found nothing useful and hurriedly drove away in the pickup truck.

Watching the rebel reconnaissance team walk away.

The two intelligence agents affiliated with the council also quickly appeared in the town.

Looking at the collapsed villa, the skinny corpses on the ground, and the exploded rifle, the two of them inspected it in silence.

"Dead clean."

"Yes! It's really clean!"

Although they were calm on the surface, their slightly trembling feet still betrayed their inner unrest.

"Let's go! Let's go to that base quickly to confirm the situation."

More than twenty minutes later.

At the gate of the base in the mountain forest, two figures appeared quietly.

The large, sturdy iron door was completely split open after a few blows with the hand axe.

As soon as the door was pushed open, an indescribable gas came out.

This is a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. Since the internal space of the base is relatively tight, the oxygen and hydrogen cannot be discharged in time after the organisms and water are decomposed.

The two of them did not go in immediately, but waited for half an hour before carefully walking into the base.

Entering it, all the facilities showed varying degrees of aging and decay.

When they thought that there were more than ten meters of soil and rocks on this base, which still could not block the gamma rays of the Homo sapiens company, their awe for the Homo sapiens company became even stronger.

The people in the base were all skin and bones, but due to the relatively high temperature, there was still a lot of soup and water around these corpses, exuding an indescribable stench.

They came to the freezer warehouse where biological products were stored and found that the place had been completely destroyed, and not even a single bacterium survived in it.
