Chapter 18 Research



Listening to the footsteps gradually disappearing outside the house, Smith breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help feeling a little sad and angry: What's wrong with this world?

The Central Avenue incident in New York was too far away from him, but he actually saw the huge tsunami in Boston Harbor, and this time the monster was real!

As a British employee, Smith never dreamed that he would suffer such a thing.

Smith is 37 years old and works for a bioengineering company in Boston.

Smith could not forget that twenty minutes ago, the department next door, the department that went to the swimming pool together yesterday because of their good work, suddenly turned into monsters and started to slaughter them crazily!

There are no weapons here: who has time to bring a gun to work?

Under the shock of the monsters, they were slaughtered like chickens. Smith was lucky enough to sneak into the warehouse in the chaos and hide in the corner, barely avoiding the slaughter of the monsters and surviving.

He really wanted to call 911, but he had left his phone on the desk when he fled into the warehouse, and now he had no way to seek help!

Smith's mentality collapsed.

Listening to the faint roars and growls outside, Smith hid in the corner and could only wait for rescue from the government.

It was unknown how long it took, but Smith made a bold decision under immense torment.

He was going to go out, pick up his phone, call 911 and ask for help!

Regardless of anything else, it’s not a big deal for me to stay here all the time!

Before he could take a few steps, Smith was startled by the fierce gunfire. However, accompanied by the screams of the monster and the calls of the US commandos, Smith was delighted: The US government is here!

The moment he was picked up by the army, Smith felt as if he was in heaven.

Smith is just a small abbreviation of the city of Boston. Countless people were rescued by the army, and of course many people were unfortunately killed.

Faced with a similar disaster, even if a biochemical crisis breaks out and hundreds of thousands of people become zombies, the government of a major country still has the ability to rebuild the country.

After all, given the human race's foundation, it is impossible for them to be defeated by zombies without intelligence.

......

In the Boston City Government Building, the Governor of Massachusetts, the Vice President of the United States, the Speaker of the House of Representatives and other officials had originally planned to leave on a special plane today, but suddenly this incident happened, which instantly caused several officials to collapse mentally.

How to say it, it's so embarrassing.

Previously, the President loudly promised in front of the people of the world that "we have the most powerful weapons in the world" and "the Boston Harbor incident will never happen again", but in the blink of an eye, the incident happened again.

The most embarrassing thing is that less than three hours after the president made the announcement, the incident happened again, and the location was still Boston!

But this was just a slap in the face. After discovering this situation, the army stationed in Boston quickly launched an iron fist attack, and the weakened version of the Deep Diver throughout the city of Boston was hit immediately.

In just three and a half hours, most of the weakened Deep Divers had been killed, and some were even captured alive for research.

Facing modern technology, there is no way these irrational monsters can win.

"How's the scientists' investigation going?"

During the meeting, Vice President Rice leaned back in his chair, looking somewhat depressed. He spoke weakly, "Have you figured out what's going on? Is this the return of the underwater creatures or the reappearance of the biohazard?"

"Um... gentlemen, we haven't found any signs of spread yet. This doesn't seem to be a biochemical crisis." The commissioner hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"According to our investigation, all of these 'monsters' are actually citizens of Boston. However, for some unknown reason, their bodies have mutated, and a strange energy has taken over their bodies."

"After the mutation, their metabolism is very fast, so they must constantly eat carbon-based organisms to maintain their physical strength. If they go without food for a long time, they will become irritable and even self-harm."

"The strange virus in their bodies can transform the host, completely taking over the human nervous system and causing brain death. So those monsters are actually dead, but the strange energy in their bodies is still driving them."

"Because it's driven by this special energy, the body requires a large amount of energy, so the parasite has a strong desire to eat. They are tenacious because only two organs in their bodies are functioning: the brain neurons and the heart, both of which are controlled by this strange energy to maintain themselves."

Listening to the Commissioner's speech, Vice President Rice nodded. "So... why did they mutate? Do you know the source of that strange energy? Have you figured out what that strange energy is?"

Hearing this, the commissioner couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and could only stammer, "Um... after we... dissected the body, this strange energy seemed to have evaporated, and the cause of the mutation... is currently unknown."

"However, through our analysis of the mutant data, we found that nearly a third of them participated in the incident and visited Boston Harbor after the Boston Harbor Incident."

"Nearly half of the survivors in Boston Harbor became monsters. Only a small number remained unmutated... but they were all found by monsters."

"As for the remaining two-thirds of mutants... I'm very sorry, but we haven't figured out what went wrong yet."

Everyone fell silent again, feeling deeply powerless.

Vice President Rice forced a smile and said to the Commissioner, "It's okay. It's only been four hours. It's not easy for you to analyze so much in four hours."

After saying that, he turned around and instructed the Boston officials: "Now, gather all the survivors of the Boston Harbor Incident and allocate funds. Give them 100 million yuan a day and ask them to cooperate with our research!"

When she was young, Vice President Rice always believed in one thing: technology is supreme.

The present time is no exception.

......

Thousands of miles away from Boston, on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, Jingchuan opened his eyes, as if he had noticed something.

But he only needed to feel it briefly to know what had just happened in Boston, and instantly showed a speechless expression.

What just happened in Boston was nothing more than the supernatural energy of the Deep Ones left behind after the last attack was too strong, causing some people who accidentally absorbed it to mutate.

Some people became very strong after absorbing this extraordinary energy, while others could not bear it and turned into monsters.

People who become monsters are certainly not contagious. After all, the amount of scent they are infected with is too little, and it will be gone if it is passed on.

As for Zhao Quan... he was the one who was possessed by Dagon but luckily survived. A lot of Dagon's divine power still remained in his body, which naturally gave him extraordinary energy that was no less than that of the Deep Diver.
