Chapter 161 Mutated Marine Life
In the evening, Lu Ming, who had gone out with the supply team to collect supplies, came back and also learned the news.
"What?!"
Lu Ming, who was originally slumped on the sofa, suddenly sat up straight and looked at the person next to him in surprise.
She frowned, lowered her eyes, and carefully recalled the original storyline. Then, a flash of inspiration struck her, and she looked up and exclaimed, "It's them! Those mutant creatures in the sea!"
She recalled, muttering to herself, "Yes, the ice age ended, the glaciers began to melt, and those mutated creatures in the sea, after nearly a year of virus transformation, devoured each other, and their habits changed drastically. Then they were washed onto land by the waves, which led to this wave of attacks."
Gu Chao asked her, "Is there any solution? The news from the B City base says that bullets can't penetrate their defenses. Only artillery shells are effective."
Lu Ming looked at him and slowly shook his head. "No, this is just the beginning. After attacking all the coastal bases, they continued to move inland. In the process, they continuously devoured the people, zombies, mutant plants and animals along the way. As a result, they evolved into creatures that are almost immune to physical attacks. Even ordinary artillery shells are ineffective."
Gu Chao's expression grew serious. "So they have no weaknesses?"
"Their only weakness is that they have no superpowers, so they can only be harmed by superpower attacks."
This is not good news.
There are only more than 10,000 psychics in the base, plus those free psychic teams, and there are only a handful of high-level ones. If they cannot be stopped, once they approach the wall, the base will definitely not be able to be defended for even an hour.
"Didn't the Capital Base take any measures?"
If we just let these creatures invade like this? Sooner or later, the capital base will fall.
"Yes." Lu Ming nodded.
But her next words were terrible news.
"They chose to bomb cities south of the Yangtze River in an attempt to use bombs to keep these creatures south."
"What? They actually chose to abandon half of their countrymen?! Who made this decision?" Gu Chao clenched his fist and slammed his palm hard, "Damn it!"
"So what was the result?"
"At first, the creatures' attack was indeed stopped, allowing the people in the north to recuperate. However, these creatures also mutated again, becoming more adapted to the terrestrial environment and possessing stronger offensive and defensive capabilities. A year later, they returned and migrated north again."
This was a major turning point in the original plot. It cost so many lives, and although it worked temporarily, it brought greater challenges to subsequent humans. Now zombies, mutated plants and animals are all living on their own, and some will even kill each other. For example, the mutated marine creatures at the beginning ate whatever they came across along the way, and the zombies didn't know how many of them were eaten, so they evolved step by step.
But after the bombing, no one knew what had happened, and these non-human creatures actually began to merge with each other, thus forming many new species, which became even more unfamiliar and bizarre, such as beast-like zombies, marine mutant creatures with plant characteristics, mutant plants with human intelligence, and so on. It was as if life on Earth had completed another unprecedented evolution, and humans suddenly became the lowest end of the food chain, and any creature could easily kill and eat them.
As a result, the northern residents of Xia State suffered a series of defeats in less than a year. The capital base only thought of launching a frontal attack at that time, but it was too late. Countless soldiers were killed before they finally realized the reality: they had already lost in this battle of racial evolution.
So they gave up their country, abandoned their people, and fled abroad in a hurry, under the pretext of protecting their manpower, and continued to wander in the land of other countries.
Of course, nothing ended well in the end.
Is abroad a safe haven?
Their land is vast and sparsely populated. Although there are not that many zombies, there are mutated plants and animals everywhere, and there are still many dangers.
Of course, some people stayed and went underground, fighting ever more difficult guerrilla warfare and evasion battles. They lingered on for more than two years, but in the end they still could not escape the fate of being wiped out by zombies.
Lu Ming told Gu Chao the subsequent events that she recalled one by one. After listening to her, he frowned.
"That is, this isn't a permanent solution, and it could even bring significant harm. So not only do we have to face the siege of these marine creatures, but we also have to be constantly on guard against massive bombings from the capital..." He frowned, pondering, "We must convince the capital base to abandon this idea. However, if we can't defend against those mutant creatures, the capital will definitely not listen to us."
He concluded, "Therefore, the top priority must be to defend the base first, and then we will have the bargaining chips to negotiate with the capital."
After thinking it over, he asked Lu Ming, "How much time do we have left?"
Lu Ming recalled carefully, "I don't know the exact details, but the bombing of the capital was about half a year later."
Half a year later? So soon?
City C is located in the west of the center. If the entire south falls, they will only have three months at most.
It was truly too intense. In just three months, how could I possibly develop enough to defend against those monsters with thick skin and flesh that were immune to normal attacks?!
They can't create people with special powers, and ordinary soldiers are useless.
Moreover, even if there are more people with special abilities, it will be useless if their levels cannot be raised.
The two sat side by side on the sofa, thinking of countermeasures, but after thinking for a while, they didn't have any good ideas.
Gu Chao looked at Lu Ming with a frown on her face, and couldn't help but reach out to hold her in his arms and kiss her forehead.
"Don't worry, at worst we can just move the base north. We'll always find a way."
The only thing to be thankful for is that neither he nor she is facing this situation alone.
How fortunate it is to be able to embrace the one you love at a moment like this.
Lu Ming sighed, reached out to hug him, leaned against his chest, and listened to his steady and strong heartbeat.
Are we going to leave the base we built with so much effort?
Having watched it grow bit by bit into what it is today, full of vitality and hope, are you going to abandon it and embark on an unknown journey?
She was so reluctant to leave.
Not to mention the survivors, even she couldn't stand such an exhausting life. She now finally understood why so many people in J City stayed and chose to guard the base with everyone even though they knew they might die.
Perhaps it is because they no longer want to live like this, so even if there is a tiny possibility, when they see so many people making the same choice, this tiny possibility is infinitely magnified.
They knew that at this moment, in this place, they were not fighting alone.
