Xia He wasn't sure if it was right to take out the spiritual liquid now, but it was indeed a very useful medicine for current medical needs. If Dr. Qian could extract something useful from it, it would be a good thing for mankind.
Xia He returned to the 32nd floor and suddenly felt that being alone at home every day was quite boring. Although she had a 3-year-old humanoid Xiao Hua to keep her company, as well as two little ones, and she had to work hard to cultivate every day, she still felt that being alone was quite meaningless at times.
Before Xia He could wallow in melancholy for long, she was dragged into cultivation by her own self-discipline.
In the days that followed, word spread that Dr. Qian had discovered a miraculous medicine that could relieve the burning sensation caused by extreme heat. As a result, every night at the construction site, there would be a large vat of water diluted with Dr. Qian's miraculous medicine.
The extreme heat had only just begun, and there were still water sources everywhere. The water source in the base was initially contaminated with bacteria, but after refining, it was still drinkable. Electricity was provided by solar power, and there were also black-spotted mushrooms to eat. Although eating mushrooms every day was a bit tiring, it was still better than having nothing to eat.
Life inside the base is much better than life outside.
However, outside the base, it was a living hell.
Many people who died from the heat collapsed to the ground and never got up again, and their bodies were left uncollected.
The scorching sun beat down on the corpse, causing it to gradually rot and emit a foul stench.
These neglected corpses were scattered throughout the streets and alleys. The muscles on the surface of the corpses gradually decomposed, forming liquid. The sunlight and high temperature caused this liquid to evaporate rapidly, spreading a nauseating odor.
In this ravaged environment, maggots proliferate rapidly on the corpses, wriggling within the decaying flesh. Their presence accelerates the decomposition process, becoming another significant form of life among these remains.
As time went by, the maggots on the rotting corpses transformed into flies, which swarmed freely in the post-apocalyptic environment, spreading various germs everywhere.
Swarms of flies gathered around the corpse, feeding on the rotting tissue. Their antennae were covered in the dregs of decay, and their wings shimmered in the sunlight, creating a bizarre and terrifying scene.
At the same time, the bacteria and pathogens carried by flies also become a source of danger that they bring into the air when they fly.
After a period of evolution, these flies gradually became dissatisfied with feeding on carrion. These mutated flies began to attack living people, and many people who went out to scavenge were attacked.
Fortunately, the temperature-controlled clothing kept the flies at bay. At first, the flies only tore the clothes, causing great distress to the scavengers. Gradually, the flies became more aggressive, swarming towards humans and searching for blood and tissue on their skin.
People attacked by flies have their skin contaminated with bacteria and pathogens, leading to their rapid death. They fall to the ground and become a new breeding ground for maggots.
This cycle repeated itself, and the virus spread to the base. Not only that, the mutated flies also invaded the base.
At night, the base was bustling with activity as usual. The construction teams in the villa area were working hard to build steel. Suddenly, a buzzing sound came from the air. The already dark sky was completely covered by a black, hemp-like mass.
Suddenly, the black sesame ball seemed to spot some delicious treat! It quickly flew towards the crowd.
