Yuan Guoping is conducting various studies on parasitic humans and purple mushrooms.
This research lasted for half a month.
Fortunately, his lab has everything he needs. To make eating easier, he makes dehydrated vegetables so he can replenish his energy whenever he needs to be away from his experiments.
Thanks to these ample reserves, he finally managed to make some progress in his research within the past two weeks.
Although no pesticide has been developed that can eradicate purple mushrooms on a large scale, a potion that can evade attacks from parasites has been successfully developed.
If he takes this potion, the creature parasitized by the mushroom will not attack him for a certain period of time.
Yuan Guoping glanced at the date timer.
They've been spending way too much time in the lab!
He eventually opened the laboratory door.
Push open the door.
Just as he had expected, the entire base was in a state of chaos.
But unexpectedly, apart from some dried bloodstains, no body was found.
His first thought was that humanity had won and had disposed of all the bodies.
But what about all this mess and bloodstains?
Since they disposed of the bodies, why didn't they clean up the inside of the base?
This is clearly illogical.
He walked around along the roads inside the base.
Hopefully, we can find a survivor to provide the answer.
The shelter was quiet.
He habitually walked to the plantation of the refuge.
The plantation was an area two meters high but the size of a basketball court.
As soon as Yuan Guoping entered the area, he saw several mushrooms that had grown to the ceiling and were two meters tall.
What's terrifying is that at the foot of each giant mushroom, there were piles of human corpses.
Yuan Guoping was able to deduce the reason for this situation immediately.
The parasitic mushroom manipulates the parasitic human to come here, so that the human becomes nourishment for the mushroom.
He had no doubt that these mushrooms had enough nutrients to grow to an enormous size.
But this is a shelter.
All the ground in the shelter was made of a building material similar to reinforced concrete.
Even plantations are nothing more than reinforced concrete covered with 0.5m of soil.
It's clearly impossible for these mushrooms to grow indefinitely in this kind of place.
As a botanist, Yuan Guoping was immediately intrigued by these giant mushrooms.
Approaching step by step.
suddenly.
A giant rat emerged from behind a giant mushroom.
This rat is taller than a person when it stands up.
Yuan Guoping saw the small mushroom on the rat's head and knew that it had also been parasitized by the mushroom.
Since it was a parasitic organism, Yuan Guoping was no longer afraid.
He was very confident in the medicine he had developed.
Sure enough, the rat only bared its teeth at Yuan Guoping but did not attack him.
Then, the mouse turned around and hid behind the giant mushroom again.
At this moment, another problem immediately troubled Yuan Guoping.
Where did the giant rat come from in the shelter?
Yuan Guoping immediately realized that someone must have opened the exit of the shelter.
When the apocalyptic war broke out, countless nuclear bombs flew around the world, and nuclear radiation filled the air.
Radiation can alter the genes of organisms.
The surviving organisms mutated and became enormous.
Therefore, Yuan Guoping could immediately guess that someone had opened the shelter's exit, allowing the mutated creatures outside to break in.
Yuan Guoping's eyebrows were furrowed deeply.
The shelter hadn't been opened for 50 years because they didn't know what was happening outside and were worried about encountering uncontrollable dangers.
I never expected it to open so easily.
Thinking about it carefully now, it all makes perfect sense.
Some of the people in the shelter have been parasitized, leading to conflicts with the humans who have not been parasitized.
Humans who are not parasitized either have to eliminate all the parasites or escape this refuge.
There is no other way.
Inside the shelter, with so many people, everyone must have different thoughts.
There must be people who want to fight the parasites, and there must also be people who want to escape and flee the shelter.
Yuan Guoping looked at the entire plantation covered with mushrooms.
The area he had protected for 50 years was destroyed, and he had nothing left to cherish.
I glanced back at the empty, quiet shelter.
"well!"
A sigh.
He had been in this shelter where he couldn't see the sky long enough.
Now, by a twist of fate, the shelter's exit has been opened. It's time for him to go outside and see the world.
...
When a radiation storm arrives.
Roberts and Gates, hiding in the helicopter, witnessed everything that happened in the Purple Zone.
The influx of countless mutated creatures and the rise of purple mushrooms as tall as skyscrapers.
All of this shocked Roberts and Gates.
The moment the radiation storm ended, Roberts kept checking the radiation levels.
This world has a very strange characteristic: it seems that everything can absorb radiation.
Shortly after the radiation storm ended, the radiation index dropped to zero.
Roberts couldn't wait to start the helicopter's engines.
I plan to escape from here as soon as possible.
However, as the propellers spun and made a whooshing noise, the helicopter also attracted the attention of the mutated creatures around it.
Hundreds of mutated creatures surrounded the helicopter and launched an attack.
The outer shell of a military helicopter is made of a very strong, lightweight metal.
It is not particularly easy to be damaged or deformed under the attack of mutated creatures.
Roberts only needs to keep the entire fuselage stable and prevent it from tilting due to attacks from mutated creatures during takeoff.
