Night falls.

Because there are more lunatics in the wilderness recently, and Polaris has been attacked twice in a row, the city has temporarily implemented a curfew, and people are not allowed to go out on the streets after 8 o'clock at night. However, this order cannot be fully implemented, especially after Pasha has not appeared for a long time, some underground forces in Polaris have quietly brought in contraband from outside like a carnival.

These contraband items are mainly psychotropic drugs.

The scavenger team has a great demand for them, especially in recent years, there have been more and more illegal human body modifications. Some people have undergone a lot of cheap bionic modifications to improve their combat effectiveness. Their body functions have not adapted to the bionic limbs, and problems with nerve connections cause them to be often tortured by pain, which requires the use of drugs to relieve.

Another group of people who have a great demand for psychiatric drugs are those who have been contaminated by lunatics, whose own will is not strong enough, and who have begun to experience mild auditory hallucinations.

The madman appeared in the second year after Su Ziyu left.

The madman who was first discovered had no abnormalities, but his behavior was quite eccentric and lonely, and he had a certain tendency to violence. There were too many such people in the wasteland world, many of whom had trauma syndrome, and the early Wild Knights even resorted to cannibalism due to food shortages.

It was not until a human gathering place was captured by infected lunatics and all the people were slaughtered that people realized that madness had unknowingly spread throughout the world.

The spread of madness was irregular.

It spread almost in leaps and bounds, without human contact, all over the world, not only in North America, but also in Asia and Europe. All the major forces mobilized almost immediately and began to study the transmission principle of madness, but their research progress was quite slow, because people infected by madness could not be detected through conventional means in the early stage.

The first sign of insanity is auditory hallucinations, followed by persistent nightmares until the person's spirit is completely broken and he or she falls into madness.

As for the transmission route of madness, no useful clues have been found so far.

The infection seems to be random. Some people have had close contact with the madman, some of them were infected, some were fine. Some people have been to some dangerous and highly polluted areas, some of them went crazy on the spot, while some remained normal after escaping.

Madness was like an invisible shadowy net that gradually enveloped everyone. In the end, some people who were not infected at all ended up contracting madness because they suspected they were infected.

Because of the spread of madness, progress in rebuilding civilization around the world has come to a standstill.

"The target has left the inner city."

In the darkness, in a small three-story building, a few faint lights flashed. The man who was secretly monitoring turned on the communicator and said quickly: "The Brotherhood is also with her."

Soon, a deep male voice rang out from the communicator: "Find a way to continue monitoring them."

Not far away.

A team of fully armed soldiers wearing exoskeleton powered armor got on several armored vehicles, which then drove out of the city and soon disappeared into the dark wilderness. However, just as the armored vehicles were about to leave the city gate, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the roof of a nearby five-story building, followed by a small black dot that quickly flew by and silently stuck to the lower right side of the armored vehicle.

“Ding ding ding.”

A small red dot appeared on the display in the man's hand. He turned on the communicator and said, "A tracker has been placed. Do you need someone to follow?"

"I'll arrange it." The deep male voice responded quickly.

The convoy rushed through the wilderness.

In the leading armored vehicle, Su Ying turned on the communicator beside her ear and said, "Uncle Leon. Will they really catch up?"

Zizi. After a short electric sound, a male voice sounded: "If they really have plans for you, they probably won't give up this opportunity."

Su Ying was still a little worried after hearing this, and whispered: "Some of them are very strong."

"I'm afraid..."

A female chuckle came from the communicator, and then Leon's voice sounded: "It's okay. We brought the fat guy with us. And we have helpers this time."

"Once you reach the ambush point, evacuate immediately."

"We'll take care of the rest."

After realizing that the people of the Antarctic Group had ill intentions towards her, Su Ying immediately chose to seek help from the Brotherhood. It happened that Leon also returned from his mission at this time. While the Antarctic Group was eyeing Su Ying, the Brotherhood was also eyeing this force that suddenly emerged in recent years.

Following the clues, even the Brotherhood was shocked, because they discovered that the Antarctic Group had a deep connection with the Academy and the Mechanical Atomic Cult.

They seem to have a pre-tribulational government background.

There are clues that the destruction of the Southern Cross was related to them. Part of the genetic modification data that Su Ziyu originally brought out from the Southern Cross was carried out by a force called the Antarctic Research Institute.

Before the nuclear winter came, the government organizations of the old world once concentrated some of their resources and strength to try to find a way to save everything.

The Antarctic Research Institute was an organization funded by the government military at the time.

But not long after, a pollution leak occurred in the research institute organized by the government at that time, and all experimental plans were forced to be suspended. The appearance of super-deformed monsters and ghouls dealt a devastating blow to everyone. Then came the most chaotic and dark period, and the wasteland world ushered in a long period of anarchy.

After the appearance of the zombies, the research institute originally funded by the government went dormant. They transferred most of the personnel and materials to Antarctica, waiting for the nuclear winter to pass.

But even stranger things are yet to come.

After being closed for a long time, the Antarctic Research Institute began to have activities again, which were related to the Mechanic Atomic Cult.

There seemed to be a split among them.

Some people at the Antarctic Research Institute have close ties with the Mechanical Atomic Cult. Their research direction has also changed from science to theology, and they have become a group of mysterious secret cultists.

Initially, the research directions of these research institutes were all genetic technology, but now these mystics worship some unknown god and study some mysterious psychic knowledge.

They listen to God's 'gospel' and find true strength in the 'gospel'.

Leon's mission this time is to track down something called the "Gospel". There are various signs that the "Gospel" is closely related to the occurrence of the great disaster. If the Gospel can be found, perhaps the real reason for the great disaster can be solved.

This time, dealing with the Antarctic Group members lurking in Polaris is only a small part of the plan. The Brotherhood's real elite forces have already joined forces with Beidou's advance troops and are planning to raid the mystics' base camp near the Atomic Sea.

There are all indications that one of the so-called 'Gospels' is in the atomic sea.
