Homo sapiens.

Chapter 579 "Desert"

The day after the disinfection operation is over.

An off-road vehicle quietly approached the town of Danina.

Suddenly, the car stopped, and the tires seemed to be stuck in the sand.

"Huh? Has it arrived yet?"

The driver was a middle-aged white man with a pockmarked face, and the co-pilot was a blond young man with a pockmarked face.

Opening the car door, they found that the asphalt road under their feet had disappeared and turned into a black-gray sandy substance.

The young man squatted down and took a handful of black-gray sand: "The asphalt road has been completely destroyed, it's terrible."

And the middle-aged man wearing a cowboy hat carried his assault rifle and backpack: "We should have entered the disinfection area, put on the gas mask."

He caught the gas mask casually and put it on his face. The young man also took out the gun and backpack from the car.

Then the two worked together to reverse the off-road vehicle, put it in the woods beside the road, and pulled out a snow camouflage cloth to cover the vehicle.

"Let's go!"

Along the road they cautiously approached the town of Danina.

There is almost devastation along the way. Since there has been no snow in the past few days, the traces of the disinfection operation have not been buried by ice and snow.

Sandy asphalt road.

The crooked trees.

Completely melted snow.

At first, the two encountered fallen fir trees on the road and tried to avoid them, because some trees had not been completely deserted.

But as they went deeper, they found that the trees basically rotted at the first touch, just like wooden products that had been corroded for decades, they fell apart with a light touch.

Suddenly the two stopped, because the road bridge in front of them was completely changed, part of the asphalt road surface was turned into sand, and part of the cement structure also exposed the steel bars inside.

The young man gasped: "It's scary!"

"Walk along the river." The middle-aged man walked towards the small river on one side.

Although the ice in the river channel melted due to yesterday's disinfection operation, the local temperature was basically minus 5 to 12 degrees Celsius. After a night of freezing, the river channel basically froze again.

Moreover, this small river is dry in winter, and there is not much water in the river. The two found a shoal and crossed the river by stepping on stones.

Half an hour later, they came to the side of the road about 1.4 kilometers away from the town of Danina, and they could already see the situation inside the town through the telescope.

However, according to the situation along the way, the two of them already knew the situation in the town.

Even the concrete and rock are "corroded" to a pulp, not to mention the people in the heartland.

"Someone!?" The middle-aged man quickly pulled the young man to the ground, and the snow camouflage uniforms on the two of them made them blend with the ground.

through the telescope.

They saw a dozen armed men with guns in the town.

In the town of Danina at this time.

An armed force under the bald man was worried that something would happen because he hadn't contacted the bald man all day and night. Today, he sent a reconnaissance team to Danina Town to check the situation.

In fact, as soon as they entered a radius of 5 kilometers, the reconnaissance team felt bad.

The team leader looked at the completely collapsed villa and the "corpse" on the ground, his face was completely drained of blood, only endless fear remained.

Not only did the wood of the villa rot when touched, but the corpses also died terribly.

Because only the skeleton and a layer of skin remained in the corpse, there was some frozen unknown blood around the corpse.

This is because the cells in the human body completely collapse under the high-dose and long-term irradiation of gamma rays, which leads to the dissolution of muscles and organs. In addition, some of the water molecules are decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen. skeleton and skin.

Faced with this method of death, the rebel militiamen who had no relevant experience were suddenly frightened.

One of the investigators was frightened and yelled like crazy: "NO, I want to go home! God! Please forgive me!"

"Barry! Calm down!" The captain immediately clasped the opponent's hands to prevent the opponent from getting the gun.

The others were terrified, but not mad.

The team leader tied Barry's hands first, and then shouted at the others: "Don't dawdle, go and take a picture."

The trembling investigators hurriedly took pictures of the surrounding buildings and corpses.

The squad leader personally inspected the vehicles and towed artillery, guns and ammunition.

He picked up a Remington shotgun and found that the plastic parts inside were completely rotten, and the special shotguns were also scrapped. After all, the casings of shotguns are all plastic.

Picking up another M16 assault rifle, he found that the old-fashioned assault rifle was okay, since there were not many plastic parts, the loading and safety could be activated.

But the squad leader did not shoot, but strapped the assault rifle to the frame of the armored vehicle and tied it to the trigger with a rope.

He didn't dare to pull the trigger directly to shoot, mainly because he was afraid of exploding the chamber. After all, everything around him was completely rotten, and he couldn't be sure whether the rifle was aging.

Ten meters away, he hid behind a pickup truck and pulled the rope.

"Huh? No firing?"

He pulled it again, but it still didn't fire. He ran over, pulled out the bullets in the rifle, and looked through the bullets carefully. He guessed that these bullets were also scrapped.

Pull out a bullet from the carry magazine and load it into the assault rifle.

Pull the rope again.

boom!
This time it fired successfully.

But the squad leader didn't have the slightest joy on his face, because he saw the assault rifle exploded: "Damn it! The rifle is getting old too!"

After taking pictures, he had given up all hope for those towed artillery and mortars and the like.

Although there is no damage on the surface of metal weapons, in fact, the lattice of metal parts has been irreversibly damaged, and the structural strength has dropped precipitously. Once these weapons are used, they will definitely explode.

The team leader led a group of investigators to investigate here for more than an hour. In the end, they didn't find anything useful, so they drove off in a pickup truck in a hurry.

Watching the rebel reconnaissance team walk away.

The two intelligence agents who belonged to the council also quickly appeared in the town.

Seeing the collapsed villa, the skinny corpses all over the ground, and the exploded rifle, the two of them checked it in silence.

"It's dead clean."

"Yes! It's really clean!"

Although they were calm on the surface, their slightly trembling feet betrayed their inner unrest.

"Let's go! Let's go to that base to confirm the situation."

After more than 20 minutes.

At the gate of the base in the forest, two figures quietly appeared here.

The original solid iron gate was completely split open after being hacked a few times with the hand axe.

As soon as the door was pushed open, an indescribable gas came out of it.

This is a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. Due to the relatively airtight interior space of the base, the oxygen and hydrogen cannot be discharged in time after the organisms and water bodies are decomposed.

The two didn't go in immediately, but waited for half an hour before walking into the base cautiously.

Entering it, all the facilities are aging and decaying to varying degrees.

Thinking that there is more than ten meters of soil and rocks on the base, and there is still no way to block the gamma rays of Homo sapiens, their awe of Homo sapiens in their hearts becomes stronger.

The people in the base were skinny as well, but due to the relatively high temperature, there was still a lot of soup around these corpses, which were exuding an indescribable stench.

They came to the freezer where biological products were stored and found that it had been completely destroyed, and not a single bacterium survived.
