From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 69 The Past of Earth Zero-
  The movie version of "Doom" adopts some settings from the game "Doom 3".

There is no connection to the 2016 reboot of Doom, nor is there the familiar "Doom Slayer".

Near the end of the film, except for the first-person shooting perspective that contributed nearly five minutes to film history and the action scenes of one evil and one good played by Dwayne Johnson and Karl Urban, there were no hearty and refreshing scenes of violence. .

The overall rhythm and atmosphere are more sci-fi and horror.

In 2026, a human archaeological team accidentally discovered a "teleportation device" that can lead to Mars in the Nevada desert, north of Los Angeles.

As a series of scientific research activities were carried out, it was confirmed that the device could only achieve rapid transmission between two points, and it was called "Ark".

At the same time, an archaeological team also discovered an ancient city on Mars and a large number of "human" skeletons.

The emergence of the Ark prompted the establishment of another human organization-Union Aerospace Corporation, referred to as "UAC".

UAC was formerly a large-scale military-industrial complex, and was also a sponsor of archaeological teams. Through various operations, UAC successfully obtained the rights to use the Ark, scientific research and exploration of Mars, mining and other rights.

In 2040, UAC built a research center called "Olduval" on the surface of Mars.

It aims to conduct cutting-edge weapons testing, mining excavations, and research in the fields of anthropology, archeology, and genetics on "human" remains excavated from ancient cities.

Preliminary test results show that the genes of those corpses are very similar to humans, or it is not an exaggeration to call them "humans", but the only difference is that the corpses on Mars carry 24 pairs of chromosomes.

Chromosomes are the main carriers of genes and exist in the nucleus. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, including 44 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes.

After years of research by the UAC genetic team, it was discovered that the extra pair of chromosomes allowed the Martian corpse to gain super strength, reaction and healing during its lifetime, and almost overcome various diseases.

This extra pair of chromosomes does not occur naturally, but is also a "medicine" created through genetic engineering.

2046 years.

The UAC genetic engineering team successfully extracted the 24th pair of chromosomes and chose to use death row prisoners for injection experiments.

However, various factors such as the simple cage and the lack of protection by armed personnel allowed the death row inmate who had gained super strength and suffered severe body distortion to escape, which also caused the Oldua Research Center to enter a state of lockdown.

After that, the UAC urgently requested the military for assistance, so the Marine Corps Sergeant played by Dwayne Johnson led a quick response team to use the Ark to teleport to the Oldua Research Center on Mars to execute "removal of threats, protection, and... Retrieve UAC Property" command.

After that, the UAC personnel deliberately concealed the truth and lacked intelligence support. The Marines were ambushed one after another, either killed in battle or infected and assimilated.

In the end, only the assimilated sergeant and the Marine code-named "Death" were left who were injected with the 24th pair of chromosomes but did not have aberrations.

Thinking back to this point, Sui Yang carefully observed those huge, aberrant bodies nearly three meters tall that appeared on the screen...

Sure enough, it looks similar to the movie version of Hell Knight.

Although the play does not explicitly express supernatural elements such as hell and demons, the dialogue between the characters is full of various metaphors, such as "the devil in the heart", "pure evil" and so on.

And the aberrations pick out infected people.

A UAC researcher in Oldua, who is also the sister of Death, used the brain tissue fluid of two fallen Marines to test whether the physical tissue (tongue) of the aberration would be of interest.

Addicted to drugs, the brain tissue fluid nicknamed the Pervert instantly caused a strong reaction from the aberrant tongue. On the other hand, the brain tissue fluid nicknamed "The Destroyer" showed no fluctuations in his talkativeness and firm will.

To match the metaphor, the aberration will screen the victim's brainwaves, and even the soul, for infection and assimilation.

However, there are also human beings who have been forcibly assimilated, and when they know that their bodies have mutated, they resolutely choose to commit suicide, just like the Marine nicknamed "Pastor" in the movie.

Humans who do not meet their infection conditions will be directly killed or... "raised in captivity".

Through the oral information of the group of soldiers and prisoners, Sui Yang sorted out the key time points of Universe 03 on the holographic screen;

On May 2046, 5, UAC, the world's largest military-industrial complex, promoted medical insurance business to the United States and even the world at extremely low prices, and actively cooperated with countries around the world.

↓

On January 2047, 1, UAC began screening a large number of US military personnel in the name of assisting the military in conducting physical fitness and physical tests.

↓

On January 1, UAC injected so-called "vaccines" into these US military personnel on the grounds of preventing bird flu.

↓

February 2 was known as the "Day of Reckoning" by the soldiers and prisoners.

On that day, many countries, led by the United States, launched an asymmetric military purge operation without warning within the military.

The human soldiers captured by Atlas once belonged to the U.S. Marine Corps, but their commander, Colonel Frank Hammer, discovered in advance that there was a problem at the top of the government and the military, and collectively took action before the "Day of Reckoning" Defected and then escaped death.

↓

On May 5, after the world went through a melee, there was no longer any country or government on Earth 10.

Everything is controlled by UAC.

Cities and towns have also fallen into unprecedented chaos. The former military and government have long since degenerated and massacred civilians without restraint.

There is no reason or purpose, just a love for blood and the pleasure of killing. Therefore, the Marines call guys who are distorted in body and mind "fallen".

↓

October 6th.

The Marines, together with civilians, police officers and firefighters who fled the city, hid in a forest about 80 kilometers northwest of Los Angeles and established a survivor camp using abandoned mines and air defense facilities.

↓

2047 to 2050.

The survivor camp has also expanded from more than 2,000 people at the beginning to nearly 10,000 people.

The Marine Corps' continuous investigations over the years also discovered that the Fallen would pile countless corpses together to form a spectacle that continuously released blood mist.

The ecological environment has undergone drastic changes, becoming increasingly arid and hot. Even during the day, the sky seems to be shrouded in blood-colored haze, and the temperature drops sharply at night.

In addition to these, the Marines responsible for conducting reconnaissance in distant places received an even more shocking news.

That is, UAC built a super giant city in the center of the desert where the Ark is located, and constantly sent captured normal humans into it for "captivity".

Although they failed to successfully penetrate into the city, it is not difficult for the Marines to guess that the UAC's purpose of building a giant city should be for the fallen to continue to immerse themselves in...enjoyment and killing.
