Ordinary people can become extraordinary once they make up their minds to do things that are impossible for them to do.
Or, howl and die in dazzling pain, becoming a piece of dust that has no practical significance even if it is remembered by others.
Or, like a phoenix, rise from the ashes, transform in pain, and gain new life.
These old people who walked into the experimental building chose this fate.
Due to the large number of applicants, at the beginning of the personnel screening, according to Zhou You's instructions, the experimenters conducted a certain degree of screening, first selecting some people with physical disabilities, and in addition, focusing on selecting some
It is obvious that people with strong mental will, firm determination, and relatively good physical condition have a slightly higher success rate.
About two hours later, the first batch of 1,000 people had completed their injections and entered the experimental platform.
Then the second group of people entered.
After the second group of people entered, people from Lelai New County also came.
Since Yulong Community has announced the truth, there is no need to hide it in the new county town, and they have also made public announcements.
In the new county, there are more refugees and fewer combat missions, so the level of chaos is more serious.
However, after a few hours of rectification, the situation was back under control.
There were some casualties and some material losses, but fortunately people's hearts are still available.
Those who wreaked havoc in their madness failed to get support and response from others. Some of them were even suppressed by other ordinary people before being suppressed by the regular army.
The occurrence of this phenomenon involves the national characteristics of the Chinese people.
Perhaps the language structure has affected the cultural attributes of civilization, or perhaps the social changes over thousands of years have affected the character of ethnic groups. Even when facing desperate situations, people are not willing to let their thinking fall into chaos, and instead think
Try your best to calm down quickly, think hard and find a way to reverse the situation, or to allow your descendants to survive.
After that, word spread that Yulong Community could mass-produce over-limit people, and people here were also allowed to sign up.
Even though they knew that the mortality rate of the transformation experiment was as high as 40%, more than 100,000 people in the new county decided to sign up on the first day.
After a preliminary investigation, the statisticians concluded that the applicants in the new county are similar to those in Yulong Community. Most of them are middle-aged and elderly people, and there are also some young and middle-aged people who were originally about thirty years old.
name.
Most of these people have something in common, that is, they have lost more or less family members during their previous escapes.
And it was the rats that killed or directly caused the death of their family members.
These volunteers and rats have a deep hatred that cannot be erased.
Now seeing that human beings are completely at a disadvantage, these refugees are not only unwilling but also have a strong impulse for revenge. Driven by many emotions, these people resolutely chose to sign up.
Or die in the experiment.
Either survive and become an over-limit person, even if you just go out with a knife to kill, at least you can replace some more rats, or you can simply rush out alone with a flare gun and serve as a mobile sentry in the wild, at least you can
It can fire a signal gun when the rat army appears, providing fire coverage and guidance to the stationed artillery troops, and causing some damage to the rats.
After a brief discussion, Zhou You naturally agreed to allow volunteers from the new county town to come and undergo the transformation.
While the over-limit transformation work was being carried out in an orderly manner, others were not idle either. A new large-scale production work was underway in full swing.
A large number of construction workers walked out of Yulong Community, leaving their footprints on every surrounding building.
Foxholes and combat trenches were built one after another.
As two super heavy trucks loaded with micro-nuclear power reactors originally used on new nuclear submarines or aircraft carriers arrived in Lelai County, the power supply capacity in the county suddenly increased, and some power supply lines that had been bitten and destroyed by rats were also gradually destroyed.
repair.
Thanks to the recovery of the power system, more monitoring devices and electric-powered firearms with remote visual remote control functions have also been installed everywhere.
Considering the small size of rats and their ability to fly and escape from the ground, humans have not set up too many explosion traps. That doesn't make sense.
Nowadays, rats can smell the smell of gunpowder and can climb walls to disperse. Even if the ground is filled with remote-controlled landmines, they may not be able to cause much damage.
It is better to save these explosives such as gunpowder and dynamite and make them into light weapons for human use, so as to achieve maximum results with the minimum resources.
On average, about 500 foxholes are added around Yulong Community every day.
Of course, these foxholes are not built randomly, but have a unified standard configuration.
Each skirmishing pit can be equipped with a minimum combat unit of three people, equipped with enough food to supply three people for half a month, sufficient ammunition, and a complete set of communication devices.
After these foxholes were built, they were immediately staffed.
According to the plan, operators will build more than 10,000 foxholes near Yulong Community.
Skirmisher combat pits all have one thing in common, that is, they all have a broad field of vision and the ability to attack the ground from a high position.
Most of them are built on roofs, exterior walls of houses, telephone poles, road green plants, etc.
In addition to conventional weapons and equipment, the Engineering Department also encouraged sentinels who went out to use their own initiative, modify the terrain on their own, and set various traps on the only way for rats to attack the foxholes.
Some people set up fly swatters, some used rotary knives, and still others used self-retracting ejection spikes.
In short, the Eight Immortals cross the sea and show their magical powers.
The level of arrangement of traps and mechanisms and the effectiveness of the ambush are directly related to the life and death of the combatants. No one will be careless or lazy, and they all want to rack their brains and use their brains to maximize everything.
The logistics department is also working overtime to respond to people's customized needs.
Especially for Lin Yao, the most skilled logistics manager, that would be a big favor.
Someone can turn to him at any time. After all, everyone knows that Lin Yao has the best craftsmanship, the highest processing accuracy, and the fastest shipping.
Fortunately, through various selections, Lin Yao has now found many super-skilled people or top-notch workers with extraordinary talents from the base personnel, and integrated them into his own team to form a team that is good enough.
We have a cutting-edge team, so we can barely cope with the demand.
After tens of thousands of foxholes are built, they will be matched with more peripheral mobile outposts, as well as military weapons from the past such as mobile rocket launchers that are slowly increasing in Lelai County, as well as those floating airships.
, fixed-wing and rotary-wing drones can at least build Lelaixin County and Yulong Community into a military fortress that can withstand tens of millions of rat armies.
The situation in Kangyue County is similar.
In order to meet the growing demand for materials brought by construction, material collection troops carrying a variety of relocation tools also operated around the clock, attacking in all directions and conducting comprehensive sweeps.
Up to now, the entire Lelai County has basically kept its doors open at night. That’s because almost every door has a hole. Regardless of whether it is a private house or a warehouse in a supermarket, as long as there may be something useful inside, it must be opened first.
Take it apart as a tribute.
Many people take the lead in demolishing their own homes on the grounds that they are more familiar with the layout of things in their own homes and what inventory they have. This leading party must be quite experienced.
After almost all the houses in the county area were swept away, the material collection force continued to expand the scope of the sweep, targeting rural towns around the county and even scattered farmers' tiled houses. In short, they must not waste any resources.
Before humans shrank, human civilization had just gone through a period of rapid transformation that lasted hundreds of years.
Over the past few hundred years, the explosive growth of human beings has squandered all the resources on the earth at an extremely fast rate and extravagantly, and produced a large amount of garbage and useless materials.
Some materials have been recycled as waste, but there are many more materials that are obviously of no use, but are preserved by people for various reasons.
Almost everyone has some old objects in their home that have been placed for at least ten years or at most decades.
What the people of Lelai County have to do now is to seize the few remaining time windows and do everything possible to squeeze out all the resources accumulated in the past decades or hundreds of years and turn them into weapons that can be used today.
When everyone else is busy, traveling around is not idle either.
After Huayin also began to have pregnancy reactions, Zhou You further increased the frequency of his outings, and almost every time he went alone, going very far.
This is not because he is evading responsibility and does not want to take care of Yuan Yike, Shen Ling and Huayin, but as his use of the third-level beyond-limit ability becomes more and more mature, Zhou You gradually discovers that he has the ability to act independently.
.
Now, with the blessing of armored equipment, he is not afraid of animals.
The large carnivores that could kill him and crush him to pieces were not interested in a target of his size. Some small dogs, mustelids or cats that might hunt humans of today's size were no match for him.
As for rats, they also cannot pose any threat to wandering around.
Because after a long period of exploration, Zhou You found a way to turn himself into a flying bird.
It only takes a period of adjustment to make his bones hollow like those of a bird. By extracting the components of bones from other parts of the body, extending them outward from the shoulder blades, and then extending the muscle fibers along the body.
When the bones grow together, they can form a pair of wings with a wingspan of six decimeters.
At the same time, the muscles that circulate around the arms, thighs, etc. will also move to the chest, becoming developed chest muscles comparable to those of birds.
At this time, his weight has not changed, but his volume has become much larger. The density of his body has naturally dropped a lot, and he can fly.
Therefore, when traveling around, he often carries food and melee weapons alone, as well as a bioelectromagnetic signal memory device jointly designed by Ding Ling and the National Academy of Sciences. He will fly out, even leaving the confines of Lelai County and entering an area that is now an occupied area.
Traveling alone can do almost anything.
Sometimes, if he finds a lone group of rats, he will land and deal a heavy blow.
If he discovers a large gathering of rats, he will also fly to high altitudes, use satellite phone communication to contact Zhang Jing, and request long-range firepower resources.
Although the missile bases lying in ambush in various places suffered heavy losses due to the impact of the rats, there are still some vehicle-mounted surface-to-surface missiles or long-range fires that can still operate.
Some fighter planes have also been modified and can take off.
Under the precise visual positioning guidance of Zhou You, the accuracy of long-range strike firepower is guaranteed.
Sometimes, it only takes one ammunition to instantly evaporate tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of rats hiding in the same mountain, hiding in the same hole, or occupying the same building.
Sometimes, Zhou You even quietly lands and walks on the ground.
He used genetic simulation to modify his body surface, completely turning it into scales, sealing the sweat glands and pores. He also wore a high-filtration breathing mask on his face, which did not emit any odor, and then he got closer to the rats little by little.
, using a bioelectromagnetic signal memory device to capture and record the brain waves released by the rat kings who are communicating with each other not far away.
When the storage space of the memory is full, Zhou You will suddenly attack again, give the mice a head-on blow, kill them, and then climb up the big tree, adjusting the body structure in the process of climbing, and then start again.
He jumped up from the tree, away from the place of right and wrong, and took the data he collected back to Ding Ling.
It's not just Zhou You who is out on the road. Whether it's in the new county town or the overrun people in the Zhou family team in Yulong Community, they are also acting separately, forming one expedition after another, heading in all directions.
Take the initiative and kill as many rats as possible in the surrounding area.
This strategic idea is very simple. Sooner or later, the rats will consolidate their forces to attack Lelai County. Simply consolidating the defense line is too passive after all. Taking the initiative to attack first and causing heavy damage to them will more or less delay the progress of the rats' troop organization.
In addition, some newly promoted trans-limiters who have survived the transformation experiment also need to hone their skills through actual combat and become familiar with and master their own bodies.
Time passed by little by little, and before I knew it, two months flew by in a blink of an eye.
On this day, Zhou You was soaring in the sky like a swift.
About an hour ago, he completed another hunting operation against a group of rats.
Calculating the time, it takes half an hour to fly back to Lelai County from here, which is almost just in time for dinner.
Now Zhou You has a big family of his own.
The children at home are waiting for his father.
Just as he was flying over a mountain, a warning sign suddenly appeared in his heart, and he subconsciously made a flip in the air and changed direction to the right.
A bullet whizzed past the side of his wing.
The strong wind caused by the bullet almost blew off two of his feathers.
Zhou You lowered his head and looked at the ground.
He saw a gun without sights, mounted on a wooden stand.
