Darkness is Coming

The threat of    mutants was fully reflected in the discussion after the Battle of Los Angeles, but the Beijing side never gave clear instructions, and the 19th round was indifferent, so most people believed that waiting for Commander Liu to make moves was the right choice. This delicate state has continued to this day, and now Yang Xiaoqian suddenly raised the sledgehammer and smashed it into pieces, somewhat abruptly.

   Only those who participated in the interrogation and the few who have already received the news understand that what Yang Xiaoqian said just now is not sensational, and it is imminent to launch a war against the mutants.

   As for the others, including the current president of the Yuanjiao Society, Zhou Tianming, they all looked hesitant and failed to understand why President Yang's attitude suddenly changed so much.

  Yan Wangye knew what caused this change. President Yang was not worried about mutants for a day or two. Although he never showed it, Yan Wangye knew that he was always worried every time he reviewed reports on mutants.

Anxiety and patience are both limited. For someone like Yang Xiaoqian who has a strong desire to control, the mutant beyond control is a thorn in the eye. News was the straw that broke the camel's back.

   It was just that Yan Wangye did not expect that President Yang, who has always acted prudently, would bring such an opening to the joint meeting.

Now that the argument has been put forward, it is necessary to supplement the argument immediately. Yan Wangye still has the ability to adapt to the situation. After Yang Xiaoqian sat back in his seat, Yan Wangye immediately got up and said, "Xu Le will actively cooperate with the investigation after returning to China and help us. Important information is provided, which I will briefly explain below.”

  Yan Wangye skipped the self-introduction and did not say nonsense such as "The content of this meeting is a state secret, no records of any kind are allowed, and it is not allowed to disclose it to those who do not have the right to know." He went straight to the point and began to state the facts.

   Of course, only part of the truth.

  Everything about the "machine" is top secret. More than 90% of the members of this joint meeting have no right to know. As Xu Le's interrogator, Yan Wangye was also granted the right to know after he accidentally learned about it.

The theme of this joint meeting is not artificial intelligence, nor mass surveillance systems, but mutants. Therefore, Yan Wangye's statement focused on the confrontation between Xu Le and mutants. The most important thing is to return from the dead. Holy One and his Brain Eater.

  According to Xu Le’s retelling, the re-evolved Holy One can completely split a certain memory that he devoured, and use the brain-eating insect as a carrier to transfer it to another carrier like copying and pasting an electronic document.

   When Yan Wangye sat down again, the smoke in the conference room thickened a little, and the smog turned into a gloomy cloud.

   "Cough." Director Wei took off his anti-fatigue glasses and rubbed his eyes. "Sorry, can you please explain the danger of this brain-eating insect? Director Zhong?"

A capable woman with short hair and ears stood up and said, "We all know that only a very small number of mutants directly transformed into intelligent creatures without going through the period of ignorance. The period of ignorance is the death of the T virus and the generation of brain nuclei to transform into zombies. During this period of time, during this time, zombies who have no intelligence and only rely on instinctive actions obtain energy by eating human flesh, and through some unknown reward mechanism, after eating enough human flesh, use the new genes unlocked in the T Primarch. Fragments reshape themselves into what we call mutants, and may regain some of the memories and skills of being human."

"Attention, it is only part of memory and skills. A large number of experiments have shown that the longer you are in the state of zombies, the less memory you can retrieve after being transformed into mutants, and the average intelligence and memory of primary mutants are much lower than normal humans. It takes a period of time to eat and digest, and continue to evolve, to become a deceptive mutant that can disguise itself as a human."

Director Wei nodded thoughtfully, and continued: "I probably understand, I'll tell you what I think, and if I'm wrong, be sure to correct it. Thanks to the efficient work of the World Health Organization and the overwhelming publicity of various media, At present, the popularity of T virus serum is satisfactory. At least in our country, we can see that there are pharmacies in the streets and alleys that sell serum that is easy to inject. The neighborhood committee will also set up a special point for free delivery. Employees and students distribute serum, and as far as I know, the last thing that has this kind of treatment is condoms during the family planning period."

Director Wei told a joke, but there was no laughter, he coughed awkwardly, and continued: "As long as the family with good financial conditions basically stores serum for emergencies, it is assumed that the mutant has to be forcibly transformed. Someone—let’s call it A for the time being—if A doesn’t want to become a zombie or a mutant, after being infected, he only needs to inject himself with a shot of serum and he will not be transformed, so the mutant needs to control him first Suppose the mutant kidnaps A and then infects him, then A will first become a zombie, and then transform into a mutant through eating. During this process, part of his memory may be lost, and he may not become able to disguise himself as a human. Mask variant, so A still needs to continue to eat, and it may take a long time to transform into the image of a normal human again, but even so, as long as it is a familiar person, you can still quickly find the difference."

   "Then it is quite difficult for mutants to involuntarily become mutants or serve mutants through forced transformation. But now..."

"Now, the mutant only needs to tie A, let Sheng Yi's brain-eating insects swallow his brain, and after destroying the corpse, find a mask mutant to change into his appearance, and then use the food that carries his memory. When the brain worm brings complete memory, it can 100% replicate a new A." Qi Xinwu from the 19th Bureau added the following content for Director Wei, "And now the mutants also know how to use high-tech as a tool, as long as With a little more effort, a masked variant with a sufficiently high degree of evolution can even copy fingerprints and irises, in the eyes of others, this is the real A, the difference is that his camp has undergone a fundamental change."

"Director Wei and Director Qi are basically correct, and I have nothing to add." Director Zhong of the Change Control Center stood up, and after attracting the attention of the others, he said solemnly, "But I would like to invite everyone to do one. Suppose."

   "Suppose this Mr. A, who was kidnapped and copied by the mutant, was named William Harrison?"
