From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 69 The Past of Earth 03

The movie version of "Doom" uses some settings from the game "Doom 3".

There is no connection to the 2016 reboot of Doom, nor 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 the play, in 2026, a human archaeological team accidentally discovered a "teleportation device" that could 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.

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.

Afterwards, the UAC urgently requested assistance from the military, so the Marine Corps sergeant played by Dwayne Johnson led a rapid response team to use the Ark to teleport to the Oldua Research Center on Mars to perform "use any means necessary to eliminate threats, protect, 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 the 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 dialogues between the characters are 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 Death's sister, 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 aroused 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 killed directly, or...

"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 24, 2046, 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 12, 2047, 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 19, UAC injected so-called "vaccines" into these US military personnel on the grounds of preventing bird flu.

February 17 was known to the soldiers and captives as the "Day of Reckoning."

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

The human soldiers captured by Atlas were once members of the U.S. Marine Corps, but their commander, Colonel Frank Hammer, discovered in advance that there were problems with the top government and military officials, and they defected collectively before the "Day of Reckoning", thus escaping the disaster.

On May 10, after the world went through a melee, there was no distinction between countries and governments on Earth Zero Three.

Everything was controlled by the UAC.

Cities and towns were also plunged into unprecedented chaos, and the former military and government had long been corrupted, wantonly massacring civilians.

There was no reason or purpose, just a love of blood and the pleasure of killing, so the Marines called the guys with twisted bodies and minds "degenerates".

June 6.

The Marines, along with civilians, police officers and firefighters who fled the city for refuge, hid in a forest about 80 kilometers northwest of Los Angeles, and used abandoned mines and air defense facilities to build a survivor camp.

2047 to 2050.

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

The Marines' continuous reconnaissance over the years also found that the Fallen would pile up countless corpses together to form a Jingguan that continuously released blood mist.

The ecological environment has changed dramatically, becoming more dry and hot. Even in the daytime, 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 the distance brought 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 infiltrate the city, it was not difficult for the Marines to guess that the purpose of UAC building a giant city was to allow the fallen to continue to indulge in... pleasure and killing.
