I Really Didn't Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World-Chapter 484 - 317: New Crisis_2

Chapter 484: Chapter 317: New Crisis_2

It was the last day of the year 2519.

Everyone was firmly gripping their portable gene detectors.

In each massive gathering point, the multitude of gene detection towers lit up

with faint twinkling lights.

No one knew from where the enemy would come, or how it would arrive.

But everyone knew what kind of enemy they were waiting for, invisible to the naked eye but as ferocious as the devil.

The clock on the wall ticked away.

The father, dressed in a full isolation suit, focused his gaze on the monitor

next to him.

On the screen were the images of two separate rooms, containing his wife and daughter who had also completed their isolation preparations.

Occasionally, the man glanced at the gene detector in his hand, and then looked at the nearby fireplace.

Behind the fireplace was a medium-sized atomic disintegration garbage

recycler.

This father was pondering a question.

Although scientists had said that, in the early stage, there was a 15% or more chance of curing this infectious disease.

However, its contagiousness was extremely terrifying.

The bacteria had a strong ability to survive.

Even if the virus protection reached P7 level, it could still leak and contaminate

a large area.

If after twelve o’clock my detector went off, it would mean that I had become the carrier for the S Bacteria that the invaders had unleashed.

Then I would not hesitate to jump into the atomic disintegration machine.

I must not become the source of transmission!

If it were my wife or daughter…

I…

Would join her!

Ding.

It was midnight.

The New Year’s bell of 2520 rang.

Nothing happened.

At the end of January 2520, medical scientists and biologists held a large-scale online conference, and after comprehensive evaluation, they concluded:

The S Bacteria was a no-show.

It seemed that the prophecy of Harrison Clark had been mistaken.

Some breathed a sigh of relief, while others became even more anxious.

After the consultations at the upper levels of the nascent World Government,

Mason Howard spoke with a heavy heart:

“We made a mistake. Master Harrison Clark must have had a reason for encrypting the information about the S Bacteria and setting it to automatically unlock on January 1, 2520.”

“If we had cracked it earlier, the invaders might have discovered it and changed their strategy. Now we have indeed taken action ahead of schedule, completed the vaccine distribution, and prepared isolation in advance. All of this has been discovered. So now we face an unknown crisis.

“In the end, we made a mistake due to our kindness. I apologize to all of you.”

In fact, this matter had been debated and disagreed upon for a long time.

Scientists, military personnel, politicians, and other domain leaders held different opinions; the conclusion of the debate was that even if Harrison Clark had hidden considerations, most people still refused to bear the risk of causing at least billions of deaths.

Who would be willing to watch their fellow citizens die cold-heartedly if they

could save them?

Once people become greedy, they are prone to make mistakes.

The cost of the mistake is a new crisis, mass extinction.

In January 2544, the northern hemisphere was cold and the southern hemisphere was hot.

A silent change began.

No one knew how the Compound-Eyed Observer, who remotely controlled everything, observed the situation within the Solar System, or how much information it could obtain.

Anyway, the Compound-Eyed Observer discovered that the Song of the Wilderness had become ineffective, and after the S Bacteria initially faced antibodies, it changed its strategy once again.

All controllable energy within the Solar System Barrier was activated again.

The Compound-Eyed Observer deployed a new type of bacteria.

These small bacteria stood no chance against the human immune system and had low reproduction capabilities within the human body.

Therefore, these bacteria were completely harmless to humans, even safer than E. coli.However, it has a strong reproductive ability within animals.

This bacteria is also non-lethal to animals and can even coexist well with

them.

This characteristic is universal and is applicable to all animals, including invertebrates and vertebrates, except humans.

Later generations named it Z Bacteria.

The “Z” is derived from wisdom.

Z Bacteria is also known as Wisdom Bacteria.

A single Z Bacteria does not possess wisdom, but when the population of Z Bacteria within an individual reaches over ten thousand, the situation changes.

Z Bacteria of a certain quantity will gather in the animal’s central nervous system and attach themselves to its neurons, silently completing the parasitic assimilation.

Utilizing the existing neural connections within the animal’s central nervous system, individuals of Z Bacteria form connections with one another.

Subsequently, a kind of collective wisdom similar to human brain specialization, but much less complex, will emerge from this highly correlated group.

The external manifestation of this is that the originally non-intelligent life becomes an individual with intelligence.

The underlying essence is that countless individuals of Z Bacteria have combined to form a collective wisdom.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

Although the level of this intelligence is still rudimentary compared to various animals, it is still a qualitative change.

The alteration of brain intelligence does not stop there.

Whether to match the consumption of the intelligent central nervous system or due to the genetic instincts of Z Bacteria, the body structure of the infected individual will be reawakened with rapid cell division and controlled gene expression, resembling the process from embryo to mature individual but much more complex.

After completing this process, the infected animal undergoes drastic changes, displaying characteristics impossible for Earth-based organisms.

Infected individuals may gain larger body sizes to support more Z Bacteria and achieve higher intelligence, or maintain their original size and only maintain basic intelligence.

This new type of animal was named Extinct Animals.

When Harrison Clark saw this description in the historical materials review, the first thing that came to mind was the invader’s Dragonfly Fighter.

Thinking about its lethality, his scalp tingled for a moment.

This is seriously crazy.

This time the Compound-Eyed Observer has unleashed its ultimate weapon.

How could 26th-century humans face a Dragonfly Fighter?

Is there any chance of victory?

No!

just one Dragonfly Fighter is enough to completely destroy the entire human civilization of the 26th century!

The technological gap between the two sides is too significant, and none of humanity’s weapons at that time could cause any damage to the Dragonfly Fighter.

Perhaps a single Dragonfly Fighter cannot instantly destroy an entire civilization, but within the closed space of the Solar System, it can act as a grim reaper, wiping out city by city, region by region, planet by planet.

Give the Dragonfly Fighter several decades, and it can exterminate all 37 billion people one by one.

There would be nowhere to hide, and everyone is forced to face slaughter.

As Harrison Clark read on, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, since it’s based on a secondary modification of Earth’s original animals, there would be some enhancement, but the potential is not enough to support the height of the Dragonfly Fighter.

However, this is still not to be underestimated.

Extinct Animals possess not only wisdom but also incredible bio-weapon structures, so their lethality to humans is self-evident.

More insidiously, the invaders still employ the tactic of latent outbreak, deliberately controlling the timing of the Z Bacteria explosion.

Initially, animals infiltrated by Z Bacteria did not display any significant external changes, nor did their temperament change much. Instead, they merely continued to quietly expand their range, silently spreading the bacteria. This latent infiltration is extremely covert and insidious.

Z Bacteria disguised itself as a harmless ordinary bacteria.

Even when biologists noticed something was off, they did not realize its danger and merely considered it a new species resulting from natural evolution within the biological world.

This disguise is not difficult. As long as the gene information of Z Bacteria controls the number of subpopulations within a single individual, not exceeding ten thousand, no remarkable intelligence can be displayed.

With humanity’s level of biological knowledge, hardly anyone could think that there would indeed be a kind of bacteria in the universe that, upon reaching ten thousand in population, suddenly gives birth to group intelligence and can even support a massive population of up to 20 billion, forming an intelligence scale no less than that of humans.

Super biologist Willian discovered the presence of Z Bacteria in a dragonfly as early as 2546, but even he had not realized it.

He had deliberately cultured a small group of Z Bacteria totaling ten billion. However, Willian was also deceived by the Oscar-worthy performance of Z Bacteria’s “feigning stupidity.”

Time flew by, and fourteen years passed..
