Eternal damnation

After the warning was translated, everyone gave up the idea of opening the building.

Old man Chris immediately decided to bury the huge stone structure back into the ground.

In the long history of Calilandon, Elia, thousands of years ago, was a glorious ancient civilization.

Exquisite artifacts and written records unearthed from countless places attest to the flourishing of the Eleatic civilization at that time.

Only at one point, it was as if the Eleatic civilization had suddenly disappeared, broken off in history.

There is no record to explain exactly what happened at the time, causing brilliant Elia to disappear into history.

Old Man Chris reported the curse on the stone wall to the federal government after burying the boulder building back into the ground.

It is hoped that the area will be controlled and no digging will be allowed.

What he never expected, however, was that the word eternal life on the curse, like a curse, attracted the interest of the federal government and members of Parliament.

Over his strong objections, the federal government forcibly dug up the megalithic structure.

And ridiculed him for being too superstitious to believe in an ancient curse.

When the federal government opened the megalithic building, there was an altar with a mysterious metal artifact on it.

The metalwork resembles a small triangular pyramid, covered with mysterious runes.

The whole metal pyramid is integrated, without a single gap.

The federal government immediately dispatched troops to seal off the site and took the metal pyramid back to the institute.

The next day, the federal government summoned countless scholars and professors to begin to crack the secrets of this metal pyramid, including Chris.

But no one could understand what the runes on the metal pyramid meant.

There was no progress, and the federal government's patience was wearing thin.

So they cut the metal pyramid by force.

When the metal pyramid was opened, everyone was shocked!

Inside was a gigantic heart that was still beating!

The discovery threw everyone into a wild surprise.

A heart sealed for thousands of years is still alive!

Does the legendary immortality really exist?

Or does the heart belong to the gods?

The federal government immediately ordered a blackout on the news.

At the same time, the study of the giant heart began.

Soon, by taking blood and tissue from the heart, they were able to identify a virus that had never been seen before.

The virus is extremely active and can enter a dormant state without any nutrients.

Once supplemented with nutrients, the virus can divide and multiply rapidly in a very short period of time.

The researchers conducted live experiments on mice and found that as long as the virus was present, the mice were able to maintain their super activity even after death.

But the researchers could not tell whether the mice that remained physically active after death still had a mind.

To test this, they began experimenting with death row inmates.

You kill these criminals, and then after they die, you inject the virus into their bodies, and you watch what happens.

As a result, the criminals who were killed came back to life without exception!

But after the resurrection, not as the researchers expected, basically have lost all the ability to think and respond to the outside world.

The virus is just keeping their bodies alive.

So they started experimenting directly with live people.

As a result, all the criminals who had been injected with the virus slowly lost any sense of reason and became extremely aggressive.

The federal government was disappointed by the results.

Researchers are also beginning to change their thinking, trying various ways to make viruses mutate and evolve.

Everyone wants a perfect virus that can keep old, damaged bodies alive without affecting the sanity of the mind.

Once this perfect virus can be cultivated, then human beings will achieve true immortality from now on!

Humans will become gods, immortal, unafraid of injury!

This perfect virus is a deadly temptation for federal government officials and lawmakers!

In particular, the desire for the perfect virus has reached a maniacal level among some members of Parliament who are old and frail and have little time to live.

The federal corporations are just as desperate for the perfect virus.

This means not only endless wealth, but also permanent control over wealth and status.

As a result, all the experts in the biological, medical, and viral fields of the Federation were gathered by the government to the capital and carried out large-scale research on the virus.

During the course of the study, the virus also mutated several times, as they had hoped.

It's just that the mutated virus still doesn't meet their requirements.

So the research continued, until one day, the virus mutated and got out of control!

The previous virus was only contagious through bodily fluids, but the new variant is airborne.

The researchers didn't see this at first.

It wasn't until the institute's staff got so sick that they started showing signs of infection that the federal government realized something was wrong.

It's just too late to lock down the institute!

The virus has spread, and the researchers' families and neighbors are all showing symptoms of infection.

Soon, large numbers of infected people began to appear across the capital.

Previous vaccines developed by researchers against the virus also lost their effectiveness after the virus mutated.

And the mutated virus is far more frightening than before!

Infected with the mutated virus, the skin of the whole body began to fester, and the body produced distortion and mutation under the influence of the virus.

And the original virus parent, that giant heart, evolved in a way that no one could understand!

The virus parent appears to be able to control all the viruses that break off.

All the infected researchers were swallowed up under the control of the virus mother and became the nutritional raw materials of the virus mother.

The institute became a terrifying inferno.

The only good news is that the mutated virus loses its ability to spread through the air in a very short time, and can only be infected through bodily fluids.

The entire capital city of Newman has a population of more than 2 million, and more than 70% of the people infected by the virus!

The rest either died in the riots or fled in the first place.

There are very, very few people left in this huge city.

Most frightening of all, the mother virus seems to be constantly evolving.

Every few months, a large number of zombies and zombie variants spontaneously enter the place where the virus mother is, and are devoured by the virus mother to become food.

This situation continued until half a month ago, when the last batch of zombies were devoured, which is why there is not a single zombie in the entire capital!

The only ones not affected are the mutated creatures infected with the virus, who seem to retain their original thinking and sanity.

Humans want to pursue the perfect effect of the virus, but it has appeared in previously unremarkable animals.

For all mankind, this is like a huge joke between God and mankind.

I have to say, this is a great irony!
