Li Nian is in his doomsday bunker, eating biscuits and listening to the radio as the federal government, the state of Texas, the Democratic Party, the Republican Party and even the local cults blame each other for the disaster.
Of course the cults don't shirk their responsibility, and the local cult, the New Dawn Church, takes responsibility.
Li Nian, as a member of the wealthy second generation who has inherited a large inheritance and insurance compensation from his parents, naturally doesn't need to go to work.
But at the same time,
"Oh shit!"
"Have all the stray cats and dogs gone crazy?"
Li Nian's poor neighbor, the blonde beauty Emily, was firing wildly while driving to work.
She had spent the night fighting the cockroaches in her house. God knows how these guys suddenly got bigger and weren't afraid of insecticides. Emily could only use her pistol to send them away one by one. The gunshots Li Lin heard late at night were Emily's.
With dark circles under her eyes, she had driven less than three kilometers and had killed at least five huge stray dogs and two stray cats that were so fast they left afterimages.
As a female cowboy in the Wild West, Emily could not only wear tight-fitting overalls, high heels, and stuff two pistols into her body, but also shoot wild animals on the roadside while driving.
Suddenly, a heavily modified pickup truck appeared on the side of the road, with sacred church hymns playing on the stereo and the vehicle covered in flags that were bleeding reverse crosses.
This was the local cult New Dawn Church, which had claimed responsibility for the biological attack the previous day. They drove around in their propaganda vehicle, shouting that the Day of Judgment was here and calling on the public to join them.
"Fuck, why are these lunatics not at work!"
Under Emily's delicate makeup, she couldn't hide her dark circles and fatigue.
The resentment of having to work on the day of the world's end filled Emily's body.
With gunshots along the way, Emily finally arrived in the city center and at the office building where she worked.
"Ding dong,"
The elevator door opened and a figure staggered towards her. A man in ragged clothes, covered in tears, covered in unidentified blood and pieces of internal organs, exuding a disgusting fishy smell, stood in the elevator doorway, ready to press the button.
"Oh shit."
"Don't shoot, don't shoot, Emily, I'm not a monster, I'm Smith."
He said, pulling off the entrails on his head and throwing them on the ground, revealing a white face.
"I just killed my hamster Nibbles with my own hands. It's okay for this guy to grow as big as a cat, but he also wants to eat me."
Emily, how are you? Smith asked, looking at Emily, who looked tired.
"I feel great, so great that I can still play with my cockroaches all night."
"Okay, guys, let's get to work. Emily, you're two minutes late, and Smith, you're not allowed to leave your desk during work."
"Boss, I just need to go wash up."
"Suit yourself. Leaving your desk for five minutes is considered absenteeism."
"The computer and printer are both broken today, so all work must be done by hand until new equipment arrives."
The grievances in the office seemed to have turned into a solidified...
In the high-security Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a bald researcher with bloodshot eyes stares intently at the screen. As the image on the screen appears, the bald researcher lets out a crazed cheer!
I found it! I found it!
This is the key to human evolution.
The laboratory director Wilson quickly approached, "What's the situation with Professor Hassan? What have you found?"
Professor Hassan pounced on him, grabbed him by the collar and said, "You'll never guess what I've found! I've discovered the key to human evolution! The evolutionary chain is unlocked!"
Before Wilson could lose his temper, Professor Hassan finally began to explain his great discovery.
"In the genome of living organisms, there are a large number of sequences called 'non-coding DNA'. These sequences are considered 'junk DNA' or 'redundant genes' by the group of conservatives. I, however, have always insisted that the key to biological evolution and the future of mankind is stored here. After the strong electromagnetic storm yesterday, I noticed that the chain of life was unlocked!"
"Do you know? This is such a great discovery!"
"Okay, Professor Hassan, the Nobel Prize is waiting for you, and now the United States urgently needs to understand what caused the biological unrest and attacks that broke out yesterday."
Calming down, Professor Hassan began to explain that with the strong electromagnetic storm yesterday, the creatures were unchained from the shackles on the DNA chain at a terrifying speed, and began to evolve frantically, and these evolutions were all beneficial.
"It's unbelievable, it's like God, God has sprinkled the waters of wisdom on the earth, except this time, it wasn't just humans who received it."
"The simpler the creature, the faster it evolves, but it can't be too simple, otherwise it won't have the potential to evolve. So from yesterday to today, the main creatures to evolve were medium-sized ones, such as cats and dogs, wild boars and poultry."
Professor Hassan, who had turned around, stared fixedly at the small mouse behind the shatterproof glass, which had grown to the size of a cat, covered in bone plates, fangs and sharp teeth.
No, it could no longer be called a mouse, it was a new species!
Wilson asked: So, life is beginning to re-evolve, right? What about humans?
Professor Hassan's face fell silent.
"For some reason, humans don't seem to be evolving. I don't know what's holding them back. I feel that it's not just because of the complexity of their genes, but that humans themselves are resisting this evolution."
So what will this evolution bring? Wilson continued to ask.
"So far, we haven't seen the results of evolution. It's happening too quickly. In the history of the evolution of life on Earth, the Cambrian explosion was the period of the fastest evolution of life. Within this relatively short geological period, a large number of diverse multicellular organisms appeared on the earth, and almost all existing animal phyla first appeared during this period. The rate of evolution during the Cambrian explosion was five times faster than before. And now the rate of evolution of living things is thousands of times faster than that of the Cambrian period!
"It's like someone is pushing it?"
A man dressed like an agent in a black suit and sunglasses finally spoke.
"It seems clear that this is a planned biological weapon attack."
The agent, carrying the data collated by the laboratory, rushed to the Cheyenne Mountain base, where the president had been transferred immediately after the strong electromagnetic storm yesterday. The entire Cheyenne Mountain base facility consists of 15 steel buildings located inside a granite mountain, with extremely high protection capabilities that can survive even after a nuclear war.
