I Really Didn’t Want to be a Savior

In 2519, after decades of recuperation and development, the Martians built a base covering a total area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers, and the total population exceeded three million.

The main building structure of the base is composed of hundreds of force field shields.

Under this force field shield, people plant farmland, install solar energy equipment, and build factories, research institutes, hospitals, schools, commercial areas, and accommodation areas, forming basic urban functions.

In addition to Mars, Mercury and Venusians were also born on Mercury and Venus, totaling hundreds of thousands of people.

Humanity also has several large space stations orbiting the Earth, Mercury, Venus, and Mars respectively. Each space station has as many as 100,000 people and as few as several thousand people.

The moon has also been completely transformed, making it habitable in all aspects except gravity.

Humanity has completely rushed out of the earth.

Although it is impossible to leave the solar system, ordinary people do not fully know.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it is only a matter of time to break out of the solar system. Now it is just that the newly established world government wants to complete its victory, so let everyone focus on the surroundings first and develop the resources within the solar system.

However, since the beginning of the winter of 2519, a catastrophe has occurred on the earth and spread to every human base.

It all happened so fast, so swiftly and suddenly.

A superbug appears out of nowhere.

No one knows where it was first born. By the time humans reacted, it had spread throughout civilization in a very short period of time.

Superbugs are extremely infectious and have the amazing ability to divide and multiply rapidly.

At the same time, its incubation period is extremely long, reaching half a year, which is simply appalling.

Various factors combine to produce results that are almost unbearable for humans.

During the incubation stage, no symptoms will be shown at all, and even a comprehensive physical examination by the artificial intelligence medical assistant equipped by everyone will not be detectable.

However, once it attacks, the symptoms are very severe and may even secrete neurotoxic toxins, causing the patient to have hallucinations and become manic.

And the cycle from onset to death is as long as two months. During these two months, the patient will gradually lose the ability to move and eventually die.

This gradual process of death is almost irreversible.

Less than two days after the first case of the disease broke out, tens of millions of people around the world became infected in a short period of time.

The medical system responded quickly, but soon... was defeated.

This is a powerful superbug that humans have never seen before.

Almost all the antibiotics humans have mastered have become ineffective.

Almost all biological treatment options are ineffective.

In the absence of effective treatment options, one can only rely on one's own immunity to fight the disease.

In the early 26th century, atomic therapeutic devices had not yet been born. Human beings were unable to treat patients at the atomic level. Second-level molecular therapeutic devices were still under theoretical research. Therefore, there was no way to deal with this kind of biomedical treatment. When faced with the disease, human beings are helpless.

In the early stages of a superbug outbreak, the mortality rate is extremely high, and even if the disease is cured through forced treatment, it will leave serious sequelae and make people unable to work.

All kinds of antibiotics were tried, but they all failed.

It is obviously a DNA bacterium, and its biological indicators are close to Staphylococcus aureus.

It is heat-resistant, and the most suitable temperature is 37 degrees. At the same time, it is resistant to high salt and can grow in salt water with a concentration of 10%.

It should be so commonplace that it doesn't do much harm to the human body.

Scientists also don’t know to what extent it has mutated to produce such a lethality of high latency, high lethality, and high reproduction.

Its ability to rapidly mutate is nothing like a DNA bacterium.

Faced with the pursuit of antibiotics, it only takes most of a day to develop resistance.

Medical staff keep changing the antibiotics, and it keeps beating the antibiotics.

Facing the counterattack of the human immune system, it becomes extremely cunning. If the human immune system is strong, then it can assimilate deeper enough to deceive the immune system and enter a deep incubation period.

If it finds that the immune system is relatively weak, it will explode with stronger reproductive capacity and resistance, eventually intensifying the war with the immune system and leading to the death of the host.

Its pathological characteristics are also constantly changing, and the manifestations are becoming more and more complex. The only constant is that each pathological characteristic will eventually point to the death of the host.

Its rapid mutation and stubborn characteristics make it almost impossible to develop specific drugs and vaccines.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, whether it is a virus or a bacterium, it should mutate in a direction that is more suitable for transmission and less toxic. This should be an objective law that is as unquestionable as the sun rising every day.

But this superbug goes against this common sense.

It has not evolved in the direction of weakening its toxicity, but has continued to brutally evolve in the direction of becoming more survivable in the air, making its silent state more concealed and stable, causing symptoms to be milder and more widespread, and attacking more and more types of human organs.

This is completely illogical, a mutation with enhanced transmissibility and lethality, and it is extremely fast.

As concentrated outbreaks and unstoppable spread in various parts of the world intensify, human conventional isolation methods are becoming increasingly difficult to be effective.

Group after group of medical personnel fell on the front line.

Life and death are happening all over the world every moment.

A group of medical personnel fell.

Another group of medical staff signed life and death certificates, waved goodbye to their families, and rushed forward.

There are fewer and fewer skilled medical personnel.

Supplies are becoming increasingly scarce.

The air is filled with ubiquitous superbugs.

They become dust in the air, hard to guard against and unavoidable.

Order gradually collapsed.

A doomsday catastrophe swept the world silently.

This is a war.

A war that took place before humans and super bacteria, without the smoke of gunpowder, was more brutal.

In the long and long history of mankind, we have faced disease countless times.

The number of people killed and sacrificed on this white battlefield was ten times and a hundred times that of all other types of wars combined.

This time, it was especially tragic.

Humanity is losing ground.

After arriving, medical students went up, as did volunteers who had undergone brief systematic training.

Fear pervades the world, and mankind has no retreat.

No one would actively choose to die if they could live.

But there will always be some people who understand that they cannot retreat and must step up.

Putting aside the concept of country and country, putting aside all so-called feelings, people will always realize that if no one stops the disaster and allows the disaster to spread and develop, then their parents, children, grandparents, and all relatives and friends will be in need. The day I have to face all this.

The nascent world government abandoned all prejudices as quickly as possible and reached a unified consensus in just a few days.

Humanity must unite without reservation and declare war on this disaster.

Only by defeating the enemy can mankind survive!

Leaders who were jointly elected by the leaders of all mankind stood up.

He rushed to the front line and issued a deafening cry.

"Humanity has a history of millions of years since its birth. The history of our civilization is also 5,500 years old! We are always fighting, fighting against ourselves, and fighting against nature."

"We will always face failure, but we will always stand on this planet in the end. We are called the cancer of the earth by environmentalists. Well, we admit it, we are the cancer. This bacteria is the antibiotic of the earth. It wants to destroy us. But what is the characteristic of cancer? It is stubbornness! It is never giving up! It is never giving up!"

"We are facing an unprecedented challenge. This is not a personal matter, it is a common challenge for all mankind! It's time for us to unite!"

"We need soldiers on the front line, and we need more soldiers! We cannot let the sacrifices of medical staff be in vain. More people must stand up and take over the trenches they once guarded! Hold on to the position that belongs to all mankind!"

"Our logistics resources must keep up! We cannot let soldiers go to the front line without equipment! We need people from all walks of life to return to their respective posts, and our social order must function!"

"We must deliver protective clothing, masks, eye masks, and medicines to the frontline warriors one after another!"

"Wear your mask, goggles, and gloves, and never touch your eyes, nose, ears, or mouth without washing your hands. Take all possible protective measures, stand at your position, and fight Bar!"

"Wave goodbye to your family and go to the front line! Every post is a battlefield for everyone! Gentlemen, stand up! For yourself, for your family, and for humanity!"

"Survival or destruction? It depends on everyone's choice! Make your choice! One step back is destruction, one step forward is rebirth! Charge!"

This speech was rushed, not carefully crafted, and the wording was mediocre, but it was sincere and heartfelt, igniting the fighting spirit of the survivors in the overwhelming despair.

When the leader spoke, the Weishui River was behind him.

Later generations called this passage the "Declaration of Defeat."

The Declaration of Ending the Water eliminated everyone's sense of luck and made everyone understand that mankind is on the edge of the cliff and is in a desperate situation.

No one can survive alone.

There is no retreat for mankind!

Isolation wards and hospitals are ineffective, so humans create isolation zones!

Large areas of healthy humans were evacuated.

Everyone keeps a physical distance from everyone on the street, but all it takes is a distant glance to understand each other's thoughts.

At this moment, everyone is a comrade-in-arms with the same enemy.

Everyone understands that behind everyone standing outside like themselves, there is a family that must be shouldered.

The young men and women in every family have each chosen the position they want to take.

More and more people, knowing that there is danger, go to receive basic medical training. After less than a month of surprise training, they pass the assessment and then put on isolation suits, masks, gloves, and glasses to endure the torture of sweltering heat. Rushed to the front line.

Sweat soaked the soldiers' clothes.

Tears fell, but everyone gritted their teeth and held on, fighting to the death.

However, superbugs are too powerful.

The quarantine area is getting wider and wider, and the battle lines are moving back bit by bit.

The quarantine area marked in red on the map is getting larger and larger.

Humanity has fought and retreated, but never collapsed.

Because everyone knows that since ancient times, humans have never died on their knees!

Even if there is a day of doomsday, we will sing the last war song.

As Master Zhong Lei sang in "Bathing in Fire", as long as we never give up hope, we will be reborn one day.

Even if I die in battle, even if my ashes are buried deep in the ground, my family will definitely see the light of day!

Someone will come and take over my trenches, and my sacrifice will not be in vain!

must!

one year later.

Humanity finally succeeded in drawing land as a boundary and establishing a complete isolation zone.

Human activities range from all over the world to less than two-thirds of the territory.

This year, all mankind has lost more than 10% of its total population. The price paid has been painful and eye-catching, but it has finally stabilized its position.

But it’s still not time to take things lightly.

Without being reminded by others, everyone in the world knows that we cannot relax yet, let alone give up on the medical staff, volunteers, and self-sacrificing patients who are guarding the border with their lives in the quarantine area.

The will of the great will be inherited by the equally great me!

The war continues and becomes even more intense.

I started to believe in fate. I believe in both the cruelty of fate and the kindness of fate. But the mercy of fate does not come because of my weakness. It is only because of my strength that fate has to be kind to me.
