Just thinking about that scene is enough to make the remaining eight billion people's scalps tingle.

Humanity once again took action immediately, using all its strength to try to block the entrances of all rivers to the sea.

Bad news keeps coming.

Not long after, a snail was also found to be an infectious agent. The territory of the bacteria expanded again.

Humanity has almost fallen into complete despair.

The sigh that hung in my heart almost disappeared.

However, things took a turn for the better half a year later. When all animals in Australia were infected for half a year, people found that the evolution of S bacteria had stagnated.

It's stuck at a bottleneck.

It seems that it is not so easy for bacteria to break out of the shackles of animals.

The sea has become a fragile barrier to protect human life.

Although there are still infected animals carrying S bacteria to other continents through the coastline, the defense lines built by humans with all their strength can still barely stop it.

However, nearly two billion people died in the past three years.

Some people suggest that it is time to blow up the Australian continent.

Completely destroying it will eliminate at least most of the S bacteria.

At this time, a scientist named Lai Wenming stood up. He rejected the proposal to sink the Australian continent and put forward another great conjecture. The evolutionary ability of bacteria is so powerful that it completely violates scientific common sense.

But the rules of the universe are fair after all. If you want to obtain super-class abilities, you must pay a corresponding price.

No matter how slow the normal mutation and evolution of microorganisms is, as long as the total amount of organisms reaches a certain level, the evolutionary process should be eternal and stable throughout.

The evolutionary process itself should not have clear-cut bottlenecks.

It should be a relatively smooth line, and if this line represents evolution, under the premise of infinite time, it should be endless and without boundaries.

Evolution should be a never-ending process.

But S bacteria are completely different.

Although it evolves quickly, it seems to be very deliberate every time, breaking through boundaries within a species, order, and family.

Judging from the sampling situation, S bacteria have never crossed two families of the same level at the same time. They always complete one first and then quickly jump to the other, just like jumping up the stairs, crossing one bottleneck after another.

Its evolution is towards leapfrog, one meal after another.

Therefore, the price for S bacteria to acquire super evolutionary capabilities is exactly the bottleneck it must face when evolving.

And its bottleneck has an end point.

When the ability of S bacteria reaches a certain limit, it will completely stop evolving and its DNA will stabilize.

By that time, as long as humans can capture the ultimate form of S bacteria before it spreads around the world, and based on its final stabilized DNA, we can create an effective broad-spectrum vaccine!

Because we captured their emperor!

To capture the thief, capture the king first!

Lai Wenming believes that the limit of S bacteria will appear when its vector crosses the realm of animals and enters the realm of all eukaryotic organisms.

Before it spreads, catch the ultimate form of the S-Bacteria King, dissect it, and make a vaccine!

The most likely place where the Poison King was born is the Australian continent!

If the Australian continent is blown up and the most active group of S bacteria is allowed to return to the sea, then everything will become a dream.

Moreover, it is impossible to predict whether ultra-large doses of nuclear radiation will lead to new violent mutations.

Completing Lai Wenming's plan is humanity's only chance to make a comeback, and it must be grasped tightly.

Of course, no one knows how much time is left for humanity.

Perhaps one day, the ultimate poison king will be born silently and multiply, becoming unstoppable.

"Gentlemen, charge."

"We must finish all the work before the Poison King is born!"

"Counterattack!"

"Put our detectors all over the Australian continent!"

"There's no time to wait. Anyway, even if I'm wearing an isolation suit, I'll be accidentally infected sooner or later, and it will also delay the efficiency of my work!"

"I won't wear an isolation suit! It's too slow, too slow!"

"Yes, there are not enough materials for isolation suits. Leave it to scientists and medical staff."

"When I die, my family will be proud of me."

"Report! All crew members of the C19915 engineering ship refused to wear isolation suits!"

"Approval. Wait for me."

The general mobilization order resounded throughout the starry sky of the solar system.

One fleet after another, full of suicide squads, took off and headed straight for the Australian continent.

Yes, it is clear that we can return, but no one has made the journey back.

Because no one can guarantee whether the returning spacecraft will be full of bacteria.

When going out for war, the warriors chose the path of no return and became martyrs.

Human beings began to sprinkle seeds of hope on Australian roads at a density of one probe per square kilometer.

Every seed represents the gradual extinguishing of the light of life for a bunch of volunteers.

Five years have passed.

In the past five years, hundreds of millions of volunteers have died on the Australian continent, and the populations on other continents have also dropped by nearly 100 million.

Those who went to Australia were death squads.

Those remaining on the coastlines of other continents are also death squads.

Humanity has built a total of 7.61 million integrated large-scale detection probes in Australia. It is a large-scale research institute used to analyze and decipher the DNA structure of S. bacteria, which can provide accurate data support for vaccine production.

In order to ensure accuracy and sensitivity, each probe is approximately equivalent to a thirty-story building, filled with various precision instruments.

On average, more than 80 people are sacrificed for every probe built.

Millions of volunteers have sacrificed their lives to build large-scale research institutes.

Most people here only have two months left to live.

There is no way.

Isolation suits are really not enough.

Even if you wear an isolation suit, your life span will only be a few months longer than if you don't wear one.

Fortunately, during these five years, the ultimate poison king S bacteria predicted by Lai Wenming did not emerge.

People began to wait in pain and anxiety.

Lai Wenming once again raised another matter.

One research institute is not enough.

Because no one knows how far the ultimate poison king’s diffusion ability will reach.

He hopes to build at least twenty research institutes, and each institute will have scientific researchers stationed there.

As soon as you discover it, you must start deciphering it as soon as possible!

Because if humans can grab one more second, it’s just one second.

Humanity began to fall into painful debates, and eventually the words supporting Lai Wenming prevailed.

The second great migration of no return begins.

More volunteers are heading to Australia one after another.

These people went to build more research institutes, or began intensive analysis and deciphering within the strictly guarded research institutes, constantly accumulating experience and valuable data.

The institute has isolation measures, which is slightly safer than in the wild, but S-bacteria are so difficult to prevent, accidents often occur, and the group is wiped out.

But after the group was destroyed, people did not panic. They remained calm, repaired the loopholes, and spent just two months of their lives, despite their sick bodies, to accumulate knowledge and try to decipher the characteristics of the Poison King.

After everyone in this batch was sacrificed, the institute fell into a deep sleep, waiting for the arrival of its successor, and then restarted work after a comprehensive clean-up of viruses.

In the past two years, a total of twenty research institutes have been completed evenly distributed across the Australian continent.

At this time, the total human population has dropped to four billion.

On the Australian mainland.

Abandoned warships filled the valley.

The bones of the dead stain the mountain peaks white.

Only the detection probe and the indicator light of the institute seem to shine forever and never go out. The bacteria still have not evolved into the ultimate poison king, but with every new sampling test, new changes in its DNA sequence can be found, but there are no
