Chapter 1075: It’s around us

A night passed since the war ended, the next morning, there were snowflakes dancing in the sky .

It was the end of May, close to summer for the Northern Hemisphere, but the concept of weather didn’t apply to the tundra in northern Finland . Located in the Arctic Circle, if an Arctic Ocean monsoon crossed, snow was even possible till mid-June .

At this moment, above the military base next to Paltamo, the flag was replaced with Celestial Trade’s flag .

After several rounds of bombing, there was not a single standing building inside the base . After negotiating with the Finns, Celestial Trade transported supplies to the base through Russia . The logistics and research teams from Murmansk arrived by plane and set up tents outside the military base .

Unlike the bacteria Jiang Chen saw in the apocalypse before, these improved X2 bacteria were tenacious . Even without the nest, they could survive for a long time . Therefore, it would be too risky to not cleanse them completely .

Without the injection of genetic vaccines, any organism that inhaled the spores over a certain threshold would exhibit “zombie” behavior . Especially for primates, the more developed the brain, the more susceptible to these toxic bacteria .

After the arrival of a thousand-person logistics team, the first order Jiang Chen gave them was to kill the spores floating in the air and eradicate all sources of infection .

Although no agents have been developed to kill these spores, not everything must be solved by technology .

These spores could extinguish fires, but conversely, they extinguished fires by sacrificing themselves, and without a nest to reproduce more spores, these characteristics accelerated their demise . No special sterilization equipment was needed, and a flamethrower produced unexpected results .

Now the entire military base was still covered by spores . Other than soldiers in power armor, only the logistics personnel wearing orange chemical protective suits remained on the scene . The mutants’ corpses were piled up in an open space one kilometer away from the military base and incinerated with gasoline .

The dark smoke that floated up into the sky yesterday was still visible the next morning . It was even visible from Paltamo .

In the command post next to the military base, the brigade commander Kleinman took off his power armor . He was wearing heavy winter clothes, standing at the desk and, listening to reports from his subordinates .

“… Columbia TV hopes to enter the military base to film the underground bunker and wreckage . ”

“Tell them to get permission from Celestial Trade . We are soldiers, we don’t have permission to decide such matters,” Kleinman said impatiently .

It was already the fifth media station that knocked on his door . Now, the world was focused on this military camp, and everyone was focused on one question – how would Celestial Trade deal with the aftermath?

“In addition, the Finnish Presidential Palace officials contacted us this morning . The president hopes to have a conversation with us on in regards to the handling of the mutants’ body . Instead of incinerating, they hope we can come up with a more environmentally-friendly solution . ”

Kleinman raised his eyebrows .

“Then tell him, either accept our plan or try to deal with the source of the infection . If they want, we can send the corpses to the warehouse in the nearby town, free of charge . ”

“Roger . ”

The officer saluted and left the room .

Kleinman sat back in his chair and planned to rest for a moment .

However, before the seat was even warm . A sergeant ran inside and woke him up from his half-asleep state .

The content of the report was only a few words . But Kleinman, who was disturbed by his dream, did not show any temper .

The sergeant saluted

“Report! The boss is coming . ”

At noon, a helicopter flew from the other side of the mountain and landed steadily on the tarmac in the military base .

Jiang Chen, wearing a chemical protective suit and a gas mask, jumped off the helicopter . Although he didn’t need to wear any protection, it was better to not shock the world again with the current concentration of spores .

Behind him was the Russian Security Service Director Barth, in wearing a chemical protective suit . He was examining the chaotic base .

Originally, Ayesha also planned to come along, but considering that they would not stay in Finland for too long, Jiang Chen asked her return to Coro Island .

The brigade commander Kleinman saluted to Jiang Chen in his power armor .

Jiang Chen nodded to him with approval .

“Thank you for your service . ”

“My honor!” Kleinman grinned .

Jiang Chen continued, “How is the situation underground?”

Kleinman replied, “The nest is confirmed dead and there is no living residue . The logistics unit is still working on cleaning out the X2 bacteria and the research team from Coro Island is investigating the remains of the nest . ”

“Take us down . ”

“Roger!”

Kleinman saluted .

Behind Kleinman, Jiang Chen and Barth walked to the crater in the center of the base . It used to be the entrance to the underground bunker . It collapsed due to the bombardment of Celestial Trade . In order to facilitate the cleaning personnel and the research team, the logistics team built a temporary lift .

The three arrived at the entrance of the underground bunker 500 meters below .

“This is the interior of the nest? The flesh bubbles are indeed disgusting . ” Barth glanced at the residue on the wall, revealing a disgusted look .

“You can interpret that before the core was destroyed . The nest transformed the entire underground bunker into its own,” Jiang Chen explained .

Not far away, researchers were taking samples around the debris of the larva . DNA codes unheard of and contrary to the existence of biology completely changed the scholars’ understanding of the subject . Everyone used all 200% of their energy and devoted their passion for science to collecting these precious samples .

These were valuable materials for the entire human civilization .

For Harmony, Jiang Chen just saw a glimpse from the distance . It was fair to say he knew nothing at all .

He didn’t expect to learn from the wreckage of the nest about the weakness of Harmony, but for now, it was the only means for the Earth civilization to learn about them .

Because of the chemical protective suit, no one recognized Jiang Chen’s identity along the way . The soldiers guarding saluted to Kleinman and let them in .

Accompanied by Kleinman, the two arrived at the ruins of the core of the nest .

Barth glanced at the resin-like “coffin” inside the choatic scene and saw a familiar face through the broken film .

“Carmen Rothschild?”

“That’s right . ”

“You really killed him,” Bart said . “For me, the International Court is his best destination . ”

“It would be a problem to keep him,” Jiang Chen said emotionlessly .

He did not know what Harmony revealed to him . If those worms told him his ability to travel through dimensions, it would be an issue .

The Rothschild family had produced tens of thousands of Golden Apples and these Golden Apples were a hidden danger to him and to the human civilization .

However, he was now there to get rid of this hidden danger!

Jiang Chen gestured to Kleinman standing next to him and then pointed to the head of the resin coffin . Kleinman understood and took out a dagger . He cut open the resin surface, put his steel fist inside, and pulled out the black sphere .

When Barth saw the black sphere, the change in his expression was subtle .

“The Golden Apple,” accepting the black sphere from Kleinman, Jiang Chen weighed it in his hand . “We have always thought that it is a tool used to communicate with the future . In fact, this is not the case . ”

“Communication is only its basic ability . Its true ability is brainwashing, infecting their holders in a subtle way, and turning them into their slaves . Whether Tanaka or Carmen, they were essentially the same type of people . ”

Jiang Chen pretended to be disgusted by it and tossed the Golden Apple back to Kleinman, indicating for him to put it back .

He couldn’t see Barth’s expression through the protective suit, but his years of experience of bluffing told him he achieved his purpose .

The revolution in Frankberg was about to end in victory . Russia certainly obtained many Golden Apples from the rebels . If they referred to previous intelligence and experimented, they may learn some new things . Jiang Chen must warn them before they figure out how to use the Golden Apple .

They must feel fearful .

“The most terrifying fact is that the biological civilization that communicates through the Golden Apple communicates not with the future . ”

After a pause, Jiang Chen looked at Barth .

“But with what is around us . ”
