Chapter 198: Chapter 158: Self-Combustion_3

Other life forms have no end, but it does!
When the S Bacteria’s ability reaches a certain limit, it will stop evolving completely, and its DNA will become stable.
At that time, if humans can capture the ultimate form of S Bacteria before it spreads across the globe, they can use its final stable DNA to create an effective broad-spectrum vaccine!
Because we have caught their emperor!
When catching a group of thieves, catch the king first!
Willian believed that the limit of the S Bacteria would appear when its carriers surpassed the animal kingdom and entered the realm of all eukaryotes.
Before it spreads, capture the ultimate form of the S Bacteria – the Ultimate Poison King – dissect it and create a vaccine!
And the most likely birthplace of the Poison King is the Australian Continent!
If we destroy the Australian Continent, forcing the most active group of S Bacteria to return to the sea, then everything will turn into a fleeting illusion.
Moreover, it is impossible to predict whether a massive dose of nuclear radiation will cause new drastic mutations.
Executing Willian’s plan is the only chance for humanity to turn the tide, and it must be firmly seized.
Of course, no one knows how much time is left for humanity.
Perhaps one day, the Ultimate Poison King will be born silently, reproduce, and become unstoppable.
“Gentlemen, charge.”
“We must complete all tasks before the birth of the Poison King!”
“Counterattack!”
“Spread our detection probes all over the Australian Continent!”
“There’s no time to wait. Wearing an isolation suit will still inevitably cause us to be infected accidentally, and it will also delay my work efficiency!”
“I won’t wear an isolation suit anymore! It’s too slow, too slow!”
“Yes, there’s not enough material for isolation suits, save them for scientists and medical personnel.”
“After my death, my family will be proud of me.”
“Report! Engineering Ship C19915, the entire crew refuses isolation suits!”
“Approved. Wait for me.”
The general mobilization order resounded through the starry sky of the Solar System.
One after another, fleets full of daredevil teams took to the skies and headed straight for the Australian Continent.
Yes, they could have returned, but no one set foot on the way back.
Because no one could guarantee that the returning spacecraft would not be covered in bacteria.
When they set out, the warriors chose the path of no return and became martyrs.
Humans began to sow the seeds of hope on the Australian Continent at a density of one probe per square kilometer.
Each seed represents the life force of a group of volunteers gradually being extinguished.
Five years passed.
During these five years, hundreds of millions of volunteers were sacrificed, and the population on other continents also declined by nearly 100 million.
Those who went to Australia were on suicide missions.
The same went for those who stayed on the other continents’ coastlines.
On the Australian Continent, humanity had built a total of 7,610,000 large-scale integrated detection probes and a large research institute to analyze and decipher the S Bacterium DNA structure, providing accurate data support for vaccine production.
In order to ensure accuracy and sensitivity, each probe was roughly equivalent to a 30-story high-rise building, packed with various precision instruments.
An average of over 80 people were sacrificed for each probe built.
Even more volunteers, millions in fact, were sacrificed for the construction of the large research institutes.
The vast majority of people here had only two months left to live.
There was no other way.
There really weren’t enough isolation suits.
Even if they wore isolation suits, compared to those who didn’t, they would only have a few more months of life.
Fortunately, during these five years, the Ultimate Poison King version of the S Bacteria that Willian predicted did not appear.
People began to fall into painful and anxious waiting.
Willian put forward another issue.
One research institute is not enough.
This is because no one knows what level the Ultimate Poison King’s spreading ability will reach.
He hopes to build at least 20 research institutes, and each institute must have resident scientists.
As long as they are discovered, they must start deciphering immediately!
Because for every second humanity can save, it is one second gained.
People began to engage in painful debates, and in the end, those who supported Willian’s argument gained the upper hand.
The second large-scale migration of no return began.
More and more volunteers went to Australia in waves.
These people went to build more research institutes or worked tirelessly inside the well-guarded institutes to analyze and decipher while constantly accumulating experience and valuable data.
While the research institutes had isolation measures and were slightly safer than the outside, the S Bacteria was still difficult to defend against. Accidents often occurred and wiped out entire teams.
However, after the teams were wiped out, people remained calm, fixed the loopholes, and continued to accumulate knowledge using their short two-month life spans while battling illness in an attempt to uncover the characteristics of the Poison King.
After all the current team members were sacrificed, the institute would fall asleep, waiting for the next generation to arrive, be fully disinfected, and resume work.
Two more years passed, and a total of 20 research institutes were constructed evenly across the Australian Continent.
At this moment, the total human population had dropped to 4 billion.
On the Australian Continent…
Abandoned warships filled the valleys.
The bones of the dead whitened the peaks.
Only the indicator lights of the detection probes and research institutes seemed to shine forever and never go out.
The S Bacteria still hadn’t evolved into the Ultimate Poison King, but with each new sample test, new changes in its DNA sequence were discovered. However, no one knew when the quantitative changes would lead to qualitative changes. Human construction ceased.
More and more experienced scientists, medical workers, as well as new recruits young and old, male and female, to scientific research and medical fields, embarked on the journey once again..
