Homo sapiens.

Chapter 575 Spread

Southern Rocky Mountains.

Part of the valley did not snow due to terrain barriers, but the temperature remained at 4-8 degrees Celsius.

Especially that part of the mountains near the Aztec region.

Like Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona.

Except for some small towns distributed along the road, other places here are the original landforms of mountains, forests and valleys.

11 month 26 day.

In Grand Canyon City near Grand Canyon National Park, a large number of monkeypox patients have appeared. Obviously, super monkeypox is rapidly spreading to the entire southern part of America.

The reason for paying attention to this place is that Homo Sapien's Field Service Division has set up the North American Regional Business Intelligence Center in the Grand Canyon National Park, where 172 core business intelligence investigators are stationed.

The person in charge of the business intelligence center is Columbus and Catherine, who have been working in North America for a long time.

Unlike the intelligence agencies of other forces, the Field Service Department does not like to set up intelligence stations in cities and towns, and there are even no intelligence stations in the countryside.

This is caused by the difference in intelligence means and intelligence concepts.

After all, the advantage of setting intelligence stations in human settlements such as towns is that they can reach many targets, but the disadvantages are also very obvious, and it is easy to detect abnormalities.

Therefore, the Ministry of Field Service went in the opposite direction and set up all the intelligence stations in the mountains and forests that were inaccessible.

As a national park, the Grand Canyon area not only has dense vegetation, but also has relatively complex terrain. There are not a few natural caves in the mountains that can be used.

Although locals come to travel or hunt, there are also rangers on patrol.

However, in such a vast area and such a complex terrain, in addition to the new human beings equipped with bio-based armor and various special equipment, it is impossible for natural people to find traces.

The Grand Canyon Information Center is located in a cave in a mountain. Through biological means, the cave has been widened and repaired, and the outside is also camouflaged in all directions.

Inside this small base.

Hundreds of investigators are busy with their work.

Columbus, who is eating synthetic steak in the base restaurant, is still thinking about some recent arrangements.

Suddenly his subordinate Li Xian trotted over: "Boss, we are in trouble..."

After taking a sip of the synthetic coffee, Columbus asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

"Look at this, it was just discovered by the seventh team in the river valley." Li Xian projected an investigation report.

Columbus looked at it carefully, and frowned involuntarily: "Monkeypox appears in mammals?"

Li Xian swallowed his throat: "The corpses of the 12 squirrels have been brought back, and they are in the isolation room."

Now Columbus wasn't calm anymore, he casually threw the steak into the digestive aid pouch on his waist, and drank the coffee in one gulp.

"Let's go and have a look."

Outside the isolation room.

Catherine, who was in charge of the biochemical analysis, had just finished genetic testing and squirrel autopsy. She walked out of the disinfection room after disinfection.

Columbus hurriedly asked, "Honey, how is the situation?"

"The situation is very bad. The squirrel was indeed infected by super monkeypox, and I found that the reproductive system of the squirrel was also seriously damaged, basically losing the ability to reproduce!" Catherine's face was full of worry.

"Damn it!" Columbus gasped.

While scratching his hair, he ordered: "Report this information to the headquarters immediately, and let other teams collect the animals in the surrounding area to see how many animals will be infected."

"OK."

"I'll go."

The entire Grand Canyon Intelligence Center jumped up.

In less than three days, they discovered that the seriousness of the matter was even more terrifying than imagined.

Squirrels, mice, bats, foxes, brown bears, bison, domestic animals, but any mammal, many have cases of infection.

Among them, domestic animals and pet dogs and cats are the most serious, especially those purebred pet dogs and pet cats with serious genetic diseases, which are almost completely wiped out.

Similarly, black-and-white cows, Angus cows, and white-striped pigs that have been cultivated by humans for a long time have also experienced large-scale infections.

This is simply a disaster for the animal husbandry industry.

They have received relevant information that a large number of farms in Texas have large-scale infections of dairy cows, beef cattle, and pork pigs.

Even if it is possible to use veterinary antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs to ensure that the livestock will not die, this will not help.

Because after being infected with super monkeypox, many livestock will directly lose their ability to reproduce. Although many individuals can rely on immunity and become a lucky few, the problem is that the livestock population has basically not recovered.

Especially many breeds of cattle and pigs, as well as dairy cows.

A cow loses her fertility, which means she no longer produces milk.

A large number of mammals were wiped out by monkeypox, and a small number of those who survived also possessed antibodies. However, it may take decades for the population size to return to the current order of magnitude.

Especially large behemoths, some groups of large behemoths are directly on the verge of extinction.

On the contrary, rats and wild boars, with their huge size and thick skin, will restore their group size within a few years.

However, America has never cared about the casualties of these wild animals. What they care about now is the breeding industry. Except for chicken, duck and insect farms, other mammal farms go into shock on the spot.

Even Homo sapiens' mammal farms in Central America have suffered massive production losses.

As a last resort, Homo sapiens quickly launched a synthetic meat factory, using genetically recombined insects to produce protein and fat, and then using nano-modeling technology to weave the protein and fat into artificial meat.

Insects are indeed the core of future food. The feed conversion rate is very high, the feeding cycle is relatively short, and they are very adaptable to the environment. They will basically not be infected with large-scale diseases.

After all, the population of insects is huge, and it is difficult for any microorganisms targeting them to completely exterminate them. As long as they cannot be exterminated instantly, insects will quickly evolve resistance.

This is also the reason why many insecticides must be replaced frequently in modern agricultural production.

Insects are being replaced too quickly to resist microbial threats.

Mammals headed by humans tend to reproduce very slowly, which makes humans unable to adapt to sudden environmental drastic changes and super microbes.

Now super monkeypox is teaching humans how to behave.

Columbus was at the Grand Canyon intelligence center and received daily reports of confusion and conflict across America.

After being infected, many people became inhuman and ghostless, destroying everything around them like crazy.

In just one week, the scale of shootings in America has soared hundreds of times compared to usual.

Not only ordinary people are going crazy, but ordinary soldiers of the US military are also going crazy.

The Council of the City on a Hill, who had always thought that they could control the entire America and the Freedom Federation, also felt that the situation was completely out of control at this time. They were horrified to find that their orders were no longer obeyed.

In fact, this is also very normal. The purpose of the group formed by the robbers is naturally to rob. Now there is no way to rob, and the internal free market is gradually collapsing.

Many people began to expose their nature. They frantically destroyed communication equipment, trying to block the connection between places, and then fished in troubled waters, or simply took revenge on the world.

No one expected that America would explode in such a way.

Chapter 576 The Tree Falls and the Hozen Scatteres

Boom boom boom...

A dozen rockets blasted several modified pickup trucks into thick smoke.

A bald man with a pockmarked face, holding a pistol: "Rush over, the reserve is inside."

"rush!"

"There should be something to eat inside."

Da da da... A tongue of flame shot out from the bunker on the side of the warehouse.

In an instant, more than a dozen screaming militiamen were knocked down and howled.

"Hehe, cannon! Crush this tortoise shell for me!" the bald man sneered and waved his hands.

A towed gun stuffed 120mm high-explosive shells into the bomb bay.

boom!The temporary fortress of the stubborn warehouse was blown up and down, and the people inside were completely silent.

This is western Kansas.

The interior of America has been completely messed up. The various places are either controlled by the rebels, or the militias protect themselves.

There are only 17 states remaining in the area loyal to the council, and these 17 states are still affiliated to the major families of the council, and the remaining states are in a state of chaos.

Conflicts similar to the seizure of strategic supplies and food in Kansas have occurred one after another in various places.

However, America's original identification scheme has finally completely backfired. All kinds of groups can't urinate in one pot. Now they just want to plunder the resources of other groups and let themselves grow stronger.

The reason why the chaos broke out directly this time is very simple, because the super monkeypox attacks indiscriminately.

The U.S. military, the trump card of the military-industrial complex, was suddenly paralyzed. In addition, many ordinary U.S. soldiers turned against each other and joined the rebels and local self-protection groups.

Let the council lose the most core bargaining chips at once, so there is no way to control and suppress the chaos in various places.

And this kind of large-scale civil strife has further led to the destruction of agricultural production and industrial production, and the inoperability of transportation, logistics and network communication.

There is no logistics to ensure the supply of materials, which further leads to competition for materials.

The so-called neighbors stock up on grain and I stock up on guns, and the neighbor with a gun is my granary.

People and groups who have no supplies and hold weapons, after discovering that there is no way to buy supplies with a US knife, their first thought is most likely to grab a gun.

This situation will inevitably lead to intensified chaos, and then enter a vicious circle.

The whole world was stunned by America's self-destruction.

But then the undercurrent surged.

Although the Homo sapiens company is the big brother of the earth, the Homo sapiens company does not belong to the free world, so the major forces are still very concerned about the fall of America, the leader of the free world.

……

East Ying.

Inside the Yokosuka base.

"General Patton, what do you think?" Shigeaki Koizumi tentatively squinted his eyes.

As the person in charge of the Seventh Fleet, Patton is naturally aware of the opponent's thoughts. If it was the past, he would definitely not give this white-eyed wolf a good face, and even ask the black ship to give him warmth tomorrow.

But now he is silent.

The chaos in America, the collapse of the military-industrial complex and the Wall Street financial group, and the increasingly tight funding made the Seventh Fleet very uncomfortable.

The more modern the army, the more serious its dependence on logistics and industry.

The Seventh Fleet is very powerful. It can directly crush Japan and South Korea in Northeast Asia. The problem is that their ability to burn money and devour resources is also very powerful.

Once the mainland of America cannot return to normal within half a year, the logistics of the Seventh Fleet will have major problems.

This is also the reason why Koizumi Shigeaki dared to come over to test.

Because Japan has already taken over the Seventh Fleet, no matter how powerful it is, the key is that the Seventh Fleet is about to become impotent and has no ability to self-generate blood. Once the ammunition is exhausted, the aircraft carrier and battleship will be like iron coffins floating on the sea.

Dongpu has secretly united with South Korea and is ready to fight hard. If they hadn't taken into account the nuclear bombs of the Seventh Fleet, they would not be so polite.

Of course, Dongying and South Koryo are also very self-aware at this time. Their intention to win the Seventh Fleet is not for self-reliance, but to get a certificate of honor so that they can find their own father to hug their thighs.

After all, in the current international situation, Dongpu and South Koryo have no confidence to enclose themselves.

There is no way to be self-sufficient in food and energy, so what kind of land can we use to grow up?By mouth?

And there are only two paths ahead.

The first way, of course, is to take refuge in Homo sapiens company. The problem is that Homo sapiens company does not accept chaebols and scumbags, which is unacceptable to the management of Dongying.

The second way is to find a new father to hug his thigh. After all, my father’s current industrial chain is the most complete, and the agricultural area in the south is also maintained well. A large number of greenhouses and nuclear power plants have been built in the north. The resources are still available in Central Asia and Xianbelia. develop.

So they choose to kiss daddy's thigh.

Button was silent for a few minutes: "What's your condition?"

"We will receive all the equipment of the Seventh Fleet, arrange for you to work, and guarantee your treatment. Of course, if you are willing to return to North America, we can agree to issue air tickets." Shigeaki Koizumi replied with a smile.

Barton's eyes flashed with anger: "Do you think I'm a fool?"

If he agrees to this condition, once he gives up his weapon, it is estimated that Dongying will turn his face and deny anyone in the next second.

"It doesn't matter, General Patton can think about it slowly." Shigeaki Koizumi showed an expression of indifference to me, and then he reminded:
