Disaster Simulator, global collapse begins.

Inside the White House, Trump suddenly had a brilliant idea.

"If I were to nuke that Crystal Island right now, would we be the only ones in the world with that technology?"

Fortunately, a modern nation is not a place where one person's voice dictates everything.

The think tank persuaded the man to go back, but he had already put his nuclear bomb briefcase on the table and even took a picture and posted it on Twitter.

……

Immediately afterwards, the ships of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council—the Suzaku, the Russian, the French, the British, and the UN Security Council—arrived one by one.

With them at the core, research ships from other countries were pieced together on the outside... Chen Jie never expected that there would be so many rules and regulations governing the arrangement of these people when they were building an island.

Currently, although it is called a United International Organization, each country still operates independently.

It will take a long time to adjust...

But do they really have that much time left?

Then, the protective umbrella dropped another bombshell!

A strange set of remains—which is actually the living remains of the prophet.

Chen Jie wanted to give himself a thumbs up for his clever idea. On the one hand, this joint research project would accelerate the integration of experts from different countries and get them into working mode quickly.

On the other hand, having so many talented people from all countries and industries help him research Originium, and the fact that Originium is likely related to the spiritual realm, means that research on Originium could allow humanity to achieve a breakthrough in this area.

Three birds with one stone!

Most importantly, Chen Jie doesn't have to pay these experts' salaries.

First, let's look at the appearance.

The prophet's undead body resembled a pool of flowing, light black, translucent viscous fluid, similar in translucency and color to pure Originium.

This fluidity does not mean it is soft; on the contrary, it is extremely tough and hard, and existing technology cannot cut it. Even if Chen Jie took out a laser sword, he could not cut it.

Simply put, you can flatten and roll it into a ball, but you can't cut off even a single piece or drop.

It possesses both softness and hardness, much like a slime from a fantasy creature (with extremely high defense stats).

Various countries have provided death row inmates as Class D personnel.

The D-class personnel, who had been staring at the living corpses for a long time, began to hallucinate, as if they saw many humans with animal ears.

Subsequently, D-class personnel were arranged to drink the entire living corpse.

Chapter 166 SDRRD Database

SDRRD database

Note: This is currently being developed and refined. Due to the limited number of existing researchable objects and data, all classifications are temporary.

S001: The Living Remains of the Prophet

Note: This name was given by Chen Jie, the leader of the Umbrella Corporation. According to him, "Prophet" is the codename for this eerie entity, possessing abilities including prophecy, manipulating meteorites, storms, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and other large-scale disasters. It can also induce biological mutations and manipulate changes in matter at the atomic nucleus level.

Unsigned comment 0001: To be honest, if this prophet was really that powerful, I really can't imagine how Umbrella could have defeated him.

0002: Speculation suggests it might possess the same power as global celestial phenomena and the appearance of the Crystal Castle.

0003: I saw a girl in headquarters. She had long white hair with a hint of pink, and she could fly. At first, I thought I saw a ghost, but that's not the point. The point is that she seemed to be able to control this crystal.

Appearance: Omitted

Current technology cannot cut or destroy it.

Observational Experiment 1: Through testing on nearly one hundred D-level personnel, the following patterns were obtained.

The observer remains unchanged for 30 minutes; this timeframe varies depending on the observer's level of concentration.

Between 30 and 60 minutes, observers will witness several scenes and profile them based on their descriptions. These scenes often share the following characteristics: a gloomy sky, city ruins, demi-humans dressed in metal and plastic clothing, and tribal life with extremely low levels of civilization.

Unsigned comment 0004: If these are scenes from the apocalypse... then how did humans transform into these demi-humans?

After focusing their attention on the living corpse for more than 60 minutes, all the experimenters felt fear. They felt that the liquid had come alive and was about to devour them. Their bodies would burst with tremendous strength, their muscle restraints would be released, and they would rather break their own bones than continue staring at it.

A muscle relaxant was injected, and the subject's eyes were opened with an eyelid speculum. The live remains were placed in a transparent container and held tightly against the subject's eyes. Only by doing this could the observation experiment continue.

After the forced gaze lasted for more than fifteen breaths (note that this was the time for everyone), the participants fell into a deep sleep.

If not actively awakened, this deep sleep can last 5-37 hours.

Upon waking, these individuals' personalities had changed to varying degrees. According to their descriptions, they had lived a long and complete life as demi-humans in that post-apocalyptic wasteland. It can be inferred that the duration of deep sleep was positively correlated with the length of their demi-human lifespan.

Even if one is killed, it only means waking up from a dream and will not cause any physical harm (Note: there is one exception).

S001-1: After more than 30 hours of deep sleep, the entire brain suddenly explodes.

Repeat the observation process with those who have emerged from deep sleep. They will return to the first step, and after 30 minutes, there will be no change, showing no difference from the initial contact.

An autopsy was performed on a Class D individual who had completed a round of deep sleep (see the autopsy report for details). The conclusion was that all organs, including the brain, showed no physiological difference from those of an average person.

The experiment will continue, and the subjects will undergo multiple rounds of deep sleep observation.

Unsigned comment 0005: I have never conducted such an audacious experiment before. Countries all over the world are sending death row inmates here, without even caring about some past moral and ethical constraints.

0006: If my experiments had had such strong support in the past, I believe the progress would have been much faster than before.

0007: At first, I felt some moral condemnation, but then I thought about it and realized that we were venturing into a completely new field. Necessary sacrifices, letting these scumbags shine again for the development of human society, weren't so bad.

0008: Same as above

0009: Cherish the present. There will be fewer and fewer death row inmates as D-level personnel, and there will be more and more bizarre experimental projects in the future. At least it will be impossible to conduct experiments as lavishly as we are now (I think you are wasting your time).

Ingestion experiment: D-class personnel swallowed the entire living corpse.

0010: To be honest, I feel this kind of experiment is a bit stupid.

The living skeleton had a volume of approximately 17 liters and a mass of 58 kg; something of that density would kill a person if swallowed.

Because the living remains were an indivisible whole, we witnessed such a spectacle: before the contents were fully poured into the mouth, they were already being excreted.

0011: This is probably the best enema product.

0012: A reminder to the person above: Once the database is complete, all anonymous posts will be replaced with the user's real name. Please be careful when posting.

0013: Oh sit, why doesn't this damn software have a function to delete past posts?

After the ingestion experiment, the weight of the living remains decreased by 0.003g. Since the living remains are not soluble in water, the lost mass must have been absorbed by the experimental subject.

I never expected that this impromptu experiment would actually work. The next step is to repeat it on different individuals, or to extend the time a living remains are kept in the stomach and intestines of a single individual.

All subjects who underwent the swallowing experiment exhibited a period of high energy levels, sometimes lasting one or even several days, and insomnia.

Initially, Hai suspected that the experimental process had affected the subjects' mental state, leading to hyperactivity. Subsequent studies, including anatomical experiments, compared the brains of some subjects with those of people who had stayed up for several days.

It can be observed that, despite staying up for the same amount of time, the experimental subjects' brains did not exhibit the various problems seen in people who have not slept for extended periods.

The loss of living remains did, to some extent, replenish the damage and depletion caused by staying up all night.

Or rather, it replenished their spirit!

Transformation Experiment 1: Living remains and humans living together in the same room

No mutation occurred

Transformation Experiment 2: Animal Experiment

Imaging results showed that the animal's internal organs had blurred outlines, and as the time spent in the same chamber with the live carcass increased, obvious shadows appeared inside the body until they grew to the surface.

Crystalline particles are visible within the circulatory system, and some internal organs are gradually being replaced by crystals. Shockingly, even as these organic minerals fuse with cells and replace parts of the organs, these animals continue to live in a way we cannot comprehend.

At this stage of the experiment, the researchers from the protective umbrella arrived, saying that this infection could be called Oreosis, and they presented a large amount of experimental data.

0014: We don't know where their data came from, but they have indeed been ahead of us in the research on mineral defects.

0015: The protective umbrella still hides many secrets from us, such as how nanomachines are made; they haven't made them public.

Transformation Experiment 3: Plants and microorganisms are not affected by mineralization disease.

Based on the data and gene samples provided by the protective umbrella, we began human transformation experiments.

I feel like we're marching headlong into something forbidden.

Chapter 167 Originium can kill strangely!

Time is like a haughty young lady.

For those who yearn for it, time is never enough. But for those who hate it and feel that every minute and every second is tormenting them, such as the miserable working class, time always entangles them, making them feel that each day is an eternity.

Whether you crave it or hate it, it always flows forward relentlessly, like the rolling river flowing eastward.

High seas, SDRRD headquarters.

Nearly three months had passed, and for many, they were still getting used to the steel island and their new colleagues. The research was just getting on track when the eerie was about to begin.

Everyone was on high alert.

Recently, headquarters started distributing a kind of "rational extract" that makes you feel energetic after drinking it. It's a bit like fine sand mixed with water, with added mint and mustard.

However, the effect is really good, much more effective than any strong coffee. Just a small sip can keep you energized for hours, which is a real blessing for students and those who work overtime.

It is said that it is very expensive to produce and cannot be mass-produced for the time being.

A bizarre resurgence has begun!

The Federation was in darkness at this time, and the first wave of crisis descended with tremendous force. Monsters emerged from the darkness and attacked all those who were not in the light.

Fortunately, this monster doesn't like to kill with one blow, but has a certain custom of torturing its prey, and when people are attacked, they usually want to turn on the lights or pick up a gun.

Regardless of the type, light is the simplest way to ward off this monster.

Tonight, the entire Federation is engulfed in gunfire, a deafening roar that surpasses even the Chinese New Year celebrations in China.

Subsequent statistics showed that 10% of the people died that night.

S002: The Stranger Without Light

Coverage: Global

Attack pattern: This monster will attack humans when they are within a 1-meter radius of a light source with an intensity higher than 1 candela.

This definition is very strict; even light sources that have been reflected multiple times are considered, meaning that you basically don't need to worry about being attacked while under moonlight.

Note that the Dark Monster can also appear during the day, if you are in a dark environment.

Appearance: No data available

It only appears in complete darkness, where you can't see your hand in front of your face. It doesn't emit heat or other volatile signals, and even D-level personnel couldn't see this monster through special night vision cameras.

Capture attempt: Failed

They blocked its path with lights, but when the last area was illuminated, the monster vanished into thin air.

The Federation suffered heavy losses, while Eurasia, which was still in daylight, was much luckier.

The number of reports filed by ordinary people has surged.

Through big data monitoring, a bizarre case was indeed discovered and screened. The government dispatched a special force that had been prepared in advance, and each member was a martial arts genius selected from among thousands.

With the unlimited supply of Honkai energy crystals provided by SDRRD on Chen Jie's side, these geniuses reached the average level of C-grade in just three months.

What's encouraging is that these low-level anomalies can be eliminated with bullets and artillery fire!

A certain number of samples were captured, and a reminder was issued that a light source must be kept nearby at night.

On the federal side, Trump launched a scathing attack on the SDRRD on Twitter, saying that their cover-up of information led to the deaths of so many federal citizens.

At first, Chen Jie and his associates did nothing.

But public opinion began to ferment, and some federal experts started to go on strike—they also felt that the protective umbrella was hiding a lot of things from them during their research.

Especially when studying the living remains of the Prophet, every time they finally made some progress, Umbrella would immediately provide even more comprehensive information.

So you're using us as a replication control group?

Chen Jie had no choice but to step forward and issue an apology and refute the rumors.

Their actions have indeed caused many misunderstandings. In fact, due to the influence of time travel and the butterfly effect, many strange forces and properties have undergone tremendous changes.

At this point, empiricism is absolutely unacceptable. The experience of the previous world will not only not be helpful, but will actually harm people!

Furthermore, they hadn't expected such a powerful enemy to appear right at the start of this bizarre resurgence.
