My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!

Chapter 223: Chapter 173 Humanity, Never Surrender!

Having analyzed his own life, Meng Lang opened the book and continued to read on.

After all, what comes next is the main event.

[For a time, I doubted whether everything he spoke of was merely my own fantasy.

If we all are "characters in a book".

If there really is another you, silently observing this world...

Although it was hard to believe, I still followed his plan on July 21, 2043, carrying heavy and light packages alike, taking Xiao Yu with me into a secret shelter hidden beneath a villa.

The shelter was not large, barely a dozen square meters, but it was equipped with a comprehensive surveillance system, which allowed constant observation of the surface above.

Here, there was enough stored food for two months, backup generators, and satellite signal receivers...

The preparations were quite thorough.

At noon on that very day, 13:00.

Through television media, we saw the dazzling meteor streaking across the atmosphere...

Not long after, the sonar detector in the shelter began swinging wildly, and at the same time, the scenery in the surveillance footage started to transform...

Xiao Yu and I couldn’t believe our eyes.

What he said turned out to be true!

First, it was the elderly who mutated, wildly attacking those around them.

Chasing, tearing, blood became the world’s new key...

We spent an entire day getting used to it, accustoming ourselves not to vomit at the sight of such scenes.

Xiao Yu documented the so-called "melody of death," using the limited information to conduct research.

While I searched the net for useful, or shall I say... despairing information.

After the outbreak of the disaster, almost every city in the world plunged into flames in an instant.

Most of the Mutants were elderly, and after mutation, they possessed speed and strength far beyond normal humans, almost comparable to athletes.

Luckily, though this madman disease looked like Zombies from the movies.

Even those young people who were bitten did not mutate immediately.

This significantly reduced its harm and offered humanity a glimmer of hope to overcome the disaster.

Only after three hours since the outbreak did the army start to thrash the internal Mutants, commencing an organized counterattack.

Cities with nearby stationed troops were undoubtedly fortunate.

The sound of guns began to echo everywhere, missiles and planes flew over the cities, incendiary bombs incinerating the bloodthirsty Mutants...

Thanks to the widespread deployment of 6G satellite networks, the global internet signals had not yet been greatly affected.

We also had to thank the almost omnipresent live streaming culture, which allowed us to glimpse the tip of the iceberg of this disaster through the perspectives of survivors from around the world.

Humanity was caught off guard by the suddenness of the mutation, with countless dying miserably, and the lucky survivors could only secure their doors and windows.

They stared with wide eyes at the hellish scenes outside their windows, shivering in corners...

According to official data.

At the onset of the disaster, nearly a quarter of the population mutated instantly.

Without any defense, the human population lost more than half in an instant!

Worse still, the leadership of various countries was almost completely wiped out in this sudden disaster, dealing a heavy blow to the human elite!

Many countries fell into complete chaos before they could even organize a counterattack against the Mutants.

Certain small nations lacking in tightly organized military forces were declared extinct at the onset of the disaster.

This made resistance efforts around the globe even more disorganized and desperate.

The whole world erupted in gunfire!

It wasn’t until the 10th hour after the disaster that the interim leaders of major countries started delivering emergency speeches over the internet.

Besides expressing deep sorrow for the disaster, they also emphasized confidence in the military’s ability to overcome the disaster, and if necessary, would deploy nuclear weapons to eliminate the Mutants.

But others said that the sudden crisis gave no time for governments to transition power.

The nuclear buttons were mostly inoperative, and such declarations were made only to maintain the last vestiges of human morale from collapsing...

Meanwhile, the interim leaders urged survivors worldwide to gather at various temporary shelters established.

However, even as military forces began to organize and fight back, the number of images seen over the net was dwindling.

Mutants, apart from their hearts and brains, were hard to kill with gunshots to other parts and would still lurch toward ordinary people with hobbled bodies.

In addition, they had poor vision, but exceedingly sharp hearing.

There was a survivor who was broadcasting live, who was attacked by hundreds of Mutants just because he couldn’t help sneezing.

This worsened the living conditions for the survivors even more.

We could only watch as one tragedy after another unfolded before our eyes.

Some were touching, others were tragic, or just silently dark...

Under such harsh conditions, many chose to end their lives.

We were powerless to change anything because outside the villa, Mutants bereft of reason roamed everywhere.

As a small mountain village primarily of the elderly, virtually without the strength of young laborers, Meng Family Village could neither mount a large-scale resistance nor receive immediate military rescue.

Relying on the strength of just Xiao Yu and me, escaping here was a fool’s dream.

We were left with only two options.

Either wait for the military to clear all the Mutants and arrive here for the rescue or be trapped here to die after the supplies ran out.
