An Outsider

The Dark Decade

The terrible catastrophe changed the Earth's environment, with oxygen getting thinner every year, massive particulate matter floating in the air, an exponential rise in sulfides, and ubiquitous radiation that would not dissipate for many years. Humans, even if they were not preyed upon by the Earth Pulse insects, died in large numbers because of these harsh conditions.

　　Why exactly the division of camps to this point, Lucio really does not understand. He only vaguely understood that it was probably to be able to strengthen the rule of all the people of the Federation. But now his priority is to survive, he is new to the world, do not know anything, these things are too far away from his, do not think so much first.

　　In other words, Lucio is now under constant monitoring of the "Gabord System". The bracelet on his wrist is actually the ID terminal of every citizen, equivalent to the sum of the former smartphone, IC card, ID card, driver's license, social security card and a series of other things. Without this ID terminal, one cannot survive in the Federation. Since he is a soldier, his ID has been changed to military ID since he joined the army, which is not the same as the civilian ID. But the basic functions are similar, one of the most critical is the automatic scanning of physical and mental conditions every 5 seconds, real-time monitoring of physical health and camp affiliation.

　　First - the rise of women. As mentioned earlier, the new human evolution paid the price of a significant decline in fertility and reproductive capacity. This was manifested in the form of male sperm deactivation, female ovarian degeneration and uterine menopause. Such a situation intensified until 69 years of the new calendar, the last natural birth of human babies were born, and all children born after that were artificially bred new human beings. Women had a huge head start in the evolution, because of the disappearance of fertility, women no longer suffer from menstruation, nor the burden of pregnancy, the pain of childbirth, coupled with a substantial increase in physical ability, has been compared with men, no difference, and thus the status of women has changed radically. The army began to recruit a large number of women, mixed with men, so that also makes the army more and more powerful fighting force. That's why Lucio saw the strange sight of troops with both men and women, and with all races.

　　The 74 years between 2038 and 2112 of the old calendar, which people habitually call "the hundred years of resistance", until today, in September of the new calendar year, the World Federal Republic has been founded 119 years. During these 119 years, a lot of things happened, and for a while, Lucio could not understand all of them clearly. But there are two points that interested his very much and read carefully.

　　The next mission information is no different from what he previously understood, they three squadrons from Athena's City, to the human currently the largest outfield military research base - Confidential One, responsible for transporting a batch of newly researched classified military supplies back to Athena's City. They met with an accident on the way back, and the munitions were not lost, but the team got separated. The Griffin Outfield Base Station is located one hundred and forty kilometers southeast of Classified Area 1, and the team currently stationed here is the Right Wing Sub Squadron of the 3rd Squadron led by Lieutenant Crawford. separated. They had a chance encounter with Lieutenant Crawford and were stationed together into Griffin Base Station for repairs.

　　He was really hungry and finished his lunch in three sittings. When the nurse neatly collected the plates and left, he got out of bed, put on his camouflage uniform, put on his army boots and prepared to go to the south bunker to look for Lieutenant Crawford.

　　The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.

　　He had three more unread emails in his inbox, and when he clicked on them, Lucio saw that the first one was from his top lieutenant, Lt. Javier Dotson, the squadron commander of the Left Wing Sub Squadron, and that the content of the email was simple, asking about his situation. The second email came from Second Lieutenant Atticus Joseph, the squadron adjutant of the Left Wing Sub Squadron. Atticus Joseph's file were equal, and the two were Javier's right-hand men. The content of the email is also asking how he is doing, and judging from the tone of his email, he seems to have a very good relationship with himself.

　　His name was Beckham Freeman, a man of German descent who was the only Grand Marshal in the history of the Federation, the greatest leader, and the leader of the Hundred Years' Struggle. He united all the surviving humans and established the seven city-states, which are now the home of humanity.

　　In this horrible world where there are threats everywhere, the small part of human beings who survived the brutal elimination of the best, began to change. Physical quality to produce a qualitative leap, the ability to survive greatly enhanced, this is the evolution of the new human. Although there is no exaggerated special ability in those science fiction novels, but the new human really happened not a small change. In addition to the substantial improvement in physical quality, intellectual thinking progress, the most significant evolutionary feature is the ability to reproduce and reproduce a substantial weakening. This may not be said to be evolution, but only natural transformation, what is gained, what is lost, the world is always in the conservation.

　　When Lucio saw this entry, he almost jumped up and screamed. The great gloom that had suppressed his for more than ten years had dissipated because of coming into this world. He, as a Les, simply had to kneel down and worship the heavens with gratitude. Sure enough, what heaven makes you lose, it will inevitably give you, it is fair.

Humans initially thought that the war destroyed the world, but after the devastating disaster, the surviving humans suddenly discovered that the violent movement of the earth's crust turned out to be premeditated, and that humans had merely advanced the process themselves. In the cracked Grand Canyon, in the eruption of volcanoes, in the extrusion of the birth of a new mountain, began to appear a huge number of horrible monsters, they are extremely ugly, most of them have close to the appearance of insects, but not any kind of insects known to man. People call them "Vegort Insects".

　　If he looks at his "friends", it seems that he is the only one who has this special treatment, the rest of them are eating bread and soup.

　　"Lucio, it's almost one o'clock, it's time for you to have lunch."

　　But after a brief moment of excitement, the second point that followed made his a little uneasy.

　　With his left arm still dangling and vaguely painful, he hit the curtain to go out and was drawn to the sight before his.

　　Previously, Vegort had briefly mentioned in the debriefing of the earth pulse insects, Lucio then failed to understand what it is, now understand that it is a threat to human survival environment of the terrible alien. They have the ability to fly, burrowing ability, diving ability, almost everywhere, they are huge, brutal murderer, to hunt humans for food, and the human body as a breeding ground to hatch the next generation.

　　This system has been in use since the 30th year of the New Calendar, more than 100 years ago. When it was first put into use, it mainly took the form of implantation, in which a port carrying a biochip was implanted in the back of the human neck, approximately under the cerebellum, so that the brain waves were monitored by the chip detection, and through a series of complex calculations, the camp division of each person was derived. With the continuous improvement of technology and the emergence of artificially reproduced new human beings, the implantation method has changed into a genetic innate synthesis method, and now all new human beings, at the beginning of conception, the brain development process is controlled by the "Gobord System".

　　The current military strength of the entire Federation is around 2.1 million, and this participation rate is extremely high in a Federation with a total population of 300 million. One out of every 132 people is a soldier. These 2.1 million soldiers are divided into three major groups, namely the Central Army, the Southeast Army and the Western Army. These three major groups are mixed by various types of soldiers and are the strongest combat groups. The Western Army Mecha Infantry Division to which Lucio belongs, stationed in the City of Athena all year round, is the ace division of the elite army. Half of the entire Western Group is under the command of Diego Robles, the "General of the Seven Mans", and the Army Mecha Infantry Division is one of them.

　　Not only that, citizens are also required to go to the "camping assessment offices" set up by the Federation in the major urban areas for accurate pupil scanning, which is equivalent to a mandatory periodic medical examination to ensure that each citizen's camping is accurate.

　　The contents of the third email, however, stumped his. This one was from Lieutenant Crawford, telling his to meet his at the south bunker of Griffin Base Station when he was feeling better.

　　Before he could even think about it, the nurse who came with his appeared at his bedside, placed a tray full of lunch in front of his, and said kindly and half-threateningly.

　　In the 22-year of the new calendar, the Constitution of the World Federal Republic and the five other basic laws were promulgated, which officially established the rule of the Federal Government. In the same year, Rudolf Andrés was awarded the titles of "Father of the Federation" and "Honorary Grand Marshal".

　　After learning the basic information about this world, he checked the troop information and mission information. The troop information contained a detailed establishment system, which allowed his to figure out the composition structure of the troops. Although it was different from the USA military system, it was not much different.

　　This scan is senseless and does not affect the normal activities of the body. There is no need to scan the pupils, it is a scan initiated by the nerve impulses of the wrist to the whole body, not as accurate as the pupil scan, but not too far off. id is waterproof, heat insulating, wear-resistant, and impact resistant, once worn, it cannot be easily removed, approval must be obtained and it can only be removed under the surveillance of public officials, if not, five seconds of failure to detect the citizen, the citizen will be expelled from the Gobord system and erased from the social level. In such a post-apocalyptic world, it is equivalent to being dead.

　　Previously, he saw a column like "camp" in his personal information and put it aside for a while because he was puzzled. Now, after checking the information, he realized that there is a system called "Gobord System" in this world, which is specially used to divide the nine camps for all citizens of the Federation. This system is huge, complex, sophisticated to the extreme, is initiated by Marshal Rudolph, a group of computer masters, program experts, psychologists, neurologists, led by the chief scientist of the Federal Academy of Sciences Sherlock, spent more than ten years to create the personality monitoring system.

　　In order to preserve the only remaining spark of humanity, great leaders began to step forward and take the path of uniting all of humanity. The decade of 2038-2048 is known as the Dark Decade, during which human history was interrupted. 2036 was the year after which human activities were finally recorded. Until 2082, these fifty years, the major human forces are in a state of fragmentation, each in their own way. During these fifty years, the birth of a great man prompted all of humanity to embark on the path of union.

　　This world is a world where men and women are truly equal from the origin. This surprised Lucio and made his extremely happy. What makes his happy is not only this, because of the degradation of human reproductive capacity, the unbreakable pattern of male and female union reproduction has been broken from the origin. This world is a world where marriage is extremely free, where there is no such thing as heterosexuality or homosexuality, let alone discrimination. Both men and women, male and female, are free to marry. Of course, there are still basic ethics, marriage between close family members within three generations is not allowed.

　　One of the first city-states to be completed was the City of Athena, and the completion of its walls marked the beginning of the new human calendar. The year was 2099, the year of the old calendar and the first year of the new calendar.

　　Finally, under the dual action of radiation and insects, another kind of terrible monster was born, they are a mixture of human and vein insects, both human and vein insects characteristics, hunting and horror, low intelligence, more murderous than the vein insects, with strong aggression. The humans named them "predators" and graded them in terms of danger. The big, ugly, human-like, spider-like creature that Rogue and he met earlier was a first-class predator, the highest level of predators.

　　In the 18th year of the new calendar, the World Federal Republic was officially established with the completion of all the walls of the seven city-states.

　　The hustle and bustle of the scene came, a large gravel-paved open space, many green military tents, his tent is also one of them, as far as the eye can see, there can be dozens of them, neatly arranged in two rows, the center of the empty a spacious channel. At this moment, many soldiers are weaving in and out of the open space, most of them are uninjured soldiers, some in twos and threes seemingly scattered, others in groups of ten, in a neat procession, marching at a regular pace, with officers shouting orders from the side.
