The Beginning: Simulating the Apocalypse-Chapter 39

Chapter 39: Martial Practitioners Nationwide!

When Jiang Yi, after a long absence, stepped out of his house to purchase sufficient food for himself, he could clearly perceive, or rather, directly see ordinary people starting to discuss the evolutionary virus. They realized the fact that this world was no longer ordinary.

Those who kept pets at home would find their pets becoming larger and more ferocious.

Even people who lived alone would find their bodies inexplicably becoming stronger, all due to the stimulation of the evolutionary virus.

For a moment, in reality, on social networking platforms, and in the comment sections of various video websites, every corner was filled with discussions about the evolutionary virus and martial practitioners.

“I never expected that the evolutionary virus would quietly descend like this. I thought we were going to experience a meteorite impact.”

“Well, it’s for the best. After all, we’re all just ordinary people. If we were hit directly by a meteorite, there would be no chance of survival.”

“Humph! My fate is in my hands, not in the hands of heaven. Life and death are only a fine line apart! I’m quitting my job today and focusing on practicing body tempering techniques, striving to become a martial practitioner recruited by the country as soon as possible!”

“Ah, but… even though what you’re saying sounds incredible, I still have a hard time believing it. A video is just a video, how could its contents become reality?”

Some people believed in the appearance of the evolutionary virus, while others didn’t.

After all, such things were too unbelievable.

However, soon enough, someone posted relevant evidence to prove that what they were saying was not false, and that martial practitioners and fierce beasts were indeed real!

It was two very simple photos.

One showed the military closing off all forested areas and setting up artillery fortifications at the outer perimeter, seeming to be on alert for something.

The other showed a blurry photo of a young man wielding a war knife, locked in combat with a fierce beast.

The photography skills were very ordinary, even lackluster, but they caused a storm on the internet worldwide, leaving countless people with shocked expressions and blank minds.

More accurately, they were frightened by the contents of the second photo.

“What the heck! What’s going on! Is this person, Huang, really existing in the real world?!”

“Heh, of course he does, and judging from the content of this photo, it seems that Huang in the real world has become a martial practitioner, and who knows, he might be somewhere right now, defending against the invasion of fierce beasts along with the military.”

“Looking at the backgrounds of these two photos… oh my god, why does it look so much like my hometown? I used to play in those forests when I was a child. My mom called me recently and said that everyone in our family was sent by the military to the city, and the entire countryside was completely sealed off. Could it be because the authorities want to eliminate the fierce beasts inside?!”

“Hey! Brother upstairs, let’s chat privately. Tell me where your hometown is. It’s not that I don’t believe you, I just want to broaden my horizons!”

“+10086!”

The online discussions were in full swing, and in reality, governments around the world were equally busy.

The onslaught of the evolutionary virus was more intense than they had imagined.

Although there hadn’t been any powerful beasts capable of tearing through tank armor or shooting down fighter jets on a global scale yet, there were already beings capable of swatting cars with a single paw appearing.

To deal with these superhuman entities, the armed forces of various countries were fully armed, suppressing the rural and forested areas of their own countries with all their might.

Although Summer Country had the presence of Huang and had also publicly disclosed the existence of martial arts training techniques to society and created quite a few quasi-martial practitioners, casualties were inevitable in the process of combating and killing fierce beasts due to its size and population.

Imperial City of Summer Country, Tianlong Pavilion.

“Commander, I’m sorry. Despite knowing in advance that disaster would strike, there have still been so many casualties.”

“No, it’s not your fault.” The old man shook his head, sitting in his chair with an expression of helplessness.

In front of him, a middle-aged military officer looked full of guilt, his face turning red with shame.

“The virus came too quickly. Even though the observer informed us in advance through the viewer network, it was difficult for us to take action in a short period of time” the old man said calmly, as if everything was being orchestrated behind the scenes.

“Inform everyone. Starting today, implement a comprehensive reform of the national system. Follow the improvements practiced in Summer Country as depicted in the video clips, as that is another truth practiced in a parallel timeline and the most suitable path for us.

“At the same time, suspend all research in the biological field domestically and let those scientists study the evolutionary virus to strive for the early development of gene serum.

“All carcasses of fierce beasts, except for a small portion given to martial practitioners for consumption, shall be supplied to research institutes!”

“Yes, Commander!” The middle-aged officer nodded solemnly.

He understood the significance of the orders given by the old man. After all, the existence of gene medicines was too important.

Anyone who took gene serums, regardless of their aptitude, would at least become a martial practitioner, a powerful individual capable of fighting head-on with evolutionary beasts.

Not only in terms of physical fitness, but even in the realm of spirit and lifespan, there would be improvements.

It could be said that whichever country first researched gene medicines would become the leader of the new era, firmly occupying a dominant position.

So, why would Summer Country have any reason not to research it?

Soon, the old man’s orders were disseminated to every corner of Summer Country, and various departments operated efficiently, issuing one notice after another, announcing the new rules and regulations tacitly approved by the old man.

The national momentum roared and roared, irreversible, only allowing for the flow.

A unprecedented upheaval swept across Summer Country, causing a sensation at home and abroad.

“From today onwards, the Martial Practitioners Administration Department is officially established. All citizens who have practiced body tempering techniques to the proficient level and meet the physical fitness standards may register as martial practitioners at their local government agencies.

“The firearm restrictions on all law enforcement departments of Summer Country are lifted. During patrol, firearms are allowed to be carried to ensure the safety of Summer Country’s citizens during their travels.

“The Ministry of Education will modify the primary subjects of study, with the main subjects now being language, mathematics, and martial arts. If students become martial practitioners before the college entrance examination, they can be exempted from the examination and directly enrolled in higher education institutions.”

Notice after notice was issued, each one enough to cause a sensation on a normal day.

However, they were all issued today.

Like a carnival feast.
