Black Rain Forbidden Zone

In 1943, a mysterious sample from the Siberian permafrost exhibited anomalies in a secret laboratory in Harbin. The experiments continued, the personnel were erased, and a codename appeared for the first time in top-secret files—**Huangquan**. Ninety-one years later, a black rain fell on Lanjiang City. The first to lose control were the ants, then spiders, rats, birds... More and more life forms began to mutate in unknown directions. Environmental microbiologist Gu Chenzhou was accidentally infected during an investigation, and black marks that could not fade appeared on his arm. He gradually discovered that those things turning into "monsters" seemed not to have completely lost their consciousness. As Lanjiang became a forbidden zone, hidden half-century-old experimental files, lurkers, mutated humans, and thirty-seven black rain forbidden zones worldwide surfaced one after another. Conventional weapons gradually became ineffective, and humanity began to manufacture mechs that only the mutated could pilot. Each piloting session brought Gu Chenzhou one step further from being "human." Until all the black rain began to converge on Lanjiang, he realized— What truly awaited humanity was never a disaster. But a world that had been sleeping for millions of years. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Black Rain Forbidden Zone — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
