The Bodyguard System

For the first day when the large group of people that have been affected after being exposed to the rain were taken to the hospital, nothing could be found about them that was completely unusual.

The doctors In all parts of the world struggled, trying to find the reason why the patients that have been brought to the hospital were unconscious. But no matter how much they tried, they could not find the reason.

They even went to the extent of gathering a sample of the rainwater, and tried to carry out research on it. But they found that the components of the rain were not anything that they had ever experienced before.

That implied that it was true that this group of people that have been brought to the hospital were affected by the rain. But they were not sure about what component of the rain had really affected them, leading to them being unconscious.

Several scientists that had been in charge of different things were immediately asked to stop the projects that they were currently dealing with, and focus on the current one.

Even though the scientists were not happy with being asked to leave the project that they were currently doing, they also felt that they could experience a different challenge for the time being. So, they all began doing research on the very first day on the rain.

On the other hand, the leaders all over the world had yet another meeting. Since they could not meet physically on a short notice, and considering that the rain was still relentless outside, they had a conference video call.

"What do you guys think? Do you have any idea about the rain out there? Maybe the cause or a way of stopping the rain?"

"I think you are asking the wrong people here. Here, we are not scientists. So, how are we supposed to know about the components of the rain? All that we can do is making guesses, but even our scientists who are experienced cannot figure out what is going on."

"That's right. Even our meteorologists can no longer study the weather patterns and predict the weather tomorrow. Everything is completely messed up."

"Why don't we just observe the situation for the next few days first. We don't know how long this rain is going to persist, and we don't know if what has happened is going to lead to positive results or negative.

The best thing that we can do at the moment is to ensure that our citizens do not expose themselves to the rain. Then, we will see what will happen to those that have already been exposed to the rain, and see what we can do next."

"That's a good idea. But still, what is the rain persists for several more days? We can decide to have a lockdown, to ensure that all the citizens are not exposed to the rain. But what are they supposed to eat? They cannot just continue staying within their houses without going out to look for food, right?"

"Yeah. If this situation persists for a very long time, then, even the food that we have in stock will definitely not be enough to be able to sustain the entire population of our own nations."

"Why are you complaining? It is not as if you have a solution right now, right? Let's wait for the next few days, trying to see if the scientists can get something out of it. And, it will be even better if this rain has a better effect on us rather than a negative one."

With that, the conference video call ended, and all the leaders in their respective nations immediately took action. Of course, the first one was to make sure that not even a single citizen was going to be exposed to the rain.

Considering the day could not currently understand what was going on, they could not risk the entire population on this planet being wiped out by this rain.

….

The following day, those that had been keeping watch on those that had been exposed to the rain finally began getting results.

They noticed that some form of mutation was happening within the bodies of those people that had been exposed to the rain. They were not sure if that kind of mutation was going to be positive or negative, but they had no other choice but to wait for the next few days while observing.

On the other hand, those people that had not managed to get to the hospital were all kept by their families in their houses. Their family were all worried, not sure about what they were supposed to do.

They could not take those people that have been affected by the rain to the hospital, considering that the rain itself was still relentless for the second day. If they dared to go out there, more people would end up fainting, and that would be a lot more troublesome than having a few people that were currently unconscious.

As for those that were extremely unlucky to be caught by the rain far away from home, some were lucky to be rescued by a few people that were close to where they had fainted. But for others, they remained in the rain, with nobody to care for them.

And on the third day, finally, those people that had lost consciousness from the first day finally began regaining their consciousness. They woke up one after the other, but they all claimed the same thing, they were feeling weak all over.

Considering that the data was being shared all over the world, the situation was observed all over the world as well. So, it was clear that the rain was having the same effect in all parts of the world.

Additionally, after observing the bodies of those people, the doctors and the scientists realized that the mutation had already reached another level. And at this moment, they noticed something.

It seemed that the genes of the people that had been affected by the rain were all being strengthened. And other than that, it seemed that those genes were undergoing mutation, starting to change, looking slightly different from ordinary human genes.

Of course, the doctors and the scientists are gone ahead and extracted blood samples from the patients, but they could not find anything that was of used at the moment.

In any case, they were not really sure if the situation was going to be positive or negative. So, they were not sure about the solution that they were supposed to look for.

Were they supposed to be looking for a solution that was going to save the lives of these people, or something that was going to be used in order to make sure that the positive results exhibited by this group of people was replicated into the bodies of other humans?

Finally, on the 4th day, they got the results that they wanted. According to the observations that they had made, they realized that the mutation was actually positive, considering that the people that were previously weak, had suddenly began getting stronger.

It seemed that their physical strength had been improved by quite a margin, even though it was not to a level that was beyond ordinary humans.

Those people, after they had woken up, they were obviously prohibited from going anywhere. In any case, the rain was still relentless as before, and it did not show any signs of stopping anytime soon.

So, those people have no other choice but to remain within the facilities that they had been taken to after they had lost consciousness. So, observations were being carried out on the changes that were ongoing inside their bodies.

It was on the 5th day that suddenly, chaos suddenly erupted. Within those facilities that were keeping those people that had been exposed to the rain, several explosions suddenly occurred.

Several people were affected, leading to death. As for the cause of the explosion, it was obviously from several of those people that had been affected by the rain.

For some reasons, those people suddenly exploded with strength that was beyond humans capabilities. Others even had abilities that were completely unscientific.

It was not that all those people that were being held within those facilities in order for research to be carried out on them were good people. While others cooperated, others had been forced to stay there.

And when they noticed that they actually seemed to have gotten stronger, they tried to run away from the facilities that they were being kept.

It was just that they had underestimated the strength that they possessed, leading to damage. Several buildings in different parts of the world were destroyed, with many lives being lost.

Even the people that had somehow launched attacks such as fireballs, earth spikes, killing people using telekinesis abilities and so on were also stunned. They had not expected that they were this strong.

While others felt remorseful for killing people that were not involved in them being kept within those facilities, others did not really care. While being exposed to the rain, they could not help but feel that the rain was a blessing to them.

Understanding that the rain was the one that had given them the abilities that they currently possessed, they no longer cared about anything else, and ventured into the streets.

They invaded some of the shops that were currently closed due to the relentless rain and the lockdown by the government, and began stealing. As for those that were in charge of making sure that the lockdown rules were being observed, when they came to deal with this group of people that had escaped, they were actually killed.
