I was skeptical: "Is it really just a report? I managed to get out of this vortex and didn't want to get involved again." ”

Yan Zhou just smiled lightly: "Since you first joined the scientific research team, you have already been involved." ”

"But, why are you looking for me, there are many people in the same group as you at the beginning, you can look for them!" Although I haven't read his file yet, I know that this is not as simple as a report, and I want to leave immediately.

However, his next words made me finally choose to stay: "Can you escape today, can you escape for a lifetime? There's a real picture of your experiments here, don't you want to know what all these years of research are for?"

I looked at him suspiciously and took the report. Since there is no turning back, there is only one way to go to the dark, even if you die, you have to know what truth is hidden in it.

I opened the folder, and there was a map in it, and a few photos.

On the map, there are several large cities around Manshan City, which can almost be practiced in a straight line. I raised the map in my hand: "What does this mean?"

Yan Zhou took a sip of coffee, pointed to the cities that were fenced, and said, "This is the city that has been earthquaked in the past ten years, there are nine in total, one every year. The city closest to Mangshan City was actually earthquaked three months after last year. ”

I was stunned: "Are you saying that there will be an earthquake in Manshan City next? How is this possible, since it is a natural disaster, how can there be such a law at all?"

Then I understood what he meant: "You mean, there is something else hidden in these earthquakes?"

"That's right, your sister came home three years ago to pick up your mother. It's a pity that your parents have been waiting for you and won't leave. Yan Zhou drank his coffee: "Actually, you should also be able to find that the current Manshan City is already a dead city. Everyone realized the seriousness of the situation, there was no way to suppress this matter, only those who could not leave or could not leave for the time being remained here, and the others had already moved out of Manshan City. ”

Then I remembered that it was not the Chinese New Year, but the streets were deserted, and only those companies were still operating.

I'm still puzzled: "What does this have to do with our research?"

Yan Zhou pointed to the photos behind him: "These are the photos I took in those cities after the earthquake in the past three years, you will understand when you see it." ”

I looked at the first photo suspiciously, and I still remember it vividly, and I swear I've never seen such a shocking scene.

An entire city is completely buried under the ground, and countless high-rise buildings are lined up, but there is not a sky above, but a thick layer of loess.

I immediately understood, "This is not an earthquake, and the building will never remain so intact under an earthquake." ”

Yan Zhou nodded and motioned for me to continue looking.

The second photograph shows a large number of armed military sorties, like a long line of tanks on the street, followed by military vehicles laden with ammunition, and helicopters hovering close to the rooftops.

At this time, there was no shadow of ordinary residents on the streets, only soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition were moving quickly.

The third photograph is a close-up of a dead soldier. The wounds on the corpses were very strange, and I had never seen such a strange wound in the face of so many dead people I had ever come into contact with.

It was like a giant claw that tore the corpse intact from the shoulder to the abdomen. The wound was clearly characterized by a beast attack, but what beast would have such large claws?

Tigers, or lions? No, they couldn't have caused such a large wound, and the real weapon of these beasts was their teeth, not their claws.

I wanted Yan Zhou to cast an inquiring look, but Yan Zhou shrugged his shoulders, not wanting to answer my question.

I had to look at the pictures one by one, and at first it was just all kinds of weird wounds on human bodies, but when I saw it, I saw a huge eagle attacking a helicopter.

The rest of the photos are the wreckage of some tanks. The hard iron armor was full of giant beast scratches.

Until the last photo, it was a huge serpentine creature coiling around an entire skyscraper, and the beast had a freshly bitten helicopter in its mouth!

"How is this possible, this is impossible!" I closed the file: "These photos have been processed, right, you think you are making a blockbuster?"

Yan Zhou's smile gradually disappeared, and he said seriously: "What you see is real. ”

"I don't believe it!" I slapped my hands on the table fiercely, my eyes staring at him: "These photos of yours are full of loopholes, how did such a huge monster appear, and how did it not be discovered?"

"These things are not native creatures of the Burning Sun Star, as for how they appeared, the real reason is still unknown, and the above can only detect where they are about to appear, and set up defenses in those places. Yan Zhou said, and pulled out a set of photos from his mobile phone and put them in front of me: "Seeing this, you will know why I asked you to speed up the research progress." ”

I took his phone to my finger and looked through it, and it was slow at first, but the more I looked at it, the more terrified I became.

In the photo turned out to be a photo of Yan Zhou himself!

To be exact, it's a photo of him fighting those monsters!

The monster half a building high was easily torn in half by him. The claws as big as the shovel of an excavator were broken by him and plunged into the monster's head!

I couldn't believe everything in these photos, and my eyes were fixed on him: "You mean, the person in the photo is you?"

Yan Zhou refilled a cup of coffee to the waiter, took a sip before saying, "If it's fake, do you feel like Superman in the movie?"

I slammed my phone on the table, smiled apologetically when I saw the waiter frowning, and only after the waiter left did I whispered: "I know that the strength of the third-phase test subject is far beyond ordinary people, but it is not as terrifying as you, you are lying to me!"

Yan Zhou didn't answer, I knew it was just my idea of trying to deceive myself. After I completely accepted this fact, Yan Zhou leaned into my ear and said softly:

"You are not the only one who is studying these monsters, many cities have organized scientific research teams. Some are responsible for studying the origin of these monsters, some study the reasons for their enormity and various body data, and some study their social structure.

In addition, there is a special scientific research team responsible for studying the power against these monsters. At that time I was the captain and you were the vice-captain. After I announce my death, you will be in charge of the research. ”

My world fell silent, as if I had to block out all my senses in order to calm down for a moment. After a long time, I looked at him: "This is the purpose of researching genetic drugs, but why, you are missing? You are more familiar with this project, and you should be in charge of the whole project." ”

Yan Zhou smiled: "My death was an accident, not a conspiracy theory, I was really hit by a car and died." That's why you're brought into the lab building and you're in charge of the project. As for why I didn't show up, think about it, what would have happened if I had appeared at that time?"

I understand that he was afraid of being used as a test subject.

After Yan Zhou saw that my mood was slowly calming down, he said: "As for the third phase of the experimental subjects you mentioned, in fact, they are not perfect, although their strength has become very strong, but the primitive beast nature in their bodies has also been amplified many times. It was through countless killings that I slowly mastered how to control this beast nature and mastered the use of more power in the past three years. I call this change the fourth phase. ”

It wasn't until that moment that I understood what we were really doing for what we were really for.

I picked up the first photo: "What's going on, these monsters are tough, but they don't bury the whole city in the ground." ”

Yan Zhou smiled: "It's better that you don't want to know this." ”

"I have to know!" I was disgusted by the feeling of being kept in the dark: "I already know so much, what else can't I know?"

Yan Zhou hesitated for a moment, but still said: "It was our own people who did it, this kind of city construction was in place long before the big bang, just in case." When an unknown force attacks a city, it only needs the consent of the city's military, government, and civilian representatives, and emergency measures will be activated to bury the city in the ground, so that the contents inside are completely isolated from the outside. ”

I don't believe it: "Isn't it a contradiction that if you have such a powerful level of technology, why would you be attacked by these monsters?"

Yan Zhou seemed to have heard a very funny joke and looked at me with some teasing. I was uncomfortable with his eyes, but this feeling of fidgeting, under one of my thoughts, was quickly suppressed.

"You mean, civilization fault?"

Yan Zhou nodded: "After the big bang, there was a fault line in civilization, and what everyone mastered was only one-tenth of the previous technology. Otherwise, if you look at the history of the Burning Sun Star, what great disasters have occurred for thousands of years? What everyone can do now is to try their best to control the disasters in their own cities. ”

I had a very bad feeling: "And why are you here?"

"I've come here for a lot of reasons, and one of them just wants to meet your old friend. Take your family out early, I've already said hello above, you can go. After Yan Zhou finished speaking, he turned around and left: "By the way, don't go to the western suburbs." ”

After separating from Yan Zhou, I returned home in a daze and sent my family out of the city. Yan Zhou's last sentence of not going to the western suburbs can be heard as a sentence in the goodwill relationship of friends, but it has become a lingering obsession in my heart.

Don't go to the western suburbs, is it because those monsters will appear in the western suburbs? But I've been researching genetic potions for so many years, isn't it just to fight these monsters, at this time, how can I go?

Before I knew it, my family had been gone for three months, and on this day, the alarm finally sounded in the city, and all the residents of the city began to evacuate.

Although a large number of citizens had already been evacuated, it was not easy for such a large city to evacuate the remaining innocent people, and a lot of chaos broke out in the process of evacuation. By the fourth day, the highway leading to the outside of the city was still blocked.

When I saw the news, I learned that many cities are evacuating, and residents who had been evacuated to other cities a few years ago have also joined the evacuation journey.

More than a dozen cities, tens of millions of people, are as anxious as if they are facing the end of the world.

I know that the real end of the world is coming......

I want to go out to find my family, but where can I find it?

It wasn't until the evening of the fourth day that the city, which had stood on the earth for thousands of years, finally ushered in its first violent tremor. In just two minutes, the bright light of the sky disappeared and was replaced by a piece of loess with no end in sight.

The things in the photo finally happened in Mangshan City!

All the military forces were sent to the western suburbs, and there was no armed suppression, and the city fell into panic in an instant. Even standing on the streets of the most central part of the city, you can clearly hear the violent roaring and the roar of artillery fire coming from the western suburbs.

As I stood on the top floor of the lab, I could clearly see the countless shells raining down on the long lines of fire that resemble the giant monsters.

On the opposite side, an army composed of hundreds of building-like monsters, tanks under their feet, and planes overhead, constantly engaged in fierce battles. In less than five minutes, countless tanks and planes were destroyed.

But the steel stuck like a nail in the position, preventing the monsters from taking a single step forward.

Ten minutes later, Yan Zhou, who had disappeared for three months, reappeared in front of me, carrying hundreds of experimental subjects behind him, carrying the corpses of those monsters on the front line into the laboratory.

I was amazed that the brutal test subjects were able to obediently listen to his commands. In particular, the third-stage test subject with extremely high intelligence also obediently followed behind him.

"Some parts of these monsters can be made into weapons, and they are more powerful than cannonballs. There will be a scientific research team coming over later, and your task is to make weapons that can kill monsters as quickly as possible, so be fast!"

After saying that, he rushed to the battlefield with hundreds of experimental subjects, and the defense line that was slowly encroached upon in the western suburbs was once again recaptured.

This battle was fought for five days, and the battlefield was controlled in the western suburbs.

Our study also lasted five days, and no one closed their eyes. With the collection of research materials from various cities, the first weapons were finally made and sent to the battlefield.

On the evening of the fifth day, the might of the weapon finally came into play. For the first time, there were a large number of casualties in that group of monsters, and I could clearly see that after the new weapons were completely suppressed, these monsters finally couldn't hold on, and then disappeared into place.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but everyone knew it was only temporary. These monsters disappeared without a trace, like disappearing air, no matter how we tried to collect the energy fluctuations on the battlefield, we couldn't find any trace. Only when it is about to appear can a little anomaly be found in space.

In the end, I can only reluctantly summarize this phenomenon as a foreign invasion.

A large number of monster corpses were sent to the laboratory, and the previous weapons were recovered, and we worked on a second design.

The riots in the city were quickly suppressed, and everything seemed to go back to the past, except that the sky was overhead, and now it was loess.

The city soon faced a second problem, food.

At the beginning of the second month, riots in the city arose again, and even more terrifying than the last. Smashing and looting has become the norm every day.

Social institutions are paralyzed, and without food, no one can solve the current predicament. The army had no choice but to separate the women from the men and distribute food in the right amount every day.

Even then, riots are frequent. The men were planning how to get out of the army's grasp, and the women were thinking about how to get some food for the soldiers.

Fortunately, weapons have been developed in batches, which should be regarded as the first time that the weapon evolution of the previous civilization has been directly caught up with after the fault civilization.

Presumably, the day of re-seeing the light of day is not far off, and with these weapons in hand, no matter how many monsters come, they should be able to stop it.

But the second war broke out at the end of the second month, and the weapons we developed did more damage to those monsters, but a more terrifying enemy appeared......

Standing in the laboratory, you can clearly see that a group of humans who can fly in the sky and throw fireballs at will in their hands appear above the army.

The cannonballs were bounced back, and the attack of the new weapons only killed a few people. This night, the western suburbs were lost.

For the first time, a group of warplanes appeared in the sky over the city, and the bullets fired out were like bright lines, and under the staggered battle of several fighters, those humans flying in the sky were finally suppressed back.

That night, Yan Zhou entered the laboratory with several strangely dressed human corpses and asked us to study them immediately.

I know that the city's armed forces are about to run dry, and that may be the last hope.

Once again, we were divided into groups tasked with researching the corpses' weapons, identities, regional cultures, and why they were so powerful that they could fly in the sky.

Fortunately, the appearance of the opponent is like a fixed gate, which can only appear in the western suburbs, which also provides a great advantage for the defense of the western suburbs. Time, imperceptibly a year has passed.

The monster that seemed to destroy the world could only play a small role like cannon fodder in these later wars. More and more people are appearing, and it is those who are flying high in the sky.

Every two months there would be a war, and at first we could rely on a large number of fighters to suppress it, but more and more fighters were destroyed, and our armed forces were once again weakened.

I've been to the front line a few times, and it's in ruins, and there aren't many soldiers left, more ugly-looking test subjects.

Knowing that they couldn't hold it anymore, Yan Zhou began to order the test subjects to assimilate humans in order to gain greater combat power.

I was greeted by the third phase of the test subject, who looked much stronger than before, and even had the same feeling as when I first met Yan Zhou.

Later, I found out that he was just enjoying the process of assimilation of human beings, and if it weren't for Yan Zhou's suppression, he might have assimilated all the humans in this city into test subjects.

Another year has passed, and apart from the laboratory where I stayed, there was hardly a single human being found in Manshan City. On this day, our research finally came to fruition, and the space equipment of those outsiders was finally opened.

We found a lot of unreadable books from it, as well as some stones to store energy. Using those Power Stones, we were able to create the first Cold Weapons.

At this time, Yan Zhou also evolved into the fifth phase of the test subject, and he happily flew outside the laboratory and waved at me.

We were talking downstairs in the lab, and he was holding a newly-crafted weapon and laughing heartily like he had never seen before.

He still likes coffee so much, and when we meet, he asks me for all the inventory. We were talking in the hall about when we first met, about when we used to do research together, about how I had been robbed of more than ten years of my youth by an experiment because of him.

By the time he had finished all his memories, it was already six o'clock the next morning, he patted his cheek and said, "The last battle is coming soon, and before that, I will personally send you out." ”

My heart was lost all of a sudden, and I forced a smile: "That's good, I can finally see the light of day again, how is the outside world?"

"What else, civilization is broken again. However, the people outside are not having a good time, there are many mutant beasts, they divide into huge circles, and encircle people inside to resist the attacks of those beasts, just like raising pigs. ”

I shook my head: "That's boring, I'm not going." ”

"You are the most advanced technological force today, we have to send you out, and we have to leave a way out for the people outside. Yan Zhou smiled: "And you are in your thirties, don't find someone to marry again, beware that you can't get married." ”

At half past eight in the morning, Yan Zhou opened the exit of the city and sent hundreds of scientific researchers out of this hell. I put a gun to my head to force him to leave me behind.

I later learned that if he tried to drive me away, my pistol would not work at all.

We got married that night, and the witnesses were thousands of test subjects, and I am afraid that I am the only one in the history of mankind.

In fact, I have only met him a few times in the past ten years, and now I regret it, marrying him, I don't even know what it is like to have descendants......

The battle finally broke out the next night, and I was alone in the lab, with thousands of test subjects and hundreds of outsiders fighting on the ground, and only a black patch could be seen through the telescope.

Yan Zhou stood in the air, carrying several weapons made by me, slashing with a dozen outsiders on the opposite side. Broke a weapon and drew another one.

This battle lasted for three days, and the battle line was still stubbornly held in the western suburbs. In fact, it doesn't make much sense to keep it or not, I'm the only living person in the whole city.

Maybe that's why he stuck to it......

On the morning of the fourth day, all the test subjects below the third stage died, and Yan Zhou finally detonated the small nuclear bomb that had been buried in the western suburbs long ago. In addition to the military high-level at the time, he knew about this matter, and later he told me: "Before I die, I will definitely set off the most beautiful fireworks for you." ”

He kept his promise and put an end to all living things in the sky, destroying all test subjects and outsiders on the ground. The western suburbs have been completely reduced to a forbidden area for life......

From that day on, I put on a hazmat suit and searched for his traces in the rubble.

It has been the fifth year since the city of Manshan was buried. This is the 10,000th time I have looked for his traces, and they all say that stacking 10,000 paper cranes can fulfill a wish of a couple. I only hope that these 10,000 searches will allow me to see him again, even if it's a corpse......

The food in the lab is finally running out, my life is coming to an end, and I want to save the last time for the place where I first met him, where there are the best memories of me and him. If he were alive, he would definitely come to me, definitely!

The last two notebooks were translated by me from the space equipment of the outsiders. I don't have much time left, and I only have two books that can be translated, and the rest are in the third room. If you can see it, let me be my gift to you.

If one day, you see a monster with a very white face, please tell him that I have been waiting for him......
