Chapter 3: The Post-War World
The air rushed into the lungs, and the strong feeling of discomfort caused a cough, and the heart and lungs were in pain as if they were drowning, and the whole body could not exert their strength. Zhang Xuan leaned limply on the edge of the "cabin", and after a few minutes gradually regained some strength, he forced his body to roll out of the "cabin".
After another violent cough, Zhang Xuan looked at the top of the blue-black room, and the memory slowly flowed into his brain.
There were still some details that were forgotten, but it was clear what had happened, and he rested for a while, then sat up.
It looks like a laboratory, but the instruments and devices are covered with a layer of dust, and the ground is also dusty, Zhang Xuan looked to the side, there is also a "cabin" next to it, but it is already empty inside, covered with a layer of dust.
Where is this?
In the memory they were hiding in the subway station, and after falling unconscious, he seemed to be transferred again, could it be a "human protection agency"?
It's all played like this in the movie, similar to the living space of "Noah's Ark", but what about Xinjiang? Where are Han Jianghui and them?
Zhang Xuan stood up, his strength was gradually recovering, now it was basically no problem to move around, there was only one exit to the room, and there was nothing that could be opened on a device similar to a "door", Zhang Xuan raised his hand to wipe the dust off the wall, but the handwriting on the glass had been damaged.
He found a hard object and smashed glass, inside which was a small electric switch.
He pulled the electric switch, and after dozens of seconds of silence, the sound of "drop" sounded in this silent space, the indicator pin of the instrument began to run, the display screen lit up, and the door also sounded, and then slowly opened.
The dim aisle was illuminated by the flickering lights, the cold smell flowed with the opening of the door, the exhaust fan began to run, Zhang Xuan walked forward along the aisle, and soon another door appeared, the door also opened the moment the power was restored, Zhang Xuan walked into the space in the door, and the inside was no longer the same.
There seems to have been a great chaos here, with almost everything destroyed, and now nothing but dust and life remains.
A skeleton was lying on the ground.
Zhang Xuan had seen mummies, but they were counted as antiquities and history after all. A real skeleton is very difficult for a normal person to see in a lifetime, and it is impossible for a person to become a skeleton soon after death, it will take a long time to rot, weather, and be decomposed.
Feeling close, there was a sound of Suo Suo coming from the skeleton, the skeleton's body actually trembled, Zhang Xuan was startled and hurriedly retreated, and then saw a layer of "dust" falling from the skeleton, and the skeleton's body was like it had been gnawed for a long time, and it was full of dense depressions and holes.
After that layer of dust fell, it actually crawled towards Zhang Xuan, it was hundreds of thousands of creatures dozens of times smaller than ants, they were as inconspicuous as dust when they were still, but they were gnawing at bones.
Zhang Xuan shivered fiercely, and then quickly left here, and after about two minutes, he came to the end - a simple engineering elevator, but the elevator console seemed to have been damaged, Zhang Xuan checked and found that its external wires had been broken, but this kind of elevator is generally equipped with backup batteries to prevent accidents.
Zhang Xuan didn't know if the battery would have run out, so he found the battery's console and pulled the electric switch.
The simple control display lit up, flickered and flickered, and Zhang Xuan tried to press the button that seemed to be "enabled", and then there was a sound of machinery running overhead, and the elevator slowly fell and stabilized on the platform.
Zhang Xuan checked the console and the metal structure that bound the elevator, and finally got on the elevator, in fact, he had no choice, but fortunately, the elevator sent him up steadily.
There was a skeleton lying next to the elevator exit, Zhang Xuan remembered the dusty insect and hurriedly crossed over, and sure enough, after a noise on the skeleton, a piece of worm approached him.
There is still a passage above, Zhang Xuan walked along the passage and soon saw a door again, it should be said that it was two, the door that relied on electric drive had been opened, and there was a huge alloy door outside, Zhang Xuan turned the knob on the door that was already a little stiff, and finally there was a "click" sound, Zhang Xuan pushed the door open.
The outside is no longer a passage but land, this door is obviously connected to the door of the outside world, the exit of the entire facility is a man-made cave, the concrete facility has been completely destroyed, Zhang Xuan walked out, the cold wind blew violently, and the eyes were desolate.
It seemed to be a destroyed mountain plain, Zhang Xuan took a few steps forward and turned to look behind him.
This is...... Zhonghai, this is ...... Wasteland, a wasteland!
Zhang Xuan's mind was suddenly emptied, and he didn't even stand firm for a moment.
This is not a mountain plain, this is Zhonghai.
Kilometers away, there are tall buildings, as well as ...... Ruined walls!
Even the air seemed to freeze, and after a few minutes, Zhang Xuan sighed.
It's not that hard to accept.
He thought, but what followed was a suppressed almost breathless pain, extreme depression, he didn't want to care about the destruction of the city at all, and what was going on, all he thought about was the few people around him.
Zhang Xuan sat down on the spot, his body was about to tremble due to the cold wind, his clothes were similar to the leather texture of protective clothing, and he couldn't keep out the cold at all in this environment, but the pain brought by the cold wind seemed to be diluted a lot at this moment, he was thinking about a lot of things in his heart, and finally stood up again.
Live and find out what's going on, and then find them.
He meditated and walked out in the direction of the city.
