CHAPTER XLIV
The day after the communication equipment failed, people began to learn to accept the end of the world.
At the same time, the lingering drizzle in the sky turned into a downpour.
After the underground drainage system was completely paralyzed by the ice, it was only a morning before the sea broke through the coastal defense line and poured into the city, and in a blink of an eye, the water on the ice was already as high as four meters - plus the ice below that was frozen tightly, which is equivalent to the surface height of the entire city being forcibly raised by about seven or eight meters, that is to say, the basic road surface is no longer visible, and standing on a high place and looking at it, there are roofs of buildings frozen in ice or soaked in water everywhere.
The city seems to be isolated between a sea of glaciers.
It was as if from that moment on, the headquarters of the district of Columbia, which covers more than 1,000 places, suddenly became the whole world.
……
After receiving the message from Bangalore at the last second of the zero morning communication failure, the senior management of the base headquarters held a short meeting overnight, and finally decided to send super soldiers to Bangalore to investigate the situation, because some people speculated that the appearance of the second Alfinu energy crystal may also create some "evolved humans", and those people may also be the last humans on Earth who can survive in the end, except for the Washington area.
After the meeting, two-thirds of the one hundred and five super soldiers who survived the battle of the No. 1 real yàn body received the strong light simulation sunshine and replenished enough energy to set off for the coastal direction to look for usable ships, and the remaining dozens of them went out to dig ice to find food that might be edible buried under the glacier, and finally less than ten super soldiers remained at the base headquarters on standby, They are also responsible for guarding the security of the researchers on the third floor who register and examine the Berserker soldiers.
Fu Shen woke up in the morning to the hall, only to find that all the tables and chairs in the hall had been moved, and there were people fleeing here everywhere, most of them were young and middle-aged, men and women, everyone was holding the food and water distributed uniformly, because the base itself was limited in materials, and everyone could get very little things, but no one dared to complain, because there were regular army officers patrolling everywhere with two super soldiers.
That officer was still an acquaintance of the cocoon god in a sense, Colonel Jason, the man the cocoon god had met after escaping from the institute with the black box and serum.
"It's as quiet as a baby, isn't it?" A lazy voice sounded behind the cocoon god with the sound of a wheelchair rolling, "That's because before you got up, they had already shot three or four troublemakers." ”
The god turned to look at Enoche, "I thought you and Chubby had gone out to find something to eat." ”
"I've been looking up the information in the database all morning, and as for the search mission, Hugin and Munin can just follow." Enochie said, "It's a pity that you wake up too late, and if you can see them see that there are still two living crows in the sky, their expressions are wonderful." ”
The god turned around and pushed Enoch in the direction of the rest room, and asked without much hope, "What information have you found?" ”
The expression on Enoche's face suddenly became a little strange from an angle that could not be seen by the god - it seemed that he had something to say but did not know where to start, until the person walking behind the wheelchair sensed that something was wrong with him and bent down to look at him, and after seeing the appearance on Enoche's face, the god of cocos asked, "Want to pee?" ”
"Don't pee, Dr. Chu, let me ask you a question."
"You ask."
"When the real yàn room was established, were you sure that the original intention of creating these real yàn bodies was really to prevent the internal war of mankind and for the sake of world peace?"
"Isn't it?"
"Starting from the No. 1 real yàn body, each real yàn body has great destructive power."
"Countering violence with violence."
Enoch fell silent for a moment as a matter of course, and after a long time, he sighed, and suddenly asked another seemingly unrelated question: "Did you give the two soldiers' suicide notes you found in the hall of the institute to the little milk dog?" ”
"Give it to him," Enoch asked, a little inexplicably, what was this for.
"What's written in there?"
The corners of the cocoon's lips twitched: "How can I go and peek?" ”
Enoch showed an expression of "I know", and then the god realized that he seemed to have something to say, and sure enough, after waiting for a while, he heard this guy in the wheelchair say: "In addition to bringing back the black box, antidote serum, and two suicide notes from the real room, did you forget what else you brought out?" ”
The face of the cocoon god was empty for a few seconds, and then suddenly he said, "You mean Professor Nott's diary?" ”
Enoch: "Hmm. ”
Cocoon: "You stole my bag?" ”
Enochie: "...... Can you get to the point? ”
Cocoon God: "What are you doing in my bag, and you are peeking at the professor's diary, which is a diary, personal belongings!" ”
Enoche: "People are dead, what personal belongings are you talking about, are you sick?" ”
Cocoon: "Is the professor's absence a reason why you can peek into his diary, so why don't you just ask the research department to take apart your freshly recovered head and look at it?" Anyway, you've been dismembered, huh? ”
"But my spirit lives on, isn't this alive and kicking around arguing with you?"
"It's not right to peek at other people's personal belongings, and you still steal my bag."
"So pay attention to * why don't you lock it, a broken zipper can be opened casually, and you can't feel your sincerity in protecting yourself."
"You-"
At this time, the two had walked to a passage where no one was around, as if they had finally had enough of the old-fashioned education from the people behind them, and the person in the wheelchair stood up suddenly, turned around and looked at the cocoon god with an expressionless face - the height difference of half a head higher than himself at that moment made the cocoon slightly stunned, the hand holding the wheelchair handle tightened slightly, and the cocoon god raised his head and looked indifferently at the red eyes: "What do you see?" ”
"If I hadn't rummaged through your bag today and seen that diary, you would probably still be complacent as a high-level member of the research institute until the day you froze to death, and you don't know who you were playing around."
Enochhe said, under the surprised gaze of the cocoon god, he took out the black cover diary stuffed in his pocket and slapped it on the cocoon god's chest: "Take it and look at it slowly, if you need to find someone to cry after reading it, I will be in the lounge on the fourth floor." ”
After speaking, he snatched the wheelchair back from the stunned person holding the diary, dragged it and strode out of the meteor for more than a dozen steps, and only after walking far did he seem to realize that something was wrong, stopped and kicked the wheelchair in a huff, and then sat on it, curled up his long legs aggrievedly, and controlled the wheelchair to leave at twice the speed of his own walking.
……
Standing alone in the empty corridor, the god hesitated for a long time before finally opening the diary in his hand - the corner of the diary was soaked with blackened dry blood, and when he turned the first page and saw the bloodstains, the young man holding the diary trembled slightly, and slammed the diary shut as if he was running away from something.
Holding the heavy black book in one hand, the god himself forgot how long he had been blowing the cold wind in the corridor.
It wasn't until he was sure that his love had stabilized that he had the courage to open the diary and start reading it seriously.
[January 1, 2068.]
The day has finally come, and for nearly twenty years, I have climbed from a small assistant in the real yàn room to where I am today, just to witness the moment when this project was launched.
Human beings should always be responsible for their own actions, and someone should clean up the mess left over more than 20 years ago. 】
…… In 2068?
Fu Shen thought about it, it seemed that it was the time when the real yàn room project was launched, but what did the diary mention of "the mess left over more than twenty years ago"?
Almost having doubts about the first diary, Fu Shen calmed down, walked quickly to a nearby lounge and entered, locked the door to make sure no one came back to disturb, and then he opened the diary and began to read it one by one seriously.
[January 4, 2068.]
The first real yàn body will be determined, and the identity will be determined as the Hercules "Antai" in Greek mythology.
If this real yàn body is successfully studied, it will be the strongest weapon on the ground.
I almost can't wait to start this research work, and if I can, before I can live I'll see the rooms pay for what they have done. 】
[January 5, 2068.]
Sky. The DPRK sent staff, and the leader of the team was Professor Chen, who had participated in the practice and is now retired.
Professor Chen handed over all the information of "that child" to the R&D department as the starting basis for the No. 1 real yàn body, and when the relevant content passed through my hands, I hurriedly read it - more shocking and amazing than I had ever been exposed to, and even imagined, and I couldn't help but think that if that series of things hadn't happened at the beginning, "that child" would still be alive......]
[January 12, 2068.]
I'm probably really old.
Today, when I faced the two students I brought with me and told them that the ultimate purpose of this institute was to create the ultimate weapon of 'bringing peace to the world', I felt guilty when I looked at their faces without the slightest doubt.
It's not for such a high-sounding reason.
It's just a bunch of useless sinners trying to make up for the mistakes they have made. 】
[February 3, 2068.]
There were some problems encountered in the development of the No. 1 real yàn problem.
Even with the basic information of "that child" as a support, everything goes very unsmoothly, as if God is hindering us from creating a weapon to destroy "that child".
Ah, yes, it was, after all, twenty years ago, the greatest being in the history of mankind, he was so perfect, so perfect that even God could not bear to erase him. 】
[March 3, 2068.]
In his lifetime, he must find out all the people in the room and sentence those thieves to the most cruel capital punishment in the world.
They snatched him from us, and may have transformed him into a demon.
That child, the first hope of mankind.
Our first number.
Friga. 】
