Volume 1 The Endless Wilderness Section 143 Antiquities

Corpse worms are symbiotes of the living dead and the source of living corpse diseases. Only the living dead who have evolved to a certain level will have formed corpse worms in their bodies. But this is a completely enclosed space, and there are no mutated creatures for the living dead to devour and evolve, so how do they advance to the next level?

Between his thoughts, Chen Xing suddenly felt an inexplicable crisis, instinctively pulled out his dagger and swung it to the side.

"Smack!"

A soft sound came to my ears, like some kind of goo. Looking down, a corpse worm that had been cut in two rolled and writhed on the ground. Chen Xing drew his gun and shot it, beating the corpse worms to pieces.

"Exit first, then call twenty people down, carpet search, not a single corner can be spared!"

A moment later, twenty new members came down, a total of forty or so people, and began to check from the entrance. The bodies of the two team members were soon discovered, both of them were attacked by corpse worms, their throats were blocked, and they died quietly.

A large number of iron frame beds were dismantled and thrown to the sides, and the debris was cleared out and stacked in the middle. Two soldiers are responsible for registering and collecting valuable items.

"Boss, I found a workbook, paper made of clover vine roots, not rotten." Aaron brought a khaki notebook.

Chen Xing turned on the flashlight to check, the workmanship of the book was very rough, and it was bound with a copper buckle. Turning it over, the pages are slightly yellowed and covered with the texture of plant roots. Apparently pressed with mutated trifolium roots, it can be preserved for hundreds of years without decaying.

The handwriting on it is clear, and judging by the color, it is written in blue-black ink, which will likewise last for hundreds of years.

"Dr2235-06-18, which I bought with three months' salary, is said to last for more than five hundred years. I tried it, and it was harder than cowhide, and I had to use industrial scissors to cut it. That's great, from today onwards, I'm going to record important events in my life, maybe someone will find out about it in hundreds of years, and then I'll be a part of history, maybe I'll be mentioned in school classes......"

"Hi, friends who are reading this diary, hello, I'm Brador, from the 65th underground survival house, I like sweets, and I'm greeting you across time and space!"

Seeing this, Chen Xing couldn't help but smile, what an interesting young man.

"Dr2235-06-19, I wrote a poem, but everyone said they couldn't understand it. All I can say about this is that poets are lonely. ”

"Dr2235-08-05, I fell in love with a girl, but she was an intern at the research center, so I decided to apply for a job as a cleaner at the research center in order to see her again."

"Dr2235-11-21, what a dim day, she's got a boyfriend, she's a bald engineer......"

……

Chen Xing flipped back to the middle of the diary.

"Dr2238-04-13, she was abandoned, at noon, she hid in the laboratory alone and secretly shed tears, it was really distressing, that hateful old man, I cursed him!"

"Dr2238-04-14, she cried again at noon, should I pretend to be passing by, and then comfort her? Forget it, I'm just a cleaner, and although I'm still a poet, poets don't have their own room......"

……

Chen Xing even turned a few pages, the content was almost the same, it seemed that the "big event" in the eyes of young people was just a girl he liked, so he turned the diary to the last page.

"Dr2241-12-20, she is pregnant, the smile on her face is very happy, I wish her well."

"Dr2242-01-07, the expedition has brought back a mysterious object, contained in several metal crates. I was asked to stay away from the lab. Some say it's an 'antiquity' with magical powers. I don't know why, but I have some ominous premonitions, maybe I'm too sensitive......"

"Dr2242-01-10, these days, there are always strange noises coming from the laboratory, I want to go in and have a look, but the soldiers won't let me get close, saying it's the director's order."

"Dr2242-01-15, I haven't seen her in a week, my heart is empty, I feel so uncomfortable......"

This concludes the diary. It's hard to guess exactly what happened, but it must have something to do with the "antiquities" it said.

If you want to explain the meaning of antiquities, you must start with the "undercurrent of time and space". But to explain the "space-time undercurrent", we must start with the nature of the universe.

When he first crossed into this world, Chen Xing still had the illusion of going home, so he read a lot of books on space theory.

In the imagination of scholars, the limit of space is the multiverse. The multiverse is made up of an infinite number of single verses. The single universe is also known as the "parallel universe", whether it is the earth, the red world, or other worlds, all exist in different parallel universes.

And the space between the single metaverse and the single metaverse is called the "endless void" by scholars.

Every minute and every second, countless worlds are reborn and countless worlds are destroyed.

When a world is destroyed, the wreckage pours into the Endless Void, forming a massive fluid. Eventually, all the fluids will come together and become a boundless torrent with no beginning or end.

Since the Endless Void is considered by scholars to be the lowest level of the multiverse, this torrent has been named the "Spacetime Undercurrent".

The emergence of the cataclysm is precisely because of the impact of the undercurrent of time and space.

The full name of antiquities is "ancient relics", which not only refers to ancient cultural relics, but also refers to rare treasures that come to this world with the undercurrent of time and space. They are like deep blue pearls washed onto the beach by the waves, shining brightly. Of course, it is also possible that there is a drifting bottle that hides a demon.

But whatever it is, it is a great asset for the humans of the Red World. Even demons can dismember the potions needed for refining.

Chen Xing closed the diary, took out the handheld screen, connected the black watch, and called up the simple map.

The institute is a core facility and is usually located in the heart of the Survival Center. He calculated that the central area was more than 3,000 meters away from its current location.

"Keep looking for clues and then build a line of defense." Chen Xing instructed Aaron, then returned to the ground with Brado's diary and told the two sisters and the third uncle of the Ye Yang family about the situation.

Although it was a huge fortune, he really wanted to swallow it alone, but there were many people below, most of them were soldiers of the Ye Yang family, and it was impossible for him to hide it.

And he wants to seek the help of the third uncle, if the other party can go down with him, the safety factor will be much higher. Unexpectedly, after listening to his intentions, the third uncle refused bluntly.

"The task of the old man is to ensure the safety of his two granddaughters, and the exploration should be left to the expedition team."

The meaning of the third uncle is that he will not risk his life, Chen Xing can go if he wants to, and let the people below go if he doesn't want to go.

In desperation, Chen Xing had no choice but to return to the underground alone and take command. If he stays on it, the credit will naturally be small, and the benefits will be much less. If you want to make money, you must not shrink your head and tail.

"Set up the line and prepare to blow the door." As soon as he got below, Chen Xing said hurriedly.
