The moment he heard the footsteps, Shen Feng's eyes narrowed, and he was about to find a place to hide, but the footsteps gradually disappeared.

It seems to be just passing by from a distance.

I can't even tell if it's on this level.

After discovering the living person at this time, he calmed down and was no longer in a hurry to communicate with people.

Relaxing slightly, Shen Feng put on his tactical helmet and night vision goggles, picked up the automatic rifle hanging in front of him, and began to explore the storage structure.

When encountering a living person, it is naturally better to use bullets.

Along the way, Shen Feng discovered that the structure of these "glass coffins" was not glass, but some kind of transparent metal.

Judging from the gray appearance and overall structure, these things seem to belong to the masterpiece of nanorobots......

It's just that if it's the result of the nanoworms devouring it, why didn't all these humans be devoured into metal figures, but still maintained flesh and blood and life?

What the hell is this place?

Hospital? Sanatorium?

Suddenly, a line of small English words on the side of a glass coffin caught his attention:

Bernard Bent, male, number NY-4819, 7 years. There is also a photo in the back.

Immediately afterwards, he was shocked to find that on the sides of all the glass coffins, there was a line of words, on which were the names, genders, numbers, and years of the people lying inside.

Plus a one-inch ID photo.

Judging by the names and appearances of these people, they are all Westerners.

NY, New York, NY.

He's still in New York, this world!

Just what does this number and number of years mean?

Shen Feng continued to move forward with the confusion in his heart, and as he gradually went deeper into this huge storage structure, he gradually discovered that the number of glass coffins here was amazing.

As far as the eye can see, there are at least tens of thousands of glass coffins, and further afield, there seem to be more.

Or rather, it's more akin to a biological pod, a cryogenic hibernation pod.

Moreover, some of the dormant pods had shattered hatches and were empty of anything but brown blood left on the ground, as well as evaporated and dried liquids.

It seems to have been damaged by an external force.

At this moment, a dormant chamber without nutrient solution appeared in front of Shen Feng.

Inside was a struggling, twisted corpse.

The dormant pod was intact, but it seemed to have emptied the nutrient solution due to a malfunction, and the people inside should have woken up directly, but they couldn't break the hatch cover to break free, and finally died of suffocation due to oxygen depletion.

His fingernails had fallen off, the inner walls of the transparent hatch were scratched, and he had apparently tried various ways to break free before he died, but to no avail, and finally suffocated to death.

Because of the sterile environment inside and the constant temperature and humidity, his corpse did not decompose, but turned into a dry corpse.

"Jingwei, analyze the state of the corpse and the preservation time." Shen Feng carefully observed the dried corpse and said.

Before this departure, he had asked Jingwei to collect a lot of data and information, and directly formed several inspection models, including the inference of the corpse.

After all, it is really difficult to predict time in the last days, and sometimes the change of corpse becomes a yardstick.

"Okay, wait for me to wake up a few subroutines." Jingwei said, and began to analyze.

After the death of the human body, the cells in the body will begin the autolysis process, and the lysozymatic enzymes in the cells will release various proteolytic enzymes, so that the biological macromolecules will be gradually degraded into small molecules.

In addition to the autolysis process, it is also subject to the decay and decomposition of various bacteria and other external substances, which is a natural process.

The existence of dried corpses is contrary to this natural process.

The main reason is that due to the high degree of sealing of the small environment in which the corpse is located, there will be no gas exchange with the outside world, and the early decay process and oxidation process in the coffin consume residual oxygen, forming an anoxic environment, which is not conducive to the growth and reproduction of putrefactive bacteria, and the decay of the corpse will stop.

The water of the corpse is also absorbed or emptied by the surrounding environment after oozing, completely avoiding further decomposition, and a dry corpse is formed.

"Judging from the degree of decomposition, dehydration, skin changes and other indicators of this corpse, it should have been dead for about 30 years."

Jingwei's voice rang out.

Shen Feng nodded.

Thirty years......

In other words, it has been at least thirty years since the outbreak of the Gray Tide Apocalypse.

And it should be longer.

After all, no one knows when this dried corpse suddenly woke up.

Combined with the time markers seen on the metal walls before, the current time of the Grey Tide Apocalypse is at least 2059 onwards......

Who are these people?

What kind of place is this?

Refuge?

It's just that this place can be accessed at will, and it doesn't feel like a shelter at all.

And if it's a shelter, the area is safe now, why haven't these people woken up from their hibernation?

No, these dormant pods are obviously made of materials that have been formed after the ashes......

At this time, he also found that the last data years of the dormant chamber where the dried corpse was located were not the same as before.

13 years.

Looking at the surrounding hibernation pods, the number of years marked in this area is 13 years.

What exactly does this number of years mean?

Shen Feng took a deep breath and continued to move forward, still sleeping in the pods, one by one in the dormant pods.

And the number of years marked on these dormant pods is gradually increasing.

20 years.

25 years.

50 years.

80 years.

100 years......

At the same time, as he delved deeper into the storage structure, more and more broken dormant pods appeared.

Many of these dormant pods are stained with brown blood.

There were even some yellowish-white dry bones on the ground.

Shen Feng squatted down and picked up a bone, looked at it for a while, and all kinds of information about human bones in his mind quickly flashed to match.

This is a tibia on a human leg.

In the middle of the tibia, there are also several tooth marks.

Human tooth marks.

Soon, he had reached the deepest part of the storage structure, and the number of years marked on the dormant pod had grown.

The surrounding bio-modules are basically more than 300 years old.

All of the hundreds of hibernation pods in this area have been opened.

Although there were some blood stains, there were not many corpses.

Shen Feng walked in front of a sleeping pod and looked at the complete hatch that had obviously been opened from the inside, with a deep groan on his face.

The number of years marked on this hibernation pod is the largest.

Mike, male, number NY-83587, 1762.

In the back is a photo of a strong black man.

And unlike other dormant pods, the hatch cover of this dormant pod is not damaged in the slightest, and there are traces of the evaporation of the nutrient solution on the bulkhead.

The people in this hibernation pod are naturally awakened.

At this time, looking at the years on the dormant pods around him, Shen Feng faintly understood something.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps, and there were screams and laughter!

Shen Feng frowned and rushed in the direction where the voice came from.

The sound wasn't far from here, it should be just behind a solitary metal wall!

Quickly transformed into a battle form, seeing that a pillar in front of him was full of uneven metal floating spots, Shen Feng used both hands and feet to climb to the top of this pillar.

He then grabbed some strange metal pillars and handles hanging from the ceiling, and landed at the top of the free-standing metal wall, like a leopard, and swiftly walked away in the direction from which the sound came.

Soon, he had come to the place where the voice came.

Dozens of men, ragged or even unclothed, were smiling around a man in a loose white patient gown, armed with metal components or daggers remodeled from fragments of the hatch cover of a dormant pod.

The man's clothes were not yet dry, his hair was still succulent, and he seemed to have just woken up from the hibernation pod.

He had two metal shards stuck in his body, and one leg had been broken, and he was huddled in the corner of the wall, looking at the people who were coming around him with a look of despair and horror:

"You ...... Police, police! I'm going to call the police! What the hell is this place? What do you want to do? Help me! Help me! ”

It's just that his injuries are too serious, one of the metal fragments has pierced the heart, and as soon as he shouted a few words, streams of blood gushed out of his mouth, and he quickly lost his breath.

Seeing that the man was dead, among the people holding the murder weapon below, a thin man asked the bald black man next to him:

"Boss Mike, do you think this is enough?"

The rest of the people around were silent at this point, apparently led by Boss Mike.

Mike looked at the dead man with an expressionless face, as if he was looking at an ant, and said:

"It's not enough, this guy is too thin, go pick a fatter prey."

Shen Feng couldn't help but squint his eyes.

This man is the man in the hibernation pod marked 1762!

"Okay, guys, let's go pick a new prey! Choose a fatter one this time! ”

"Haha, obey!"

"Today we're having an open-air barbecue!"

Hearing the wind, like a group of wild beasts, everyone turned around and rushed into a sleeping pod not far away, and began to look at the dormant people in the hibernation pod.

Their gaze is playful, cruel, indifferent, and even greedy in anticipation, as if they are picking prey to be slaughtered in a slaughterhouse.

"That's good!" The thin man just now shouted, "This head is fat enough!" Boss Mike, come and have a look. ”

The man named Mike walked over slowly, glanced at the dormant inside with an expressionless face, nodded and said:

"Yes, I'll choose this pig."

The crowd immediately rushed up and began to smash the metal canopy of the dormant chamber with the metal components in their hands.

Soon, the sound of the hatch shattering came, revealing a slightly chubby man sleeping inside.

The man was dragged out of the hibernation pod, still in a deep sleep, like a piece of wood, without the slightest reaction.

But the men had apparently grown accustomed to this, and immediately began to skillfully punch and kick the man.

The thin man even stabbed the man's foot directly with the metal fragment in his hand, stimulating him to wake up.

After a moment, the man's eyelids twitched slightly.

In the next moment, it suddenly opened!
