Shen Feng jumped up from the water, grabbed the automatic rifle on the ground and aimed at the figure.

It was only then that he suddenly noticed through the scope that the figure's body seemed to shimmer slightly.

The light around there was too dim to be seen clearly.

Shen Feng took a deep breath, rushed forward directly, and instantly ran out of a distance of dozens of meters, came to the front of the figure, and put the muzzle of the gun against the opponent's head.

The soft sound of the metal striking was heard with a "clang...... muzzle, and the muzzle of the gun felt like it had touched a stone.

The tactical flashlight suddenly turned on and shone on the opponent's face.

What appeared in front of Shen Feng was a metal figure.

This is not a living person.

Shen Feng couldn't help frowning.

In the last days of the stone statues, he had seen a large number of humanoid stone statues, and he had long been immune to this thing.

He crouched down to take a closer look at the metal figure.

The portrait is a middle-aged man in overalls and a slightly worn hat.

He just sat down by the wall, his hands outstretched as if grasping something upward.

The expression on his face was horrified and distorted, and his gaze finally turned upwards.

Not only his body, but also his clothes and hat, including his glasses, were all metalized, exactly the same material as the gray metal walls around him.

Shen Feng's eyes were cold, and he stood up, already confirming what happened to the other party.

Ashes.

At this time, he was no longer the appearance that he didn't understand anything when he had just entered the end of the stone statue, and naturally he would not think that this metal figure was a work of art.

This is a human who has been swallowed by a gray tide formed by nanorobotic insects.

When the program of the nanoworm wave is disordered, it is easy to only execute the front command and abandon the back command.

To put it simply, it is to only devour the prey and convert the metal, instead of using the prey as the raw material to construct the items in the program instructions.

The engulfed substance is spit out from the molecular level intact, remaining in its original form.

This is also known as ash devouring.

At this moment, Shen Feng suddenly saw a corner of a notebook appear on the inside of the other party's clothes.

He immediately reached out to pull it, but cursed in the next second.

Exercise.

The worker's whole body had turned to metal, along with his notebook, and it was impossible to take it out.

After checking his surroundings to make sure that there were no other humans after being devoured, Shen Feng staggered back to the pool and jumped into it again, making a big splash.

It's been seven or eight days since I came here, and after seven days of running in the black rumbling corridor, I finally came out and met a metal figure that was still devoured by ashes.

Shen Feng was a little skeptical at this time, whether there were any living humans in this world.

The gray tide composed of nanomechanical insects can be described as devouring the sky and the earth, even if it is useless to dig a nuclear bomb bunker, even if it is the military base of Cheyenne Mountain, which was once the most defensive, it has no power to parry in the face of the gray tide.

Whether it's metal or stone, nanoworms at the molecular level can eat for you, and they can't be stopped at all.

Because of this, it is likely that the entire human race of the world has been completely devoured.

Or it can be broken down into basic raw materials and turned into floors, walls, pipes, and other structures.

Or like this person just now, he was directly devoured and turned into a metal statue.

After completing two post-apocalyptic missions and thwarting several cataclysms in the real world, Shen Feng felt powerless for the first time.

For the first time, he suspected that it might take him a long, long, or even many years to finish it all......

There are no clues at all.

It's as if it's a dead world.

A metal cemetery.

Wrong...... Shen Feng shook his head suddenly, he was almost affected by the cramped and monotonous environment inside this super structure.

One more clue!

Shen Feng got up and wiped his body clean, got dressed, brought all his equipment, and returned to the gray metal figure again to observe carefully.

His hands, and his eyes, were pointing upwards in the last moments before he died.

Up!

Maybe only by going up, under the sun, can we find the answer!

At the same time, Shen Feng was shocked to find that under the huge logo of "Sky Technology", there were still a few lines of small characters.

Here's an etched barcode, along with a few lines of words:

Warehouse structure 47287567 September 12, 2029

The "factory" where he was located was originally a warehouse building.

And it is 47,287,567 rooms, built on September 12, 2029!

With the experience of the apocalyptic world of the nuclear war wasteland, Shen Feng instantly understood that the time when the gray tide broke out should be before 2029 in this world.

And now the time in the end of the gray tide, I don't know when it is......

The answer, perhaps, lies above.

Then Shen Feng no longer hesitated, and began to climb up a flight of stairs inside the structure.

Soon, he came to the upper floor.

This floor is different from the previous one, it looks like the interior of an office building, and it is far from the height just now, only two or three meters high in total, which seems to be a first floor.

There were still some messy building components stacked on top of each other, but they were a little more orderly than the structure of the previous floor.

Shen Feng didn't stop at all, and continued to go up the stairs inside.

The next few floors are somewhat similar, but everything is getting a little more orderly, as if a crappy architect is gradually learning how to construct a building.

Obviously, Grey Tide is also constantly iterating and evolving as it builds these constructs.

The height of each floor is different, but it gradually develops in an orderly direction, and even has a faint sense of architectural beauty.

Another three days had passed, and Shen Feng had already climbed hundreds of floors.

The food was almost exhausted, and only a third of the water had been replenished in the previous two days.

The most important thing is that strong sense of loneliness.

If it weren't for Jingwei accompanying him to chat nonsense, Shen Feng estimated that he might not be able to hold it anymore.

There is nothing here except endless rooms and buildings, and staircases that seem to never end.

Even if it's a cockroach.

Once Shen Feng thought that if there was a hell in this world, the bottom should be a high-intensity radiation nuclear crater in the wasteland of nuclear warfare.

And now he had confirmed that the bottom of hell was definitely a lonely hell made up of empty buildings without any living beings.

"Sand ...... Sha ......" Shen Feng walked up the last two steps with heavy steps and climbed to a new level.

959。

The Arabic numerals on the walls indicate the number of floors he is on now.

Suddenly, Shen Feng's figure slammed suddenly, and then pounced on the door of a huge storage structure in front of him.

Unlike the cookie-coded and chaotic floors that we had experienced before, the 959th floor is a giant storage structure that is tens of meters high.

And in this storage structure, there are still a few lights on.

In the dim light, there were huge glass coffins, connected to various pipes and cables protruding from the ground.

Shen Feng threw himself in front of a glass coffin and looked inside, his eyes couldn't help but widen.

In the glass coffin, there is a person.

Brown hair, white skin, male.

A living, frozen human being.

Looking at the entire storage structure, there is a person in all the glass coffins.

Endless, densely packed with people!

At this moment, a chaotic sound of footsteps suddenly sounded behind him.
