Incomprehensible things happened one after another.

The first people to come into close contact with the ruins all went ill after leaving, and the last ones died.

On the contrary, the people who stayed here to continue their research are still alive, which makes people have to take a fresh look at this ruin.

At that time, no one dared to say such a curse here, and it could only be analyzed from a scientific point of view, after dissecting and analyzing those who died, it was finally concluded that they could be exposed to unknown radiation and create organ failure to die.

At the same time, the staff who stayed behind to do research also discovered the presence of excessive radiation in the cave, which is also basically consistent with the conclusion reached after the autopsy.

But then a new problem arises, and that is that the people who continue to stay here have been exposed to the same radiation, perhaps even more than those who have died, but their vital signs are normal. At that time, it could only be attributed to the fact that the people left behind were in good health, and the part of the people who walked was in poor health, and it could not be explained otherwise.

Later, after some researchers left the base, they still did not escape the fate of violent death, which made everyone understand that this place is truly "there is no return".

Nuclear weapons experts proposed lead plate protection, which eventually worked, but by the time the lead-containing protective clothing was actually used, most of the people who first came into contact with the core had already been killed or injured.

A few years later, the rest of the population discovered the astonishing phenomenon that all of them did not grow old, that time seemed to release a static magic on their bodies, and their physical state remained the same as the moment they first came into contact with the core, and the more time passed, the more certain they became of this inexplicable fact.

I frowned, leaned down and looked at the people working in protective suits on the ground through the glass floor, feeling like I was listening to a fairy tale like Arabian Nights.

Political Commissar Lu frowned at me, and he also leaned down and knocked on the glass floor with his fingers, and said to me: "Don't worry, these are leaded glasses, which can isolate that kind of rays." ”

"Oh." I nodded, and then asked, "Do you mean that people who are irradiated have eternal life in some sense?" ”

Political Commissar Lu shook his head and said: "No, it's not that simple, diseases and accidents can still take lives, some people are trapped in the base for too long, and choose to commit suicide after going crazy, and some people will also die after falling ill." ”

I continued to ask, "What about you?" Has it also been irradiated? ”

"Yes." Political Commissar Lu did not hide it, he continued: "I am the only squad leader who has not been killed by the leech worm. ”

I was stunned for a moment, and after I understood, I hurriedly said to him, "I'm sorry......"

He waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's all old." ”

Although he said this, I could still see a faint sadness in his eyes. watched his comrades-in-arms who got along with him die tragically one by one in front of him, but he lived in these endless years of "eternal youth". This is by no means a gift from heaven for him, it is punishment.

I didn't want to talk about this in front of him, so I changed the subject and asked, "Are all these people in the base from the past?" ”

"Of course not......," Commissar Lu shook his head and continued to tell the story here.

After this incident, 653 became top secret, and after that, the number of the troops was still there, but the meaning was completely different.

The later fighters only knew that this was a top secret, and they didn't know what the secret of the guards was, because the new fighters could only access the first hall of 653 at most, and the airtight door in the hall was a forbidden place for them.

The people inside were completely isolated inside the base because they had been exposed to radiation before, and they were completely cut off from the outside world, and even their identities were erased.

Time has become completely meaningless to them, and they have been studying the secrets of this place day and night, hoping to one day unravel the curse that seals them on.

As they deepened their research, they found that their knowledge became more and more insufficient, and they encountered more and more things that were beyond common sense.

To make matters worse, their own condition has changed, their bodies become weakened if they are not exposed to the unknown rays for long periods of time, and they find that the interval is getting shorter and shorter.

Unknown rays are like drugs to them, and they know they are deadly but have to rely on them. They don't know what the last moment will be, and it may be as miserable as the end of an addict.

……

I don't know if what Commissar Lu said is the truth or not, but I still want to believe him, because I can feel his true feelings in the process of telling.

I didn't understand what he meant by telling me these things, so I asked, "Commissar Lu, why are you telling me this?" I mean, it's some top-secret stuff after all. ”

He looked at me and said seriously, "We need you." ”

"Need me?" Puzzled, I asked, "What do you need me to do?" What can I do? ”

He replied, "We need you to work with us to solve these puzzles." ”

I then asked, "Is it like working with my grandfather, or with Zhang Bonian?" ”

He nodded.

I continued to ask, "Do they know these things?" ”

"I don't know." He answered the question very dryly, and continued: "Working with your grandfather is mainly to decipher those ancient texts, and cooperating with Zhang Bonian is to gather information about the feather people's legacy, so there is no need for them to know the core secrets here. ”

"I see."

Only then did I understand why my grandfather was also in a state of ignorance about 653, and it turned out that he was just a living dictionary here. As for the matter of asking Zhang Bancheng to collect the relics of the Feather Human Race, I am skeptical about it, because I don't think this kind of thing has to be done by a specific person, even if Zhang Bancheng is super rich, he is not the only candidate.

I pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Political Commissar Lu, you took great pains to find me, and then told me all the core secrets of 653, saying that you asked me to help, I think this must be a big deal, right?" ”

Political Commissar Lu nodded yes, and asked me rhetorically: "Qin Fen, do you remember the last time you took blood?" ”

"Of course I do." I replied that there is no such thing as being drawn blood, and you can forget it.

Commissar Lu continued: "A rare enzyme has been found in your blood, and after research, it has been found that this enzyme can alleviate our current symptoms. ”

"Won't it?" I was a little surprised, and then said, "That's too, isn't it?" How can I have that kind of thing in my blood? ”

Political Commissar Lu shook his head and said, "There will naturally be no good ends, it may be produced in your body after you came into contact with something before." ”

I'm confused, what have I been exposed to?
