Chapter 14: Celestials?

In the sea of purple mist, a somewhat hazy light came from a distance. This is a scavenger using a portable flashlight to find useful items.

It's just that the closer you get to the ground, the thicker the purple fog becomes, which leads to the scary low visibility at the very bottom of the sea of mist!

Even if you turn on the high-energy spotlights, you can only see the area within a radius of less than five meters! And Bi Yuwei is just like this, in this environment of extremely low visibility, little by little, searching for anything available.

It is already more than 500 meters away from the high-rise building where she lives, don't look at it as only 500 meters, but Bi Yuwei has memorized all the grass and trees here.

As a qualified waste picker, this is a basic skill. But all the scavengers who can't remember the road have already lost their way in this thick fog and become food for insects and beasts.

However, today's results are very poor, and the surroundings have been searched by Bi Yuwei many times, and there is nothing valuable to be found at all.

If you want to find more valuable parts, such as automotive solid-state high-energy batteries that have not been completely scrapped, and some optical circuit boards that can still be used, you need to go deeper into the foggy area.

But this is not an easy thing for Bi Yuwei. Every time you go deep into the foggy area, it's a game of death!

Although each scavenger is coated with a special grease that repels its own scent, insects are not blind after all. If you hit the insect beast directly in the sea of mist, then 100% of the end result will be an unknown piece of digestive matter, and you will be abandoned on the side of the road.

Just when Bi Yuwei hesitated to go deeper, a tiny instrument she was carrying rang!

"Didi!"

Seeing that the electromagnetic signal detector she had spliced with broken copper and iron sounded, Bi Yuwei immediately became excited.

Her hoarse voice made a few simple babbling sounds to express her excitement.

Being able to detect a signal with her old detector means that there is a working electronic device nearby, which is a terrible discovery.

Because the purple fog is able to block all electromagnetic signals, the communication distance in this sea of fog is severely limited.

At the same time, the spore trees that grow wildly will gradually decompose all the technological items into garbage, so finding working electronic devices is a great reward. And Bi Yuwei's electromagnetic detection equipment is super bad, if she hadn't been close enough to the active electronic device, Bi Yuwei would not have been able to receive the signal. This, in turn, proves that the working electronic device is close enough to her.

"Didi! Drip, drip! ”

As the signal became more and more urgent, Bi Yuwei gradually approached the signal source.

Finally, after searching deep into the sea of mist for nearly ten minutes, Bi Yuwei found a metal barrel that had been smashed into the ground.

The force of the impact smashed the surrounding concrete floor into a depression, and there were scorch marks everywhere.

It's like a meteorite fall, proving that there was an amazing collision here. It's just surprising that this metal barrel is extremely strong, and after withstanding such a big impact, there are only some visible scratch marks, and there is no serious deformation.

And through the transparent glass window on this cylinder, Bi Yuwei found that there was actually a sleeping young man inside.

Seeing that there were people in this cylinder, Bi Yuwei couldn't help but approach curiously.

It was a young man who looked no more than twenty years old, with two eyes, a nose and a mouth, and he was no different from them. But the clothes that this young man was wearing brightened Bi Yuwei's eyes. It was a special kind of clothing that was self-luminous. She had only seen this kind of clothing in the lord's place.

It is said that these costumes, which are different from the linen clothes worn by ordinary people today, were electronic clothing that was popular before the Great Apocalypse. But in the aftermath of the cataclysm, all of these fragile electronic clothes have long since been corrupted by the purple mist. It is extremely rare to be preserved.

Now that she can see someone wearing this rare costume with her own eyes, Bi Yuwei's curiosity can't help but rise.

Bang bang bang!

Bi Yuwei banged the glass of the escape cabin, trying to wake up Lin Chen who was lying inside. It's a pity that all this was in vain. Now Lin Chen has already fallen into the deepest coma, and if there is no coincidence, he will not be able to wake up at all.

Finding that the young man inside was motionless, Bi Yuwei frowned.

She thought about it around the round survival pod and started trying to push it from the side!

However, to Bi Yuwei's surprise, this round cabin is quite light, as if there is no weight at all, even Bi Yuwei's small body can barely push it.

The sound of coo-dong rose and fell, and Bi Yuwei pushed this strange cylinder to the bottom of the building where she lived.

When she reached the gate at the bottom of the building, Bi Yuwei pressed a special watch she was wearing, and a mechanism hidden at the top of the building activated.

Buzzing!

After about a minute, a rope descended from the top of the building.

This seemingly ordinary but extremely practical device is a lift that Bi Yuwei has modified herself, a simple machine that can help her lift those heavier parts to the roof of the building. Otherwise, with her small body, she wouldn't be able to bring too many parts on it.

After checking it, Bi Yuwei sent the rope to a place where the escape pod could be fixed, then circled the rope around her waist, and then started the elevator again.

Buzzing~

The sound of the old motor sounded again, and the rope quickly lifted up, pulling Bi Yuwei and the cylinder up.

Just as Bi Yuwei was leaving, a monster that looked a bit like a cockroach that had been magnified thousands of times appeared at the bottom of the building. As soon as it comes here, it smells everywhere. As if looking for something.

It's just that its poor IQ can't make it understand the reason for the sudden disappearance of the smell. So after searching for a while, this insect beast, which was extremely terrifying for scavengers, disappeared into the fog again.

Bi Yuwei, who didn't know that she had escaped, had already reached the top of her own building. The building is about 32 stories high, with gray exterior walls throughout, and the whole building is in a T-shape, and it was a two-staircase, four-family residential building before the end of the world.

In the aftermath of the cataclysm, Biyuwei's father converted it into a post-apocalyptic fortress. It is also relying on this fortress that Biyuwei can survive without relying on anyone.

It's just that most of the equipment in this fortress has long been shut down due to lack of power and maintenance, and only the small processing workshop on the top floor can still rely on the weak solar power to drive it.

After getting out of the elevator, Bi Yuwei deftly unloaded the circular cabin, and then took a closer look.

Just under the fog, the visibility was very poor, and Bi Yuwei couldn't see some of the signs on it clearly. Now out of the fog, she quickly saw some familiar characters.

"Jinwu No. 6 Colonial Ship Escape Pod"

β€œMade in China!”

Seeing this familiar text, Bi Yuwei covered her mouth with her little hand in some surprise.

Golden Crow Six, the name she is familiar with. Because when she was a child, her father often told her the story of the ship.

Originally, Bi Yuwei's father had already taken his wife and children to escape to the paradise of mankind - the Garden of Eden on this ship of the stars. But in the end, because of the sudden change in the world, the spaceship left most people behind and left the earth early.

Obviously, this spaceship has gone to a distant alien planet, but why did he find the escape pod of this spaceship in the sea of mist? And who is in this escape pod?

With this question in mind, Bi Yuwei continued to think:

Could it be that it is prehistoric humans before the Great Apocalypse who are sleeping inside!

Thinking of this, Bi Yuwei was not only a little excited. The cataclysm begins, and civilization dies.

For these scavengers who have lost human civilization, it is the humans before these cataclysms that they can be called the masters of the earth.

Out of respect for their ancestors, they respectfully call those who go to the starry sky celestials.

In their eyes, the human beings of that era created the greatest civilization and made an ark that could cross the sea of stars.

After the cataclysm, human civilization was completely weakened, and everyone was just surviving.

But generations change, and humanity is reborn.

With enough time, human civilization will rise again.

But the lost knowledge will forever be remembered in history.

Today, however, a living fossil library will awaken, and Biyuwei will likely gain a lot of knowledge and technology from this ancient man about the pre-cataclysmic world. This can make Biyu Weile broken.
