Chapter 30: The Truth (v.5)
The two boarded the tram again, but this time the atmosphere was so cold that only the uneven noise of the tram could be heard due to the damage. No. 28 was still sitting in a seat far away from Wang Kunzhi. Wang Kunzhi looked at the scenes of destruction and death under the gradually climbing tram. Because of the sudden disappearance of that humanoid, it seems that an unprecedented battle has unfolded in the core of the forbidden area. Thousands of monsters were fighting in various places for various reasons, and the cockroach storm was moving slowly hundreds of meters away from this tram, and the army of cockroaches devoured everything that could be reached. Judging by the speed at which they moved, the element that dominated the entire exclusion zone should be no threat to the two of them now.
What's wrong with us?
Wang Kunzhi thought.
There has been a certain change in our thinking.
A monster roughly modified from a canine crosses the track and nearly collides with the train. Wang Kunzhi looked in the direction where it had landed, and found that it was eager to fight another monster of the same species.
"Huh." Wang Kunzhi shook his legs unconsciously.
"By the way?" In order to break the deathly silence in the car, he asked a question that he had already known, "Do we still need to rehydrate?" ”
"Of course I do!" Twenty-eight raised his tone again like an education cub, "How can we live without these?" You think you don't need to? ”
"No, I mean since we can regenerate, we don't need to rehydrate and fall asleep......" He suddenly found that expressing this idea was very laborious for Twenty-Eight, and he would stick to his opinion, explaining to Twenty-Eight that any idea he disagreed with would be playing the harp to the ox.
"Speak," Twenty-Eight continued to taunt, "continue to explain." ”
"Alright, it's okay." Wang Kunzhi, he dragged heavy steps onto the platform leading to the elevator outside the core of the restricted area.
He may be the only human he will ever encounter in the rest of his life. Wang Kunzhi admonished himself, suppressing the churning flames in his heart, he took a breath and looked back at the twenty-eighth.
Twenty-eight did not leave immediately, he saw Wang Kunzhi turn around, open his mouth, and completely unnoticed the monster that was knocked out and crashed straight into the tram.
Wang Kunzhi thought about a lot of things in just a second, and the idea that he was trapped forever in the heart of this fateful forbidden area with the tram suddenly prevailed. It was only a second of delay, but in the middle of it, the monster hit the tram. The constantly shattering tram, the scattered monsters, and the screaming No. 28, which was only less than two meters away from Wang Kunzhi, fell into the abyss together.
Wang Kunzhi hurriedly stretched out his hand to the twenty-eighth, and the twenty-eighth screamed all the way to this Wang Kunzhi, but, in Wang Kunzhi's opinion, at such a long distance, it was impossible for the twenty-eighth to touch the end of his arm.
He closed his eyes. He didn't have any thoughts about Twenty-Eight, and even if he died, he wouldn't feel the slightest bit guilty, and would even be quite happy.
Until he felt a distant pull from the end of his arm.
"Please pull me up, thank you." Twenty-eight pleaded bitterly, terrified.
Wang Kunzhi felt sick to his stomach, and he let go of his hand without hesitation.
Twenty-eight screamed and fell into the abyss hundreds of meters below.
Wang Kunzhi woke up, this was just his fantasy.
No. 28 used a brand new body, followed Wang Kunzhi's arm, and quickly climbed onto the platform.
"What the is wrong with you!" On the 28th, a punch hit Wang Kunzhi's left eye socket, Wang Kunzhi's eyes were in sharp pain, and even his abdomen was turned upside down, he lay on the ground, his right hand unconsciously covered his eyes, he felt a very soft thing protruding from his eye socket, he instinctively went to pull it off, and the more intense pain hit him like the tram hitting the ground.
Wang Kunzhi looked at it with intact eyes, only to see the fragment of that eye lying on the palm of his hand softly.
Fucking miserable, developing glasses. Wang Kunzhi realized this, and the cornea of the eye is the imaging glasses. He picked up the fragments and shoved them into his eyes.
"Are you still leaving?" Twenty-Eight was extremely displeased with the man who had saved him twice in an hour. The elevator door leading to the outside of the exclusion zone has begun to close.
"Holy! Wait for me! Wang Kunzhi couldn't care that his eyes were completely fused with the cornea, and he climbed into the elevator with a roll.
。
。
Wang Kunzhi's imaging glasses were quickly connected to his body and completely recovered. Anger also erupted at the same time, he didn't want to kill the Twenty-Eight so easily, he wanted to kill him slowly, torture him to death, and make him suffer like never before, however, his mind still denied the idea of killing him, in the last days, Twenty-Eight may be the only human he can meet, and his subconscious does not want to kill his only companion.
"13 minutes until midnight." Wang Kunzhi said kindly.
"Then you're going to fucking go!" Twenty-eight put on that sarcastic face again.
A loud scraping and metal clash interrupted the bloody life-and-death struggle, and the door was seized by metal limbs that were intricately constructed like a fusion of steel crab claws and octopus tentacles, with their metal carapaces as hard and soft as tentacles. They are only as thin as an arm, but they are immensely strong.
"If I think it is, it kills your companion." Wang Kunzhi has fled.
No. 28 took a few steps back and chased after Wang Kunzhi like crazy.
"We can get out in ten minutes!" The two escaped from this level of the exclusion zone, closing the gate tightly. At the moment of escape, Wang Kunzhi saw the true face of the monster, it was undoubtedly a human before it was transformed, judging from its upper body and skull, it was a human body, bright silver metal covered its entire body, and some darker metals outlined a perfect skull on the smooth machine body, each bone could be seen clearly, the mandible was divided into three parts, each part could stretch out the head for more than ten centimeters, and spread out in all directions. Its lower body is similar to the lower half of the Scorpion King in the 2023 movie "Under the Mummy: Anubis", except that those scorpion claws are made of metal, and there are more than a dozen metal tentacles glowing blue on its back, hovering behind it.
Equipping the test subjects with these weapons is stupid and unnecessary.
"Isn't it dead, though?" Twenty-eight narrowly escaped death.
"I don't know, it sold its companions." "It looks pretty smart, maybe it's also on our tram, quietly, at least it's modified its body." ”
"Alright." He tried to open the elevator door, but the elevator seemed to malfunction and could not respond anyway.
"How?" Twenty-eight yelled. He knocked Wang Kunzhi away and controlled it himself, but the elevator was still tight.
"This is the first time!" Wang Kunzhi muttered, "I think we should leave, take the stairs, and get as far away from here as possible!" ”
The elevator opened automatically, and as the layers of barriers opened, the elevator changed its position several times and disappeared into the dark tunnel. The tunnel to the core of the exclusion zone is the only part of the matter that can't emit light.
"Did you hear that?" Twenty-eight said tremblingly.
Wang Kunzhi listened carefully, and he heard the buzzing sound of insects merging with metal, which gradually sounded, from far to near.
"Oh my God." Wang Kunzhi was stunned, "So, the next step is ......"
The closed gate then opened, sliding neatly to the sides, and the monster's position was just behind the gate.
"It's gone!" Twenty-eight, who had already raised his weapon, found that there was nothing behind the gate.
"!" Wang Kunzhi roared hoarsely, and he didn't run away from the stairs. "We've got to get out of here!"
"You're right!" Twenty-eight attempts to close the gate failed.
"It's too late!" Wang Kunzhi looked at the sparse star-like points of light in the darkness far away from this tunnel, which were the blue flashes emitted by the mechanical bodies of some mechanical cockroaches, although there were only a small number of mechanical cockroaches, but they were surrounded by thousands of times the number of non-luminous mutant cockroaches, and they were getting closer and closer.
"What are you doing?" Twenty-Eight attempts to shoot into the darkness, and beams of light explode through the dark tunnel, leaving behind a yellow explosion wrapped in scarlet on the periphery. Each ball explosion from hitting those insects was more than ten meters apart.
Wang Kunzhi said, "We are only separated from the city by a wall at this time!" "It's just more than 20 meters above the ground." ”
"It's fine." The window opened, and Wang Kunzhi sighed, "Jump down!" ”
No. 28 was still thinking about saying something, but looking at the cockroach storm that was close at hand, he jumped with Wang Kunzhi to the "window" that was forcibly opened from the wall.
23.51。
。
。
The two men regained their senses after a few seconds, 23.56. The two struggled to their feet and walked across the square.
At the same time, the forbidden area opens every gap, exit. The next few minutes were like the end of the world, as the exclusion zone opened every line of defense that could be isolated, and a storm of countless mutant cockroaches poured out from every crack in the exclusion zone, they broke through their instincts to control reproduction, and the cockroaches divided into countless branches, each of which reached the size of a large swarm of the kernel in a matter of minutes, and continued to multiply, attacking all over the world. And most of the monsters in the forbidden area have found a way out and killed the city.
At 23.59, the entire forbidden area emitted an eerie light, different from the original light, as if it was the same light that came out of the humanoid's body.
"What's wrong?" Wang Kunzhi quickly pounced on the twenty-eighth, and the twenty-eighth asked angrily.
Wang Kunzhi turned his head and looked at the forbidden area.
At 24.00, accompanied by a light that could tear apart the universe, Wang Kunzhi experienced a feeling, but it was not the same as the "real" seen from the light emitted from the human body, it was another feeling, he saw a clearer scene from the light that could tear everything, it seemed that the past, present and future intersected, it was also fleeting, but it left many scars and burned on the subconscious cortex.
Both of them lost consciousness at the same time, as suddenly and comfortably as falling asleep.
When Pandora mastered the wisdom and technology of the gods, what would she do for her race? She will share this technology and wisdom with other creatures, and what will they do when all creatures have wisdom and understand their situation? It was a dangerous army, enough to destroy their Lord.
。
。
As his body gradually recovered, Wang Kunzhi gently propped up his body and watched the forbidden area be replaced by a grand pit, which was the "foundation" of the forbidden area, hundreds of meters underground, and he had never known that there was any structure under the forbidden area in his life.
In 2034, the exclusion zone was built, and before that, there was no city in this place, no one had discovered how it appeared, and there was no information that it was ever built.
In 2034, China's president will still take office after World War III. He was forcibly abdicated three days before the outbreak of the virus, and disappeared along with many leaders and officials around the world.
The year 2034 marks the 26th year of the end of World War III.
In 2034, Wang Kunzhi and all the personnel in the forbidden area will be born, and they only remember their birthdays, but they don't remember how they acquired these world-class knowledge and their childhood.
......
Most of the subjects in the exclusion zone left, and for some unknown reason, they spared the two of them.
Wang Kunzhi looked at the pit tremblingly, and the forbidden area disappeared, at 24 o'clock. It disappeared quite completely, but only in the exclusion zone, and did not even take away a single piece of dirt. The faintly visible points of light in the pit indicate that the various instruments and other things have not evaporated with the forbidden area.
This is the meaning of the non-noun message sent by the exclusion zone.
Clean.
。
。
Wang Kunzhi's mind tried to touch those scars, but only one word was obtained: "doomsday".
The end of all things.
The fifth day after the outbreak of the virus arrived.
