Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Past
Yes, the leader of the expedition appointed by 11 to lead the expedition disappeared along with all the data maps and research reports they had found at that time!
This made the entire expedition team at that time like a bolt from the blue! Originally, they waited in place with a glimmer of hope, and then looked around, but they still couldn't find any trace! It felt like a big living person evaporating in Lop Nur!
As time passed, they also came to understand --- their captain would not be coming back.
11 is gone, and now the captain they relied on for support is gone! The whole team was in a panic! Then a few people decided to find a way to get out first, and then immediately contact the military to search for their captain who disappeared with a body of secrets.
This decision was unanimously agreed by all the team members. But by that time, the number of underground cannibals had slowly begun to get out of control. These team members know in their hearts that even after they go out, some things may not be hidden. But the administrative director at that time repeatedly stressed to them that they must remember the captain's previous words! Keep this place a secret from anyone until you meet the top of the organization!
Well, it's clear that the director and all the team members misunderstood what the captain meant. It is precisely because of their misunderstanding that all kinds of evil consequences have been out of control since then.
After a life-and-death battle with the strange creatures they encountered, the group finally escaped from the ground. But what they never expected was that when they returned to the ground, the entire Lop Nur desert area had become like a battlefield!
Army, armor, tanks, artillery... Even soldiers of the troops, who were heavily armed and wearing gas masks. It was no less than a war between the two countries!
Several people in that team were completely stunned when they saw such a scene! They simply couldn't understand what was going on outside in just a few days. Could it be that just as they were going underground for scientific research, World War III had already broken out on this land?
Of course, the people of the troops also quickly discovered them. The moment they saw them, the soldiers raised their guns one after another, as if they had seen a ghost! Although I don't understand why these soldiers are like this, in the end, it is the administrative director who reacts in a timely manner, and immediately raises his hand to report to his home. After a 'human flesh' examination, this was spared!
Sadly, however, this unusual behavior of the military is still understandable in the eyes of this team of scientists. If you think about it, you can know that when they crawl out of the ground, they must be like hungry ghosts who have escaped from hell. In this desert where there is no one who sees it, they will be on guard. It's no wonder that the soldiers almost didn't get them right.
In this way, after a thorough physical examination, they were received by the top commander of the army at that time. Although they are said to have arranged good medical care and diet, but now that something so big has happened all of a sudden, how can these scientists eat and sleep?
Therefore, they do not pay attention to the way they directly ask to see the 'upper echelons'. They're going to report the accident here! Also hurry up to find the missing 11 and their captain! The main thing is that they have to report to the higher authorities right away that there is a problem with this mission! A huge crisis has been discovered under Lop Nur! Judging from the terrifying creatures they encountered, it was very likely that the town of Guobi was carrying unpredictable and dangerous alien elements! The necessary measures must now be taken to remedy the situation, and this task must not be continued!
Originally, they thought it was quite simple, and they felt that once this kind of solemn and important report was spoken, this senior officer would definitely attach special importance to it. For them, is the present time more than a few lives? It is the life of thousands of residents living around Lop Nur! And if an accident happens at a missed time, it may be that more than these lives will be threatened! When the time comes...... I don't dare to imagine such a situation.
But what they didn't expect was that after listening to their anxious and urgent narration and request, the officer didn't express any surprise. Instead, he pointed to the outside of the car and told them that you don't have to worry about finding people, and the organization will naturally increase its efforts to find people. As for the crisis you're talking about? Then wait until you have enjoyed the scenery of Lop Nur for a few days, and then talk to me about what the real crisis is.
With that, the officer turned and left. And at the same time of leaving, he did not shy away from explaining to the soldiers that these scientists were not allowed to step out of the range of the car for half a step! Violators will be shot on the spot!
People's hearts, it's not easy to be hot, but it only takes a moment to get cold! These top personnel who sacrificed their lives to make great contributions to science and the country all opened their mouths in disbelief after hearing the last seven words spoken by the senior officer! They couldn't believe what they heard. But as the doors of the car were closed and heavily guarded by heavily armed men, the hearts of these scientists began to get colder and colder.
They thought that all of them would become heroes of this country, they thought that their efforts would be exchanged for glory and glory, and they even thought that the eleven people who had silently paid for the Lop Nur Desert for all these years would eventually win the applause and applause of the whole China and even the world!!
But what they never imagined was...... When they got their lives back, they were greeted not with rescue, applause and flowers...... Instead--- 'those who violate the order will be shot on the spot'!!
It's just too much for them to bear! The trauma of the mind is much more deadly than the exhaustion and trauma of the body! Just a few simple words, almost killing them!
Soon, they all fell, one by one. The chill of despair, and the harsh living environment of Lop Nur, almost took the lives of all of them in one fell swoop. Fortunately, one of the senior scholars persuaded everyone: Even if we die, we have to figure out why we ended up like this!! We can't just stop here, and we can't just die! We need to live to see what we are doing wrong!!
Anger, it is this anger of abandonment and betrayal, which has become the motivation for them to live! With the breath that they couldn't even look at when they died, they gritted their teeth and survived! But what if they knew what they were about to see and what they were going to do...... Some people may regret why they didn't die at that time.
In those times, it was different from today. These investigators and scholars really put the glory of the country and the dignity of their intellectuals in the first place. However, the things they experienced at that time made them feel that life was worse than death! It was not only a trampling on their loyalty to the country, but also an insult to the science for which they were willing to give their lives.
But soon, soon they saw for themselves what they had done wrong. A large number of cannibal species crawled out of the ground, and many people around them began to mutate! They have turned into monsters who are not human or ghost! All of them are like genetic mutations, and they become infinitely powerful and invulnerable! The main thing is that they have lost consciousness and humanity! They began to eat people......
When Qin Zhen saw this, he couldn't help but gasp. He couldn't imagine what it was like to be in purgatory! But he managed to calm himself down and moved on to the last part of the fragment.
It's not just humans who have changed, but also the creatures of Lop Nur. They're all being made gigantic by the influence of some alien element! They get bigger, stronger, and scary! Even a small rattlesnake makes the army have to use arms to destroy! That kind of lethality is absolutely terrifying!
During that period, Rob Desert was indistinguishable and miserable! The entire desert suddenly became an infernal hell! A large number of soldiers were sacrificed! Some were bitten to death by monsters, and some were bitten to death......
Those who still leave the whole body behind cannot be buried after they are sacrificed, and they cannot send the body back to their hometown. Instead, it must be cremated on the spot immediately! Sprinkle lime, sprinkle disinfectant, piles of corpses are incinerated! It feels like you're destroying a corpse!
The saddest thing is that the names of these martyrs who died in the desert for the sake of secrecy will be erased from this world forever. There were no flowers, no tombstones, no worship, as if they had never been there. There is no other reason, just because the things here cannot be known to the outside world.
That team of scientists watched the scene of Lop Nur like a human purgatory! Watch batch after batch, piled up with the bones of living people! They get it, they're really wrong...... They shouldn't dig into the secrets that are hidden deep underground! They shouldn't even try to make Zhenguo Jade see the light of day again! They thought that the blood and sweat they and their teammates had worked hard were for the benefit of mankind, but they never thought about it...... In summary...... It turned out to be ruined!
