Chapter Seventy-Eight: The New Human
We waited for three days, but we didn't hear from the cave.
I was ready for the worst outcome, but when the reality really came, the sorrow and sorrow in my heart couldn't be controlled at all. Among the people who went down to the cave were my friends Liang Jiwu and Li Yang, and the thought that they might never see them again in this life made my heart wrench.
I understand that death brings far more pain and suffering to the living than to those who are about to die. As soon as they die, they will return to that world with their legs and feet, and they will love whoever they love, but they will leave their relatives and friends to continue to live and grieve for their deaths.
I stayed in the building with the copper lock. The huge freezer hides a lot of food, and we compete in the kitchen to be self-sufficient. Until the fifth day, when a week was about to pass, the cave was still quiet and there was no news.
We had to face the reality that they were all wiped out and all dead.
That night, after eating with Copper Lock, we stood on the balcony on the second floor and looked down on the entire mountain range. I asked what to do with the copper lock. He was silent for a long time, and then said slowly, "I want to go home." What about you? ”
I took a big puff of cigarette, then popped the cigarette butt out of the balcony, coughed and said, "Don't rush to go, help me tomorrow." ”
Copper locks look at me.
I rubbed my nose and said, "I'll go down the cave tomorrow." ”
"Damn, you're crazy?"
I smiled lewdly: "I'm not crazy, I'll just go down and have a look." Don't worry, I'm not going to be as desperate as they are, I'll come back a few meters down to see what happens. ”
"What can you see about that?" Copper Lock persuaded me.
I looked at the dark hole in the courtyard and said, "If I leave like this, I will not feel at ease for the rest of my life." ”
The copper lock saw that I was so resolute, so he didn't say anything.
Early the next morning, we moved the equipment out of the warehouse. I changed into an army-green field uniform, wore a headlamp, and came to the cave with a flashlight and a military shovel. Copper Lock picked up a gas mask and handed it over: "Do you want to bring it?" ”
I hesitated: "Forget it, they didn't bring it with them." Besides, I'll just go down a few meters, see and come back. ”
I slid slowly down the edge of the mound to the mouth of the cave. Shine a flashlight in it, it's fucking dark. I held on to the hole and slowly poked my foot in, and it was obvious that I could feel a change in temperature, a lot lower.
I took a deep breath, learned from Li Yang's tragedy, and said to the copper lock: "If I can't come back in two days, you can deal with it yourself." ”
The copper lock picked up a piece of dirt and smashed me: "Can you do it, don't pretend to be there if you don't have the guts." ”
I was a little hot-skinned, so I ignored him, held on to the hole, and slowly went down. I saw that the entrance to the cave was not big, but in fact, after entering, I found that I had more than enough to turn around. The light was poor, so I leaned against the side of the cave wall, put my feet on the stones, and shone my flashlight down.
In the depths of the cave, there was a faint white mist-like thing, and the light was almost impenetrable, so I couldn't tell what it was.
I regret it a little, I knew that I was wearing a gas mask. They were all wiped out, probably because they were stunned by some inexplicable gas. But now that I have come out of the clouds, I am a little unwilling to think of the contemptuous eyes of the copper lock. Comfort yourself, go down a few meters, and go back almost meaningfully.
It is not a difficult task to climb down, there are many stones on the edges, and most of them are very strong. I reached out with one foot and stepped on it, and then lowered the other. Soon went down to a place of three or four meters, and when I looked up, the entrance of the cave was misty and seemed to be covered with a layer of white veil, and I couldn't see clearly.
I took a deep breath, there was no pungent smell around me, and the air quality was acceptable. Look down and see nothing. I felt an inexplicable chill, and my heart was beating harder and harder.
After some hesitation, I decided to continue exploring. After climbing a little more, the hole began to get narrower. This hole is probably in the shape of a trumpet, large at the top and small at the bottom, and the further down it goes, the more cramped it becomes.
At first, I didn't realize it, but now because of the shrinking space, I suddenly have a claustrophobia. I can't see the entrance of the cave above, and I can't see the bottom of the Hessen below, and I'm stuck in the hole, and it seems that I'm the only one left in the entire world.
I gasped for air, and in the silence and darkness, my voice was very thick and harsh, which only strengthened my fear.
Forget it, it's almost done, it's time to go back.
Thinking of this, I was about to climb up, but I was so unlucky for some reason, and suddenly stepped on the air. The stone was already loose, and as soon as I was nervous and strengthened, the stone fell down, and there was no root under my feet, and my body suddenly lost its balance and fell vertically along the hole.
This change came so suddenly, and by the time I realized that things were not good, I didn't know how many meters had fallen. My mind was frightened and blank. When the body maintains its balance, the whole body goes limp, and the heart beats as if it is about to jump out of the cavity.
The pride when he first came down disappeared with the cold sweat, and the military shovel and flashlight were lost. In the dark, the only light source was the faint headlamp on the head.
If I want to climb up again, I feel that my limbs can't lift my strength, and I can't control it! I was so scared that I was about to pee, and I was going to die here for no reason, and I was not wronged. I took a deep breath and barely calmed down, this should be a nervous disorder after the start, slow down, don't worry.
After waiting for about a minute or two, my hands finally regained consciousness, and I trembled and touched the stones, slowly climbing up the rock.
At this time, I don't know if it is a psychological effect, I suddenly smelled a peculiar smell, floating in the air, a bit similar to the damp smell of mushrooms. I was so scared that I kicked on the soles of my feet and wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. But this kick out of the road, it felt as if I had stepped on something.
The reason why I was puzzled was because the touch of my feet was soft, and there seemed to be a depression when I stepped on it.
I suddenly realized something, cold sweat soaked down my forehead, could it be ...... Corpses, right?
I leaned against the cave wall, braced myself up, and barely looked down. It was very narrow underneath, oozing some mist of light, and then there was endless darkness that felt very long, as if it had reached the ground.
At my feet, there was a faint hint of red, and I didn't know what it was. I tentatively stepped on it with my foot, and it was soft, like a piece of clothing.
I'm a little confused, none of them are wearing red clothes, how could this appear here for no reason?
I hesitated for a long time, but I climbed down and came to the red one. The red mass was half in the dark cavern below, half caught in the cracks in the stone. I pulled the stone and soil twice with my hands, and then I realized that the red color was indeed a cloth-like thing, stuck in the deep cracks of the stone, and it was almost impossible to take it all out without the tools at hand.
For this to happen, it has to go through a very drastic geological transformation, and this red thing may have been in the stone for a long time; If this thing has just appeared, it means that the cave has recently undergone a large-scale collapse, which has changed the topography.
But neither of these possibilities makes sense at all. If it appeared here very early, then what did these people in the cave never mention? This piece of red, with a large area, is like a large blood stain, which is very conspicuous. Unless they are blind, or deliberately concealed. Deliberate concealment is completely unnecessary.
If this red thing only appeared after Liang and Li Yang went down to the cave, then it would be even more unreasonable. Copperlock and I have been guarding the outside of the cave and have not found any signs of collapse and collapse in the cave.
I feel like there's a lot of fog here, and there's a lot of mystery. I simply calmed down, I buckled the stone hard, and finally pulled out a trace of red edge, and dragged the next one with my hand.
In my hand, with the help of the light of the headlamp, it was a red spike-like thing composed of dozens of bright red threads. Leng Buding looked like a tuft of long red hair.
I can't tell what the hell this is.
Looking at it, I suddenly felt a palpitation, held it tightly, and began to crawl out. This time it went well, but I don't know how long it took, but the hole finally appeared on the top of my head.
Looking at the hole, my first reaction was not joy, but a fear for no apparent reason.
I vaguely felt that outside of this cave entrance, it was probably not the world realm where I existed, as if I had crawled into another terrifying space.
When I came out, the wind was cold, the sky was blue, and the brass lock was looking at me dumbfounded. At that moment, I burst into tears, and, finally back.
The copper lock helped me out of the hole, and I collapsed on the ground, wiping the sweat from my head, and the feeling for the rest of my life was so refreshing.
I looked at him, Copper Lock's face was a little pale, his expression was very unnatural, and he looked a little weird. Suddenly, I was clouded and asked what was wrong with him.
Copper Lock was silent for a moment and said, "I found my sister-in-law's body." ”
"What?" I almost jumped.
"Tell me about you first, what did you find?" He asked.
I stood up, he helped me, and we went back to the living room. I threw the red tassels I picked up from the cave on the coffee table: "It's so hanging and dying inside." I picked up something like this. ”
The copper lock picked it up and looked at it, and asked suspiciously, "What is this?" ”
"You ask me?" I laughed: "How can I know the Tao." ”
I took a sip of water to stabilize my emotions, and then I told the story of what happened in the cave and what I thought about it.
The copper lock listened quietly, and did not say a word during the whole process. When I finished, he looked up at me with a strange look in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
Copper lock said: "I suddenly had an idea, which is more incredible, and it should be regarded as a joy." ”
"You say."
Copperlock stood up, took two steps, and said, "This hole did collapse after they went down. ”
I exclaimed, "How is that possible? We're out there all the time...... How could a collapse happen without earthquakes and explosives? ”
Copper lock waved his hand and said, "Listen to me." This hole, perhaps, can collapse on its own. ”
I stared at him with wide eyes.
"Every time it collapses, it causes a change in the direction and location of the hole." He continued.
I said, "No, the entrance to the cave has been in that place for hundreds of years, and it hasn't been moved." ”
"Yes, the entrance of the cave has not changed, but the tunnel in the cave that leads directly to the underground has changed from time to time, changing the original landform and terrain, otherwise it is impossible to explain the appearance of this red thing. This hole feels like a magic door to me, and every time I open it, the world behind it will be different. I made an extremely bold assumption, and Li Yang and the others successfully entered behind this door and found the secret in the cave. When they wanted to come back, they had to come out of this door again, but when they walked out of this door, that is, they climbed up from the bottom of the cave, but found that the world outside the cave was no longer the world world when they came. ”
I looked at the copper lock, chilled, and swallowed. No wonder I had that strange thought when I was about to crawl out of the hole.
I retorted weakly: "That old man and Shi Dakai ......"
The bronze lock looked at me meaningfully: "It may not be the old man and Shi Dakai who came out, they themselves may have passed through that magic door to other worlds." ”
"Who's that?" I asked.
"Maybe it's their shadow." The copper lock is really not amazing, and it is endless.
I shuddered a little and didn't want to continue the discussion and asked him what was going on with his sister-in-law. "After you left," said the Copper Lock, "I couldn't stay any longer, so I walked around the building again, and found a basement. ”
I followed him into the basement, which was indeed very hidden, and followed the steps to the bottom. Before I could go in, I smelled a pungent rancid stench that almost didn't smoke me down.
"Be prepared." The copper lock said, and turned on the light casually.
It's okay if you don't open it, the scene in front of you is really shocking.
The basement is small in size, dimly lit and somewhat eerie. A woman was hanged from the ceiling in the middle of the basement, her feet dangling in the air, motionless, her head drooping straight down, and her neck at a strange ninety-degree angle, her hair falling all down, and her body very stiff. When I saw her, I was stunned, it was my sister-in-law.
She had been dead for a long time, and her body was already decomposing and emitting a foul smell.
"Her death was probably because of this diary." Brass Lock pointed to an old-fashioned notebook spread out on the table.
Copperlock said he was able to discover the basement because he smelled such a foul smell. When I waited down, I was almost frightened to see the corpse. He barely managed to hold his mind, feeling that it was strange. Holding back his fear, he checked around, only to find an open notebook on the ground.
The notebook had been thrown on the floor, almost out of pieces, and other things in the basement, such as tables and cups, had been badly damaged.
He picked up the notebook and flipped through it, shocked and made a deference.
This notebook should be the reason for my sister-in-law's suicide. After she saw it at the time, she was so angry and angry that she smashed the basement in a fit of anger, and in addition to being sad and angry, she used the radical method of suicide to end her life.
I picked up my notes and was about to look at them, when the copper lock pointed out: "Let's go out and see, it's really uncomfortable here." ”
I sat on the sofa in the living room, flipped through my notes, and thought of a hanged female corpse below.
This notebook has no beginning or end, and there is no one to say the full text, but it only records some personal feelings, and it looks like a madman's diary. Although there is no name and surname, I can still guess that it was written by Ma Weiguo, and the full text of the appendix below:
Finally finding a way to be reincarnated freely, I am no longer afraid. However, there are still shortcomings, and I want a descendant.
The mode of reproduction determines the existence of the population.
I'm testing myself, improving the mysterious bloodline in my body, and breaking through the shackles that fate has put on my neck. Sexual reproduction is the future of the community.
It was a great and sacred moment when she gave birth to a child. This is a groundbreaking step! Reincarnated people have finally broken through the shackles of being unable to reproduce sexually and have the first offspring to inherit their genes.
After reincarnation from life to life, I have always been firm in my heart that only reincarnation is the future of mankind! Just imagine, if Newton and Einstein were reincarnated, their minds would have been passed on from generation to generation, there would be no unchallengeable field in science, and human beings would be much more advanced than they are now, and they would live a better life.
I'm doing all kinds of experiments with my own children, I want to change the human bloodline, I want to change the world.
If humanity continues as it has done so at present, it will soon face a catastrophe from which it will never recover.
He turned out to be immortal, and at first he really almost fooled him by pretending to be his grandson. (It should be said that Liang Zhuwu is five)
His serum was extracted and is being analyzed. If we combine his immortal genes with my reincarnated genes, then a new human will be born.
Humanity is in dire need of change, and a better population is needed!
I'm creating new humans.
