Mariana Trench, seabed, 20171.224 m.

Chen Tian got up from the driver's seat and left. In the center of the small submersible is a wooden table, which is rarely used in this era, and is a highly prized work of art for collectors, a well-made wooden table that is at least more than 100 years old.

He walked over to the wooden table and opened the wine bottle on it, his hands shaking a little from being overexcited.

He poured the wine into his glass.

The aroma of the wine is overflowing, and the bright red elixir is like blood in the wine glass, cold and lingering.

He drank it all and made up his mind. Looking out the glass window at the vast darkness.

He took out the diary notebook he had in his pocket and quickly wrote it down.

January 14, 2102 is a day to be remembered by all mankind、、、、、、

The pen paused suddenly, and Chen Tian caught a glimpse of light outside the window out of the corner of his eye.

"Undersea - volcano?" He made the first guess and hurried back to the driver's seat. He quickly dismissed his suspicions, and the light was a blinding golden color, incompatible with the undersea-volcano, and the light source was extremely small, almost a dot with a radius of less than a centimeter, and there were no warning signs of danger on the submersible detector.

The golden points of light are extremely abnormal in this space that should be in eternal darkness.

So what could it be? Chen Tian looked at the point of light.

Curious, he drove the submersible towards the point of light.

Little by little, the depth readings on the submersible increased.

This seemingly within reach of the distance seems to never end. No matter how long you travel downwards and forwards, the size of the light spot never changes.

The depth of the dive has reached a staggering 30,000 meters, which is the highest human record for diving to the bottom of the sea since the 21st century, and more than 15,000 meters deep in any previous dive. This submersible, which embodies Chen Tian's life's work, has greatly exceeded the current level of human beings in terms of technical strength.

In the abyss of more than 30,000 meters, the existence of any breath of life cannot be detected, and the living beings are almost completely extinct.

The point of light is still far away.

The far-reaching width was gradually shrinking, until it became just the width that could accommodate the passage of the submersible. Chen Tian tried to calm himself down, and carefully manipulated the submersible to continue diving.

He felt a sudden tingling in his eyes. The angle of view of the point of light seemed to be infinitely magnified in an instant, and it shone around every corner of the submersible. Above, there is still a narrow passage that is dark and does not see the top, and the distinctness of the layers seems to be, as if these are two completely different worlds.

The tingling sensation slowly subsided, and when I saw it again, it was not as dazzling as when I first saw it. In the long light, Chen Tian's perspective was fixed in this golden ocean.

His mouth opened wide in surprise, and he felt like his breathing was almost stagnant.

"Miracle 、、、、、、," he muttered, his vision overwhelmingly golden、、、、、、

Countless ships and planes are gathered on the surface of the sea. The media rushed to report on Chen Tian's diving operation.

"It is reported that Chen Tian's diving depth has reached 30,000 meters, breaking the depth of more than 10,000 meters in human history、、、、、、

2422, March 12. The weather is still a little cold in spring, and most of the pedestrians on the street are still wearing padded jackets. Nan Qiyun couldn't help but shudder, although the physical strength of a soldier was far beyond that of a normal person, but at this moment, wearing only a thin piece of clothing still made him feel very uncomfortable.

After a short time, I came to the museum of human history in the suburbs, the history of the museum is very long, and every brick and tile in front of the courtyard building shows a sense of long-term vicissitudes.

He stretched, as an officer who had just graduated from the Central Military Academy of the coalition government, after surviving four long years of college life, he finally ushered in the first vacation of his adult life. The outside world, which has not been seen for a long time, looks exceptionally beautiful at this moment.

He walked in. The museum records the history of human beings since the emergence of civilization for nearly several thousand years, and civilizations have ebbed and waned over a long period of time, such as ancient Babylon, ancient Egypt, Assyria, ancient Rome and 、、、、、、 once upon a time, the glorious civilizations gradually disappeared under the iron heel of time. As time progressed, his eyes moved to the year 2102.

In 2102, mankind discovered a highly developed prehistoric civilization at a depth of more than 30,000 meters in the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean.

In 2122, in order to solve the problem of the earth's population explosion and the increasingly narrow living space, after consultation and agreement of various countries, a super-era project to change the trajectory of human history was launched. According to this plan, it is expected that within 100 years, a global edifice will be built with the earth's crust as the foundation. The building is divided into six floors, with floors separated by 1 kilometer, from top to bottom into A-F floors, each floor is divided into 20 districts, and the necessary resources for survival on each floor are changed to artificial supply. In this way, the pressure of space survival is relieved.

In 2222, the "Star Tower Project" was completed.

Today, after more than 200 years of development and improvement, the civilization of the edifice has entered an unprecedented period of glory, the original concept of the state has disappeared, replaced by a coalition government representing the common interests of all mankind, unprecedented unity within mankind, and social development has almost reached the so-called "utopian era".

、、、、、、

Although he was already familiar with the content of this paragraph when he studied history before, when he read this magnificent trajectory again, Nan Qiyun's heart was still extremely shocked. Human beings have become the darlings of nature and stand on the commanding heights of the earth's civilization.

When I walked out of the museum, it was getting late. He looked up at the sky, a crimson like fire in the setting sun. He smiled, in the depths of the deep sky, if you remove the added visual effects, what will come into view will be nothing more than a cold compartment over a thousand meters, and the sunset will only be an artificially mapped image.

The journey home seemed to be much longer than it had been, and he walked slowly along the centuries-old highway on the F floor. The sky gradually darkened, and through the faint night, Nan Qiyun saw an oncoming figure not far ahead. Slowly approaching, the night was already dark, but he could only see the general appearance of the other party.

A girl, with a red and white dress, red boots, red gloves, black curly hair in a shawl, and a pair of red glasses, passed by too quickly for Nan Qiyun to pay too much attention to.

What is a little girl doing in the deserted countryside so late?

A gust of cold wind blew from behind, and Nan Qiyun shivered with cold. His face changed suddenly, and there was a sudden smell of blood in the air, faint, but the smell was very obvious.

Nan Qiyun turned her head suddenly, the little girl's figure had not completely disappeared, her figure walked and walked in the distance, until the night completely enveloped her.

Hopefully it's an illusion, he thought to himself.

Most of the buildings on the F floor are still the same as they were centuries ago, and due to the change of environment, most people no longer choose to live on the ground floor, and the proportion of the population on each floor is the lowest except for the A floor, which is the headquarters of the Coalition Government and the garrison. Most of the buildings here are considered relics from the old century. It was late when I returned to District 6, the former site of Shanghai, the city's most prosperous city.

His family lives near Shanghai's iconic building, the Oriental Pearl Tower. When he got downstairs, he heard a bustling noise not far away, and he didn't see what was happening through the building. He walked upstairs and knocked on the door.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

"Qi Yun." Nan Qiyun's parents were very excited.

"Didn't you come back with anything?" His father asked.

Nan Qiyun was lying on the sofa, he hadn't enjoyed the sofa at home for a long time. "Well, the vacation given by the school is not long, and soon there will be an appointment order."

"Have you eaten yet, come and eat, it's not early." Mother hurriedly put away the dishes and chopsticks.

"Hmm." Nan Qiyun slowly sat up from the sofa.

The hustle and bustle downstairs was even louder, and sirens could be faintly heard. Nan Qiyun listened carefully. "It seems to be from the Oriental Pearl Tower," he walked to the window, "is there something big going on today?" ”

Nan Qiyun's father was stunned. "What can be a big deal, it is estimated that it is a small fight between neighbors, this kind of thing often happens in our layer, and there is no way, the poor can't go to the upper class, they are all stranded here, once life is gone, there will be trouble."

"When are you going to move to the upper floor with me, the environment is good over there," Nan Qiyun straightened his clothes, "I'll go downstairs and have a look." ”

By the time they got there, the police had already drawn a large fence around it. Nan Qiyun was huddled in the crowd and was blocked out by the isolation belt. From a distance, he saw the police surrounding a man lying on the ground in a bloodstained man, who was bleeding so much that almost his whole body was soaked in blood. Nan Qiyun looked at the deceased for a long time, and there was something wrong with the way he looked at the deceased, sudden, inexplicably wrong.

A gust of cold wind swept by, and Nan Qiyun was suddenly awakened, wasn't the dead person in the isolation zone the same girl she had met on the suburban highway a few hours ago. The same dresses, the same boots, the same gloves, the same glasses, and the curls of the shawl that had long been stained red with blood. The clothes that were originally red were even more crimson when soaked in blood.

After only a few hours, the original life was gone. Nan Qiyun couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The uproar continued unabated, and people chattered about the cause of the girl's death. Nan Qiyun squeezed out of the crowd.

The street is full of lights, even at night, even on the least developed F floor, it is still a bustling place. In this era, although there is still a corresponding gap between the rich and the poor, and although there are still a few people struggling at the bottom of society, due to the progress and development of civilization, the crime rate has become extremely low in this century, not to mention the extremely cruel and vicious case just now. Nan Qiyun couldn't understand what kind of person would have such a distorted psychology to make such a ruthless move.

When he came home for dinner, he was also restless.

"What's the matter, what's going on outside tonight?" Mother put the dishes in Nan Qiyun's bowl and asked with great concern.

Nan Qiyun took a few bites of rice. "Dead, like murder."

The father, who was sitting on the sofa, put down the newspaper in his hand. "Murder? It hasn't happened in years. ”

"The murderer, have you caught it?" Mother got up and went to clean up the kitchen.

"I don't know, it shouldn't be yet," Nan Qiyun frowned, "Dad, Mom, let's go out less recently, I don't think it's safe lately." He went to the kitchen and helped his mother clean up.

My father was still sitting on the couch and talking to himself. "The security of the F floor, there is a problem again、、、、、、"

The scale of the clock went round and round, and Nan Qiyun slept deeply that night, he had not had such a peaceful sleep for several years, and he had many dreams, and four years of fatigue and hardship were completely released at this moment.

When I woke up, it was already noon. He washed up and went out.

He bypassed the location of yesterday's incident, and he planned to go to the train station and take the bullet train around Area 6. He hadn't returned for four years, and he had almost forgotten what his hometown was like.

The number of people at the train station was much smaller than expected, and he waited in the waiting hall after booking his ticket.

Sitting across from him was an old man. I look very old, and I have a big suitcase next to me. Nan Qiyun couldn't imagine that such a small old man could carry such a large weight.

The old man's face was full of wrinkles, and the gray color of his hair gave people an extreme sense of vicissitudes. He sat tremblingly in his seat, the whites of his eyes showing a terrifying cloudiness, and Nan Qiyun couldn't help but look behind him. Although the old man's eyes looked godless, the direction was always towards Nan Qiyun's back.

The back was empty.

The waiting hall was empty, with only a few figures occasionally shuttling outside the hall.

Nan Qiyun felt a little puzzled, although there were few people here when he first came, he was not free to this extent. It was as if all of a sudden number of people had disappeared.

He couldn't help but think of the case that happened under the Oriental Pearl Tower last night, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

In the distance, there was the shrill whirring sound of the bullet train galloping, accompanied by the prompt sound of the bullet train entering the station. Nan Qiyun got up from his seat, lifted the strap of his backpack, and prepared to enter the station.

Drip drip, drip, drip, drip、、、、、、

It was a rhythmic, regular sound.

Nan Qiyun stopped.

Didi, Didi, Didi、、、、、、

He was horrified. When they were at the military academy, the commanders had explained to them about the timed=bombs used in wars or terrorist acts hundreds of years ago, and that was in their sophomore year, and in order to give them a deeper understanding, they also showed video materials about such weapons. Although I thought it was unbelievable, the sound I heard at this moment was too similar to the sound I heard in the video at that time.

What about the old man? He looked back. I saw the old man jump up from his seat at an incredible speed, holding the suitcase in front of him, and rushing towards him.

Nan Qiyun saw the red dots on the suitcase that kept jumping, and the corners of the old man's wrinkled mouth showed a weird smile. He hurried towards the platform.

The moment the door of the waiting hall behind him closed by itself, the rapid dripping sound stopped abruptly.

With a loud bang, Nan Qiyun's whole person was swept up by the air waves. He looked behind him in horror, and the waiting hall was already full of fire.
