Chapter 6: Survivors

Ke Mingde didn't go downstairs, he just ran on the top of the high-rise building, stopping from time to time to retrieve all the useful information through scanning.

"May 6th! Disaster struck suddenly!"

In many places, Ke Mingde saw something similar to a calendar, the date of which varied, but May 6 was the most frequent number.

He had already figured out how the numbers were written through the calendar and some other medium, the same decimal system, and the same ease of writing.

"This word should mean the calendar or the year, the fourth and third year of the so-and-so calendar, May 6, is it according to the year of the change of dynasty?"

The information is too scarce to recognize the words of this civilization, you must know that it is on the earth, the inheritance is orderly, and the interpretation of the oracle bone inscription is also a problem in the world, not to mention that this world is already extremely rich and abstract words.

Ke Mingde found some disks, CDs, and other similar information, which may have recorded video materials, but the entire city could not find a device that could play it.

All complex electronic products seem to be completely damaged, and only some simple electronic products such as electric lights, watches, wall clocks, and semiconductor radios can be used.

But there is only audio, and it cannot be compared with the text, and the meaning of the text cannot be understood.

"Bell...... Clang...... Bell ......"

There was a faint sound of metallic clash in the distance, faint, but it did not escape Ke Mingde's ears.

"Survivors?"

Ke Mingde rushed to find the sound, shuttled through most of the city, and saw a quaint bell tower.

It is a magnificent building made of marble, a square tower, standing on the side of a palace.

With a height of about 60 meters, the tower is somewhat inconspicuous in a city full of buildings, but its luxurious ornamentation and precious building materials are extraordinary.

"A noble mansion or a government office?"

Ke Mingde crossed the street of nearly 100 meters, flew from the top of a building, flew across a width of more than 100 meters, fell to the half-middle waist of the bell tower, and stepped on the corner of the eaves of a beast face.

Break a glass window and enter the bell tower.

The bell tower looks thin and tall, but it is very spacious inside, with no layered structure, only spiraling steps attached to the stone walls on all sides.

In the middle of the stairs is a cylinder space that goes straight up and down, and some metal chains hang down and sway slightly.

This is the pendulum of the bell tower.

Ke Mingde climbed the stairs, one by one, one by one, the connecting rods, precisely combined, without electricity, working neatly.

"Perpetual motion machine? No, it's borrowed from the power of the planet's autobiography, what a subtle structure!"

Ke Mingde was breathtaking.

At the top of the bell tower, there is a bronze hanging bell, which is the sound of the ringing, next to the bell is a metal number plate, behind which there are gears running.

"August 20, 437, 4:20 p.m. ......"

Ke Mingde looked at his watch, a quartz watch he had picked up from the city.

"It's been more than an hour, and no one cares about the error?"

"If the clock had been accurate enough, it would have been a thriving city a year ago......"

A picture came to Ke Mingde's mind, in May 436, the people in the city lived as usual, the upper class spent all day drinking, the poor people supported their families, and everything was in order.

Suddenly, some people "mutated", lost their lives, turned into dried corpses, and attacked all the living people in a rage, and the whole city fell into panic, and all the living people fled in a hurry, filling the highway......

The government reacted quickly by dropping weapons of mass destruction, destroying all electronic equipment and causing cracks in buildings, cracking the ground and preventing residents from escaping......

"What kind of weapons can cause this effect? Cracks in the earth, cracks in strong buildings, but they don't explode, or is it an earthquake? a lot of radiation is generated, and humans are mutated by radiation, and electronics are damaged?"

"It's not right, to be able to produce a bottomless crack six or seven meters wide and deep in the plain must be an earth-shattering earthquake, why didn't the building collapse, but only produced some cracks?"

Ke Mingde walked down from the bell tower and into the building below.

Conceal your breath and weave through the wood-like corpses to check for the remnants of the palace.

"The vases were broken, some of the frames were removed, and the safes were opened...... It seems that someone has sorted out and moved valuables, which means that there are survivors alive?"

Ko Mingde left the bell tower and continued to inspect the city, and at about three o'clock in the afternoon he ascended a tall building to the west of the city.

"What's that?"

This is already the edge of the city, and standing on a high place, you can see the wilderness to the west, and the road is already congested with traffic.

Just to the far west, a flash of light shone right on his face, intriguing him.

Unfortunately, it was too far away for the scan to reach, and Ke Mingde's eyes couldn't see clearly.

Draw a telescope from the space mirror, monocular white, can see the scene 10 kilometers away.

There is no need for a tripod, Ke Mingde's hands are as steady as iron casting, and the round peephole clearly shows the scenery in the distance.

Slowly focus, the light source comes into view.

"Mirrors, no, reflections from solar panels!"

Ke Mingde looked closely, it was a villa in the wilderness, and a field had been cultivated around it, and it was square.

"Survivor!"

Ke Mingde put away his binoculars, strode like a fly, leaping between the buildings like a bird, and after a while, he returned to the place where the RV was parked.

"Thor! Survivor found!"

Thor is only a true qi cultivator, and he can't glide in the air like him, and he can't practice qi concealment at home, and he will be found by a dry corpse, so Ke Mingde left him in the RV in the wild.

Road congestion, simply bypassing the city, driving in the wilderness, exclusive custom-made luxury vehicles that adapt to almost any terrain and still have comfort at the same time.

More than an hour later, Kommin was close to the survivors' camp.

"Bell Bell Bell ......"

There was a sharp metal knock.

"There's a car approaching! there's a car coming from Leighton!"

An old woman stood on a wooden watchtower and struck a piece of I-beam to warn the camp.

"What's going on?"

The people in the buildings ran out, and the people working in the fields heard the warning, left their work behind and ran back to the camp in a frenzy.

"A blue bus, it looks clean, it's almost there!"

The old woman, with her short gray hair and blue-gray eyes, was holding a pair of binoculars to observe the approaching RV.

"Show me!"

A man in the prime of life quickly climbed the wooden sentry tower seven or eight meters high and took over the telescope.

"Not zombies!"

He shouted back to the crowd below.

"That's good!"

"Scared the hell out of me!"

"I'll just say, we're so far away from the city, it's safe enough!"

The gathered people breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a bus, it's heading towards our camp, it's already past the fork in the road, we don't know how many of them there are, everyone take up arms just in case!"

The man in the prime of life called the shots and seemed to be the leader of the group.
