In the apocalypse, people always want to look for hope, but if there is real hope, is it still called the end of the world?

- "The Spirit Cage"

……

In the dim place, the faint light emitted by electronic instruments flashed around it, but it still could not fully illuminate this small confined space.

Numbness, a sensation of numbness that seems to have been suppressed for a long time, reaches the brain, and it is this sensation that means that nerve cells begin to fall out of their dormant state. Then an electric sensation spread throughout his body, and Dunn suddenly opened his eyes as if awakened by a nightmare.

The sensation of a blocked respiratory system reaches his brain, and he senses that he is in a solution, and the desire to survive makes him make a decision in a fraction of a second.

Instinct made him hammer the glass in front of him, or rather, dry burst this container containing himself!

Bang! Bang! Boom!

There was only such a sound around the silence, and after just three fists, the whole piece of glass turned into starchy shards, and the solution inside poured out, and Dunn gulped in the oxygenated air.

The solution of soaking himself flowed out until his knees, and he found that special tubes were inserted in various parts of his body, some of which were attached to the surface of the skin, and some of which were inserted into his body and pierced into the nerves.

He frowned, and unplugged all the hoses one by one in an orderly manner, and only after finding that there was nothing unusual did he begin to look at the place where he was.

With the faint light, he felt that this place was more like a laboratory, and the exquisite instruments, consoles, robotic arms, and design style made the place full of technology, but these furnishings made him very unbelievable.

It's silent, it's dim, it's oppressive, and it seems like no one has been here for a long time.

Dunn walked out slowly, without any scruples about the body that needed to be coded, and suddenly the surroundings lit up, and in the very center of the space, a light and shadow projected out, which was the image of a cute girl with long black hair in a white coat.

Without waiting for Dunn to feel shy, the clear female voice that seemed to carry human feelings sounded:

"Welcome to Miracle Biotech Lab in Shelter III, please enter your identification information!"

As he spoke, a transparent virtual electronic screen rose not far in front of Dunn. He didn't speak, and he didn't estimate the image of himself without clothes, and the words of the projection girl in front of him went through his mind over and over again.

Shelter Three, the Miracle Biotech Lab, identity information, every word felt strange to him.

Especially shelters, who to shelter?

To build it, and who are you evading?

After thinking for a moment, Dunn opened his eyes, and without any further hesitation, put his hand on the virtual screen.

Dunn, a geological prospector, was buried underground during an in-depth geological exploration in 2021 when he suffered a natural disaster.

He still remembers the feeling of despair before he died, it was so clear!

Obviously he is so young, he is trying to save money to buy a house and a car, and he will be able to marry a wife soon, but he is about to be flooded, buried in the soil, and will die.

You must know that for more than 20 years, he has not dared to talk about his girlfriend, and he is afraid of asking for a bride price!

Thinking of this, he was very remorseful.

However, when consciousness disappears, he appears in this strange environment in front of him, where is this?

Rebirth? Through? To the future? Or was he rescued and has been dormant until now?

In short, he needed more information.

The palmprint touches the screen and is read instantly.

Please ...... later

"Identity confirmation, permission change, respected experimental subject No. 9, intelligent housekeeper Xiao A is happy to serve you!"

Hearing this, Dunn frowned, did he turn out to be an experimental subject?

"Turn on the lighting system." He tried to give instructions.

The next moment, all the lights in the laboratory were turned on, and the whole picture of this place was immediately presented in front of him, and the appearance of various instruments looked very advanced, but unfortunately he didn't understand.

The living container placed in the center is perhaps the most important thing in this laboratory, or this laboratory exists because of them, and he came out of one of them.

It appears that a total of ten test subjects were previously stored here, divided into two opposite rows, and he is now at the end of the middle aisle.

It's just that Nos. 1 to No. 7 seem to have been completely destroyed, and it seems that it should be caused by external forces, the cause is unknown, Dunn speculates.

Subject Eight is still soaked in an unknown liquid, and Dunn thinks it looks like an unfriendly-looking super worm, but the label on it is "8-Mutant Spine Gu"; Subject Ten is a plant labeled "10-Semi-Mana Plant".

And his own label is "9-ASH to Life Essentia Human".

The title was unfamiliar to him, but he realized that the people who experimented on him might not have seen themselves as human beings at all, but as specimens of animals and plants.

So, he has more questions, what about those who are experimenting on themselves? Looking at this place, it seems that there has been no trace of life activity for a long, long time.

"Little A, please provide the details of the laboratory." So Dunn sent the command again.

However, the virtual projection calmly replied with a smile: "Sorry, the library has been cleared and cannot provide what you need, Resby!" ”

……

After a long time, when Dunn realized that he couldn't get useful information from the mentally retarded man, he began to search for the supplies available in the lab on his own.

Military backpack, dagger, five Explorer S1 large-caliber pistols, five standard assault rifles, two matching boxes of ammunition, an extended electromagnetic sniper rifle, three combat suits, one of which has been worn on Dunn, he has no habit of being exposed.

After discovering these weapons and equipment, Dunn began to realize that times had changed, and survival did not seem to be an easy task.

The words "shelter", "new human", "test subject", and "high-tech weapon" appeared in front of him, and Dunn began to have a bad feeling.

What made him feel even worse was a "hunger pang" coming from his body, and he needed to eat!

There is no food reserve in the laboratory, in addition to the above information, Xiao Ai also told him that the laboratory is not full of energy, and can only support Miracle Technology's top-of-the-line internal and external transportation technology once.

According to it, this technology is a central element in blocking the shelter from the outside world.

After combining this known information, Dunn had a hunch that the outside world might be full of dangers that threatened the survival of human beings, so there was a shelter.

But he knew very well that he had to go out, whether it was for supplies or energy. He also woke up because the laboratory was running out of energy, and it was no longer able to provide him with the energy he needed to sleep.

So he reached out and picked up the weapon and began to familiarize himself with the new world he had arrived.

In the process, he discovered something more important, his physical fitness seemed to have been inexplicably strengthened for unknown reasons, as evidenced by the three punches that smashed the high-strength transparent container.

The ease with which he picked up his weapon once again confirmed his discovery.

In addition, in the process of feeling his own situation, he also found that he didn't seem to have too many emotions now, curiosity, fear, dazedness, and surprise were all gone, and in his consciousness, he felt that suddenly appearing in this dark and unfamiliar environment should be a little emotional and confused, but he couldn't feel it.

In other words, there is only a sensitive mind that seems to be forever calm and rational, and a very sensitive perception system.

He wasn't worried, or he wouldn't be worried. Rationally analyzing, there may be the answers he wants and the solutions to the problems outside the shelter.
