Chapter 63: Letters for the Future
"Pop ......"
At the moment when the door opened, a corpse with a glimmer of light fell to the ground, falling directly to the ground, and the skull rolled out, rolling down a few times before being smashed into pieces.
"Eva, give me a report on the amount of radiation here." Levi said.
"3452 Roentgenium/R, seven times the limit of what a human can bear." Inside the vault, the electronic sound sounded.
"And where it was before?"
"2674 Roentgenium/R for the production area, 1633 Roentgenium/R for the office area, 1257 Roentgenium/R for the condensation tower area, 712 Roentgenium/R for the discharge wastewater......"
Roentgenium is a unit of radiation exposure and does not necessarily correspond to radiation dose. He didn't quite understand what this unit meant, but he just needed to know how many times it was beyond the limits of humans.
He didn't guess wrong, the reason why the Sneakers didn't dare to enter the cave was because of the radiation, outside the cave, the radiation level was not high, and they were able to live normally, and as long as they entered the cave, that is, the giant chimney-like condensation tower he saw for the first time, the radiation amount would reach more than twice the limit that humans could bear.
Levi stepped into the shelter.
Fanatic Art absorbs the radiation from the remains, and then Levi also discovers that the remains are leaning directly against the gate, and as the gate opens, the remains fall down, allowing Levi to find it.
"Harley McCass......" Levi slowly read the name, it was a metal badge on the corpse, the handwriting on the badge had become illegible over time.
He is what Eva said before, the last person in charge of this nuclear power plant.
The power of time is terrifying, and the orange hazmat suit on his body has fused with his wreckage, and the hazmat suit seems to be about to melt, taking on a semi-liquid shape like asphalt.
The word "watch" appeared to be written on the ground with an electric welding torch, and Levi began to search for the wreckage that had fused with the chemical protection suit and the ground, and sure enough, he found a watch-like object that emitted a glimmer of light.
Levi cleaned the dirt from it, the watch seemed to be made of some special metal, the strap had been completely corroded, but the whole watch seemed to be intact, as if the power of time had not worked on it. He studied it a bit and pressed the only switch on his watch.
Suddenly, a pillar of blue light rose from the top of the watch, and the face of a white man appeared in front of Levi's eyes as if it were a projection, he seemed to be sweating, as if he was trying to endure some pain, but smiling, as if he was talking to Levi across hundreds of years.
"Hello, sir, or madam, or rather, or sexual minorities, if you could see this, I would have died a long time ago, take this watch, I will give you the last permissions, and you will get the highest privileges for the entire nuclear power plant......"
Levi froze in place, looking at the white man in the projection, he seemed to be enduring some pain, even across these countless years of projection, Levi could see that he was before he died, it seemed to be his last words.
"Sorry, I'm running out of time, listen up. I was the leader of the Doomsday Rescue Team of the International Rescue Organization, and I was the last team to go to the Spoke Island to rescue after the apocalypse. Everything you want to know, you can know it in the database through my permission, listen to me......"
The man in the projection seemed to pause again, gasping for breath, his face already red abnormally.
"There are 10,000 tons of information in my watch, which contains almost all the languages, cultures, and basic knowledge of all human races...... Courtesy of Eva Artificial Intelligence...... I want you to take these out...... At least they can't be cut off in our generation......"
"International Rescue Organization Doomsday Rescue Group F, all 53 people were killed, 0 survived, and the team leader Harley McCasse finally reported ......"
The projection came to an abrupt halt, and he looked at the watch, which began to have a computer-like interface, with various programs and files giving him a familiar and unfamiliar feeling.
He tore off his inner lining and tied the watch to his wrist.
Levi didn't speak, there was silence, the remains seemed to have completely merged with the chemical protection suit and the ground, this projection from hundreds of years ago, like the last epitaph.
There doesn't seem to be a robot cleaning here, so it's extremely messy and disgusting.
He looked at the entire refuge room, there were a total of 26 remains, and there were no 53 people that the team leader said at the end, maybe some of them had died before they even had time to hide here.
Walking over, sure enough, there was one such watch in each of the remains, and Levi stepped forward and picked up those watches one by one.
He thought about his past life, and after graduation, he was admitted to the forest firefighter and became the last line of defense to protect the forest. But the forest he was going to protect was still on fire, and the flames that stretched for kilometers burned everything he had to protect, and he burned himself.
Like this rescue team, these watches, which have survived thousands of years and are still in good condition, seem to be the last proof that these people have left in the world.
He clicked on a watch, and a voice rang out in the lonely, silent sanctuary.
"I don't want to die, I want to live, my stomach hurts, I keep nauseating, how long can I live, I really want to eat Grandma Orr's pizza downstairs. - (Portuguese)"
Levi was silent and continued to press the other watches, one after the other.
"Brother who saw my message, you should colonize the aliens now, can you send your alien sights and photos into my coffin when the time comes. - (in Russian)"
"If I had the chance, I'd like to drive my greyhound again, with a full box of hot dogs in the trunk, aimlessly wandering around the Rocky Mountains. Ah, I remember, my greyhound was shot by me before I came here. Oh Shet, I'm going to find a way to buy it back. ——(English)"
"Elena, I love you, I'm sorry, goodbye. - (in Finnish)"
"Fez, your dad is a hero who saved the world. ——(English)"
"Hey! Knock knock! I'm not dead yet! Somebody sealed me in this iron box, help me open it. ——(English)"
"Is your world at peace in the future? I want to see a world without war, where people of all colors, all races, all faiths can live under the same sun.
"Is there the finale of "New Cosmic Warrior", please tell me about the follow-up plot. ——(English)"
"Cass, in fact, I am a real cosmic warrior, the embodiment of light, hahaha, whether it was or is, I have saved the world. ——(English)"
"Please please please donate my estate to the Penfania Church and thank them for raising me, if they still exist. - (Italian)"
"I want to ask, do you have mechs in the future? Is there a Titan that can have self-awareness? - (German)"
"Ah, it's a pity, I haven't tried to climb Mount Everest with my bare hands, so my title of the world's No. 1 adventure king was taken away by my juniors. ——(English)"
One by one, the voices from a hundred years ago were awakened, but unexpectedly, they did not complain much, as if they did not feel the danger of their lives, and even seemed to be joking in the last message they left, thinking about life and thinking about the future.
Until, Levi dotted the card under the watch.
"Sorry, we've done our best, we've lost sight of the road, I'm sorry...... - (in Austrian)"
Levi: "......"
At this time, it was as if an endless heaviness was pressing on my body. The last words of the last twenty or so people of their rescue team in this shelter, and the heaviness of the entire civilization.
"Inte Nayur, it will definitely come true. – Anton Castro (Spanish)"
Levi lowered his head and looked at the last watch.
"I'm sorry, we can only go so far, in the future, you must eat well, study hard, you all have to be like the sun. ——(Chinese)"
For some reason, he felt a throbbing pain in his heart, he looked at the rusty shelter that had not been cleaned by robots, and sat on the ground, surrounded by more than twenty skeletons that seemed to merge with the surrounding objects, but it didn't make people feel any gloom and fear, and it seemed to be full of light.
But in this world, there is only a black tide and ruins, and everywhere you look, everything is dilapidated......
