It takes about 1,000 hours to learn an unfamiliar human language normally, and about 2,000 hours to master it to the level of proficiency in your native language.

Lin Ze has a strong learning ability at the moment.

Strengthened by the Heavenly Gate forty times, his ability to comprehend and think has reached a level beyond that of mortals.

This makes Lin Ze's learning speed at the moment dozens of times faster than that of ordinary people.

On the first day of learning World Language No. 3, you will already be able to get started, on the second day you will be able to speak, read, and write proficiently, and on the third day, you will have mastered it to a level that is not inferior to your mother tongue.

In this learning process, Lin Ze gradually gained a preliminary understanding of the historical, humanistic and social environment of the No. 3 world.

Just like Lin Ze had guessed before, before the destruction of the human civilization in this parallel world, its level of technology was about the same as that of the main world, and it was already a mature industrial civilization.

The total population has reached 10 billion, and the productive forces are developed, with a prosperous economy and culture.

It is also in a stage of the rise of many industrial countries in the world, constantly moving forward in competition and cooperation, looking forward to the existence of the sea of stars.

Before the destruction of civilization, there was nothing unusual in all parts of the world, and people lived and produced as usual.

Then destruction struck one day eight years ago.

An unknown virus has emerged and enveloped the whole world.

Government, army, factories, schools.

All facilities were attacked.

Some of the physically weak people died directly, but more people lost their reason and wisdom and began to attack others around them like crazy, the infected people continued to devour each other, and a small number of people who were born immune to the virus were also killed by chaos.

The order of the whole society has completely collapsed in just a day or two, and there are people everywhere who are calling for help, but everyone is already unable to protect themselves.

A small number of lucky people who are immune to the virus survive by staying away from the crowd.

Some secret forces that were themselves in the top secret area, isolated from the outside world, survived.

There are also many survivalists who are always thinking of the apocalypse, relying on the weapons and supplies they prepared in advance, they hid in a safe area where the virus could not be infected as soon as they found something wrong, and survived.

But more people have died in the turmoil, and more than nine out of ten have died in the turmoil, and those who are still alive have become a real minority.

Then as time passed, the remaining survivors, due to disease and shortages of supplies, and many remnants of zombies were still dying.

Later, even the zombies starved to death, and there were very few survivors.

The above is the truth that Lin Ze restored based on the news he found, combined with the last city ruins.

"An empty world, at the moment, it is estimated that there are only some permanent self-circulating apocalyptic survival bases, and there are still some living people."

After Lin Ze learned about the events that happened in this world, he felt a little sorry for the dead people in his heart.

There is a kind of sigh that hurts like that.

There are still living people in this world, but the civilization in this world is on the verge of destruction.

After sighing, Lin Ze began to analyze calmly again: "A virus with a high lethality rate and a short incubation time appeared all over the world at the same time, and almost instantly destroyed the order of the entire human society, this must not be a natural virus attack, it can only be man-made." ”

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be so efficient, so accurate."

"At best, it's a local organization or individual doing this, and at worst, it's actually a blow from an alien civilization, an efficient means of cleaning up humanity."

"Is there some advanced civilization hidden in this world, watching the situation here?"

Thinking of this, Lin Ze began to act.

He began to follow the plan to find the world's large construction companies, looking for those permanent self-circulating apocalyptic survival bases that still exist from their databases, hoping to find out the truth of the matter through the remaining living people.

If the locals created this catastrophe, the matter was still under control.

If it is an advanced civilization that can sail across the stars, then Lin Ze will give up this world and leave without saying a word.

No matter how low the combat power of this civilization is, it is no different from a god for a human civilization that has just entered the industrial society for a few years.

It is foolish for mortals to try to challenge God.

——

May 2nd.

The 7th day of Lin Ze's discovery of World No. 3.

Previously, Lin Ze followed and observed Yue Sheng, a master of heaven and man, for a long time, and in this process, he began to explore the coordinates of another world on a large scale, and finally lost it, but time passed unconsciously in this process.

A canyon nestled between the mountains, where Lin Ze's drone cruises.

"If the information is correct, this underground should be a permanent self-circulating apocalyptic survival base."

Lin Ze stared at the pristine scenery below that looked indistinguishable from other places, and whispered in his heart.

This canyon is located on the outskirts of the city, and according to the information found by Lin Ze in the past few days, there is a survival base built by a wealthy man named Fei Qing in this canyon.

Through the perspective of the drone, you can clearly see that in an open position in the canyon, a manor that looks extremely magnificent is being built.

It's just that this manor has been neglected and has now begun to become dilapidated because of the weather.

And the doomsday survival base that Lin Ze is looking for is under this manor, if Fei Qing is still alive, he should live in this survival base below.

The drone walked around the manor, but saw no obvious access to the underground area, and no signs of human activity.

Lin Ze didn't care, it was so dangerous outside, it was normal for the other party to stay underground for the past eight years.

He took the construction drawings of the underground survival base, calculated the coordinates of the underground using the Heavenly Gate, and then opened the underground door.

The next moment, Lin Ze saw a dim underground space.

This is the permanent self-circulating survival base, which has established an air circulation system that can supply human survival in imitation of the space environment, and there is also an energy room that provides food sources such as a soilless cultivation room breeding base, which can generate electricity by itself and can also be connected to the power supply outside the survival base.

In addition, a large amount of food, daily necessities, fuel, maintenance parts and medicines, living and entertainment areas are also stocked in advance.

If they don't get seriously ill, a small number of people will survive here for decades without any problems at the end of their lives.

According to the analysis of the construction drawings, this is the gate of the survival base, behind a thick steel wall, and then the drone begins to travel through the base, looking for Fei Qing who lives here.

In the end, Lin Ze was disappointed, Lin Ze did find Fei Qing who lived here, but the other party was already dead.

It can be seen from his death that the other party committed suicide by swallowing a gun.

There was also a suicide note beside him.

"In this ruined world, there is no hope, and I will leave this world with those compatriots who have died."

A short line of words, with scribbling and despair.

Fei Qing didn't commit suicide because of a shortage of supplies, there are still a lot of supplies in this doomsday survival base.

He felt hopeless about a world that had lost the vast majority of his compatriots, so he chose to commit suicide.

Lin Ze sighed, then left here, and chose to go to the next survival base to open the box.

Soon, Lin Ze did the same and found a second survival base.

But it's a pity that in this survival base, Lin Ze didn't find anyone.

I don't know if the owner of this survival base didn't manage to hide in this safe area before the virus broke out, or if the other party couldn't bear to go out alone and then died outside.

Third, fourth, or fifth survival bases, this is still the case.

It wasn't until the sixth survival base that things finally changed a bit.

The drone flies in the sixth survival base.

Soon, Lin Ze found traces of human activity, it was a leftover self-heating food box, judging from the traces, it was not very long, just a few days.

The unboxing was successful.

Lin Ze whispered in his heart.

This proves that Lin Ze's initial thinking of finding survivors was not wrong.

"Who are you? Why break into my house, don't let your drone come over, or I'm going to shoot. ”

The movement of the drone was particularly conspicuous in this quiet underground space, and when it flew near the living area, Lin Ze heard a stern warning voice from a man.

After the spiritual perception diverged, Lin Ze saw a middle-aged man who was heavily armed, and the other party was in strong shape.

Wearing armor and holding an automatic rifle in his hand at the gate of the living quarters, Lin Ze's drone will shoot once it flies past.

Behind him, there was also a young and beautiful young woman, and a lovely girl who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, judging from the eyebrows, it should be the daughter of this young woman.

This age should have been eight years ago, when I was four or five years old, I was taken by my parents to hide in this survival base and avoid the turmoil.

At this moment, the young woman and the girl were also nervous with guns in front of the gate.

Seeing them, Lin Ze's expression on his face was relaxed, and a smile appeared.

He had seen too many deaths and tragic situations before, and now seeing this family that survived in the apocalypse, he couldn't help but feel healed.

This is the little hope that arises in the midst of destruction.

The family was able to survive the apocalypse, perhaps because the family was able to support each other.

"Don't be nervous, I don't mean anything."

Lin Ze smiled and spoke, although his voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of the family.

The gentle words soothed the nervous trio very well.

"Hello, I'm Lin Ze, Lin Ziyi."

"I came here this time to ask you what happened in this world eight years ago, and why so many people died."

As soon as the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, they felt another voice ringing in their ears, and then the firearm that gave them a sense of security had been taken away.

They subconsciously turned their heads to turn the sound in the direction where the sound came from, and saw Lin Ze wearing a biochemical protective suit, who had come to their side at some point, still holding the firearm they used to protect themselves.

Seeing this scene, the family's body suddenly stiffened.

They didn't have to guess what had just happened, they could guess how powerful Lin Ze was.

Just the muzzle of the gun pointed at them let them know that Lin Ze's order could not be disobeyed at this moment.

"Hello, I'm Lu Yuan, this is my wife Zhang Wenya, and my daughter Lu Mingxue."

"I can tell you what happened, and please don't hurt my wife and daughter."

Lu Yuan raised his hand and smiled bitterly.

What is happening in this world at the moment is not clearer than those who have experienced it, but Lin Ze is asking them what happened, which makes Lu Yuan guess who Lin Ze is?

Isolated somewhere and living alone for a long time?

Lin Ze unloaded the magazine of their guns and put them aside, easing the tense atmosphere, pointing to the sofa next to him and saying, "Sit." ”

The three of them sat down honestly, and at this time Lu Yuan began to tell the story of eight years ago.

"Eight years ago, there was a virus that suddenly hit the world, you should know about it, right?"

Seeing Lin Ze nodding, Lu Yuan probably understood what Lin Ze wanted to know, and wanted to know some details that he didn't know.

So he began to focus on this aspect: "My family has a small industry and a wealthy family since I was a child, so when I grew up, I became a survival expert according to my interests and hobbies, and I was fully prepared for the end of the hypothetical situation. ”

"My wife and I met because of the same hobbies, and she was very supportive of my career."

"Eight years ago, when the end of the world came, my husband and wife were visiting this survival base with our children, and then the zombie virus suddenly broke out, and the whole world was in chaos, and we lived here."

"At the beginning of the apocalypse, the network was not broken, and someone initiated a survivor count, and the total number of people who participated at that time was about 1.2 million, and even if you count those who did not participate, it is estimated that there are no two million living people in the world."

"After that, the network was cut off, and it is estimated that even fewer people are still alive."

"Many of the people who survived at that time were guessing where the virus came from, and later they all guessed that it was done by a biological company called Northern Lights, and there were many signs, the first is that Chu Ge, the boss of Northern Lights, was the first genius in the world, and only he could make this terrifying virus."

"The second reason is that the communication satellites in the sky are constantly being destroyed, and many base stations and networks on the ground are gradually failing, and the third reason is that after the Internet is interrupted, from time to time some radio broadcasts announce that they have been attacked by unknown people."

"Most of these radios are nuclear submarines, secret military bases, and other places that are physically isolated from the outside world and will not be damaged by viruses."

"I don't know much more, and the radio that could be received by the radio in previous years is gone, and our family lives here quietly."
