The roar of the helicopter echoed in my ears.

Zhang Shouquan sat on the helicopter and watched the scene passing by quickly below for a long time.

It can be clearly seen that groups of troops have been quickly assembled, and a series of defensive lines have been set up along the way, ready to decide whether to carry out fire bombardment or other tasks according to the orders of the superiors.

He was on board the helicopter with ten other professionals, also wearing chemical hazmat suits, and they were also determined to explore the unknown place.

It is necessary to investigate.

No one knows what will happen.

But looking at the black crack that is constantly devouring, you can understand that there are actually too many hidden dangers and unknowns in this matter.

Therefore, they all left their last words before leaving, to avoid misfortunes such as sacrifice.

"The previous incident of the axe chiseling valley can still be hidden from the outside world, but now the black cracks of Mount Tai are afraid that they can't be hidden at all."

Zhang Shouquan muttered in a low voice.

Even on the way to the black crack in a helicopter, he couldn't help but think about the possible impact of this incident from the perspective of the Daylight Bureau and the director of the National Security Bureau.

The first is the eye from heaven.

The movement of their army is so big, the satellites of all countries that pay attention to them should basically pay attention to it, and it will be impossible to hide the black crack in Mount Tai at that time.

The second is the need to consider the possible evacuation of people, if the spread of the black crack cannot be stopped, then the next question is the survival of the surrounding cities and even the entire planet.

With a groan, the helicopter stopped in mid-air.

It is 1.8 kilometers away from the black crack, and it takes half an hour for the black crack to spread.

Zhang Shouquan stopped thinking and ordered some of the people to start despelling in the name of the captain.

When some people landed with their equipment.

They began to operate the equipment, conducting a series of data monitoring at this distance.

The helicopter continued to move deeper with the rest of the men until it was level with the black crack.

Seeing it with your own eyes and arriving in person makes it feel completely different.

Zhang Shouquan stared at the black crack, and could feel an endless malice approaching, which was even stronger than when he only looked at the photos before.

It was as if there was a whole dark and evil world, coveted on the other side of the black crack.

In the black cracks, you can't really see anything, and those things that are swallowed up are as if they have entered another world.

The black crack has no suction, and anything that touches it will collapse and merge into the black crack on its own.

Trees turn to debris when touched, and dirt and rocks turn to dust when touched. Everything seems to have gone through countless years at the moment when it touched a black crack.

Fortunately, the pilots of this helicopter are more experienced, and the people in the team are also real elites with tenacious will.

They were in a trance for a moment in this infinite malice, and then they all came back to their senses immediately.

The helicopter shook for a moment before returning to its normal state.

It led a plane of men over the cracks in the darkness towards the center of this spread, trying to find something.

Malicious shrouded here, every extra second of stay will make everyone feel full of pressure, but everyone is gritting their teeth and persevering.

until you reach the center of the black fissure.

There are indeed some differences here.

It was dark and there was a bottomless crack, but in the center was a piece of land that was intact.

Trees that have been cut in half vertically stand at the edge of the intact land, and a patch of fresh green grass and moist soil sits in it.

Although this intact place is only about ten square meters of space, it seems to be the only isolated island in the endless dark ocean.

Full of life at the same time, it is incompatible with the endless darkness of the outside world.

"Report headquarters, there is a special site not shown in satellite monitoring, located in the middle of a dark rift without any impact."

"Request instructions."

Zhang Shouquan immediately reported.

However, there was only a rustle in the communication channel, and they were disconnected from the command room.

Obviously, not long ago, the communication channel they had been reporting regularly every minute was not abnormal, but at this moment, it suddenly had no effect.

With a deep groan, Zhang Shouquan made preparations for the rappelling.

The people around were stunned when they saw this: "Captain, don't you have to wait for the command room's instructions?" ”

"Time waits for no one, I'll go down and have a look first."

After Zhang Shouquan finished speaking, he resolutely jumped down the rope.

It can be seen from his skillful movements that he has obviously not been abandoned over the years, and he will practice his body and basic skills from time to time.

Seeing this, the random vice-captain didn't say much, but silently stopped the other members who wanted to keep up.

The area underneath looked more accessible than the black cracks, but it wasn't certain if it was safe.

Moreover, in less than ten square meters, there is still half a tree occupying a part, and only one person needs to descend quickly for the time being.

If the captain Zhang Shouquan takes the lead in everything, then he, the vice captain, must make a calm decision.

They stayed on and took out their instruments to detect, and they were ready to support Zhang Shouquan at any time, which was the best decision.

……

After coming down, Zhang Shouquan skillfully took out his pistol and repeatedly checked it in this less than ten square area.

A moist soil and fresh grass, half a tree stuck on the edge of this intact boundary.

Everything here is at a glance.

Zhang Shouquan did not let his guard down, but looked around from time to time, squatted down and put on gloves, and then collected some soil and grass and put them in the bag.

Then he put away the bag and went to the half of the tree.

If there is anything special and conspicuous in this place, it must be the tree in front of you that has been cut in half vertically.

After looking at the pistol for a while, Zhang Shouquan took out a new bag and prepared to continue collecting some of the materials on the tree.

But the sudden sound behind him paused his movements.

"You and I are completely different, but in a way they are the same."

A gentle male voice echoed in his ears.

Zhang Shouquan's eyes widened suddenly.

He turned slowly, his gun pointed at the man who made the sound, and his face was very serious.

The man in front of him had silver hair, and the clothes on his body were not gorgeous, but there was an unexpected sense of nobility when he wore it.

And on the man's chest, there is a sign that impresses Zhang Shouquan very much.

That familiar sun pattern!

It's eternal day!

Zhang Shouquan hurriedly raised his head, but saw that the helicopter in the sky stopped at some point, and the rotating propeller did not move.

The expressions on everyone's faces froze, and they didn't know if it was his time that had sped up, or if everyone in the outside world had paused.

But in short, the support he was expecting would not come.

Almost for a moment of shock, Zhang Shouquan slowly withdrew his gaze.

Looking at the man in front of him with the lines of eternal day, there was no surprise on his face, only endless warmth and gentleness.

He understood that the world around him seemed to be static, and it was this man who did it.

Therefore, he decisively put down the meaningless muzzle of the gun, and followed the man's previous words to cooperate: "Am I completely different from you?" ”

Seeing Zhang Shouquan reply, the man also slowly responded.

"I'm a realist, I'm a pessimist."

"Once you are in an embarrassment, you will have the bad habit of choosing to retreat."

"Retain strength, retreat and retreat. The strength of the organization is retained by me, but humanity suffers and suffers because of me. ”

The man shook his head as he spoke.

His face was full of emotion and embarrassment.

"But you're different."

Then, the man looked at Zhang Shouquan with satisfaction, his eyes full of appreciation.

Hearing this, Zhang Shouquan was silent for a long time.

He probably understood what the man meant by the difference.

In other words, although he will judge the situation, he will not retreat again and again.

He can't think completely rationally about whether the survival of humanity is more important than anything else, he will only do what he thinks he should do.

Seeing Zhang Shouquan silent, the man slowly approached.

While Zhang Shouquan's muscles were tense and vigilant, the man slowly passed by him.

The man looked up at the half of the tree.

"Thankfully, I remember why I joined the organization."

"I'll just say why the organization hasn't fired and punished me for being so retiring and retreating."

"It turns out that the organization knows me better than I do."

The man's words were vague, and Zhang Shouquan frowned and obviously didn't understand: "What do you mean?" ”

Hearing this, the man said without looking back, "On that day, an abyssal crack reached its limit, thus forming an ever-expanding abyss entrance. ”

"I thought I would still quit."

"But this time, I didn't choose to retreat."

"After all, if you retreat this time, there is really no way to retreat."

"I used the power of nothingness that I had just realized to turn the fact of the entrance to the abyss into nothingness."

"The price is that I myself have fallen into nothingness."

The man's tone was understated.

But Zhang Shouquan's pupils widened, shocked by the amount of information he suddenly learned.

Abyssal Rifts? Entrance to the Abyss?

Is the monster that Eternal Day has been fighting against from the so-called abyss?

Will the entrance to the abyss continue to expand? Isn't that the black crack that appears right now?

What is the power of nothingness? Is it synonymous with some kind of supernatural power?

Too many doubts flashed in his mind, Zhang Shouquan had too many things to ask at this moment, but he didn't know how to talk to this man.

There really is a mysterious, ancient, and transcendent salvation organization, which has been hidden behind the history of mankind and dedicated!

Long.

Zhang Shouquan spoke in silence: "Excuse me, ...... the end of the eternal day?"

"What is the meaning of life, you say?"

The man changed from standing facing half a tree to looking back at Zhang Shouquan, interrupting the words that Zhang Shouquan was about to ask.

Zhang Shouquan was stunned and didn't know what to say.

This question has been discussed by too many people throughout the ages, and there are too many answers.

So he didn't know what to say at the moment.

He wanted to ask more about Eternal Day.

"I think the meaning of life is to exist."

"As long as it still exists, it must have a meaning for its existence."

"So, I don't want this world that has been guarded by the eternal day for thousands of years to come to naught."

The man retracted his gaze as he spoke, raising a hand and pressing it against the half tree in front of him.

In a trance, Zhang Shouquan found that the man's figure seemed to become transparent at some point.

This transparency had been the case since it appeared, but he had never noticed it because of some kind of hidden influence.

"I don't know why my soul, who has fallen into nothingness for thousands of years, has returned, but ......"

"I didn't hesitate last time, and I won't do it this time, it's a choice I have no regrets."

"It's time to say goodbye!"

The man's firm words slowly fell.

In the next moment, even though Zhang Shouquan had no spiritual perception ability, he could still perceive a silent power slowly emanating from the moisturizing matter.

It's powerless.

It is possible to deny the facts that you do not want to admit.

In order to erase the entrance to the abyss, which was taking shape for some unknown reason, he abandoned all of his existence as he had done thousands of years ago.

In the past, he left behind his body, life, creation, achievements, great deeds, and even the traces and memories he left in history, and reached the "nothing" that human beings have never reached.

Now, he has left behind the remnants of his body that has returned from nothingness for some reason, and has thrown himself into nothingness with the entrance to the abyss that he has returned with for some reason.

The scene in front of him changed suddenly.

Almost instantly, the other half of the tree grew out, and a vigorous life spread out of the intact land.

The surrounding area was so dark that it was impossible to see the cracks, covered by the young grass and soil that spread out, as if it were the way it was.

The blackened land begins to regain its vibrant colors in large swaths.

The existence that was like an island in the dark rift was spreading out at the moment.

Devouring the waves of darkness that spread out, they were quickly overtaken by the vibrant colors.

Everything is back to its original state in this moment, as it was thousands of years ago.

It was as if it were just a dream.

This big dream that the entrance to the abyss is taking shape is denied by the man.

The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the wind and waves are calm.

Everyone who resumed operations in the outside world was stunned and fell into deep thought as they looked at the large dark cracks that disappeared in an instant, not knowing what was happening.

Zhang Shouquan stood in front of the tree that had become whole, caressing its rough and dry skin, and sadness surged up in his heart again.

This sadness welled up in the hearts of everyone around him, as always.

Others don't know what's going on.

But Zhang Shouquan, who vaguely understood what powerlessness meant, knew.

This is the last thing that the man left in this world.

The sorrow of mankind is a send-off.

Everything else is constantly passing and disappearing.

As the only witness, Zhang Shouquan desperately wanted to leave some traces.

But the information in the input device was like a memory in his mind, constantly blurring under the passage of time.

Zhang Shouquan pressed his fingers on the keyboard, and the speed of typing gradually slowed down until it stopped.

He forgot what he was doing.

Looking at the blank screen, he was a little confused.

Everything about that man who was like a passerby.

It is gradually falling into nothingness, which is the "nothingness" that human beings have never reached.

Not long after, Zhang Shouquan raised his head and looked at the helicopter that was slowly landing and preparing to pick him up.

Touching the tears in the corners of his eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little trance.

Why......

He was in tears?
