For Shen Sui, university is a dream that only exists in books. For a young man living in the post-war apocalypse, his community was smaller than the department of a comprehensive university. He could only know all this, all he expected, from books.
Although Shen Sui had prepared mentally in advance, when Shen Sui actually stepped into the ruins of Montenegro University City, the unavoidable desolate atmosphere was like a holding spell, freezing Shen Sui in place, and his teammates pushed him. Only then did he wake up from his trance.
"Disappointed?" Wang Cheng said. His voice came out from the gas mask, making a roaring sound, erratic in the cold wind. ....
How can you not be disappointed?
Looking around, there are ruins and ruins. The buildings that have been stripped of their color by time have turned into fragmented and dangerous buildings. Lifeless vines wrap around the teaching building and wrap around the spider's nest. Shen Sui took out the telescope and found several large spiders in his field of vision that could be described as "heads", as big as a chair. These eight-legged insects shuttle between windows, their thick webs marking their territory.
"That should be the School of Chemistry." Wang Cheng motioned to the team to take a break and took Shen Sui to look at Montenegro University.
Follow the direction pointed by Wang Cheng. "Did you see that glaze-colored arch? Oh, the glaze is not green. That one hasn't fallen down yet. The one at the back is more stable. Do you see it? Read out the words on it."
"National University of Montenegro."
This moment evoked Shen Sui's memories. This university was built at the foot of Montenegro. It was 130 years old when the war broke out. However, according to another version that Shen Sui read and some letters from Montenegro teachers and students in the shelter, this school actually just opened. A hundred years is right. Forget it, it’s been two hundred years by now anyway. This university is the most prestigious university in the region where Montenegro is located. The emphasis is on liberal arts, which makes Shen Sui often imagine that if there had been no war, he would have just passed the exam.
After a short break, the team checked the radiation concentration in the air. Due to the windy weather, the radiation level was relatively low. So I changed into lead-lined work clothes, but the gas mask is still indispensable at all times.
"Hold the gun tightly, turn off the safety, and don't fire. Don't fire unless you have to," the captain warned. "This is not a very safe place. You saw the spider before."
Everyone officially headed towards the ruins of Black Mountain University.
Beyond the archway of Montenegro University, the grassy asphalt road stretches all the way under Montenegro. Shen Sui used a walking stick to push through the weeds outside the stone carving of the school motto. The gilt carvings had long been dull and colorless. "Self-improvement and great perseverance?" Shen Sui muttered softly, but the next four words were completely unrecognizable.
Half of the archway above the head collapsed, and the four characters for National University of Montenegro were cut into 30-70 characters. The column behind it should be traditional Chinese characters or large seal characters, and Shen Sui couldn't recognize it at all. Wang Cheng also asked him with great interest what these six characters were. Shen Sui thought carefully for a while and said that he did not recognize the second character. He only recognized "literature, science, industry, agriculture, and medicine." Five. indivual.
So Wang Cheng chuckled a few times and said, "That's the word Dharma. It's normal. This word is too uncommon. I checked the information before confirming it."
Continuing to walk along the main road, Shen Sui asked if this road had a name. Wang Cheng shrugged and said that since he was in a school, he looked like someone from there. Do you think students will remember the names of the roads? Don't they all remember them? Which building are you next to? The first building you enter is the Contemporary Building, which is also the Graduate School. Ahead of the main road is the Zhenhua Building, which is the combination of the three schools of Literature, History and Philosophy. He also said that the ancestor of one of his relatives graduated from the History College.
This large-scale Zhenhua Building is the largest building Shen Sui has ever seen. It is larger than the square of the protective station, and the overall structure is relatively intact. Although many of the exterior walls are damaged, the main supporting structures inside appear to be strong. The only drawback is that the last two characters of "School of History" are missing. Only the vertical plaque of "Dajiang Civilization Archaeological Research Institute" standing in the hall behind the entrance is still there, and it is actually intact.
"It doesn't matter. Look, the gate of this shabby college is just like a small gate. It has words but no words, isn't it useless?" Wang Cheng laughed.
"The archaeological plaque inside is there, so it is more appropriate to rename it the School of Archeology."
After hearing this, Shen Sui could only shake his head. After all,
He was just assigned a job and had no say.
Next to Zhenhua Building is the School of Chemistry. Due to the presence of spiders, the team quickly turned around and headed towards the main building of the library. The green glazed top has no brilliance. A very conspicuous hole was opened in the roof, and an airplane wing embedded in it showed the tragic past that had occurred.
"After entering, you two work in pairs and go directly to the reading area on the second floor to find skill books. Regarding metalworking, Shen Sui and I will go to the preservation area to find them. Remember not to take too many, and don't keep staring at one place, otherwise you will stare. You may be unlucky for a long time." Wang Cheng warned.
The alienating skylight leaked into the library, and the crisp sound of leather boots on the marble slabs formed an echo. Shen Sui raised his gun and advanced cautiously. In the blink of an eye, he was almost startled by the book delivery robot placed in the corner. , I thought to myself, why was it so advanced before the war? Is there such a thing?
The four of them went upstairs. It was difficult to choose between the four directions. It took a while to identify the way. Wang Cheng grabbed Shen Sui and cursed: "There is a toilet in front of you, what are you going to do?"
"Harm, I thought it was the door."
"That's the one next to you, isn't it a little smaller?"
Shen Sui continued along the stairs to the third floor, even though the sign was posted on B2.
"Okay, come here, let's search for something."
The huge bookshelf collapsed a lot, and the tables and chairs in the corridor were almost all rotten. Shen Sui usually had to go through three or four bookshelves to find one that was slightly intact, and then crawled in to find books.
"What the hell is history?" Shen Sui touched a book and saw the cover. He immediately judged that the thing written by Yuan Tengfei was purely an indescribable thing. He once doubted the University of Montenegro. Is there something wrong with the library's brain that it would collect such valuable things?
He tried his best to get out, holding a few popular books titled "Metro 2033" in his hands. He found a place to sit down and watch for a while. He read the story inside, Moscow University Station, a paradise in the cruel subway world, but forever blocked, became the desires and fantasies of subway people.
Shen Sui shook his head and stood up. He knew that paradise would not be here, until someone else appeared at the end of his sight.
A heavily armed soldier, a soldier running towards him.
