Corpse worms are symbionts of the living dead and the source of zombie disease. Only the living dead that have evolved to a certain level will have mature corpse worms in their bodies. But this is a completely closed space, and there are no mutated creatures for the living dead to eat and evolve. So how do they advance?
While thinking, Chen Xing suddenly felt an inexplicable crisis, and instinctively drew out the dagger and swung it to the side.
"Crack!"
A soft sound came into my ears, like something sticky. Looking down, he saw a corpse insect cut into two pieces rolling and twisting on the ground. Chen Xing drew his gun and shot, beating the zombies to pieces.
"Exit first, then call twenty people down, search like a carpet, don't miss any corner!"
After a while, twenty new team members came down, a total of about forty people, and began to check from the entrance. The bodies of the two team members were soon discovered. They were attacked by corpse bugs, their throats were blocked, and they died quietly.
A large number of iron frame beds were dismantled and thrown to the sides, and debris was cleared out and piled in the middle. Two soldiers were responsible for registering and collecting valuable items.
"Boss, I found a workbook. The paper is made of three-leaf vine roots. It has not rotted yet." Aaron brought an earthy yellow notebook.
Chen Xing turned on the flashlight to check. The workmanship of the book was very rough and it was bound with copper buckles. When you turn it over, the pages are slightly yellowed and covered with the texture of plant roots. It was obviously suppressed by the roots of mutated three-leaf vines and could be preserved for hundreds of years without decaying.
The handwriting on it is very clear. Judging from the color, it is written in blue and black ink. It can also be preserved for hundreds of years.
"Dr2235-06-18, I bought this with three months' salary. It is said that it can be preserved for more than five hundred years. I tried it and it was actually harder than cowhide. It requires industrial scissors to cut it. This is very good. From Starting today, I will record the important events in my life. Maybe someone will find it hundreds of years later, and then I will become a part of history. Maybe I will be mentioned in school..."
"Hi, friends who are reading this diary, hello, I am Brado, from the underground survival shelter No. 65, I like to eat sweets, and I am greeting you across time and space!"
Seeing this, Chen Xing couldn't help but smile. He was such an interesting young man.
"Dr2235-06-19, I wrote a poem, but everyone said they couldn't understand it. All I can say about this is that poets are lonely."
"Dr2235-08-05, I fell in love with a girl, but she is an intern at the research center. In order to see her again, I decided to apply for a job as a cleaner at the research center."
"Dr2235-11-21, it's such a dark day. She has a boyfriend, a bald engineer..."
…
Chen Xing flipped back and went to the middle part of the diary.
"Dr2238-04-13, she was abandoned. At noon, she was hiding in the laboratory secretly crying. It's really heartbreaking. That hateful old man, I curse him!"
"Dr2238-04-14, she cried again at noon. Should I pretend to be passing by and comfort her? Forget it. I am just a cleaner. Although I am still a poet, poets don't have their own rooms..."
…
Chen Xing flipped through several pages, but the contents were almost the same. It seemed that the "big event" in the eyes of young people was just a certain girl he liked, so he turned the diary to the last page.
"Dr2241-12-20, she is pregnant and has a happy smile on her face. I wish her the best."
"Dr2242-01-07, the expedition team brought back a mysterious object, packed in several metal boxes. I was asked to stay away from the laboratory. Some people said it was an 'antique' and had magical powers. But I don't know why, I am a little unsure. A premonition, maybe I am too sensitive..."
"Dr2242-01-10, in the past few days, there have been strange noises coming from the laboratory. I wanted to go in and have a look, but the soldiers wouldn't let me get close, saying it was the director's order."
"Dr2242-01-15, I haven't seen her for a week, and I feel so empty and uncomfortable..."
The diary ends here. It's hard to guess what exactly happened, but it must be related to the "antiques" mentioned inside.
If you want to explain the meaning of ancient relics, you must first start with the "undercurrent of time and space". But to explain the "undercurrent of space and time", we must start from the nature of the universe.
When he first traveled to this world, Chen Xing still had the fantasy of going home, so he read a lot of books on space theory.
In the imagination of scholars, the limit of space is the multiverse. The multiverse is composed of countless unit universes. The unit universe is also called a "parallel universe". Whether it is the earth, the red earth world, or other worlds, they all exist in different parallel universes.
The space between the unit universe and the unit universe is called "endless void" by scholars.
Every minute and every second, countless worlds are reborn and countless worlds are destroyed.
When a world is destroyed, the debris will pour into the endless void, forming a huge fluid. And eventually all the fluids will come together and become an endless torrent with no beginning or end.
Because the Endless Void is regarded by scholars as the lowest level of the multiverse, this torrent is named the "undercurrent of space and time."
The cataclysm occurred precisely because it was impacted by the undercurrent of time and space.
The full name of antiquities is "ancient relics". In addition to ancient cultural relics, it also refers to the rare treasures that came to this world along with the undercurrent of time and space. They are like deep blue pearls washed up on the beach by the waves, dazzling. Of course, it's also possible that it's a bottle hiding a demon.
But no matter what it is, it is a huge wealth for humans in the red earth world. Even a demon can dismember the potion needed to refine it.
Chen Xing closed the diary, took out the handheld screen, connected the black watch, and pulled up the simple map.
The research institute is a core facility and is usually located in the center of the survival center. He calculated that the central area was more than three thousand meters away from the current location.
"Continue to look for clues and build a line of defense." Chen Xing told Aaron, then returned to the ground with Brado's diary and told the two sisters and third uncle of Ye Yang's family about the situation.
Although it was a huge fortune, he wanted to take it all to himself, but there were many people below him, most of whom were soldiers of the Ye Yang family, so it was impossible for him to hide it.
Moreover, he wanted to seek help from his third uncle. If he could go down with him, the safety factor would be much higher. Unexpectedly, after hearing his intention, the third uncle refused outright.
"Old man's mission is to ensure the safety of his two granddaughters. Let's leave the exploration to the expedition team."
What the third uncle meant was that he would not put himself in danger. Chen Xing could go if he wanted to, and if he didn't want to go, let the people below him go.
In desperation, Chen Xing had no choice but to return underground alone and take command. If he stays on top, his contribution will naturally be smaller and the benefits he will receive will be much less. If you want to make money, you must not shrink your head or tail.
"Deploy the defense line and prepare to blow up the door." Chen Xing said hurriedly as soon as he arrived below.
