There is no sun in this world.
The main color is dim during the day, and darker at night.
The palpable yellow halo enveloped every corner of the surrounding area.
The world is also desolate.
In this lifeless and desolate world like the Taklimakan Desert, many huge buildings are buried in the yellow sand and only a small half of the dilapidated walls are exposed.
Wilderness, silence and lifelessness are synonymous with this world.
Every time a storm swept past, tornadoes and yellow sand mixed with the sound of thunder raged around, creating extremely shocking celestial phenomena.
This is a world that has been drained of the essence of life, and death often accompanies it.
…
Where the wind and sand are rolling, in the yellow wind, a small human team is hurriedly walking in the desert.
These people were wrapped in thick black shabby windbreakers and wore masks to block sand and dust. Every move they made seemed clumsy.
But such clumsiness is the key to protecting life.
Ai Xin secretly took off her mask and took a breath of air with a strong sulfur smell, and then couldn't help but cough.
"Xiao Ai, are you stupid? You will get sick if you do this."
Behind him, a man wearing an old respirator mask scolded: "With your poor contribution, the base will not give you treatment. Then you will just wait to die."
Ai Xin stuck out her tongue, put her mask back on and said, "Captain, captain, I just want to smell the free air. Don't blame me."
"Free air is deadly!"
The captain reprimanded in an unquestionable tone: "The surface air contains a large amount of sulfur and boron. Excessive inhalation will cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Aixin, can you bear it?"
Xiao Ai is a bit of a bully. Hearing the captain's words, he immediately retorted: "I'm used to vomiting, what's the point of not being able to bear it?"
The captain said: "The side effects are far more than these! Toxic air can also cause damage to lung tissue, leading to respiratory paralysis, dizziness, headache, ataxia, heart palpitations, etc... We cannot rule out liver and kidney failure. Of course, it is also possible to directly It’s over, we’ll all have a feast by then.”
Hearing this, Xiao Ai couldn't hold back anymore and said dejectedly: "Okay, okay, captain, stop talking, it's scary."
The captain nodded and said: "As long as you know, keep up with everyone and don't delay, otherwise I won't take you to the ground next time."
"Oh!"
Xiao Ai nodded.
The team walked in a desolate and silent world. Every time they walked a certain distance, the team leader would stop and fiddle with the strange machinery in his hand, and then look for a feasible path.
The Feng Shui-level positioning along the way was like looking for a dragon and exploring a cave. The team took many detours, but also avoided many potential dangers, which made them feel at ease.
After traveling for more than ten hours, the sky gradually darkened, and absolute darkness began to appear all around.
The captain said: "There is an old building nearby where we can spend the night."
So the team followed the navigation of the instrument and came to a building that was nine-tenths buried by wind and sand.
Only a very small part of this building is currently exposed, but it was still successfully found in front of the instrument in the captain's hand.
The captain used instruments to measure the surrounding area, and then said to the people behind him: "There is no danger around, we can rest assured."
"The equipment produced by the professor is really easy to use. It can actually detect the movement of silicon-based life. It's really amazing."
One team member couldn't help but admire: "Since we have this search device, our activities on the surface have become much safer."
"Of course! Without the professor here, the lower city might have been destroyed long ago!"
Another team member hummed.
At this time, the captain poured cold water: "The professor also explained that mechanical things can never be 100% trusted, so everyone still needs to be alert!"
"knew."
"Captain, don't worry!"
The team members expressed their opinions one after another.
Xiao Ai also nodded fiercely.
So everyone smashed the building's surface, made a hole for people to pass, and then filed into the building.
Everyone turned on the flashlights they carried and began to search the room. After confirming the safety of the room, they began to prepare to rest.
Xiao Ai was very curious and wandered around with a flashlight, observing every bit of the room.
Although it is full of traces of time, everyone can see how gorgeous the decoration here was.
The rotten sofa, the wooden floor that was so old that it squeaked when stepped on, the quartz walls in the room, and a lot of unnamed furniture... all of this made Xiao Ai feel incredible.
"What kind of civilization have we created in the past?"
Xiao Ai couldn't help but sigh.
"Ai Xin, don't be in a daze, get some rest quickly, we still have a long way to go tomorrow," the captain greeted.
"I know, I know." Xiao Ai immediately returned to the team, spread out the luggage he carried as a sleeping bag, and then took the time to rest.
However!
Tonight is destined to be anything but ordinary!
Not long after everyone lay down to rest, there was a sudden loud noise in the sky!
The loud noise was so shocking that it woke everyone up.
The captain was already in a light sleep state, but after being frightened, he immediately lost his sleepiness.
"Be careful, there's something going on!"
The captain was the first to rush to the window sill and looked at the sky in the distance.
I saw lightning and thunder in the sky, and it seemed like something was falling rapidly towards the ground!
Everyone squinted their eyes and tried to see clearly what was falling from the sky in the distance. At this moment, there was a sudden flash of light in the sky.
The blazing white light suddenly erupted, causing the captain's eyes to go blind.
In this world where sunlight cannot be seen, the damage to the eyes caused by such a terrifying flash is unimaginable.
"Ah, my eyes!"
The captain screamed, covered his eyes and fell from the window sill.
Several team members and Xiao Ai stepped forward to help the captain up, and happened to find a huge object in the sky exploding during decomposition.
The behemoth was extremely huge, burning with flames all over its body, accompanied by terrifying explosions.
The gorgeous scene like fireworks shocked everyone.
"what happened?"
"My dear!"
Everyone exclaimed, obviously shocked by the scene in front of them.
"No! This movement will definitely have a huge impact, and those monsters will definitely gather here... Everyone, hurry up and prepare to run away."
Although the captain was blind, his brain was still functioning well. He immediately made the correct judgment when he heard such a huge movement.
We can't stay in this place anymore. Not only can't we stay here, we have to run away quickly.
So everyone gave up the idea of repairing and started running away.
Without the guidance of the captain, all everyone can think of is returning to the base as planned, and going as far as possible.
The panicked crowd started to move, simply packed up and ran away immediately.
If it is "daytime" when driving, although the surrounding environment is dim, at least there is still visibility. Although the light is dim, it is "night" and the surroundings are freezing black. Everyone can only run in multiple directions according to the direction displayed on the instrument. .
Just then!
A terrifying bolide suddenly flashed across the sky!
This bolide dragged a slender red flame tail and hit them hard in front of everyone, almost killing them.
"My dear, we are better off!" The shocked people looked at the falling meteorite, only to find that it was actually a man smoking and burning into charcoal!
"Is this man from heaven?"
Some people looked at the sky in disbelief, as if they suspected there was something wrong with their brains.
"We don't have time to think about these useless things, so run away."
Two team members supported the captain, and the others went their separate ways.
However, Xiao Ai looked at the person stuck in the yellow sand and exclaimed: "This person seems to still be alive."
"Ai Xin, why are you so crazy? Leave quickly." The companion pulled Xiao Ai.
But the little girl said: "This man came from the sky. He didn't die like this. He is definitely not an ordinary person... Take him back to the professor and let him study it. Maybe he will make unexpected discoveries!"
When several companions heard this, they felt that this was what happened, so they turned around and helped Xiao Ai dig out the person stuck in the sand.
Some people died, but not completely...
