Chapter 1401 Survivors!
There was no light outside at all. Tang En and his group walked along the passage for several hours. They encountered several forks in the way. After using the magic radar to scan and map, they took many detours.
But even so...
After climbing over a messy obstacle again, even the calm Eberron couldn't help but start complaining: "Isn't the terrain here too complicated? What kind of pipeline is this? It doesn't look like a pipeline at all. The employee passage at the beginning is more like a transportation track!"
Clotho nodded: "This reminds me of the steam subway between Gear City and Forgehammer..."
Tang En couldn't help but nodded. Indeed, the route here looked very reminiscent of the steam subway developed by the dwarfs, but if you really want to say it, this should be the rail transportation pipeline used by the prehistoric immigrants to transport materials when they transformed the planet.
Of course, now that there is no energy at all, the transportation here can no longer be started.
Although they didn't know why the route came here, Tang En and the others could only bite the bullet and continue walking down. But soon, they knew why the radar detection route came here.
"How is this going?"
On the way, they saw many passages blocked by molten alloy, which showed as dead ends on the radar.
"Why is there so much molten alloy sealing the passage?"
Tang En and the others couldn't help but have strong doubts. There was neither a biological crisis nor a star monster here. Why would these survivors seal all the passages?
Have they given up and left here?
However, there were many more puzzling things. Along the way, they not only saw blocked passages, but also "bodies" abandoned outside.
Vinette suddenly said: "It always feels like they are worried about the spread of psionic radiation disease, so they have blocked those infected outside."
Tang En was stunned: "What you said is very possible!"
Although radiation sickness is not an infectious disease, prehistoric life at that time may not have known it, so it is normal for them to have such worries.
The further they walked, the more it proved that Weinette's guess was correct. In a slightly wide cargo transfer station, thousands of nearly rotten space suits were piled up here. The messy scene reminded Tang En These people who came thousands of years later told about the terrible situation here at that time.
——Countless people did not die in the catastrophe, but were infected with radiation sickness. In the end, they could only die here, watching the corpses beside them slowly die. Despair continued to spread, and there were fewer and fewer survivors. They also lost hope of escaping, and could only continue to escape deeper, and then continued to abandon their companions who had radiation sickness. In the end, how many people could survive?
"We are very close to the target area."
Tang En suddenly stopped and activated his smart watch, and then the holographic projection projected a map: "According to calculations, we have penetrated hundreds of kilometers into the surface of the planet, and are theoretically very close to the center of this satellite - —I don’t believe they would hollow out the core of Lolita.”
Since there is no accurate positioning system, they can only infer their location based on the map and cannot display their current location.
After some deductions based on this map and the nearby environment, Clotto marked their approximate location. Then he pointed ahead and said: "If what you said is right, the survivor is probably here, map It's marked Emergency Sleeping Room."
They were only about ten kilometers away from their current location. Soon they pushed aside the obstacles and arrived outside the emergency sleep room.
As soon as she approached the door, Nora reminded Tang En: [The breath of life is inside. There is no change in the intensity of the induction from before. The breath is very weak. 】
Tang En said: "If there are survivors, they must be here."
When they were on the road, they carefully checked the Lolita holographic map copied from the prehistoric equipment, and they found that there was only one large dormant room on the planet that could accommodate a million people.
Serna displayed her superb lock-picking skills, and everyone only heard a ding-dang sound before the heavy hydraulically sealed door was opened by her.
"Well done!"
Tang En was generous with his praise, which made Serna raise her proud tail: "It's not my fault, there is no door in this world that can stop me, not even the treasury of your Datang Chamber of Commerce -"
The smile on Tang En's face suddenly froze: "Have you been there?"
Serna suddenly felt guilty: "...I was just making an analogy..."
"...So you've been there?"
"..."
Tang En turned to Justisa and said, "When we go back, remind Fiona that no matter where this guy goes from now on, there must be guards following him. If we throw anything away, we will go to her directly."
"Hey, this is professional discrimination!"
Tang En ignored them directly: "This is not called professional discrimination, this is called reforming evil! I'm waiting for the day when you educate all the thieves in Purandal."
As a thief leader, how can he do it without leading his men to correct their evil ways? If you don’t learn cultural knowledge well, how will you survive in the new era in the future?
Tang En complained as he walked into the dormitory room first.
You can't tell much from the scale of the map, but when you actually get here, you'll find that this is really a very huge dormant room!
What is the concept of a hibernation chamber large enough to accommodate a million people?
Even if only based on the lowest standard, one person occupies one cubic meter, and one million people occupy one million cubic meters, which is a huge space of 100 meters in length, width and height. Think about how huge a 100-meter hill is. This is still Ignoring the space occupied by energy, life support and other systems, only consider the space occupied by these people lying down.
If these devices are added, the space occupied by a person will be increased several times, at least 4 cubic meters, which means that the total space will be doubled several times.
After opening the door and entering this confined space, Tang En and the others felt as if they had arrived at a giant's library.
That's right, it's the library.
The structure of this sleeping room is a vertical structure. There are densely packed transparent sleeping cabins buried in honeycomb-shaped walls that are thousands of meters high. It seems to use a relatively independent energy supply facility from the outside, so now it is also The minimum energy supply is still maintained, and the entire dormant room is emitting a faint yellow light.
The lights in most of the dormant cabins have been extinguished. It is obvious that the equipment has experienced abnormal conditions during its thousands of years of operation and has therefore failed. After the dormant cabin fails, the lives of the users inside are naturally impossible to guarantee.
But there are some who are lucky, and the lights of the dormant cabin are still on!
This means they have a chance of survival!
"Go and have a look!"
After Tang En and the others discovered that some of the dormant cabins were still working, they immediately became excited and ran over. However...the smiles on their faces froze as soon as they saw the situation in the dormant cabins.
The cruel reality poured cold water on them, and the biting cold made them wake up instantly.
These ancestor remnants had already been severely radiated when they entered the dormant cabin. Even if they entered a dormant state, the nether energy radiation would not disappear, but would further accelerate the erosion of their bodies.
"What happen to you guys?"
Aegwin came over curiously.
"Stop looking."
Tang En stopped her, his face was very ugly, his stomach was churning, and he had the urge to vomit.
"Am I that fragile?"
Egwen glanced at him displeased, then gently pushed him away, took a look, and said without changing his expression: "Isn't it just that the body is rotting, what's the big deal."
In the dormant cabin that was still working, there were supposed to be survivors in deep sleep, but at this moment there was only an indescribable thing inside, like a ball of rotten biscuits that had become moldy, or something that had exploded. The internal organs became colorful after being fermented in the extreme environment. The squashed internal organs were mixed in the turbid liquid and stuck to the sleeping chamber. Under the weak yellow light, it was very scary and disgusting.
Tang En: "..."
Tang En indeed underestimated her mental endurance. As a legendary strongman walking around on the continent, how could she not have any endurance?
What makes Tang En feel strange is that hibernation is carried out at a temperature of more than 200 degrees below zero. At that temperature, although radiation sickness cannot be alleviated, it is impossible for such microorganisms to reproduce. What kind of microorganisms Can you survive in an environment of more than 200 degrees below zero?
Could it be the mutated bacteria born from psionic radiation?
Thinking of this, Tang En suddenly felt a sense of crisis - as if accidentally opening these dormant cabins would release terrifying savage beasts, completely destroying the world before the chaos army arrived...
"Be careful not to destroy these dead bodies."
Tang En reminded them very cautiously: "These corpses may contain viruses from ten thousand years ago, which modern humans may not be able to resist."
Although they didn't know what the virus was, everyone was still a lot more careful in their actions. They didn't want to die here for no reason.
At this moment, Serna's exclamation suddenly came from the front.
Tang En was shocked. Could it be that that coward opened the dormant cabin right now? ?
Is this how Purandar’s Resident Evil was born?
At this moment, many terrifying images flashed through Tang En's mind, and he couldn't help shouting: "Serna! Don't touch those dormant cabins!"
Then they heard Serna shouting over there: "Come and look! There is a complete person here! But he... is really weird!"
