after falling asleep

Chapter 281 20. Earth's Past Events

Data from the spacecraft showed no signs of life around.In other words, the five vehicles are the only lives here.

The coarse loose soil is dark yellow and reddish, with no vegetation.Compared with the name Earth, this place is more like Mars.

The hazy environment like fog made the visibility less than tens of meters.The radiation is 32 microsieverts per second, and the air is mixed with hydrogen, formaldehyde and other gases that should not be there.

The address of Heishan Science and Technology Base is 1.3 kilometers away from here, on the west side.

Joyce's voice sounded on the vehicle communicator, requesting to start a queue and enter the town.

At this moment, the light on the communicator came on, and Mu Su's arrogant shout came from it.

"This is my escape route, Qiao Qiao! Huh...? Why isn't the car moving? Bang bang—don't come here! Aha, I'm really joking with your leader. If you don't believe me, ask... Sand waterfall funeral! It's a mess of sand I don’t have a belt, I’m so angry...hahaha I was just joking with you just now, if you don’t believe me, ask Qiao Qiao.”

The arrogant shouting didn't last long before it was replaced by panic.

"Jojo, please speak well for me! They've already started taking off their pants!"

The other seven members who were in the same car as Musu looked at each other in blank dismay.

Joyce said to the communicator: "Mr. Musu was joking with me just now."

The seven members looked at each other, and a woman stood up and explained to the communicator: "Uh... yes, the leader. And we didn't do anything just now."

"I know."

The all-terrain vehicle starts. Five vehicles lined up and drove from the plains along the road full of cracks and gaps into the dilapidated town.

On both sides are familiar and unfamiliar buildings silhouettes looming in the yellow mist.

The window glass was scattered and covered with a thick layer of dust.The hollow interior is exposed in the field of vision, lifeless.

The convoy stopped in the center of the town, and Joyce ordered the members of Chen Yue's vehicle to put on protection and go outside to search for clues.The town is very close to the Black Mountain Technology Base, so there are always some clues.

Hope those clues are still there.

The hatch at the rear of the vehicle was opened, and several figures in protective clothing, not bloated but fat, descended one after another.

After getting off the car, Chen Yue's black eyes narrowed slightly.

She thought these were fogs formed by toxic substances, but now that she looked carefully... they were tiny floating particles visible to the naked eye.

Stretching out his claws, the particles leaked from between his fingers.

Here the air is dead, there is no circulation at all.As the body walked by, those floating particles were stirred behind and turned into tiny whirlpools.

The members of the other vehicles witnessed this scene through the screen, but it was not as real as the naked eye.

"I have a feeling that fallen leaves return to their roots... over."

The chatter of outside members came from the communicator.

"It's over just like you."

"I fucking want to take off my mask right now and take a deep breath of home air... oh over."

"You're going to die buddy, over."

Joyce did not ban small talk on the communicator.He is watching the picture.

The eight figures walked towards the nearest house on the side of the road.This place used to be a clothing store, the large windows had no glass, and a few heads and bodies were scattered in the corner of the platform—they belonged to dummies.

A figure stepped through the window first, and the overhead searchlight was turned on, illuminating the dim room.He turned to his companion and said, "You don't want to go through the door, finish."

The woman is standing in front of the door with her hand outstretched as if to open it.After hearing the teasing sound, he went straight through the door with only the door frame left.

"That's right, it's over."

Three other members stayed outside on guard.

Chen Yue and the other four entered the store to check.

Except for the four walls, only rusty metal hangers stood in place.The wooden platform at the front desk is still in good condition, but there is no force at all when you touch it, as if it is sunken by pressing on the cream.

There are no clues at all, not even the words.The only meaning magazine was covered with a layer of dark yellow dust, and it turned into flying ash when it was touched.

No one came back without success.

"It's fucking quiet in here, over."

One member complained that he could only hear his own breathing.

Chen Yue looked at him: "Okay, let's talk about the gossip later. Spaceship, send over the map of the town in the 21st century."

Ten seconds later, the eight people and the vehicle received the map at the same time.

Chen Yue set a sign on the mayor's office on the map.The office is on the same street, 150 meters ahead.

There was no need to go back to the vehicle, the eight people went directly with the vehicle.

Tracks left obvious marks behind.

The mayor's office, a three-story red brick building.

Leaving the two of them guarding the door, Chen Yue led the team into the building one after another.

On the first floor of the two, the members entered the room in an orderly manner to search, and took pictures of all the characters that could still be discerned or could not be discerned.

On the third floor, walking up the concrete steps, Chen Yue saw the scratches on the iron plate on the damaged door at a glance.

【Mayor's Office】

Asking the following members to guard the corridor, Chen Yue gently opened the door.

After 400 years, this wooden door has long been corroded, and it fell inward after being pushed lightly.Chen Yue subconsciously wanted to cover her mouth and nose, and then realized that she was wearing a protective cover.

puff--

In the soft sound, a large cloud of dust was raised.

Chen Yue frowned and turned up the power of the searchlight, and stepped into the room that was as muddy as the bottom of the water.

Her gaze was drawn to the monitor on the wooden table by the wall.She walked over and carefully wiped off the dust on the screen, thought for a while, took out a small portable energy source from the waist of the protective suit, connected the interface to the computer case, and pressed the button.

hum-

While the fan was spinning hard, the screen suddenly lit up.

very good!

Chen Yue gritted her silver teeth lightly.

An unfamiliar logo appeared, and after a while, the screen suddenly turned blue, and some text appeared.

Chen Yue couldn't see clearly, so she wiped the screen again.Finding that it was still a little fuzzy, he turned to wipe the mask.

This time it is clear.

Reading the text, the above content roughly means memory corruption.

"Remove the hard drive."

Joyce, who observes everything, reminds.

Chen Yue understood, unplugged the portable power supply, then picked up the monitor and the case together, and rushed out of the muddy room after confirming that there were no missing clues in the room.

She doesn't know which one is the hard drive, so take them away.

Just as she was going downstairs, a scream came from the communicator: "What the hell is that!"

"What did you see?"

The members of the vehicle shouted from the communicator: "The screen shows that nothing was captured"

The member who screamed earlier stumbled and said: "I know... I saw it from the corner of my eye. There is a black shadow... It's my illusion... It's over."

Chen Yue went downstairs quickly, frowned and said: "Your eyes are fine, there is no illusion. The vehicle turns on the life detection and scans this office."

[The number of life forms found: 6]

"It does appear that you are dazzled," a member interjected.

"Don't take it lightly." Chen Yue said, going down to the first floor and walking onto the street.

"Come back. Let's go directly to the Black Mountain Technology Base."

Joyce gave them orders, and the members who received the orders withdrew one after another.

"Everyone returned to the vehicle and gradually drove away from the dead town. However, none of them knew that there was a flash of hatred in the corner of the wall..."

"Mr. Mu Su, please respect yourself." Joyce replied to Mu Su in the communicator.
