Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 525 [Chapter Hidden in the Abyss] 69: Ember

I don't know how long the fight in the dark lasted.

The damage Daxo received made his zombification worse, and as the zombification became more serious, his desire for the soul became stronger and stronger, and finally after a battle, he began to eat.

The broken soul satisfied his inner hunger, but it wasn't enough to dehumanize him, and the battles that followed dehumanized him bit by bit, until it was completely irreparable.

Several powerful experimental subjects escaped, and most of the rest were left in the laboratory by Daxor. He didn't "want" to keep these poor guys, but just instinctively wanted to stop them from moving— —

His instinct is that they will destroy the 【Crack】.

But the [crack] has already collapsed, leaving only the dilapidated [door frame] caused by the collapse.

After an unknown amount of time, human voices finally came from the dark underground.

"This place hasn't reached the depths of the waste abyss yet. Why did you leave the laboratory here? The group of people in the Rice University Research Institute are too unreliable." (Chapter 433 Past events in the center of the earth)
"..."

Chen Yan once heard these words described by Tungus Spherical. According to Tungus Spherical at that time, this was a conversation between Cyborg Quinn and Big Dog when they found the ruins of the laboratory many years later.

Different from the description of the spherical Tunguska, Chen Yan heard more detailed content from the synaesthesia of Daxo:

"It's probably not very safe here. The experimental products in the laboratory of the Rice University Research Institute should not have died out. Some of them have a high level of malignant mutation, and we can't handle it."

"This is difficult to deal with. According to the last detection result of the Frontline Investigation Section, the [Crack]'s fluctuations emanate from this position. Before we came here, we thought it was Mi Da who was playing tricks again. Who knew it was still this laboratory. .”

"Well... that is to say, the [Gap] back then has not been completely destroyed."

"That's the [Gate of Transcendence], it's normal if it's not completely destroyed, but... what the Frontline Investigation Section detected was just 'fluctuations', do you understand 'fluctuations'?

'Volatilities' means 'traces' - what they detected may only be a trace of spatial fluctuations after the [Gate of Transcendence] was shattered, not the portal itself. "

"I see... Boss, shall we go in?"

"You dare?"

"Don't dare..."

"I don't dare, what if I guess wrong? So let's not go in, find a way to seal the crack...or destroy it."

"what!?"

"At the beginning, Mi Da left the [Crack] at this position because, according to the situation at that time, this depth was the safest, and it was the most reasonable position that would not sink into the [Wildness] and would not be discovered by other forces on the surface. (Chapter 433 Past events in the center of the earth)
Then, let's change the location of this laboratory-we let the laboratory descend a little deeper, so that perhaps the laboratory will sink into the [wilderness].

We push the laboratory down and into the depths of the waste abyss—even if the laboratory fails to sink into the [wilderness], it will not be taken advantage of by other forces! "

……

The subsequent conversation was almost the same as that described by the spherical Tunguska.

In Daxo's field of vision, after the sound of the conversation between the two fell, the entire laboratory was pushed up.

How did Cyborg Quinn and Big Dog have so much strength?Is it because of borrowing some kind of tool?
This question is currently unknown.

Chen Yan only saw that at the beginning of the push, Daxo's figure appeared in front of the console where the [Crack] was, and pulled the joystick activated by Joseph Lagrange.

He seemed to feel a sense of crisis, a sense of his threatened mission.

The console lever was pulled, only to snap back again.

Nothing happened.

Chen Yan understood that Daxo was just relying on the little bit of poor memory left in his mind to make mechanical movements.

He may know that this action means "stabilizing the rift", and that the stability of the [rift] means that his companions can return safely, but he who has completely lost his mind must not know that the experiment has failed, and the [rift] has collapsed. Today only weak "fluctuations" remain.

The weightlessness caused his body to hit the ceiling of the laboratory, and the broken steel bars penetrated his body. Fortunately, he was already severely decomposed and could not feel the pain.

At this moment, the laboratory has already started to shake - it is about to be pushed into the waste abyss!
Daxo fell to the floor, then got up stiffly, struggled to get to the experimental table, and started to try again.

He pulled the joystick over and over again, failing over and over again. He didn't know how many times he tried this meaningless move.

There was not much time left for him, the degree of shaking in the laboratory became more violent in just half a minute, presumably a fall would happen soon!

He gave up this senseless act.

His stiff brain, which had already lost consciousness, seemed to realize that the [Crack] no longer existed, and the students could not come back.

He seemed to be in pain, hammering his tattered chest over and over again, but how could a living corpse feel pain?
Suddenly, the black opal ring on the knuckles of the fist collided with the cracked flesh on the chest, sparks that were so small that they could hardly be seen.

At the moment when the spark appeared, the space on the test bench in front of Daxo seemed to be slightly "distorted" for a moment.

He didn't notice this "distortion" at all, but just beat his chest.

The black opal ring kept hitting his chest, and bigger sparks appeared, until a moment later, the sparks finally ignited his chest——

There was a fire in his chest.

The flames began to spread along his shattered body until it enveloped him, making him the only light in the darkness.

Holding his broken body, he tremblingly walked towards the experimental platform.

It was also at this time that the sense of weightlessness suddenly came without warning—the laboratory was pushed down!
The weightlessness caused Daxo's body to hit the ceiling, and the extinguished weak flames escaped from Daxo's body, falling on the experimental platform where the [crack] was, igniting the metal used as the [door frame] .

The [door frame] is already dilapidated, not enough to maintain the existence of the [crack], but the "breath" of the [crack] that still exists still has an effect under the "charging" of the flame!
The space was distorted, and the energy in the [door frame] reached the "excited state" enough to open the [Gate of Transcendence] at this moment, and the [crack] was activated again at this moment!
A moment later, a beam of light shone through the laboratory skylight——

Chen Yan looked out along the halo at dusk, and saw that the outside of the skylight was already made of steel, and the [Mushroom City] had risen from the ruins like a rebirth!
The sky covered by thick dark brown clouds in the world of natural disasters always has a sickly aesthetic feeling. The various garbage in the clouds are obviously dirty and filthy. Not so ugly anymore.

Behind the clouds, the shadow of the giant kept flashing, the halo was scattered, and the fungus city above the ground switched between darkness and light, as if appearing and disappearing on the ground.

Synaesthesia ended in this scattered light and shadow.

’ That’s why the lab crashed into Fun City. '

Looking at the ruins of the laboratory in front of him, Chen Yan discovered a serious conflict between reality and events in synaesthesia——

The flames burning on Daxo back then could only support the [Crack] to reach an excited state in an instant.

And Chen Yan and his party were able to enter the fungus city today, and they were able to pass through the "water curtain"-like [crack] to enter the fungus city in the natural disaster world, which shows that the [crack] was opened underground.

This shows that after all the events of the year ended, there was another person who opened the [rift] later.
