I am immortal with scientific thinking

"Is there a signal blocker here, and a high-specification one that even makes the radar useless?" Su Mu looked at the screen displayed on the smart helmet in front of him and said in a deep voice.

"Normal. Those monsters have learned to use human technology. Although they are not very skilled or even innovative, they rely on their numbers and the Skynet system, so it is very easy for them to search for surviving humans. If there is no mystery here, there are a lot of survivors, and meat is the problem." Lin Chen carefully observed the surrounding environment and said casually, "But what I really wonder is, why there is no trace of human footsteps here, is there a special cover-up?"

Although signal jammers can be used to block the lock of various electronic signals, and this area is in the suburbs and tends to be a private villa area, it is understandable that the monster did not find this place for a while.

But the problem is that this disaster must have happened at least one or two months ago, and it must have been very sudden and rapid, leaving no one in the city with time to react, otherwise Tianhai City would not have failed to receive any distress signals.

In this case, supplies in this kind of private villa area should be quite scarce. Not to mention how many survivors there are, even if there are, they should not be able to last for more than one or two months. Sooner or later, they will have to go out to search for supplies.

But no matter how I look at it, it doesn't look like anyone has walked here. Was it specially covered up, or...

Ok?
Lin Chen, who was walking, seemed to have noticed something. When he saw the one covered with metal, he gently wiped the wall, and the dust dispersed, revealing a faint dark red mural behind it, which seemed to be carved by someone.

"A group of people are kneeling down, and this thing that has consumed so much ink and brush, but still has no shape to draw..."

Why does it feel like something that was carved on the rock wall by people in ancient times, recording the barbaric sacrifices to those unknown things as gods in those ancient times?

"Dr. Lin!"

Just when Lin Chen frowned and was about to wipe away the dust completely to see more clearly, two figures suddenly ran out one after the other.

One was the captain of the special forces team, a young man whom Lin Chen did not recognize, but who was wearing a white coat and looked like a scholar, but was also very handsome.

“Huh—great, you’re all okay.” The captain heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Chen, and then quickly said, “Come on, no more words, follow me quickly, don’t expose this survivor base.”

Lin Chen put his hand down, looked at the wall with an inexplicable expression, and then looked away:
"it is good."

Soon, the two of them, led by the captain and the young man in the white coat, quickly walked deeper into the cave.

On the way, Lin Chen's eyes moved slightly and he took a look at the captain in front of him:
"Although I don't know the specific situation, why is it that the person who led us this time is not only you, but also someone we don't know? Who is he?"

Before the captain could answer, the young man in the white coat said:
"Hello, Dr. Lin, my name is Li Nuowei, and I am the leader of this survivor base, and also..."

Having said this, he paused for a moment before continuing:
"It's also from this city's Paranormal Research Institute branch... huh?!"

"Huh?!" Lin Chen and the other person's eyes instantly shifted to him.

As a relevant researcher, an insider of supernatural events, and now the leader of the survivor base, he must know some important information about the completely fallen Yuncang City, such as the origin of monsters and the pattern of killing.

And this is the key to their action this time!
"What is going on with all this?" Lin Chen looked at the scientist who called himself Li Nuowei with a cold expression. "How did these monsters that can replace humans come into being? How did this city fall without anyone noticing? Why didn't anyone report all this to the Tianhai Military Region or even the top leaders of the civilization!"

Even though intelligence from all sources had confirmed that the city had completely fallen, the top leaders of the entire civilization still couldn't believe that a city with a population of over a million had disappeared from the map of human civilization so unnoticed.

If this matter had not been exposed a year earlier, or even a month earlier, not only would it have been enough to attract millions of Donghua troops to surround it, even at least half of the Civilization Academicians would have had to come here in person to investigate.

By then, no matter what kind of evil spirits are hidden behind this city, they will have to face the full-scale revenge of human civilization, and even the ancient Donghua Kingdom with a history of 5,000 years.

But unfortunately, this disaster was not discovered early, nor was it discovered late, but was discovered on the eve of the supernova explosion, which caused the S-level disaster evolution disaster to detonate prematurely.

At this time, in order to protect nearly 10 billion people of the entire human race, the overall defense of 25 civilized cities, and countless small cities, neither Donghua nor mankind can spare any extra energy, so they can only give up helplessly.

But this does not mean that many high-level officials are really willing to hand over a city to the hands of monsters. It is true that the city is doomed to fall, but no matter who it is or what kind of existence it is, if they dare to kill it, they must make the other party pay the price.

Therefore, the seven-day mission that Lin Chen has currently accepted is not only to find out the situation, but most importantly, to find out who is the mastermind behind the scenes.

After all, as a nation that believes in revenge even if it’s ten generations old, we will certainly give in temporarily for the sake of the overall situation, but this does not mean that we will allow ourselves to be bullied.

You know, when the Donghua people record history, their glory is only recorded in the style of the Spring and Autumn Period, but their hatred is recorded in books!
Blood debt can only be repaid with blood!
Li Nuowei heard Lin Chen's murderous question and was silent for a long time. Finally, he slowly said:
"The reason why this city fell, all stems from... an experiment."

"An experiment?" Lin Chen frowned and said, "You mean, this horrific disaster that caused the entire city to fall and killed nearly a million people was caused by an experiment of yours?!"

"Yes, it is... an experiment."

Li Nuowei's expression became extremely complicated at this moment, with entanglement, regret, hatred, and even a trace of fear that was deep in his bones and could not be erased.

All the past of this city, the source of its fall, everything, were told in his narration, revealing to Lin Chen and the others the city's unchangeable past.

The beginning of the story is always extremely gentle.

The source of the disaster is not any sin, but originates from human beings' exploration of the unknown.

If the truth of the universe is like the endless ocean, then human beings are like living on a small island called ignorance in the dark ocean. This ocean is vast and contains countless secrets. Facing the endless unknown, human beings can only explore and go deeper. Only in this way can they have the opportunity to witness the truth of the world and make great discoveries.

Legend has it that when humans first invented wireless communications and listened to distant voices transmitted by radio for the first time, they actually heard sounds that seemed to come from the abyss of hell.

When humans first launched the exploration satellite 'Emma' to the surface of Pluto, during an observation from the back of the sun, we got our first glimpse of the huge eye in the black crack of the universe.

When humans conquered the power of the ocean for the first time and reached the deepest known ocean, we discovered an ancient palace sleeping under the ocean...

Every time humans challenge the unknown, there are always huge risks and opportunities of touching taboos. For many top scholars, the greater the risk, the greater the opportunity.

Therefore, at the end of the last century, when the global financial crisis forced the emergence of new technologies, many of humanity’s top scholars came together and decided to explore the forbidden barrier in their areas of expertise!
In order to open up a new era of development through technological innovation and avoid the arrival of the third season, countless top scholars who want to stop the war decided to study the spiritual realm that has never been touched by mankind and touch the deepest core of the subconscious!
The leader was a Western German scholar named Hydra Sotos. When he was a student, he participated in a research project under Professor Winter of Miskatonic University.

While studying the effects of special sound waves on the human brain, he accidentally discovered that special sound waves had abnormal mental effects on schizophrenia patients. When the sound waves reached a certain part of the patient's brain, they suddenly and mysteriously dissipated.

You know, this sound wave can penetrate even the 5000-meter deep sea, let alone the human brain...

This unique phenomenon quickly attracted the attention of the entire academic community and even attracted the support of many capital giants.

Because in the context of a long-term global economic recession, humanity urgently needs to be able to create new technologies and further improve productivity in order to avoid the growing social contradictions that will cause the entire world to fall apart.

In addition, since this involves the legendary realm of the soul, which has always been controversial but extremely desired by humans, this research quickly attracted the attention and support of countless high-level social figures.

The highest level laboratories, countless financial support, volunteers of all skin colors selected from all over the world, and the top scientific researchers... It can be said that in a corner unknown to the public, an experiment that brings together the technologies of human civilization has begun.

The result of the experiment was not surprising... failure.

Li Nuowei didn't know the reason for the failure, nor did he know why no one mentioned it again. He only knew that his mentor, as one of the Donghua researchers, seemed to have been worried about the failure after returning to his country.

According to common sense, once such a large-scale experiment fails, there will be no possibility of restarting it, and the matter should have ended there.

Thus, the world situation just keeps rolling forward, the economy is in a long-term depression, social contradictions eventually accumulate, and the third world season breaks out... until the fine structure constant returns to zero, countless universes overlap, and the [idealistic invasion] arrives.

In order to find ways for civilization to survive, scholars from the entire scientific community began to explore the possibility of survival within their own fields.

So this experiment was restarted by Li Nuowei's mentor.

But even if it was restarted, he didn't know the reasons and details of the failure of the experiment, so he didn't know the direction.

Until one day, he came across an academic paper on the study of abnormal civilizations from different dimensions in supernatural events.

The academic paper tells about an extinct anomalous race in an early dimensional universe. They mastered the ability to transform spirit and mind into a universal energy. From them, they learned the concept of "mind barrier" and found that it is widely present in the spirit of intelligent life.

In the civilization of that abnormal race, they believe and are very sure that behind the spiritual barrier of all things lies the final destination of the hearts of all things, which is an unknown area belonging to God's forbidden zone.

As long as you tear open a corner of the mental barrier, you can obtain the leaked energy from the unknown area and control the magical power. The entire race and civilization will be incredibly sublimated.

It’s just that the mental barrier is the shackles that the Creator imposes on the rationality of all things, and it is also a kind of protection for all things.

The consequences of tearing open the mental barrier at will are horrible. Becoming a madman or dying suddenly is the luckiest outcome. Being eroded by the power behind the mental barrier and transformed into a vicious beast that is always in fear is the most tragic consequence...

The paper mentioned later that mental barriers do exist widely in the spirit of all things, but the civilization of this abnormal race is not suitable for humans, because humans' mental and physical fitness cannot control this power like theirs. Human mental barriers are dozens of times thicker than theirs. Not to mention that eroding the mental barriers will cause human sanity to collapse, it is simply impossible for us to tear open that thick wall.

Moreover, the mental barrier is not a barrier in our human concept. The thicker it is, the more imperceptible and undetectable it is. Only in those with weak wills and mental breakdown can its existence be captured by human instruments.

After reading the academic paper, the instructor recalled Professor Hydra’s sound wave experiment, and realized that the sound waves suddenly dissipated during the experiment because they encountered a mental barrier!

"The mentor was very excited about this. He believed that he had discovered a field that humans had never set foot on. He himself was already one of the people below the echelon of the civilized academicians. If he could succeed in his research, fame, wealth and status would be secondary. The most important thing was that everything he did could contribute to the future of human civilization as a whole. So he served as the director of the Yuncang City Supernatural Research Institute branch, hoping to make a breakthrough in this unfinished project."

"But he thought again that if we follow Professor Hydra's original research, it would be imperfect, because if we want to prevent humans from becoming evil beasts of desire and obtain power comparable to that of a higher dimension, we need a gear to stabilize them, and at the same time we need the power to break through the mental barrier. Considering various factors, we finally took the risk and tried one thing, and this is also the source of all disasters..."

"So, the demise of these millions of people originated from a... failed experiment?!"

Su Mu was dumbfounded and felt a sense of absurdity in his heart. Lin Chen's expression also changed slightly and he sighed.

He then continued:
"So what did you try to cause such a change?"

Li Nuowei remained silent at this moment, and after a long while, he said softly:
"We injected the source of the S-class disaster, the [Evolution Virus], into the human brain." (End of this chapter)
