From the gate of heaven

Chapter 152 [Some clues, the destruction of the world is man-made]

Normally, it takes about a thousand hours of learning to learn an unfamiliar human language, and it takes about two thousand hours to master it to a level that is not much different from your native language proficiency.

Lin Ze's learning ability is very strong at the moment.

After being mentally strengthened forty times by Zhutianmen, his understanding and thinking ability has reached a level that surpasses that of ordinary people.

This made Lin Ze's learning speed at this moment dozens of times faster than that of ordinary people.

On the first day of learning World Language No. [-], I have already started to get started. On the second day, I can already master listening, speaking, reading and writing proficiently. On the third day, I have mastered it to a level that is no worse than my own mother tongue.

During this learning process, Lin Ze also gradually gained a preliminary understanding of the history, humanities, and social environment of World No. 3.

Just as Lin Ze had guessed before, before the destruction of human civilization in this parallel world, its technological level was similar to that of the main world, and it was already a mature industrial civilization.

The total population has reached 100 billion, with developed productivity and a prosperous economy and culture.

It is also in a stage where many heroes are emerging internally. Many industrial countries stand side by side in the world, constantly moving forward in competition and cooperation, and looking forward to the existence of the stars and the sea.

Before the destruction of civilization, there was nothing strange everywhere in the world. People worked and lived as usual.

Then destruction suddenly came one day eight years ago.

An unknown virus appears and covers the whole world.

Government, military, factories, schools.
All facilities are under attack.

Some people with weak bodies died directly, but more people lost their rationality and wisdom and began to attack others around them like crazy. The infected were constantly devouring each other, and a small number of people who were naturally immune to the virus were also killed by the chaos. .

The order of the entire society completely collapsed in just a day or two. People everywhere were asking for help, but no one could save themselves.

A small number of lucky people who are immune to the virus have survived by staying away from other people.

Some secret troops who were in top-secret areas and isolated from the outside world survived.

There are also many survivalists who are always worried about the end of the world. They rely on the weapons and supplies they prepared in advance and survived by hiding in a safe area where the virus cannot be infected as soon as they discovered something was wrong.

But more people died in the turmoil. More than [-]% of the people died in the turmoil, and those who were still alive became a real minority.

Then as time passed, the remaining surviving population continued to die due to disease, shortage of supplies, and the hunting of many remaining zombies.

Later, even the zombies starved to death, and there were very few survivors.

The above is the truth that Lin Ze deduced based on the information he found and combined with the last city ruins.

"In an empty world, there are probably only some permanent self-circulating doomsday survival bases and some living people at the moment."

After Lin Ze learned about the events in this world, he felt a little sorry for the people who died.

There is a sigh that things are harmed by their own kind.

There are still living people in this world, but the civilization of this world is almost destroyed.

After sighing, Lin Ze resumed his calm analysis: "A virus with a high fatality rate and a short incubation time appeared all over the world at the same time, and almost instantly defeated the order of the entire human society. This must not be a natural virus attack. , it can only be man-made.”

"Otherwise it wouldn't be so efficient and precise."

"The best case scenario is that the person doing this is a local organization or individual. The worst case scenario is that this is actually an attack from an alien civilization, an efficient means of cleaning up mankind."

"Is there some advanced civilization hidden in this world that is observing the situation here?"

Thinking of this, Lin Ze started to take action.

He began to follow the plan to find large construction companies in this world, and search for those permanent self-circulating doomsday survival bases that still existed in their databases, hoping to learn the truth of the matter through some of the remaining living people.

If the locals caused this world-ending disaster, then the matter would still be within control.

If it were an advanced civilization that could travel across the stars, Lin Ze would give up on this world and leave without saying a word.

No matter how low the combat power of this civilization is, for human civilization that has just entered industrial society a few years ago, it is no different from gods.

It is foolish for mortals to try to challenge gods.
-
5 month 2 day.

The seventh day when Lin Ze discovered World No. 3.

Previously, Lin Ze had been following Yue Sheng, a master of heavenly beings, for a long time. In the process, he began to explore the coordinates of a different world on a large scale. In the end, he lost track of him, but time passed unknowingly during this process.

Lin Ze's drone was cruising in a canyon between mountains.

"If the information is correct, this underground should be a permanent self-circulating doomsday survival base."

Lin Ze stared at the primitive landscape below that looked no different from other places, and whispered in his heart.

This canyon is located on the outskirts of the city. According to the information Lin Ze found in the past few days, there is a survival base built in this canyon by a wealthy man named Fei Qing.

Through the perspective of the drone, you can clearly see that a very grand-looking manor is being built in an open location in the canyon.

It's just that this manor has been neglected and now it has begun to become dilapidated due to weathering.

The doomsday survival base that Lin Ze was looking for was underground in this manor. If Fei Qing was still alive, he would be living in the survival base below.

The drone walked around the manor and saw no obvious areas leading to the underground, nor any traces of human activity.

Lin Ze didn't take it seriously. It was so dangerous outside, so it was normal for the other party to stay underground for the past eight years.

He took the construction drawings of the underground survival base, used the Zhutian Gate to calculate the underground coordinates, and then opened the underground door.

The next moment, Lin Ze saw a dim underground space.

This is a permanent self-circulating survival base. It is modeled after the space environment and has established an air circulation system that can supply human survival. There are also soilless cultivation chambers and breeding bases that provide food sources. They can generate their own electricity or connect to the energy room outside the survival base. .

In addition, a large amount of food and living materials, fuel, repair parts and medicines, as well as living and entertainment areas have been stored in advance.

If they don't get seriously ill, a small number of people can survive here for decades and have no problems at all until the end of their lifespan.

According to the analysis of the construction drawings, this is the gate of the survival base, behind a thick steel wall. Next, the drone began to travel through the base, looking for Fei Qing who lived here.

In the end, Lin Ze was disappointed. Lin Ze did find Fei Qing living here, but he was already dead.

It can be seen from the condition of his death that the other party committed suicide by swallowing a gun.

There was a suicide note beside him. "This world that has been destroyed has no hope anymore. I want to leave this world together with those compatriots who were killed."

A short line with a scrawl and despair.

Fei Qing did not commit suicide because of a shortage of supplies. There were still a lot of supplies in this doomsday survival base.

He felt desperate for a world that had lost most of his compatriots, so he chose to commit suicide.

Lin Ze sighed, then left here, choosing to go to the next survival base to open the box.

Soon, Lin Ze followed the same method and found a second survival base.

But unfortunately, Lin Ze found no one in this survival base.

I don't know if the owner of this survival base failed to hide in this safe zone before the virus broke out, or if he couldn't bear the loneliness and went out alone, and then died outside.

The third, fourth and fifth survival bases are still like this.

It wasn't until the sixth survival base that things finally changed.

The drone flies in the sixth survival base.

Soon, Lin Ze discovered traces of human activity, which was a leftover self-heating food box. Judging from the traces, it didn't last long, just within a few days.

Opened the box successfully.

Lin Ze whispered in his heart.

This proves that Lin Ze's initial idea of ​​​​looking for survivors was not wrong.

"Who are you? Why are you breaking into my house? Don't let your drone come over or I'm going to shoot."

The movement of the drone was particularly noticeable in this quiet underground space. When flying near the living area, Lin Ze heard a stern warning voice from a man.

After his mental perception spread, Lin Ze saw a well-armed middle-aged man with a strong build.

Wearing armor, he held an automatic rifle in his hand and pointed it at the door of the living area. Once Lin Ze's drone flew over, he would shoot.

Behind him, there was also a young and beautiful young woman, and a cute girl who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old. Judging from her facial features, she should be the young woman's daughter.

At this age, it should be eight years ago. When he was four or five years old, his parents took him into hiding in this survival base to avoid the turmoil.

At this moment, the young woman and the girl were also nervously holding guns and pointing at the door.

Seeing them, Lin Ze's face relaxed and a smile appeared.

He had seen too many deaths and tragedies before, but now seeing this family surviving strongly in the apocalypse made him feel healed.

This is the slight hope that emerges from the destruction.

This family can survive in the apocalypse, perhaps because the family can support each other.

"Don't be nervous, I have no ill will."

Lin Ze smiled and spoke. Although his voice was not loud, it was clearly heard by the whole family.

The gentle words calmed the nervous three people very well.

"Hello, I am Lin Ze, Lin Ziyi."

"I came here this time to find out from you what happened in this world eight years ago and why so many people died."

Just as the three people breathed a sigh of relief, they felt another voice ringing in their ears. Then with a light touch in their hands, the firearm that gave them a sense of security had been taken away.

They subconsciously turned their heads in the direction from which the sound came, and saw Lin Ze, who was wearing a biochemical protective suit, arriving beside them at some point, holding the firearm they used for self-protection in his hand.

Seeing this scene, the family's bodies suddenly stiffened.

They didn't need to guess what happened just now, or how powerful Lin Ze was.

Just the muzzle of the gun pointed at them let them know that Lin Ze's order could not be disobeyed at this moment.

"Hello, my name is Lu Yuan, this is my wife Zhang Wenya, and my daughter Lu Mingxue."

"I can tell you what happened, and please don't hurt my wife and daughter."

Lu Yuan raised his hand and smiled bitterly.

No one knows what is happening in the world now better than those who have experienced it, but Lin Ze is asking them what happened, which makes Lu Yuan guess who Lin Ze is?

Have you lived alone somewhere for a long time, isolated from the rest of the world?

Lin Ze unloaded the magazines of their guns and put them aside to ease the tense atmosphere. He pointed to the sofa beside him and said, "Sit down."

The three of them sat down honestly, and at this time Lu Yuan began to talk about the past eight years ago.

"Eight years ago, a virus suddenly attacked the world. You should know about this, right?"

Seeing Lin Ze nodding, Lu Yuan probably understood what Lin Ze wanted to know. He wanted to know some details that he didn't know.

So I began to focus on explaining this aspect: "My family has a small industry and a good family background since I was a child. So when I grew up, I became a survival expert based on my own interests and hobbies, and made sufficient preparations for the imaginary doomsday situations. Prepare."

"My wife and I met because of the same hobbies, and she also supports my career."

"When the end of the world came eight years ago, my husband and I were visiting this survival base with our children. Then the zombie virus suddenly broke out, and the whole world was in chaos. After that, we lived here. "

"At the beginning of the apocalypse, before the Internet was disconnected, someone initiated a count of survivors. The total number of people participating at that time was about 120 million. Even including those who did not participate, it is estimated that there are not 200 million alive in the world. People."

"The Internet was cut off later, and there are probably even fewer people who are still alive today."

"Many people who were still alive at that time were speculating where the virus came from. Later, they all guessed that it was caused by a biological company called Northern Lights. There are many signs. The first is that Northern Lights' boss Chu Ge is the world's number one genius. , and only he could create such a terrifying virus."

"The second reason is that communication satellites in the sky are constantly being destroyed, and many base stations and networks on the ground are gradually failing. The third reason is that after the Internet was interrupted, some radio broadcasts announced from time to time that they had been attacked by unknown persons. attack."

"Most of these radios are nuclear submarines, secret military bases, and other places that are physically isolated from the outside world and will not be destroyed by viruses."

"I don't know anything more. The radio that could be received by the radio in the past few years is no longer available. Our family lives here quietly."
