Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 102 has four parts.
Just as he had predicted in his previous life, in order to release those high-energy neutrinos and wipe out human civilization, this unknown entity actively shut down that layer of negative matter field.

At the same time, because human civilization has been extinct, they no longer need to guard against humans, and the negative matter field has not been activated since then!
Using his special abilities, he exploited this bug and managed to send a group of astronauts to the moon ahead of time, avoiding the high-energy neutrino strike zone. He then took advantage of this opportunity to return to the moon!
Our side finally got a real chance to enter that underground chamber and explore the secrets of this underground base, which is very likely left behind by a super alien civilization!
Nobody knows what they will face next.

Could there be aliens in that base? What form would they take? What would their combat capabilities be? Does the underground base contain any other automated defense systems that we are unfamiliar with, have never encountered, or could not even imagine?
No one knows at this moment.

But everyone, including Jiang Yang, shared the same thought.

This time, we're not here to defeat aliens. We...

They're here to die!
Human civilization has perished, and there is no point in us continuing to live. Our only hope is to exchange our lives for some information to uncover the truth about the apocalypse, so that the next generation of human civilization can continue to live in our place.

To achieve this goal, no matter what lies ahead, we will forge ahead without hesitation and will never retreat in the slightest.

Never will!
Upon receiving the report from astronaut Zhao Jianguo, Tong Zheng took a deep breath and his expression became extremely serious.

"Attention everyone! Get off the bus and proceed on foot!"

"Yes!"

To avoid alerting any potential aliens or facilities, proceeding on foot, as proven in previous lives, is the safest option.

The 15 people got off the vehicle and took out the handcart again to carry the hydrogen bomb, which was the heaviest part and could not be easily carried.

The remaining supplies and equipment that may be needed will be provided by manpower.

Although the spacesuits in this life are much lighter than those in the previous life, and they also have an assist system, combined with the low gravity environment unique to the moon, the numerous supplies and equipment still make it somewhat difficult for the astronauts.

There's no way around it; there's just too much stuff to carry. On average, an astronaut needs to carry a full 200 kilograms of supplies.

Jiang Yang wanted to share some of the burden, but Tong Zheng firmly refused.

With everything prepared, Tong Zheng gave the order again: "Comrades, let's go!"

At a command, the team once again protected Jiang Yang at the core, and a total of 15 people simultaneously took heavy steps, treading on the thick lunar dust, and headed towards the equally desolate and lifeless lunar land ahead.

Time ticked by. With Jiang Yang's guidance and satellite navigation, it took the group more than an hour to finally arrive at the cave entrance.

Square and dark, it was like a path to hell, exactly as Jiang Yang remembered.

In the previous life, they reached a depth of approximately 4000 meters. In this life, they…

We must get to its end and see what kind of bastard is behind this!

"All of you, stand at attention!"

At the command, all 15 people stood still again, their bodies straight, looking up.

That blue planet has once again come into view.

Although there are no more of our compatriots living on this planet at this moment, it is still our home and the source of our spiritual sustenance.

And if they go in this time, it's highly likely that none of them will ever see it again.

Well then... take one last look at it.

After this, we will forge ahead without hesitation, even unto death. This is our mission, our duty, and our promise.

"salute!"

"The ceremony is complete!"
Comrades, let's go!

A total of 15 people got up at the same time, dragging the nuclear bomb cart and carrying heavy supplies, and once again surrounded Jiang Yang at the core of the team, heading towards the cave.

In fact, now that the negative matter field has been confirmed to have disappeared and electromagnetic communication is available, the astronauts could have chosen to use a remote-controlled lunar rover to explore the passage and determine its authenticity.

However, after careful consideration, the people who originally formulated the plan ultimately ruled out this approach and chose to let the astronauts explore on their own.

The reason is simple: given that the astronauts are already doomed to die and their lives are no longer so precious, if there are any anomalies or dangers in this passage, it would be best if the astronauts encountered them first, rather than if they were encountered by machines remotely controlled by people.

Only in this way can we gather as much first-hand intelligence as possible.

In silence, astronauts Zhao Jianguo and Li Hui, who were in charge of the assault team, entered the passage at the same time.

This time, the astronauts were divided into four groups.

Two astronauts tasked with being the assault team first moved forward 200 meters to confirm that it was safe ahead, before a support team of two more astronauts followed, keeping a distance of 200 meters.

After the support team had moved forward about 300 meters, the core of Jiang Yang's team, a total of nine people, caught up.

The eight astronauts remained around Jiang Yang, on high alert, providing him with comprehensive and thorough protection.

After the core of the team moved forward 500 meters, the last two astronauts, who were responsible for rear observation and repositioning, began to move forward.

The entire team was 1000 meters long and maintained communication and coordination with each other via radio.

Time slipped away quietly as we moved forward with heavy hearts.

Jiang Yang knew that the first 4000 meters were likely safe. After all, whether it was the astronauts' first expedition or the second one he participated in, they only encountered the corrosion after 4000 meters.

But this time, the situation might be different.

This time, after all, it's after the apocalypse. Perhaps the aliens hiding in that underground cavity have completed their mission and will leave through this passage, where they might run into us.

The astronauts were on edge.

The grenades were placed in the most easily accessible locations, and the safety on all the firearms in his hands was off, ready to be fired at any time.

Because they could use electric lighting, the astronauts not only illuminated their location but also used methods such as small radar stations to detect the situation ahead as much as possible.

Looking at the route map, Jiang Yang saw that the two astronauts who were tasked with the assault mission had reached a depth of 4000 meters.

If that "corrosion" still exists, it should have already affected the astronauts.

Tong Zheng's voice came through the radio to every astronaut: "Attention, all personnel, stand by!"

"Yes!"
