Survive

Chapter 443 What Happened in the Ruins

In the early morning of the next day, Zheng Lei, who had rested all night, reappeared next to the deep hole in high spirits. There was no change in the hole, and the door was not closed again.However, Zheng Lei is not afraid even if he closes it, because he already knows which triangle pattern to draw to open the door.Zheng Lei went down the underground corridor again, looked back at the "jelly man" corpses lying in the corridor, and then walked into the door.Behind the door was a long staircase. Zheng Lei went down the stairs, and the bottom was pitch black. After Zheng Lei turned on the visual enhancement, he was finally able to see clearly.As he was walking down the stairs, suddenly, Zheng Lei's foot slipped and he was about to fall down, but Zheng Lei reacted very quickly and quickly used Lingbo microsteps to stabilize his body in time.Looking down, I saw a pool of green, thick, almost solid-like things under my feet. It was that kind of jelly-like thing!Zheng Lei now knew that those were formed by humans for unknown reasons. Looking back at the other end of the corridor, Zheng Lei had a flash of inspiration, as if he had thought of something.

Going down the stairs and passing the corner, Zheng Lei found a few more human corpses that had turned into jelly, which further confirmed Zheng Lei's guess.Further down, as Zheng Lei guessed before, there is indeed another layer of space below, and it is larger than the area above.Zheng Lei went down the stairs, and found more "jelly man" corpses, and kept thinking of extending to the other end.Zheng Lei guessed that these survivors came in from other places, and then walked along the ruins, and later they became jelly for unknown reasons. , the survivor went up the stairs he had just passed and entered the upper corridor, ready to go deeper, but was blocked by the huge head and the "Mercury Lake" below, and stayed in that corridor , but in the end he did not escape the fate of becoming a "jelly man".From this point of view, the location where the survivors entered the ruins was elsewhere. If he walked in the direction the survivors came in, he would be able to walk out of the ruins, and maybe he would find something.

I just don’t know why those survivors became like this, was it caused by some kind of power, or was infected by some mutated monster, was it affected by that power outside the ruins, or was infected, or after entering the ruins It was turned into this way.There is also the nuclear explosion outside, and who carried it out for what purpose.Zheng Lei took a deep breath, hoping that with his search, these things would gradually surface.

Judging from the layout inside, this not-so-small space should be a small hall. The various triangular sculptures and murals inside tell Zheng Lei that this place is likely to be an Atlantis ruins. Dare to take it easy, because Zheng Lei has experienced so many things, it can almost be guessed. A long time ago, the Atlantis civilization and the Muria civilization may have existed at the same time, and the two civilizations also interacted with each other. As an enemy, Zheng Lei suffered a lot in the ruins of the Atlantis civilization before accepting the inheritance of the Muria civilization. Now he has integrated the Muria blood and accepted the sword of kingship and the sword of eternal life. The recognition of the sheath has become the inheritor of the Muria civilization. The so-called enemies are extremely jealous when they meet. I am afraid that I will only suffer more suppression and blows in the ruins of the Atlantis civilization.Zheng Lei took out the Tang Dao and adjusted his physical condition in order to deal with the danger that may arise at any time.Although so many survivors have come here, there may not be much danger ahead, but what if those survivors are affected by some kind of force in the process of walking here and become that jelly-like appearance? Woolen cloth?

As Zheng Lei walked, he was looking for the machine that sent out the distress signal. The machine might have been brought in by those survivors. As for why they entered the ruins, it seemed that it could be seen from the content of the distress signal they sent out. When they came out, they suffered a large-scale attack, and what attacked them was a monster they had never seen before.Because if the survivors were attacked by zombies or mutated creatures, they would definitely use names such as "zombies" and "mutated creatures" in the distress signal, instead of "unknown" in the distress signal. The famous monster".From this, connecting all the clues, Zheng Lei almost figured out a possibility—these survivors were attacked by a monster they had never seen before, and some of them accidentally entered the underground ruins during the defeat , and escaped the attack of monsters in the underground ruins, and sent out a distress signal to call for help.But unexpectedly, they were infected with some kind of virus by those monsters, or they were affected by some kind of defense force in the ruins after entering the ruins, and died in the process of fleeing and became "jelly men".After the monsters on the ground broke through the survivor's base, they were out of control, and another force triggered a nuclear explosion to wipe out those monsters.

Although it was just a guess, Zheng Lei felt that the guess was basically close to ten.

Well, there are still two questions in the middle, first, how did the monsters besieging the survivors' base appear, and second, who caused the nuclear explosion to wipe out those monsters.As long as these two points are clarified, the task issued by the system should be able to be completed.

Zheng Lei walked along the road full of survivors who had turned into jelly-like corpses. There was a dead silence in the underground space, and the slightest sound would be amplified by the environment.Suddenly, Zheng Lei heard a burst of "beeps" that seemed to be there, those sounds were faint, as if they existed and did not exist, Zheng Lei stopped, held his breath and carefully distinguished the line of defense of the sound, vaguely, The mechanical sound of "beep beep" seemed to gradually become clearer in Zheng Lei's ears. Zheng Lei followed the sound and found a small hidden door on the wall.The stone door was ajar, Zheng Lei pricked up his ears and listened carefully for a while, making sure that the faint "beep" sound came from inside.Zheng Lei bent down to enter the stone gate, and behind it was a narrow corridor. After Zheng Lei entered it, he could only walk forward stooping, unable to straighten up.At the end of the corridor, another stone door appeared, also half-opened and half-closed. Zheng Lei pushed the stone door hard and looked back. Behind it was a stone room that was not too big. But to Zheng Lei's surprise, that Inside the stone room, it looks like the console that Zheng Lei has seen in science fiction movies. A large platform is directly opposite to the eyes. The platform is inlaid with two triangular crystals, and there is a faint trace of blue on the crystal. The color light is twinkling!
Zheng Lei went into the stone room. Behind the door of the stone room, Zheng Lei saw a jelly-thawed corpse again. However, the degree of jelly-thawing of this corpse was much lower than those outside. At least, his body His clothes are still there, and he can still vaguely see the darker bones inside his body.Zheng Lei squatted down in front of him, picked up the clothes on the body with a Tang knife, and found that a corner of the clothes had also turned into a green jelly shape, fused with the body.Zheng Lei took back the Tang Dao and put the clothes back, but suddenly heard a "pop", looked down, and found that a small book fell out of a pocket of the clothes, and there was a very short book pinned to it. A small piece of pencil.Zheng Lei was overjoyed immediately, what the hell, my brother likes people who have the habit of keeping a diary the most!

Zheng Lei bent down, quickly picked up the small book on the ground, opened it, and found that there were not many pages in it.Zheng Lei turned to the first page, there was no date written on it, but judging from the content, it was recorded after entering the ruins.

"I don't know if the monsters outside have left. We fled into the ancient tomb we just discovered, but we couldn't get out. The boss sent people to find the exit, but no one came back. Everyone was in panic!" The first part of the small book On the first page, he wrote a few short words in a student-like font. Zheng Lei looked away at the corpse on the ground. He was not tall, but he should be young. Junior high school students only.

Zheng Lei continued to turn back, and on the back of the first page, there were a few lines of small words: "Someone has mutated, and the boss said they were infected, so they must be killed! As a result, they turned into green slimes. Everyone Don’t dare to approach the past for fear of being infected.”

Uh... Slime... This, the jelly-like corpse really looks like a slime!
"The boss found a control room, but he couldn't operate it. Everyone was very frustrated." On the next page, it was written in the same small student-like font: "We may not be able to get out of this ancient tomb."

It turned out that these survivors regarded the relics of prehistoric super civilization as ancient tombs.Thinking about it, Zheng Lei continued to turn the page, and there were also a few short sentences recorded on the next few pages, but from those records, Zheng Lei almost understood what happened after the survivors entered the ruins.It’s just that I can’t get out from the original door, and people continue to be inexplicably infected and become “jelly people”. Later, some survivors accidentally opened the door above the steps, some survivors entered the corridor, and others just started Those who showed signs of jelly-thawing stayed, and in order to prevent those who entered the corridor from being infected, the door of the corridor was closed again.And this junior high school student was also one of the infected and stayed behind.

However, Zheng Lei looked down at the jelly-melted corpse on the ground and had a question.
