Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 137 This World is Just a Huge Makeshift Team
"Yes, old tree."

Lu Xian sorted out his thoughts and said, "That's how it was here back then. High-concentration X-17 strains were used on a large scale, and they were targeting the D-1 type new humans.

"And then people basically died from it, their skin ulcerated and they were terribly tortured.

"But the old tree survived, and so did the observer who used the laptop.

"The observer said he was able to last so long because of the observation site. Could the top of East Mountain, where the old tree originally stayed, also be related to the observation site?"

Yao Wei asked, "It's the green water in that pit. Is it related to the observation field?"

"you're right."

Lu Xian nodded slightly and said, "But I don't know what this observation field is... According to the observer's observation log, the observation field should be a secret, and he didn't reveal it in the log.

"What kind of secret would that be... The log even mentions the X-17 strain, but doesn't specify what the observation site is.

"What kind of thing is more confidential than the X-17 strain?"

Yao Wei asked, "What happened next? What did he say?"

"I'll continue reading."

Lu Xian said, staring at the laptop screen, and continued reading, “So far, no successful receptor for the D-type X-17 strain has been found.

"Those of me who have barely managed to survive by relying on the observation field are nothing more than a disabled version of the Ding-1 receptor. There's no way to escape it.

“The light waterfall is getting stronger, especially after the rain and snow, and you can see it even if you leave Niutou Mountain.

"Everything is wrong, this thing should not have been built in the first place.

"If I hadn't built this thing, the cold snap wouldn't have come, things wouldn't have developed like this, and I wouldn't have endured the high concentration of X-17 strain just to stay here, ending up like this...

"Now, the extreme cold weather has arrived, but most people have died early. Why use immature technology?!
"This world is just a giant makeshift troupe!"

Lu Xian stopped again.

From these words, he felt the observer's deep resentment towards the world, the decision makers, and reality.

For now, all Lu Xian could see was the high concentration of X-17 strain.

It can be seen from the text that Jianshan City was in the midst of a cold disaster at the time, but the weather had not yet reached extreme cold.

Did decision makers previously seem certain that extreme cold weather would eventually arrive, or was there something else going on?
From the discovery in Mengxin City, we can know that in order to cope with the cold disaster, various places launched the D-1 type X-17 strain, allowing people to complete their evolution and become D-1 type new humans.

Or, as stated in the observation log, it is the D-1 receptor.

But this type 1 receptor may only be effective for the initial cold disaster and not in extremely cold weather, so decision makers decided to use a high concentration of X-17 strain, which led to disaster?

So the people in Jianshan City died or ran away, leaving the old tree and the old man to live a miserable life in Xiaogang Village, and leaving this observer to continue his observation mission in Niutou Mountain?
The observer therefore felt resentful and wrote in his last log that this world was just a huge makeshift team.

This is the most reasonable guess we can come up with based on the information we have so far.

But Lu Xian thought about it carefully for a long time, and felt that the observer's resentment did not only come from this.

The statement "this thing should not be made" does not seem to refer to the X-17 strain.

The strain was written directly by the observer in the log. He could have just written it down directly. Is it necessary to refer to it as "this thing"?
There is also a statement in the log that "if this thing is not built, the cold disaster will not come." What could be able to cause a cold disaster?

Lu Xian felt that what was involved here was beyond his common sense.

In fact, many things in this world were beyond common sense, like the X-17 strain, and the new humans like himself, Yao Wei, and Luo Ping. For example, he had originally believed that the end of the world would be caused by a natural disaster, but now, reading what the logs said, it seemed like a man-made disaster.

What kind of man-made disaster could cause such horrific extreme cold weather, and make the world today alternate between cold and hot so frequently that the world seems on the verge of collapse?
And... according to the log, the purple waterfall we saw before was also caused by man-made disasters?

It seems that what the observer at that time observed was this purple waterfall of light?
What kind of man-made disaster could produce such a waterfall of purple light?
I can’t think of it. I can’t think of it at all.

Lu Xian continued reading, but the rest of the observation log still did not reveal the answer Lu Xian wanted:

"That's off topic, forget it, I won't complain anymore.

“Now we are starting to make the final observation - the software cannot be opened, the equipment is lost, the data observation cannot be recorded, the naked eye observation, the sky is clear, and there is no light waterfall.

"Based on previous data, the destructive impact will continue to expand and may directly produce unknown harmful substances.

"Even... previously unreported matter may have been directly generated, but the location of its creation was outside the observation field.

"Observation completed."

"Is it over?"

Yao Wei heard Lu Xian pause again and asked.

Lu Xian said: "It's over."

Yao Wei nodded and said, "Then let's leave here quickly after we finish delivering the things.

"Does this mean that the light in the sky would be in danger?

"In this case, we must leave Jianshan City as soon as possible, or at least leave Niutou Mountain."

"it is good."

Lu Xian agreed. Naturally, he would not disagree with Yao Wei's opinion at this time.

He speculated that the unknown harmful substance mentioned here might be the green water that the old tree in the pit on the top of the east mountain used to bathe.

That green water is extremely harmful to ordinary people, but it has a positive effect on old trees.

The old tree was directly soaked in water, so it survived until now, while the observer may have just been affected by the observation field, so he only lasted for a while before he ran out of energy.

The old tree did not complete its evolution. It relied on green water and high-concentration X-17 strains to become what it is now. It cannot be detected by the resonance gene scanner, but it retains the symptoms of being infected with the strain and has mastered certain abilities.

All kinds of questions and speculations collided in his mind, and Lu Xian became extremely curious about the observation site on Niutou Mountain.

But he also knew that curiosity killed the cat.

This observation log is full of mystery, and the words between the lines also indicate that this place is extremely dangerous. Therefore, Yao Wei will not indulge her own curiosity and take the risk to stay here.

This is the case with Yao, and naturally so is Lu Xian.

In this dangerous world, saving your life is the first priority.

So after Lu Xian confirmed that more than half of the file had been transferred and the rest would be completed in a short while, Lu Xian and Yao Wei waited for a while.

After the transmission is completed, pack up your things immediately, get in the car and set off.

Leave this mysterious place.
