Apocalypse: I watch a survival game in a safe house

The projection screen shone with a cool white light, and the information covering the entire wall was scrolling rapidly.

Lu Keran and Li Yangyang are helping to organize the data.

Yang Xinxin leaned against the table with her arms crossed, watching quietly.

The title on the screen is simple.

[Elon Freeman Mars Program Archives Collection]

This document was just sent to me by Blatter.

It consists of internal records from the Pupil Organization from twenty years ago, plus some deep space observation data that were "only intercepted and not made public".

These are absolutely impossible to obtain through normal channels.

The video file opened to reveal an old video with slightly compressed image quality.

The man in the picture has slightly curly hair, a very short beard, a thin face, but his eyes are frighteningly bright.

He stood at the center of a metal section, with a row of cryogenic chambers gleaming blue behind him.

He is laughing.

That kind of laughter wasn't happiness, it was fervor.

It's like someone throwing themselves into a fire and still sincerely believing that the flames are purifying the world.

"I won't wait for the end of the world."

"I will send the spark of humanity away ahead of time!"

"You only truly begin to take responsibility for civilization when you realize that Earth is unreliable."

"We must have a second base, a second mother nest."

"And I will become the creator god of a new human civilization!"

This person is Elon Freeman.

Colombia's richest man twenty years ago, a rocket fanatic, and a Martian colonization zealot.

He is also a well-known semi-collaborator in the "Pupil Organization"—always treating others as tools and always following his own schedule.

In his proposal, one word was highlighted and appeared repeatedly.

【Mars Origin Point】

Yang Xinxin circled this part and enlarged it.

She pointed her fingertips in the air, her obsidian-like eyes gleaming brightly.

"The landing site he chose is called the 'Mars Origin'."

"It's not a romantic name that was chosen on the spur of the moment; it's the 'origin' in a geological sense."

Zhang Yi raised his chin and said with great interest, "Explain it in detail."

Yang Xinxin opened a 3D topographic map.

It was a geological structure with radial patterns.

It resembles a huge impact crater, but it is not simply a meteorite crater.

Like the folds of a mountain range, yet converging downwards in an unusual way.

In the topographic profile, the underground texture of this area collapses towards the center, like a huge tenon, with its core pulled out, leaving a cavity.

She pointed to that area and said slowly:

“The underground density in this area is abnormal.”

"The conventional distribution of igneous rocks does not hold true. Therefore, there is a high probability of the existence of high-energy veins, or in other words, energy parent deposits."

"The term 'origin' is not a geographical designation, but an energy designation."

"For Freeman, this is the first stop in colonizing Mars. Because once they land, they are destined not to return, and energy is a necessary condition if they want to establish a permanent base!"

Zhang Yi did not hide the fire in his eyes.

He squinted at the marked "origin" like a hunter eyeing a perfectly cooked piece of meat.

"In other words, this Martian origin is a place overflowing with wealth!"

"The best landing site that Elon Freeman chose saved us a lot of trouble in finding energy-rich areas."

He pointed to the Martian origin: "We just need to follow their trajectory and land in this area, right?"

"That's the theory."

Yang Xinxin continued scrolling down.

The footage documented Freeman and his "volunteer team".

In the scene, dozens of humans wearing old-fashioned hard-shell spacesuits stand in two rows.

The equipment looked crude, but it could barely be considered an "early immigrant kit".

In addition to the life support system, there are also a batch of biological community samples in the cryogenic chamber.

Germination-forming soil bacteria, nutrient algae, and radiation-resistant micro-moss.

This is not an expedition.

This is the pioneering team.

They didn't just go to take a look; they went to create a civilization.

If civilization is established, they will become the gods of creation in myths and legends.
