abyss rose

Chu Ci leaned over, staring straight at the notebook in Ye Qing's hand.

Chai Yuening took it for her. It was a thin book, even the cover was cracked along with the scroll, and they opened the first page of the past.

"I came here and didn't think about leaving.

——2169.09.27"

Ye Qing: "I've checked the information. Senior Zhang Hanqing was not the original black vine researcher. At the age of 32, she had achieved certain achievements in the industry and received a private invitation from the secret research institute. She knows that entering the secret research institute means Before the research results come out, she will lose her original freedom, but in order to find a way to resist the infection, she resolutely gave up everything and resolutely participated in this shady research."

Chai Yuening couldn't help feeling a little awe in her heart, and turned backwards carefully.

The handwriting in the notes is beautiful, the words are concise, just one or two lines of words, and a long date is attached, which is the work situation of the day.

The research of those researchers is not going well. They are constantly researching and experimenting, from animals to humans, and they seem to be close to success again and again, but they fail without turning around.

At first, the time span of the record was very large, and the content did not have much personal emotion. All that could be seen was the perseverance of a great scientific researcher.

But later, slowly, some words similar to emotional breakdown appeared in the notes.

"The initial research was to save people, and the later research was to save the world. But people and the world have never been researched and saved. Only we are killing people and never stop.

——2173.02.16"

"What's going on in the outside world, no one knows. The outside voices can't get in, and the inside voices can't get out. We're trapped here, prisoners of failure.

——2174.12.21"

"In the new year, someone died, self-defeating. No one here is absolutely normal, and I will go crazy one day, right?

——2175.01.01"

"You shouldn't cry in front of others, but if you don't cry, you won't find out. He is gentle and sensible.

——2175.02.14"

The notes start from here, and the word "he" appears frequently, without a name, and each mention is only a few words, but it can make people feel that this "he" has given Zhang Hanqing a glimmer of hope to persevere.

The time is approaching the year of the catastrophe.

"The new signing of the agreement is a 16-year-old girl, her eyes are brown red, rare, very beautiful, it is a pity.

——2177.05.18"

"Bubble water, a kid's thing in the last century, is the only thing he can make to make little girls happy.

——2177.05.20"

"It was a bad operation, it didn't go well.

——2177.05.24"

"The child's post-operative changes were very special. I've never seen such a difficult situation. She asked me, would she turn into a monster? I thought so, but I lied to her.

——2177.06.09"

"I have never seen or expected such a result. The various indexes show that the child has perfectly integrated with Hei Teng, without infection or mutation. This is like a miracle. We all see hope. Looking forward to her waking up .

——2177.08.15"

Most of the content in the notes has become positive, but who knows, there is no hope for the future.

Chai Yuening flipped the notes backwards, and couldn't help but catch her breath.

"I heard a terrible sound, someone said that a nuclear war enough to destroy mankind has begun.

——2177.08.19"

In Zhang Hanqing's notes, they even saw a mushroom cloud rising from a distant city, and the people in the secret research institute fell into endless panic.

How is the outside world? Is my hometown still there?

They don't know, they only know that the research has not been stopped, and the experiment will continue.

After being imprisoned here for so many years, they have long been derailed from the world, and no one came to pick them up, so they had nowhere to go.

The girl hadn't woken up after successfully merging the black vine, like a vegetable, the so-called hope seemed to be still far away.

In October of 2177, the Secret Research Institute completely lost contact with the outside world, and research supplies were interrupted. Someone said: "It's over, everything is over."

Suddenly there was a riot inside the institute, some people didn't want to continue like this, they shouted to leave and go home.

The world is about to end, they don't want to die in this prison-like ghost place.

In those few days, some people were injured, some fled, and some huddled in the research institute, trying to rely on the food stored in the research institute to survive, waiting for rescue from outside.

The last time "he" was mentioned in the note, there was only one sentence: he is gone, if the world is really destroyed, he will die outside, and I will die here, and I will never see you again.

The shallow feelings between the lines died without any problems before they sprouted.

Chai Yuening faintly realized that the "he" in Zhang Hanqing's notes might be Shi Wenlin. They all survived the disaster, but they did not see each other until their death.

After that, the remaining researchers waited in the institute for a long time, and the time passed day by day. The world seemed to be really destroyed. They could not contact the outside world at all, like living on an isolated island.

The ecology outside has become strange, strange-looking creatures have begun to appear, and human beings seem to have really disappeared.

On a snowy night half a year later, they almost collapsed, and finally waited for rescue from the outside world.

All the research results, including the sleepy girl, were transferred to the floating city far away from the ground.

From despair to hope, there are still only a few short sentences in the notes.

Another few months passed, and the girl who had been sleeping for a long time suddenly woke up. Zhang Hanqing thought that hope came again, but before he could be happy, he was frightened by the girl's abnormality.

"She started talking nonsense.

——2178.04.19"

"How can anyone think they're a plant? She's not uninfected, she's gone mad.

——2178.04.20"

"She wanted to run away, she wanted to go back, and she even started attacking us, but the spikes on her cane were not contagious.

——2178.04.27"

The sporadic complaints lasted for more than half a month, and the longest line in the notes appeared.

"The damage to the upper frontal cortex and hippocampus is irreversible, and they want to turn a person into a sample.

Even a lunatic should not be pushed to such an operating table.

But I can't change anything, I was never a good person, I will go to hell when I die.

——2178.05.22"

Seeing this, Chai Yuening couldn't help but gasped.

"It should be the removal of the hippocampus, and the removal of the white matter that was banned in the middle ages of the old world. The former has an impact on memory, and the latter was used for mental illness. No matter how manic the mental patient is, as long as the white matter is removed, everything will be restored. Be quiet. But later people discovered that such an operation will only turn a person from a lunatic into a fool." Ye Qing said here, seeing Chai Yuening's expression was wrong, he quickly added, "But everything is not so bad, maybe it's fusion Without Hei Teng, her self-healing ability is far stronger than that of ordinary humans, at least when Dr. Yi took over her, her body did not have any defects in various detectors."

Chu Ci couldn't help lowering his eyes, but he still didn't speak, he just reached out and flipped the notes backwards.

After that, there was a missing page in the note, and the missing part should have been neatly torn off with a ruler.

After the missing page, it will be 2179.

Zhang Hanqing's notes once again returned to the original calm state without emotion.

Such a record suddenly stopped without warning after the sentence "the base announced the death of sample A0027".

Chai Yuening subconsciously turned over ten more pages, and some words were hidden in the white pages at the back.

"She really won't grow old."

"No matter how many years have passed, I still can't let it go. I want to take a look at that place, if I still have a chance to find it in this life."

These two sentences, without any date marks, are handwritten as before.

But afterward, there appeared extremely illegible, and even manic words.

"No one believes me, I really saw it, no one believes me!"

"His wrath will consume the world!"

"We're going to hell!"

On the last page of the note, there is a completely unfamiliar handwriting.

[Getting this notebook was an accident among accidents. I picked a topic that everyone was not optimistic about, and accidentally glimpsed a secret that no one believed when I told it.

Dr. Zhang Hanqing's words were very confusing, making it hard to get a clue, but after sorting out and taking notes, I probably understood what Dr. Zhang Hanqing wanted to tell me.

After waking up, sample A0027's temperament changed drastically, and she felt insane. She felt that she came from a depth of [-] meters. She wanted to escape, she wanted to go back, and she felt that everything in front of her was very strange.But the base needs her, she is one in a million, the hope of human beings against infection.In order to calm her down, the base decided to perform a cruel operation on her.

The operation was very successful, and the specimen behaved much better.

Two years ago, the doctor went to the ground, and she found the place she wanted to find in the depths of the foggy area, where she saw "Him", the ecological mother flower blooming in the abyss of [-] meters.

She said he was alive, she could hear his wrath, he was taking revenge on mankind.

I believed it, I actually believed it.

Reason tells me that I cannot publish any news in the base for her remarks, or even her life.Because of that, I might be arrested and lose my freedom forever.

But I couldn't restrain the impulse in my heart. I wanted to help her, and I even wanted to tell the hidden truth.

Maybe I should give it a try, try my best, and at least not regret it. 】

This reporter did make some attempts, and died in prison for this. He regretted that no one would know about it. Anyway, the buried secret has not been brought to light.

But at least he kept the notebook.

"This looks like a fairy tale..." Ye Qing said, with a wry smile, "But, we have all seen the appearance of Zhang Hanqing after the mutation, haven't we? Even if she is frightened crazy, say Some of the exaggerated words can never be faked."

All studies have shown that Heivine cannot actively infect humans, but she was indeed infected by Heivine.

"Dr. Yi was also puzzled until she saw this notebook." Ye Qing said, "Ordinary black vines are not acceptable, but what if it is unusual?"

"Ordinary black vines can't fuse with humans, but what if it's unusual?" She said, looking at Chu Ci again, "Is there a possibility that you are not a human being fused with black vines, you are a human being fused with the black vines of humans."

"You are not one in a million, you are not the hope of mankind. Human beings have never succeeded even once in the struggle of gene fusion." She sighed softly, and said what Yi Shuyun said to her before leaving the research institute today What I said before, "Human beings have never retained their own self-awareness in any fusion operation."

If this is the truth, it would be too ironic.

She can't find the past that belongs to human beings.
