abyss rose

The base has just experienced a sudden battle, and many equipments have been damaged to varying degrees. The population of the base is not large, only the last seventy or so people are left.

The people who still had enough strength dragged their bodies to stop the bleeding, and numbly cleaned up the corpses that could be seen everywhere. Most of them came from strange beasts, and a small part came from their companions who lived together day and night.

Some people died, and their identities in life could still be distinguished from the stumps and broken arms, but some people died after being completely mutated in the melee, and fell into a pool of blood piled up with the corpses of alien beasts. People also cannot tell who they are.

The former can be buried like a human being, while the latter can only be thrown into the wilderness to be eaten by other beasts.

The living people don't want to do this, but the base in the fog area is too small, the surviving population is too small, and their remaining strength is too limited, so there is no other choice at all.

The corpses piled up like a mountain were dealt with one by one, but the blood-soaked bricks and soil could not be scrubbed clean for a while.

The doctors in the infirmary are also saving lives with injuries.

The suffering has just passed, and the people shrouded in grief cannot relax their vigilance.

Uncle was gone, An Li went out to collect samples by himself.

After the thick fog that had existed since she could remember things cleared away, the scene along the way was extremely strange to her eyes, and the strangeness made her feel lonely and desolate.

The adults in the base said that this world should have been like this, but she didn’t know, she had never seen it, in her view, this world just changed, and everything she was familiar with disappeared—the fog dissipated, She took away her relatives and friends, and also took away her limited and wrong understanding of the world.

It was a good thing, but she felt empty in her heart.

Without the cover of the vast fog, the base looked even smaller under the vast sky, under the sun and the moon.As small as a particle in the world, it can disappear without a trace when the wind blows.

——The world has changed, what should they do when they are about to lose all their strength?

This is an invisible panic that engulfs this small base. People don't speak up, but everyone feels the unknown confusion from the future.

In the afternoon, the scorching sun beats down on the base in the jungle.

An Li gently pushed open the door of the research room, and the cold air from the air conditioner filled the room. The old man sat by the window with his eyes closed, basking in the long-lost sun.

The room was so quiet that there was no sound at all, the glaring sunlight shone on the nearly withered body, and the pale hair seemed to be a little golden.

An Li stood at the door and tentatively called, "Sir?"

Shi Wenlin moved a little, and responded with a weary "Yeah".

An Li: "Sir, everyone's physical examination has been completed, and the mutation has stopped."

Shi Wenlin nodded slowly: "Although I don't know what happened, the crazy era of mutual infection and mutation between species has passed."

An Li walked to his side: "Are human beings safe?"

Shi Wenlin: "For the time being, yes, our understanding of this world may start anew."

An Li: "But we don't have many people left."

Shi Wenlin: "Children, one day, the humans outside will come to pick you up."

The husband said that the two newcomers left with the hope of the base. They will definitely bring the news of the existence of the base to Floating Void City, and they will definitely let humans find this small place that seems to be forgotten by the whole world. .

The husband also said that human beings will always return to the crowd, whether it is from rivers to the sea, or from fallen leaves to their roots.

It's just that the person who died before that is like water disappearing into the water, and the huge world seems to have never really been here.

Since then, An Li has been waiting, waiting for the humans outside to find this desperate place.

Day, day, day after day.

Several seriously injured people bid farewell to this world, the small base in the fog zone, and finally 67 people remained.

On a sunny afternoon, people who were still in pain heard the roar of the plane.

An Li looked up at the distant sky. The sun was undoubtedly dazzling, but she half-closed her eyes and refused to close her eyes. While watching the planes approaching, she jumped and shouted, wishing to pull her back Everyone nearby, everyone raised their arms and cheered for the same kind from outside.

The moment the plane landed outside the base, they were finally no longer outliers.

The familiar face finally appeared again, An Li ran forward quickly, his eyes were wide open, and his eyes were full of unspeakable joy.

She grinned at Chai Yuening, her sour eyes filled with tears.

Chai Yuening came back, but there was no figure of Chu Ci by his side.

An Li didn't dare to ask any more questions, but brought Chai Yuening to Shi Wenlin.

She sent people to the door, and when she was about to leave, she saw Chai Yuening handing an old notebook to Shi Wenlin, saying that it recorded the reasons for the changes in the world.

A moment of curiosity made An Li stand by the door for a while longer.

The notes were placed on the table, and Shi Wenlin looked through them silently with a magnifying glass. After looking at them for an unknown amount of time, he closed them, looked out the window for a long time, and finally said a word.

"Zhang Hanqing, I still remember her."

The tone is flat, but for some reason, there is a bit of sadness that is right and wrong.

An Li didn't stay any longer, after all, there were still many things to be busy outside.

In the following time, she helped pack things under the arrangement of her elders. After three days, everyone would take a plane to leave this foggy base that was no longer filled with fog.

The place where the plane will go is the base of the dungeon.

It was said that the Floating Void City was nearly destroyed in the final battle, and all the surviving population had been transferred to the southern underground city.

The high-tech city that had been hanging in the sky for a long time no longer existed.

Lan Yi was in a daze for a while when he heard the news, but in the end he didn't say anything, just followed everyone and dragged their luggage onto the plane.

This was the first time An Li flew into the sky, and it was also the last time she looked back at the place where she grew up.

Uncle Liu promised to take her to fly. Although Uncle Liu is no longer there, the uncle who flew the plane was also named Liu, and it seemed like fate took her to go to the crowd.

She lay by the window, watching the small base disappear into the jungle, and then the jungle into the mountains, and the mountains into the sea of ​​clouds.

She couldn't help asking softly, "Is the dungeon really buried underground?"

Liu An: "Yes, that is a solid fortress, which successfully resisted the last wave of beasts."

An Li: "Then how many people are there?"

Liu An: "Less than one hundred thousand."

An Li: "So many!"

Liu An: "...Yes, many people survived."

As the human officer spoke, the gloom in his eyes dissipated a little.

He chanted slogans in the base almost numbly for a lifetime, experienced the reform of the infection policy, the crash of the outer city, the forced landing of the main city, and finally the entire base was merged into the dungeon.

All the hopelessness is reflected in his heart. At this moment alone, he sees light in the eyes of a little girl, pure and full of hope.

He couldn't help thinking that although the dead humans had turned into a huge and cold number, there were still many people who survived.

The researchers of the two bases agree that the ecological chaos of more than 50 years has finally come to an end. Human beings are no longer the masters of the ground, but they are finally no longer expelled by the ground creatures.

Surviving humans should be able to return to the surface.

Now that Eternal Night has passed, mankind will surely have a bright future.

after all--

Rivers may dry up, but seas never dry up.
