After only two or three minutes of flight, the spaceship landed on an empty, dilapidated street.
This was a wide intersection. Chen Chen still remembered that the opening of the East China Sea Continent movies would always film such intersections during rush hours.
The huge flow of traffic and the dense crowd on both sides of the road together created a bustling and hurried scene.
As the green light flashed, the majestic flow of traffic like a river was interrupted by an invisible force, and the flow of people on both sides of the road suddenly flowed past shoulder to shoulder like a flood, walking out of the most prosperous scene of this city.
But now, the heavy traffic was long gone, and the dense crowd of people had also disappeared. All that was left were the dilapidated streets that had not been repaired for a long time, and the vines that spread in all directions.
Walking out of the spaceship, Chen Chen immediately saw a skeleton on the side of the road that was about to completely merge with the soil.
This skeleton had been dead for a long time, leaving only messy white bones. Moreover, because of the long period of exposure to the wind and the sun, it had been half-buried in the soil. It was estimated that in a few years, it would completely sink into the soil and disappear.
On the white bones, there were many traces of animal gnawing.
Seeing this scene, Chen Chen could not help frowning. There were no clues other than knowing that the other party had been dead for a long time with this kind of corpse. "X-112, are all the skeletons like this?"
"Yes, it may be because the search area is too small and the drones can't search in buildings, so no well-preserved corpses have been found for the time being."
"Let the drones continue to expand the search and try to search the situation within a hundred kilometers by today."
As he spoke, Chen Chen looked at the dilapidated street-side houses on both sides of the road, re-confirming that there were no red restricted areas nearby, and then walked toward the street-side houses with the Black Knights.
These street-side houses were shops. In Tokyo, these shops could be said to be expensive, but now they had long since declined, becoming a shelter for stray cats and dogs.
The snack stalls that sold snacks had long been ransacked. Chen Chen could even see glass scattered on the ground and iron hammers that had fallen to the ground. These were all traces of looting.
The same was true for other similar clothing stores and tool stores. The most unvisited were the once most expensive gold shops and the most frequented banks.
Chen Chen simply let the three Black Knights search separately. As they searched the shops, Chen Chen soon found what he was looking for.
It was a well-preserved male corpse.
After hearing the news from X-112, Chen Chen walked into an office building and successfully found a body that had been dried into bacon in a room on the third floor.
However, unlike the exposed corpses, this office was sealed. Even the windows were not open, so the corpses that had been dead for many years were still in the state they were before they died.
The corpse maintained the posture of lying on the desk, seemingly asleep. However, it was wearing an outdoor jacket. The jacket itself had long been contaminated by the corpse's decomposing liquid. Next to the desk, there was an opened package with a bunch of ropes, daggers, and other tools scattered on the ground.
There was even an open military canteen beside it.
Obviously, the corpse had entered the office alone when he was alive. Then, he rested on the desk, but he didn't expect that after he fell asleep, he never woke up again.
The sealed office perfectly preserved the scene before the corpse's death. Chen Chen did a quick calculation and immediately determined the time of death of the corpse.
The owner of the corpse had died four to five years ago, and judging from the age of the corpse, it was only about thirty years old.
Suddenly dying at such a young age?
Chen Chen could not help frowning. The corpse in front of him did not seem to be that simple.
Thinking of this, he made a gentle gesture. Suddenly, the Black Knight on the side stepped forward and began to look for something on the corpse while the other Black Knight rummaged through the corpse's package.
Soon, the first Black Knight found a tool bag in the corpse's pocket. In the tool bag, there was something similar to a diary.
Chen Chen took the palm-sized book and gently flipped it open. Suddenly, a line of scribbled Japanese appeared in front of him.
Because after taking NZT-48, he could easily master various foreign languages, so Chen Chen often took time to learn some of the more widely used or more typical languages in the world, including ancient Greek, Latin, and Japanese.
At this time, as Chen Chen looked at it, these Japanese words were also quickly read out by Chen Chen:
"2028, March 26, sunny, continue to work hard today!
"Now is my favorite dinner time. I'm going to start soon. Today's meal is canned beef brought back from the city by Daitsu-kun. I can't believe that Daitsu-kun is so kind that he's willing to share the canned beef that he risked his life to obtain with us. I must remember Daitsu-kun's kindness!"
After reading the first page, Chen Chen could not help frowning. Obviously, this was indeed a diary, and at the same time, it was also something that the corpse in front of him used to record the dates and trivia of life, but it did not mention any information that Chen Chen wanted to know.
However, seeing that there were still a few pages behind, Chen Chen turned to the second page and continued to read.
"2028, April 16, rainy. Come on, come on, come on!
"After changing to a new diary, I found that I've gradually lost the habit of writing a diary. Maybe it's because I've been eroded by the recent safe and comfortable life? But there's really no other way. I'm still too weak to help everyone. Fortunately, everyone is working very hard to live!
On the second page, there was still no valuable information. The only information was probably that the corpse in front of him had joined a group during this period.
Forming a group to survive?
Chen Chen shook his head and continued to turn to the third page.
Next were some daily matters. As long as there was no information, Chen Chen would flip through it. When he was almost at the end, his attention was suddenly attracted by a diary entry —
"2028, September 2, sunny. Come on, today is also a sunny day!
"I haven't written a diary for a long time. Since the beginning of that era in the world, the glorious civilization of mankind has completely fallen. The remaining survivors have inherited the will of the dead and struggled to survive. I'm the same, but these two days, I suddenly have a bad feeling because I've been having nightmares for two consecutive nights. Every night, I'll dream of something bad...
"Haha, it must be just a coincidence. I'm definitely not going to have that dream tonight, definitely not."
That?
Which one was "that"?
Chen Chen could not wait to continue turning the pages. The next page was the second day of the previous diary entry.
"2028, September 3, sunny. I really can't believe it!
"Why? Why did I have that nightmare again last night? It can't be, right? It must be a coincidence... Ando, please don't scare yourself! It must be a coincidence. I'm definitely not going to have that nightmare tonight. You must be strong! "
