In the video, the opposite sky was a dark red.
It was not the kind of red that was dyed red by the setting sun, but real red clouds, like an endless river of blood floating in the sky, surging wantonly.
Chen Chen had never seen that kind of red cloud before. Just one glance at it and the words "sticky", "vast", "strange", and so on appeared in his mind.
Seeing this scene, Chen Chen could not help narrowing his eyes.
The location he chose to open was the top of the mountain above the Ark base in the movie Doom. Less than a few kilometers away from here, there was a cliff, and below the cliff was Papoose City in Northern America.
However, at this time, from the picture of Papoose City sent by the Black Knights, it had been reduced to ruins. Under the endless blood in the sky, the entire ruins exuded an ominous omen.
"It looks like it happened a long time ago."
Looking at the scene of the Black Knights going deep into the ruins to investigate, but the strange thing was that there were signs of corrosion on every building. Many buildings seemed to be corroded by sulfuric acid, and the surface was full of potholes. In the Black Knights' investigation, there was even a building that seemed to have been overwhelmed and collapsed on its own.
There was not a single living creature in the entire city, but there was not a single corpse either. Everyone seemed to have evaporated into thin air, completely disappearing without a trace.
The Black Knights only explored a small area and did not go deep into the ruins before returning.
"Click."
As the video ended, the player above the Black Knights' head automatically turned off.
"No humans were found?"
Chen Chen looked at the black passage in front of him suspiciously, showing a puzzled expression. "Even the bodies weren't found, so where did the people in this city go?"
"Could it be some kind of biochemical disaster?"
Little X asked, "Did the entire city migrate out?"
Chen Chen shook his head and did not speak, but kept thinking about something.
After about ten minutes, Chen Chen seemed to have finally made up his mind. He said, "Send the Black Knights and drones to investigate. Be sure to conduct a comprehensive analysis. I really want to know what happened in the dimension of Doom."
Following Chen Chen's order, within a few minutes, hundreds of Black Knights had arrived at the teleportation hall. These Black Knights were fully equipped. Not only were they equipped with GS Combat Suits and PK Armors, but they were also equipped with various armored vehicles and unmanned reconnaissance drones with wingspans of more than ten meters. This was the standard equipment of an ultra-modern army.
As this small force entered, more large forces were teleported over by the Gantz black sphere and were waiting in front of the passage.
If there were enemies on the other side and the Black Knights on the other side were unable to resist, this force would be used as reinforcements to go to the opposite world. If they still could not resist the other party, Chen Chen would decisively pull out the USB drive.
In addition, Chen Chen was personally keeping watch, so he was not worried that the other party would easily come to the real world.
One hour, two hours, three hours …
Every hour, the results of the investigation would be sent from the other side of the passage, and Chen Chen's expression became more and more serious.
Sure enough, the changes in the opposite world were not limited to Papoose City. After a few hours, the Black Knights' unmanned reconnaissance drones had swept through the entire Northern American state of Nevada, but whether it was the towns or villages, they were all in ruins. Not only could they not see a single person, but there was not even a single animal in the entire Nevada. Even the plants were all in the stage of withering and dying.
The entire human civilization seemed to have been drained of all its vitality, leaving only a cold and dead world.
The soil, air, water, and other samples collected found that the land had been penetrated by acidic substances. Those acidic substances came from the blood clouds in the sky.
The blood had a certain degree of corrosiveness. Obviously, after the blood clouds condensed into raindrops, it corroded the human cities.
Other than that, there was nothing else found.
Seeing this, Chen Chen could not help frowning. "Since there's nothing found in the entire state of Nevada, then expand the search scope and start searching the entire Northern American Continent."
The Black Knights and Little X naturally carried out Chen Chen's orders unconditionally, so more Black Knights and drones were sent over, more than a thousand people in total.
Just these thousand people and hundreds of large drones consumed a lot of power from the USB flash drive, but now was not the time to care about this. Chen Chen did not quite understand why a good civilization would disappear just like that?
He still remembered that when he came in a year ago, the dimension of DOOM had not even started yet. He also made a big fuss, deterred the entire Human Federation, took away the Ark teleportation platform of this dimension, and then deliberately left a group of researchers implanted with God chips to pave the way for the future.
However, now that about a year had passed, when he opened this dimension again, this was all he saw.
Was it because it was a different dimension?
Or could it be that the dimension still did not escape the disaster of destruction after he left?
Chen Chen frowned. The curse that the dimensions opened by the USB flash drive were all death dimensions had been broken, but now it had turned back again.
Therefore, Chen Chen simply spent his time with the USB flash drive. While studying the time machine of the dimension of Terminator, he guarded the teleportation hall, waiting for news from the other side. Half a month passed in a flash.
Over the past half a month, the Black Knights sent out could be described as a carpet search, not giving up any clues. Sure enough, Chen Chen found many clues.
In New York and Washington, although the cities were still destroyed, Chen Chen found traces of war.
A large number of dents caused by artillery shells and missiles, as well as bullet holes in the walls of the alleys during the war. At the same time, the wreckage of tanks and planes could be found in some plains.
In other words, the humans in the dimension of DOOM had fought with some kind of existence...
This was the only thing Chen Chen had analyzed so far.
The reason why he determined that the other party was "some kind of existence" and not some other human being was that the Black Knights did not find any aircraft or tank wreckage other than the Northern American Army here, not even shrapnel. All the shrapnel in the bombing crater was Northern America's own.
Could it be that humans were fighting with some kind of existence that could not be killed?
Chen Chen showed a puzzled expression. The whole matter had become even more bizarre at this point.
All this went on until a month later. Finally, the Black Knights brought something unexpected.
On this day, Chen Chen had just woken up from the bed and immediately a Black Knight came up and handed a report to Chen Chen.
After seeing the report in his hand, Chen Chen's pupils suddenly shrank.
“X？”
Chen Chen took a deep breath and asked, "Is what this says true? Did you really find this information in the Pentagon? "
"There's absolutely no mistake."
Little X's voice came from the broadcast in the lounge. "According to the information I found after cracking the connection of several servers that have not been damaged, this world is indeed the world you have visited before, and the flow of time is basically the same as the real world."
Chen Chen took a deep breath when he heard this. He had thought that this should be another world of DOOM, but he did not expect that this was the one he had been to. Not only that, but even the flow of time was the same.
In other words, it only took a year for the human civilization of this world to turn into such a scene …
"It turns out that after you took away the three 'Arks', the humans of this world found a pleasant surprise. They found a door under the 'Ark teleporter' on Mars."
Little X said in a deep voice, "This is a metal door that is flat on the ground, covered with unknown patterns, like the entrance to a cellar."
Chen Chen picked up the pattern included in the information when he heard this, but found that the pattern on it was strange and complicated, like a blooming flower of the opposite shore, but also like a blazing sun emitting a glow.
This door was grayish-white and seemed to have weathered countless years of wind and frost. Its surface was no longer shiny, but according to the information, this door was extremely strong. Even a diamond could not cut a scratch on it, and its melting point exceeded tens of thousands of degrees. Even if a laser of several million degrees continuously cut it, it would be difficult to cut it.
This was a kind of metal that was extremely inert even in heat conduction...
Seeing these properties, Chen Chen immediately understood something. He quickly looked back. Sure enough, according to the analysis of that metal, the entire door was made of high-offset armor!
"High-offset armor!"
Chen Chen's eyes lit up. "In other words, the extinct civilization on Mars already has the technology to make high-offset armor."
"Yes, the manufacturing technology of high-offset armor isn't complicated. It only requires a large particle accelerator. The only thing that limits its use is the problem of production."
Little X said, "With our production, the most we can make in a year is your cryogenic chamber, but this door is ten meters in diameter and its thickness is unfathomable."
Chen Chen shook his head, feeling even more shocked. This door was so huge, so why did it exist? This metal, known as the hardest substance in the solar system, could not be easily broken even by the Tsar's nuclear bomb.
According to the information, after humans discovered the door, they had begun to use painstaking efforts to break the door. Some people tried to enter from the side, but then they had to give up this childish idea.
Because the side was also made of high-offset metal, like a round well made of metal, up to thousands of meters long.
Therefore, humans began to earnestly find ways to drill through this door, and the entire project to break the door lasted for more than half a month.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen continued to turn the page, but found that all the subsequent content was gone. The entire article only contained the Northern American officials' speculation about the door.
"What about the rest? What's in that door and how did humans disappear? "
Chen Chen raised his head and asked.
"There's nothing else."
Little X walked in from outside the door and shook her head directly. "I only found this useful thing in the broken Pentagon, there's nothing else."
"Continue to investigate!"
Chen Chen put down the information in his hand and ordered, "I don't believe that the entire human civilization can't even find a clue about the enemy."
Next, Chen Chen continued to wait, but after a few days, there was news from the Black Knights again —
"What is this?"
Chen Chen looked at the screen in confusion, only to see that from the high-altitude perspective of the drone, on a wasteland, a bottomless pit was appearing on the ground. This pit was only about ten meters in diameter.
The deep pit was circular, dark, and bottomless.
After discovering this clue, the Black Knights automatically launched a response, sending a detection team, setting up various instruments, and exploring the depths of the deep pit.
After some exploration, finally, when the Black Knights dived nearly 5,000 meters deep, they finally reached the bottom of the deep pit.
However, these Black Knights found that the bottom of the deep pit was nothing else but the door full of sun patterns, like a deep well!
"This Martian door actually appeared on Earth?"
Chen Chen was shocked.
"Not only that."
Little X emphasized, "We detected the properties of the soil in the deep pit and found that the soil at the fault was only exposed to the air about half a year to a year ago. In other words, the entire deep pit only appeared within a year!"
With that said, Little X showed a cross-sectional pattern. "The side of this door is also wrapped in the same high-offset armor, exactly the same as the one on Mars, but it's obvious that..."
Little X hesitated for a moment before continuing. "This door is very new, far newer than the one on Mars. It's as if it was newly manufactured."
"No, you're wrong."
Chen Chen showed a solemn expression and shook his head. "There's still high-offset armor blocking the side, like a well with a lid... It turns out that people's previous judgment was wrong. That thing on Mars wasn't a door at all."
"Isn't it?"
Little X tilted her head and wondered, "But it's obvious that there's a shallow gap in the center of the door. It seems that it can be opened?"
Chen Chen smiled when he heard this. "But the side of the door is also made of high-offset metal, that is to say, its whole body is cylindrical, up to thousands of meters long, and in addition, it appeared in a deep pit, and the pit appeared recently, I can already get the real answer...
"That's not actually a door, but a needle, a needle inserted into a depth of 5,000 meters on the Earth!"
Little X suddenly understood when she heard this. "Sir Godfather, what you said also makes sense. It's called a door only because humans only saw its cross-section at first. In fact, if you analyze it according to its shape, it's completely a steel needle with a diameter of ten meters and a length of one thousand meters."
"That's it."
Chen Chen nodded and a profound look appeared in his eyes. "I just don't know what this needle has to do with the disappearance of human civilization..."
