They could no longer see any light from the outside. Tang En and his group walked along the passage for several hours, and they encountered several forks along the way. After using the magic radar to scan and map, they took fewer detours.
But even so …
After passing through another messy obstacle, even the calm Eibron couldn't help complaining, "Isn't this terrain too complicated? What kind of passage is this? It doesn't look like a worker's passage at all. It looks more like a transportation track! "
Clotho nodded, "This reminds me of the steam subway between Cogwheel City and Hammerforge …"
Tang En could not help but nod his head. Indeed, the route here easily reminded one of the steam-powered subways developed by the dwarves. However, if one really had to describe it, this should be the rail transportation pipeline used by the prehistoric immigrants to transport materials when they were transforming the planet.
Of course, there was no energy source at all, so there was no way to start any transportation here.
Although they didn't know why the route led them here, Tang En's group could only grit their teeth and continue forward. But soon, they found out why the radar had led them here.
"This … What's going on?"
Along the way, they saw many passages blocked by melted alloys. The radar showed that they were all dead ends.
"Why are there so many melted alloys blocking the passage?"
Tang En's group couldn't help but have strong doubts. There was no Resident Evil or Astral Monsters here, so why would the survivors block all the passages?
Have they already given up on leaving this place?
But there were many more things that were even more puzzling. Along the way, they saw not only sealed passages, but also "corpses" that were abandoned outside.
Winette suddenly said, "It feels like they were worried that the psionic radiation disease would spread, so they sealed the infected outside."
Tang En was stunned, "That's very possible!"
Although radiation disease wasn't an infectious disease, the prehistoric life back then might not have known about it. It was normal for them to have this kind of worry.
The further they went, the more it proved that Winette's guess was correct. In a slightly spacious cargo transfer station, there were thousands of space suits that were close to decay piled up here. The messy scene told Tang En and the rest of them, who came ten thousand years later, of the terrifying situation here at that time.
Countless people did not die in the catastrophe but were infected with the radiation disease. In the end, they could only linger here, watching the corpses around them slowly die. Despair continued to spread, and the survivors became fewer and fewer. They also lost the hope of escaping. They could only continue to run deeper and deeper, and then continue to abandon their companions who were infected with the radiation disease. In the end, how many people could survive?
"We're very close to the target area."
Tang En suddenly stopped and activated his intelligent wristwatch. A holographic projection then projected a map, "According to calculations, we're hundreds of kilometers deep into the planet's surface. In theory, we're very close to the center of this satellite.... I don't believe that they would dig Lorita's core..
. "As they didn't have an accurate positioning system, they could only use the map to deduce their location. They couldn't show their current location.
Clotho used the map and the surrounding environment to make some deductions. After marking their approximate location, he pointed to the front and said, "If you're right, the survivor might be here. The mark on the map is the emergency hibernation room."
They were less than ten kilometers away from their current location. Soon, they pushed the obstacles aside and arrived outside the emergency hibernation room.
Just as they approached the door, Nola reminded Tang En, "The life aura is inside. It's not much different from before. The aura is very weak."
Tang En said, "If there's a survivor, he must be inside."
On the way, they had carefully checked the holographic map of Lorita. They realized that there was only one large hibernation room on this planet that could accommodate a million people.
Selna displayed her excellent lockpicking skills. After a series of clanking sounds, the heavy hydraulically sealed door was opened by her.
"Well done!"
Tang En was not stingy with his compliments. This made Selna proud. "I'm not bragging, but there's nothing in this world that can stop my door. Even the treasury of the Datang Chamber of Commerce —"
Tang En's smile froze. "You've been there?"
Selna suddenly felt guilty. "… I'm just making an example …"
"… So you've been there?"
"…"
Tang En turned to Histisa and said, "When we get back, remind Fiona that no matter where she goes, she must be followed by guards. If we lose anything, we can look for her directly."
"Hey, hey, this is professional discrimination!"
Tang En ignored her. "This is not professional discrimination. This is called turning over a new leaf! I'm waiting for the day you educate all the Prandal thieves. "
As the leader of the thieves, how could he not lead his subordinates to turn over a new leaf? If he didn't learn well, how could he survive in the new era?
Tang En grumbled as he walked into the hibernation room.
Nothing could be seen from the scale of the map, but when you really got here, you would find that this was really a huge hibernation room!
What did it mean to have a hibernation room that could accommodate a million people?
Even if one person occupied one cubic meter, a million people would occupy one million cubic meters. That was a huge space of 100 meters in length, width, and height. Just think about how big a 100-meter hill was. This was not taking into account the space occupied by energy, life support, and other systems. Just the space occupied by these people lying down was taken into account.
If these facilities were added, the space occupied by one person would increase by several times, at least 4 cubic meters. This meant that the total space would be multiplied several times.
After opening the door and entering this enclosed space, Tang En and the others felt as if they had arrived at a giant's library.
That's right, it was a library.
The structure of this hibernation room was a vertical structure. The honeycomb-shaped walls of up to a kilometer high were buried with densely packed transparent hibernation pods. This place seemed to use a relatively independent energy supply from the outside, so it still maintained a minimal energy supply. The entire hibernation room exuded a faint yellow light.
Most of the lights in the hibernation pods had been extinguished. Obviously, the equipment had encountered an abnormality during the operation of thousands of years and thus failed. After the hibernation pods failed, the lives of the people inside naturally could not be guaranteed.
But there were also some lucky ones. The lights in the hibernation pods were still on!
This meant that they had the possibility of survival!
"Let's go take a look!"
After Tang En and the others found that some of the hibernation pods were still working, they immediately became excited and ran over. However … as soon as they saw the situation in the hibernation pods, the smile on their faces froze.
The cruel reality poured a bucket of cold water on them, and the biting cold woke them up instantly.
When these ancestral survivors entered the hibernation pods, they were already seriously exposed to radiation. Even if they entered a hibernation state, the psionic radiation would not disappear. Instead, it would further accelerate the erosion of their bodies.
"What's wrong with you guys?"
Egwynn, who came over, came over curiously.
"Don't look."
Tang En stopped her. His face was very ugly. His stomach was churning, and he had the urge to vomit.
"Am I such a fragile person?"
Aiguin glanced at him unhappily, then gently pushed him away to take a look, then said without changing her expression, "It's just a rotten corpse, what's the big deal?"
In the hibernation pods that were still working, there should have been survivors in hibernation, but at this moment, there was only a lump of indescribable things inside. It looked like a pile of moldy crackers, or a pile of exploded internal organs. After being fermented in an extreme environment, the squashed internal organs were mixed in a turbid liquid and stuck to the hibernation pods. Under the faint yellow light, it was very terrifying and disgusting.
Tang En was speechless.
Tang En had indeed underestimated her psychological endurance. As a Legendary Champion who walked around the continent, how could she not have some psychological endurance?
What made Tang En feel more strange was that the hibernation pods were carried out at a temperature of more than -200 degrees Celsius. At that temperature, although the radiation sickness could not be alleviated, it was impossible for such a microbe to reproduce. What microbe could survive in an environment of more than -200 degrees Celsius?
Could it be a mutated bacterium born from the psionic radiation?
At the thought of this, Twain suddenly felt a sense of crisis. It was as if if he accidentally opened these hibernation pods, he would release a terrifying flood and ferocious beast that would completely destroy this world before the arrival of the Army of Chaos.
"Be careful, don't destroy these dead bodies."
Tang En reminded them very cautiously. "These corpses are likely to carry a virus from ten thousand years ago, and modern people may not be able to resist it."
Although they did not know what the virus was, everyone was still a lot more careful. They did not want to die here for no reason.
At this moment, Selna suddenly exclaimed in front of them.
Tang En was shocked. Could it be that the coward opened the hibernation pods just like that?!
Was the Prandal's Resident Evil going to be born just like that?
At this moment, many terrible images flashed through Tang En's mind. He could not help but shout, "Selna! Don't touch those hibernation pods! "
Then, they heard Selna shouting, "Come and see! There's a whole person here! But he … is really strange! "
