Extraterrestrial parasite

Just in case, Chen Yang didn't go too far. Although the surrounding environment was very quiet and there seemed to be no danger, the quieter it was, the more people felt something was wrong.

"Boarding body, there is something strange here."

The keen sense in his right hand was stronger than that of Chen Yang. He concentrated his attention and immediately noticed the weirdness in the environment.

"Well, something's wrong."

Chen Yang turned on the second gear of overclocking in his brain. In such a quiet environment, any sound caused by any abnormal movement in the surroundings would never escape his ears.

Unfortunately, he stood there quietly for more than a minute and still didn't hear the slightest sound except the sound of wind.

"Boarding body, be careful."

The right hand reminded.

"I know."

Nodding, Chen Yang put on his helmet again, turned and walked towards the store next to him.

Even the high-rise buildings were severely damaged, not to mention the shops on both sides of the street. The glass windows that usually had colorful advertisements had been smashed to pieces. When you walked inside, you could feel the damp and moldy smell inside.

Without daily cleaning and maintenance by humans, New York's underground sewers have probably lost their role in drainage. This has led to serious water accumulation in the streets and a lot of moisture in the air. This also made Chen Yang look around and saw that the entire store was filled with stench and mold. Even the walls were covered with green moss.

With no other choice, Chen Yang had no choice but to withdraw and look for other shops.

But it's like it's hard to find an oasis in the desert. After walking through a dozen stores in a row, the situation inside was similar. Not only had many supplies been looted, but the remaining large items that couldn't be moved were also soaked in stagnant water and smelled bad. Mold. However, Chen Yang was not a mysophobic person, and he frowned and did not dare to get too close.

"Still no mice?"

In such a harsh environment, we still can't see the ubiquitous rats. Is it really because there are no humans that even the rats that rely on them have left the city?

He pondered for a moment. Chen Yang simply chose to walk to the second floor of the store.

Since ancient times, humans have basically stored information and data in the form of books and paper. Even in 2014, although most of the information is stored on the Internet and displayed in the form of electronic media, books and paper The role is still so important that it can be seen everywhere.

It's a pity that paper is such a good product in a dry environment. It can be preserved for hundreds of years if you are careful, but if it is placed in a humid and dark environment, the paper will become moldy and soft in a few months, and the ink writing will be blurred to the point of being unclear in a year.

If given a little more time, mold and moisture can turn the entire book into a ball of paper.

Chen Yang walked into the store on the second floor, helplessly holding a few thin books that were so rotten that they were almost falling apart, and threw them away. Finally I saw a few thick books again and opened them in the middle. Only then did I finally discover from the handwriting that it was a world famous book.

On the second floor of the store, the shelves were basically empty. The items were so pitiful that I couldn't even see a few...

As for computers, Chen Yang has not noticed one so far.

However, Chen Yang is not too anxious about this. He has now come up from the subway tunnel with a depth of 20 meters underground, so the area and clues he can search for have expanded geometrically. As long as he is patient, he will not worry about finding nothing useful. clues come out.

After cleaning up the second floor which didn't have much useful stuff. Chen Yang continued to walk upstairs.

Naturally, the elevator couldn't be used, and the emergency stairs were covered with greasy and disgusting liquid. Chen Yang finally walked up to the third floor. He didn't find anything else, but he saw a few bones first. Lying on the aisle.

Several blackened skulls and two empty eye sockets stared at the ceiling aimlessly, not knowing what happened during their lifetimes to cause these people to die here.

"boom!"

The wooden door exploded and fell apart, slamming to the ground, raising a cloud of dust that had accumulated for a long time.

Chen Yang casually opened the wooden door and broke into the private house. It can be clearly seen that without the owner's cleaning, the entire hall of the house is dark and smelly. The walls that used to be whitewashed have become yellow and peeling, not to mention the carpets, which are dark and moldy. The unidentified spots are enough to make anyone with an excessive appetite feel nauseous.

Fortunately, there was a breathing filter in the armor. Chen Yang, who was wearing a helmet, did not have to experience how wonderful the stench was. He tilted his head slightly, and within the scope of the two searchlights, his eyes had already begun to search.

This resident's room is relatively well-preserved. Although it is a bit dirty, the general things and items can be seen and have basically remained the same. Because of this, Chen Yang felt that this was not the decoration that a modern home should have. , more like what families looked like decades ago.

For example, the short refrigerator, the mini-size, surprisingly thick and bulky TV, the large wooden radio with an ancient appearance placed on the table all had a sense of antiquity, almost making Chen Yang feel like he had entered a museum. of.

"That's true."

Looking at these evidences and clues, and remembering the layout of the scenes he saw along the way, Chen Yang sighed, and he was sure that this was New York in the United States in the 1990s.

In the real world, New York in the United States in the 1990s was one of the top ten big cities in the world. It was extremely prosperous and lively, and the famous Wall Street was even more famous around the world. Of course, it could not be what it is now.

Then only the speculation of multiverses can truly explain everything we see before us.

Now Chen Yang's main question is, what is the difference between the history in this other world and the history in the real world, and what happened to lead to the current situation?

"Boarding body, search the UV band frequency..."

"You mean..."

Chen Yang understood that if he wanted to see if there was anyone around here or in the entire city, searching for the radio's communication frequency band would be the fastest way.

Especially in the United States, many private individuals are equipped with ultra-high frequency radio stations, which can enable long-distance communication and calling for help. Moreover, in the 1990s, electromagnetic wave pollution was not as serious as after the 21st century, and communications will appear clearer and more distant.

Knowing this method, Chen Yang immediately started searching the radio frequency band. He first searched the rescue frequency band and channels 12 and 13. After finding no results, he searched carefully in the frequency band from 26.566mhz to 27.405mhz.

This frequency band is allocated to civilian radio stations across the European continent, the United States, and Canada. It allows unregistered and free radio equipment to transmit power up to 4w, allowing them to communicate between private individuals as far as 30km. .

Many American private radio enthusiasts like to use this frequency band to communicate with each other for anything. If there are still people around, they should use this frequency band.

"Still not working?"

To Chen Yang's disappointment, the radio in this frequency band was very quiet and no communication signal was received.

Chen Yang continued to adjust the frequency range. The electromagnetic environment in modern society is different from that in ancient times. Even in the 1990s, the air in the United States was full of electromagnetic waves of various frequencies, from radio broadcast services to meteorological radio services, aviation radio services and news. Waiting, like a noisy ocean, invisible electromagnetic waves shuttle around people, traveling thousands of miles away without stopping for a moment.

But today was destined to completely disappoint Chen Yang, as if he had returned to ancient times overnight. The electromagnetic wave environment in the sky was not clear enough. Even if he searched from short wave to long wave, he did not receive any signal from any signal source.

This situation made Chen Yang think of four words - the end of the United States!

No, it should be said that it is the end of the world. Even the powerful United States has come to an end. How can other places be fine?

No matter how optimistic Chen Yang was, he would not dare to think so.

In the final analysis, judging from the evidence discovered so far, this is just a parallel world after all. Whether it is life or death has little to do with Chen Yang.

If a disaster that swept all mankind really happened here, from another perspective, it might also be a good thing for him.

Doesn’t this mean that Chen Yang can take in all the resources in this world?

In the real world, the difficulty of building seven or eight private nuclear power plants can be imagined. Not to mention the consumption of technology and resources, which are not affordable by ordinary countries. Even if the problems of technology and resources are solved, it will still be a big problem politically.

But if the construction location of the nuclear power plant is designed in this world, then the political problems will be easily solved.

Of course, before that, Chen Yang must explore the situation of the world and figure out the method of producing light film. Only in this way can he further think about the construction of nuclear power plants.

"Sir, it seems this method won't work."

Chen Yang shook his head and said regretfully.

"Can't you?"

The right hand didn't look very disappointed, and immediately proposed another method: "We can broadcast to the outside world and let the surviving humans come to us."

"You mean..."

Chen Yang's heart moved, and he immediately understood the deeper meaning of his right hand.

A trap, a trap broadcast to the outside world. Set up a broadcast point that automatically transmits signals far away from here. As long as other people come over or try to communicate, Chen Yang can use this to find these people.

"Well, this method is not bad."

Chen Yang also agreed with this method, "We will talk about it after we search this area."

Maybe Chen Yang can find living humans without using this method.

Through the broken windows, facing the rising sun, Chen Yang looked at the dilapidated and desolate city, and suddenly he couldn't help but have a question, are there really people in such a city? (To be continued...)
