long night fire

The door of the corresponding room was ajar, and there was a stale smell oozing out.

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

From their own point of view, they confirmed that there are no human beings inside, living human beings.

Relying on the anti-virus filtering function of the helmet of the military exoskeleton device, the two were brave enough to push open the door and enter the room.

This is an ordinary residential house, with tables, chairs, benches, sofas and TVs.

Next to the "red" window, there is a computer desk with a dirty computer on it.

Across the table, on a chair facing the door, sat a dead body wearing dark clothes.

He was lying on the computer desk, his neck and head had been turned into bones.

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao moved over step by step, and when they got closer, they found a dark green rucksack resting on the corpse's thighs, waist and abdomen, and a handful of Wubei 7 lying quietly on the ground beside it.

Apart from this one, there were no other bones around.

Chapter 199 letter

Jiang Baimian did not immediately pick up the dark green rucksack on the body, and cautiously said to Shang Jianyao:

"Check your surroundings for any hazards that need to be eliminated."

The two worked together, and soon confirmed that the bedroom, kitchen, living room, bathroom and other places were normal enough, and that there was no other corpse.

Moreover, they deduced from the remains of carrion on the body that he was not an aborigine of Taicheng, but should be a member of the scientific expedition team of Ding Ling's husband, Ji Qiang.

After finishing these tasks, Jiang Baimian put on his gloves, and took out the dark green rucksack from between the corpse's chest, abdomen and thighs.

After unzipping the zipper, she saw many documents and materials.

Among them, several sheets of paper were neatly folded and placed on top.

Jiang Baimian put the backpack on the computer desk, picked up the few pieces of paper, and unfolded them.

It was written in gray earth script, one stroke at a time, neatly and exceptionally clear, as if worried that latecomers would not be able to understand it.

Jiang Baimian signaled Shang Jianyao to be alert, and quickly browsed by himself:

"I don't know who you will be who read this letter, where you are from, which faction you belong to, these are not important, the important thing is that someone finally entered this mysterious city again and found us.

"My name is Lu Fuxing, a researcher of the 'Salvation Army', when you read this letter, I should have died.

"Here, I will simply tell you the cause and effect of the matter, and why I am writing this letter. Believe me, this is very important, and it may be related to how you and your companions escape from this mysterious city.

"More than two years ago, there was a big earthquake in the northeast of the ice sheet. After the earthquake, a weather station of our 'Salvation Army' observing the weather conditions of the ice sheet found that some creations belonging to the civilization of the old world floated in the river, and we The 'Salvation Army' has surveyed long ago, and there are no urban relics or abandoned towns in the upper part of the river, or even further.

"As a scientific research institute responsible for surveying the ice sheet's geological conditions, relics, and resource distribution, my colleagues and I came to the ice sheet under the protection of a team of soldiers, intending to re-examine that area.

"The captain of our scientific expedition team is called Chen Mingqiang, he not only has high academic attainments, but is also an awakened person.

"On the third day after entering the ice field, I was not feeling well. My stomach hurt at night, and I wanted to get some medicine from the team doctor. When I walked out of the tent, I found the edge of the campfire, in the shadow between the two tents, Chen Mingqiang wandered silently.

"I was taken aback, but fortunately I recognized him in time, otherwise I would have warned the patrolling soldiers.

"Chen Mingqiang also found me, he explained that he was a little insomnia, so he came out to blow some air and think about some problems.

"I have no doubt that for those of us who do science, something like this happens quite often.

"After that day, Chen Mingqiang became more and more strange. He was originally a cheerful person who liked to chat with the team members, but he became more and more silent. He often walked behind the team, as if he had become our shadow.

"Passing by the Bei'an Lake rest point, he actually ordered us to camp in the wild instead of going in and enjoying a clean bed and a warm shower.

"Although our mission does have confidentiality requirements, it is not so strict that we can't even enter the rest point of our own forces, and we can't contact anyone. At that time, many of my colleagues were puzzled, and Chen Mingqiang suppressed them by obeying orders.

"In the end, the result we fought for was to send three people to the rest point in exchange for supplies, and make up for the ones that were consumed before.

"After leaving Bei'an Lake, we continued to head to the scheduled location.

"For some reason, I feel that many people in the team are getting more and more wrong. Like Chen Mingqiang, they have become quiet and like to walk behind the team.

"I tried asking them, I thought it was my responsibility to do it, and the answer was that being out in the field for so long made me depressed.

"This is indeed a problem that similar scientific expedition teams often encounter, but this time it appeared very early.

"Following that river and surveying its upper reaches within two days, we found, no, we saw a city, which is the ruins where you and your companions are currently.

"According to our original records, this area was hit hardest when the old world was destroyed, so that the entire terrain was distorted, and the corresponding cities should have sunk into the earth long ago, buried by mud and boulders.

"But now, the ruins of a very well-preserved city have eerily appeared before our eyes.

"In order to confirm that this is not a mirage, we bypassed the fault zone and arrived at the edge of Taicheng, yes, it was called Taicheng before the destruction of the old world.

"That night, we sent a telegram to Wubei to inform them of the situation and wait for follow-up instructions.

"In the early morning of the next day, everyone was woken up suddenly, and Chen Mingqiang, who was in charge of the radio, told us that the superior let us enter Taicheng to explore a place.

"Many of my colleagues and I are very puzzled. Our specialty is not exploring the ruins. This should be done by a dedicated team.

"However, as a qualified member of the 'Salvation Army', obeying orders has been integrated into my blood. After Chen Mingqiang showed the telegram sent by his superiors and was jointly certified by two colleagues and a soldier, I no longer have any objections.

"In hindsight, I suspect that the telegram was a forgery, because the three people who testified to the whole thing had become eccentric, silent and self-marginalized to the point of non-existence.

"He dared to forge orders from his superiors.

"After entering Taicheng, we came to a hospital. Chen Mingqiang seemed to be familiar with this place, and led us directly into the nine-story building on the right.

"It's called 'Renhui Hospital Vegetative Rehabilitation Center'.

"It was a very scary place. Chen Mingqiang seemed to be using our mine detection tool to let me and many of my colleagues enter different rooms.

"Some people went crazy, some became vegetative, some got 'no heart disease' and were shot dead on the spot, some became as strange as Chen Mingqiang and others, some suddenly rushed to the window, jumped I fell down and fell to my death...

"I don't want to recall it anymore. This is a very cruel thing for me. In short, if you enter the vegetative rehabilitation center of Renhui Hospital, don't just open the door and enter the room.

"As much as we lost, we also gained, and we found some very important documents that I couldn't imagine.

"The remaining people were unwilling to enter those rooms again, and had conflicts with Chen Mingqiang, including some fighters, and there were also awakened ones among these fighters.

"Those people who had become silent and eccentric stood on Chen Mingqiang's side, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

"We were at a disadvantage and many people died. Finally, we found a chance and hurriedly escaped from the building.

"However, Chen Mingqiang didn't catch up and chose to stay in that vegetative rehabilitation center.

"Two of us were lost during the escape, but the rest gathered together, retrieved the original vehicle, and planned to leave Taicheng, return to the camp, and ask for help from our superiors.

"But after returning to the edge of the city, we were surprised to find that the road out of the city was destroyed, and the whole city was completely cut off from the outside world.

"We wanted to go to other places to try, but gradually found that our spirit was declining a little bit, and the whole person became more and more tired. Not long after, the first 'unintentional person' among us was born.

"Then the second, and the third.

"We began to suspect that everyone was infected with the 'innocent disease' virus, and sooner or later it would occur. Everyone fell into despair, as if they saw death approaching them step by step.

"I'm not too young, and I'm mentally prepared for this. I told them to write a suicide note before the illness flares up. Maybe they will have a chance to show it to their family members in the future.

"I also took the opportunity to write this letter and sort out the documents we obtained in the Vegetative Rehabilitation Center of Renhui Hospital.

"In the following time, those who are still sober are responsible for solving the colleagues and teammates who have become 'innocent', and the last sober person kills himself.

"Unexpectedly, I was the one who lived to the end, and I thought that the next content would be written by my other colleagues.

"Before that, we had found paint to paint the window and the surrounding walls red, so that people who entered Taicheng could see it at a glance and found that there was a problem here.

"If you are colleagues, you can go to other rooms on this floor to find the bones of my colleagues and teammates. If not, just read the words below:

"The documents in the backpack are very important, I don't care whether they were obtained by our 'Salvation Army' or other forces, they belong to all mankind.

"Friends who read this letter, if you can choose, please spread the contents of those documents, no matter which force it is for.

"The behind-the-scenes host of the Vegetative Rehabilitation Center of Renhui Hospital is the Eighth Research Institute of the Old World. They are doing a very dangerous and terrifying experiment involving the forbidden zone of gods and the new world!

"I know that those documents still lack more detailed and important content, but they can unite all the forces on the dusty earth to jointly seek the secrets buried by the Eighth Research Institute.

"Finally, there are suicide notes left by some of my colleagues and teammates in the backpack. If you don't want to bother, you can leave them. If you want to, please give them to a member of the 'Salvation Army' and ask him to send them to you." The letter is sent to the appropriate person.

"I am very grateful that you and your companions saw this place. If you are also trapped in Taicheng, you can go to Renhui Hospital to find Chen Mingqiang's body. I suspect that he hides the secret that we can enter this Taicheng. The key to getting out.

"As I mentioned in my letter before, the vegetative rehabilitation center of Renhui Hospital is very dangerous, and you probably have to select two or three who are willing to sacrifice and dare to sacrifice.

"Well, I feel that my spirit is getting more and more lax, and my reason is getting more and more unable to control my impulse. I plan to use a pistol to end my life.

"Please be sure to spread the contents of those documents, so that the beautiful future of mankind can be realized.

"For all mankind!"

Jiang Baimian read it silently, and handed the letter in his hand to Shang Jianyao.

Chapter 200 suicide note

When Shang Jianyao was reading Lu Fuxing's letter, Jiang Baimian picked up the documents and materials in his backpack while guarding against accidents.

Among them, some of the papers were obviously yellowed and showed signs of becoming dry and brittle, while some were relatively well preserved, but had a faint musty smell.

The former belonged to the documents taken out by Lu Fuxing and others from the vegetative rehabilitation center of Renhui Hospital, and the latter was the suicide note left by the survivors.

None of these suicide notes had envelopes, but they were neatly folded, and the recipients were written on the upper side.

During the scrambling, Jiang Baimian caught a familiar name out of the corner of his eye:

"Ding Ling."

She immediately diverted half of her attention to the backpack, and a line of text came into her eyes:

"The border settlements in Wubei, Ding Ling takes over."

Is this Ji Qiang's suicide note?Jiang Baimian didn't know whether to be happy for a moment, or sighed.

She originally thought that Ding Ling's husband, Ji Qiang, would probably die in the vegetative rehabilitation center of Renhui Hospital, because he was just a scientific researcher, neither an awakened person nor an outstanding fighter, and at most he had accepted the "Salvation Army" It is mandatory for all members over the age of 12 and under the age of 60 to participate in fighting and shooting training every year.

Even if Ji Qiang was lucky, he was not infected with weirdness, became silent, and was not forced to enter any room, or the room he entered was not very dangerous, in the subsequent division of the scientific expedition team, in that fierce battle, he had no hope He survived and escaped from the vegetative rehabilitation center of Renhui Hospital.

Unexpectedly, he persisted until the end and left a suicide note.

Jiang Baimian had to feel that he was really a lucky star at the time, but no matter how lucky he was, he was inevitably trapped in Taicheng, infected with "unintentional disease", and there was only a suicide note to prove that he had been here .

With curiosity, Jiang Baimian relied on his own ability and the "comprehensive early warning system" of the military exoskeleton device to sense the surroundings, and observed the surrounding situation from the corner of his eye. At the same time, he stretched out his left hand and picked up Ji Qiang's letter. Shake your wrist and throw it away.

This has several pages.

Jiang Baimian browsed quickly:

"Lingling:

"This may be the last time I will call you that, I have been infected with 'no heart disease', and my head is slowly becoming dizzy.

"Although I have never encountered a serious 'no heart disease' with early symptoms, the performance of my colleagues made me sure that it was really 'no heart disease'. When I wrote this letter, there had been three Personally fell ill and was shot by us on the spot. If I didn't make it to the last one, this should be my end too.

"The difficulty I originally told you is that you have to stay on the ice sheet for several months and survey the situation in a large area. That way you may face a snowstorm and a cold season that is several times worse than the winter in Wubei.

"In this kind of season, this kind of task, every time someone sacrifices on duty, I was mainly worried about this at first.

"But things have changed beyond my imagination. This is a strange, bloody, crazy, and desperate encounter.

"We found a strange city that we had passed by twice before and hadn't noticed at all, and we entered a building that didn't seem to belong to this world.

"I can't tell you the specifics. This is because it is bound by the code of confidentiality. Second, I don't want you to have nightmares because of it, and I don't want you to worry about it for the rest of your life. I want to investigate the truth and avenge me.

"What I can tell you is that the culprit of the whole thing has died in that building, in the fierce battle that occurred after the team split. The only thing I am confused about is why he and those people did those things. Don't worry, the organization will investigate, we have the ability.

"When I was a child, when I heard my grandpa and grandma tell stories about the early days of the Salvation Army, I didn't really understand why a loving couple in those days couldn't persist after being separated due to wars, disasters, and orders from the organization. When we meet again, each has his own lover.

"Now, I vaguely understand.

"Lingling, let me call you that again. Behind this suicide note, I wrote a special application to transfer you back to Wubei. As a victim on duty, I have the qualifications.

"When you go back to Wubei, remember to visit my parents. I didn't leave them a suicide note, and I don't want the organization to notify them. I'm afraid they will be too old to take the excitement. When you visit them, you can slowly pave the way for me. About the sacrifice, wait until they are mentally prepared before telling them.

"Lingling, when you go back to Wubei, remember to find someone else. You like children so much. When you talk about the future with me, your eyes will light up. I still remember that you said you would like me because of us. When we first met, I patiently helped a child fix her toy, and I still remember how beautiful you were when you smiled.

"Lingling, when you look for a partner again, you must choose someone who works in Wubei and will not be sent abroad, even if he gets a little less receipts every month, it doesn't matter much.

"Lingling, I'd rather be a Taiping dog than be a chaotic person."

I would rather be a Taiping dog than a chaotic person... Jiang Baimian let out a breath slowly.

At this time, Shang Jianyao also read the letter left by Lu Fuxing.

He raised his right hand covered with metal skeleton, pressed his letter and palm to his left chest, and bowed solemnly to the corpse in front of him:

"For all mankind!"
