In a pitch-dark room, only the indicator lights on the dozens of dormant cabins placed against the wall glowed with a faint green light, illuminating the metal walls and the surrounding circuit pipes that were connected to the ceiling.
After a long time, the green light suddenly turned dazzling red, and the white gas from the vaporization of liquid nitrogen was ejected from the pressure hole. In the flashing red light, the words "Destroyed, hibernation terminated" popped up on the display of the dormant cabin, and the alarm sounded one after another.
Dong Zheng, who had just been sucked into the box, opened his eyes.
After clearing Dusk Island, in order to accumulate enough points to buy a ticket to the next area, they entered three boxes one after another, and all of them passed very smoothly. This is the fourth one. According to the information obtained, it is called [Snow bug tracks].
The transparent canopy popped open automatically, and in the mist, he stretched out his hand and pushed the oxygen mask in front of him to the side, and sat up.
Beside him, Dong Linhai, Lin Hangzhi, Allen and Wang Que also opened the dormancy cabins one after another, and sat up straight with their bodies supported.
The dormant cabin was filled with special biological solutions used to protect body cells and prevent the body from shrinking due to prolonged dormancy, and everyone was wet. Dong Linhai wiped the liquid from his face, looked around, and asked the questions that were written in everyone's heart now.
"Where is this?"
No one could answer him for the time being. Dong Zheng rolled over from the dormant cabin, pressed his right hand on the prisoner's coat of arms on the back of his left hand, the grass coat of arms lit up, and the boy's figure appeared beside him, seeing everyone's current attire. , Cui Zuojing couldn't help whistling.
They are all dressed in dark green military uniforms, with the national emblem embroidered on the epaulettes. I have to say that military uniforms really can reflect a person's temperament. The two Dong brothers and Alan, who were originally tall and straight, looked even more heroic. Even Lin Hangzhi, who was dejected and habitually hunchbacked, was much more energetic.
The clothes were wet and attached to the body, revealing all the curves. Wang Que was embarrassed and grabbed the chest of the jacket, wanting to find something to replace.
Dong Linhai summoned Victor. Since he successfully controlled the summoned beast contract with Victor in Dusk Island, everything has become more convenient.
In a dark room, Victor, as a white cat, has much better eyesight than a few people.
A beep rang in everyone's head:
[Main mission: Send a contact signal to immigrants outside the department, with a time limit of 72 hours.]
In the upper left corner of the field of vision, the countdown of 71:58:27 appears and disappears quickly. When you want to know the time, you only need to think about it, and it will automatically appear in front of people again.
"Immigration from outside the department, is this a sci-fi background?" Allen took off his shirt and twisted away the solution. At this time, Dong Zheng groped in the dark, touched the switch on the wall, and turned on the light.
The light illuminated the entire room. This was a lounge, and there were dozens of ellipsoid dormant cabins placed side by side against the wall. Except for the few they came out, the rest were all glowing red.
Lin Hangzhi ran over to look. Through the transparent canopy, he could clearly see the sleeping face of the middle-aged man. The words "Destruction, Dormancy Terminated" flashed on the display screen. The mask also popped off automatically, but the man did not any reaction.
Obviously, he had died in hibernation, but the freezing environment of liquid nitrogen and the special biological solution prevented his body from decomposing.
The same is true for the other people in the dormant cabin. In the entire room, only a few of them successfully woke up.
There is a cabinet near the dormant cabin, from which Dong Linhai found some clean clothes and nutrient solution, apparently for people who have just woken up from dormancy and are still very weak.
The box automatically provided the appropriate number and quantity according to the number of people who entered. Except for Cui Zuojing, they each changed into clean clothes.
The texture of this clothes is not like any other known textile materials. The elasticity and toughness are very good. Dong Zheng tried to soak it in water, and it dried quickly.
For the time being, it can be determined that it is the background of the future. At this time, Cui Zuojing, who has been idle and has nothing to do, walked around the entire dormant room. He stood in front of the structure that seemed to be a door full of science fiction, with his palm on the side. In the upper row of the identifier, I got a bright red "No passage".
Cui Zuojing clicked his tongue and hooked his finger on Dong Zheng.
In the past, Dong Zheng also pressed the recognizer, and the screen lit up with a purple light, showing "S-level authority, allowed to pass".
Dong Zheng raised his hand and showed Cui Zuojing the wristband on his right hand, which contained a purple chip, "Fingerprint recognition, plus chip recognition to confirm the authority."
Cui Zuojing: "There should be pilgrims who enter normally."
Allen also looked at it and said, "Mine is a blue chip, and the level should be one level lower. After all, he is the captain."
After searching the dormant room, Dong Linhai distributed the useful trophies, including nutrient solution, instant food, medical oxygen, etc., to everyone and threw away the useless ones. Suddenly, he felt like he was playing a live-action version of Resident Evil.
At this moment, he seems to have transformed into a heroic American soldier, Leon Kennedy, the actor known as "Li Sanguang".
Leaving the dormant room, they entered a long, wide corridor with similar dormant rooms on both sides. Dong Zheng took a look around with the S-level authority. These rooms are similar in structure to the place where they just came out. There are nearly 20 dormant cabins in each room, and people in military uniforms are sleeping in them, but the instructions of these dormant cabins The light is green for everything.
They are still dormant healthy.
This entire floor is probably used as a living area. After searching around, they didn't find any useful information. They found an elevator at the end of the corridor and stood up. The lifts can only run between specific floors, and the buttons are covered in a thick layer of dust that, roughly speaking, hasn't been moved for decades.
Dong Zheng pressed the down button, and the elevator, which had been out of business for an unknown number of years, finally ran again, taking them to the next floor.
This floor seems to be an office area, and there are a lot of useful things. With S-level authority, no door can stop Dong Zheng. They searched all the offices and found a considerable number of documents, and initially determined that this was a military base.
"Come and look at this!" Dong Linhai stepped on the desk and waved the documents he had found from the top of the cabinet. These papers were sealed with special plastic and were not damaged in any way. They were also stamped with red stamps on the front page. The words "Top Secret for Humanity".
Dong Zheng: "What did you write?"
Dong Linhai cleared his throat and said loudly: "Because the fifth ice age is coming, the earth will be completely unsuitable for human survival, the United Nations has made a decision to use the existing technology to move to a neighbor 4.22 light-years away from the earth. The galaxy, due to the large number of humans, cannot all leave, after the lottery, people who have not obtained the qualification to board the ship can sleep in the dormant cabin until the end of this ice age, and the earth will wake up when the interglacial period is entered again."
He skipped a few lines of less important content and continued to read: "This place used to be the Jinan base in the northern theater of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the army office. When the ice age came, there were a total of 1,163 soldiers and soldiers. Volunteering, they will join tens of thousands of people in this city to rebuild their homes after the ice age ends."
"On November 9, 2472, the Chinese People's Liberation Army's Northern Theater Command Jinan Base stayed."
Lin Hangzhi: "What time is it now, have we seen the date?"
"Not yet, I guess I need to find an electronic device that can be turned on."
In order to ensure that it can last longer in the Ice Age, the entire base maintains a state of minimum energy consumption, and almost all the energy is used to support the 1,163 dormant cabins.
Even the fluorescent light source used for emergency lights on the aisle, if Dong Linhai had not pulled out a hand-cranked flashlight from the first office along the way, everyone would have to explore in the dark.
The windows of the base were all sealed with iron sheets, and no light could penetrate, but since it was a shelter built to survive the Ice Age, it should have been built underground.
They moved on and found a staircase in the middle of this floor. Unlike other buildings, there is no distribution of the structural functions of each floor except for the floor markings.
The light of the hand-cranked flashlight swayed and illuminated the mark on the entrance of the stairs - 5D, -153m.
There are five underground floors, 153 meters from the surface.
After the arrival of the Ice Age, many nuclear power plants left by human beings will inevitably have nuclear leakage due to unmanned management for a long period of time. Lead sheet and high-manganese steel sheet construct the shelter's outer shell.
This is the cocoon room where human beings are sleeping, waiting to wake up again.
Not sure whether the base is safe or not, the few people did not separate, and spent three or four hours together to explore the entire base.
The entire underground base consists of seven floors. The first floor stores a large amount of materials and armaments, the second floor is used as an activity area, the third and fourth floors are where the dormant cabins are located, the fifth floor is an office area, the sixth floor is also a material storage floor, and the bottom floor Only those with S-level or higher authority can enter.
After exploring this level, Dong Zhengcai finally found the place he wanted to go - the command post of the entire base.
There is the most powerful computer unit here, storing many materials that can make human society survive, and many preparation data before the advent of the Ice Age.
The few people who entered the military base for the first time were all very curious. They touched it here and looked there. With the help of the box, they had already reached many places that ordinary people may have missed in their lifetime.
As a prisoner, Cui Zuojing had no reasonable identity, so he could only temporarily return to the prisoner space and let Dong Zheng take him in.
All the way to the main control room, Dong Zheng looked at the huge operation dashboard in front of him and fell into contemplation.
The level of technology in 2472 is beyond the control of those who live around 2020, and they even say that, apart from knowing that humans have built spaceships and quite advanced dormancy capsules that can go to extrasolar systems Technology doesn't know much more than the rest.
But how to start, Dong Zheng will probably still know.
He pondered for a moment at the prototype button with a short vertical line in the upper right corner of the dashboard, and pressed it with the mentality of trying it.
A few seconds later, the many indicators on the console lighted up in different colors one after another, and the dull sound of the computer fan running in the entire control room broke the dead silence.
The 65-inch screen suddenly lights up, showing "Please show permission".
Dong Zheng put his wrist on the identification place, and with a light beep, the permission identification passed, and the screen finally jumped into the manipulation interface.
In the lower right corner, a line of dates is clearly written—
July 13, 5521 AD.
At this moment, it has been three thousand years since the advent of the Fifth Ice Age.
