The archives are finally here!
What surprised Tianyang was that there were many corpses piled up outside the room. These corpses had long been frozen in time, and they still showed the scene just before death, as if the distant past had been frozen in the moment of death.
Judging from the clothes of the corpses, they should all be personnel in the base. There are men and women. Some of the corpses are sitting on the ground with their backs facing the archives, and they raise their hands as if they want to resist something.
Of course, in the end, they didn't stop anything. These corpses either had their arms cut off by sharp objects or had huge wounds on their bodies. Very serious lacerations, they exposed the internal organs of the human body to the air.
Some bodies were running or crawling, facing the archives, as if at that moment, they just wanted to hide in the room. But they were caught up by the god of death, and these bodies were seriously injured.
Either their bodies were bitten off by something, or their limbs were torn off and thrown to the ground nearby.
Regardless of the cause of death, one thing is the same: these bodies have been exposed to instantaneous high temperatures or some kind of radioactive energy.
This causes them to remain in this state many years after death, but if you accidentally touch them, their bodies will turn into ashes and fall away.
Since the corpses almost filled the road, Tianyang inevitably destroyed more than a dozen bodies when he arrived at the gate of the archives.
For this, he could only express his deepest apologies.
The door of the archive room was tightly closed. It was not an electronically controlled automatic door, but a more ancient door lock. The triangular keyhole in front of him made Tianyang know that he needed to find a matching key to enter.
Otherwise, if violence is used, the things inside might be destroyed.
Fortunately, the key was not difficult to find, and it could even be said to be extremely simple, because it was held in the hand of one of the corpses, and the corpse was only one step away from the door.
The deceased raised his hand towards the door, holding a strange key. The handle was designed in the shape of a triangle, and there were clear lines engraved on the surface.
When Tian Yang held the key and gently pulled it out, the dead man's fingers scattered and the whole body turned into a pool of white ash.
Feel sorry.
The boy thought to himself, then inserted the key into the lock and tried to turn it. There was a ticking sound from the door lock, and although it was very difficult to turn, it finally opened successfully.
Communicate through the black fog and extend your thoughts and feelings.
Tianyang did not open the door rashly, but tried his best to use his advantages. Through the metal door, he could see the room inside.
In the archive, there are rows of electronic storage devices on both sides and a row of filing cabinets in the middle. At the end is a control console with densely packed buttons and a huge display screen hanging above.
Perhaps in the past, base personnel could use the console to quickly search for the information they wanted. But now, these machines may have become decorations.
Apart from witnessing the vicissitudes of time, they can no longer play any role at all.
Fortunately, no illegal immigrants were found in the archives. Apart from the thick dust, it can be described as "clean".
Tianyang took out the key, pushed open the door, and walked into the archive.
In order not to be disturbed
, he closed the door and locked it from the inside with a key.
The black fog allowed him to see the structure of the space, but it prevented him from reading the documents, so the boy took out a fluorescent stick. After the cold light came on, he threw it out.
Take out two more and prepare them in the same way.
The archives immediately lit up, and Tianyang even felt that they were a little too bright.
It's over. I'm becoming more and more like a dark creature. A trace of worry flashed through the boy's mind, and he walked to a filing cabinet.
The cabinet was locked, but that couldn't stop the boy. A red moon sword was a convenient lock-picking tool.
The blade glowed crimson with the infusion of star energy. The hot blade easily broke open the door of the cabinet, revealing the documents inside to Tianyang's eyes.
Like the documents found in the reference room, the paper used for the archival documents here has stood the test of time.
Tianyang tried to pick up one of them, and ran his hand over the paper, and the paper was intact.
At this time, the boy was sure that the Beidou base must have used some special formula to make paper that could be preserved for a long time.
Perhaps they have considered that if electronic devices fail, the files stored in them will be lost. In contrast, records saved in paper media can be stored for a longer period of time.
And now, after a long time, the records preserved in this ancient way reappear before the eyes of a young man in another world.
Tianyang opened the document. It was an attendance record, nothing special.
He put it down and picked up another document, which was the material dispatch record of the base. It was similar to the one he had seen before, but more detailed.
For example, here it is recorded that a certain instrument comes from Shanghai.
Tianyang shook his head. He could understand the word "sea". What was Shanghai? It seemed to be a place name. But why was it called Shanghai? Could it be that there was an ocean floating in the sky
The Reverse Realm is truly a magical place, and its writings are truly profound and extensive.
Tianyang was searching through various records in the archives. After reading countless documents, he finally found one that was valuable.
This is a base diary!
Tianyang pulled over a chair and blew on it, but instead of blowing the dust away, it choked him and made him cough a few times.
The boy wiped the dust off the chair with his sleeve depressedly, sat down, took out a fluorescent stick, lit it up, and looked at the document.
'In 2069 AD, the base was finally built. As the person in charge of this base, I am honored to give it a name: Beidou! '
'Before I start recording the events at the base, I want to write something down. I hope that people in the future can read this and take it as a warning. Oh, I wish we still have future generations.'
'Over the past 100 years, our planet has experienced so many disasters. Greenhouse effect, industrial pollution, volcanic eruptions, polar melting... The planet we live on is getting hotter and hotter. It is like a huge oven that will burn us to ashes sooner or later.'
'It is no exaggeration to say that all of this is our own fault. The Industrial Revolution has made our civilization take a big step forward. But at the same time, it has also opened Pandora's box.'
'As technology advances, our demands on nature are becoming more severe.
The excessive pursuit of resources eventually led to countless disasters. However, we still did not learn from it, and even intensified the exploitation of the value of this planet. Finally, retribution came.'
'Disasters happen frequently and viruses are rampant. There was once a wildfire that burned for more than half a year, killing a billion innocent lives. There was once a plague that lasted for years, infecting millions of people! And these shocking figures continued to rise in the following decades.'
'One day ten years ago, we suddenly found that the weather had become cooler. The world seemed to be moving in a positive direction, but it didn't take long for us to realize that we were wrong. The world did not get better, but took a sharp turn for the worse, sliding rapidly towards the side of the abyss! '
'We soon discovered that the sun's rays were fading, the nights were becoming longer and longer, and the days were becoming shorter and shorter every day.'
'The light gradually fades away from us, and darkness and disasters quietly descend. Earthquakes, plate shifts, and the earth's axis shifts. More and more unpreventable viruses appear out of thin air, and countless species disappear at an alarming rate... '
'Just five years ago, the demon disease appeared. Until now, no one has been able to explain the principle of this virus. It completely changed the genes of organisms, twisting and mutating humans or animals into something else. The demons that originally only existed in classics and legends are now rampant in the land, forests and oceans! '
'So we know that the final judgment has come, and the world has come to an end. But we are unwilling to accept it, or perhaps we are too cowardly. But isn't survival the instinct of life? So we try our best to turn the tide.'
'So when Professor Fan Wenzhe discovered the tomb, we started to build two bases to prepare for opening the tomb. We believe that it is the tomb where the gods rest, and we will definitely find a way to save it there.'
Seeing this, Tian Yang couldn't help but take a deep breath. Although it was just some written records, and although the information was limited, when reading these words, Tian Yang read deep despair and unwilling struggle between the lines.
He smiled bitterly. When the base was first established, the residents of the Reverse World should have placed high hopes on the so-called "grave". But who would have thought that it was not a place for gods to rest, but a grave where demons lived!
In addition, records show that a demonic disease has appeared in the Reverse Realm. Some unknown virus has infected the creatures in the Reverse Realm and twisted them into other things.
Since these things are labeled as demons by the residents of the opposite world, they must not be good people.
Could it be that they were the earliest group of dark people
The first generation of black people in this No. 127 counter-world
After adjusting his breathing, Tianyang rubbed his sore eyes, raised the glow stick, and continued to read the base diary in the cool light emitted by the glow stick.
'In 2070 AD, Professor Fan Wenzhe decided to lead the team into the 'tomb' himself. He was right, we no longer have time to investigate. The world has entered the countdown to its end, and every minute and every second is precious to us. We need to find a way to save the world as soon as possible, and that tomb will be the key! '
'In March of the same year...'
Just as Tianyang was reading the base documents, a piece of ash floated out from the darkness in the passage outside the door. It moved gracefully in the air and gradually floated towards the door of the archives...
