The data from the spacecraft showed that there were no signs of life around. In other words, the five vehicles were the only life here.
The loose soil is dark yellow and red, with no vegetation. Compared with the name Earth, this place is more like Mars.
The hazy environment was like fog, with visibility less than a few dozen meters. The radiation was 32 microsieverts per second, and the air was mixed with hydrogen, formaldehyde and other gases that shouldn't be there.
The address of Heishan Science and Technology Base is 1.3 kilometers away from here, heading to the west.
Joyce's voice sounded over the vehicle's communicator, requesting that the queue be spread out to enter the town.
At this moment, the communicator light came on, and Mu Su's arrogant shout came from it.
"This is my escape route, Qiao Qiao! Huh...? Why doesn't the car move? Bang bang - don't come over! Ah, I'm really joking with your leader. If you don't believe me, just ask... Sand waterfall funeral! Damn the sand.
No belt, Qi Yin... Hahaha, I was joking with you just now. If you don’t believe me, ask Qiao Qiao.”
The arrogant shouts did not last long before being replaced by sounds of panic.
"Qiaoqiao, please say something nice for me! They have already started to take off their pants!"
The other seven members in the car with Musu looked at each other in confusion.
Joyce said to the communicator: "Mr. Mu Su was joking with me just now."
The seven members looked at each other, and a woman stood up and explained to the communicator: "Uh... yes, leader. And we didn't do anything just now."
"I know."
The all-terrain vehicle started. Five vehicles lined up and drove from the plains along the road full of cracks and gaps into the dilapidated town.
On both sides are familiar yet unfamiliar silhouettes of buildings looming in the yellow mist.
The window glass is scattered and covered with a thick layer of dust. The empty interior is exposed to the field of vision and is lifeless.
The convoy stopped in the center of the town. Joyce ordered the members of Chen Yue's vehicle to put on protective gear and go outside to search for clues. The town is very close to the Black Mountain Technology Base, so there must be some clues.
Hopefully those clues are still there.
The rear hatch of the vehicle opened, and several figures wearing protective clothing, not looking bloated but just fat, came down one after another.
After getting off the car, Chen Yue's black eyes narrowed slightly.
She thought these were mist caused by toxic substances, but now that she looked carefully... they were tiny floating particles visible to the naked eye.
He stretched out his hand with empty claws, and the particles slipped out between his fingers.
The air here is dead and there is no circulation at all. When the body walks through it, the floating particles are stirred up and turned into tiny whirlpools behind it.
Members in other vehicles witnessed this scene through the screen, but they did not see it clearly with the naked eye.
"I feel like a fallen leaf is returning to its roots...it's over."
The communicator transmitted the chatter of outside members.
"Finished just like you."
"Now I really want to take off my mask and take a deep breath of the air of my hometown... Oh, it's over."
"You're going to die man, over."
Joyce did not ban chatter on the communicator. He was observing the screen.
Eight figures walked towards the nearest house on the roadside. It used to be a clothing store. The large display window had no glass, and several heads and bodies were scattered around the corner of the platform - they belonged to dummies.
A figure stepped through the window first, and the searchlight above his head was turned on, illuminating the dark room. He turned back to his companion and said: "You don't want to go through the door, just finish it."
The woman was standing in front of the door, her hand stretched out as if she was about to open the door. After hearing the teasing, she walked straight in through the door with only the door frame left.
"That's right, done."
Three other members stayed outside on guard.
Chen Yue and the other four people entered the store to check.
Apart from the four walls, only the rusty metal clothes hangers were left standing in place. The wooden platform at the front desk was still intact, but it didn't feel strong at all when touched, as if it was dented in butter.
There are no clues at all, not even a word can be seen. The only thing in the magazine is covered with a layer of dark yellow dust, and turns into fly ash as soon as it is touched.
No one came back without success.
"It's so damn quiet in here, over."
One member complained that he could only hear his own breathing.
Chen Yue looked at him: "Okay, let's chat later. The spaceship will transfer the map of the town in the 21st century."
Ten seconds later, eight people and the vehicle received the map at the same time.
Chen Yue marked the mayor's office on the map. The office is on the same street, 150 meters ahead.
There is no need to return to the vehicle, the eight people go directly with the vehicle.
The tracks leave obvious traces behind them.
The mayor's office is a three-story red brick building.
Leaving the two of them guarding the door, Chen Yue led the team into the building one after another.
The two of them were on the first floor, and the members entered the room in an orderly manner, searched, and took photos of all the words that could or could not be discerned.
On the third floor, walking up the cement steps, Chen Yue saw at a glance the scratches on the iron plate on the damaged door.
【Mayor's Office】
Asking the following members to guard the corridor, Chen Yue gently opened the door.
After 400 years, this wooden door had long been corroded, and after a slight push, it fell inward. Chen Yue subconsciously covered her mouth and nose, but then realized she put on a protective shield.
puff--
Amidst the fine sound, large amounts of dust rose up.
Chen Yue frowned, turned up the power of the searchlight, and stepped into the room, which was as turbid as the mud stirred up from the bottom of the water.
Her eyes were attracted to the monitor on the wooden table next to the wall. She walked over and carefully wiped off the dust on the screen. After thinking about it, she took out a small portable energy source from the waist of her protective suit, connected the interface to the computer case, and then pressed the button.
Buzz——
While the fan was spinning hard, the screen suddenly turned on.
very good!
Chen Yue bit her silver teeth lightly.
An unfamiliar logo appeared, and after a while, the screen suddenly turned blue and text appeared.
Chen Yue couldn't see clearly, so she wiped the screen again. Finding that it was still a little blurry, she turned to wipe the mask.
This time it's clear.
Read the text, the above content roughly means memory corruption.
"Take out the hard drive."
Observe all Joyce reminders.
Chen Yue understood, unplugged the portable power supply, then picked up the monitor and chassis together, made sure there were no missing clues in the room, and then rushed out of the muddy room.
She didn't know which one was the hard drive, so she took them all away.
Just as she was going downstairs, a scream came from the communicator: "What the hell is that!"
"What did you see?"
The communicator heard the voice of a member of the vehicle: "The screen did not capture anything."
The member who had screamed earlier stumbled and said, "I know... I saw it from the corner of my eye. There was a black shadow... It was my imagination... It's over."
Chen Yue hurried downstairs, frowned and said: "Your eyes are fine, there is no illusion. The vehicle turns on life detection and scans this office."
[The number of life forms searched is: 6]
"It seems that you are indeed dazzled." A member interrupted.
"Don't take it lightly." Chen Yue said, going down to the first floor and walking onto the street.
"Come back. Let's go directly to the Black Mountain Technology Base."
Joyce gave them orders, and the members who had received the orders withdrew one after another.
"Everyone returned to the vehicle and gradually drove away from the dead town. However, none of them knew that at the corner of the wall, a malicious look suddenly flashed away..."
"Mr. Mu Su, please respect yourself." Joyce replied to Mu Su on the communicator.
