MTL - Real Apocalypse Game-Chapter 88 Billions are 1, 1 is billions

A figure stands on the street under the sea, among the dilapidated high-rise buildings, as if carrying out a day's daily activities.

The spotlight shines in the past, and against the background of the dilapidated buildings with doors and windows like black holes, it looks like a ghost field.

I don't know how long it has existed here, the ground is covered with thick seabed sediments, and there are even huge whale skeletons.

But judging from the furnishings and structure of the entire building complex, it seems like it just fell silent yesterday.

"My mother... If I didn't know that this is the bottom of the Amundsen Basin, I would have thought that this was a ruined town... It looks a bit like an abandoned industrial city in the former Soviet Union..." Kong Yan murmured.

A trance flashed across the face of Ivan, a member of the Xiongguo scientific expedition next to him, and exclaimed in Russian:

"Yeah...a bit like Chernobyl...like a place where ghosts live..."

Qiao, a member of the Yingguo scientific expedition, also sighed, and said in Chinese that is not fluent:

"Last time we controlled the unmanned submersible period to come here and sneak it, and we didn't have time to check it on the spot. Looking at it here, it's really weird and beautiful..."

Kong Yan couldn't help rolling his eyes, are you still embarrassed to say that? What's the difference between this behavior and rushing to eat shit...

Jiang Bing looked at the surrounding situation, turned on the communicator, and said to the base above:

"Qianlong has arrived at the predetermined location. Please answer if the signal is smooth. Done."

After a few seconds, the voice of the command room of the ruins investigation base came from the communicator:

"The signal is smooth, the picture is clear, and the inspection mission can continue. It's over."

The pictures taken by the submersible are now being transmitted by cables to the research base on the ice cap above, and then transmitted by satellite signals to the joint scientific research operation command headquarters in Reykjavik, Iceland.

On the screen wall, the picture in the deep sea was playing. Looking at the black buildings and the quiet crowd, the entire headquarters hall was also quiet.

This scene is really shocking. Although many people have heard of the existence of underwater ruins before, they think it is just a broken wall, but they did not expect that there is a complete building complex!

Moreover, the number of stone statues below, and the places where the lights reach, are hundreds or thousands, and there are still many in the darkness in the distance, extending all the time on the seabed, like a silent army.

Li Tongchen and Lu Ran were also in the hall of the command headquarters at this time, and they were the medical consultants for this operation.

After all, although there is a vaccine and almost complete isolation measures, no one knows if there will be any emergencies.

The screen shook suddenly, and the submersible began to temporarily disconnect from the main cable, dragging the auxiliary cable to dive into this underwater building.

Several bright spotlights tore apart the darkness that existed for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, and illuminated this underwater building.

"Judging from the naked eye, the building material here may be... water... cement structure!?"

Kong Yan's voice sounded in the picture, with incredible surprise.

If this building appeared on the ground, he would really doubt that it was a modern building complex.

"God... Could this be the legendary Atlantis? The sunken Atlantis?" Joe said in a stunned voice.

On the contrary, Jiang Bing and Ivan were relatively calm, and began to debug the instruments to record hydrological data.

The command from the headquarters came from the communication channel:

"Extract some building materials, and try to salvage a stone statue at the same time. Finished."

"Qianlong received." Jiang Bing replied, and at the same time ordered Ivan: "Ivan, prepare to operate the robotic arm to extract samples of building materials."

Although they did not plan similar activities for their maiden voyage, the plan is not as fast as changing. Since there is a new order, it must be implemented.

At this moment, the picture of the camera showed a slight ripple, and then returned to normal.

Shen Feng's conscious tentacles have been connected through the communication of the scientific research team, and quietly appeared in the control system of the submersible.

Looking at everything under the sea through the camera, he was silent.

Naturally, everyone on the scientific expedition team did not notice this. After all, although there is wired communication in the deep sea, it is normal for signal interference to occur.

The ordinary deep diving cabin itself is just a big metal ball without any power system. Under the heavy pressure of the deep sea, the ordinary propeller will be directly twisted and deformed.

However, Qianlong 9 itself is the most advanced submersible. This time, it has been specially modified for the mission, and a compressed gas propulsion system has been installed, which still has a certain range of activities.

The submersible locked onto a nearby high-rise building and began to descend further.

Because it is not known whether the high-rise building can still bear weight, it hovers directly in front of the building through the auxiliary cable.

Ivan held his breath, manipulated the mechanical arm, grabbed a corner of the building, and gently broke off a few pieces of building materials the size of his fist, and put them into the collection net pocket.

Although the surface of the building is covered with various marine life debris and silt, the outline and structure of the building can still be seen.

The beams of the spotlights shone through, and through the broken windows, several corridors and rows of rooms could be seen.

At this time, everyone discovered that among these buildings, there are also many stone statues standing!

These stone statues are similar to the stone statues on the seabed outside, with panic on their faces, and they seem to have turned into stone statues in a very short period of time.

"This...what is this place?" In the headquarters, Li Tongchen and Lu Ran looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Also shocked were several other medical advisors.

The building structure of this place looks a lot like... a hospital!

At this time, after Shen Feng saw the building clearly through the tentacles of his consciousness, a storm surged in his heart.

He was very familiar with this building.

Back in the apocalypse of stone statues, he had seen the structural drawings of those CDC buildings.

The building in front of you is a certain CDC in the apocalypse of stone statues!

What exactly is going on?

Is the stone statue apocalypse really the past of the earth?

But why is there only this relic in the Arctic Amundsen Basin, and there is no other relic information in the strata?

At the same time, several scientific expedition team members also fell into deep doubts.

Carbon 14 tests don't lie, this relic is indeed hundreds of thousands of years old.

But the strata don't lie either. This is the first time such a highly developed civilization has been discovered.

Where is the problem?

"From the perspective of genetic anthropology, our Homo sapiens population shrank to just over 1,000 people tens of thousands of years ago. During this period, many aspects of human evolutionary history are blank, because there are no bones or fossils. relics like that..."

Jiang Bing's face was calm and he said slowly.

"You mean... When Homo sapiens were still evolving in ignorance, there used to be highly developed civilizations in this world? But why didn't they survive? Why didn't they leave large-scale relics?" Kong Yan murmured. , his knowledge system was strongly impacted at this time~www.novelbuddy.com~ Jiang Bing controlled the submersible to retreat and said, "I didn't say anything, I was just stating a known anthropological fact."

It's just that this sentence was caught by Shen Feng's conscious tentacles, but it made him feel like he was struck by lightning.

The Homo sapiens population once shrunk to just over a thousand...

The number of brain apes is less than 2,000...

Are brain apes the ancestors of modern humans?

But then Shen Feng immediately denied this assumption.

No, the time is not right. According to the carbon 14 test here, the ruins have been hundreds of thousands of years old, and the time when Homo sapiens was nearly destroyed was 70,000 years ago.

And the most crucial piece of evidence, the strata.

Strata don't lie.

Jiang Bing's words caused all the expedition team members to fall into contemplation. The entire submersible was quiet, and everyone had their own thoughts.

The submersible had dived again at this time and came to the bottom of the sea, among the thousands of stone statues.

The robotic arm reached out, ready to salvage a stone statue for research.

The robotic arm protruded steadily and surrounded a stone statue, ready to collect it.

At this moment, a "rustle" sound suddenly came from the communication system, as if some signal was disturbed.

The scientific expedition team members in the submersible looked at each other, and the people in the headquarters and the base were also puzzled, and even Shen Feng didn't understand what was going on.

In the next instant, a strange and distorted voice suddenly came from the communicator, as if thousands of people were chanting in a low voice:

"…billions are one, one is billions, everyone is me, I am everyone...the future is one, the past is one, the present is one..."
