This Game Is Too Realistic Chapter 799: Hell is always the same
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of this game is too real!
In a dark tunnel.
More than a dozen Wilant soldiers wearing protective clothing used flashlights and carefully searched every shadow-covered corner around them while cautiously advancing forward.
The air here is suffocatingly depressing, and there seems to be a pair of coveting eyes hidden in the darkness... It is the coveting of the living by the dead.
Because this space is too quiet, any slight sound will be abrupt and unusual. Therefore, everyone has intentionally or unintentionally reduced communication, and will only talk to each other when necessary.
It has been an hour since the thousand-man team led by Favre discovered this tunnel, and a full hour has passed since this exploration team went deep into the ruins to search.
However, until now, they still have not explored the end of this tunnel. So much so that many people can't help but start to wonder if they are spinning in circles.
I don’t blame them for thinking so.
After all, this tunnel is as long as a black hole.
So much so that the deeper they explored, the stronger the feeling of uneasiness became in everyone's hearts.
It’s as if if you stay in here for a long time, you will never be able to get out again...
"Damn...where did those digging guys find this unfortunate tunnel."
"The devil knows..."
"The ruins of a settlement more than a hundred years ago... I just want to know what's the point of exploring this thing? Are there still living people here?"
"That's enough, shut up!"
Telling ghost stories at this time has no benefit other than scaring yourself. The man who was scolded by the captain smiled and stopped talking.
Others also closed their mouths involuntarily, and the eerie silence returned to the bottomless tunnel.
Finally it’s time for routine reporting again.
The Wilant soldier standing at the front of the team took a deep breath, took off the walkie-talkie hanging on his shoulder and said in a deep voice.
"This is the 'sled'... everything is normal down there, and no suspicious targets have been found yet."
After a brief rustle of electricity, the superior's voice came from the communication channel.
"Continue searching."
"...Yes!"
Obviously.
It is impossible for their superiors to allow them to come back empty-handed.
Until they find a valuable enough target, they can only continue searching in this bottomless tunnel.
The captain of the Wilantes who led the team hung up the communication, gestured to the teammates behind him, and then continued walking deeper into the tunnel with the demoralized people.
After passing through a crooked steel bar, everyone crossed a half-collapsed ventilation duct, and the space in front suddenly became spacious.
Seeing that the situation ahead had finally changed, everyone had excited expressions on their faces, and they accelerated their pace and continued forward. Soon they arrived at a small square of about a hundred square meters.
I saw a square stone monument standing in the center of the square, and crooked chairs were arranged around the stone monument.
Most of these chairs are empty, but remnants of clothing and several completely weathered skeletons can be seen near them.
Enduring the discomfort in his heart, the Wilante captain walked to the stone monument with a flashlight, and followed the flashlight's light as he searched around.
"This is the 'sleigh'... We found a square, which should be a gathering place for local survivors."
After a pause, he pointed the flashlight at the stone tablet and found lines of small words engraved on it, so he continued.
"There is a stone tablet in the center of the square. We found some engraved writings on it, which seem to be the names of local residents... Wait, there seems to be a line of writing at the bottom of the stone tablet."
After carefully identifying the small handwriting, he said with difficulty.
"'Our world has ended and we will start a new reincarnation'... I don't understand. Is this some strange religion?"
Voices continued to come from the command center.
"Is there any geographical information about this settlement on the stone tablet? For example, its name?"
"Nothing was found... Before confirming the place name, I'll just call this place 'Shibei Town'."
The Wilante captain had an expression of interest on his face, and walked around behind the stone monument with the flashlight in his hand.
Because his attention was all on the stone tablet, he didn't notice his feet at all. It wasn't until a crisp sound of "creak" came through the soles of his boots that he subconsciously lowered his head, only to realize it belatedly. He crushed a human skull under his own feet.
At this moment, he saw a scene that he would never forget.
In the open space behind the stone monument, densely packed corpses grew chaotically like weeds. And the head he stepped on was just an insignificant one. The human bones were piled up into a hill in this not-so-large space...
This doesn't look like a settlement at all.
It looks like a worship place for some kind of cult.
What is going on here? !
Even though he was used to the tragedy of mountains of corpses and seas of bones on the battlefield, he still unconsciously felt a trace of fear about this strange death in his heart.
"Damn..."
Swallowing hard, he couldn't help but take a step back until his shoulder hit the stone monument behind him.
At this moment, he was not the only one. The other Wilante soldiers who followed him deep into the tunnel also discovered the situation behind the stone tablet, and they all felt the coldness of their hands and feet.
The command center at the other end of the communication channel seemed to be aware of the abnormality of the situation below, and a hurried voice soon came from the earphones.
"This is the headquarters, what did you find?"
"Dead man..."
"Dead person?"
"Yes...there are dead people everywhere here. Starting from behind the stone monument in the square to the streets that are suspected to be buried in garbage, there are at least thousands of bones lying here. It feels like..."
The Wilante captain swallowed once again, looked around at the devastated mess, and said in a hoarse voice.
"It's like hell..."
……
At the same time that the Valant soldiers were exploring deep into hell, at the refugee camp established by the alliance a few kilometers away, two vertical take-off and landing killer whale transport planes slowly landed in the open space near the camp.
There are tens of thousands of survivors stranded there. Haibei City, which is still surrounded by the Kingdom of Heaven, is obviously not a suitable resettlement site. Both the transportation of supplies and sanitation are a big trouble.
Therefore, the Alliance Army Command issued new instructions to the frontline troops, requiring the troops stationed locally to move the survivors to a coastline one hundred kilometers away for resettlement.
There is a temporary camp for the Alliance there, as well as a temporary dock that allows cargo ships to load and unload supplies, which is more than enough to accommodate 10,000 survivors.
However, since the "Overlord" transport aircraft independently developed by the alliance must rely on the runway to take off and land, the task of transferring refugees can only be entrusted to the corporate aviation fleet.
Looking at the long line of survivors waiting in front of the tarmac, the pilot sitting in the driver's seat couldn't help but clicked his tongue and said to the Alliance soldiers who came to hand over the work.
"No offense intended...are you guys picked up from hell?"
People with missing arms and legs are everywhere here, and it is almost impossible to find a complete person.
And more than that.
Many people have rotten scars on their bodies, and they look twisted and ferocious, making it unbearable to look at.
"Almost, after all, we just crawled out of hell."
The Murderous Dagger grinned, smiled at the fussing pilot, and joked casually.
“Mutants like to eat live things, often chewing half and throwing away the other half. If they can’t finish eating, the rest will be thrown back into the dungeon to be raised... These survivors who have eaten the fruit basically don’t have to worry about wound infection or rotten meat. It will grow with the new flesh on their bodies, and eventually they will become what you see."
The pilot sitting in the co-pilot's seat retched. After a long time, he raised his head with a pale face, looked at the murderous dagger standing next to the cockpit and protested.
"...That's enough, stop talking!"
The description made him feel physically uncomfortable.
The Murderous Dagger shrugged, threw the personnel list into the cockpit, and patted the pilot on the shoulder with a smile.
"There are still more than 17,000 targets that need to be transferred, and the prisoners from the Weiland people are also planned to be handed over to us... The task is difficult, but it is left to you anyway, come on!"
Watching the soldier turn and leave, the two pilots sitting in the cockpit looked at each other and couldn't help but whisper to each other.
"I suspect that these people are mentally disturbed...otherwise how could they not feel any discomfort at all."
"I completely agree with your point of view..."
After explaining what happened here, Murderous Dagger patted the cockpit hatch, then turned around and went about other things.
While the company's transport plane was busy transferring survivors to the coastline, two Viper transport planes carrying researchers from the Alliance scientific expedition team flew over from the direction of the coastline and stopped not far from the killer whale transport plane. .
A group of researchers in white coats quickly got off the plane and, escorted by a group of loaded players, quickly headed to the entrance of Vault 20.
Currently, the entire shelter is still under the control of the Alliance's Burning Corps. The nearby streets have not only been replaced with brand-new monitoring equipment, but drones are also arranged to patrol the area 24 hours a day.
This vault will not be disclosed to other members of the Community until a review of the data stored in the vault is completed.
It is not just Chu Guang who is paying attention to the latest progress of the investigation. Fang Chang, who is very interested in Vault 20, is also paying attention to the latest progress of the scientific expedition team.
While he was waiting for the results of the investigation, Lao Bai, who came back from patrolling outside, brought him unexpected news.
"I have good news and bad news here. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Fang Chang coughed slightly when he heard this treacherous statement.
"Just start with the important one."
Lao Bai said with a grin.
"Remember those Wilantes from before? They really dug something out of the position we gave up before."
Fang Chang was stunned for a few seconds when he heard this, and then looked at Lao Bai in disbelief.
"Really or fake?"
Lao Bai nodded and said.
"It's the news given to me by the brothers in the field. It shouldn't be wrong."
Fang Chang asked immediately.
"What about the good news?"
Lao Bai said with a grin.
"What you just heard is the good news. As for the bad news...it's a pity that our friendly forces were not very lucky and found nothing except corpses."
Fang Chang frowned slightly.
"...Nothing was found except corpses?"
Lao Bai nodded and continued.
"Yes, the passage they dug seems to be the entrance to a certain settlement, but that settlement has been abandoned for more than a century, and there is nothing inside except the bodies of local survivors."
Looking at Fang Chang who was deep in thought, Lao Bai paused and continued.
“But speaking of that settlement, it’s also very weird. According to the Willant people who went to investigate the ruins, they found that the entire settlement seemed to be buried in an instant.”
“A large number of corpses of survivors gathered in the square at the entrance of the settlement. No trace of resistance was seen at the scene... Those survivors seemed to have accepted their fate, and they engraved their names on the stone tablets. , and at the same time wrote a prophecy of doomsday at the end, and finally greeted the final death calmly."
“The entire ruins smell of evil from head to toe, and what’s even more evil is that I heard from the veterans in the field that there was something mentally wrong with the Wilant soldiers who came back from below. They just As if they were frightened by something, they became suspicious... Logically speaking, this is abnormal. They are all warriors who have experienced many battles, and they would not be frightened like this by a few corpses."
Fang Chang nodded in agreement, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly raised a possibility.
"Could it be the influence of a mind interference device or some kind of bacteria?"
Old Bai shook his head and said.
"That's not clear. In fact, I was thinking about asking the Legion to ask for a few "wounded people" to come over and cooperate with our research. But the problem now is... we obtained them through abnormal means. They don’t take the initiative to disclose information, and it’s not easy for us to talk about it.”
Fang Chang sighed and said.
"Indeed... However, based on the clues dug up by the Weilant people, it can support some of the conclusions of the scientific expedition team."
Lao Bai's heart moved and he asked in surprise.
"Is there any result from the scientific expedition team?"
Fang Chang nodded and spoke slowly.
"According to the investigation opinions of the scientific expedition team, the administrator's log of Vault 20 should have been manually deleted, and it was after a catastrophic experimental result."
Lao Bai frowned and asked.
"Disastrous experimental results?"
Fang Chang nodded and continued.
"The main research direction of Vault 20 is outer space development. According to the two technical ideas they designed for 'return to space', they had considered it for two decades after Wasteland Era 51. Two sets of plans."
"The first plan is to use limited resources to build a non-orbital space elevator, step by step, to re-walk the path that the United Nations has taken. The other plan is to find a new way to launch the thinking Go to the Renlian Era space equipment that is still working in outer space to complete the rescue from the outside to the inside... This can be regarded as a disguised overtaking in a corner."
"According to the investigation conclusion of the scientific expedition team, it is very likely that Shelter No. 20 abandoned the plan from the technical feasibility demonstration stage after imagining the first set of plans, and put all the chips away from the beginning. Pressed on the second plan... We can't find any specific experimental plan for the first plan on the shelter's server. It's for this reason that they never tried it from the beginning."
Lao Bai frowned.
"Does this mean...that the orbitless space elevator plan will not work?"
"No," Fang Chang shook his head, "How can you say that something that has not been tried does not work? If that thing is really a technology that cannot be realized in principle, it will not become a plan. Appeared in this shelter."
Lao Bai asked in confusion.
"Then why did they just give up?"
Fang Chang recalled what he just heard from the NPC for a moment and continued.
"The opinion of the scientific expedition team is... At that time, the residents of Shelter 20 judged that the material cost and time cost required for the first set of plans were beyond their ability to bear. If the plan was forcibly advanced, they might spend a lot of money. Fifty years or more."
Old Bai said thoughtfully.
"Fifty years...that doesn't sound unacceptable."
"It seems so to us, but to them at the time it seemed that this time was too long... In fact, from their point of view, it is not difficult to think that it would take such a long time to return to outer space. Time, if you want to restore the territory of the Federation of People’s Federation at its peak, you don’t know how long it will take.”
After a pause, Fang Chang continued.
"The scientific expedition team speculated that due to various factors, they most likely directly chose the second plan as the direction of their efforts...Placing all their hopes on the solution that seems to be cheaper in cost but has more existence The technology of mental projection of uncertainty factors."
Lao Bai couldn't help but ask.
"Then they...succeeded?"
Fang Chang sighed softly.
"Didn't I say that the administrator's log was deleted after a disastrous experimental result..."
After a pause, he continued.
"We have no way of knowing what they did in the 21 years from 51 to 72 of the Wasteland Era, but if the corpses dug up by the Velantians were left behind by them, then the results of that experiment are no longer known. It goes without saying...the eagerness of the residents of Vault 20 led to ultimately disastrous consequences, turning the entire experiment into a desperate mass suicide."
Listening to this cruel inference, Lao Bai's Adam's apple moved up and down, and finally shook his head, holding back only one sentence.
"It's really crazy..."
Fang Chang nodded and said after a moment of silence.
"Indeed, that is another group of madmen. They belong to different eras from the Torch, but their madness is exactly the same."
"So hard not to wonder whether the Torch was inspired by his experience in Vault 20 to do so many outrageous things..."
