Chapter 488 Chapter 485 "Pingping, show Xinjia."

  Su Mingan ran down the stone steps, and the watch lit up.

   "Boom!"

   He heard the sound of the tunnel entrance being blown up behind him. It should be Nuoer helping him stop the pursuit.

  This underground passage extends in all directions, and he can only try his luck to see if he can meet the oracle.

   While walking around a corner, he saw a corpse lying in the dirt.

   This corpse has only bones left, it is lying on the ground, with two arms on the front of the chest, the palms are protecting something.

  Su Mingan glanced at it and found a blurred photo under its palm.

   He continued to walk and found many corpses, all of which were holding a photo in their arms.

  …Why did these people die here? Why are you still holding a photo in your hand?

  Su Mingan was a little puzzled.

   He continued walking for a long time.

   Finally, a bright red halo appeared in his field of vision, which was a clue to insight.

   He immediately increased his speed, and in front of him was an earthen wall.

   He exerted force under his feet, using the skill of water boots, and kicked forward.

   "Boom—"

The    earth wall shook, but it did not collapse. He took a step back, his right leg throbbing faintly from the shock.

  Behind this earth wall...there is a harder wall.

   He stretched out his hand, and the amber knife appeared in his hand.

   "Boom!"

   A violent shattering sound resounded.

   With the swipe of the long knife, the thick earth wall was shattered by this one blow, and shattered like a spider web, revealing a silver-white metal wall behind it.

   He swung the knife again, and the effect of space fragmentation was fully displayed. With a sharp "click" sound, the seemingly incomparably hard metal wall was directly cut out by him.

   A bright light suddenly shot out from the wall.

  …is there a light in it?

   He drilled down the hole, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

   He looked at the scene inside in shock, as if he saw a world with a different style of painting.

   Beside him is a glass cabinet, which is filled with various bottles and jars that are of no use. These bottles have been broken and the liquid has dried up. Balances, measuring cylinders, test tubes, knives...they are scattered everywhere.

   He even saw a table of chemical elements hanging on the wall, as well as sophisticated iron instruments. There are some pulled, dried blood on the ground, I don't know what happened here.

  …What the **** is this place?

   A dome like a primitive tribe actually has such a modern technology laboratory?

   Judging from the current situation, the people living inside should have fled in a hurry. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so chaotic here, it's almost the same as the post-disaster scene.

   "Ding dong!"

  【Get Key Clues ·Underground Laboratory】

  【(Underground Laboratory): You found the underground passage of the first tribe, and there is a modern laboratory hidden in it. What does this mean? 】

  …

  【You found (No. 100 metal), (broken chemicals), (destroyed iron instruments), (messy formula paper), are you investigating? 】

   "Investigate." Su Ming'an said.

  …

  【You lack the relevant experimental knowledge and scientific research level, so you cannot investigate. 】

  …

  Su Ming'an did not expect to receive such a prompt.

   But this is also reasonable, after all, his knowledge of chemistry and biology is only high school level, and he can't understand these very messy formulas.

   In the whole room, the only thing he could understand... Probably only the periodic table on the wall.

   is also limited to the first twenty elements.

   After walking around, he saw an iron gate in the corner.

   He slashed open, revealing the scene in the room.

   If the place just now is the experimental area, this should be the living area.

  The sofa, the soft chair, the wardrobe, the rotten fruit in the cupboard, the coat hanging on the hanger, the aging razor with the beard... All show that this is a place to live.

   The people in this room also seem to have left suddenly, leaving only the various daily items before leaving.

   "Anyone?" he said, but no one responded.

   He continued to enter and found pictures hanging on the wall above the sofa.

It's just, it's very strange that this is obviously a very wide photo wall, but only three or four photos are hung here and there. Hundreds of nails without photos are stuck in the wall, leaving a large area. .

  He stepped on the sofa, intending to observe the photos.

   "Boom! Boom!"

   With two crisp sounds, he felt that his feet were empty, and his legs were directly plunged into the sponge of the sofa.

  This sofa is a little old, the leather is full of pits and rotten as if it had been bitten by someone, and it was broken when he stepped on it twice.

  He pulled out his legs speechlessly and looked at the photos with his own eyesight.

   These photos include single-person photos and group photos. People are wearing modern clothes.

   He observes, his eyes resting on a photo.

   This is a photo of a family of three.

   The man in the photo is wearing a white lab coat with a badge on his chest. Beside him is a woman in a long dress holding a baby in her arms.

   Both of them have oriental faces with soft lines. At this time, their faces are full of smiles, as if they are looking forward to a better future.

  Su Mingan's gaze stopped because of the background behind them.

  …It was a blue ocean.

  Under the sunlight, the blue sea is even more sparkling. It is integrated with the distant island, beautiful and full of life, like a quiet and beautiful sunset oil painting.

  The man in the white coat was wearing a gorgeous rose on his chest, which was like a ruby ​​embellished on his white coat.

  Su Ming'an remembers... There is no sea in the Vault, and in the Vault, there are no other flowers that can open except for the Miracle Fire Flower.

Before   , there was a bright red curse fire flower on Sibel's hair. She said that due to the heavy pollution, it was difficult for other flowers to bloom except for the curse fire flower.

  Things that are absent in both domes appear together in this photo, which is enough to explain a lot.

  These photos should be the photos of experimenters who once lived in the laboratory.

   And these photos were taken before the experimenters entered the dome.

   The dome has in and out but not out. Did they... take the initiative to pass through that black wall and come to the Vault of Earth?

  Su Mingan retracted his gaze, continued walking in, and saw a row of beds.

   He searched the beds, and suddenly found a large cardboard box hidden under the bed, with a mountain of letters in the cardboard box. They were carefully glued into the form of a small book that could be opened page by page.

   He turned a page, and a gust of dust rushed to his face.

  …

  【Pingping:

  Zhan Suga.

   It has been ten days since my colleagues and I arrived at the dome.

  It does take courage to go through the black wall, but my memory has been restored by the stimulation of the photos, and I think of you again. Before that, I was so confused, it was really funny, but fortunately I didn't let you and my daughter see it.

   The colleagues of the engineering team have already started to build an underground laboratory. We temporarily live in a closed building on the ground. The waiting time is a bit torturous, and the black fog at night is as terrifying as rumors.

   But that's okay, I've started writing to you, and I'll get through this tough time.

   Although these letters cannot be delivered to your hands, I assume you will see them, and entertain yourself first. 】

  …

   This seems to be a family letter written by one of the experimenters. This man and his partners came from the outside world, crossed the black wall to the vault, established this laboratory, and started writing a diary.

   This is a good clue so that he can find information from this diary-like home letter.

  …I just don’t know, why did this group of people take the initiative to come to the Vault?

   He continued to read.

  …

  【Pingping:

  Zhan Suga.

  The experiment is going on smoothly. Under the stimulation of the X-2 agent, the experimental animals show the characteristics of curse elimination, which is good news.

   I believe that sooner or later, we will find a way to eliminate the curse of the Qiongdi people.

  Charlie said he wanted to try hot pot, and we celebrated with the dried vegetables we brought, but because there was no suitable base, the taste was a bit bland, but it was better than canned food.

  Pingping, I miss some Mapo tofu made by you. Your craftsmanship should be getting better and better. 】

  …

  【Pingping:

  Zhan Suga.

   In the past few days, everyone has been busy with the people of the first tribe, and we are a little afraid of them.

   There is no way, after all, they look like "monsters" to us. They can actually master the power brought by the curse, which is too dangerous, it's just a ticking time bomb. Luckily they can't get out and won't hurt our world.

  Fortunately, the old patriarch of the first tribe was very talkative, and he promised to provide us with the experimental body, which is really good, and I hope our experiment can be successful as soon as possible. 】

  …

  【Pingping:

  Zhan Suga.

   Nothing special these days, the experiment is going on steadily.

  This morning, everyone went to the living room to hang up photos, and I specially hung the photo with you in the middle. It's the one with the sea in the background. I heard that there is no sea in the dome, which is a pity. I hope we can take another picture when we go back.

   The rose you gave me has withered, and I asked Captain Karl, who was out of the team, to bring me some flowers back. 】

  …

  【Pingping:

  Zhan Suga.

  The experiment went well, and the animals whose curses have been eliminated are still alive. Next, we will conduct experiments on humans.

   Dr. Terry was a little reluctant, and human trials made him unacceptable. But there is no way, the curse of the vault is too dangerous, even with the protection of the black wall, we are not sure whether the black wall will collapse and whether the curse will come to our world...

  I hope that you and your daughter can live well in the outside world.

   We will work hard to remove the curse of the Vault.

   Captain Carl, who was out of the team, came back, and he said that there is only the flower of the curse fire that is not afraid of flames. He exchanged a cursed spark seed for me, saying that this kind of flower is amazing, it doesn't need sunlight or rain, and it can bloom in five years as long as it stays by people's side.

  Five years is a bit long for me, but its words are "hope" and "wait", which fits us very well. Hopefully in five years, I'll take it back to see you. 】

  …

  【Pingping:

  Zhan Suga.

   I haven’t written a letter for a long time, and I feel a little sad.

  There was an accident in the human experiment, and some people were sacrificed.

  Although each of us was ready to sacrifice from the moment we decided to enter the vault, when we really saw the passing of others, we were all a little unacceptable.

   We buried the deceased in the mud and held a simple funeral.

  When I was burying the soil, I was thinking, we people are still moving forward, changing the world constantly, but the dead person has always stopped in the past, he stopped on an invisible road.

   If it was me who died here now, how sad it would be for us.

  No, I shouldn't have thought that, I just missed you a little.

  When I think of you, those majestic data, those complicated reactions, those vast experimental books are all insignificant in my eyes,

  If I can see you, I can start over on how troublesome things are.

   Today, I miss you so much. 】

  …

  【Pingping:

  Zhan Suga…】

  …

  【Pingping:

  Zhan Suga…】

  …

  Su Mingan was flipping through the pages. This seemed to be the home letter of the man in the white coat on the photo wall. Except for some experimental records, the content is all trivial words he wrote to his wife. What outgoing team brought some candy, he wrote it down on the letter.

   He turned to the next page, which was stained with yellow spots, like smudges from eating.
