Chapter 365 SG-0274
As the group landed, they gained a completely new understanding of the scale of the base.
The group walked to the nearest domed building, where all was silent.
It was like the calm before the storm.
The star veins spread out, and apart from the interior of the building, the rest of the area was completely visible.
No star pulse was detected, and the system did not provide any notification.
It seems that only by entering it can the answer be found.
"Should we investigate separately or together?" Blade asked Xu Si.
This is just preliminary reconnaissance and does not require a unified action.
"Let's break up!" Xu Si said briefly.
He actually wanted to go and see that place that seemed to be the central hub.
His star veins can completely cover that area, so he might be able to find information about this base.
Blade nodded and gestured to the group of people.
Then, countless flat paper figures flew out of Misu's drawing board like a money gun.
Then those paper figures, as if drunk, swayed and clung tightly to the 'egg-shaped capsule' in front of them.
It seems to be looking for a gap to enter.
"Let's go too!" Xu Si said, looking quite surprised.
The area here is large enough for the few of them to explore.
"I'll go check out that building. You guys try to get inside!" Xu Si said to the three of them, pointing to the 'egg-shaped cabin' not far away.
This kind of investigation should actually be carried out by Chen Pei.
If it were him, perhaps no special skills would be needed.
Chen Pei can infiltrate any gap or crevice.
"Go ahead and try? Watch my fists!" Tashan had already figured out how to get in.
However, if we're really talking about fists, Su Su's fists are harder.
Xu Si didn't say anything.
With Su Su around, their safety shouldn't be a big problem.
And he also has his Starlink, so he can come to his aid at any time.
Xu Si landed in front of the multi-story building, his star pulse sweeping across the entire structure.
It has six floors, is a reinforced concrete structure, and its exterior is relatively intact.
However, this is probably not a newly built building, but rather an older building.
Perhaps it wasn't demolished when the safe zone was established, and was hastily modified for continued use.
The time humanity has to react to the impending apocalypse is far too short.
The building also bears eight large red characters: "Life and death, defending the border with our lives."
Xu Si could see humanity's perseverance and helplessness in it.
These survival bases once sprang up almost overnight, and collapsed just as quickly.
Humanity has proven this with bloody reality.
Gatherings have an unparalleled attraction to the eerie.
Xu Si felt indescribably heavy-hearted.
Back then, tickets to the survival base were almost never open to ordinary people, and Xu Si didn't even have the chance to come into contact with it.
Now he can't say whether he feels bitter or fortunate.
The main door on the first floor was wide open, with shattered glass scattered all over the floor, its edges covered in a thick layer of dust.
Xu Si did not rush to enter; Xingmai first ventured into the building's interior.
The first floor is the lobby and reception area, and the walls are covered with pre-apocalyptic propaganda posters with the words "Building a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind" prominently displayed.
The area behind the reception desk was empty, and all the monitors were set to silent.
Second floor, third floor, fourth floor...
There were no signs of life, no energy fluctuations, and not even any strange traces left behind in the entire building.
The building is filled with various sealed filing cabinets.
The sixth floor appears to be entirely composed of storage devices from before the apocalypse.
Xu Si seemed to have a guess in his mind.
This is a legacy preserved by the entire human civilization.
No wonder there are no signs of life here!
This is not a place for survival, but a graveyard for civilization.
Knowing what was inside the building, Xu Si did not enter, but slowly retreated.
The filing cabinet may contain the knowledge structure of the entire society, which must be an inexhaustible treasure.
But for the current team, these are useless.
If this building is a cultural heritage site sealed by the government, then what is sealed inside these domes?
……
"Boom!" Just as Xu Si was pondering.
Not far away, a huge roar resounded, and Xu Si had an ominous premonition.
He took to the air and headed towards the direction where Tashan and the others were.
Sure enough, Su Su punched a hole several meters square in the huge domed building.
The most direct method is also the most efficient method.
However, Xu Si did not hear Ta Shan's excited voice, so it was not supplies.
Xu Si's figure cut through the halo of the blood-red afternoon sun and landed in front of the domed building that had been blasted open.
The massive body of Tashan was peering into the hole, its six tentacles flailing unconsciously, seemingly unsure of how to react.
Su Su stood to the side, her golden eyes peering through the hole into the room, her expression unusually solemn.
Jiang Li's complexion was also not good.
"What's wrong?" Xu Si landed and glanced at the three of them.
Tashan turned around, his honest face filled with disbelief: "The knife... come and see for yourself."
Xu Si stepped forward, his star-like eyes piercing through the dim light projected from the hole in the dome, allowing him to see the scene inside.
For a moment, his pupils contracted slightly.
Inside the enormous dome are rows of neatly arranged transparent capsules, like hibernation pods from a science fiction movie.
In each capsule lay a person—all young men and women, dressed in matching white jumpsuits, their eyes closed, their faces serene.
Frozen people.
It's not a corpse, it's a frozen person.
The surface of the hull was covered with a thin layer of frost, and faint fog could be seen circulating inside, sustaining the faint signs of life in these bodies.
"Alive." Jiang Li's voice came from behind, carrying an indescribable sorrow.
Xu Si did not move, and the star vein probed into the interior of the dome.
Rows of cryogenic chambers stretched to the horizon; a rough estimate puts at least three hundred of them.
Three hundred sleeping lives.
Three hundred souls awaiting awakening, yet unsure if they will ever live to see that day.
"This is fucking..." Tashan scratched his head, and his huge body began to slowly shrink back to its normal size.
He stood at the edge of the hole, looking at the sleeping people, his expression indescribably complex.
Xu Si stood at the edge of the hole, his gaze sweeping over the rows of neatly arranged cryogenic chambers.
Three hundred lives?
No, there is more than one dome here.
He looked up at the scattered white domes in the distance, at least a hundred of them.
If every seat were filled with people...
"Thirty thousand," Jiang Li said softly, clearly having thought of the same question.
Thirty thousand sleeping lives.
Xu Si stepped into the interior of the dome, his footsteps echoing in the empty space, creating a faint echo.
A thin layer of frost covered the glass of the cryo-chamber, through which one could see the sleeping face inside—young, innocent, and peaceful, as if having a dream from which one would never wake.
Xu Si stopped in front of a cryogenic chamber and raised his hand to wipe the frost off the glass.
Inside the cabin was a girl who looked to be no more than twenty years old, with short hair and a hint of naivety in her eyes.
She was wearing a white jumpsuit with the number SG-0274 embroidered on her chest.
