Chapter 437

~4 min read 776 words

He looked at the fully armed agents; they were all familiar faces, and while he felt relieved, there was also a trace of sadness.

But the latter quickly disappeared.

He reported:

"Command, Agent Luo Yi and the others have arrived... a total of twelve people."

Command:

"Confirmed, Mobile Task Force Epsilon-13 'Manifest Destiny,' a total of 16 people have entered 'Containment-2935'."

"Now updating mission—Agent Juno, with the sixteen-man team led by Agent Luo Yi, requisition available vehicles within 'Containment-2935,' enter Site-81, retrieve the Foundation server data within, and establish an outpost camp there."

"Understood."

Captain Luo Yi, standing in front of the cave, also responded simultaneously.

As the words fell, Luo Yi ran quickly to Juno and tapped the latter's chest lightly with his fist:

".. Long time no see, my friend."

Captain Juno smiled:

"It's only been the distance of a world, it's nothing."

"How's the situation? This place makes me feel very uncomfortable."

Captain Luo Yi looked around and frowned slightly.

His right hand was always resting on the rifle trigger; if there was a situation, he could react at any time.

"Although Command has already explained the general situation, I think it's better to hear the opinions of you people who are directly involved."

"Of course." Captain Juno exhaled lightly and began to introduce:

"In short, this world is likely thoroughly dead; the date of death is April 19, 20█, detailed time unknown. The findings during the exploration process are as follows."

"First..."

A gust of wind poured into the cave, howling with an ominous sound, seemingly originating from a nightmare capable of devouring all living beings.

And the specific scene of this nightmare land also slowly unfolded with Captain Juno's narration, allowing these people who had just entered to better understand the current situation.

Juno spoke in a calm and steady tone, without any personal judgment or emotion, and with the possibilities speculated based on known manifestations, he laid it all out for the supporters.

Finally, only the shrill sound of the wind remained here.

After a moment, Captain Luo Yi sighed, his face full of worry:

"If I hadn't known this in advance, I probably would have thought you licked a toad with hallucinogenic effects..."

"Yes, this place is just that hellish—hiss!"

Captain Juno said slowly, subconsciously taking a puff of his cigarette, but his finger was suddenly burned; it turned out the cigarette was only a butt left.

He threw the butt away and continued:

"In over an hour, we haven't been able to find anything, let alone figure out what made us see ghosts."

Captain Luo Yi patted Juno on the shoulder, comforting him:

"Alright, let's not talk about this for now, let's finish the work quickly and run back from this damn world."

Regarding this remark, Captain Juno did not voice his worst guess—

Even if what he guessed was the truth, what could he do?

It would only add to the trouble.

Subsequently, they "requisitioned" civilian vehicles from the surroundings, prepared enough fuel, and headed south all the way to Site-81.

Juno and his four rode in one car, while Luo Yi and his twelve sat in three cars.

The road was very spacious, with only a few cars parked on the side of the road, the passengers and drivers inside "sleeping" soundly.

Continuing forward.

They saw three crashed passenger planes, and the woods near the wreckage had turned into charcoal.

Inspection of the impact site revealed the same situation: all residents seemed to have lost consciousness simultaneously.

Captain Luo Yi turned his head slightly, moved his gaze away from the remains of the victims, and looked at Captain Juno:

"It's just like the apocalypse... no, this is the apocalypse."

"It should be that everyone lost consciousness at the same time."

Devonshire successfully unlocked a man's mobile phone and let out a bizarre laugh.

Before anyone could ask, he showed the content on the screen to the two team leaders.

There were actually new tweets!

The two had just started thinking about how to ensure the safety of survivors, gain their trust, and talk to them.

When they heard Devonshire joke:

"Speaking of which, it's too shameful; what's continuing human civilization isn't the children of man, nor the chosen ones, or superheroes, but AI."

He casually clicked on an account, only to see that the long and short tweets inside almost all used the same template.

Reading closely, one could even find serious logical errors and semantic repetitions between sentences.

Captain Luo Yi patted his tactical vest and said concisely:

"Let's go, to Site-81."

"Let's go see the 'us' of this world." ===== CHAPTER 439 =====
