Chapter 872

Thinking of Tang Mi seen in the hallucination, and her parents waiting for her with open arms, Christina felt a chill.

"What about those who didn't die in the rain? Did they survive?"

"No."

"They died in the winter."

The air fell into silence again.

Christina opened her mouth to say "ah" and "um", but didn't say any complete sentences.

She seemed to have known how cruel this world was, but she always had a chance to hide from it before, hiding behind her parents, hiding behind Alice.

And this time, Alice pointed out the bloody facts and showed her the dissolving lives.

"…"

In the silence, the two bypassed the dangerous area and moved forward carefully.

"Will there be what you want in that tower?"

"Hope is not great, you can try."

Passing through a desolate and broken area, they finally arrived in front of the high tower.

This once majestic guardian now had traces of fire and explosions on its surface, as well as a large area of graffiti with unclear meaning.

Alice stared at the messy bricks and broken electronic components piled up in front of the tower, and then looked at the outline of the tower that was missing the upper part, roughly imagining what had happened here.

Looking around, everything was covered by ice and snow, so quiet that even time seemed to freeze here.

"Let's go, let's go in."

Entering the tower, its internal condition was equally worrying, things of value had been almost looted, and several ancient mummified corpses were lying on the dusty ground.

Alice walked in front, while Christina followed closely like a vigilant puppy, the beam of the flashlight swinging around, fearing that some dead person would suddenly stand up and invite her to join the apocalypse party.

When they arrived at a relatively complete floor, Alice stopped to examine the surroundings.

The entrance to the control room was hastily sealed with slanted faded warning tape and chains that were almost rusted away, clearly a defensive line set up by people in a hurry after the riot.

Is it mending the fold after the sheep is lost?

But the sheep are gone, is mending it for peace of mind?

Alice was a little puzzled in her heart. She pushed the door open, and a smell of mold, dampness, and dust rushed toward her.

It was clear that no one had been here for a long time.

She waved her hand to brush away this unpleasant smell and observed the internal situation with a flashlight.

The console and screen were covered with a thick layer of dust, some screens were broken, and there were traces of high-temperature ablation on the edges.

The situation was a little better than expected, but not much.

Alice walked straight to the central console, searched for a while, and finally found a port that had not been completely destroyed.

She took out her personal terminal and connected it.

A moment later, a slight mechanical operation sound began to ring in the room, a few remaining lights flickered and tried to light up, and the startup sequence began to flash on the screen.

Although most functions could no longer be used, the basic system diagnosis slowly unfolded, showing some basic information and log records.

Alice operated the terminal and found some useful information.

【Item Number: Anomaly-001】

【Item Level: Decommissioned】

【Special Containment Procedures:】

【In response to the anomalous nature of the project and the subsequent impact, the OTA001-'Black Hole Furnace' project has been enabled.】

【A 'Broken Mask' event is considered to have occurred, and exposure agreement 【data corrupted】 has been enabled.】

【【Data Corrupted】】

【【Data Corrupted】】

【【Data Corrupted】】

Christina leaned over and read the text in the terminal for a few times.

Very good, can't understand.

"Does it have any value?"

"…No." Alice shook her head.

She was not disappointed.

This is like rummaging through a garbage dump, only to find a piece of cake that looks like it has a few bites left.

Just this little bit of information has no valuable information.

To repair the damaged data, a non-professional like her would have to learn various computer hardware knowledge before she could gamble on the probability of successful repair.

This is not realistic.

"But this at least proves that I have the authority to access the data of the 'Black Hole Furnace'."

"Let's go." ===== CHAPTER 874 =====
