journal:

April 2050... I can't remember exactly what day it is now, the sense of seasons is also confused, and the time of day and night has become very strange.

I experienced a battle, just early this morning... The opponents were a group of mutant wild dogs, with terrifying and ferocious appearances. Their tough skin gave them a defense that was almost able to withstand bullets. This is just an exaggeration, but

It is uncertain whether the defense of mutant wild dogs will be further strengthened in the future.

The result was that I won. The process was not difficult, but I also paid a small price. The detector was damaged and I had to go back to the research center to find Dr. Isali to replace the detector so that I could continue working.

Following the route I took before, I walked through the darkened streets. In this cold and dark environment, the sounds I occasionally heard became eerie and permeable.

I mustered up the courage to continue moving forward, but my nerves were being tested all the time. I always felt that there was something dangerous and scary hiding in the corner of the street or the next corner. I knew this was just an illusion, but I was just afraid of what might happen.

Passing by the place where we were attacked before, no one was there anymore. The three survivors probably left here, but I don't know where they went, but this is not what I should consider.

I didn't stop and continued walking in the direction of the Ecological Research Center, passing through deserted streets one after another.

At 7:45, after rushing without stopping at all, I finally returned to the vicinity of the Ecological Research Center without spending too much time. The familiar building and the large botanical garden behind it.

I can finally feel at ease here for a while, at least I'm safe here and there are people around.

I came to the door of the research center. The door was locked. The corpses and bloodstains around it had been cleaned up. The iron mesh and fences had also been reinforced. It seemed that a lot of effort had been spent.

I stood in front of the door and waited, and saw the camera slowly turning this way, and then the door opened automatically after a while.

Walking into the research center, the appearance inside was very different from the first time I saw it. It became very clean. There were no corpses and blood splashed on the walls. The smell of blood also disappeared, and you could even smell it.

There is a faint smell of air freshener.

Cleaners mopped the floors in the corridors, and security guards patrolled the corridors dutifully.

Occasionally when I pass by researchers passing by, they will say hello to me:

"Good morning, Mr. Momonga."

Or:

"Good morning Mr. Momonga, Dr. Isally is waiting for you in the underground laboratory."

I'm not good at communicating with people, but since everyone greets me politely, I at least nod my head out of politeness.

Along the way, all the places were tidy and spotless. Even the laboratory where I fought the monsters before was no longer as messy and dirty as before. All the instruments were placed in their original positions, and the floor was wiped clean.

Cheng Liang didn't know where the monster's body was.

I found the switch leading to the underground laboratory according to the impression in my memory, and then entered the password. Fortunately, the password was not changed, and I did not forget that the hidden elevator door opened.

Just like last time, we took the elevator to the underground laboratory.

I didn't deliberately hide my footsteps, and the people in the underground laboratory quickly discovered me.

I looked around, and no matter how many times I looked, I always felt that the atmosphere here was very strange. In the transparent culture tanks, strange biological samples were soaked in light yellow liquid. There was something strange in the air, although it was not pungent.

The whiteboard in the center of the laboratory was full of information and formulas that were completely incomprehensible.

"Mr. Momonga! You're here!"

A cute little blond girl in a white coat jumped up to me. It was Dr. Isally.

"Hello, Dr. Isally."

I nodded and said, with an inexplicable feeling of dissonance in my heart. The other researchers were fine, but it was strange for such a cute little girl to stay in a place like this. Maybe the park outside would be more suitable for her.

But since this is Dr. Isali's hobby, she can't say anything, and it's not safe outside now.

"Mr. Momonga is here to get a replacement detector. Come with me. The results of the previous analysis have also come out."

Dr. Isally took me to a large screen, and all kinds of data and pictures were dazzlingly displayed on the screen.

"A preliminary conclusion has been tentatively drawn from the received data. These sudden high-energy zones are singular points formed after the precipitation of special energy radiation. They have different shapes and dissipate extremely slowly. If a singular point is allowed to

It may take hundreds of years for them to disappear naturally. According to their energy radiation form, calculated according to Harrov energy theory and Therem's formula, a special substance should be formed near the singular point. This substance should be formed due to its special

The energy wavelength of the energy is invisible to human eyes, but interference through another wavelength can allow it to be captured by human eyes. I have installed this latest function on your detector, Mr. Flying Squirrel, and the next step is

Please, Mr. Momonga."

Isalie said a lot, and then handed the detector to me.

I took the detector and nodded. In fact, I couldn't understand the scientific terms and calculation formulas on the big screen at all, and I didn't know what the theories were. Is this the world of scientists? It's so fucking profound, but fortunately it is

I basically understood what little Dr. Isally said.

"this is for you."

I suddenly remembered that I had something to give to little Dr. Isally, so I took out a small sealed bag from my backpack and handed it to Dr. Isally.

"Is this what it is?"

Little Dr. Isally's eyes were bright and she seemed to have guessed what was inside.

"That's right, it's a tissue sample from a mutant creature."

I nodded and said that it was impossible to bring back the whole body. After all, the journey was too far, and the strong smell of blood might attract strange things, so the bag contained eyeballs, teeth, and some fur, as well as

It is unspeakable, what little Dr. Isally requested, the male mutant creature's... reproductive organs.

"That's great! Thank you, Mr. Momonga! I'm going to show it to Sister Ai Ge. Sister Ai Ge is an expert in this field! Mr. Momonga, come with me!"

Little Dr. Isally happily took the bag, pulled up my sleeves, and dragged me into a research room, just like a cute little girl who received her favorite gift on her birthday. Although she was indeed a cute little girl, so if

It would be better if the things you like are not this weird and weird.

When I came to the research room, I saw a woman with short brown hair with a bandage on her thigh. I recognized her. She was one of the female researchers who was attacked by mutant zombies when I came here last time. I remember that her injuries were still very serious at the time.

It was serious and his face was very pale, but now he seems to be much better. The bandaged wound no longer bleeds, and his face has regained its color.

"Hello, Dr. Aige, how is your injury?"

I said, as for the title, who cares, anyway, researchers are called doctors, this is to build a good relationship with scientists, and also to make a better impression on them, and as a person who is at the forefront of human progress.

Scientists cannot ignore their physical condition. Only when you are healthy can you have capital.

"Thank you for your concern. It's no longer a serious problem, thanks to the latest set of smart medical facilities that Dr. Isally added."

Dr. Aige looked a little surprised at my greeting. She answered my questions truthfully and made no secret of her gratitude to little Isally. Little Isally proudly puffed up her small breasts.

The latest medical facilities. It seems that although the cost is a bit high, it is indeed spent on useful places. In view of the current situation of this city, complete medical equipment is essential, because the hospitals here have stopped operating.

, the doctor has also left this place long ago. If someone in the research center is injured or sick, the problem will be very serious, and the worst result is death.

"Are these samples of mutant creatures? Thank you very much for your support of our research. Thank you for the hard work of hunting."

Dr. Aige didn't mind being dirty at all. He put on gloves and took out the eyeballs, teeth, genitals, etc. of the mutant creatures in the bag, and put them all into a small pool filled with strange transparent liquid.

"Why don't you get out of here?"

I suddenly asked, this question has been bothering me. Most people fled the city, and only a few people stayed, like the three robbers I met before, the survivors who were searching for supplies in the mall, and

The group of scientists in front of me.

I don't understand why they want to stay. It's too dangerous here, especially for children like little Dr. Isally. She should be living in a carefree environment, not in this dangerous fall.

In the city, where is her family? Aren't they worried about her?

"There are too many important materials and data in this research center, and there are many things that cannot be taken away. It cannot be discarded so simply. And we are not leaving here because it is not necessary."

Dr. Aige said while working.

"How to say?"

I understood what Dr. Ai Ge said before, but the last sentence made me confused again.

"Because grandpa told us that military uncles will soon come to destroy the monsters and take back the city, and it is very safe here, so we don't have to leave with them."

Dr. Isally Jr. answered on behalf of Dr. Aige.

In this way, this city will be recaptured soon. If the food reserves are enough, for Dr. Isally, except that she cannot go out, her life will be the same as usual. She can just wait for the army to move safely.

.

But what happened to the survivors? Did they also know the news, so they didn't leave here? No, if that's the case, there should be no robbers trying to rob me. Even if this city is dangerous, there should be enough

supplies to enable them to survive.

The only possibility is that food and water have been collected artificially. If a large enough survivor organization appears and has weapons, it is indeed possible to monopolize materials, but that is equivalent to depriving other people of their ability to survive.

Opportunity is no different from a gang of villains.

Now this city is a lawless place, and anything can happen. I can't help but worry about little Dr. Isally.

"Dr. Isali, mark my words, if any other survivors come here, please be vigilant."

I reminded.

Little Dr. Isally looked confused, but nodded. That's right, after all, she was still young, but Dr. Aige should have understood what I wanted to express. This is all I can do now.

I hope all my thoughts are unfounded.

Without disturbing them any more and concentrating on their work, I left the research center with the detector equipped with new functions and prepared to go to the next place.

It was very close to a shopping mall, and I didn't have much food and water left with me, so I decided to go to the shopping mall before going to my destination, hoping that there would be food there.
