Chapter 435 Brief History of the Underground (2)
"and after?"
"After 100 years of stability in the underground world, the rulers began to become bolder. They believed that as long as humans did not return to the surface and did not affect the development of the surface, there would be no more catastrophic butterfly effects.
On the other hand, pressure from the people also made it difficult for the rulers to sleep and eat. Finally, the rulers issued new policies to further explore the underground. Since then, the underground world has begun to develop endlessly."
The screen switched again. Countless humans drove one machine after another to wildly explore the underground. They also crushed and concentrated the excavated rocks to make strong new bricks, and used these new bricks to build houses and buildings.
, highways, etc.
"Hundreds of years later, humans have dug 20,000 meters underground. At this time, the number of humans has reached tens of billions, and the area of the underground world has increased dozens of times, and is even close to the surface area. Underground
The world is divided into 10 layers, with the lowest layer being 20,000 meters underground. But humans are still not satisfied, and greedy humans continue to dig deeper. In fact, the temperature below 20,000 meters underground is already very high, and the environment is difficult to transform. Humans can't do it without the help of tools.
Can't survive here."
"In other words, humans continue to dig when there is no longer any need to go down?" Tianpeng asked.
"That's right." A gem suddenly appeared in the elder's hand.
This is a golden gemstone that looks a bit like gold, but is more dazzling than gold.
"What kind of gem is this?" Xiao Jiang Wei knew clearly that it was a holographic image, but she couldn't help but raise her hand and touch it because she liked it so much.
"This is Jinlong gem, which is extracted from gold mines. Human beings discovered this mineral 20,000 meters underground. It has very magical power. Research shows that jewelry made of Jinlong gems can be worn by people for a long time.
If worn on the body, the wearer can prolong life. Many elderly people have lived to be 100 years old because of long-term wearing of this gemstone. For a time, the value of Jinlong gemstones continued to increase, becoming a fetish sought after by everyone. In order to get more gemstones
, human beings are digging into the ground like crazy, and they keep digging, but they don’t know how deep they go, and disaster strikes.”
"Disaster? Could it be..." Tianpeng suddenly understood something.
"Is the apocalypse breaking out?" Li Ming also guessed.
"More or less, somewhere deep underground, there are super bacteria living there, and the demon virus is parasitic in the bacteria. Human beings are too greedy, and they accidentally released those super bacteria when mining ore. Those bacteria were the first to be infected
After killing the miners, most of the miners' brains were eroded, lost their memory and consciousness, and began to eat any edible food, including humans. Humans who were bitten would be infected and mutated into those crazy creatures within a few minutes.
People, we call them Kil, you land people are used to calling them zombies."
"I never expected that this is the origin of the apocalyptic virus." Jiang Hao was shocked.
"But why is there this kind of virus deep underground on the earth? Is it also present in the primitive universe?" Tianpeng asked.
"The underground of the primitive universe has also been explored, but only to obtain scarce metal resources, not to open up the underground world. At that time, humans had also been active below 20,000 meters underground, and no Jinlong ore was found."
"Is it the butterfly effect again?" Tianpeng said to himself.
"What happened next?" Jiang Hao continued to ask.
"Then the crisis spread, from the tenth floor underground to the first floor underground," the elder replied.
"Don't the underground people have very powerful tools? Why didn't they control the crisis?"
"Because the underground is a unified country, the rulers prohibit any civilian weapons in order to maintain their dominance. And because it has been very peaceful for hundreds of years, only some armed conflicts have occurred in small areas. Generally speaking, the weapons in the underground world have become
We are very far behind and cannot stop the crazy Kiel."
The screen jumped again, and everyone saw those Keel (zombies) attacking humans crazily, with blood splattering and flesh foam flying everywhere.
Ordinary people and the police have no decent weapons at all. They are like fish on a knife board, being brutally bitten by zombies. As for those armies, they have more powerful weapons than submachine guns and machine guns. An army of 1,000 people can easily kill dozens of people.
Thousands of zombies.
However, the army has too few weapons and few soldiers. The zombies rely solely on their numerical superiority and crazy energy to force the army back.
"But after all, the underground world is different from the land world. There are ten layers underground, and the number of connecting channels between each layer is limited, so the speed of Kiel's spread has been controlled. At the same time, humans in the first few layers underground began to rush to create
Weapons gradually controlled Kiel. But..."
"There is no way to control it, because air is also a transmission route," Jiang Hao said.
"Yes, no one thought that there were pathogenic bacteria in the air, especially 60 days after the crisis broke out. All the ordinary humans on the upper floors underground mutated and bit the people around them. In this way, the crisis swept across ruthlessly
The entire underground world."
"This situation is almost the same as on land, except that 30 days later, deadly bacteria swept the world," Jiang Hao said.
"The humans at the top were already panicking. They were clamoring and using tools to dig out passages and fled to the surface. But the rulers didn't want these viruses to spread to the surface, so they brainwashed the people and even suppressed the unrest."
"I didn't expect the rulers to be so aware?"
"You can't say that. After all, it is airborne. Once this channel is opened, super bacteria will definitely spread to the surface."
"What happened next? What happened to the humans in the underground world?" Tianpeng asked.
"Humanity is not extinct. All surviving humans have become new humans that have successfully evolved. Their combat effectiveness has been unprecedentedly enhanced, and they have established bases in various regions. Although the number of humans is only ten percent of the number of Kiel,
Less than one, but human beings have advanced wisdom, and some strong people stand out and become people's heroes. They lead humans to survive, become stronger, and fight back."
"This is similar to our world on the surface." Ni Lin said.
"Although human beings have survived, the originally unified underground world has become divided. Human beings are no longer united. They occupy land and become kings and support their own troops. As time goes by, various countries have formed in the underground world.
And it divides and rejoins, and rejoins and divides. Before you know it... 220,000 years have passed in the underground world... People nowadays call that crisis an apocalyptic judgment." The elder sighed.
"That is to say, the Apocalypse Judgment occurred less than 1,000 years after the establishment of the underground world. From then until now, 220,000 people have passed. It's terrible. This is 220,000 people. The history of civilization in the surface world is only five or six thousand years. This is
The gap is too big." Jiang Hao said with emotion.
Ni Lin felt very puzzled: "It's been 220,000 years, why doesn't your life seem to have changed much? And, have you really not thought about going to the surface?"
"You are right. 220,000 years is a long time. Human beings have long forgotten the butterfly effect. Countless people want to leave the underground and go to the surface. The surface world has become the longing of the underground people. They hope to see
The real blue sky, white clouds, and sea, not images simulated by electronic machines."
"But if you go to the surface, won't it trigger the end of the world?" Li Ming asked.
"Do you think this is the end of the world? The apocalyptic judgment has made all living things evolve, and human lifespan has become longer. This is the rebirth of all things. How can it be called the end of the world?"
"Hey, are you too selfish? Why don't you call it the end of the world? 90% of human beings will become zombies, and countless people die every day." Li Ming's temper grew a little.
The elder also felt Li Ming's anger and apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't think about it. From your point of view, it can indeed be called the end of the world."
"It's the end of the world from your point of view. We all watched the video just now. Those Geers were killing people crazily. There was blood and madness all over the ground." Li Ming continued.
"At that time, it was considered the end of the world. But people now only think that it was just a long period of history, and we are all grateful for the Apocalypse Judgment. It is precisely because of it that human beings have become extremely powerful, and their life spans have generally reached about 150 years.
Some can even reach over 200 years old..."
"You old man, are you the one who released the virus on the surface world now?" Li Ming suddenly became very excited.
Tianpeng immediately grabbed Li Ming and persuaded him: "Li Ming, calm down, we are on someone else's territory now."
"However, I suspect that they put the virus on the surface."
"Calm down, stop talking nonsense, please." Tianpeng tried his best to persuade Li Ming, because he had noticed that the elder's face had become ugly.
Although Li Ming is a very impulsive person, she also understands that she is in the underground world now and cannot act recklessly, so she keeps taking deep breaths and forcing herself to calm down.
Not to mention Liming, Jiang Hao was also very moved. You must know that he lost his sister because of the outbreak of the apocalypse. However, Jiang Hao understood everyone's position, so he also began to persuade Liming: "Let's not get excited.
Let’s listen to what the elders say first.”
Jiang Hao then turned to the elder: "I'm sorry, we were a little excited just now. I hope you won't take it to heart."
The elder's originally bad expression gradually improved, and he said: "Actually, I can't blame you. After all, your surface world has just experienced a crisis. For us, that crisis has passed 220,000 years ago, and we can no longer understand your feelings.
My heart and feelings. I apologize to you for my careless words just now, but..."
The elder turned to Liming and said to Liming very seriously: "Please understand one thing, the virus on the surface has nothing to do with us. Because the rocks in the underground world began to change as early as 220,000 years ago, when the Day of Judgment broke out.
No tool can break rock."
