Erosion

Have you ever seen the moon at the end of the world? It hangs cold and high in the sky, like an eye from another world watching indifferently.

"The weather is going to change... is it going to rain heavily?" Zhao Ying still couldn't sleep. She saw the gray outside through the window and shivered subconsciously.In the past, when there were weather forecasts, a cloudy day like this would usually indicate a heavy rainstorm the next day.

Jiang Shan's left shoulder and temple were constantly in pain. These granules seemed to extend into her nerves, stirring and tearing constantly, making her want to cry out in pain.

From the perspective of human history, humans are a race that never admits defeat, but how much of this is due to human arrogance and self-confidence.

All this is to cover up that human beings are actually very fragile and vulnerable.

From a physiological point of view, human beings are not as strong as the dinosaurs that were once mass extinct. From an intellectual point of view, human beings only have a history of a few thousand years, and they are nothing in the vast history of the universe of hundreds of millions of years.

Such a young and fragile race thinks that they are the master of the universe and the god of nature.

Zhao Ying turned over and couldn't sleep. "Ashan, I'm really scared." She said softly.

She knew Jiang Shan could hear it.Maybe I don't know what I'm afraid of specifically, but it's just a feeling of fear surrounding me and falling into an abyss.

Jiang Shan looked at the ceiling, where a small piece had been eroded away, as if history was repeating itself at the fastest speed. She said in a strange way: "I'm afraid too, Zhao Ying, fear is perhaps the emotion we should have most." .”

Fear is the most primitive emotion of all intelligent creatures.

Having this kind of emotion means that you are still...a human being.

Although Zhao Ying couldn't hear Jiang Shan's reply, she seemed to feel a kind of empathy. Gradually she could close her eyes, and then slowly, her breathing fell into a steady sleep.

"Then Baimao arrested all the security personnel," Zhang Zhengbao inquired the next day and brought new news. "If anyone doesn't tell, he will be thrown into the corrosion reactor." This is simply outrageous.

The erosion reactor is a place where the base handles erosion materials. A very deep pit is dug, and all erosion objects and materials are thrown into the pit, and then filled with physical means.

It can be said that how primitive it is, how inhumane it is.

"No one cares?" Zhao Yingguang was about to burst into tears. Is this still a civilized society?
The people at the base were so frightened that they couldn't sleep for three days just hearing about this landfill hole.

Gao Wenwu said coldly: "Who cares? Who else can care?"

The whole thing now feels like a giant obedience test.

Zhang Zheng couldn't help but look at Wei Yuan: "Old Wei, don't you think of a way to do this?"

Wei Yuan remained silent.

Wei Yuan could not do anything in the face of the general situation. A bottomless pit could bury everything known and unknown.

At that time, the base had no choice but to do this. I am afraid no one expected that one day this pit would really turn into an abyss.

Jiang Shan was sitting in the corner wrapped in a blanket. She had been feeling hot and cold recently, as if there were two poles of ice and fire in her body that were constantly alternating. She had almost turned into an Arctic grilled catfish.

Zhao Ying handed her the only remaining bottle of water.Jiang Shan took a look and shook his head.

"The base did not distribute food this morning, which is not a good signal anyway." Zhao Ying said worriedly.

Suddenly, the door of the church was knocked violently. The noise was quite large, and it sounded like something evil. "Is Dr. Wei here?" The person outside the door actually asked.

Wei Yuan stared at the door: "Who?"

The voice outside the door said calmly: "Dr. Wei, please go to the interrogation room."

trial room?Several people were shocked.

Wei Yuan tightened his grip on the armrests of his wheelchair and said slowly, "What do you mean?"

The person outside the door continued: "There is a security guard hired. Dr. Wei may be interested in what he said." So the silver-haired man called someone to invite Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan lowered his eyebrows and said, "Just ask me to go?"

The outsider quickly said: "Yes, no one else will be implicated. Please rest assured, Dr. Wei."

What kind of tricks does this silver-haired man do? He was just pointed at by Wei Yuan with a gun. What role will he play now?

And he just said that a security guard was hired.Recruited?

Wei Yuan turned the wheelchair and held the pistol in the blanket: "...Okay."

"Old Wei!" Zhang Zheng said, "Don't pay attention to that pervert." At this time, asking Wei Yuan to make it clear that he had no good intentions.

Wei Yuandao: "I have a sense of discretion. You stay here and don't go anywhere. Close the door."

Gao Wenwu immediately said: "I'll go too."

Unexpectedly, the man outside the door heard him and said rudely: "Only Dr. Wei is invited."

Wei Yuan glanced at Gao Wenwu and turned his wheelchair to the door.

The silver-haired man was blowing a cup of steaming water in the interrogation room. When he saw Wei Yuan coming over, he smiled slightly: "Thank you Dr. Wei for the compliment."

Wei Yuan saw a person sitting in the glass room. The person was trembling all over, with big beads of sweat falling down his face.

"I was forced too, you believe me, trust me."

The silver-haired man put down his cup and enthusiastically called Wei Yuan to sit over, "This man just said a lot of interesting things. I think you, Dr. Wei, will be very interested."

Wei Yuan already knew how perverted the silver-haired man was, so he didn't react much to what he said. The fact that he was able to find the mole in such a short period of time showed that everyone in the base was resigned to his actions. Default attitude.

The silver-haired man looked at Wei Yuan's hand still on the blanket, and couldn't help but have a meaningful look in his eyes, "By the way, Dr. Wei, let me show you the new good things I got in the past two days."

The silver-haired man placed something on the table, then looked at Wei Yuan and smiled.

It was an AK47. The body and caliber of the gun were all the same as the small revolver that crushed Wei Yuan. A crazy person like the silver-haired man paired with such a weapon was like a devil who had obtained the trident, which made him feel cold.

The silver-haired man stroked the body of the gun, then suddenly raised it and pointed it at the security guard inside through the glass.

"What's your name? Tell me."

The security guard was already in a frightened state. He almost lost control when he saw this, and his words were leaking out: "My name is Qi Qi, Tian Lei..."

The silver-haired man smiled, "Say what you just said to Dr. Wei again."

Security guard Qi Tianlei, his humerus trembling, his face ashen, "I, I work for a bond company... Three months before the erosion incident, our system was suddenly attacked, and I, I received an email."

"The content of the email is a countdown..."

There is nothing but an inexplicable countdown.Qi Tianlei naturally thought it was a virus email and didn't pay attention.

But the countdown has been hanging above Qi Tianlei's computer since that day. He used anti-virus software and engineers to repair it, and even reinstalling the system later didn't work.

And this countdown will not be displayed at all when others are staring at the computer.

In other words, this countdown will only be displayed when Qi Tianlei is sitting alone in front of the computer.

As time passed, the results became obvious. People in the company thought Qi Tianlei had a mental problem.

Until there are only ten days left in the countdown.

"I received another email." Qi Tianlei trembled.

The content of this email directly told Qi Tianlei that everything would be over in ten days.The end of eternity.

"I thought I was being targeted by some X cult..." The frightened Qi Tianlei directly asked the company for half a month's leave and went home to live.

Why do you ask for half a month? Because there is a ten-day period.

Qi Tianlei wanted to wait until the countdown day arrived. He wanted to know whether this was a prank or something else.If it's a prank, of course everything is fine.

On the last day, Qi Tianlei huddled in a rental house in the Fifth Ring Road, staring at the countdown on the computer.

Finally the countdown turned to seconds.

10, 9, 8,... Qi Tianlei stared at the screen until the countdown reached zero.
