Chapter 109 The Secret of the World 2
Ling Zihan has never felt as excited as he is now.He couldn't wait to ask: "What is blocking the sun?"

He has a feeling that this is probably the only chance to find out the secret as an ordinary person.

There are very few special institutions qualified to handle secrecy, and the United Doctors Association is one of them.

These things from Victoria's mouth are very real.

She didn't answer directly, but threw another question: "You should know what the 50-meter limit is?"

Ling Zihan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded lightly: "I know."

This is a law widely circulated in the underground world.

Note that these are rules, not laws.

All buildings cannot exceed nine storeys and cannot exceed 50 meters in height.

There were layers of crow's feet in the corners of Victoria's eyes. She picked up the coffee on the coffee table and took a sip. Her bright red lips matched her silver hair so harmoniously.

"War destroyed an era. At that time, there were many countries on the earth. Because of different interests, countries formed different alliances and entered a period of full-scale confrontation."

"I don't know if you have seen the old movie "Transformers". Although Megatron is the villain, I like this silicon-based life form with an all-metal structure. Especially its wise saying: The premise of peace is tyranny."

"No matter in any age, there are people who yearn for peace. They have indeed put in their heart and effort. However, not all hardships and toils are rewarded. Those who work for peace are finally disappointed. War is beyond their routine. The way the concept came suddenly..."

"Wait, wait a minute." Ling Zihan interrupted him.He asked suspiciously: "What does it mean to descend in a way beyond conventional concepts?"

Victoria holds the base of the coffee cup in both hands, and lays the tray flat on her left lap.She seemed a little nervous, and at the same time fell into deep thinking: "It's literally. Although I am a doctor, I am just an ordinary member of the Doctors United Association."

"Actually, my desire to discover secrets is stronger than yours. But I can only know so much with the authority. So... I need your help."

"This is something for later, we can discuss it slowly. What I want to tell you now is some secrets about this world, and it is a part that ordinary people will never be able to touch."

"Extraordinary concept, this is the original words in the confidential file, I have not changed a single word."

"The top-secret information does not describe in detail the course of the war, nor does it list what kind of alliance the opposing sides are, nor does it even have a detailed time."

"The focus is on the aftermath of the war."

"The moon was destroyed. It was blown to pieces and started a chain reaction on Earth, causing a series of catastrophes."

"However, more terrifying things are still going on. The moon did not break away from the earth's gravitational circle when it shattered. Under the strong rotation effect and driving force, the moon debris began to hit the earth."

"Although the two sides of the war at that time made an urgent decision to temporarily cease the war and launched the most technologically advanced weapons at that time to crush the large pieces of lunar debris from space, this resistance action did not have the expected effect. The densely packed rock fragments Still appearing in the sky, the atmosphere serves as the Earth's last protective barrier."

"The sky is full of bolides, which is also the original words in the top-secret information. Although humans have been digging underground shelters frantically since the moment the moon exploded, the time is too short to achieve sufficient depth and capacity."

"Nearly [-]% of the humans on Earth died from the impact of lunar debris, followed by more than two months of climate change, as well as varying degrees of volcanic eruptions and tsunamis. During this period, the surviving humans faced many difficulties. They While dealing with the disaster, we also have to face the plight of food shortages and drinking water pollution."

"Two billion victims, this is the final calculation figure calculated by the computer based on comprehensive factors such as the environment and weather at that time."

"It was an extremely terrifying end of the world. People who have not experienced it will never be able to imagine what a terrifying scene it is. The fireballs in the sky are all over the world, and the earth is constantly rotating, like an eternal spinning top , a large amount of foreign dust, rubbish debris, dry sundries... Some of them enter the top and settle down, and more of them form a new layer at a certain distance from the solid surface of the top due to the airflow and energy generated by the rotation of the top. .”

Having said that, Victoria raised her right hand and pointed to the ceiling: "Now the shelter above our heads comes from the moon debris."

Although she had guessed the truth from her narration, Ling Zihan was still extremely shocked by her final explanation.

"……Moon……"

"Aren't you joking?"

"A whole planet was blown to pieces, covering the surface of the earth, blocking the sun?"

Ling Zihan muttered to himself, his brain was under the impact of unprecedented powerful information.

Looking at him with a horrified face, Victoria gave a rare smile: "When I saw the top-secret file for the first time, my reaction was similar to yours now. This kind of secret is indeed shocking, but once you know it, it's just like that. Things. People have to eat when they are alive, and they have to continue to work hard to get more living materials. Compared with the daily food and water, even if we know that this world is controlled by demons, the earth will definitely encounter a crisis of destruction at some point in the future "Hehe, what else can it count?"

Ling Zihan quickly regained his composure.He nodded with emotion: "You are right. We are just ordinary people, not superheroes to save the world."

Victoria continued to laugh and said, "Actually, the formation process of the underground world is more complicated than we imagined. Why did the two sides in the war detonate the moon? What kind of weapon did they use to blow up such a huge planet? These two questions are still unclear to me. There is no way to find out."

"The process of the lunar debris forming a barrier over the earth is also very strange. According to records, large pieces of rock fragments arrived on the earth, began to accumulate on the top of the mountains, and then spread to the high-rise buildings in the city. This formed a frame support, and the stacking of small pieces of debris Under the action, they start to bond under the huge thermal energy effect, and finally form a large-area hollow barrier."

As she spoke, Victoria stretched out her hands. She clenched her right hand into a fist, spread her left hand flat, and placed her palm horizontally on top of her right fist.

Ling Zihan watched her series of actions in silence.

After a long time, he said slowly: "This is a bit unreasonable. The meteorites that fell to the earth from outer space, I mean, including the fragments after the explosion of the moon, regardless of the size of the block, in terms of speed alone, even extremely Small pieces can pack a big punch."

"These fragments hit the ground to form a huge impact energy, even the mountains can't bear it. As for the buildings in the city... the reinforced concrete used for construction cannot be compared with natural rocks. Their only end is to penetrate and shatter, And then collapse."

"If the top-secret information you have read describes the formation of the earth's barrier layer in this way, then this so-called information is probably false."

There was a hint of appreciation on Victoria's old face: "You are right. Everyone who has read the information, including me, thinks there is something wrong with this record. However, some things in this world are like this, and they know it is false. But you must remain silent."

Ling Zihan fiddled with his fingers and drew several circles back and forth on his right leg: "The so-called top-secret information should be true or false. The difference lies in the proportion of true and false content."

Victoria put away her smile, and her expression suddenly became a little dignified: "If... what I said is if, this is the truth, what would you think?"

Ling Zihan is very smart, he can understand why the other party asked this question after a little thought.He leaned back on the sofa, stared at the ceiling above his head, and said thoughtfully: "I have never tried to detect the sky. My subconscious mind tells me that this is an extremely crazy and extremely dangerous behavior."

"See the sky" is a common saying in the underground world.Its meaning refers specifically to all kinds of crazy actions beyond normal logic.

The most common saying: You madman, do you want to know the sky?
The underground world is lined with countless architectural ruins from the old days.

Many ruins are inhabited by people.

You can do anything in the ruins, including indescribable intimacy between men and women, shit and pee, and even knock on the building itself.

The key is to strictly abide by the "50-meter limit".

Buildings should not exceed nine floors, which is actually the second rule under the 50-meter limit.

If the height of the building is only half a meter, anyone can continue to build on this foundation.There is no problem with the tenth, twenty, or thirty floors.

Some of the ruins left over from the old times are as high as [-] meters.In the eyes of the residents of the underground world, these skeleton-shaped reinforced concrete buildings can be touched and entered, but they must not go straight up the stairs.

Once the limit of 50 meters is exceeded, various adverse reactions will occur in the body.

In mild cases, he was dizzy, and in severe cases, he died on the spot.

Above 50 meters there appears to be a frightening vacuum.

There is no oxygen, it is filled with all kinds of terrible poisons, and the radiation left by the war is particularly dense there. The legendary ghost gate... There are all kinds of theories, but no one has come up with really convincing scientific evidence.

"Seeking the sky" is tantamount to suicide.

Ling Zihan is a person who likes to think.He had imagined countless times what kind of evil existed in the sky, so that he was full of terrible malice towards the entire underground world.

Why can we only live in the dark depths forever?

Why can we never see the light?
Beyond this dark, damp, and shadowed depths, is there a brave new world like a peach blossom paradise?
"It's everyone's right to yearn for beauty. But why are we imprisoned in darkness forever?" This is the biggest question that has lingered in Ling Zihan's mind for a long time.

Victoria said seriously: "You just mentioned "imprisonment", which is a very appropriate word."

Ling Zihan turned back to his normal sitting position, staring at the opposite side: "You mean, I didn't say or guess wrong?"

"It can't be completely right, but at least some of your ideas are close to the facts." Victoria said frankly: "The generation and appearance of Chang in the underground world are divided into two elements: accidental and inevitable."

Ling Zihan felt more and more confused: "It must be?"

He bit these two words very hard.

"Yes, of course." Victoria raised her hand coquettishly and brushed her long silver hair behind her shoulders, but her obese figure and old face really reduced her points a lot.

"Let's talk about coincidence first! In fact, many insiders, including me, I mean people who have read the top-secret information, have been thinking about two things for a long time."

"What was the trigger for the outbreak of war in the old era?"

"What weapon is so powerful that it can destroy even the moon?"

"The next step is inevitable."

"In the old days, the total number of human beings exceeded 90 billion. Bolide explosions, subsequent climate change, and food shortages caused the total population to drop to about 20 billion. Many sci-fi movies often use "human extinction" as their selling point and theme , in fact, the survival ability of human beings is very strong, coupled with advanced technology and large-scale food production as the basis, from this point of view, the governments of various countries that have begun to dig underground shelters before the war have actually foreseen the war The destruction brought about, the necessary material reserves are prepared."

"In essence, man is a very selfish animal. What kind of morality and ethics are all produced under the condition of a third party watching. Why is there such a thing as father and daughter incest? It is precisely because the family has become A prison with a narrow space. My mother died early, and my relatives seldom communicate with each other. Behind closed doors, my father is the highest authority in the family. He does whatever he says, and the poor daughter can't resist."

"I've always felt that this example is the perfect way to describe the Earth's pattern after the bolide eruption."

"It was a very tragic period. The bones of the dead were everywhere in the hot ashes. Many shelters were so close to the surface that they were even separated from the ground by a metal cover. To put it bluntly, it was a basement. The shelters hidden there The victim was roasted alive at high temperature. By the time the rescuers dug the cover, the body of the deceased had already desiccated, showing a horrifying brown."

"The earth has become a huge hell... I don't know if there is a special area where the dead are in this world, but hell... As far as the materials and pictures I have seen are full of flames and gunpowder smoke , it seems that you can smell the extremely strong sulfur smell through the screen."

"Humans at that time had developed a fairly mature artificial intelligence system. All relevant information was recorded by the computer. It sent drones to take a large number of pictures and videos in various places, and at the same time automatically write text according to the logic that humans can understand. Reference."
