I became a member of the ancient gods

Chapter 223 Salvage Work
Lin Zhi carefully inspected the interior of the refuge cabin and found some hard packaging that seemed to contain food, as well as some that had been torn open and the contents no longer existed.

It was obvious that the food stored here had been disturbed. It was unlikely that those Abyss people were crowded into such a small refuge cabin for camping.

This is where they took refuge.

Yes, the Abyss civilization once suffered the apocalyptic disaster caused by the resurrection of the ancient gods. It was probably at that time that they entered the refuge cabin.

The various facilities placed here have obviously exceeded their survival limits.There are some mechanical devices and instruments that have long since been completely destroyed, occupying a lot of precious space.

No matter how you look at these instruments, they don't seem to be used to ensure survival. Lin finally couldn't help guessing the identities of the Abysses in the refuge cabin.

Researchers?Or a technician in some kind of industrial field?
When the apocalyptic disaster struck the Abyss ruins, they entered the refuge cabin. What happened next?
Lin Zhi quickly speculated on what happened to these Abyssians.

Their current bodies have not completely decayed, indicating that they turned into ghouls shortly after their death.

But if they stay in the refuge cabin, they should not be exposed to the black sun, and they have to be exposed to the black sun all the time in order to maintain the state of ghouls and keep their bodies in this half-dead state. Rotting, but showing no signs of life.

So it was the blood that turned them into corpses?
According to the information and map provided by Asha, this place was originally a part of the city like the ruins outside, and the lake did not exist at all—at least before the doomsday disaster came.

The refuge cabin clearly showed signs of impact damage, and it was probably the same cause of death for the Abyssin inside.

If this is an impact lake formed by the collision between the refuge cabin and the rock mass, the blood water was formed after the formation of the abyss and began to affect the corpses of these Abyss people, and the corpses of these Abyss people were still relatively intact at that time...

Based on all these speculations, the death time of these Abyssians may not be much earlier than the time when the abyss was formed, or even later.In other words, these Abyssians were still alive more than 20 years ago!
From this point of view, it is indeed unlikely that the Abyss came from ancient civilization.

Of course, there is also a possibility that the Abyss here spent tens of thousands of years in this refuge cabin through some kind of hibernation technology.

But this possibility is pitifully small. Judging from the traces of food consumption in the refuge cabin, they were active in the cabin before their death. Moreover, no hibernation device was found in the cabin. The only place where people can be accommodated here is a duplex with bunk beds. It's just a few hard beds fixed to the wall.

As for the reason why this refuge cabin hit the ground like a meteorite, if you think about it boldly, it may be because the space distortion caused by the awakening of the ancient gods moved the ancient ruins to high altitudes, but in comparison, this refuge cabin and the rock mass The possibility that they are all alien objects is definitely higher.

Everything found here can basically serve as strong evidence for Dr. Wade's theory of extraterrestrial civilization. The saints of the Enzi Society either made research errors or deliberately deceived him!

The Abyss civilization was an alien civilization that traveled through space and came to the earth through the power of ancient gods. At this moment, Lin Zhong basically believed in this idea.

The closer you get to the center of the abyss, the closer you get to the truth about the apocalypse.Today, Lin Zhong feels as if he has resumed his old profession as an abyss hunter, and this time his achievements are even more outstanding than those of his past self... no, even better than Asia, who is a hunter of the dawn.

He quickly began to search in the refuge cabin again. Apart from the Abyss who had turned into ghouls, there might be some clues that could be taken away here.

He did not bring any professional salvage equipment, so he could only take away something that could be moved. Just when he was about to complete the search, Fran, who realized his purpose, stopped him: "Lin Zhong, that!"

She raised her hand and pointed somewhere. Lin Zhong looked along and vaguely spotted something that looked like a square.

Lin Zhong was still carefully identifying it, but Fran had already stretched out his tentacles and pulled the thing over.

Lin finally checked it and immediately discovered that it was actually a suitcase - the body structure of the Abyss was similar to that of humans, and the various tools they used were basically the same.

The suitcase was extremely heavy. Even with the buoyancy bonus under his hands, Lin Zhong found it still a bit difficult to lift. If Fran hadn't had extraordinary strength far beyond ordinary people, it would not have been possible to pull the suitcase over so easily.

Moreover, Lin could finally feel that the suitcase was extremely strong. It probably belonged to the category of a safe and contained very important things.

It would be very difficult for them to carry this thing upstream. Fortunately, Lin Zhong still had the means to salvage it.

He untied the safety cable fixed on his belt, fastened the buckle directly to the portable part of the suitcase, and then tried to use the intercom built into the helmet to contact Wan Jin at the lakeside:
"Wan Jin, I have something to salvage, it's already tied to a rope, you can pull it up!"

Soon, Wan Jin's vague response came from the earphones: "Okay..."

The safety rope gradually tightened, and then the suitcase was quickly moved toward the outside. Wan Jin's two arms were running at full strength, and the efficiency was no less than a high-power motor.

"Let's go up too." Lin Zhong said to Fulan, adding, "Take all those corpses up."

"You dare to eat this?" Fran was a little surprised.

"Do I look like a person with such a curious taste?" Lin Zhong sighed, "Take it back to study!"

"Oh." Fran responded.

It didn't take them long to get ashore quickly. When they got out of the blood-red lake, Lin Zhong immediately felt the special energy brought by the blood subside from his body.

But he breathed a sigh of relief. Being exposed to the turbid red blood was too much of a mental pressure, even more so than the thick gray fog in the central area.

He turned his head and signaled Fran to throw an Abyss ghoul onto the shore first.

Fran understood, and controlled the upper body of the octopus monster to extend a tentacle out of the lake, and lifted up the captured corpse.

When he just emerged from the water, Lin Zhong clearly saw that the corpse was still struggling.

Just in the blink of an eye, the corpse's struggle became weaker and weaker, like the Tin Man whose battery was about to run out.When the tentacle threw the corpse to the shore like garbage, it was completely motionless and turned into a simple corpse.

"Isn't this a ghoul disease?" Axia, who often dealt with infected people, saw the symptoms at a glance, and then noticed the characteristics of the corpse and widened his eyes, "Eh!? Abyss?"
