Chapter 525 [Chapter Hidden in the Abyss] Sixty-Nine: The Remaining Fire

The fighting in the dark lasted for unknown lengths of time.

The injuries suffered by Daxor made his transformation into a zombie more serious. As his transformation into a zombie became more serious, his desire for souls became stronger and stronger. Finally, after a battle, he started eating.

The broken soul satisfied the hunger in his heart, but it was not enough to relieve his transformation into a living corpse. The following battles made him lose his humanity bit by bit until it was completely irreversible.

Several powerful experiments escaped, and most of the remaining ones were left in the laboratory by Daxor. He did not "want" to keep these poor guys, but just wanted to prevent them from moving out of instinct -

—

His instinct is that they will destroy [the rift].

But the [Crack] had already collapsed, leaving only the dilapidated [Door Frame] caused by the collapse.

After an unknown amount of time, human voices finally came from the dark underground.

"We haven't reached the depths of the waste abyss yet. Why did we leave the laboratory here? The people at the University of Michigan Research Institute are too unreliable." (Chapter 433: The Past in the Center of the Earth)

"..."

Chen Yan once heard Spherical Tunguska describe these words. According to Spherical Tunguska at that time, this was the conversation between Cyborg Quinn and Big Dog when they found the ruins of the laboratory many years later.

Different from the description of the spherical Tunguska, Chen Yan heard more detailed content from the synaesthesia of Daxor:

"It's probably not very safe here. The experimental products in the laboratory of the University of Michigan Research Institute are probably not dead yet. Some of them have very high levels of malignant mutations, which we can't handle."

"This is going to be difficult. According to the last detection result of the Frontline Investigation Department, the fluctuations of [The Fissure] emanated from this location. Before we came here, we thought it was Mida who was up to something again. Who knew it was still this laboratory?

.”

"Well... that is to say, the [rift] back then was not completely destroyed."

"That's the [Transcendence Gate]. It's only normal if it's not completely destroyed. However... what the Frontline Investigation Section detects is just 'fluctuation'. Do you understand 'fluctuation'?"

‘Fluctuation’ means ‘traces’ – what they detected may be just a tiny trace of the space fluctuations after the [Transcendence Gate] was destroyed, not the portal itself.”

"I see...Boss, do we want to go in?"

"You dare?"

"Don't dare..."

"I don't dare either. What if I guess wrong? So we don't go in and find a way to seal the crack...or destroy it."

"ah!?"

"The reason why Mi Da dropped [the fissure] at this location was because, according to the situation at the time, this depth was the safest and the most reasonable location where it would not sink into the [wilderness] or be discovered by other forces on the surface.

.(Chapter 433: The Past in the Center of the Earth)

Then, we will change the location of this laboratory - we will make the laboratory sink deeper. In this way, perhaps the laboratory will sink into the [wilderness].

We push the laboratory down and push it into the depths of the waste abyss - even if the laboratory fails to settle into the [wilderness], other forces will not take advantage of it!"

…

The conversation that followed was similar to what Spherical Tunguska had originally described.

In Daxo's field of vision, after the conversation between the two ended, the entire laboratory was moved.

How did Cyborg Quinn and Big Dog have such great strength? Is it because they borrowed some kind of tool?

This issue is currently unknown.

Chen Yan only saw that when the push started, Daxor's figure appeared in front of the console where the [rift] was, pulling the control lever activated by Joseph Lagrange.

He seemed to feel a sense of crisis and that his mission was being threatened.

The control lever of the console was pulled, but quickly bounced back.

Nothing happened.

Chen Yan understood that Daxo was just relying on the pitiful memory left in his mind to make mechanical movements.

He may know that this action means "stabilizing the rift" and that the stability of the [rift] means that his companions can return safely, but he who has completely lost his mind must not know that the experiment has failed and the [rift] has collapsed.

Now there are only weak "fluctuations" left.

The weightlessness caused his body to hit the ceiling of the laboratory, and the broken steel bars penetrated his body. Fortunately, he could not feel the pain as he had turned into a living corpse.

At this time, the laboratory has begun to shake - it is about to be pushed into the abyss!

Daxor fell to the floor, then stood up stiffly, struggled to the experimental table, and started trying again.

He pulled the control lever over and over again, failing over and over again. He tried this meaningless action countless times.

There was not much time left for him. The shaking in the laboratory became more violent in just half a minute, and a fall would occur soon!

He gave up this meaningless behavior.

His unconscious and rigid brain seemed to realize that the [rift] no longer existed and his classmates could not come back.

He seemed to be in pain, hammering his ragged chest over and over again, but how could a living corpse feel pain?

Suddenly, the black opal ring on the knuckles of his fist collided with the cracked flesh on his chest, and a tiny spark burst out that was almost invisible.

At the moment when the sparks appeared, the space on the experimental table in front of Daxo seemed to be weakly "distorted" for a moment.

He didn't notice this "distortion" at all, but just beat his chest.

The black opal ring kept hitting his chest, and bigger sparks appeared. Until a moment later, the sparks finally ignited his chest——

A fire lit up in his chest.

The flames began to spread along his broken body until it enveloped his entire body, making him the only light in the darkness.

He held his broken body and walked tremblingly towards the experimental table.

It was also at this time that a feeling of weightlessness suddenly came without any warning - the laboratory was pushed down!

The weightlessness caused Daxo's body to hit the ceiling, and the weak flames that were extinguished escaped from Daxo's body, falling on the experimental platform where the [Crack] was, igniting the metal used as the [Door Frame].

.

The [Door Frame] is already dilapidated and is not enough to maintain the existence of the [Crack], but the little bit of "breath" of the [Crack] that still exists still works under the "charge" of the flame!

The space was distorted, and the energy in the [Door Frame] reached an "excited state" sufficient to open the "Gate of Transcendence" at this moment, and the [Crack] was activated again at this moment!

A moment later, a beam of light shone in from the laboratory skylight——

Chen Yan looked out along the halo of light and saw outside the sky window the [Fungi City], which was already made of steel and had risen from the ground like a rebirth from the ruins!

There is always a morbid beauty in the sky covered by dense dark brown clouds in the world of natural disasters. The various garbage in the clouds are obviously dirty and filthy, but they also appear unsightly under the dim light shining through the clouds.

Not so ugly anymore.

Behind the clouds, the shadow of the giant object flashed continuously, the halo was scattered, and the fungus city on the ground switched between darkness and light, as if it was disappearing and appearing on the earth.

Synesthesia ended in this scattered light and shadow.

'This is why the laboratory crashed in Germ City.'

Chen Yan looked at the ruins of the laboratory in front of him and discovered a serious conflict between reality and the events in synaesthesia——

The flames burning on Daxor's body back then could only support the [Crack] to reach the excited state in an instant.

The fact that Chen Yan and his party were able to enter the current Fungus City and pass through the "water curtain"-like [Crack] to enter the Fungus City in the natural disaster world shows that the [Crack] is open underground.

This shows that after all the events that year ended, there was someone else who opened the [rift] later.
