Chapter 165 The truth comes out
Not far from the entrance on the eighth floor, there is a three-story office.
Through the broken glass, Su Chen could see that there were no experimental instruments in the office.
It's more like an observation point used to monitor the experiment.
Perhaps we can find something of value inside.
Su Chen quickened his pace and climbed through the broken window.
There were also several zombies wearing white coats in the office.
They were wandering around when they spotted Su Chen and quickly pounced on him.
Su Chen easily freed them without much effort.
He then began searching the room.
Most of the computers in the office were damaged.
There was a lot of data and documents piled up on the table, but Su Chen still couldn't understand them.
He continued walking up the stairs.
The situation on the second floor is no different from that on the first floor.
Su Chen didn't linger and went to the third floor.
The third floor was completely empty, with a conference table placed in the very center.
Computers and various testing instruments were placed around it.
Standing by the window, you can look down at the entire eighth floor.
Just then, Su Chen suddenly noticed a half-open door on the wall opposite the window.
He pushed open the door and slowly walked in.
This is an office, which is extremely clean and there are no zombies inside.
There was only one corpse, lying quietly on the desk.
Su Chen slowly walked forward and began to examine the body.
Although a long time had passed, the body was relatively well preserved due to the extremely low temperature.
The deceased was a middle-aged man.
He didn't turn into a zombie because he committed suicide by shooting himself.
A pistol lay silently on the ground next to the body.
Su Chen put the pistol into his storage space and suddenly noticed that there were several pieces of paper under the deceased's palm.
It was covered with dense writing, which seemed to be his last words.
Su Chen's heart skipped a beat. He moved the deceased's hand away and took out the paper.
His guess was correct; these were indeed the deceased's last words!
"By the time you read this letter, I'll probably be dead!"
"The zombies outside are attacking the door!"
"I probably won't last much longer, so I'll keep it short."
"My name is Lü Qingyang, and I am an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences..."
Su Chen read through all of Lü Qingyang's dying words.
He finally understood the purpose of building this military base, and what had finally happened inside!
Just as Su Chen and Yu Shoujing had guessed, this base was not for military purposes.
Scientists like Lü Qingyang were gathered here to dedicate themselves to studying various supernatural phenomena.
Not long after the apocalypse, the leader of the base realized that something was wrong.
He promptly ordered the base to be sealed off, temporarily cutting off all contact with the outside world.
Although official contact could not be made, the experiments at the base were still proceeding normally.
However, after an unintentional experiment, something amazing happened.
That experiment was led by Lü Qingyang.
He plans to create a channel by activating dark matter.
Having failed many times before, Lü Qingyang did not think he would succeed.
I just wanted to see if I could activate dark matter.
But the result was beyond his expectations.
Not only was the dark matter channel successfully established, but a person also fell out of it.
The man claimed to be from the future.
It is said that after the apocalypse, there will be high temperatures first, followed by floods, extreme cold, and blizzards!
And after the blizzard, there's the fog, and the monsters!
As for how that person traveled through time...
He said he didn't know either.
While he was fighting zombies, everything suddenly went black, and he found himself in a military base!
Before Lü Qingyang could ask the leaders for more information, the man suddenly turned into a zombie.
At the time, the people inside the base were unaware of the zombie virus.
They assumed the man had suddenly gone mad and tried to control him.
More than 20 people were bitten during the incident.
In the end, the time traveler was successfully subdued.
However, those who were bitten also spread the zombie virus after returning to the upper floors.
And so the entire military base fell!
During the period of occupation, Lü Qingyang and the base leadership managed to briefly control the situation.
Subsequently, the biological scientists at the base began research on the zombies' blood.
They plan to develop a vaccine to control the zombie virus.
The process was relatively successful, and a vaccine was eventually produced.
But before everyone could determine whether the vaccine would work, several mutated zombies appeared inside the base!
The situation was completely out of control.
Before his death, Lü Qingyang hid in his office and recorded everything that happened.
The last few lines were noticeably more illegible.
"...They're coming in! I can't let them eat me! Goodbye!"
Su Chen could sense the despair Lü Qingyang felt in his final moments.
His mood couldn't help but feel somewhat heavy.
In fact, Lü Qingyang and the others originally had a chance to escape.
However, in order to control the situation and prevent the zombie virus from spreading,
Lü Qingyang suggested that the military base be kept closed and that no one be allowed to leave.
Looking at Lü Qingyang's corpse, Su Chen raised his right hand and gave a solemn military salute.
He made up his mind that he would give Lü Qingyang and the others a proper burial when he got back!
After calming himself down a bit, Su Chen began to think.
He never imagined that this base was actually for researching paranormal phenomena.
Although it sounds like a fantasy, upon closer examination, it's not entirely without merit.
Supernatural phenomena occur all over the world.
For example, the Chinese practices of corpse driving and witchcraft.
UFOs from the United States have been abducted by aliens.
Many countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, have long been researching paranormal phenomena.
If we can study it thoroughly, we can not only explore human potential, but also promote the development of scientific research.
Therefore, it's not impossible that the government established such a base to study paranormal phenomena.
But what shocked Su Chen the most was that Lü Qingyang and the others actually opened a time travel passage and summoned back the survivors from the future!
According to the survivor, he had lived longer than Su Chen.
Before the extreme cold and blizzard had even ended, Su Chen died at the hands of zombies.
The survivor then encountered further fog and monsters!
This surprised Su Chen; he hadn't expected that there were other types of crises behind the extreme cold and blizzard.
Since that survivor could be summoned back.
Was Su Chen's own time travel also due to some kind of experiment?
Upon receiving so much information all at once, Su Chen was genuinely stunned.
Just then, soft footsteps sounded on the stairs.
