Falling Into The Abyss - Vol 2 Chapter 121

The fifth space station, a rich and beautiful sky garden. Most of the people living here are middle-class or even upper-class gentlemen and ladies. Many important government departments have also been located here, including the residence of the president. But when the plague broke out, this area was the first to suffer. It was only because a few celebrities who got sick while traveling on the earth cleared the relationship and escaped from the quarantine area, bringing the plague into this once paradise. .

The president is the first to be transferred, and then the major government officials. People are scrambling to abandon their homes and try to escape to a safer space station. Before he could escape, he was completely sealed inside and monitored by the military to prevent anyone from escaping. All spacecraft that tried to leave after the blockade were destroyed.

No reports, no photos, no one knows what has become in the fifth space station. Thousands of people just evaporate out of thin air, no one knows how they are.

At this critical moment, there are too many such things, and everyone is in danger and can only hope that they are not the unlucky ghost trapped in the isolation zone.

Ethan’s spacecraft slowly moved into the area of ​​the fifth space station without encountering obstacles. However, he knew he was being watched.

This is a spherical space station with a continuously rotating diamond-shaped central core. Many super-long channels extend from the core, and a honeycomb-like architectural network is woven on the outer layer. The light blue atmosphere surrounding the entire space station is still quietly rotating with the autobiography of the space station. It seems that the life support system in the core that drives the operation of the entire space station has not been damaged.

Seeing the quiet blue, Ethan slowly exhaled from his chest. A faint soreness surged in his throat, and nostalgia mixed with a bit of cowardice tangled in his heart.

It has been too long since he went home. The home he dreamed of would be under such circumstances when he came back.

He was suddenly a little scared.

Originally thought that this feeling of fear would die with his past self after he awakened, but now it seems that he still retains many people’s emotions after all.

Feeling timid, he was afraid of the sight he was about to see.

And all this was caused by him.

His spacecraft slowly sailed into the once extremely prosperous international space port that he knew, but at this moment only his spacecraft crossed several routes into the empty terminal building. There are several spacecrafts covered with dust and some kind of greasy oil in the berth. There seems to be something wrong with the gravity system. Many debris and repair tools are quietly suspended in the air, and they are taken out by Ethan’s spacecraft. Disturbed by the cyclone.

The quiet light blue air made everything very empty and quiet. Ethan came out of the spaceship, took a deep breath of the air of his hometown, and then frowned.

Although it is the unique smell of the fifth space station, there is a strong damp and rancid smell in the middle, like the smell of some kind of sticky amphibian corpse rotting in the tree hole covered with moss lichen, greasy and greasy of.

In the empty terminal building, all the food and beverage stalls were watching him quietly. Those huge fast food signs were still hanging publicly, covered with thick dust, and the kind that made him familiar to a little sad. The black ointment-like substance. There are still one or two dinner plates on the table, with drink cups and disposable plates covered with thick mold. He walked across the wide trails scattered with snack packages and discarded salutes, and the scene before him was familiar and unfamiliar.

I still remember that I used to work in the Energy Bureau and boarded the ship here when I needed to travel to other space stations. He likes to eat fried noodles and milk tea at the Chinese restaurant on the left, and then slowly carry the suitcase to wait for the boarding. But now the tables and chairs in the restaurant are messy, there is no one in the kitchen, and the plaster lions used for decoration at the entrance of the temple are also broken into powder.

Leaving the spaceport, there is an uninhabited doomsday scene in front of you. Many dual-purpose vehicles and aircrafts that have not known how long they have been here are piled up and down in the middle of the road. The bodies of many vehicles are seriously deformed, and they have apparently collided and crashed in the air. There was a mess in the middle of the road, covered with many parts and rubble of roadblocks. The empty buildings on both sides were buried in the faint mist, looking sad and desolate.

Ethan stayed in place for a while, staring at everything in front of him in a dazed manner, with the impression of the past here in his mind. But in just a few months, this place has become like this.

He walked slowly along the oily road, and found a complete aircraft along the way. The driver was still sitting in the driver’s seat, but the head and limbs seemed to be ripped off by something. The rotten torso had a big hole in the belly, and intestines flowed out of it. Ethan stretched out his hand and dragged the broken body out, and sat in by himself, and did not dislike the mucus spreading on the seat. He found a physical spare key from the drawer in front of the co-pilot and inserted it into the groove next to the console. A series of buttons appeared on the screen and a steering wheel was projected in front of him.

Fortunately, this aircraft has a daylighting board that relies on solar charging, otherwise it will definitely not be able to operate even if the electricity has not been drained for so many months.

Driving the broken spaceship, he quickly and directly flew towards home. Not the apartment he rented himself, but the beautiful hut surrounded by wormwood where he grew up. He landed a few blocks away from home, because the electricity generated by the sun had also been used up. He walked on the street in the former high-end residential area leading to his home. Weeds sprawled from the connected courtyards, raging on the originally straight and tidy road. There are ridges and cracks on the road. The houses collapsed more than half of the time. Both plants and ruins were covered with a black ointment-like substance, with colorful oils flashing and changing in the light. Plants are withering and decayed, giving off a stench. The metal or cement of the cast house also swelled with a black substance like blisters, which was slightly distorted.

The courtyard of his house was deserted like other courtyards. The daylily became a puddle of mud, and only some traces of the rhizomes could be seen. The cobblestone path is now unclear, and the rotting plant leaves cover everything like a carpet. The concrete steps leading to the gate became very crisp for some reason, and scattered into a pile of rubble as soon as they stepped on it. There was thick rust on the door handle, which looked like the color of blood. He held his hand on it, and the biting cold flowed deep into his bones.

Ethan slammed the door open and saw everything in the house.

He suddenly remembered that this was a nightmare he had entered when he was in the Forbidden City.

At that time, he still didn’t know that he was the culprit responsible for all this, or what he would become.

This is his home, which originally carried all the memories from his birth to the age of eighteen, where he could return no matter how painful things happened.

No more.

The wallpaper rotted and peeled off, and the tables and chairs were covered with mold. A rotten stench made his eyes hurt. He walked into the room numbly, watching the familiar but unrecognizable furnishings and rotten furniture quietly watching him.

He saw the cotton in the armchair where his father often sat was rotted to black, saw the robot model he made when he was a child scattered on the ground, and saw a thick layer of baking utensils carefully maintained by his mother. rust. All his memories are rotten here, with a pair of empty eyes open, mocking the memory of his death.

Only at this time did he know what he had given up while accepting the terrible darkness in his body.

“Makingyourselvesathome” came from outside the door with a hint of joking questioning, Ethan turned around abruptly, but he saw the Senator Aguda who had seen him on the screen before. She was wearing a tightly wrapped protective suit, and her voice came from an amplifying port on her coat. Behind her, many heavily armed soldiers were pointing their guns at him.

Ethan asked, “Where is my father?”

Aguda twitched his mouth coldly and pushed back two steps.

Two soldiers pointed their guns at a man whose neck and hands were locked with steel locks. It was a male Alpha with gray hair, sallow complexion, and a rickety figure, with heavy blood in his eyes and heavy gasps, and the skin on his arms was gradually turning black. Everything is telling him that this is a patient in the early stages of infection.

But those familiar facial features were like a thunder for Ethan.

His father, once tall and handsome and proud, stared at him with a pair of godless eyes. In those empty eyes, it is difficult to find the light that was once familiar and confident.

Ethan’s apple slid up and down, his mouth opened, but he could not speak.

“Your father has been here for a long time, and he was finally infected about a few days ago.” Aguda said slowly, “If the serum cannot be developed as soon as possible, he will soon become a person like other infected people. monster.”

Ethan wanted to step forward, but the two soldiers immediately put their guns against Adrian’s head, and the infrared points of the other sniper rifles floated across the deadly points of Adrian’s body. Maybe his speed can kill the two soldiers with guns in an instant, but how to solve those snipers who don’t know where to hide?

Adrian’s head was slightly tilted, but he didn’t even struggle. Those eyes have been fixed on Ethan, without blinking.

Ethan had to stop, and there was a dry pain in his eyes. He took a deep breath and tried to say in a calm voice, “What do you want me.”

“We want you to inject this into your body yourself.” Aguda said, throwing something to the ground. It made a crisp crash and rolled to Ethan’s feet.

It is a familiar light blue injection.

The solution of the Egg of Order God.

Ethan was stunned. He didn’t expect Evestar to present such a luxurious gift to the Earth Alliance. Do you know that he will not be able to complete the surrendering ritual and will destroy him?

This is what Nyarlatotepu means? Or is there any other way for the Earth Alliance to get the Egg of Order God?

“Why do you have this?” Ethan asked.

Aguda raised his head slightly arrogantly, “All of Eve’s eggs of the Order God were also found on the newborn planet. What they can do, our Earth Alliance can naturally do. But we couldn’t control these things before. , But after experiments on Mars, we know that you can do it, so in other words, any initial infected person can do it.” She paused slightly and continued, “Well, maybe they can only do it. Half of you died because of the decomposition of your body, but they are no longer saved anyway, we are just helping them get rid of them earlier.”

Ethan’s fists were tightly clenched, his joints turned white, “My father…you infected him! Isn’t it!”

“If you don’t do this, how can you cooperate? What’s more, only when someone important to you is infected, you can realize how sinful what you are doing, and you will cooperate with us to study serum. Don’t worry, we give you a preface. God’s egg solution is diluted. Based on your previous performance, it shouldn’t kill you.” Aguda said in a matter-of-fact tone, “Now, it’s time for you to make a choice.”

For Members, this meeting is very risky. If Ethan decides to ignore Adrian’s life or death, all of them will have to die. Even if the military has time to detonate the nuclear bomb that has been buried inside the space station to kill the monster that looks like a human, it also loses the opportunity to use the source of infection to study serum.

Ethan looked at Adrian, who looked at him, suddenly opened his mouth, and said dullly, “Go…”

It was just a word, but Ethan’s eyes were wet.

With this word, he knew that his trip was not in vain. He slowly squatted down and grabbed the injection…
