Apocalypse: Last Traveler

"Yes, Shu."

Lu Xi'an organized his thoughts and said, "It was like that here back then, large-scale use of high concentration X-17 Strain, aimed at Type D-1 Neo-Humans.

"Then people basically died from skin ulcers and suffering.

"But Shu survived, and the observer who used this laptop back then also survived.

"The observer said he managed to survive for such a long time because of the observation site. Could the top of East Mountain where Shu stayed then also be related to the observation site?"

Yao Wei said, "Was it the green water in the pit related to the observation site?"

"You're right."

Lu Xi'an nodded slightly and said, "But we just don't know what this observation site is... According to the observer's log, the observation site is supposed to be confidential, he did not reveal it in the log.

"What kind of secret could it be... the X-17 Strain is mentioned in the log, but the specific observation site is not discussed.

"What could be more confidential than the X-17 Strain?"

Yao Wei asked, "And then? What did he say next?"

"I'll continue reading."

Lu Xi'an said, staring at the laptop screen, and continued to read, "So far, no successful Type D X-17 Strain receptor has been found.

"Those of us barely surviving by hanging onto the observation site are just disabled versions of Type D-1 receptors and ultimately can't escape.

"The light cascade getting increasingly stronger, especially after rain and snow, can be seen from outside Ox Head Mountain.

"Everything was a mistake, this thing shouldn't have been created.

"If this thing hadn't been created, the cold disaster wouldn't have come, and things wouldn't have developed like this. I wouldn't have accepted high concentration X-17 Strain to survive here, turning into what I am now...

"Now the extreme cold weather has arrived, but most people are already gone prematurely. Why use immature technology?!

"This world is just a big amateur troupe!"

Lu Xi'an paused again.

From these words, he felt the observer's deep resentment towards the world, the decision-makers, and reality.

What Lu Xi'an could understand so far was only the high concentration X-17 Strain.

The text reveals that Jianshan City was in a cold disaster at the time, but the weather hadn't reached the extremity of extreme cold.

The former decision-makers seemed to have determined that extreme cold weather would eventually arrive, or was there another reason?

From the findings in Mengxin City, it's clear that X-17 Strain Type D-1 was launched across various places to make people complete the evolution into Type D-1 Neo-Humans in response to the cold disaster.

Or according to the observer's log, they are Type D-1 receptors.

But this Type D-1 receptors might only be useful for the initial cold disaster and ineffective in extreme cold weather, so the decision-makers decided to use high concentration X-17 Strain, resulting in disaster?

Thus, Jianshan City's people either died or fled, leaving Shu in Xiaogang Village to eke out a living and leaving this observer to continue his mission on Ox Head Mountain?

The observer thus harbored resentment in his last logs, writing that this world is just a big amateur troupe.

This is the most reasonable guess based on the current information.

But Lu Xi'an pondered for a long time and felt the observer's resentment didn't come from just this.

That sentence "this thing shouldn't have been created" doesn't seem to refer to the X-17 Strain.

The strain was directly written in the log by the observer; if he wanted to write directly, he would just write it. Is there a need to refer to it as "this thing"?

The log also says, "If this thing hadn't been created, the cold disaster wouldn't have come." What could be the thing that triggers a cold disaster?

Lu Xi'an felt that the things involved here had surpassed his common understanding.

Actually, many things in this world have already surpassed common understanding, such as the X-17 Strain, such as himself, Yao Wei, Luo Ping, these Neo-Humans.

For example, he originally thought the apocalypse of this world came from natural disasters, but now looking at the log, it seems like it's caused by human folly.

What kind of human folly would create such terrible extreme cold weather, and make the current world frequency shift between cold and hot so drastically, as if on the verge of collapse?

Also... according to the log, was that purple light cascade seen earlier also due to human folly?

What the observer seemed to be observing at that time was this purple light cascade?

What kind of human folly would generate such a purple light cascade?

Can't figure it out, simply can't figure it out.

Lu Xi'an continued to read on, but the remaining content in the observation log still didn't reveal the answers Lu Xi'an wanted:

"Off-topic, forget it, no more complaints.

"Now starting the final observation—software won't open, equipment lost, unable to record data observations, naked-eye observation, clear skies, no light cascade.

"According to previous data predictions, the destructive impact will continue to expand, possibly directly generating unknown harmful substances.

"Even... substances not reported before may have already been directly generated, but the generation location deviated from the observation site.

"Observation complete."

"Is it over?"

Yao Wei heard Lu Xi'an stop again, and asked.

Lu Xi'an said, "It's over."

Yao Wei nodded and said, "Then after transmitting the things, let's hurry and leave here.

"Doesn't this mean that the sky's light seen earlier might be dangerous?

"In that case, we need to leave Jianshan City as soon as possible, at least leave Ox Head Mountain."

"Alright."

Lu Xi'an agreed. At this point, he naturally wouldn't disagree with Yao Wei's opinion.

He speculated the unknown harmful substance mentioned might be the green water in the pit on the east mountain top that Shu used for bathing.

That green water is extremely harmful to ordinary people but had a positive effect on Shu.

Shu directly soaked in the water thus survived till now, while the observer perhaps only got some influence from the observation site, and could only hold on for a while until his energy was depleted.

And Shu hasn't completed the evolution, just relying on the green water and high concentration X-17 Strain to become what he is now, cannot be detected by the Resonant Gene Scanner, yet retained symptoms after being infected by the strain, mastering certain abilities.

Various doubts and speculations collided in his mind, making Lu Xi'an extremely curious about the observation site on Ox Head Mountain.

But he also understood very well that curiosity killed the cat.

This observation log is filled with mysteries everywhere, and between the lines, it indicates that the danger here is very great, so Yao Wei would not indulge her curiosity to stay here, taking reckless risks.

That's how Yao is, Lu Xi'an naturally is the same.

In this dangerous world, survival is the top priority.

Thus Lu Xi'an, after confirming that most files had been transmitted, and the remainder would be completed after a little while, he and Yao Wei waited a bit.

Once the transmission finished, they immediately packed up and got in the car to leave.

Leaving this mysterious place behind.
