Fortunately, I'm a Giant of Light

Because she is very familiar with this image.

Although she is much older...But, there is no doubt that it is the girl in a white robe and silver hair she saw in her memory when she came into contact with the Chaos virus.

It was the one who hugged her lovingly and tried to call her away.

File Number: UME023

Working title: A Time Machine from an Ultra-Ancient Civilization

History will disappear in darkness, words will not be delivered, and truth will simply be buried in the middle of nowhere.Therefore, the ancients said, at the beginning of ancient times, who preached it?Up and down are not shaped, so why test it?

Only the times, unhurried, keep spiraling forward.

The third volume, the end of the vortex.

Chapter 1 The Earth in the Snow

The snow is capped, and the mountains and fields are bleak.

The world in the snow is extraordinarily quiet, as if all sounds are absorbed by the snow.

After the Chaos virus, the earth is much quieter than in previous years, and all the natural creatures that were originally common are dormant in the winter snow.

For human beings, the first priority on the surface is to rebuild their homes and search for survivors in the wild.

After Hussein disappeared, the United Empire and many other seriously injured large, medium and small countries reorganized their governments one after another.The chairman of the League of Nations, several standing committee members, and the executive directors of TPC's current headquarters and branches have successively delivered post-disaster speeches, clearly conveying their respective recovery plans to every corner of the world through the dense network. This is to stabilize the morale of the army.

In the era of monsters, it is very difficult to maintain the basic order of the human world.

"But if there is no order, it will turn into the abuse of the strong against the weak. You must keep this in mind. This is one of the missions of TPC."

Director Sawai supported his head and said to the people around him.

Recently, UME023-Time Machine made the old man uneasy.

And one day when he wanted to get up, he suddenly found that his body was out of control, and he could only lie there with his eyes open for a long, long time, which made him feel that he was very old and couldn't do things anymore.

Every day, many things are changing silently.

Although the human world has been greatly damaged, in the middle of the 21st century, the food reserves of major powers in various bases, air-raid shelters, concentrated places, and hidden places are sufficient to ensure that farmers around the world are out of production, and they can last for more than five years.

As long as the food problem is not a problem, everything is still under control.

People will think about more, other things.

Let's talk about an expedition first.

"Captain, have you heard? It seems that the big bosses of TPC think that humans should leave the earth. Should we leave? If we leave, where should we go?"

An expedition member exhaled hot air, which soon turned into white mist and frost in the snow.

This is the civilian expedition team hired by the TPC South Asia Division based on the post-disaster recovery agreement, and now they are staggering forward in the Himalayas, near Bhutan.Starting from the standard C-class exoskeleton armor with corrected human body functions, the loose lifeline is led from the first person to the last person, linking their fate together.

"If you really want to leave the earth...then we have to come on a first-come, first-served basis. We have no money and no power, so we might be able to make it to the top!"

Behind him was another team member with red cheeks.

The person at the front is the captain.He shook his head:

"Don't think too much, we have already reached the frontline base."

Indeed, the pedestrians have already heard the noisy human voices ahead and the familiar voice of the main control computer AM.

After walking a few dozen steps, the expedition team hired by TPC cheered, let go of the rope, put the exoskeleton armor into the mechanical backpack, and rested in the logistics area of ​​the frontline base.And their captain, under the guidance of the reception staff, went to a temporary meeting room in the research area and began to report the situation of his team to the person in charge of the frontline base.

There is a shortage of people here right now.

The frontline base is a research base directly under the TPC.At present, based on the global cooperation agreement, Dr. Xianghe and Dr. Serizawa, as experts in paleontology, have been recruited to live here temporarily.

As the captain said, he observed and saw that they were all nodding.

That's all, Dr. Serizawa closed the foldable tablet, which is considered to have some understanding of the members of this team, he said:

"You go to rest first, and report to the affairs officer tomorrow, and you will be very busy in the future."

Their nationalities are different, and their languages ​​are also very different.But now, the technology of machine translation is very mature, so there is no need to worry.

"No... can I see it with my own eyes first? The place we are about to explore. Although I have learned a lot from the previous materials, I still want to know the actual situation, um... see it with my own eyes."

Dr. Serizawa froze for a moment, and smiled peacefully, making this adventurous young man's heart agitated, and he rubbed his pendant from time to time.

He heard this kindly middle-aged man say:

"of course can."

Then Serizawa got up and led the curious man to the edge of the forward base.

At a glance, the sky is full of wind and snow, tired on the thick coats of pedestrians.A few days ago, when the weather was good, drones could be used, but now all drones have returned and cannot replace humans for operations.

However, the twelve heavy lifting equipment placed at this base are still in operation.

They walked all the way to the vicinity of the warning belt erected by steel pipes.

"There is still some distance from the edge, but it can already be seen at a glance."

When Serizawa turned his body sideways, the young man was able to see the largest abyss on earth.

(③④②⑨⑥⑦④⑥⑤)

Barren cliffs, dark valleys.On both sides are the layers of accumulated rocks. Due to the continuous accumulation of beauty through billions of years of time, they show distinct layers of color and brilliance under the light.

The heavy lifting equipment went up and down slightly, and the ice and snow on the cliff immediately shook off, pouring into the thick cloud and cold mist in the middle of the crack, soundlessly, as if disappearing into an unknown dimension.

The clouds are so deep that they are blinding.

Everyone who walks here needs to take a deep breath, and in the cold of the snowflakes, think of that horrible and absurd day dozens of days ago.

This is the deepest scar left by the Chaos virus on the earth. It makes Mount Everest, the highest mountain on the earth that children catchy, a complete history, and allows the airflow on the Indian Ocean to directly enter the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.Due to the short time, no grass has grown on the two walls.

Even the most skilled mountain climber must be extremely calm in the face of this abyss.

"This is the Great Himalayan Rift Valley."

Serizawa introduced.

The captain of the expedition team had blue veins in his hands, tightly grasped the temporary railing made of steel pipes, and asked eagerly:

"I have climbed the Great Rift Valley before, but I have never seen this kind of sight... How long is it! How deep is it?"

The width, he can visually measure, is about fifty kilometers or more.

The so-called East African Rift Valley is a fault zone on the African continent formed 3000 million years ago, a time period that TPC is already very familiar with. The length is equivalent to one-sixth of the circumference of the earth, and it is called the scar of the earth.

According to scholars' speculation, after [-] million years, the Great Rift Valley in East Africa will completely tear Africa apart and form a new continent.

"The length is a little longer than the Great Rift Valley in East Africa, about one-fifth of the circumference of the earth. The depth..." Dr. Serizawa glanced at the captain, "more than 5000 meters."

He heard the man take a deep breath.

"Under the ground, we have built another research base, but we need to work on the two walls, so we need professional, very professional people."

"I understand...but I dare to ask, boss! Why does TPC pay huge sums of money to study this?"

"The reason for this, this is very simple. Once you arrive at the base, you can indeed know."

Dr. Serizawa tightened his clothes and began to walk back.

He is the same mortal, seeing the scars of this earth, also dizzy.

"It's because Chaos' power is too strong, do you want to understand this power?"

The expedition leader blurted out rashly.

Unexpectedly, Serizawa stopped suddenly.

"No, the damage it caused was too weak."

Then he saw him shake his head slowly and heavily, looking back as he said:

"Because of UME020's attack, that attack, according to the energy level assessment... can directly cut through the core of the earth, just like you cut a watermelon with a knife. But now, it only stays at the surface of the earth's crust, isn't it strange? ?”

The expedition leader immediately froze there.

At that time, the Chaos virus did not use its full strength, but adjusted the parameters of its release according to its enemies.But even so, the earth cannot bear it.

The non-stop fusion luminescence on the surface of Saturn can prove it.

It wasn't until after the initial drone detection that strange reactions were discovered, TPC began to investigate.

This is the event rated as UME024, Mystery of the Great Himalayan Rift Valley.

"Speaking of which," Serizawa asked again, "what is engraved on the pendant you are wearing?"

He felt very familiar.

"It belongs to giants, giants."

The man actually closed his eyes piously, and began to say the prayers taught to him by the person who had brought him into the congregation.

That's something else going on.

As early as the discovery of abnormal spiral galaxies, there was a frenzy of mystic knowledge related to spirals and vortexes.Until today, this has been called a formal trend of thought by social researchers.

"It's called a spiral trend, isn't it?"

Zion spun something, sat in the main cabin of the Retribution, half asleep and half awake, and yawned.

Since the battle against the Chaos virus, Zion felt that there were many differences in himself, and he couldn't find out what had changed, but he often felt sleepy.

"The most famous branch of the Spiral Thought, now there are about tens of thousands of registered members all over the world, and 'Tiga' is among the gods that are preached and believed in."

Registration means that they have a special organization and will register the information of the members.

Aya's voice was nice, and she slowly read the letter from Lizi to Zion.Zion just lay on the chair and listened leisurely while examining his changes.

"So... how does TPC handle it?"

"TPC is handled according to your original opinion."

"That's good."

Zion breathed a sigh of relief.
