Annihilation of the solar system

Chapter 370: The Criminal

After Zhou Cheng returned to his residence, he was ready to immediately start reading data from the storage unit, but he soon discovered that this data unit was very similar to the mobile hard drive of his era. But in this era, there are no computers and any wired interfaces.

Device for reading data in the form.

Originally, the Internet of Things could customize a dedicated data reading device for him, but Zhou Cheng found a simpler and more direct way. He borrowed a von Neumann system computer from the museum that had been preserved as a cultural relic.

After inserting the data unit, he found that the data in the storage unit was saved in a file format that he was familiar with. This allowed him to operate without any obstacles, but almost all the data was saved in the form of pictures, which made retrieval work difficult.

brought great difficulties.

However, Zhou Cheng would rather rummage through countless files of photos one by one than have the omniscient and omnipotent Internet of Things handle it for him. I don’t know whether it is an illusion or anxiety, but just like Wen Tang said, he always feels that someone is there.

Stare at him.

In the middle of the night, with anxious anticipation, Cao Rui's name finally appeared in the column of the person handling the case. Zhou Cheng was overjoyed and looked at the time of the file. It was the fourth year after the Doomsday War. He excitedly started

He jumped up on the sofa and shouted:

"Old Cao, you are really lucky. I knew you wouldn't lose your life on the edge of the track. Moreover, you are back to your old job and doing what you are best at." Zhou Cheng wiped his hands.

With tears of joy in the corner of his eyes, he sat back on the sofa.

Soon, Cao Rui's name appeared more and more in the files. His name appeared on the case handlers, reviewers, and approvers. The time also came to the 17th year after the Doomsday War. Zhou Cheng

He counted on his fingers and said:

Kou Kou five six three seven four three six seven five

"You, Mr. Cao, are very energetic. You are still handling cases at the age of 67."

Afterwards, Cao Rui's name no longer appeared in the file. Zhou Cheng was a little confused, maybe his old friend had retired or died.

But none of these can explain why there is no information about Cao Rui in the historical materials. People like Xia Jigang can find clear records. This is extremely unreasonable for Cao Rui, a soldier who has always been at the forefront of the battle.

At this moment, a picture on the monitor made Zhou Cheng stunned. There was only one picture in this file, and the content on it was the basic information of the criminal suspect. The name of Cao Rui was clearly written in the name column, and the time was the end of the world.

Eighteen years after the war.

Zhou Cheng rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then carefully proofread the information. Although the ink marks on many of the data had faded and were unrecognizable, Zhou Cheng was sure from the date of birth alone that this must be his old friend's file.

But what puzzled him was that based on his understanding of Cao Rui, he could understand anyone who became a criminal, but his old friend had no such possibility. What's more, Cao Rui's identity was intentionally or unintentionally hidden from the historical data.

information, which aroused Zhou Cheng's great suspicion.

In the next few days, he repeatedly read the files, trying to find some clues. Among the documents that were filled with the sins and ugliness of human nature, although there were also contents that made Zhou Cheng feel angry and ashamed, they still made Zhou Cheng feel angry and ashamed.

It also made him feel the existence of more real people, people who make mistakes.

The morning light of another day poured in from the window, and Zhou Cheng took out a food that he had been eating for the past few days from the synthesizer. While chewing the same taste, he prepared to start another file review.

Suddenly, an idea came to his mind.

Then he immediately ran to the computer, and his idea was quickly confirmed. From the end of the Doomsday War to the last file more than four centuries ago, all criminals were serving their sentences in the same place - the Beehive Prison.

He retrieved Cao Rui's incomplete file again. The handwriting of the place where he was sentenced could no longer be read clearly, but he could vaguely make out the four characters.

Zhou Cheng looked up the location of the Beehive Prison on the Internet of Things. Originally, he had no hope of getting useful information. But to his surprise, he easily obtained the location of the "Hive Prison". The mark showed the current Beehive Prison.

It is a museum that has stopped maintenance and is located not far to the north of the Eternal City.

Although Zhou Cheng rationally realized that there should be no useful clues in the prison that had been in operation for two centuries, he still instinctively wanted to take a look. If Cao Rui was by his side, the old man

His friend would definitely make the same decision. So, he packed up the data unit and pushed the door open.

When he arrived at the door, he was about to press his wristband to call an air taxi. But he was surprised to find that his Y60 had been sent back at some point, so he drove towards the Beehive Prison.

It took Zhou Cheng a whole day to drive to the edge of the city. The lush forest undulated with the hills, rushing towards the city like waves. He drove along the road in the forest and soon disappeared into the forest.

between.

The shrubs on the roadside gradually climbed up the road from both sides, and the road began to become broken. The sun hung over the skyline, and the faded purple clouds hung faintly among the peaks in the west. The sky was clear and almost

A pale star has begun to twinkle.

Zhou Cheng looked at the upcoming arrival prompt on the navigation projection, and then looked at the increasingly lush jungle around him. He was wondering. The car rolled up a hill. A circular area of ​​100 meters in size appeared on the low ground in front of him. The ground was made of concrete.

It has been hardened, and there is a concentric hollow in the middle, which looks like a grinding disc thrown on the grass.

He drove to the edge of the round hard ground. There was a stone tablet at the end of the road. There was a line of words engraved on it:

"The Hive Prison, the Last Flaw in Civilization."

Zhou Cheng looked around, but there was no sign of any high walls or prison cells, just a circular concrete floor. He walked towards the center of the hard floor in confusion.

When he came to the edge of the hollow, he held on to the pole of the mottled railing and looked into the hollow. A bone-chilling chill hit his face, and the sight in front of him made his hair stand on end.

Under the dim light of the setting sun, the cave is bottomless. But it can still be seen that the side space is many times larger than the entrance of the cave, even equivalent to the entire circular area. Zhou Cheng activated the lighting function of the bracelet.

Under the funnel-like light beam, he could clearly see that the structure inside the cave was a deep cylindrical shape.

There is a circular column in the center of the cylinder, and densely packed prison cells are distributed on the cave wall and the column. All cells are closed with iron grilles. There are no corridors outside the grilles, only endless abyss.

Now Zhou Cheng understands why this place is called the Beehive Prison, because it does look like it, but the people locked inside have no wings.

Zhou Cheng withdrew his gaze and looked at the forest sea swaying slowly in the wind in the distance and the twinkling stars in the sky. Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling of joy came to his heart. He could not imagine that the people who had been imprisoned here had to suffer mentally.

What pain and torture, and how lucky I am to be outside this terrible prison at this moment.

When his eyes followed the light beam of the bracelet to the hive buried deep underground again, he saw a line of words written on the cylindrical building in the center of the hive:

"A place where fear and despair gather, where the soul will be cleansed."

Zhou Cheng took a breath of cold air and muttered:

"Old Cao, how did you get yourself into such a terrible place? This is nothing like what you can do. What happened to you?"

After saying that, Zhou Cheng searched along the circular hard ground. He originally expected to find an entrance into the underground prison area. Although he was extremely reluctant to enter, the desire for his old friends drove him to do so. He

It is really unimaginable why that old friend with extraordinary wisdom and insight would be locked up in such a place.

The sun had completely set under the hills, and there was only the last ray of red light left in the sky. Except for the echo of his own footsteps, Zhou Cheng found nothing, as if there was no entrance designed at all.

At this moment, the ground in front of Zhou Cheng lit up, and his own reflection was reflected on the ground, and it was still being stretched. His heart tightened, and when he looked back, he saw a bright light source in the air behind him.
