My Endless Life
Chapter 431: Stand-in Doll
In the next month, Li Qi continued to be busy.
Nowadays, there are a total of thirty-six underground cities in China, which coincides with the number of Tiangang's thirty-six.
Among these thirty-six underground cities, there are five cities with a population of tens of millions. In peacetime, these five cities were either political centers, economic centers, or municipalities or special economic zones.
It can be said that these five cities are the most important cities in China.
Among them, two underground cities, the capital and the magic city, were not affected by the disaster of power loss due to the protection of the twelve golden immortals. However, the remaining cities all fell without exception.
If they hadn't made countless emergency plans before and were protected by strange objects in various places, the number of people dying now would probably have increased exponentially.
At least one-fifth of the original population of more than 200 million in China would die.
But even so, Li Qi has been busy for a month to restore power to major cities. According to official statistics, there are millions of people who died due to the blackout this time.
Fortunately, most of the people who died were terminally ill and needed instruments to maintain their lives.
These people have only a short time to live, so being able to die in the apocalypse is considered another kind of luck.
Two months later, all the major underground cities were safe and initial order was restored. Only then was the Capital Underground City taking the lead in holding a nationwide mourning event.
The closer we get to the end of the world, the more we need to unite people's hearts.
The dead cannot come back, but the living still have to work hard to move forward in this doomsday. In order to give these people hope, mourning activities are necessary.
One is to enhance cohesion, and the other is to let the survivors know that the country has not given up and will not give up on anyone.
On the day of the public memorial day, Li Qi was dressed in black and stood in front of the black cemetery established for the dead.
Because so many people died in this apocalyptic disaster, and most of them had no bodies left, the country only erected literal tombstones.
The names of the victims are written all over the tombstones.
Every city has a cemetery like this, with the names of those who died in the respective city written on it.
Countless living lives and countless people who once existed in this world have become cold names engraved on tombstones.
Even Li Qi, who had seen the cruelty of war, couldn't help but bow his head in silence when looking at the names on these tombstones.
After all, even in the war era, there has never been a loss of human life that counts as "hundred million".
In this doomsday, China has suffered heavy losses, and the world has also suffered heavy losses.
If there are souls in this world, then the whole world must be filled with innocent souls at this moment.
After the memorial ceremony, everyone dispersed in an orderly manner.
Li Qi still stayed in front of the tombstone, wearing a black suit. His short stature stood out, but no one came close.
Except Wu Miao, the director of Bureau 057.
"Sorry, the bureau has very little information about the organization you are looking for. We can only find bits and pieces."
Wu Miao stood next to Li Qi. He was wearing something similar to an officer's uniform and a hat with a five-pointed star engraved on his head. He stared directly at the tombstones in front of him without moving away.
Li Qi was not very surprised by this, he said softly:
"When I realized I couldn't pronounce their names, I knew they were probably hiding."
"So you can be sure that they are the ones who made the world what it is now?"
"Not sure, but...it should be close to ten."
Li Qi looked up at the sky.
The sky set up by the LCD screen shows the appearance of blue sky and white clouds, giving people the illusion that they are still living in a normal era.
But Li Qi's eyesight was very good. The particles on the LCD screen and the unnatural light projected on it only made Li Qi feel that something was wrong.
So he didn't look at it for long, and quickly looked away, thinking about the Antiquities Association.
I have heard people say before that the fundamental reason for the end of the world is that the ancient monuments will do something wrong in the ancient ruins, which will trigger the end of the world.
Zhao Hong even contacted Zhang Fengyun for this purpose, hoping that she could take Li Qi to take refuge with him.
At that time, Li Qi also thought that the monument was not intentional.
After all, who wants the end of the world to come?
It is better to live in a peaceful era than to be the one in power in the freezing end of the world, not to mention that the people of the Monuments Society themselves are powerful people. Once the end of the world comes, their power will shrink.
It's impossible for normal people to do this.
But now...
Nuclear bombs, viruses, and global blackouts are coming one after another, and it is certain that they are all related to monuments.
This makes people wonder whether the end of the world was part of their plan from the beginning.
They want to do something, so they drag people all over the world into the water, regardless of the loss of life.
This is what Li Qi wants to figure out now.
Compared to the Light Chasing Society in the foggy world, the existence of the Ancient Ruins Society is probably really anti-human.
Li Qi felt that the ancient ruins would be behind the scenes, and Wu Miao had similar thoughts to Li Qi.
In his opinion, if an organization really has no problems, then he does not need to hide and cover up.
And now the monument will be wiped out along with its own existence and all related data, which is enough to prove that they have bad intentions.
Even if we take a step back and say that the end of the world has nothing to do with them, they are always responsible for the nuclear bombs and viruses, and even the blackout is inseparable from them.
These alone are enough to convict them of crimes against humanity!
So after thinking about it for a while, Wu Miao said to Li Qi:
"After that, I will contact the supernatural departments of other countries and issue a wanted order for this organization. Before that... you can read more information about ancient ruins and have a general impression of the ancient ruins. When the time comes, you can also enter the ancient ruins. It would be less trouble.”
With such a big thing happening in the world, the exploration of historical sites must be put on hold for the time being.
And now there are no extra manpower to explore ancient ruins, so before that, Li Qi became an idle worker with a lot of free time.
Wu Miao's suggestion to Li Qi was to read more information about ancient ruins. Li Qi agreed and planned to accept Wu Miao's suggestion and look for some information.
…
The monument was first discovered in the last century.
Its location is in America, but it was not taken seriously by others at the time, because through testing with dating instruments, everyone found that the building was only built thirty or forty years ago.
It was not until decades later that people finally started to pay attention to it when they were retested and found that the year of establishment was still only thirty or forty years old.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Later, due to the activities of major archaeologists and unknown organizations, more than 20 ruins were discovered around the world.
But in fact, everyone concludes that there are only twelve truly important monuments.
Because only among these twelve monuments, there is a creation that looks like a door.
Then around 2005, someone touched the door for unknown reasons, and the strange object was born. Only then did all countries really pay attention to the monument with twelve doors.
They recorded the information on these doors and monuments, and tried to find the reasons for the birth of the strange objects.
It's just that because countries are wary of each other and unknown organizations are interfering, everyone cannot exchange the information they have obtained.
China only has the authority to explore and investigate two monuments, then two in the United States, two in the Soviet Union, one in each of the two major powers in the European Union, and Japan has one in its territory, so it is also qualified to explore the monuments.
Among the remaining five, three are public monuments, located in Africa, Australia, and near Southeast Asia.
The last two are located on offshore islands and are occupied by unknown organizations.
Originally, everyone was exploring the ancient monuments in peace, but the organization whose name was no longer known did something, causing twelve major monuments to collapse one after another, and then came the day of darkness.
China originally wanted to restart the exploration of ancient ruins to find out what caused the Dark Day.
However, every time when something is about to take action, something unexpected happens within the territory.
Either the pollution was spreading, or someone was holding strange objects to act strangely. This dragged on until the end of the world, and China failed to restart the investigation of historical sites.
As for after the end, China will have even more headaches.
The pollution within the territory, the post-disaster reconstruction work in various cities, and the three consecutive attacks of nuclear bombs, viruses, and blackouts some time ago.
To this day, China is still undergoing reconstruction work, and the exploration of historical sites has been repeatedly postponed.
Li Qi looked through the relevant information on these monuments and looked at the photos above.
The photo seemed to be damaged, and most of the images inside were blurred. Li Qi guessed that this was due to the impact of the collapse of the ruins, and that there was an unknown force affecting the previous records.
However, judging from the remaining photos, the words engraved on the 'doors' of these monuments seem to be the same as the words on the stone tablets Li Qi saw in the rain forest.
But if this is the case, then the exploration team of the Alien Management Bureau will not be unable to recognize the writing on it.
Li Qi didn't know whether it was because the characters in each monument were different, or because there was something that made people who had seen the monuments gradually forget the knowledge inside the monuments.
Looking at the damage and blur in the photo, Li Qi felt it should be the latter.
Then looking at the information again, Li Qi was silent for a moment and wrote the number 'twelve' on the side.
There will be twelve stars in the monuments, and China has the Twelve Golden Immortals left over from the previous civilization.
Today there are twelve major monuments with gates.
Li Qi felt that the number twelve should have special meaning in this world.
Otherwise, it would not be such a coincidence that several important events encountered one after another are all numbered with "twelve".
I just don’t know what this number means.
But when it came to the Twelve Golden Immortals, Li Qi turned his attention to the ink painting scroll he had put aside.
The ink scroll is stretched out, 1.2 meters wide and 3.6 meters long. On it are twelve 'immortals' wearing different clothes from left to right.
Among them, Zhu Xingyuan of Wenxian Sect ranked first.
The remaining eleven people, five men and six women, are all the proud sons of various sects in the civilization of cultivating immortals.
Li Qi looked at them, wondering if it was his own illusion. He felt that these 'immortals' were also looking at him.
After being silent for a while, Li Qi put his hand on the calligraphy and painting, and then used the observation method taught by Ye Yue to look at the regular lines above.
Finally, he took out a palm-sized doll, injected part of his soul into it, and used spiritual power to make the soul grow and grow, and then placed the doll on top of the calligraphy and painting.
This doll was a trial piece that Li Qi used to transfer the price.
Li Qi calls it a 'stand-in doll'.
