Chapter 167 Weird Diary (4k)

Moon's knowledge of the war was limited to what was mentioned in the book.

But even so, the people who compiled the textbooks deliberately wrote a sentence in the history books that needed to be pragmatic:
This war, which affected the entire civilization, broke out in a way that is still incomprehensible.

This is exactly the direction that Moon wants to verify.

After consulting the management AI at the entrance of the public library, Moon planned the general direction.

According to the pocket watch, he should have an afternoon and evening left.

Hope that's enough.

As Moon was thinking, a mountain of books slowly piled up in a corner of the library.

This aroused the curiosity of people passing by.

But everyone was very tactful and polite. They just stopped and stared for a moment before leaving.

Only Moon, who was hidden by the hill, frowned even more.

First of all, the First World War of the Human Alliance originated in the year 2155 of the lunar calendar.

The historical changes in the Human League and in Moon's hometown are almost the same.

But the biggest difference is that during the 20th century of the Human Rights Movement, there was no world war, when global trade gradually developed and geopolitics was on the verge of bankruptcy.

The leaders at the time chose to exercise restraint, thus avoiding the First and Second Wars that took place in Moon's hometown.

It was not until the development of nuclear energy and the emergence of weapons of mass destruction that the signs of war were further curbed.

According to the information that Moon found, during the period from the 20th century to the 21st century and even the first half of the 22nd century of the Human League, many people felt that a world war was simply impossible.

Because everyone knows that with current technology, if a world war breaks out it will only be a nuclear war.

This was not only the perception of ordinary people, but also the judgment of many senior officials at that time.

So when the first nuclear warhead was launched, many countries thought it was a false alarm or even a mistake.

They even maintained an almost abnormal restraint for this purpose. Until the nuclear warhead completely landed, they were still asking the other side to detonate the intercontinental missile that failed to be intercepted to avoid a full-scale war.

But the result was that the nuclear bomb was successfully detonated in the center of a super-large city with a population of up to 30 million.

At this point, the nuclear war has completely begun.

The war lasted for fifty years, until the year 2206 in the lunar calendar, when the remaining people began to rebuild their civilization under the leadership of ten large organizations that could barely be considered countries.

The leaders of these ten large forces later became the head organization of the Human Alliance - the Council of Ten.

And this year was used as the beginning of a new calendar.

It took about sixty years of reconstruction before people managed to clear about 166% of the surface as habitable area. Until now, in the th year of the new calendar, the habitable area has only reached %.

The remaining 30% are heavily polluted areas that even the Human Alliance, which has made another leap in technology, does not know how to deal with.

There is lethal nuclear radiation that can last for at least tens of thousands of years, and there are genetic viruses that were extremely powerful before the war and have now evolved into something unknown. In front of these things, the self-defense systems that are still functioning and cannot distinguish between friend and foe are nothing but child's play.

And I also heard that the roaming AI that was declared completely dead by the Human Alliance is still hiding there.

These had nothing to do with what Moon wanted to investigate.

But Moon saw a record in the diary of a cleaner that really caught his attention:

On March 89, 3, I was hired by the Eastern Corps and headed to Greenland, one of the three most polluted regions.

To be honest, I don't want to go there. I've never heard that the stones on the ground might still contain highly active genetic viruses.

Speaking of genetic viruses, I remember when I was a child I saw with my own eyes a scavenger wearing a level 3 chemical protective suit who died just because he accidentally cut his gloves in a lightly contaminated area.

My God, I never saw anyone die like that.

Or, it was just a pool of water. I really don't know why those people before the war studied these crazy viruses?
It hasn't become inactive after all these years!
Not to mention all kinds of radiation and mutated animals.

However, the price they offered was too tempting: a permanent green card in the capital!

For my family, I should give it a try.

On April 89, 4, everything went smoothly. I have been a cleaner for many years, but it has never been so smooth.

I think this is all thanks to the huge investment made by the Eastern Corps.

My God, there are more than 300,000 of them, not counting us cleaners.

It seems that the people above really want to clean up this polluted area completely.

I have to say sorry, I thought they were just doing it for votes.

If that's the case, I'd be willing to take it seriously.

After all, it seems that no one has forgotten the words "for the sake of human union"!

Up to this point, it’s still very normal diary and complaints.

But as Moon flipped through the pages, he didn't pay much attention at first, but soon he came across some details that made him very concerned:
On May 89, 5, because I did a good job, I was assigned to a tent near that group of officers. It was good here because the filtration system here was the most advanced on the front line.

However, I heard something very strange when I was using the toilet.

It seemed to be an officer, but the voice was unfamiliar, not like someone from our camp.

But I know the other person who was talking to him. He is the person in charge of our camp, and his military rank is lieutenant colonel!

They said the compass was broken and the ritual was useless.

I can understand the compass, but what is the ritual?
Could it be those ghostly things in the comic books?
My God, the officers of the People's Liberation Army actually believed this?
At the beginning, Moon became interested the moment he saw this place.

The Human Union is a highly developed technological society.

They were at least two hundred years ahead of Moon's hometown, and they also fought a nuclear war, if we count the technological leap forward forced by the war.

That may be more than three hundred years.

But it was in this human connection that Moon saw obvious mystical elements.

Of course, this may be a superstition of a small number of people. After all, the wasteland era has turned many people into barbarians. And these barbarians have also passed on such superstitions to their descendants.

However, the person who spoke was a lieutenant colonel, a lieutenant colonel in charge of a front-line camp.

So this is most likely not his personal approach, but the approach of the entire system.

As Moon continued to read, he discovered more details that surprised him.
-
On July 89, 7, we went deeper than ever before.

It was also at this time that I saw something in the camp that really surprised me - ammunition.

A very abnormal quantity and quality of arms.

To deal with possible mutated monsters and the self-defense system that is still in operation.

It is normal for the cleanup team to bring weapons or even the army. Moreover, this is the most polluted region of Greenland. But, I swear, the weapons they brought are too exaggerated. It doesn't look like they are here for cleaning. It looks like they are here to fight?!

If you think about it carefully, are the more than 300,000 people they brought with them really the army's own cleanup team?
After all, if that's the case, why hire us?
Moon unconsciously straightened his sitting posture.

Moon's inspiration told him that this diary might be a huge breakthrough! ——
On August 89, 8, our cleanup work encountered a huge obstacle. The complex pollution in front was too strong.

Our best cleaning robot died within ten minutes of being put into operation!
My God, I dare say that even if I wear the heaviest and best chemical protective suit, I will die if I dare to get within ten kilometers of that place!
I think this is the end. The only solution to this super-polluted area is to rely on time and credit points.

But the place I treated in this way before was far worse than this one. It took almost eleven years, and this one, maybe a hundred years?

Also, the days of relying on Qingfu Ning and Kangfu Ning for food are really hard, but fortunately it should be over soon.

On September 89, 9, we were all ready to evacuate, but what did those guys bring?
Tunnel boring machine! It's the giant one made by Heather Group!
Oh my God, are they trying to go through underground?
Well, I've seen similar things before, and if you go deep underground, you can create a highway that goes straight through the contaminated area.

But that was the method used in the past to connect the two regions.

What is this used for here? There are no cities around Greenland!
Are they trying to get something in the core area?

In that case, why not send planes to break through from high altitude?
On September 89, 9, we were restricted from traveling, and although our supplies had doubled, everyone felt that the situation was not good.

Because we were not even allowed to leave our room.

On September 89, 9, I had some connections through my past relationships, and I was going to go to the tunnel to have a look. Or should I go through the tunnel to have a look?

I have to go check it out, God, I still remember what happened last night.

Explosion, a very terrible explosion, right over there in the contaminated area!

The light even illuminated the entire sky.

And I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but I always feel like I hear a lot of people wailing?
I couldn't sleep the whole night, it was horrible.

If I don't understand what happened, I will remember this for the rest of my life.

Maybe I scared myself, and it might just be that they triggered the defense AI over there.

But if that was the case, why could I hear wailing from such a long distance?
On September 89, 9, I was arrested and my approach was not working.

Damn it! There have been explosions over there every day these past few days, day and night!
On October 89, 10, things took a turn for the better and we were asked to transfer the wounded.

Ah, they really were fighting something over there.

October 89, 10. I haven't written in my diary for two days. This is not like me, but I can't help it. It's too horrible.

There were so many dead people, all of them fully armed professional soldiers.

And I have never seen such a way of death. Why are there so many extra hands, feet and even heads on the dead body?

The soldiers said it was a genetic virus.

I also think they are right. After all, many deformed children poisoned by genetic weapons look like this.

Just, just, I swear I didn't see it wrong.

That gun, that gun that was embedded in that kid, it, it had a hand growing out of it?!
Still moving?!

I even remember the touch of that hand holding mine.

No, I'm going to vomit.
-
Seeing this, Moon became extremely solemn.

According to the pictures and various explanations on the Internet, genetic weapons can indeed cause a condition similar to flesh and blood contamination.

However, no matter how perverted the genetic weapons are, it is obviously impossible to make metal grow flesh and blood!
As for this situation, Moon has memories.

The flesh and blood pollution caused by the Life Path, Plague Path and other things will make metal grow flesh and blood.

There is no need for special means to create pollution. Similar things can happen just by a mortal looking directly at a higher being.

For example, Ansha. If Ansha had not given immunity to Morn and others, he might have turned into light with just one look at Ansha.

This happened in the 89th year of the new calendar, and it seems that this thing should have appeared even earlier.

However, the most recent time travelers appeared five years ago.

This means that if this diary is reliable, then the two worlds came into contact at least 77 years ago.

And the top leaders of the People’s Federation must be aware of this matter.

Even, that war might be related to all this?
after all
Moon picked up a few more books, which were written by several great masters.

They all clearly mentioned one point in the book, that is, the war might be unavoidable based on the development trend, but it should definitely not have broken out at that time.

One of the mathematical geniuses even said categorically that according to the grand unified model he created, the war was absolutely unavoidable, but it would occur between eighty and one hundred and twenty years after that time point.

It goes against science to do it so many years in advance.

At the same time, a financial expert also clearly stated that according to his research on the literature at that time, not only was there no financial crisis during that period, there were not even any factors that could cause an economic downturn.

Because room-temperature superconductivity had just been discovered at that time, all related fields were making great leaps forward and would foreseeably promote the progress of civilization. There was no reason to waste time and destroy the world.

Going to war is against human nature.

So in this way, something that goes against both science and human nature happened.

Neither scientists nor historians can explain this properly.

And now, Moon has an answer that only needs key evidence.

After glancing at the diary in his hand, Moon turned to the next page.

But the content that followed made Moon frown deeply.

It was blackened.

Not just the last page, but all the content after that was blacked out.

After carefully reading it several times, Moon finally confirmed this.

There was nothing extra for him.

Unwilling to give up, Moon went to find the supervisory AI again.

But the other party's answer was:

"I'm sorry sir, but this is what the original version looked like."

“Can I see the original version?”

"I'm sorry, but according to Article 23 of the Cultural Relics Protection Law I can't do that, sir."

"Can I buy the manuscript, then?"

"According to your contribution to the Human Rights Society, you can take it away directly."

　There will be more in a while
