Divine Tribulation of the Star Civilization - Chapter Extra 2. The Heart of Light Under the Dark Curtain (2)

[Extra 2. The Heart of Light Under the Dark Curtain (2)]

Joyner Faith is a heart-stirring woman with indescribable beauty and temperament, no matter in any era.

At that time, she had many suitors. The eyes are light and charming, and the gaze is like a look of autumn.

Walking on the street, even if she doesn’t have amazing tricks, she can still make everyone stare. No one doesn’t like her. If she does, it must be a blind person who can’t see.

From her shyness and reserve as a girl, with a hint of cute fear in her eyes; to her graceful figure and bright face as an adult…

In fact, Joyner’s innermost qualities are often ignored by people – she has a broad mind and a unique personality. Pampered, not overbearing. He is full of perseverance and unyielding heart, he is very calm when faced with problems, and his expression remains unchanged even if the mountain collapses.

This kind of character is the prerequisite for her to be selected as a military experimental subject. Of course, for her, there was another reason, but she never told anyone else.

Now, her body and face were covered with dirt. She only remembered that every time she was exhausted and sleepy at the same time, her hands and feet were still moving mechanically—climbing hard and climbing up.

It seemed that the only thing left in her life was “climbing”.

When she felt really tired, she tied her body tightly to the hanging ladder.

Hold each other’s hands tightly, take a nap, relax for a while, and regain some strength.

The hanging ladders are made of hard alloy. Joyner doesn’t know how long she has been asleep, but they are still intact and can still be used at least for now.

Along the way, she also encountered several fractures and corrosion spots. Fortunately, there were maintenance wells every few hundred meters, which allowed her to bypass the fractures and find another way out.

And that kind of fracture zone that is several meters high is not a problem for her. She can easily jump on it as long as she has the physical strength.

Joyner clearly knew that she was a genetically modified experimental subject.

As a genetically modified experimental subject, the energy conversion level of the cells in her body is several times that of ordinary people. If necessary, this conversion rate can be instantly increased to more than ten times that of ordinary people. In some extreme cases, even trace amounts of external radiation can be converted into energy.

Her strength, reaction speed, and body’s repair ability are far beyond ordinary people. Small wounds can heal automatically within a few hours, and large wounds can heal within a day.

According to experimental results disclosed by the former military, the consumption of an ordinary person walking upright for 100 kilometers can be less than 16% of that of an ordinary person under Joyner’s perfect control of body functions.

The explosive power and agility of genetically modified bodies are even more amazing. Correspondingly, the body’s energy metabolism level is also directly proportional, which is also amazing.

Fortunately, the advanced technology of pre-civilization allowed her to overcome this contradiction. The intervention of some powerful genes helped her have perfect dynamic development and suppress various adverse reactions.

The genetic modification experiment made her body like a furnace, and the energy control accuracy and conversion efficiency of the cells became more efficient.

This gave her a steely body. As resolute as her strong character is, it cannot be easily destroyed.

For her, the speed of physical recovery at this time is related to whether she can successfully reach the ground. Hungry was okay, but the most unbearable thing was the panic caused by lack of water.

Before climbing, she caught several small rat-like creatures and ate them whole, including their skins and flesh.

The blood of rats didn’t taste good, and the meat didn’t have any flavor, but she knew that it was all nutrients!

The long-lost protein was converted into energy in her stomach, which made her feel better. The energy added was enough for her to go without eating for several days.

In the deepest part of the underground river, she collected a little bit of clean water and filled it with three bags.

, due to carelessness during the climb, two bags were dropped. As a result, before the first day of climbing was over, she drank all the remaining half of the bag.

The bottom layer of the huge deep well is the experimental base. I don’t know how many meters above the ground it is. Joyner only remembered that she and the other experimenters took the high-speed elevator down, which took dozens of minutes.

Now the surrounding area is full of desolation. The advanced technology of the past has long been gone, and there is no energy supply. The surrounding area is completely dark.

Fortunately, Joyner’s eyes had already adapted to the dark environment and could see the direction clearly, which was not a big problem for the climbing operation. She even learned to estimate the distance from the ground exit through the speed and size of air flow, sound echolocation and other means.

The next day, or the third day, when Joyner began to feel thirsty, she finally tasted the rain of this era.

The taste of rainwater is not pleasant. It is so sour in the mouth that it is completely difficult to swallow.

When the first drop of water fell on her head, she was so thirsty that she immediately opened her mouth and looked up to the sky to wait. This lasted for nearly ten minutes.

In fact, when Joyner took her first sip of rainwater, she already felt a slight discomfort, but she didn’t care at that time.

After drinking some more, she noticed something strange about the rain, and soon felt uncomfortable in her throat, with burning and itching appearing at the same time. Then the feeling intensified, causing nausea and severe pain in her body.

Half an hour later, she began to retch violently, almost vomiting all the acidic water in her stomach.

Only then did she realize that the rainwater today was actually polluted!

At that time, she regretted not leaving a container. Because that way, at least she could drink her own urine to quench her thirst. And in order to survive, she wouldn’t care about such a thing at all.

A few days later, when irresistible fatigue hit her again, her eyelids became extremely heavy, and she couldn’t help but close her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

She was really too tired. For some reason, she was vaguely recalling what happened before she entered the hibernation cabin.

In a huge facility buried deep underground, the “Planetary Council” military held the briefest press conference in history. No experts were present that time, and no heavyweight media were even invited. The dozen or so “Planetary Council” bosses pretended to be calm and sat calmly in the back row with indifferent expressions on their faces.

After the press conference began, in front of the podium, a young military spokesman stood upright and slowly raised his head.

He held his hands on the edge of the podium, looked straight, spoke quickly, and mechanically read a manuscript he had written long ago.

The content of the manuscript is about the phenomenon of “disaster”. It is a few hundred words short and uses almost all imaginable words to describe disasters: such as cosmic radiation, stellar flares, changes in the earth’s axis, and the resulting earthquakes, volcanoes, Tsunamis, climate anomalies, and possible biological mutations…

In these words, there is no explanation of the cause of the “disaster”, which makes people feel confused and filled with fear.

“In the future, may great faith accompany everyone. So, I wish everyone good luck.”

The young spokesperson blessed everyone with a blunt, cold, and plain words. Finally, he walked off the podium with steady steps.

It seemed as if he could do nothing else in his life except reading this manuscript according to the script.

After that moment, everyone seemed to see through it.
