Jiang Zhi couldn't stand it any longer and said to the two of them, "Wait outside for a while, I'll arrange another group."
After the two left, Jiang Zhi immediately took out the gold brick and smashed it hard into the crack.
With Jiang Zhi's anger boost, the gold brick smashed a huge hole in the door.
Yan Zhi and Wang Wan heard a heavy thud on the door in the passageway outside, and they looked at each other in surprise.
"Is the boss so angry that he's banging on the door? Doesn't it hurt?"
Yan Zhi slapped Wang Wan on the shoulder: "Stop talking nonsense. The boss isn't as stupid as you."
Wang Wanbao felt wronged.
"Alright, come in." Jiang Zhi stuffed the gold brick into her pocket; the door in front of her had been smashed to pieces, shattered into pieces.
As Wang Wan and Yan Zhi entered, they saw Jiang Zhi clapping her hands and then stepping inside.
The ground was littered with broken scrap metal.
wow, how did they do that?
Even a detonator couldn't blow this door open, but Jiang Zhi smashed it open.
Unexpectedly, his elbow bumped into Wang Wan, who immediately suppressed his curiosity and followed behind.
Just as Wang Wan had described, there was an elevator and a staircase inside. Not knowing if there was oxygen downstairs, Jiang Zhi threw a torch down. Seeing that the torch didn't go out, the three of them dared to go down the stairs.
"If you feel any difficulty breathing, get out immediately." After saying this, Jiang Zhi went inside first.
There's another door below the fourth floor.
Jiang Zhi sighed silently.
"I really don't know what to say about those researchers. We haven't seen any of their work, but they've set up one barrier after another. No wonder the threshold for research is so high, and there are so many fake experts out there," Wang Wan muttered.
Jiang Zhi focused her spiritual energy on her foot and kicked the door open, startling Wang Wan so much that he jumped back like a monkey.
"This...this..."
"This door isn't thick, and it wasn't closed properly at all." Yan Zhi rolled his eyes helplessly.
Jiang Zhi glanced back and then snatched the torch from Wang Wan's hand.
"Let's split up."
"Okay."
Wang Wan was in charge of taking photos and recording information, while Jiang Zhi and Yan Zhi searched for materials.
The information Zhang Zhaohe requested was related to the heterogeneous energy before the apocalypse. Zhang Zhaohe had previously stated that superpowered individuals existed in this world, so she had already conducted research in this area.
Jiang Zhi had lived an ordinary life for over twenty years, and she had always considered all of this as nonsense, just plots in movies, until after the apocalypse...
How did superpowers appear? All the information Zhang Zhaohe gave her pointed to one reason: the intervention of heterogeneous energy. But where did this energy come from? Jiang Zhi roughly understood why Zhang Zhaohe and his research team had assigned this task.
Since that's the case, let her learn about these things first.
The laboratory occupied the four underground floors of the entire financial building, its area comparable to a football field—it was enormous. Jiang Zhi saw the laboratory's layout on the wall, with four escape routes along the edge. The interior included meeting areas, offices, experimental areas, and warehouses.
Jiang Zhi quietly took out an oxygen content measuring device and secretly measured the oxygen content in the air.
With an oxygen content of 17%, there's no risk of suffocation, so the ventilation system must still be running. Some well-designed ventilation systems don't even require electricity.
After packing up the machine, Jiang Zhi carried the gold bricks and walked towards the experimental area.
The walls of the experimental area were covered with a pile of papers, all of which contained data, results, or progress reports on tasks.
Jiang Zhi couldn't understand some of the technical parts either.
There were also some professional foreign language papers and some expensive instruments, all of which were beyond Jiang Zhi's comprehension.
I should have gone into research instead of art.
After rummaging through drawers and cabinets, Jiang Zhi found nothing, but she did manage to take away quite a few instruments.
"Boss, we've searched everywhere, but we still can't find the document about heterogeneous energy. Could it be that there isn't a document here at all?" Wang Wan even moved the cabinets to check, but still couldn't find the so-called document. Moreover, this laboratory doesn't have any so-called secret room.
Jiang Zhi said, "We broke down the door to get in just now, and that passage wasn't damaged. Check the other escape routes for any signs of damage."
"good."
The other three escape routes showed no signs of damage. The three gathered together, carefully considering whether they had overlooked anything.
"We've only pried open the floor tiles." Jiang Zhi was silent for a moment, then tapped the floor tiles with the knife in her hand.
The floor tiles made a hollow sound.
The three of them immediately stood up from the ground. Jiang Zhi said, "Pry it open."
Unbeknownst to them, the knife was inserted into the crack between the bricks, and with a little force, the floor tile was pried open. Sure enough, a vacuum-sealed file bag was placed under the one-square-meter floor tile.
Jiang Zhi picked up the items and threw them on the table; there was also an iron box buried under the briefcase.
The file package was full of paper documents, while the metal box contained two external hard drives.
“This is it.” Jiang Zhi said after reading the document. “It says that heterogeneous energy is involved. This kind of energy was first proposed by scientists from the United States. Some of our North and South Pole expedition teams have also detected it. Later, it was the expedition team stationed near the equator… As for who discovered it first, we don’t know. The source of this energy is very complex. It could be underground, or it could be outer space. There are also speculations that it is related to aliens.”
"Wow, this is so cool! So cool that billions of people on Earth will be wiped out. Will we end up like the dinosaurs? As the species that ruled the Earth, we will be wiped out and go extinct."
"Humans have only existed on Earth for 30 million years, while Earth has existed for 4.5 billion years. I finally understand what it means to be a drop in the ocean."
Jiang Zhi nodded. Wang Wan's words made a lot of sense; she had guessed the same thing before.
"So, do aliens really exist?" Yan Zhi asked.
“I don’t know. Zhang Zhaohe told me before that there were humans before humans.” Jiang Zhi closed the iron box and said, “Dinosaurs appeared 240 million years ago and died out 65 million years ago.”
"If this is true... then we will disappear like the dinosaurs and become fossils? This is the end of the world, the end of humanity, no, the end of all species in this era of Earth."
"All human actions that harm nature will harm humanity itself."
"The cleansing of the earth has nothing to do with human development."
Is there really no way to turn things around?
"It's so hopeless. All our efforts now are just leading to our demise." Wang Wan squatted on the ground, hardly believing what these people who were lucky enough to survive were pursuing.
Listening to their conversation, Jiang Zhi lowered her head and chuckled: "Don't worry, the disaster on Earth won't happen overnight. Maybe we'll live to see humanity die out before we're all gone."
"That's true. It took millions of years for the dinosaurs to go extinct. Given the current harsh environment, even if I work hard, it will be over in thirty or forty years at most."
