The Death List Novel - Chapter 2
Chapter 2 Federal District 91
After exiting the teleportation cabin, Qin Lun was transferred to a brightly sealed room. The four walls of the room were made of steel plates. The entire room was empty, without any furnishings. Only the four corners above had rows of holes the size of thumbs.
Not long after Qin Lun entered the room, the holes spat out thin white smoke that spread throughout the room.
Poison gas, am I going to die? Qin Lun’s mind was dizzy, and for the first time, a trace of fluctuation flashed in his clear and pure eyes.
“Bang!” Soon, the sound of the steam trap falling to the ground rang out in the room.
…
Huaxia District Northeast Road, Great Xing’an Mountains, Federal Military Region 91.
Before the unification of the Union, there were many mysteries and mysteries in human history, such as the Bermuda Triangle, the Tungus explosion, the Death Hill Incident in India and so on.
However, with the development of human technology, these mysteries and mysteries were gradually solved by future generations. At present, there are few puzzles left in the human federation, and District 91 of the Federation Army is such a mysterious place.
Hundreds of years ago, a moderate explosion occurred in the primeval forest of the Greater Xing’an Mountains in the northeast of China, which was then the superpower of the human world. Afterwards, the Chinese military sealed off the area, declaring that it was an earthquake disaster.
After the peaceful reunification of the human federation, the federal military established 91 districts in the region and began to secretly gather the elite of human scientists.
The explosion hundreds of years ago did not cause much damage. It was only a few hundred meters in diameter and was in the shape of a sphere. Cliffs and missing parts of the ground are like smooth sunken mirrors, crystallizing rocks and soil. What was shocking was that there were unstable spatial and temporal cracks in the explosive spherical region.
These spatial and temporal cracks were large and small. Small cracks appeared very frequently, but they only existed for a few hundred thousand milliseconds. Spatial and temporal rifts that were large to a certain extent would occur for several years or even decades. Depending on the surrounding energy supply, they could last for a few seconds to a few minutes.
Hundreds of years ago, limited by technology and strength, China was unable to obtain much practical results in Area 91, while the unified human federation had enough scientific strength to study the physical phenomena of space-time rifts. On an accidental expedition, federal scientists used magnetic light to obtain a small patch of mysterious metal from the crack.
This piece of metal was made up of unknown elements. Not only was it as light as nothing, but it also performed better at ultra-high and ultra-low temperatures than the best aerospace materials in the Federation at the time. At the same time, it is a kind of memory metal that can repair itself to a certain extent. With this piece of metal, the human federation has made several major breakthroughs in aerospace and military science and technology.
Having tasted the sweetness, the Human Federation began to increase its investment in District 91, and even wanted to send military personnel into the spatial rift. Scientists first sent a husky into a crack, and the much-anticipated pet show turned into a murder. The puppy’s head, which had pierced through the spatial rift, seemed to have been cut by a guillotine and completely disappeared.
However, failure did not frighten the dedicated federal scientists. In one experiment, they finally sent a team of federal soldiers and scientists into the largest and most stable spatial rift so far and successfully retrieved the only survivor among them.
The scientist successfully brought back three items from the spatial rift: a medieval teapot, the skeletal remains of an alien creature, and a small teleportation device.
Ignoring the medieval teapot, the skeletal remains of alien creatures allowed the Federation’s biotechnology to advance by leaps and bounds, finally allowing for true amputated limb regeneration. As for the small space transporter, it was the core of the current Federation Heavenly Orbit Transfer technology.
One could imagine how important District 91 was to the Human Federation. However, the Federation hero who had successfully returned from the spatial rift had died in his head the instant he returned, becoming a vegetable. Strictly speaking, an entire group of 32 federal elites had been annihilated, and none of them had returned to the human world alive with a clear mind.
In the two hundred years since then, no large and stable spatial-temporal rift like the previous one had appeared in District 91. Moreover, federal scientists had discovered that the spatial and temporal phenomena in the explosive region were slowly declining. Large spatial and temporal rifts were appearing more and more frequently. Now, it would only appear once every ten years, and the duration of the rifts was also rapidly decreasing.
In other words, the spherical space-time phenomenon would most likely completely disappear at a certain point in time. At the same time, the risk of sending humans into the space-time rift was also increasing with the passage of time.
Most of the humans who entered the spatial rift would be directly cut into powder by the spatial turbulence. Although a small number of people successfully entered the space-time rift, because the rift existed for too short a time, they were basically lost on the other side of the rift.
Only a very small number of lucky ones were able to withdraw from the spatial rift and return in time. However, these people all died of brain damage when they returned. They became vegetables, and the items they brought back were all strange. There weren’t many things that were truly valuable.
Today, District 91 no longer sends scientists and federal soldiers to the rift in time and space. Instead, it lets prisoners on death row around the world carry out this dangerous work. Before these prisoners entered the crack, they would be told a beautiful fairy tale.
If they succeeded in returning from the spatial rift, he would be granted a federal pardon, exempted from the death penalty and hard labour, and would begin his life in a new capacity. Of course, as a vegetable, he started a new life in the hospital bed!
The whole 91 districts was half-buried underground, and it was a large building with a niche structure. The box-shaped roof of the niche was connected to the spherical area where the explosion occurred hundreds of years ago.
The diameter of this spherical area reached several hundred meters. The air rippled like water from time to time. The tiny free particles lit up and extinguished as they flew in the air like electric arcs.
“Doctor, how are the preparations going?”
At this time, in the control center of District 91, a federal soldier who looked like a general looked at the surveillance screen and asked the chief engineer of the base.
“According to Superbrain’s calculations, the spatial rift will only appear once every 17 years. The size of the rift is still uncertain, but it should be enough for an adult to pass through.” The gray-haired doctor said nervously, “The free particles accelerated their trajectory three days ago. If they can be maintained, there is a high chance that a spatial rift will appear in the next few days!”
…
In a certain medical room in District 91, Qin Lun’s eyelids trembled slightly and he slowly opened his eyes. The bright light caused the murderer to squint his eyes slightly. As his pupils contracted, his vision became clearer.
“Clang!” Just as Qin Lun was about to sit up, a huge feeling of restraint came from his four limbs and waist. He tilted his head slightly and found himself lying on a simple stretcher bed. The corner of his eyes revealed a strong leather cord around his wrist. He was very familiar with this kind of pizza. He had already been tied up countless times in a mental hospital.
“You’re awake!” A gentle voice sounded in the prisoner’s ears.
Qin Lun turned around and saw a girl in a white coat and a nurse’s hat walking towards him.
The girl dressed as a nurse seemed to be under age. Her pink round face was a little baby fat, her skin was tender, her white eyes were bright, and a few freckles on her cheeks gave her a cute look.
In terms of appearance, the young girl could only be considered average. However, the pair of giant balls on her chest, which held her white coat high and had a G-cup, gave her a lot of points. Giant Boy Beauty ~ Breast! Qin Lun suddenly understood that a pair of murder weapons had developed like this. The young girl was obviously already an adult, but she only had a baby face.
“Xiaolian, don’t talk to him. This person is very dangerous!” A cold female voice suddenly came from behind the nurse.
“Sorry, Sister Hu Fei!” Xiaolian stuck out his sweet tongue at the prisoner and whispered, “Don’t be afraid. We need to give you a medical examination!”
“Duh, duh, duh!” Behind Xiao Lian came the pacing sound of high heels, and an expressionless beauty appeared in the prisoner’s field of vision.
Qin Lun was transferred to a psychiatric hospital at the age of twelve, transferred to a juvenile detention center at the age of fifteen, and imprisoned in Handan Serious Prison at the age of sixteen. He had very little contact with the outside world. The knowledge and aesthetics in his mind only lingered on books. Even so, the murderer was the first to realize that the woman in front of him should be a stunning beauty.
The woman had a delicate melon-seeded face, and her skin was as smooth as satin. Although a pair of phoenix eyes weren’t as big as Xiaolian’s, they flowed under her long eyelashes, rippling with jade waves, inadvertently revealing a trace of seductiveness. However, her slightly raised eyebrows and ice-cold face gave her a cold and gorgeous temperament that kept people away from her.
This stunning beauty, whom Nurse Xiaolian called Sister Hu Fei, should be a female doctor. With the crisp sound of high heels, she quickly arrived at the stretcher bed. Although the prisoner was unable to see the beauty’s lower body due to her vision, she was half a head taller than Little Lotus, so her figure should be of a taller type.
Qin Lun’s eyes darkened. The beautiful doctor bent down to block the light above the stretcher bed. A catkin pressed down on his eyelids and rolled them up. A faint fragrance seeped into his nose and the prisoner rolled his eyes slightly. He noticed that there was a white work token pinned to the pocket of the white coat. The words “Hu Fei” written on it should be the name of this stunning beauty.
Qin Lun rolled his eyes again. Through the lead of the white coat, he could vaguely see a pair of curved mountain peaks and the pink and white cleavage in the middle.
Hu Fei quickly noticed the direction of the prisoner’s gaze, and a trace of anger flashed through her cold phoenix eyes.
“Xiaolian, give him a tranquilizer!”
“But … Sister Hu Fei, the tranquilizer will cause the test results to deviate!” Xiaolian looked worriedly at the prisoner on the stretcher.
“It doesn’t matter, as long as he doesn’t have any infectious diseases or terminal illnesses!” Hu Fei waved her hand coldly.
“How pitiful! You seem to have angered Sister Hu Fei!” Little Lotus nodded her lips and injected an injection into the prisoner’s arm with an apologetic expression.
Qin Lun felt as if he had been sunk into an icy lake. Everything around him started to become unreal. The voice in his ear was hazy, as if it came from a very far away place. A wave of drowsiness assaulted his heart …
