Chapter 59 From the Future

"Okay, Parker, tell me about this place. Where do you think this is?" Chen Ke pointed to the area they were in.

This is a rift basin inside the cliff, with a small group of stone walls that look like the remains of ancient buildings, and a bunch of resurrected Ash soldiers. They are wearing medieval chainmail, but Chen Ke knows nothing about history, so he can't tell which period of equipment they are from.

"I don't know, I thought you would know. Doesn't the Administration have archives for this place? Aren't you always exploring the Great Void?" Parker shook his head.

"Is this the Great Void?!" Chen Ke was stunned.

"You haven't discovered it yet?" Parker couldn't believe it.

Chen Ke looked around excitedly, and what he had taken for granted before now became strange.

Just a second ago, he had always thought that the portal had only sent him to a remote corner of the earth, and he had always regarded the mysterious kingdom under the cliff as an ancient monument that had not been discovered by modern society, but he had never thought that he would actually come to the Great Void.

"I thought you would be used to this kind of place, but you are the same as me... In the first few days, I was also very surprised, curious and scared." Parker said.

"Not every agent has the authority to investigate the Great Void. This is a state secret." Chen Ke lied.

Parker thought Chen Ke made sense and nodded.

Chen Ke turned to ask Parker about the situation in the past few days and the weapon in his hand...

The grenade that Parker threw just now should be a flash bomb used against monsters. It is almost the same as the grenade thrown by Morgan, but the effect is obviously better.

There may be part of the reason for this difference in effect due to the level of the monster itself. Zombie soldiers are definitely not as powerful as contracted demons, that's for sure.

But the problem is that when Chen Ke first met Parker, if he had this weapon, he would have used it long ago.

"Where did you get that grenade from?" Chen Ke asked.

"In a nearby tent..." Parker pointed to a broken wall.

Has anyone been here?

Chen Ke didn't say anything, and immediately stood up and walked towards the broken wall. After going around the back, he found a small triangular tent.

The tent was not big, and could only accommodate three people to rest inside. The zipper door was open. Chen Ke bent down and looked inside. He saw three weapon boxes placed inside, with a gray sleeping bag next to them.

The weapon boxes were all empty. Judging from the shape of the spaces, the three boxes contained a stylish assault rifle, eight grenades, and twelve boxes of bullets.

On the lid of the box, there were three big white letters: H.C.P.

There was a dot in the middle of the letters, which must be the abbreviation of three words. What three words were they? Could it be the S Consortium? Or was it the code name of the Administration's team that specializes in exploring the Great Void?

"Did you take all the weapons?" Chen Ke asked, turning back.

"Not many, actually. I only found more than 30 .45 bullets and three grenades. I didn't see the long gun when I came here." Parker replied.

"So, you could throw grenades in the building at the beginning, why didn't you throw them?" Chen Ke asked back.

"I don't have a hanger for loading grenades. I didn't bring grenades when I first came here. I only took bullets." Parker said.

Chen Ke sighed, but at least he could confirm that the .45 psychic bullet with punishment attribute used by Parker was obtained from here, and it seemed to be more powerful.

The only pity was that no one knew who took the automatic rifle.

Chen Ke searched the tent again, but he didn't find anything useful. Maybe there was some food in the tent at the beginning, and maybe that was how Parker survived.

Chen Ke left the tent disappointed. He thought he could find some clues, but the result was not satisfactory. He felt that he was falling into one mystery after another that could not be justified. Not only conspiracy and trajectory, but also time paradox was now against him.

Near the tent, a small stone well attracted Chen Ke's attention. He walked to the well and looked at the bottom of the dark well. A stream of air hit his face, sending a rotten smell. I don't know how deep the well is.

"Have you gone around? After all, there is an ancient city below, maybe you can find some food." Chen Ke asked indirectly.

"No, no, it's not a good idea to rush around in the void. I've been staying here all the time. Except for the first two days when I was looking for you, I haven't left for the rest of the time." Parker shook his head.

"You are an investigator after all, but you don't even have a little curiosity?" Chen Ke said helplessly.

"Curiosity can sometimes kill you. I'd rather sit here and wait for the next door to open." Parker didn't comment.

"What if no other doors are opened? Are you going to starve to death sitting here?" Chen Ke said.

"You may not believe it... I've been here for so long, and I've never felt hungry or thirsty." Parker said.

Chen Ke was stunned.

"Time here seems to be still. It's never dark... I won't feel thirsty or hungry, but I'll still feel sleepy and tired. In short, if we don't commit suicide, we have unlimited time to wait for rescue..." Parker said.

What Parker said makes sense, especially since Chen Ke can open the portal by himself. When the time comes, he can just find a place to open the door and take Parker out with him. It's great.

"But you have to pay attention to these ashes on the ground. They seem to be alive. A piece of ashes somewhere can turn into a living zombie soldier. I have been changing positions to rest these days, living with two nights of sleep for three days. ..." Parker said.

"These... ashes on the ground, I feel like they are not ordinary dust..." Chen Ke lowered his head and used his feet to dust the ashes on the ground.

It feels like ashes.

Combined with the flying dust flying all over the sky, Chen Ke felt as if a fire had occurred here, burning all living people to ashes.

"There's nothing normal here, Chen Ke. I'm not surprised now. By the way, what day is it now? Did you bring your mobile phone? Mine is out of battery." Parker said.

Chen Ke took out his Nokia E63 and looked at the time, March 23, 2009, 2:27 pm.

No matter what goes wrong with the world, or even with time itself, the electronic counter will not be affected. That's right, Chen Ke has only stayed in this world for less than 24 hours from time traveling to now. To be precise, it's only about fifteen hours.

It’s really super fulfilling…

"23rd, 2:30 pm." Chen Ke said, putting his phone into his pants pocket.

"It's been so long...it's already the 23rd..." Parker said to himself, but then he thought about it and showed a strange expression.

"No, no, show me your phone."

As if Parker wanted to confirm something important, Chen Ke handed him the phone. Parker pressed the button, clicked on the calendar and looked at it for a long time, his brows knitting together.

"March? How is it possible... is your phone broken?" He handed the phone back to Chen Kedao.

"How is it possible? I bought it at Wal-Mart! I bought it less than a day ago!" Chen Ke looked at Parker in surprise. Parker's expression was very strange, as if he had seen something depressing, or in other words, what did he think? Things that I can't even figure out.

"What's wrong, Parker? What went wrong?" Chen Ke asked cautiously.

"Listen to me Chen Ke, I don't know if it's me or this place that has a problem, damn it, but please believe me, I only became an investigator in July this year...I started executing the first one in September. This task...I entered the black box space on October 4th, and came here after the second stack effect...Damn it, Chen Ke, what the hell is going on? Tell me, your phone is broken, it must be your phone! "Parker's voice was trembling, and his eyes were full of helplessness and confusion. Sometimes he crossed his fingers, sometimes he put his hands on his thighs, feeling a little at a loss.

"Calm down... calm down... Parker, listen to me, maybe you remembered it wrong..." Chen Ke was also very surprised when he heard what Parker said.

If Parker wasn't joking, it meant that he was talking to someone from half a year later...
