Weird Apocalypse: Rebirth Starts with Trillions of Ghost Money

Chapter 1388 Claustrophobia (Thanks to the amazing Tide Cool Girl for the generous reward and certif

It must be said that the "black coffin" was sealed very tightly.

The coffin itself was made of a lot of sealing material, the kind that prevents air from getting in.

Nevertheless, it is still as worthless as tofu dregs in the face of innate evil energy.

Chen Mu hadn't investigated beforehand, mainly because he was afraid of damaging it. Now that Ye Changsheng had given his approval, it didn't matter; he would just dismantle it by force!

With a slight exertion of his innate evil energy, the lid of the "black coffin" was instantly lifted open.

When they saw the scene inside, Chen Mu and Ye Changsheng were both slightly stunned.

Inside the "black coffin," a man lay quietly.

The man's entire body was completely covered by black, body-tight clothing, which looked very constricting.

He lay quietly in the "black coffin" with his hands at his sides in a very standard lying position.

The inner wall of the "black coffin" is connected to a dense array of thin tubes, sensors, and needles.

Chen Mu could tell at a glance that the man in the "black coffin" had already stopped breathing and had obviously been dead for a long time.

Ye Changsheng, standing to the side, blurted out in surprise:

"Shen Hanmeng? Is it really him?"

Chen Mu had never met Shen Hanmeng before, so he did not recognize her.

Chen Mu was somewhat excited; his intuition had proven correct. As the person in charge of researching "survival technology," and possessing such an underground survival pod, it was most likely related to Shen Hanmeng.

“Now that we’ve found Shen Hanmeng’s body, things will be much easier,” Chen Mu said. “We’ll transport his body back to Wangjiang City and revive him using the Tongyou Train.”

Ye Changsheng nodded in agreement, "No problem. I just didn't expect that Dr. Shen's body would actually appear here."

I thought he had either escaped somewhere else or gone to deep space; he wouldn't be here no matter what.

Does this mean he ultimately failed? Or did someone else leave him behind when they escaped?

It's not surprising that Ye Changsheng is so strange.

In Ye Changsheng's mind, Dr. Shen has always been a person with great ideas and abilities.

Ultimately, he died in a "black coffin" more than 100 meters underground, and it is unknown whether he was abandoned, which is truly heartbreaking.

Chen Mu said, "I also brought this 'black coffin' back with me. This thing looks quite useful; perhaps Dr. Shen will need it after he is resurrected."

Chen Muneng could take things directly, but he would always ask Ye Changsheng about anything from Storm Defense Line to show his respect for the Storm Defense Line.

Since the outcome is the same regardless, going through the motions will save face for everyone and make Ye Changsheng feel respected, so why not?

"Of course, no problem. Mr. Chen, just take whatever you need."

Ye Changsheng said heartily as he walked around the "cellar," looking around curiously.

He didn't know why Dr. Shen ultimately chose to die in that "black coffin" in the "cellar." He desperately wanted to know the reason.

Here, Chen Mu used his spatial ring. He tightly closed the lid of the "black coffin," leaving Shen Hanmeng's body inside.

After putting the lid on, Chen Mu used his innate strange energy to probe it.

It has to be said that the space inside the "black coffin" was exceptionally cramped! When the lid was closed, Shen Hanmeng's nose was almost touching it.

Chen Mu felt that lying in it was similar to lying in a sewer that was only one person wide.

Just thinking about that feeling, Chen Mu imagined himself lying flat in a dark, narrow pipe, his nose almost touching the top edge.

The oppressive, claustrophobic feeling sent chills down Chen Mu's spine.

To be honest, Chen Mu didn't want to stay in this "black coffin" for even a minute longer.

Since Shen Hanmeng has passed away, her body, being an inanimate object, can be stored in a spatial ring.

Therefore, it didn't take much effort for Chen Mu to stuff Shen Hanmeng's body, along with the "black coffin," into his spatial ring in one go.

Just as Chen Mu finished his work, he heard a sigh coming from Ye Changsheng's side.

"Mr. Chen, would you like to come and take a look?"

"what happened?"

Chen Mu was a little confused, but he still went over.

Ye Changsheng appeared to have walked out of the "cellar" and entered a small room next door.

In this small room, there is a large machine, backed against the wall of the "cellar," which looks like a control panel.

Ye Changsheng said, "I understand now. This is the control room, specifically for controlling Shen Hanmeng's room. The situation here is not bad; there is a hand-cranked emergency generator for electricity."

I just connected the generator and opened the console screen.

After tapping a few times on the screen, I found the operation log and the instructions for using the 'black coffin'.

"Oh? Interesting," Chen Mu said.

"Mr. Chen, let me get straight to the point and introduce it to you. That 'black coffin,' as we both guessed, is a 'life circulation chamber.'"

The cellar where it was placed was used to simulate the low-temperature environment of space.

This is a testing system used to test the effectiveness of the life cycle chamber.

Chen Mu nodded, this was entirely expected, "But... why did Shen Hanmeng go in? Did he need to test himself?"

Chen Mu was puzzled by this.

Ye Changsheng also shook his head, "Forgive me for speaking frankly, but I don't know why Dr. Shen wanted to run in."

However, I've brought up the working log of the circular warehouse.

These logs don't reveal anything about Dr. Shen's situation, but they do show the operation of the recirculating chamber.

It operated for more than five years without ever being turned on, and there is no record of it being turned on or off.

It stopped working two years ago. And it hasn't been turned on again until just now.

Chen Mu let out a "whoosh," and said, "Looks like the test was quite successful. It's been running for many years without any problems, so it's a preliminary success."

Why wasn't it reopened after it finished operating? Are they not letting Dr. Shen out?

Wait… two years ago, that should have been when the bizarre apocalypse broke out. I’ve got it now, either this launch center fell during the bizarre apocalypse and was destroyed by the bizarre.

Or maybe the big guy ran away and launched a rocket into space.

The former is understandable, but the latter—why not release Shen Hanmeng before leaving? That's too hasty. What if she woke up inside…?

As Chen Mu spoke, a terrible thought came to mind.

Two years ago, if the recirculating chamber had stopped operating, Shen Hanmeng would have woken up inside.

Wouldn't he be slowly waiting to die in that narrow "black coffin," lying flat in that standard supine position?

This way of dying is far too horrific.

“Boss Chen, I have some more, even more terrifying news,” Ye Changsheng said.
