The dead city sleeps under the yellow-gray sunset, and the radiant dust blurs the sunset.
The tall buildings lined up one after another are like tombstones. The empty windows cannot see a trace of vitality, nor can they see the cars coming and going of the past and the flashing neon lights.
The exhaled white mist condensed into white frost on the mirror of the protective suit.
At this moment, Yuer finally understood why before he went to the surface, his senior told him to wear protective equipment, and finally understood why the 1,000 cubic cubes of nuclear fuel he sent was prepared.
His Adam's apple moved and squeezed out a few words with difficulty.
...nuclear winter?
Zhao Feiyu glanced at the sky.
What covers us is not only the radial dust, but also the wreckage on the track... Just half a year ago, our space elevator disintegrated, and I didn't know until yesterday.
The radiation dust spread across the edge of the atmosphere and the wreckage scattered in low-Earth orbit blocks a large amount of visible light that shines on the surface.
Not only that, industrial scale, energy use, production methods, etc. have all retreated back to the prosperity era or even earlier.
This is not a simple issue of adding or subtracting calorific value. The ecosystem of this planet had already adapted to the production activities of the prosperous era, but now everything has changed roughly.
No one knows when this planet has to wait for re-adapt everything, especially when the planet is almost buried in dust.
Perhaps humans should actively adapt to this drastic change.
Interestingly, the life activities of the variant slime mold were not affected by radiation, but instead shrank the scale of the activity due to global cooling.
Thanks to this, the People's League can draw more military forces to deploy to the front line, and this war finally ushered in the dawn of victory.
Zhao Feiyu briefly told the news he knew and what was happening in Jinhe City.
The United Nations is planning to build a more efficient revitalization and reconstruction agency in an effort to resume production in the shortest time, while also embarking on the humanitarian disaster caused by climate issues.
The refugee settlements in Jinhe City will be changed into settlements, and some researchers and engineers will assist residents stranded in the local area and fail to enter the shelter facility to carry out reconstruction work... Our jurisdiction has also been classified from the Central War Institute to the local management agency, and we will probably do some work on disease prevention and control and improvement of drug production methods in the future.
Although I personally think this is a good thing, it may also mean that reconstruction will become a long-term job with a cycle of ten or even twenty years... it is difficult to do.
Zhao Feiyu smiled, trying to ease the heavy atmosphere, but seeing that there was no smile behind the protective mask, he immediately restrained his smile.
...Although it's difficult, I still believe everything will be fine.
Seeing that Yuer was still silent, he paused and looked into the distance and said.
I have a few tickets to the future here, okay, I won’t keep it closed, it’s a dormant cabin with a limit of 50 years.The People's Union thanks us for our work all the time. The formula of radiation anti-radiation agent has saved many people, and the radiation anti-radiation agent is also... Our work has been completed and we can enjoy our future happiness.
Yul smiled bitterly.
So what if I go.
Zhao Feiyu's expression stuttered slightly, and then he said with a smile.
Going... won't be anything, but fifty years later everything returns to normal, just a night of sleep and all the unpleasantness is over, don't you think it's great?Of course, it’s not all good things. Now three years are a generation. If you communicate with young men who have been in the future, the generation gap is probably bigger than that of people and dogs.
Do you believe it?Yul looked at him and interrupted his fantasy.
Zhao Feiyu fell into silence.
This question is not to be answered at all.
No one has counted people who died directly or indirectly in the war, but just looking at the abandoned high-rise buildings, it is not difficult to guess that this must be an astronomical number.
Back to the prosperity era.
If it is so easy, why does there be a shelter in the shelter that hibernates in a century?
Seeing that the senior fell into silence, Yuer continued to ask.
What are you going to do?
Zhao Feiyu sighed.
I plan to stay...
Yul didn't speak, but listened quietly as he continued.
Although the current situation is bad, many people need my research, and this era has my family and friends, so I can't take everyone to the future together.A person's life is only that long, and I want to stay with them for the rest of the time.
He paused and looked at Yul.
Although it's a bit selfish to say that, I still hope you can go.
Yuer said bluntly.
Because I'm more introverted.
No, it's not that reason, Zhao Feiyu said with a wry smile, "Okay, let me tell the truth, Renlian hopes that we will arrange a few researchers to go to the future, because as you can see, this is not a crisis that will end immediately. If everything is over in fifty years, of course everyone will be happy. If not... at least someone will have to take us forward."
Yuer was silent for a long time and sighed.
Then I will go to that beautiful new world for you to see.
……
Yuer finally chose to go to the future.
He himself didn't know why he made this decision.
Maybe it's because I still have a little fantasy about the world fifty years later, or maybe it's just because I feel hopeless about the status quo.
No matter which era it is, it will be good, as long as it is not now.
Since people in the future may need him, people in the present also need someone to help their children in the future.
Then go to the future.
Anyway, he has no descendants.
The relationship with my parents is also very indifferent.
This is true for his generation of young people. Compared with blood and tradition, they care more about the realization of self-worth and souls that can resonate spiritually.
After making all his mental preparations, he lay calmly into the dormant cabin and began this time journey with no return, just like countless expeditionists heading to the future.
However, even though he was mentally prepared, the development of things was still beyond his expectations.
It was beyond the expectation of Chu Guang, who was standing by and watching quietly.
When Yuer woke up again, he was not facing the wasteland fifty years later, but nearly two centuries later.
2320 years... Xiao Qi, sitting on Chu Guang's shoulder, opened his eyes wide and exclaimed in a low voice, that is to say... he has slept for 191 years?!shock!
In the 191st year of the Wasteland Era... Did the torch just come out of the shelter No. 117 not long ago? While talking, Chu Guang glanced at Xiaoqi, saying that you have finished reading the entire memory, why are you still surprised?
Xiaoqi's expression froze and she moved her gaze aside subtly.
Hey...it's more atmosphere like this.
Chu Guang: ...
This has a hammer atmosphere...
OK OK OK Don't care about these details, it's almost over... Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo
Aren't you following me every day?
Then how can it be the same!
Is there any difference?
Of course there is!One is outside, the other is inside... Well, how can I describe it?After thinking for a while, Xiaoqi's eyes suddenly lit up and she said with a shy smile, as if the master had entered Xiaoqi's body... Hehe.
Chu Guang: ...?
The still picture continues to flow.
Xiaoqi pressed the button to continue playing without authorization, and Yuer, who was sitting up from the dormant cabin, looked around blankly.
After a brief conversation with the staff who were standing by, he learned that he had been sleeping for nearly two hundred years, and the expression on his face was so complicated that it seemed to be overturned with mixed feelings.
People cannot fulfill their promises that exceed their own lifespan.
It is even more impossible for a group of people.
He should have expected this to be the case, but the current situation still exceeded his expectations.
The fifty-year freezing period, the promised pension and honor... everything disappeared with the disappearance of the People's League.
They entered a new era,
People born in this era call it the Wasteland Era.
In fact, after the People's League, an organization called the Post-War Reconstruction Committee was born, and his predecessors worked for that organization for a while.
The staff of the institute brought him notes from his predecessors, and he found the letters left to him by his predecessors.
...Mr. Yuer, I'm sorry to let you sleep for so long.I have been hesitating whether to thaw you on your 80th birthday, but I remembered what you said, what you want to go to is a beautiful new world, so you may have to wait...
It is now 2174, the 45th year of the Wasteland Era. As for when will you see this letter, I'm not sure... maybe 2229?But I hope it is best that no one has ever slept that long.
My body is getting worse and worse. Even if I replace the bionic organs, the remaining parts will indeed age, and the recent things are really messy.Fifty years ago, those idiots hadn't fought enough, and they started fighting again recently... As expected, the Zhan Construction Commission was disbanded. Now it is an enterprise, academy and a legion. No one knows what the future will be.
Ah, you may be confused when you see these.Where to explain to you... In short, the War Construction Committee is the post-war reconstruction committee, the institution established for more efficient reconstruction that I mentioned to you before. You can think it is a continuation of the People's League, because it successfully inherits all the bad habits of the People's League.Of course, it has good things, but now it doesn’t matter. The best era is over and it’s over again.
I didn't expect to have the honor of experiencing two apocalyptics in my life. Now we stand with the survivors of Singularity City, which is the refugee settlement next to the institute before, and now it has developed in a very good manner.A few days ago, researchers who fled here from the East Coast joined us, and I looked at their research… To be honest, their ideas were simply fantastic.
I think the same as theirs. As long as people are still humans, they will repeat countless mistakes that people will inevitably make... If you want to solve all problems once and for all, you can only become another powerful, long-lived, smart and docile new species, which they call the cloze-shaped life form!The opportunity is rare, how about adding a cat ear to the new human?Haha, don't take it seriously, just kidding.
Those guys were so brave that they actually used unstable experimental reagents directly on themselves.However, the effect is surprisingly amazing. Now that we have a 'strong body', we should think about how to engrave more excellent qualities on DNA.
You may think I'm crazy, I actually think so, but... this is the only thing I can do for other compatriots as a researcher.
Let’s put the research aside and say something happy. The unity shown by the residents of Singularity City made me see hope.They gave up their fantasies in a very short time and decided to be their own saviors. Winter also showed signs of improvement. Maybe it won’t take long before we can get a lot of food outside... The situation is optimistic, and maybe everything will be fine in another fifty years.
Sorry, I'm adept at prolonging your dormant period, but please believe I'm out of good intentions.I have always felt guilty. I took you who had just entered the society to Jinhe City, but you stayed in the laboratory until the last day before the end of the world.Unfortunately, I can’t go back to the past days, but at least in the future I hope you can live in a beautiful new world... If possible, I want to apologize to you in person, but after thinking about it, I decided to tell you these things by writing a letter.
I'm too old to travel on time, and this letter may be the last piece of information I've left in this world.
I wish you a happy life in the new world.
To my dear friend.
A friend who chose to stay in the past.
Seeing the letter from the beginning, Yuer was silent for a long time, took a deep breath, and put away the notes and letters.
Now he is a truly lonely person in this world.
He and the only umbilical cord left in this world are probably the only letter in his hand and the unfinished research by his predecessors.
Standing behind him, an old man whispered.
Your friend is a respectable scientific researcher.
Yul turned and looked at him.
Who are you……
The old man said softly.
Luo Gan, from Shelter No. 117.
Hearing this name, Chu Guang's face showed a surprised expression, but Yuer's expression did not change at all, and there was no affection for the word "sanctuary".
After more than two hundred years...
Even if the language has not changed at all, even if it is the same human being, can it really be considered the same species?
Do you know my senior?
The old man shook his head, but nodded again.
I was in a shelter as soon as I was born and escaped from that cage some time ago. Naturally, it was impossible to know someone more than a century ago.
He paused, and he continued.
But if I have the chance to meet, I think I will become very good friends with him.
Yul glanced at him strangely.
Why do you think so?
Luo Gan smiled softly.
Thinking itself is a subjective behavior, and this is especially true for scientific research. I learned about his research and then learned about him.
Is that...
Looking at Yul who was thinking, Luo Gan slowly spoke and continued.
As long as people are still humans, the same mistake will definitely be repeated... We agree with his point of view. Along the way, we have seen too many hopeless stupidity, either eating people alive or eating people in different ways.
There was no surprise on Yuer's face, but he just said lightly.
Has it become like this outside?
He was not surprised at all.
It would be better to say that when he learned that it was two hundred years later, he already knew the situation outside.
Luo Gan nodded slightly and continued.
We don’t want to be pessimistic about this being a curse engraved in our genes, but most of my friends and I are tired too.
Since we left the shelter, we have been looking for seeds that can hatch miracles. The first stop was Giant Rock City, and then other settlements... However, we walked more than 800 kilometers, and even a slight shadow of hope was not seen, but we lost many outstanding people.
Singularity City is the last stop, and we agreed that if this place doesn’t work, we will give up.
Yuer asked.
Then have you given up?
Luo said with a dry smile.
Almost... When we saw those green-skinned monsters, we had already given up. Even if the old priests still had a little bit of human conscience and respect for knowledge, letting us go alone would not change the fact that they were depraved.
There is a cannibal outside the institute... Yuer looked at the envelope in his hand and touched his chin. In other words... Has the senior's research failed?
For some reason.
He had no regrets in his heart, but instead... he was a little happy.
In this way, the choices he made in his life are not meaningless. Although this place is not a beautiful new world, at least there is something he can do.
Just like now.
This meaning is in the palm of his hand.
I don't think it's a failure, it's just not completed. Luo Gan continued, he has created a strong body for the new human beings, but has also planted the seeds of violence in their genes. He plans to solve this problem in the future, but unfortunately this seed will sprout before he solves the problem... If we wake up early, we will meet him early.
The coward holding the key always persuades us to wait a little longer, let us believe in a League of People who cannot even save ourselves, just as if we obey the order step by step and give everything to our children to solve all problems.
Then we watched the flames extinguish little by little until the endless night swallowed the earth. No matter how far we went, there would be no miracles... whether it was light years away or decades later.
When he said this, Luo Gan looked at Yuer.
We intend to end this meaningless trip and continue his research and hope you can help us if you can.
Complete that unfinished cloze-like form?Yuer thought for a moment and said simply, I understand, I will help.
Luo Gan looked at him in surprise, and then a smile appeared on his wrinkled face.
Putting away his smile, he solemnly stretched out his right hand.
Thank you for joining, there is another excellent crew member on the ship leading to the New World.
You're welcome.
Yuer held his right hand and shook it.
My thoughts are the same as you. If you can't wait for a new world after sleeping for more than two hundred years, the same will be true for another two hundred years.
If I had to make the oars of this boat, I would do it.
After this handshake, Luo Gan said goodbye to Yuer and followed the others of the torch to the south.
Torch reached an agreement with local mutants, and Champion Biopharma would help them study prosthetics that make mutants stronger, while mutants would need to fulfill their obligation to assist their experiments.
The old priests of the Singular Tribe were all survivors of Singularity City. The ancestors led by them had extraordinary respect for knowledge and scholars, and this was also one of the traditions that continued from Singularity City. A long time ago, a group of technicians helped them.
Although people of the new generation of secular school believe that smart people's brains are more delicious, after seeing the power of transforming the philosophical body, it is rare to reach a consensus with the old guys of the ancestor school school at least not to eat those researchers.
The experiment continued in an orderly manner.
When Luo Gan came back again, it was 19 years later, 2339, 210 years of the Wasteland Era, and the year before Chu Guang woke up.
Feeling feeling the vicissitudes of time, Chu Guang suddenly sighed.
Xiao Qi, who was sitting on his shoulder, looked at him with his elbow tip over his knees.
What's wrong with the master?
Chu Guang said concisely.
It's nothing, I just feel a little emotional, and I actually saw the changing world of this land in the memory of a little person.
The picture continues to flow.
During this meeting, Luo Gan had uploaded his thinking to the circuit board, and the meeting location also changed from reality to a sanctuary that exists in the virtual world.
At the same time, Luo Gan also brought new news.
They had established the theocracy in the south, ruled by the Torch Church.
Under the rule of the Sanctuary, people do not have to argue about meaningless things, and everyone is wholeheartedly a paddle on this ship leading to the new world.
Not only that, he also brought major research results obtained by the Southern Laboratory, a fungal organism called Nago.
Under the influence of the mind interference device and Nago, we have successfully achieved a utopia without disputes in the scope of a province.
Yuer asked casually.
What about the project of the cloze life form?Is there still a need to continue?
Luo Gan stared at him with bright eyes.
Of course, we have to continue, the utopia of the old human beings is only a phased result, ensuring that our experiments are not hindered.
And the other side we will eventually reach is harmony and prosperity that can be achieved without the intervention of Nago and the mind. This means that we must get rid of the body that restricts our souls and become a higher creature than humans.
Yul nodded.
I understand, what should I do next?
Luo Gan continued.
To solve the problem that Nago is difficult to survive in low-temperature dry environments, we need to spread it further away, rather than just on the boundaries of Haiya Province.
I will provide you with some samples... The situation is different now, and the surrounding survivor settlements will slowly join us.By the way, from now on, you are an apostle of the church, and I, who has entered the holy land, are the pioneers.
I am not interested in chanting scriptures, which will take up my valuable research time.Yur said impatiently.
What he hates the most is politics.
He doesn't need any political rights, he just wants to do purely what he thinks is worth it.
However, ironically, he seemed to have never escaped this shackle in his life. From a long time ago, he had been rising and falling with the boat under his feet.
Fortunately, this new boss knows him well.
Luo Gan laughed and said kindly.
Don't worry, it's just nominal, it won't take up too much time.
With this identity, our plan will be much smoother, and all settlements in the entire parish will cooperate with your experiments.
No matter what kind of experiment it is.
This time, Yuer finally had an expression of interest on his face.
It sounds interesting...
At this moment, he suddenly understood why they failed again and again.
It’s not because they don’t have the opportunity to do everything well, but because they have chosen the wrong method and tried to rebuild their civilization from a material level using human methods.
This idea may have been wrong from the beginning.
The prosperity era is an unprecedented example in the history of the League of People, and it is called a miracle because it is not common.
Using human methods to rebuild the kingdom of heaven will most likely make mistakes made again.
But God is different.
If you use divinity to replace human nature, you will not make human mistakes.
Of course, he knew very well that this road must be covered with thorns and that people would die because of it, but even if they didn’t do so, would there be fewer people?
Maybe more deaths.
Rather than letting those foolish guys die for meaningless things, it is better to let them die more meaningful.
A happy smile suddenly appeared on Yuer's face.
I understand, leave it to me... By the way, after a few years, I will follow you to that holy realm.
Luo Gan smiled kindly and nodded.
welcome.
Yuer nodded slightly and withdrew from the holy realm.
Looking down at the monologue in his heart, Chu Guang, who was standing beside him, sighed softly.
This is too extreme.
……
Pinecone Farm, another museum in Zhaofu Manor.
Holding the machine gun, he quit smoking and yawned.
When will we have to stay here?
Fang Chang, who had just stepped down and went to the official forum to peek the screen, said casually.
The Goblin Corps seems to have taken all the work away. The reinforcements of the mutants probably cannot come. It should be very quiet tonight, but don't take it lightly.
He quit smoking and said with a discomfort.
Depend on!Is this dog's thing not even leaving the soup?
The murderous dagger lifted.
Um?Who is calling me brother?
Good dog: %¥!
The lamb, who was huddling beside the fire, reached out his little hand to the fire, explored the warm outline with his palms and fingertips, and was looking for the edge that was not too cold or too hot.
The flames illuminated her face red.
Although a lot of things happened, her mood had stabilized.
The big brothers in armor were all very good people. They not only drove away the bad guys, but cured Yin Yin and everyone, but also gave her a few pieces of fragrant and sweet chocolate.
The bodies in the other hall have been cleaned up. Although the blood on the wall and the ground are a bit scary, it will be like that if you see too much.
She is safe now.
Safer than ever.
Yin Yin sat next to her, wrapped in a blanket, and after waking up, she sat motionless, without any response to anyone talking to her.
The lamb took the chocolate for her, but didn't eat it, so she kept it all for her.
Hope she gets better soon.
At this time, the tall sister came over.
After looking at Yin Yin, who was shrunk into a ball and had no eyes, a hint of concern and worry appeared on Chen Yutong's face, and she looked at Xiaoyang and asked.
Is she better?
The lamb shook his head gently.
At this moment, Yin Yin suddenly raised her head.
dad……
Um?
Although I didn't hear what the little girl was saying, seeing that she finally reacted, Chen Yutong immediately squatted beside her.
Do you feel okay now?Are you feeling uncomfortable?
Yin Yin shook her head, continued to look at Chen Yutong, and said in a low voice.
My dad...is he okay?
Chen Yutong fell into silence.
I could guess something from the sister's expression, and tears oozed out from Yin Yin's eyes and continued to ask in a trembling voice.
Then...what is brother?Sister...and the butler and the others.
That silent expression says it all.
Tears as big as beans fell from her cheeks, and she hugged her knees tightly and kept sobbing.
……Why.
The lamb touched her head and whispered.
Don't be sad...
Yin Yin, whose eyes were filled with tears, bit her lips tightly, unable to say a word, and she didn't know how to face her friends.
She had thought of helping her get out of this cage, but it was out of sympathy, pity or kindness, and never thought it was in this way.
My father is gone...
What should she do in the future?
After vaguely understanding the worry in Yin Yin's eyes, the lamb comforted her in a low voice.
...That, although our family may not have such a big house, it should be quite big. I will beg my dad to take care of you.
Yin Yin looked at her.
The cold eyes made Xiaoyang feel that the friend in front of him suddenly became very strange, and the strangeness even made her feel a little scared.
Are you very proud now? You are finally free.
The lamb looked at her in surprise, not understanding why she said that.
Yin Yin obviously didn't understand why she said such words, and she didn't understand why she took her anger on the lamb.
She is obviously her best friend.
However, Yin Yin didn't want to apologize for this and twisted her neck aside.
Looking at this troublesome child, Chen Yutong sighed.
To be honest.
This settlement would become like this, and her father was at least 90% responsible, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a self-destruction.
He already had absolute power, but he wanted to have more, and at this time someone threw a very fragrant bait in front of him.
He had almost arrogant confidence in his abilities. He almost didn't hesitate to bite the hook, and even fantasized about using the chips in his hand to intrigue the church thousands of miles away.
But unexpectedly, people didn't even think of him as a human being, and they didn't even deserve to leave a name on the experimental log, only a line of sloppy numbers.
but……
She still couldn't dissatisfaction with this child.
After touching the little girl's head, Chen Yutong said softly.
There are many things we can't do in this world... This has nothing to do with our efforts and choices. Even if you didn't mistakenly enter that basement today, even if you did nothing, things will happen tonight.
I don't know if saying this will make you feel better, but... at least don't make things difficult for yourself or the people around you. You are all victims, and it's not you who should be responsible for this.Your friend saved you bravely. If it were me, I would say thank you to her.
While talking, Chen Yutong looked at Xiaoyang and said softly.
Can you come with your sister?I may need your help.
The lamb looked at Yin Yin, who turned her face and didn't speak. Although she didn't want to leave her aside, she still nodded sensibly.
Well...I will help.
Chen Yutong bent the corners of her mouth and stood up with her knees.
Come with me.
The tall buildings lined up one after another are like tombstones. The empty windows cannot see a trace of vitality, nor can they see the cars coming and going of the past and the flashing neon lights.
The exhaled white mist condensed into white frost on the mirror of the protective suit.
At this moment, Yuer finally understood why before he went to the surface, his senior told him to wear protective equipment, and finally understood why the 1,000 cubic cubes of nuclear fuel he sent was prepared.
His Adam's apple moved and squeezed out a few words with difficulty.
...nuclear winter?
Zhao Feiyu glanced at the sky.
What covers us is not only the radial dust, but also the wreckage on the track... Just half a year ago, our space elevator disintegrated, and I didn't know until yesterday.
The radiation dust spread across the edge of the atmosphere and the wreckage scattered in low-Earth orbit blocks a large amount of visible light that shines on the surface.
Not only that, industrial scale, energy use, production methods, etc. have all retreated back to the prosperity era or even earlier.
This is not a simple issue of adding or subtracting calorific value. The ecosystem of this planet had already adapted to the production activities of the prosperous era, but now everything has changed roughly.
No one knows when this planet has to wait for re-adapt everything, especially when the planet is almost buried in dust.
Perhaps humans should actively adapt to this drastic change.
Interestingly, the life activities of the variant slime mold were not affected by radiation, but instead shrank the scale of the activity due to global cooling.
Thanks to this, the People's League can draw more military forces to deploy to the front line, and this war finally ushered in the dawn of victory.
Zhao Feiyu briefly told the news he knew and what was happening in Jinhe City.
The United Nations is planning to build a more efficient revitalization and reconstruction agency in an effort to resume production in the shortest time, while also embarking on the humanitarian disaster caused by climate issues.
The refugee settlements in Jinhe City will be changed into settlements, and some researchers and engineers will assist residents stranded in the local area and fail to enter the shelter facility to carry out reconstruction work... Our jurisdiction has also been classified from the Central War Institute to the local management agency, and we will probably do some work on disease prevention and control and improvement of drug production methods in the future.
Although I personally think this is a good thing, it may also mean that reconstruction will become a long-term job with a cycle of ten or even twenty years... it is difficult to do.
Zhao Feiyu smiled, trying to ease the heavy atmosphere, but seeing that there was no smile behind the protective mask, he immediately restrained his smile.
...Although it's difficult, I still believe everything will be fine.
Seeing that Yuer was still silent, he paused and looked into the distance and said.
I have a few tickets to the future here, okay, I won’t keep it closed, it’s a dormant cabin with a limit of 50 years.The People's Union thanks us for our work all the time. The formula of radiation anti-radiation agent has saved many people, and the radiation anti-radiation agent is also... Our work has been completed and we can enjoy our future happiness.
Yul smiled bitterly.
So what if I go.
Zhao Feiyu's expression stuttered slightly, and then he said with a smile.
Going... won't be anything, but fifty years later everything returns to normal, just a night of sleep and all the unpleasantness is over, don't you think it's great?Of course, it’s not all good things. Now three years are a generation. If you communicate with young men who have been in the future, the generation gap is probably bigger than that of people and dogs.
Do you believe it?Yul looked at him and interrupted his fantasy.
Zhao Feiyu fell into silence.
This question is not to be answered at all.
No one has counted people who died directly or indirectly in the war, but just looking at the abandoned high-rise buildings, it is not difficult to guess that this must be an astronomical number.
Back to the prosperity era.
If it is so easy, why does there be a shelter in the shelter that hibernates in a century?
Seeing that the senior fell into silence, Yuer continued to ask.
What are you going to do?
Zhao Feiyu sighed.
I plan to stay...
Yul didn't speak, but listened quietly as he continued.
Although the current situation is bad, many people need my research, and this era has my family and friends, so I can't take everyone to the future together.A person's life is only that long, and I want to stay with them for the rest of the time.
He paused and looked at Yul.
Although it's a bit selfish to say that, I still hope you can go.
Yuer said bluntly.
Because I'm more introverted.
No, it's not that reason, Zhao Feiyu said with a wry smile, "Okay, let me tell the truth, Renlian hopes that we will arrange a few researchers to go to the future, because as you can see, this is not a crisis that will end immediately. If everything is over in fifty years, of course everyone will be happy. If not... at least someone will have to take us forward."
Yuer was silent for a long time and sighed.
Then I will go to that beautiful new world for you to see.
……
Yuer finally chose to go to the future.
He himself didn't know why he made this decision.
Maybe it's because I still have a little fantasy about the world fifty years later, or maybe it's just because I feel hopeless about the status quo.
No matter which era it is, it will be good, as long as it is not now.
Since people in the future may need him, people in the present also need someone to help their children in the future.
Then go to the future.
Anyway, he has no descendants.
The relationship with my parents is also very indifferent.
This is true for his generation of young people. Compared with blood and tradition, they care more about the realization of self-worth and souls that can resonate spiritually.
After making all his mental preparations, he lay calmly into the dormant cabin and began this time journey with no return, just like countless expeditionists heading to the future.
However, even though he was mentally prepared, the development of things was still beyond his expectations.
It was beyond the expectation of Chu Guang, who was standing by and watching quietly.
When Yuer woke up again, he was not facing the wasteland fifty years later, but nearly two centuries later.
2320 years... Xiao Qi, sitting on Chu Guang's shoulder, opened his eyes wide and exclaimed in a low voice, that is to say... he has slept for 191 years?!shock!
In the 191st year of the Wasteland Era... Did the torch just come out of the shelter No. 117 not long ago? While talking, Chu Guang glanced at Xiaoqi, saying that you have finished reading the entire memory, why are you still surprised?
Xiaoqi's expression froze and she moved her gaze aside subtly.
Hey...it's more atmosphere like this.
Chu Guang: ...
This has a hammer atmosphere...
OK OK OK Don't care about these details, it's almost over... Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo
Aren't you following me every day?
Then how can it be the same!
Is there any difference?
Of course there is!One is outside, the other is inside... Well, how can I describe it?After thinking for a while, Xiaoqi's eyes suddenly lit up and she said with a shy smile, as if the master had entered Xiaoqi's body... Hehe.
Chu Guang: ...?
The still picture continues to flow.
Xiaoqi pressed the button to continue playing without authorization, and Yuer, who was sitting up from the dormant cabin, looked around blankly.
After a brief conversation with the staff who were standing by, he learned that he had been sleeping for nearly two hundred years, and the expression on his face was so complicated that it seemed to be overturned with mixed feelings.
People cannot fulfill their promises that exceed their own lifespan.
It is even more impossible for a group of people.
He should have expected this to be the case, but the current situation still exceeded his expectations.
The fifty-year freezing period, the promised pension and honor... everything disappeared with the disappearance of the People's League.
They entered a new era,
People born in this era call it the Wasteland Era.
In fact, after the People's League, an organization called the Post-War Reconstruction Committee was born, and his predecessors worked for that organization for a while.
The staff of the institute brought him notes from his predecessors, and he found the letters left to him by his predecessors.
...Mr. Yuer, I'm sorry to let you sleep for so long.I have been hesitating whether to thaw you on your 80th birthday, but I remembered what you said, what you want to go to is a beautiful new world, so you may have to wait...
It is now 2174, the 45th year of the Wasteland Era. As for when will you see this letter, I'm not sure... maybe 2229?But I hope it is best that no one has ever slept that long.
My body is getting worse and worse. Even if I replace the bionic organs, the remaining parts will indeed age, and the recent things are really messy.Fifty years ago, those idiots hadn't fought enough, and they started fighting again recently... As expected, the Zhan Construction Commission was disbanded. Now it is an enterprise, academy and a legion. No one knows what the future will be.
Ah, you may be confused when you see these.Where to explain to you... In short, the War Construction Committee is the post-war reconstruction committee, the institution established for more efficient reconstruction that I mentioned to you before. You can think it is a continuation of the People's League, because it successfully inherits all the bad habits of the People's League.Of course, it has good things, but now it doesn’t matter. The best era is over and it’s over again.
I didn't expect to have the honor of experiencing two apocalyptics in my life. Now we stand with the survivors of Singularity City, which is the refugee settlement next to the institute before, and now it has developed in a very good manner.A few days ago, researchers who fled here from the East Coast joined us, and I looked at their research… To be honest, their ideas were simply fantastic.
I think the same as theirs. As long as people are still humans, they will repeat countless mistakes that people will inevitably make... If you want to solve all problems once and for all, you can only become another powerful, long-lived, smart and docile new species, which they call the cloze-shaped life form!The opportunity is rare, how about adding a cat ear to the new human?Haha, don't take it seriously, just kidding.
Those guys were so brave that they actually used unstable experimental reagents directly on themselves.However, the effect is surprisingly amazing. Now that we have a 'strong body', we should think about how to engrave more excellent qualities on DNA.
You may think I'm crazy, I actually think so, but... this is the only thing I can do for other compatriots as a researcher.
Let’s put the research aside and say something happy. The unity shown by the residents of Singularity City made me see hope.They gave up their fantasies in a very short time and decided to be their own saviors. Winter also showed signs of improvement. Maybe it won’t take long before we can get a lot of food outside... The situation is optimistic, and maybe everything will be fine in another fifty years.
Sorry, I'm adept at prolonging your dormant period, but please believe I'm out of good intentions.I have always felt guilty. I took you who had just entered the society to Jinhe City, but you stayed in the laboratory until the last day before the end of the world.Unfortunately, I can’t go back to the past days, but at least in the future I hope you can live in a beautiful new world... If possible, I want to apologize to you in person, but after thinking about it, I decided to tell you these things by writing a letter.
I'm too old to travel on time, and this letter may be the last piece of information I've left in this world.
I wish you a happy life in the new world.
To my dear friend.
A friend who chose to stay in the past.
Seeing the letter from the beginning, Yuer was silent for a long time, took a deep breath, and put away the notes and letters.
Now he is a truly lonely person in this world.
He and the only umbilical cord left in this world are probably the only letter in his hand and the unfinished research by his predecessors.
Standing behind him, an old man whispered.
Your friend is a respectable scientific researcher.
Yul turned and looked at him.
Who are you……
The old man said softly.
Luo Gan, from Shelter No. 117.
Hearing this name, Chu Guang's face showed a surprised expression, but Yuer's expression did not change at all, and there was no affection for the word "sanctuary".
After more than two hundred years...
Even if the language has not changed at all, even if it is the same human being, can it really be considered the same species?
Do you know my senior?
The old man shook his head, but nodded again.
I was in a shelter as soon as I was born and escaped from that cage some time ago. Naturally, it was impossible to know someone more than a century ago.
He paused, and he continued.
But if I have the chance to meet, I think I will become very good friends with him.
Yul glanced at him strangely.
Why do you think so?
Luo Gan smiled softly.
Thinking itself is a subjective behavior, and this is especially true for scientific research. I learned about his research and then learned about him.
Is that...
Looking at Yul who was thinking, Luo Gan slowly spoke and continued.
As long as people are still humans, the same mistake will definitely be repeated... We agree with his point of view. Along the way, we have seen too many hopeless stupidity, either eating people alive or eating people in different ways.
There was no surprise on Yuer's face, but he just said lightly.
Has it become like this outside?
He was not surprised at all.
It would be better to say that when he learned that it was two hundred years later, he already knew the situation outside.
Luo Gan nodded slightly and continued.
We don’t want to be pessimistic about this being a curse engraved in our genes, but most of my friends and I are tired too.
Since we left the shelter, we have been looking for seeds that can hatch miracles. The first stop was Giant Rock City, and then other settlements... However, we walked more than 800 kilometers, and even a slight shadow of hope was not seen, but we lost many outstanding people.
Singularity City is the last stop, and we agreed that if this place doesn’t work, we will give up.
Yuer asked.
Then have you given up?
Luo said with a dry smile.
Almost... When we saw those green-skinned monsters, we had already given up. Even if the old priests still had a little bit of human conscience and respect for knowledge, letting us go alone would not change the fact that they were depraved.
There is a cannibal outside the institute... Yuer looked at the envelope in his hand and touched his chin. In other words... Has the senior's research failed?
For some reason.
He had no regrets in his heart, but instead... he was a little happy.
In this way, the choices he made in his life are not meaningless. Although this place is not a beautiful new world, at least there is something he can do.
Just like now.
This meaning is in the palm of his hand.
I don't think it's a failure, it's just not completed. Luo Gan continued, he has created a strong body for the new human beings, but has also planted the seeds of violence in their genes. He plans to solve this problem in the future, but unfortunately this seed will sprout before he solves the problem... If we wake up early, we will meet him early.
The coward holding the key always persuades us to wait a little longer, let us believe in a League of People who cannot even save ourselves, just as if we obey the order step by step and give everything to our children to solve all problems.
Then we watched the flames extinguish little by little until the endless night swallowed the earth. No matter how far we went, there would be no miracles... whether it was light years away or decades later.
When he said this, Luo Gan looked at Yuer.
We intend to end this meaningless trip and continue his research and hope you can help us if you can.
Complete that unfinished cloze-like form?Yuer thought for a moment and said simply, I understand, I will help.
Luo Gan looked at him in surprise, and then a smile appeared on his wrinkled face.
Putting away his smile, he solemnly stretched out his right hand.
Thank you for joining, there is another excellent crew member on the ship leading to the New World.
You're welcome.
Yuer held his right hand and shook it.
My thoughts are the same as you. If you can't wait for a new world after sleeping for more than two hundred years, the same will be true for another two hundred years.
If I had to make the oars of this boat, I would do it.
After this handshake, Luo Gan said goodbye to Yuer and followed the others of the torch to the south.
Torch reached an agreement with local mutants, and Champion Biopharma would help them study prosthetics that make mutants stronger, while mutants would need to fulfill their obligation to assist their experiments.
The old priests of the Singular Tribe were all survivors of Singularity City. The ancestors led by them had extraordinary respect for knowledge and scholars, and this was also one of the traditions that continued from Singularity City. A long time ago, a group of technicians helped them.
Although people of the new generation of secular school believe that smart people's brains are more delicious, after seeing the power of transforming the philosophical body, it is rare to reach a consensus with the old guys of the ancestor school school at least not to eat those researchers.
The experiment continued in an orderly manner.
When Luo Gan came back again, it was 19 years later, 2339, 210 years of the Wasteland Era, and the year before Chu Guang woke up.
Feeling feeling the vicissitudes of time, Chu Guang suddenly sighed.
Xiao Qi, who was sitting on his shoulder, looked at him with his elbow tip over his knees.
What's wrong with the master?
Chu Guang said concisely.
It's nothing, I just feel a little emotional, and I actually saw the changing world of this land in the memory of a little person.
The picture continues to flow.
During this meeting, Luo Gan had uploaded his thinking to the circuit board, and the meeting location also changed from reality to a sanctuary that exists in the virtual world.
At the same time, Luo Gan also brought new news.
They had established the theocracy in the south, ruled by the Torch Church.
Under the rule of the Sanctuary, people do not have to argue about meaningless things, and everyone is wholeheartedly a paddle on this ship leading to the new world.
Not only that, he also brought major research results obtained by the Southern Laboratory, a fungal organism called Nago.
Under the influence of the mind interference device and Nago, we have successfully achieved a utopia without disputes in the scope of a province.
Yuer asked casually.
What about the project of the cloze life form?Is there still a need to continue?
Luo Gan stared at him with bright eyes.
Of course, we have to continue, the utopia of the old human beings is only a phased result, ensuring that our experiments are not hindered.
And the other side we will eventually reach is harmony and prosperity that can be achieved without the intervention of Nago and the mind. This means that we must get rid of the body that restricts our souls and become a higher creature than humans.
Yul nodded.
I understand, what should I do next?
Luo Gan continued.
To solve the problem that Nago is difficult to survive in low-temperature dry environments, we need to spread it further away, rather than just on the boundaries of Haiya Province.
I will provide you with some samples... The situation is different now, and the surrounding survivor settlements will slowly join us.By the way, from now on, you are an apostle of the church, and I, who has entered the holy land, are the pioneers.
I am not interested in chanting scriptures, which will take up my valuable research time.Yur said impatiently.
What he hates the most is politics.
He doesn't need any political rights, he just wants to do purely what he thinks is worth it.
However, ironically, he seemed to have never escaped this shackle in his life. From a long time ago, he had been rising and falling with the boat under his feet.
Fortunately, this new boss knows him well.
Luo Gan laughed and said kindly.
Don't worry, it's just nominal, it won't take up too much time.
With this identity, our plan will be much smoother, and all settlements in the entire parish will cooperate with your experiments.
No matter what kind of experiment it is.
This time, Yuer finally had an expression of interest on his face.
It sounds interesting...
At this moment, he suddenly understood why they failed again and again.
It’s not because they don’t have the opportunity to do everything well, but because they have chosen the wrong method and tried to rebuild their civilization from a material level using human methods.
This idea may have been wrong from the beginning.
The prosperity era is an unprecedented example in the history of the League of People, and it is called a miracle because it is not common.
Using human methods to rebuild the kingdom of heaven will most likely make mistakes made again.
But God is different.
If you use divinity to replace human nature, you will not make human mistakes.
Of course, he knew very well that this road must be covered with thorns and that people would die because of it, but even if they didn’t do so, would there be fewer people?
Maybe more deaths.
Rather than letting those foolish guys die for meaningless things, it is better to let them die more meaningful.
A happy smile suddenly appeared on Yuer's face.
I understand, leave it to me... By the way, after a few years, I will follow you to that holy realm.
Luo Gan smiled kindly and nodded.
welcome.
Yuer nodded slightly and withdrew from the holy realm.
Looking down at the monologue in his heart, Chu Guang, who was standing beside him, sighed softly.
This is too extreme.
……
Pinecone Farm, another museum in Zhaofu Manor.
Holding the machine gun, he quit smoking and yawned.
When will we have to stay here?
Fang Chang, who had just stepped down and went to the official forum to peek the screen, said casually.
The Goblin Corps seems to have taken all the work away. The reinforcements of the mutants probably cannot come. It should be very quiet tonight, but don't take it lightly.
He quit smoking and said with a discomfort.
Depend on!Is this dog's thing not even leaving the soup?
The murderous dagger lifted.
Um?Who is calling me brother?
Good dog: %¥!
The lamb, who was huddling beside the fire, reached out his little hand to the fire, explored the warm outline with his palms and fingertips, and was looking for the edge that was not too cold or too hot.
The flames illuminated her face red.
Although a lot of things happened, her mood had stabilized.
The big brothers in armor were all very good people. They not only drove away the bad guys, but cured Yin Yin and everyone, but also gave her a few pieces of fragrant and sweet chocolate.
The bodies in the other hall have been cleaned up. Although the blood on the wall and the ground are a bit scary, it will be like that if you see too much.
She is safe now.
Safer than ever.
Yin Yin sat next to her, wrapped in a blanket, and after waking up, she sat motionless, without any response to anyone talking to her.
The lamb took the chocolate for her, but didn't eat it, so she kept it all for her.
Hope she gets better soon.
At this time, the tall sister came over.
After looking at Yin Yin, who was shrunk into a ball and had no eyes, a hint of concern and worry appeared on Chen Yutong's face, and she looked at Xiaoyang and asked.
Is she better?
The lamb shook his head gently.
At this moment, Yin Yin suddenly raised her head.
dad……
Um?
Although I didn't hear what the little girl was saying, seeing that she finally reacted, Chen Yutong immediately squatted beside her.
Do you feel okay now?Are you feeling uncomfortable?
Yin Yin shook her head, continued to look at Chen Yutong, and said in a low voice.
My dad...is he okay?
Chen Yutong fell into silence.
I could guess something from the sister's expression, and tears oozed out from Yin Yin's eyes and continued to ask in a trembling voice.
Then...what is brother?Sister...and the butler and the others.
That silent expression says it all.
Tears as big as beans fell from her cheeks, and she hugged her knees tightly and kept sobbing.
……Why.
The lamb touched her head and whispered.
Don't be sad...
Yin Yin, whose eyes were filled with tears, bit her lips tightly, unable to say a word, and she didn't know how to face her friends.
She had thought of helping her get out of this cage, but it was out of sympathy, pity or kindness, and never thought it was in this way.
My father is gone...
What should she do in the future?
After vaguely understanding the worry in Yin Yin's eyes, the lamb comforted her in a low voice.
...That, although our family may not have such a big house, it should be quite big. I will beg my dad to take care of you.
Yin Yin looked at her.
The cold eyes made Xiaoyang feel that the friend in front of him suddenly became very strange, and the strangeness even made her feel a little scared.
Are you very proud now? You are finally free.
The lamb looked at her in surprise, not understanding why she said that.
Yin Yin obviously didn't understand why she said such words, and she didn't understand why she took her anger on the lamb.
She is obviously her best friend.
However, Yin Yin didn't want to apologize for this and twisted her neck aside.
Looking at this troublesome child, Chen Yutong sighed.
To be honest.
This settlement would become like this, and her father was at least 90% responsible, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a self-destruction.
He already had absolute power, but he wanted to have more, and at this time someone threw a very fragrant bait in front of him.
He had almost arrogant confidence in his abilities. He almost didn't hesitate to bite the hook, and even fantasized about using the chips in his hand to intrigue the church thousands of miles away.
But unexpectedly, people didn't even think of him as a human being, and they didn't even deserve to leave a name on the experimental log, only a line of sloppy numbers.
but……
She still couldn't dissatisfaction with this child.
After touching the little girl's head, Chen Yutong said softly.
There are many things we can't do in this world... This has nothing to do with our efforts and choices. Even if you didn't mistakenly enter that basement today, even if you did nothing, things will happen tonight.
I don't know if saying this will make you feel better, but... at least don't make things difficult for yourself or the people around you. You are all victims, and it's not you who should be responsible for this.Your friend saved you bravely. If it were me, I would say thank you to her.
While talking, Chen Yutong looked at Xiaoyang and said softly.
Can you come with your sister?I may need your help.
The lamb looked at Yin Yin, who turned her face and didn't speak. Although she didn't want to leave her aside, she still nodded sensibly.
Well...I will help.
Chen Yutong bent the corners of her mouth and stood up with her knees.
Come with me.
