Dawn is approaching, and today's Yuanjiang is much quieter than before, but it is an unsettling, lifeless quiet.
Yang Xiaoqian rubbed his head. He hadn't slept all night, but his mind was surprisingly clear, and he was not tired or sleepy after talking all night long.
From last night to this morning, in eight or nine hours, he asked and answered countless questions, which finally eased his doubts a little and gave Yu Qian a preliminary understanding of the earth he was on: For example, the Wuchang gangsters, the nine-year compulsory education, aircraft, satellites, cannons and tanks. Of course, Yu Qian is more interested in the humanities of the new world and the completely different history after the Ming Dynasty.
"What he said should be the truth." Yang Xiaoqian thought to himself as he looked at Yu Qian who was still eating after ten takeaways in one night.
According to what Yu Qian said, he came from another earth.
Not another planet, but another Earth. The history of that earth before the Ming Dynasty was completely consistent with the earth on which we are located, but this trajectory changed during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.
In the thirty-eighth year of Wanli (AD 1610), a plague suddenly broke out in Nanjing with an extremely high infection rate and fatality rate. Those who died of the plague were transformed into living corpses that knew no pain and preyed on humans.
In one sentence, it can be summed up as: Ming Dynasty version of Resident Evil.
Unexpectedly, the Ming Dynasty did not perish, nor did human civilization. After paying a certain price, all living corpses were wiped out.
But this was just the beginning. In the next four hundred years, countless natural disasters and foreign invasions, large and small, continued to come, destroying all human beings on that earth.
And Yu Qian used some kind of black technology to travel to this peaceful earth, and brought bad news: this earth is also about to face a disaster.
Yang Xiaoqian asked countless seemingly unrelated questions as a test, but most of Yu Qian's responses could corroborate each other. This was less like a clever lie and more like a psychotic conjecture - or fact.
There are just a few questions... Yang Xiaoqian pondered for a while and asked: "I don't quite understand. At that time, the entire city of Nanjing had turned into living corpses. The army of living corpses crushed them all the way, so they should be invincible, right? Based on the Ming Dynasty How can our military strength withstand such a disaster?”
"Originally, it couldn't be stopped." Yu Qian replied while stuffing chicken drumsticks into his mouth, "But some strange reasons blocked the advancement of the living corpses, causing them to gather in one place, giving Ming Shenzong time to organize the army and civilians. Blockade, then digging traps, digging rivers, amassing powerful crossbows and artillery, and adding many alien generals who had the ability to open the chains, finally annihilated the living corpses and won a breather."
Open the chains? Have ability? Yang Xiaoqian thought of the chain on Yu Qian's forehead when he was driving a flying knife (kitchen knife) last night. Is this the "awakened one" who must appear in the legendary apocalypse? Will there be a way to fight monsters and upgrade?
But these are not the key.
"Strange reason? What is the reason?"
"I don't know."
"Don't know?"
"I don't know! The fact that I know this is just memorization. I have never received any nine-year education and have never taken a history class - there is no history class at all." Yu Qian curled his lips bitterly, "But speaking of it, Since this earth is so highly developed and its force is as powerful as you described, this kind of zombie disaster can't make any waves, right? It will be destroyed in a matter of seconds."
"It's hard to say." Yang Xiaoqian shook his head in denial. "Every issue must be considered relatively. Although our army is strong and our weapons are powerful, our population is also large and dense. The most fatal thing is: our transportation is too convenient If such a disaster really happens, disease carriers can travel across the country or even the world within a day by train, car, plane, ship, etc. It would be extremely difficult to establish an effective blockade.”
"Is it worse than the Ming Shenzong period? Once such a disaster breaks out, human civilization will be destroyed?" Yu Qian began to worry. After a night of understanding, he knew that the world was far more beautiful than he imagined. He had not yet begun to enjoy the beautiful world. It's about to end? Unacceptable.
"Oh, that's not possible. You have to know that what's powerful here is not only our military power, but also our propaganda power, imagination and research and development capabilities." Yang Xiaoqian smiled proudly with a sense of superiority, "First of all, it's propaganda power. In the past few years, I have experienced the crisis of a large infectious virus. At that time, the whole country was panicked and everyone was uneasy. However, with the cooperation of the country's strong propaganda and organizational capabilities, most people survived the epidemic safely. "
"As for imagination, people during the Ming Shenzong period saw living corpses as incomprehensible and terrifying creatures, natural disasters. But here, almost everyone knows what they are, and they should not be too afraid. Strong - well, probably, people will come up with countless ways to deal with them."
"The last thing is research and development capabilities. From a biological point of view, it is impossible for such a powerful virus to have no warning signs. Maybe the serum and antidote have been successfully developed before it can spread over a large area. If it is isolated and quarantined, it may be easily eliminated. Disease. ”
"Of course, what I said is too idealistic. But! No matter how bad it is, we still have a nuclear submarine fleet that lives in the deep sea for months or even years, isolated from the outside world! We also have various strategic facilities for epidemic prevention and air defense. Live It is reasonable to say that it is impossible for things like corpses to destroy human civilization, but if we do not deal with it well, I am afraid that many people will die in vain.”
The more Yu Qian listened, the brighter his eyes became. Not only was he happy about the power of the earth, but he was also satisfied with the analytical ability of his temporary guide. As for whether it was correct, he didn't care, since it was just talk on paper now.
"Okay! I'm full." Yu Qian, who seemed to have a hole in his stomach, finally stopped eating, spread his hands and said, "Let's think about how we will deal with the disaster next!"
"...Uh, this." Yang Xiaoqian was a little embarrassed, "Are you sure there will be some kind of disaster or foreign invasion?"
Yu Qian lowered his head and pondered for a while. The light chain on his forehead reappeared, and the kitchen knife floated in the air. He nodded heavily: "It should be true. Since I can really travel here, then disaster may really happen. Let's talk about this ." He pointed to the light chain on his forehead.
"This chain is a seal that seals human abilities. Once you open the chain, you can use magical abilities. Then do you know where it comes from?"
Yang Xiaoqian shook his head, how could he know such unscientific things.
"I heard that this is the embodiment of the will of the stars." Yu Qian said eloquently, "Human beings are different from other animals. Human beings are smart, intelligent and greedy. They can also reproduce in large numbers. If they all have powerful abilities, they will be very important to the planet that gave birth to them. It is an unstoppable disaster. Therefore, the will of the stars has sealed the abilities of all human beings, and when the planet encounters an alien invasion, the will of the stars will select the right person to open the seal and release his abilities to resist the foreign enemies."
"Since I can now use my abilities like an arm and a finger, then... I'm afraid this place is indeed going to face a disaster."
Yang Xiaoqian sneered, the will of the stars? Gaia consciousness integration? He didn't believe it at all.
Humans are too strong and need to be sealed? Or is it a disaster? What logic?
Besides, where does the will of the stars come from? If it’s innate, it can’t just be on the earth, right? Is there any sun? Is there a moon? If it's man-made, wow, who made it? God? When disaster strikes, is it necessary to announce to all mankind: "Humble human beings, work hard to please me, who is boring"? This kind of secondary line?
How on earth can such a boring consciousness evolve into a higher species like a god?
but! Big fists are the last word. Yu Qian has super powers and if you can't beat him, then you have to listen to his reasoning.
"What you said makes sense." Yang Xiaoqian nodded, looking deeply convinced, "Then what should we do?"
"We need..."
Yang Xiaoqian's eyes were wandering. He did not listen to Yu Qian's plan, but was thinking about other issues:
First of all, according to Yu Qian, the earth where he lives has undergone sudden changes since the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Over the past four hundred years, disasters have continued, and the history has been completely changed.
Not to mention four hundred years, even forty years can bring about reversal changes in the entire world. As long as one person dies or encounters an accident and marries another person, thousands of his descendants may cease to exist in the past four hundred years. .
This unstable time chain existed for four hundred years.
So what is the possibility that there is another Yu Qian in Yu Qian's world?
Infinitely close to zero.
Furthermore, Yu Qian said that he was thrown into the time-travel gate by another person who could not enter the time-travel gate, and that person gave a rough description of a peaceful earth.
So the question is, since the mysterious figure cannot pass through the portal, how can he get information about another earth?
Either, Yu Qian lied.
Either there were people from that world who had come here, or people here had been to that world... Yang Xiaoqian raised his head and looked out of the window. The early morning sun was already shining in the sky, but there was a lot of fog in front of his eyes.
