——Cemetery——
The gentle golden energy gathers and circulates, forming a white flower at the fingertips.
The cold tombstone stood straight on the ground, and the spotless platform was covered with flowers.
You know, flowers are a particularly rare thing in such an apocalyptic world.
"My lover is buried here. She died on the second morning of the end of the world."
His fingertips followed the stone tablet all the way down, stopping on the cold slippery surface.
The woman in the photo was holding a handful of gorgeous roses and smiling brightly at the camera.
"She loved traveling and devoted her life to science. I scattered her ashes into the hanging river, where she was born. And here, the originals of all her achievements are buried."
The man under the shrouded black cloak raised his head, and black liquid overflowed from his golden eyes.
Pat…
The dark and viscous liquid fell to the ground, twisting into a ball as if it was alive, trying to get under the flat and smooth ground.
Ka…
Time goes back in an instant, and white flowers bloom at the fingertips again.
"Haah... I hate going back in time. Besides, no one wants to hear your love story. If you don't leave, I will leave." The yawning figure who was lazily leaning aside was obviously the only audience in the cemetery. , he is not a very good audience.
He casually glanced at the thick clouds above his head, and a trace of pleasure flashed in his scarlet eyes.
"It's time to go." The Lord God brushed the tombstone for the last time, and the flowers fell on it, turning into little white lights and dispersing in the air as they slid over the woman's face.
"I once recalled this memory, a long, long time ago." He pulled up the brim of his hat, and the cloak completely covered the man's face.
"All the 'eyes' in the cemetery failed at the same time, and the androids also lost contact with the headquarters. But when I rushed to the cemetery, I found that everything was as usual. After troubleshooting all possible failures, I had to put this An accident is classified as an unsolved mystery, and in the future, I will consider it a precursor to that disaster.”
"It turns out it's because I'm back..." The Lord God shook his head helplessly. He took a step back and his figure suddenly became transparent.
"It turns out that this is what I look like."
The quiet cemetery suddenly lit up with a blue light, and hundreds of gun-toting androids rushed into it.
A tall man with a stern face strode over, a flash of anxiety in his deep eyes.
He first hurriedly inspected the tombstones surrounded by flowers, and then tapped his fingers in the void a few times.
Countless light blue light screens appeared in the sky, and complicated codes flowed line by line.
"Sir, no fault has been detected, but they seem to have been forced to shut down." The researcher wearing glasses came to this conclusion with some confusion after carefully examining the row of androids standing with their heads bowed.
"..." The man did not reply, still controlling the countless blue light screens.
Buzz... A few minutes later, countless round golden eyes opened on the ground, branches, and walls, and the androids also raised their heads and picked up guns.
"Ha...it's the eyes again." Ying rolled his eyes in disgust, "Quickly leave, or you will be discovered if you don't leave."
"It's time to go." After the Lord God took one last look at the vivid figure on the tombstone, he disappeared into the air with the breeze.
"Leave, where can we meet?" Upon seeing this, Ying turned around and left, not forgetting to send a private message to Yun Chuan.
"Well, yes. I saw it. What, don't touch your head?"
"I didn't expect it. His memory is still incomplete, but he is trying to remember."
"What? You met? That was really unpleasant."
"I know, I'll be ready."
……
——
There are still 23 hours before the disaster strikes, and there are still 95 hours before the seven-day time limit——
"Ha... finally got in." Inside the base, Sibel wiped his dirty cheeks with a look of relief.
Sure enough, money can make all the difference.
Oh no, in the end times, resources are the most important thing.
Just the day before, after the players tried their best to trigger time regression five times but were still unable to enter the base, they finally gave up on entering the base on their own.
"What to do, what to do." Sibel was holding the small soul fragment with a depressed look on his face before things turned around.
There are many dangers along the way, and when collecting soul fragments, you will always have to go deep into the monster's lair.
"You said, we really want to find that Musang?" Glasses carefully pasted the cards on the box, but still could not detect what was inside the box.
"We don't know anything about the plot now. It would be too easy to pass the level by just getting the soul fragments." Even though each of those monsters caused them a lot of suffering, this is the legendary top dungeon after all... Su Ye Frowning, I wrote and drew on the paper.
"We can't communicate with the NPCs here in two directions, which is also a problem."
"Brother!" Su Rui suddenly ran over.
As soon as Su Ye looked up, he saw a familiar figure suddenly appearing in the yellow sand in the sky.
"Wow." Alaric patted the yellow sand on his body and stood up, "A remarkable person has appeared."
"Long time no see." Mu Chen held the edge of his cloak with one hand and nodded slightly to the players.
"I saw the note you left in the basement. It seems I'm not too late." He never mentioned that he had no intention of going back and started making up random things.
Basement... note... did he really go back?
They knew that Mu Chen did not take the cloak with him when he left, and the cloak the man was wearing now was the same as the cloak given to him by the black-robed NPC.
This instantly gave his words a bit more credibility.
"Box. Will touching this box trigger a time regression?" Mu Chen's eyes swept over the box.
"What happened to the woman?"
"I don't know." Su Rui shook her head. "I came across this box by chance, but it didn't trigger a retrospective. The woman...she couldn't survive, but she asked us to take the box to find Musang."
"Mu Sang?" Mu Chen raised his eyebrows, pretending to be confused.
"Sounds like your last name? Maybe you were the same family five hundred years ago." Sibel teased. "Now we can't open the box and we can't get into the base."
"…Miss Siebel, I have nothing to do with NPC."
Therefore, sometimes what is said inadvertently may be the truth.
"Not sure, you're already in love with the boss." Sibel chuckled and got out of the way.
"The traceback was not triggered. Could it be because the person who touched it was different?" Mu Chen leaned down and touched the cold corner of the box.
"No, I was the one carrying the suitcase along the way." Su Ye shook his head.
"Is there any way you can get into the base?" he asked. "..."
"Of course." Mu Chen nodded. He came here just to bring these players into the base.
……
"Oh, we finally got in. You still have a way." Sibel put down his hat and wiped his dirty cheeks.
"Shh." Mu Chen shook his head at her.
Understood... Sibel immediately covered his mouth.
After a long period of evolution, the languages on this planet have become unified.
Call it - Esperanto.
But it's obvious that the players don't know Esperanto.
So ‘dumb’ becomes their protection is identity.
According to Mu Chen, he accidentally rescued a group of mercenaries on the way to the base.
In return, the mercenaries agreed to bring him into the base by their own means.
But when the mercenary leader saw the other people, a look of resistance clearly appeared on his face.
"There are too many to carry." The mercenary leader thoughtfully used sign language.
A bag full of coins was thrown into the hands of the mercenary leader.
"It's not a matter of money." The leader refused to let go.
Several packages of unexpired food and water were stuffed into the hands of the mercenary leader.
"This... this risk is too great." The leader visibly swallowed his saliva.
Hooray, Alaric snapped his fingers.
A strong wind blew by, and a huge monster corpse appeared from under the yellow sand.
Fresh ones, recently dead, can be sold for sky-high prices if broken down.
"Wait for me to go through the formalities." The mercenary leader manually replaced his shocked jaw and looked at the huge monster corpse with an expression of disbelief.
Outrageous bro.
……
Perhaps because the monster corpse shocked the mercenary leader so much, he even considerately arranged temporary workers for this group of 'mute' as rescued refugees.
"How do we find Musang?" Alaric wiped it with a rag, polishing the dusty glass until it shined.
"Please, we still have twenty-four hours to pass the inspection period." Sibel stroked his hair in displeasure.
If it hadn't been for an extraordinary period, she would have really wanted to gouge out the eyes of those men who were glued to her body.
"You can only enter the base through normal procedures, otherwise it will trigger time regression." Mu Chen whispered, "The bionic man will record the face of everyone who enters the base, and will expel them if they sneak in privately."
"Strange copy..." Sibel gritted his teeth. They couldn't even activate abilities at will.
"Brother, are we all infected with karma?" Su Rui sat on the ground, helping an old lady next to her distribute shriveled fruits to the children.
She loved children when she was alive, and now she couldn't bear to see the scarred and dirty children.
"We didn't go back in time, it was just a nod, so it shouldn't count." Mu Chen took over the conversation.
In fact, it is not because of the acquaintance, but because after the disaster strikes, all humans here will pass away.
Mu Chen's expression darkened as he looked at the children running around playing.
"How's it going? Is everything okay here?" Several small signs were thrown into the player's hands, and the mercenary leader seemed to have taken care of the matter.
"Oh, my baby, this is not something you can play with." He picked up the child squatting on the ground and took off the robotic arm tied to the child's arm.
[Thank you. ] Mu Chen gestured in sign language.
"It's a small matter. You are very capable. If you let the sun shine in the future, you will definitely live a good life." The mercenary leader raised his hand to indicate that he was not welcome.
‘The base was destroyed due to the earthquake and forced to wander. The original base was located next to a swamp, causing everyone’s throats to be hoarse. ’
This was the identity given to the mercenary leader by Mu Chen.
Fortunately, the news of the earthquake spread very quickly, and Rising Sun Base would receive notifications of the destruction of countless small bases and sub-bases every day.
The mercenary leader did not doubt these speechless 'outsiders'.
Moreover, there are bionic people everywhere here, and the 'eyes' of the base leader monitor everything in the base 24 hours a day.
It is basically impossible to cause trouble here.
Looking at the players secretly pushing the plot, Mu Chen silently withdrew his gaze.
He knew that Yun Chuan specially arranged for them to come in not to let them look for Mu Sang.
Rather, it allows them to truly experience the miserable lives of the people at the bottom of the world and see the displaced children and debris everywhere.
There are still 23 hours before the disaster, and everything here will be reduced to ashes.
As players, they can only watch quietly, watch people die in battle, and watch children cry.
There is nothing they can do, nothing can be changed.
Therefore, after learning the truth, can they be willing to experience it and save the future of their own world?
A teacher who sacrificed his life to save others, a businessman who grew up with a family, an officer who refused to treason until his death, a mercenary who has been with swords and guns all his life, and ordinary people who work step by step.
And me, how did I die?
Died due to drug arrest.
I will devote my whole life to the motherland I love.
Yunchuan once said that everyone here is carefully selected, and the endless copies may give them a thick shell.
But...they are by no means cold-blooded people.
(End of chapter)
The author said: The main god loves the eyes as always, and Kawakawazi worked hard to let them enter the base properly.
"There are no quiet years, it's all Chuan Chuanzi who is carrying the burden forward"
I also wish all the college entrance examination students a happy holiday, and may you win the gold list!
