Chapter 599: Up the Mountain and Down the Mountain

The end of the world is not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is that the end of the world is coming.

The young man's name is Ling Ni, and he has a very cheerful personality, and Cheng Yun bought a ticket with him to hike the mountain. Both of them have good physical strength and climb quickly.

However, there were many more people he met along the way than Cheng Yun imagined. From the young girl with a young face who looks like she should be in high school, to the old man with gray temples and walking slowly up with trekking poles, but more often there are young people, mostly walking in groups, and the age of the earth should be between twenty and forty years old.

Nothing seems to stop them.

The stairs were steep, and the two kept outpacing the other climbers, and Lynnie would stop from time to time to take a picture and say hello and chat with the other tired and panting climbers.

Everyone was smiling.

When they were about a third of the way through, it was already noon, the two of them found a platform to sit down, took out the dry food they bought at the foot of the mountain to eat, replenished some water, Cheng Yun looked around, and Ling Ni ran to chat with other climbers, and then set off again.

If you go up further, you will meet people going up and down the mountain.

Everyone is tired and tired to go up the mountain, at this time they have reached the top and descended the mountain, and the latecomers are still in the torment, the heart of the descendant is relaxed and satisfied, with a smile on his face.

"Come on!" many people who go down the mountain will choose to say this to the people they meet on the mountain, anyway, it is just a casual sentence, if it can bring a good mood to the other party and themselves, why not do it.

"Come on!" Lynnie returned.

"You're fast, you're all here!"

"It's okay......"

"Come on ......"

"How long do you have to walk from the corridor above the clouds......

There is a lot of encouragement along the way, and all of this encouragement comes from strangers, as if the mountain trail is a collection of goodwill from all over the world.

It was also at this time that Cheng Yun realized that maybe 'the end of the world is coming' would be terrible, but maybe it wouldn't be so scary.

Some people may be crazy, but there will also be people who stick to themselves.

This is related to human nature, but also to everyone's literacy, mentality, and the atmosphere and system of the whole society.

Yuqu Mountain is very high, and its slender and graceful body brings a steep and steep climbing path, and few people can reach the top in one go. Most people choose to start the climb at the base of the mountain early in the morning, climb the cloud corridor close to the top of the mountain at dusk, repair the cloud corridor for the night, and leave the extra luggage at the hotel in the cloud corridor the next morning to reach the summit with plenty of energy.

With a full night's rest and light travel, it only takes about two hours to reach the top.

Many people can reach the cloud corridor before 8 p.m., but even then few people dare to continue to the summit, because the climb has already consumed too much physical strength and physical fatigue, and the altitude is too high and the physical exertion is intense, and it is likely that the summit will fail under the influence of one or the other.

Sleeping in a no-man's land at night can be very dangerous, and with no starry sky or sunrise to see in this world, it doesn't make much sense to rush to the top.

But Cheng Yun was open, and Ling Ni was also young and vigorous, so the two agreed that if they could reach the corridor on the clouds before seven forty, they would rush to the top in one go.

The time in this world is in the decimal system, and with the lights off, 7:40 is roughly equivalent to 4 p.m. on Earth.

At around 7:30, the two had arrived at the corridor on the clouds.

It's so high that you can see the top of the mountain when you look up, and you can see the sea of clouds churning when you look down.

Unlike the high mountain scenery of the earth, there is also a man-made facility on this planet that is comparable to the magnificence of nature, a global device called 'eggshell' -

As I looked, I saw a huge pillar of light rising into the sky in the sea of clouds, the light was dazzling, and it spread out into a barrier on the canopy that seemed to be within reach, and the barrier continued to the edge of the line of sight, connecting with other pillars of light on the ground line.

Cheng Yun couldn't help but take a deep breath, and at the same time stared at this scene with wide eyes, his heart was both surprised and open.

The direction of the nearest pillar of light was Jushi City, the same city he was in before, while the other pillars of light were far away, and they looked a little blurry because they didn't know where they were.

The pillars of light that pierced the clouds and supported the sky, the barriers that enveloped the entire earth, faintly visible arcs and emitted light, easily took away the magnificence of the sea of clouds, and became the most eye-catching scenery in Cheng Yun's eyes.

Lynnie said from the side, "Your first time climbing the mountain?"

"Hmm. ”

"Haven't flown before?"

"Nope. ”

"Oh......" Lynnie asked with a long smile after dragging a long tail note, "Spectacular, isn't it?"

"Well, it's spectacular!"

Let's go and ask if the hotel on the top of the mountain is open, and if it doesn't, when you go up the mountain, you can only sleep in a tent with me!"

"That's a hassle for you. ”

Originally, I should have advised you to check the information below, but I was afraid that no one would team up with me, and I wouldn't have fun alone, so I didn't say anything and brought you up. Lenny smiled sheepishly, "This is what I should do." ”

"Can this also be called......" Cheng Yun shook his head.

"Uncle, I'll ask you something!" Lynnie had already walked up to a commissary.

"Huh?"

"Let me ask, is the inn on the top of the mountain open?"

"It wasn't open before, but it's been open for the past two days. The owner of the commissary thought for a moment and said, "It should be open, I'll come back with them." ”

"Didn't open it before?"

"Well, didn't it be rumored that the world was over, so they all went down the mountain to prepare supplies or accompany their families. ”

"Then why did you come back these two days?" Lynnie wondered.

"The sun and the starry sky appeared two days ago, and we want to see it too!" the commissary owner looked up at the sky with yearning.

"Oh, thank you!"

"No thanks!"

Ling Ni didn't mention buying a bottle of water or anything, he looked at Cheng Yun and continued to walk up the mountain, and asked as he went, "Did you come to climb the mountain because you wanted to see the starry sky and the sun?"

"It's not. ”

"Isn't it?" Ling Ni was stunned, he just came to try his luck to see if he could encounter the wonder that only appeared once in hundreds of millions of years, and the official has not given an explanation so far, this mountain top is always much clearer than the bottom of the mountain, "You should know the sun the morning before yesterday, do you know that there is also a starry sky with the sun, we can't see it, the opposite hemisphere is on the back side of the sun, you can see it by crossing the eggshell with a device...... It's so beautiful I want to cry!"

"I don't have internet access. ”

"Oh, that's a shame...... No, I'll have to show you!I've saved the picture!" So Ling Ni began to force Cheng Yun to look at the pictures he saved, and secretly observed whether Cheng Yun was as inexplicably moved as him.

However, to his disappointment, Cheng Yun has been calm.

"It's beautiful. Cheng Yun said.

"And the sun! The sun's light is much more comfortable than an eggshell, like fire!" Lynnie decided to change the subject.

"Hmmm......"

“……”

Ling Ni was immediately helpless, this guy is not cheerful enough!

The two of them continued on their way, and finally reached the top of the mountain before the eggshell completely stopped supplying light, but unfortunately there was no dusk, no sunset, no sunset in the sea of clouds in the west.

There are two inns on the top of the mountain, both of which are open.

Lenny paid ten yuan and set up a tent on the hotel's viewing terrace, where he could use the hotel's toilet and drinking water for free, and could also go into the hotel's living room for heating or entertainment, which was much more comfortable than setting up a tent in the wilderness.

Cheng Yun booked a viewing room, and he could see the lighted hiking path like a long winding snake.

In the evening, a fire lit up in the middle of the inn's living room, and a group of people who loved the distance sat around the fire, either simply baking the fire or gathering together to chat happily.

Cheng Yun was also pulled over by Ling Ni, but he was a little silent, just quietly listening to their chat.

Within a few words, he could tell that most of these people were looking forward to the reappearance of the cosmic vision the day before yesterday, so they had come to climb the mountain to see more clearly. Although they knew that this was the first time in history that something appeared in the sky, and that the sun and stars only existed in the archaeological discoveries that had been falsified, since they had seen the brilliant starry sky on the Internet, they knew that it was their lifelong yearning and could not be avoided.

It's a pity that Cheng Yun knows that I'm afraid they won't be able to see the gorgeous and charming starry sky again in this life, and they won't be able to enjoy the sunshine like fire.

Then a group of young people quickly turned the topic to 'the end of the world', a topic that could not be avoided in the past two years.

First the universe is getting colder, the eggshell is constantly upgrading to keep the temperature for this planet, and then there is human infertility, and the topic of 'the end of the world' is getting hotter and hotter, and many prophecies of ancient civilizations and chaotic sects have popped up, until the cosmic vision of the day before yesterday.

Some people say that it is the return of the universe, allowing them to see the universe that was once full of life.

Some people say that it is a physical phenomenon, and it may have something to do with human infertility.

Some people believe that the 'end of the world' is coming, while others feel that the end of the world has nothing to do with these events.

Ling Ni sat next to Cheng Yun, he still took good care of this companion who was a little stuffy, and gently touched Cheng Yun who seemed to be distracted with his elbow, and asked, "Why don't you chat, let's chat, how good." ”

Cheng Yun smiled slightly: "I'll just listen to it." ”

Lynnie sighed.

He could clearly see that Cheng Yun was either introverted, he just didn't want to speak, and he seemed to be in a heavy mood, which made him a little unsure of how to persuade him for a while.

At this time, I heard a girl say: "If the dungeon can be repaired, it must be better than the effect of eggshells, biological sterilization may be some kind of virus, although we haven't solved this problem in two years, but it will take another five or ten years, and it will be broken." The end of the world will definitely come, but I don't think we will see the day of the end of the world. ”

Her boyfriend echoed: "These are all from some cults and public knowledge to attract people's attention!"

A man who looked to be in his thirties and wore a peaked cap smiled: "You don't know, I don't know much about underground cities, but I know more about sterilization." ”

When everyone saw that they were about to hear the dry goods, they immediately showed interest.

I only heard the man say: "The problem now is not that we can't have children, although it is reported on the news, but the fact is that in the past two years, we humans have not had any new life, the concept is different, do you understand?" ”

"It's like a curse, and a race that suffers from this curse can't produce new life!"

"No matter what, not even cloning!"

"Can't you clone?" Lynnie said in surprise.

"Yes, so I say it's like a curse that cuts off our racial continuity in a way that we can't understand, we can't observe, we can't resist. The man said.

"Really?"

Everyone was a little stunned.

If you think about it, you can often hear about cloning small animals, but now that many animals are on the verge of extinction, we still haven't heard of any successful cloning cases.

That's a little too scary!

The man paused, then added: "If it takes decades and we can't solve this problem, then governments will have to give up and go all out on virtual technology." When the time comes, turn us into data, upload it online, and survive in another form. ”

The crowd exclaimed again, some thought it was too cool, some thought it was crazy.

Ling Ni leaned into Cheng Yun's ear and whispered, "Do you believe in the end of the world?"

"The world will be destroyed one day. ”

Lynnie immediately smiled: "I think so too!"

Cheng Yun also smiled.

is approaching the end, many people still have good hearts, and many people still refuse to give up, which will only add a touch of heaviness to Cheng Yun, who knows that this civilization will be destroyed no matter what.

Perhaps, allowing them to live their lives in their entirety until the last creature that can feel the pain of the 'end of the world' dies is already a gift from Muyin. As for those who have not yet been born, let them not be born again, and let them stop there before they have time to become life, and no longer be the meaning of this world.

The night passed, but the stars did not come after all, and the sun did not shine on the earth, and the light of the eggshell brightened.

Some people decide to keep waiting, while others choose to regret it.

Ling Ni chose to wait, so Cheng Yun was the only one left on the way down the mountain, and when he met the hard-working climbers, he would also smile gently at them, and he should be encouraged.

Then he wandered around the world for a few more days.

During this period, I met several crazy Ethereal Spirit Sect believers, who wanted to pull Cheng Yun into the sect, but they didn't do anything radical.

met the nominal crown prince of the winning country, and the young man was very loved, a bit like a star, and he was peerless.

He also participated in a public speech by a well-known politician, who applauded when he said that the whole world would do its best to ensure the reproduction of the human race and the continuation of civilization.

In the back, it is already a bit of a sightseeing, mainly to experience the different cultures of this world.

He has visited underground cities under construction, visited one of the eggshell launchers, seen beasts with special abilities unique to this world, and tasted a variety of delicacies......

A few days later, he said goodbye to Muyin.

This time it was the real Mu Yin who communicated with him, and when he said the words 'poor hospitality' in that cold voice that seemed to be programmed, it really gave Cheng Yun a strange feeling. And the young Mu Yin did not appear.

After saying goodbye, Mu Yin personally sent Cheng Yun back, saving Cheng Yun the energy of a space-time prop.

When the familiar feeling filled his surroundings, Cheng Yun couldn't help but sigh, looking at the two suspended points of light, maybe he would have to wait until then to see Mu Yin again.

But that's also different from the Muyin he knows, right?

Cheng Yun was in a very heavy mood.

At the same time that the death sentence of that planet was announced, it was also the death sentence of himself, I wonder if Mu Yin would have a little abnormal emotion in his heart when he made this decision?
