Chapter 246: The End
"Squeak!"
What a big crucian carp!
The width of the finger is often used in the fish market to calculate the size of the fish, wild crucian carp is common with two to three fingers, and most of the farmed crucian carp are three and a half fingers, but at this moment, the dark crucian carp that is active in the small stream waterhole drained by Lu Feng is definitely more than four fingers, and the dark and fat back is comparable to the width of Lu Feng's body.
If it weren't for the fact that the last place where the stream converged was a naturally generated groove of rocks, the dam built by Lu Feng with fist-sized stones and dead branches and mud alone would definitely not be able to withstand the violent activities of this big crucian carp!
"Squeak!"
Lu Feng, what's wrong?
Seeing the splashing water in the pool, Yao Lehuan also threw away the dogtail grass in his paws, and quickly ran to Lu Feng's side, and naturally saw the big crucian carp swimming in the pool.
"Squeak!"
What a big crucian carp!
So it ended up in this little pond?
"Squeak!"
Where did it come from?
Naturally, it swam from the creek!
Communicating with Yao Lehuan, Lu Feng turned his head to look at the upstream of the pool, as a stream that had just begun to flow, the stream that Lu Feng guided did not have much water, it was only able to soak the mud, plus a little liquid, if it wasn't for Lu Feng building six dams along the way, this crucian carp would not have been able to get here.
"Squeak!"
This crucian carp is so pitiful!
Why don't we send it back into the creek!
Reunited with Lu Feng, Yao Lehuan regained his happiness, and seeing the big crucian carp swimming in the small pond, Yao Lehuan couldn't help but feel compassion, and didn't want a life to disappear like this.
"Squeak!"
All right!
After pondering for a while, Lu Feng decided to follow Yao Lehuan's advice, although this big crucian carp is very fat and wild at first glance, but his wife's words still have to be listened to, and the waterhole that has just gathered is also very small, so small that the big crucian carp swims in it sideways, and also shows a slippery and greasy dorsal fin on the water, maybe now that the temperature is acceptable, the big crucian carp can still survive, but when winter comes, it will definitely freeze into an ice fish!
"Plop!"
"Whoa~!"
Jumping, Lu Feng jumped into the pool, and immediately the water splashed and the tide was surging. Although the fish can only die on the ground, it is infinitely powerful in the water, and finally, after some struggle, Lu Feng finally firmly controlled the big crucian carp in his arms, and then waded through the stream that soaked his chest and climbed to the ground.
"Squeak!"
Without caring about wiping the stream water on his body, Lu Feng let out a chirp and called out to Yao Lehuan, and then the two squirrels held a big fish and walked towards the western edge of Lu Feng's territory.
They followed the stream drained by Lu Feng, and every time they reached a dam, Lu Feng would let the big crucian carp soak in the dam and regain a little vitality before going back on the road until the next dam.
And behind them, every time they cross a dam, a few squirrels will emerge from unknown locations and follow behind Lu Feng and Yao Lehuan.
Some of these squirrels are fat, some are strong, some are slender, some are petite, some have striped fur, and some even have flames or bright crystals on their fur.
They didn't make any sound, and just followed silently, and their numbers kept increasing.
As they pass the last dam, a giant snapping turtle with an emerald green acorn and a giant Maine on its back also joins the group and crawls slowly at the end of the group.
"Squeak!"
It's here!
You, free!
Glancing at Yao Lehuan, Lu Feng, who finally came to the side of the stream, bent down and slowly put the big black crucian carp into the stream, and then he slowly released his two front paws, so the long tail shook the water waves and made a whistle, and the big crucian carp quickly swung its fins, and soon disappeared into the depths of the clear stream.
Then, Lu Feng turned his head to look behind him, the squirrel had a happy smile on his face, and his big black eyes were also narrowed into a bend of the moon, and with his smile, the squirrel behind him and the others also showed the same smile, looking at each other and laughing............
…………
"Ding Ling Ling Ling~!"
In the dark room was a rudimentary, old machine, with a large number of wires, bearings, and pipes exposed, rusty, and creaking as it turned.
The only thing that was more comfortable on the machine was a shabby leather couch, on which a young man with atrophied limbs as atrophied as bamboo poles sat with his eyes closed, his head hanging low and breathing faintly, and from the back of his head, a slender metal wire ran out along with a milky white conduit attached to the rudimentary and old machine.
"Jingle Bell Bell~"
"Thirty-two seconds until the user reaches the end of the year!"
"Thirty-one seconds!"
"Thirty seconds!"
"Prepare to cut off the energy!"
A beam of light peeks in through the only bowl-sized window in the gloomy room, revealing the outside world.
There was no sun in the gray sky, only the dim glow of countless man-made headlights, and on the crisscrossed roads on the ground, countless people in gas masks stepped on the rail elevators, and were carried quickly between the countless towering buildings connecting heaven and earth.
"Countdown to cut off energy and nutrient solution!"
"Twenty-nine seconds!"
"Twenty-eight seconds!"
"Twenty-seven seconds!"
In the year 2292, the country disappeared, the oil energy was exhausted, the environment was extremely polluted, the earth's population exceeded 50 billion, and the human committee, which ruled all mankind, made a cruel decision: to carry out artificial survival of the fittest for all mankind!
Of course, human civilization has evolved to the point where it does not brutally kill its own kind, but any human who fails to pass the test will be sent to some kind of special machine to force sleep.
And such a comprehensive test is counted from birth and goes through about three times.
"Nutrient solution cut off!"
"Countdown to energy cut-off!"
"Ten seconds!"
"Nine seconds!"
"Eight seconds!"
Perhaps compared to humans living outside as normal people, it seems happier to be able to sleep in their dreams and experience different worlds, and even to think about things, but this happiness has time.
Due to the depletion of global resources, each human being forced to sleep only has ten years to sleep, and once the time is exhausted, the machine will automatically cut off the energy and nutrient solution, so that the forced sleeping human will die in his sleep. Subsequently, the room is cleared and sent in again to humans who need to be forced to sleep.
"Seven seconds!"
"Six seconds!"
"Five seconds!"
"Four seconds!"
In the electronic tone of the machine, with the slight stinging of the nutrient solution being cut off, Lu Feng slowly opened his transparent eyelids, allowing his eyes that had not been opened for ten years to receive light again.
There are no loved ones, no lovers, everything is virtual.
His parents had died during his ten years of sleep, and his lover Yao Lehuan was Lu Feng's classmate who had a crush since childhood, and because he did not pass the adult test, Lu Feng was sent here to be forced to sleep.
"Three seconds!"
"Two seconds!"
"One second!"
Lifting his head with the atrophied muscles of his neck with difficulty, Lu Feng looked up at the last glance at the light coming in from the bowl-sized window on the wall, and his vocal cords, which had not bounced for ten years, stumbled twice, and finally let out a hoarse sigh.
And along with this sigh, there was a last monotonous electronic sound!
"One second!"
"Energy cut-off!"
With a sound like an air valve opening, the metal wire and the milky white catheter suddenly fell off the back of Lu Feng's head, and then a stream of pale red blood slowly ooped out from the catheter, and then Lu Feng's body slowly slid down from the sofa like a puddle of muddy water, and his slender neck could not support his head, and he fell to the side obliquely.
"Crunch!"
With the sound of the rusty door shaft turning, two normal humans wearing gas masks quickly entered through the door, discarding Lu Feng's body at random and pushing it into the small cart in the room, and then two normal humans carried a young man into the room.
They skillfully placed the youth on the bloodstained sofa, picked up the energy line and the nutrient solution catheter and briskly inserted it into the interface that had been prepared at the back of the youth's head, and at the same time fixed the youth's limbs on the sofa with a fixed stand, and then pressed a hidden red button on the machine behind the youth.
"Drop!"
"The dream come true reboot is complete, and the time is set to 3,650 days, 6 hours, and 24 seconds!"
"Now the countdown begins!"
“…………”
On the dilapidated sofa, the young man let out a slight snoring sound, moved his body slightly, and fell into a deep sleep............
