Chapter 2 An Unstable World

The deep stone path leads to the center of the island, and Aritus walks lightly between the rough roads, occasionally revealing surveillance equipment and special weapons hidden in the cracks of the stones, although they are very well disguised with camouflage coating, they will still be detected by him.

For some reason, after being reborn, he was exceptionally sensitive to his senses, and easily noticed these good hidden mechanisms.

This stone path is a special access road for ordinary residents to travel from the outer zone to and from the safe zone. It is also the third barrier to protect the island, and its weapons are not only used to protect and defend against mutant life and deep-sea attacks, but also have many other purposes.

At the end of the stone path is a metal door embedded in the permanent fortifications, which is cast in Aojin composite material and specially treated, which has a strong resistance to energy and physical damage.

Aritus stood in the center of the gate, and after triggering several sensors, the middle of the gate emitted a subtle light that could be used for identification and identification.

"Radiation reaction test is normal...... Iris recognition through ......", and the synthetic electronic sound sounded through the sound system of the giant gate.

"Skull alignment complete...... Dear Mr. Arietes, welcome back. Your mother is urging you to go back through the management system. Although the electronically synthesized female voice is adjusted to sound very gentle, it is still only a mechanical imitation of a human being, and it does not make people feel real emotions.

"Mother, don't rush!" , Alitus looked at his watch and saw the message from his mother, and hurriedly replied. Stepping through the passage opened by the giant gate, you officially returned to the safe area of the gathering place of the new humans on the island.

The environment of the safe zone is very different from the outside, it is carved into the mountains, and it is obscured by a large camouflage coating, which is difficult for even the keen exploration of the deep sea to detect. There are nearly 10,000 new humans living here, and as the central administrative area of the Sin Chew Islands, the Sin Chew Town Guard Mansion is also set up here, and the eleven official admirals and their subordinate ship girls constitute the strongest military force and administrative organs on the islands.

Walking on the flat stone steps, Aritaus looked at the scene in front of him and seemed to have a hint of illusion.

The complete and exquisite buildings stand among the hollows of the mountain, the clean streets, the leisurely wandering passers-by, the still noisy shops, everything is as peaceful as in the previous life.

But soon he remembered again what he had seen in the morning through Gate 7.

It's a crazy and crisis-ridden era of fallout.

Although it is only an illusion for a moment, looking at the safe appearance in the safe zone, the environment will subtly soften people's inner sense of vigilance.

Following a path already familiar, Aritus stepped into a villa built on a core belt.

There is no barrier on the road, but very few humans have entered this villa area, because the residents of the safe area know that this area is divided into the admirals who rule the Sin Chew Islands.

In the era of fallout, power is synonymous with power. In particular, after the new human beings grasped the real power of the human race, the previous political structure was greatly optimized, and the local administrative institutions were all held by the admiral, and the central real power faction, even if they were not incumbent admirals, must also have rich experience in fighting against the deep sea.

There is only one reason for this: in the face of the terrifying existence of the deep sea, human rhetoric is useless, and people who rely on rhetoric cannot provide prestige. Powerful external pressures have forged the new human polity into a colossal machine with the power of war as its goal. It is precisely in this way that human beings can resist the invasion of the deep sea.

People who do not have enough power to protect themselves cannot give the strength to protect others, and naturally cannot have enough rights.

Alitus looked at the building again, although it was not as good as the mansions in his previous life, it was already an excellent place to live in a remote place like the Sin Chew Islands. The most important thing about a home is to provide a sense of belonging and security for the people who live in it.

Before he could pass the identity verification system at the door, Aritaus saw his mother standing at the door with a smile on his face, and raised his hand to signal Alitus to look at his watch.

11:59:12

Ignoring his mother's teasing, it took him 40 seconds to pass the identity verification and 8 seconds to run to the door, exactly on the hour.

"Oh, Xiaoya didn't even get late, if it was a little later, there would be no lunch and networking time today?" Although he said this with a smile on his face, Alytes knew very well that his mother was a very strict person with a strict sense of time, and if he accidentally violated it, he would be punished by a hellish bombardment of words......

"I'm a little late......," Aritus said obediently, hugging his mother, and justifying himself. Having come to terms with being a child, Aritheus expressed no pressure on such a distraction.

"Xiao Yake is confused...... It's safe here, but you still have to be careful outside the safe zone. The danger is more than that. The blonde beauty uttered something meaningful, but she didn't go on in detail.

"Got it." In a brief response to his mother's instructions, Ariteus followed her to the table, his eyes drawn to the man who was sitting at the table reading the newspaper.

The middle-aged man with the same light blue hair as himself, wearing a light blue uniform, looked no more than thirty years old, staring intently at the light screen in front of him, carefully scanning the dazzling text and various picture messages, and entering various instructions from time to time. Aritaus, who had long been accustomed to this scene, knew that the man was on business.

This is his father, one of the eleven official admirals in the Sin Chew Islands, commanding more than four fleets, and is an important person in maintaining the security of this area.

"Honey, it's time to eat~", Aritaus's father, who was sitting in front of the light screen on official business, was suddenly attacked by a blonde beauty burying his chest.

Alitus felt that it would be better for him not to pay too much attention to this scene.

"Hmm...... Okay, let go of the breathless...... Yes...... Someone is going to murder their own admiral, ahhhh......h Arites' eyes wandered, staring at the time on the wall, silently thinking about something else.

Year 2132

More than 100 years after the 'emerald' that changed the world and brought disaster and death fell into the world, the human world has undergone great changes. The group structure of human society has undergone a qualitative change, with the upper end composed of admirals and ship girls, the middle end is the elite of the new human race, and the lower level is a huge number of ordinary new human beings. Of course, the old humans who are not fully protected are not included here, because even if they survive, they rely on the patience and help of the new humans.

Human beings still tolerate and help the existence of old human beings because new human beings can be born from the old human race, and there is a high probability that the descendants of the new human race will give birth to the old human race. This reality forced the new human regime to ensure the continued survival of the old humans, and of course, the New World Federal Regulations, to which the Sin Chew Islands belonged, stipulated that the old humans did not have the right to settle on the mainland.

Prejudice and discrimination from more than 100 years ago still exist in this world, but their targets and positions have changed. The war in this world has never stopped, even if many new humans have begun to live a stable life today, but the commanders and ship girls who are fighting on the front line of the war can still feel the smoke floating on the sea, and the era of peace is still in the ethereal future.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Hmmm! Let go of the ......", the man who was still tortured by suffocation in the chest began to struggle, and the light curtain that was originally used for the office was closed at some point. At this time, Alytes had to consider the possibility of eating first, and it seemed that his mother was having a good time......

"Why are you so busy with things over there when you're all home......", Aritaus's mother finally let go of her husband and began to complain.

"Aren't you preparing to hand over the coastal defense affairs on the periphery...... I want to spend more time with you and my son, ......," the man sighed and explained to his wife.

"But this time, Isolt will take the initiative to take over the peripheral tasks...... It's unexpected......", Aritus's father hesitated slightly, and slowly spat out the doubts in his heart.

"Isn't that great...... Anyway, he has recently formed his own Fourth Fleet...... It's right to do something, right? Aritus' mother didn't seem to be much surprised.

"Forget it...... I'm a little hungry too, Xiaoya? Have you eaten? Instead of dwelling on the issue, Aritaus' father called his son, who was sitting on the side in a daze, over.

"Okay~", Aritus saw that his parents no longer talked about work matters, and also went to the dinner table.

………………

After the meal, Aritaus's parents had to go to the town guard mansion to deal with some important business because of their official duties, and Aritaus had to stay at home because of this.

The safe zone in the Planet Islands, where Aritus is now located, has been built less than fifteen years ago, and there are no educational institutions on the island where children can go to school, which of course makes him feel much more comfortable, after all, it is torture for a person with the soul of an uncle to pretend to be a child of several years old.

Of course, after the evolution of the world's technology and human beings, to some extent the traditional education model is no longer necessary. Many of the children of the new humans have a level of intelligence far superior to that of the old humans at the same age, and they also have the ability to learn independently. As for Aritus, who is more mature in soul, he has already mastered the federal language and its script, the canonical language of this world, as early as the age of three.

Idle and bored, Astra felt that she had used up the rest of the online time left today. Instead of using the ordinary World Wide Web, Arrites was going to go into his parents' bedroom and use his iris to unlock a special device that was sealed.

The Virtual Reality Network Connectivity Device (VRNC) generates a virtual image in the human brain by truncating and simulating human nerve conduction signals, and the device is able to connect to the backbone network to access the virtual world of the world.

For most of humanity in our time, virtual reality networks are a difficult area for them to set foot in. Although this technology has been invented a long time ago, it has been used in the military for various reasons in the outside world, and it is only recently that it has gradually been popularized into the new human society.

Of course, because of the special status of Astra's parents, he was able to borrow his father's equipment to access the virtual reality network, although the main purpose was to play a real-time action game......

Strap on the nerve link device and close your eyes. At first, all he saw was darkness, but when the virtual electronic signals gradually came and constructed into a very real world, he couldn't help but take a breath.

Although there are all kinds of unscientific existence in this world, the human technology tree still grows vigorously under the bending of external forces...... For example, the virtual reality equipment he is using now.

Coming to the familiar interface, clicking on the login window of a game and confirming his identity, the world around him dissolves and reorganizes like a particle of light, and the gladiatorial arena of ancient Rome appears in front of his eyes from clear to vague, while he also 'hears' the noisy background sound.

clicked on his main interface, and found that the only name in the friend column was gray, and he couldn't help sighing, thinking that he could only fight alone today...... Maybe you'll be beaten up by the guy who beat you up last time, right? But he didn't hesitate, and jumped straight out of the gladiatorial arena, looking for the opponents from yesterday......

At night, when Arrites' father returned to his room to work with a virtual network connector, he seemed to remember something and typed in a series of commands. The pop-up window was playing the video of Aritus's action game in the afternoon, and a string of complex data was flowing rapidly.

"Hey...... This kid's nervous reaction is a bit exaggerated, and it's my son. It seems that he will soon get tired of playing this game......", the man looked at the nervous reaction judgment report and some key game videos with satisfaction, and continued to busy himself with his own business.

But the man also knows that the nervous reaction can only be used as one of the criteria for judging the possibility of opening the spiritual power, and as for whether or not the mental power can be awakened and become a commander, it takes luck and opportunity.

As an admiral, he knows better than anyone what the admiral has and what obligations he has, and he also wants his children to live their lives in peace. But in this age of fallout, all such thoughts are just delusions. This is not the era of more than 100 years ago when individual human beings could obtain social status by relying on wisdom alone, and it is absolutely impossible for people who have no strength and no brains to become survivors of disasters in the face of external crises.

"Although I don't want you to become an admiral to face this cruel world, it is a sad ...... to have no power to protect yourself in this world", a low sigh echoed in the room, full of unspeakable pain.
