Chapter 7: This New World
Under the guidance of Lin Sanjiu, Marser drove all the way to the downstairs of the apartment on the 38th floor, and found a secluded place to stop and rest.
After all, it's a top-tier community, and there are far fewer people than outside. Even in this unrecognizable world, the garden at this time still looks so quiet and chic.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Sanjiu blocked the broken car window and turned on the air conditioner. Now Jumi is gone...... There is no point in saving oil and electricity. The cool environment will not only help her recover faster, but it will also be good for the wound on her neck, which will not cause inflammation and infection in the high temperature...... It's just that although the reason is very clear, when the cold wind blows, she is still a little gloomy.
Lu Ze looked at her expression, sighed and said, "Eldest sister, don't be too sad. Your friend...... At last, he didn't die at the hands of the fallen seed......"
After experiencing a life-and-death situation together, the relationship between the two sides had already become much closer unconsciously-Lin Sanjiu felt Lu Ze's kindness, smiled, and said after a while: "Can you stop calling me eldest sister?" I'm really not much older than you...... By the way, I haven't had time to introduce myself just now, my name is Lin Sanjiu. Well, just ...... Just evolved. β
"Why is your name so special?" Lu Ze had an expression of "if you compare the name, you will lose", "Then I'll call you a small bar...... By the way, why do you have a towel around your neck? β
"Oh!" A word reminded Lin Sanjiu, and she hurriedly untied the wet and hot towel, revealing the bloody wound underneath. When Lu Ze saw it, he immediately gasped, and Marser also raised his eyebrows and looked at her suspiciously. Lin Sanjiu opened a bottle of pure water, and while cleaning the wound, he told the ins and outs of Ren Nan's matter. --Probably the reason why these two people saved her once in a critical moment, Lin Sanjiu was very willing to trust them at this time.
After saying it in a few words, when he looked at it again, Lu Ze's mouth opened wide and his face was incredulous. Marser had been frowning and silent, and suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the bottle of pure water, and said to Lin Sanjiu, who was stunned: "Let me come, I am also a person who has studied medicine for two years." With that, she pulled out a roll of bandages and some antibiotics from her fanny pack.
β¦β¦ Does the differentiated personality also have its own complete life experience? Lin Sanjiu glanced at Lu Ze puzzled, didn't say anything, but obediently raised his head and swallowed two tablets of antibiotics. With Mather's technique, it didn't take long for the wound on her neck to be properly treated.
After listening to the story, Lu Ze was a little unable to come back to his senses for a while: "I've heard of this cannibalistic ability before...... It's just that I've never met Marser and I, and I always thought it was an urban legend, but I didn't expect it to be true. This Ren Nan probably just evolved not long ago, and he was killed by you so lightly. Otherwise, in time, what will he become! β
"He shouldn't be from our world, I've never heard of such a person before." Marser said quietly. - After getting along for half a night, Lin Sanjiu also saw that although Marser could not fight, he was agile, had a calm personality, and had a wide range of experience (?). It feels more reliable than Luze.
"Explain to me what kind of world this is...... What the hell is going on, how many worlds are there? Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but ask Marse.
"Why don't you ask ......Marser and don't ask me," Luzer's unfounded protest sounded beside him. As if he hadn't heard, Marser asked Lin Sanjiu a question: "Have you heard of the parallel space theory?" β
Lin Sanjiu said "ah" and said: "Outside of our universe, there are countless parallel universes - every measurement behavior, or even each person's choice is different, may split, no, create a new parallel space?" β
She is also someone who has read a lot of science fiction novels, and she still knows this.
Marssure's face was calm, and he nodded and said, "That's right. I don't know how many people there are in your world, there are 4.3 billion people in our world. Every choice made in each person's life will split into a new space. You chose to take the left path this morning, and you in another dimension chose the right way...... And everyone in the new space will continue to create new spaces. In this way, no one knows how many 'worlds' there are in total - this number is infinite. β
"Originally, we all lived well in our own space, and we would never meet someone in another space in our lifetime. But for some reason, some parallel spaces began to mutate...... Just like here. β
Taking advantage of the time when Marser paused for a moment, Lin Sanjiu hurriedly asked, "Could it be that everything is like here, it has become a high-temperature environment?" β
The answer to her was Lu Ze, whose face was rare and heavy: "Not necessarily. In our world, there is a virus leak...... More than half of the people died from the plague caused by the virus. β
Lin Sanjiu suddenly thought that he probably had lost his relatives and friends in his own world......
There was silence in the carriage for a few seconds, but Marser broke the silence and continued: "No one can say how many parallel spaces have mutated at the same time, but it is certain that this number will not be small. We survived the virus and evolved, so we thought we would just have to try to survive. Butβ"
Marser paused, as if considering a suitable statement.
"By the time we were in the 14th month, Luzer and I had adapted to a new world full of plagues and depravity. But it was at this time that he began to have the same dream over and over again......"
Luzer said duly: "At that time I dreamed every night of a place where there was a permanent war...... All kinds of wars, real fights, fighter jets, biological attacks...... Every one of the people there is red-eyed, and every side says that the other side is a degenerate seed, and no one knows the truth, but they keep throwing themselves into new wars. Those who refuse to go to war will immediately become the public enemy of all mankind and will be hunted down to death by people all over the world. β
Lin Sanjiu had a faint premonition in his heart that was not very good-Sure enough, as soon as Lu Ze's words stopped, Marser nodded and said: "The 14th month has passed, and on the first day of the 15th month, Lu Ze and I woke up and found ourselves lying on a battlefield. Can you imagine? We had just opened our eyes, and before we knew where we were, a bomb was dropped fifty meters away......"
"After 13 months of hard work in that world full of war, I started dreaming again......" Lu Ze smiled bitterly and looked at Lin Sanjiu meaningfully.
In the cool air conditioning in the car, a drop of sweat crawled down Lin Sanjiu's forehead. "This time, you dreamed of a world of high temperatures...... Right? β
Lu Ze sighed, nodded and said, "That's right. Today is the first day of the 15th month, and for us, the first day of the first month in this new world. Lin Sanjiu opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Lu Ze seemed to have guessed what she was going to say: "It's not just me who has this kind of dream. In both worlds, almost all the evolutionary humans I met would dream at the 14th month. And...... Everyone dreams of different places. β
His heart thumped a few times, and Lin Sanjiu was a little incredulous: "In this way, I will ...... in 14 months."
"Go to another 'new world.'" Marser said in the affirmative. "Probably because I'm a split personality, I'm the only one who never dreamed - I just followed Luzer." β
"One more thing, you should know." Luzer added, "On the first day of the 14th month, you'll have a 'dice dream.'" In this dream, there is a huge, illegible dice that will be thrown high into the air and fall down - the upward side of the drop will have the name of the next world you are going to. The first name I dreamed of was 'Blood Stained the Land Black' and the second was 'Extreme Temperature Hell'. β
Extreme temperature hell? Dice? Roll the dice to decide where you want to go? -- One unimaginable news after another filled Lin Sanjiu's brain, and she digested it for a while before she suddenly came to her senses: "Slow down...... You just said that every evolved human dream is different, that is, this dice are randomly chosen in an infinite parallel space-"
This means that once she leaves, she may never return to the place where she was born and raised for the rest of her life.
No, more than thatβit also means that when the 14 months are up, Luzer and Mather will be sent to a ghost who knows which alternate dimension, and there is a possibility that they will never meet again.
It's a strange feeling to meet two people you can trust, only to be told right away that you're going to be separated.
The glass of the car had already been covered with a thin layer of water - and it was clear that the temperature outside had risen again in the midst of a few moments of talking. Lin Sanjiu turned down the air conditioner a little, and suddenly realized a possibility in the silence. "Wait, in the theory of parallel space, there are countless 'I's'. So in other words, it is possible that I will meet another me in another world? β
Unexpectedly, Marser shook her head firmly.
"Like Darwin's theory of evolution, the theory of parallel space is only one of the theories that we know so far and can best explain this 'dice world', not the truth. But what you just said is precisely a flaw in this theory of parallel space; Because in another new world, there is no other you at all. β
Lin Sanjiu was in a trance, the amount of information tonight was too much, she couldn't help leaning back in her chair, her mind was full of information about the new world, and she was speechless for a while.
Suddenly, there was a soft sound in the car, and when she looked up, she saw that the nails on Marser's index finger had turned into long steel armor, and he was looking at her, with a glint of anticipation in his eyes: "...... Now, can I have my blood drawn? β
