It was Sophia, Lucia's eldest daughter.

"What are you doing here!?"

Sophia didn't speak, but Chu Tianjiang could feel that she was very nervous and still trembling slightly, as if something bad had happened.

"What are you doing here?" Chu Tianjiang went to light the oil lamp, and his tone softened a little.

Sophia was naked, curled up in the corner of the bed, trying her best to cover the hidden parts of her body with her limbs, and looked at Chu Tianjiang timidly. "Mom...... Mom asked me to stay with you......"

"What?"

"Mom said, there's a chance you're going to get out of here, let me ...... Let me be with you. ”

Chu Tianjiang's eyes immediately widened, looking extremely surprised. However, Chu Tianjiang immediately understood.

The place where the farm is located is extremely remote, so to speak, inaccessible, the nearest farm is more than a thousand miles away, and few people usually come here. Obviously, people here need outsiders, they need genes from the outside world, otherwise it won't be long before something goes wrong.

Perhaps, problems caused by inbreeding have already arisen.

In the evening, Chu Tianjiang noticed that the onlookers were mainly elderly, and there were very few children like Tommy, less than ten in total.

However, the farm has only been established for decades, and the inhabitants are settlers from all over the country, so it is impossible for inbreeding problems to arise so quickly.

Could there be another reason?

Chu Tianjiang sighed secretly and said, "Go out, I don't need you." ”

Skylar ......

Chu Tianjiang ignored Sophia anymore and lay down in the corner of the bed. Although the bed was not very big, it was big enough to sleep two people, and he didn't have the slightest idea about Sophia.

It's not that Sophia isn't young and beautiful enough, but Chu Tianjiang knows that his mission will bring danger to everyone around him.

Thinking of this question, Chu Tianjiang suddenly realized that staying here would only kill Lucia's entire family and everyone on the farm. Even if the harsh winter is coming, he can't stay here. Regardless, Lucia helped him through the storm and couldn't bring the disaster to them.

In the middle of the night, Chu Tianjiang woke up.

Sophia was already asleep next to her, although she was very close, she didn't deliberately lean on Chu Tianjiang, but maintained a reserved appearance.

Chu Tianjiang summoned the figure.

"You want to get out of here?"

"What can I do if I stay?" Chu Tianjiang asked rhetorically, "This is just a farm, or a village, they are all reclamation people, and the things they know are very limited, and they don't have superpowers, just ordinary survivors." If you want to have a deeper understanding of this world, you can only go somewhere else. ”

"You're right, but I wouldn't advise you to leave now."

"For what?"

"Jack and Lucia didn't lie to you, winter is coming."

"Really?"

The figure nodded and said, "I observed the starry sky, as well as the height of the shadow at sunset, combined with the angle of the earth's magnetic field and the lunar ring, and calculated the latitude where the farm is located. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Forty-three degrees and thirty minutes north latitude, the error will not exceed ten degrees."

"North temperate?"

The figure nodded again and said, "After the gravitational field of the moon disappeared, the tilt angle of the Earth's orbit gradually disappeared, and the equatorial plane coincided with the ecliptic plane. Although there are still seasonal variations in the mid-latitudes due to the eccentricity of the Earth's orbit, it is no longer so obvious. This conclusion is only for solar radiation, that is, the sunlight received by the earth, and does not take into account the influence of other factors. ”

"What factors?"

"North and South Poles."

"This ......"

"In winter, when the Earth reaches aphelion in its orbit, the glaciers at the North and South Poles will expand, reflecting more sunlight into space, which will cause the Earth to receive more heat and thus the overall temperature of the oceans to decrease. Because the ocean has a stronger heat storage capacity than the land, a low pressure center will form over the ocean and a high pressure center will form over the land. As a result, the heat on land is taken away, the temperature becomes cooler, and the impact on the interior is more pronounced. Of course, this is just basic meteorological principles. After the arrival of winter, the temperature in the interior of the Eurasian continent, that is, the Old World, will drop to about minus 60 degrees Celsius, and the higher latitudes will be even colder. In this environment, no one can be in the wild. ”

"Must stay?"

"It's better to stay. If you insist on leaving, I can't stop it. ”

Chu Tianjiang was silent, he really didn't want to stay here, but now it seemed that he had to stay, at least until the harsh winter passed, he had to stay on the farm.

"How long will the winter last?"

"About two months, no more than three months at most."

"Not half a year?"

"The Northern Hemisphere is dominated by land and the ocean is much smaller, so winters last much shorter. In the Southern Hemisphere, winter lasts for more than four months. ”

Chu Tianjiang sighed and said, "I'll think about it again." Have you figured out the situation in this world? ”

"You can already understand and speak their language, but in other aspects, there is too little information to be clear for the time being."

"Anything else?"

"From the latitude, the farm should be in the heart of the Old World, thousands of miles to the nearest coastline. Based on your conversation with Jack, I have preliminarily judged that 'li' is a unit of distance, which is roughly equivalent to 'li' in our time, that is, 500 meters. The figure paused for a moment and said, "Actually, you still can't understand their language, I just wrote a translation program in your brain that can automatically translate the words you hear into words that you can hear, and through this program you can influence your pronunciation to make you speak their language." On quantifiers like distance units, I've only made a vague translation. ”

"I don't need to explain this, I want to know what year it is?"

"I think it's better for you not to know the Tao."

"For what?"

The figure hesitated for a moment, and said, "Because the information I have obtained is very limited, I don't know what year it is now, but by comparing the star map, it is certain that it has been a long time since the year when I was dormant, that is, the fourth and seventh year of the disaster calendar. ”

"How long?"

"Thousands, even tens of thousands."

"What!?" Chu Tianjiang almost jumped. It took a long time before Chu Tianjiang calmed down. "No...... It can't be ......"

"Nothing is impossible."

Chu Tianjiang was taken aback. "You...... You've known the Tao for a long time!? ”

The figure did not speak, nor did there any change in demeanor.

"I know the Dao, you already know the Dao, you must have known the Dao."

The figure nodded slightly, and said, "The one who maintains the hibernation cabin is the energy body you left for the professor to do research. During your hibernation, the energy body is constantly depleted. Although the rate of consumption is very slow, you can roughly judge the time of hibernation by the remaining energy body. ”

"How long?"

"About 10,000 years."

Chu Tianjiang was silent, even if he didn't want to believe it, he had to believe it.

"What I know is less than six hundred years after you hibernated, and about 10,000 years have passed, so the information I have is long outdated. Although 10,000 years of change will not be too noticeable for natural ecosystems, drastic geological and climatic changes, radiation from the lunar rings, and the effects of intruders are enough to change the Earth's ecosystems dramatically. ”

"What kind of change?"

"Form a stable ecological environment and a social system sufficient to maintain stability. 10,000 years is enough time for all the resistance to die out naturally. ”

"This ......"

"For example, there are no genetic viruses in the atmosphere anymore."

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, looking at the figure in disbelief.

"Actually, you should have felt it a long time ago."

"For what?"

"If there is still a genetic virus in the atmosphere, then the kind of antibody developed by Melanie has given you some kind of superpower, but you are still an ordinary person."

"This ......"

"Also, Jack, Lucia, and everyone on this farm are actually ordinary people."

"Ordinary people?"

The figure nodded and said, "From my observation, there are basically no mutated genetic fragments on them, and they are almost indistinguishable from the humans before the disaster. They mention the Church, they mention holy warriors and saints, and they also mention angels, indicating that the invaders are still alive and that the foundation of their rule is extremely strong. From this, it can be preliminarily judged that the invaders have eliminated all resistance organizations and completely mastered and controlled human civilization, and there is no need to continue to use genetic viruses against human beings, so they have used scientific and technological means to kill the genetic viruses in the atmosphere. In addition, tamed humans are no longer a threat, and human society no longer has the basis to develop science and technology, so the invaders have changed the genes of ordinary people, eliminating the genetic fragments that may lead to mutations and thus the possibility of giving people superpowers. ”

"What should I do?"

"Stay here and get to know the farm first. Wait until the harsh winter is over and then go somewhere else. ”

"No other choice?"

"Yes, but it's dangerous. The presence of the Night Demon shows that the invaders have not let their guard down, and use this demon-like creature to suppress humans, so that humans have to fight for survival all the time, and at the same time give everyone a hope, that is, to go to the heavenly New World. It has to be said that this is a very clever method of rule, which makes everyone look insignificant, but we must believe that there must be some people who see through the face of the ruler and are waiting and looking for an opportunity to resist. What you have to do is to learn as much as you can about this world, and then find these people, rely on them to make many people realize, and then resist the invaders together. ”

At this time, Sophia moved, and the figure immediately disappeared.

Chu Tianjiang didn't summon the figure out again, nor did he fall asleep. Tens of thousands of years have passed, and for him, this is a completely unfamiliar world.
