"What does the latest observation report from the Weather Bureau and the Earth Elephant Institute say?" A black-haired, black-eyed middle-aged human Zhuxia Clan man wearing the uniform of a general of the United Stars Government asked a young staff member of the Feather Clan who was looking at the virtual screen on his wrist terminal.

"General, the situation is a bit difficult." The staff did not raise their heads to look at the middle-aged man, frowning and staring at the virtual screen on the terminal, "The latest observation report shows that this Xiaoice period has exceeded expectations in terms of minimum temperature, duration or accompanying extreme weather." The Xiaoice period was expected to end in a maximum of 20 years, but the latest forecast is 25 years, and the minimum sustained temperature is also 500 degrees lower than originally projected, reaching a staggering minus 1,500 degrees. And a month earlier than expected. ”

"Is it true that there is no worst, only worse?" The middle-aged man frowned and looked at the long-eared man on the other side: "How is the evacuation situation?" ”

"It's the last batch, and the entire population will be able to enter the underground shelter in 10 days at the latest." The long-eared man replied after looking at the progress on the virtual screen of the terminal.

"Is there enough hibernation pods? And the defenses and material reserves of the Vault? ”

"The hibernation pod is very abundant, and it was originally produced according to the statistical number plus 10%. The same is true of the material reserves, which are sufficient to provide everyone with 10 years after the end of the asylum period. All Vault defenses have been pre-activated, and can be activated as soon as everyone arrives at the Vault. All construct figures are also on standby to ensure that the Vault will be operational for 100 years. The long-eared man replied without the slightest hesitation.

"Hmm." The middle-aged man nodded, and then asked, "Have the Yu people and the Huangsheng of all clans finished taking refuge?" ”

The long-eared man manipulated the screen and replied, "The Yu people have all taken refuge in the independent shelter. Some of the students who were registered were on the list of the last group of personnel. After 10 days, all evacuations are guaranteed. Those who have awakened have taken refuge in the first batch as early as possible, and those who have not awakened in the back have not. ”

"Okay, so be it." The middle-aged man stepped aside after expressing satisfaction with the progress. An old man with a white beard was sleeping in a work chair on the side.

"Doctor." The middle-aged man politely woke up the old man.

The old man opened his somewhat hazy eyes and lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose that had been pulled down: "Oh. Ge Ah. What's up? ”

"Doctor, is the Ruin's new racial integration plan really going to begin?" The middle-aged man asked with some hesitation.

"Hmm. Just after the last batch of personnel was in place, the dormancy plan was officially implemented. ”

"Just because of the prophecy that doesn't know when it will come, and doesn't know whether it's true or false?"

"The prophecy is true. When the realm line is destroyed, it will leave traces in the undestroyed realm world. We've found more than a dozen similar traces. The truth of the prophecy was established. The old man looked at the middle-aged man calmly and said.

"But isn't it too early to choose? At this time when the civilizations on the surface of the planet are being destroyed. The middle-aged man still couldn't understand it.

"There's never been a better time to do it. Only by sharing suffering can the new race better integrate into our big family. And we have to leave something for future generations, don't we? The old man said with a smile.

The time is pushed to the present, May 26, 2488 in the Zhuxia calendar, cloudy.

Inside a gas-refining powered silent train bound for the underground shelter in Linhang District, Zhuxia.

"Dreams?"

Ning Yuan opened his eyes in the shaking, his eyes slightly confused.

"Brother, are you awake?" An unfamiliar voice sounded beside him, and Ning Yuan turned his head to look at the seat next to him.

A young man in his twenties, wearing a coffee-colored stand-up collar trench coat and black leather pants. The ears were very long, almost ten centimeters, and Ning Yuan saw 4 pinna.

"Long-eared?" Ning Yuan muttered to himself softly, and his consciousness began to sober.

The young man's ears moved, and he stretched out his hand and smiled at Ning Yuan: "Yes, long-eared clan." My name is Mourning, what about you? ”

"Ning Yuan, human, Zhuxia clan." Ning Yuan stretched out his hand to hold it, and replied with a smile as well. Then he turned his head and looked around, "What stop is this?" ”

"One last stop." Mo Ning was a little unsure, "I got on the car at the third station, and there were a few more people coming up from behind, and I seemed to have heard the people from the escort just now say that there were all the people." The shelter should be in front of it. He gestured to the gun-wielding guards standing at the back of the carriage.

"We seem to be the last of them, right?" Ning Yuan looked back at the guards in the blue stand-up collar combat uniform, and then looked at Mo Ning and asked.

"Yes, we're the last civilians." Before Mo Ning could speak, a female voice sounded on the other side.

Ning Yuan turned his head to look at the seat on the other side of the hallway.

Small cat ears, long straight black hair, delicate face, beautiful vertical pupils like sapphire. The close-fitting yellow-green leather skirt wraps the same small body, and only the black cat tail with white tips gently swings beside the owner, revealing a youthful and energetic atmosphere like the owner.

"Hello." The girl smiled toothily at Ning Yuan and Mo Ning, and the small tiger teeth showed the corners of her mouth, "I'm Su Yu, as you can see, the kitten clan." ”

"Hello, Ning Yuan, human." Ning Yuan replied politely.

"You... Hello, Mo... Alonzo. Long-eared people. Nice to meet you. Next to him, Mo Ning hurriedly got up, his cheeks were red, and he stammered, as if he was nervous all of a sudden.

"What's wrong?" Ning Yuan asked suspiciously.

"No... It's nothing. Mo Ning waved his hand and sat down, although his face was still very red, but his nervousness seemed to decrease slightly. However, Ning Yuan noticed that the other party didn't seem to dare to look at the girl, and every time his eyes drifted over, he immediately turned back nervously, and Ning Yuan thought about it a few times.

"That's right, Miss Su Yu." Ning Yuan looked at the kitten-man girl.

"Just call me Su Yu. I'm only 3 months away from 20." The girl replied with a smile. (Kitten 20-year-old adult)

"Okay, Su Yu." Ning Yuan paused and asked, "You just said that we were the last civilians, right?" ”

"Yes." The girl nodded.

"So when we get to the Vault, the 'Hibernation Project' will officially begin?"

"Hmm." Su Yu nodded, "I checked it on the terminal, and I also consulted with the escort captain when I got in the car." According to the other side, as soon as we enter the Vault, the Vault's defenses will be officially activated. And after a little freshening, we can enter the hibernation chamber according to the sequence. They will enter the hibernation chamber after determining that all personnel are safe to hibern. The day-to-day maintenance of the Vault and the care of all dormant pods are left to the Smart Construct Figures inside the Vault. I checked the latest joint network, according to the latest observations just released by the Institute of Geological Phenomena and the Weather Bureau. The Seventh Ice Age of the Stars came earlier than expected. By next week at the latest, the global temperature will plummet, accompanied by extreme rain and snow, until the stars are frozen in the world. ”

"I also watched," Mo Ning replied with a red face, "that this glacial period belongs to the Xiaoice period, which lasts about 25 years." The 50-year hibernation plan was based on fears of subsequent disasters. After all, when the glacier melts, it will take time for the later floods or something. ”

"Yes." Su Yu nodded, then looked at Ning Yuan, "Don't you look at the terminal?" ”

"Oh, I'm Huangsheng, I can't use that thing at the terminal." Ning Yuan replied a little helplessly.

"Huangsheng?!" Su Yu looked at Ning Yuan in surprise. Mo Ning's eyes widened curiously, and his face, which was still slightly red, returned to normal because of Ning Yuan's answer.

"Yes." Ning Yuan nodded, and then smiled indifferently, "There are quite a few Huangsheng on the stars, so there is nothing to be surprised about." However, it is a bit inconvenient that Huangsheng can't bind the terminal. ”

"Yes. But you're the first brilliant student I've ever met. Su Yu smiled.

Mo Ning nodded, "It's the first time I've seen it, too." However, it is indeed inconvenient for Huangsheng to bind the terminal because of the disorder of soul wavelength. Do you usually use your home terminal to surf the Internet? ”

"That's right." Ning Yuan nodded, affirmed Mo Ning's question, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, there is a game warehouse that can go directly to the Void Realm." I heard that a new game virtual zone is going to open recently? ”

Mo Ning blinked his eyes, as if he was very interested in Ning Yuan's topic, and casually opened the terminal on his wrist and operated: "I found it, I just saw it yesterday." The name of the game is "Regeneration", and according to the relevant media, it is speculated that it should be a world dominated by war and adventure. ”

"Oh? And the legendary Creed is a genre? Ning Yuan asked with interest.

"It's not. "Creed" is a pure war game, and "Regeneration", although it is also war-oriented, is more about the integration of players and aborigines. The answer was Su Yu, the kitten man on the side, but he only lightly passed over the main body of "Regeneration", and turned the topic in another direction, "But "Regeneration" does have similarities with "Creed". Everyone knows that the successful formation of the Coalition Government of the Stars and the rapid determination of the priorities of all parties are due to the fact that there was a 300-year-long dynastic war in the world of Creed, which evolved and opened up to the Lord of the Ruins, right? Su Yu asked quietly looking at Ning Yuan and Mo Ning's faces.

"Hmm." "Yes." Ning Yuan and Mo Ning both nodded to indicate that they knew.

"If Creed is the only game world with an arbitration nature that has evolved by the Ruins himself among the many Void Game Worlds in the Void World, then Regeneration is the second experimental game world evolved by the Ruins himself." Su Yu said the news that made Mo Ning stunned as usual. In fact, not only Mo Ning, even Ning Yuan was a little surprised, and a thoughtful light turned in his eyes.

"What you said is true?! Is it really a game world that evolved by the Lord of the Ruins? How did I not know? You know, I've been paying attention to the Ruin! Mo Ning stood up excitedly, his eyes fixed on Su Yu and asked. The embarrassed and shy look when facing Su Yu just now seemed to not exist, and the other people in the carriage who were so loud that the voice was so loud that they paid attention to it. Even the guards at the back of the carriage were a little alarmed.

"Don't get excited. Sit down and say. Ning Yuan noticed that the escort team seemed to be coming to check, and hurriedly pulled the wide sleeves of the special costume of the long-eared clan on Mo Ning's body, and at the same time got up to signal to the escort team and the other people in the carriage who showed curious expressions that it was okay, turned his head to look at Mo Ning and said softly: "Didn't you see everyone looking at you?" ”

Mo Ning was stunned for a moment, looked around blankly, his face turned white and turned red in the next moment, he looked at the ground of the carriage with an embarrassed expression, and stammered: "Hug... I'm sorry. I... I'm a little ... A little excited... I'm not... Not intentionally. ”

Ning Yuan patted him on the shoulder amusefully, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be a fan of the ruins." It's okay, sit down. Su Yu won't mind. As he spoke, he gestured to Su Yu with his eyes.

Su Yu smiled and nodded, "Sit down." Nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm also a big fan of the Ruins. ”

After Mo Ning sat down and calmed down a little, Ning Yuan asked Su Yu, "Can you tell me where this news came from?" ”

Mo Ning's ears moved, his expression was not embarrassed, and he raised his head and looked at Su Yu as curiously as Ning Yuan.

"The news you just posted on the Void Column of the United Stars Government when you woke up." Su Yu didn't mean to lose her appetite, and said directly, "And it also publishes a little background information about "Regeneration" and the purpose of the ruin master to evolve this world himself. ”

"You said Regeneration is an experimental game world, right?" Ning Yuan hugged his chest with his left hand, tapped his forehead with his right index finger and said, "If I guessed correctly, is it related to the new race?" ”

Su Yu glanced at Ning Yuan with some surprise, nodded and said, "Yes." According to the information, it is indeed related to the legendary plan for a new race. However, the exact connection can only be known when you enter the game world. ”

("Really?") It seems that the realm of 'me' in this dream is highly overlapping with mine. It seems that it can't be regarded as a pure 'dream' for the time being, and it will naturally be forgotten. Save a file. But before that... Ning Yuan said to Su Yu while thinking, "Can you tell me about the background of the world of "Regeneration" released on the information?" ”

"Found it." Mo Ning, who had been silent since just now, suddenly let out a low voice, pointed to the screen on the terminal and said excitedly: "Sure enough, it's true." The virtual game world that the Lord of the Ruins personally evolved for the second time - "Regeneration". ”

"Let Morning speak." Su Yu called Mo Ning, "Read the background of "Regeneration". ”

"Oh good." Mo Ning had been operating the terminal just now and didn't hear Ning Yuan's words, he was stunned for a moment, and read: "The World Continent of Regeneration is called the Nino Continent, which is in the era of the city-states, and the large forces in it are called the City-State Alliance. There are 18 intelligent races living on the continent of Nienor. That's it? There is little information. Mo Ning looked at the few paragraphs on the screen and complained, "At least give me some career information inside." ”

("The Neno Continent, the city-state era, the 18 races, look right.") Listening to the background of Mo Ningnian's "Regeneration", a hint of understanding flashed in Ning Yuan's eyes.

The little cat girl who had been secretly observing Ning Yuan's expression also flashed a thoughtful light in her eyes after seeing Ning Yuan's expression.

At this moment, the system prompt on the train sounded:

"The terminal Linhang shelter has arrived! The terminal Linhang shelter has arrived! ”

。。。。。。。。

After getting out of the car, Ning Yuan exchanged contact information with Mo Ning and Su Yu, Mo Su and Su Yu were the terminal serial numbers, and Ning Yuan gave his own imaginary sequence, and after making an appointment with each other to say goodbye, they were led by the escort team to separate.

In the room arranged by the shelter, Ning Yuan dialed his father's terminal communication number through the fixed terminal in the room after a little freshening.

After waiting for a while, an image of a man appeared on the screen. The man's face is very ordinary, belonging to the type that cannot be found in the pile of embarrassment, but the man's eyes are very special, not the eyes, but the eyes themselves. The man has a pair of silver eyes that do not belong to the Zhuxia human race, or to all the intelligent races of the stars. He is Ning Yuan's father, Ning Zhijun.

"Dad." Ning Yuan smiled and said hello, but the smile was a bit fake. Every time Ning Yuan saw his father's silver eyes, he would unconsciously have a chilling feeling, since he was a child. However, the father-son relationship between the two is not bad.

"Hmm." The man's face nodded calmly, but Ning Yuan, who was meticulously observant, still saw a flash of relief on his father's face.

"Arrived?" The man asked in a calm tone.

"It's here. Linhang Refuge, Room No. 14286. ”

"Hmm." The man was silent for a moment, "Your mother's side, I'll get in touch." After entering the Void, there will be time for us to meet. ”

"Okay." Ning Yuan nodded, and then said as if he had just remembered, "By the way, I may go to "Regeneration" to take a look." ”

The man frowned: "The testing ground of the ruin master? Do you see something? ”

"You do." Ning Yuan showed such a look and said, "I had a dream in the car." I left some memories, and I guess it will give me a good foundation. ”

"Okay." The man nodded, "This plan has a lot to do with it, and it's basically a type of national participation. If you want to go in, go in. But a little bit of a reminder to you, this game is different from the games you used to play, don't play with the mentality of playing games before, and be careful not to reincarnate too many times. ”

"No other inside information?"

"Nope. Hung up. ”

Looking at the darkened screen, Ning Yuan pouted a little unwillingly.

("I really won't reveal anything.") ”）

"Forget it, just go in and see for yourself. I only have one memory, but I don't know anything. ”

Ning Yuan chuckled and patted the dormant pod in the room.
