Chapter 10: The Past and the Beginning
Yan Hua found himself in a long corridor, and above the corridor was a row of electric lights that stretched out to the middle of nowhere, which looked as if they were broken, so the whole corridor was pitch black. Although he couldn't see everything around him clearly, Yan Hua could clearly perceive everything around him.
The corridors, electric lights, potted plants, and countless rooms on both sides, Yan Hua knew the direction of everything.
After standing alone for a while, Yan Hua seemed to be inexplicably inexplicably inspired, and gently walked to a slightly dilapidated wooden door, thought about it, and twisted the handle on the door.
Inside the door was a small room with a simple but warm furnishings, a small bed and a small bedside table, and there seemed to be a blurred handwriting on the wall on the side of the bed.
The wooden door behind him slowly closed, but Yan Hua didn't care, but walked into the stain, carefully identified it, and found that it seemed to be two names.
"Yan Hua and Zhang Xue." Yan Hua subconsciously pronounced out these two names, and then felt a little puzzled, "Who is Zhang Xue?" ”
Yan Hua searched for the name Zhang Xue in his memory, but he always felt that there was a face in his mind as if it was separated by a thick fog, and the more he tried to get closer, the more he couldn't see it clearly.
Yan Hua felt as if he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember what he had forgotten, Yan Hua felt as if his head was hurting.
Just when Yan Hua couldn't help but want to stretch out his hands and hold his head tightly, a whispered conversation came from outside the door, which also attracted Yan Hua's attention.
“…… The experiment still failed. Yan Hua put his ear to the door and heard a woman's voice.
The woman's voice was very flat, and she couldn't hear a trace of ups and downs, as if it was synthesized by electronics, but it gave Yan Hua an inexplicably familiar feeling.
“……”
Yan Hua wanted to listen to it again, but there was a long silence outside the door, and just when Yan Hua thought that he could only hear this brainless conversation, another voice that seemed to be a man came into his ears.
"Actually, it's not a failure, isn't it a success?" The man's voice was a little muffled, but it also made Yan Hua feel a little familiar.
"It's this bad feeling again!" Yan Hua was a little angry, but the movement outside the door came again.
“…… And...... It's a whole, and a single one is not a ......."
"Take your time, there's still ...... time"
"We're going to get rid of ......, and we've recently found that as long as ...... And...... Stay in ......,...... There will be signs of instability. ”
“…… But you said that this is a whole, and if you hastily separate them, will it ......"
"Nothing but,...... Failed, save ......, there is a ...... Reference...... Continue ......"
Yan Hua squeezed his body towards the wooden door, wanting to hear more, but to no avail.
The sound outside the door was getting quieter and quieter.
Yan Hua suddenly stood up from behind the door and opened the door, only to find that there was no one outside the door.
Not only was there no figure, but the corridors, electric lights and other things from before had all disappeared, revealing an empty and endless darkness in front of Yan Hua's eyes.
Yan Hua looked at the void in front of him and became a little confused.
……
"Bell bell~" The ringtone of the old-fashioned clockwork alarm clock woke Yan Hua up from his sleep.
Yan Hua first opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling above his head for a long time, and then realized that he was no longer in the dormitory bunk in his memory.
Humans tend to forget their dreams very quickly, so Yan Hua didn't care about the few remnants of debris that quickly disappeared like ice and snow in his mind, but got up from the bed and walked towards the place of the bathroom.
So when Yan Hua finished brushing his teeth and washing his face in front of the mirror with its own soft light effect in the bathroom, all that was left in Yan Hua's mind was a small bed and a low bedside table.
"Huh! I didn't expect to dream of being in the orphanage room when I was a child, could this be the instructions given to me by the old dean? Yan Hua looked at his familiar face in the mirror and couldn't help but chuckle and think.
"Be at peace with what you encounter, work hard." Yan Hua whispered a sentence that the old dean often said to the children, and his eyes gradually became resolute, "Then let me work hard in Cambrian!" ”
Yan Hua walked out of the bathroom and saw two sets of clothes next to the bed, one was the one Yan Hua wore when he woke up from the life support cabin, and the other was brand new.
Yan Hua looked at the clothes in front of him and was stunned for half a second, and then reached out and picked up the clothes that Ling Feixue gave him last night.
The pure black background color, the soft and elastic fabric, and the rare thing is that it also takes into account the warmth and breathability, Yan Hua feels very satisfied after wearing it.
"Classmate Yan, are you up?" Just as Yan Hua lowered his head to study what material the clothes on his body were made of, Ling Feixue's voice rang out at the door.
"Hmm!" Yan Hua answered in a loud voice, and then got up and opened the door.
Ling Feixue was obviously stunned for a second when she saw Yan Hua in front of her, and then she looked away slightly and said, "It's almost time, it's time to go." ”
Yan Hua nodded and said that he knew, and he had nothing to bring, and the original life-support cabin had already been reclaimed by Ling Feixue, so he walked out without looking back and closed the door of the guest room behind him, and walked downstairs first.
Ling Feixue watched Yan Hua's actions, but did not follow Yan Hua at the first time, but quickly covered the two faint red glows on her face, looked at Yan Hua's back and muttered in a low voice: "I didn't expect this guy to be quite handsome." ”
Seeing that Yan Hua's back was about to disappear at the top of the stairs, Ling Feixue came back to her senses and followed with steps.
……
Yan Hua and Ling Feixue walked on the street one after the other, looking at the surrounding environment and the human beings walking in one color, even if it was not the first time, they still felt incredible, as if they had returned to before the steam age.
The technology of Cambrian is not developed, or it should be said that the technology in terms of energy and power is not developed, as for the reason, it is needless to say, just look up at the sky that is still cloudy even if it is called good weather in Ling Feixue's mouth.
Yan Hua had previously thought that the dimness in the Black Water Swamp at the beginning was only because of the jungle, and it wasn't until he and Ling Feixue left there that he knew what the lack of energy was like when Ling Feixue was talking about it at the beginning.
Without energy, humanity had to give up all its achievements after the Industrial Revolution, not only to save resources, but also to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide in this way, so as to prevent their actions from pushing humanity to the end again.
"Even if you don't want to do this, the earth's original resources such as coal and oil will have been burned up by geological movements, and have become dust that has been floating in the middle layer of the atmosphere for thousands of years." Ling Feixue's tone was a little helpless, and she patted the life-sustaining cabin behind her and said, "So human beings can only look for new energy sources." ”
Yan Hua just nodded when he heard this, but did not speak.
Yan Hua looked at a little girl on the side of the street who was walking and eating something, and asked Ling Feixue, "Human beings, or how many humans are there in the southern gathering place we are in now?" ”
"About two million." Ling Feixue replied without looking back, "As the largest gathering place of human beings today, there are more than two million people living here, and as for the other gathering places, the total number of people should be around this number. ”
"Less than five million?" Yan Hua felt a little heavy.
"Yes! This is still the result of human beings surviving the Dark Age and cultivating for more than 10,000 years" Ling Feixue felt that Yan Hua was a little strange, stopped and looked at Yan Hua's gaze, only then did she know what Yan Hua Yan Hua was thinking, and said, "The harsh environment, limited food, and ferocious beasts make every human being difficult and precarious. ”
Yan Hua asked, "That's why human beings need to evolve more?" ”
Ling Feixue nodded and said, "At present, it seems that this is the only way out. ”
It wasn't until the little girl's figure completely disappeared at the end of the long street that Yan Hua took his attention back, cleaned up his mood and led the topic to business: "Can the Cambrian Super Academy really help me become an Awakener?" ”
Ling Feixue seemed to be a little upset with Yan Hua's question, raised her eyebrows and said, "That's natural, but you have to pass the entrance test before you can officially become one of the students." ”
"I'm sure I'll make it." Yan Hua first said with a confident look, and then showed a flattering look to Ling Feixue, "After all, it is the student you brought out, Teacher Ling, it would be too embarrassing if you couldn't even pass an entrance test, and it's not just me, if it is brushed down at that time, Teacher, your face must not look good, so do you think it's okay?" ”
Ling Feixue looked at Yan Hua playing with treasure, but her tone was rejected: "The content of the entrance test is different every time, and I just came back, so this entrance test has not passed through my hands." So if you're trying to get information from me, forget it. ”
Although Yan Hua didn't really hope that Ling Feixue could leak the entrance test questions of the Cambrian Super Academy to himself, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and a little lucky after hearing Ling Feixue's words.
"Even if you don't know the specific content, there will always be something like an exam syllabus, right?" Yan Hua asked tentatively.
Ling Feixue looked at Yan Hua and wanted to laugh a little, but she still said with a straight face: "The superpower exists to deal with the supernatural beasts, so the situations and enemies to face are also very different. In addition, the Ability Beast is also constantly evolving, and every once in a while a new Ability Beast will jump out, the academy will naturally consider it in combination with reality when selecting students who are expected to become superpowers, how can there be something like an outline in advance? ”
Seeing that he really couldn't get more useful information from Ling Feixue, Yan Hua had no choice but to give up, and finally asked with some unease, "Then the entrance exam won't be a battle with a strange beast or something, right?" ”
This is also what Yan Hua is most worried about, it may be that the previous Black Marsh Dragon and Wind Splitting Beast have left a psychological shadow on Yan Hua, after hearing Ling Feixue say that the superpower is to deal with the abnormal beast, he can't help but feel a little uneasy about the entrance test in front of him.
Yan Hua still has points for his strength, although after Ling Feixue's training before, his physical fitness has been greatly improved, whether it is running speed or strength, it is far beyond those world champions in his memory, but there is nothing else.
"Don't worry, this won't happen." Unlike the worried look on Yan Hua's face that was about to condense into substance, Ling Feixue said with a relaxed expression, "Everyone in the Cambrian is an incomparably valuable asset, and not all superpowers have talent in combat, so the academy will not make such jokes. ”
Ling Feixue's comfort played a role, Yan Hua felt that he had relaxed a lot, and wanted to say something, but he was shocked by the scene in front of him and forgot to speak.
A huge city wall tens of meters high lay in front of Yan Hua, like a long dragon lying on the ground dividing the entire southern gathering place into two parts, north and south, a river slowly flowed from this dragon, and after encircling the city wall for half a circle, it suddenly turned a big bend towards the hill on the side of the city wall, and disappeared.
Yan Hua looked away from the huge Chinese characters of "Cambrian Super Energy Academy" above the city gate, and saw two familiar lines of handwriting.
"Superpowers may be the last mercy that the gods give to humans, but humans are their true gods." Yan Hua read out these words softly, his hands slowly clenched, and the uneasiness in his heart was completely burned to ashes.
Someone in the distance was shouting Yan Hua's name, interrupting Yan Hua's thoughts, it turned out that Ling Feixue found that Yan Hua was still standing in place after entering the city gate, standing in the tall city gate and waving to Yan Hua to follow.
"It's a new beginning! Since human beings are their own gods, then from now on, ......" Yan Hua finally glanced at the city wall in front of him, and walked towards the city gate with his feet raised, his steps unprecedentedly firm.
"I, Yan Hua, am my own god!"
