Chapter 474: One Man's Four Seasons

It's a rather unique feeling, the whole vision is quickly filled, and in a way, it feels like you're going backwards.

If Cheng Lin's location was still on the outskirts of the city at the beginning, it would slowly become an urban area after a while, and the high-rise buildings were changing, only his perspective remained the same.

When night fell, what at first was just a few lights, but later it became a sea of lights, and endless high-rise buildings adorned his vision.

[You stand in front of the window and see that the outside world is changing rapidly, and a hundred years are fleeting]

[Your campus has been expanded several times and gradually incorporated into the section of the super city agglomeration]

"Mega city agglomeration?"

Cheng Lin is not unfamiliar with this term.

I've heard of it before.

The general meaning is that as urbanization deepens, multiple geographically close cities will form a whole.

This will also lead to the expansion of the area of each city, forming a region with tens of millions of permanent residents and trillions of GDP in the urban area.

It seems that in the future his region has also undergone such changes.

[At the same time, in the world, human society has always been developing at a high speed]

[You decide to move the window to get a bigger view]

With the information in his mind, Cheng Lin stretched out his right hand, two fingers to be precise, and placed it on the glass and gently pulled it outward...... He had learned this movement a long time ago.

The view outside the glass suddenly began to shrink like a digital photograph.

Soon, all that remained outside the window was a slowly rotating dark blue planet.

Pulled through......

Pulling a little closer, he saw countless buildings, vehicles, and people surging in the day and night where the surface was constantly flickering.

Everything is still changing rapidly, and I don't know how long it will take for Cheng Lin to see that flying machines full of science fiction have begun to appear in the city.

The building has also gotten rid of its monotonous squareness and become more magnificent, colorful, and even enchanting.

Mirrored glass covers the surface of the building.

Bridges fly through the air, connecting different buildings.

A ...... Another one, like a nest in the process of being built.

And then there were even more magical, shocking buildings.

Cheng Lin tried to zoom out and inspect the details, but failed because the speed of time was too fast and the switching of light and shadow was too frequent.

[You try to observe the details, but it is difficult to capture]

The voice of the narrator sounds.

Immediately, Cheng Lin found that the scene outside the window was changing faster and faster, faster and faster, until it finally exceeded the limit of his optic nerve, and his brain automatically turned on the protection mode.

As a result, the world outside the window became blurred, and he only vaguely saw the starry sky and the brilliant star rings.

Then, a sudden burst of intense glare outside the window, barely worse than the white light at the beginning of the deduction.

"Ahh

Cheng Lin subconsciously let out a low breath and turned his head to avoid.

Squinting his eyes, he saw the shadow of himself on the floor in the intense light from the gap in his eyelids.

The whole process lasted about 3 seconds, and then the light cleared and everything returned to peace.

"What happened?"

Cheng Lin opened his mouth to ask, and at the same time turned his head tentatively, and then he was stunned.

I saw that the world outside the window had become clear again, and even the acceleration of time had stopped, and what was unfolding in front of him was no longer a gorgeous and magical future city, but a devastated city.

[More than 1,000 years have passed, in this process, human society has undergone several changes, the social form has undergone a transformation, and the combination of science and psionic energy has become an extremely huge driving force, advancing the process of human civilization rapidly]

[However, the rapid development has finally begun to overwhelm this ancient planet, and the intake of energy, the increase in pollution, and the changes in the environment have made human beings who have the ticket to set foot in the galaxy begin to seek a new home]

[Finally, when everything is ready, the ring-shaped super space ship officially departs, carrying all the human beings and all kinds of species on the earth to a new home thousands of light-years away]

[The activation of the super ship tore apart the atmosphere, causing a violent climate change on the entire planet, with high temperatures, radiation, and dust filling all parts of the planet, causing a new round of mass extinction of the remaining creatures to begin]

In my head, the voice of the narrator sounded.

Immediately, Cheng Lin saw the wind blowing on the dark ground outside the window, and the wind was blowing from the sky.

The ring-shaped supership has broken through a hole in the atmosphere that is tens of millions of square kilometers.

Through the telescopic glass, Cheng Lin was able to observe the whole picture of this hole.

It is almost circular and covers an entire area of the earth, with rounded edges rolled up with almost white clouds, which look beautiful.

Blazing sunlight invaded the surface through this super-large hole, along with radiant energy.

Then, Cheng Lin saw a violent wind blowing on the surface.

He knew that without the protection of the atmosphere, the surface would directly withstand the terrifying heat of the sun, which would cause a drastic "difference" in hot and cold temperatures, followed by winds that would spread across the globe.

As expected, the wind blew up the devastated surface dust.

Cheng Lin zoomed in his perspective and could see that the sky and the earth were filled with turbid wind, which was the smoke and dust that had been rolled up, covering the sky and the sun.

Time outside the window briefly sped forward into night.

The holes in the atmosphere were pulled into an ellipse by autobiographies and the gravitational pull of the planet, and some of the holes were finally freed from direct sunlight.

At this time, you can see a beautiful starry sky when you look up from the surface.

"It's the clearest starry sky I've ever seen in my life."

Cheng Lin stood in front of the window and said.

Time didn't stay long in the night, and the frequent day-night cycle began again, and the sandstorm that raged around the world also hit his window with a "bang", which was the sand particles in the wind crashing, like the sound of a torrential rain.

[You stand quietly in front of the window, gazing at this scene, and finally ...... The atmosphere slowly repaired itself, the hurricanes on the surface stopped, and the disaster made the already barren land even more inhospitable.

[Five years have passed, and it is an early morning, and you decide to go out for a walk]

The picture outside the window stopped.

In the voice of narration, Cheng Lin turned around, thought about it, put on the coat thrown on the sofa, then put his hand on the doorknob, hesitated for three seconds, and gently wrenched.

……

……

"Click."

The door opened a crack, and sunlight poured in through the crack, shining a golden yellow in the center of Cheng Lin's face.

Stepping out of the door, Cheng Lin closed the door with his backhand, and then saw that the room behind him had become full of classical and exotic shapes, he easily opened the doorknob, and in an instant, the house faded into a translucent state.

Turning back, he looked ahead, a barren land, covered with rubble and the debris of buildings that had lost sight of their original appearance, and clumps of tough weeds growing in the cracks of the stones, gently swaying in the morning breeze.

In the distance, there are mountains.

He didn't see any traces of the future mega city, probably dismantling it before the super vehicle took off, after all, if you want to sail over long distances, all available resources can't be spared.

[You stand in this lonely world, you see the high slope in front of you, and decide to approach it]

With the information in his mind, Cheng Lin tightened his neckline, stepped on the gray gravel on the ground, and walked forward.

There was silence in my ears, and I couldn't hear any noise, only the sound of the wind blowing through the grass and trees.

The temperature is slightly cool, and it feels like it should be autumn, the cold invades the skin through the clothes, and then is blocked by the aura membrane, but in the breath, you can still feel the bleakness in the air.

"Whew."

Exhaling a breath, Cheng Lin walked forward slowly, and suddenly remembered the day when he first opened the deduction.

It is also to come to the empty world alone.

Inexplicably familiar.

Thinking about this, he finally climbed the high slope in front of him, came to the peak, and immediately froze.

Behind the hillside, there was an endless plain.

The plain had no hope at all, it was terrible flat, there were no ups and downs, there was only a plane, and there was no living thing, like a land and sea, it was not beautiful, it could even be said to be ugly, but because of its enormity, it had an indescribable magnificence.

[You see the endless 'plain', which is the base of the aircraft, and you feel indescribable surprise]

In the extreme distance of this super-large plane, a round of the sun is slowly rising, illuminating the heavens and the earth, as well as Cheng Lin.

At this moment, the boundless plain seemed to be glowing, and as the last human on the surface, Cheng Lin was also bathed in the glow, looking directly at the sun, and his heart was undulating.

This scene seemed to freeze, and in an instant, the light and shadow changed, and Cheng Lin clearly saw that the scene in front of him had some subtle changes, from the earthy yellow covered by the storm and dust, to gradually turning white.

That's snow.

[You look up and see winter]

Pure white snowflakes fell from the sky, rolling in the breeze, like tiny elves, gradually spreading the whole world with a white blanket.

The light and shadow changed, the gray above his head turned into a deep black, and this snow seemed to have fallen for many days, and Cheng Lin had never seen such a long snow in his life.

I don't know how long it took for the snow to melt and then there was a little greenery on the plains as far as the eye could see.

The barren planet is beginning to revive under the nourishment of melting snow.

[For the vast majority of races in the universe, spring is always pleasant, but spring is also short-lived, and after a delightful rain, summer comes]

Cheng Lin stood at the top of the slope and personally felt the layer of snow covering his body melt into water.

His clothes were wet and quickly steamed in the warm sun.

Immediately, a group of clouds flew in the sky.

That's a cumulonimbus cloud.

Thin strands of rain fell, moistening his brows and eyes, and moistening the earth.

However, this moist sensation did not last long, and it was banned by the scorching sun.

The sun in the sky began to heat up, and the plants on the barren land spread again.

Without human intervention, they were cautious at first, and then spread out unscrupulously.

The light and shadow changed, and I don't know when, the high temperature dropped, and the ubiquitous plants in Naxi turned pale yellow, and the fallen leaves that blew from nowhere kicked off the prelude to autumn.

[Autumn arrives on an ordinary morning, and a year has passed]

Standing at the top of the slope, Cheng Lin raised his right hand and grabbed a withered yellow flower that was rolled in the wind, he stared at it, and suddenly sighed softly: "A person's world is too lonely after all." ”

A moment later, a piece of information came to my head, and this turned out to be an introduction:

[Life has never left solitude and exists independently. Whether it's being born, growing up, or falling in love. Success, failure, and finality, loneliness exists like a shadow in a corner of life. - "One Hundred Years of Solitude"]

Cheng Lin was silent and fell silent.

The light and shadow around him change, and the earth flickers in an instant, and the seasons change countless times.

……

[100 years have passed]
