A Song of Steel and the Earth Chapter 331 The Tragedy of the Qianzi District
After the two of them came out of the elevator together, a burst of light wrapped the two, and some dazzling light made the two have to close their eyes, and before the color in their eyes was lost, Liu Zhixun saw that the source of the light seemed to be the shadow of Luo Shiqi.
In this light, the two of them continued to grope forward, but fortunately, the highest part of the tower did not assume any practical functions, and Liu Zhixun and Zhang Xinya would not be attacked by sudden things, just like that, in a piece of light, the two continued to grope towards the unknown territory.
I don't know how long it has passed, it seems that time has been meaningless, the two of them finally touched the hardened entity, and the light around them didn't seem to be so dazzling, the two squinted and opened their eyes, but found that they had finally come to the highest point of this tower, everything in the city seemed to be unobstructed, and the starlight in the distance sprinkled on the sea was also quite beautiful.
When the hands of the two people came into contact with the real thing, the dazzling light disappeared, but in their seriousness, the whole city seemed to move, and the black ghosts that were faintly visible seemed to have disappeared, and in their place, hundreds of years ago, before the human race was divided.
It was a prosperous scene, everyone seemed to have a happy smile on their faces, and now the streets were deserted and terrifying and full of decay, the scene they saw on the top of this tower was so beautiful, clean and full of positive attitude, Zhang Xinya was fascinated by it, because she knew that this was the grand scene of the first settlement, which was the settlement that represented the civilization and progress of mankind before the human race was divided, and the first settlement at that time was the core city of human beings. It is now part of the castle in the sky, and it is also the most prosperous part.
But for some reason, everything changed in an instant, and this change, which no one knows, was also seen by Zhang Xinya and Liu Zhixun at this time.
The people on the street, the crystal grew wildly on the backbone, so that those who were originally standing, had to bend down, and then, an even more tragic thing (qíng) happened, under the light of the tower, the human form changed dramatically, the people on the street, the people in the house, no matter when, where, what (shēn), all the people who lived in this first settlement were wrapped in elemental crystals, turned into the appearance of beasts.
After that, some of the human bodies turned into different colors, separating the boundaries between life and death, and they were tireless, unsad hunters of their people, and used their corpses as nourishment, and fiercely inserted their sharp claws into the bodies of their dead companions, frantically absorbing their nutrients, without pity, without qíng, and without the slightest sense of murder.
Everything in the city seems to have become very chaotic, the boundaries between man and beast have been diminished, and the boundaries between life and death are no longer clear.
Seeing this, Zhang Xinya couldn't help but close her eyes, she couldn't imagine that this was what happened in the first settlement (qíng), when and why? Zhang Xinya didn't want to think about this kind of thing (qíng) anymore, because these killings had made her unacceptable.
But the rì scenery didn't leave his mind as she closed her eyes, and the carnage continued and continued until the ground of the First Settlement slowly shook, and the First Settlement flew into the air following Sky City.
A blue beam of light from the ground knocked the first settlement down from the sky city, and as the sky city continued to rotate, the first settlement fell to the ground, and smashed down at the junction of the mountains and the sea, and the huge weight and speed leveled the entire mountain, but this settlement, for some reason, did not suffer any damage.
The view from the top of the tower to the tower and a room away from the hellish scroll came to an abrupt end, and it was at this moment that the dazzling light surrounding Liu Zhixun and Zhang Xinya (shēn) disappeared, and they could finally see the full view of the highest point.
Here, it's just a very ordinary room, ordinary (chuáng) and vanity mirrors, and the corpse of a woman (xìng) lying on (chuáng) with something tightly held in her hands, everything you see and feel in your eyes is simulated by that light.
Zhang Xinya was a little scared, so Liu Zhixun stepped forward, gently picked up the U disk-shaped object in his hand, and looked carefully, on this U disk, there was a familiar key slot, Zhang Xinya came up curiously to look at it, put the key into the key slot, and sure enough, something (qíng) was about to happen.
"Hello compatriots from the future, it is the year 231 of the Human Era, and the Nuwa Project has been implemented for more than ten years, but today, an accident happened, and a part of the people who were supposed to exist as test subjects rioted for some reason, and in a state where we were not in control (qíng), all the chaos happened, and the people in the outer city also saw this opportunity and launched a war against us, and in desperation, we had to raise the inner city to defend against the invasion of the outer city."
"Oh, by the way, you may no longer know what the Nuwa plan is, right, this plan is absolutely secret in my time now, and the children of the future generations, whether they are from the inner city or from the outer city, will probably have long forgotten the existence of this plan, okay, I'll explain it to you."
"The reason why we human beings can survive on this planet is because of the elemental crystal that fell from the sky five hundred years ago, and it was also that crystal that accelerated the evolution process of our ancestors who were still beasts at that time, and the knowledge and power obtained from that crystal allowed our ancestors to complete the evolution in just one generation, and also learned how to use that elemental crystal."
"In this way, our ancestors took the crystal as the center, established a prosperous civilization, this is the origin of the inner city, and later because the population of the inner city has been a little excessive, some people have been moved to the outside of the city, and this is the origin of the outer city people, the original inner city people and the outer city people can get along very harmoniously, after all, it is the same source, but with the inner city center of the element crystal released by the elemental power gradually decreased, so that whether we are the inner city people or the outer city people, there is a strong sense of crisis, it is at this time, The Nuwa Project emerged. ”
"The so-called Nuwa plan is a plan to turn us humans into beasts again, by turning into beasts again, replacing humans (xìng) with absolute beasts (xìng), we can return to us who belong to the golden age, infinite power can be used by us, and we who have developed enough knowledge (xìng) can also suppress our awakened beasts (xìng) very well."
But is that really the case? It's a pity that our plan failed, the Nuwa plan was completely sentenced to death, and we mistakenly lowered the horror of beast (xìng), and almost everyone in the Qianzi area became slaves of beast (xìng), just like now. ”
The female (xìng) shifted her perspective slightly behind (shēn), and Liu Zhixun and Zhang Xinya saw that under this tower, the beasts of the same clan were constantly being killed, as well as most of the people who were already desperate.
"But fortunately, the Nuwa project did not completely fail, although I don't know when my residence will be found by them, and I don't know how long my current resources can last, but at least I sent the data of these Nuwa project experiments back to the inner city."
Speaking of this, the woman (xìng) smiled self-deprecatingly, then straightened the camera position and said to the two:
"By the way, I forgot to talk about this (qíng), the current Qianzi District has been separated from the other blocks of the inner city, and it is a good thing done by those people from the outer city, but they don't have any malicious intentions, the reason why they will start a war against us in the inner city is because of the materials used by Nuwa's plan, most of them are from the outer city."
"But in the future, no one will be sacrificed because of Nuwa's plan, after all, the experimental data has been transmitted back to the First Origin Zone, and they should be able to realize how much hidden danger this practice will bring."
"Human beings can only be human beings after all, and once they touch the realm of the gods, they may only bring endless disasters."
After saying this, the image came to an abrupt halt from their minds. (chuáng) on the lying person, just like that, turned into the elements, and eventually disappeared.
When Liu Zhixun looked at the written materials, he finally understood who the elemental beast downstairs was, it was the sister of the person lying on the bunk (chuáng), even if he finally turned into an elemental beast, he had been practicing the protection of his sister until the moment when he had died.
"I see." After listening to these words, Zhang Xinya suddenly realized, nodded thoughtfully, and after thinking for a while, Zhang Xinya said to Liu Zhixun:
"Sister Qihe, do you know? We only began to have civilization five hundred years ago, and before that, we were nothing more than other animals, even weaker than them. ”
"But since that elemental crystal fell from the sky, our ancestors have been endowed with intelligence and the ability to harness the power of the elements, I originally thought that everything in the book was a lie, but now I understand that it is all true."
"Something in the book? What the? ”
"Oh, Sister Qihe, you have amnesia, probably forgot, that thing, it's our fate."
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xinya began to tell Liu Zhixun about the legend she had seen in the book:
"We become human because of the elements, and because the elements cease to be human beings, and when the beginning of everything becomes the end of everything, everything we have will be reduced to ashes and cease to exist."
"I heard that this sentence was said by the first person who touched that extraterrestrial elemental crystal, and no one has been able to understand what it means for so many years, but now I seem to understand the meaning of the first half of this sentence."
"But what does the second half of the sentence mean?" Liu Zhixun (jìn) thought about it, she probably sorted out this matter (qíng), and summed it up is that when Luo Shiqi's (shēn) body came to this land, it brought intelligence and power to the creatures on this land, but it was precisely because of this intelligence and power that they wanted to get more, so there was the Nuwa Project, but the Nuwa Project became a requiem for them to return to their origins.
The beginning of everything and the end of everything in the second half of the sentence, in Liu Zhixun's view, may be her and Su Shi, because the beginning of everything here is Luo Shiqi, and the end of everything is naturally Liu Zhixun and Su Shi to rescue Luo Shiqi together and take away the elemental crystal on which this world depends.
Isn't that murder? Liu Zhixun couldn't help but think like this, although she is an existence that feeds on death, it doesn't mean that she likes death, on the contrary, she is kind-hearted, and she even can't see death happen in front of her, although death will always happen in front of her.
"Whatever, Sister Qihe, in short, these are all things in the past (qíng), no matter how sad it is, it's useless, let's think about how to get out of here."
"Also, sadness doesn't help, let's hurry up and bring the elements back to the settlement." Although he said so, Liu Zhixun already had a faint feeling that all the creatures here were probably going to die because of the arrival of her and Su Shi, and Zhang Xinya also saw Liu Zhixun's sad face (qíng), so she chose to speak out to break Liu Zhixun's silence.
However, although the two of them wanted to leave here, they couldn't find any exit to leave here, and the whole room was like a small confined space, which could not be opened from the inside. At this time, Zhang Xinya once again focused on the key's (shēn), which was different from when she had just arrived, the key that was originally silver-white was now dyed with a layer of golden light, and under the soft light of this room, there were also dots of light shining.
"Out-of-town people, I'm surprised that you can actually come here." Just when the two of them were at a loss, the voice of the woman (xìng) in the video just now came from the room.
"Don't be surprised, I'm just an artificial intelligence, I don't pose any threat to you, I'm just using it to screen if it's appropriate to hear about the Nuwa Project (qíng) when you come here to get people."
"Congratulations, two, as one of the few people in this world who knows about Nuwa's plans, the two of you will be entrusted with an extremely important mission."
"Oh, we don't accept it, hurry up and let us out.".
Before the AI finished speaking, Zhang Xinya rejected the AI's request first, or rather, the order?
"Why? Aren't people in the outer city supposed to be very fascinated by tasks, missions and responsibilities? ”
