Chapter 38: Hope is Despair
"How long do you think I'll have to wait for you?"
"Two years! In two years, I will be capable. Now I find it really hard to give you what you want. β
"Two years? I think you're really naΓ―ve! The reason you gave me at the beginning was that I felt that I was incapable. Now, it's still ......"
"What do you think I want?"
"You think it's for me? You're doing it for that poor self-esteem in your heart. β
"I ...... I just want to ...... on my own."
"You're a coward."
"Well, I'm sorry!"
"I don't know what you want to do now, you've always thought about what you think, have you thought about what I think?"
"I'm sorry, but I'm trying to ......"
"Effort? Seven years of struggle in the last days for a ridiculous vision? You're a joke! β
"You're a joke!"
"Joke~!"
"Whew~! Call~! β
"Whew~"
"Whew~"
"How long did I sleep?"
The dazzling afterglow made Bai Chang squint slightly, looking at the fiery clouds covering half of the sky in the distance, and asked with a somewhat numb expression.
"The host has slept for 10h53m53s, reminding the host that your biological system has collapsed by 30%, and it is recommended to replenish energy in time for repair."
"Light Brain."
"Host, please tell me what can work for you."
"Get out of my pendant." Bai Chang held the jade cicada in his hand, and his face looked a little gnashing.
"Once bound and combined, it is difficult for the optical brain chip to separate from the original item, which is the 124th time that the host has made such an unreasonable request."
"I T..... Well, you can! You're a wolfbrain! β
"Then if I don't recharge, how much can I increase a person's strength with the energy gathering stones consumed? How much purchasing power is equivalent to the last days? β
"Theoretically, you can reach the seventh-order life level, but if you take the host as an example, you can only reach the sixth-order peak, which is not enough to break through the seventh-order."
"In terms of purchasing power, theoretically, combined with a variety of conditions, it is equivalent to the gross income of White Los Angeles for three years."
"Tell me how simply, exactly!"
"Converted into the value of the civilization period, that is, the 6789543366, in fact, there are not many people, in the process of the second type of civilization, this kind of measured energy absorption is relatively common."
The jade cicada glowed slightly, and the cold voice echoed in Bai Chang's mind, giving him the answer he wanted. However, Bai Chang's expression was extremely abnormal, as if he was laughing but not crying, which was indescribable.
"In seven years, it took almost more than 6 billion to shatter my illusions, which is worth it! It really is! β
The shattering of hope made Bai Chang no longer believe in any miracles, and seven years was really enough. There is no reason to insist on it anymore.
"Time rewind exists, please don't question the detection of suspected civilized items by this light brain."
"Questioning, haha~"
"Charging, spiritual power above level 6 are the two necessary conditions for time rewinding."
"Then you'd start going back in time! I was just a fool and held on to ridiculous thoughts for seven years. β
"Trying to start ......"
The green glow slowly emanated from the jade cicada, starting from Bai Chang's arm and slowly enveloping his whole body. However, for this situation, Bai Chang did not have the slightest joy.
When the green light completely enveloped Bai Chang, he saw that the light in the jade cicada suddenly went out, like a dumb engine, and there was no movement in a blink of an eye.
"Sure enough." Bai Chang shook his head helplessly, with a bit of self-deprecation on his face.
I didn't expect that until now, I still have a glimmer of hope, which is really ridiculous.
"The seventeenth attempt failed, the problem is being resolved, please wait patiently, it is expected that it will only take ten years."
"Ten years?"
"Yes, ten years."
"Haha, then you take your time. I'm not in a hurry! Come on! β
The dazzling sunshine is particularly spicy in this day of yellow sand. As if feeling the injustice in Bai Chang's heart, 03 opened a pair of compound wings on his back and bent them slightly, shielding Bai Chang with a faint shade.
"Alas!"
sighed lightly, wiped his half-white hair, Bai Chang was like an old man who was about to die, lying decadently on 03's back, and closed his eyes in a blink of an eye.
"This is only a short period of time compared to the 300 years that the host can theoretically live for now, so please don't give up hope."
"No, I understand it, sometimes hope is despair......"
"Are you sure you want to stop parsing?"
"Sure."
At this time, a gust of wind rolled up, the yellow sand was rolling, one person and one Gu, just aimlessly, with a bit of depression, slowly moving towards the north......
........................ Boundary........................
In 2029, the space is shattered, and the abyssal rift appears in Yanjing, Dongjin, Sri Lanka, and Jiujingshan......
On March 3rd, the Abyss Demons invaded on all fronts!
Within 10 months, 60% of the remaining human bases were destroyed, 7 fortresses were destroyed, 7 were in Asia, 3 in Europe, 1 in Oceania, and 4 in North and South America, a total of 15, and the total population of the world dropped sharply from 2.13 billion to 1.12 billion......
In 2030, Oceania is confirmed to have completely fallen, becoming the second continent lost by humanity. In the same year, Africa was completely alienated and no longer adapted to the life of native creatures......
In 2031, the Federation of Humans announced the rupture of the Federation, calling on all mankind to gather to the Nine Great Fortresses and try to persevere:
Huaxia: Zulong Fortress (Chang'an), Tianfu Fortress (Shudi SC);
Suou: Shulmanse; The United States and the Soviet Union: Bering Fortress;
U.S. and Canada: Greene Fortress, Pakistan-Mexico: Caribbean Fort;
And: Fortress of Seoul, Fortress of Esha, Fortress of the Gods.
In 2032, the Zerg, the Blood, and the Abyss fought in a three-way melee, and the humans were able to breathe, and in the same year, the Xenomorphic worlds began to merge, the space expanded, and the nine fortresses began to lose contact.
On October 1 of the same year, Zulong and Tianfu Fortress jointly issued a voice to establish the capital of Huaxia and the capital of Chang'an, announcing that human civilization had officially entered the isolated island civilization, also known as the fortress civilization and the sunset civilization......
In 2035, the fifteenth year of the last days,
On September 19,
Zulong Fortress, Chang'an New Town, Outer City on the 7th Floor, Maple Block, No. 23:
"Hm~Hm~"
With the first rays of sunshine in the morning, a group of seven or eight-year-old children were already standing in the courtyard and started the day's morning exercise.
"Hah! Ha! β
The one-foot ironwood stick, weighing nearly five catties, was wielded by them, and it was obvious that they had been practicing for a long time. A faint glow reflected the beads of sweat on their foreheads. Although the children's physique is thin, fortunately, their eyes are full of young vitality and look extraordinarily vigorous.
The wooden sticks, knives and guns in the iron frame have long been black and translucent.
Not only that, the rows of pits on the entire courtyard site are quite neat, plus the lintel, the rusty signboard, and the word "martial arts" remain.
All of this reveals the identity of this place.
"Smack!"
The two wooden doors that looked a little dilapidated were pushed open directly, and a black figure came out directly. When I looked closely, I saw a strange puppy covered in black scale armor, swinging its tail and starting to circle the field excitedly.
The children's eyes followed the puppy's movements back and forth, obviously very interested. However, the strict training made their movements not go wrong.
"Ahem~"
A faint cough came from the room, and then I saw an old man with a stiff figure and white hair, slowly walking out.
After glancing around, the old man nodded slightly. Suddenly, with one eye, he stepped out and came directly behind the fifth child in the fourth row, with the cane in his hand and a light pat on his waist:
"Fat bastard, my waist is straight, and then I will be hunched back."
The hoarse voice, at this moment, like the most stern head teacher, made the little fat dun quickly straighten his waist. However, in this way, the round belly stood up directly, causing the movements of the dance stick to be a little incoherent.
"Tsk! Today's children, what a good life, our era....." The old man shook his head and preached, with a faint breath of time on his face.
Pacing slowly, looking at a full circle, he slowly walked out of the door, and the crutch clicked on the black dog behind him, and said:
"Dog, take care of these little ghosts! I went for morning tea, casually went for a square dance, and moved around. β
Then I saw the old man walking out of the door slowly with a cane step by step, ignoring the children who were still practicing behind him.
Da, da, da......
