Chapter 4: Back to the Future
We live in a three-dimensional space, just like a cube composed of length, width and height, when this cube is given time, it becomes a four-dimensional space, time exists in different forms with each space, some space in time can be liquid, can also be energy or even solid existence, those spaces are not a copy of our world, they have their own independent consciousness and principles, they are strung together by each timeline, each space is like a camping tent, It is an independent fragment in the vast space of time. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Our lives follow the rules contained in the only timeline, but there is such a group of people who have been freed from the limitations of the timeline and can enter from one dimensional space to another, in their eyes, time is no longer an obstacle to limiting themselves, but has become a ferry across different dimensions, they are shuttling in different time and space, returning to the past, and entering the future, they have no fixed occupation, no fixed residence, no one knows their true identity.
When Lu Yan opened his eyes again, he saw a world he had never seen before, the sky was green, a grassy green, like a lake covered with aquatic plants, under the sky, there were no high-rise buildings, no house buildings, but black spires, each of which towered into the green sky, and there was no trace of life in this world, nor did it feel a little similarity and connection with his own world.
"This is 80 years from now?" Lu Yan asked.
"Does the world in 80 years surprise you? Do you think that the future should be like in "Star Wars", all of which are high-rise buildings and all kinds of flying machines in the sky? The Ranger said.
Lu Yan nodded lightly: "Is this still the earth?" ”
"Of course, it's just Earth in another dimension, let's go, we've been delayed for a long time." Quickly sent his hand to urge Lu Yanzhu to walk forward.
The three of them walked about 200 meters, this distance was like walking on the desert for Lu Yan, the air was full of dry breath, there was no trace of moisture, and it didn't take long to feel that his throat was dry and unbearable. The three of them came to a black tower, and the fast hand scanned the ring of his right hand on a small window on the black tower, and a crack slowly cracked in the middle of the black tower, and a door appeared in front of the three of them, and the fast hand walked in front, and the hunter cushioned behind, and the three of them passed through a narrow passage in turn. The environment inside the passage was as dry as the outside world, Lu Yan felt an indescribable dullness and fear, fortunately, the passage was not long, and the three of them came to a door again, still using the ring as the key, and after the door was opened, it was still another passage. In this way, a total of five doors were opened, and after walking through five passages, the three of them came to a different door, which was much larger and thicker than the first five, densely covered with rivets and buttons, and on either side of the door were two rows of indicator lights, which flashed red. This time, instead of using the key, the fast starter walked to the door and stood still, and after a second, the lights on both sides turned green, and with a few crisp clicks of unlocking, the heavy door slowly opened. The moment the door opened, the sound of a tsunami that seemed to be a whole stadium poured out, and the door separated two different worlds.
"Well, this is the Earth in 80 years, isn't it cool?" Kuaifa patted Lu Yan's shoulder and said.
"And we're 200 meters underground!" The Ranger added.
"Underground? But we have been walking on flat ground, and there is no downhill road. Lu Yan was even more confused about the hunter's statement.
"That's the 80-year gap, don't underestimate our technology." The Ranger said with a smile.
If the giant towers on the ground made Lu Yan feel frightened and puzzled, then the scene in front of him could only make Lu Yan marvel. 80 years later, human beings seem to have carved out a huge, or boundless, space where buildings of all heights are hidden, elevated roads, parks, parking lots, hospitals, schools, shopping malls, all the buildings and facilities you can see in your life are readily available, and one of the dilapidated buildings even has the shadow of the Oriental Pearl. The people here live as normal as on the ground, and this is a world that Lu Yan is all too familiar with.
"Why is there sunlight so deep underground? Will it rain and snow here? Lu Yan asked.
"It's not real sunlight, it's an artificially created energy, 99% approximate to sunlight, and it's almost impossible to feel the difference between it and real sunlight, including rain, snow, thunder and lightning, and we can even create tornadoes if we want." Said the fast hand.
"Because sometimes the weather has a great influence, so the weather control center is one of the core departments here, and not everyone can go in, Fa Kuaishou used to work there, but he knows the trick of controlling the weather." The Ranger added.
"Why do you want to live underground, is the ground no longer suitable for human habitation?"
"The ground has long been destroyed by humans, and there was an irreparable explosion on the ground 35 years ago, so we had to abandon the surface, and now it seems that this place is not bad." Said the fast hand.
Lu Yan was so curious about this underground city that he didn't even know where to start, he followed the two of them all the way forward, stopping in front of a baroque building.
"Where is this?"
"This is your temporary residence." The fast hand replied.
This building is not only pure on the outside, but also authentic baroque in the interior decoration and furnishings, Lu Yan got a separate room, and the old furniture gave him the illusion of being on earth.
"Stay here and don't leave, someone will come looking for you. Don't worry, relax, we'll see you at dinner. After finishing speaking, he casually closed the door of Lu Yan's room.
Lu Yan sat on the edge of the bed and tried it, and the mattress was much softer than the one at home. The furnishings in the room were simple, a desk and a wardrobe, and two simple sofas, with few but crammed furniture. Lu Yan stood up and walked to the window, opened the gauze curtain with patterns, and pushed open the window, there was a green grass outside, a row of fences separated the grass from the road outside, and there were many vehicles coming and going on the road, and there were three or two pedestrians walking on the side of the road. In the distance, there are countless tall buildings, and greenery of various scales is exposed between the tall buildings. All these scenes are no different from what he sees in Earth City, Lu Yan even wants to find his own residence as far as his eyes can see, maybe it won't be long before he can go home.
Lu Yan's mind was awakened by a crisp knock on the door, he closed the window and opened the door after closing the curtains, outside the door stood a young woman of his own age, her hair was coiled high, a capable uniform reminded Lu Yan of a police officer or a judge, and behind the woman stood an old man with gray hair, wrinkles like ruts deep and neat.
"Can we come in?" The old man spoke first, his voice faint and breathless.
"Please come in." Lu Yan opened the door completely and turned sideways to let the old man and the woman into the room.
"Young man, are you satisfied with this place?" The old man sat down on one of the sofas, and the woman stood beside him.
"Of course, there is almost no difference between here and us." Lu Yan closed the door and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Do you mean your earth, where the beauty of the scenery is no longer seen? How did you feel for the first time today, and can your body still adapt? ”
"What first time?"
"Time travel, of course." The woman standing on the old man's side said in a tone that resembled a mid-bass tone.
"The experience was good, but I'm still a little dizzy now."
"There aren't many people who can survive the first time, it seems that the two of them have put a lot of effort into you, do you know why you are here?"
"All I know is that I had a dream, and I said it was both a dream and a reality, but I don't know what that means."
"Link is right, Link is what we call the fast starter, I hope you can get used to it." The old man smiled at Lu Yan and said, "The dream represents what you think, and it also represents what you have encountered, it may have happened, it is happening, it may be about to happen. And your dream is about to happen, but we don't want that dream to come true, and I think you must be too. ”
Lu Yan nodded and said, "Who is that person in my dream?" ”
"That's a man we're looking for, and you'll learn about what he's doing."
"When will I be able to go home?"
"If by home you mean a place that is safe, comfortable, soft and delicious, this is your home. If you mean that home on Earth, I hope you can forget about it for a while, because no one can guarantee your safety there, but I promise you that one day you will return to the home you miss. ”
After saying this, the old man stood up, he walked up to Lu Yan and grabbed his hand and said, "Child, faith and hope have sustained us to this point, and that is also the root of everything you see here, I hope you can also feel and have it." Rest well, if you have any questions, you can ask this Miss Luo Yi directly, and her answer will satisfy you. With that, he turned around and walked out slowly.
