It's half past eight in the morning in the Ruins World - of course, this time is calculated by conversion, people on this planet are not used to the twenty-four-hour clock, but my sister and the sisters agreed that thirty hours a day is too much of a headache, so we converted the time here to the Earth standard timekeeping method.

Under normal circumstances, the daylight of the Ruins Realm starts at six o'clock in the morning, and every morning, the timing center of "Big City" broadcasts the standard time to the entire Ruins Realm, and then the solar furnace maintenance workers will restart the fusion reactors over all the planets, those reactors that have been running at low power for a night will take thirty minutes to fully recover power, and by half past six, the bright "sunshine" will sprinkle all over the earth, and the day of the Ruins Realm will begin.

But that's all normal thing.

Today, there is no dawn in the Ruined World - it is not accurate to say that the sun is activated normally in other places, although they are also a few minutes slower, and technically only the northern hemisphere of the ruined planet beneath our feet has not yet reached dawn. Of course, the northern hemisphere here is also an artificially attached concept for convenience, all the celestial bodies in this space have no orbit and stable magnetic field, which makes it difficult to divide them into south, south, south, and northwest, in order to facilitate the unification of the intelligence collected by the scouts from these ruined planets, we had to use a shallow "simple azimuth calibration method", that is, throwing shoes, after throwing three pairs of shoes in a row, shallow felt that the place we were in should be the northern hemisphere......

Everything was still shrouded in the thick of the night. The sky hung with a faint red halo, like a low-powered tungsten lamp, as mentioned before. As far as the eye can see, the same is true for the rest of the sky at the end of the spectrum, where all the fusion reactors in the Northern Hemisphere have not yet been activated, leaving everything here in darkness and cold.

I looked around. Finding that except for herself who had just woken up, was still snoring, and the big fox was still in a daze, everyone else had already woken up, and Sandora was standing on a metal pillar protruding from the ground dozens of meters away, looking into the distance and not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking. My sister was still in a state of getting up with low blood pressure, squinting and scratching around looking for a comb.

"It's a ridiculous day to sleep with so many girls in the big bed......"

Miss Lin pinched my neck, blew on my ears in a weird way and said, the corner of my eye jumped and knocked her head with my backhand, "You don't want to think with a shallow way, okay?" ”

The eldest lady cut and continued to look up at the sky.

At some point, small bright spots appeared around the still dim red circle of light in the sky. These small bright spots were slowly moving along the edges of the former, and after looking closely, I noticed that there were some thin rays of light connected between them and the aperture, and after looking at them for a long time. I touched Lin Xue's arm: "Girl, what is that?" ”

Lin Xue didn't look up at all, she didn't need to use her regular "eyes" to observe things outside the line of sight like me, but instead narrowed her eyes, and the white light under her eyes flashed.

"It's a ship that repairs fusion reactors, and they're trying to reactivate the artificial sun, and they've tried it no less than ten times since six o'clock. Of course. It doesn't seem to have succeeded once. ”

Lin Xue's tone couldn't hear the emotion, as if she was just stating the facts. I had a vague feeling that something terrible was happening, but I didn't know how serious it had become. It is easy to find out the current situation in the Ruins Realm on the information link, because PL-15 released countless probes yesterday, these probes monitor every corner of the three ruin planets and the entire ruin ring, according to the information fed back by the probes, all the fusion reactors used to assume the role of artificial sun today only started operating a few minutes after the "big city" gave the order to start, and all the reactors in the northern hemisphere of the first ruin star, which is the planet under our feet, have not been started until now.

"Did they break down at the same time?"

"This is one of the reasons," Lin Xue tucked away her hair that was blown by the cold wind, "Those fusion piles are in disrepair, I can see that they have accumulated hundreds of thousands of years of decay, they should have been urgently created after the end of the world, and they have been used until today...... But there are other reasons why so many fusion reactors are failing at the same time today, but I'm not an expert in nuclear engineering...... The only thing that is certain is that this does not bode well. ”

"Not a good sign......"

I repeated it in a low voice, and then suddenly remembered something, "I just had a dream." ”

Lin Xue's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Come on, let this prophet test your dreams, you first stretch out your hand and show you your face......

I didn't react until I stretched out my hand, really, this girl went crazy too suddenly, and she didn't give me a chance to react!

I slapped Lin Xue's claws off and said very seriously: "No kidding, I think that dream is not ordinary......"

At the moment, I told the chaotic dreams I had just told as they were, including seeing all the fusion piles dim at night, a low rumbling sound coming from under the earth, the instant disintegration of the planets, and my own ignorant fall into the center of the earth.

Lin Xue listened to my statement, her eyes opened wider and wider, and finally couldn't help but interrupt after reaching the bottom: "Wait! Wood, you said that after you dreamed of the most lush, the planet cracked, and then fell to the center of the earth? ”

"Not quite at all," I thought for a moment, "and woke up as soon as I fell down." ”

"Don't care about the details," Lin Xue waved her hand, and then looked at me with straight eyes, making people feel weird, "Wood, I also had the exact same dream, even the shape and position of that small basin are not bad at all - you look behind yourself." ”

Lin Xue stretched out her hand and pointed to the opposite side, I turned around in the direction of her finger, and a small basin exactly like in my dream appeared in front of me.

"You've probably never seen this place before, this is the first time we've been here on this platform. Only here can the basin be seen. Lin Xue said in a low voice.

"We had the same dream?"

"It's not 'the same dream', it's that you have the same dream as me, and there is a difference: this dream belongs to me. You are an accidental bystander," Lin Xue narrowed her eyes slightly, and a milky white halo began to circulate under her eyes, "That's not an ordinary illusion. You should have noticed that you can clearly recall every detail you saw at the time, and even after you wake up, there is nothing grotesque about recalling what you saw at the time. This is not the case with normal dreams. Normal dreams become incomplete after waking up, and even trained psychologists find it difficult to recall 100% of what they dreamed of, and recalling the scenes in their dreams while lucid can easily detect the absurdity of those scenes. Now that you think about it, is there anything ridiculous about that dream in retrospect? ”

I thought about it seriously, and after working hard for half a minute, I finally found that it was exactly what Lin Xue said. That dream was unusually clear and reasonable from beginning to end, and now recalling the scene at that time also has the feeling of looking back on a memory, not a hallucination, well. But if you have to say that there is no absurdity, there should be one -

"There is an abnormal place, it is particularly incredible," I nodded solemnly, causing Lin Xue to be surprised for a while, "I didn't kick the quilt in my dream!" ”

"Oh, that's really incredible," Lin Xue nodded with deep surprise. And then he kicked it over, "You can't be reliable!" Miss Ben means. That dream was actually my ability at work, it was a passive prophecy. And then, you wood, I don't know what's going on, you actually broke into Miss Ben's spiritual world, you bastard! ”

I hurriedly jumped to the side: "You said no, I don't know if I have a poor understanding?" ”

Lin Xue had nothing to say at that time: in the face of my calmness in some aspects, she was always helpless.

"Well, in other words, this world realm is really possible...... It's over? ”

Seeing that the eldest lady didn't speak for a long time, I had to take the initiative to pull the topic back again.

"One of the possibilities, but I don't know what caused this ruin to disintegrate suddenly," Lin Xue covered her forehead with some distress, "In other words, if you can't find a way to avoid it, then there is a chance that it will happen." We still don't know what is maintaining this space, nor how its special structure is formed, but my intuition tells me that if this world collapses in the future, it must be something that is wrong with the 'core' that maintains its current situation. Of course it shouldn't happen anytime soon, I'm sure of that. Now I'm more curious about how you see my dreams. ”

Lin Xue said the last sentence, suddenly raised her head and looked straight here, in the night, the all-seeing pupils that wandered with white light looked like searchlights-I instantly thought of a dog's eyes lit up.

"You turn off the skill first," I quickly waved my hand in front of Lin Xue, "Weird dazzling...... Ahem, maybe the two of us have a heart? Then when I went to sleep, I was in good spirits. ”

Lin Xue's face suddenly flushed slightly: "Have a heart? Can we get to this point between us? Qianqian slept closer to you, why didn't you see what was going on in her head at all? ”

I thought about it, and suddenly I thought it might be because I didn't really have anything in my head when I was sleeping, or the things I loaded were too weird, and after sharing, there was a garbled code.

"This makes sense...... Lin Xue nodded with a subtle face when she heard my explanation, "I really can't imagine how her brain usually works." As for Sandora, you shouldn't be able to understand that the Apostle Hilin is sleeping or dreaming, and if she happens to be thinking about the origin of the universe, then you must think that it is more gibberish than gibberish. Sister, it may be because it's a little far away from you, and there is also the big fox that sleeps naked, and the brainwaves of canines and primates are incompatible......"

Ruled out like this, it seems that the only person here who can mentally synchronize with me in the previous situation is Lin Xue, but Zhilu Dao doesn't seem to make much sense, what we are really curious about now is why I actually experienced Lin Xue's dream in person?

We discussed this topic for several minutes, and finally no one could come up with a reason, when my sister suddenly beckoned us from a distance, and the topic was stopped for the time being.

"Look over there, it's the direction of the town, it seems to be in chaos."

My sister pointed in the direction of the "condenser" town from afar. Said with a frown.

The town a kilometer away was now brightly lit, and there were many searchlight-like beams of light shooting back and forth at the edge of the town, and the strengthened eye could clearly see that there were many people running around under those lights. Obviously, the "sun" in the sky has not yet been ignited and has attracted the attention of ordinary people, and now eighty percent of them are panicking.

Lin Xue and her sister immediately went to clean up the campsite and prepared to go back to the town, but she was still in a daze at this time, and she slept on me with white crane wings all night. As a result, I fell a little stiff, and when I looked at people, I looked like a melancholy girl who was looking at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, and there was a sudden blue scream not far away, and the voice sounded like a canine being stepped on by its tail. It turned out that her tail hair was stuck by the zipper of the sleeping bag, and as soon as she pulled the zipper, she pulled off a large one, and she didn't cry out of the unlucky fox, and when she came to me with her clothes slowly, the nine tails were basically curled, and one of them was still wrapped in bandages. If it weren't for the fear that Lan would really cry, I would have the heart to take a photo and send it to Zi by MMS at this time......

It took a few minutes to fix Blue's tail, and by the time we arrived at Condenser Town, the townspeople were all gathered in the square, and the white light cast by the lampposts around the square was scattered on the faces of these people. Let everyone's face be filled with a sad color. Five or six adults were gathering at the corner of the square to talk about something, and last evening Glick had gleefully introduced us to the whole town, and they were so impressed with us "guests from the big city" that they looked surprised to see us coming from outside the town.

I noticed that these people had worries on their faces, and although they knew what was going on, they still opened their mouths and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"Don't you know the way?" A dark-skinned uncle shook his head, "We thought that the people of Dacheng would more or less know what was going on...... The fusion reactor doesn't seem to be starting. It was still dark. I heard that if this continues, the cold wind will blow, and it is better to hide in the house if there is nothing else. It won't be long before the big city side will pick you up. ”

We said a few noncommittal words and walked to the center of the square.

It seems that the situation is slightly better than expected. Although the inhabitants are at a loss, they have not yet fallen into chaos, and it may be that in this world, the sudden breakdown of those huge machines has become a common thing, so that the sun in the sky suddenly fails to light up can be diluted - of course, it may be a bit taken for granted to say this, anyway, those fusion piles are not things to talk about, basically the ecological lifeblood of this world is maintained on them, if that thing breaks, The calmness of these ordinary people does not know how long they can hold on.

Old Man Barnard was discussing things in a low voice with several other old people in the town, and the residents gathered around these respected old men, keeping a distance of about five meters from them, trying not to make a sound, but the mood of sorrow and confusion was still fermenting in the air.

Like the adults before him, Barnard looked eager when he saw us enter, trying to get information about the fusion furnace from the "man from the big city", except that the reactors might malfunction.

"I've never encountered such an unsettling thing in my life," Barnard kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, "I'm not saying that I haven't seen fusion reactors break down, when I was very young, there were times when fusion reactors didn't light up in time, but only one fusion reactor failed to light up that time, and it only delayed the daylight by less than an hour...... But this time it seems that the situation is much more serious, the sky in the distance is also dark, there is more than one broken fusion reactor, and it is now close to noon......"

"Don't be nervous, it's going to be fixed, it's just a coincidence that things are broken together, we have exact news, Ayutthaya has sent a spaceship to activate those fusion reactors." My sister comforted Mr. Barnard in a calm voice, and the voice was enough for the people nearby to hear, and immediately, the surrounding atmosphere eased a lot, and it seemed that what the "big people from the big city" said was still more convincing.

At this moment, there was a little commotion in the crowd, and Greek's thin figure slipped past the feet of the adults, and he exclaimed in surprise when he saw us: "Wow! So you're still there! I thought you were going back. ”

"Glick, be quiet." Old Man Barnard hurriedly reprimanded, and then his expression softened, "Go home and accompany the water droplets, the sun will be lit up later today, the lights in the town are not enough, and it is easy for children to run around and be dangerous." ”

Grek still listened to the old man, and when he heard this arrangement, he just grimaced at us, and turned his head to leave, but at this moment, there was a sudden and loud commotion in the crowd, which made him stop.

"Look! The reactor is lit up! ”

Someone looked at the sky and made a sound of surprise.

I looked up and saw that the dark red ring hanging a little west in the middle of the dark night was slowly becoming brighter, the dark red color gradually turned to bright red, and then to bright yellow, and the small bright spots around the halo suddenly scattered away like a school of frightened fish, and in the center of the aura, a bright white dot was rapidly expanding, instantly covering the surrounding dull yellow aura. There was silence in the crowd for a moment, and then there was a chaotic cheer, but one step faster than these cheers was Lin Xue's shout: "Close your eyes!" ”

With only two or three seconds of reaction time, the small white dots in the sky swelled into a white ball of light more than three times larger than the normal artificial sun, and then the blinding white light covered the entire sky.

The fusion furnace exploded.
