Chapter 887: Mirage

In terms of the insight of a plumber, Greck's father is definitely an outlier in this world, in this world, there will definitely be people who care about people outside the world, there are people who try to uncover the secrets behind the energy storm, and even people who are worried that this world will stop working one day, but under normal circumstances, most of the people who worry about these things are well-informed people, and their position determines the knowledge they can access, just like the captain of the "Hope" who is quite legendary among the people, It is said to be a high-ranking monk of the former Ayutthaya Senate.

Glick's father was just a plumber, a native of a humble town called "Condenser", a plumber who had worked with metal sorting all his life, so his insight was really impressive.

No wonder even an old man like Barnard who looks generous and peaceful will make a "cranky" evaluation of old Glick, as a commoner, Old Glick is indeed too unsociable, maybe he belongs to the wave of serious victimization paranoia in the eyes of ordinary people in this world, of course, his "paranoia" is 100% true.

Glick shows us a lot of things about his father, there are creaking data terminals, there are flickering holographic recorders, and worn-out notebooks and pictures, after hundreds of thousands of years, many things have been polished by the years and almost lost their original appearance, even the theoretical eternal existence of the imperial creation, in the years after the war, it is constantly damaged, and Glick's father who likes to "whimsy" is in these messy and ambiguous records to deduce the truth of the world, And came to the astonishing fact that this world has been destroyed once, and everything now will eventually dry up.

If even a plumber can discover such a truth, then what are the people in this world who are more qualified to discover all this are doing?

Sandora and I thought of this in unison.

Children are children after all, and despite the excitement of the day, Glick was unable to resist his lack of strength, rubbing his eyes and saying goodnight to us, and went back to his cabin. The kid wanted to arrange a place for the guests, but he himself knew that his small tin house was not a good place to entertain guests at all, and he knew that we had our own space and equipment, so naturally we had a way to solve our own accommodation problems, so we went back to sleep first.

Originally, everyone could have teleported back to the Imperial Admiral and spent the night in the comfortable royal rest area, but spending a bleak night in the world after such an apocalypse seemed to be a novel experience, so Asa (as many people must have guessed, at this time it must be Asak's suggestion to be the first to pop up) enthusiastically pulled us to the ground outside the town......

Thankfully, Sandora has set up spatial shielding and triggering devices around it to prevent a possible nocturnal wanderer from panicking when she discovers a row of corpses lying on the side of the avenue outside the town. Lying in the warm sleeping bag, my mood is one after another, I think of the classic joke of two people sleeping in the wild only to find that the tent has been stolen, I think of the bitter experience of a certain buddy sleeping in the middle of nowhere, I think of the bitter experience of a snake in the sleeping bag of a certain buddy sleeping in the wilderness, I think of the snake if that buddy's name is Bell, then the snake will have a lot of bitter experience, and more importantly, I think of the fact that it is easy to go to the warm, comfortable and fresh air of the spaceship to rest in the living module, But what a stupid thing it is to lay on this scrap metal planet with six skulls in the air pollution index......

"Experience life, experience life."

Her shallow and bright eyes flashed in the dim night light, and she was looking at this side with big eyes, because we had spread a large piece of high-speed polymerization gel on the ground, which was almost a large bed covering an area of more than ten square meters, so she simply rolled over with a sleeping bag, arching to me like a caterpillar, "I used to imagine when I watched a movie, if I was wrapped in a warm sleeping bag in such a world of apocalypse, I watched the last night in the world fall asleep, What a romantic thing that must have been, and now that dream has finally come true......"

Me: "......"

Two meters away, Lin Xue's muttering voice came: "Wood, if you have time, you should really take a shallow look at your brain, do you think a few characters in her words just now are logical!" ”

Well, one more time, I: "......"

When you are with Shallow, there will always be such and such things that make people speechless but happy in the end, which may be one of this girl's wonderful natural skills, that is, to be self-centered and make everyone in the neighborhood happy.

We are always dragged by her to do this and that, and one of her whims makes everyone jump, such as forming her own ability organization with great interest, or pulling everyone to lay on this metal ruin in the middle of the night, discussing how romantic the end of the world is, which sounds silly, but it cannot be denied that this is indeed a rare experience.

Later, I slowly summed up a reason, that is, the reason why I can be so happy with Qianqian is entirely because only with her can you make an excuse for your childish fun, and then have a good time - "Because I want to accompany Qianqian, I have to go crazy with her", but in this way, when is it not as happy as her?

We gradually grew up, gradually sophisticated, gradually matured, sharpened off, but also threw away the childish and naïve heart, we wrapped ourselves with a calm and capable shell, so a lot of stupid things that have not been done enough had to be thrown into the corner of memory, but for shallow, this process of grinding off innocence seems to have never begun, her heart will always stay in the era when the grass grows and the warbler flies and can accompany the childhood sweetheart to jump over the wall to play, she jumps out, clever, with a little willfulness, full of childishness, she didn't care about her identity and the eyes of others, she was immersed in whimsical pleasure, and she also dragged us crazy together, so that everyone had an excuse to throw away the shell, and vent the childishness that was usually suppressed and dared not release - such as sleeping on the ruins.

This may be her most powerful place, so that I, Sandora, my sister, Lin Xue, everyone will always be out of reach.

"Ah Jun," Asa, who had only one head coming out of her sleeping bag, had always dreamed of hiding in a sleeping bag in the middle of nowhere, just like in the adventure novels she read as a child, and now her wish had finally come true, "It's like a big bed." ”

Me: "...... Oh. ”

"Ah Jun sleeps in the same bed with a lot of girls."

"Poof!"

This girl's brain is working in another dimension when she speaks, right!?

Lin Xue's fluttering voice came from not far away, as if she was about to hold back her laughter to internal injury, Shandora didn't make a sound, but the moment she was stiff, she could see that her sister let out a faint sigh on the other side: "...... Even I've been counted, Jun, and it's time for us to check our shallow heads. ”

There is also Yakumo Blue who stays here to accompany the shallow to make nerves and lay on the floor, but now the fox can't take care of us, she is trying to try to stuff her nine tails into the sleeping bag, which is not easy, she has been tossing and turning there for half an hour, and now she has just stuffed the sixth, and there is no space in the sleeping bag, in fact, I am very curious about one thing, as a general animal with nine tails, is it really necessary for her to cover the quilt?

"Blue, do you need to help?"

I turned my head to look at the big fox who was about to make himself a ball not far away, and Zi Ma asked me to take this guy out to see the world, and said that she could be our assistant, but now it seems that this fox is a little useful except for the mercury lamp or the small bubble as a bed, and at other times it is simply a cute launcher.

"No, I can do it myself - the sleeping bag is such a strange thing, why didn't it leave room for the tail when it was designed?"

I rolled my eyes speechlessly: "Because we don't have long tails." You toss slowly, pay attention to the hair on the tail has just grown, and don't cry your nose when you get rid of it. ”

Blue may have vaguely agreed, but now my eyelids were heavy, and I couldn't hear anything clearly, and after straightening the pillow under my head that didn't match my sleeping bag but was forced to use by Bingtis, I fell asleep neatly.

The sleep only lasted for a short time, maybe this environment is really not suitable for people to rest, and in a daze, I was excited by a sudden cold air, and then woke up.

It was dark all around, and in this world of ruins, artificial lights were precious due to the extra energy required, and no one would set up street lights in the wilderness, even if this "wilderness" was only a kilometer away from the nearest settlement, and only a faint red ring could be seen high in the sky, which was the outer space fusion reactor at its lowest power to provide minimal night lighting and temperature maintenance for this world.

The temperature at night in this place is really low, it seems that the artificial atmosphere on this ruined planet is not very strong, and the preservation efficiency of the temperature is not enough, the temperature around is only about a dozen degrees, fortunately, for our physique, the ambient temperature and the like have long been taken into account.

Asaa fell asleep quietly next to her, her body facing herself, curled up slightly like a baby, and it was rare to see her sleeping a little better, and I think the semi-closed structure of the sleeping bag played a vital role in maintaining her sleeping position.

There were no sun, moon and stars in the sky, and I couldn't tell what time it was, so I could only read it from the information link and found that I had slept for less than thirty minutes.

Maybe it was an unexpected insomnia in an unfamiliar environment, I don't feel sleepy at all now, after lying down bored for a few minutes, I still got out of my sleeping bag, planning to walk around, maybe moderate exercise can help me fall asleep for a while, of course, I am also a little curious about the scenery of this world in the middle of the night.

It seems that a philosopher has said that there are only two periods of time when the most quiet and pure night on earth exists, the first period is before the birth of human civilization, and the second period starts from the second night of the end of the world, and now this has been confirmed: when human civilization loses the power of noise, this world can really be so quiet.

Before you know it, you have left the place where everyone is camping for hundreds of meters, and after turning a hill formed by turret armor plates that are diagonally inserted into the ground, there is an endless land of scrap metal in front of you, sharp and twisted steel stands on the ground, in the deep night like countless skinny dry arms grabbing from hell to the sky, and the strengthened vision allows you to see these strange and craggy alloy bones in such a dim light, but it can't dispel the strange atmosphere brought by these alloy bones.

It's like walking on the corpse of a decaying giant, everything on this ruined planet is now emitting the stench of death, and the wreckage of the giant starship that looked somewhat magnificent during the day has now become a monotonous silhouette in the dark, leaving only the sadness of the end of the world under the action of the simplest light and darkness, and there is no trace of beauty.

I don't know which ship frame beam was the path underneath my feet, and after walking along it for a long time, I found myself at the end of the road, standing on a flying cliff.

This flying cliff may be the junction of the battleship, and the special interface compartment allows it to form a treacherous spectacle protruding tens of meters from the cliff below, and I think I may have come to the other end of this metal station, and in front of me is a strange small basin, and the "condenser" town must be on the opposite side of this small basin - the direction behind me.

The temperature around me seemed to be lower, as if the fusion reactors in outer space had stopped even the worst of the thermal radiation, and the world was immersed in an unprecedented silence, and I stood in this eerie silence for a while, until I suddenly felt a low commotion under my feet.

Depressed, low, and slowly spreading, as if an unimaginably huge beast was slowly waking up from the depths of the earth, and some kind of low-frequency sound waves that could barely be distinguished by the human ear were being transmitted from under the tens of thousands of kilometers of metal earth below, forming a dizzying and disgusting resonance in the air, and many chaotic images seemed to pass through my mind at once, and vaguely, I saw the whole picture of this ruined planet.

In the deep darkness, it shuddered, and then its body quickly covered with dark red cracks.

The vision in his mind and the scene in front of him suddenly coincided, and a long, abrupt and piercing scream sounded in my ears, and then the earth began to split in front of my eyes.

A crack suddenly opened in the small basin in front of him, and bright energy sparks erupted from the crack, which was only a few dozen meters long at first, but in just a few seconds, it exploded beyond the horizon as far as the eye could see, connecting with more and wider cracks that spread there, forming a chaotic network of sparks of energy that covered the entire earth, and blue-white ghostly sparks jumped between the metal shards, rapidly heating the wreckage until their edges turned as fiery red as in that visionI watched the great change in front of me in a groggy state, and thought that the people of the town might not know about this great disaster, but for some reason they didn't have the slightest interest in taking action.

It was as if he had become a spectator, watching the earth fall apart before his eyes as if watching a documentary that had already taken place, and the ruined planet that had been silent for hundreds of thousands of years was stretching its body, shaking off the dust on the surface of its body, and everything was turned upside down in an instant.

The crack that stretched from the basin suddenly turned in a direction, and instantly extended to the foot, and then, the suddenly expanding crack swallowed itself without any suspense, and the sound of whirring wind brought by the high-speed fall of the body was heard in my ears......

Everything that was grotesque came to an abrupt end here, and when his eyes suddenly opened, there was still a quiet night in front of him, and the dim fusion reactor hung in space three thousand kilometers away, evenly arranged in the sky, like a tungsten lamp with insufficient voltage, only a dark red halo was emitting a weak glimmer.

The earth was falling apart and the sound of the reactor starting from the depths of the earth was gone, and after a few seconds, I realized that I had just had a ridiculous dream.

Rubbing my eyes, sobering up a little, I suddenly felt a heaviness in my chest, and when I looked down, I saw a stupid face that was sleeping in a daze, it was shallow, this girl was stacked on top of me in an almost completely overlapping way, and the posture was like a white crane's bright wings, and the sleeping bag was gone......

It seems that the scene in the previous dream is really absurd, even the sleeping bag can't stop the shallow sleeping appearance, I think I'm afraid that except for Tavel's coffin cabin, there is nothing in this world that can stop the shallow from selling cuteness while sleeping.

Gently putting Asa aside, I got up and walked to the edge of the campsite, and carefully stepped over Yakumo Blue, who had rolled at his feet at some point, the big fox seemed to have won the final victory last night, tucking all nine of her tails into her sleeping bag, the only regret was that she had forgotten herself outside......

That's right, just like your brain, this nine-tailed girl who doesn't know what to think about her brain stuffs her tail in the bed, but she sleeps outside naked, and she really likes to sleep naked.

As soon as my eyes swept over the fox, a sinister voice came from behind me: "Wood, do you want to take another look, believe it or not, Miss Ben is going to wake up both Sandora and Assa?" ”

I was full of excitement, and quickly looked at the dantian with my eyes, nose, nose, mouth, and mouth, and threw aside a beautiful fox who liked to sway in front of my eyes, and turned my head to Lin Xue with a silly smile: "Morning, girl." ”

"Early? It's not early. ”

Lin Xue had already dressed neatly, and even looked at the wet hair that had just been combed, she looked up at the night that was still dark, and the soft voice came along the night breeze, "It's already morning, but those fusion piles haven't lit up." ”
