Under the Sky - The World Outside the City Chapter 01 Youthful sorrow
The night was low, looking up at the starry sky, the bright moon and the twinkling stars that should have been empty could not be seen, and the whole night sky was pitch black, pure black. It is completely unclear how long the night has passed and how long it will take for the day to come.
"The earth is kept fresh in sealed jars!" is an easy-to-understand saying that is widely accepted by the public.
The jar containing the earth, the scientific name is Tianmu, is essentially a magic weapon, and the preservation function of this magic weapon jar allows the earth's aura to be revived, and also makes human life undergo earth-shaking changes.
In the southern city of China, sporadic lights are lit, like a dangerous candle in the dark, and there is a risk of going out at any time.
Hundreds of millions of citizens live in a sprawling city with 100-storey buildings, and this is a super-giant city that has nine such megacities in China, and more than 2 billion citizens live in these nine cities.
The tranquility of Nandu in the night is abnormal, only the tens of thousands of psionic cannons placed on the top of the high-rise buildings are slowly rotating, and when the radar on the cannon body flashes red, the psionic cannons will be fiercely frozen, following the guidance of the radar, and venting their firepower in a certain direction.
The cannonball streaked across the sky, like a meteor, hitting the night sky somewhere not far from the city, and a strange chirp gradually faded away, and the stiff confrontation of the psionic cannon began to slowly turn again when the radar no longer flashed.
In a villa in Xilingyu, a high-end residential area in the southern metropolis.
Lin Yu slowly opened his eyes in the darkness of the bedroom, and what woke him up was not a distant chirp, nor the subtle sound of a psionic cannon, but a habit.
"Three, two, one!" As Lin Yu finished muttering, there was a sudden light outside the window, just like someone turned on the switch of the electric light in the dark, and the earth completed the transformation from night to day in a second.
The wisdom brain that humans have been implanting in their brains since they were young, began to operate as Lin Yu woke up, and the wisdom brain showed a line of text on the ceiling that Lin Yu stared at, 231 years of the new calendar, Friday, October 23, 6:00.
For as long as he can remember, at this time of the day, Lin Yu will always wake up automatically, as if he wants to supervise the arrival of the day.
Lin Yu sat up suddenly and yawned, at this time, the window gradually became transparent, allowing the light and sound from the outside world to slowly pour into the bedroom, giving the bedroom owner a process of adapting to the light.
In the wardrobe of the bedroom, a platform stretched out to deliver the pre-selected clothes from last night to Lin Yu, and at the same time, a virtual mirror reflected him who was a little sleepy.
The young man's face in the mirror is delicate, and under the double eyelids, which are not obvious, are a pair of well-sized eyes, none of the juvenile's facial features are defective, and there is nothing particularly worth talking about, and these organs are arranged and combined to form a standard Asian face.
Lin Yu smiled narcissistically in the mirror, like most men, with a mysterious confidence in his ordinary appearance.
Lin Yu, who got up and dressed, gave people a sense of disharmony, just because of his nearly two-meter-tall body and large muscles all over his body, on the whole, his head seemed to be a little smaller, and the feeling of his delicate face was incompatible with the ferocity of his body.
Dressed neatly, Lin Yu habitually looked at an electronic screen embedded in the bedside table.
The screen shows a meadow scene, and at the center of the scene are three smiling children of seven or eight years old, one of whom is Lin Yu. At the same time as Lin Yu's gaze, the children began to run, and the sound of chasing and fighting came out at the same time.
"Morning!" Lin Yu casually looked at the image on the screen, said hello a little sleepily, and walked out of the bedroom.
After another hour of grinding, Lin Yu, who had finished washing, finally entered the restaurant.
"Or do you want to eat the first meal?" Lin Yu's mother, who was in the kitchen, asked loudly when she saw her son coming.
"Well, replace the steamed eggs with fried ones, medium-rare, salty three. Lin Yu replied as he sat down and said hello to his father Lin Yutang, who was looking at the electronic newspaper with glasses and waiting for a meal.
Lin Mu Jiang Yan operated the machine in the kitchen according to her words, in today's era, as long as you can press the button and have enough raw materials, it is not difficult to make a full banquet, and the taste can be chosen.
"Your mom and I are going out, and we should be back by the end of the year. Father Lin casually folded the newspaper that looked like paper, but was actually an electronic screen, and then announced a decision to his son very casually.
"Ahh
"The third layer of your 'King Kong Jue' is almost complete, right?" Father Lin took the noodles handed by Mother Lin, and explained while sucking: "Your mother and I are thinking about going out to find you some spiritual materials, so that you can continue to practice the 'King Kong Recipe'." ”
"There's no hurry. Lin Yu smiled bitterly and said his real troubles: "At the end of the year, the assessment is coming, if I still can't reach the fifth level of qi refining, I will have to be demoted from Class 1 to Class 8." ”
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, the matter of cultivation pays attention to accumulation, and it comes naturally, you can persist in Class 1 for so long, it is already very unexpected, and it is very gratifying to your parents!" Father Lin raised his head, looked at Lin Yu through the lenses full of mist, and comforted.
"I also understand this, but I am a little unwilling. Lin Yu frowned and sighed old-fashionedly, Father Lin's loving and encouraging eyes obviously couldn't pass through the mist on the lenses to Lin Yu.
The assessment at the end of the year is the last class assessment, the importance is self-evident, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a watershed in life, and Lin Yu does not pay attention to it.
"Let's eat first. Mother Lin walked out of the kitchen, said softly, put the No. 1 meal containing hamburgers, sausages and fried eggs in front of Lin Yu, and raised her hand to rub Lin Yu's head, wanting to smooth Lin Yu's brows.
"Aren't all the students in Class 8 transferred from Class 1?" Mother Lin saw that her head rubbing had no effect, Lin Yu was still worried, and continued to speak: "Instead of being a phoenix tail in Class 1, it is better to be a chicken head in Class 8!"
"Yes, yes!" Lin Yu said perfunctorily, not caring about the messed hair, and was about to bite off the hamburger when he picked it up.
Your vehicle is being illegally invaded, do you call the police immediately? Lin Yu's brain suddenly sent out an alarm message.
"It's so early again!" Lin Yu complained in a low voice, put down the hamburger that had not reached the entrance again, opened the upper bread, and sandwiched the sausage and eggs into a super-sized burger.
"Ye Yi and Ding Ningcheng are here?" Looking at Lin Yu's actions, Lin Mu easily guessed the truth.
"Hmm!" Lin Yu responded, grabbed the big burger and got up, "Mom and Dad, I'll go to school first!"
Walking to the door, Lin Yu turned his head again and said to his parents: "Go out and pay attention to safety, and come back as soon as possible." ”
"Okay, no problem!" Father Lin readily agreed, and then said with relief: "Don't worry, when you three brothers and sisters were young, your father and I went out alone, and this time your mother will accompany me, and it will be fine!"
"Alright, alright, let's go to school!" Father Lin waved his hand, which was regarded as a farewell.
"Can you wait until I finish the assessment at the end of the year before leaving?" Lin Yu pleaded in a low voice, the eighteen-year-old was still more or less attached to his parents.
"We'll be back before the end of the year, and we won't miss your assessment. Father Lin's assured tone was not so sure, "Go quickly, don't keep your classmates waiting for a long time." ”
Lin Yu went out in a bad mood and walked all the way to the garage.
With Lin Yu's departure, the atmosphere at home slowly became solemn.
"Can you come back at the end of the year?" Lin Mu Jiang Yan asked in a low voice, but her eyes didn't look at Lin Yutang, more like talking to herself, "It's been more than twenty years, is it a mirage?"
"There is not enough information!" Lin Yutang seemed to lack the interest in chatting, and after finishing his words, he looked out the window and into the distance.
......
The early morning sun sprinkled Nandu, but unfortunately this sunlight was fake, emitted by the canopy that shrouded the earth, and could not provide any heat, only brightness.
A square car drove out of Xilingyu, the gravitational device around the vehicle was automatically turned on, and after the vehicle platform was raised to a height of 100 meters, the vehicle followed the previously planned guidance route, merged into the traffic flow, and headed towards Nandu No. 1 Middle School.
Traffic accidents have been extinct in Nandu for nearly 30 years, and the warning words of safety first on the road have long been forgotten.
Lin Yu's car was moving steadily in the air at an altitude of 100 meters, and the outer wall of the car slowly became transparent, revealing the three people sitting opposite each other in the car.
Lin Yu sat alone, opposite a woman and a man, and his two classmates.
The tomboy-like girl named Ye Yi is six layers of qi refining, with short hair, a plaid shirt on the top and a set of practice pants on the bottom, dressed a little casually, and is looking at the familiar scenery outside the window at the moment.
The man's name is Ding Ningcheng, with five layers of qi refining, long shawl hair, black and white, and a long red cloak, which looks a little evil, and at this moment he is ecstatic tasting the fried eggs brought out by Lin Yu, and the weird feeling is even stronger.
"Tsk, it tastes good!" The last bit of egg was in his stomach, Ding Ningcheng sighed with satisfaction, took out the cleaning liquid he carried, and carefully picked up his hands and mouths.
Lin Yu rubbed his hands, and looked at Ding Ningcheng, a patient with cleanliness addiction, with expectant eyes, it was worth it to exchange a fried egg for the information he needed.
"You're not going to open the valley?" Ye Yi was a little annoyed, and said angrily: "You just gave up?"
"I haven't eaten for two weeks, so I'm really hungry. After Ding Ningcheng generously admitted it, he looked at Lin Yu and said, "Lin Yu, I remember you said that your parents didn't have Bigu!"
"I didn't have a valley, at least I ate breakfast and dinner. Lin Yu responded.
"You see, it doesn't matter what this is. Ding Ningcheng suddenly became energetic, turned his head to look at Ye Yi, "I see, Bigu has no other role than weight loss." ”
"If you don't have self-control, you can't resist this temptation, no wonder your cultivation is slow. "Ye Yi is already a sixth-level cultivator of qi refining, but he has the capital to scare Ding Ning City, "What kind of cultivation are Lin Yu's parents, where are you going, how can it be compared." ”
"Stop, stop, I don't know what my parents are cultivating, and I don't care about Bigu, I just want to know what new news has been released in the past two days!" Lin Yu hurriedly stopped the argument between the two and brought the topic back on track.
"Just these two days?" Ding Ningcheng said as he took out a crystal mold and a box from the storage bag.
"Well, my parents suddenly said they were going out this morning, so something should have happened in the past two days. Lin Yu said.
Ding Ningcheng put the crystal mold on his eyes, and scanned it with the box upside down, and the messages were sent to Ding Ningcheng's brain through the box.
"With it, I'll look for ......it," Ding Ningcheng muttered while looking at the information that he had no permission to view on his brain, "The beast tide in the northern city is over, the Lingnan faction in the east of Landu is suspected to have collapsed, and the energy of the Tianmu space channel is abnormal, and it is estimated that it will be opened in advance......"
These messages are all about news outside the city, and only those who have graduated from middle school are eligible to inquire, and Ding Ningcheng, who is still two months away from graduating from middle school, has obtained the qualification to check through informal means.
"Unexplained misty area appears in the primeval snow forest under Makalu Peak in the southern part of Tibetan City, Kyoto City......"
"This message from the Tibetan city was sent to me. Lin Yu opened his mouth and said, his father said that he was going to find spiritual materials, so the newly emerging secret land danger was undoubtedly the best choice.
Ding Ningcheng packed a complete copy of the message sent by the Tibetan City and passed it to Lin Yu.
"The fog was detected on October 10 and is expanding outward by 1-2 km per day, currently about 30 km at its widest point and more than 20 km at its narrowest point, in an irregular elliptical shape, with a height of about 2 km.
The detection machines sent into the fog were all destroyed, and the nine members of the Z022703 team plus the instructor entered on October 16, and there is no news at all. A total of 16 people have been recorded, and there is no news at all. ”
"It seems to be very dangerous!" Lin Yu whispered with some anxiety, Zhi Brain began to try to connect with his parents, he wanted to try to persuade his parents to give up this trip again.
