Two days later, Huai Shi heard the sound of thunder again.

This time, after two days, the distant roar was getting closer and closer, and it was already lingering in my ears. But when Huai Shi looked up, he couldn't see the clouds.

Strictly speaking, he saw the clouds and was right.

But I always felt that something was wrong.

The pitch-black cloud seemed to be a layer that had been adjusted in the PS software, so vaguely flashed above the sky, and then quickly disappeared.

Reflections from a mirage.

These days, as Huai's poems go deeper and deeper, such visions become more and more frequent, and even in addition to phantoms, there are also phenomena that interfere with reality.

During the daylight yesterday, Huai Shi was awakened from a dream by the sound of an engine.

When he opened his eyes and climbed out of the tent, he saw a highway appear in front of him, stretching from the end of the hot desert to the looming city in the distance.

Cars sped away like that.

But soon, as if sensing Huaishi's prying eyes, the highway quickly disappeared again, taking the city in the distance, leaving only a broken off-road vehicle parked on an abandoned and broken road.

It has been mostly buried by gravel.

And before Huai Shi slept, it was completely empty, there was nothing.

"What the hell is this?"

Huai Shi scratched her head, watching the illusion of the disappearing thunderclouds flashing in the sky again, and couldn't figure out what was going on.

There is nothing wrong with this clearly being the present situation.

The depth is unusually stable.

There are no signs of hellishness, but why do things happen so often?

"It's hard to say, after all, anything can happen here......

The crow falling from the sky stepped on Huai Shi's shoulder: "Climb over the sand dunes in front of you, and you should be able to see it." ”

Huai Shi raised her head blankly, stared at the seemingly towering sand dunes next to her, shook her head, put down her backpack, tied the rope, and began to climb up with difficulty.

If you have a solid foothold, it doesn't take any effort to climb like this, right?

But if you want to walk smoothly on the sand dunes and avoid dangerous quicksand and other things buried underneath, you can only use the trick from Yu Bu to forcibly spread your weight on the sand at every moment.

It's not difficult, but it's cumbersome.

Every step takes a lot of effort.

And after Huai Shi climbed the sand dune, she couldn't help but gasp several times and was dumbfounded.

I even forgot to pull the backpack underneath again.

In front of him, where the apparition of the city had been the other day, he finally saw the ruins that had remained.

Battered, ruined, and ravaged by conservative wars, it is still possible to distinguish between broken tanks and bombers, as well as the flags of Egypt and the Americas, and even the silhouettes of what once high-rise buildings remain.

These are not buried in the sand, because ......

Huai Shi rubbed her eyes, and finally made sure that what she was seeing was not an illusion.

All this in front of you...... All suspended in mid-air.

The whole city seemed to be picked up roughly, slammed to the ground, and then froze in the moment of falling apart.

The wounds of the past are sealed away in this amber-like way.

Today, the once-massive ruins hang high, rolling slowly in the night wind. It's like being immersed in seawater, with weightless ups and downs.

Gravity is out of place here.

Huai Shi turned around, pulled up his backpack, took out an empty can from it, and then poured it with sand and threw it forward vigorously.

After flying more than 100 meters, the flying cans came to an abrupt halt.

Hovering in the air.

Even the sand that spilled out of the mouth of the jar maintained its spreading shape and stagnated.

Even the time is abnormal.

Huai Shi swallowed and foamed.

"What the hell is this?"

"BUG, haven't you seen it?" the crow calmly combed his feathers and said calmly: "This is the biggest problem in Australia, not dry, not barren, but a problem that even the astronomical society can't solve...... No, I should say, those guys did it on purpose. ”

Huai Shi was incredulous: "Is the Zarathustra Mi out of control?"

"No, in fact, the main task of the existence of the Astronomical Society is to ensure the operation of the three blockades, even if it consumes more than 30 percent of the world's material resources every year, it is necessary to maintain the normal operation of the three blockades. ”

The crow replied, "But in Australia, things have changed somewhat...... This whole continent is a buffer zone for Zarathustra, you know?

As the severance of all secret rites and the ushering of a new era, Zarathustra is itself a being made up of hundreds of frames of the Creator, and it has great power to replace the gods.

In addition to the eternal realm in the core, which preserves the axis of the world, there are also four levels named after the definition in alchemy: activity, formation, creation, and outflow.

Further down, there are seven stages, thirty-six days, ninety-one districts, and thousands of modules, all of which have their own functions and unique significance. Among them, the laws and data derived from each moment are innumerable......

With such a large system and such a complex existence, it is absolutely impossible to be absolutely flawless within it, and there are bound to be some difficult parts to deal with.

Too many of those bugs, bugs, and loops can cause the Zarathustra Crypt to overflow, resulting in fatal voids...... It's like a computer. ”

The crow suddenly asked, "What should I do if the C plate is full?"

"Reloaded?" Huai Shi replied subconsciously, and immediately gasped.

"That's right, reload. ”

The crow replied calmly: "Isolate the present world, create a partition that holds important information, and then completely sink the present and let it sink into the abyss...... And then on top of that, a new state of existence is established.

The vast majority of people may not even have any experience, but when their eyes are closed and blinked, the old hen becomes a duck, and the world is completely new...... This is the plan to destroy the world that circulated in the gossip within the Astronomical Society, Huai Shi.

Every few hundred years, once or twice, hey. ”

She chuckled softly and didn't say anything more.

"That'...... Australia?"

"Australia is a buffer zone that is prepared in advance to avoid frequent reloading of the cipher.

After being turned into a no-man's land by the Russian Federation and the Americas, it is estimated that there are no more people anyway, so they simply use it...... Of course, in addition to this, there is also the fate of being a consumable at the necessary moment, but these are no longer relevant to you.

After all, this is the present situation, no matter how bad it is, there will be no chaos. After a brief pause, the crow casually dropped another huge bomb: "After all, in order to ensure the stability of the buffer zone, the Survival Institute has moved its headquarters here, and there will definitely be no accidents." ”

"What's that?!"

Huai Shi was so shocked that she almost jumped.

"Survival, Survival, Headquarters, here?"

Where is the legendary existence, and the headquarters of the Survival Academy, which is itself extremely secret, is actually here?

Huai Shi feels that if it spreads, her perverted mother fans will be shocked for a whole year.

"It's not all the fuss, is it?" the raven glanced at him in confusion, "We came by their door two days ago...... Didn't you pee on the cactus at the time?"

Huai Shi's face turned pale in an instant: "Why aren't you telling me!"

"It doesn't make sense to tell you. ”

The crow shook his head: "It's just a projection here, and the physical coordinates of their headquarters exist here, but it doesn't mean that this is the exit."

The entire Survival Courtyard is hidden by overhead technology, and they exist in the present, the border, and the abyss at the same time, and the roads lead in all directions.

If they don't want you to see them, you won't even see a single hair of them at the door.

Relax, silly boy, just take a walk in front of the agency, and even if you are seen, what will you do? Will there be a sniper aiming at your head?"

Huai Shi's expression twitched.

I finally understood what was going on with my back chills from time to time in the first two days.

That's the House of Survival!

The Survival Academy, which holds the secret institution that seals the ghost stuff for an unknown number of things, will increase the distortion of the entire current realm by 60% once the door is opened!

Among the three major institutions of the original Astronomical Society, the Ideal Country, the Governing Bureau, and the Survival Yuan each had their own division of labor.

If we summarize the impact in terms of impact, then the role of the ideal state is to pursue more corrections, and the Governing Bureau is responsible for following closely and maintaining the situation to ensure that this gain is not lost. The last surviving house is responsible for reducing the distortion of the entire current situation and eliminating hidden dangers for the whole world.

Because of this, the Ideal Congress is seen as radical, the Registrar is seen as pedantic and conservative, and the Survival House hides itself in secrecy, mostly without a sense of existence.

They rarely cooperate with the Governing Directorate and spend most of the time working alone.

And when they appear, the location is often deserted.

If the situation is judged to be dangerous, the entire area can be completely packed and taken away...... Then find a convenient place and burn it to the ground, and completely remove it from the present situation.

As soon as she thought of swaggering past the gate of such a dangerous department, Huai Shi felt her legs tremble.

"Don't worry, it's the door, but it's actually dozens of depths away from the real location of the Survival Hospital, and the Survival House is not such a simple place. ”

The crow waved his wings calmly: "If you are expected to worry about those things, you might as well worry about the present." ”

"Huh?"

Huai Shi was at a loss.

Following her gaze, the boy looked at the sky with dark clouds rolling in the distance: "Isn't that a hallucination?"

"While I once suspected that this was the result of some anomalous mechanism, I just took a closer look...... It's as if all you've been seeing is a mirage, an anomaly in the desert. ”

"So what?" asked Huai Shi.

"Since it's a mirage, it proves that it's an optical refraction phenomenon...... You don't need me to repeat the physics book to you, do you?"

The crow paused for a moment and said helplessly: "In other words, thunderclouds are real, and they have been accumulating and growing, merging into a super-large natural disaster that is enough to flood the entire desert in the abnormal air flow and temperature of Australia. ”

"And then?" Huai Shi nodded.

"And then, it's now over your head. The crow raised its wings, looked at the feathers wet with thick moisture, and nodded, "It should start in a while...... So, what are you doing in a daze?"

"Run, silly!"

The raven screamed in his ear:

"—The storm is coming!!"
