Chapter 185: Civilized Order
Underground Doomsday City.
Boiling green hot water flows between cities, on both sides of roads, parks, municipal facilities, etc., you can see the hot water flowing everywhere, and a large number of steel pipes crisscross it, standing 100 meters high in this huge underground space.
Chen Ji took a cursory glance and saw that there were very few private vehicles in the Doomsday Underground City, replaced by a fast-moving enclosed transparent maglev train.
Hundreds of train tracks weave over the city, and people live not only in the city above ground, but also in annex rooms carved out of the walls of the sky, with a layout that resembles a beehive.
"Brother, brother, did you send that light just now?"
"Brother, isn't it light?"
"My brother's ability is so powerful, I want to be so powerful when I grow up, and defeat the mutant monster at once!"
A large group of children rushed over, asking all kinds of questions excitedly around Chen Ji, and they all saw and felt the warm light.
Chen Ji looked at the smiling faces of this group of children, these people were all students in the second and third grades of primary school, they were only five or six years old more than three years ago, and the concept of the end of the world was not very clear in their minds.
They experienced the chaos after the sun went out, followed their parents into the settlement, and struggled for more than a year before finally moving into this well-built post-apocalyptic underground city.
After arriving in a stable and safe place, they began to go to school and grow up in an unprecedented apocalyptic environment:
This group of children is the generation that has grown up after the apocalypse.
"Brother Chen Ji~~"
An immature girl ran over with a flower ball for cheerleaders, shook the flower ball in front of Chen Ji, and showed a sweet smile: "Welcome Brother Chen Ji to the Doomsday Base in Haishi!" ”
The girl wore short sleeves in a ponytail, revealing her slender and white arms, full of youth and vitality.
She is Wang Yitong, who came down first, and is also studying in the underground city, according to the pre-doomsday calculation, she has just entered the fifth grade of primary school, but after the apocalypse, she seems to be in junior high school, because Chen Ji saw that she was wearing the same school uniform as some older children.
In addition, the official name of the Underground City is the Doomsday Base of the Sea City.
"Tongtong, are you in junior high school?"
After meeting with a group of children and answering some of their questions, Chen Ji asked Wang Yitong, and got a positive answer from the girl who nodded vigorously, and she also puffed up her chest proudly, saying that she was no longer a little girl, but a girl in junior high school.
Zhou Wan, who was standing beside Chen Ji, chuckled: "After the apocalypse, many things have changed, and today's children only study until they are eighteen years old...... The pressure is greater than before the apocalypse, but it's much better than when I was in the settlement. ”
Chen Ji can understand.
After the end of the world, resources are scarce, and there is no way to slowly raise a child, so this is the only way to do it.
He asked Wang Yitong and the group of children some questions, and learned that they had courses related to abilities, mutated creatures, and combat in the school, and if they awakened their abilities, their test scores could be lowered appropriately.
It's similar to a sports and art student.
"Yitong, this kid studies very hard."
One teacher complimented, "She was at the top of every exam, and her wish-making ability was also very powerful, and there were many research labs and combat squads that needed her ability before she even entered high school." ”
"So powerful?"
Chen Ji smiled and looked at the girl in front of him.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's not as good as Brother Chen Ji and Sister Zhou Wan, hehe...... It's a pity that the little lady is not there. ”
Wang Yitong smiled a little shyly, and regretted that he didn't see Mu Xiaoxiao.
"So far, Yitong's wishing ability is also unique in the world, and there are too many occasions where it can play a role."
Gao Liqun on the side added.
Chen Ji looked at Wang Yitong thoughtfully, and turned his head to look at Huang Yuwen: "What about your driving ability?" ”
"Ugh."
Huang Yuwen scratched his head, "Mine is not, there are at least hundreds of similar ones in the world...... But Brother Chen, we are definitely the king of the drag racing industry, and we have lived up to Brother Chen and the captain's expectations of me! ”
"What do I expect from you? Nothing. Chen Ji couldn't cry or laugh.
"No, don't, Brother Chen, think about it, when you came out of Xiangshan Villa, all of them were stained with Brother Chen's light and became superpowers, and they are all very powerful, this is all the credit of Brother Chen!"
Huang Yuwen slapped Chen Ji's ass.
When he was in the villa, he was amazed by the abilities of Chen Ji and Zhou Wan.
Now that three years have passed, and after he knows more things, his awe and worship of Chen Ji have become stronger.
Every time Brother Chen appears, he will definitely do something big!
"Fragrant Hills Villa."
Gao Liqun and several leaders glanced at each other.
The people who came out of the villa at the beginning have now become powerful abilities.
For example, Wang Caicheng, he is now an SS-level ability, and his ability is also a very rare special defense line ability, with a strong ability to carry blows, and after entering the S-level, he can unfold a force field similar to a protective shield, the shield does not disappear, and all attacks cannot hurt the people inside.
It's not just them.
The transport team that Chen Ji and Zhou Wan encountered at the beginning, the subway settlement they came into contact with for the first time, and the people who were illuminated by the sun's light ball, there were many powerful and rare abilities.
Gao Liqun and others also suspected that there was something special about Xiangshan Villa, and they specially sent people to live there for some time.
It's a pity that nothing happened.
Proof of this special influence is from Chen Ji, Zhou Wan, and Mu Xiaoxiao.
Inferred from the follow-up performance, there is a high probability that it is from Chen Ji.
"What about the World Tree?"
After sending the children away, Chen Ji deliberately left Wang Yitong and looked at the center of the city.
Zhou Wan has been paying attention to him, and she also knows his character very well, and after seeing him like this, she immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”
“…… I'll tell you later. ”
Chen Ji didn't answer her well.
After descending from the elevator to this apocalyptic underground city, he sensed something in the city, and he could sense something without the light of the solar realm.
"That world...... No, the mutant plant is in the research center, Mr. Chen Ji, do you want to go and see it? ”
Gao Liqun changed his words and did not call it the World Tree, as if he was afraid that this name would be too loud and coveted again.
"Then let's go check it out."
Chen Ji nodded and looked at the city: "Take a visit on the way." ”
"Okay, Mr. Chen Ji, please."
Gao Liqun made a gesture.
The maglev rail car has stopped on the platform not far away, Chen Ji and Zhou Wan got on the train, and Wang Yitong and Huang Yuwen also followed.
This car is supposed to be a special train, and it is quite spacious, with a meeting room and a place to rest.
"Thanks to Mr. Chen Ji, you gave us the dark iron alloy."
Gao Liqun said with a smile: "With the black iron alloy, the superconductor at room temperature can support the maglev train, and it is the strength and various properties of the new alloy that allow the city to be built!" ”
"That's what you've done."
Chen Ji said.
The extraterrestrial Xuantie of the martial arts world, after coming to the doomsday world, has played a magical role and greatly changed the world.
"I still have to thank Mr. Chen Ji!"
Another leader also opened his mouth, his tone was very polite, and of course his gratitude was also sincere.
"In the future, the leaders will call me Chen Ji."
After Chen Ji chatted with them for a few words, the maglev train started and started very smoothly, and the body shook at all.
Zhou Wan was not very familiar with this place, so she looked out the window with him.
The apocalyptic city located underground is different from ordinary cities, there are almost no low-rise houses here, all of them are high-rise buildings, and they are very crowded and somewhat oppressive.
Chen Ji roughly estimated that there are estimated tens of millions of people living here, and according to Gao Liqun's introduction, in addition to the city in front of him, there is also a spare sub-city, which also houses many people.
In addition, the Doomsday Base has dug out spaces everywhere for planting crops, and the food grown underground is much better than the one on the ground that is illuminated by the Doomsday Sun, and the closer to the underground heat source, the better the food and vegetables.
But the cost is very high, and merit points are required to redeem, so most ordinary people can only change it once or twice a month to eat.
"Why is the water here green? What's in there? ”
Chen Ji asked this question.
The entire underground city is filled with boiling hot water, which seems to be constantly exchanging heat and cold with the ground, maintaining the temperature of the upper part of the Doomsday Base.
"This is the raw material for the power plant!"
Zhou Wan replied to Chen Ji with a smile.
"Power plant? All this green water? ”
Chen Ji was surprised to look out the window at the green water in a park lake, there were some people walking in the park, they were used to the green lake, and they didn't pay attention to it.
"This is what you said about biopower plants, right?"
Chen Ji thought about it, "But why is it stocked like this?" ”
Relying on the crystallization of life ability, the researchers of Haishi developed a biological engine, the specific principle Chen Ji did not know, only knew that the power was mainly derived from the crystallization of ability.
"Mutant hyphae can only remain quiet under the gaze of humans."
Zhou Wan explained to him that after she came back, she had already made up a lot of knowledge.
The so-called mutated mycelium is a kind of fungus that is born by relying on the crystallization of abnormal energy, and its energy source is constantly multiplied, and after passing through a series of devices, their strong reproductive ability will become a power source for power generation.
But there is one of the biggest problems that has plagued researchers since the mutated hyphae were created.
That is, their ability to reproduce is so strong that if they are not careful, they can quickly mutate into gigantic individuals and have the ability to think, so they can be malicious towards humans.
The creatures that spawn from the crystallization of life abilities are inherently mutated creatures, and they cannot be purified, only killed.
Later, after studying the information about the evil god left by Zhou Wan, a researcher deduced a very important conclusion:
"Fight chaos with order, fight darkness with civilization!"
Gao Liqun said with emotion: "From Chen Ji, we know the existence of the evil god of Chaos Shadow, and we have also tried to promote the belief in Buddhism and Taoism, but with little success.
It was only later that it was discovered that the orderly collective life of mankind is the basis for the fight against this evil force! ”
"Human social order, against the power of evil gods?"
Chen Ji immediately thought of Astana.
In the Divine Grace Continent, firm faith is the most important means of resisting evil gods.
And strong faith comes from the believer's mental depiction of the kingdom of the gods.
Kingdom of the Gods...... Also an order?
Zhou Wan said to him: "We had a guess before, the dark flower on the sun is afraid of the earth and cannot directly kill humans, at that time we couldn't guess the reason, now it seems that it should be the power of civilization and order that human society has, which has affected that huge flower, so that it cannot directly descend on the earth." ”
"Is that so?"
Chen Ji fell into deep thought.
Is the human civilization on earth an important means to fight against evil gods?
What about the Divine Grace Continent?
Chen Ji turned his gaze to the green water in the Doomsday Base, these waters contain mutated mycelium that can generate electricity, they must be scattered in all corners of the city, suppressed by the civilization created by humans, and watched by people, these mutated mycelium will not be affected by the dark aura, causing crazy evolution into an evil existence.
"So, the Doom Base is the foundation of human existence?"
Chen Ji looked at Gao Liqun, who nodded proudly: "That's right, even the craziest supernatural beings will not come to attack the Doomsday Base, unless they have completely lost their minds and believe in the Dark God instead...... Or go along with the king-level mutant creatures. ”
"Dark God?"
"It is the name of the Dark Doomsday Society, which is a god who has changed the dark flower that grew in the sun into a humanoid god and worships it towards the dim sun...... There are believers in the Dark Doomsday Society all over the world, and they are a group of very troublesome existences. ”
Gao Liqun didn't explain too much, it should be unclear in three words.
Chen Ji can understand.
There were many organizations that believed in this and that before the end of the world, and it is strange that there will be no similar organizations after the end of the world.
Zhou Wan didn't know much about these either, she only knew that the group of people regarded the dark petals that fell on the earth as holy relics, and they chattered all day long, and they just saw them killed.
The maglev train traveled all the way over the city, and Chen Ji knew the city almost well, and when he signaled that he could go to see the World Tree, the train accelerated and soon came to the center of the city.
The Research Center for the Doomsday Base is located here.
Chen Ji and Zhou Wan walked in, and in a garden full of flowers and green grass, they saw the World Tree that shimmered and appeared to be leafy.
As if knowing that Chen Ji was coming, the World Tree, which was more than ten meters high, shook its branches slightly, and the leaves made a rattling sound.
"Huh?!"
Gao Liqun was very surprised, and immediately asked the guards around him: "When did it grow fruit?!" I didn't see it bloom the last time I came! ”
"Hahaha."
Director Zhao of the research center, no, it should be Director Zhao Zhengliang, laughed out loud, and patted Chen Ji on the shoulder: "Isn't it thanks to our light and heat powerhouse?" As soon as Chen Ji returned, the Sun Realm appeared, and the tree he had given us immediately blossomed and quickly bore fruit! ”
Zhou Wan, who was standing beside Chen Ji, turned her head to look at him with a smile.
It was also after she came back that she realized how important the World Tree brought by Chen Ji was to the apocalyptic world.
At that time, when Chen Ji brought it over, the World Tree only had a leaf, and the rhizome had just grown.
But three years later, it has become the "ancestor" of new crops in the world.
All grains and vegetables that can resist the cold, including those Starlight Seeds, must use the power of the World Tree, and the seeds can be planted together with the leaves of the World Tree, or planted under the World Tree, to be cultivated.
"The leaves are so powerful, what about the fruits?"
Everyone looked at Chen Ji together.
These changes are also brought about by him!
"Wait, I'll send a message to someone."
Chen Ji took out his mobile phone, stood under the World Tree that grew from the apocalyptic world, and sent a message to the Divine Descendant Holy Maiden.
"Astana, I see the World Tree."
Chen Ji picked up his mobile phone, took a photo of the World Tree, and chose to send it.
Words and images travel through the void and descend into the souls of the goddess of the astral order who is leading the believers in prayer.
"God!"
Under the gaze of many believers, Astana showed a soft and holy expression, and looked up at the dome of the church, as if looking at God.
She couldn't see anything before.
But this time.
Her gaze was pulled by a divine and great force that crossed the World Barrier, allowing her to see the third World Tree.
And, seeing the great and merciful God standing under the World Tree.
God was smiling and talking to her.
It's just that there is another beautiful woman beside God.
"Is she ......?"
Astana said subconsciously.
Her voice reached the apocalyptic world and reached Zhou Wan's ears.
A holy and beautiful woman's phantom appeared on the shining World Tree, and Zhou Wan raised her head and met her eyes.
"Are you...... Astana? ”
Zhou Wan recognized her.
The Holy Maiden of the Divine Descent was stunned.
Because she didn't know the woman who was with God.
