Chapter 207: The Withered World Tree

The empty base of Doom was dark and deep, so quiet that no trace of life could be found, and no sound could be heard.

"Is this the underground base that people built after the sun went out?"

Zhou Wan stood on the balcony of a more than twenty-story building, holding Chen Ji's arm with one hand, and looked around curiously with a flashlight.

She had seen such a scene in her dreams, and she had also toured with Chen Ji in her dreams, but it was the first time she had actually seen it with her own eyes.

According to Da Zhou, the Haicheng Doomsday Base is located one thousand meters away, relying on the endless power of life ability crystallization to provide energy, the entire city is full of mutant mycelium, and there are maglev trains running in the air all the time.

But at this moment, Zhou Wan couldn't see any life.

Everything was quiet and pitch black.

"Hmm."

Chen Ji nodded, "The residential buildings are very close together, almost at the level of urban villages. The dormitory assigned to you is already one of the rooms with the best view in the city. ”

"After all, you gave 'me' a lot of merit points."

Zhou Wan smiled, pulled him back to the room, touched the furniture in the living room with her gloved hands, and sure enough, she felt a smoothie, proving that the moisture in the air had just condensed.

"It's amazing!"

Zhou Wan was very surprised, "The time of this entire city seems to have been frozen, and it has only changed when we arrive...... Why do you say? ”

The young female president of a company with a valuation of 50 billion in the main world now turned her head to look at her and asked with curiosity.

"I don't know, I can only rely on testing."

Chen Ji laughed.

"What about your guess?"

"You just guessed that time is frozen here? I disagree with you, I guess this place has just been created. ”

"Just created? A whole city?! ”

Zhou Wan showed a surprised look and glanced out of the balcony again.

Such a huge underground city had just been created when she and Chen Ji crossed over?

"The reason I guess is because of the last time I came with Shumin."

Chen Ji explained: "When she was in your wine storage room, she said that it was so dark, but a candlelit lantern appeared in the basement outside, and she said that she was hungry, and a cake appeared in your living room. ”

Zhou Wan frowned: "But I'm not her, it's impossible to say what I say...... You mean, the world has the ability to create things quickly? ”

She reacted and saw Chen Ji.

"Yes, at least the world can restore a building that has been blown up."

“…… Your guess makes sense~, better than mine. ”

Zhou Wan was persuaded by him.

It's not that time is beginning to flow, it's that this small world has just created the underground city.

"It's like the Big Bang!"

Zhou Wan followed Chen Ji's train of thought and continued: "The difference is that the Big Bang only produced elementary particles, which is disordered, and here ...... This city, however, is an underground city based on the other world in our memory, creating an orderly civilized city. ”

Chen Ji winked at her: "How is it, do you feel awkward to be read by memories?" ”

"Does this world have a will?" Zhou Wan asked rhetorically.

"If it says it is completely unconscious, I don't think it will do it, but if you compare the will of the world to a person, thinking like a human being, I don't think it's possible."

Chen Ji became an immortal in the martial arts world, and drove the dragon and phoenix to build the first fairy sword, which drove the will of heaven in disguise.

In addition, he also learned from Mu Xiaoxiao's mouth, and saw the Nine Domains Destiny with his own eyes, and from Astana, he knew that the Four Pillars of the Divine Grace Continent were born from the beginning.

Therefore, he has a certain understanding of the will of the world.

It has a consciousness of its own, but it does not think like a human.

"If that's all there is to it, that's acceptable."

Zhou Wan nodded slightly, "If the will of the world really thinks like a human being, and observes the memories of us living in the world, then I will feel awkward and disgusted."

These are just our guesses, though. ”

"It's easy to verify."

Chen Ji took her hand and walked out the door.

I didn't bring two bags of things, and left them in the room, these materials were originally intended to be handed over directly to Wang Shaodang and others, but now it is inconvenient to carry, so they can only be thrown in the room.

Zhou Wan guessed what he wanted to do, clasped his hand tightly, and used a flashlight to illuminate the front.

The two walked hand in hand like a couple.

The dark hallway is illuminated, and the hallway is no different from that in Doombase.

But then.

Chen Ji knocked on the door next door, and after confirming that no one was there, he opened the door.

The furniture inside is exactly the same as Da Zhou Wan's house.

Chen Ji went to another house on the same floor and opened the door.

"Doesn't seem to have changed?"

Zhou Wan looked inside and frowned slightly.

"Three bedrooms and one living room...... It is impossible not to change. ”

Chen Ji said firmly, pulled her in, and opened the bedroom door again.

Sure enough, it was a very small room, smaller than the average bathroom, as if it had been compressed out of thin air, which looked very weird.

"I see."

In the dark, a smile appeared on Zhou Wan's delicate cheeks illuminated by the light, "This house should not be a three-bedroom apartment, but a two-bedroom apartment. ”

"That's right!"

Chen Ji took her hand and walked to the balcony, "Let's go, let's go downstairs and have a look." ”

"Let's go up the stairs."

"It's okay, I can fly with you!"

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's to save some immortal power, what if I run out?"

Zhou Wan dragged him to the stairs, saying that it would take no effort to go downstairs, and he would soon be on the first floor.

In such a strange and strange world, Chen Ji, and the ability of the two of them, is the reason why she has the courage to stay here, if Chen Ji is not around, she doesn't want to stay for a minute.

"Like a thrifty little daughter-in-law, this should also be saved." Chen Ji muttered.

"What did you say?"

"No, I said you were so thoughtful!"

"Hmph."

Zhou Wan snorted lightly, stepped on snow boots to the stairs, and pulled Chen Ji down.

In the first few floors, everything was fine.

But after going down to the fifth or sixth floor, she turned a corner, and Zhou Wan's flashlight shone forward.

"Ahh

She exclaimed.

Ahead, the staircase, which should have been only about ten steps to turn, became very long, leading all the way to a dark place, as if leading to hell, which was extremely scary.

"Don't be afraid, go."

Chen Ji calmly pulled her to continue forward, Zhou Wan's legs were a little weak, pinched the flashlight and held his hand, and after walking forward for a distance, he found that the stairs were leading to the outside of the building, and it was dark outside, and the stairs to the next level disappeared.

"I'll give it a try."

Chen Ji didn't discuss with her this time, and used his immortal power to step on the stairs, and there was a rumbling sound, which was particularly harsh in the quiet underground doomsday base.

Fortunately, the next staircase was revealed.

The two continued.

After walking not far, the front was blocked by a wall, Chen Ji kicked it away and continued to go down.

Gradually, the shape of the staircase and the building became twisted and weird, the staircase connected the room, the sofa tucked into the wall, the refrigerator grew on the staircase, and the balcony led to the kitchen......

Ten minutes later.

"It's confirmed!"

Chen Ji and Zhou Wan stood on the street, let out a long breath, and said, "This world, or this doomsday base, is only created based on my and your superficial memories, except for Da Zhou Wan's room, everything else is empty...... It's like in a 3D game, the tall buildings are empty. ”

The Doomsday Base building in this small world is more than the buildings in the game.

It's completely forcibly created, only the outward is in line with the outside, and the inside is a mess.

Just now, Chen Ji and Zhou Wan saw a maglev train on the platform, and after entering, the train was only slightly icy, and everything was intact.

But Chen Ji went to the train cab to take a look, and sure enough, it was a mess inside, there were no instruments at all, let alone an engine or anything like that.

The reason is that Chen Ji and Zhou Wan have been in a maglev car, but they have not been to the cab to see it.

"The whole city, it seems."

Zhou Wan said: "There is only a general shape, no more details...... Luckily, you and I took the train to the ground instead of the elevator. ”

She showed a bright smile at Chen Ji.

This is a delicate statement.

Chen Ji is on the train with Da Zhou Wan, but the current Xiao Zhou Wan is said to be herself.

Chen Ji didn't know if she felt it subconsciously, or for other reasons, he didn't ask, at least now she is Xiao Zhouwan.

Other than that.

What Zhou Wan meant in Zhou Wan's words was that the two of them were taking a train from the tunnel to the ground, and according to the previous conclusion, there should also be a tunnel to the ground.

If you take the elevator to go up directly, and there is no electricity here, and there are no facilities such as engines, if you want to go up to the ground, you can only take Chen Ji to fly.

"Don't look at it?"

Chen Ji asked her.

"If you don't look at it, it should be similar elsewhere." Zhou Wan looked around, "It's pitch black, and the tunnel you left is not easy to find." What about her? Ready to get your car ready? ”

When the two were exploring, Chen Ji had already told Da Zhou Wan about these things, and Zhou Wan proposed at that time to ask her to find a car to send over.

"It should be soon."

The two stood in the empty street and waited.

A few minutes later, the car arrived.

A BMW X5 appeared in front of Chen Ji, and Zhou Wan recognized it at a glance, this was the car that Aunt Liu usually went grocery shopping.

"Time is pressing, you should use this one first."

Da Zhou Wan sent a message, "Is there anything else you need?" If not, I'm going out and going to the company. ”

"Not for now, you're going to negotiate a contract? Actually, you don't have to be that tired. ”

"Let her go."

Zhou Wan pulled Chen Ji into the car, did not explain to him why he asked Da Zhou Wan to negotiate the contract, and said: "Let's go out and see if this place is located on the outskirts of Haicheng, and if we can find those people from the rivers and lakes before." ”

She is not impressed by the Jianghu people from the martial arts world, and only remembers the name.

"Don't worry, let's go to another place, maybe we will get something."

Chen Ji started the car, and the headlights illuminated the street very brightly, and the pillar of light ran through the small half of the city, making it a little more lively here.

"You mean...... World Tree? ”

Zhou Wan guessed it at once.

Soon, the two arrived at the research center in the center of the Doom Base.

It was also empty, and Chen Ji took Zhou Wan to a garden inside the research center.

There are no flowers and trees in the garden, only a withered tree stands in the middle of the dirt floor, and when the lights shine, the branches crisscross the trees to give people a heavy sense of death, as if the world has died, and there is no life left.

In fact, there was almost no life in this small space of the Four Realms, only mutated creatures fighting in Haicheng.

The "World Tree" in front of you is the only big tree in this world.

"Is it a twig?"

Chen Ji stepped forward and broke off a section of the branch, allowing Zhou Wan to illuminate it with a flashlight to see the texture of the branch.

"It's like a twig!"

Zhou Wan raised her head and looked at Chen Ji.

In this small world, the withered World Tree in front of you is already a unique place where a little bit of life exists.

"Well, it does."

Chen Ji wanted to throw away the branch, but changed his mind and put the branch in his pocket, and after thinking about it, Zhou Wan also went to break off a section and put it in his arms.

Let's take it as a souvenir of this trip around the world.

Chen Ji took out his mobile phone and, as at the beginning, sent a message to the Divine Descendant Holy Maiden of the Divine Grace Continent:

"Astana, are you there?"

In the Church of the Creator, the goddess of starlight, who was praying, suddenly opened her eyes and looked up at the dome in surprise: "God, believers who love you forever answer your call." ”

Since the last time, Astana's prayers to him have quietly changed a bit.

Always love you, always be with you, always serve you, and be willing to do anything for you......

Chen Ji's face turned red when he heard this.

"Ahem, it's nothing, I'll tell you something."

After telling Astana a briefly, Chen Ji looked up at Zhou Wan and saw her looking at his phone with strange eyes.

"Zhou Wan, in fact, ......"

"Astana is always in love with the Great Creator...... Good meat. ”

"This, I can explain!"

"Why explain?"

Zhou Wan pushed Chen Ji in embarrassment, and pouted at his mobile phone, "Your devout elf believer has sent you a message again, hurry up and reply to her." ”

Chen Ji inexplicably smelled a sour smell after the vinegar jar was overturned.

Delusion?

No, Astana is not an elf, the elf is the other seven.

But he didn't dare say it.

……

Unfortunately, Astana's communication with him did not lead to anything, everything was normal, and it is not known whether the World Tree withered or was empty and unchanged.

"Let's go."

Chen Ji took Zhou Wan's hand again and returned to the car with her.

There is nothing to see about this doomsday base, Chen Ji stepped on the accelerator, looked around the city for the tunnel to leave, and finally found the exit according to the approximate direction in his last memory.

The tunnel is spacious enough to drive, and Chen Ji carried Zhou Wan all the way up, and it took less than half an hour to reach the ground.

The cold and snow were blowing in the face, and the sky was dimly lit, and there was no sun, no moon, and no stars.

But on the contrary, it proves that this is still a small space in the Four Realms, and it is the place where the sky lit up after the little lady shouted "Let there be sunshine" last time.

"This is indeed the entrance to the Doomsday Base of the Sea Market, yes."

Chen Ji said to Zhou Wan in the passenger seat.

"I remember here."

Zhou Wan looked out the window: "You brought us here last time, but there was nothing here at that time, but now there are holes and platforms...... I don't know if those Jianghu people are there? ”

"Just check it out!"

Chen Ji drove the BMW car and walked all the way.

More than an hour later, I came to the vicinity of Zhou Wan's villa.

"It's here, someone!"

Zhou Wan saw that there were footprints on the road, and the road was cleaner than other places, so she surmised that there were people here.

Chen Ji drove the car into the villa community, pressed the horn, and let the sound spread all around.

Soon, there were voices in the villa complex.

"Who?!"

"Who's driving here?"

"Isn't it Chen Gongzi?!"

"Hey, it's him, it's Chen Gongzi, Chen Gongzi is here!!"

"Hurry up, come out to greet Chen Gongzi!"

"Brother Chen, did you bring wine?"

A group of Jianghu people wearing thick robes, sloppy, but all armed with swords and swords, after confirming that it was Chen Ji sitting in the car, immediately cheered up, and shouted that the people in the villa hurriedly came out to greet them.

"Wine? Of course! ”

Chen Ji smiled at them from the car window and said, "Drink as much as you want tonight, and there will be wine soon!" ”

"Really?! Thank you Gongzi Chen! ”

"Hahaha has wine, Chen Gongzi really knows what he says!"

Looking at them cheering and laughing, Zhou Wan couldn't help but smile in her eyes.

It's not that she was happy to see the people in the rivers and lakes, but the arrival of Chen Ji and her made these people trapped in the small world here see hope, and the joy on their faces infected her.

The scene of Chen Ji's arrival seemed to remind her of the difficult days when she was trapped in the basement, with darkness, cold, and hunger enveloping her.

At that time, it was also Chen Ji who gave her food and water......

Oh no, it's for Da Zhou Wan.

But it doesn't matter, she is also Zhou Wan, and Chen Ji is also Chen Ji, isn't it?
