I heard from children that human beings have evolved over generations to become like this.

They were born without feet.

At first too lazy to walk, use a car instead.

Later, I was too lazy to drive, so I drove with my mind.

Later, if you don't bother to go out, all the needs of human beings can be solved in one room.

Much later, humans felt that demand was the source of trouble.

So the genes were modified, and they also had infinite life.

Gradually, human beings were able to acquire knowledge without going to school, survive without working, and have children without getting married......

Communication is also unnecessary.

Speech and expression became a symbol of childishness.

This is true only for children – a sign that they are not yet fully developed.

Adults don't need to talk and think.

There is only one choice to make: awake or hibernated.

Two tracks with completely opposite directions.

Li Mengli stood on that track, listening to the children's gossip.

This common-sense knowledge is implanted in the brain from the moment children are born.

It's like birds fly.

Just like sugar is sweet.

The exact time of the end of the world, the children do not know, but they do know that today is March 6, 3766.

Li Mengli felt her brain buzzing, and it wasn't until the children told her what it meant to be awake and hibernate that she somewhat understood what it was all about.

"Sober" means going to work in [New Home], which is a tedious and repetitive job, burying the seeds of human research and development in the desert, watering and irrigating, every day.

[Dormancy] means to stay away from this apocalyptic world, not from the body, of course, but from consciousness.

Just like a dream, you can enter the [Life Cabin] and experience the simulated life.

One is real raw, boring and uninteresting.

One is a false death, full of unknowns.

No one will interfere with your choices, and everyone is free in the apocalypse.

Li Mengli looked down at the wheels that fit the track.

Freely?

Are you sure?

The children's words seemed to be very logical, but the more Li Mengli listened, the more they felt like they were made up.

Can a human leg evolve into an iron rod?

Can a human foot evolve into a wheel that fits perfectly into a track?

Even if it is genetically modified, why not let people grow wings and fly freely in the sky, but instead mosaic humans in orbits?

The world is probably problematic.

Hearing Mengli's questioning, the children closed the windows one after another.

The adult was thinking.

She's crazy.

Anyone who questions common sense is certainly a madman.

Li Mengli looked up, and there seemed to be more than a glass window between her and those children.

She was saddened.

The children, most of whom were one or two years old, were placed in these houses.

Without anyone to take care of them, they will grow on their own, and by the age of 16, they will be able to move from the track inside the house to the outside, and enter the choice of adulthood - awake or dormant.

In this world, 16 years old is adulthood.

It doesn't matter much, Li Mengli pondered, it seems that she chose [dormancy] in this world at the beginning, and only then did she get the right to experience life, but she had woken up just now, and she didn't know if she could go back to the café if she fell asleep again.

I hope the dream continues.

She loved everyone in the café.

Li Mengli didn't want to continue to stay in this weird real world, she immediately turned around and went back the way she came, remembering that she had always committed suicide before, and this awakening experience made her miss her life in the café very much.

Even if it's just a man-made virtual world.

To go back.

You have to go back quickly.

With Li Mengli's idea of accelerating, the wheels under her feet also began to rotate rapidly on the track.

After a while, she felt like she was about to go back to where she had been.

But the circular track in front of her made her stop suddenly, and the circular track was intricate, and she saw the text floating in front of her: The Wheel of Fortune.

She doesn't have to think about it, the performance of the people around her has already given the answer.

After entering the orbit of the Wheel of Fortune, people simply don't have time to think about which orbit they will enter.

The route after that is completely random.

Li Mengli didn't dare to move forward without permission, she reached out and grabbed a woman on the track next to her, not allowing her to continue to move forward.

The woman's empty eyes were open, and her arms stopped moving like a machine, and she could barely see that she wanted to break free from Li Mengli's "claws".

"Tell me what's going on up ahead." Li Mengli boldly became stronger, she learned from Roland's face and threatened the other party, "Otherwise, I won't let you go!" ”

"What's wrong with you?"

The other party is attacking Li Mengli with words, which should be translated: Are you sick?

But Li Mengli mistakenly thought that the other party had finally compromised, and she asked, "What's going on with the track ahead?" How do I get back to my old life pod? ”

The woman stalemate with her for a long time without saying a word, and finally had to say expressionlessly: "Enter the wheel of fortune and randomly assign space stations, each space station has a life module." ”

"And what about the track next to the wheel of fortune?" Li Mengli continued to ask, "Why isn't there a person on that track?" ”

"I don't know, no one knows."

"Then you're not curious, aren't you?" Li Mengli was surprised, how could the humans in this world seem to be fools?

Coincidentally, the woman also thought so about Li Mengli in her heart, and she asked rhetorically, "Why are you curious?" ”

Li Mengli let go of the woman, and saw that after the woman entered the [Wheel of Fortune], she was like a marble that was swept into a whirlwind, circling around, and finally she didn't know which track she was thrown on.

Looking at the unmanned track next to the [Wheel of Fortune], Li Mengli wanted to find out.

Last time I saw a group of children, maybe this time I will see women and old people?

Just as she was thinking, there seemed to be a huge magnet in the distance of the track, sucking her frantically over, and the wheels were bursting with sparks and crackling in all directions.

Li Mengli likes this feeling, and any fluctuation in her heart can make her feel that she is alive.

It didn't take long for her wheels to slow down, and in front of her there was a sky-blue crystal building, like a pyramid of blue crystals stacked on top of each other.

Through the open door, she enters the interior of the pyramid, a bright space, an astonishing expanse.

Humans dressed in uniform are everywhere, and unknown scientific instruments of all kinds.

"Friend, welcome to the [Life Cabin Background Management System]." A man stood on a high platform on the second floor and shouted to her, "You can come here, it means that you are a thinking human!" ”

"Is this the place to manage the life pod?" Li Mengli shouted at him.

"You're so smart! I will come down to receive you personally. The man's wheels began to speed up, and he turned into a room on the second floor, and soon came out of another room downstairs.

He wears a suit and leather shoes and a mustache, which is different from the clothing of the other staff.

He politely stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello lady, I am the seventh generation administrator of the [Life Cabin Background Management System], you can call me Luis." ”

Li Mengli shook hands with him to show friendship, after all, in this world, seeing human beings with expressions and willing to communicate is like seeing a fellow countryman, "Hello Luis, my name is Li Mengli." ”

"Ms. Mengli, do you have any demands when you come here?"

"I woke up and now I want to go back to my old life experience."

"I see what you mean." In fact, Louis obviously misunderstood, he thought that Li Mengli was the loser of the life cabin, and was expelled from the life cabin due to the lack of spirit coins.

"That's great, how can I go back?"
