Sporadic crows passed silently.

Above the wilderness is boundless desolation.

Not to mention it in the city, even if it is far from the ruins of the city.

There is still no life in the wild.

Humans are not the only species that have been harmed by disasters.

The slaughter of abyssal monsters is indiscriminate.

Many lives in nature have protected humans from a great deal of danger.

Most of the world's absence of human beings is quiet, and it will take a long time for nature to return to its former state.

A series of possible consequences caused by the disruption of the ecological and environmental balance.

It hasn't come yet.

But it's already imminent.

Thinking about it, Wu Changwei shook his head.

Don't think much about it anymore.

Although he has a Ph.D. in biology and sociology, he likes to study some kind of balance and connection that exists in human beings or in nature.

But humans are probably not in the mood to think so much about it now, and the news he has learned from other people along the way has made him understand this.

Survival, adaptation and reconstruction.

It is the main theme of this post-order era.

What Wu Changwei has to do now is to adapt to this strange world.

Feel the military truck, which is already less bumpy.

He vaguely knew that the survivor base in Liaohai City should not be far away.

I haven't seen anyone else outside of their convoy yet.

However, the surrounding road conditions are obviously better.

This is obviously cleaned and maintained by special personnel.

This means that this section of the road is often used, which means that it is close to human settlements.

Look out at everything.

He couldn't help but lose his mind.

It's been more than two days since I came out of the dark laboratory.

He still feels a little dreamy.

Fifteen hellish days are over, and that life in the dark is over.

And the rescue that the three life-saving benefactors said before leaving did arrive in time within two days.

Or rather, to be precise.

It's less than a day.

It was also a group of soldiers.

They claimed to be soldiers from the survivor base in Liaohai City.

Fortunately, Wu Changwei, as a brave man who asked "what year is tonight", naturally became the leader of their twelve survivors.

He decisively took everyone to find some supplies, cleaned himself up in time, and recuperated under the blue sky and white clouds for a period of time by the way.

There was no stinking face to the group that came to pick them up.

After that, it's pretty simple.

Although their faces were still very dry, the people who were in a better state of mind waited for the convoy of military trucks that came to the rescue.

The military truck was delayed for most of the day, loaded it with some important supplies, and took them on their way home.

This efficiency is already very satisfying.

Wu Changwei understood that the five military trucks that came at once were obviously not as simple as saving their twelve survivors.

At least not empty-handed.

Running that far wastes a lot of precious fuel.

In today's world.

Apparently a bit of a loss.

A massive convoy of five vehicles came to their rescue, targeting more than just the twelve survivors who had been trapped in the basement for a long time.

The resources in the cities where the survivors live have not been addressed because of various plans for post-disaster reconstruction.

At this moment, it is easy to scavenge it.

Afterwards.

It's a few more survivors in every car stuffed with supplies.

The group set foot on the road to the survivor base in Liaohai City.

Suddenly.

A neat field came into view, waking up Wu Changwei, who was wandering.

He looked around.

I saw a large area of freshly cultivated fields neatly in front of my eyes.

Wu Changwei immediately understood.

He is probably close to the border of the survivor base in Liaohai City.

After all, in this day and age.

Even if he hadn't experienced it himself, he could have some conjectures based on his professional ability.

This large-scale cultivation of fields is developed.

It must be the top priority of post-disaster reconstruction.

Even after so many deaths, there is no shortage of food now.

But in order to prevent the recurrence of disasters, in order not to sit on the empty side, in order to rebuild a self-sufficient food system, in order to satisfy the desire of the people of the people to farm......

for a number of important reasons.

Farming is inevitable.

And in Liaohai Province, the whole vast land is suitable for the development of planting industry.

For something of this importance, the first sites to be carved out won't be too far from the survivor base.

After all, it is necessary to consider the convenience of care and protection.

So......

With a hint of anticipation, Wu Changwei poked his head out of the window.

Try to look in the direction the convoy is heading.

Faintly, he saw a long barbed wire fence and soldiers standing guard.

Although this is not very protective

But there is a high probability that there will be a large buffer area and a line of defense in the future.

This setting can play a sufficient role in early warning and buffering, so this line of defense can be said to be the outermost area of the survivor base in Liaohai City!

After the convoy arrived at the defensive line, it immediately braked and was inspected by the soldiers of the defensive line.

Mr. Wu and eleven other survivors were removed from different vehicles to undergo security checks, and every corner of the convoy was carefully searched.

The process is not complicated.

Dangerous goods inspections are mainly carried out here.

These include, but are not limited to: thermal weapons, flammable and explosive substances, special chemicals, etc.

If you are carrying dangerous goods, you will need to confirm your identity and be certified to carry them.

There's obviously nothing wrong with their team.

It was quickly released.

On the way behind the defensive line, Wu Changwei saw the outer defense force of this survivor base in Liaohai City.

Even if it's him, a man who doesn't understand military affairs.

Along the way, I saw many watchtowers, bunkers, minefield warnings, and patrol squads.

I don't know how many are hidden in the dark.

Let him come alone.

I don't even know if I'm standing on a hidden bunker.

If you don't know the safe route that the survivor base changes every day and informs you, I'm afraid that you can step on twelve mines and traps after walking ten steps.

It looked like it had been driving for more than ten kilometers.

A second line of defense appeared in front of them.

Over here.

Wu Changwei couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

He saw something that shocked the world.

Originally, he thought that nothing could shock him in this strange world.

But when I saw that thing, I couldn't help but be surprised.

It was a giant mecha with an all-silver body.

The body size of nearly ten meters stands on the second line of defense, which is enough to attract the attention of all passers-by.

Comparison of tanks around the perimeter.

It also looks inconspicuous.

In the afternoon, the sun did not shine on the surface of the mecha, reflecting a sense of epicness.

The structure of the function that cannot be seen up and down is enough to make anyone feel a hint of edge.

Wu Changwei was silent.

He believes.

This thing is definitely not just a simple decoration here.

It's absolutely genuine.

It's a killing machine that can really move, and can be used in battle!

Why did it come out of the small black room after being closed for more than ten days.

It feels like it's too much to be out of touch with the times all at once.

Wu Changwei was a little confused.

The series of changes caused by the disaster is understandable, but is the mecha in front of you that is getting closer and closer also included in the changes?

Is this the weapon humanity uses in the face of this catastrophe?

Before the catastrophe strikes.

How much is hidden in this world?

Wu Changwei had a lot of thoughts.

Soon.

In his stunned state, all the checks of this second line of defense were over.

The convoy moved on.

Four more lines of defense were passed, and meticulous and repeated inspections were carried out on various aspects.

And then.

The real Liaohai City Survivor Base appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The city wall, which was not tall but stretched far away, suddenly drew Wu Changwei's attention back.

His mind, which had been wandering the world since he saw the mecha, had returned to normal.

Looking at the slowly approaching cement walls.

Wu Changwei once again experienced the changes of the times.

City walls, ancient military defense facilities, military defense lines composed of walls and other auxiliary military facilities.

It was a defensive structure against invasion.

This kind of defensive structure, which is not very advanced, has actually been eliminated a long time ago.

But now it's being used again.

Wu Changwei, as a scientific researcher who knows a little bit of everything, understands one thing.

The existence of this wall.

Perhaps the spiritual significance is greater than the actual protective significance.

It was still theoretically useless, far less than the long buffer zone he'd seen on the way here.

The meaning of the existence of such a wall.

It's more of an emotional sustenance that comforts the hearts of the survivors.

Let the survivors understand.

They are safe now.

Analyze it even at a deeper level.

Wu Changwei thinks that the construction of this section of the city wall may not have been carried out by the official construction force of the survivor base in Liaohai City, but the official distribution of it to the people in the form of work-for-work.

Involve the people.

While enhancing the sense of belonging of all the survivors in the entire survivor base, it is also to find a place for the survivors' restless hearts and energy to vent.

The more you think about it, the more you discover.

The two-metre-high wall, which was not difficult to construct and did not cost too many resources, actually played an important role on a spiritual level.

Wu Changwei pondered.

Obediently followed the convoy into the city.

in the process.

He went through a series of registration procedures with the official personnel of the survivor base in Liaohai City.

Then he was assigned a [White Feather Phone] and a key.

The specific functions of [White Feather Mobile Phone], the official personnel have already taught him.

It's not complicated.

However, it condenses most of the functions necessary for life, and there are also 500 basic order points issued by the Liaohai City Survivor Base to these survivors.

These 500 points are equivalent to the order points of the post-order era money, which is the starting point for the survival of these survivors.

Besides.

That key was the house key officially issued by the Liaohai City Survivor Base.

The specific location, and there will be an official to take them over later.

Looking at the people who have risen since entering the city.

I feel the excitement that I haven't felt in a long time.

Wu Changwei held the palm of the [Bai Yu Mobile Phone] and couldn't help but become a little tighter.

Since then, it has officially returned to the human settlement.

The world is so strange.

But he had to adapt.

All human beings have to adapt.

……………………………………

In the ocean of spiritual rules.

Chen Sheng stared at the change in the consciousness of the earth.

Since the end of the catastrophe, he has been supervising and directing the Earth Consciousness to devour the corpses of the abyssal monsters spiritually.

Now, after all this time.

This devouring is finally over.

Meanwhile.

Earth consciousness has changed.

On the level of reality of the physical universe, there seems to be no change.

All people on earth are unaware.

But in the ocean of spiritual rules.

The intensity of this change is not small.

Chen Sheng observed the formation of the earth's consciousness as he reached out and summoned Gosla.

Suddenly pulled into the sea of spiritual rules, Gosira was a little flustered at first, but calmed down when she found that the leader Chen Sheng was beside her.

She felt the change in the consciousness of the earth.

Understand that what the leader had told her earlier about the evolution of Earth consciousness was already happening.

I immediately understood.

The reason why the leader Chen Sheng called her here.

Without hesitation, she plunged headlong into Earth Consciousness.

She originally originated from the earth consciousness, and at this moment she plans to rush in and fuse the earth consciousness that has evolved and devoured.

Because Chen Sheng told her a few days ago.

If you can, it's more comfortable for Earth Consciousness to use your own people.

She herself may not be able to devour the evolved Earth consciousness of the Fusion Nuoda.

But she has the leader Chen Sheng behind her.

So, she has nothing to fear.

And Chen Sheng also watched Gosira rush into the consciousness of the earth.

He didn't stand in the way.

Because that's what he's signaling.

Meanwhile.

Her powers begin to prepare to assist Gosira in the process of devouring.

It's just that when the process happens right in front of our eyes.

Chen Sheng discovered some details.

Seem......

Gosra's elevated essence, if it fuses with the earth consciousness at this moment, it is possible that it will be polluted by its essence?

This will drain Gosra's future potential.

Gosra has been learning the essence of the little golden crow of the Fuso tree, and at this moment it is a bit self-surrendering to return to the earth.

There was a moment of silence.

Chen Sheng immediately dispelled the idea of fusion.

He was already half-step seventh, and he fished it back at will, and he fished back Gosla, who had been integrated into the consciousness of the earth.

Then he cut off a part of the pure power source from the earth consciousness and stuffed it into Gosla's body, and then waved her hand to send Gosira back to the Fusang tree in the mountain and sea realm, so that she could retreat by herself and try to break through the fourth level of spiritual power.

As for that earth consciousness.

Chen Sheng pondered for a moment.

I feel that Eternal Day and humanity do not need a living, conscious Earth.

So he broke up most of his intellect and merged it into the earth itself.

Let the earth that is gradually becoming hard.

Crazy again to increase the level of resistance to beatings.

And the earth consciousness that was supposed to be advanced was turned into only instinct and part of intellect by Chen Sheng, and turned into a hazy consciousness.

Smarter than the hazy it once was.

It is hazy than the consciousness of the whole body.

It's like a weak artificial intelligence at the mercy of others, without much autonomy.

Do this.

Chen Sheng stopped moving.

Looking at the light spot in front of him, he smiled slightly: "In the future, you will be called Gaia." ”

After saying that, the point of light disappeared.

This earthly consciousness is broken up and reorganized to form the basic intelligence dissipated.

Chen Sheng did not panic.

Just one step to get to somewhere on Earth.

The ground beside him immediately condensed into a vague human form with no extra organs.

Speaking to Chen Sheng, who came here:

"Astral Consciousness Gaia is here, please instruct."

Chen Sheng smiled slightly when he saw this.

Yes.

Earth consciousness was turned into artificial intelligence by him.

And the whole Earth itself has become a huge special astral computer.

He is anywhere on earth.

can summon the astral consciousness Gaia, and do some simple supervision and manipulation of the earth.
