The sky, which was originally filled with bright sunshine, gradually became gloomy.
Chen Chen held the baby in his arms and walked on the desolate plain like a walking corpse. Only when he looked at the baby in his arms, a trace of color flashed in his eyes.
Relying on the instinct of living for many years, Chen Chen drank morning dew and ate weeds along the way. I don't know how long it took. It seemed like a few days, and it seemed like a long, long time. It was so long that Chen Chen felt numb.
Until he could hardly walk anymore, he suddenly came to a straight and narrow road.
The appearance of this road brought a glimmer of hope to Chen Chen's eyes. He walked slowly along the road, and then heard a rumbling sound behind him.
Chen Chen turned around and saw several cars with black light technology symbols running from a distance, and then drove straight past Chen Chen, raising gusts of wind and sand.
Seeing this, Chen Chen instinctively continued to move forward, but this time the more he walked, the more people there were. Gradually, countless people gathered on the road, all walking in the same direction.
Meanwhile, fallen bodies can be seen everywhere on the roadside.
Chen Chen took out the water bottle and drank the last sip of water in it. Only after there was no more water in the bottle, he carefully put the water bottle away and continued to move forward with the flow of people.
Gradually, a dark figure appeared in the distance...
However, when he reached his desired destination, Chen Chen became more and more desperate. He looked at the endless refugees under the city wall, and then looked at the row of steel walls in front of him that stretched to the end of his sight. He knew that wall. , that was the separation wall that he built in advance to prevent refugees from attacking the city. Hundreds of black knights can even be seen on the city wall.
Back then, he looked at all sentient beings with a smile, but now his status has been reversed and he has become one of the most miserable beings in that group.
Chen Chen's eyes gradually became hazy. He lowered his head and stroked the baby's body, which was getting colder. There was a hint of loss in his eyes. In the end, he was still unable to save anyone.
Chen Chen's eyes gradually dimmed, and his whole body collapsed like a mountain, collapsing on the ground. However, the people around him did not react at all. They just walked their own path. After all, for this group of refugees walking along the way, Chen Chen was just one of the countless people who fell down every day.
Do you regret it
Deep in my heart, countless chaotic thoughts emerged, as if the original owner of this body was staring at me coldly, questioning myself...
If I had put in more effort back then, would I have been able to change my current destiny
Do you regret it
Chen Chen fell into deep thought after hearing this. Did he really start to regret his decision back then
"Ah… "
At the moment when he felt that life was gradually being stripped away from his body, he couldn't help laughing. It was a kind of ridicule from the heart. At the moment before his life ended, his eyes suddenly became clear again.
"Ask your heart?"
Chen Chen murmured in a low voice. He looked at the young man named Leligado in front of him, watching him staring at him, and asked one after another: "Do you regret it? If it weren't for you, my parents, my sister, You can also save my good friend’s son!”
"Do you regret it?"
A teardrop slipped quietly from the corner of his eye, but Chen Chen's expression became calmer and calmer. He said calmly, "I am me, I am Chen Chen, not you. You have your sadness, and I also have my persistence. Even if you let me go through it again, You can live your life a thousand times and I will never regret it!"
"Hahahahaha!"
As he said that, Chen Chen burst out laughing, and then everything around him gradually became illusory and eventually turned into endless darkness. However, Chen Chen found that everything around him began to change!
His whole body regained strength and his consciousness gradually awakened. As the spiritual energy in his mind swept around, Chen Chen immediately saw Zhao Shanhe and Jenny standing next to him. At this time, both of them were as quiet as himself. Standing there, his whole body was trembling.
"Zhao Shanhe!"
A flash of clarity flashed through Chen Chen's mind, and then he suddenly grabbed Zhao Shanhe's neck and lifted him up high!
"How dare you plot against me?"
Chen Chen still had his eyes closed, but a trace of ferocity flashed across his face. At this time, under Chen Chen's attack, Zhao Shanhe also woke up quickly, but his firm will still made him close his eyes. He was a little shocked and said, "How is this possible? , how could you wake up earlier than me?"
Hearing the movement next to her, Jenny suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Chen Chen beside her in shock, "Let go... let go..." But the next second, her expression changed drastically!
"ah!"
Jenny suddenly let out a scream, her whole body shook rapidly, she covered her head and screamed miserably.
Just like melting ice and snow, Jenny's body also began to melt rapidly. Chen Chen was a little surprised when he swept it with his spiritual power, only to see Jenny holding her head and screaming loudly, and then her head began to slowly melt from the top of her head!
Seeing this scene, Chen Chen suddenly felt his palms loosen up. At this time, Zhao Shanhe, who was holding him, opened his palms. The black slate vibrated faintly, not only shaking Chen Chen away, but Chen Chen also heard a strange sound coming from beside him. Roar!
The piercing and shrill screams echoed in Chen Chen's ears. Under Chen Chen's 'watching', Jenny's head completely turned into a puddle of yellow liquid, but even though her head had melted, there was still a shrill scream in her throat. The scream!
It wasn't until her neck began to melt that the scream completely stopped. Then, in just ten seconds, Jenny completely turned into a puddle of mud!
Is this what happens when you open your eyes
Chen Chen looked at all this in astonishment, and then he looked at Zhao Shanhe who broke away, "What's going on?"
"damn it… "
Zhao Shanhe's face was also extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth and said, "She, she must have seen something. There is something around us! Jenny must have seen that thing before... "
Chen Chen's heart sank. His spiritual energy once again swept through everything around him, but he couldn't sense anything except the bumpy ground under his feet.
But he was sure that when Zhao Shanhe used the principles of civilization, he did drive something away.
"I didn't plot against you..."
Zhao Shanhe continued to explain, "I didn't expect that we had just arrived in subspace and were immediately attacked by some evil thing. That kind of thing has the power to devour people's hearts. It can look through our memories at will and find information from them. Show the most vulnerable part, and then let us fall into a fantasy!"
"You think I'll believe it?"
Chen Chen said coldly.
"Whether you believe it or not, this is indeed the case!"
Zhao Shanhe argued, "I have civilized principles. Your power can't kill me, so I don't need to harm you."
By this time, Chen Chen had remembered everything. Indeed, during the plague that year, he had indeed read through the files of many refugees. Among them, he had also read the complete story of the person named Lerigado. .
Obviously, what he experienced in the fantasy just now was the experience of Lerigado.
"Subspace is the projection of the real universe."
Zhao Shanhe was afraid that Chen Chen would not believe his words, so he continued to explain, "This is not the material plane, but a world close to idealism. Everything in the material plane is meaningless here, and anything can happen, so we must enter here. Close your eyes, because once this world is observed, all the weirdness will turn into reality and endanger life!"
Just when Zhao Shanhe spoke, Chen Chen suddenly frowned because he heard a burst of footsteps coming from the distance.
The footsteps were somewhat familiar, but Chen Chen was certain that it was not the voice of the robot wearing human skin that he heard last night, but more like a human being...
"I didn't expect that you all came in here together..."
A slightly old and hoarse voice floated from a distance, and Chen Chen turned his head like lightning, showing a look of shock.
Zhao Shanhe on the side trembled all over, with a hint of ferocity in his eyes.
That voice…
That voice!
Chen Chen took a deep breath, with a solemn look on his face, "Professor Wang Xi, you finally showed up."
That's right, Chen Chen has always remembered that voice. Although more than ten years have passed, he has never forgotten that voice. It was Professor Wang Xi's voice...
A slightly stooped figure slowly walked into Chen Chen's psychic detection range. He was wearing an ordinary blue T-shirt, and his voice had a heavy echo, "Zhao Shanhe, Chen Chen, you didn't expect that we could be here." Meet..."
"Wang Xi!"
Zhao Shanhe's whole body was trembling. He gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you come out! I have no enmity with you, why do you want to harm me?"
"Harm you?"
Wang Xi showed doubts, "I clearly left all the keys to the plane to you. This is such a great opportunity. You even stood on top of the Earth Federation with what I left behind. How can you say that I harmed you? ?”
"But you deliberately left the memes in reality and almost brought human civilization to extinction several times. What was your purpose?"
Zhao Shanhe continued to ask questions, and at the same time he kept looking at Chen Chen secretly, as if hoping that Chen Chen would join him in attacking Wang Xi.
"That's just because you're not capable enough."
Zhao Shanhe sighed, "You have obtained the principles of civilization that I originally planned to leave to you, but you still can't solve the antimeme. Isn't this a lack of ability?"
Zhao Shanhe suddenly snorted coldly.
"Professor Wang Xi."
Chen Chen listened to the conversation between the two and suddenly asked, "Is it your plan to get the USB flash drive?"
"That's not true."
Wang Xi shook his head, "I just deliberately placed the plane key in a hidden place. Who can get it depends entirely on God's will, and what will happen after getting it, but I didn't expect that you can do it far better than Zhao Shanhe... "
Chen Chen suddenly frowned.
"I just left the plane key to Zhao Shanhe."
Wang Xi smiled and said, "He was originally the second master, and he also got the principles of civilization, but now he can only rely on the principles of civilization to barely compete with you. It's really sad..."
"So what's your purpose?"
Chen Chen asked, "After we got the key to the plane, why did you spread the 'Weeping Angel' and other memes into reality, at the cost of killing people? What is your purpose?"
“Why should we do things with a purpose?”
Wang Xi shook his head and said strangely, "I am me, God is me, and the devil is me. If there is one reason, it is that the plane key must be bound to a master, but I don't want to see you relying on the plane key. Keep getting stronger, this is what I am willing to do..."
"Picked it up?"
Chen Chen and Zhao Shanhe's expressions suddenly changed. The plane key that can lead to the endless plane was actually picked up by Wang Xi
"Back then, computer storage equipment was still in the floppy disk era. When I picked up the plane key in the form of a floppy disk, I thought I could change the whole world. Unfortunately..."
There was a trace of regret in Wang Xi's eyes, and he shook his head and spoke again, "I died once, so I lost control of the plane key, so I can only let the plane key find its next owner. This is how you get the plane key. The reason…”
Hearing Wang Xi's words, Chen Chen kept frowning. He looked at Wang Xi with some confusion. It was hard for him to believe that these words were Wang Xi's true thoughts.
Could it be that there are some secrets in Wang Xi’s words
Chen Chen looked thoughtful, but at this moment, Zhao Shanhe beside him couldn't hold himself back.
"If that's the case, then you die!"
Zhao Shanhe suddenly took action, and the black slate in his palm grew larger out of thin air. At the same time, an invisible wave swept across. The wave even affected Chen Chen, giving him a splitting headache!
However, the next moment Zhao Shanhe took action, Chen Chen suddenly felt a heat in his chest, and then a beam of light from the laser sword penetrated directly through his chest and poked out from the front!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
When Wang Xi saw all this, he burst out laughing. He glanced at Zhao Shanhe mockingly, and then quickly disappeared, leaving only one sentence that echoed in all directions:
"Chen Chen, I look forward to you leading mankind into the era of subspace navigation!"
After these words, Wang Xi completely disappeared without a trace!
Chen Chen's expression turned completely cold. He covered his head and turned his head with a ferocious expression, looking at the astonished Zhao Shanhe behind him.
"You, why are you not dead?"
Zhao Shanhe said in shock. He gritted his teeth and pulled hard again. Immediately, Chen Chen's chest was completely cut open, revealing the dark substance inside!
Zhao Shanhe used his force to explore, and he suddenly discovered that there was nothing inside Chen Chen's chest, as if Chen Chen was completely composed of a mass of flesh and blood without any structure...
Chen Chen turned around and sneered, "You were the one who tricked me just now!"
Zhao Shanhe's expression changed drastically, and he quickly retreated back. At the same time, the black slate in his palm continued to tremble, and inexplicable thoughts and powers continued to pass into Chen Chen's consciousness, as if he wanted to control Chen Chen.
"impossible!"
The black slate in his hand kept shaking, but he still couldn't control Chen Chen. Seeing this, Zhao Shanhe's expression changed greatly, "It's impossible, why can't you die? You are not human at all!"
"I have surpassed humans long ago!"
Chen Chen's spiritual energy exploded, and a strangulating force suddenly came from the surrounding space. However, this force was constantly blocked by the black stone slabs, which only made Zhao Shanhe's expression keep changing.
At this time, Zhao Shanhe has been retreating continuously. Behind him, a channel that is constantly sucking the airflow is close at hand. It is the gap leading to reality. Zhao Shanhe seems to be planning to leave from there!
"You can't run away!"
Chen Chen suddenly opened his eyes. Immediately, his pupils shrank, and he only saw endless twisted figures all around. Those figures gathered around the two people, roaring and looking at Chen Chen. The moment Chen Chen looked at them, Those twisted figures also extended their tentacles in front of Chen Chen!
"You opened your eyes, hahaha, you opened your eyes!"
Zhao Shanhe let out a cry of surprise. He didn't expect that Chen Chen would seek death like this. In order to keep him, he would even dare to open his eyes!
But the next second, the smile on his face completely froze, because he saw Chen Chen suddenly open his hands and clasp them directly towards his eyes!
laugh!
Two sounds of nerves and muscles being torn were heard, and Chen Chen completely dug out his eyes. The next second, the world in front of Chen Chen changed again, and he completely saw the reality of this world!
"It turns out that this is subspace!"
Chen Chen only saw endless black air currents surging. Those air currents collapsed one after another the moment they touched him. The curse that would have killed him as soon as he opened his eyes suddenly became ineffective. At the same time, Chen Chen's spiritual energy completely lost the restraints of the subspace rules. , exploded suddenly!
boom!
At this moment, Chen Chen completely integrated the power of subspace, and his spiritual energy triggered the tide of subspace and transmitted it towards Zhao Shanhe!
Finally, after Chen Chen triggered the subspace tide, the power of the black slate could no longer hold on. With a bang, the slate immediately shattered!
"ah!"
Zhao Shanhe only had time to let out an unwilling roar, and his whole body was shattered inch by inch, completely shattered by the subspace tide...
