I Just Want To Retire Quietly

Chapter 59: Ghost Town (VII)

Views:

Precognitive abilities also exist in real life, such as animals' strange phenomena before earthquakes, and some people always feel frightened before encountering a disaster.

Science cannot explain some phenomena such as precognition, but since the emergence of consciousness theory, the supernatural group can explain it.

Tu Zishi's two consecutive foresights may have been caused by his super-strong consciousness receiving signals from the outside world before the critical moment of life and death. Consciousness is very complex, and there is too much information from the outside world. Everyone receives different information, some by hearing and some by seeing. Like Tu Zishi, he probably received danger signals from the outside world in advance. The monsters hiding in the toll booth were bound to have some consciousness exchanges, and this signal was received by Tu Zishi.

"Of course, there is a more exaggerated theory, which is that we received signals from our future selves," Liang Xian said. "No matter which one it is, the ability to predict the future is of great help to us in our current situation."

"We can analyze the specific principles later. Now that Tu Zishi has this ability, it will be of great help to us!" After not seeing the tentacles for a long time, Ah San finally regained some spirits. "If his ability is strong enough to know the location of the 'void' or the situation of the world behind the 'void', we will make a fortune!"

Asan is right, understanding of "emptiness" is what they lack most at present. If Tu Zishi can really do this order in the future, he will be a treasure.

"I will work hard to become stronger!" Tu Zishi said as he swerved the steering wheel to avoid the tentacles flying diagonally from the side, "but the prerequisite is that we can leave this world!"

His movements just now were very natural, as if he had practiced them in advance, and he easily dodged the monster's attack. Feng Wu and Hai Liren looked at Tu Zishi with envy, hoping that they could also awaken their superpowers as soon as possible.

Professor Qiao talked about many things before coming here, but he didn't say how to awaken superpowers. Because he wasn't sure, but people who have been to other worlds can awaken without knowing it, probably because of time travel.

Qiao Zhixue believes that there may be some ability in the "void" that can stimulate human awakening. Of course, it must also be influenced by Tan Yan's ability, otherwise it would not be so smooth that one or two people could awaken.

Regardless, Tu Zishi's power is really convenient in such a world full of hidden dangers. He drove all the way on the national highway. This road, which has been used for many years, is not in good condition and often has big potholes. People who are not familiar with the road conditions may be in danger if they drive too fast.

But Tu Zishi seemed to have driven this way countless times. Whenever he encountered an obstacle, he was able to slow down or turn in advance and always avoid danger smoothly. It was impossible to say that he was just lucky the previous times.

Later, Liang Xian had given up looking at the navigation system and only told Tu Zishi the location of the final destination, and let him do whatever he wanted. Tu Zishi drove like a god and reached the destination in just two hours.

It was already dawn. After a whole night of fighting and terror, they finally saw the sunlight.

The end of this world probably only happened this year, and the general structure is almost the same as the world they are familiar with. Ping County is still Ping County, and the cemetery is still a cemetery.

There weren't many people in the pacification area, and even fewer in the cemetery. Moreover, after daybreak, they seemed to have seen no monsters again.

"They seem to be afraid of sunlight," Liang Xian said, "Since the first light appeared on the horizon, there have been fewer monsters along the way."

Now the sun had fully emerged and the monster had disappeared.

"It would be great if it were true," Yan Yongfeng sat down on the ground, "I'm really exhausted from this night. Fortunately, the car has enough gas, otherwise I don't know what would happen if I went to the gas station."

"Is it a blessing, or did you choose a car with plenty of fuel when you were looking for it?" Liang Xian looked at Tu Zishi, who was lying on the ground with his hair wet with sweat and unable to get up.

Tu Zishi drove the last section of the road by himself, gritting his teeth and not letting others take over. The main reason is that when driving, consciousness and body movements must be fully coordinated. If someone else drives, there needs to be time to speak, remind and react, and there is no time at all in a crisis. Tu Zishi's premonition told him that he had to drive the whole way by himself, so he is now in a state of near-disability.

He couldn't even speak, just watching Tan Yan gasping for breath. Tan Yan reached out and picked him up, throwing him on his shoulder like a sack, and said, "Well done, you are good enough."

Tu Zishi: “… Ugh…”

If you want to carry someone, just carry them. Why do you have to carry them? It’s so embarrassing. I can’t even be happy when I’m praised.

The little deer stamped its hooves beside Tan Yan and called out "yo yo".

As if he understood what it meant, Tan Yan touched the deer's neck and said, "I know you want to help Dad carry people, but you are still young and Tu Zishi is too tall. When you grow taller, or at least when your horns grow out, you can carry people."

"Yo~~~~" the little deer let out a long cry, and his voice was filled with deep expectation.

Tu Zishi: “…”

He thought it was good to let the deer carry him now, at least it wouldn't press against his stomach. And judging by the force of the deer's consecutive kicks, it was very strong and could definitely carry two or three big men.

The sunshine always brings joy to people, and without the monsters chasing them, the people, exhausted from a whole night, walked towards the teleportation point with heavy steps.

Tan Yan stopped in front of an open space and said, "This is it."

This was also the first time Liang Xian had seen the appearance of a teleportation point. After all, this world had not encountered any natural disasters and was relatively intact. He frowned and asked, "No tombstone?"

Liang Xian also wanted to determine the identity of the person in the tombstone in the real world by observing the tombstone at the teleportation point.

Logically speaking, the world began to change in 2018, so there should be Tan Yan and this tombstone...

Liang Xian guessed uncertainly that since there were no holes in this world, Tan Yan was just an ordinary person. He would grow old according to the laws of nature (Liang Xian felt heartbroken when he thought of this). He might have died of illness or been parasitized by a monster...

When he thought of this, Liang Xian's heart ached even more.

But no, there are no tombstones here, just an empty field. The cemetery complex in Ping County in this world is slightly different from that in the real world. There are no old cemeteries, and no tombstones without words.

"No, that's normal," Tan Yan said, "I've entered the other world so many times, and the teleportation point has never been a tombstone. I just return to the tombstone when I return to the real world."

"What?" Liang Xian looked puzzled. This shouldn't happen.

According to the theory of parallel worlds, as long as there is no choice, the two worlds should be the same. This...

"No!" Liang Xian suddenly had an idea. "We have always had a misunderstanding. We think that most parallel worlds should be the same, but in fact, they are not. Our world has had a 'hole' since forty years ago. That is to say, from that time on, the real world should be different from other worlds!"

The point they crossed over was the villa area of City B, but in the other world they were in front of a bar. Liang Xian always thought that this subtle difference was caused by the end of the other world. But in fact, it was not. Their world had been different from other worlds since forty years ago.

"What? Forty years?" Tu Zishi, who was carried by Tan Yan, raised his head with difficulty. "It has been forty years since our world encountered the 'Void'? Then why are there only so few people with special abilities? How did the country keep the news secret for forty years?"

"Uh..." Liang Xian realized that he had let the cat out of the bag. If they continued to talk about this topic, they would get to Tan Yan's age.

Even if he wanted to tell the newcomer, Liang Xian didn't want to say it himself...

"Let's discuss this matter when we get back. We're already in front of the teleportation point." Liang Xian immediately changed the subject.

Three newcomers: “…”

I always feel like something is weird.

Yan Yongfeng stood in front of the open space, pointed to a location and asked Tan Yan: "Is this the teleportation point?"

"How do you know?" Tan Yan was a little surprised. He always relied on feeling to find the location, and now he hasn't said where it is exactly.

"I saw it," Yan Yongfeng gestured, "It's a spiral aperture with a diameter of about one meter. There are electrons inside, and they are spinning. It wasn't there just now, but the closer you get to it, the more obvious it is. Well, I didn't see it, I felt it. This is the so-called quantum entanglement. At this location in our world, there are particles that are quantum entangled with you, so when you appear here, the tombstone in the real world is calling you, so I can see the teleportation point. I don't know if it came here to find you, or if what I 'saw' is actually the entanglement of the real world."

Yan Yongfeng couldn’t express it clearly, it was a very mysterious feeling, very magical.

"Let's go back and study it." Tan Yan extended his hand to everyone.

After relaxing, Ah San held Tan Yan's hand and muttered, "We have to hold hands every time we go back, and Qiu Qizhen also has to hold hands when he uses his ability. Don't you think it's gay? Why do we have to hold hands?"

"It should be enough to have physical contact," Liang Xian analyzed, "then they will become a whole and be teleported by space by default."

"It seems like a protective shield might work too." Tan Yan suddenly said.

Liang Xian: “?”

"I think a protective shield would work. Once you enter the shield, you and I will be considered as one entity." Tan Yan said, "I have this feeling."

Then why do we have to hold hands and be good friends all the time? This question popped up in everyone's mind at the same time.

Unfortunately, Tan Yan did not give everyone a chance to react and jumped directly into the teleportation point.

After a whole night, they finally returned to real society.

Minister Yu had already brought people to wait in front of the tombstone. Seeing everyone fall down as soon as they were teleported back, medical soldiers immediately came forward and put them on stretchers.

Tu Zishi was groaning with a headache when he saw a medic's mouth. He suddenly jumped up with a cry of "Ah" and punched the medic in the mouth.

Fortunately, Tan Yan was quick-witted and grabbed Tu Zishi's hand, soothing him: "Calm down."

Tu Zishi was sweating profusely. He took a few deep breaths before he sat on the ground, holding his head. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, we are back, back, hehe..."

"It's great to be back." Feng Wu covered his face and said, "The sun is shining, and the safe world is great."

Hai Liren said to the medic: "Excuse me, can you please wear a mask? I am a little afraid of people's mouths..."

In fact, it's not just the three newcomers. Except for Tan Yan and Xiaolu, everyone has some sequelae. Hai Liren even feels that he may never be able to touch a woman in his life. When he thinks of the woman's breasts rubbing against his arm, he feels a little shy and proud in the last second, and the next second he feels like a huge mouth of the abyss...

No, I can’t think about it anymore. If I keep thinking about him, I might become weak in the future.

"No one was seriously injured, but their mental state is not good." Qiao Zhixue said.

"Professor Qiao," Liang Xian suddenly said, "I suggest that we be isolated and observed for three or four hours. We have gone to a world with parasitic monsters."

Qiao Zhixue and Minister Yu looked at each other and immediately adopted the second plan, which was to have everyone lie on isolation beds and send them to the observation room at the base, preventing anyone else from contacting them.

Several people did not think this treatment was bad, and fell asleep as soon as they entered the observation room. Some people even touched their necks while sleeping, as if something was strangling them and they seemed to be in great pain.

However, Tan Yan slept as quietly as ever, and Xiaolu fell asleep while standing beside him, which seemed particularly warm.

"Once again, they all came back." Minister Yu sat on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief. "These young children have saved their lives. Every time they enter the 'Void', my heart aches. This is different from previous missions. They are going to a completely unfamiliar world. Every time they may not come back, I personally send them in, and every second of waiting is so painful."

"Someone has to do it," Qiao Zhixue said calmly, "otherwise the earth will be destroyed sooner or later. Last time you said you wanted to unite international forces. I heard that the United States has the most advanced quantum measuring instrument, which may be able to predict the location of the 'void' in advance. Have you made any progress?"

"No," Minister Yu shook his head. "Those guys abroad don't believe what I say. Maybe they do, but right now my country is the first to bear the brunt of the void. We can't just leave it alone. We have to solve it. Unless there is a 'void' in the United States and there is not in my country, they must find a way to control the void. When they need our help, we can propose the conditions to exchange their advanced technology."

"That's understandable," Qiao Zhixue nodded. "Traveling through the world is unbelievable after all. People in their country won't believe it unless they experience it. They might even think we are exaggerating to cheat them of advanced information."

"Yeah, the video footage I sent over was all thought to be special effects. It's ridiculous."

Qiao Zhixue comforted him, "Don't worry too much. Maybe in a few days, the 'void' will spread abroad. We just need to hurry up and train more players, and then we will be invincible. Tan Yan's quantum entanglement and the psychic are our bargaining chips. We don't have to worry about them not exchanging when the time comes."

"I'm just afraid that the next time the 'hole' appears, it will be in a downtown area..." Minister Yu sighed, "We were lucky this time and no one was involved, but what about the next time, and the next time? I really can't imagine what this country will become if the truth about the 'hole' is exposed. The false apocalypse theory in the past has made the whole society panic. Now the end of the world is right around the corner. I'm really afraid of causing unrest."

Qiao Zhixue didn't understand politics, so he had no way to respond and could only remain silent.

"I hope I'm just worrying too much." Minister Yu had no choice but to sigh.

"It's finally not that embarrassing this time," Qiao Zhixue said as he looked at everyone's sleeping faces outside the observation room, "It will get better and better in the future."

Minister Yu shook his head solemnly: "Not necessarily. Look at their expressions. They seem to be in pain even when sleeping. I'm worried that they may have psychological problems. Physical injuries are easy to heal, but mental ones are very difficult."

"I have prepared a psychological counseling room. I will advise them to go there after they wake up. There are enough people now. Those who are not in good mental condition should not enter the 'void' next time." Qiao Zhixue said.

"This is the only way for now." Minister Yu walked to the door of another room, "We just won a battle here."

Cui Heyu was also lying on the bed in the room sleeping. There was an EEG tester next to the bed. The EEG showed that he was in a sleeping state and had successfully used his own strength to bring his consciousness back from the computer to his body.

Next to him was a supercomputer, on which messages kept popping up.

All netizens regarded the photos previously posted by the popular star as hype information, and no one believed that the black hole swallowed the swimming pool.

Cui Heyu won the public opinion war.
