Chapter 999 Smooth Development

"Cough...cough..."

This is a...gloomy world.

The sky is covered with dark clouds, and the ground is filled with dense dust. Buildings made of steel stand in rows, and colorful brilliance flashes continuously in the screens placed between these buildings. With the flashing of these lights, various kinds of lights appear. Similar sounds also sounded. The characters on the screen were working hard to promote their products, constantly making higher volumes, trying to overpower the similar people next to them.

But no matter how loud these ads are, generally no one pays attention to them.

Countless figures walked under the building with their heads lowered, their faces expressionless, as if they were moving collectively as if they were programmed machines. Occasionally they would cough a few times, but these small sounds would soon be replaced by the advertising sound. Cover completely.

However, sometimes, a few would raise their heads slightly, looking through the gaps between the buildings covered with advertisements, towards the gray sky. This lasted only for a few seconds, and then they lowered their heads and continued moving forward.

"More...virtual coins."

In this era, every living thing here basically only has this idea, so they have no time to wait, no time to rest, they can only keep working hard...and then die.

This kind of life has been with them for a long, long time, until...

…………

"Wow! Did we live in such a miserable place before?"

"Don't make any noise and be quiet while watching the movie, you know?"

Here is a... movie theater. On the huge screen, a movie called "The Dark Age" is being shown, and the seats below are filled with creatures called virtual people.

Most of the Xumin watched the movie quietly, but sometimes there was a little noise. For example, a young Xumin sitting next to a female Xumin said loudly to his mother: "You Have you lived in a place like this before? How did it feel at that time? It must have been very uncomfortable, I feel very uncomfortable just looking at it!"

"Shut up and watch the movie quietly!"

"Okay..." Seeing that his mother seemed angry, the young Xumin closed his mouth and looked at the screen again. Look at the contents.

It was quickly attracted by the content inside. The movie "Dark Age" is the latest movie released, and it tells about the world where Xumin used to live.

There is no protagonist or plot in this movie, it is purely a... documentary. It records many things that happened in the past, and describes how the former virtual people worked in an environment full of dust and advertisements. People who did not have virtual coins and those who had virtual coins lived two completely different lives. Many people They continue to commit crimes in order to obtain virtual coins, so they have made more laws than mountains... In general...

It is a summary of fragments of a virtual citizen's life...his past life.

When the movie is over. The female Xumin took her child out of her seat and walked towards the exit of the cinema. While walking, she also said to the child: "How is it? Do you feel happy to be born here now?"

"Yes! I am the happiest!"

When they stepped out of the cinema, a dazzling light entered their eyes, but this was not the light from an advertisement, but the stars in the sky.

The clear sky is almost free of dirt, so the warm light reaches the land accurately, and the air is filled with clear breath. Everyone who passed by had smiles and joy on their faces.

Because there is almost nothing here...what they just saw in the movie.

There is no dust in the sky, no crime, and no desperate workers... There is clear air, an empty environment, and buildings without any advertisements... No, maybe there are some advertisements.

"Breaking trailer!" There was a small screen next to the entrance of the cinema, which was playing flashing pictures, and there was also an exciting voice: "Full marks for the super disaster movie 'Ruins in the Void', It will be broadcast soon! Please stay tuned for the latest news about the movie!"

"Ah! I want to see this!" The cub heard this and immediately shouted: "Let's see this next time, okay? Okay?"

"Disaster movie? It didn't say when it would be played. Let's talk about it later." Xumin left the cinema with the reluctant cubs. What they didn't notice was...

At the entrance to the cinema, there is an 'eye' watching them.

"Previous documentaries were very popular, General." In a room of a hemispherical building in the distance. Several citizens were gathered around a desk, discussing the movie just now.

"Compared with the past, our life now is too close to perfection. This is a new era."

"Yes, since the last group of thieves were dealt with, there has been no crime at all. Everything is developing quite smoothly, and no one has even the slightest complaint about their current life."

"The excavation of groundwater is also in good condition. We have found vast underground water areas in many places. I believe this can completely replace the previous ocean, and it is still an ocean without any pollution. We will never let it be polluted again. Any contamination."

"The air in the entire environment is quite clear, and the purified oxygen has spread on a large scale. At the same time, we have revived some extinct plants. I think... everyone will soon forget the previous environment and fully embrace the new... …”

"No, the past must be remembered." A voice rang out, and the Xu citizens present at the discussion fell silent. They all looked at the initiator of the words, the general.

"That's why the previous documentaries will be broadcast. All citizens must remember... everything that happened before, so that we can continue to make progress." The general said: "Although our development situation is getting better and better now, we still cannot do it in the future. Sure."

"Our... entire race needs a long-term leader, a leader who will only consider the species and not himself. There may be more than one, but there may be many, but they must all ignore their own interests... "

The general looked at a civilian present and said, "That technology seems to be very complete."

"Yes...yes!" The citizen immediately stood up and said: "With the new technology, our cubs have been able to enter the learning stage much earlier than before. They can start learning almost as soon as they are born..."

"But we still have to continue to observe the specific effect." The general said, looking at a screen next to him.

The screen showed the appearance of the cub that had just made a noise in the cinema. This cub was very special because... it had not lived in the previous virtual world, but was a new generation.

According to Xumin's original growth rate, the new generation is not yet ready to learn, but this cub can already learn and scream.

This is mainly because of a recently completed technology that allows cubs to enter the learning stage faster, and this technology is very stable and will not affect factors such as lifespan.

This will allow the virtual people's population to grow more quickly.

However, the general is not completely confident about this technology, so he has to observe it for a period of time. If the number of virtual citizens increases, the unstable factors will also increase.

For example, many criminals may be born again. The General is trying to find ways to completely isolate all crimes. This is also the goal it has always pursued.

Now that it has been achieved, how to maintain it is a question...

In addition, the general is also worried about some other issues...

"About the next movie..." After thinking about it, the general said to a civilian next to him: "Has the broadcast time been set?"

"This can actually be played at any time." The citizen said, "It's just the source of the film..."

"Hasn't the film source been sent yet?" The general said, "Okay, that's the end of today's meeting... Thank you for your hard work."

"Thank you for your hard work!" All the citizens stood up, made a gesture and left the hall, leaving only the general.

After seeing other civilians go out, the general took out a smaller imaging device, opened it and poked a fluffy spherical icon on it, entered some information in the pop-up box, and sent it.

The message read: "Hasn't the time of that incident been determined yet?"

After ten seconds, the pompom icon lit up, and the response message arrived. The reply read: "It may happen, or it may not happen."

"This way I can't decide when to close the door..." The general sent the message again.

This is... what happened recently.

Because the construction projects throughout the colony have been going very smoothly recently, the general asked to start building many entertainment facilities, including movie theaters.

The general plans to show some movies in the cinema, including documentaries describing past life, etc. However, many people say they want to watch the big movies with explosion effects that they often watched in the past. Currently, because there are no such movies, the cinema is not very busy. It will be very high.

And just recently, the general suddenly received a message from Pom Pom, who said that he would give it a... movie.

Pure...disaster movie.

When the general was confused, the pom-pom also told him another thing, and that was about the 'collapse'.

This matter concerned the general more than the movie. After careful discussion, the pompoms said that they would not be affected here, and the general was relieved.

But even so, the general was very concerned about when this would happen, and the pompom told it...it would happen when the movie was released, but it was just a possibility. (To be continued.)
