Chapter 6: Thoughts Across Time

Lu Buer's pupils were illuminated by the fleeting cold light. The head of the old priest flew high in an instant, and the thick and fishy blood spurted out and sprinkled in the golden light.

The men in black hoods fell from the sky and started killing!

This scene was like seeing the gods descending to the earth for everyone. The hooded men shuttled through the cemetery, raising their hands and knives, raising a cold light, and cutting off the heads of the fanatics as easily as mowing the grass, and the blood splashed like fireworks.

The mummies were also torn into pieces in the sword light.

The breathing of the hooded men was as turbulent as the tide, and the momentum was amazing.

No one knew who they were.

No one knew where they came from.

But at this moment, they were the saviors of this cemetery.

Especially the man who seemed to be the leader, he held a cigarette in his hand, a blood-stained sword hung on his waist, strolling on the chaotic battlefield, his expression was indifferent and indifferent.

Fortunately, these hooded men did not attack any survivors. Their only targets seemed to be the deformed believers and mummies, and they launched a ruthless massacre.

"He Sai, we survived."

"Yes, Brother Lu, but the stench on you makes me feel that it is better to die."

The two brothers sat in the bushes and looked at each other, and both laughed.

Officer An and Boss Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Everyone hugged each other and cried loudly, snot and tears mixed together, and all the fear and hesitation along the way were vented at this moment, and the trembling of surviving from a desperate situation emerged in their hearts.

As the battle gradually came to an end, the hooded men were also looking at this group of people.

"It's rare to have so many cocoon breakers survive at one time."

"It looks like they are very scared."

"This group of people caught up with the life disaster caused by the deformed, and they can still survive under the siege of so many white walkers. There must be good seedlings."

The man who looked like a leader said lightly.

At this moment, a man rushed out of the fog. It turned out to be the middle-aged rich man who was seriously injured. He rushed out and shouted: "Save me! Please save me! As long as you take me out, I will give you as much money as you want! Save me!"

The middle-aged rich man finally fell to the ground, holding the man's ankle tightly with both hands.

As if he had grabbed the last straw.

And his face had turned into a devil.

Green face and fangs, hideous and terrifying.

"Devoured by your own desires?"

The man looked down at him, sighed softly, and took out a revolver from his pocket: "Let me free you, so you don't have to continue to suffer like this."

Bang!

One shot.

In the shocked sight of Lu Buer and others, the middle-aged rich man was shot in the head and his brain was blown.

Chill spread in their hearts.

The man glanced at their shocked expressions, silently put away his revolver, led his subordinates to kneel down to the burning golden ancient tree, bathed in the scorching light, and prayed devoutly: "My father is in heaven, may your name be holy, your country be blessed, and your will be fulfilled."

"My name is Qingmu, congratulations on your survival from the land of rebirth. Now on behalf of the Supreme Federation, I will record you as the 583274th batch of cocoon breakers. Next, you will be safely escorted to the nearest city, but before..."

Qingmu frowned: "Why are you so smelly?"

"..."

The survivors, including Lu Buer, were hesitant to speak.

A little hesitant.

A little embarrassed.

Next, Qingmu waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to check them, mainly to check whether anyone had mental mutations like the middle-aged local tyrant just now, and then checked the injuries.

After the inspection, Lu Buer was not found to have any problems. The metal shell of the God Seed had been thrown away by him, and the mark on the palm did not arouse suspicion.

"When the sacred tree descended upon the world, the appearance of the White Walkers destroyed the old order. Humans gained the power of evolution and were divided into different levels according to their talents. But some people, after gaining the power of evolution, were devoured by their own desires and became polluters."

Aoki felt relieved and pointed at the dead middle-aged rich man: "As for these polluted people, we generally call them inferior species and must be killed on the spot, otherwise..."

Everyone was silent for a moment. The other party was indeed not talking nonsense.

The dead middle-aged rich man's body was still twitching until this moment, and his skin was rotting, and he became the terrible mummy just now.

"He will become the mummies you just saw, that is, the White Walkers. Not only that, this kind of White Walker also has the characteristics of self-splitting, and can reproduce more White Walkers of the same species."

The man smiled: "And this kind of White Walker is actually the weakest. We still don't know where the White Walkers came from, why those ancient and powerful creatures invaded our world, forming a place of rebirth, or a life forbidden zone."

The huge information bombarded the three views of Lu Buer and others.

"As a cocoon-breaker who can survive in the land of the dead, you are very lucky. Because what awaits you next is not the end of the world, but an unprecedented extraordinary prosperity!"

Aoki's next words struck them like lightning.

"Welcome to five hundred years later, everyone."

·

·

On this day, Lu Buer's worldview collapsed. If all this is not a game, then his parents' research must have other hidden secrets. Even the beta version of the game that he was allowed to experience first seems to have a very special meaning!

His parents may have predicted all that will happen in the future!

Of course, other people's collapse may be more serious than his.

This is not a game, there is no so-called time travel, and it is not the end of the world. It's just that five hundred years have passed in a flash, and the vast sea has become mulberry fields. Things are no longer the same, and everything is over.

What does five hundred years mean?

It means that their lives collapsed in an instant.

The cocoon breakers boarded the helicopter in numbness. The judges first scanned their pupils, recorded the information of the cocoon breakers, and then distributed emergency military rations and purified water to each person. After a set of procedures, people once again felt the beauty of being alive.

Boss Zhang was very discerning. He pulled out one of his back molars and offered it to the owner. It was a denture made of pure gold, which was hard currency everywhere.

Of course, he did this in the hope that Qingmu and others would take more care of it.

Qingmu was not polite and accepted it on the spot.

Seeing this, Lu Buer exchanged two egg yolk pies for some information.

Qingmu's eyes lit up slightly, and he swallowed two in one breath. He was relieved to say that this thing is now out of print, even as a snack, it is very out of date.

What this sentence means is that the catering industry is very developed now, and no one eats snacks like egg yolk pies, so naturally no one makes and sells them.

Except for the cocoon breakers who will keep a souvenir, no one cares about it.

After finishing the meal, he wiped his mouth and said slowly: "It was a change that swept the world. The ancient sacred trees rose from the ground and spread all over the world. It started from the Arctic Circle, from the Eurasian continent to the African continent, from the South American continent to the North American continent, and finally to the Antarctic... Life forbidden areas were formed, and a creature called the White Walker began to invade. A considerable number of humans put on the virtual helmets of Aurora Technology and began to sleep for several years."

Lu Buer fell into silence. These were obviously the backgrounds of the initial beta version of the game. There were some differences in the details, but the general content was the same.

"Why can a virtual helmet make us sleep for five hundred years?"

He Sai asked subconsciously.

When Qingmu heard his question, he just smiled indifferently.

He sneered and took the power-off virtual helmet from a survivor, and sighed: "For the sake of the egg yolk pie, I will answer it for you again."

He unplugged the nerve hub inside the helmet, pulled out the wire and threw it on the ground.

I saw that the broken end of the wire was full of pure white silk, and a withered and dead silkworm was thrown out with it, which was broken into powder by the wind.

"In fact, when the sacred tree rose from the ancient stratum, the ancient divine light shone all over the world, and the power of God changed everything... and there was a magical parasite hidden in its rhizome, the time cocoon worm. The time cocoon of the time cocoon worm can freeze your life and protect you from the outside world. When your physique is completely changed, the silk will lose its protective effect. In fact, at first, the dormancy time of the time cocoon was set to only one year. Some people took longer to reshape their life structure because of their weak bodies. Especially for those who hibernate in the land of rebirth, they will be affected by certain special factors, and the dormancy time will be particularly long. , although it is more likely to produce geniuses, it is also more likely to die young. ”

Aoki glanced at the dust scattered by the wind: "When you were just sealed in the cocoon of time, the city you were in became the land of the dead. A huge danger swept in, and humans had to evacuate. And you, were left in the land of the dead. We have been trying to search and rescue for many years, but it is inevitable that there will be omissions. After all, the land of the dead is very dangerous, and there will be some terrible changes from time to time. You are very lucky that you have not encountered those terrifying visions and high-level white walkers. If you encounter those things, our team will be buried in it. ”

The cocoon breakers were stunned.

So that's it.

There is obviously more than one city in the land of the dead.

The group of people who entered the cocoon and slept five hundred years ago woke up after only sleeping for a year, because their city was not affected at all.

And the humans who hibernated in the land of the dead were left behind because of the changes that happened that year, and their specific awakening time is unpredictable. After breaking out of the cocoon, they may be attacked by white walkers.

Lu Buer thought that this was the reason why he woke up in the land of the dead, but he didn't expect that there would be such a strange bug hidden in Aurora's virtual helmet, and this weird thing was actually attached to the human brain!

It's ridiculous.

What were his parents researching when they were alive?

"Why were we sealed?"

Someone couldn't help asking.

Qingmu said calmly: "The most mainstream view at present is that humans violated the ancient taboos and suffered terrible punishment from heaven. In the crisis, someone awakened the Kabbalah Tree of Life, and humans must evolve to deal with the invasion of the White Walkers. At that time, about 800 million people entered hibernation. They were judged to have evolutionary talents and completed preliminary evolution in the cocoon."

He pointed to himself: "I am also a cocooner who woke up in the Land of Rebirth. I broke out of the cocoon about ten years earlier than you. I have experienced everything you have experienced. Anyone who may have the talent for evolution will receive a virtual helmet in various ways. Of course, there will inevitably be some fish that slip through the net, and there is nothing we can do about it."

Lu Buer was stunned.

The earth changed dramatically, and the sacred tree revived.

The White Walkers invaded, and humans slept in the cocoon to evolve.

And all of this is inextricably linked to Aurora Technology.

His parents are also one of them!

In the oppressive silence, Officer An couldn't help but ask: "So, the "Pure Land" launched by Aurora Technology has never been a game? Then what about those who didn't receive the helmets back then? How are they?"

This is also the question that all cocoon breakers want to ask. After five hundred years of sleep, their former families may no longer be able to see each other.

At that moment, they felt that their lives collapsed.

There is no meaning to live anymore.

"Those people, they witnessed the changes in the new world with their own eyes, but their lives have not changed much from before. Some people need to move to another city to live again because their place of residence has become a place of rebirth, and some people seize the opportunity to become rich overnight."

Aoki glanced at them: "Of course, I know what you want to ask most. In fact, your lives have not completely collapsed. Because from a certain point of view, when the new era begins, time no longer has meaning. Those who did not have the talent for evolution before the era could also choose to seal their property, enter the cocoon and sleep, waiting for their families to wake up."

He He took out a tablet and showed it to everyone: "Most of you here have dormant family members and spouses waiting for you to wake up. This is very common for you cocoon breakers and their families in the Land of Rebirth."

The cocoon breakers were stunned. Some were ecstatic, while others burst into tears, because they seemed to feel at this moment the longing that spanned a full five hundred years...

In five hundred years, in the new era of universal evolution, human civilization has progressed rapidly, and possessed extraordinary powers that only exist in imagination. It is needless to think about how wonderful this new world is.

But some people gave up that kind of life and chose to be sealed in the cocoon, waiting for you to wake up, as if without you, no matter how wonderful this world is, it would lose its meaning.

The cocoon breakers were originally full of fear and alienation of this new era, and even felt like abandoned children abandoned by the times. However, at this moment, they suddenly felt warmth and hope again, and the bond of blood once again connected them with the world.

For a time, there were mixed feelings.

I just wanted to leave the Land of Rebirth as soon as possible.

Wake up the former family members and hug them tightly.

Some people are happy, while others are sad.

Because not everyone has dormant family members waiting for them.

Lu Buer didn't feel anything, because his parents had died long ago.

He Sai didn't feel anything either, because his parents reorganized their families after their divorce, and pushed him around like a burden. He didn't think there was anyone waiting for him in the new world.

Qingmu shook his head, looked out the window and sneered: "As for the cause of all this, wasn't it mentioned in the expansion pack released by Aurora Technology that year? The sacred tree in the Arctic, the civilization of the gods, the glory of the gods. The ancient myths are not fabricated, because they really dug out the bodies of the gods from the end of the world!"

His smile was playful: "It's just that you didn't take it seriously."

The cocoon breakers looked at each other, digesting the huge amount of information.

Some cocoon breakers were desperate, because they had no chance to choose at all. They put on helmets without knowing it and fell asleep. The wealth and status they once had disappeared in an instant, and they thought they were deceived!

"Aurora Technology, Aurora Technology!"

They grabbed their hair and broke down crying.

Qingmu sneered: "According to existing research, when the White Walkers first appeared in front of the world, the first prey was those who had the talent for evolution but did not enter the cocoon to sleep. Hibernation is a kind of protection for you."

The cocoon breakers shuddered.

They have experienced the horror of the White Walkers.

It's simply a nightmare.

In this way, being sealed in the cocoon is a good thing.

Otherwise, even your life will be gone.

"Five hundred years have passed, and there are still about 50 million humans who have not yet broken out of their cocoons. Most of them are in the land of the dead. If you don't want to live in this era, you can also apply to return to the cocoon and sleep. This is a right that only people before the era can enjoy. People born after the new era cannot enter the cocoon. But in any case, you should take a good look at this world." Aoki glanced at them and pressed the radio broadcast.

The sound of the radio channel sounded in the cabin.

"Notice, an unknown life forbidden zone has been discovered in North America, located in Florida. The life fluctuations of the cocoon breakers have been detected. Request the army to intervene and rescue."

"Mount Fuji, located in the south-central part of Honshu Island, Yingzhou, will soon be confirmed as the land of the dead. The life forbidden zone is being formed. Tourists will be prohibited from climbing in the near future, and the army is being dispatched."

"Emergency notice, there are suspected traces of aliens in the Gangrinboqi Mountains. Please pay attention to safety for nearby residents and tourists. Ordinary people must hire evolvers for protection. Thank you for your cooperation!"

These broadcasts sounded like a fairy tale to the cocoon breakers.

Qingmu said calmly: "There are about 174 life forbidden areas in the world, and Fengcheng where you were before is one of them. Those places where sacred trees grow are forbidden areas that cannot be set foot on. Therefore, you will be sent to a nearby city, which is Linhai City."

"Boss."

Someone came over, holding a tablet in his hand, and said respectfully: "The information fragments of the land of rebirth have been sorted out, please take a look."

"Connect to the sacred intelligence network and start analyzing."

Qingmu took the tablet, and the screen showed a data report. They took pictures of the area after the battle, and combined with the various traces left at the scene, restored the battle scene.
