Chapter 277: Maid, Holy Temple
It should be difficult to build a large-scale cemetery under the scorching sun.
Compared with this, it is much easier to make a fake video using imaging technology.
In Nova District 12, the time was about the transition between October 7 and 8, and the huge scorching sun was a little west again.
Facing the scorching sun, the news on the dome of District 12 continued.
At this moment, the camera in the video was passing through the tombstones one by one, focusing on every black and white photo and name on the tombstone.
Looking at this extremely absurd scene, Li Feng suddenly felt that the video technology that could make a fake look real was really a very useful thing.
If he had not seen the so-called cemetery with his own eyes, he would have believed the video on the dome now.
‘In fact... the world is about to be destroyed, and the temperature is so high. It is not unreasonable that the deceased cannot be buried properly...’
Regarding the video being played on the dome, which was used by the District 12 authorities to deceive the people, Li Feng thought about the necessity of doing so.
He had experienced the end of the world before, and it was really difficult to deal with everything other than survival perfectly at that time, and it was not easy to take into account people's feelings.
When all kinds of resources are limited, human feelings can only be prioritized at the back.
In that life, they treated the remains by cremation and then collective burial.
The reason for doing so was actually more to avoid problems such as plague.
They really couldn't build tombs and monuments alone, facing a large number of corpses and dangerous environments.
As for Xinxing, Xinxing couldn't do it either, perhaps because of the high temperature, or perhaps because it couldn't invest a lot of manpower in this area.
In short, the cemetery does not exist, but the question is why they lied about things they couldn't do and made fake videos to deceive people.
As for the reason for deception...
While Li Feng was thinking, the voice of the female host on the dome sounded again in conjunction with the picture. This time, her voice was sonorous and tenacious in grief:
"We look at these photos and read these names...
They are not others, they are our dearest parents, our brothers and sisters who are as close as brothers, and our beloved children...
They are not others! They are our relatives!
That day, when they were scorching under the sun, how much they missed us, how much they wanted to see the new world.
So, what reason do we have to be lazy? What reason do we have to be lazy?
We can't let our parents down! Let our brothers and sisters down! Let our children down!
With infinite longing for our loved ones, we must seize every opportunity to produce! We must work hard!
We will create a new world within 15 days, we will enter the new world for them, we will..."
Well...
As for the reason for deception, it is self-evident.
In addition, Li Feng looked at the crowd on the street below, and saw that they were sad but more excited. It can only be said that human emotions are too easy to be used.
If someone had this ability in the zombie apocalypse he had experienced...
Well, Li Feng suddenly wanted to shiver, and suddenly felt very lucky.
Sighing, no longer caring about how Nova urged people to produce, Li Feng retracted his attention and only focused on his own tasks.
He came here to investigate the purpose of the Nova players snatching the Cinnabar Cup.
So in the final analysis, he still had to investigate the five divine revelation temples.
From the video just now, Li Feng saw the words of the Endless Sea engraved on the temple, and the Cinnabar Cup might also be there.
Time passed little by little, and the sun outside the cover was a little west again.
Just when Li Feng thought that the news on the dome was about to end, the female host suddenly became energetic and excited to broadcast the next news. She said she was going to announce a good news.
Li Feng admitted that he was a little curious when he heard the three words "good news", so he paused the idea of leaving again to see what else they could do.
"Today! Today! The greatest maids of our new star came to our District 12 with hope!
And what makes us proud is that in our District 12, today another 200 female compatriots voluntarily chose to join the maids.
Because of the scorching sun and the busy life in the past, our new star has lost too many people and too many children.
And the maids will increase the population of our new star.
When we enter the new world, the life they gave birth to will also come, and our new world will be full of children's laughter.
Such great maids, we must respect them, welcome them, support them, cooperate with them, and work with them..."
Listening to this passionate broadcast, Li Feng was really confused. He didn't know if the facts were what he thought.
At the same time, at the end of a main road in District 12, among the crowd of people all dressed in white.
A team of young women in bright red loose long skirts came over, and the people they passed by consciously gave way to them.
They are the maids mentioned by the female host.
There were many maids, all wearing extremely loose, bright red long skirts that looked like maternity clothes, and white hats like lampshades.
As they walked, the maids' bright red, wide long skirts swayed, and from the high top floor, they looked like a pool of blood flowing in.
Looking at this scene, Li Feng almost understood that the facts were similar to what he had guessed just now, so dirty that it was unbelievable.
But the question is, do we need pregnant women in the end of the world? Do we need newborns in the end of the world?
In the face of the survival crisis, the vulnerable people who need to be taken care of will inevitably become the most helpless people and the most likely to be abandoned.
Li Feng has also personally experienced the end of the world. In those not-so-good memories, regardless of whether it is morally tenable or not, the people who are struggling to survive are indeed avoiding pregnant women and newborns.
So what Xinxing is doing now is totally unreasonable.
And with what he just saw, it is difficult for Li Feng to believe any of Xinxing's high-sounding rhetoric now.
Even if those rhetoric sounds reasonable and contagious.
In the sunlight filtered by the hood, Li Feng frowned deeply as he watched the team of maids flowing in like blood.
Perhaps because of those bright red dresses like blood, Li Feng suddenly remembered the cinnabar cup and the performance he had seen on the first floor of the Sad Theater.
The cinnabar cup was born on the delivery bed, and the parturient was the medium for its birth.
Li Feng suddenly remembered this and felt his scalp tingling.
He stood quietly on the top floor, looking at the tall buildings in District 12.
What kind of world is Nova? In the players' chat channel, the technology here is advanced, the people are united, and they fight against the destruction of the world together.
Li Feng used to think so, but today, he felt that there was only absurdity, fooling, and cruel exploitation here.
"Dong-Dong-Dong-"
It seemed that the sound of the hourly time was ringing. Through the date displayed on the dome, Li Feng saw that it was now October 9th at midnight.
There was a deviation from his own estimation of the time. Li Feng turned on the system and checked the standard time displayed by the system:
October 8th at midnight.
'Haha, it's really not surprising. '
In short, no matter what day it is, a new day has begun.
The news on the dome finally ended. In the exciting and inspiring march, the crowd on the street below began to line up in an orderly and persevering manner to return to the high-rise building.
It is impossible to rest. They have to start a new day of work.
Li Feng also heard from the closing remarks of the news just now that the only rest time for the group of people below was to watch the news for 20 minutes before midnight every day.
As for what to do if they are physically exhausted, in the technologically advanced world, they have pills that can quickly restore people's energy.
If the pills don't work, they still have a medical hospital for treatment and rest, but Li Feng is skeptical about the treatment there.
The video on the dome disappeared, and only one day ahead of the previous day was left.
In just ten minutes, the dense crowds on the street have now all entered the building.
On the empty and quiet street, only the group of maids in red dresses remained.
Under the arrangement of the gray-clothed nanny, they were divided into many small teams, and then led by the nanny, they entered each high-rise building one by one.
The sun in the sky continued to move westward, and compared with the dazzling sunlight just now, it was finally a little darker.
All kinds of passionate voices and emotions faded, and the dome and streets of District 12 returned to silence.
On the top floor of a tall building, Li Feng raised his neck slightly and unbuttoned the collar of his shirt. The hood protecting Area 12 must have an oxygen production system, but Li Feng still felt that he was having difficulty breathing.
Endless labor, purposeful deception, the Temple of Divine Revelation related to the Endless Sea, maids who existed for unknown reasons, not to mention the total population that did not match that of a hundred years ago...
Obviously, Nova is far from being as simple as it seems.
The sun continued to go west, and the heat subsided a little. On the rooftop, Li Feng stood for a while. After calming down, he opened the world ladder and headed for the Temple of Divine Revelation in Area 1 of Nova.
...
The world ladder is indeed a very useful thing. It can not only travel to various worlds, but also realize fast travel in this world.
October 8, Nova.
Because he had obtained the specific address, Li Feng's process of sneaking to the vicinity of the Temple in Area 1 was very smooth.
Unlike Area 12, which is a city with tall buildings, Li Feng discovered that Area 1 was originally supposed to be a grain producing area mainly used for growing crops.
Looking far away, you can still see a large area of hazy green.
At this time, the sun in Area 1 is setting.
Although the temperature here is still hot like the evening in midsummer, the dim shadows of the sunset are everywhere.
Finding a hidden place, Li Feng looked forward facing the red sunset.
On the construction site not far in front of him, there stood a tall and majestic building similar to an ancient temple church.
From a distance, Li Feng judged that the height of this temple was about the same as a building with more than ten floors in the player world.
It is indeed magnificent and tall.
As for the construction progress of the temple, the video just now was not fake.
The temple has been capped at present. Its front is a huge stone gate more than ten meters high, and in front of the stone gate is a row of heavy round stone pillars.
Now, some workers are laying the stairs in front of the stone pillars, and some are carving patterns on the stone gate and walls.
Because he saw it with his own eyes, Li Feng now felt that the architectural style of this temple was the style of the Endless Sea.
However, Li Feng couldn't remember which period and which race this style belonged to in the Endless Sea because he didn't know much about it.
He felt that it was a bit like the architecture of mermaids, a bit like the architecture of the ancestors he had seen in books, and a bit like...
'Theatre of Sorrow? '
Li Feng didn't know much about architectural design, but inexplicably, he always felt that some details were very similar to the Sad Theater.
With many bad feelings in his heart, Li Feng prepared to sneak to the vicinity of the temple to take a closer look.
Thanks to the fact that it was already evening, Li Feng used the Stealth skill in a very hidden place to enter the Shadow Realm.
The world in front of him instantly turned black and white, but this time, Li Feng did not walk directly to the temple in a stealth state as before.
He stood still and used the power of the Godhead to spread his mind power and extend it in the direction of the temple.
The world in front of him was still distorted black and white, but at this time, the scene that Li Feng "saw" in his mind had turned into vivid colors, accompanied by the conversations between the workers.
Entering the Shadow Realm can ensure that Li Feng will not be discovered by the workers coming and going here, and using the power of the Godhead can allow Li Feng to quickly and safely investigate the temple.
Indeed, it is much faster than walking to the temple in the Shadow Realm. In just a moment, Li Feng's mind power has reached the door of the temple.
Afterwards, he used his telekinesis to circle the temple and carefully looked at every carved pattern and text.
After looking at these patterns, Li Feng found that the stone doors and walls of the Divine Revelation Temple in Area 1 were basically carved with patterns related to forests, trees, and valleys.
Li Feng thought carefully and found that these patterns were very similar to the patterns on the background boards used in the performance on the first floor of the Sad Theater.
In that very bloody performance, the woman who gave birth to the cinnabar cup lived in a wooden house in the deep woods.
At that time, in order to show the woods outside the wooden house on the stage of the theater, many background boards with forest trees painted on them were used when setting up the scene.
Because he was forced to perform on stage as a knight who needed to castrate himself, Li Feng was deeply impressed by that performance.
He remembered clearly that the trees painted on those background boards were not completely realistic. Many of them were abstract, strange and weird patterns that resembled trees.
But at this moment, those abstract patterns appeared on the temple in Area 1 of Nova.
Moreover, hundreds of carving workers were following the drawings and controlling the machines to carve more strange and bizarre patterns representing trees and forests on the stone doors and walls of the temple at a very fast speed.
Looking at these patterns that could not be the same due to coincidence, Li Feng took a deep breath.
He was now 100% sure that the temple was related to the Endless Sea.
After reading the patterns, he then looked at the text that was more direct than the patterns.
But unfortunately, because it was still under construction, the workers of the Xinxing Carving Temple only carved a few words.
And because they did not recognize the Endless Sea characters, they only carved them as patterns.
This resulted in the text that Li Feng saw now being scattered here and there.
From the very scattered and messy text, Li Feng could not tell what the text would form.
"Pop."
There was a slight sound of pulling down the switch, and several very bright beams of light shot out.
It is impossible to rest. Even if the sun sets, the workers of Xinxing will continue to shine and heat.
Ignoring these, Li Feng extended his telekinesis up the long steps, then passed through the tall stone door, and finally entered the magnificent hall inside the temple.
However, as soon as the scene inside the hall came into view, Li Feng saw something that he was very familiar with.
