Chapter 219 The Best Ending, the Worst Ending
The bottom floor of the laboratory.
The center of the sealing array.
Lu Changsheng regained his sight from the darkness again, and his eyes had long since recovered.
Tina's body lay in his arms, gradually becoming transparent.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth rose, as if the smile in the dream had not yet faded.
Tina's expression did not show any pain or regret, only satisfaction and tranquility.

Lu Changsheng's palm gradually could not feel the weight of Tina.
As the last breath dissipated.
An invisible breeze blew, sending Tina back to the embrace of her hometown, and she disappeared completely.
There is no specific concept of time in the dream.
Lu Changsheng didn't know how many days or months he had stayed in there.
He just felt that he seemed to be very familiar with the ordinary girl born in the [Ancient Continent].
Like me, she has family, lover, and friends.
She stamps her feet when she is angry and dances when she is happy.
She is not a "native".
She is not a "chosen one".
She is just a person.
She is the same as Lu Changsheng, Zhou Yi, and any other powerful person in the world.
Just a person.
Lu Changsheng seemed to understand why his predecessor asked him to do this at the last moment.
"Wild grass should not die in a corner where no one cares..."
"Wild grass should live in the free wind."
Lu Changsheng murmured in a low voice.
After a long silence.
A faint sigh sounded in the empty cave.
This is the best ending.
It is also the worst ending.
......
Forward to the base.
The alarm sounded a few days ago has been lifted.
The advance troops have also returned to the camp one after another.
A large amount of supplies filled the military vehicles. They did not dare to make any stops for supplies, so they rushed straight into the crack.
The [present world] was also busy.
Receiving supplies, counting the quantity, and classifying and summarizing all required a large number of people.
With the [Ancient Rift] as the center, people on both sides were very busy.
As of today, the Ancient Rift has been open for more than six days. According to previous practice, it is about to close.
Every time it was opened, some people would delay leaving because of greed for some supplies, resulting in themselves being trapped in the ancient continent.
The Demon Slayer Division learned from experience and stipulated that no one can leave the camp after more than six days.
It is better to lose a day of exploration time than to go too extreme.
After all, if you can't come back, the mountains of gold and silver are just fake mountains.
Class 197 has also started to pack their luggage. After all the supplies have been evacuated, it will be their turn to return.
On the last day, they could do nothing but wait boringly in the temporary tent they built.
"Guanshan, do we really not have to wait for that adult?" Liang Yuxin looked at the hillside not far away and asked with some concern.
Guanshan had returned to the forward base yesterday.
Lu Changsheng briefly explained everything that had happened before to his apprentice, but only omitted some of the conversations about the first generation chief.
He told his apprentice not to spread anything that happened in the laboratory before things were clear.
Then he told Guanshan to let them go first, and he would leave the rift at the last moment. If he didn't come out, he would use the teleportation necklace to summon him again.
A teleportation necklace costs one thousand mall coins, so save as much as you can.
"It's okay, Master will be fine." Guanshan looked along Liang Yuxin's line of sight and said calmly.
"It's just a pity. Since you entered the laboratory, we can no longer hunt those high-level monsters. We can only hunt small wilds. I always feel that we have lost hundreds of millions."
Qiao Jiang grabbed his chest with some pain, looking reluctant.
"We can't always rely on Guanshan. This time when I go back, I will exchange all my military merits for lizard dragon blood. Either I break through or I starve to death!"
"Damn it, the extraordinary awakeners are nothing!"
"No wonder the front line recruits people, at least they have to be walkers." Wang Sheng's tone is a bit like a death sentence.
"It's not that bad. We can bring that set of armor back, which is already a great achievement. We should be content." Qiao Xiaohui said comfortingly.
"I secretly took a look. The armor was secretly sent out of the rift on the day it was delivered to the headquarters. If it wasn't something very valuable, why would the headquarters be so anxious?"
Qiao Xiaohui's words made everyone look forward to it.
In the temporary tent, a burst of cheerful atmosphere suddenly surged.
"I'm just thinking about going back to take a shower. Six days, six days, sleeping with armor every day, I think I'm going to go bad." Liang Yuxin fell down and laid her head on Qiao Xiaohui's elastic thigh.
"I can't smell anything anymore. I guess I often burrow into the soil, so my sense of smell is dull." Qiao Jiang shrugged and said indifferently.
After the conversation started, everyone began to imagine what they wanted to do after returning to the [real world].
The chattering was very lively.
After half a day of waiting.
The order to retreat was finally issued.
Everyone in Class 197 carried their luggage and joined the mighty army returning.
Just before stepping into the rift, Guan Shan suddenly stopped, turned back again, and took a look at this completely different world.
"Guan Shan, are you still worried about that adult?" Liang Yuxin came to Guan Shan and said, "How about we wait a little longer?"
Guan Shan shook his head and chuckled, "I just want to take another look at what the world my master saved looks like."
"Oh, by the way, [Present World] was also saved by my master."
Guan Shan walked forward with a proud look on his face.
Liang Yuxin followed him with a confused look on her face. She couldn't figure out what [Present World] meant for a long time, and what saving the world meant...
......
Ancient Continent Laboratory.
Core test area.
Lu Changsheng wiped the blood that splashed on his body and shook his palms stained with demon blood.
He listened to all the recordings left by Zhou Yi again and confirmed that he had not missed any of them.
"No wonder the array spirit guarding the door mistook my identity when I entered the laboratory."
"It turns out that the array you left behind uses its own aura as a way of identification."
Lu Changsheng said to himself.
Since he received Zhou Yi's memory, he completely understood the operation logic of the laboratory.
The most basic technical support of this seemingly modern laboratory comes entirely from Zhou Yi's mysterious array skills.
After sending Gou Shengzi away, Lu Changsheng first killed a circle of monsters on the ancient continent, until the corpses of the monsters filled up all the space in the [Xuantian Mirror], and then returned to the laboratory again.
He was still a little unwilling, and wanted to see if he could open the message hidden in the array with the highest authority.
But he still didn't get more information.
"Zhou Yi..."
"What kind of person are you?"
"What is the long river of destiny you mentioned?"
"I...will I follow the same path as you?"
"Is this also one of the futures you see?"
"What does Tu Luo mean by what he said before he died, that we are all 'poor creatures' abandoned by fate?"
Lu Changsheng's eyes wandered aimlessly, asking one question after another.
No one could answer his question.
In the quiet laboratory, only Lu Changsheng's voice was constantly echoing.
