Chapter 455: Eat It!

Outside the world barrier.

Li Qi's soul turned into a ball of light and was ejected from the colorful world sea.

But as a ball of light, he had a very long line under him, connected to a certain "world bubble".

From a distance, it looked like a kite released by the world bubble.

As his consciousness spread, Li Qi looked back and saw the world bubble he came out of, and also saw the line connecting him to the world bubble, and his heart was finally at ease.

When he came out, Li Qi was a little worried whether the devil's contract could fulfill its promise.

But now it seems that the ability introduction of the devil's contract did not lie to him.

It's just that Li Qiao is pitiful. In order to avoid the devil's contract from failing to achieve its ability, causing Li Qi to be ejected from the world and unable to return, Li Qi let Li Qiao return to his soul to sleep in advance.

The poor sister didn't play in the new world for long, and she went back to sleep.

Li Qi mourned for her for a while, and decided to compensate her in the next world, and then looked at the crystal clear world barrier in front of him, thinking about where to "take the bite" better.

In the past, his ability was to swallow a corner of the world instinctively. He only needed to rely on his own instincts and didn't have to worry too much.

But now he took the initiative to 'speak', but he didn't know how to do it.

But Li Qi also had a way.

Since he didn't know how to do it, he would just leave everything to instinct.

With his consciousness restrained and no longer suppressing his instincts, the soul light ball formed by Li Qi himself gradually approached the light ball formed by the world below.

But... there was no movement.

Li Qi's 'superpower' that allowed him to reincarnate infinitely failed to activate, and he didn't bite off the world barrier as he expected.

"... You still picked food? Eat quickly!"

Li Qi urged with his own thoughts as his consciousness went deep into his soul to touch his soul core.

But his ability was motionless as if he was upset.

Li Qi: "..."

Could it be... that only the first time in each world can eat the world barrier?

Or did his ability feel that there was something wrong with this world, so it didn't activate?

If that was the case, when he first came to this world, was it because of his willpower that he was unable to eat the world barrier, or was it because he simply didn't want to use his ability?

No, when he first came to this world, the feeling of wanting to take a bite still existed...

Circling around the world barrier, Li Qi recalled the feeling when he first came to this world, and at the same time looked for a good place to bite.

Finally, when he got to a certain place, Li Qi felt the feeling of wanting to eat something.

Just like a hungry person seeing delicious food, a thirsty person seeing spring water, Li Qi had the thought of "wanting to eat" from the depths of his soul.

The feeling of hunger was like a man-eating beast, almost devouring Li Qi, his thoughts stagnated for a moment, and time seemed to be still for a moment. When Li Qi came to his senses, he felt that he had eaten something.

It seemed to be part of the world.

Then...

His consciousness fell into darkness.

...

The time of the world seemed to have accelerated in an instant.

After the apocalypse, the major dungeons were attacked by unknown forces in the first few months.

In order to prevent the city from being attacked again, the remaining forces of various countries united together to form the last human front, using the power of strange objects to exchange what they have and build a last city for mankind.

This last city of mankind is close to the center of the earth, relying on the temperature of the center of the earth for warmth, and because all humans have moved underground, the ground has become a forbidden area for humans.

The first five years of mankind were spent under such circumstances.

During this period, more human cities were built underground. There was no pollution, no viruses, and no attacks from unknown organizations. Humans actually survived in such a harsh environment.

This proves that humans are indeed a very resilient species, and that technological civilization is not as fragile as imagined.

Even during this period, humans found a way to reduce the cost and truly sign a contract with strange objects.

Everything seems to be moving in a good direction.

But such "good" is only superficial.

Because the top leaders of mankind know that the end of the world is still going on, and their crisis is far from over.

But not many people care about this now. Before the danger really comes to their heads, not many people will care about this.

After all, most people are already doing their best just to survive, so how can they have the time to pay attention to other things?

Unless... the crisis really comes to them again.

"Minister Zhao! Contact pollution is detected above the underground city, and it is approaching the underground city at a very fast speed!"

In the office of the director of the Operations Department of the Pollution and Abnormal Event Countermeasures Bureau (formerly the 057 Bureau), a male secretary in a suit reported to Zhao Hong in the office.

Zhao Hong's expression remained unchanged and he issued an order:

"Let the third action team deal with it, and contact the logistics department to prepare for the transfer. If the pollution cannot be stopped, the underground city will be transferred immediately!"

"The transfer destination is-?"

"Do you still need to ask? One of the alternative locations selected before. By the way, don't forget to contact other underground cities to avoid bumping into each other when transferring to the same location."

After Zhao Hong finished speaking, he waved his hand to the secretary and asked him to go down to deal with the matter.

I turned my head and looked at the brightly lit underground city outside the window, with some memories flashing in my eyes.

Humans will burst out unimaginable power when facing difficulties.

In just over five years, humans have mastered the method of using strange objects to transfer the entire city.

In this way, humans can move the entire underground city to a safe location before pollution arrives.

For this reason, humans are also digging holes everywhere underground on the earth, just like rabbits digging holes everywhere.

Many caves are empty, there will be no life in these places, and of course there will be no pollution, and such places are just suitable to become alternative living spaces for humans.

Currently, three large underground cities with more than 10 million people in the world have survived to this day in this way.

As for the problems of life such as underground oxygen and crop growth, they are also handled by relevant strange objects.

Five years is enough for humans to transition from technological civilization to strange object civilization.

Nowadays, the most common thing in human society is strange objects. All kinds of things are turning into strange objects, and even a generator has become a strange object.

Nowadays, most members of the Countermeasures Bureau have combat-type strange objects in their hands, including Zhao Hong now.

He touched the ring on his left middle finger and looked up at the sky of the underground city, as if he could see the contact pollution coming straight to the underground city.

After staring for a long time, Zhao Hong's secretary ran back and reported to him in surprise:

"Minister, the pollution has been dealt with and the crisis alarm has been lifted!"

"Well, I know, you can go down."

Relieved in his heart, Zhao Hong said to the secretary calmly on the surface.

After the secretary left, he let out a long breath and leaned back on the chair.

Because the Countermeasures Bureau has limited manpower, people with qualifications like Zhao Hong naturally became one of the top leaders of the Countermeasures Bureau.

Now he is the director of the Action Department of the Countermeasures Bureau, in charge of all the actions of the Countermeasures Bureau regarding pollution and unrest in the city, and he is a powerful director.

But despite this, Zhao Hong is not happy.

In the past few years as a director, he has lived in fear every day. Every time he deals with pollution, he worries whether he will bring pollution to the city.

In the past few years, a lot of pollution has been dealt with, but a lot of pollution has not been dealt with. Most of the pollution cannot even be touched, and the city can only be moved in advance.

Even so, many people died in the No. 1 underground city where he is now.

Now the number of pollution invasions is increasing, and Zhao Hong doesn't know how long he can hold on.

"Hu... Forget it, go back to the town to see."

After finally getting off work, Zhao Hong decided to go back to the Dream Town to see Meng An's situation.

Five years ago, after receiving the knight and the little bug, Meng An's body fell into a dormant state for some reason.

Of course, saying it is dormant is just a way of understanding.

The real situation should be that the main consciousness disappeared.

Meng An's body is still maintaining the instructions after the main consciousness left, such as eating, drinking, going to the toilet, sleeping, and exercising on his own.

Just like a robot.

This situation has lasted for five years, and there has been no change every time Zhao Hong goes back.

He even took a certain Golden Immortal in the Golden Immortal Map to see Meng An's situation, but even the Golden Immortal has no good way to deal with this symptom of "soul leaving the body".

The Golden Immortal can't find a way, and Zhao Hong is even more helpless. All he can do in these years is to go to the town from time to time to see Meng An's situation and hope that he can wake up, that's all.

Today is the same. Taking advantage of the free time after get off work, Zhao Hong returned to the dream town as usual to see Meng An, and also visited other residents in the town.

Because the city when these town residents left was either sealed or turned into ruins, most people here cannot leave the town. The only channel to access information from the outside world is Zhao Hong, so Zhao Hong will tell them about the development of the outside world every time he comes back.

At the same time, it also gives them a kind of confidence that the world will definitely return to its original appearance.

Originally, Zhao Hong's schedule today should be no different from usual.

But today is a little different, because...

"Oh? Uncle Zhao, you are here."

Meng An, who has grown into a teenager, took the initiative to greet Zhao Hong.

Seeing the smile on Meng An's face, Zhao Hong's eyes were a little wet for some reason, and after a blink, tears of joy flowed out.

Five years of companionship, Zhao Hong has long regarded Meng An as his own child.

Now seeing the child who has become a 'vegetative person' finally wake up, Zhao Hong is of course excited.

This makes him feel that his five years of persistence have not been in vain.
