This time of traveling is an indescribable feeling, as if it is hot, cold, sore, numb, and painful all mixed together.
But Milo had no time to pay attention to these changes. When his senses recovered, he immediately felt the very distorted order around him.
Rigid, sluggish, fixed in operation, but always subject to distortion and reversal of the power of order.
After just a brief contact, some metallic buds sprouted from Milo's arm.
He looked around, and the sky he saw was clear. A big sun in the sky emitted immeasurable light and heat, which was scattered on the earth in a very regular pattern. The gravel boiled under the high temperature, and the air began to distort, making the
The surrounding scene was as blurry as a mirage.
"This is……"
Milo took a deep breath, activated the vitality in his body, forced the chaotic atmosphere in his body to the lower part of his left forearm, and watched the densely packed buds growing out of his fingers and joints, and the leaves that looked like crystals and chips exuded a strange smell.
The aura is still flickering in some places, constantly receiving a large amount of information from the surroundings, trying to pass it on to Milo's mind.
A faint spiritual light appeared in Milo's eyes, his energy was restrained, and his whole person fell into deathly silence, resisting the order and chaos of the outside world. At the same time, the crystals and chips on his arms no longer emitted brilliance.
But his state did not last long. The gravel under his feet began to twist, as if something was working underneath.
The next second, a huge, worm-like, lamprey-like entity emerged from the soil. Its unfolded mouthparts were filled with densely packed blades, and the center should be where the throat was, exuding a metallic texture.
It is red light, but what is strange is that the huge monster shell is close to the carapace of an insect and the outer skin tissue of a worm, which is both strong and tough.
"Beep! Found a mildly mechanized life, please clean it up and rescue it! Beep! Found a mildly humanoid mechanized life, please rescue..."
A tiny electric current was running inside the giant monster's body. When it beeped for the first time, a laser was emitted from the light spot in the center of its huge mouthparts, trying to cut off Milo's arm. When it beeped for the second time,
, Milo had already arrived in front of him. He raised his sword and gathered his energy. Following the sunlight, he cut the monster in front of him into two pieces, exposing a large number of metal structures and some bionic devices inside.
Some of the strange liquids quickly created wonderful scenes after being exposed to the air, suppressing the distorted order around them and making Milo feel a different kind of peace.
Milo could feel that these breaths contained a kind of power that resisted the mutations on his arms.
But similarly, Milo also has another corresponding twisted aura among these peaceful auras.
The so-called mutual resistance is actually to make the two mutations tend to be balanced.
'Where is this?'
Milo was a little curious. He cast a spell to check the monster in front of him, and found that some of the components inside it were still running. Subtle currents were also constantly transmitting information. At the same time, the twisted order in the entire void was also constantly eroding this
Monster body.
Slowly, Milo saw that the monster's body began to continuously metamorphose, becoming a crystal-like mechanical structure, and then began to weather rapidly, turning into an existence that was no different from the surrounding gravel.
Milo's eyes widened slightly. He saw that it was not the monster's body that was weathering, but that the world was extracting its essence and making it disappear.
The reason for all this is simply that the source of this world has been exhausted, and the will of the world is trying to collect all reusable energy in a way that is almost crazy, but extremely rational.
Because Milo is still alive, the world will not take action against Milo, but the monster has lost its ability to move and does not have much repair value, so it can directly drain its essence and concepts and return to its origin.
'Is this world already so barren? And how did this kind of operation come into being? Does extraction and transformation not consume energy?' Milo looked at the void and narrowed his eyes slightly. He took advantage of the changes in the previous source flow.
, vaguely seeing part of the essence of this world.
He followed the connection and walked in one direction, and saw a small ruins.
No, according to the logic of the world's previous performance, this is not a ruin, but a small town that is intact but has lost its residents.
Milo walked towards the town. What he saw was a large open space and a large number of low-rise houses. These houses had no windows or doors. They looked like huge semicircular bulges and squares.
The machine is cleaning the surrounding environment to ensure that sand and dust do not cover the area.
When Milo walked in, the square machine suddenly came to Milo's side, and the camera-like device above started to operate.
"Beep! Humanoid life has been discovered, request for certification! Beep! Beep! Beep! Mildly humanoid mechanized life has been discovered, request for rescue..."
Along with the rapid sound, the semicircular spheres opened automatically, and mechanical creations that looked very similar to humans came out, surrounding Milo. There were faint crystals on their arms that gave off a faint light, and they were surrounded by each other.
They are connected in series to form an energy barrier similar to a barrier, covering Milo.
Although the level of this energy barrier was not high, Milo still secretly made secret gestures and was ready to take action at any time.
To Milo's expectation, the energy barrier in front of him did not press down further, but stopped one meter in front of Milo, constantly emitting a soft glow.
The frequency of the radiance is the same as the flickering frequency of the leaves like crystals and chips below Milo's left forearm, and then the barrier flashes faster. Milo can feel that the flickering frequency of the crystals and chips on his hand has also increased, but it is limited.
Due to Milo's own suppression, Milo's acceleration was much slower.
"Beep! The internal suppression mechanization mode has been detected and the frequency is being converted!"
As sounds rang out from each mechanical object, the flickering frequency of the barrier's light began to slow down, once again matching the frequency of Milo's body.
Then, the crystals and chips in Milo's hand began to crack, and little bits of light scattered, being assimilated by the surrounding mechanical creations.
The bodies of the mechanical creations that swallowed these streams of light experienced a certain degree of mutation, and crystals and chips began to grow on the surface of their bodies. However, these mechanical creations ignored them and just continued to scan and analyze them.
"Beep! Unable to identify the crystal structure, similar comparison is being made, and the database is being connected... The large database connection is completed... The small database is being connected... Beep! After comparison, the crystal structure of the living organism in front of us is 70% similar to that of most plants.
Six or more, and the similarity of some plants reaches more than 180%, which is basically determined to be unknown plant alienated humanoid life... According to relevant regulations... recognize its human identity and recognize its first-class citizen status..."
"Dip! Dear first-class citizen, welcome to the House of Nature! You are the 88888th citizen after the beginning of the new era. All mechanical life in the House of Nature once again gives you the most sincere
Greetings! Please come with me!"
The most complete mechanical creation came to Milo and guided Milo to go inside.
Milo looked around at the creations that were devouring the crystals and chips in his hands, and watched as their bodies continued to mutate. The mechanical creations that opened their mouths for guidance turned back and whispered: "Please don't worry about them, these infected machines will soon be gone."
After being cleaned and recycled, they can return to work in about three to six working days."
At this point, the mechanical creation paused for a moment and then said: "I'm very sorry, because of the lack of repairmen and engineers, as well as the lack of some parts, I cannot give an accurate time answer."
After hearing this, Milo thought for a moment, then looked at the creature and said, "Lead the way!"
"Okay! Thank you very much for your approval. Next, I will introduce our natural home to you!"
"The Natural Home was built in the 36th year of the New Era. It is one of the earliest high-end residences with a natural simulated environment. It has a complete ecological system and a natural simulated environment, which can bring more than 90% of the benefits to the living creatures living there.
A sense of real experience. What we have in front of us is the natural posture of the natural home."
Following the introduction of the mechanical creation, Milo saw a huge garden, in which lush vegetation and emerald green formed the main color, and various flowers were dotted in it. There were also sika deer, birds and other animals living in it. Unfortunately, these were all fake.
Plants are spliced together by tiny machines, and the interior of animals is also a mechanical structure. Everything is just a product of mechanical simulation.
But just as the mechanical creation said, the animals and plants in front of you are extremely lifelike. Apart from being lifeless and spiritual, it is almost impossible to tell the difference between them and the real thing simply from their appearance, which is consistent with more than 90% of the reality.
A sense of experience.
However, what is fake is fake after all. Milo cannot perceive any natural power in it. The only good thing is that in this environment, the distorted order seems to become a little peaceful. Of course, the essence of this peace is closer to
Suppress the chaotic ways and distortions in a more rigid, sluggish, fixed way.
Milo looked around and asked: "You said I am the 88888th citizen here, so where have the other citizens gone?"
In response to Milo's question, the mechanical creation paused for a moment, and then said: "Are you asking about the living conditions of the Nature House?"
"right!"
Milo soon got the answer: "Today, there are 23,247 registered residents of Nature House, and there are 766 current residents."
'Is there anyone alive?'
Milo looked around and sensed it again, but there was no life.
He raised his doubts, and the mechanical creation paused for a moment before giving the answer: "Their physical bodies have died, but their spirits still exist in Utopia, and because they are registered in the Home of Nature, in the records, they still exist
Be an inhabitant of nature’s home.”
"Utopia?"
Milo whispered softly, but the mechanical creature suddenly raised its voice and introduced Milo in an almost fanatical believer's tone: "Utopia, the greatest creation of mankind, the enemy of all chaos, the embodiment of the highest order, and the final storage place of civilization.
I would like to ask this citizen, are you willing to enter the Utopia?"
The fanatical tone and exaggerated expression made the mechanical creature's actions seem a bit distorted, but the description in its mouth made Milo very curious.
“What exactly is Utopia?”
"The greatest creation of mankind, the enemy of all chaos, the embodiment of the highest order, the last storage place of civilization..."
Repeated words came from the mouth of the mechanical creature. Milo frowned. At this time, a new voice came: "First-class citizen, please don't embarrass him. He is only a third-class intelligent machine and does not have strong self-logic ability.
.”
This voice is soft and sweet, except for a trace of rigidity and sluggishness that is difficult to erase. It can be said to be the gospel of ordinary voice control.
Milo turned around and saw a beautiful woman in white clothes with the triple qualities of a girl, a woman, a virtuous woman, and a mother. It looked at Milo, held up the hem of her skirt, and bowed slightly: "Welcome.
Come back, the new human master who appeared after the Utopia era!"
"Who are you?"
"I am the steward of the natural house and the manager of all mechanical creations here."
The woman maintains a bowed posture, showing surrender and obedience.
"Can you tell me everything that happens in this world?"
"As you wish."
As she spoke, the woman stood up, raised her hand slightly, and the light and shadow around her changed, forming a projection, showing the history of this world in front of Milo.
One hundred and twenty-seven years before the New Era, the breath of chaos was discovered by humans as a new energy source.
The aura of chaos, which was regarded as a perfect energy source at the time, covered every aspect of human life in just thirty years, and in the following ten years, human science and technology made leaps and bounds.
But soon, in the seventy-sixth year before the new era, the backlash of the breath of chaos arrived, and the order of the world was blurred.
The first change is the reproductive barrier between animals and plants. Animals and humans, humans and plants, plants and animals can all give birth to a new generation of creatures, and this mode of reproduction is still expanding, and can even affect dead things.
, allowing animals and machines, or even humans and machines, to give birth to new creatures.
"Therefore, the world fell into turmoil for thirty years until the arrival of Utopia."
Milo showed a true expression and listened as the other party continued to explain: "Although according to the existing records, Utopia is the highest creation of mankind, in fact Utopia is not a power within the world, but originates from outside the world.
, is an extraterrestrial place discovered accidentally by human beings during the most chaotic thirty years. They captured it, discovered its unique spiritual characteristics, and built a new spiritual order system with it as the core. To fight against the pervasive
The breath of chaos all over the world.”
"But unfortunately, this move was not successful. The pace of chaos has not stopped. It is still affecting the entire world, and it has gradually shifted from affecting fertility to affecting life itself. A large number of humans have mutated. In order to curb this
Phenomenon, mankind has proposed a plan to upload the spirit and live forever in the ideal land."
