The spreading traces are the concrete representation of life, with one end connected to the infinite past and the other end connected to the infinite future. In the middle there are only countless regular random ups and downs of life, and the uneven peaks are like grains of sand of varying sizes.
so,
You should get the answer to that question.]
"The Ship of Theseus."
Is this your doubt?
Crossan.”
Su Wen asked calmly but gently.
Perhaps the crisis that broke out in the Kingdom of Eternal Night may be a response to the changes that may occur in the future of the present world.
He hasn't forgotten the image he remembers in the first act of the game:
【Underground shelter】
[Destroyed Life Forbidden Zone]
[The Abandoned Civilization Mother Planet]
【Thousands of years later】
…
And at this moment.
The hyacinth placed beside his stone window sill was swaying its soft branches slightly.
Moonlight enters the house.
Sprinkled on the sky-blue thin spherical stamens wrapped in the sky-blue breeze.
Look at such a beautiful picture.
He remained silent.
Sometimes it is difficult even for him, as an observer of the future, to determine:
What exactly changed the future?
And who became the key to the turning point of civilization?
If he had not saved Croshan, then she might not have followed him to the Kingdom of Eternal Night.
The gears of fate keep turning.
They have quietly traced out countless branch lines extending to different timelines.
And if he didn't have the prompts from the [Time Travel] system, he probably wouldn't be able to see a corner of the future so clearly.
Su Wen was silent for a long time.
He finally said calmly:
"after all.
Genetic ascension, mechanical ascension, and spiritual ascension are the three most basic ways of individual life level jump in Nikolai Kardashev's civilization level.
I personally don't have a strong preference for this.
Civilization must move forward.
He mixed the coffee powder in his hand with elegant movements, then took out a few bottles of drinking water from the storage box at an angle where no one was paying attention, heated it with the steam engine on the side, and brewed the coffee.
late at night.
The aroma of coffee fills the air quietly.
Night watchman Rhine said silently:
“Perhaps one day the moral bottom line of civilization will even be challenged by ‘genetic editing’ and ‘artificial intervention’.
But Crossan.
For the next action, I will choose to help you complete your research."
"Yo.
Rhine, you are really visionary, but I can't support such a grand proposition.
That is not the responsibility of me, a little life scientist.
As for the guidance of civilization."
She rarely teased,
"after all.
And our great Mr. Rhine."
Although Croshan doesn't like to have words in her words, her straightforward character is really endearing.
Su Wen shrugged.
He didn't agree with this statement, but he didn't refute it either. He just picked up the coffee cup and asked gently:
"Aren't you going to try it?"
"You are really leisurely and elegant."
Crossan stretched,
"Although I don't mind it very much.
But I didn’t expect Mr. Rhine to maintain a traveling mentality in this kind of environment.”
now.
The system prompt appears again:
[Congratulations, great chief player]
[Because of the ‘Dawn System—Temporary Contractor—‘Ashes’ Rendell’ saved the last steam guard in the Port of Return]
[Number of people lost: 0]
[Rating: Perfect]
[The Other Side: The Kingdom of Eternal Night—World Influence 300]
[The Other Side: The Kingdom of Eternal Night—World Influence 300]
[The Other Side: The Kingdom of Eternal Night—World Influence 300]
.....
See this line for tips on increasing world influence.
Su Wen understands.
Rendell had finished her work, and it was time to get in touch with the status-class Steam Guards in what was once the middle of the Drifter Nation.
What's more, the Kingdom of Eternal Night does not have a vast land, and the capital is close to the Signo Province.
That's where the prompt [Afterglow of Light - Branlit's Lantern] in 'Time Travel' is located.
He drank the coffee in his hand in one gulp and then said rationally:
"Let's go,
Lendl has already solved it.
Go see the survivors."
Crossan, an avid researcher, expressed slight dissatisfaction with moving the data before she could fully parse it.
In her opinion,
Being surrounded by mutants is not a dangerous environment.
Jiang Menghan, on the other hand, just smiled quietly.
Compared to the slightly disgusting environment around her, she was more curious about what the civilization of human drifters in the Kingdom of Eternal Night was like.
Literary girls have their own more romantic definition of the meaning of travel.
After leaving the abandoned cafe.
Su Wen slightly raised his black top hat and looked at the shadow above the clouds in the late night sky that appeared for a moment but spread its wings to cover the sky.
The three of them walked towards the burning building along the path littered with mechanical parts and broken roots.
Not long after.
They saw Lendl reverting to his ash form in the distance.
Crossan looked at the burned flesh and blood aggregate and said with a little pity:
"A mutant form that can self-aggregate.
Perhaps there is an iterative code for life forms within the genetic sequence of the virus itself.
It's so tempting.
It’s a pity that it’s all turned into a pile of dust now.”
"It's not completely turned to dust."
Rendell jumped down from the height in an extremely light manner, and she licked her lips:
"It became 'ashes'.
in the melting pot
【ash】."
Immediately afterwards.
She pointed at the remaining girl steam guard and said softly:
"Didn't we see some survivors before? I asked other guards besides her to look for those survivors.
I like this child very much, so I kept her."
Hear Rendell say that.
Su Wen asked in a rare gentle tone:
"Does it look like Famiel?"
"yes."
The sentry captain Yu Jie looked into Su Wen's deep eyes, but suddenly looked away again.
Late at night.
The sentry captain in a black leather jacket stood in front of the broken door of the Burning Building. Her figure looked even more mysterious and lonely under the cover of night.
There is also a rare expression of calmness and solemnity on his face, which is the mark left after experiencing countless wind and rain.
In the night.
The black of her close-fitting sentinel leather jacket became even deeper, as if blending into the endless darkness.
Behind her is the huge figure of the building. Against the backdrop of the night, the whole world looks a bit mysterious and hazy.
In front of her was the dilapidated urban landscape in the middle of the night, with a few faint gas lights that had not yet been extinguished revealed in the darkness.
The burning dilapidated building looked even brighter at this moment, as if it was about to burn the entire night sky:
"They are both strong.
Same as Famir and even Falinta's mother.
In the past.
This is how she guided me forward.
Famil's mother is also a descendant of the Drifters, but she became a member of the Sentinels on her own."
Immediately afterwards.
She waved her hand,
"Stop talking about this.
Let's go.
Let Shelly take us to their shelter."
Hear Rendell say that.
Shelly, who took off her steel helmet, bowed deeply and walked at the front.
Su Wen knew it very well.
After contacting the survivors, it is time to gradually unlock the secrets of the Kingdom of Eternal Night.
