The war came unexpectedly, whether it was for Cheng Lin or others.
Because the earth is disturbed by some force that cannot be explained by existing science.
So that it is smoothly locked by the sun in a very short period of time.
Then there are the real problems caused by extreme cold and high temperatures.
Hundreds of countries and regions in the Eastern Hemisphere, represented by the Xia Kingdom, and in the Western Hemisphere represented by the Federation, have all encountered severe tests of survival.
The original city suddenly became unfit for human habitation.
So humans are forced to migrate.
Humans are not migratory birds, and migration cannot be smooth and peaceful.
It is bound to be accompanied by conflicts and contradictions.
The matter involves survival, and this is no longer a problem that can be solved through peaceful negotiations.
The migration of billions of people cannot be accomplished by peaceful means.
Earth's lockdown means that people living in areas facing light and darkness must leave.
The best living area on earth is naturally where day and night meet.
The climate here is the most moderate.
Unfortunately, there is only a limited amount of land where light and darkness meet, and most of them are oceans.
The area that is most suitable for living in the long run is represented by two dotted lines in Greece and Somalia.
In other words, roughly on both sides of the Red Sea.
There are many romantic legends about the Red Sea.
Among them, the most widely known one is the opening of the sea by Moses recorded in the Book of Exodus.
In the symbolic meaning of the story, it can also be interpreted as a place where life and freedom are regained.
No one would have thought of it, to this day.
The two thousand kilometers along the Red Sea has truly become a place of life in the eyes of many people.
Or call it a "lifeline".
People on the east and west continents intend to migrate to where this lifeline lies.
This will stir up hundreds of countries around the world and involve more than seven billion people in war.
In this war, "justice" became an illusive word.
Some pacifists tried to stop it, but unfortunately they didn't even make waves.
War inevitably came after all.
…
One week out from global lockdown.
News about "Cheng Lin" suddenly appeared in major media in various countries.
A comprehensive analysis of what happened.
Combining the global projection from a year and a half ago, the cosmic signal emitted by Jiamusi, the starry sky and its feedback signal,
The comprehensive analysis article on the survey results of a certain Ninth College second-term student and so on has hit the Internet all over the world!
The article identified the person directly responsible for the "global lockdown" disaster as Cheng Lin.
Claiming that he was the culprit of all this!
Announced a global arrest warrant for Cheng Lin!
The United Nations even spoke a day later, positioning Cheng Lin as the world's highest-level criminal.
The crime committed: crimes against humanity.
The emotions of seven billion people around the world were briefly vented.
…
In the following weeks, public opinion attacks on Cheng Lin reached the highest level in human history.
However, as no trace of his existence was found, this crusade inevitably declined.
Realistic issues have once again become the focus of everyone's attention.
…
One month into global lockdown.
The coordinating role of the United Nations has completely failed.
The five permanent members of the Security Council unanimously announced their permanent withdrawal.
Nearly two hundred member states also collapsed.
The world has entered a period of war mobilization.
There are widespread border frictions in various countries.
…
One and a half months later.
The three major states within the federation, the five provinces of Xia State, the capital of Su State, and dozens of countries and regions large and small have been classified as areas unsuitable for human survival.
There is turmoil in all countries.
…
Two months later.
Domestic pressure in various countries has finally reached a point where it needs to be released.
The Federation took the lead in declaring war on its neighbors to the east.
The then-President held a national video conference at the White House.
He shouted with an extremely serious and firm attitude:
"The human traitor opened the door to disaster, and Satan returned to the world... But love and light will eventually defeat evil..."
…
One hour after the declaration of war, the war began.
Another hour later, the Eastern Hemisphere also entered the flames of war.
The tanks broke through the defense lines.
Planes circle over the city.
Firearms, shells, haze, smoke...
And superpowers.
Humanity is simultaneously entering into a life-and-death internal struggle between scientific weapons and practitioners.
…
War has become the norm.
…
"call……"
Cheng Lin stood in front of the safe house, or to be precise, the window of his dormitory, holding a cup of hot water in his hand and drinking it slowly.
It wasn't cold inside, but he saw the snowy streets outside the window.
Empty city.
You will feel cold.
The dark and desolate city no longer has the bright lights of the past.
Instead, it is filled with darkness.
And the devastation after the war.
Time starts to speed up frequently after the global lockdown.
Cheng Lin seemed to be looking at a photo album. Every time he turned a page, there were new photos.
And the subject of the photo is always bad.
Suddenly the window opened again...the photo album opened a new page.
The scenery outside the window has changed again.
From one city to a new one...
Places that were razed to the ground.
[The war gradually became intense, and finally, at a certain moment, a nuclear war broke out]
When he heard the news, Cheng Lin was unexpectedly calm.
He just blew the hot air in the cup leisurely, and then took a sip of water.
"This could have been predicted early."
He said quietly: "Do you want to continue to let me watch like this? I don't think there is anything good about such a thing."
Perhaps he heard the boredom in Cheng Lin's words.
A lot of information began to appear in his mind.
And the scenery outside the window also began to blur for a long time.
[War is indeed full of ugliness, and it has even made the earth more devastated]
[This global war lasted less than ten years, and in these ten years, in addition to guns and death, some things happened that affected the structure of civilization]
[After the nuclear war broke out, large areas of land were filled with nuclear radiation and became wasteland. What people never expected was that nuclear radiation and spiritual energy produced some kind of wonderful reaction]
[So a new term "psionic radiation" was born]
[Psychic radiation caused some animals that had a hard time surviving to mutate, becoming some kind of more powerful life, and multiplying at a speed far exceeding that of humans]
[Within human beings, the large number of deaths of ordinary people has also led to the number of practitioners slowly beginning to account for a larger proportion... After all, practitioners have more obvious advantages in the face of war and climate]
[Besides the war, there is still a deep concern in the academic community. This concern seems a bit unfounded in the context of global nuclear war, but it has received the attention of high-level officials in various countries]
[That is... when will the extraterrestrial civilization represented by that mysterious face in the starry sky arrive? 】
[People firmly believe that looking is seeing, seeing is coming, and the arrival of alien civilization will trigger changes again, which is of strategic significance]
[In order to resist alien civilization, some people advocate developing new weapons along scientific lines, while others advocate opening up an era of practitioners]
[During the war period that lasted for several years, and the stable period that followed for more than ten years, practitioners gradually began to gain an increasingly powerful position, and took advantage of the opportunities of global changes to try to change the original social structure]
…
[When the first strong person to break through the Ninth Grade Realm and advance to the Earth Emperor Realm was born, the world structure was truly changed]
[Many powerful people in the Earth Emperor Realm began to be born one after another. They showed extraordinary strength and successfully achieved political and dominant status]
[The country has disappeared in a sense, and the total population on the earth has dropped sharply to a pitiful number]
[The social form of pyramid-form cultivators, headed by those in the Earth Emperor Realm and supplemented by those in the ninth, eighth and below levels, has officially arrived]
[At this point, thirty years have passed]
[The earth has changed beyond recognition, and finally formed a "lord"-like social form where heroes coexist]
[And the extraterrestrial civilization that people are worried about has not yet arrived]
…
Cheng Lin had finished drinking the hot water in his cup.
The blurry scenery outside the window became clear again.
He found that there was a desert-like area outside.
At first glance, it feels a bit like the Gobi Desert.
Very desolate.
"Is it over?"
Cheng Lin murmured softly, somewhat unexpectedly.
Seeing that there was no sign of time continuing to pass, he finally determined that it seemed that this period of acceleration was over.
"In the span of thirty years, the world went from a global lock-down to the migration of all human beings, and then a nuclear war broke out to compete for territory...
Then there is the period of stability after the nuclear war,
Later, the practitioners usurped power and became the actual rulers..."
"According to this view, civilization does not evolve or disappear, but degenerates. Well, it can also be said to be alienation."
Cheng Lin thought.
"In addition... according to the explanation of this deduction, after the practitioner breaks through the ninth level, will he be promoted to the so-called Earth Emperor Realm?
According to Sun Xiao and I’s previous speculation,
The strongest person in the Xia Kingdom in the current real world should only be at level seven.
Other countries should not go beyond this range,
This civilization deduction is based on reality and evolves.
In other words...it should be accurate to advance to the Earth Emperor Realm after the Ninth Grade."
Cheng Lin's eyes lit up, feeling that he finally got some useful information.
At this moment, new information finally appeared in his mind again:
[The deduction has entered a stable stage, the world has become a wasteland, and the mission continues]
[Mission (Part 5): Please walk out of the house, step into the new world of the wasteland, and follow the guide markers to find the bodies of the reconnaissance team]
