No matter where you go, you should remember that the past is fake, memories are a road with no end, and all the past springs no longer exist, and even the most tenacious and crazy love is ultimately just a fleeting reality.

——Garcia Marquez

The fifth year after the sun disappeared, that is, March 7, 2150 AD.

The wars initiated by the New American League and Southern African Comrade have all failed. Countless fanatics who were keen on war and thought that they could solve their survival problems through war were frozen into stiff corpses.

The only difference is that the failure of the New American Rebel Army was caused by an accident that could turn the situation around. The war launched by the Southern African Comrade was caused by internal discord.

The land of requiem that invaded reality also returned to death, but Europe was not spared.

France fell, Germany was frozen by the ocean falling from the sky, and Italy was penetrated by inverted mountains...

The "war fire" still shines, the world has restored its basic connection, but the suffering has not ended.

At this time, "living" became everyone's goal, and everyone almost agreed with the fact that "give up fantasies and prepare to accept the apoptosis of civilization."

...

Zhang Zien rechecked the road map again, then turned to the exhausted team members and said, "Everyone hold on for a while, and walk a hundred kilometers forward to Tengzhou. Let's rest there."

Zhang Zien, wearing a dark cold-proof suit, had the word "beacon" marked on his chest, which was a symbol of his identity at this time.

A year ago, the world was in chaos.

Africa and the Americas were fighting, Europe was invaded, and Asia was unable to survive after the "war fire" was lit up. Fortunately, at this time, a force that had been silent for many years woke up again and joined the chaos.

People in the center of chaos do not know the origin of this power, but they can feel that the world is gradually returning to order.

By 2150, the war had basically subsided and the disasters in Europe had temporarily subsided.

The world with a confused look on its face was left and lost hope for the future...

Fortunately, the "war fire" has finally been ignited, and people can finally see the efforts that all mankind are putting in through it. The first central axis is also the first time that it has officially announced the losses and achievements of the past five years to the world in the public frequency band, and at the same time, it has issued an initiative to the world, hoping that more knowledgeable people and elite talents will join in the struggle to save all mankind.

The announcements and initiatives were issued one after another, which both caused considerable responses.

But for the future... it seems that most people no longer have hope for whether they can see the "sun" of tomorrow.

Now, the two things that the official most worrying about are beginning to begin to emerge.

First, the efficiency of the internal circulation of the shelter. This includes three parts, mainly referring to the efficiency of life circulation, resource utilization efficiency and production and manufacturing efficiency. In the original plan of the "Beijing Huo Parliament", tens of thousands of shelters around the world are engines that can drive the wheels of human destiny. As long as they can maintain normal operation and continuously output power, humans will have enough capital to fight against this sudden catastrophe.

But as of now, too many things have happened in five years.

Terrorist attacks, divine pollution, the so-called "gospel" and the war in the two major regions consume too much and too much valuable manpower and material resources.

This is the result that the "Beijinghuo Parliament" is least willing to see, but it is also a fact that has happened so far.

Second, the birth rate of newborns in major shelters has been greatly reduced.

Especially after years of turmoil, the already very low birth rate has been cut in half. Now most shelters are in a state of negative population growth, and some negative growth situations are very serious.

This does not include suicide and the loss of personnel during the maintenance of external circulation systems...

But the official unexpectedly did not hide these numbers anymore, but directly made them into concrete and clear data forms and sent them to every survivor around the world with the help of an announcement attachment.

Judging from the current data, the average number of new people in global shelters is only 173,505 per month, while the average monthly death toll exceeds one million.

According to incomplete statistics, there are currently less than 2.5 billion survivors around the world. According to the current number of newborns decreasing month by month, the number of deaths increases month by month. In less than half a century, human beings will completely perish.

According to another research report, the initial statement that the "sun disappeared" would not last more than 400 days was really self-deception. Not only was it based on no basis, but it was also slapped in the face by new evidence.

An internal report from Xinghan International said that humans are experiencing this unprecedented catastrophe that is likely to last for 100 to 150 years, which means that humans can only see the "sun" again if they have to go through three generations in a shelter.

The report was not made public, but major shelters have already sent similar signals to survivors within each shelter.

Generally speaking, doing so will undoubtedly cause large-scale panic, even chaos.

The continuation of human civilization is harmful but not beneficial. But for some reason, the "Beijinghuo Council" has changed its policy thinking since it was bloodbathed by the people of Takahashi Yinji. They decided to inform the public directly about the truth.

This is really hard to understand.

As of now, the frank announcement of the "Beijing Parliament" of about 2.5 billion survivors in the 17,455 existing shelters around the world must always respond to the improvement of the "Beijing Parliament".

From this point of view, it can be seen that the existing survivors already have a relatively specific concept of the disaster itself, so they did not overreact after learning about such a "reality". Many of them even began to spontaneously respond to the subsequent "Beijing Fire Council"

The initiative was initiated and began to focus on strengthening the construction of inter-individual ideas.

At the same time, the "Beijinghuo" parliament has also prepared a backup plan.

The plan is called the "Holy Grail of Life". The content of the plan mainly uses the collection of DNA sequences of all human ancestry, and then generates a "civilization fire" named "Holy Grail of Life" to ensure that humans are ultimately forced to rekindle human civilization when they are ultimately forced to perish.

This plan takes fifty years, and the preliminary plan recruits 1.23 million executives. They will undergo strict screening. Not only should the details of the plan be kept confidential, but they should also have absolute beliefs and perseverance in the continuation of human civilization.

These people are called "Guardians", and their hearts are marked with "Beacon" articles. In more than half a century after the plan was launched, they could only rely on the extremely limited resources provided by themselves and the "Beacon Council" and some refuges to complete this great mission.

Maybe someone will be confused when they see this.

Why is this solution not directly delivered directly to the management level of major shelters to implement it layer by layer by layer by layer with the information network connected by "Fenghuo", but instead requires recruiting more than one million people to do this?

In addition, it is not difficult to understand the "civilized fire" but is it really necessary to collect the ancestral gene sequences of existing survivors around the world?

Finally, why do these executives, or alternative plan participants, not get the logistical support they deserve?

Zhang Zien once raised the above three questions in front of Xiong'an's management-level personnel.

The answer he received was very detailed and convinced.

There are three points to summarize.

First of all, the "Holy Grail of Life" plan is not that the fruits in the yard are ripe, and it is easy to let their own people go down to pick them. In fact, although the overall reaction is better after the basic report on the current world situation is issued, many people still show negative negative emotions.

They have given up their hopes and their meaningless struggles, becoming a group of madmen who only want to start a doomsday carnival, or simply starting to plan a longer future for themselves, like other smart people.

This means that once the "Holy Grail of Life" plan begins, it will inevitably be subject to obstacles. Active cooperation will inevitably be in a few, and most people will definitely care whether the plan has direct interests with them, while the rest will be opponents, or they will simply make trouble.

With these unstable factors, the management of major refuges, which have lost a lot of credibility and management value in the context of the catastrophe, have long been overwhelmed. At this time, handing over this work to them seems to be just a straw, but it is very likely to expose the last layer of fragile horse deep in people's hearts.

Therefore, the "Holy Grail of Life" work can only be completed by a small number of firm watchmen who respond to the "Beacon Council" initiative, and they must also learn to adapt to changes and carry out local DNA sequence collection plans in different shelters according to different situations.

As for why we need to collect DNA from existing survivors around the world, this is actually a "saturation" statement. The purpose is not to really collect DNA from all people's ancestors, but to collect these sequence data and samples that are particularly critical to the "Holy Grail of Life". Only in this way can the natural superiority of human civilization be preserved to the greatest extent.

Biology also emphasizes the theory of the essence of massive samples.

This is crucial to the recovery of human civilization after the official launch of the "Holy Grail of Life" program.

Why it is said that the executors who implement the "Holy Grail of Life" plan are difficult to be guaranteed, and may even have no logistics at all... This is somewhat similar to the previous reason why we should recruit proprietary personnel instead of directly handing them over to major dome management agencies.

Although the war in Africa and America has ended, and people can calm down with the help of the information conveyed by the "Beacon" is to make people calm down. However, the "Beacon" predicts that until the solution to "the sun disappears" is truly found or when the "Sun" can be angry again, the human society, which has been completely dispersed due to this catastrophe, will still inevitably suffer the pain of war.

A large-scale war for resources like Africa and America may be difficult to have, but conflicts between small areas will intensify.

Especially when the supply of controlled nuclear fusion energy built into shelters in central mainland areas is gradually offline over time, these survivors who are struggling in the central region will not be guaranteed to move towards the coastal areas to survive in order to survive. Although shelters in coastal areas have various safeguards such as the "Pacific Rim Nuclear Power System", the space for shelters is very limited.

Even if the "Beacon Council" has considered that in the future, the sun disappears for about twenty to thirty years, and when the human disaster level enters the eighth level, it will mobilize major shelters to integrate comprehensive resources and personnel based on their own situation. But before that... some minor accidents and conflicts are still inevitable.

As for the Rings and the Ultimate Doomsday Fortress, these are Noah's Ark-style refuge strategies.

Previously, the United Nations of New America finally triggered the war in the New America because it had gathered a large number of essential resources in the Great Lakes region. Therefore, even the Star Rings and the Ultimate Doomsday Fortress exist. The "Beacon Parliament" can only acquiesce to the existing existence and continue to exist, but cannot allow such things to continue to expand, because it will accelerate the withering of human civilization.

In summary, the "Holy Grail of Life" plan can be regarded as the most tragic alternative to the doomsday since the birth of human civilization.

Of course, the "Beijing Fire Council" is also actively concentrating manpower and material resources towards the sun. The next step will be to establish a "pioneer" camp on Mercury and deploy resource supply transit stations on Venus. The purpose is the same, that is, to thoroughly understand why the "sun" "disappears" and whether it can use manpower to make the "disappears" sun rise again.

...

From the super-high-speed passage, ahead is the deserted city of Tengzhou standing in the dark.

The tall buildings have all turned into dead trees in the dark forest, they are dull and silent. Zhang Zien is the first to go down to the ground and then immediately enters the predetermined warning position.

Following Natsume and Chen Shuang, these two men also entered the alert position after they came down.

Natsume's warning direction is on the other side of the city, where there is nothing to see on the road with a large number of abandoned vehicles.

After confirming that it was safe, Natsume signaled that others could come down.

Soon, all eleven members of the team landed safely.

Zhang Zien stood up and said, "Let's go."

The team carefully moved towards the city along the side of the road. The reason why they were so nervous was that their team had just been ambushed by an unknown armed man ten minutes ago.

Fortunately, the team was close to the inside of the sharp bend of the ultra-high speed channel. Otherwise, with this ambush, Zhang Zien would have to leave at least two bodies behind to escape smoothly.

It is initially expected that there are only two types of people who attacked them.

One is the survivors who fled from Europe to China, but they are illegal entry personnel and are basically impossible to be accepted by refugees in various places, so they become "silent ghosts" in the dark, relying on attacking other people operating outside the refuge to force their survival.

Another type is the guys who have not given up their extreme crazy ideas arranged robbers near the major domes. These people are well-equipped, and usually they will gather nearby accomplices to hunt after discovering the target. On the way to come, Zhang Zien heard from Xiong'an headquarters that three teams have been attacked by unknown armed personnel, and they have lost contact with their respective command centers.

So Zhang Zien had to be careful.

Especially in his team, there are only five people who really have combat capabilities, namely himself, Natsume, Li Dan, Shimizu Masato, and Chen Shuang.

Zhang Yenan was originally considered one, but unfortunately this guy was accidentally damaged when he was in action a few days ago and his right hand was frostbite. Now he is basically a useless person.

There are only five people. If they really encounter the hunting of those fanatics, Zhang Zien thinks that they must have explained it here.

The team is moving very slowly, basically at a pace of walking and stopping.

Zhang Zien was very careful. He didn't speak throughout the whole process while commanding. He relied on cleaning up and some slight slapping to convey the signal of action. He groped forward for hundreds of meters, and suddenly a fire rose into the sky in the darkness.

Immediately after a "bang", when Zhang Zien looked over, he saw a damaged infantry fighting chariot in the woodland was blown into the sky on the other side of the road.
