"There's nothing to entertain you. Let's just make do with it." The saintly mother-in-law asked people to serve something dark.
Lin Sen couldn't tell what it was made of, but he knew that it should be their daily food.
Out of politeness, Lin Sen picked it up and took a sip, and then the taste...he didn't spit it out, but it was hard to swallow.
"After the impact, Gaia became what you see now. It seems to be intact, but in fact... except for humans and a few ancient creatures, there is nothing left, and nothing can even grow in the soil.
Something." The saintly mother-in-law walked to the window of the living room. Outside the window was a blood-red sea, but the sea breeze had no smell at all.
Lin Sen put down the "food" and asked: "How many people are still alive in the world now?"
"Probably more than 200,000, but most of them are old people who have been cursed like me and are still alive. There are only a handful of newborns."
"That one just now?"
"Well, she is a miracle. Her mother was already infected when she was pregnant with her, but she didn't expect that the child she gave birth to would be so clean. We all regard her as a treasure."
Lin Sen felt a little relieved after hearing this, but he couldn't accept it all.
"How did you get here these years? Can you tell me?" Lin Sen asked.
The saintly mother-in-law looked back at the tall Lin Sen. It became so luxurious for her to stand side by side with him on crutches.
But being able to see Lin Sen again is already a great blessing...
"These years... it seems like just yesterday..." the saintly mother-in-law said, her eyes returned to the sea, and then she asked: "Do you still remember what major events worthy of attention happened in the year 103?"
Lin Sen shook his head.
"It's normal that you don't know. After all, they are just trivial things that are not worth mentioning, but you still have to mention them..."
…
"At the end of 103, the coalition was planning how to deal with the 2.3 billion descendants of the Empire in the world, and at the same time, it was intensifying the implementation of the Cerberus plan.
But just when everyone was complacent, a ray of light appeared and turned everything into nothing.
Is it a miracle that I survived? Haha...
In the more than thirty years since the impact, the whole world has been shrouded in a lightless crown. The ground and sky no longer have the elements for human survival, so we can only return underground.
Fortunately, this is not the first time. We have already prepared an underground fortress to deal with the doomsday.
But it is a pity that we underestimated the power of the impact, especially when we found that things growing in the soil have been infected, and almost all water sources can no longer be purified, we realized that mankind has really come to this
The end of the world is over.
The most ridiculous thing is that due to the lack of a sound system, this kind of bad news was not blocked in time, and a war for resources for survival broke out once again among the remaining human beings."
…
Speaking of this, the saintly mother-in-law also opened her robe and exposed her abdomen to Lin Sen.
"Well, my stomach was removed due to injuries during this war, and there are still a large number of alienated infections like extinct volcanoes there. If I die one day, they will wake up and take over me.
"
Lin Sen looked over and found a shocking scar on the withered body. The scar was glowing red and looked very unstable.
"But that's all trivial. Although there is no morality in waging a war for survival, there is nothing to criticize. We have persisted for so long, and we are eating that unpalatable synthetic substance just to stay alive."
The saintly mother-in-law put down her robe, smacked her lips, and her expression was very peaceful.
But then Lin Sen said softly: "I'm sorry..."
The saintly mother-in-law was surprised and laughed along with her: "Don't be like this, you have nothing to be sorry for. None of this is your fault, not to mention... you are also one of the victims, aren't you?"
Lin Sen was also surprised, and at the same time very relieved, because the words of the saintly mother-in-law showed that she had a thorough understanding.
"But no matter what, the impact was caused by me and Wu Huan. Telling it... might make you feel better." Lin Sen responded calmly.
The saintly mother-in-law laughed even louder after hearing this. She waved her hand: "You are wrong, Lin Sen. You really don't need to blame yourself, because what really causes the shock is the Center Veil's denial of reality and its power.
It is affecting this world, and you and Wu Huan, the true meaning of your existence is to get rid of the imprisonment of the central curtain, and then go to the real reality!"
Lin Sen couldn't calm down after hearing this. He always thought that all this was caused by him and Wu Huan, and everything he found proved that the central curtain used him and Wu Huan to create these tragedies.
but……
Seemingly seeing Lin Sen's shock, the saintly mother-in-law held Lin Sen's hand and said: "I know that it is difficult to understand all this, and the group of people who are looking for answers, including me, have also been thinking about it for a long time.
You and Wu Huan were blamed for causing the apocalypse, but later we found the truth in a very unexpected place, which is why we decided to persist in our faith and wait for the rekindling of human civilization."
Lin Sen frowned deeply. He looked at the Holy Mother-in-Law seriously and asked, "Have you really found the truth?"
The saintly mother-in-law nodded, and then said: "It's useless to talk more, you'd better go and have a look with me."
After saying that, the saintly mother-in-law let go of her hand, turned around and walked out the door.
Lin Sen followed closely, his heart trembling, and he also felt Lemidia's joy.
"Diya, just hold on! I will definitely end this nightmare!"
Lemidia was not in as much pain as before. After waking up Han Kongwen and Yang Yurong, she now became a bystander. Especially the addition of Mei Rui made the scene even more chaotic.
Therefore, His Majesty the Human Emperor replied confidently: "It's okay, don't worry about me, I can still handle it."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Lin Sen was still very confident about Lemidia's ability, but now he suddenly had a little doubt about whether he could find a way to unlock the reality.
This feels weird!
Because according to common sense, Lin Sen is close to finding the truth, but why does he feel so uneasy?
…
And when Lin Sen followed the saintly mother-in-law to the truth, Lin Sen finally realized the source of this uneasiness...
…
It is an ancient ruin deep underground in the Human Renaissance Federation Base.
It seems that the Human Renaissance Federation originally chose to station here to protect it, but the saintly mother-in-law did not explain in detail how they found this place.
I just want to tell Lin Sen that this place used to be a very large island more than five thousand years ago. However, with the subsequent geological activities, most of the island fell below the sea level. The people who originally discovered this place thought it was a very large island.
It's just a huge reef protruding from the sea.
"Xiao Mo's mother is the lucky star for us humans to revive the federation. She not only created the supply synthesis equipment that is now used to maintain our survival, but also defied everyone's opinions to create the mother nest device for global survey of life signals, and that is
The offspring released by the brood device accidentally discovered this place when they were flying on the sea level." The saintly mother-in-law said as she walked, the robot behind her dutifully lighting the way forward.
Lin Sen followed her down the rugged rock path and looked up into the distance. He could only vaguely see the outlines of similar buildings, but he had no idea what they were.
This is not only because Lin Sen's body's ability to listen to the heart is insufficient, but because there is a special film in the darkness that is similar to an energy barrier.
"It's really not easy to discover such a small target," Lin Sen said.
"Yes, thanks to that girl Manny being careful enough, otherwise it would have taken us who knows how many years to find the answer." The saintly mother-in-law suddenly stopped as she spoke.
Lin Sen was also surprised: "Mannie?!"
The saintly mother-in-law looked back at Lin Sen and said with a smile: "Why, don't you feel that that girl Xiaomo looks familiar?"
Lin Sen laughed dryly, slapped his forehead and said, 'I'm really stupid, I thought Xiao Mo was... it turns out that's what happened...'
After speaking, the saintly mother-in-law pointed to the shining place in the distance and said: "If you go any further, the concentration of pollutants will reach the limit of my tolerance, so I won't accompany you. Manny will take you the rest of the way.
.”
Lin Sen looked into the distance, where a group of high-density energy was gathered. After analysis, it was found that these energy groups were controlled by a core suspended in mid-air.
"Okay..." Lin Sen nodded.
The saintly mother-in-law patted his arm, then turned and left.
When she passed by Lin Sen, Lin Sen suddenly turned around and said: "If..."
The saintly mother-in-law trembled when she heard this. She turned around slowly and said with a smile: "Huh?"
"I will put an end to this nightmare!"
The saintly mother-in-law...or in other words, Dongfang Ruo, whose allure has long faded with the years, nodded gently: "I am looking forward to seeing you again, please don't let me down."
After that, the haggard figure walked away.
Lin Sen also smiled again. It was a miracle that he could see Dongfang Ruo again, but what he didn't expect was that even in a completely different time and space, Dongfang Ruo's familiarity with Lin Sen still existed through the mysterious power.
The tacit understanding that no need to be reacquainted made Lin Sen's uneasiness dissipate, and he turned back and looked into the distance.
The light in the darkness flickered rhythmically, and she was waiting and cheering.
Lin Sen stepped forward and ran towards it, and soon he had rushed into the dark depths like a sea of fog. However, Lin Sen would not get lost, because the light of hope was always in front of him.
When he broke through this obstacle and came to the light.
