Thriller Paradise Chapter 129: Earth Wasteland (2)
Humanity, human civilization, and the land on which mankind lives are repeated, ups and downs. No matter what an outstanding person, what a great achievement, what a prosperous age, it will be forgotten by eternal time.
There are no monuments that can stand forever, because they will eventually be overthrown.
There is no story that can be celebrated forever, because people will continue to write new and great chapters.
The "Old Earth", or "First Earth", is such a place that is being gradually forgotten by people...
One day in the 22nd century, on a peaceful night, through the clear lens of the Schall Peak in the United States and the Arecibo Telescope in Puerto Rico, astronomers found a new bright spot in the sky. It is clearly visible in the area adjacent to Pluto. Russian and Swedish observatories quickly confirmed this discovery, and speculated that this small meteor of unknown mass and origin was sprinting towards the direction of the solar system.
Some newspapers and periodicals gave a small report on this new star, but the news agency only covered the news. It seems that for most people, news about astronomy is far less attractive than some gossip entertainment stories.
A few days later, the astronomers looked at the star field with both nervousness and curiosity, guessing what would happen there. It turns out that... the size and brightness of the meteor is growing at an astonishing rate, and now it can be clearly captured with ordinary photographic film. The closer it is to Pluto, the more disturbed the astronomers. Even in the 22nd century, it is still unthinkable that celestial collisions occur so close to human beings. However, it seemed that the absolute distance between these two celestial bodies was still very far.
When the unimaginable quickly became possible, the media from all over the world began to pay attention to the events happening in the sky, and even some students at school produced related charts of the movement of celestial bodies. The evidence shows that people can only watch the meteor helplessly running towards Pluto.
Soon after, the world was reporting this incident. Because the imaginary collision did not happen, it turned out that when the meteoroid passed by Pluto, it dragged the entire dwarf planet into its own hot mass...
The two stars melted into a huge, dazzling white sphere, which can be seen by people on Earth with naked eyes.
So, besides the sun and the moon, a new celestial body was added, following the rotation of the earth. Appear regularly in people's sight. Every night, people will watch the rise and fall of this sphere, and people have gradually realized that every time this sphere rises, it becomes bigger...
People began to be suspicious and fearful... and asked questions such as "Why is the universe so big and that meteor came here?" It’s stupid to ask this kind of question, just like asking why you stand out among the billions of compatriots and you are born smoothly.
Scientists explained some related knowledge of astrophysics to the public in news programs, and announced some of the research results. The overwhelming reports all tell the same thing: this uninvited guest who invaded the solar system must eventually travel in the sun. Only the attraction of the major planets can make this star deviate from its devastating orbit. But in any case, the end of the earth has come.
But the next thing. It was unexpected.
For example, the earth was sentenced to death, but with a suspended death sentence.
After this fireball swallowed Pluto, its moving speed became very slow. It stayed at a relatively safe distance, burning the world like a twin brother of the sun. The cold winter is gone. The coldest season in the world is also like early summer.
When one dawn is over, the second dawn lights up the sky again. Such dazzling, such fiery heat, hellish heat waves and hurricanes raged across the world. No one knows how long such days will last, but the speed at which the ice caps melt at the poles is a reminder that this planet is not a permanent place.
The optimists, the doubters, the despairers, and the crazy people reacted differently, and the earth was plunged into unprecedented chaos. The doomsday finally appeared in front of people in a tangible posture. It is no longer what "environmental problems", "alien invasion", "deadly viruses" exist in movies, or people often talk about it. Hypothesis. It actually appeared in the sky, and every day, it was announcing the world, and the end was just before our eyes.
Unexpectedly, this "reprieve" has brought humanity together. In the following ten years, the development of human science and technology even surpassed the past two hundred years.
All mankind finally abandoned skin color, race, nationality, beliefs, etc., and united together, in order to continue the common goal of race, each did its best to share the top science and technology, scientists, and resources without reservation. ,all.
Finally, after twenty years, mankind has taken the first step of interstellar colonization. The first "Ark-class" interstellar carrier flew out of the atmosphere, carrying a population of one million. Then came the second and third...
Later, the ray of life that escaped the earth... finally revealed people's nature. A war broke out on the earth, which ended in the death of most human beings and the destruction of 93% of the man-made facilities on the earth.
Twenty-seven years later, the "doomsday" ended like a joke. Of course, no one could laugh.
The meteor turned ninety degrees, accelerated again, and left the solar system. No one knows why. Maybe it was not a meteor at all, but an alien spacecraft, maybe it was a special life form, or maybe it was a test of an unknown **** to mankind.
In short, when people have the ability to escape from the earth, the crisis of destruction of the earth no longer exists. The most ironic thing is that this planet has been devastated by the nuclear war launched by mankind itself, and it is not suitable for continued survival.
Fortunately, people have mastered the key transition technology, and long-distance interstellar travel is no longer a fantasy. As a result, the survivors on the Ark found a new home in the Milky Way, an unmanned planet very similar to the old earth, a virgin land where no intelligent life has yet set foot-the "New Earth", or "Second Earth".
In 2386, a new technology was successfully developed, called "ant", which is an extremely tiny nano-scale robot that can be used to repair biological cells and tissues.
In the beginning, "ants" were used to reshape the bodies of severed limbs. Even patients who are paralyzed and rebed for a long time and have severe muscle atrophy can return to their normal state.
Later, when the "ant" brought a mountaineer who had been frozen to death on the snow mountain for several years to come back to life, this technology attracted attention and people turned their attention to the first earth again...
Since 2401, very few "ancestors" of mankind found from the old earth have been resurrected. The truth of history and the dead civilization have been answered.
This has become a wave. It has flourished for more than half a century, but it still hasn’t stopped......
One day in 2455, a four-stage catamaran named Grendel arrived on the old earth. The scientific research team on board found two frozen living creatures in the Crystal Lake Laboratory and brought them back. The spaceship. One of them is female researcher wan; and the other, named rhees, is an undead murderous demon.
They didn't know that there was not only the Grendel spacecraft, but also another team who visited the Crystal Lake Underground Laboratory that day. With ulterior motives, following the scientific research team also came here. After the team left, the group of talents entered the laboratory...
…………
"Unexpectedly...I met a strong enemy." Finally, the assault thought.
"Crazy Trace Sword Shadow, one of the sword smiles, a very tricky opponent..." The Doomsday Assault continued.
The two people in the corpse knife studio are both short-headed, pale, numb, and their voices are not high. The intonation is also very stable. They all wore green and black clothing, the styles were very similar to the uniforms in Star Trek, but the colors were different. The badge of the corpse knife was printed on the left chest of the uniform. The pattern is a finely crafted skull machete, and the text is naturally the black corpse knife.
"Is that guy called Crazy Bujue also a master of Jianghu? How come I have never heard of this character..." Doomsday Strikes said, "Don't you think it's weird to encounter such a combination?" /
Finally, the assault responded: "It is indeed strange...According to the rules of this game, the strength of the two teams will not be too far apart." He paused, then said: "I have to admit, Kuangzhang Jianying Even if it is two levels lower than us, the strength is by no means lower than you and me. But the one called crazy is only sixteen..."
"In other words...does the system believe that the strength of the opponent's teamwork is not much different from our two 19th-level players?" Doomsday assaulted.
"Hmph... something must be wrong, could it be said that this unknown person called Madness is a strong hand at the same level as Kuangzong Jianying?" Finally, he attacked: "If that's the case, The only possibility is... he is actually a star player, but he used a new nickname in Thrillerland."
"It makes sense." The Doomsday Assault continued: "It must be a master who has jumped from another studio to Jianghu, changed the game ID, and formed a partner with Kuangzong Jianying. This can explain... Why do we encounter two players who are both lower than us in a 2V2."
"Isn't this very good." Finally, he attacked: "It's rare to meet an opponent with a lower level than us in the killing game. The odds of winning should be greater."
"Hmm..." The Doomsday Assault nodded and said: "But even if you know you will win, you can't be too careless. You see, our survival value is slowly passing by, indicating that this script has a time limit. If the opponent If you use procrastination tactics instead of confronting us head-on, then this battle will become a battle of attrition for survival value supplements and medical abilities. There is no specific value for the health of this game, but a percentage. If the situation develops into a hide and seek situation , We have no advantage at all."
"I think so too, we'd better fight quickly." Finally, the assault responded: "The level is leading, and there is the support of'that medicine'...If you still lose like this, it is too unreasonable."
…………
On the other side, Feng Bujue took the flashlight to lead the way, and Kuangzong Jianying followed him, walking fast and quietly in the corridor.
Feng Bujue turned [Casey Jones's Mask] into a display state. Although it is not a gas mask, it feels like it has a somewhat filtering effect on the air.
"The war of attrition is a way that is more beneficial to us." Feng Bujue said as he walked, and because of the display of the mask, his voice became irritating.
"What is the consumption method?" Kuangzong Jianying said: "Do you mean using long-range weapons or traps to deal with it?"
"No, as long as you don't meet each other, it's a waste." Feng Bujue replied.
Kuangzong Jianying thought about it for a while, and understood what he meant: "You mean...using the indiscriminate blood loss effect here?"
"Yes." Feng Bujue replied: "Their level is higher than ours, and theoretical survival value will be a bit more." He coughed again: "But the survival value caused by the environment has passed, obviously In terms of percentages, you and I have checked this just now."
They only exchanged the survival value with each other a few minutes ago. The level difference between the two is one level. The current survival value is 95%. Even the timing of the percentage drop is almost the same, accurate to the second. This shows that the elapsed speed has nothing to do with the level, as long as you breathe the air here, you will lose blood by a percentage after a fixed period of time.
"Heh..." Kuangzong Jianying smiled: "Brother Madness, can I ask, how many survival value supplements did you bring?"
"I have four (medium) bottles." Feng Bujue replied.
"Let’s not say how much each other will have." Kuangzong Jianying said: "I have brought more than you." He shook his head: "Besides, in case one of those two is a medical professional. It's fine, or just a little bit better, then isn't your'war of attrition' just in the arms of the other party?"
"I said it started with a war of attrition~IndoMTL.com~ but I never said that it would end with a war of attrition." Feng Bujue said, "I mean, this game is best not to be dragged into a quick battle. Rhythm."
"Do you think we will lose if we make a head-on shock?" Kuangzong Jianying asked. In fact, the tone of his asking this question had already made it clear. He didn't think so.
"Not necessarily." Feng Bujue said: "But since you have found me as a teammate, you should be clear that in terms of our combination, the overall strength is far better than the opponent's hand-to-hand combat." He was slightly biased. He overtook his head and said to Kuangzong Jianying over his shoulder: "Strategy is also part of strength." He paused, and looked forward again: "If you just want to go head-to-head with the opponent, you might as well team up with me It’s a real thing to find a pure martial arts player."
Kuangzong Jianying said: "Well, then..."
Roar——
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a weird low growl, and Feng Bujue stopped in time.
The two behaved quite tacitly. They both kept their mouths silent, consciously facing in two directions to guard. They listened with bated breath and waited for the roar to sound again to determine its position.
