It seems that most of the races that have escaped from the guardian ’s annihilation and natural disasters have been helped by the people of the sky. The ancient life from the depths of the stars is covered with a mysterious veil. So far, Hao Ren has not found any reliable historical materials or relics about the people of the sky in Plane of Dreams. He neither knows where the light creatures were born, nor does he know. Their social form and civilized form, even their language and words are in the clouds, the only thing that can be determined is that these creatures have extremely superb technology and are very familiar with the Goddess of Creation-if not, they are not Maybe after the goddess falls, they will fight against the mad guardians.

"Is the gold disc brought by them?" Hao Ren touched his chin, feeling that there were more and more secrets entangled in the people of the sky. "Where did they find the artifact ... Before the founding star exploded, gold The discs should all be in the Kingdom of God. "

"Mulu once mentioned some special ethnic groups called" Eternals ", which are said to be ancient races that had lived in this universe before the Goddess created creatures," Vivian suddenly remembered some details, "At that time we did not ask in detail, will the ancients be the people of the stars?"

Hao Ren yelled and turned to the old man: "After that? You embark on a journey, are these people of the stars still with you?"

"It is said that in the first few hundred years of the voyage, they were with us, and those light creatures lived in the navigation cabin of the ark," the old man said tremblingly, "but a few years later, they determined that the artifact had been produced. Function, so I left, perhaps to help other survivors. Our fleet continued to go on the road, trying to find a safe place, but the entire universe has been polluted ... Every planet that is suitable for survival has natural disasters, All ecosystems are damaged, and there are huge tentacles and highly toxic blood pools. Our artifacts can only protect the fleet, but they cannot purify the entire planet. After losing several spaceships, the fleet decided not to dock, we Keep wandering until you find a planet without natural disasters ... "

Vivian frowned and asked, "What's going on with infectious diseases?"

The old man gasped heavily and said in a low voice: "No one knows what's going on. It suddenly appears without warning or treatment. We can't find the cause with our medical technology. We only know that it will Infected adults, but the impact on children has gradually weakened. The younger the age, the weaker the impact of the disease, and the mortality rate of adults after infection is almost 100% ... "

"Almost one hundred percent," Nangong Wuyue looked at the old man ’s face, "Are you the only exception?"

The old man raised his hand and looked at the grooves on the skin, and his voice was hoarse: "Yes, I am the only exception, because I was very young, Oh, very young, probably because of this, the plague I opened the net-but many people of my age are not so lucky. "

Vivian raised his eyebrows slightly: "How old were you when you were frozen for the first time?"

"I ... I can't remember, twenty years old, or twenty-two years old?" The old man's eyes became cloudy again, "I just remember being locked in a white house, training, studying, brainwashing day and night The same to master those knowledge and skills ... because when the disease spreads, we find that it is irresistible, just like the ecological natural disaster that happened in our hometown, this is a super disaster, so we started to prepare for the aftermath. We It took several years to transform the ark and build the final storage, and more than half of the people died in the process. The project almost failed due to lack of manpower in the end ... We sent healthy children to dormant facilities and tried Those older children learn knowledge because they will be able to use it in the future, but these are not enough, very not enough ... the oldest of them is only 13 years old, and these 13-year-old children account for only 100% of the total number Less than once. "

"So there is you," Hao Ren slowly guides, reminding the elderly to remember more things, "You are the teachers and parents of those children, and when the virus in the ark is extinct one day, you will lead them to rebuild Civilization? "

The old man ’s head trembled slightly, and he seemed to be nodding up and down: “Oh, yes, I want to guide them ... After the children go to sleep, the adults go to their own lives and the shelters will be closed for a hundred years. It can't be restarted until the ecosystem has completed a complete inner cycle. When everything is ready, the children will wake up and start life again under the leadership of the "parent". But the original "parent" is more than me, we have many candidates Everyone has a strong will, a strong learning ability, and the ability to lead the team. The most important thing is to have a certain resistance to the plague. But then the other candidates died one by one. The plague only weakened in them. Resistance. In the end, only me came out of the training facility. The children had queued up to enter the dorm, and the last dozen dying people in the ark gave me a small farewell ceremony, and since then, I have It's here. "

Lily asked curiously: "Why are you being placed here independently?"

"For safety," the old man said slowly, "because until the day when the vault is completed, our medical scientists are not sure if I am really completely ill, or if I carry the" virus ", if even the last A healthy person is plagued with plague, then we would rather give up the reconstruction plan. So I was kept here independently, I was awakened once every ten years, and then I checked my physical condition-I remembered, those are the ones I used Of ... "

The old man trembles and points to the corner of the room. Hao Ren sees an old device there, which seems to have been used for medical purposes.

"Every ten years, I wake up, and then take a blood test, test, and examine my skull alone," the old man said slowly with his head down. "Through a small glass window beside the door, I looked outside. 150,000 small cradle, knowing that the bloodline of my family is still waiting to continue in the ice, which can give me enough courage. Every time I wake up from the ice, I am calculating my 'wake up' The number of times, I told myself, count to ten times, everything can start again ... until one day I suddenly found that I wrote 11 in my notebook-and the vault host was abnormally silent. "

The scene was quiet.

"System failure," Hao Ren sighed. "Reactor radiation leaked and spread to the entire cabin section. The main body of the vault urgently activated the dormant cabin outside. Presumably it felt that it was better to sleep in the city than to sleep forever. It ’s better in the dorm. But the machine misses you. ”

The old man ’s wrinkled face froze on a complex expression, and he could not see whether it was crying or laughing, but there was no accident in it. He just sighed softly with Hao Ren: "I know, it must be a system failure, but now I finally know the details."

Lily feels that all of this is difficult to accept: "This kind of accident should not happen, there is a problem with the vault host program, and the location of this vault is also wrong. It is separated from the refuge city by the reactor. This Not a good way, if you can test more ... Oh, forget it. "

Lily did n’t say anything in the end, because she knew that the people in the ark had done their best: their people were dying every day, and they could only choose a few corners of the spaceship. They did n’t know how long they could live. Even everyone does not know if they can see the day when the project is completed. When the vault was completed, there were only a few dozen adults left in the spaceship—they could not test the entire system, nor did they have the opportunity to envision alternatives.

Everything is a bet, and there will be no problem with this plan.

But no one is the protagonist, and destiny does not care for anyone.

"How did you live after that?" Vivian stared at the old man's face. The face was wrinkled and dry and thin. This face was only twenty years old when it first entered this room. It was youthful, but it is now The old one disappeared, "How long have you ... woke up?"

"For a long time, I woke up and down intermittently. At first, I forced myself to stay awake every ten years. Every time I woke up, I checked my body as planned, and I prayed that I could see the children standing at the door when I woke up next time. But then I slowly gave up, violently abandoned myself, and ate and drank — I should be fortunate that they left me enough food, because I was the only person in the spaceship who still had to eat, and they simply took the rest of the food They were all stuffed into this room, they could n’t use it anyway, ”said the old man with a crying smile.“ Really, I wasted a lot of time, but then I found it was more uncomfortable than death, so I went back to sleep, And set the time to wake up once every 30 years. This lasted many times. I found that my hair gradually became white and wrinkles appeared on my face. So I was scared. I suddenly realized that I wasted more than my own time. , And the children outside, so before the last sleep, I did the last meaningful thing ... Oh, yes, yes, I remembered, the most important, the most important ! "

The old man suddenly became excited and raised his finger to another corner of the room, his face glowing like a glimmer of light, Hao Ren hurried over, he saw a long table there, and the table was neatly laid Many manuscripts.

If these manuscripts are stacked, I am afraid they are even half a meter thick.

And if these manuscripts are not surprising enough, then the wall next to them is enough to stun him: I saw that on the wall near the long table, on the ground nearby, on the furniture, almost every surface was covered with dense and dense He looked along the lines of the words and pictures, and finally found that these things almost engraved half of the room-except that the lights were dim here, and most of the walls and floors were covered with debris. Did not notice these things.

Behind Hao Ren, the old man tried to stand up and slowly opened his hands, with a proud light in his eyes: "our ... history." (To be continued.)
