The lonely person was forgotten in the depths of the vault-Hao Ren ca n’t imagine how it feels, but he can see the old man left over the past 900 years everywhere in this small room Traces, from which you can get a glimpse of his life. He used discipline and will to force himself to continue to watch as planned, because he used to be the best talent in this ark; he also once renounced himself and spent his time and support in this fighting room because he was just an ordinary human; He woke up from the false self-discipline and meaningless squandering, and left all the history he knew here with the last decades of his life, because he was the last "parent" left by this civilization.

"I was awake in the second half of my life, so I had to redouble my efforts to make up for the previous wasted time," the old man muttered in a low voice, his voice vague, "The only thing I am thankful is that I am really Health, the judgment of the medical scientists is correct, I can live a healthy and healthy life for a long time, this life should have been used for reconstruction, but I was trapped in this room-so I spent almost two decades leaving those Things. Our history, our culture, our traditions, where did we come from, why did we leave our hometown ... that was my longest sober, I worked around the clock, and was frightened every time I found myself with an extra white hair I ’m almost crazy, but I dare not go back to the dorm, because I do n’t know if I can get up again when I lie down ... I am getting older, and in the last few years, I have to spend every day Half the time by the window ... "

The old man shivered and raised a finger, pointing to the door next to the room, where a small window was inlaid. On the days when he woke up and down, that window was the only way he could see the outside world.

"I looked outside. Sometimes I had hallucinations. I saw some sleeping compartments suddenly open, and the children jumped out of it. They were healthy and full of energy. But sometimes I also saw terrible things ... Those sleeping cabins fell on the bridge, and blood oozed out of them. I finished my last job in this state, it ’s time to rest, "the old man ’s turbid eyes looked at the corner of the room, where he lay hundreds The place of the year, "So I went back there, and this time I did not set the time to wake up-my body. I am 103 years old, there is no need to wake up again."

This is the life of Ark's last "parent".

When the ignorant children ran into the refuge city in panic, their "parents" were still asleep, but when those children struggled to survive in the empty city, their "parents" were only Can watch those dormant cabins that have become empty. The first settlement appeared in the city of the refuge, the first batch of new generations appeared, the first kingdom appeared, the first division appeared, the first breakdown occurred, the first power outage, the first cold winter, the first artificial gravity Downtime ... The last guardian of civilization can only be trapped here, at a loss, fear, irritation, and finally cheer up, engraving the history of the entire race on the wall, from youth to middle age, and from middle age to indifference Old man ...

The children and their descendants in the city of the refuge slowly forgot everything in the 800 years of difficult survival, and eventually forgot where they came from. The only thing that can connect them with the watchmen in the vault, I am afraid that only the name of the reactor at the end of the "world" is left: the ancestor Honglu.

"Why write these things on paper and engrave them on the wall?" Lily asked curiously, "Did you not prepare any other teaching materials?"

"Because it lasts longer," the old man twitched his mouth, showing a difficult smile, "The equipment outside has been left unattended for hundreds of years, they will always break, but the things written on paper can be saved In a thousand years, the things carved on the wall can be preserved for 10,000 years, as long as the place remains closed and even longer ... I have always believed that the children are still alive, but there is a problem with the host that wakes them up. They wake up and I am already dead, then they can still find my manuscript. "

After the old man said this, he was silent for a long time. Eventually he looked at Hao Ren and broke the silence again: "I want to ask again, are they still alive?"

"Their descendants are still alive." Hao Ren replied cautiously.

"Oh, is it ... so many generations have passed ..." The old man nodded slowly, and he had foreseen certain things in his heart, but he still asked, "Then our culture and tradition Is it still circulating? "

Everyone looked at each other until Vivian broke this embarrassment: "Many generations have passed ... you know what will happen."

The old man was silent, and slowly walked to the long table where the manuscripts were piled up. He refused the help of Hao Ren and the help of Nangong Wuyue, but quietly sorted out the manuscripts by himself, piled them together in order, and then he tried Try to move those things up-but he has no such strength.

"I'll help you," Lily rushed forward and grabbed the thick stack of manuscripts indiscriminately, "Where do you move?"

"Take me to see ... the descendants of those children." The old man looked up at Hao Ren, his eyes calm and joyless.

"You will be disappointed." Vivian said beside him.

The old man has only one answer: "I am dying."

Hao Ren nodded and took out a living collar from the portable space and handed it over: "Wear it. We will pass through a radiant place, this thing will keep you safe."

The old man left his room for the first time in nine hundred years. When he stepped out of the door, his body obviously shook violently, but he waved his hand and refused the support of Nangong Wuyue, almost muttering stubbornly: "I want to see them myself."

In front of the door of the ancestor's furnace, there are already more and more people.

The alarms issued by the blood attendants alarmed everyone in the royal city, and then weird sayings such as "Ice Flame Witch" madly spread among the soldiers and civilians. All the princes and nobles were alarmed, bachelors. We also ran between the library and the ancient altar to find the answer. Crowds poured out from the king city and gathered in groups on the open space in front of the ancestral furnace.

The traces of frost and plasma flames left on the ground have made these superstitious and ignorant people awe-inspiring, and the strange movements constantly coming from the ancestors of the ancestor are even more shocking.

When Hao Ren led the old man out of another control station exit on the high ground, he saw crowds of people, and the residents of the shelter crowded on the "plain" below, they argued , Worship, pray, as if waiting for the believer.

The giant generator set in the ancestor blast furnace has been repaired, and the self-discipline machinery is waiting for the next order, so Hao Ren issued a start signal to the generator set, and a deep roar came from the depth of the ancestor blast furnace.

The roar grew from small to loud, and then gradually became stable. The residents of the shelter who were waiting in the open space were startled by the sudden sound of the noise, and then they began to make noise, and then they saw the already dim lights in all directions. Suddenly the light was restored, the entire enclosed space followed the light, and the two huge iron wheels in the distant royal city slowly began to rotate. These people finally realized what was happening: the heart of the world began to beat again .

Everyone knelt down, including those generals and ministers, all kneeled religiously in front of their ancestors, and praised the light and warmth in unison.

Beside Hao Ren, the old man looked at all this with surprise: "What are they ... doing?"

"Praise the heart of this world to start beating again, praise the gods to drop the grace," Hao Ren sighed softly, "Vivian said, you will be disappointed-these people have no idea about the ark, their entire world is These more than one hundred kilometers of spherical shell space, where these people have multiplied for generations, have now returned to the barbaric. They have split into four kingdoms, fighting each other endlessly, they think their world is created by God, Outside the ark is a sea of ​​water, and they even think that their world is a giant turtle ... "

"Turtle ... We used this statement to comfort the children. We said that the ark is like a turtle shell and will protect everyone from harm," the old man said in a low voice. "They at least remember this."

Hao Ren was silent for a few seconds, he had to make a final conclusion from the censor's standpoint: "Although it is regrettable, your civilization has been interrupted."

The old man did n’t answer. He just looked at the situation below quietly, listening to the voices of the Ark residents in tattered clothes and primitive words and deeds. Finally, he suddenly smiled, happy like a child: "They are still talking about grandchildren Language, isn't it? "(To be continued.)
