Uplifting Journey

The earth in the 21st century, in a city in eastern Asia.

The city, which was supposed to be extremely noisy under tens of thousands of human activities, is now extremely cold and quiet. There are no more people and vehicles shuttling between the numerous buildings made of reinforced concrete. Instead, there are sporadic mutant beasts and crazy growth. plant.

There is also a weird creep that seems to be paved with flesh and blood.

In the middle of the red carpet that spreads across the city, soaking up sunlight and eroding all kinds of organic matter, is a cutting-edge medical school.

The closer you get to the center of this mutation, the weirder the life on the bloody carpet looks, from howling monsters with festered skin and only scarlet muscles, to distorted lumps of flesh that seem to be fused by countless human brains and limbs, all of them are in normal condition. Life that cannot survive in the natural environment is crazily mutating under the influence of unknown forces.

And in the center of these monsters, the corner of the medical school that was originally under the strictest management, a group of terrifying flesh and blood "embryos" that surpassed the surface buildings were slowly squirming in the basement of a low-level research institute.

Inside this huge embryo connected to the creeper, in an underground laboratory surrounded by countless tentacles of flesh and blood, a bald man in a blood-stained white coat who survived the catastrophe of a terrifying virus that wiped out billions of people I was in a trance for a moment.

Putting down the slate in which a large number of fragmentary symbols of unknown meaning were scribbled on, the man raised his hand and touched his head covered with abnormal raised veins, enduring the strange dizziness after dazed, and looked around thoughtfully lap.

In this small space where the air is so polluted that it is unacceptable for normal human beings, the humming sound of the old generator echoes infinitely. Under the dim light, only one personal computer is still running, and the program on the screen is constantly refreshing the data, as if calculating wearing something.

In addition, there are only countless scientific research instruments that have been scrapped due to lack of maintenance and accumulated dust in the space, and one after another Petri dishes loaded with strange biological tissues.

"Normal people would have gone crazy in such an environment." Looking through the dark wall, the bald man looked at the huge embryo outside. ID badge.

After erasing the smudges on the nameplate, you can see the magnified name "Cheng Bin" and the suffix "Doctor".

After looking at the nameplate that he had seen a long time ago, the bald Cheng Bin sighed slightly.

This is the information virtual world derived from the world line that Dr. Cheng, the Zerg ruler, was once merged into the main world line of the inner domain by him and the system. A record of some kind of evolution possibility of the world line excavated from .

The current him partially replaces Dr. Cheng's "existence", and uses this as a basis to chain and pull its associated information lines.

Cheng Bin, who has figured out part of the true face of the power and information resonance of the high-dimensional gods and demons, gradually mastered how to use his own power to operate in the infinite ocean of information derived from the interconnection of quantum foam.

It is easy and natural for many high-dimensional gods and demons to sense and interfere with things inside and outside the world from the perspective of idealistic information—as long as they are within the scope of their authority. But in Cheng Bin's hands, this is an extremely complicated task. , Huge project.

However, the road of knowing why has its own advantages. Cheng Bin, who is climbing on the spiral ladder of materialism, can compare and even surpass many things after his power penetrates the ocean of information and the actual material, and understands the laws of change and relationship between them. High-dimensional life matters.

It's like he can retrieve information arbitrarily regardless of authority restrictions, just like now he can easily start tracing——

As the high-dimensional interference force intervenes in its interconnected complex dimensions through the quantum foam, countless phantoms of the world flash before the eyes of the bald man-based on the original Dr. Cheng in this world line, all the worlds related to it The related information gradually emerges in front of the interference power of the quantum incarnation cluster.

past, future noumenal, parallel individual

In an instant, Cheng Bin saw all the traces of Dr. Cheng's past and future on this world line, saw the information lines of all parallel individuals including himself that resonated with it, and saw all its derivatives in the world line changes. Possibilities, seen. Layers upon layers of mazes of information.

These obstacles that hinder Cheng Bin's exploration are still within the benchmark threshold of "Dr. Cheng" in terms of distance and content, which means that the hidden things behind it are still closely related to Dr. ", "carbon-based life" and other secondary wide-area associations.

But the place where the information belongs does not seem to be near the inner domain.

"In the root of the universe where all information is gathered, how to cover up the traces of one's own activities and protect one's own IP address is a skill that every high-dimensional life must learn."

After sighing with emotion from the bottom of his heart, Cheng Bin had a thought, which affected all the quantum foams related to the current action. Starting from the materialistic level of the world matrix, he carefully bypassed the complicated peripheral maze that caused headaches for countless high-dimensional beings, and avoided some sensitive points. Continue to follow the information thread.

It has to be said that the system destroyed all the outflowing world lines and parallel individuals of "Cheng Bin" by fusing the arenas of many parallel worlds. This action is indeed of great significance——

The life born in the real world-line is different from the information-section cut and copied from the ocean of the origin of the universe, in some aspects, it is fundamentally different.

It's like a fictional human being who only stays on paper documents and electronic files, and the traces left behind are hard to compare with a real person who is active in the material world.

Therefore, the world line of birth is extremely important for life that touches high dimensions. Although high-dimensional life can survive in places other than the mother world line, if the mother world line falls on a capable life like Cheng Bin In his hand, that was a huge opening.

No matter how long you toss in the high-dimensional universe, as long as the selected world line interference time point remains unchanged, it will always be just an instant for the life in the world.

In the dimly lit laboratory, Cheng Bin, who had put down his identity plate, walked aside and turned his gaze to the LCD computer screen on the desktop.

The computer with many interfaces open at the same time is running its own processor at extreme efficiency, which makes the movement and clicking of the mouse very laggy.

With a trace of inexplicable emotion, Cheng Bin forcibly shut down the simple calculation program about a certain virus antibody that took up most of the resources. His eyes scanned another open document, which was full of ATP, glycogen, cells, etc. Words such as , seem to be information that replaces some cell functions with special abilities.

——This should be the embryonic form of the Nian Qi Battle Body

The ferocious bald man with nostalgia looked sideways at the huge flesh and blood behind the wall that could not be supported by the normal carbon-based structure, then turned around and closed the programs on the computer one by one, completely shutting down the computer that had been overloaded for a long time.

Standing silently in front of the computer with a black screen, the low-dimensional Cheng Bin with a relatively independent soul recalled and sorted out all the information about Dr. Cheng at hand, until the generator in the corner of the room made an abnormal noise and the dim light went out instantly.

The underground laboratory was completely plunged into darkness and silence, except for the slight movement produced by the intermittent wriggling of fleshy tentacles on the outer wall.

After a long time, the computer screen without energy supply suddenly lit up strangely, and a simple confirmation window appeared on the display screen under the subtle eyes of the bald man——

“[Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to really...live? Yes/No]”

Salty but not dead.

It’s so uncomfortable to drive late at night, and it’s even more uncomfortable to get up early to continue driving after driving.
