In the year 2048, following the fall of a meteorite to Earth, an unknown gas was emitted. Subsequently, species globally began to mutate, and humanity was no longer at the apex of the food chain. C...
“However, this ability can be very tiring if used too much,” Sun Muchen said. “I can feel a blue bar-like thing in my head. When I use this ability, the blue bar will decrease. Once the blue bar disappears, I will feel unprecedented fatigue.”
"Blue bar?" Wang Lan looked surprised. "You mean mana?"
He seemed to have seen something about this in a book.
"I don't know, I've never heard of it."
Sun Muchen then looked at Wang Lan and said, "Brother, you actually have something in your head too."
Wang Lan was taken aback. "What is that?"
"It's...something that looks like a chip!"
"chip?"
Wang Lan asked in surprise, "You mean, I have a chip installed in my head?"
Sun Muchen stared at Wang Lan's head and said, "It can't be said that a chip was installed. It seems that the chip was originally in your brain, in the center of your brain, and many dense tubes like blood vessels extended from it, covering your brain."
Wang Lan looked horrified and asked, "What is a chip?"
Sun Muchen: "..."
“It’s just…it’s just…” Sun Muchen didn’t know how to explain this problem.
"Well, anyway, I learned about your 'C system' through that chip in your brain. It seems that this chip is the key to your system, and I'm also wondering if your frequent headaches are caused by this chip?"
Wang Lan rubbed her temples.
Although he didn't know what a chip was, he knew very well what should and shouldn't be in the brain.
If this so-called "chip" is located in the center of the brain, it certainly cannot be man-made, which means it must be something that exists naturally.
Why would there be an extra chip in your brain?
Wang Lan was completely baffled.
He looked at Sun Muchen and asked, "Is that blue bar you mentioned also something that exists in your mind?"
“No,” Sun Muchen shook his head, “My brain only contains my brain. The blue bar I’m talking about is more like something that exists in my consciousness, rather than like you.”
Wang Lan was confused.
Sun Muchen then approached Wang Lan and suddenly asked, "Brother... could you not be human?"
"Pah! You're not human!"
Sun Muchen was taken aback by the remark and replied, "But how could a normal person's brain have a chip? You know, chips are usually found in electronic devices like computers, not in humans!"
At this point, Sun Muchen seemed to remember something else and continued, "I've also seen Yu Bin's brain. Although he's strong, he doesn't have a chip."
“I don’t know…” Wang Lan sighed. “We are essentially starting from scratch now. There are too many problems to solve. Not to mention the distant future, we urgently need a place to settle down before we can think about other issues. Hopefully, one day we can solve all these problems!”
The two continued walking forward.
I have no idea how big this forest is.
When the brother and sister looked back, they found that the car was no longer in sight, but even so, they still couldn't see the end of the forest.
Just how big is this forest?
Wang Lan was somewhat agitated as she walked, saying, "We've been walking for a long time, but it feels like we're still standing still."
Sun Muchen then pointed ahead and said, "Brother, look, there seems to be something over there."
Wang Lan quickly looked over and saw that the direction Sun Muchen was pointing to was a large tree, and on the tree trunk, a strange rectangular section of the tree was growing out.
The brother and sister ran over immediately.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the rectangular object was not a tree segment, but a plastic sign. Part of it had been inserted into the tree trunk, becoming one with it. Due to the passage of time, the surface of the plastic sign was weathered and looked worn and dilapidated.
The two looked at the sign and saw that there seemed to be words on the plastic sign.
Sun Muchen looked closely and read aloud the words on the plastic sign, "Sen...zhou...city..."
The words after that are too illegible to see.
Wang Lan reached out, grabbed a corner of the plastic sign, and yanked it out.
Unexpectedly, this action caused the dots on the plastic sign to crack and completely turn into a thin layer of fragments, which then drifted away in the wind.
"Hey! Bro! What are you acting all high and mighty for?!"
Wang Lan: "I..."
After his initial embarrassment, he rolled his eyes and said, "Anyway, we know this place is called Senzhou City!"
Sun Muchen rolled his eyes at him and said, "It seems to be a road sign. Given its weathering, could it have been left before the anomaly?"
“This place truly lives up to its name,” Wang Lan said, pointing to the forest. “It’s all forest!”
Sun Muchen ignored him, looked left and right, then pointed ahead and said, "Brother, what's different about that tree over there compared to the others?"
Wang Lan looked in that direction.
After a moment, he said, "It seems that the trees over there are shorter and sparser than those in other places."
“That’s right,” Sun Muchen said. “Since it’s a road sign, there must be a road. Legend has it that after the mutation, both plants and animals experienced a life-explosion. The reason these trees are so big must be because they were affected by the mutation. The asphalt road may no longer be visible, destroyed by the roots of the trees next to it, or broken by the saplings. But these trees are definitely not as thick as the trees in other places.”
Wang Lan suddenly realized, "You mean, those short trees were the road that used to lead to Senzhou City?"
Sun Muchen nodded. "That's how it is theoretically."
