Areas not yet open (IV)

In my struggle, I thought of my childhood memories, of the things my grandfather taught me.

He used his only remaining mobile right hand to hold his body together, bit by bit.

Hold on. I can't give up the struggle before dawn breaks, before the day that symbolizes rebirth.

"Grandpa, thank you. Without you, I probably would never have..."

We can get through this step.

I finally stand once again on this land fraught with crisis, and...

The scene remains one of decay, but as long as we let nature take its course and continue to move forward...

Having confidence in oneself can alleviate the pain one sees.

Don't try to fool me; what I see is square and upright.

That's how it should look!

In my mind, another version of myself was frantically screaming, trying to...

Destroy the cognitive illusions that had been lingering in my mind. Slowly, I...

My eyelids began to sag, and I was able to gradually stand up straight. I suddenly closed my eyes.

My eyes widened, and all the distorted scenery before me vanished. At that moment, I...

I experienced a brief moment of relaxation for the first time.

Hallucinations are something that are not uncommon, even in my daily life.

See. For example, during a conversation, every time you answer a question...

At times, one often has the illusion that the other person will say something next, and at this moment...

Fang's answer is often different from what you expect. Let's talk about underground.

Based on my own experience, at first, I would always hear water coming from above or below.

The sound of flowing water initially made me think there were other people nearby.

Then the illusion of "someone" was born in my mind, and later until I

I heard that the sound of flowing water underground is from the swimming pool automatically filling up the water level.

The illusion in the sea then vanishes. In other words, once one truly understands things...

If the truth is revealed, then the illusion it creates will lose its effect.

While my eyes are still closed, I try my best to recall the first time I truly faced [the subject].

Regarding the situation in areas that are not open to the public, in my original impression, whether they are open to the public or not...

Whether it's the surface or the buildings in unopened areas, they are all part of the urban area.

It is as neat and square as before, not that distorted and deformed weird shape.

I kept repeating to myself, repeating that it was all an illusion, one...

Everything should become the normal thing I imagine it to be.

"Alright, don't be afraid anymore. Yu Han, open your eyes."

I took a deep breath and opened my eyes, which had been dulled by my own efforts to cleanse them.

Through my eyes, I saw lighthouses emitting faint light in the darkness and rows of...

The houses and the rising hills seemed so incongruous, yet so peaceful.

"Isn't this the real you?"

I felt a soreness in my lower back, so I simply sat down.

They landed on the ground and gazed at the distant scenery.

"I've run around dealing with countless troubles, and sometimes I almost ruined myself."

They traded their lives for one another, but in the end, all they got in return was a broken body…

At this moment, I'm not sure if I feel sad or excited as I look at the night sky.

The unchanging moonlight in the sky made me start to fantasize, fantasizing that it could illuminate my...

Some of the grief was taken back with us.

"Vehicle K-68725 has lost contact. Please contact staff."

For assistance, please contact our staff.

Suddenly, the car radio started playing behind me, and I stood there, stunned.

I stood up and looked back, and saw that Lianying, Shunwuye, and I had sat all the way here.

A car suddenly appeared behind me. I didn't have time to stay calm; I hurriedly ran to the car.

I went to check, but I don't know what happened to the reconnaissance soldier I rescued not long ago.

That's it. I opened the car door, turned off the still-playing car radio, and in an instant...

The atmosphere around us quieted down considerably, but something unexpected happened.

These events occurred one after another. First, according to the Dream Core's setting, the flesh of people who died within the Dream Core...

The experience shattered into fragments and rose into the sky, then I awoke from the real world. And just now...

The person I pulled into the car was still lying there. I walked over carefully.

Upon investigation, it was discovered that the member had already passed away. This raises the question of why this setting was chosen.

Because it suddenly became ineffective, no one knows where this member will go next.

I know. Secondly, even if I know the direction the car is coming from, I have a feeling...

Encountering a car was not a coincidence, but rather a possibility in areas that are not yet open to the public.

Similar to the underground room swapping system, it changes the area where the car is located.

They reached my rear, but neither of these unexpected events could be immediately concluded.

After tidying up the items in the car, as I turned around to get out, my foot...

My name was gone, and I fell onto the grass without warning. That car...

The car that was just there has long since disappeared.

"What...what exactly happened?" If this is the case...

If this happened in real life, I probably would never believe it in my entire life.

Okay. Having finally managed to stand up, I unexpectedly found myself feeling like I was being...

They appeared in another location as if teleported, because when looking due north...

There were far more buildings there than I remembered seeing the first time.

With so much information, it's entirely possible to deduce that one is no longer in the original location.

Having overcome the distorted illusions in my mind, the next step is to examine the unexamined.

The mechanism of terrain change in open areas. The digital camera on the vehicle...

It can play a very good role in accurately representing the same area after each change in terrain.

By taking a picture, one can clearly observe the topographical changes in the unopened areas.

The chemical patterns. About ten minutes later, I processed each of the photos I had taken.

After repeated comparisons, no pattern could be found, so they could only...

This surveying method should be abandoned.

Another method is to use a growth promoter brought from underground. I tried...

I poured a drop or two of the test solution onto the ground, but it had no effect. So I...

He then took out another piece of paper and drew a color that roughly matched the color of the buildings in the closed-off area.

The houses were used to create a navigational beacon that could mark locations. And this time, they themselves...

Its creative achievements finally played their due role. When the surrounding scene changed again...

In the instant of transformation, the "beacon" I had erected did not disappear or shift; on the contrary...

Standing still in place, this made me think: could what I was seeing be...?

Is the scene switching also an illusion? If so, then what about the immunity I just experienced?

Why didn't the immune system eliminate such illusions? And in order to verify this...

The puzzle: I approached a naturally formed building not far from me.

I reached out my hand, trying to determine if the house in front of me was a real object, but upon touching it...

In an instant, my hand grasped at the wall, but missed completely. Then I saw my hand pass straight through...

It was on the wall.

"As expected... even this is fake?"

I stood there for a moment, waiting, waiting for the construction to begin.

The building disappeared. All mysteries will eventually be solved, just as the sun shines...

The sun rises again and again; and then we will see one sunrise after another, and that is all there is to life.

Alright.

Shun Wuye once told me that the reason why the unopened areas are all naturally formed is because...

The architecture is because it serves as an important part of the dream in many different ways.

It was just a way of providing shelter. Now it all makes sense.

Yes, the unopened area is the only one in the dream without any man-made structures.

The barriers to entry in a region are limitless. When humans attempt to intrude or expand into undeveloped areas...

When the area is opened, the unopened area will sense the corresponding signal, thereby...

The signal travels to the center of the dream, and then a protective barrier emanates from the center of the dream.

To prevent people from intruding into unopened areas, and that so-called protective barrier is merely...

However, it was filled with radioactive gas throughout the unopened area; once people wore it...

Special anti-radiation clothing developed by the research and development team, which receives signals from unopened areas.

The district will then activate its second line of defense, and this line of defense is designed to easily induce hallucinations.

A cluster of small buildings, repeating itself endlessly... No one can do this in the future.

People can live normally in open areas.

In such a place where it's easy to get lost and desolate, to find

The journey back to the city is extremely difficult, and in addition, cell phone signals are restricted in unopened areas.

With phone numbers blocked, finding someone becomes even more difficult, especially when no call is received from the other party.

In that situation, I briefly weighed the amount of groundwater and paper in my hand.

There were clearly not many left, so we wanted to use markers to get out.

It was naturally extremely difficult. But I still believed I could find a glimmer of hope in the darkness.

Hope, regardless of how it is achieved.

With all the markers already used up, I was on the verge of a breakdown.

At that moment, the ringing of the phone left its last mark on my heart and on this land.

Seeing the vibrant life around me, I forgot all my excitement and quickly checked my phone.

The latest message from the colonel states: "All those remaining in the closed areas..."

"Wait patiently, we will dispatch professional rescue personnel immediately." At that moment, I...

Tears finally welled up in her eyes, and she began to sob uncontrollably.

real

"This battle has dragged on for far too long... far too long, finally..."

Not just me, but within a radius of a hundred miles, I heard one after another...

The sound of leaking water was from those who, like me, survived in the undeveloped areas.

Members. At this moment, we have truly succeeded!

Are you alright? Is anything bothering you?

"No, don't worry. By the way, you are..."

"I am the special agent sent by the highest authority of the school to rescue people."

"oh."

"I haven't asked how many people were with you when you arrived, have I?"

There were originally three people, but they got separated for various reasons.

"It's alright, don't worry, I believe they will be rescued in time."

In the car, every word spoken was warm and comforting, regardless of the time spent in the car.

No matter how difficult the journey was, they all survived in the end, didn't they? Just as I thought...

As long as we don't give up hope, dawn will eventually come.
