Chapter 139: The Return of the Fragmented World
You Xi did not answer whether to leave or not: "What will this fragmented world become in the future?"
[If it is a complete world, rain will not cause a rapid rise in water levels, but floods will still spread to every city. The impact of tsunamis plus low-water floods will cause building garbage and corpses to mix together, which will cause plague. But because the land still exists, the subsequent situation will gradually improve. Humans will gradually adapt to this natural disaster of hurricanes, heavy rains, thunderstorms and tsunamis. In the early stage, they will evacuate to high altitude areas and eventually build stronger and more waterproof buildings. ]
You Xi was a little confused: "I'm asking about the fragmented world?"
[No. ]
"What?"
[The fragmented world has no future. The existence of the fragment world itself is a bug. The rain will continue to fall, and the land will disappear completely one day. All the resources needed by humans will be buried under the deep sea, and civilization will be destroyed. When the fragment world no longer has any resources, humans will slowly become extinct. When the world's energy is exhausted, the entire fragment world will completely collapse into dust and disappear in the universe.
You Xi was stunned there, and it took a long time for him to come back to his senses.
"...So, if the fragment world is destined to disappear, what is the point of me and Tang Yatong coming to this world to complete our mission?"
This time, the Star House system was silent for a long time before speaking again.
During that period of silence, it seemed that the system was considering whether to tell her the truth.
Do you still remember the last apocalyptic world? The last world was supposed to be a normal acid rain apocalypse, but suddenly fragments of other high-difficulty worlds appeared and merged with the acid rain world, forcibly increasing the difficulty of the world, and in the end... you almost died. 】
"Well, fortunately Lin Wu also went to that world - although it was unplanned, fortunately he came and saved me in the end."
[...]
"So, you mean to say that the fusion of fragments and the increase in the difficulty of the world are not accidental?" She remembered that after she came back from the acid rain world, she asked the Star House system if there was something behind it. At that time, the system's answer was beyond the scope of the question and did not give her an answer, "Are you willing to tell me the reason now?"
[For some reason, you seem to be targeted by the system tower. ]
This answer made You Xi's back instantly cold.
She... was targeted by a huge unknown system?
[The fragment world is a bug and is not easy to be monitored. When you are in the fragment world, you cannot be found there for the time being. ]
"You mean, I came to the fragment world this time to take refuge?"
[Yes, if you appear in the normal mission world this time, you will be found again. ]
"What after you are found?"
[Eliminate. ]
**
You Xi did not sleep all night. She repeatedly thought about the conversation between herself and the Star House System.
The last few sentences were what she thought about the most.
"But isn't my system you? You are different from the system tower. With your existence, why can the system tower still find me and erase me?"
[Because all mission worlds are the home of the system tower, I will be restricted here. Therefore, you cannot travel to other people, nor can you enter with the body of the native world. It will be treated as a bug from the beginning. ]
[You can only travel to "yourself" in the apocalyptic world. 】
【Only "yourself" who has existed as a mechanical consciousness will not be detected. 】
...
Youxi finally understood why the Star House System said that only if the "Youxi" of the apocalyptic world survives, she can return to that world.
Because she is different from the tasker of the system tower. If the apocalyptic world is compared to a game, she can only log in with a fixed "account".
This "account" was arranged by the Star House System early on, which can ensure that she will not be detected by the system tower. All other "accounts" (indigenous people) will be detected immediately as long as she logs in.
Therefore, she can now be completely sure that the Star House System and the System Tower are completely opposite parties.
In the apocalyptic world, the Star House system will be restricted, so most of the time, even if she asks questions, the system will not answer, because there are many things that the system can't help her, and she can only rely on herself.
Before getting up, You Xi asked: "After leaving this fragmented world, will I enter the complete world or the fragmented world for the next apocalyptic mission?"
[I will try my best to connect to the fragmented world, and the host should also work hard to improve himself. ]
"I understand. After I go back this time, I will buy superpowers first."
[Do you want to escape from the current apocalyptic world? ]
"No."
[World mission has been refreshed! ]
[World mission: 1. Save 0/10 humans in the mission world (100 star coins can be obtained for completion). 2. Assist in the establishment of a scientific research institute to develop new wind-resistant and waterproof materials for use as buildings (200 star coins can be obtained for completion). You will not die if the mission fails, and you can leave this apocalyptic world at any time when not in combat. 】
Probably because the first mission overlaps with the mission of building a shelter, the upper limit given this time is ten people, and it is still 10 star coins for saving one person.
After deciding to stay for the time being, You Xi also put her worries to rest.
She quickly changed into sportswear, got up, washed up, and laid out today's breakfast on the dining table in the suite. Tang Yatong, You Zhenzhen, and Chen Lei, who lived in the suite, also got up at about the same time, ate something and prepared for today's work.
The six-month disaster period has also allowed everyone to figure out some disaster patterns.
Recently it is the winter monsoon period, and hurricanes basically come from the northwest of the peninsula. The cruise ship is currently fixed next to the cliff in the leeward area southeast of the highlands.
The steep and high mountain wall next to the cruise ship's berthing location can just block most hurricanes. The cruise ship's hull has been modified and reinforced to withstand heavy rain and thunderstorms.
As for waterspouts, the frequency of occurrence is very low. If it unfortunately happens in nearby waters, there are too many people on the cruise ship, so they can only evacuate in batches, and some people will go to the rubber boat floating island to hide.
The other part of the people climbed up from the soft ladder hanging from the mountain wall. There was a horizontal cave on the mountain wall about 20 meters above the cruise ship, which could hide another part of the people. The cruise ship was still taken up by Youxi.
Because the safety of the refugees still depends on Youxi and Tang Yatong, not only Youxi will not leave for the time being, but Tang Yatong will also do the same. She originally wanted to find a suitable place on the high ground to open or dig a land shelter to share the pressure of the cruise ship.
But now Youxi knows that the land of the fragment world will disappear completely sooner or later, so it is not enough to just build a land shelter. She has to set up a research institute at the same time, and she has to cooperate with the official people in this regard.
The officials know better than anyone else that the Lushan Peninsula is isolated from the world, and they must have discovered that something is wrong with the world.
So Youxi's plan is to reveal some information so that both sides can have the same goals and achieve the greatest degree of cooperation. Through these months, the cruise ship shelter has long become a refuge that people yearn for.
But for one thing, no matter what the situation is, there will always be people who deliberately slander it.
Those who have been rejected by cruise ships deliberately spread the news that cruise ships are authoritarian and have no human rights, that the refugees who board them will be brainwashed, and that they must work for cruise ships without compensation, and that cruise ships exploit them harshly... People
with thinking ability will not believe such news, but there are always some brainless people who believe everything they hear, reject cruise ships in various ways, and at the same time spread the unconfirmed news they heard from others.
So the current situation is divided into two types. The refugees who actually boarded the cruise ship know the truth because they live here every day, and therefore have a trust in Youxi and Tang Yatong that is almost worshipful.
Some people on the highlands are prejudiced against cruise ships and would rather continue to live in the highlands than go to the cruise ship to try to fight for their chances.
The official attitude towards cruise ships is ambiguous.
**
After breakfast, Youxi and Tang Yatong talked alone for a while, and finally, they took on the job of "diplomacy" themselves.
Their plan lacked scientific researchers and equipment. The equipment could be obtained underwater, but the government still had more scientific researchers. Many scientific research masters were well protected by the government, and they should be busy developing various products that could withstand disasters every day.
The whole process was generally smooth. After all, the government was almost at the end of its rope. They also knew that the Lushan Peninsula was losing land little by little every day, and they knew even more that the entire Lushan Peninsula was like being trapped by an invisible barrier.
The alliance was reached, and each side had only about 60% trust in each other, but this 60% was enough.
In addition to the highland shelters and research institutes, the two sides also began to cooperate in shipbuilding.
No one is more competent than Youxi in this regard. There are a large number of giant ships and various hull machinery tools that are about to be completed underwater on the southern coast. Such huge objects can only be moved to the highlands at the fastest speed through her transportation space.
In order to speed up the progress, she even took out her RV and temporarily placed it in the cruise ship's warehouse, so that two transportation spaces can be freed up.
She will travel according to weather conditions and drive the yacht all the way from the middle to the south quickly when there are no hurricanes and heavy rains.
The current water level has completely submerged the cities along the way, and she can take a straight line directly.
Sometimes, she would take Tang Yatong with her and go into the city on the way back and forth to search for large supply warehouses; sometimes, they would get more secret supply points revealed by the authorities, and these supply points were all relying on supplies that ordinary people could no longer obtain.
Of the supplies obtained in this way, the authorities would take 60%, and the remaining 40 would be at their disposal.
Sometimes, You Zhenzhen would ask to go with You Xi. She had learned to cook from "Qu Yichen" and Chen Lei. Although there was only about a day on the road, she would still prepare every meal for You Xi.
In her own words, her mother was saving the world, and she had no ability and could not do big things, so she would do the small things within her ability, at least so that she would not be busy with these trivial matters.
"Mom protects the world, and I protect my mom."
You Xi looked at the girl's eyebrows and eyes that resembled her own, and had a very subtle and warm emotion. This feeling was different from facing her parents, sisters, and comrades.
After all, she chose to stay and tried hard to save this fragmented world because she wanted to protect her.
She didn't want You Zhenzhen to live in a world without a future. No matter how small this world is, she hopes to see her live safely and happily.
At this time, You Xi didn't expect that she would stay in this world for a full ten years.
In these ten years, she completed several world missions one after another.
Ten years later, the last piece of land in the fragmented world also disappeared, and the Heron Peak, which was once the highest peak on the peninsula, also became an underwater mountain range.
At this time, there are already 20 ships built with new materials that are wind-resistant, rain-resistant, thunderstorm-resistant and even waterspout-resistant, and each ship can carry 100,000 people.
Each new ship is equivalent to a small floating city, with various resource circulation systems gathered on it, including hospitals, police stations, fire stations, prisons, restaurants, planting, breeding, scientific research, manufacturing...
Human power is infinite, and in order to survive, miracles can always be created.
According to the age of world figures, Youxi is already 47 years old at this time.
Tang Yatong left six years ago, when the first ship was successfully launched and withstood the typhoon, rainstorm and thunderstorm.
Youxi is very grateful that she stayed for four more years, and she knew that the other party did it for her.
So, when Tang Yatong left, Youxi told her the truth about the two systems. She was not from the world of the system tower. She had another system, which seemed to be hostile to the system tower.
"So, the chance of meeting again in the future is very small, right?" After Tang Yatong pondered, she told Youxi that she still had three S-level world missions, and as long as they were completed successfully, she could enter the inner tower.
If Youxi's system had a way, it could try to guide them to meet again after a period of time, and maybe they could find out the truth about the system tower together.
After Tang Yatong left, "Qu Yichen's" body was supported by mechanical consciousness, but even she didn't expect that Qu Yichen's ego consciousness actually came back by willpower half a year later.
For him, the memory scenes of these four years are all there, but they are hazy and not very clear.
But he knew that his parents were in trouble, and he also knew that the cruise ship refuge base "he" built saved many people. Also, his feelings for You Zhenzhen have never changed.
It's a pity that You Zhenzhen's marriage partner a year ago was not Qu Yichen, but Chen Shengxin.
Although Qu Yichen regretted it, he expressed his blessings to her and turned around to continue his scientific research.
After her family celebrated her 47th birthday, You Xi left this fragmented apocalypse. Before leaving, she once again reminded You Zhenzhen and Chen Shengxin and warned them not to leave the border line.
In recent years, because all land has disappeared, the time loop area has changed from the original location of various external transportation vehicles to the sea area around the Lushan Peninsula. As long as you step out of the surrounding sea area, no matter whether you are a person or a boat, you can never come back.
Everyone has accepted the current situation of the isolated world, and they also know that there is a boundary in this world. Once you step out of this boundary, it is equivalent to death.
The authorities have drawn this boundary by building a lighthouse on the water, but many radicals will deliberately challenge it, and without exception, they have never come back.
She doesn't know whether You Zhenzhen is willing to live in this water world for the rest of her life, but she and she have experienced the time loop area and know the situation there.
In Youxi's view, You Zhenzhen is now married and will soon have her own children and a family that truly belongs to her.
Under such circumstances, she could not have deliberately taken risks.
But Youxi did not know at that time that sometimes, many things would be different from what was guessed.
**
When Youxi returned to the black door again, it seemed as if she had been in another world.
[The sixth mission of the apocalyptic world has been completed, the number of star coins: 1580. ]
