Chapter 326 Traveling through time and space (End of the main text)
This time, Youxi stayed in the South China Sea Island for about ten days.
The location of the Star House reset this time is inside a lighthouse tower a short distance from the coastline. Because it is a solitary tower, when you look out from the terrace of the Star House, you can see the blue ocean on three sides. Whether it is the sunrise or the sunset on the sea, it is incredibly beautiful.
The disadvantage is that it is very inconvenient to travel.
When she is alone, she can use ice power to step directly on the ice layer and float across the sea.
There are no large mutant marine creatures in this shallow sea area, but there will be some small marine creatures jumping out of the water to attack her, and there will also be mutant seabirds hovering nearby that will pounce from the air.
The attack power is not high, but it is quite annoying.
So when she took You Feng and Fan Qi out, she would choose to drive a low-altitude car directly - although the yacht was comfortable, it was definitely not safe. She had no shield, and the yacht was not a prop. The mutant marine creatures with stronger attack power could destroy it.
After setting up Zhao Xuefei's identity as a Star House guest, she took her back to meet You Feng and Fan Qi that day.
Zhao Xuefei had naturally been to You Feng and Fan Qi's home. When they bought this big duplex, You Li was jealous for a long time.
Although her family was not short of money at that time, Zhao Xuefei's father had no taste and did not understand what high-end residential areas and high-rise split-levels were. He liked to live in their original house in the old residential area. The house was also quite large, more than 150 square meters, but the decoration was old, the floor was low and the lighting was not good. The residential environment made Youli even more dissatisfied.
Because of Youli's attitude at that time, Zhao Xuefei also did not like her own home very much, and always wanted to change to a large flat or a villa near the lake.
But later, when they were trapped on Nanhai Island and could never go back, when they lived in that five-star hotel every day, they did not dare to go out all day, and only dared to stand behind the glass and look at the world outside that was turned upside down, they realized how much they missed the rustic home that they had once despised.
You Li had dreamed of their home, and Zhao Xuefei had also dreamed of going back there.
Even if Zhao Xuefei's father was no longer reliable, for Zhao Xuefei, home was home and could not be replaced. Only when one loses something will one know how to cherish it and miss it especially.
Zhao Xuefei changed her shoes and stood in the living room, looking around in surprise: "So, sister, your space is your house? Your house has become alive and can run around by itself? No one can come in without your permission?"
"That's about what I mean. You are so smart." You Xi felt that Zhao Xuefei's analogy was really good. Thinking about the Star House that originally overlapped with her small apartment, isn't this the house "alive"?
[…………]
Zhao Xuefei was immediately excited after receiving the praise, and said: "Let me guess, those props you just gave me, were they obtained through a system similar to an alien mall?"
You Xi couldn't help but stretch out his hand to applaud her: "Awesome."
"Hey, it's nothing. You can find it in any apocalyptic novel or interstellar novel..." Zhao Xuefei was happy for a while, but then she felt annoyed: "How can you admit such a big secret in front of me? It doesn't count. Just pretend I didn't ask! I don't know anything!"
Maybe You Xi's applause attracted the attention of "Bean Sprout". It couldn't wait any longer. It pulled out its roots from the potted plant on the terrace, cleaned and dried them, and came down the stairs with a clapping sound. It quickly rubbed to You Xi's feet and followed her to applaud Zhao Xuefei with its small leaves.
Zhao Xuefei: ... ! !
"What the hell!" She almost subconsciously touched the knife at her waist, but when she looked carefully, she found that it was a mutant rose seedling.
There is an evolver in the underground base who also has a similar ability to get close to plants. When he approaches certain poisonous mutant plants, he will not be attacked, and occasionally he can drive poisonous plants to besiege the enemy.
They also found that some mutant plants have the ability to move automatically. For example, a shrub plant that originally grew in a certain place was found to have moved several meters when it was visited a few days later.
But those plants grow in nature, and they still need soil in essence, and they never follow people.
"Well, bean sprouts are a bit special. They don't have much attack power, and they are not poisonous, but they have feet..."
"I understand, all its mutant energy is concentrated in the roots."
"Guessed it right again, so smart."
Zhao Xuefei was very happy to be praised several times. But "Bean Sprout" was unhappy because the owner said that it had no attack power and no poison, and it was so useless...
When You Feng saw Zhao Xuefei again, he couldn't help but think of You Hai and his family with his father. Although their relationship was not harmonious, he at least wanted to know whether the other party was still alive and whether they were doing well.
However, there were so many refuge areas in the country and the area was so vast. With no means of contact and communication intermittent, he knew that the chance of getting news from them was extremely small.
In the end, he could only sigh and decided to let everything go.
After You Feng and Fan Qi invited Zhao Xuefei to have lunch, they wanted to invite her to have dinner and also wanted her to stay.
Zhao Xuefei really likes Youxi's safe and beautiful home, but now for her, no matter how good the house of Youxi's family of three is, it is not her and Youli's home, and she has no sense of belonging here.
What makes her feel a sense of belonging and security now is their home in the underground base - now that home has become a one-bedroom, one-living room, and one-bathroom suite through her efforts. Every piece of furniture was personally selected and moved back from abandoned hotels, shops, and supermarkets when she was on a mission, from small aromatherapy candles to large mattresses and bed boards.
So, not long after lunch, Zhao Xuefei was ready to leave. She wanted to open a "Star House" with Youxi.
When she stood on the thick ice formed by Youxi, swaying towards the coast while dealing with the attacks of various mutants, she finally understood what Youxi meant when he said that it would be a bit troublesome to go back after teleporting.
What was even more outrageous was that after they landed, because their location was a long distance away from Zhao Xuefei's underground base, they drove the RV for three hours before returning to the vicinity of the underground base.
Along the way, their silver RV passed through several private shelters. Youxi used [disguised lipstick] on herself and Zhao Xuefei, and stayed in each shelter for more than half an hour with the faces of strangers.
The legend of the Star House on Nanhai Island has a long history, especially among the people, and it has been gradually mythicalized and become a god-like existence.
At this point, no matter if you are kind-hearted or cruel, you will not be stupid enough to think of taking the "Star House". Everyone knows that once someone offends the owner of the Star House, he (she) will disappear with the car at any time and never come to this shelter again.
And this troublemaker will be excluded from all shelters.
It was already late at night when Youxi sent Zhao Xuefei back to the fence of the base. However, there was a military jeep parked silently on the other side of the road outside the fence, as if waiting for someone.
Zhao Xuefei recognized it as Zhou Ningyuan's car. She wiped off her fake lipstick and got out of the car. Thinking of the other party and the other man waiting in the base, she felt a little irritated.
Zhou Ningyuan was handsome, capable and talented, but too strong for her. She was no longer at the age of liking and admiring strong men. She just wanted a relaxed and stress-free relationship and never thought about it too long-term.
Judging from Zhou Ningyuan's previous lifestyle and rigid personality, his behavior yesterday was totally different from the Zhou Ningyuan she knew. If it were her in the past, she might be curious, explore, and even patiently play hard to get with the other party.
But now she just wants to go home early to take a shower and go to bed.
Zhao Xuefei didn't look at the jeep on the other side of the road, and walked straight to the checkpoint at the guardrail entrance.
After that day, You Xi went to the vicinity of the underground base several times. Once he opened the Star House directly outside the base, and the other times he took Zhao Xuefei to other places to run the Star House.
Another time, Zhao Xuefei and her parents went to meet Zhao Xuefei and Yuli in an off-road RV. This was Zhao Xuefei's suggestion. The reason why she didn't take Yuli back to Youxi's house for the time being was because Zhao Xuefei felt that the space, the moving house, and the ability to teleport into the house were too amazing, so it was better to keep it secret from Yuli for the time being.
Zhao Xuefei didn't distrust her mother, but she knew her too well. It was safer for her not to know until she had to teleport and move in.
This time, Yuli and her daughter stayed in the RV for one night. Yuli and Fan Qi slept in a double bed, and You Feng slept on a sofa bed.
You Xi and Zhao Xuefei slept on the second floor of the RV. As a result, the two did not sleep all night. They looked at the stars outside the glass ceiling and chatted quietly, talking about the evolvers, the planet, the future of mankind, and men...
In the past ten days, the large and small shelters on Nanhai Island have once again received material assistance. Although the amount is not much, it has brought them hope.
At the same time, many small shelters with very decent styles have received a manual called the Atlas of Mutated Plants. The manual is a printed version with drawings. On the first page, it says: I hope to give you a little help through this atlas.
The signature is: Star House.
**
At dinner on the day they were about to leave Nanhai Island, the three members of the You family sat on the terrace, watching the unusually gorgeous sunset on the western coastline, and discussed drawing lots to decide the next destination.
Mainly because this time the three of us had different opinions.
You Feng wanted to go to the snowy mountains, the kind with holiday cottages and five-star hotels, no matter whether it was domestic or foreign. His reason was that the south was a bit hot, so he went to the north to escape the heat.
Fan Qi wanted to go to a tourist country famous for its coral islands, where there was a hotel on each island, famous for its gorgeous water houses, and the color of the sea water was different from here, it was clear light blue. There
were many mutants in the sea now, but generally the dangerous large mutants were in the deep sea, while the small islands there were surrounded by shallow seas, so large mutants could not get in, but they could deal with the small ones.
But at the same time, Fan Qi also wanted to go to Country B where she could see the aurora. It was also a tourist attraction, a place she had wanted to go to for a long time. There were glaciers, volcanoes, and hot springs. There was a Blue Lake Cabin Hotel where she could see the aurora, a bubble ball hotel surrounded by snow-covered forests, a suspended hotel on top of a snowy mountain, and a hot spring hotel in the middle of a volcanic terrain...
As for Youxi, she wanted to go to the desert to watch the sunset with smoke. There were no people there, and she could launch a high-altitude airship there and live on it with her parents for a few days.
In the end, Fan Qi wrote several slips of paper, put them in a box, and let "Bean Sprout" draw lots to choose.
Not to choose once, but to choose one at a time until all the slips were chosen, so as to arrange the order of the reset of the star house later.
In each place, they would decide the specific length of stay according to the local situation and their mood.
"Bean Sprout" stood on the table, flexibly snapping his feet, and the result of the draw came out: Desert - Coral Island Country - Country B - Snow Mountain.
You Feng: ...
He watched as he rubbed his daughter's rose seedlings and then his wife's, and once again realized his position in the family very clearly...
**
Late at night, You Xi lay on the lounge chair on the terrace, waiting for the star house to reset, while sinking his consciousness into the nebula world and the alien space in his mind, and carried out the tasker's operation of launching the apocalyptic world.
This was her twentieth launch, and she didn't dare to choose too many at first, because each number above represented a living soul.
She didn't know what the results would be from the ratio of tasks she assigned, so she chose about 100 people to be put into the same world each time. The ratio of tasks was mainly survival (50% to 60%), supplemented by rescue (20% to 30%), and the rest was repair (usually around 15%).
This ratio was also set according to the hint given to her by Xing Min. Different ratios mean the direction and difficulty of the tasks. Generally speaking, survival is the easiest, rescue is the second, and repair is the most difficult.
If the repair ratio is set to a larger or maximum at the beginning, then the tasker may not be able to complete the task at all. If the task fails, the tasker will be wiped out. This is an unshakable established rule in the apocalyptic world and belongs to the part that cannot be changed.
Youxi is just getting started now, and it is only in the trial stage, so the task world is also mainly B and C levels.
Her goal is to make these apocalyptic worlds gradually stop the disaster in a benign way, rather than at the cost of sacrificing some souls.
She did not operate too much. After selecting three batches of 100 people to be deployed to three B-level worlds, she stopped the operation.
Because these operations seem simple, but they will consume her mental energy and make her brain feel tired. In serious cases, she will feel a piercing headache or even fainting as if her superpowers are overdrawn.
After the tasker completes the main task of the world, the results of these deployment tasks will be fed back to the world panel. She can know whether this deployment is reasonable from the completion of the task and the degree of damage of the tasker. At the same time, she can also check the degree of disaster coverage of the deployed apocalyptic world.
The degree is not concrete, only a percentage data is displayed, from 100% to 0%.
When the disaster coverage reaches 0%, it means that the world has ended the apocalypse and ushered in a new life.
The missioners she sent in the first few times have completed their missions and returned to the alien space. The disaster coverage of those apocalyptic worlds has changed very little, only from 100% to 99%.
These mission worlds are all in the early stage of the apocalypse. This value shows that the disasters that are about to happen will continue, but the degree of disaster will decrease by 1%.
You Xi couldn't help but sigh: This progress ratio is too slow.
[It’s actually pretty fast, after all, you only deployed 100 people, and the mission is mainly for survival and rescue. At the same time, because this is a C-level apocalypse, the extent of the disaster will be reduced, otherwise, it is estimated that there will not even be 1%. ]
Youxi stretched her limbs in the recliner. The terrace was not lit, the sea around was silent, and the stars in the night sky above were numerous, some of them were dim, and some were bright.
She spoke slowly: "Okay, let's go slowly, it's better to have progress than no progress, after all, we have a direction, and everything will get better little by little."
**
Three days later.
China, desert Gobi.
Looking down from a height of one or two thousand meters, the Crescent Lake embedded in the desert Gobi below is like a crescent-shaped blue pearl.
The blue pearl is strung in the khaki desert, as if it is the last oasis on this land.
This place used to be a famous tourist attraction in the desert Gobi. Surrounding this small and clear Crescent Lake, green trees grow all over the shore, and quaint buildings are quiet and leisurely.
Every tourist who comes here will check in at this "Desert Pearl". In the early days of the end of the world, this place was also one of the refuges for survivors.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. As the only oasis nearby, plants grew wildly, and mutant creatures in the desert migrated here, and this place became a nightmare for mankind.
The Star House was naturally not relocated in the old building beside Crescent Lake, but in a dilapidated stone and earth house in another part of the desert. The house was old for who knows how many years. Although it was old and dirty, it was well built and had a door.
This was deep in the desert, and there was really no human figure nearby. There was only yellow sand Gobi, lonely peaks, sunset, and the stars in the sky and the earth.
Fan Qi and You Feng originally thought that the desert without any scenery would be monotonous and lonely. Although they had been secluded since the end of the world, they actually still liked to relocate the Star House to a more popular place. Whether they could go out was one thing, but it would also seem more lively if there were people nearby.
But now, when they stood on the terrace of the star house, looking at the endless desert and the towering peaks outside, they felt an incomparable sense of freedom and joy, as if they had walked into a time tunnel. The world was so quiet, and only the sound of time passing by remained in their ears.
In the past, if they wanted to come to such a deep desert, they had to take a plane to a nearby big city, then take a car to the town, and then they had to sign up for a tour group or find a local guide to change to a car suitable for driving on sandy land, and then have a special driver to enter the desert.
After a bumpy journey, they may not have had a very satisfying time because they cannot stay overnight in the desert - unless it is a homestay specially built in the desert, but such homestays are generally popular online homestays, with a price of several thousand yuan per night, and they are always fully booked, so it is difficult to book a room they like.
But now, after just one night's sleep at home, when they wake up in the morning and look out the window, they are already in the depths of the desert, enjoying this extraordinary natural scenery.
I have to say, this feeling is great.
In the evening of the first day of the Star House reset, they were grilling on the terrace to prepare for dinner, and there was a sandstorm outside, which came from far away and looked different from an ordinary sandstorm.
When they got the sand and moved to the nearby area, the yellow sand at the bottom of the sand was blown up into the sky, as if a huge blower was blowing out from under the sand layer.
A strange-shaped creature jumped out from where the sand was blown up. It was black in color, had a long tail, and was over three meters long. It looked strange and scary.
It fluttered in the air and drilled into another layer of sand, as if it was trying to catch something.
The sand outside was even stronger, and the creature sometimes drilled out of the sand layer and sometimes disappeared. It took a while for it to calm down. The strange black creature finally succeeded in its prey, and then drilled under the sand layer with its prey, disappearing from their sight.
You Feng was stunned: "This... This place is quite dangerous." He originally thought that there were no plants and few animals here, so it would be safer, but it was obvious that the creatures here were few and terrifying.
"It doesn't matter, didn't your daughter say she would take us on an airship?" Although Fan Qi was also frightened by the creature just now, he was in the absolutely safe star house after all, so he quickly calmed down.
"There will also be large mutant creatures in the sky, right?"
"That's true..."
"Actually, it's good to stay at home. If you're bored, just go to the next stop earlier."
"Well, safety should still be put first."
You Feng and Fan Qi discussed it one after another, but when You Xi introduced the basic configuration of the high-altitude airship the next morning, both of them were stunned.
Getting rid of the huge airbag, relying on built-in driftwood and new mineral fuel to take off, automatic intelligent driving, automatic defense system, the hull is made of high-strength new materials that can withstand extremely high and low temperatures, three layers of explosion-proof glass, four generators, four air filters, two central temperature control systems, two 500L water tanks, two 300L fully automatic garbage compression processors, heavy machine guns, small missile launchers, missile interceptors...
This... Is this definitely describing a high-altitude airship? Not a combat boat! ?
Half an hour later, when Fan Qi and You Feng sat in the sofa leisure area, looking at the ground getting farther and farther away through the transparent glass floor under their feet, they finally couldn't help but sigh.
They should have known that the things their daughter brought out would not be bad.
The airship takes off at an extremely fast speed, but it is stable and quiet, and there is almost no startup noise. It has strong defense capabilities, gorgeous and smart interiors, and all the necessary home furnishings and home appliances inside the airship. It is like a luxurious castle in the sky.
Youxi hasn't been in the airship for a long time. Before the high-altitude airship was put away last time, Hei Mu and Xi Yuan cleaned and tidied every corner. It was stored in the space of the vehicle without dust and damage.
When the family of three stepped in this time, everything was bright and new.
After she set the airship to the take-off altitude, she turned on the automatic intelligent driving, then opened all the sunshades on the glass windows and glass floor of the airship, checked the water tanks, and filled the two tanks with water.
Then, she went to the kitchen area and put all kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits, seafood, meat, eggs, milk, various drinks, ice cream, and various rice, flour, oil, and dry goods and seasonings into the refrigerator and food cabinets... so that Fan Qi and You Feng could use them at any time.
You Xi had a hunch that after getting on the boat this time, You Feng and Fan Qi would not be able to get off the boat so easily.
Facts proved that her guess was correct.
They floated in the sky for a total of fifteen days, traveled through the entire desert Gobi area, and followed the Wanren Mountain Range in the uninhabited area all the way to the snow-capped mountains in the southwest, floating above the snow-capped mountain peaks for several days.
Along the way, Xing Min helped them plan the route, and the airship was equipped with anti-surveillance defenses, so they flew safely and were not discovered by the Chinese troops. They
were disturbed by large mutant creatures in the air a few times, but they quickly got rid of them by taking off quickly and sweeping by air raids.
They had completely forgotten about the star house until fifteen days later, when they returned home by teleportation.
In the past, if travelers had been away for such a long time and returned home, they would have collapsed from exhaustion, but now they were full of energy and decided to reset the star house that night.
"Where is the next stop?" After floating in the sky for more than ten days, You Feng had already forgotten the route he had planned.
"I wrote it down. Let me take a look." Fan Qi took out his phone. The second place on the list was the Coral Island Country.
Four days later, Youxi walked out of the water house where the Star House was located, stepped across the floor of the water house's living room, and came to the central passage connecting the water house to the island.
Bean Sprout lay on her hair, and the small bud on the top finally blossomed into a beautiful red rose. However, compared to lying on her shoulder before, it now prefers to lie on her hair. I don't know if it's because it's proud that it finally bloomed.
However, the result of this change was particularly abrupt. When she stood there now, there was a rose swaying in the wind on her hair, looking like a flower maniac...
Youxi sighed, holding her forehead and looking around.
The water houses around here are too close to the sea and are frequently disturbed by small marine creatures, so they are basically abandoned. However, she has already discovered the survivors gathered in the middle of the island through the drone yesterday.
She released the silver RV, said hello to the plants on the island, and then got on the car in their joyful mood.
"Star House" is about to start a new round of business!
**
Half a year later, the people on G Blue Star have survived the most difficult early disaster and tried to rebuild their homes in a new place bit by bit, but the planet was severely damaged and the most critical manufacturing workshops and factories could not be restored for a while.
Everyone has just found a way to coexist peacefully with the mutant plants, and they dare not make a big fuss, so the reconstruction progress is extremely slow.
But no matter how slow it is, everything is finally in progress. Although many people are negative and desperate, there are more people working hard. More than
half a year later, not long after the evolution legend spread to all parts of the planet through radio broadcasts, a rumor about the magical "Star House" RV began to appear frequently on radio in various places.
It will appear in any place irregularly and irregularly, and the owner looks different every time it appears.
When the survivors there need help and come forward to ask for help sincerely, the owner of the Star House will provide help. When the survivors there have evil intentions and want to take advantage of the "Star House" or other survivors who have obtained supplies, they will be taught a lesson.
The lessons include but are not limited to: 1. Recite loudly the rainbow farts from all over the planet and all countries on the body of the Star House - no, praise, the above words are in various languages, there is always one that suits (can be understood).
2. Be blacklisted by the Star House and no longer allowed to trade.
3. Those who are stubborn and secretly plan to cause trouble again will be unilaterally beaten by the store manager (there are also rumors that it is the surrounding plants that unilaterally beat these people.)
...
In short, this is a magical little store that responds to every request. In the darkest moment of this planet, it uses its small sparks to bring hope to people all over the world.
**
Late at night, Youxi was awakened.
[Come here, I have something to show you. ]
"Come here? Where to?" She got out of bed barefoot, and just as she stood up, her body disappeared into the room.
She went to the "other side" of the wall again. She had been there once before, when her superpowers were implanted. On the surface, she only passed through a wall, but in fact, she passed through countless galaxies.
She came to the real space outside the star house again - the interior of the huge spaceship.
Only this time, she was awake.
She had seen the whole picture of the spaceship through her consciousness, and knew that it was huge and cold, deep and dark, but this time the space she appeared in was particularly bright and warm.
The ground of the spaceship was a soft and elastic material, and she could feel a comfortable temperature when she stepped on it barefoot.
A row of bright three-dimensional indicator lights lit up in front of her, as if guiding her direction.
She followed the indicator lights and quickly passed through several spaces and came to the side of the spaceship with huge portholes.
"What do you want me to see?" You Xi asked again.
When she was inside the spaceship, Xing Min's voice no longer rang from her head, but came from all around her, low and gentle: "Xiaoxi, look out the window."
Youxi approached the porthole. This time, the space outside the spaceship was no longer the vast deep space, but a beautiful aquamarine planet directly below the spaceship.
"Xiaoxi, your planet is so beautiful from this angle."
Youxi suddenly understood: "You broke through the space-time gap that trapped the spaceship!?"
"Well." There was a hint of laughter in his voice. "I have solved all the mysteries of time and space. After 825 years, the spaceship finally got rid of the dilemma. It traveled through time and space and came to your world in a real way.
Now, the spaceship is only one step away from G Blue Star. In the future, you will no longer need to consume huge amounts of energy to enter and exit the spaceship freely.
Xiaoxi, this is your spaceship. It has a complete planting cabin, Feeding cabins, processing cabins, mechanical manufacturing cabins... Now that the spaceship has enough energy, you can reopen these cabins. We can make everything you need... You can do whatever you want.
We can protect your planet together. "
You Xi quickly understood what he meant. She looked at the beautiful planet outside the porthole, and her heart was filled with infinite warmth and strength: "Well, let's go together."
Together.
Just like every time he went to the mission world before, he accompanied her in various ways, experienced together, saved each other, and became each other's light and hope.
