Chapter 200 The Current Situation of the Survivors



P.S.: I heard there are double monthly passes during the National Day holiday. If it's convenient, please give me some! Thank you everyone! Thank you everyone!

"On the morning of the 30th local time, Lawrence Cathedral in Palo Alto was found to have suffered major damage, and local police have launched an investigation."

"It is reported that the interior facilities of the church were almost completely destroyed, the main structure was damaged to varying degrees, and all glass facilities, including the skylights, were shattered."

"Police deduced that an explosion occurred inside that night, as there were traces of the blast impact on the marble floor and the concrete foundation at the bottom."

"But strangely, none of the residents in the nearby neighborhood heard any noise from inside the church on the evening of the 29th. At the same time, a large amount of piercing and chopping damage was found on the church's pillars, some walls and the ground."

"Based on this, the police deduced that it was most likely the work of a violent gang."

...

"We will continue to follow up on this story. This is Live News, and this is Bruce!"

As the news report ended on TV, Lovett snapped the remote off.

Doyle was sitting on the sofa with him.

A day and a half has passed since the incident, and Doyle has just been released from the local police station. The police were originally going to charge him with obstructing official business by making a false report of a serious case, but he was released on bail by his family.

As soon as he left the police station, Doyle went straight to Lovett's house, where the two chatted and ate like old friends who had known each other for many years, and watched the news on TV in a harmonious atmosphere.

"Doyle, take care!"

"I will miss you, Lovett."

...

Residents of this apartment building, especially those on the fifth floor, will notice that the trash cans that were originally located on the left side next to the elevator have been moved to the right side. According to the cleaning staff, this was requested by the building manager, Mr. Doyle.

Some residents would occasionally ask the apartment manager, Doyle, why he did this. Doyle would pause for a few seconds and then reply, "Because a hero once fell in that corner."

After a while, all the trash cans next to the building's elevator were moved to the right side, and no one asked about it anymore.

...

After watching the spectacle, Wu You found it quite enjoyable, as did the other alchemical creatures.

With ancient trees in the air, Wu You suddenly realized that, in some ways, the effect of mental connection was even more powerful than the system's built-in observation mode.

Does this mean I can surpass the system? I'm a little excited just thinking about it.

However, I realized that it had been a while since I visited my alien friends, and I wondered how those tiny, long-tailed, azure aliens were doing.

With his powerful mental strength and resulting memory ability, Wu You has memorized a large portion of the star map's imagery and location information.

As usual, I arrived at the ancient tree and, after thinking for a moment, flew up to the trunk and sat down.

Usage permission: Observer's Eye.

A moment of mental disorientation and tremor followed, and then consciousness soared to new heights once more.

Wu You's consciousness once again arrived at the location of that strange, unnamed nebula, but to his disappointment, the surrounding environment did not match the star map that Wu You knew.

I don't know if this place is beyond the range of human observation, but with the narrow definition of human observation, we can be wrong even at places that are not very close. Pluto has been the ninth planet for so many years.

System notification: A life force has been detected. Please increase your awareness to search and pursue it.

This time, Wu You was familiar with the route and could follow the clues from the source of the information from last time.

Soon, consciousness entered that time tunnel and transformed into a stream of light, traveling through it.

Wu You returned to that planetary system, his consciousness suspended in the outer reaches of the Azure Star.

The fluctuations in the biological information belonging to the Blue Star people have decreased considerably, but compared to the precipitous drop on the first day, the current situation is still acceptable.

Wu You looked left and right in observer mode, but couldn't find any star map that could help him deal with the environment inside this galaxy.

But it doesn't matter, it just means that this place is relatively far from Earth.

With our current level of technology, once the distance exceeds a certain point, the only things we can observe are naturally stars.

By expanding the scope of observation again and again, we finally started to get a sense of it.

I realized I was currently in the Andromeda Galaxy, which is a neighbor of the Milky Way, but at least two million light-years away, so it shouldn't be considered close.

"Mother, we need your help... Mother, we need your help..."

A voice, like a low murmur, resounded deep within Wu You's mind. It was clearly Garma, with some indistinct background noise nearby.

Interesting. It's somewhat like the consciousness fluctuations of alchemical creatures, only much more superficial. Is it because my mental communication with it last time was so frequent and had such a profound impact on it?

Wu You's observer consciousness rushed into the atmosphere and followed the source of the information to a cliff face.

This is a huge cliff with a drop of more than 100 meters and a width of more than 1,000 meters. In the middle of the cliff, it looks as if a giant god chopped it with an axe, creating a long and deep crack.

The depth of the crack varies from ten to twenty meters, and its length is nearly two hundred meters. At the top is a large waterfall that extends and covers almost half of the crack. Although there is no large flow of water in other areas, the outer rock walls are covered with slippery moss-like plants due to moisture.

At the bottom of the cliff is a huge lake, and the crack is about twenty meters above the water.

The only way to get in and out of the crevice is to take a boat to the bottom of the cliff and then go up a small natural slope that connects to the water.

This is indeed an excellent place to hide from those mutated monsters.

The slippery cliffs made them impossible to climb, and the large lake at the bottom served as an excellent moat; the monsters seemed to dislike water.

Such a space of several thousand square meters is barely considered crowded for a hundred people.

A small survivor settlement has begun to take shape.

This kid's doing a good job; there must be almost a hundred people now.

Moreover, there was clearly a division of labor here: some of the Azure People were building dwellings with a jumble of tools, while others were reinforcing a spiked wooden fence that was upside down blocking the sloping path.

Several wild animals being skinned and processed, along with a pile of wild vegetables, were also prepared by a professional.

This place, nestled in the forest, is a haven for survivors.

Garma was still calling out "Mother," but Wu You didn't respond for the time being. Instead, he turned his attention to the metal rods held by several blue-haired people.

What is this thing?

It has a lead wire, is long and cylindrical, with an opening at the front and a closed rear end.

Holy crap, is this a firearm? Things from Earth hundreds of years ago were more advanced than this.

Wu You had always wondered why the Blue People, with their remarkable mechanical sophistication and steam technology, didn't have any decent weapons.

It turns out there really were some pitiful firearms, if you can count them.

But what use is this thing against that kind of monster? Wu You didn't believe in its power, let alone its accuracy.

That monster is basically a "low-budget version" of the Licker from Resident Evil. Ordinary people would probably feel uneasy even with Earth's guns, so it's more reliable to use the Blue People's firearms as sticks.
