Chapter 169 Contents of the Book of History
Although he was very curious about this history book, Wen Ning remained rational.
Suppressing the remaining fear in his heart, Wen Ning first asked 001 to take Hu Zi back to the shelter.
Ah Zi approached and asked with concern, and Wen Ning comforted her.
"It's okay. He's still growing. He'll be awake before dinner."
This is true. I wonder if Hu Zi’s size will change after this upgrade.
Ah Zi nodded and immediately served Wen Ning some delicious food.
The time inside the ruins is different from reality. It is already four o'clock in the afternoon.
Wen Ning realized belatedly that he was hungry.
With the feast prepared by the thoughtful Ah Zi, Wen Ning asked 001 to return to the guard cabin to rest.
Only then did he open the book of history in his hand.
"System, open the book of history."
The parchment scroll spun and a holographic image appeared.
Wen Ning looked up.
The picture that emerged was of a warm family where a family of three were eating breakfast in harmony.
The little daughter smiled as sweetly as a silver bell at the dining table. The man of the house finished his meal, put on his coat and walked to the door.
Accept the farewell kiss from your gentle wife and lovely daughter.
Then change shoes and go out.
It was a very ordinary day, as simple as that of most humans on the blue planet.
This might be the Blue Planet before the disaster.
Wen Ning guessed.
Or maybe it’s not the Blue Planet, but a parallel planet like the Blue Planet.
Because in Wen Ning's memory, they traveled through time suddenly and had no memory of any disaster.
Soon the scene changed, and the man went out and complained to his neighbors about the increasing haze in the sky.
Neighbors agreed.
The two of them walked and complained to each other.
The air quality in cities is getting worse and worse, managers are not taking any action, and garbage classification is just a slogan.
There have been some disasters recently. The country next door disappeared in a volcanic eruption and the entire island sank.
Volcanic ash has traveled across oceans to countries around the world, and rising temperatures have also caused glaciers to melt. :
Many tsunamis occur in coastal areas.
The temperature has become unpredictable. The weather forecast says that the temperature will enter summer, but in June, heavy snow may suddenly fall outside.
"This horrible weather is caused by humans not caring about the environment!"
The man complained and threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the grass.
An ambiguous look flashed across the neighbor's face, and he spoke softly.
"If you want, we can change the world."
The man was stunned for a moment, then he laughed. How is it possible? Human nature will accelerate the consumption of this planet.
This behavior is irreversible.
Don't be naive.
The neighbor's eyes sparkled, but he still insisted: "If you want, 'we' can change the world."
But the host seemed not to hear the words he emphasized and just laughed it off.
The two men walked farther and farther away, and the sanitation worker picked up the cigarette butt thrown away by the man and threw it accurately into the hazardous waste bin.
He was muttering to himself.
“We can change the world.”
Time passed, and in a blink of an eye it was time for the man to get off work.
The doorbell rang. The hostess prepared a table of delicious food. The daughter was lying at the door babbling, waiting for her father who had been working all day.
When the man got home, he touched his daughter's round face, washed his hands, and then went to the dining table.
Looking at the four dishes and one soup on the table, he did not praise his wife as usual.
Instead, he severely criticized his wife for being extravagant.
The wife was puzzled and started arguing with the man.
The little daughter held the bowl of rice, not knowing what she had done wrong, and burst into tears.
Her round face was flushed from crying, and she sobbed and pulled at the corner of the man's clothes.
The male host seemed to suddenly come to his senses and hugged his daughter in his arms. The female host slammed the door angrily and didn't want to eat anymore.
The man held his daughter in his arms and coaxed her, muttering to himself.
"We can obviously change........."
The emotion in his eyes gradually became paranoid and crazy, and finally turned into determination.
The daughter in her father's arms had tears in her eyes and could not see her father's expression.
The scene changed, and it was still this family of three. The youngest daughter had grown up to about four or five years old, and the hostess was preparing dinner.
For some reason, both the mother and daughter looked pale and thin, with prominent cheekbones and extremely thin arms and legs.
There is an electronic scale in front of the hostess, and she is measuring the food strictly according to the requirements to ensure that no one exceeds the standard.
A TV program was being broadcast on TV. The host looked pale and thin. He was sitting there swaying and could not even hold up his suit.
He spoke weakly, and the microphone, which was so close to him, could only pick up his breathy sounds.
The picture is weird and outrageous.
At this time the doorbell rang.
The little daughter took staggering steps and opened the door with shining eyes, welcoming her father in.
My father is also very thin, but his eyes are bright and he looks very ambitious.
The first thing he said when he entered the door was to praise his daughter for looking better today.
The little girl lowered her head shyly, and there was no blush on her sallow face.
After waiting obediently for her father to change his shoes, the little daughter looked up and asked cautiously, "Is it time to eat?"
The man nodded and took his little daughter to the dining table.
The dinner for the family of three was very simple, without even a trace of oil, but the male host praised the female host for her excellent cooking skills.
And announced at the dinner table that their family of three had been selected for the Digital Life Program.
This made the hostess very excited, and the two pairs of bony hands were clasped together.
They said in unison: "We can change the world."
The scene ended here, and Wen Ning almost finished watching it with a frown on his brow.
Is this how the whole thing started?
What does this have to do with the wasteland?
Or was this what the wasteland planet looked like at the beginning? Same as Blue Star?
Wen Ning carefully recalled the fourth volume of the history book he had read last time, trying to find some connections from it.
After a while, he shook his head and couldn't connect.
Looking at the first volume of this history book, Wen Ning felt it was very heavy. This family of three should represent a microcosm of all the people on this planet.
Why is this happening all over the planet?
famine?
Or is it brainwashing by a cult?
The repeated appearance of the same sentence in this passage made Wen Ning feel that it was not so simple.
"If we can find the second and third volumes of the history book, we should be able to connect."
Wen Ning still has a relic summoning scroll, so let's wait until Hu Zi is upgraded.
And the dark secret of the world that the system talked about has not been solved.
Instead, it added some doubts and made Wen Ning very uncomfortable.
"Forget it, let's clean up the spoils first!"
Shake your head and don’t dwell on things you can’t figure out. This is what my master taught me.
It is easy for Wen Ning to pick up something, and it is also quite easy for him to put it down.
At this moment, she was attracted by the two relic boxes in the backpack.
