That was an ocean that had never appeared on the Utopia map.
Vast, deep, and boundless, the clear moonlight reflected on the ocean surface, undulating with the tides and the sea breeze. It was unlike any other stream, far more breathtaking than lakes and streams.
Take a deep breath and your lungs will be filled with the cool smell of the sea breeze.
Gu Yumian held all the cubs in his arms and fell rapidly in the night sky. The sound of the wind and his violent heartbeat and breathing kept echoing in his ears.
For ordinary people on ancient Earth who have only bungee jumped a few times and have never jumped with a skydive, this feels too exciting.
Gu Yumian only glanced down, and after a moment of shock, he tried to close his eyes and whispered in the children's ears:
"Close your eyes."
The little fox had been in a daze for quite a while, with a peaceful expression as if he was about to achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven. Little Tangyuan and the little Husky also looked a little scared and uneasy.
Fortunately, after being hugged by Gu Yumian, the fear and anxiety gradually shrank. Gu Yumian's arms were not spacious enough to block all wind and rain, but they were definitely warm and reliable enough.
The little snow leopard was not affected at all. In order not to appear abnormal, it pretended reluctantly and patted Gu Yumian's neck with one paw as if to comfort him.
Their speed first increased rapidly as they fell, then slowly slowed down as they approached the sea level, and finally they sank into the water with a 'splash', stirring up a burst of bubbles.
More than 800 million viewers have gone from being surprised and shocked at the beginning to being very interested at this moment.
[Opportunity: Damn, this is awesome! ! What other amusement park could possibly offer something like this?]
User 182786: Stop talking. I've been to Utopia three or four times, and I haven't experienced anything like this.
[Lemon Pomelo Qiqi: I've removed the holographic device and am now lying flat on my back, like a Buddha. I have the same expression as Qiuqiu... Keep calm, cultivate your character. Let everything flow, and you'll find freedom.]
[super: Let me make a bold guess: Utopia is going to open an ocean map =U=]
Many of Utopia's settings were drawn from military and medical technology, such as the World Tree illusion from before. Another example was the moment where the invisible protective measures had clearly taken effect.
Gu Yumian and his companions, as well as the audience, can not only experience the most realistic feeling, but their cardiopulmonary and other organ functions will not be damaged due to speed, altitude, lack of oxygen, etc., and their heart will not be overloaded.
After being in the water for about ten seconds, the little snow leopard anxiously patted Gu Yumian's forehead with its paw pads, and he realized that he needed to breathe and open his eyes.
It's strange, but although my skin could feel the touch and density of the sea water, and my clothes were wet and stuck to my skin, I could still breathe normally and there was no stinging when I opened my eyes.
The vision gradually brightened from dimness.
Little Tangyuan and the little fox had originally covered their eyes with their paws, huddled together in Gu Yumian's arms, a little scared. Now, they couldn't resist their curiosity and cautiously peeked out through the gaps between their paws.
“…”
Little Tangyuan sucked his fingers and made a dull "嘤" sound.
What appeared before their eyes was an underwater world that was not quite the same as they had imagined.
Turtles and whales acted as public buses, carrying mermaids and aquatic creatures of all sizes on their backs, slowly moving through the city. The colorful signboards, always ablaze with light, were clearly celebrating a festival today, with bursts of colorful fireworks erupting from the city center from time to time, creating waves in the water.
Looking closely, they discovered that the entire city was built on the dragon's skeleton. The ribs were residential areas, and the entire spine to the tailbone was a long bridge cable, the highest point reaching the water. They were now gently stepping on the top of the dragon's skull, overlooking the entire city from top to bottom.
That should be a giant dragon that has lived for a long time. Gu Yumian originally thought that the giant dragon Nick was already big enough, but compared with this giant dragon skeleton that can carry an entire city, it is still far behind.
This city is located in the deep sea all year round, and has colorful lights on all year round. It is even more lively than Utopia.
Like some kind of Ukiyo-e, the underwater city appears so prosperous and ancient, as if it has many stories to tell people.
This is its first encounter with this world.
"Welcome." A sea turtle, moving extremely slowly, stopped in front of them. "Dear guests from afar."
Gu Yumian thought to himself.
Welcome to this charming and unknown underwater city-state.
In the ocean at night, the moonlight still ripples in the shallow layer, and further down are the colorful lights of the prosperous city in the sea.
Several children involuntarily quieted down. Gu Yumian, with the little snow leopard on his shoulder, stood on the top of the huge dragon's head. The waves on the seabed swept all his hair back. The lights of the city festival went out for a moment, and all the aquatic creatures in the city bowed to them from afar.
In particular, the live broadcast system automatically zoomed out and captured a few seconds of the God's perspective.
The scene was so beautiful and shocking that it almost had an epic feel.
Many people’s hands are sore from pressing screenshots.
The popularity has been rising all night, and at this moment, it has actually jumped up a lot.
…Online viewers, 870 million.
No wonder the hidden plot is called a huge easter egg.
Utopia has been established for many years. It has always had the main city-state where orcs and elves live on land, the sky city where gods and dragons live in the sky, and now with the addition of an underwater city, the entire map has finally been thoroughly explored.
It’s also thanks to the Utopia officials that they could hold back. They were able to keep such a big city secret and not announce it until it was revealed as a hidden plot Easter egg.
Half an hour later.
"Looks like we'll be sleeping here tonight."
The feeling of talking and walking underwater was very strange. Gu Yumian was a little uncomfortable with it:
"Mr. Nick and his team have already delivered our luggage and said they would host us for one night as a thank you for the food we treated them to earlier."
Unfortunately, I don’t have much time to visit Utopia this time, so I may not have the chance to explore the entire underwater city, but I will definitely have the chance in the future.
Being able to sleep in the sea for a night is a rare experience.
When speaking underwater, it will spit out a string of bubbles like a fish.
The little snow leopard liked to stretch out its claws to touch the bubbles spit out by Gu Yumian. The bubbles would burst with a slight touch. Then its claws would poke the bubbles from the big ones to the small ones, and finally press on Gu Yumian's lips.
Before Gu Yumian could react, the little guy's ears turned red, for some unknown reason.
The little snow leopard looked away awkwardly, but soon couldn't hide its joy at looking at him again.
Gu Yumian: “?”
The little snow leopard seemed to be in a good mood that night. No matter how much the little fox and the little glutinous rice dumpling clung to Gu Yumian, it just pushed their heads away subtly, without giving them the death stare like before.
[Powder Puff: Mianmian really does look a bit like a mermaid, and Shark Sha is a good match.]
[Coco: Host, I think your Tuantuan's mentality seems to have changed. He used to look at other kids with a sour look, but lately, that look has occasionally switched to one of disdain while trying hard to force himself to accept it...]
[Bingshan: Yes, I sometimes feel that way too. When Tuantuan looks at Yuanyuan and the others, her eyes are like a stepmother looking at her husband's doting stepchildren, who are not related to her by blood, swinging wildly between dignified kindness and jealousy.]
If Gu Yumian had just looked up at the barrage at this moment, he might have had a flash of inspiration and grasped that clue, but unfortunately he did not have this opportunity.
With so many viewers and such a thick barrage of comments, it is not surprising that more than a dozen of them suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
Gu Yumian and the children were sitting on the back of a turtle.
The turtle carried them down along the bridge made of the dragon's spine and gradually entered the city center.
"Hello."
The passing fish blew bubbles to greet them in a friendly manner, so Gu Yumian also held the paws of the cubs and greeted the fish one by one in a friendly manner.
Schools of fish, big and small, swam past us, their colorful appearance was very beautiful. These fish were the inhabitants of the underwater city.
Occasionally there would be mermaids, starfish and other creatures. The mermaids would bow their heads to salute Gu Yumian. Gu Yumian originally guessed that it was because of the crown and shark veil on his head, but he felt that it was not entirely the case.
The mermaid and the dragon couple obviously have a special status in this underwater city... Of course not, they are one of the important protagonists in the Utopia series of movies.
“Chirp.”
Fortunately, the effect of the water pressure had been offset by the device, otherwise, at this depth, their internal organs would have been crushed. At first, they were not used to the resistance and feeling of the water, but after getting used to it, they gradually found it fun.
Little Tangyuan held the little fox's paws and let it "fly". The little fox's fluffy tail spread out in the water, which really looked like wings.
The little Husky was so happy that he couldn't take his eyes off it. Today, he first fulfilled his dream of turning into a dragon and flying, and then fulfilled his dream of turning into a fish and swimming. He happily leaned in Gu Yumian's arms and stuck out his tongue.
"Do you think this city is a bit like... No, nothing."
The closer they got to the city center, the stronger this feeling became. The architectural style of this underwater city wasn't particularly utopian. Utopians on land were more fairytale-like, but underwater cities were noticeably more—modern?
Neon signs, commercial streets, a mermaid girl sitting on a whale bus, looking at the new scales on her tail, applying lipstick and chatting.
It gave Gu Yumian a very familiar feeling, very similar to the ancient Earth where he had lived for more than 20 years.
Vivian: Yes, the style here is more ancient, a bit like the style of ancient Earth's apocalyptic era architecture. It's very realistic and I find it very interesting. By the way, I studied architecture and am currently studying the history of ancient Earth architecture.
[Meow: Someone in my family is studying this. Thinking back to the restored photos of the ancient Earth I saw, and then thinking about its current appearance, I feel inexplicably emotional. TvT]
Because the 21st century of ancient Earth was the last era of resource conflicts, wars and turmoil on ancient Earth, the era in which Gu Yumian once lived was also called the "Doomsday Era" in the interstellar space.
Gu Yumian was a little dazed for a moment.
"What's happening to the ancient Earth now?"
So many years have passed, and that beautiful blue planet seems to have gone through several cycles.
At the beginning, the environment deteriorated to the point where it was uninhabitable. It was only a long time after the beginning of the interstellar era that interstellar residents began to mine and rebuild this mother planet. Now, only a small number of troops are stationed there to carry out mining work.
The mining work is extremely confidential. Gu Yumian had some contact with it when he went to the Academy of Sciences, but he could only access the shallowest part.
“Hmm.”
The always boisterous little Tangyuan calmed down, leaning against Gu Yumian's chest, sucking his fingers and watching the streets of the underwater city with him. The little husky wailed twice, tugged at the corner of Gu Yumian's clothes in confusion, and was tickled by him on the chin.
Little Snow Leopard: “…”
What happened to Ancient Earth? Did he like that planet very much? Why was he sad?
In its eyes, it was just an insignificant wasteland planet, where some insignificant things would be mined occasionally.
Gu Yumian never confides his negative emotions to the other children. The little snow leopard knows that he doesn't belong here, but he can't guess where he came from.
The little snow leopard looked at Gu Yumian, not liking Gu Yumian's sad expression at the moment, and swung its long tail anxiously.
He began to think about this problem seriously.
If I give that insignificant planet to Gu Yumian, will he be happier?
