Chapter 194 Struggling in the Quagmire



As he stepped into this familiar homeland, Gu Xingmiao's heart became extremely peaceful.

I thought that one day I would really return to the world 4,000 years ago, but I never thought that I would appear on this land for such a short time in this way.

Looking at the familiar sky and the extremely familiar buildings, everything seems like yesterday. Even the time travel has become so hazy and blurred, like a dreamy and noisy dream.

But the teammates around him proved that all this was not a dream, but something that was really happening——

There were also extremely complicated emotions flashing in her eyes. At this moment, she also focused all her attention on the window and did not notice that Teacher 01 beside her seemed to be distracted frequently.

Everyone in the team was so excited that they didn't notice the danger coming.

The discussion in the live broadcast room became increasingly heated.

More and more people believe that the world appearing in the live broadcast room is their current world, that is, the present in the 22nd century.

Two parallel lines that should not intersect actually intersect at this moment due to the influence of some external force.

While they were looking forward to Gu Xingmiao and others passing by their hometown, they were also panicking, fearing the unknown would come.

The more similar and closer they are, the more fearful humans feel about the coming of the end of the world.

The world that used to be full of laughter and chatter with my friends online is now destroyed.

But when this happened at my doorstep, it wasn't funny at all.

Citizens of Chang'an: Haha, I can't laugh, not at all.

The citizens of Chang'an were all furious. Officials had arrived and were trying their best to calm the situation and get everyone in Chang'an to continue watching the live broadcast.

People cannot judge the entire result based on just one or two things. This is unfair to human beings.

This is also irresponsible to themselves.

After hearing the reassurances from the Chinese upper echelons, many citizens finally calmed down. They also realized that noisy arguments were meaningless...

But the quarrel at this time is not about gaining any meaning, but about wanting a sense of security.

A sense of security that Chang'an is still defended and prosperous.

"I've already said that pollution has actually invaded the Earth a long time ago, otherwise there wouldn't be such a sudden and strange outbreak. Didn't you see that the live broadcast revealed this..." A researcher said excitedly, even spitting out saliva while speaking.

"But the pollution is spreading. Why hasn't any weirdness appeared? Even if they are playing a big game on Earth, they should have revealed themselves long ago." Another person said.

Xiao He's voice sounded a little cold, but he still remained calm. Since the teacher was not around, he needed to calm the situation. Naturally, he couldn't let these people from the research institute quarrel over trivial matters.

"Is it possible that there are these strange and terrifying things on Earth and they dare not come out?" he said slowly.

"If that's what you said, then these guys should have stayed in dark corners forever. Why do they all come out to fight humans in the end? This really goes against common sense." Another researcher retorted fiercely.

"That means the Earth's defense has been broken." Xiao He said this very calmly, without any emotion in his eyes.

When he finished speaking, all those who were about to continue arguing suddenly became silent, and even staring at those dark eyes made them feel a chill on their backs.

The earth's defense was broken.

This was a situation they had never expected.

If, in the future, humans rely on old objects, or the spirits of their ancestors to protect themselves, then as the largest carrier of old objects, does the ancient Earth itself have the powerful power to protect humans?

It's just that due to some circumstances, the power of the earth is weakening and can no longer protect mankind.

Humans are forced to face the weirdness head-on and fight with it for life and death, thus constantly gaining protection through their own strength.

"...This is impossible?" Someone broke the current calm, but when he spoke, his voice became extremely hoarse.

At this moment, Xiao He suddenly wanted to smile, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Of course, this is just my guess."

"That's right, haha, what you said is really scary, how could it be due to this reason..." After the air stagnated strangely for a few seconds, someone seemed to let out a dry laugh, breaking the frozen scene.

"Yeah, if that's the case, it's too scary. I don't think that's the reason..."

"Yeah..." The others continued to speak, changing the subject.

Everyone knew that this matter should be discussed in detail, but at this moment no one dared to touch this topic.

It seemed so taboo.

But Mr. Zhang clearly didn't want to let the topic go. His tone was solemn and serious: "What exactly do you want to do by doing this? What does this mean?"

"As scientific researchers, we should pursue truth above all else. Why should we ignore the cruel truth that we need to face, thinking that we don't have to face it?" Mr. Zhang was obviously angry when he said this. His face turned red and he even knocked his crutch on the ground several times.

Many people hung their heads in shame.

What Mr. Zhang taught was correct.

They know it very well.

"Xiao He wouldn't have such a guess without reason, and your changing the subject just shows that the thing you are most worried about and afraid of has been guessed, and it has been said by Xiao He." Old Zhang's eyes swept across the researchers in front of him with some sharpness.

Although they lowered their heads, his gaze was like a knife, burning them.

"Even though we know the end of the world is coming, we still try to escape."

"You clearly saw that the world these people came to belongs to the 22nd century, but you still tried to deceive yourselves?! It's ridiculous! Are you going to do this now that Professor Qin is not here?" Old Zhang's tone was filled with deep disappointment.

Many people clenched their fists, then suddenly relaxed them, obviously feeling a little deflated.

"We're not like that either, but when I saw that the world those people in the live broadcast room had arrived in was our era... I couldn't help but feel a little panicked."

"Me too. Even though I've been hearing rumors that the world will end soon, I never thought it would be this fast..."

"I am very afraid that human civilization will disappear, and I am even more afraid that mankind will actually face such terror." Many people even choked up as they spoke.

These people were extremely strong before, and could even be considered scientific research fanatics. To outsiders, they all seemed to be extremely emotionally stable.

But now, all these people have red eyes.

It seems that I have lost the courage to explore the way forward.
