Chapter 89 Looking for Lu Yuan in the Dream
"Are we talking in a dream now?" Lu Qingqing looked at the empty Yunhai City. All the buildings were the same as in reality, except that there was no one around.
The scenes further away are even more hazy.
"Don't delve into this, you will wake up. You are all in the lucid dream I have created." Han Yue whispered, "You need to imagine a trigger that is impossible in reality. Just like the spinning top in Inception, only with a trigger can you distinguish between dreams and reality."
After the dreams of the three people were connected together, there was still one last step left: with the help of the person with the "searching people" ability, that is, the general manager Li Lan, find Lu Yuan who was far away in the sky, and then let his sister Lu Qingqing tell him in a dream.
These steps together are extremely difficult! Because this is in a dream, not the real world...
How to find someone? This is a big problem!
The time ratio on Lu Yuan's side is different from that in the safe zone.
In the time it took them to sleep, Lu Yuan might have spent forty or fifty days... Well, this is really magical.
In other words, they have to find Lu Yuan quickly the moment he falls asleep and send him a dream. The probability of this happening is as small as winning the lottery.
"Let's get started. Let's leave the safe zone and give it a try."
The scene became increasingly blurry.
The three of them, guided by their "pathfinding" ability, actually crossed the safe zone.
The light curtain has been crossed.
They faced the vast Pangu Continent.
Then the whole world went dark.
A nameless fog rose from nowhere.
The murmurs sounded like whispers under the stars.
"Why do I feel like there's one more person in the team...there are four people in total?" Lu Qingqing was trembling all over.
"There are five of us now!"
"Six people?"
Humans are not the only ones who possess divine skills.
In the brilliant dream, one eye after another slowly opened, mocking and laughing at the incompetent human beings.
Each star in the sky represented an eye, staring at me vaguely, and then scrambling to move! The dream suddenly became dark and quickly turned into a horrible nightmare.
In the void, there were even sounds of chewing and swallowing.
"We have to wake up. Something may be disturbing us." Han Yue, who possesses the ability to "enter dreams", was nervous all over and led the team back to the safe zone.
Then, the team became three people again.
She wiped the sweat off her forehead and said, "Nightmare is often a sign of crisis. This sky is too unusual."
"There are other people with dream abilities in Pangu Continent..."
"It could be a monster, much stronger than us."
"Once we are attacked, we will die in our dreams."
…
The first dream induction ended in failure.
Only by trying it can you know how terrifying the outside world is.
Even though it is only the beginning of the Ninth Era, Pangu Continent is not something they can easily cross, nor is the dream world.
Li Lan, the person in charge of the "Pathfinding Project", estimated that if the ability values of the three of them were 100, the difficulty of the entire project might be over 100,000.
It is not something that can be accomplished at present.
She is so sad!
"Perhaps, we can unite with other cities?" Several staff officers discussed in the room.
"Since the ability in dreams can indeed transcend the safe zone... other cities should also have similar divine skills."
"But is it realistic to unite in a dream?"
"I think it's possible... What city wouldn't want to find Lu Yuan? At least we need to know whether he's dead or alive."
At the end of the discussion, Li Lan tapped the table lightly: "Let's first think of a way to use dreams to sense people in other cities 10,000 kilometers away."
"If you can't even sense this, it's impossible to find Lu Yuan who is who knows how many kilometers away."
…
In this way, Yunhai City made its own decision: to work hard on internal strength and external strength! Other cities have different situations.
Cities with relatively abundant resources managed to maintain stability and continued to discuss the "risk issues of Pangaea."
The information transmitted by Lu Yuan is indeed of great value.
Any ruler with a little bit of common sense would not bother about the question of "whether Lu Yuan is dead or not"... Instead, they would think about finding him.
There are also cities, like Yunhai City, that try to contact Lu Yuan through abilities.
"Jacob, you already know Lu Yuan's specific appearance and voice. Use your telepathic ability to confirm whether he is dead."
"Sir, this is impossible! I must have face-to-face contact before I can sense it, not just looking at photos or videos. My ability has its limits."
"What if there is one more person..."
A gypsy girl walked in from outside the door.
Fortune teller Jenny.
As an internationally renowned astrologer, she has been famous for many years.
He is famous around the world for his predictions of "Shinzo Abe's death", "Messi winning the World Cup", "Ukraine-Yugoslavia War", and "Trump and Portugal winning the US election".
Her ability is naturally divination.
The blonde lady smiled and said, "Mr. Jacob, Yunhai City has sent an invitation to the 'Path Finding Project'. I believe that international cooperation is necessary and the chances of success are not small."
"Lu Yuan's life or death is related to a lot of things."
The world of superpowers is full of wonders.
The existence of divine skills brings endless possibilities!
…
Of course, there are also cities with less abundant resources and less powerful governments, so they naturally cannot participate in the cooperation.
In other words, these governments themselves are a collection of corruption and chaos, and panic is still boiling in society.
Human civilization, the second branch, Kahelen, is in a state of anarchy.
All the supermarkets were looted.
The whole block was like a ghost town. Many cars were smashed and the gasoline inside was looted.
The bloodstains on the street changed from reddish brown to black, and occasionally a smelly corpse could be seen.
Even if people showed up, they came in groups, holding axes, machetes and other weapons.
In the power vacuum, gangsters and warlords became the real rulers.
But gangs and warlords cannot solve one problem: the food problem!
Kahelen is an arid city with low food production capacity. During the Earth period, food supplies were obtained through international trade for a long time, and there was not much food in the granary.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Now that international trade has disappeared, how can the huge food gap be filled?
When people are hungry, they will do anything! "Professor Toth, how can we solve the food problem? What about the supernatural crops in our city?" In the military camp, a general smoking a cigarette and wearing sunglasses asked a university professor.
The middle-aged professor did not dare to neglect it and immediately said, "Unfortunately, we do not have such scientific and technological strength."
"But if we open the granaries, distribute food, and plant potatoes right away, they will be mature in three or four months, which may be enough to solve the problem."
"General, we can't open the safe zone! We haven't spread the supernatural fire yet, we... will die!!"
"The water resources near our city have increased significantly. It's barely enough to open up farmland now!"
The general remained silent and did not speak.
With the collapse of governments, the current power structure is decentralized.
To put it bluntly, each gang acts independently, and there are probably tens of thousands of different gangs.
Some warlords were willing to open the granaries, but some were not.
Not everyone is willing to contribute their wealth to the common people and stabilize society.
"To cultivate farmland, a stable environment is needed. We don't have this condition for the time being. Everyone wants to rob, and no one is willing to cultivate the land."
For the poor, the only way is to open the safe zone and head towards Pangu Continent! After all, the right to vote is in their own hands. People are starving to death, so they can only take risks! Seeing the voting rate getting higher and higher, the knot of chaos still cannot be untied.
The general finished his cigarette and finally waved his hand and issued an order: "Spread this video and cause more panic!"
"We must lower the voter turnout... Even if people starve to death, the safe zones must not be revoked!"
As a result, the video of "Lu Yuan's battle with the donkey-headed monster" began to circulate widely in the second branch of human civilization, causing the highest degree of panic.
Creating panic just to prevent the safe zone from opening is ridiculous, but true.
Anyway, those high-ranking officials who hold power cannot starve to death.
…
Coincidentally, the 17th branch of mankind, Heian City.
The sounds of various guns and artillery are still spreading across the ruins.
Most of the city has become a wasteland.
This city is more chaotic than Kahelen, the second branch of humanity.
Because before Ping An City was teleported here, a war was breaking out!
"Liberate Ping An City!"
"Take back our land!!"
"If you are human, please stand with us. If you are human, please pick up your guns and fight against those thugs."
Boom! The houses are collapsing and the war is going on.
This crazy scene resulted in the city having no city leader at all, and it was just two camps fighting a life-and-death war.
They had no time to pay attention to anything else until one side killed the other.
…
The 11th branch of humanity, Dongjin City.
A group of researchers gathered in front of the screen, discussing something cautiously.
"Sir, such a terrifying creature has appeared. What should we do?"
"We don't even have the extraordinary fire...we will all be killed!"
According to their original idea, Dongjin City is considered to be a relatively powerful city among the 17 human cities, and its industrial capacity is also good. They are qualified to be the leader of mankind!
Isn’t it wonderful to lead other cities with the flying geese model?
As long as they prepare enough guns and ammunition, open a safe zone, and hunt a creature with extraordinary fire, they can regain this precious ability.
But now I feel a little scared again.
There is a fierce clash between adventurism and conservatism...
There are also some people, especially scholars, who privately believe that Dongjincheng is finished.
Without the extraordinary fire, we will fall behind by who knows how many years and there will be no future at all.
Therefore, they wanted to escape.
As soon as the safe zone is abolished, they will start to make profits.
As for the direction of Run...it is still under intense discussion.
