"Classmates, do you know how human civilization in the wasteland was established?"
"I know. It's because humanity's pioneering war gods bravely ventured into the dangerous abyss, bringing back the crystal cores that represent humanity's hope. Human technology then transformed them into crystal core towers, forming a protective barrier covering a vast area. This is how human civilization continues."
…
Yang Chen blinked his eyes and looked at the scene in the classroom, suddenly at a loss.
He found himself floating in the sky, able to see the scenery below but unable to see himself.
What is going on with him now, in this state of wandering in the sky?
It has no head, no limbs or body, it is just a form of thought.
Re-examining his current situation, Yang Chen recalled that he and his teammates had just left the protective barrier of human civilization and were expanding into dangerous areas.
Unfortunately, their team encountered a sudden beast tide. In order to protect the elite female generals in the team, he fought against the beast tide and eventually died of exhaustion.
"So I'm dead, am I a spirit now?"
"Ding, the Crystal Core Master Management System is online!"
"Binding to host..."
"Bind successfully!"
"Congratulations, host Yang Chen, for successfully binding to the Crystal Core Tower within your territory. You are now the Crystal Core Master of this territory. This system will assist you at any time to help you build your own human civilization in this wasteland world!"
An electronic sound suddenly rang in his mind, which caught Yang Chen off guard.
"System? The legendary system! Am I really that lucky to have encountered a situation that only appears in novels?"
I immediately checked the system interface.
[Host: Yang Chen]
[Position: Lord of the Crystal Core]
Skills: 2
[Skill 1: Hang Up]
[Note: Designate a subordinate unit to hang up, and gain experience during the hang-up period]
[Skill 2: All-Around Attribute Blessing (Passive)]
[Description: When an invader attacks the territory, all attributes of the subordinate units will be increased by 20% for 2 minutes, with a cooldown of 5 minutes]
[Owned resources: 0]
[Subordinates: 0]
【……】
A look of bewilderment appeared on Yang Chen's face in his spiritual world. "I didn't expect this to be the system I imagined. I can't say it's very similar, I can only say it's exactly the same!"
"System, please tell me what to do next. Am I just going to float in the air like this and wait for the territory to upgrade automatically?" Yang Chen asked the system.
[The host currently has no units under his command. The host can freely control his thoughts to wander over the territory, or wait for fresh corpses to appear and transform them into units under his command!]
It was at this time that Yang Chen heard the noise coming from the territory.
He immediately controlled his consciousness to rise into the air and saw the human civilization area covered by the entire barrier.
The noise came from the eastern entrance to the territory.
His mind moved closer to the east side of the territory, the picture enlarged, and Yang Chen saw the scene at the entrance of the territory.
Chen Mengxue, a female general dressed in a female general's uniform but severely injured and dying, was dragging a disfigured corpse.
"Doctor! Save him!"
A gray-haired male doctor quickly emerged from the makeshift tent. He came to the corpse and, after examining it for a while, closed his eyes and shook his head.
"He has died a glorious death and there is no way to save him."
A crystal tear rolled down Chen Mengxue's face. She still remembered what Yang Chen had said to her before, asking her to live well and saying that he would survive too.
But now, Chen Mengxue survived, but Yang Chen was already dead, becoming a cold corpse.
"We agreed to become comrades who could lean on each other's shoulders, but in the end, why did you leave me alone?" Chen Mengxue asked weakly.
Yang Chen was in the air, looking at the scene below and his own broken body, feeling mixed emotions.
The female general below was an elite among humans and the comrade he had risked his life to protect not long ago. When facing the beast tide, he was ready to sacrifice himself. Even if his life could save a human elite, it would be worth it.
And he succeeded in doing it. Shen Mengxue did not sacrifice herself, and the body lying there motionless was undoubtedly himself.
Looking at the miserable state of his own corpse, he had a strange feeling, as if the corpse was very strange and was no longer himself.
He watched as other soldiers appeared, carried away his body, and buried him in the cemetery of the territory.
Sensing the system tremor, Yang Chen opened the system interface, and a dialog box popped up:
[A fresh corpse has been detected in the territory. Cell vitality meets the binding requirements. Do you want to bind immediately?]
"System, will the corpse come back to life after binding immediately?"
[Yes.]
"So, am I still the one who survived?"
[Theoretically, he will have independent consciousness and the ability to respond to some basic events, but the host can project his own consciousness into it at any time and control the target.]
"How long can a corpse maintain cellular activity?"
13 hours.
"Then let's not bind it yet. We can bind it in the evening."
If they were to be bound now, it would probably cause unrest. After all, the resurrection of the dead had never happened in the territory before.
Waiting for time, Yang Chen observed the human activities in the territory from the perspective of the Lord of the Crystal Core.
Although he is now the master of the crystal core, the units in the territory are not under his control, and the number of units he can control is zero.
