Chapter 186 The Order of Civilization
Underground doomsday city.
Hot green hot water flows between cities. On both sides of the road, in parks, municipal facilities, etc., you can see steam emitting hot water everywhere. A large number of steel pipes criss-cross each other, standing one hundred meters high in this huge underground space. middle.
Chen Ji took a rough look and saw that there were very few private means of transportation in the underground city of Doomsday. Instead, they were replaced by fast closed and transparent maglev trains.
Hundreds of train tracks interweave over the city. People not only live in the city on the ground, but also in the attached rooms dug out of the wall in the sky. The layout is somewhat similar to a beehive.
"Brother, brother, did you emit that light just now?"
"Is brother the light?"
"Brother's abilities are so powerful, I want to become so powerful when I grow up, and defeat mutant monsters in one fell swoop!"
A large group of children rushed over, surrounded Chen Ji and asked various questions excitedly. They all saw and felt the warm light.
Chen Ji looked at the smiling faces of this group of children. These people were all students in the second and third grades of elementary school. They were only five or six years old more than three years ago, and the concept of the end of the world was not clear in their minds.
They went through the chaos after the sun went out, and followed their parents into the settlement. After struggling for more than a year, they finally moved into this well-built doomsday underground city.
After arriving in a stable and safe place, they began to go to school and grew up in an unprecedented doomsday environment:
This group of children is a generation that has grown up after the end of the world.
"Brother Chen Ji~~"
An immature girl ran over holding a bouquet for the cheerleaders, shaking it in front of Chen Ji, showing a sweet smile: "Brother Chen Ji is welcome to Haishi Doomsday Base!"
The girl wears a ponytail and short sleeves, revealing her slender and fair arms, full of youthful vigor.
She is Wang Yitong who came down first, and she is also studying in the underground city. According to the doomsday, she has just entered the fifth grade of elementary school, but after the doomsday, she seems to have already entered junior high school, because Chen Ji saw that she was wearing clothes similar to those of some larger ones. Children's school uniform.
In addition, the official name of the underground city is Haishi Doomsday Base.
"Tongtong, are you in junior high school?"
Meet a group of children, and after answering some questions from them, Chen Ji asked Wang Yitong, and got an affirmative answer from the girl who nodded vigorously, and she proudly puffed out her chest, expressing that she was no longer a little girl, but a girl in junior high school.
Zhou Wan, who was standing beside Chen Ji, said with a light smile: "A lot of things have changed after the end of the day. Today's children only study until they are 18 years old. Except for a small number of people who go to scientific research, the rest are studying while working... pressure Bigger than before the end, but much better than when we were in the colony."
Chen Ji can understand.
After the apocalypse, resources are scarce, and there is no way to raise another child slowly, so it can only be done in this way.
He asked Wang Yitong and the group of children some questions, and learned that they have courses related to supernatural powers, mutated creatures, and combat in the school. If the supernatural powers are awakened, the test scores can be lowered appropriately.
It’s almost the same as sports and art students.
"This kid Yitong studies very hard."
A teacher praised: "She ranks among the best in every exam, and her ability to make wishes is also very powerful. Before entering high school, many research laboratories and combat teams need to use her ability."
"so smart?"
Chen Ji smiled and looked at the girl in front of him.
"It's okay, it's not as good as Brother Chen Ji and Sister Zhou Wan, hee hee... It's a pity that the young lady is not here."
Wang Yitong smiled a little shyly, a little regretful that he didn't see Mu Xiaoxiao.
"So far, Yitong's wishing ability is also unique in the world, and there are too many occasions where it can play a role."
Gao Liqun on the side added.
Chen Ji looked at Wang Yitong thoughtfully, then turned to look at Huang Yuwen: "Where's your driving ability?"
"Well."
Huang Yuwen scratched his head, "I'm not, there are at least hundreds of people like me in the world... But Brother Chen, we are definitely the king of drag racing, and we have lived up to the expectations of Brother Chen and the captain!"
"What do I expect from you? Nothing." Chen Ji didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"No, don't, Brother Chen, think about it, all those who came out of Xiangshan Villa back then became supernatural beings under your influence, Brother Chen, and they are all very powerful. This is all thanks to Brother Chen!"
Huang Yuwen flattered Chen Ji.
When he was in the villa, he was amazed by the abilities of Chen Ji and Zhou Wan.
Now three years have passed, and after he knows more things, his awe and admiration for Chen Ji are even stronger.
Every time Brother Chen appears, he will definitely do something great!
"Xiangshan Villa."
Gao Liqun and several leaders exchanged glances.
The people who came out of the villa at the beginning have now become powerful supernatural beings.
For example, Wang Caicheng, he is now an SS-level ability user, and his ability is also a very rare special-type defensive line ability user. He has a strong ability to withstand blows, and after entering the S-level, he can deploy a force similar to a protective shield. In the field, the shield does not disappear, and all attacks cannot harm the people inside.
Not just them.
Many powerful and rare supernatural beings appeared in the transportation team that Chen Ji and Zhou Wan encountered, the subway settlement they encountered for the first time, and the people who were irradiated by the sun's light ball.
Gao Liqun and others also suspected that there was something special about Xiangshan Villa, and sent people to live there for some time.
Unfortunately nothing happened.
It proves that this special influence comes from Chen Ji, Zhou Wan, and Mu Xiaoxiao.
Judging from the subsequent performance, there is a high probability that it came from Chen Ji.
"Where's the World Tree?"
After seeing off the children, Chen Ji intentionally left Wang Yitong behind, looking towards the center of the city.
Zhou Wan has been paying attention to him and knows his character very well. After seeing him like this, she immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
"...I'll talk to you later."
Chen Ji couldn't answer her well.
After descending from the elevator to this doomsday underground city, he sensed something in the city. He didn't need the rays of the sun to cover him, and he could sense something.
"The world... no, the mutated plant is in the research center, Mr. Chen Ji, do you want to go and see it?"
Gao Liqun changed his tune and did not call it World Tree, as if he was afraid that the name would be too famous and would be coveted by others.
"Then go and have a look."
Chen Ji nodded, looking at the city: "By the way, take a tour."
"Okay, Mr. Chen Ji please."
Gao Liqun made a gesture.
The maglev rail car had already parked on the platform not far away. Chen Ji and Zhou Wan got on the car, followed by Wang Yitong and Huang Yuwen.
This car should be a special train, with a spacious space, including a reception room and a resting place.
"Thanks to Mr. Chen Ji for giving us the black iron alloy."
Gao Liqun smiled and said: "With the black iron alloy, the room temperature superconductor can support the maglev train, and it is the strength and various properties of the new alloy that allow this city to be built!"
"This is also the result of your research."
Chen Ji said.
The Tianwai Xuantie in the martial arts world, after coming to the doomsday world, played a magical role and greatly changed the world.
"I still have to thank Mr. Chen Ji!"
Another leader also spoke, his tone was very polite, and of course the thanks were also sincere.
"From now on, all the leaders can call me Chen Ji."
After Chen Ji chatted with them for a few words, the maglev train started, and the start was very smooth, with no body shaking at all.
Zhou Wan is not very familiar with this place either, so she looked out the window with him.
The doomsday city located underground is different from ordinary cities. There are almost no low-rise houses here, and all of them are high-rise buildings, which appear very crowded and depressing.
Chen Ji roughly estimated that there are tens of millions of people living here. According to Gao Liqun's introduction, in addition to the city in front of him, there is also a spare sub-city, and many people live in it.
But the cost is very high, merit points are needed to exchange, so most ordinary people can only exchange it once or twice a month to eat.
"Why is the water here green? What's in it?"
Chen Ji asked this question.
The entire underground city is covered with scalding hot water, which seems to be constantly exchanging heat and cold with the ground, maintaining the temperature of the upper part of the doomsday base.
"This is the raw material for the power plant!"
Zhou Wan answered Chen Ji with a smile.
"Power plants? This green water?"
Chen Ji was surprised to see the green water in a park lake from the window. There were some people walking in the park. They were used to the green lake and didn't pay attention to it.
"This is the biological power station you mentioned earlier, right?"
Chen Ji thought about it, "But why are you stocking them like this?"
Relying on the supernatural crystal of life, Haishi's researchers developed a biological engine. Chen Ji didn't know the specific principle, but only knew that the power mainly came from the supernatural crystal.
"The mutated hyphae can only keep quiet under the watchful eyes of humans."
Zhou Wan explained to him that after returning, she had already acquired a lot of knowledge.
The so-called mutated mycelium is a kind of fungus produced by supernatural crystallization. It reproduces continuously. After passing through a series of devices, their powerful reproductive ability will become the power source of power generation.
But there is one biggest problem that has plagued researchers since the mutant hyphae were created.
That is, their ability to reproduce is too strong, and if they are not careful, they will quickly mutate into a giant individual, and have the ability to think, thus generating malicious intent towards humans.
Creatures spawned by the crystallization of life powers are inherently mutated creatures, they cannot be purified, they can only be killed.
Knowing that later, a researcher studied the information left by Zhou Wan about the evil god, and then came to a very important conclusion:
"Confront chaos with order, and fight darkness with civilization!"
Gao Liqun said with emotion: "From you, Chen Ji, we know the existence of the evil **** Chaos Shadow, and we have also tried to promote the belief in Buddhism and Taoism, but with little success.
It was not discovered until later that the orderly collective life of human beings is the basis for fighting against this evil force! "
"Human social order, against the power of evil gods?"
Chen Ji immediately thought of Astana.
In the Divine Continent, firm belief is the most important means to resist evil gods.
And firm belief comes from the believer's depicting the kingdom of gods in his mind.
The kingdom of the gods... is also an order?
Zhou Wan said to him: "Before we had guessed that the dark flowers on the sun were afraid of the earth and could not kill humans directly. At that time, we couldn't guess the reason. Now it seems that the power of civilization and order possessed by human society has affected the flower. The huge flowers make it impossible to directly descend on the earth."
"It turned out to be like this?"
Chen Ji fell into deep thought.
Earth human civilization is an important means to fight evil gods?
What about God's Grace Continent?
Chen Ji turned his attention to the green water in the doomsday base. These waters contain mutated hyphae that can generate electricity. They must be scattered in every corner of the city, suppressed by the civilization created by humans, and watched by human eyes. The hyphae will not be affected by the dark breath, leading to crazy evolution into an evil existence.
"So, the doomsday base is the foundation of human survival?"
Chen Ji looked at Gao Liqun, who nodded proudly: "That's right, even the craziest supernatural beings will not come to attack the Doomsday Base, unless they have completely lost their minds and changed to believe in the Dark God...or with King-level mutated creatures join forces."
"Dark God?"
"It's the name of the Dark Doomsday Society. It tampered with the dark flowers that grew in the sun into a human-shaped god, and worshiped towards the dim sun... There are believers in the Dark Doomsday Society all over the world. They are a group of very troublesome existences."
Gao Liqun didn't explain too much, probably because he couldn't explain clearly in a few words.
Chen Ji can understand.
Before the apocalypse, there were many organizations that believed in this and that. It is strange that there are no similar organizations after the apocalypse.
Zhou Wan didn't know much about these, but only knew that the group of people regarded the dark petals that fell on the earth as sacred objects, and they talked about it all day long, and they just killed them when they saw it.
The maglev train was driving all the way over the city. Chen Ji knew about the city pretty well. When he signaled that he could go to see the World Tree, the train accelerated and soon came to the center of the city.
Hai City Doomsday Base Research Center is located here.
Chen Ji, Zhou Wan and his party walked in, and in a garden with blooming flowers and green grass, they saw the world tree shimmering and luxuriant.
As if knowing that Chen Ji was coming, the World Tree more than ten meters high shook its branches slightly, and the whirling leaves made a rattling sound.
"Huh?!"
Gao Liqun was very surprised, and immediately asked the guards around: "When did it grow fruit?! I didn't see it bloom when I came last time!"
"Hahaha."
Director Zhao of the research center, no, it should be Director Zhao Zhengliang, laughed loudly, and patted Chen Ji on the shoulder vigorously: "Isn't it thanks to our light and heat abilities? As soon as Chen Ji came back, the Sun Domain appeared, The tree he gave us in the first place bloomed immediately, and soon bore fruit!"
Zhou Wan, who was standing beside Chen Ji, smiled and turned to look at him.
It was only after she came back that she realized how important the World Tree brought by Chen Ji was to the doomsday world.
When Chen Ji brought it here, the World Tree had only one leaf, and the rhizome had just grown.
But three years later, it has become the "ancestor" of new crops all over the world.
Including those starlight seeds, all grains and vegetables that can resist the cold must use the power of the World Tree, so that the seeds can be planted together with the World Tree leaves, or planted under the World Tree before they can be cultivated.
"The leaves are so powerful, what about the fruit?"
Everyone looked at Chen Ji together.
These changes are also brought about by him!
"Wait, I'm sending a message to a guy."
Chen Ji took out his mobile phone, stood under the World Tree that grew from the doomsday world, and sent a message to the Goddess.
"Astana, I saw the World Tree."
Chen Ji picked up his mobile phone, took a photo of the World Tree, and chose to send it.
Words and images passed through the void and descended into the soul of the Goddess of Starlight Order who was leading the believers to pray.
"god!"
Amidst the gazes of many believers, Astana showed a gentle and holy expression, raised her head and looked at the dome of the church, as if she was looking at God.
Before she couldn't see anything.
But this time.
Her gaze was pulled by a sacred and great force, which passed through the world barrier, allowing her to see the third World Tree.
And, I saw the great and benevolent God standing under the World Tree.
God is talking to her with a smile.
It’s just that beside God, there is another beautiful woman.
"she is…?"
Astana said subconsciously.
Her voice spread to the doomsday world and reached Zhou Wan's ears.
A phantom of a holy and beautiful woman appeared on the radiant World Tree. Zhou Wan raised her head and met her eyes.
"Are you... Astana?"
Zhou Wan recognized her.
The divine-descendant saint was astonished.
Because she did not know the woman beside God.
