Returning from the abyss

Chapter 421 Post-Apocalypse Era

Gu Li is a person with real skills. Not only has he accumulated knowledge, he has also taught classes, and he is vivid when he talks about his thoughts.

"In the garden, the level of strength shown by the mastermind to us is much higher than outside. Especially in terms of technology... We have actually lost a lot of things in technology, or technical capabilities? Advanced props, we have no way of applying many things recorded in history."

He rubbed his hands together awkwardly.

"I have paid to hire some people to go to the outskirts to explore. Of course, there have been a lot of losses... But I also brought back some samples I needed. I conducted geological and historical analysis on them, combined with our here According to an ancient map, I tried to find out the location of our city. After all, there is one thing that has always troubled me: Although I can get a lot of knowledge about the world from books, my parents and grandparents and I But he has always lived in this small city, and has never seen the outside world with his own eyes."

"That's why you have such leisurely thoughts." Maoyou curled his lips, "We are running around every day to survive."

"Some people pursue food and clothing, while those who have food and clothing pursue spiritual satisfaction. Isn't this a normal social phenomenon?" Gu Li took it for granted, "After such research, I found it difficult to find a perfect fit for that era. Geographical environment, and we cannot find an environment similar to our surroundings in history."

"You want to say that the outside world is not..."

"That's not true. There is no need to doubt the authenticity. The outside world is the real world for us. After that, my research direction has become the transformation of the world. There is no doubt that some historical events still affect Looking at the outside world, such as the sky after the white night, and some of the habits and traditions we have inherited. But the faults in history make it impossible for me to calculate how long and what happened between the end of the war era and the establishment of the mastermind..."

"Until you entered the garden?"

"This is the purpose of my coming here. I want to know the truth." Gu Li opened his hand, "Then I can only seek an explanation from the mastermind. I have carefully checked the descriptions of the items. In fact, the items above level three have exceeded The technological limit of the outside world, as for the fifth level, it is something that only exists in fantasy. But you have indeed used these props, and the evidence is here, so I have to think, with such powerful props, why does the master brain let People outside are trapped in such a small city?"

"Because it is necessary," said Samuana.

"That's right!" Gu Li clapped his hands excitedly, "It's because of necessity! The mastermind needs such a balanced state to form, and it will not be broken for a long time. The previous crisis of attacking the city wall in the suburbs has finally been resolved, although it seems dangerous. It’s dangerous, but that should be within the mastermind’s calculations! Thinking of this, I need to find a reason—and the reason is here!”

Four Seasons Garden.

"There must be many places like this. The mastermind uses the outside world to cultivate people with different characteristics, and then puts them in this kind of place to create a specific environment to simulate something. This is a test site, Dr. Rawls' test site , Then what else? Is it the same Four Seasons Garden, or is it to verify other issues? I have no way of knowing, but if this guess is correct, it is not difficult to come up with the ultimate purpose of this experiment..."

"True adaptive humans." Lu Ning expressed her thoughts.

"A 'crowd,' or, by extension, a population."

"What? Could it be that everyone who successfully leaves here must..." Maoyou was shocked.

"What are you thinking? Since the save point can directly copy a life, the mastermind can form a group by simply copying those outstanding individuals into a pile. No...or even..." Lu Ning's thoughts began to diverge, "Everything It doesn't have to be an excellent individual, as long as you pick up excellent 'talents'..."

Gu Li quickly waved his hand: "Listen to me, this is not easy. After all, human beings are very delicate things, so it takes countless desperate experiments to measure which ones can be matched together. But these are just evidence! What do we want to prove? What’s going on outside! At first I thought that the Mastermind was going to form an army that could clean up the suburbs, but now I basically understand... the monsters in the suburbs are really too uncharacteristic.”

"But living in the suburbs is very difficult." Lu Ning said.

"Because monsters are only strong, but have no characteristics. Recall the dangerous monsters released here, that is what really fits the title of monster. Are all these things that appeared in history gone now? No... it should be Still there."

where is it?
Lu Ning let out a breath slowly.

"Outside, is it?"

"Yes." Gu Li touched the stubble growing on his chin, "Although I have no way to prove it, but only by thinking this way can I piece together those strange investigation results. So the blank history... In fact, it’s not long, or rather, it hasn’t passed.”

Lu Ning probably understood, but she listened to Gu Li's narration.

"In the chaos after the White Night, wars have become more and more destructive with the improvement of technological level, and the monsters that breed in it have become stronger and stronger, and the chaos has gradually become unmanageable. At this time, the In the weapon category, the top S-class weapon has finally been developed."

And once a weapon is developed, in that environment, it is difficult not to be put into the battlefield.

Lu Ning recalled the description of S-class weapons: clean the world, reset civilization, and start everything again.

"Its appearance, power, what happened when it was released, we have no way of knowing, but we may think that the name of this weapon is 'Mastermind'."

The Mastermind cleansed everything that existed, and then preserved all the history that had happened, and began to reconstitute a human being that could come to this world again to survive.But the outside world that everyone knows now should actually be in the mastermind and is in the process of being formed, and the Four Seasons Garden has entered the screening stage.

"This is an insignificant part of the process of recreating the world." Although he said this, Gu Li seemed extremely excited, "Think about it, the mastermind can control time, life and death, and even arrange cause and effect. The inheritance has screened out people who are enough to live anew in the outside world, and the outside world may only be a blink of an eye."

Samuana pulled the cart for Lu Ning.

"how?"

"Although it sounds exciting, think about it... This seems to be a biological generation selection method? How much does this have to do with our actual survival?"

Gu Li's narration was good, but few people would be really moved by him.What Samuana is most concerned about is still the current situation, and knowing what's going on outside doesn't help her much.

But Lu Ning didn't think so.

"It's still a little different."

"Huh? Where's the help?"

"What he said is probably correct, but there is still a part that has no contact, that is, the social situation of the main brain itself. Think about it, Dr. Rawls, the real manager of the Four Seasons Garden, then the three of Shi Ming were put in What should be the identity of the mastermind who came in? They can carry out the final clearing operation in Dr. Rawls's experiment, either as a deputy or a person with authority much higher than Dr. Rawls. "

"The identities given to tourists in distribution centers have always been restricted, and that should be the first one."

"Shan Lianmei and Duan Yunxiu are probably the first type." A smile slowly emerged from the corner of Lu Ning's mouth, "Shi Ming is the second type."

"why are you laughing?"

"It's nothing, I seem to understand... Levanska met Duan Yunxiu in the scene of the distribution center, and Shan Yaomei and Shi Ming were introduced by Duan Yunxiu..."

"What do you understand?" Samuana glared at her.

=================
"Do we still need to move on?"

In a purple sub-space, Shan Lianmei peeks at the outside world through a small hole, Duan Yunxiu is doing the same thing not far away, and Shi Ming stands in the middle with nothing to do.

"no need."

"That Gu Li is amazing, is he really just a character in the scene?"

"The mission prompts say not to underestimate NPCs. If they can protect more people, they can discover a few talents. But it's okay now, a person who can reveal the background of the world view survives better than those who fight or strategy. .”

"You seem very satisfied." Duan Yunxiu said.

"Ah... I originally liked Cheng Wuling and Levanska. After all, their thinking about the big environment and spying on the world background are quite complete from the very beginning, and you can see more with a little guidance." Min shook his head, "But Levanska cares too much about his team and puts more importance on improving his teammates. I'm afraid he will only think about it when he thinks about the rematch in the future. Cheng Wuling Although she basically has a clear understanding of the background, but she... is a bit too utilitarian. This kind of mentality is a powerful driving force for growth before the fourth level, but it is not enough for people to break through the fourth level barrier."

"What exactly is that thing?" Shan Lianmei didn't look at it, turned around and asked Shi Ming, "You, there are a lot of high-level news saying that the fourth level is a hurdle, we must get through it as soon as possible, and we must get solid at the third level." The basics. But I won’t go into details.”

"Because it would be worse if I said it. There is a saying that we like to teach third-order people..."

"Ah, the fourth-tier tourists are already eligible to be taken care of by the distribution center."

"That's it." Shi Ming snapped his fingers, "If you can experience one or two, you may be able to prepare yourself a little bit, but it's better if you don't. In fact, the best state to deal with the fourth level is to be strong and strong. Jia knows nothing about the fourth order."

"This person sounds contradictory." Duan Yunxiu commented.

"But there is one in front of you."

"Her?" Shan Lianmei pointed out in surprise, "But when it comes to force and wisdom..."

"Wen Wu is the first, and Wu Wu is the second. It's okay to say that she is not strong in terms of strength, but when it comes to wisdom, everyone is different." Shi Ming chuckled. On the road of resurrection, she is now ahead of everyone in this scene."

"I don't understand."

"So she walks ahead of you."

Duan Yunxiu suddenly asked: "Is it including you?"

"The simple answer is: yes." Shi Ming nodded, "After all, I have nowhere to go back."

=================
Rosa's treatment was over, she looked the same as before, and the quack doctor even complacently took out a notebook and wrote it down to himself: "Quick recovery surgery for severe burns all over the body, 47 minutes and [-] seconds, I refreshed again Breaking his own record, it turns out that the upper limit of genius is something that doesn't exist."

"How does your body feel?" Lu Ning asked Rosa first.

"Energetic." Rosa clenched her fist and slammed the wall with one hand. There was a muffled sound, and everyone even felt the room shake.

"I just said that there will be no problem! It seems that you are also satisfied, so see you next time?" The quack doctor stepped back and walked out of the room with a smile, and then quickly disappeared.

"Why is she running so fast?" Maoyou looked suspicious.

"I have a way to single him out, and he is afraid that I will send him out early."

"Old and cunning..."

Lu Ning put Maoyou to mutter, reminding Rosa to check her situation more.After all, a doctor like a quack doctor doesn't know what he will do during the operation, so it's better to be more on the safe side.

And having said that, Rosa also noticed a change in herself.

"The explosive power is very strong, and it can even be compared with the potion I used before. If I enter the mad state now, I can fight with Discrimination."

"Really? This is a good thing." Naim frowned.

"But it seems that the muscle endurance has deteriorated, which means that there may be only tens of seconds or less burst time. It can't be said to be a bad thing, nor can it be said to be a good thing."

Rosa twisted her arms and stood up: "I haven't found anything else yet, but it's okay. If the current battle can't be resolved within a minute, it's probably really impossible. Worrying about this will only increase troubles."

The parties concerned expressed that they didn't care much anymore, and Lu Ning could only ask her to pay attention to her physical condition, and then everyone left the room to start the planned plan of scoring points for the crisis.

With their current equipment and props, most of the leaders are not pressured to single-handedly. In addition, the group of people who started the crisis also understand the time difference problem. Basically, there are only three crises that everyone needs to deal with at the same time, so the pressure is not very high.

With less than two hours before the fifth crisis, Lu Ning finally collected thirty stars, and she changed the key without much thought. It was a white key card that could be stored in In instruments, like props, they are personally bound.

And the introduction is very simple 【Life】.

After making a circle, Lu Ning took Maoyou back to the No. [-] courtyard of the Winter Garden, a place where countless battles have been fought.The two quickly found the weather switch in the courtyard.

"Get ready." Lu Ning pointed to the switch and said to Maoyou.
