Planetary Museum

It was only about seven or eight days since the last time he returned to the forbidden area, but the appearance in the forbidden area was already completely unrecognizable to Yan Xiu.

It used to be that the forbidden area was divided into separate rooms, but now, it is integrated into a huge space, almost like the caves of many sects outside.

In this huge space, the criss-crossed lines are like spider webs, stretching everywhere. Countless cultivators are among these spider webs, with their eyes closed, and each of them holds a piece similar to a spirit stone. things—seems to be absorbing aura.

When Yan Xiu was going to walk through the crowd, he received many reminders from fellow Taoists along the way: "Be careful not to touch the thread."

"Don't touch my plug."

"Don't tangle the wires."

"This outlet is full, go somewhere else."

"Brother Dao, there is still space here..."

"Do you understand the rules? You are not allowed to come to the charging room without a plug... Did you come here on purpose after rushing past?"

Yan Xiu didn't quite understand the meaning of these people's words, but he could tell that there seemed to be some kind of rules here—the rules about absorbing spiritual energy, that is, "recharging".

Yan Xiu knew about the wires here - they were the wires used to transmit spiritual energy in Mr. Wu's world.But other things, he doesn't really understand.

Following the route in memory, Yan Xiu came to the main control room where Wu Xiaoqing and the others stayed, but Wu Xiaoqing was not there. Compared with the vast hall before, the flow of people here was denser—but there was one thing that was very different, the people here They are all lined up in a neat line in the air - in the Ascension Realm, except for the "marching" process of the entire sect, they will be deliberately arranged in a certain shape, and it is rare to see cultivators maintaining a certain shape in the air.

The reason is simple. It is very troublesome to fine-tune the attitude during the flight. The state of motion is fine, and a slight adjustment can be made during the motion, but in the state of rest, such adjustments are not only a waste of aura, but also very meaningless—on earth , because people's action interface is two-dimensional, it is easy to form congestion in some densely populated areas, and it is normal to have a queuing system.But in the world of flying, such a thing simply cannot exist.

But now, the search and rescue team has broken the impossibility.

Wu Xiaoqing is in the main control room. For the convenience of work, the main control room has been slightly modified. The original automatic door is locked from the inside, but a small window is opened on the wall.

There is a loudspeaker next to the small window in the wall, and the voice of the search and rescue team is constantly coming from inside. The number in it is in the language of Ascension Realm—every time you shout one, a person will walk to the window along the team, Then he took off a small sign on his body and put it in the window-then came out with a long wire.

The person who got the wire compared the length habitually, and asked Wu Xiaoqing inside: "This Shangxian, it's too short, can you change it to a longer one."

"Next." Wu Xiaoqing waved his hand impatiently.

When Yan Xiu saw Wu Xiaoqing, he wanted to fly towards the small window, but he didn't want to be stopped by a few people behind him: "Brother Daoist, it's better not to jump in line, if you want to get this plug earlier, absorb it." Lingqi, let's go to the door to get the number for the time being."

"Number?"

"Yes," one of them patiently pointed to the corridor at the door of this room, the one said "Number Collection Office", "Go there, just press it with your finger, and a sign will fall, followed by the number on it Come here and line up."

As he said that, the trapeze subconsciously looked at the direction of the transformed hall: "If you go now, you can still queue up a little earlier, there are about 2000 people, but it will take a day or two to queue up. If it is later, delay it. I'm afraid it won't take ten days and a half months to get the number, and I'm afraid I will die here because of lack of spirit."

Yan Xiu shook his head lightly: "Thank you for reminding me, Brother Dao. I went to find Mr. Wu, but I have other important matters."

The main control room is not very big, including the corridor and the queuing space outside, it is only less than [-] meters away.

But the distance of [-] meters is really no easier than the charging room with dense wires just now.

Most of the people queuing up had dejected expressions on their faces. Yan Xiu had come back from the frontline war zone, and he had seen such expressions a lot—most of them were caused by the lack of aura.According to Mr. Wu, after the spiritual energy in the body of the cultivators is exhausted to a certain extent, their own physiological functions will begin to be restricted-the body will automatically turn on the low battery mode.

In this mode, the practitioner's spiritual consciousness search range is greatly reduced, the response of the body's flexibility becomes worse, and people seem a little sluggish.If the aura continues to be consumed and cannot be replenished, the whole person will die on the spot due to lack of power—fortunately, in Ascension Realm, the word "death" does not mean immediate death, but a setting similar to a forced shutdown .

In the collapsed state, the person is completely unconscious, unresponsive, breathing and heartbeat are greatly slowed down, and all physiological activities are almost stagnant.

In fact, according to the people on earth, it is more appropriate to call hibernation.

But in Ascension Realm, generally speaking, as long as it is a person who has fallen dead, it is usually difficult to have a chance to wake up again - because the cultivator must have the active consciousness to absorb the spiritual energy, and in the dead state, the active consciousness disappears. It also means that the body actively cuts off the only energy access channel.

For most flying people, actually entering the state of falling dead is the worst result - because falling dead is not a real death, and naturally they will not be reborn.This state can last up to a hundred years - and rebirth is only two or three months.

Therefore, rational people will take the initiative to commit suicide before the collapsed state arrives.

In the outside world, many flying people who lack spiritual energy in their bodies and enter low battery mode will actively seek ways to commit suicide, or forcefully participate in battles, using their last bit of spiritual energy as a last-ditch effort.

But in the forbidden area, along the way, Yanxiu saw a lot of people queuing up, all of whom were already in low battery mode, and even a few in the line were obviously dead, but the people around them didn't seem to panic at all, they just turned a blind eye little by little line up.

In addition, for those companions who are unconscious, when the team moves forward, people nearby will take the initiative to pick them up with them.

The attitudes of these people made Yan Xiu unconsciously slow down.

After arriving at the window, Yan Xiu knocked lightly on the window, but Wu Xiaoqing didn't lift his head from inside: "You can't jump in line here, go to the back row."

"Mr. Wu, it's me, Yanxiu."

Only then did Wu Xiaoqing raise his head, reacted for a second or two, and then smiled in surprise: "Come back so soon?"

Then Wu Xiaoqing pulled down the wooden board inside the small window at once. At this time, the announcement came from the loudspeaker: "The window is suspended, and the people behind are waiting patiently."

"Pause again... Ordinary people are trouble... Didn't you have dinner half an hour ago?"

"I went to the toilet an hour ago, maybe I have to go again."

"Mortals are really troublesome... eating, drinking, going to the toilet... and sleeping."

"Shut up, how can you allow your generation to speculate on the deeds of the immortals!"

"Speak louder, otherwise Shangxian won't be able to hear, he has no consciousness!"

When Wu Xiaoqing came out of the room, he obviously heard a lot of calls, but he was used to it, and said to Yan Xiu: "Take me to the fitness area."

The fitness area is near the place where Wu Xiaoqing and the others sleep. Because it has a small simulated gravity system, when they live in the space station, they come here to run and exercise their muscles every day. Living in a zero-gravity environment can easily lead to mild calcium deficiency and atrophy of the skeletal and muscular systems.

The distance is not too short. If Wu Xiaoqing and the others "jumped" on the wall as usual, it would take about ten minutes.But if Yanxiu took the flight, it would only take a minute or two to arrive.

This journey was very fast. Along the way, Yanxiu could see that there were practitioners walking around in the space station.The people here are different from those in the charging room, they seem to be in much better spirits, and many of them are holding the new version of the Soul Eater Formation in their hands - it seems that they are familiar with the usage of this magic weapon.

Regarding the appearance of Yan Xiu and Wu Xiaoqing, they all focused their attention, and soon someone recognized his identity from Yan Xiu's flying sword - the one who can fly the flying sword in the spiritless zone, The entire Ascension Realm is only Yanxiu.

Wu Xiaoqing didn't seem to be very energetic. Just after entering the fitness area, he couldn't wait to find a bed and lie down - in a weightless environment, theoretically speaking, it seems that standing and lying down seem to be in any way. There is no essential difference.But it’s not, especially if you’re doing some work—you get tired more easily in a zero-gravity environment.

Wu Xiaoqing took out another bottle of iced Coke from the refrigerator, poured it for himself, and then took a big gulp, hiccupping and asking Yanxiu, "Why did you come back so fast? Didn't you finish playing?"

"The search and rescue team told me that they have mastered the tactics and don't need me anymore," Yan Xiudao said, "Let me come back to carry out the next mission."

Wu Xiaoqing let out a long sigh: "I thought you'd be back a few days later... It's not going to be a good day now."

Yan Xiu smiled lightly: "Soldiers are expensive."

"You can even use idioms..." Wu Xiaoqing said, "Of course it's easy for you to be super fast, bring a flying sword...hey...look at me, I have to deal with thousands of people every day...it's so annoying .”

Since the first batch of refugees entered the space station, Wu Xiaoqing has become a full-time teller.Because Xu Yan and Wang Youquan are both in charge of the charging station on the earth, the work here is all over his head.Although this work is simple and labor-intensive, it is very single and repetitive-at most five or six thousand dedicated charging plugs are sent out every day.

"Can't they let them use it?" Yan Xiu almost subconsciously had a question.

Before the nuclear bomb exploded, Yan Xiu had participated in their meeting, and naturally understood the various measures when the relief policy was formulated—in the earliest plan, it was indeed a fully automated relief strategy, and the idea was simple—since it was only If you want to charge, then put the plug here, and you just come in and charge.

but……

In front of Yan Xiu, Wu Xiaoqing smiled wryly: "Of course not."
