Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 851 [King], and the restarted doomsday (8000 words)
[Endless fall, meaningless fall, human life is coming to an end in the long fall, all hope no longer exists.

They lost the sanctuary of Salomel.

Maybe Saronmeier never sheltered them.

Until I wrote this record, the data shown in the detection data of the monitoring station was already more than 7 kilometers away——the lower level of the base that fell was already located more than 8 kilometers away from us .

Longer than the diameter of the entire planet.

At the same time, we can indirectly find another thing from the data of the monitoring station-judging from the distance they fell, the gravitational acceleration of their fall is different from the gravitational acceleration caused by the gravity of the planet-physics fails on them up.

Maybe physics was bogus from the start.

Maybe it's all fake, and stuff like physics is just a lie made up by the gods to make us ignorant people believe in science.

But if everything is false, what are we?
Are we really "human"?
Maybe the definition of "human" doesn't exist either, it's a joke the gods made up to fool us.

But why would God do this?

He obviously has it all.

Our station master suppressed this - the station master told us that once people realize that physics is false, and therefore associate the world with falsehood, even the saints on the holy mountain will have a nervous breakdown.

He is right.

The saints are just human beings with a slightly higher level of life, nothing special, they will also lose control of their emotions-they are even more likely to lose control than us-from the information I got on the holy mountain server, their understanding of the world Perception is much stronger than normal humans, so it is easier to empathize with all extreme situations——

They call it [synaesthesia], which is the ability to perceive and explore the world, a product of evolution.

Synaesthesia allows them to understand the world on a deeper level, which is why they are more likely to lose control and lead to madness than us.

In addition, due to the fall of the lower level of the base, we lost the underground fields, and the stored food is no longer enough. We must ration it uniformly so that everyone can eat food and not starve to death.

Unified rationing... Heh, it's really an unreliable method that can be known from a pat on the head. How do those weak and young people share food equally with the strong and armed people?

I knew something terrible was going to happen, I didn't know what it was, and I needed to get a gun ASAP so I could protect my wife and children.

Even if these abilities are almost insignificant, it is better than sitting and waiting to die.

I prayed to the wandering eye in the middle of the night, and prayed that Salongmeier could see the suffering we had endured through the wandering eye and bless our family of three.

This is something I've never done as an adult.

I remember when I was a child, I used to follow my grandma to the small church of Salongmeier in the village north of the base on Friday nights. At that time, the climate was not as cold as it is now, and people could still leave the base to go not far away. Sitting together in the church every Friday night, presided over by the priest, praying to the wandering eye.

Grandma prayed that Salongmeier would listen to her voice, be able to redeem her sufferings, and extradite her to his kingdom of God after her death.

The believers are very devout, and each of them shed tears when they confided.

I didn't understand anything at the time, and I just lowered my head with my grandma, clasped our fingers together and placed our fists on our chests, and quietly opened our eyes when the priest guided everyone to pray devoutly, to see the tears on everyone's faces.

I just thought it was funny.

Until now, I finally understand that people really need faith to fight against fear.

When facing the fear of the unknown——when facing a so-called [Supreme God] that is about to destroy the world, I can do nothing, I can't even struggle, I can only endure the fear.

Once I recognize the existence of Salongmeier——Once I think that Salongmeier exists, as long as I am devout enough, Salongmeier can see my existence through the wandering eyes, and the legendary Ark of Salvation will take me there His Kingdom...

When I recognized these things, I suddenly found that I was no longer afraid.

In any case, it is good to be free from fear. 】

……

After reading this passage, Chen Yan discovered that in the perception of people in this era, Saronmeier is not the same as the wandering eye.

For the people of this era, [Salommel] is a god, and [Wandering Eye] is the eyes of Sarommel.

According to these records, worshipers believe that by praying to the Wandering Eye, Salommel can see their suffering.

'Hmm... this [Salommel] god, don't you know what it looks like?Does it look like [Ju Zhou]? '

'Actually, from a religious point of view... from the religious point of view I know, gods and giant boats have the same meaning in front of [Salvation], and they can actually be regarded as the same thing... Many myths also have many of these two things. Oneness, or even the existence of the Trinity. '

Chen Yan continued to read:
[It is now the 67th day from the end of the ice age, and what I expected has happened——

People with violent armed forces - people from the former armed security department had a mutiny last night. They were starving and killed the commander and officials directly under their leadership, and took control of the material distribution center.

To my surprise, they still have humanity—they didn't completely cut off the food supplies of ordinary people, but only compressed the daily food rations of ordinary people, and gave themselves more food.

This situation may not last long, because food is getting less and less, and fresh water is also getting less and less.

There will always be a day when the supplies are not enough for everyone.

Bless Saronmeier, I found both guns, and once things got to the bottom of my head, I at least...

At least be able to...

(The record of this passage is broken here.)
On the other hand, after several days of continuous exploration in the holy mountain server, I found out more about the holy mountain.

What was different from what I had expected was that the interior of the holy mountain was not monolithic, and the saints also had factions like the humans in the base.

The more negative faction among the saints believes that the demise of the gods is inevitable and inescapable, and all everyone can do is wait for death.

[Negatives] This line of sages does not believe in the existence of Sa Longmeier.

But this does not mean that they are very stupid people. On the contrary, this series of saints has provided more than 300% of the scientific and technological achievements of the entire base in the past 80 years, and has trained almost all practical officials.

Without them, the base would not have maintained a relatively stable situation at this time.

They are negative because they find that physics does not exist—unfortunately, the data from the monitoring station did not escape their eyes—not only physics does not exist, but in the ever-increasing extreme environment , they found that even the previous objective cognition has been subverted, and some impossible things from the generalized scientific point of view have happened.

Those who did not have the faith of Sa Longmeier were overwhelmed by the fear brought by the unknown.

Compared with this group of saints, another group of saints is still looking for a way to survive——

shipbuilding.

Let me call this school of sages the [Shipbuilding School].

They attempted to create the legendary Ark of Salvation [Salongmeier], and use Salongmeier to survive the great ice doomsday of this era.

Although the saints are divided into factions, they share a server with each other and share scientific and technological knowledge, so I can't judge whether the [shipbuilder faction] is utopian or not, and whether what they do can be successful-I support them subjectively, even if they His behavior is utter blasphemy.

In addition to the two big factions [Negative Faction] and [Shipbuilding Faction], there are various small factions on the Holy Mountain. They each advocate different ways of surviving before the end of the Great Ice River.

For example, try to upload consciousness to the server, and find a way to make the server hardware survive the doomsday faction;
For example, try to transform yourself so that consciousness can exist in the snow full of radiation, evolve into a living body based on radiation snow, and become the faction of "Radiation Zombie Snowman Who Retains Consciousness";

For example, try to create a "falling shelter", so that human beings can use the "refuge" to come from a self-sufficient faction in the endless fall.

……

The sages have enough knowledge and enough materials, so there are surprisingly many ideas born, so there are more than a dozen factions that have emerged.

What I noticed was a small faction on the Holy Mountain, and it was also the faction that issued the outrageous announcement on the Holy Mountain before——

The previous outrageous remarks of "letting a person live to the next era with the gene integration marked by everyone, and then resurrect everyone" came from their group.

I named it [Gene Survival School].

[Gene Survival Faction] is the smallest faction in the Holy Mountain, and the many announcements issued by the Holy Mountain are not just about their plans.

I noticed them because I had a detailed look at their plans in the server:

The reason why they make such outrageous remarks is because as a special group of [subhumans], they have the highest "evolutionary degree" among saints, and even started the "next stage" of evolution——

According to the records in the holy mountain server, they can even see "things that don't exist in this world".

The so-called "things that do not exist in this world" are things on the other side of the "pole of the world".

They don't call that [the pole].

And call it [Ultimate].

That is [end point].

According to them, the [end] of the world is also the [start] of another world, but the starting point of the other world is much higher than the end of our world—whether it is technology or civilization, there are many things that I cannot understand The other world is a higher level world.

They believe that the Supreme God came from that world, so when the Supreme God wants to destroy our world, we cannot resist.

Based on this cognition, they came to a conclusion:
If the ethnic group is to survive, it must use all its strength to create the most perfect demi-human life form through the [Ascendance Ritual], and use technology to upgrade the various body functions of this demi-human life form to the level that carbon-based life can achieve. The acme reached, so that this sub-human can resist the apocalypse of the supreme god, and survive in the bitter cold purgatory of the end of the great ice river.

They call him "King".

I have read their theoretical materials in detail, and I have seen the machines they use to perform the [Ascension Ritual]—to put it simply, it is to rearrange and combine the carbon base of the living body, add some things, and remove the carbon in the gene pool. Some rubbish to make it [perfect] in every way.

I thought, maybe such a [King] could really survive in the end of the great ice age?Maybe?

Why do I think so?Is it because I think other methods are unreliable?

In any case, where the survivors in the base will eventually go, the answer will soon be revealed. 】

……

The demi-human king...the one-eyed Osmandis...the eye of the demi-human king in the director's space radio telescope...the corpse of the demi-human king seen on the scientific research ship brought back from the glacier area...produced by the [Ascension Ceremony]【 Perfect life body]... 20 years ago, cocklebur and Chen Changsheng stood like minions on the periphery of the scientific research ship in the glacier area of ​​Yanan City port...

Thinking of all this, Chen Yan felt as if a light burst out in his head, and countless thoughts flooded into his mind, and some unrealistic conjectures in the past were verified at this moment.

He took a deep breath, rethought his conjecture in his head, and then continued to look at the record:

[It is now the 61st day from the end of the glacier end, and something beyond my expectations has happened—another saint descended from the holy mountain.

The saint was covered in blood.

The saint is killed from the holy mountain.

The saint who descended from the mountain was called Osmandis, who was appointed as the [King] by the [Gene Continuation Sect].

A riot just broke out in the base, the power transmission equipment was destroyed, and the power system of the entire base was paralyzed, but I don't think this is the reason for the saint to go down the mountain.

Saints' servers don't use electricity, that's something I've known before.

So, why did [Wang] go down the mountain?
I sneaked back to the office and wanted to use the backup diesel generator to access the server of the holy mountain to see what happened in the holy mountain.

I soon found out that the servers on Holy Mountain were down.

The chaos in the holy mountain, I think, is mostly due to conflicts between the saint factions - the resources mastered by the saints are still limited, and when the factions take actual actions to verify their conjectures, no one will hate it I have few resources.

Oh, saints are just like ordinary people!
When I returned to the crowd, [Wang]'s speech was halfway through, and I only witnessed the second half of his speech:
After "intense discussions" among the sages, the "modified version plan" of the [Gene Survival School] was finally selected as the route to survive the end of the Great Ice River.

I noticed the word "modified version" in this sentence.

[Wang] told everyone that the first step in the plan is to let everyone perform the [Ascension Ritual] to become a demihuman with powerful power.

I realized here that the existing resources are impossible to supply everyone in the base to perform the [Ascension Ritual].

Therefore, I estimate that the ascension ceremony mentioned by [Wang] should be some kind of "basic version" or "simple version".

The crowd was in an uproar, and most of them were rebels, because in everyone's mind, no one wanted to transform from a human into a beast—even if it gave them stronger power and the capital to survive in the apocalypse, even if they knew in their hearts that it might be Even the optimal solution, people cannot accept the fact that "degenerate" has become a "beast".

I saw the disappointment in [Wang]'s eyes. At this moment, I even felt that he had lost confidence in this group of people.

But he overcame this disappointment—I was shocked by it, and I thought to myself that these two things, "compassion" and "kindness", exist in the body of the strong.

It's... unbelievable.

I thought there was only the weak and the strong left in this world.

I thought that such noble emotions as "compassion" and "kindness" were just jokes written in books to brainwash people. I thought morality was a kind of joke to fool people.

It's my fault.

I sensed my own inferiority, but I didn't know if I could make a difference.

The inertia of life took me forward, and I couldn't help myself.

In the end, part of the crowd accepted [Wang's] suggestion, and they entered the holy mountain as the first batch of people who were ready to accept the [Basic Ascension Ceremony].

Soon, we will see their changes.

There is another piece of good news—because of the appearance of [King], the turmoil in the base has temporarily ended, and people have regained their faith in Salomel, and because of this, they have become kind.

Since the monitoring station is one of the few important functions of the base that has not lost its ability to work, we have been given preferential treatment - we have been provided with slightly more food than the average person, so the children do not have to cry out in pain from hunger in the middle of the night parents.

The family members of colleagues at the monitoring station gathered together, and everyone was fairly united.

My wife and children were among them, and they were safe, my only solace in this cold world.

I can't wait to see the results of [Basic Ascension Ritual].

The news brought by [Wang] will definitely calm down the irritability of the civilians, and will also reduce the crime rate to a certain extent-this is a certainty, and it is also a good thing. Now everyone in the base has nowhere to go, and the only thing they can rely on is saint. 】

……

【It is the 49th day from the end of the ice age.

It has been ten days since the last time the saint went down the mountain to take away the group of people, and the door of the holy mountain has not been opened again.

We are getting more and more panicked, has the saint abandoned us?

Has the saint left with his only and most devoted followers?

It was getting colder and colder in the base, and the few old people left could not survive the deadly cold night.

People died of starvation one after another, and their bodies were dumped in the hollow below the base, because it was soon discovered that the radiation above the surface began to seep downward.

The first man turns into a blue-skinned zombie, and unending terror erupts.

The radiation is irresistible, and more and more people have turned into blue-skinned zombies. They follow the will of the Supreme God to find strangers and take their lives.

I was separated from my wife and children.

When I got it back, everything was settled.

I am still alive.

How can I still be alive?
Could it be that Salongmeier is protecting me?

Salomel!my Lord!Will I be reunited with my wife and children when my life ends and I enter your kingdom?
I seem to have heard a divine revelation!

I heard Salongmeier tell me: You want to find my existence, I will help you survive the end of the ice age, and I will reunite you and your family at your request.

I am ecstatic!I'll be seeing them soon!

I told my colleagues at the monitoring station: We need to build a huge antenna, adjust the power of the monitoring system to the maximum, and search for Saronmel all over the world. Once we find Salongmel, we will be able to survive the doomsday!
My colleagues didn't believe me!
This group of idiots!This group of idiots!This group of...

Not only did they not believe me, they wanted to stop me!They say I'm crazy!
I'm not crazy!I'm not crazy!You are crazy!I'm going to build an antenna!I want to see Salomel!I want to...see family!

If you come to stop me again, I will kill you all! 】

……

【It is the 20th day from the end of the ice age.

During this month, I consolidated the resources of the monitoring station. The good news is that the remaining diesel is enough for the machine to run for another ten days, so that I have enough time to search for Saronmeier.

I also modified part of the monitoring equipment during this month, so that the detection distance of the electrical signal can cover half of the planet.

If Salongmeier really exists, it must be sensed.

It's just that the workload is too much, as if nothing can be done.

The work efficiency of my colleagues is too low, it doesn't matter, I just do it myself.

They have to stay with me. There are almost no living people in the base. If my colleagues die too, I don't know what I will do. 】

……

this person...

I'm afraid I've gone crazy...

Salomel didn't exist in the first place, and he couldn't find it if he kept searching.

Chen Yan thought, it would be great if there was more information about the holy mountain or the saints.

Chen Yan continued to look down:
【It is the 14th day from the end of the ice age.

I hear the voice of Salomel!
Salomel told me that the doomsday ark he prepared for the believers is in this base!
He also told me that this base is called [Cyber ​​Zion], it is the origin of the next era, and it is the sacred place for him to fight against the Supreme God.

I knew that Salomel would not give up on us!

Salomel told me that He is now in the Holy Mountain - at the top of the base!
I am about to embark on this sacred pilgrimage. 】

……

Cyber ​​Zion... is the name of this base?
Chen Yan couldn't tell anything from the name.

What followed was the last record that Chen Yan had seen before:

【Now is the 13th day from the end of the ice age, we finally met the legendary Judgment Day - the distributed denial of service attack from the gods detonated the steel dome of Cyber ​​Zion, we must leave, leave here, go Looking for the Ark of Doom - Sa Longmeier. 】

Logging ends here.

Chen Yan pondered for a moment, and when he turned his head, he saw that Xiao Er Klein, Hu Er Miao Shuisheng, and Swarm were also staring at the screen with big curious eyes.

Chen Yan asked:

"You all understand?"

Except for Swarm, the other two said one by one:

"I read... I don't understand... Now is not the end..."

"What he said...wasn't right..."

Although the expressions of the two are still dull, there is light in their eyes. Although they can still be called "artificial mental retardation", they have obviously accepted the "enlightenment" and have their own ideas.

Chen Yan thought, this record is indeed not correct.

This world is not very good, but it does not reach the level of "doomsday" at all.

Even the village of the orcs' ears seems to be quite prosperous. Although the roads in the village are narrow, there are still a steady stream of pedestrians, and there is no sign of decline.

Chen Yan looked at the skin on Xiaoer Klein's arm that was not covered by the animal skin clothes, and thought:
'The difference is that the Orcs are not affected by the radiated snow.

This base... People in Cyber ​​Zion will turn into blue-skinned zombies after encountering radiation snow, and the orc-eared people will turn into blue-skinned zombies only after being bitten by zombies... From this point of view, the orc-eared people will turn into blue-skinned zombies... His body is stronger than the humans in Bossian. '

Chen Yan couldn't figure out what was going on.

That being the case, why not look for the holy mountain, enter it, and see what happened in the holy mountain.

The internal structure of Cyber ​​Zion is quite simple. In addition to the monitoring station on the top floor, it is the ground full of blue-skinned zombies, and the dark lower base of the base that can be seen from the potholes above the ground-according to the records It is said that there should be a bottomless abyss.

Although there were many blue-skinned zombies, they moved slowly. Swarm smashed a group of them into the air with a swing of a steel pipe he found somewhere.

With this skill, Chen Yan didn't know how the village was breached.

'Once the village is involved, the setting of this world will become mentally handicapped and there will be problems... It's as fake as it is. '

Under Swarm's opening, the four of Chen Yan and his party arrived at the base quickly and unimpeded, which is the top of Cyber ​​Zion.

The feature of "top" is too obvious-under the cracked dome of the entire Cyberzion, the ground is inclined, from the bottom to the top, like a pilgrimage road.

At the top of the road is a destroyed alloy gate, which is obviously explosion-proof, with a broken [Wandering Eye] printed on the door, which is the [Eye] logo of Saronmeier.

Now, the door has been forcibly destroyed by some kind of explosive, and the pattern of [Wandering Eyes] is no longer complete.

Chen Yan looked at the destroyed pattern of the [Youyi Eye], and suddenly a thought arose in his heart:
'Did the recorder destroy it... I don't know what kind of method was used to blow up the blast door.

He clearly believes in Salongmel, but destroying Salongmel's totem, even in response to Salongmel's call, is undoubtedly blasphemy... According to the situation in this world, the fate of blasphemers will probably not be so good. '

Chen Yan wanted to go forward and enter the door, but suddenly felt that there was something in the damaged hole on the door.

He took a closer look, and saw that the person staring at him in the hole in the door was a pale pupil surrounded by a lens filled with black blood!
"Roar!"

The moment he met Chen Yan's gaze, a huge force erupted inside the door, and the alloy door without restraint slammed into Chen Yan with an unknown amount of inertial force, and it was about to smash Chen Yan into pieces in the next moment .

"boom!"

Swarm appeared in front of Chen Yan almost in the form of a "flash", and the entire alloy gate exploded on Swarm's body!

The shattered metal fragments cut Chen Yan's face, and even penetrated his body, turning his body into a sieve for ventilation in an instant.

But he didn't feel it, and he didn't even know that his body had been pierced by metal fragments.

He just subconsciously glanced at Tydanios in his arms.

Little things are fine.

The little thing was sleeping soundly.

Chen Yan heaved a sigh of relief and looked towards the door.

What has died under Swarm's fist is a bloody monster. The monster was originally wearing clothes. Judging from the style of the clothes, it seems that it was once a staff member in the holy mountain. Cracked, and it became what it is now.

Chen Yan stepped forward and tried to use synaesthesia on the monster.

The synaesthesia he developed this time was very weak, only to the point of "can see the broken picture" - in the synesthesia produced, Chen Yan saw the process of monsters mutating from humans:
The man seemed to have been injected with something, and then became very painful. He stretched out his trembling hands and begged for mercy to the "pair of feet" in front of him, but the "pair of feet" did not move, so his body began to deform at an accelerated rate , until it became what it is now.

'That injection... is [Basic Ascension Ritual]. '

Although Chen Yan thought so, there was no reason.

'Becoming like this ghost is probably because the ceremony failed. '

He turned his eyes away from the mutated monster and looked into the holy mountain.

The inside of the holy mountain, that is, the "mountain" mentioned in the previous record, was actually a white mist—the whole holy mountain was shrouded in some kind of white mist, and nothing could be seen clearly.

The holy mountain was originally like this?still?
Fortunately, moving forward, when walking in the fog, Swarm already had experience in dealing with mutated monsters, and could always kill the mutated monsters rushing up one step ahead of time, and the group of four was safe and sound.

After continuing to move forward for a distance of about tens of meters, Chen Yan discovered another thing on the holy mountain. It was a mechanical column with a complicated structure like a [tower] engraved with the totem of the wandering eye. Already destroyed, with limited synaesthesia—

In the synaesthesia of the [Tower], Chen Yan saw "a pair of feet" again, and saw people kneeling in front of a pair of feet—the bodies of those people had mutated, and they were much stronger than normal humans, although they were wearing alloy armor. , but it can clearly be seen that it has the characteristics of a beast-sharp claws, fur, overly strong muscles, and animal ears.

'This is the group of people who followed the [King] into the holy mountain...the first group of people who accepted the [Basic Ascension Ritual], unlike the ones who turned into monsters before, they succeeded and became 【Asians】. '

The demihumans knelt on the ground and met their [King].

Chen Yan and his party continued to move forward, and found the next [tower] a few minutes later.

In the next broken picture that appeared in synaesthesia, Chen Yan heard a voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar:

"The Supreme God can't wait, He can't wait to restart the end, this time He used a different method from the last time - He used an attack against us, making the environment of the whole world so that we can't survive, and this time This new environment can nourish the newcomers of this era.”

"To survive, we must adapt to the new environment, to adapt to this new world where he does not notice."

"I know it's hard. It may take hundreds or thousands of years. You may have to endure unbearable pain. You may have to bid farewell to everything in the past until even your memories are erased by time."

"But we're here, which means we're going to win."

In the broken synesthesia picture, Chen Yan moved his vision upwards along those feet, and then saw the familiar, vicissitudes of life, with a firm expression.

It was Osmandis.

He stared at the demihumans who surrendered to him, but Chen Yan could clearly see his eyes falling on Chen Yan's own pupils.

"Live."
