Chapter 186 Two Hundred Years

Two hours later.

Zhou Yuan combined the intelligence he had at hand and made preliminary preparations for various abnormal events that might occur.

He looked at the several abnormal events that were selected separately and complained: "I don't know why, but I have a strong feeling that 'once I am prepared, I will never get involved in these abnormal events.'"

"I think so too." Fang Qing nodded in agreement.

According to Zhou Yuan's luck, it is very likely.

·
"Guangxi, I'm going to enter the dungeon mission."

"Ah? I'll be right back."

After receiving the call, Chen Guangxi hurried back from the comic convention, "What's going on?"

Zhou Yuan briefly explained and then extended an invitation: "Do you want to come along?"

Chen Guangxi saw through Zhou Yuan's thoughts and said with a smile: "I know you are anxious, but isn't it too early for a date now?
Moreover, the task force just received an order from above to station near the blessed land in advance and leave early tomorrow morning."

"Is that so..." Zhou Yuan felt regretful. Forming a team to go through a dungeon is the best way to enhance relationships and cultivate bonds.

A few hours later, it was almost midnight.

Zhou Yuan closed the curtains, turned off the lights in the room, and lay on the bed quietly waiting for the transmission deadline to arrive.

Chen Guangxi was sitting nearby. She was very curious and wanted to see the specific situation during the transmission.

As time was running out, Zhou Yuan began to count down:

"Five, four..."

"Have a safe trip. I'll treat you to dinner when you come back." Chen Guangxi said.

"Don't set a flag, big sister!"

As soon as Zhou Yuan finished speaking in fear, he disappeared in an instant.

Chen Guangxi raised his eyebrows in surprise: "What an advanced space teleportation, if I hadn't been staring at it I wouldn't have noticed it at all.

Is this the divine weapon..."

·
Zhou Yuan opened his eyes again. With his dark vision, he adapted to the darkness in an instant and found himself lying in a hibernation capsule that had been abandoned for a long time.

The reason why it can be seen that it has been abandoned for a long time is that the glass of the hibernation capsule is covered with dust, and there is no sign of any operation inside, and the energy seems to have been exhausted long ago.

Zhou Yuan entered ghost form, stood up from the hibernation capsule, looked around, and saw clearly the environment he was in.

This is a long-abandoned church with benches scattered all over the ground, some broken and some covered with dust and cobwebs.

The originally exquisite murals have faded and become blurred, the walls are mottled and peeling, revealing the bricks and stones inside, and the colored glass on the doors and windows is shattered, leaving only empty window frames.

There was a big hole in the top of the church, and the hole was right in front of the hibernation capsule.

This means the hibernation capsule fell from the sky.

Through the hole above my head, I could see the dark sky outside.

【Since two hundred years ago, the world has lost the sun, the moon, the stars, and all the light from the starry sky has disappeared. When people look up at the universe, they can only see endless darkness.】

The abandoned church was covered in dust and overgrown with weeds. The weeds had even grown to Zhou Yuan's thighs. It seemed that no living creature had been here for a long, long time.

"No, man, how come these grasses grow so vigorously without the sun?"

Zhou Yuan at least had some common sense. Sunlight is an important factor for plant growth. Without sunlight, plants cannot carry out effective photosynthesis, which will result in them being unable to produce enough organic matter to support their growth and development.

While some plants can survive low light conditions, their growth rate will be significantly slowed down…

And these weeds clearly don't make sense.

Is there some kind of mutation?

Zhou Yuan ended his ghost state and carefully felt the environment here.

"The temperature is 25 degrees Celsius, the humidity is around 40%, there is a slight breeze, there are no significant toxins and harmful substances in the air, and the overall composition is roughly the same as the real world..." In general, it is a very suitable environment for human, animal and plant survival.

Of course, the residents here are not necessarily human...

This is quite interesting. Where does the heat come from without the sun? Could it be geothermal? But Zhou Yuan did not sense the huge underground energy...

He simply grabbed a handful of weeds and stuffed them into his backpack to check the details.

【Name：Night Grass】

[Note: This is a mutated grass plant that can survive and thrive in a lightless environment. Because it has been genetically modified, it can be eaten directly or made into grass cakes.]

Can you still eat it?
Zhou Yuan was stunned.

"Genetic modification, hibernation capsules... this world has a certain level of technology."

Zhou Yuan turned around and checked the hibernation capsule. This thing was of very good quality. No matter how much damage it suffered after falling from the sky, even the glass didn't have a crack.

He found a scratched logo on the side, which was obviously the logo of the manufacturing company, but he didn't recognize the words on it.

That's not Earth writing.

Fortunately, the Eye of Appraisal gave a direct hint:
[This hibernation capsule is a product of Hyperion Technology Corporation, production date: April 9885, 14.

Date of commissioning: January 9886, 1.

Time of destruction: May 10570, 5.

Number of users: 0. 】

Zhou Yuan is silent
Well, now it can be completely confirmed that the copy he entered was indeed not an abnormal event in the previous intelligence, but a completely new abnormal world.

"There is a 700-year gap between the time the hibernation capsule was put into use and the time it was destroyed. And then some time passed... Based on the thickness of the dust in the hibernation capsule, the time span is between three and five years."

Zhou Yuan wrote down these time clues and, in accordance with the principle of plucking feathers from a passing goose, put the damaged hibernation capsule into his backpack. He would disassemble it when he returned, hoping to discover some new technology.

He continued to explore the church, looking for information that might be useful.

Soon, Zhou Yuan found many broken statue fragments in the church, which seemed to have been smashed to the ground by the crash of the hibernation capsule.

All signs indicate that there was no biological activity near the church before the hibernation capsule fell.

After using [Secondary Restoration Technique] to repair it, Zhou Yuan obtained a sculpture of a humanoid woman.

The woman was wearing a long skirt, with long hair that reached down to her feet and a veil on her face. Her expression was calm and gentle, and she opened her arms like a mother about to hug her child.

There were many tiny symbols engraved on her dress, several of which were clearly related to the moon.

Zhou Yuan looked suspicious: "Isn't this a goddess?"

[Name: Statue of the Goddess of Night]

[Note: After the long night fell, more and more people became believers of the night. They created the Church of the Night out of nothing, toppled the statue of the Golden Sun, and spread the blessings of the Goddess of Night all over the earth.

In the long darkness, people always need some spiritual support and comfort, otherwise they will despair and go crazy sooner or later. 】

"Hmm... It looks like it's not a goddess, it's a religion created by the natives themselves. I wonder if there is any supernatural power."

Zhou Yuan put away the statue and searched the church thoroughly before leaving with satisfaction.

Walking out of the church, he saw a broken world shrouded in darkness.

The broken high-rise buildings stood desolately, the roads broke into irregular pieces, the bridges collapsed into ruins, the cars burned to only charred frames, and lush plants crawled all over every corner.

A doomsday wasteland scene after the extinction of human civilization.

Suddenly, Zhou Yuan heard a noise coming from a distance.

Someone is running, and running for his life.

Behind it followed a series of messy footsteps...thirteen large beasts.
