Edge of Pure Land

Chapter 7 Welcome to the new world

"Um?"

 Aoki's eyes became sharp, and his subordinates also came over to take a look, obviously seeing something surprising.

 Because this group of survivors had lost the ability to resist and showed extreme pain after experiencing the screaming attack, with the exception of Lu Fuji.

This team also experienced the same thing back then and can empathize with it even more.

Suffering that level of pain and still maintaining fighting ability is as outrageous as a woman giving birth wielding a mop to fight with gangsters. No one would believe it.

“It stands to reason that only cocoon breakers who have mastered the sacred rhythm and completed the first stage of awakening can ignore the erosion of this low-level white ghost... of course, except for high-level talents.”

After reading the battle review, Aoki turned to look at the corner of the cabin: "There are actually two high-level talents in this group of cocoon breakers. It seems that they can be sent directly to complete the evolution."

　　Since Aoki led people to airborne to clear the area and then took the cocoon breakers into the helicopter, his eyes showed a drastic change for the first time, like a bad wolf seeing a delicious lamb.

 Even licked his lips.

This made Lu Buer and He Sai feel a chill.

"Don't be too nervous. This is a good thing for you. We usually send people out to find the most valuable cocoon breakers based on prophecies and spend huge resources to help them break out of the cocoon in advance. As for the remaining people, can we save them? It’s just an unknown number, and there are not a few who died in the cocoon.”

Aoki turned over the tablet and pulled up their information: "Nowadays, the talents of evolvers are divided into different levels. Most of you here have low-level talents. If you have unique skills, you will be judged as medium-level talents. Those who have the ability to fight Talented people are relatively rare high-level talents. This database was established five hundred years ago and is easy to check. "

"Low talents, medium talents, or high talents are not absolute. High talents may also be downgraded due to various reasons. Low talents and medium talents may one day be able to counterattack and become suitable. Fighting. In short, it has to do with your own spirit."

When the data information was loaded, the information of Lu Buer and He Sai suddenly appeared on the screen. This was most likely entered when the Kabbalah Tree of Life system was launched five hundred years ago, from birth date to family situation, and education. Educational qualifications, physical examination reports, etc. are all available.

What Lu Fuji couldn't understand was that he was just a sick man with a short life expectancy. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have the so-called fighting talent, let alone a high-level talent.

 Except he is half a beta player.

 There is nothing special about it.

Who would define a person with terminal cancer as a rare talent.

 But he soon got the answer.

Because he found that his personal information in the database displayed on the tablet computer had obviously been tampered with. Most of the information was in line with the actual situation. Only in terms of physical examination reports and medical consultations, it actually showed that everything was normal. At most It's sub-healthy.

 Sika Fuji felt something was wrong again.

 It’s okay if someone sends him a helmet.

 Someone actually tampered with his information.

 What exactly is this going to do?

 Want to save him?

It was at this time that he discovered an even more surprising thing, that is, his parents' information had also been tampered with, and their occupation had become an ordinary teacher!

 Suddenly, everything became confusing in his eyes.

 “José, right?”

Aoki said with great interest: "You killed a White Walker with a chainsaw?"

José said suspiciously: "A strange ghost?"

“It’s the mummy you encountered.”

"um, yes."

"The low-level White Walkers will emit a scream of severe pain, which usually makes people miserable. We call them dirges. Theoretically, there is no way to defeat the Cocoon Breaker who has not mastered the sacred rhythm. Its, how did you do it?"

 “Is it painful? I don’t feel it.”

Jose answered truthfully, he is indeed different from others.

Aoki showed a satisfied smile: "That's probably true. This is a high-level talent that is naturally suitable for fighting. Even the White Walkers whose evolutionary level is higher than yours to a certain extent will not have an impact on you. Come to think of it, Lu Buer Is it the same with my classmates?”

 Lu Fuji met his gaze and felt a slight shiver run down his spine.

 Because Jose’s situation is obviously different from his.

 He could feel the pain caused by the scream.

 It’s just that he can tolerate it because he is used to it.

"It seems that I have good luck this time, and I have a lot of middle-level talents. The specific situation will be judged by the divine intelligence. You are all my achievements. After you become an evolver, don't forget my help. "Thank you." Aoki said lightly.

 No one knows exactly what an evolver is.

 But it would be cool if you could get the same superpowers as these people.

Lu Fuji's heart moved, because all the settings have not changed. Evolvers are the humans who have extraordinary power in this world. Originally, he had nothing to rely on except a little understanding of the world, but now he has The seed of the gods found in the land of death.

  If this is what his parents said, the rarest hidden prop.

Then he has a trump card to survive in this world.

Aoki looked at the watch on his wrist, turned around and whispered to his subordinates: "Inform them and ask Mr. Montenegro to pick up the newcomers. This group of people has come into contact with the followers of the Corpse Food Cult, and their memories need to be erased... They cannot be allowed to the public. Know those guys exist.”

 The subordinates were shocked and understood.

“Now, on behalf of the Supreme Federation, I announce that I will officially welcome you, the cocoon-breakers, to the new world. You will reintegrate into society and start your life again.”

A slight curve formed on Aoki's lips: "Get ready to welcome a new life. The world after five hundred years will be very exciting."

  ·

  ·

Humbling sound.

 The helicopter encountered strong airflow after taking off, and the people in the cabin shook violently.

Lu Buer kowtowed his head, but when he raised his head inadvertently, he found that the fog in the cold night had been blown away by the wind, the mountains to the east were reflected in dazzling gold by the rising sun, and the lush forests were illuminated by thousands of rays of sunlight. Penetrating, the empty city was left behind.

 It’s like leaving behind the past life.

 Everyone feels lucky to have survived the disaster.

 But this once familiar world has become alienated and distant.

Now these cocoon breakers have accepted the reality. This era of national evolution may be more exciting than before. If their sleeping city had not become a place of death for no one, they might have come out hundreds of years ago to have a look. This world.

When they were about to fly away from Fengcheng, they were shocked to see troops stationed next to the railway at the edge of the city. Soldiers with live ammunition set up a cordon, and heavy tanks and armored vehicles were parked next to them. It looked like a fully armed ground force. force.

 The soldiers saw the helicopter and made a gesture to the sky.

 Like saying hello.

In mid-air, we also encountered other helicopters flying back and forth, all of them seemed to be here to search for and rescue the cocoon-breakers in the land of the afterlife. Ridiculous voices rang out on the communication channel.

“I was lucky this time. I found a good batch of good seedlings, and their fighting skills are also very high. However, these children are really pitiful. They were so scared that they cried for their father and mother in the land of death.”

"What can we do? The life restriction zone in Peak City was formed too quickly back then. If they were not sealed in a cocoon, they might be attacked by the White Walkers before they could evacuate."

“This group of people I found are still from Shanghai, and they just came to Fengcheng for tourism... They clamored all the way to go back to their hometown to visit, and I have to apply for them, which is really troublesome!”

Aoki snorted and turned off the communication. "This is an era of universal evolution. Today, the world's population reaches 15 billion, which is twice as much as before. The descendants of the first batch of cocoon-breakers can also become evolvers. Today, the number of evolvers is 3 billion. There are many, but 90% of them are weak, not much stronger than you. Every evolver needs to experience in the military for a period of time. The major life restricted areas also need the army to be stationed here to prevent the riots of the White Walkers, and occasionally go in to search and rescue them. Cocooner."

Aoki explained: "Today's era is relatively peaceful, and large-scale wars have not occurred for many years. The old international order is still there, but the evolved ones are managed by the federation. The lives of ordinary people have not changed much from before, except for some changes. You can’t go outside the scenic spots and cities that have become forbidden areas in life... When I’m on vacation, I’ll go back to Yanjing and go to the old alley to have a cup of bean juice.”

"so much?"

Shika Fuji was stunned: "Is it close to one-fifth?"

"Almost, every five people now have one evolver. And evolvers must serve in the military, which can take as little as six months or as long as three years before they can change careers."

Aoki replied: "The military headquarters is similar to a school for evolvers. The learning efficiency in the new era is very high, and the utilization of resources is also maximized."

Lu Fuji saw the military camp stationed on the edge of the city. There were many towns and farmland along the way. There were also vehicles driving on the highway, and long lines of high-speed trains roared past.

 It seems that nothing has changed from what it was five hundred years ago.

 It wasn’t until half an hour later that Lu Buer and the others arrived at Linhai.

Linhai is also a coastal city, with skyscrapers standing on the ground, scattered buildings neatly arranged, criss-crossing highways running in all directions, and troops stationed on the westernmost side.

“This is Linhai City, an international metropolis. Nowadays, cities that are closer to life restricted areas are more developed, because they can also obtain more resources while facing danger.”

Aoki continued: "Compared to five hundred years ago, the biggest difference between this city is the Jufeng Mountains to the west. Because it is too close to the life restricted area of ​​Fengcheng, strange ghosts often appear. Therefore, there are troops stationed here, often There will be evolvers going in to explore.”

Fifteen minutes later, the helicopter landed on the tarmac of the airport. The cocoon-breakers walked out of the cabin in a daze, with the cold wind blowing in their faces and blowing their hair. What they saw was the towering terminal building, with the glass curtain wall reflecting the The sunshine is so brilliant that people can't even open their eyes.

 The mechanical covered bridge descended out of the air and landed precisely in front of them.

The flight attendants came to receive them immediately, with warm smiles on everyone’s faces. They gave them hand towels and biscuits, and said with a smile: “Welcome to five hundred years later!”

Next is the automated security check. The machine camera releases a laser to scan their entire body, and sprays are released from the filters on the walls on both sides to disinfect the entire body.

When we walked out of the corridor, we saw a dazzling array of shops in the rest area, the strong aroma from the cafe was refreshing, the beef noodles in the restaurant were even more mouth-watering, and there were passengers on the elevator, chatting and laughing while dragging their luggage. , lowering his head and fiddling with his mobile phone.

 It seems that everything is the same as it was five hundred years ago, but there is a huge sense of alienation.

 Because of the details.

They don’t recognize any of the brands in those stores.

 Including new age mobile phones.

　　Not only is it compact and slim, it can also release a projection light screen.

 The service facilities in the airport also have a sense of high-end technology.

 Everything is so new.

"In the past five hundred years, technology has actually not changed much, because we tend to focus on our own evolution and obtain more resources and productivity through the power of the mysterious side. But even so, you will still be very satisfied for a while. It’s hard to adapt. Well, it’s like Captain America woke up and found out that World War II had ended seventy years ago.”

 Aoki said lightly.

The cocoon breakers took the express lane because they currently had no identity authentication, were considered black households within the federal system, and had no luggage to pick up. They quickly arrived at the immigration hall.

 “Look, there is someone who has broken out of the cocoon.”

 “It is said that he has returned from the place of death.”

"You broke out of your cocoon so late. You must have come back from the land of the past. If you can come back alive from that place, you might be a genius! My mother said that it is best to find a talented cocoon breaker in your marriage partner. After all, People who break the cocoon usually have no relatives, so I don’t have to marry my parents-in-law.”

There were many people waiting to pick up the plane in the terminal, which blocked the road. Some people even held banners in their hands, indicating that they were here to greet the cocoon breakers, and shouted some unfamiliar names.

Lu Fuji felt that many people were staring at him.

 This made him a little uncomfortable.

 “Are they here to greet us?”

　José looked confused.

 “Welcome? Yes, but not quite.”

Aoki said with a half-smile: "Whenever a cocoon-breaker is brought to the gathering place, people who still have hope will flock there. But they are not out of enthusiasm, but because they want to take a look. Are there any of their family members among the Cocoon Breakers?”

 Police Officer An and Boss Zhang also raised their heads and looked left and right.

 “Reunite with your family?”

José's eyes dimmed. He knew clearly that his parents would not wait for him to break out of his cocoon, and they would most likely die of old age long ago.

 “Brother Lu, we can’t go back, right?”

 He whispered.

Lu Fuji just wanted to comfort him when he heard his next words.

 “Please give me your guidance for the rest of my life.”

"What's the meaning?"

"I mean, you are more experienced in being an orphan and can guide me..."

 “He Sai.”

 “What’s wrong, Brother Lu?”

 “Why don’t you think you were bitten to death by the White Walker?”

　　　…”

Officer An looked around blankly, and suddenly heard rapid breathing behind him.

 Boss Zhang suddenly squeezed him away, stood on tiptoes and looked into the crowd.

Because right in the airport lobby, soldiers armed with live ammunition were escorting a group of children away, seemingly instructing them to learn what they were visiting along the way.

The reason why Boss Zhang was so excited was because he saw a familiar figure in the crowd and his strong sixth sense made him squeeze forward desperately. At this time, the silent crowd also became commotion, and many people lowered their heads and raised their feet. Get out of the way.

That was a little girl about ten years old, with green and immature eyes, wearing a light pink cotton coat, like a little kitten. Suddenly she seemed to sense something.

 Through the surging crowd, she turned around and saw her father.

This glance is full of surprises.

 The little girl came running quickly, like an elf traveling in the fields.

At this moment, Lu Buer and the others clearly felt that Boss Zhang’s heart was about to be broken.

 “That’s my daughter, my daughter!”

 Boss Zhang rushed over and hugged her with tears in his eyes.

In less than ten seconds, everyone was shocked. A call that was so ordinary spanned five hundred years, and the father and daughter recognized each other through the vicissitudes of life.

  The orphan group’s expressions were expressionless and even more sour.

　　　Thanks to my rich sister Baiyinmeng for saving my only chapter! The boss is so generous that he gives birth to eighty children at one time! I wish the boss great blessings and longevity! Unify the world for thousands of years!
