Infinite Disaster Survival

Wen Zheng was not aware of the subsequent situation in the institute. He spent half a month recuperating in the safe house before going out to inquire about the situation outside.

The most concerned news at present is that an unknown force is against Wen Zheng, the leading awakener in the country. Not only did they launch an attack on the institute, but they also hired someone to have plastic surgery to look like Wen Zheng to commit fraud outside.

This news was specially announced. Now Wen Zheng has been escorted to several secret institutes to continue to perform awakening characters. I hope that the general public will not be easily deceived. If you encounter someone who looks similar to Wen Zheng, report it in time.

Once such a measure comes out, even if Wen Zheng himself is not crowned as a wanted criminal, his face will obviously enjoy the treatment of a wanted criminal. If he could not really change his face with the system store, he would have to run to a deserted place to spend this year.

Wen Zheng could not be found, and the measures to conduct investigations every time caused dissatisfaction among many people. So after half a month, the control was no longer so strict. Relying on years of survival experience, Wen Zheng was not only able to live a good life, but also made up a suitable identity for himself, moved into the safe house openly, and got along well with his neighbors.

Nowadays, with too many people sleeping and dying, the population has decreased significantly, and gradually evolved into the current situation where resources far exceed the population. More people are willing to enjoy their current lives before they are likely to die. Even if productivity declines due to the decrease in population, the various resources are sufficient before the disaster occurs. The consequences of the series of impacts brought about by this disaster may not be discovered until a few years later.

After Wen Zheng got familiar with the neighbors, he followed them to experience the life of ordinary people in today's society, which was completely different from the days in the institute before.

Although dreams themselves are an unscientific existence, the institute is more willing to explain and solve this problem with scientific means. But for ordinary people, in addition to obeying the country's arrangements, they are also willing to try some unscientific methods when the number of awakeners is far less than the number of sleepers.

So Wen Zheng, a young man in his twenties whose parents died in their sleep, left his hometown, a sad place, and wanted to go out before they died. He was taken to various Taoist temples and temples nearby by his uncles and aunts next door.

These are buildings that existed legally before the disaster, and after the disaster, there was no propaganda everywhere to believe that they could wake up safely from sleep. People spontaneously wanted to seek psychological comfort, so they were not banned.

Never underestimate the elderly people around who love to chat. They often know some news that is only secretly circulated among the elderly.

Because of their limitations in thinking, they will not completely obey the content released by the government like young people. Occasionally, they will do some actions that they think are harmless, which may sometimes bring quite serious consequences, but they will be the safest channel for Wen Zheng to inquire about the news.

Wen Zheng followed his uncles and aunts to these places several times, and helped him with his image when he had nothing to do. Gradually, the relationship improved, and Wen Zheng saw several secret magic weapons that were not casually promoted.

When he saw the red paper with familiar fonts, Wen Zheng actually rejected it in his heart. When he saw the familiar face appearing in the photo, he had to use his greatest strength to suppress the twitching corners of his mouth, and only showed a shocked look on his face.

"Isn't this a portrait of Wen Zheng?" Wen Zheng suppressed many words he wanted to complain, and finally uttered the most normal question.

Those pieces of red paper with fonts were the ones that Wen Zheng had written and were taken away by others to get some blessings. The one that Aunt Wang took out was not the original. Wen Zheng really didn't expect that those papers were not only not thrown away casually, but also copied and circulated everywhere.

"Yes, it's Wen Zheng who awakened many sleepers. I heard that the words on this paper are what he wrote to others after he woke up for the first time. There is also his photo. Put it under the pillow, so that you can have fewer nightmares. This is a good person. I heard that someone wanted to harm him some time ago. We all guessed that it was those bad foreigners who did it. Now he is protected by the country, but we still hope that he can survive well. With him, we can save more people. I also heard that someone set up a long-life tablet for him. This is not good. There is no need to do these things when a person is fine." Aunt Wang pulled Wen Zheng into the house and whispered.

Wen Zheng really didn't expect that he even had a tablet. In fact, he didn't do much. After listening, he now felt that the red paper and photos were nothing big. He could hear the concern in Aunt Wang's words. Although some people would arrest him for reasons such as exploring his secrets, more people still hoped for his safety.

Just based on these, Wen Zheng felt that the previous year was not wasted.

"Come here, Auntie Wang has extra copies of red paper. I'll give you one to keep at home, but there's only one photo, and it's not easy to print. I'll bring it to your store in the evening, and you can look for photos in advance. The ones published in the news two days ago are good." Aunt Wang said as she put the copied red paper in her hand into Wen Zheng's hand.

"Thank you so much, Auntie Wang." Wen Zheng came back to his senses and hurriedly took it, but as soon as his hand touched the red paper in his hand, he felt something was wrong. He paused for a moment and quickly continued, "I will keep it well."

Under Auntie Wang's instruction, Wen Zheng did not fold it, but put it flat in the book and took it home. After he got home, he took out the red paper with complicated eyes and gently placed his palm on it to feel it. After a few seconds, Wen Zheng let go of his hand. His feeling just now was not wrong. When he touched the red paper, the familiar and somewhat strange energy flowed happily in those handwritings.

When Wen Zheng wrote those blessing words on the red words, he tried to input pure energy into it, but the energy was difficult to feel from a distance. Wen Zheng later thought that even if the energy could play some subtle role, it should have been consumed long ago.

As a result, he encountered this familiar and strange energy today. It was familiar because this energy was born from Wen Zheng himself, but it was strange because there were many powers that did not come from Wen Zheng. Moreover, Wen Zheng has confirmed that this red paper is different from the type of paper he used at that time. It is indeed not the batch he distributed at the beginning, but some energy has been transferred to it.

After feeling Wen Zheng's breath, the energy contained in the paper is quite active, and even eager to try, wanting to drill into Wen Zheng's body on its own.

Wen Zheng reached out and felt it carefully again. There was no bad feeling, and the energy contained in it was not much. He decided to take a risk and no longer resist the temptation of this energy to return. As soon as he opened a crack in the door, the energy directly drilled into Wen Zheng's body.

In addition to the pure energy itself, the extra energy also has color. But that color is different from the colored energy absorbed from the nightmare. It is warm, with worry, expectation, and blessing, all of which are positive emotions.

After these energies entered Wen Zheng's body, a subtle warmth flowed in his mind. The dark energies that were difficult to remove from nightmares were slowly melted under the impact of these new warm energies. However, the amount of these warm energies was too small, and it was just a drop in the bucket in the face of so much dark energy.

Slowly opening his eyes, Wen Zheng looked at the paper in his hand with a hint of surprise. He suspected that there would always be negative emotions that were difficult to suppress when using energy, and it was because of the hands and feet caused by these dark energies, but he had not found a way to remove them for the time being. He escaped from the research institute and hid here, but found an unexpected surprise.

However, the characteristics of this energy still need to be studied more carefully, and it cannot be absorbed too casually.

Recalling the feeling in his mind just now, Wen Zheng guessed that it should be the emotions transmitted by people that changed the energy, but because the energy itself came from Wen Zheng, and the emotions were related to Wen Zheng himself, there was no resistance to Wen Zheng at all.

Based on this speculation, Wen Zheng has been thinking about whether the nightmare pretending to be a sleeper has anything to do with the Night God Cult in that dream, and how the Night God Cult has developed so rapidly. Now he finally has a guess.

He can absorb the positive energy that people feedback to him by accident, so did the so-called Night God Cult leader accidentally discover this situation and use human emotions to strengthen his own power. However, the Night God Cult is a rapidly developing sect. Just by accepting anyone as a believer, it is more like absorbing negative feedback.

The dark energy absorbed from the nightmare alone makes it difficult for Wen Zheng to suppress negative emotions occasionally. The possibility that the so-called Night God Cult leader can bear it without becoming a madman is extremely low.

Or, the existence of those who absorb negative emotions in the Night God Cult is not a human in this world?

Wen Zheng's mind flashed with various possible conjectures. Since the game system issued a task to find the secrets of the Night God Cult after the last dream, the Night God Cult must be related to the last dream, but no matter how many conjectures there are, they need actual evidence to verify.

There are more and more problems, but Wen Zheng still needs to find traces of the Night God Cult by exploring in the crowd. Yunting City, as the birthplace of the Night God Cult, has been subjected to the strongest crackdown by the government. Wen Zheng quite agrees with this move, but the Night God Cult is hidden deeper, so it is very difficult for Wen Zheng to find it.

According to Aunt Wang, Wen Zheng input another energy into the red paper, and then put it flat under the pillow for safekeeping.

During dinner, Aunt Wang came again, calling Wen Zheng to go out for a walk together, and whispered to Wen Zheng if he had chosen the photos. Wen Zheng now knew that Aunt Wang wanted to take him to print photos.

It is normal to run to print your own photos, but it is a bit embarrassing to use them to pray for peace. But no one knows that Wen Zheng is the person in the photo under the mask, so as long as he is not embarrassed, he naturally follows Aunt Wang to a nearby supermarket secretly.

Now, thanks to the efforts of the government, the probability of waking up from a deep sleep after entering a dream for the first time is quite high. According to Aunt Wang, the supermarket owner and his family of four were very lucky to wake up from their first deep sleep, and have not experienced a second deep sleep so far.

After the introduction, Wen Zheng saw Aunt Wang and the boss secretly communicating like in a TV series, asking Wen Zheng to send the selected photos to the boss. The boss took a look, called his wife out and gave her instructions, and then the boss's wife walked into the room inside the supermarket. The door of the room was only opened a crack, and it was immediately closed after the person entered. It was dark inside without turning on the lights, and it was almost impossible to see anything.

While waiting, Wen Zheng walked around the supermarket and bought some daily necessities that were consumed quickly. When passing the counter selling food, he saw two children who stayed there to choose. Just by looking at the appearance of the two children, it can be seen that they are the children of the boss.

But what attracted Wen Zheng's attention was not the appearance of the two children, but the necklaces they wore around their necks.

The temperature in late summer was still so hot, but the two children were wearing tops with a little collar, which could hide the pendants on their necks in their clothes, and only part of the red rope was exposed, which looked quite ordinary. After accidentally dropping the snacks on the shelf, the necklace of the younger child slipped off his neck when he bent down to pick it up, allowing Wen Zheng to see the pendant.

It looked familiar.

Just as Wen Zheng wanted to continue to identify, the boss who noticed the movement here walked over quickly, blocked Wen Zheng and the two children with his body, reached out and stuffed the fallen necklace back into the children's clothes, and pushed his hands behind his back: "You only know how to eat snacks every day, do you still want to eat at night? Hurry back to the room to do your homework."

The two children didn't dare to say anything more and ran to another room.

Wen Zheng still had the same expression since he came in, and said to the boss with an envious expression: "Boss is so lucky, his wife and children can be with him. If it were me, I would definitely not blame the children."

The boss's serious expression eased, but the doubts in his eyes had not been eliminated.

Just at this moment, the proprietress walked out of the room holding a bag with photos in her hand. Aunt Wang was waiting in front of the counter, and she immediately asked Wen Zheng if he had finished buying. Wen Zheng walked over with the things in his hand, paid the bill naturally, and left behind Aunt Wang.
