Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

This weird place seems to still have a certain connection with reality, and things will wander here from time to time.

There were everything from a coin to a scrapped truck, and the eras were completely inconsistent. Roy even found a newspaper that was published hundreds of years ago when the Grand Knights were established—

If you could take this thing out, you might be able to sell it for a lot of money.

Apart from some possible parts, his main purpose was to find food. Fortunately, microorganisms such as bacteria seemed unable to survive in this world. Although the food Roy found had expired for who knows how many years, It doesn't mean it can't be eaten if it's processed.

These years of pampered life did not make Roy lose his previous skills. Instead, this hard life reminded him of his days as a bounty hunter in the wilderness.

The same hard work, the same boredom, the only difference is that Roy is alone here.

That's right, he is the only 'person'.

With today's only gain, Roy quickly returned to his stronghold before dark.

There is no danger here during the day, and the whole world is dead silent, but when night falls... everything becomes weird.

Roy didn't know the characteristics of this place at first, so he paid a heavy price.

He subconsciously shrugged his left shoulder, where there was a palm print that could not be removed no matter what method he used. This was the price he paid for his carelessness on the first day.

This base was transformed from a factory. Although it took Roy a lot of effort, it was the safest place in the surrounding area, enough to help him survive these difficult nights.

All channels in the factory that connect to the outside world have been sealed with wooden boards and industrial adhesives. Even the ventilation channels have not been spared.

After entering the factory through the small door on the side, Roy skillfully picked up the wooden boards and various tools placed aside, turned around and blocked the door. He had done this process hundreds of times, so he was naturally familiar with it. It couldn't be more familiar.

Although it will take some effort to dismantle these things tomorrow morning, this is the only way to ensure safety at night.

In the corner, an Originium generator was running hummingly. Perhaps because of insufficient power, the brightness of the industrial lighting on the roof was not very sufficient, and there were still many places covered by shadows inside the factory.

It's amazing that even though there are not many of them, Origin Stone can be found in such a ghost place. This familiar thing brings some comfort to Roy.

But generators are rarer.

I don’t know why, but although this world is very similar to reality, most of the things in it only have a shell, and there are some messy and incomprehensible things inside. Only a few parts can be used. The simple machine in the corner The generator was built piece by piece by Roy using the parts he found.

Although the power is not high, it is barely enough.

Putting the half bag of dry hard bread he found today into the storage cabinet, Roy counted the remaining supplies and found that if he saved some food, the food should be enough to last for about half a month. This discovery made Roy His expression became a little uncertain.

Half a month... sounds like a long time, but it is far from enough for him.

If he can't find a new food source within half a month, he may have to eat those strange plants growing in the city.

There is a weird atmosphere everywhere in this place. If it weren't for the force of the situation, Roy wouldn't want to touch anything here at all. He would only dare to eat food that was obviously strayed in from the outside world.

As for the water source he drank also came from this world... Roy selectively ignored this issue.

When people live in this world, don't always think about figuring everything out. Sometimes pretending to be stupid can make your life easier.

He took out a piece of bread and put it in the water until the two were completely mixed and turned into a paste. Roy raised his head and swallowed the bowl of unknown substance.

This is his dinner today.

After solving the problem of food and clothing, Roy returned to the simple workbench he had built and glanced at the mobile phone that was being charged on the stand.

The phone couldn't find any signal at all, and the edited text message above was still stuck on the sending interface. Roy would take time to take a look every day, hoping to see a successful message displayed on it.

Although the odds are low, it is possible to receive signals from the real world.

Roy couldn't break the hidden rules, so he had to rely on stupid methods to try.

Edit a text message, write a simple script, and let the phone keep trying to send this text message 24 hours a day. As long as it can receive a momentary signal, he can successfully send this message.

This is also an important reason why he can persist to this day.

"It's still the same today..."

He picked up the phone and fiddled with it twice. Looking at the zero signal in the corner of the screen, Roy couldn't help but let out a bitter smile, "I hope Monique doesn't hate me."

There were few things Roy regretted.

Whether he chose to join the Uncensored Alliance or helped Kane six months ago, Roy had no regrets, even if this wrong choice brought him to his current situation.

He knew the principle of equivalent exchange and enjoyed the large amount of money earned through the Wuxia Alliance. He also had to pay a price for it, and Roy had already been prepared.

How can you walk along the river without getting your shoes wet?This time it was just his turn.

But just three months ago, Roy did something he regretted deeply.

In a miraculous coincidence, Roy got through a phone call with reality. At that time, he was so obsessed that he believed the bastard's words and asked Monique to help them escape from this weird world.

Now Roy wanted to slap himself twice. In fact, the moment he said it, Roy already regretted it.

But the reason why a miracle is a miracle is because it lasts very briefly. Roy only had time to say his request. Before he could hear Monique's answer, the call was interrupted.

With Mr. Monique's temper, after receiving that phone call, she probably just wanted to scold him and not really collect the materials according to his request...

Roy wanted to use this reason to deceive himself, but unfortunately he couldn't.

Because he was very aware of Monique's duplicity, Roy could guess what she would do even without hearing her answer.

The only thing Roy wants to do now is to send this text message that has been edited long ago, telling Monique that you don't have to come to rescue him, and that his property stored in Casimir also needs a Inherited objects.

Unfortunately, several months later, the miracle never happened again.

Roy's mood has gone through a very complicated process from uneasy to anxious to now indifferent.

Although he knew that this question was very stupid, Roy still glanced at the shadowed area in the factory that was not covered by light, and couldn't help but ask, "So, is your plan reliable?"

Following his voice, something seemed to move in the darkness, making an uncomfortable squirming sound.

This squirming sound lasted for a while, and then a male voice came and answered Roy's question just now.

"You have to ask me this question almost every day, but my answer will never change - yes, according to my calculations, as long as the instantaneous burst of energy is enough, it can indeed open the channel between here and reality. We Isn’t that how you came to this dimension through this method?”

"You said 'enough', but that's the total energy generated by several small natural disasters." Roy said sarcastically, "And when we came in, didn't there only be one medium-sized natural disaster? Why did you say this so quickly? So many times? I’m afraid half of the great knights will be blown up to the sky by then.”

"You may have made a mistake."

Following the man's voice, a... twisted monster came out of the shadows.

From its appearance, some human features can be vaguely distinguished, but more and more places have been twisted into blue-black scales, releasing a moist atmosphere that Roy found very unfamiliar.

Now, the monster is talking like a human being, "The natural disaster six months ago was just the aftermath of the opening of the channel, and what we want to do is exactly the opposite. We want to open a channel by artificially creating a natural disaster." , the difficulty is naturally not at the same level."

"Ayin..."

Roy whispered the name this monster once had and couldn't help but take a step back.

"Don't come any closer. The way you are now...it's hard for me to believe what you say."

"It's meaningless caution. If I really want to hurt you, you should hide somewhere else instead of sharing the same room with a monster like me."

The monster said this, but it still stopped in cooperation and retreated into the shadows again, "But it is understandable that people lack trust in compatriots with similar appearances, let alone aliens whose looks are completely inconsistent with their aesthetics. "

"...Your words don't sound like they were said by an alien at all."

"So, it's just a different body, I'm still me. And this appearance is only temporary. The life form of this creature is far better than human beings. When I complete the transformation and completely master this body, I may not be able to change Return to the way I was before... if I can still remember what I look like."

"Stop talking, I don't want to become like this." Roy said with disgust.

Ayin, the former chief scientist of Ball Pharmaceuticals, Roy had heard of this guy before, but he had never seen him.

In the incident six months ago, this big shot, like Roy, became the only two people trapped in this world.

The difference is that Roy seems to have simply been forgotten, while Ayin being left here is his punishment. Ayin played an indispensable role in that accident, and without him getting involved, things would not have happened anyway. developed to that point.

Unlike Roy, this guy has no taboo at all about consuming substances from this world. The plants growing everywhere here have become his food source. Compared with the miserable Roy, Ayin seems to be living a relatively healthy life.

As the only two people still alive in this world, the two naturally came together and took care of each other.

After a period of research, Ayin believed that if enough energy could be detonated in the real world, it would be possible to break through a channel with the real world. It might also be feasible on their side, but because there was no precedent, Ayin could not affim.

That's why the previous incident happened. Roy accidentally contacted Monique and asked her to help collect enough pure source stones and then blast a passage to reality.

"Then let's continue the topic."

Returning to the shadows, Ayin said, "Considering that the energy of natural disasters is too dispersed, if a medium-sized natural disaster could open a channel, wouldn't the world have become riddled with holes long ago? At least like us. There won’t be too few people living here.”

But that was not the case. Although everything here looked dilapidated and decayed, Roy did not find any traces left by anyone else.

They seem to be the only outsiders in this world.

"Of course, if all the energy can be concentrated and exploded at one point, the energy required should be significantly reduced. We couldn't do this before, but it's different now."

Although the energy density of the purest source stone is very high, it is not so easy to detonate the pure source stone while limiting the energy to a small range.

However, because of the 'black stone' that suddenly fell here half a month ago, Ayin changed his previous plan significantly.

Chapter 79 Leave everything to fate

It was an ordinary day, and Roy and Ayin were doing their own things.

Roy packed up the necessary items for action and prepared to explore a slightly farther place this time to see if there was anything useful.

As before, Ayin was studying several special stones that were similar to the Source Stone but completely different from the Source Stone.

Because Ayin didn't waste the food he found, Roy just let him do whatever he wanted, and now he can indeed use Ayin's knowledge.

Then, they saw an abnormally huge whirlpool emerging in the sky. Something fell from the center of the whirlpool and landed in another neighborhood not far from their stronghold.

Such an abnormal phenomenon naturally attracted the attention of the two of them. Roy was extremely vigilant, and finally recovered a fist-sized black rock from the place where the thing fell.

Because he couldn't figure out what this thing was used for, and he couldn't bear to throw away this seemingly precious thing, Roy simply brought the stone back and gave it to Ayin to see what he could come up with. .

He's the chief scientist, so it shouldn't be difficult to figure out what this thing is, right?

Obviously, Roy, whose highest education level was only an elementary school degree, had misunderstood something, but as far as the results were concerned, Ayin had really researched something.

"This is a piece of biological tissue that still retains some activity inside." Ayin explained his discovery.

"Biological tissue? That's useless. It doesn't look edible anyway." Roy looked quite dismissive.

He slightly regretted that he wasted a day and came back with such a thing.

"This kind of organization seems to have the ability to assimilate..."

At that time, Roy didn't care about Ayin's words.

But the next day, Roy discovered some blue-black scales growing on Ayin's body.

After all, he was a grasshopper on the same rope. Roy also asked a few questions with concern, but Ayin said that he was fine at all and his condition was even surprisingly good, so Roy didn't care.

In the next few days, Ayin transformed under Roy's nose at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At first, there were only some strange scales growing on the more obvious parts of the body.

After Roy came back from a trip, his body began to emit an unpleasant fishy smell, and his figure seemed to have become a little stooped.

Another night passed, and Roy was shocked to find that Ayin had almost lost his human form and turned into a hideous monster.

Roy couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he thought that he had spent a whole night with this kind of monster. The most terrifying thing was that even if Ayin, the bastard, had turned into that ghost, he still acted as if nothing had happened after waking up in the morning. A very strange voice greeted him.

Roy couldn't help but ask Ayin how he got himself into this state.

He replied, "It's very simple. I just ate the thing you brought back."

"Are you crazy? Why are you eating that thing?" Roy also felt a little lucky. In this situation of lack of food, his first thought was whether the thing was edible.

If he eats it, he will probably look like this.

"Because I think it will be useful." Ayin gave his reason.

Sure enough, Roy really couldn't understand what this guy was thinking.

Then one day later, Ayin almost turned into some kind of mollusk and completely lost the ability to speak.

Roy didn't try to kill the monster, but the monster's self-healing speed was a bit exaggerated. With the weapons he had on hand, there was no way it could cause much damage. In desperation, he had no choice but to give up——

You can't just use the few Source Stones to see if you can blow this thing up, right?Roy doesn't want to go back to a primitive society without electricity, and he still wants to send a message to Monique.

Moreover, with the speed of change of this thing, there is no telling what it will look like in two days.

What happened next proved that Roy's guess was correct. After just a few hours, Ayin got rid of the mollusk state and initially recovered his language ability.

"Being forced to be a mollusk for a few hours...it was really a wonderful experience. What's even more incredible is that even though my life form has undergone such drastic changes, my personality, memory, and even my way of thinking have not changed at all. There is an extra strong desire to eat.”

"I can't understand...Does this kind of life really appear in nature? If this type of life really exists, why have we never heard of similar news? Has the information been blocked..."

Roy had no idea how to evaluate Ayin's actions, but he still retained his sanity, so there seemed to be no need to be so wary of him.

Anyway, Roy actually had nothing to do with him.

However, for the sake of his fragile heart, Roy also prohibited Ayin from coming within 20 meters of him, and Ayin agreed quite nonchalantly.
