Chapter 888 Dusk Dawn

The time now is 8:30 am in the world of ruins-of course, this time is calculated by conversion. On the planet, people are not used to the 24-hour system, but adults and sisters agree that 30 hours a day is simply It's too much headache, so we converted the time here to the earth standard time method.

Under normal circumstances, the day of the ruined world starts at six o'clock in the morning. Every morning, the timing center of the "Ayutthaya" broadcasts the standard time to the entire ruined world. Then the furnace maintenance workers will restart all fusion reactors over the planet. It takes 30 minutes for those reactors that have been operating at low power for one night to fully recover power, and at 6:30, the bright "sunlight" will spill over the earth, and the day of the ruined world begins.

But this is all normal.

Today, the world of ruins has not ushered in dawn-it is not very accurate to say that the sun in other places is normally activated, although they are also a few minutes slower. Strictly speaking, there should be only the northern hemisphere of this ruined planet under our feet. Did not usher in the dawn. Of course, the northern hemisphere here is also an artificially added concept for convenience. All the celestial bodies in this space have no running trajectory and stable magnetic field, which makes it difficult to divide them into the northwest and southeast. In order to facilitate the unified scouts to collect from these ruined planets We had to use the shallow "simple orientation calibration method", that is, throwing shoes. After throwing three pairs of shoes in a row, I think we should be in the northern hemisphere ...

Everything is still shrouded in a heavy night, and the sky is dim with a dim red halo. As mentioned before, it looks like a tungsten lamp with insufficient electricity. It looks far away. It is the same situation in the sky at the end of the sight. It is located in the northern hemisphere. All fusion reactors have not yet been activated, causing everything here to be shrouded in darkness and cold.

I looked around and found that except that I was just awake, Shallow was still snoring, and the big fox was still confused, the others actually woke up long ago, and Sandora stood a few meters away. On the metal pillar protruding from the ground, looking far into the distance, I don't know what I'm thinking about. My elder sister is still in a state of getting low blood pressure, squinting and grabbing for a comb.

"It's a ridiculous day for so many girls to sleep on the big bed ..."

Ms. Lin was holding my neck, and yin and yang breathed strangely around my ears, and my eye jumped backhand and knocked on her head, "Don't you think with a shallow way of thinking?"

The young lady made a cut and continued to look up at the sky.

There are some small bright spots around the still dim red aperture in the sky. These small bright spots are slowly moving along the edge of the former. After watching carefully, I find that there are some thin rays of light connected between them and the aperture. After watching for a long time, I touched Lin Xue's arm: "Girl, what's that?"

Lin Xue didn't look up at all. She didn't need to use my regular "eyes" to observe things outside the line of sight, but instead narrowed her eyes, and the white light flashed under her eyes.

"It's a spaceship that repairs fusion reactors. They're trying to reactivate the artificial sun. From six o'clock to now, they have tried no less than ten times. Of course, it seems that it hasn't succeeded once."

Lin Xue's tone could not hear the emotions, as if just stating the facts. I vaguely felt that something terrible had happened, but I didn't know how serious the situation was. The information link can easily check the current situation of the ruined world. Because PL-15 released countless probes yesterday, these probes monitor the three ruined planets and every corner of the entire Daxu ring zone. According to the information feedback from the probes, all of them are used today to assume the role of artificial sun. The fusion reactors in China only started to operate a few minutes after the "Great City" issued a start-up order, and the Ruin Star No. 1-the planet under our feet-all the reactors in the northern hemisphere have not yet been started.

"Are they broken at the same time?"

"This is one of the reasons," Lin Xue gathered her hair blown by the cold wind. "Those fusion reactors have been in disrepair for years. I can see that they have accumulated hundreds of thousands of years of decay. They should be at the end of the world. Since then, it has been urgently manufactured and is still used today ... but there should be other reasons for so many fusion reactors failing at the same time, but I am not an expert in nuclear engineering ... the only thing I can confirm is that this is not a good sign. "

"Not a good sign ..."

I repeated it in a low voice, and then suddenly remembered something, "I had a dream just now."

When Lin Xue heard it, his eyes widened suddenly: "Come, let this Prophet measure your dreams. You stretch out your hand first and show you the face ..."

I waited until my hand was stretched out before I reacted. Really, this girl was so crazy that she didn't give me a chance to respond!

I slapped Lin Xue's paw and said solemnly: "No kidding, I think that dream is unusual ..."

At the moment, I talked about my messy dreams just now, including seeing all the fusion reactors dim at night, a deep rumbling sound under the ground, the planet disintegrating instantly, and I fell ignorantly. Into the heart, these weird experiences started as a messy Hu Meng at first, but now, I think things are not so simple.

Lin Xue listened to my statement, and his eyes grew wider and bigger, and finally he couldn't help but interrupt him: "Wait! Wood, you said that you dreamed that the planet finally broke open, and then fell to the earth yourself?"

"Not exactly to the end," I thought for a while, "woke up just as I fell."

"Don't care about the details," Lin Xue waved his hand, then looked at me straightly, making everyone feel awkward. "Wood, I had the same dream, even the shape and location of the small basin. Not bad-you look behind you. "

Lin Xue stretched her fingers across the opposite side, I turned in the direction of her fingers, and a small basin exactly like my dream appeared in front of my eyes.

"You should never see this place. This is the first time we have come to this stand. Only here can we see this basin." Lin Xue whispered.

"Let's have the same dream?"

"It's not 'have the same dream'. It should be that you have the same dream as me. There is a difference in this: this dream belongs to me. You are a person who unexpectedly looks on," Lin Xue narrowed his eyes slightly, milky white The halo began to flow around the eyes, "It's not an ordinary illusion. You should have discovered that you can clearly recall every detail you saw at the time. Even after you wake up, there is nothing to recall what you saw then. Weird places, normal dreams are not like this. Normal dreams become incomplete after waking up, and even trained psychologists can hardly recall 100% of the dreams they have dreamed of, and remember the dreams in awake conditions. Scenes, people can easily find the absurdity of those scenes. Now you think about it, is there any absurd place in that dream now? "

I seriously thought back, and after working hard for half a minute, I finally found out that it was exactly the same as Lin Xue said. The dream was very clear and reasonable from beginning to end. Now when I recall the scene at the time, I also have a feeling of recalling memories instead of Hallucinations, uh, but if there is any absurdity, there should be-

"There is an abnormal place, which is particularly incredible," I nodded solemnly, causing Lin Xue to be surprised for a while, "the dream is shallow and there is no stepping quilt!"

"Oh, that's really incredible," Lin Xue nodded with deep surprise, then kicked over, "You can't be trusted! Miss Ben means that the dream is actually me His ability is at work. It is a passive prophecy. Then you, the wood, do n’t know how to break into Miss Ben ’s spiritual world, you bastard! ”

I quickly hurried to the side: "You should have said no before, I don't know if I have poor understanding?"

Lin Xue had nothing to say at the time: Facing my frankness in some aspects, she always had no choice.

"Well, that is to say, this world can really ... be finished?"

Seeing that the young lady was silent for a long time, I had to take the initiative to pull the topic back.

"One of the possibilities, but I don't know what caused the ruin to suddenly disintegrate," Lin Xue covered her forehead in distress, "that is, if there is no way to avoid it, it will happen in rare cases. We do not yet know what is maintaining this space or how its special structure is formed, but my intuition tells me that if the world collapses in the future, it must be some kind of 'core that maintains its current situation. 'There was a problem. Of course this shouldn't happen soon, and I can be sure of it. Now I'm more curious about how you saw my dream.'

Lin Xue said the last sentence, suddenly raised his head and stared directly at this side. At night, the pair of all-seeing pupils walking with white light looked like searchlights—I instantly thought of dog eyes Yi Liang.

"You turn off your skills first," I quickly waved in front of Lin Xue, "Strange eyes ... keke, maybe the two of us have the right spirit? And then when we sleep, we have the same spirit."

Lin Xue's face suddenly reddened slightly: "Is there a spirit in my heart? Can we reach such a level? Sleeping shallower closer to you, why don't you see what she's thinking at all?"

I thought about it, and suddenly thought it might be because there was really no stuff in my head when I was sleeping shallowly, or else the stuff was too weird and garbled after sharing.

"This makes sense ..." Lin Xue heard my explanation and nodded subtly. "I can't think of how her brain works normally. As for Sandora, the apostle of Schilling is just dreaming. You should not understand it." She happened to be thinking about the origin of the universe. You must think that it is more garbled than garbled. My sister, maybe it is a little far away from you, and the other is the naked sleeping fox, canine and primate brain. Bacheng is incompatible ... "

Excluded in this way, it seems that the only person here who can sync up with me in the previous situation is Lin Xue, but knowing this does n’t seem to make sense. We are really curious now why I actually experienced Lin Xue ’s dream ?

We discussed this topic for a few minutes. In the end, no one could tell why. At this time, the older sister suddenly greeted us from afar, so this topic ends here for the time being.

"Looking over there, it's the town's direction. It seems to be messed up."

The older sister pointed at the "condenser" town remotely and frowned.

The town one kilometer away is now brightly lit, and there are many searchlight-like beams on the edge of the town. The strengthened eyes can clearly see that many people are running under those lights. Obviously, the "sun" in the sky is so far Not yet ignited has attracted the attention of ordinary people, and now 80% of them have panic.

Lin Xue and her elder sister immediately packed up the campsite and prepared to go back to the town. At that time, she was still confused. She fell asleep on my body with a bright wing and ended up falling asleep, as if looking at people as if Like a melancholy girl looking at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, a soft blue scream came from not far away. The sound line sounded like a canine animal was stepping on its tail. It turned out that her tail hair was given by the zipper of the sleeping bag. It got stuck, and pulled a large one as soon as the zipper was pulled, and did not cry out the bad luck fox. When she came to me in a grinning dress, those nine tails were basically rolled. One of them is still bandaged, how do you think of Coke? If you are not afraid that Lan will really cry, I have a heart to take a picture and send it to Ziyong MMS ...

It took a few minutes to tidy Lan's tail. When we came to the "condenser" town, the townspeople were all concentrated on the square, and the white light cast by the lampposts around the square was scattered on these people's faces, so that everyone There was a sad color in his face. Five or six adults were gathering to talk about something at the corner of the outer edge of the square. Last night, Glick introduced us to the people in the town cheerfully. These people had an impression of us "guests from the big city". It was also very profound. They all looked surprised when they saw us coming from outside the town.

I noticed that these people were worried, although they knew what was going on, they asked, "What's going on?"

"Don't you know?" A dark-skinned uncle shook his head. "We thought that some people in Dacheng could know how this happened ... The fusion reactor didn't seem to start, and the sky was still dark. I heard that again Then the cold wind will blow up. If there is nothing else, it is best to hide in the house. It won't be long before the big city side will pick you up. "

We vaguely stated two sentences and walked towards the center of the square.

It seems that the situation is slightly better than expected. Although the residents are at a loss, they have not yet fallen into chaos. It may be that in this world, the sudden damage of huge machinery has become a routine thing, even the sun in the sky. Suddenly it can't be lightened and can be faded. Of course, this may be a bit taken for granted. Anyway, those fusion reactors are not talking about things, basically the ecological lifeline of this world is maintained on them. That thing If the child breaks down, these ordinary people's calmness does not know how much time they can persist.

Father Barnard was whispering with several other old people in the town. The residents circled around these respected old people and kept a distance of about five meters with them. They tried not to make a sound, but they were sad and confused. Emotions are still fermenting in the air.

Just like the previous adults, Father Barnard immediately showed his eager look when we walked in, trying to obtain information about the fusion furnace from the "people from the big city", of course, except for those reactors that may occur We have nothing to say except the failure.

"I have never encountered such a disturbing thing in my life," Father Barnard wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. "I'm not saying that I haven't seen the fusion reactor broken. I also encountered it when I was very young. I ’ve been to the fusion reactor and it did n’t light up in time, but only one fusion reactor failed to light up at that time, and it only delayed the day by less than an hour ... But this time it seems that the situation is much more serious, as is the distant sky There are more than one black, broken fusion reactor, and it is now approaching noon ... "

"Don't be nervous, it will be repaired. It is just a coincidence that things are broken together. We have the exact news that Ayutthaya has sent spaceships to activate those fusion reactors." The elder sister comforted Father Barnard with a calm voice, and the voice was enough to make People nearby heard that the atmosphere around them immediately eased a lot, and it seemed that the words of "big men from the big city" were more convincing.

At this time, there was a little commotion in the crowd. Glick's thin figure crawled up and down from the feet of adults. When he saw us, he cried in surprise: "Wow! It turns out you are still there! I thought you were going back. "

"Glick, quiet." Father Barnard hurriedly reprimanded, and then his expression eased, "Go home to accompany the drops of water. Today the sun will light up a little later, the lights in the town are not enough, and the children come out and run around. It ’s easy to go out of danger ~ www.readwn.com ~ Glick still listens to the old man. Hearing this arrangement, he just made a face at us and turned his head to leave, but at this moment, the crowd suddenly came The greater turmoil stopped him.

"Look! The reactor is on!"

Someone looked at the sky and made a surprise sound.

I looked up and saw that the dark red ring hanging a little west of the center of the dark night was slowly getting brighter, the dark red color gradually turned bright red, and then turned bright yellow, around the halo. Those small bright spots are scattered away like a frightened school of fish, and in the center of the halo, a bright white dot is rapidly expanding, instantly covering the dim yellow halo around. The crowd was silent for a while, followed by chaotic cheers, but one step faster than these cheers was Lin Xue's cry: "Close your eyes!"

With a response time of only two or three seconds, the small white dots in the sky swell into a white light sphere that is three times larger than the normal artificial sun, and then the glare of white light covers the entire sky.

The fusion furnace exploded.
