Chapter 199 The Dead
"What's wrong with you?" Zhang Weidong asked softly.
"ah?"
Xiao Jian was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed that his fist was clenched.
The "if" just now was so lethal that he couldn't control his emotions just by thinking about it.
The end of time has started the tide of evolution.
All creatures launched a desperate charge to gain the right to stand at the top of the pyramid.
And what about humans?
Can human beings really maintain their position in the craze of all things and stand back on the top of the pyramid?
Xiao Jian was a little unsure.
But he is confident.
After all, a long time ago, humans continued to fight their way out of such a cruel environment, and finally stood at the top of the food chain bit by bit.
Even if we are temporarily behind now, if we try again, we might be even faster.
After a while, the flame went out.
The huge pyramid, which was 20 stories high, gradually disintegrated into an ordinary mountain of rubble in the flames, and all those scalp-numbing human shadow puppets disappeared in the flames.
Something as light as mist floated out from the pyramid and slowly gathered on the dead branch in Xiao Jian's hand.
As the smoke-like thing was absorbed, another leaf bone, as green as if it contained dewdrops, emerged from the dead branch.
As more and more sacrifices are made, this small dead branch gradually becomes full of life. If this continues, it may soon turn into a small tree and come alive.
After putting away the [Withered Wooden Branches], Xiao Jian did not leave, but continued to stand on the edge of the fog, looking with everyone at the fog that was blown away by the breeze.
"Boom..."
The lightning and thunder started again.
Everyone else looked as if they were accustomed to it, but Xiao Jian was surprised - when he saw the huge windmill of the Dragon Skull Clan, although he also noticed the cracks caused by the spatial fluctuations, the scale was not the same as the one in front of him. Totally different.
"Why is this happening?" Xiao Jian turned his head and asked.
"We don't know yet... The preliminary speculation may be that it is related to violent space activities, but this is just speculation. More data must be collected before we can make a judgment." The researcher next to him explained to Xiao Jian.
"Oh..." Xiao Jian nodded, "But is this... okay? It won't cause any disaster, right?"
"This... we don't know either." The researcher spread his hands.
After all, it was the first time that the "electric fan" driven by sunlight appeared in the world, so no one knew whether the storm it caused would turn into a disaster.
"If you are worried, we can stop a few fans first, so that the fog's reaction will not be so intense." The researcher asked for instructions.
"Then it's better to be a little safer..." Xiao Jian said immediately.
Obviously, his thoughts are completely consistent with Zhang Weidong.
After adjustments by the researcher, only 7 fans were still working.
As the wind volume decreased, the heart-stopping lightning and thunder in the fog finally subsided, leaving only countless nearly transparent space cracks still raging outside the fog.
The first thing to bear the brunt was the huge pyramid wreckage.
Originally, it had been destroyed until there was only a stone mountain left, but under the constant whipping of space cracks, this hill was gradually disintegrating and collapsing...
It didn't take long for the originally magnificent pyramid to turn into fine gravel all over the ground.
"This space rift is really terrifying... I don't know what will happen if it hits people." Zhang Weidong said in a low voice.
Xiao Jian heard this and replied: "If ordinary people are involved, they will become minced meat in an instant."
"What about me?" Zhang Weidong asked curiously.
"Um...you probably won't be able to bear it for a few times." Xiao Jian replied honestly.
"To the gods, we are all just ordinary people." Zhang Jinyu made a face as she approached her grandfather.
"Well, actually if you say it, it might not be a big problem." Xiao Jian said suddenly.
"Ah? I... It's impossible, right? I'm not as strong as grandpa." Zhang Jinyu asked doubtfully.
"Having said that...but attributes are not the only criterion to measure a person's strength or weakness. It depends more on characteristics to support him."
Xiao Jian said, giving Zhang Jinyu access to the [Mist Travel] feature.
"You can feel it." Xiao Jian said.
"Eh? Is this... can this happen!?" Zhang Jinyu's face was filled with shock.
"When there is a chance in the future, I will fuse you with an [Anchor Stone], and then you can walk through the fog at will... You don't have to be afraid even if you encounter a rift in space."
The land resource cards in Xiao Jian's hand have long been used up, so he can only wait until later.
"oh……"
Zhang Jinyu nodded.
While everyone was chatting, something in the mist in the distance kept getting bigger and bigger...
Finally, a hill crashed up.
"Boom..."
The hill directly hit the sand dune formed by the pyramid, bringing up a gust of wind and sand.
The ground at the contact surface once again set off huge waves like water, which spread to all directions in an instant.
The ground shook as if there was an earthquake.
Everyone was somewhat unsteady on their feet, and the most embarrassed among them were the researchers who were in relatively poor physical condition.
This time, due to the sand dunes formed by the pyramids blocking the road, the small hills in the distance also kicked up a lot of sand and gravel, but after all, they were too far away from the fan and did not affect the operation of the fan at all.
However, just as Xiao Jian was carefully observing the hill, violent collisions were heard in the distance again...
"boom……"
This time, the sound of the collision was quieter... It wasn't that it wasn't strong enough, but it was farther away.
Xiao Jian's gaze extended to the edge of the fog with lightning and thunder, and then activated [Broken Disaster].
Suddenly, two flames burned in Xiao Jian's pupils... and his vision also penetrated the fog, and soon came to the back of the fog, where it collided with the hill - it was a swamp with a large number of deep forests!
The real muddy water surged onto the hill in an instant, and then gradually fell back down the mountain into the original swamp.
And it's not over yet!
"boom……"
"Boom boom..."
More and more fragments of the world continue to collide, and the vibrations caused by the collisions between the fragments are getting farther and farther.
"..." Xiao Jian silently counted the fragments of the world that collided one after another: 10, 20, 30...
Soon, even Xiao Jian forgot to count the chickens.
The remains of one world after another were pushed by nameless waves to the huge reef N7183. In the end, even the earthquake-like vibrations almost disappeared... One can only imagine how far it spread!
"I took a look just now. They are all small world fragments without people..." Xiao Jian turned his head and whispered to the researcher next to him.
"This is a subject we have never thought about." The researcher smiled bitterly. "Before this, we thought that our situation was very common... I thought that the vast majority of people in the world were still alive, but were unknown to us. The famous fog is just fragmented into different worlds.”
"Your guess is correct." Xiao Jian said.
"It's a pity that only the second half is correct..." The researcher still smiled bitterly and did not continue to talk about this topic.
After all, every fragment of the world that hits N7183 at this time means that all humans who once lived there have been wiped out.
How many fragments of the world have hit N7183 so far?
50?
100?
No, more…
Looking down from the sky, the original perfect circle of N7183 gradually turned into a deformed shape with a large bulge... and then slowly turned into a gourd shape!
Later, everyone was numb to the "earthquake" in the distance!
After all, no matter how many world fragments hit N7183, most of them are hidden in the fog, and the fan can only blow away so much fog, so there is no real sense for Zhang Weidong and others.
However, with the blessing of the [Destruction] characteristic, Xiao Jian can truly see how many fragments of the world are crashing into him in the distance!
Not to mention thousands, it’s almost enough! !
And every one of these fragments once had human beings!
This is because the fan only blows a small area with a horizontal width of less than 10 meters!
God knows how many of these extinct world fragments are surrounding N7183!
From this point of view, the probability of human beings surviving in the apocalypse is really too low...
Nearly a thousand world fragments like N7183 were completely destroyed, and the people on them died silently. Even up to this moment, we can only guess how many people died...
"The end of the world, this is the real end of the world..."
Xiao Jian sighed.
"What did you see?" Zhang Weidong was keenly aware that something was wrong with Xiao Jian's mood.
After hearing Zhang Weidong's question, Xiao Jian told everyone what he saw.
Although Xiao Jian did not give a conclusion, the two concepts of "world fragments" and "nearly a thousand" silenced everyone.
If you look at it from another angle, the fragments of the world that are constantly crashing up are corpses everywhere in another sense.
"Now I know how lucky we are to be alive..."
Wang Youfu, who had been standing nearby and racking his brains to get closer to Xiao Jian, no longer had any utilitarian thoughts at this time.
After all, those nearly a thousand fragments of the world are so cruel, so cruel that just thinking about them makes my spine shiver.
How many people are going to die...
And how many heroic deeds of epic proportions took place in these fragments of the world?
However, everything was buried silently, not even a few words left for future generations to pay tribute to.
"Boom...boom..."
The vibrations in the distance have gradually become as weak as a pile driver.
However, even such a weak vibration still seemed to hit everyone's heart, making everyone feel heavier and heavier.
"boom!"
"Crash..."
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking glass in the distance, followed by a large number of voices.
"ah--"
"What's going on here!?"
"earthquake!?"
"Oh my god, look...where is this! Why are those things appearing at the edge of the fog..."
"..."
