Chapter 229 Final Chapter (End of the Book)(1/2)
A month later
Last winter, the grassland, which was on the main path of cold Arctic air southward, had snowfall exceeding the normal level in previous years, and the snow on the surface that was too heavy was melting slowly. This year, the spring of the grassland also came particularly late.
The clear lake water reflects the blue sky and white clouds. The lake shore has just sprouted, like a green carpet covering the earth swaying in the wind. This scene is refreshing and pleasant. It is not that there is no sign of cattle and sheep nearby. The scene in front of you is as beautiful as a pastoral scroll. Although the beautiful scenery is on the side, the audience must have the leisure to enjoy the scenery.
Wu Han, who came from afar, was running in this grassland that had just ushered in spring at a constant speed. He had to be alert to unknown threats at all times, and he would have no time to take care of the surrounding scenery for a while.
Considering that the erosion of the flood caused the flat grassland to become crisscrossing hills and the number of water and the terrain was not suitable for wheeled vehicles commonly used by humans, Wu Han's movement speed was not much slower than driving with his own legs.
Now, Wu Han is carrying a rocket jet backpack and heavy luggage. His bloated appearance makes him look like an old rich man who escapes. The size and weight of the rocket backpack are astonishing, and it is filled with bags of various utensils and supplies. The amount is real and can crush people to death, but these heavy burdens that ordinary people cannot bear are quite light for Wu Han.
Due to the physical mutation, Wu Han was able to run nearly 300 kilometers in one day. Although the vast grassland stretched for thousands of kilometers and was boundless, his movement speed quickly penetrated into the hinterland of the grassland that no human survivor had ever visited since this era.
"quack!"
After entering the prairie where monsters appear, Wu Han's vigilance has always been maintained on the standard of being a soldier. Not afraid of death does not mean that he likes to seek death. A long distance away, Wu Han heard the screams of the strange animals. He pulled out a disguise net from his chest like a conditioned reflex. Then he shook his wrists in the air and skillfully covered the entire net on himself. Wu Han then leaned in the grass and held his breath and concentrated. In just a blink of an eye, he had already merged with the lush grass and trees around him.
The camouflage net covered by Wu Han is said to have a high technological content. The grid processed through complex dyeing procedures can not only blend well with the natural background of the grassland area to form an excellent visual camouflage, but also the pre-added odor eliminator and synthetic fragrance that imitates the smell of green grass can basically ensure that the odor emitted by the human body can be blocked.
To put it bluntly, it was precisely because of the comprehensive material preparation in advance and uninterrupted drones every 24 hours a day, and the effective intelligence collection and sharing system that Wu Han could smoothly go deep into the hinterland of the grassland to find the answer he hoped to find. If he had only brute force, Wu Han would have been gnawed by monsters of all sizes and big and small, big and small monsters that could not defeat human power, and those guys with wide stomachs were the ones who really ate people and don't spit bones.
"Chicky chick..."
At this time, the situation before Wu Han was presented through the lush and lush grass stem gaps growing in front of him was a fantasy scene that could cause any person who was not mentally strong enough to collapse mentally.
Not far ahead is a prosperous place for emerging towns than villages. The strange creatures with a shape between birds and dinosaurs are erecting in groups of stones and simple houses covered with thatched roofs. Just looking at their leisurely posture, it seems like walking in their own courtyard. At the same time, many huge monsters are engaged in various labor under the command of such strange creatures, such as building some new houses.
It seems that these guys have never had any contact with humans in vain. From their newly built buildings, it is obvious that some appearance features similar to the settlements of the Principality of Changchun, such as the European-style garden being built on the street corner.
At this moment, just under Wu Han's eyelids, an alien city that humans have never entered is moving towards the beginning of civilization at an extraordinary speed.
After a long time, when Wu Han gently put down the telescope in his hand, it was not until this time that he realized that his clothes were soaked in cold sweat. Faced with a completely unknown strong enemy, this was not a problem that could be solved by a person's courage and strength, or wisdom. Wu Han was indeed afraid. The reality was also unafraid. When this strong competitor gradually developed in the future, will the human survivors who have lived for the rest of their lives still have a foothold in this land? In my heart, Wu Han could not find the answer to the problem, but the prospect was obviously not optimistic.
In front of Wu Han was a messy knot. Either find the rope to untie the knot, or cut it cleanly with one sword. He must make a decision as soon as possible wherever he goes. Judging from the current representation, it is no benefit to the human side to continue delaying time.
Thinking that his head started to hurt, Wu Han pounded the ground and said:
"Damn it, what the hell is going on?"
Muttered with resentment, Wu Han suddenly raised his head and suddenly realized that through the bustling street market in the non-human town ahead, a scene that seemed familiar to him appeared further away in the sky.
In the distant sky, a beam of white light wanders on the prairie. The mysterious white light is exactly the same as what Wu Han and Sun Meng saw in the vast snowy field in the past, but it is not the terrifying visual effect that is suspected to be the acceleration of time.
It was dusk until dusk. Wu Han took advantage of the monsters' dining out and made a big circle from the side to the area where the white light was active. It was not difficult to come here. The question was what to do after coming? After a mental battle, Wu Han finally plucked up the courage and tiptoed to the snow-clear white light, hesitated to reach out, trying to gently touch the light. Unexpectedly, as soon as his finger encountered the beam of light, the originally thin white light flashed suddenly, and instantly increased by countless times.
Immediately afterwards, the blazing light swallowed Wu Han into the silver-white glow. I felt a moment of dizziness, and Wu Han knew nothing. The last thought that flashed through his mind was that it was broken, and I was careless.
After a while, Wu Han slowly regained consciousness. When he realized that he was still alive, he immediately began to try to turn his head. He could not see any object where Wu Han saw, and the surrounding environment was as elusive as a dream. He looked around and saw that there was only endless whiteness, no sky and earth, and even the existence of time and space. All this, which was completely different from the real world, really made humans who were accustomed to down-to-earth, feel instinctively fearful.
Although he is strong, Wu Han's spirit is not so strong that he is not a human being. As long as he is a human being, he will feel scared, and of course he is no exception. After a long time, Wu Han's mind turned around and he said tremblingly:
"Where am I...is this?"
Before he finished speaking, it seemed that some unknown existence responded to Wu Han's question. In the originally white world, scenes suddenly began to flash, making Wu Han dazzled.
The initial single-cell life began to grow and take shape in the warm primitive ocean. On the land that has not yet cooled and stabilized, a large number of volcanoes are still erupting rampantly. The air is filled with various toxic and harmful components, comparable to the professional poison gas execution chamber. In the blue water reflecting the erupting volcano, a cell that has just swallowed chloroplasts inexplicably evolved into an algae that can synthesize oxygen. The far-reaching photosynthesis has first entered the stage of history.
The original Earth's atmosphere, which is covered with gas components such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen, water vapor, hydrogen sulfide, and ammonia, is affected by plants that begin to spread to land and gradually transitions to the atmospheric environment that humans are familiar with...
...As the Tyrannosaurus Rex opened its mouth, fighting against the Southern Giant Dragon and the corpse of a triceratopsaurus, a huge comet was getting bigger and bigger in the sky of the earth, and it became brighter and brighter.
A primitive man holding a gun and wrapped in some animal skins and thatch on his lower body stood on the top of a small hill. He had just had a full meal of venison, and now he looked up at the bright stars in the night sky, and a strong desire for knowledge emerged from his eyes. He wanted to know why these shiny things did not fall like thrown stones.
With the efforts of tens of thousands of workers and technicians, the Great Pyramid has grown little by little. Its snow-white limestone exterior wall reflects the sunlight, so bright that people dare not look at it.
The sky garden is beautiful, like a heavenly palace floating on the Mesopotamian plain, and green plants seem to grow directly on clouds.
Mongolian cavalry ignited one city after another, and countless people were killed. They shouted loudly, as if they wanted to conquer the whole world...
Shocking scenes flashed one after another, and the entire history of life development on Earth for billions of years seemed to be condensed in this unknown space. Although there are also many records of the situation of the Earth and other planets in the Moon Base, it is far less vivid than what Wu Han saw at this moment, as if everything is close to him.
“It’s very interesting!”
In such a world where reality is completely impossible to tell whether it is reality or illusory dream, the sudden sound of this huge sound suddenly sounded in Wu Han's ears. The sound was as deafening as the yellow clock, but it did not have the feeling of stinging the ears and eyes. It made people feel that it was not like a sound wave heard through the eardrum, but a certain illusion that was directly reflected in the mind constantly echoing.
It is not difficult to understand that Wu Han is trembling at such a fantasy situation. He tried hard to smooth his breathing rhythm, and he said tentatively:
"……Who are you?"
"It is difficult to understand my way of existence with your shallow wisdom. If you describe it in language that you little things can understand, I serve the Lord, and you can call me sen."
When he heard the answer from this unknown voice, Wu Han asked in shock:
"God? Are you God?"
The next moment, Wu Han felt that he heard cheerful laughter, but he could not conclude that it was really heard, or that it was an hallucination caused by pure tension. Then, the voice was as flat as water:
"No, sen is my exclusive name. God is the ancestors of you little things to call all the existences they cannot understand or irresistible, and those have nothing to do with me."
Wu Han suddenly realized a problem. The mysterious voice mentioned just now and the mysterious voice that refuses to admit that he has any connection with God is difficult to distinguish between the two through spoken language. Could it be...
The more powerful pressure some people face, the more calm they can remain. Wu Han also belongs to this type of person. After making up his mind, he pretended to be relaxed:
"Okay! Then can I call you Shin?"
"Yes! Poor little guy, are you here to find me? He has a very courageous behavior, but he is also very stupid. Don't you cherish your life?"
The answer from this mysterious voice allowed Wu Han to figure out two things in advance. First, it fully understands the content of his words. From this point of view, it does not obtain information through auditory channels. Secondly, this guy is very arrogant. In its mouth, Wu Han is either called a little thing or a little guy. This situation is very similar to the pet that humans call on him.
Although he was unhappy, when Wu Han thought that the guy he was dealing with was probably so powerful that he could crush him to death by just taking action, he could only endure it. What's more, the wisdom that humans are proud of is not enough to look at each other in front of the other party. Wu Han felt cold sweat on his back at this moment, and said with a wry smile:
"Yes, I want to know the truth..."
"The truth? Hahahaha... For bacteria that can only live for a second, can you let it understand the meaning of creating the universe?"
It is hard to say that Wu Han's words caused the ruthless mockery of the mysterious voice. It obviously did not think that humans who claim to be the spirit of all things have anything worth mentioning. Although Wu Han was dissatisfied with his race being dissatisfied with the same level as bacteria by this unknown existence, he was indeed as small as a grain of dust in front of the other party. Since he was in this situation, it was really funny to talk about personal dignity, and Wu Han would certainly not do the reckless act of being a mantis arm in a car.
After a moment of pause, Wu Han tried hard to tap the potential of his brain thinking, racked his brains to raise a more in-depth question, and said tentatively:
“I wonder if humans have been abandoned?”
Wu Han thought it would be difficult to get a positive answer, but unexpectedly, the voice definitely rejected Wu Han's uneasy speculation and said:
"Everything is determined by the results of natural development, and we will not interfere with the experimental process."
Sure enough, useful information has appeared again. The current crisis facing humans may be created by this mysterious voice and the so-called us behind it, but the threat of human beings' extinction is definitely not directly from these masters behind the scenes. This is not to say that they are so kind that they hope that the race of human beings will continue, but that human beings' life and death are not taken seriously by the other party at all, and they have no interest in interfering.
To be honest, Wu Han’s life is not as hard as this short ten minutes, and sweat appears on his forehead and said:
"What is your purpose?"
The voice asked calmly:
“What is the meaning of the existence of the universe?”
When asked by the other party, Wu Han had no choice but to stutter:
"I have no idea……"
The mysterious voice probably didn't think Wu Han should answer it, and it continued:
"When you figure out the meaning of the universe's existence, our purpose will be known."
If ordinary people are not full and have nothing to do, or are subject to some great mental stimulation, they will never think about why the universe exists for no reason. The birth, old age, sickness and death, joys and sorrows in life, the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, house, car, and money, and what kind of thing to mention is not more important than thinking about the meaning of the universe's existence?
So Wu Han was suddenly asked, and he murmured:
"The meaning of the existence of the universe?"
Even if he thought that his eyes were about to turn into a mosquito-shaped repellent, unfortunately Wu Han was still confused. This is not a fault for not working hard enough. He was really limited by his talent and his acquired knowledge and literacy were not very good. No wonder Wu Han couldn't think of any name. His advantage is his perseverance and hard work. This kind of brain teaser is similar to a brain teaser. In some aspects, it is more like a profound topic that philosophers rely on to make a living. It is really not an assessment project like Wu Han, which is semi-illiterate and confident and easy to pass.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, and Wu Han felt that he was idle anyway, so he tried to guess the answer and said:
"Survive?"
“Incorrect!”
The voice was not impatient, but it rejected Wu Han's guess without hesitation. He grabbed his scalp with distress, and Wu Han continued to tentatively say:
“Reproduction?”
“Incorrect!”
When Wu Han tried to hit the wall again, he suffered from his lack of brainpower and was complaining that his parents did not give him a smart brain. He suddenly had a flash of inspiration and blurted out and said:
"wisdom?"
After a brief silence, this mysterious voice sounded and said in extreme peace:
“…The answer is correct.”
Wu Han did not expect that he could get the right answer. Now that things are now, he is a little confused and said:
"The universe exists for wisdom? Then we exist for wisdom, and experiments are also for wisdom... What is the use of wisdom?"
As soon as he said that, Wu Han realized that he had been stupid again. As expected, the voice calmly and unchanged:
"You cannot understand the true meaning of exploring wisdom..."
"Okay! Even if we are stupid, the smart animals in the city outside now seem to be about to destroy us humans? This is always a big trouble you have caused!"
"Submissive to environmental changes and changing yourself to live, this is the shallow wisdom summarized by you little things. Do you need to ask me? Well, it's time for you to leave."
In fact, Wu Han wanted to work harder and try to find some useful information from the other party, but he couldn't help but feel confused.
To be continued...
