Chapter 1709
Binhai city a thousand years later?
Zhang Zian's brain couldn't react to this sentence for a long time.
To him, a year was a long time. He didn't know if he could get a wife in ten years. It was already a big victory to live to the 22nd century. What did a thousand years mean?
When his consciousness finally accepted reality, he almost peed his pants!
The only reason that could stop him from peeing his pants was that he kept telling himself that it was a dream.
"You ... You're not joking, are you? This is 1000 years later ... Could it be that mankind has gone extinct?" He asked bitterly.
It was no wonder he thought so. He stood at the top of the hidden Fog Mountain and looked around, but there was no sign of human activity. The huge Binhai city was like a Dead City, as cold as a grave.
Zhuang Xiaodie's smile disappeared,"this is not necessarily the case."
"Not necessarily ... What do you mean?" He had a glimmer of hope.
"This is just one of the futures I've deduced based on the current trend of human technology, national relations, social changes, group thinking, and other conditions," she said calmly."It doesn't necessarily mean that this is the future. After all, I don't know how to travel through time and space."
Zhang Zian was stunned again. He had mixed feelings in his heart, but he was more or less relieved. This was the future that she had predicted, not the real future. And listening to her, there were many possibilities for the future, and this was only one of them.
"Where did the humans go?" He asked tentatively.
"In different futures, humans will have different endings. In some future, humans would use nuclear wars to destroy themselves; In some future, humans would successfully leave earth and head for the stars; In some futures, humans will be destroyed ... But no matter which future it is, Binhai city's future will be like what you see. It's not just Binhai city, all the big cities in the world will be like this. A thousand years later, it's impossible for humans to still live in the primitive cities on the surface. Otherwise, I'm afraid that they've lived for a thousand years for nothing. " She replied with certainty.
I think you're scolding me, but I don't have any evidence.
"It's really interesting. I created a dream pocket dimension in the real world, and then sped up the flow of time in the pocket dimension without any interference. The real world will be like this a thousand years later ... As long as the initial conditions are slightly adjusted, the results of the evolution will also change, but the appearance of the city is basically the same a thousand years later." She recalled the process of her experiment in a leisurely and fascinated manner, and the expression on her face was like that of a scientist who was obsessed with exploring the nature of the world.
The only difference was that she used the entire earth as her experimental subject to observe the evolution of human society. It was similar to how humans observed what a nest of ants would look like after they reproduced for hundreds of generations.
The more Zhang Zian listened, the more speechless he became. If it wasn't for the fact that he was afraid of talking about her balls, he would have split her.
She squatted down, picked up a piece of broken brick and tile, and gently rubbed it. "Civilization is really fragile. Whether it's the steel ships all over the sea or the aviation network covering the world, they are all vulnerable in the face of time. Only stones and concrete can live for thousands of years without decay, just like the pyramids in Egypt."
Zhang Zian looked at Binhai city again. As she said, as long as he looked carefully, he would find that the whole city was only left with the outline of concrete, and the debris such as billboards, glass, neon lights, cars, garbage boxes, and so on had all turned into scrap metal with indistinguishable shape and attributes.
The wooden structure of the teahouse on the top of hidden Fog Mountain could not escape the erosion of time, and not even a single piece of wood was left.
"Let's go,"he said. She said.
"Where to?"
He thought that she was kind enough to let him leave the dream.
She gave him a reproachful look, as if blaming him for not being romantic."Where are you going? Shopping in Binhai city, of course. "
Zhang Zian was speechless.
If it was in reality, he would probably be punished by the heavens for rejecting the invitation of such a peerless beauty. However, the thing he was in the least mood for right now was shopping. Thinking about how the streets where he was born, grew up, lived, and lived had become ruins, this kind of feeling was really F * cking terrible.
Having said that, he didn't dare to offend her and could only try to ask,""We're going to Binhai city from here? Walking?"
No matter what, hidden Fog Mountain was located in the suburbs Binhai city. Although it wasn't too far from the city center, it was still impossible to reach the mountain.
Of course, if she didn't care about time, he didn't need to care about it either. A day in the dream world might be equivalent to a second in the real world.
She didn't explain much and took the first step. She actually walked directly to the edge of the cliff, one of her feet already in the air.
Even though he knew that it was a dream, Zhang Zian was still frightened, and his palms were sweating.
She did not fall from a high altitude like he had imagined, nor did she grow a pair of wings to fly across the void. However, a rainbow path seemed to have appeared under her feet, from the top of the mountain to the city. She stepped on the rainbow and slowly walked forward.
Zhang Zian was convinced in his heart. At least in terms of acting tough, she had already surpassed her master.
He mimicked her and stood at the edge of the cliff. He glanced at his feet and his fear of heights almost flared up. However, he had no choice. If he didn't want to be looked down upon by her, he could only brace himself and follow.
He stretched out a foot and tried to step on it. Stepping on the rainbow felt like stepping on a synthetic race track, firm, elastic, and not slippery.
Walking on the rainbow was really a magical experience. The earth extended under his feet, and because the rainbow was tilted down at a small angle, it was not strenuous to walk at all.
The wind was a little strong, and he felt that he could be blown down the rainbow at any time.
The shortest distance between two points was a straight line. It didn't take long for him to enter the traditional Binhai City area.
Most of the landmark buildings in the city were unrecognizable due to the dense trees and weeds, and there were some high-rise buildings that he had never seen before. The most obvious landmark nearby was the main teaching building of Binhai University. He still remembered the main teaching building clearly. After all, he had wandered inside for a long time in order to find Richard, but he had never observed it from the outside at such a close distance. He was afraid that no one was there.
The Rainbow Passage brushed past the teaching building, and most of the tiles on the building had peeled off. Even if there were some remaining, they had long lost their original luster due to the erosion of the wind and sand.
Walking in the sky above the familiar yet unfamiliar city, the further they went, the closer they were to the ground. The closer they got to the buildings, the clearer they became. It gave one a feeling of great changes.
After walking for a while, the rainbow was getting lower and lower, and Zhuang Xiaodie was the first to step on the ground.
"This is ..."
Even though everything around him was strange, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
"Zhonghua Road, the old address of the amazing fate pet shop." She said.
