Chapter 42: Dream of the Universe

Kill the highest ruler of a country with a population of hundreds of millions and a vast territory...

And it's not a sneak attack with firearms while she is parading, but killing into the Forbidden City guarded by heavy troops. This is almost impossible.

"This is basically impossible."

Xu Shilan and Amadai said at the same time.

Amadai said: "You said you became stronger after experiencing the 'Weekend', at least more than double stronger than before, that's impossible. I ask you, how big is the difference between you and the Hua Jin Grandmaster of that world?"

Wu Pifu thought for a while and said: "If I enter the controllable possession state, I should be able to fight fifty-fifty. After all, I haven't fought, and I don't know the outcome until I fight."

Amadai roared low: "You also said it yourself, you used the controllable possession state twice in the 'Weekend', and your mental negative backlash rate increased by one percent, right? The more you use it, the faster you die!"

Wu Pifu shook his head slightly. At this time, Xu Shilan also said: "Even if you use the controllable possession state and can rival a Hua Jin Grandmaster, can you fight two alone? Can you rival a thousand soldiers alone? Can you collide with the line-infantry soldiers who have lined up in formation with your body? Can you resist cannons with your body?"

Wu Pifu shook his head frankly: "Can't do it."

Xu Shilan spread her hands and said: "Then why do you go to kill the highest ruler of the Qing Dynasty?"

Wu Pifu said: "Because she will run over and let me kill her."

Amadai and Xu Shilan were stunned again. Wu Pifu said: "Because it is a baseline reality 0.9 world, as long as I don't interfere with various historical trends on a large scale, in fact, I can't interfere with historical trends in such a short time. Then the highest ruler of the Qing Dynasty will come to the vicinity of the Peace Hotel four months later, and she will come in a posture of fleeing. I don't know about her entourage, but there shouldn't be more than a thousand, and there are many palace maids and eunuchs. That time is the best time to kill her!"

Amadai and Xu Shilan fell into deep thought again. Amadai said while thinking: "If there is a four-month buffer period, then I should be able to manufacture a simplified version of Gauss weapons. Long-range sniping should be doable."

Xu Shilan also said: "Or manufacture some super-high-power explosives. If there are radioactive elements, I can also help manufacture some nuclear-like weapons. If used for ambush, a team of about a thousand fleeing people should be able to handle it."

Wu Pifu had black lines all over his forehead. He looked at the two teammates for a long time, and then shook his head.

What kind of people are they? No wonder they are maintenance personnel, consumables, pure super terrorists!

Uh, I am also a maintenance personnel, a consumable... then it's fine.

Wu Pifu said: "Can consider, anyway, there are about four months left, we will plan slowly."

Both nodded. Amadai asked: "Then do you plan to return to the Peace Hotel dream world next? Now?"

Wu Pifu thought for a while and said: "The time I agreed with Lin Heier is tomorrow. I am also extremely tired today. I will sleep in this Gaia, rest well, and then go to the Peace Hotel dream world tomorrow. Then stay there for seven days, complete this thirty-day seven-day garrison task, and then... I guess I must go to the Buddha Mud Yaksha dream world of the Song Dynasty. You..."

Amadai laughed and patted his chest: "Isn't that together? After all, without you as the main force, even if the two of us go to the baseline reality 0.9 world, it is dangerous, it is better to mix with you."

Xu Shilan also nodded with a smile.

Wu Pifu felt a heat in his heart, lowered his head slightly and said: "That's fine... go to the Peace Hotel dream world first, then turn to the Buddha Mud Yaksha dream world of the Song Dynasty, complete the thirty-day garrison task of the Buddha Mud Yaksha dream world, and then... I will take you to establish your shelters!"

The three of them relaxed at this time.

Although Amadai and Xu Shilan were in danger of life and death, one was a veteran of the third war, and life and death were not enough to describe it, and the other didn't know what experience she had, but from her saying that she took revenge for her younger brother and was published by the Main Brain for so many terrorist crimes, I think she is also a person who doesn't want to die.

At this time, although the three were not completely safe, and even the food problem had not been solved, at least there was a medical base and more than two thousand six hundred carbon-based nano units. At least in terms of life-saving, they didn't have to worry about it in the short term, and the road always had to be walked step by step. The three of them were a little relaxed at this time.

Wu Pifu distributed the remaining steamed buns to the other two. They each ate steamed buns, drank some water, and then randomly made three nests with sundries and cloth in the maintenance base, each lying down, chatting for a while, and Amadai yawned first.

Xu Shilan suddenly said at this time: "Do you say, could it be that this Gaia is actually a virtual scene in the dream network?"

Amadai opened his eyes from the squinting state, and Wu Pifu was the same. After a while, Wu Pifu shook his head: "Brain in a vat, someone proposed it in the 20th century. The key is that we can't verify it, right?"

Xu Shilan said with a wry smile: "Yes, we can't verify it..."

Amadai suddenly asked: "If this is really a virtual reality, a virtual scene of the dream network, what is the reason for the Human Unified Government to do this? There must be a reason."

Xu Shilan said while lying on her back and reaching up: "A social experiment? A simulation of the human mental limit? Or an exploration of the afterlife? Or something else? You may not know, but I know too well, the thirteen singularity technology groups, they can do this kind of thing, and although the Human Unified Government is not completely controlled by the thirteen singularity technology groups, these thirteen groups also occupy a large share of it. Those completely insane experiments, they did a lot..."

Wu Pifu didn't speak, because those online novels, those science fiction novels, those comics and movies in his memory, described many insane future groups. Although these were literary works, art comes from reality, and reality is often more exaggerated. He didn't doubt what Xu Shilan said.

Amadai was really puzzled. He was born and grew up in the middle and late period of the third war, a period when humans united to fight against biochemical beasts. He couldn't understand how such things were born. He thought for a while and said: "I have always heard you say thirteen singularity technology groups. I know what singularity technology is, that is, technology beyond imagination and beyond theoretical limits. Then what kind of insane experiments have these thirteen singularity technology groups done?"

Xu Shilan smiled, the smile was even a bit sinister and terrifying. She said in a tone that made Wu Pifu and Amadai feel a little creepy: "I won't say much about others, just say one experiment I witnessed, or even half-participated in... Afterlife return experiment."

"Afterlife... return?" Wu Pifu and Amadai repeated this name.

Xu Shilan continued to use this tone: "It is not a transformation or transfer of consciousness, let alone soul leaving the body, but a true gray annihilation, soul flying and soul scattering, a complete and absolute extinction, an absolute annihilation at the quantum level, and then, relying on an extremely terrible, extremely terrifying non-Taoist means, sending tens of millions of lives into the afterlife in this absolute annihilation way, and then using their clones, simulated personalities, and simulated consciousness to try to achieve a kind of quantum entanglement-like influence to confirm the information of the afterlife..."

Xu Shilan stopped talking, and the two men didn't speak. After a long time, Wu Pifu asked: "Did it succeed?"

"I don't know."

Xu Shilan shook her head: "This experiment was expected to last for three hundred years, but when it was halfway through, the fourth war broke out, and I was removed from the list of insiders of the experiment. After that, I began to take revenge for my younger brother."

Only then did Wu Pifu and Amadai truly know the madness of these thirteen singularity technology groups, and also knew why the fourth war broke out.

Wu Pifu asked: "So, is the Human Revolution Alliance righteous?"

Xu Shilan laughed mockingly: "If it is righteous, then how did the Earth disappear? How did the solar system become a source of chaos, and even we had to carry out this interstellar long journey? It's just half a catty with the Human Unified Government."

The three were silent. Amadai suddenly asked: "So... are we really in the dream network now? Are we becoming experimental subjects?"

Xu Shilan shook her head and didn't speak.

Wu Pifu said decisively: "I don't know, but I won't try. My parents froze me and sent me to the future, not to let me struggle in this philosophical field of whether it is real or not, and then test it with my own life, but to hope that I survive. Living is hope, so I won't think about whether reality is illusory, nor will I think about how to prove whether this place is true or false. I only know..."

"If you are hungry, you must eat, if you are tired, you must sleep, if you are an enemy, you must fight, if you are a partner, you must protect... it's that simple!"

Amadai and Xu Shilan listened quietly, and neither spoke.

I don't know how long it passed, Amadai's snoring came, he actually fell asleep.

Wu Pifu was also preparing to sleep. At this time, Xu Shilan suddenly said: "It's really good, living so purely..."

Wu Pifu was silent for a while and said: "Sleep, we will enter the Peace Hotel dream world tomorrow."

After another minute or two, Xu Shilan suddenly said softly: "Perhaps it is not that we are in a virtual reality, nor is it that the remnants of the thirteen singularity technology companies are doing some large-scale social experiment, here..."

"Perhaps we are experiencing the dream of the universe."

Dream of the universe... is it?

Wu Pifu gradually entered the dreamland.

Xu Rongyu was posing under Lin Heier's guidance. Although he was limping now, he was trying to straighten his back and cherish this rare opportunity.

Suddenly, a flash appeared in front of Xu Rongyu and Lin Heier. Wu Pifu, Amadai, Xu Shilan, and a bird appeared in front of them, coming out of thin air.

Lin Heier and Xu Rongyu were stunned for a moment, and then smiles appeared on their faces.

Wu Pifu looked at the two, and then at the ruins of the righteous village that had been cleaned up. He clasped his fists solemnly and said: "The two are indeed trustworthy people. Today is the third day... see you again!"

Lin Heier and Xu Rongyu looked at each other. Lin Heier naturally clasped her fists in response, and Xu Rongyu immediately clasped his fists respectfully to Wu Pifu.

"See you again!"

The sky was just noon, the sun was bright, and everyone had a sincere smile on their faces.
