Chapter 48

Chu Minghao had many things he couldn't tell the three, just as Wu Pifu couldn't tell Amada and Xu Shilan what the "Weekend" was.

It involved many secrets of the Dream World and the root cause of all these changes. Unless one experienced it oneself, one couldn't speak to others. Otherwise, not only would one be in trouble, but the listeners would also be in big trouble.

And even if one experienced it personally, if one's strength, character, and will were insufficient, one would still die, deform, be polluted, or even disappear.

So Chu Minghao could only explain one thing simply.

As there are fewer and fewer living people on Gaia, all remaining survivors will be in increasing danger when facing the "Weekend". According to Chu Minghao, there are several critical points. When the next critical point is reached, the "Weekend" time will become 48 hours, or 72 hours, and it will definitely not return in 24 hours.

With the continuous breakthrough of critical points, the time of the "Weekend" will become longer and longer, and at the same time, the truth will gradually appear in the deep areas, eventually breaking through the scope of human understanding and going into indescribable confusion and chaos.

Wu Pifu thought of what he saw in the last "Weekend". The outermost reality was a meat processing plant, surrounded by employees. But the "truth" in the deeper layer was that these employees were all monsters, and the livestock being processed were all humans. If one went further into the "truth", then these monsters were all kinds of cyberpunk robots, and the processing plant had also become some kind of ultra-high-tech mechanical base. And this was not the final "truth".

"For some reason, I can only appear on Gaia for less than 30 minutes every 30 days or so. And during these 30 minutes, I try my best not to use extraordinary powers, otherwise, the time will be quickly shortened, and it's possible that I can only appear for a few seconds. So I can't help you liberate Gaia in the real world. All I can do is help all of you maintenance staff in the Dream World."

Chu Minghao said frankly.

Xu Shilan was still stunned, seemingly thinking about the afterlife world. Amada was not good at conversation and thinking, so Wu Pifu could only ask, "Then why appear now? As far as I know, the changes in the Dream World have been going on for at least a hundred years, maybe even longer. Why didn't you appear before?"

Chu Minghao stretched out a finger and flicked it, "First, I have only been awake for one year and three months. Second, I couldn't track you in the Dream World at first. Third, I was hunted by the remnants of the two major forces, the Thirteen Singularity Group and the Human Revolutionary Alliance. It was only during the last 'Weekend' that I counter-killed the two teams tracking me and finally had time to spare. Fourth, I have had the magic mirror for less than a month. Fifth..."

"There's a fifth?"

Wu Pifu and Amada spoke at the same time.

Chu Minghao seemed to like the straightforwardness of Wu Pifu and Amada. He laughed, "Yes, there must be a fifth... I also learned many 'truths' in the last two months, including the truth of the main brain, the truth of the changes in the Dream World, and the truth of our human future."

Wu Pifu was silent for a moment and suddenly asked, "Which layer of truth?"

Chu Minghao was slightly stunned. He looked at Wu Pifu carefully and said, "Yes, you saw my sword light just now, right? Your strength is really good, and in terms of inspiration, you have a talent for 'truth'... If I have to say it, I saw the truth of the baseline reality 0.3 layer. I am still powerless for deeper truths, but just the truth of the baseline reality 0.3 has already let me know many things."

Wu Pifu calculated silently in his heart. According to what he saw in the meat processing plant during the "Weekend", the "employees" were considered baseline reality 0.9, the monsters were 0.8, the machines were 0.7, and he couldn't see the ones behind. If calculated this way, this Chu Minghao... is terrifying!

Wu Pifu tidied up his mood and asked in a deep voice, "What do you need us to do?"

Chu Minghao said, "Stay alive. Just try to survive. This one goal is enough."

Before Wu Pifu could speak, Amada shook his head, "You can't be awesome on Gaia. Just in the Dream World, how many people can you save? The whole Gaia is already a mess. I don't know about other areas, but in our Z District 6123 sub-district, there is currently one sleep chamber, one maintenance station, and one medical station. Other areas are all in isolation. This was opened by Wu Pifu at the cost of his life. Most other areas are now silent. Do you know this?"

"I know."

Chu Minghao lowered his head slightly, his voice slightly hoarse, "I am very sorry, but I hope you can persist. Persist in living, even if it's just for yourselves. I can only try my best to provide you with some help in this Dream World, but I will recover as soon as possible and return to Gaia as soon as possible. Before that... please try your best to live."

Amada wanted to say something else, but Wu Pifu stopped him and looked at Chu Minghao, "What kind of help can you provide us?"

Chu Minghao immediately said, "First, help you set up at least a Level 2 shelter in this world. Second, if you have any clearly targeted enemies, grotesqueries, or nightmares in this world, I can help you clean them all up. Third, I will also tell you some information about the Dream World that can be said... I'm sorry, I can only do this for now."

Wu Pifu and Amada looked at each other, and then the two looked at Xu Shilan. Xu Shilan was irritable at this time. She waved her hand and said, "Listen to him. This guy doesn't judge people very accurately, but he has basically never been wrong at other times. And although this guy looks unreliable, he is an honest person..."

Wu Pifu nodded and said, "I already have a Level 2 event-type shelter in this world. Neither of them has one, so just set up shelters for them."

Chu Minghao looked at Wu Pifu twice more and said with a smile, "Very powerful. You have already set up a Level 2 shelter in the 0.7 baseline reality Dream World." Wu Pifu said indifferently, "My shelter was obtained purely by luck. What about you? With your strength, I'm afraid you have already reached 0.4 or even 0.3, right?"

Chu Minghao said sternly, "No, although I have three shelters, the strongest shelter is a Level 5 shelter in the 0.7 baseline reality Dream World. I haven't set up shelters at deeper levels."

Wu Pifu and Amada were both a little unbelieving. On the contrary, Xu Shilan had an expression of "as expected".

Wu Pifu immediately said, "Impossible. You patted the sword box, and the world stopped. This kind of ability can already be called a mythological divine power. I don't believe the 0.7 baseline reality Dream World can do this!"

Chu Minghao suddenly realized, "You mean that? That is a set of techniques from the 0.7 baseline reality, the Sword Condensation Technique. When practiced to the peak Saint Manifestation level, one can release a sword, leaving a sword light that can last for about 0.03 seconds, which the retina of ordinary people can also see."

"Unbelievable!"

Wu Pifu said directly, "Come on, I'm not blind. That was a brilliant sword light like a star, okay!? And the world stopped. You tell me that's the Sword Condensation Technique of the 0.7 baseline reality world??"

Chu Minghao patted the sword box sincerely and said, "This sword box is also a fantasy object. Its effect is to be able to stop and preserve various energies, Taoist methods, and extraordinary powers of monster arts within it. When I practice sword techniques on weekdays, I put the sword light of the Sword Condensation Technique into it. Over time, there are hundreds of thousands of sword lights. As for the effect of the world stopping, it is..."

"Super-brain space-time, right?" Xu Shilan suddenly said from the side.

Chu Minghao smiled and didn't speak. Xu Shilan turned to Wu Pifu and said, "This is a unique ability he possesses, called Super-brain Space-time. Didn't I mention it before? During the Fourth World War of humanity, three superhumans appeared. They possessed super abilities called super-brains, which were identified by the scientific community at the time as the next evolutionary feature of humanity. So these three people were also called new humans. They could experience a sense of time of three to five seconds for ordinary people in an instant, about one picosecond. Although their bodies were still in a near-static state like ordinary people at this time, their thoughts could operate. Therefore, scientists built super-brain auxiliary devices for them, allowing them to control weapons with their thoughts."

"And in the super-brain state, their thought control ability is completely different from ordinary people. They can be like supercomputers, dividing their thoughts into thousands, simultaneously controlling tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of thought threads!"

!

Chu Minghao took over the topic and said, "Exactly. Although my super-brain auxiliary device was destroyed after the Fourth War, my super-brain space-time ability is innate. And the sword light of this Sword Condensation Technique can be controlled and influenced by my thoughts. It seems that the sword light only lasts for about 0.3 seconds, but for me, it is a very long period of time. I can control it to take someone's head from a hundred miles away, and I can also perform various drawing, shaping, lifting, flying, and protective shield abilities. This is the truth you saw in that instant... I think, besides your strong inspiration, you might also have the potential for super-brain space-time."

Wu Pifu and Amada hadn't reacted yet, but Xu Shilan's reaction was unusually shocking. She suddenly propped up her body and stared at Chu Minghao, asking seriously, "Is it really possible that he has super-brain ability!?"

Chu Minghao said seriously, "You know, I never joke about these things. If it were just strong perception or strong inspiration, at most it would be detecting abnormalities, but it would be impossible to see my sword light in that instant when the world seemed to be static. This is a certain passive expression of super-brain ability, which is the mutual attraction between new humans as you call it."

Xu Shilan bit her lower lip and was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "It's a pity it's only potential. Unlike you and 'him', it's not naturally triggered. To trigger it, one needs to go to the main control room of the main brain and simulate the super-brain space-time feeling through the main brain. Only then can it be completely triggered..."

Chu Minghao smiled and said, "That's why we need to live well. When I can return to Gaia, I will naturally help Brother Wu trigger the super-brain space-time ability. I have the control authority of the main brain."

Wu Pifu didn't care about these at all. He asked again, "Speaking of which, Xu Shilan, you mentioned before that three people have this ability. One is him, and another... is probably a high-level official of the Human Revolutionary Alliance? The 'him' you keep mentioning, what about the third person? A person with such a powerful ability can't be without a name, right?"

Xu Shilan lowered her head and didn't say a word. Chu Minghao sighed, looked at Xu Shilan for a few seconds, and then said to Wu Pifu, "The third person... is Miss Xu's brother, a recessive super-brain ability user. If you also have super-brain ability, then it's the same nature as yours."

Wu Pifu didn't ask about super-brain ability anymore. Although he was a straight man of steel, he wasn't a fool. He couldn't sprinkle salt on Xu Shilan's wounds.

The whole dining table was silent for a few seconds, with only the sound of Amada eating and drinking. Wu Pifu then asked again, "Well, don't talk about this. You just mentioned information, right? Then I do have some information I want to ask."

Chu Minghao naturally nodded and said frankly, "Ask whatever you want. As long as it doesn't involve harmful pollution, I know everything."

"Well, the first question."

"Why is it called a shelter? This shelter..."

"What exactly does it shelter?"
