Chapter 324

An Era Like a Fish in Water

This idea appeared in Chen Ling's mind, then lingered and wouldn't leave. He finally realized what this USB Drive in his hand represented...

This represented, he possessed the qualification to investigate the origin of the "Great Cataclysm".

"A'Ling!! A'Ling!!!"

Right when Chen Ling was pondering, an agitated voice suddenly sounded from the distance. A woman rushed downstairs, her whole face covered in tear stains shouting loudly.

"Mom saw you... Mom just now saw you!!"

"Those workers moving flower wreaths, also said they saw you downstairs! Mom knows you came back before!"

"Whether soul is fine, ghost is fine... you come back again to speak some words with Mom okay? Do you know or not, how me and your dad endured over this day..."

"It's Mom letting you down... Mom forced you too tightly. Mom shouldn't be that anxious to let you go to society to experience... Your death is Mom's fault. Mom knows her mistake..."

The woman cried heart-tearing and lung-splitting. Her thoroughly red eyes had already cried dry. Her whole person powerlessly sat down on the ground, using her hand one time after another time patting the ground, like venting the remorse and pain in her heart.

The first floor entrance guard was opened. A group of relatives followed out, one after another supporting her up from the ground.

"Aiyo, Cai Yun ah... what nonsense are you saying!"

"Yeah... the child passed away by accident, how could it be your fault... Alright alright, quickly get up, don't cry."

"Just now might be the child returning soul to come over looking at you guys for a glance, concluding a matter of the heart. Right now has already left la... No matter how you cry, he also cannot come back..."

"Cai Yun ah... let's let A'Ling properly rest in peace, okay?"

Chen Ling in the corner looked at this scene from afar, his gaze incomparably complex... One of his hands lightly placed on his chest, like a silent sculpture.

Even if already lacking a heart, even if the twisted Divine Path suppressed his emotions. But he at this moment could still feel, the sorrow and reluctance surging out from the depths of his soul, like needle pricking generally stimulating him.

His empty without a single thing chest, was aching.

"...As of 5:45 PM, the military has already blockaded the surroundings of Shennongjia. The Research Team led by the astrophysicist, is estimated to arrive within five hours..."

"...This station's reporters will continue to report for you."

The sound of the news echoed behind Chen Ling. He knew his own time wasn't much anymore. After silencing for a moment, his fingertips lightly tore at his chin, straightly walking towards the unit entrance.

Perhaps because just now Cai Yun's voice was too loud, this movement had already attracted several people to surround and watch. They looked at the woman sitting down at the unit entrance, and the numerous flower wreaths behind her, pity emerging in their eyes... But even more people, actually only looked for a glance from afar, then hurriedly dodged away, seemingly deeply afraid the bad luck of dead people would taint onto their own bodies.

The relatives supported Cai Yun, difficultly moving up from the ground. Before waiting for her to stand firm her figure, beneath her feet staggered then fell forward.

Right when the crowd cried out in alarm, a pair of palms steadily supported her figure.

Cai Yun blanked for a moment, raising her head looking over. That was a young man wearing a brown overcoat, wearing half-rim glasses. The silver glasses chain shone brightly under the sunlight.

He looked at herself, asking with concern:

"How is it? Are you okay?"

"...Okay." Cai Yun stood well with pale lips. Her mouth corners squeezed out a smear of smile, "Thank you ah... young man."

"No need to thank." The young man slightly smiled. He glanced at the flower wreaths at the unit entrance, "You also don't be too sad. Since he came back to look before, then explains he is thinking of you guys... Being able to peacefully leave, is also a good thing, isn't it?"

Cai Yun blankly looked at him. Not knowing why, felt this young man in front of her eyes had a kind of inexplicable sense of affinity.

"Young man... you, aren't a person from nearby here right?"

"No, I returned from a distant place." The young man paused,

"Perhaps one day, your son will also return from a distant place... When that time comes, everything will start anew."

A smear of doubt flashed across Cai Yun's face. Before waiting for her to ask anything again, that young man then loosened her hand, smiled, turning around leaving... The brown overcoat alone left the neighborhood entrance, straightly advancing forward...

He vanished into the heavy traffic.

Chen Ling eventually still didn't acknowledge her. It wasn't only because time wasn't enough. More importantly, was he clearly knew everything here was only a Save Point.

The him at this moment, was already not the tender urban youth who just Transmigrated to the Aurora Domain. His rationality told him, before truly completing "reboot", everything was completely meaningless... He was willing to gamble everything, only for the sake of returning home in the real world.

After Chen Ling left the neighborhood, then straightly walked towards the nearest subway station.

From this city going to Shennongjia, needed a plane transferring to a high-speed rail. The specific time Chen Ling wasn't too clear. However five or six hours' time should be considerably tight. He must immediately set out.

Taking a familiar path walking to the station entrance, passing through security check. Chen Ling suddenly stopped his footsteps in front of the station entry gate... He realized a serious problem.

Perhaps staying in the Aurora Domain for a long time, Chen Ling had already forgotten taking the subway costs money. Right now on his body not only was he Destitute, moreover he didn't even have a mobile phone. Let alone taking a plane or high-speed rail, even the subway station couldn't be entered!

Now go buy one? But he had no money ah... directly stealing from a passerby's hands? Although knowing this is a Timeline Save File, but if there were other choices, Chen Ling still truly didn't want to do this kind of thing.

After brief pondering, Chen Ling landed his gaze on the ticket inspection gate.

Along with pedestrian after pedestrian holding mobile phone QR codes, or subway Transit Cards, sweeping once on the gate's induction zone, then smoothly passing through the gate. In Chen Ling's mind instantly emerged part of the theoretical knowledge regarding electromagnetic induction. His eyes slightly narrowed up.

He straightly walked to a gate in the corner, probing-like using his hand, lightly patting once on the induction zone.

Pa——!

The next moment, the entire subway station all sank into pitch-black.

Not only the subway station. The surrounding few neighborhood residential houses, also suddenly had power cuts. Chen Ling hearing the exclamations transmitting from everywhere in the subway station, then knew it was a bad matter.

It was still his first time using this skill. Under the situation of control not being precise enough, seemingly somewhat used excessive force... In the darkness, Chen Ling again patted the gate once.

"Please pass through."

A loud voice sounded from inside the gate. A conspicuous green arrow jumped out from the screen by Chen Ling's hand. Inside the pitch-black subway station, this only lit up screen light was incomparably conspicuous. Instantly attracting everyone's attention.

At this moment regardless whether it was pedestrians, or staff hurriedly rushing to repair the circuit all became dumbfounded... The entire subway station had a power cut, how come this gate could still be used??

Chen Ling's mouth corners slightly twitched. He immediately passed through the wide open gate, walking into the power-cut subway station. Four or five seconds after he left, the circuit then automatically recovered. The entire subway station once again returned to light... And Chen Ling at this moment, had already disappeared in the crowd's line of sight.

Chen Ling who had already changed a face, hands in his pockets stood in front of the subway Glass doors. Looking at the Electronic Screens and Communication Devices everywhere in the surroundings. A smear of faint light flashed in his eyes.

The next moment, all screen surfaces, all started flashing alternating between bright and dark. He stood inside the reflections of the crazily flashing screens, like a ghost.

Chen Ling's mouth corners slightly raised upwards.

He knew in this era, Lord of the Aurora's skill... he was considered to have drawn correctly.
