Chapter 220: The future world is like this

If you have already seen the most beautiful future, would you still choose to struggle in the past?

The first trial belonging to Wen Xishu gave him exactly this kind of feeling.

Future, unknown timeline.

A few white clouds hung in the azure sky, and the sun was bright.

This was definitely a city where humans lived, but everything in the city was so orderly.

Wen Xishu looked at the neat streets, watched the crowds coming and going, and felt the scent of human life in the air.

He was stunned for a moment.

Not only was Wen Xishu stunned, but even the flesh and blood belonging to Sirius, which was attached to Wen Xishu, was speechless for a moment.

"This... I have never seen this timeline. It is too beautiful; it is simply like a human city many years before the apocalypse... no, many years before the apocalypse arrived."

Buildings stood in rows, crowds came and went, and vehicles flowed in an endless stream.

It just so happened that Wen Xishu was at a high point with no one else around.

It seemed to be in a high-level flat of some city, and he could still see the scene in the distance through a telescope.

Everything was so harmonious.

"It wouldn't be a place created by you, would it?" Wen Xishu said softly.

He knew Sirius could hear him.

Sirius's voice still appeared in Wen Xishu's mind.

"No... I know what my timeline is like. If I cannot obtain freedom, the places I create will definitely have some oddities, visible oddities."

Wen Xishu did not speak, just turned the telescope to look elsewhere. He was at the highest point of a city and could almost overlook half the city.

Wen Xishu could see children in a kindergarten in the distance, sitting on slides and playing happily, the expressions on their faces full of laughter, yet each was different.

There were also parents who were late, bringing their children to the school gate with a bit of apology.

"Is it because of the luck value? I am so lucky... that I saw the ultimate answer to the future all at once?"

World peace, humans walking out of the bunkers, and people on the Ark also walking out of the Ark.

Looking at the level of technology, it seemed to be about the same as before the apocalypse; human technological civilization should not have had any major breakthroughs.

Perhaps it was shortly after the apocalypse ended.

Sirius also couldn't help but say:

"It's really strange... for such a large city, if it were not disturbed by the strange and the apocalypse, it would be too bizarre. Could it be that in the future, under your efforts, humans really found a way to end the apocalypse?"

"No... you can't do it; only those twelve people can do it."

Wen Xishu did not speak, letting Sirius talk to himself:

"In so many time turbulence... almost all the ones I encountered were very dangerous, and I had to hide so as not to be discovered, but you actually encountered a safe timeline all at once."

"It's them, it must be some constellation that killed the other eleven... could it be Leo? Or Bai Yang?"

Sirius said in surprise.

Wen Xishu couldn't help but ask:

"Is Leo very strong?"

He said:

"Very strong. He, along with Cancer and Sagittarius, are all combat-type existences. But his power is related to prestige. Under such innate conditions, his strength ceiling is the highest."

Wen Xishu actually didn't believe in constellations, but he knew that among the constellations... Leo was a very conceited one.

Of course, this was not the point at the moment.

The point at the moment was this timeline.

"Do you think that only a certain constellation killing the other eleven constellations can possess the power to end the apocalypse?"

He said:

"Yes."

Wen Xishu said again:

"Could Pisces possibly have this kind of strength?"

Sirius really couldn't say; his prediction of Leo and Bai Yang was just his personal opinion.

But to say that other constellations had no chance of winning was also impossible.

Every other constellation had the possibility of winning.

But regarding these brothers and sisters, he really didn't know; he only knew that they were all very strong and all had the ability to kill the five weakest ones.

"If it's Pisces... it is indeed possible. After all, whoever wins time can win everything," he said.

Wen Xishu was thinking, if it really was Pisces that ended the apocalypse, and if the future really had such a scene...

Humans could live so normally, then he could cooperate with Pisces.

"Let's go, Wen Xishu, you have no evidence that this was done by Pisces. Please at least... save me first. To achieve such a future, you must also participate."

"Don't tell me you want to stay in this timeline?"

Wen Xishu did not answer, just shook his head.

He longed to pursue excitement; this kind of beautiful life was the result he wanted to achieve, but he enjoyed the process more.

Wen Xishu took out the Luo Pan, intending to find an escape point and enter the next timeline.

But after taking out the Luo Pan, Wen Xishu was startled.

The needle of the Luo Pan was moving chaotically. In the past, when encountering danger, the Luo Pan would spin crazily, but this time, the speed of the Luo Pan's rotation was incredibly fast.

Wen Xishu was greatly alarmed:

"This... what is going on? Why would the Luo Pan give me a danger warning?"

He said:

"Is there danger nearby? Stay quiet... hide your aura."

Wen Xishu had actually always been speaking very softly, and even when seeing this peaceful and beautiful scene, he had always hidden his aura.

At this moment, he exerted his Long Yin power to the extreme, almost isolating all his aura.

At the same time, Wen Xishu listened carefully to the sounds around him. After confirming that there was no movement around, Wen Xishu began to use the telescope to observe the city again.

Is the Luo Pan broken?

No, Wen Xishu believed in Ding Dong's level. Ding Dong was the one who truly survived from Scorpio's hands. Scorpio completed the mission of killing Ding Dong—

And Ding Dong also completed self-redemption.

Someone who could face the twelve constellations and think of such a perfect method was naturally not simple.

Wen Xishu began to observe every passerby.

The expressions on the passersby's faces were different, everything was normal, and no changes could be seen.

One could also see some old men and some leisurely people on the road.

One could also see many children, none of whom were very old. The oldest was only twelve or thirteen.

Wen Xishu scanned half the city carefully with the telescope, and he suddenly discovered—a certain age group was missing.

This was really not easy to observe... because people of this age group actually didn't appear on the streets very easily.

But after careful observation, Wen Xishu thought, it couldn't be that there wasn't a single one, right?

Simply put, Wen Xishu found that the oldest children were only twelve or thirteen, but those around thirteen to eighteen... he didn't see a single one.

Wen Xishu suddenly felt that it was terrifying to think about.

This huge city, could it be...

A hair-raising thought appeared.

Every adult he saw could be seen as an obvious adult; whether complaining or laughing, one could see the old age of those in their twenties, mostly after thirty.

These two ages were naturally not old, but compared to those twelve or thirteen-year-old children, or even seventeen or eighteen-year-olds, it was obviously different.

Of course, Wen Xishu had already discovered that there were no seventeen or eighteen-year-olds.

What he saw, belonging to the category of children, were at most thirteen.

Anything older than that started at at least twenty-five or twenty-six, with a direct gap in between.

So where did these people go?

Wen Xishu tried to establish a connection with the Luo Pan.

"I already know that there is danger all around... can you find a path that takes me away from the danger?"

Sirius couldn't believe it; the Luo Pan needle really stopped slowly and tremblingly pointed in one direction.

"This thing is really strong. With this thing, I don't need to give you any hints at all."

Wen Xishu said:

"This belongs to Phoenix, and it is also your brother's or sister's thing."

Sirius suddenly realized:

"So that's how it is... it's that Phoenix who was taken away by the people of Longxia Country when he was very young."

"He is actually still alive?"

Wen Xishu shook his head:

"No, he is dead. To be precise, he is out."

As Wen Xishu spoke, he hunched his body and walked carefully. He sensed the surrounding environment and walked towards the outside.

You know, Wen Xishu had just turned eighteen not long ago; at least after crossing into the bunker, his age was that of a young man who had just turned eighteen.

This meant that Wen Xishu was an alien in this city.

Because there were no people of this age group in this city.

After thinking about it, Wen Xishu decided to wear a mask to go out.

He styled his hair into a slicked-back look and put on a suit from the wardrobe in the room before walking out of the room.

There was an old man sweeping the floor in the corridor.

In a place where there was no sunlight... the old man was sweeping the floor, drooling from his mouth.

The reason he was drooling was also very simple, because a family next door was celebrating their child's twelfth birthday.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

The tune of the happy birthday song was different from Wen Xishu's previous life, but the lyrics hadn't changed, and they were all very cheerful.

Just as Wen Xishu was about to go downstairs, he caught a glimpse of the old man sweeping the floor drooling, revealing terrifying teeth.

But the old man still smiled at Wen Xishu.

And then, the child's screams came, followed by the chewing sound of flesh being torn apart.

Sirius's voice appeared in Wen Xishu's mind.

"Didn't expect..."

"Everything is an illusion."

Yes, Wen Xishu really didn't expect that it would be such a scene.

He immediately quickened his pace.

Fortunately, after his deliberate disguise, he was not recognized.

In the elevator, many monsters with terrifying fangs, looking like humans but not humans at all... squeezed into the elevator.

Wen Xishu didn't dare to squeeze with these guys, so he chose to take the stairs.

Along the way, Wen Xishu soon realized...

This city was a city where monsters simulated humans... these monsters had evolved even more outrageously.

They possessed human technology and wisdom... no abnormalities could be seen in the sunlight.

But they ate people.

They ate children no older than twelve or thirteen.

Where was this a beautiful city? This was simply... a huge devil's cafeteria that enjoyed human children.

Was the future really so terrible?

Although he didn't encounter those extremely terrifying monsters, and although he didn't know the strength of these monsters...

But this future development was too desperate.

What exactly happened to humans now?

Did they stay in the bunker, but the bunker was breached? So humans were kept in captivity in the bunker?

Or did humans suffer a scam and leave the bunker?

Wen Xishu didn't dare to think too much; he only knew that to change this future, he had to find a way to take Sirius away.

The scene outside was beautiful, and the more so it was, the more creepy Wen Xishu felt.

Fortunately, his temperament was strong enough along the way, and no one saw through him.

He finally arrived at the "escape point" guided by the Luo Pan.

It was inside a huge shopping mall.

A plaque was written outside the mall: Minors are prohibited from entering.

Looking from afar, the mall sold clothes and various daily necessities.

But after walking in and taking the elevator to the second floor... the scene on the second floor changed.

Various children's heads were pierced by iron chains, hung on the iron chains, and price tags were attached to them.

This scene was too hellish, and Wen Xishu felt physically uncomfortable, but he could still endure it.

His will was fully capable of dealing with more bizarre scenes.

Soon, Wen Xishu arrived at a utility room.

On the wall of the utility room, there was graffiti, and it was unknown who drew it.

The graffiti was crooked and drew an eye.

Wen Xishu touched this eye and immediately felt an incredible power...

That kind of space-time power sucked him in instantly.

The first time travel ended.

The second time travel began.

It was still an unknown timeline, and Wen Xishu only felt a stinging pain in his brain, as if a steel needle had pierced his nerves.

Crossing turbulence itself also had extremely high requirements for physical fitness.

Ordinary people really couldn't do the thing of time travel.

Wen Xishu wiped away the nosebleed and began to observe the surrounding environment.

He was shocked to find that he was in a dark tunnel.

There were many people before and after.

Everyone was walking slowly, afraid of disturbing the monsters on the ground.

Of course, even in such an environment, many people were communicating. Although they lowered their voices, there was no doubt that people were afraid and fearful, and if the crowd talked to relieve these emotions, the sound would naturally not be low.

"Hey... do you think Wind City will really take us in?"

"I don't know, I even doubt the claim that Wind City is a human shelter."

"But we have no choice... we don't want to experience the tragedy of Deep City again. And we can't go to Hujiang, right? There are some places to survive there, but there is still a war going on there."

"Wind City is our last hope."

Wen Xishu listened to these words, and his heart became more and more surprised.

Wind City, isn't this the city he manages?

A dark tunnel reaching Wind City?

Looking at it this way, his Wind City in the future became a human shelter?

This was naturally a good thing.

However, for this timeline and the previous timeline, I don't know which one is later?

In the dark tunnel, the faces of these people could not be seen clearly.

But vaguely, one could feel many Eastern faces.

These people... came from the bunker?

Wen Xishu's heartbeat accelerated slightly. If these people came from the bunker—

How did they come?

Through a login device? Or... was the barrier between the bunker and the Three Towers battlefield broken?

Wen Xishu took a deep breath and touched the shoulder of the person in front:

"Big brother, where are you from?"

That person suddenly stopped and looked back at Wen Xishu. There was no doubt that it was an Eastern face:

"Your question is really inexplicable. Aren't we from the same place?"
