Chapter 221: I met myself in the future

Wen Xishu heard this answer and smiled:

"I have amnesia."

"That's normal. Did you encounter a ghost story somewhere ahead? Poor guy, okay, we are from..."

Wen Xishu was really afraid of hearing the bunker; this was a very strange thing. He hoped that people in the bunker could walk out of the bunker, but not as refugees.

"We are from the bunker," the man said.

Wen Xishu was a little discouraged. He finally heard the word bunker, just thinking that the result of countless legends and geniuses working hard to climb the tower—was actually like this, humans crawling underground, heading to Wind City...

He was more or less frustrated. Although he was the master of Wind City, to be honest, Wen Xishu didn't care about fame anymore, because he was already a legend in the bunker.

"Anything else you want to ask?" the man urged.

Wen Xishu then asked:

"What about old principal Albert?"

This time it was Wen Xishu's turn to be surprised. The man was a little puzzled:

"Who is that? Sounds like a foreigner. In the underground bunker, there are very few foreigners," the man said.

Then he turned and continued forward because the team in front was no longer blocked.

Wen Xishu was urged by the people behind, and then realized that he should follow.

Underground tunnel...

Underground bunker...

He suddenly understood. The bunker is the bunker, and the underground bunker is the underground bunker. These are two different places.

Light suddenly appeared in Wen Xishu's eyes.

Long Yin Plan!

He remembered, he had heard of the underground bunker. After the mission of the Chosen Train ended, Wen Xishu obtained the details of the Long Yin Plan from the train conductor Wei Ping'an.

Humans fled underground, and the underground bunker was located 1,000 meters deep underground, capable of accommodating 500,000 people.

This was part of the Long Yin Plan.

The other part was god-making.

Wen Xishu immediately patted the man in front.

The man was also warm-hearted:

"What's wrong, brother, anything else you want to ask? Ask, I will definitely know everything."

This made Wen Xishu a little surprised. Was the other party too friendly?

But soon, Wen Xishu remembered that Wei Ping'an had said such a sentence—

"Well... our underground bunker has no class division. Here, except for the management, almost everyone is equal. Especially the latecomers."

Everyone is equal, respecting each other... in the apocalypse, is it really possible to achieve? But looking at this person's attitude, Wen Xishu really felt that the other party had no arrogance or precautions.

In fact, the atmosphere in the entire underground tunnel was very friendly.

Friendly to the point that Wen Xishu felt... this was a group that loved each other.

But Wen Xishu remembered that Wei Ping'an had said that people in the underground bunker had an obsession with returning to the surface.

And the Long Yin Plan was supported by Libra. Libra and Aries had both appeared in Wei Ping'an's words.

It can be seen that this plan is not simple, because this plan involves a ritual, a god-making ritual.

"Our god... how is he?"

"Oh, you remembered something! Good thing, good thing, but don't continue to think about it, brother, don't ask about this matter. The things behind are very tragic," the man's tone carried regret, and he choked up when he said the second half.

Wen Xishu said:

"I want to know, brother, I want to know."

The man sighed:

"Sigh, where is there any god? That is just a container. At first, the god was composed of our relatives, warriors, and relatives fused into a god. He was protecting us, fighting in all directions on the ground, bringing us food, and preparing for us to leave the underground in the future."

"But later, the ritual went wrong, and the god began to become chaotic and irritable."

"The underground began to become dangerous, and we had to start fleeing. Our relatives, that is, those who became part of the god... also lost their consciousness and became slaves to others."

Wen Xishu felt a little creepy when he heard this.

How is this so similar to the Ark?

There is a demigod hidden in the Ark, Sirius. Sirius is powerful and can create various scenes.

But the final result of Sirius was being enslaved.

And the Long Yin Plan, this plan was led by Libra, telling the Whatever Longxia people a ritual. Through this ritual, others could be sacrificed to make a certain specific existence stronger.

At that time, Wen Xishu was asked whether he accepted the ritual, accepted the sacrifice from Amiao, Zheng Zai, Xiao Jin, Yue Yun, and Nisen, and became a higher-level existence.

Wen Xishu refused.

Others also refused.

But this plan did not stop. The Chosen Train had been screening geniuses and looking for sacrifices, just to create a god.

A god who could lead the Whatever Longxia people in the underground bunker to return to the surface.

There is no doubt that this plan can really create a super powerful existence.

Perhaps, it can reach the constellation level.

But now, this god suddenly lost his will and became a slave to one side.

This made Wen Xishu feel how similar it was to Sirius.

One was an apocalypse avoidance plan from the Free State, eventually becoming a slave to Pisces.

One was an apocalypse avoidance plan from Whatever Longxia, eventually becoming a slave to one side.

Is it Pisces? Or Libra? Or something else?

Wen Xishu thought of An Rongzai again.

This demon king of Jicheng said: Under the deep sea, there are many bigger fish hidden. If you become strong enough, you will attract the attention of these big fish and eventually be swallowed.

An Rongzai didn't want to be swallowed, but if he didn't become strong, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to survive.

At that time, in An Rongzai's context, the big fish hidden in the deep sea referred to Pisces and Scorpio.

Thinking about it now, perhaps in the Long Yin Plan, the god created had already become strong enough to be coveted by those big fish in the deep sea.

"Later, we started to flee. In the process of fleeing, we went to Shencheng. That place looked very beautiful... but there is no future there. Especially young people, once they go there, they will be consumed and eventually abandoned with nothing. We suffered heavy losses and went to Jiangcheng."

"Jiangcheng is too miserable. It rains heavily all year round. It is not suitable for living at all. The monsters there are even more bloody and cruel."

"But we saw many hints from Jiangcheng, those fonts wrapped in scarlet blood mist... telling us that it is possible to live in Wind City."

Fonts wrapped in scarlet blood mist?

Left by the Red House?

Wen Xishu thought of Tang Rui. But Tang Rui should have left Jiangcheng long ago.

However, he didn't ask much.

Because soon, the team in front stopped.

Wen Xishu and this friend who knew everything were at the head of the team, and there were about 30,000 people behind them.

When the god still had reason and was constantly becoming stronger, Whatever Longxia's Long Yin Plan, like the first year of the Ark, was all very beautiful.

At that time, although the underground bunker said it could only accommodate 500,000 people... but in order to create more sacrifices. In order to let more lives fuse with the god—

After the living environment was relatively comfortable, everyone was frantically creating people.

For a while...

Whatever Longxia was even in a distorted concept of sharing, everyone is equal, everything can be shared, including wives and husbands, including children.

After a woman is pregnant, she doesn't need to worry about not finding the child's father; anyone can be the child's father.

It was also under this concept that the god's growth was very terrifying, because there was a steady stream of sacrifices.

The population of the underground bunker once exceeded 4 million.

But now, only the last 30,000 or so remain.

As the pioneer force at the head, Wen Xishu and others encountered a trouble.

They saw light.

Six different light sources.

It means that next, they have six options to reach the surface.

But there is only one correct answer.

"On the ground, it has long been shrouded in various strange rules... I am afraid we only have one correct answer. What should we do..."

Everyone was worried.

But soon, a slightly old voice said:

"If Wind City is really livable, then after heading to Wind City, we can return safely..."

"So, please ask those over sixty to step out, and please ask those with physical disabilities to step out."

What surprised Wen Xishu was that many old people really stepped out, and many people who had lost part of their limbs in the war, even if they were crawling, walked out of the queue.

The old man who spoke was actually not a commander; he had the same status as everyone here, and everyone was equal.

But his words still made countless people come out.

"If we are to die, let us old, weak, sick, and disabled die first. We will split into six paths and set off from the six passages at the same time. You young people, wait here. Wait for us to bring back news."

"If the apocalypse ends in the future... remember to find our remains and let the fallen leaves return to their roots."

After the old man finished speaking, those old people who stepped out also consciously began to change formation and divided into six neat queues.

Wen Xishu was shocked.

But he suddenly remembered, yes, if Whatever Longxia corresponds to the country in his previous life... then this country really has such a collective concept.

They can really make concessions and sacrifices under the general trend.

Even this country relied on this collective consciousness and overall situation view to become stronger step by step.

Admittedly, after the distorted rule apocalypse arrived, there were many distorted things in Whatever Longxia's underground bunker...

But some beliefs in people's bones had not been distorted.

This was also the reason why these ordinary people could survive after experiencing Shencheng and Jiangcheng.

Wen Xishu certainly didn't want these people to die in the apocalypse.

"Choose this one. If you believe in me, choose this one." Wen Xishu pointed to the path on the far right among the six passages.

"Brother... you said you had amnesia not long ago." Someone said.

Wen Xishu said:

"Believe me, everyone, if you want to survive, take this one."

The Luo Pan had already told Wen Xishu the answer, and Wen Xishu could also have some faint connection with Wind City.

"How about this, if you really don't believe it... arrange a team to explore this road first."

"My suggestion is, don't let six teams explore at the same time, because that way, five teams will inevitably fail, but if you take turns, you might not have to experience a single failure. If you take turns, I suggest you choose this one first."

"The old people might as well go back first, because there is no need for so many, just a few people together to explore the way."

Wen Xishu's statement was reasonable and well-founded, and everyone was convinced.

So soon, Wen Xishu himself and a team began to leave along the passage on the far right.

They soon reached the ground.

After reaching the ground, what came into view was an abandoned city street.

Monsters with huge wings would appear in the sky from time to time, but Wen Xishu and others hiding in the ruins were never discovered.

Under the leadership of Wen Xishu and the Luo Pan, a group of people relied on abandoned building bunkers to avoid many monsters.

Finally, that city that looked like a mirage... appeared in their sight.

What surprised Wen Xishu was...

Wind City was a bit too red.

It was terrifyingly red. I don't know the reason, but the sky of Wind City was blood-red, and the outskirts of the entire Wind City were shrouded in scarlet mist.

This scene scared the few Whatever Longxia old people who were with him.

"I once had the honor to communicate with the god before he was enslaved. The god said that only the most powerful monsters would have this scarlet aura."

"Even the god has to show his true skills to deal with this kind of monster that can emit scarlet aura."

"It's too terrible. Shencheng and Jiangcheng added together don't have so much scarlet ghost aura..."

"If this Wind City is a shelter, it must be a lie, right?"

"Yes, how many monsters must have gathered together to make this blood-red aura rise into the sky, and even the sky turned red."

The old people talked to each other, their tone full of despair. Wind City could be said to be their last hope.

But this Wind City looked much more terrifying than Shencheng, Jicheng, Moen City, and Jiangcheng.

I'm afraid this place is full of monsters that can emit scarlet mist.

Such a place, of course, cannot be a shelter.

But Wen Xishu said:

"Uncles and aunts, don't panic yet... I mean, suppose, suppose, do you think it's possible that the monsters in Wind City are actually good? Are they all on the human side?"

Wen Xishu didn't expect that his beautiful Wind City would become like this?

But his thoughts were different from the old people. His thoughts were—Damn, how many Red Houses did I encounter in the Three Towers? Did I gather them all in Wind City?

So as the master of Wind City, Wen Xishu didn't worry about the monsters inside at all. He just sighed... to make Wind City look like this, probably—

He would encounter many existences similar to Tang Rui, Xiao Xing, Xiao Tong, Jack, and Jennifer later.

His tower-climbing journey was still very long.

"Are you crazy? Little brother, don't go! Who knows how many horrors are hidden in this city... how can it be livable for humans."

Wen Xishu said:

"How about this, I'll go and communicate. If you are worried, wait here for me. I'll go and..."

Just as Wen Xishu was speaking—

A sound suddenly came from Wind City.

This sound appeared in everyone's mind, not just Wen Xishu and the old people, but also all the Whatever Longxia people in the underground tunnel...

Everyone heard it.

For the Whatever Longxia people, the sound was very familiar, because they had heard it not long ago.

For Wen Xishu, the sound was like seeing a ghost, like a split personality.

"The gate of Wind City will open. There are indeed many powerful existences in Wind City, but they are harmless. If you want to come to Wind City for shelter, you can come in. If you don't trust us, you can leave."

"But I have to say one thing, since we found you, it would be easy to kill you, wouldn't it?"

"There is only one chance. Decide whether to stay or leave as soon as possible."

This sentence was said to the Whatever Longxia people.

But Wen Xishu also heard another sentence—

"Don't get close to Wind City. If you and I are too close, it will cause some things to fission."

Hearing his own voice appear in his mind, Wen Xishu was not happy.

Because not long ago, he was still celebrating that the underground bunker was not the bunker.

But now, Wen Xishu heard his own voice... from Wind City.

Yes, the one communicating with Wen Xishu was exactly Wen Xishu from the future.

This voice made Wen Xishu stunned.

But soon, Wen Xishu also reacted to what was going on.

"How many questions can I ask?" the current Wen Xishu said.

"Don't ask, just let nature take its course. Because at that time, I was in your position, and the answer I got was also this."

Closed loop? Wen Xishu was a little speechless.

"The next escape point is not far away, explore it yourself. If you are dissatisfied with this future... then try your best to change it. But as far as I know, all changes after knowing fate will deliberately promote fate."

"So, I won't tell you what happened in the future... I don't know if this is a larger-scale time imprisonment... at this moment, I can indeed recall what you are doing now."

"My memory tells me that outside Wind City, there is me at that time leading a group of Whatever Longxia people waiting for rescue outside Wind City."

Logically, it is indeed like this. If you meet yourself in the future... then what you are doing now, in the eyes of yourself in the future—is what he did before.

So when Wen Xishu tried to explore Wind City, Wen Xishu in Wind City would recall—at this time, the past me tried to explore Wind City.

So, Wen Xishu in Wind City made preparations early.

Wen Xishu said:

"Okay, no matter what, I will not accept any future I see. I will try my best... to make every node go according to the best result in my heart."

Wen Xishu in Wind City responded:

"That's good. Everything is not as bad as you think. Actually, the current result is not bad... but if I say too much, it might lead to me modifying the past."

For the current Wen Xishu, he met himself in the future, which is entering the future.

But for Wen Xishu in the future, this moment is equivalent to being able to change the past, and by telling the current Wen Xishu certain things, he can avoid certain tragedies.

But Wen Xishu in the future knows one thing very clearly—this will accumulate time causality. Once this is done, it is very likely to cause changes.

And the one who is best at playing with time, at least in this story, is not Wen Xishu.

He was worried that telling his past self certain things at this moment would lead to exposing his intentions... and having his weaknesses known by Pisces.

So Wen Xishu in the future chose to say nothing, just told Wen Xishu where the next escape point was.

"Try your best, don't seek perfection, but seek a clear conscience. Come on, past me."

Wen Xishu heard this sentence.

He nodded:

"At the next node, will I meet acquaintances? Can this be spoiled?"

Wen Xishu from Wind City smiled:

"Yes, at the next node, you will meet people you are very happy to see. Pisces' time turbulence is dangerous for most people, but for you and me... no, for me, we are the variables themselves. Some nodes are even quite interesting."

"Go, you don't have much time, save Sirius early."

Wen Xishu didn't ask any more questions, but parted ways with the Whatever Longxia old people and headed to the escape point where the next node was located.
