Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 7: This new world
Under Lin Sanjiu's guidance, Mather drove all the way to the downstairs of the apartment on the 38th floor and found a secluded place to stop and rest.
After all, it is a top-notch community, and there are much fewer people than outside. Even in this unrecognizable world, the garden still looks so quiet and unique at this time.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Sanjiu blocked the broken window and turned on the air conditioner. Now that Zhu Mei is gone...saving gas and electricity has no meaning anymore. The cool environment not only allowed her to recover faster, it was also good for the wounds on her neck, preventing inflammation and infection at high temperatures... But although the truth was clear, she still felt a little sad when the cold wind blew.
Lu Ze looked at her expression, sighed and said, "Sister, don't be too sad. Your friend... finally didn't die at the hands of a fallen species..."
After experiencing a life-and-death crisis together, the relationship between the two parties had unknowingly grown closer - Lin Sanjiu felt Lu Ze's kindness, smiled, and after a while said: "Can you please stop screaming?" Am I the eldest sister? I'm really not much older than you... By the way, I haven't had time to introduce myself just now. My name is Lin Sanjiu. Well, I just... just evolved."
"Why is your name so special?" Lu Ze had an expression on his face that said, "I'll lose if we compare names," "Then I'll call you Little Bar... By the way, why are you wearing a towel around your neck? ”
"Oh!" Lin Sanjiu was reminded, and she quickly took off the wet and hot towel, revealing the **** wound underneath. When Lu Ze saw it, she immediately took a breath of air, and Mather also raised her eyebrows and looked at her doubtfully. Lin Sanjiu opened a bottle of pure water and told the whole story of Ren Nan's incident while cleaning the wound. ——Probably because these two people had saved her once in a critical moment, Lin Sanjiu was willing to trust them at this time.
After he finished speaking in a few words, when he looked again, Lu Ze's mouth was wide open, with a look of disbelief on his face. Mather had been frowning and remaining silent. Suddenly she pointed at the purified water bottle and said to the stunned Lin Sanjiu, "Let me do it. I have studied medicine for two years after all." After that, she He found a roll of bandages and some antibiotics from his pocket.
...Does the differentiated personality also have its own complete life experience? Lin Sanjiu glanced at Lu Ze in confusion, but without saying anything, she obediently raised her head and swallowed two tablets of antibiotics. With Mather's skills, the wound on her neck was properly treated after a while.
After listening to the story, Lu Ze was still a little confused: "I have heard of this kind of cannibalism before... But Mather and I have never seen it before. We always thought it was an urban legend, but we didn't expect it to be. Really. This Ren Nan probably just evolved not long ago before you killed him so easily. Otherwise, given time, he would have become so powerful!"
"He shouldn't be from our world. I have never heard of such a person before." Mather said quietly. ——After spending half a night together, Lin Sanjiu also figured out that although Mather was unable to fight in actual combat, she was agile, calm and experienced (?), so she seemed to be more reliable than Lu Ze.
"Explain to me what kind of world this is...what's going on? How many worlds are there?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but ask Mather.
"Why did you ask Mather but not me..." Lu Ze's unconfident protest sounded from beside him. Mather seemed not to have heard and asked Lin Sanjiu a question: "Have you ever heard of the parallel space theory?"
Lin Sanjiu said "Ah": "Beyond our universe, there are countless parallel universes - every measurement behavior, or even everyone's choice is different, may split, no matter , create a new parallel space?"
She has also read a lot of science fiction novels, so she still knows this.
Mather looked calm, nodded and said: "That's right. I don't know how many people there are in your world. There are a total of 4.3 billion people in our world. In every person's life, everything they do Every choice will split into a new space. If you choose to take the left path this morning, then you in another space will choose the right path...and everyone in the new space will continue to Create a new space. No one knows how many 'worlds' there are in total - this number is infinite."
"Originally, we all lived well in our own space and never met people from another space in our lives. But for some unknown reason, some parallel spaces began to mutate... Just like here Same."
Taking advantage of Mather's pause, Lin Sanjiu hurriedly asked: "Is it possible that everything has become a high-temperature environment like here?"
The person who answered her was Lu Ze, who had a rare serious look on his face: "Not necessarily. In our world, it was due to a leak of a virus experiment... More than half of the people died in the plague caused by the virus."
Lin Sanjiu suddenly thought that he might have lost relatives and friends in his own world...
The carriage was silent for a few seconds, but Mather broke the silence and continued: "No one can say how many parallel dimensions have mutated at the same time, but what is certain is that this number will never be small. When we survived the virus and evolved, we originally thought that we would just have to work hard to survive. But——"
Marthe paused, as if considering a suitable statement.
"In the 14th month, Luze and I had adapted to the new world full of plagues and fallen species. But at this time, he had a dream..."
Lu Ze said at the right time: "In my dream, there was a huge dice with an unclear appearance. As soon as I approached it, the dice was immediately thrown towards it as if it was controlled by something. into the air. When it fell, I saw the word 'Blood dyes the land black' on the upward side of the die."
Lin Sanjiu was a little confused.
"As soon as Lu Ze and I woke up, we found ourselves lying on a battlefield. Can you imagine? We just opened our eyes, and we still didn’t understand where we were. There was someone fifty meters away from us. A bomb was dropped..." Mather added duly.
"Although I still didn't understand what was going on at the time, we still lived hard for 14 months in a world ruled by war. Until the last day of the 14th month, I dreamed of dice again ..." Lu Ze's voice sounded far away.
In the cool air-conditioned air in the car, a drop of sweat crawled down Lin Sanjiu's forehead. "This time, what's written on that die?"
Lu Ze sighed and said: "Extreme temperature hell."
Extreme temperature hell!
Lin Sanjiu opened her mouth and was about to speak, but Lu Ze seemed to have guessed what she was going to say: "I am not the only one who has this kind of dream. Almost all the evolved humans I have met in the two worlds, They all have dreams in the 14th month. And... everyone dreams about different places."
My heart beat violently, and Lin Sanjiu couldn't believe it: "So, I will also do it in 14 months..."
"Go to another 'new world'." Mather said in a positive tone. "Probably because I have a differentiated personality, I am the only one who has never had a dream - I just followed Lu Ze."
Extreme temperature hell? dice? Throwing dice to decide where to go? ——One after another unimaginable news filled Lin Sanjiu’s brain. She digested it for a long time before she suddenly woke up: “Wait a minute... you just said that every evolved human being dreams about different places~IndoMTL .com~ In other words, this dice makes random choices in an endless parallel space——"
This means that once she leaves, she may never be able to return to the place where she was born and raised for the rest of her life.
No, it's more than that - this also means that when 14 months are up, Lu Ze and Mather will be sent to who knows which parallel space, and there is a possibility that they will never meet again.
It feels a little weird to just meet two people you can trust, and then be told to separate right away.
The car glass has already been covered with a layer of fine water droplets - obviously, while talking for a while, the temperature outside has risen again. Lin Sanjiu turned down the air conditioner, and suddenly realized another possibility in the silence. "Wait a minute, in the parallel space theory, there are countless 'I's. So that means I might meet another me in another world?"
Unexpectedly, Mather shook her head firmly.
"Just like Darwin's theory of evolution, the parallel space theory is just the best explanation of this 'dice world' that we know so far. It is not the truth. But what you just said is exactly this A flaw in the parallel space theory; because in another new world, there is no other you at all."
Lin Sanjiu was in a daze - the amount of information tonight was too great. She couldn't help but lean back in her chair. Her mind was filled with everything about the new world, and she was speechless for a moment.
Suddenly there was a soft swishing sound in the car. When she looked up, she saw that the nails on Mather's index finger had turned into long steel armor, and he was looking at her with expectant light in his eyes. : "...Now, can you let me draw blood?"
