Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 239 Psionics
At this moment, not only Tashi, but also other people who came with him are a little confused.

In their opinion, if anyone is least likely to become a psionic master, it must be Chen Xuan.

Dolma said before that those beefy guys in Orion Village don't have the potential to become psionic masters.

A strong man, among a group of slender psionicists, this picture is a bit inconsistent no matter how you think about it.

But the current situation can't help them not to believe it.

As for Chen Xuan.

To be honest, he was the most confused.

So far, he knows almost nothing about the situation on the Tianshuang Plateau.

Although Tashi and the others kept chatting along the way, they were all meaningless and gave him a headache.

Although he didn't know anything about psionic masters, this did not prevent him from being curious about psionic masters.

Judging from Tashi's previous conversation, psionicists should be a special group of evolutionaries.

Moreover, the sense of oppression released by the gray-robed old man just now reminded him of the surging aura of the ancient strong man he had seen in the illusion.

The two feel somewhat similar.

Moreover, the civilization of the Sun Tower also has a long history, and it may be related to the super-ancient civilization.

The problem is that the purpose of Chen Xuan's trip is not these.

When he first came to this land, he just wanted to find some fuel, and then returned to the "Kunpeng".

Although the blizzard should not come again for some time now, leaving the ship for too long always made him feel insecure.

Furthermore, he doesn't know much about the situation on the Tianshuang Plateau for the time being.

Many doubts have not been resolved.

Seeing that Chen Xuan didn't move for a long time, Tashi and the others thought that Chen Xuan was dazzled by the huge surprise and didn't react, so they hurriedly urged in a low voice.

"Brother, what are you still doing, go to the elder!"

Although they couldn't believe it, Tashi and the others were still a little excited.

After all, with every additional psionicist, human beings become stronger.

Hearing the urging from Tashi and the others, Chen Xuan thought to himself.

There are so many people, what can he do now?
Is it yelling "I'm just passing by" at everyone?
Forget it, let's take a step at the moment.

He walked out from the crowd and walked towards the old man in gray robe.

And behind him, there are countless envious eyes gathered.

Of course there are doubts.

"This man looks quite strong, and the clothes, are they from Orion Village?"

"Can people in Orion Village also become psionic masters?"

"This is ridiculous."

"And didn't you just hear the evaluation of the gray-robed elder, he said 'very good'. Tsk tsk, I have participated in the selection meeting four or five times, and this is the first time I have seen the gray-robed elder give such a high evaluation. "

"This guy from Orion Village is a bit interesting."

"It's weird. The last time I saw the old brother from Orion Village, he told me that they would not send anyone over. If you have that skill, you might as well kill another snow rabbit."

"You must have been tricked."

……

Naturally, the whispered discussions of these people could not escape Chen Xuan's favorable ears.

Especially when he heard that these people acquiesced that they were Orion Village, the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching.

Could it be that he is so like Orion Village?

As a melon eater, don't make wild guesses, okay?
Accompanied by a burst of discussion, Chen Xuan slowly came to the side of the old man in gray robe.

The old man in gray robe took a deep look at Chen Xuan, and then his eyes became dull again. He turned to look at the crowd and called his name again.

"That little girl, you are qualified."

"And the young man next to you, you are barely qualified."

Just like that, the gray-robed old man continued to roll names from the crowd, and those whose names were called came to the gray-robed old man one by one.

It's just that the gray-robed old man's evaluation of these people is all "qualified" or "barely qualified" without exception.

In addition, the little girl Dolma who came with Tashi and the others was also successfully selected.

This naturally made Tashi and the others excited again.

In the end, a total of eleven people were selected. Compared to the whole courtyard, these eleven people were undoubtedly one in a hundred.

Among them, Chen Xuan's strong figure and snow-white clothes stood out among such a group of thin people.

"The selection is over, and the rest of you, please go back. The selected psionic masters will return to their respective villages after their training is over."

The old man in gray robe said loudly.

The sound is not loud, but it is very clear in this quiet yard.

After finishing speaking, the old man in gray robe turned to Chen Xuan and the others and said.

"You come with me."

After that, he turned around and walked towards the ancient door of Sunlight Tower. Without any movement, the door opened automatically in front, revealing the antique scenery inside. Seeing this, other people followed suit.

But Chen Xuan was a little hesitant.

Could it be that after entering, you can't come out again for the time being?

But watching the others drift away, he still followed them.

If you want to leave, who can stay?
Behind them, the people in the yard were also saying goodbye to their companions.

"Dolma, wait for your return."

"Sangji, I want to make my father look good."

"Basang, you have to practice hard and don't be lazy."

……

As soon as he stepped into the gate, Chen Xuan only felt the surrounding air change, it was not as cold as outside at all, although it could not reach the point of completely isolating the cold air, but at least it was within an acceptable range.

The inside of the tower is a complete wooden structure, with a layer of red blankets on the floor, and looking up, you can see oil lamps hanging on the wall, the orange light flickering, which looks very warm.

Such a wooden structure can withstand such a violent snowstorm without collapsing.

It's incredible.

"Young man in white, you are not from Orion Village, are you?"

At this moment, the gray-robed old man in front suddenly spoke.

In the silent tower, this sudden sound undoubtedly startled everyone.

It turned out that he knew.

Chen Xuan was a little excited, and finally had a normal person.

He said hastily.

"Yes, I'm not a local, I'm from outside."

As soon as these words came out, a group of people looked at Chen Xuan, but they didn't dare to speak, they just looked at it with surprised eyes.

"Sure enough, I remember all the guys in Orion Village, they don't have the temperament you have."

After saying this, the old man stopped talking.

A few minutes later, everyone came to a side hall.

"You wait here first, someone will come to receive you later."

After saying that, the old man in gray robe turned around and left the side hall.

At this time, Zhuoma, who had been quiet all this time, seemed to have finally been unsealed, and said to Chen Xuan.

"Ah, brother, you are actually from a foreign country, why have you been hiding it from us?"

Zhuoma said with a surprised look.

"Brother, are you really from a foreign country?"

Others also asked each other.

This made Chen Xuan secretly curse.

Uh... I want to say, have you ever given me a chance?
And you don't know my name at all, do you?

However, as a civilized youth in the new era, he still replied politely.

"No time, no time."

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Chen Xuan."

Then he asked again.

"By the way, Zhuoma, can you tell me about the Tianshuang Plateau?"

For the enthusiastic Dolma, this is naturally not a problem.

"Okay, brother, listen to me tell you..."

Next, Chen Xuan finally learned about the situation on the Tianshuang Plateau through Dolma.

When the end of the world just happened, the Tianshuang Plateau, as the highest land plate in the world, was naturally not affected by the flood.

And there are no heavy rains that last for several days in other places.

Instead, there was a big snowstorm.

When the blizzard first came, the temperature did not drop so quickly.

At that time, although all the residents on the Tianshuang Plateau felt that the situation was not good, everyone knew that they should hide in closed houses, put on winter clothes, and light a fire to keep warm.

Because the terrain here is relatively high and it is very cold all the year round, every household has firewood and gas all year round.

Therefore, although the outside temperature drops rapidly, it is safe to stay indoors for the time being.

But then there was a problem.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and accumulated thicker. In less than half a day, some low-rise houses had been completely buried.

At this time, the people living at home began to panic. Taking advantage of the fact that the houses were not buried deep, they climbed out one after another, planning to start migrating to higher places.

And the outside temperature has dropped to a very low level, even wearing winter clothes may not work well.

In the process, many people were frozen to death.

Some people did not choose to escape, but insisted on curling up at home, thinking that persistence was victory.

And their fate is naturally smothered to death.

Afterwards, people who successfully escaped to high-rise buildings soon discovered that the high-rise buildings were not good either. Due to the problems of windows and materials, the thermal performance was mediocre, and some buildings even collapsed.

The power of the cold air is more terrifying than people imagine.

But they have nowhere to go.

People rushed eastward to XZ, staying away from the cold as much as possible, and living a difficult life.

Although the blizzard lasted only two days, it caused countless deaths, most of whom were frozen to death or buried to death.

When the blizzard finally passed, most of the houses were buried hundreds of feet deep in the snow, making it difficult to dig out.

At this time, the problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation were all exposed.

How can we survive in the end times?

Naturally, it relies on the collective wisdom and efforts of everyone.

An expert in architecture quickly solved the housing problem.

Following the example of the Eskimos, he taught everyone how to build an igloo, and the igloo was surprisingly effective in keeping people warm. Even if you were wearing unlined clothing, you would not be cold if you stayed inside and lit a fire.

To protect themselves from blizzards, igloos are usually half-buried underground.

This is also the origin of those snow bags that Chen Xuan saw before.

The problem of food and clothing was solved by several hunters.

After the blizzard, the creatures on the plateau also mutated, among which the fur of the snow rabbit and a plant called snow hemp were the easiest to obtain.

People used snow rabbit and snow hemp to make clothes, cooked rabbit meat and some snow berries, and finally barely solved the problem of food and clothing.

In order to facilitate activities, everyone also built their own snow houses near the places of daily activities.

As a result, various new villages have emerged.

For example, Chen Xuan was misunderstood to come from Orion Village. The location of Orion Village is next to the snow-capped mountains, where there are more wild animals.

And some people lived above the original ruins, digging the snow-buried city, looking for useful things. This is Tianshuang Village, and it is also the village where Zhuoma and the others belong.

In addition, there are snow bee villages that specialize in raising snow bees, snow bee villages that specialize in complex planting of snow hemp, snow barley villages that specialize in planting some crops, and so on.

During this process, the people on the plateau were naturally affected by the mutated energy, and most of them gained physical enhancement.

But there are some people who stand out of the ordinary.

Although the physique of these people has not been significantly enhanced, their five senses have become exceptionally sharp, and their memory and perception have been greatly enhanced.

But at the beginning, this didn't have much meaning, it was just used to sense danger.

After all, under today's severe conditions, a strong physique is the most important thing.

It's just that most of these specially evolved people are monks in the Sunshine Pagoda.

And when these monks habitually practice daily, they accidentally discovered that the method of cultivating the mind that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Sunshine Pagoda can actually help them better control the power of thought, and even turn the power of thought into substance.

They began to call the strengthened mind power psionic power.

The turning point of the incident was that a figure at the level of a temple elder tried to use his mind to attack creatures, and found that he could easily wipe out the consciousness of creatures.

This is much stronger than ordinary physical means.

And the function of mind power does not stop there.

By controlling their thoughts, they can do many things that ordinary people cannot do. Just like the old man in gray robe, relying on his thoughts, he can keep the cold out.

Since then, psionic masters appeared and became the most honorable profession on Tianshuang Plateau.

And every week, the Sunshine Pagoda will conduct a selection activity for psionic masters, select qualified people, and teach the methods of psionic cultivation.

"But Zhuoma, since this method is so powerful, why not let everyone practice it?"

Chen Xuan was a little puzzled. After all, on the North Wind Plateau, whether it was gymnastics or other research results, they were basically shared, and there was nothing hidden.

"Ah, I heard this. It seems that there are certain requirements for cultivation. If ordinary people cultivate, they will be over-consumed due to insufficient spiritual power. This is not a good thing."

Dolma explained seriously.

Chen Xuan was slightly taken aback.

He hadn't thought about it.

Excessive consumption is like the life-burning medicine before, and the sequelae are huge.

He originally wanted to promote the ultra-ancient exercise technique he had learned, but now it seems that he really needs to study it first.

……

The old man in gray robe came to a door and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

A faint voice sounded, just listening to this voice seemed to calm people's mind.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened automatically.

The gray-robed old man entered the room, and there was nothing in the room except a few oil lamps, and in the center was an old man in a black robe sitting on an old futon.

The old man's eyes were closed tightly. Judging from his pale hair and wrinkles on his face, he should be older than the old man in gray robe.

The old man in gray robe first saluted with his arms crossed, and then said respectfully.

"Report to the Great Elder. During the selection process this time, I found a pretty good seedling. I have never seen such a powerful spiritual ability. The most important thing is that his physical fitness has also been strengthened at the same time."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

The old man in black robe slowly opened his eyes.
