Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 264 The final choice
Chen Xuan came here all the way along the magma lake, and the black shadow in front of him was obviously an ultra-ancient city.

It's finally here.

Thinking that he would soon be able to witness the ultra-ancient city with his own eyes, he couldn't help but get excited.

There is also a world of higher dimensions, how do they go now?

Is it going to tear a big hole in the sky like it did 10,000+ years ago?

But I must be the first witness.

However, at this moment, a loud roar came, interrupting Chen Xuan's imagination.

His heart trembled, and he looked towards the source of the voice.

I saw a huge, thick and elongated creature constantly moving and swimming in the distance.

The head is like a human skull, the two rows of white teeth, the faintly visible sickle-like structure around the face, and the body shape like a dragon.

Everything is so familiar.

This... This is the huge sea beast that appeared under the influence of memory and under the mist of miasma.

However, originally the monster's body should be red and white, but at this moment, those white parts seemed to be burnt, showing a piece of charcoal black.

Although the physical condition of this sea beast has changed a lot, Chen Xuan still recognized it at a glance.

"what?"

The ultra-ancient conscious body in his mind suddenly spoke, with a rare hint of surprise in his tone.

"It's actually Sea Emperor Dragon, it's an old friend."

"This creature is called Sea Emperor Dragon? No, in the image I saw before, shouldn't this creature live in the ocean? How did it get to the ground?"

"We are not the only ones who moved underground. In order to maintain life, many creatures have migrated to the lower areas. However, in order to adapt to the underground environment, the Neptune Dragon seems to have made a lot of changes over the years."

"The former overlord of the sea has turned into such a ghost. I really didn't expect it, but speaking of it, we are not much better..."

The ultra-ancient conscious body in his mind is beyond embarrassing.

"Then it won't attack." Chen Xuan asked nervously.

Such a powerful creature, if it fights, it may not be sure.

"No, although the Sea Emperor Dragon is not weak in terms of spirit, it is still not as good as the ghost dragon. Otherwise, we could just study the Sea Emperor Dragon directly."

"Besides, haven't you activated the 'quantum combat module' now, what's so scary about the Sea Emperor Dragon?"

"That, because I don't think you guys are very reliable."

"what?"

……

Chen Xuan tried his best to avoid the moving range of Haihuanglong, and slowly approached in a roundabout way.

And the huge black shadow in front gradually revealed its specific appearance.

The first thing that catches the eye is the metal fence that is so tall that it almost runs through the world. Against the backdrop of the distorted firelight, these gray metal walls look like they are about to be melted.

However, it is a little different from the impression that the super ancient city was not capped, but a huge dome was installed on the building in front of it.

Perhaps it was a change made to adapt to life in the underground world.

After adding the top, it really looks like a huge spaceship.

In a world of red and black and flames everywhere, this metal building looks quite domineering.

Although I saw it once in a memory image, but now I see you with my own eyes, it still feels shocking.

Another time has passed.

Far away, Chen Xuan had already seen a huge blue light gate on the city wall.

That should be the gate of the city.

Judging by the size, it is enough to accommodate two "Kunpeng" ships to enter and leave freely.

However, as Chen Xuan approached, some details became clearer.

He found that in front of the light gate, there was a curtain made up of laser beams, full of a posture of prohibiting entry.

It would be a bit mentally handicapped if you forced your way.

This mechanism still has to be handled by the old guys.

But before he even opened his mouth, the ultra-ancient conscious body acted on its own.

A blue cube floated out of the head and flew straight to a gap next to the light gate.

Then, the laser light on the light gate dissipated.

Chen Xuan drove the boat in, and the blue light flashed back into his body again.

After entering, there is a metal passage, which is not very big, and there is a solid metal wall in front of it.

And there is a little light above the passage, and the opening of the passage should be on the top.

Chen Xuan continued to dive all the way up, and after a while, he surfaced and came to an extremely wide hall.

Here, Chen Xuan also found dozens of submarines similar to his "Kunpeng".

This place appears to be a pier.

The pier in front of me was completely made up of machinery, and it looked much more solemn than the stone pier on the North Wind Plateau.

But then, he can only walk.

Chen Xuan stopped the ship, reached out and touched the depression on the right wall of the cab, and collected all the "energy crystals" generated by thermal power generation during this period into the system space.

After thinking about it, he left Baobao on the cabin.

Then, Chen Xuan picked up the scarlet gun and walked slowly along the passage.

The passage is not dark, it is no different from the passage we walked in the experimental base before, with blue light as illumination.

But when he walked out of the passage, everything changed suddenly.

Numerous buildings and pavilions stand at the foot, there are shady green trees, roads extending in all directions, and warm sunlight sprinkles from the top of the head.

Obviously, the scene outside the city is like purgatory, but inside the city, the years are quiet and beautiful, as bright as spring, as if returning to land.

Chen Xuan went down the stairs and walked on the streets of the city.

The ultra-ancient architectural style is very different from the modern one. People in the past liked to use magnetic energy fine gold mixed metal as building materials, while modern people prefer reinforced concrete.

Because of this, the buildings around are less brightly colored, but they have a different kind of mechanical beauty.

And there are no high-rise buildings here, most of the houses have only two or three floors.

At this moment, the surroundings are very quiet. You can hear the sound of the fountain flowing, the slight sound of the wind, and the sound of leaves.

I have to say that the city is beautifully built, like a park, clean and tidy, perhaps there is also artificial intelligence here.

But the only problem was that he couldn't hear the slightest human voice here.

In the huge city, he was the only living person at this moment.

This feeling, as if after waking up, the development of other people suddenly evaporated, it was inexplicably weird.

"Where should I go next?" Chen Xuan asked.

"As long as you go straight along this road, you will reach the central square of the city, which is the final destination."

Chen Xuan thought for a while, then asked again.

"Speaking of, old guys, I have a question?"

"Ok?"

"You left the earth before because the energy in the environment was not enough to maintain your evolutionary level, right? But now that the earth's environment has changed and the energy has increased significantly, are you still leaving?"

"Indeed, the energy in the environment is slowly recovering, and it should be able to return to the peak level at that time soon."

"However, I think you should be able to understand that once the door of curiosity is opened, it is difficult to close it. Since we already know the world of higher dimensions, how could we not go there and have a look?"

"Also, the Earth is no longer the home we used to be."

……

Finally, Chen Xuan came to the so-called city central square.

The floor here is purely made of metal, with countless deep lines on it.

In this wide place, which is nearly the size of five football fields, the most eye-catching thing is the huge light gate standing in the center.

In the middle of the thick metal door frame, rippled blue light rippling.

On both sides of the light gate, there are hundreds of huge blue capsules, and there seems to be something inside.

At this time, Chen Xuan only felt that his brain seemed to suddenly become relaxed.

And the streamer emerged from his body, then went down, surged up the lines on the floor and ran around.

The floor plus the streamer is like an activated terminal, and countless currents are passing through it.

And these streamers were finally submerged in the blue capsules.

When the streamer completely disappeared, Chen Xuan suddenly felt life signals appearing in his perception one after another.

At the same time, those blue capsules wriggled and split open on the spot, turning into countless humans in blue robes.

The ultra-ancient human beings have completely recovered at this moment.

At this time, a leader-like person walked out of the crowd, who looked to be about the same age as Chen Xuan, with a face like a crown of jade, and an extraordinary appearance.

"Hello, Chen Xuan, it's the first time we meet, my name is Ode."

"Chen Xuan, on behalf of everyone, I thank you for your help."

After all, he bowed slightly to Chen Xuan, and behind him, thousands of super ancient humans were doing the same.

Chen Xuan's eyes were rounded, his throat rolled, and he asked Ode.

"So, you are now completely reborn?"

"It can't be counted. Just like the Sea Dragon Emperor you saw before, we are actually not the original body now. We just created this human-like body through the research of other creatures."

"However, we are satisfied to be able to continue living in this body."

At this time, Oude suddenly made a "please" gesture to Chen Xuan.

"Chen Xuan, come with us to a higher-dimensional world, where the technology level is more developed and the environment is better."

Is it a high-dimensional world...

Looking at the light gate in front of him, Chen Xuan's eyes flickered, and his heart was very complicated.

As the ultra-ancient consciousness said, once curiosity is opened, it is difficult to contain it.

If you can stand on a higher ground, no one wants to do it.

And at this moment, if he takes this step, it can basically be said that he will reach the sky in one step.

only……

The faces that I have come into contact with come to my mind one after another at this moment.

From the head of the orphanage, college classmates, to Xu Feng who met after the end of the world, several professors, Shui Bao, Bao Bao, and Xu Qing...

Chen Xuan's eyes gradually changed from confusion to firmness.

"Thank you, but I still want to stay here. Although the high-dimensional world is very good, this is my home after all."

"Home, um... I see, then you are here to help us take good care of this beautiful planet."

"By the way, there are some things you may need."

As if thinking of something, Ode added, and at the same time his eyes suddenly burst into bright light.

Then, Chen Xuan's eyes blurred, and he only felt a slight burst of pain in his brain.

There seemed to be something more in my mind.

This is……

"This is the developer permission of the auxiliary program and the administrator permission of the city, which will be helpful to you."

"So that's it...thanks."

"The future will be handed over to you. This city is the last trace of us on this earth, and it is also a passage for you. We will open this door for you again in the future."

"If one day, some of you want to enter the high-dimensional world, you might as well come here and have a look."

"Goodbye, Chen Xuan."

After all, all the ultra-ancient human beings walked into the light gate one by one, like a stone sinking into the sea.

As Ode, who was walking at the end, also entered the light gate, the square returned to an empty state, and the blue capsules disappeared.

Everything seems to be a dream.

Chen Xuan stared blankly at the huge light door in front of him.

Those guys are gone...

For some reason, he suddenly felt a little lost.

The ultra-ancient city, after a short bustling period, returned to silence again.

A huge sense of loneliness quickly surrounded him, as if it was going to swallow him up.

Chen Xuan didn't want to stay here anymore.

He ran back to the pier along the way he had come.

Get on board and go.

As soon as he got back outside, he saw the thick and long sea dragon emperor again from a distance.

The super ancient humans have all left, but the Sea Dragon Emperor is still here.

Survive day and night in this purgatory-like place.

Chen Xuan suddenly felt sad for Emperor Hailong.

What is the meaning of such a long life?
……

After sailing all the way, Chen Xuan finally returned to the sea.

Having lived under the sea for a long time, the sky now looks particularly blue in his eyes.

At this time, a huge iron pole was standing on the sea in the distance.

Chen Xuan looked at the familiar iron rod.

Going around, I didn't expect to return to Dinghong City.

This is the TV Tower in Dinghong City, and it is also his first stop.

Once here, he put down some of his daily necessities.

But now, countless large and small packages are hanging on that solitary metal pole.

It seems that someone should have taken the supplies it left behind and left something new.

Hope is a good thing, and good things don't disappear, they are passed on.

Then, Chen Xuan went all the way north, and soon came to the vicinity of the North Wind Plateau.

From a distance, you can see hundreds of ships patrolling the sea, like a fleet.

Obviously, people on the North Wind Plateau have stepped up their efforts to explore the ocean.

After being away for a long time, and now returning to the North Wind Plateau, Chen Xuan felt inexplicably different.

Because the "Kunpeng" was too different from other ships, in order not to arouse suspicion, Chen Xuan slightly deformed the "Kunpeng" into the same style as other ships.

Then he came to the pier.

It has also become completely new here, the trebuchets have disappeared, replaced by mechanical devices one by one.

Only one thing hasn't changed.

At this time, I saw a familiar figure watching from afar at the pier.

It was Xu Qing who hadn't seen him for a long time.

Seeing Chen Xuan, Xu Qing's eyes instantly burst into intense brilliance, and he trotted over quickly.

"Brother Chen Xuan, you are finally back! I knew that you would definitely come back!"
