The world enters the age of mythology.

"The signal brought by the crow should be correct. This night, it will be extremely dangerous."

But since the other party only stopped at the edge and did not directly enter the Nightmare Continent, it also meant that they also seemed to know that the Nightmare Disaster in the Nightmare Continent was difficult to deal with.

This dilemma is actually exactly the same as that of the Sea of ​​Clouds.

"The other party is a serious civilization, don't underestimate their wisdom. They are likely to be like us, cautiously testing the disaster here."

"It seems that we should be the first to discover them. Is there any possibility of cooperation between the two sides?" Ding Yuan said on the rostrum, "The distance between the two sides is currently 4000 kilometers, which is still quite far..."

"I think that the other party's dialogue in the current state is not necessarily friendly. It is not recommended to ask for cooperation hastily. It should not even expose us."

"Under the current state, the two sides should live their own lives." It was Lu Yiming who spoke, and seeing this sudden appearance of civilization, he was actually very uncomfortable.

This is an instinctive reaction like a beast.

Seeing some skeptical people around, he explained: "Because our original plan was to hibernate collectively, through the rotation of a small number of people, to slowly get through this year. We will wait until the daytime in Yanghe before we go out. "

"As long as there are no mistakes in the middle, we have a high probability of successfully implementing this plan. After all, this is a very reliable plan that has been fully tested. As long as it is implemented smoothly, the death rate will not be high, right?"

"Yes." Ding Yuan nodded.

The hibernation plan has been carefully arranged and demonstrated, and it is a plan with a high probability of success.

Lu Yiming continued: "You know, after the collective hibernation, our combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened, and the number of soldiers will drop from the current 5000 to a few hundred, which is an order of magnitude less. The industrial capacity is almost zero. You can only rely on the current resource reserves to live. It is very good to be able to maintain the safety of electricity."

"Fortunately, our reserves are still sufficient, and the collective hibernation, the amount of resources consumed is not much."

"In such a situation where our strength is declining, what good is it to contact the other party rashly? If we let the other party know that we are hibernating, what will they think? If they don't have a good way to deal with nightmares, what will they think? ?”

Lu Yiming's voice became louder and louder, and he slapped the table heavily: "It is absolutely impossible for me to control our fate on the other side's morality."

"There are too many people in the world who can't see the good of others. For some people, if they are going to die, they may drag others to die together, so that they can get psychological comfort. We don't know what the turtle ship is. What's going on, I don't know if they can solve the nightmare disaster, anyway, ensuring our own safety is the most important thing."

"What if they don't have a solution to the nightmare disaster at all?"

Chapter 355 Hibernation Begins

After Lu Yiming finished speaking, the conference room fell into silence.

Indeed, if you encounter a strange civilization in normal times, you will approach it carefully no matter what, whether it is for more information or something else...

Even cloning a giant tortoise would be fine!

It is not easy for everyone to wander in this ghostly place. As long as there is no great conflict of interest and everyone is human, there is actually no major problem in trading.

But now this kind of environment is very depressing, and flying separately is the true portrayal of disaster.

Yunhai felt that he was richer and had a way to survive disasters, and was afraid of being missed by the other party.

The other party, perhaps the same.

"If the other party also has a way to survive the disaster, and we suddenly go to say hello, will the other party think the same as us? The answer is yes, they will guard us and worry about us."

"It would be even worse if the other party didn't have a way to survive the disaster. We don't know what will happen in the desperate situation."

This passage is easy to understand, and its correctness is self-evident. Everyone is racking their brains to think about it.

"What if, I mean, what if..." one of the scientists spread his hands, "what if the other party has a better way to avoid disaster? Is there really no chance of cooperation? What if their method is better than ours?" How about hibernation?"

Hibernation is just a barely so-so plan, provided that everyone spends a month in rotation.

But until now, people have not found so many qualified lucid dream controllers.

If you are not proficient in lucid dream manipulation, you will die in a nightmare. This is a big hidden danger.

There may be a huge risk if there are not enough personnel to maintain the Yunhai.

So it must have a 100% success rate, so that it can barely last for a month or two.

Lu Yiming shook his head and said, "Well, what I mean is, even if the other party has a better plan to fight the nightmare, so what? Will we believe it for no reason? For example, the other party has a mysterious superpower, Can resist the nightmare, will we make concessions?"

"Let's not talk about whether the other party will make a deal with us. In this case, the lion must open his mouth. We will have to pay a huge price... And, will we fully follow this plan? It must be impossible."

"Once we enter the Nightmare Continent, can we guarantee that the other party will keep their promise?"

"If the other party tampers with this process, we will die! Die in a nightmare! They can get everything from us completely. Isn't this motivation enough?"

"We're bound to have a mistrust of it."

"In this case, even if our hibernation plan is a bit rotten, it can still be used, and there is no need for cooperation."

"Yes, Lu Yiming is right." Ding Yuan nodded.

After discussing like this for a while, everyone chose the "silence plan", that is, they agreed with Lu Yiming's point of view.

Since there is nothing to cooperate in this situation, let the two ships go through their own disasters as if they did not observe each other.

"Hey, this kind of thing is really troublesome. I didn't expect to meet another civilization in this predicament."

"I'm thinking, should I take the lead and give them a nuclear bomb." When he came out of the meeting room, Shi Dayong was still a little worried.

If the Yunhai really hibernates a large number of people, and its industrial and war capabilities decline sharply, but the opponent calls, how should it be dealt with?

For a normal person to wake up from hibernation, he needs to lie in bed for a long time. Even if it is to strengthen the physical fitness of human beings, it will take 20 hours to regain mobility.

In this case, if an emergency occurs, it is impossible to urgently wake up a large number of people to join the battle immediately.

"Launching a nuclear bomb seems a bit extreme... If you can't kill the opponent, you will never die."

Lu Yiming shook his head: "We don't have intercontinental missiles here, and there is no satellite guidance in space. The opponent is 5000 kilometers away from us. How can we hit the opponent?"

"That's true."

Lu Yiming also sighed: "That's why I think that the emergence of an unknown civilization here is not a good thing for us. There are a lot of variables for no reason. If we follow the original trajectory, we don't need to worry so much at all."

Take it one step at a time.

In this way, time passed day after day...

The reconnaissance balloon hanging in the sky took a large number of photos, and returned the information continuously to the Sea of ​​Clouds.

It can be seen that there are indeed many human beings living in the huge turtle ship, and these working people are constantly harvesting the plants grown on the surface of the turtle shell to prepare for the future night.The skin of these people is a bit white, it can be said that they are a kind of white-skinned human beings, and the costumes on them are also very weird, like the pharaoh costumes of ancient Egypt.

However, the scout balloons suspended in the sky have no power, and are only suspended by air buoyancy.

A few days later, the hot air balloon floated far away.

In the end, only the outline of a huge tortoise shell could be vaguely detected.This is also an unavoidable thing.

And the Sea of ​​Clouds has not been idle. In addition to the nationwide training of Lucid Dream, it has also urgently formulated some countermeasures for foreign contacts.

Since there are supernatural phenomena in this world, it is actually normal for the other party to discover them in a special way.

What should you do if the other party knows your existence?

It is not wise to attack directly.

So, the Sea of ​​Clouds formulated some emergency contact plans, discussed the relevant details, and appointed several responsible persons.In the hibernation stage, these few awake leaders are the supreme commanders.

About a week later, the large-scale hibernation work officially started!

Those who really don't have the talent for lucid dreaming don't need to practice any more, they can just hibernate earlier.

Eating is not allowed a few days before hibernation, the human stomach needs to be emptied, and no food residue is allowed.

Fortunately, the overall age of Yunhai is relatively young, and the oldest is only in his 60s. There is no such thing as 80 or [-] years old. It is not a big problem for everyone to go hungry for a few days before hibernating.

After emptying the stomach and intestines, the doctor will inject special hibernation drugs into the hibernator, and the person will become groggy and unconscious.

In a low temperature environment, the cells are slightly dehydrated and the metabolic rate is greatly reduced.

"It's okay, after waking up, we will reach a safe environment."

"Go to sleep, go to sleep."

Lu Yiming settled down with his parents and a large group of relatives. Except for Jin Lili, who has a talent for lucid dreaming, the others are not good at all, especially middle-aged and elderly people.

These people really look like frozen meat in the refrigerator...

After the human body is dehydrated, its appearance is naturally not very good-looking. Even a young girl like Ye Qingqing's face looks like she is five or sixty years old, just like shriveled zombies.

During hibernation, human metabolism did not disappear completely, but decreased to less than one percent of its original level, with an average heartbeat of less than one minute, very slow.

"I hope everyone can spend the winter well."

"Goodbye."

The hibernation of 16 people was arranged for a total of 7 days.

"You're done there?"

"Yes, it's done. The Sea of ​​Clouds has never been so clean, I'm really not used to it."

Everyone was in a strange mood. They usually felt that the Yunhai was very crowded, and 17 people lived and lived here, which really seemed a bit small.But now, when there are only a few thousand people left, it feels big and empty again.

If you are a little timid, you may not dare to go out.

The suspenders, who are flying around like flies, are a little unhappy.It itself lived by absorbing the panic energy of human beings. As a result, the population has shrunk greatly, and it can only be sick.

At this moment, the sky was completely dark, and Yanghe once again fell into an abnormal tranquility.The huge ocean has turned into a pool of stagnant water, without any waves anymore. Such a quiet environment makes people feel a strong sense of uneasiness for no reason.

However, according to the observation of the hot air balloon, the huge turtle ship on the other side did not directly enter the nightmare world.

So the Sea of ​​Clouds also followed suit, and if it could spend a little more time here, it would do as much as it could.

All the sober people are still hurrying up and doing all kinds of lucid dream training.

Up to now, there are still only more than 2000 people who have barely mastered this technique, and the anxious high-level personnel are about to scold their mothers.This has something to do with personal talent and mental strength, and it is generally easier for people with superpowers to learn this skill.

Ordinary strengthened soldiers are a bit more difficult.

Some people have a 30% success rate, and some even have a 15% success rate, but it doesn't work at all.According to 90 days a month, if you sleep once every two days, you have to sleep [-] times. Even with a [-]% success rate, it means that you will still fail a little more than once on average!

This failure is tantamount to death!

Therefore, even a 90% success rate is unqualified!

At present, the success rate is close to 100%, that is, more than 1000 people.With such a sober population, it is true that everyone is not so at ease in their hearts.

Currently there are 2000 people on hand, barely 100. Basically, it can be said that 150% of the human beings have mastered lucid dreaming skills. If each person is scheduled for a month, each shift will only have [-] people. Is it really enough?

After another two days like this, after confirming that the remaining people could not increase the success rate in a short period of time, they could only be arranged to hibernate urgently.

There are also some schedulers who have begun to hibernate one after another after finishing their final work.

As the number of sober people on the Yunhai decreased significantly, the environment became colder and colder. Even the cooking staff in the cafeteria disappeared, making all the sober people always have a very strange feeling, coming to the end of the era illusion.

This deserted feeling makes people more and more unaccustomed.

Chapter 356

In the case of sparse population, in order to reduce unnecessary risks, most of the lower residential areas are cut off from water and electricity, and are no longer inhabited.

Every room in the Sea of ​​Clouds is pasted with yellow paper.

Traces of yellow paper can be seen in almost every corner of corridors, halls, parks and various public places.Since most of the areas are closed and no longer open to the public, as long as the on-duty personnel patrol a circle every day.

These dense yellow papers are pasted on the wall, which looks quite strange, like special runes to suppress some kind of evil zombie king in zombie movies.

But there is no way, this thing is the only defensive item that humans can produce in large quantities. In case something goes wrong, will it really have some defensive effect?

This kind of desolation at the environmental level is all-round, even the aunt in the cafeteria has hibernated, so that everyone can no longer enjoy exquisite meals, and can only cook something casually to fill their stomachs.

It is actually quite a nostalgic day to have enough food and clothing by yourself.Many people are used to eating in the cafeteria, and they don't know how to cook.

So after choosing for a long time, Guo Weiqiang and three small soldiers volunteered to be temporary test cooks.

"Actually, when I was a soldier, I had a dream, that is, to be a cook in the canteen and eat delicious food every day."

Guo Weiqiang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and secretly ate an egg, "Especially when Xia Guo was still there, being a cook is so easy, and you don't need to train all day long."

"You think so beautifully!" Li Yao's face twitched, and while peeling the carrots in hand, he said with a sneer, "Didn't you know that when the superiors do random checks, all they get are cooks?"

"Only soldiers with the best performance in physical training dare to work in the cafeteria. Otherwise, if they fail the spot check, the entire company will be scolded."

"Ah, so it is!"

"Either cook a pot of stewed pork vermicelli, add some green vegetables, ham sausage, carrots, and add a fish roe per person, the nutrition is enough."

Guo Weiqiang secretly took a sip.
