Starship: Traveling with Monsters

"The matter of the gathering place in the east has been done, so I'm back." Xie Wei just got off the aircraft, holding his glasses and walking towards Ji Yan, but halfway he found that there was a stranger present, But it's not considered a stranger, because the face looks very familiar, unconsciously and uncontrollably, he glanced at the other person a few more times, and asked Ji Yan: "Who is this?"

Ji Yan licked her lips and smiled: "The new collection."

"Oh! I see." Xie Wei suddenly realized, so he stretched out his white-gloved hand to the 'new collection', and said hello politely: "We met a long time ago, I wonder if you still recognize me?" ? Mr. Lei Yu?"

Lei Yu was very silent, standing next to Ji Yan with his head down and not speaking, he didn't pay any attention to Xie Wei's extended hand, and didn't even look up at him.Xie Wei didn't take it seriously, and withdrew his hand, glanced at Ji Yan, his eyes under the lens bent into fox-like cunning curves: "My dear king, what have you done during my absence?"

Xie Wei's tone was vaguely unfriendly, which made Ji Yan a little guilty, and turned away with a snort, so he avoided Xie Wei's question openly, and gave a new order. He reached out and forcibly embraced Lei Yu who was standing beside him. Yu frowned and was reluctantly pushed in front of Xie Wei by Ji Yan.

"I don't like this new collection very much, but due to some personal issues, I can't kill him yet, so I will leave it to you for safekeeping." Ji Yan patted Xie Wei's shoulder vigorously, with a smirk on his face; "This guy is pregnant now, you'd better find a few skilled doctors to take care of him...don't let him run away, the little thing in his stomach is very valuable for research."

"Oh...Ji Yan." Xie Wei looked at Lei Yu with a speechless twitching face, then turned to look at Ji Yan, and asked with wide eyes in disbelief: "You actually fucked up a man while I was away abdomen?"

Ji Yan immediately frowned, and complained loudly: "Fuck your sister! God told me to make a man's belly bigger?! How could I have that kind of ability? Has your brain been eaten by zombies outside?!"

After complaining, Ji Yan took a deep breath to calm down her anger, shook her slightly messy feathers gracefully, and ordered arrogantly: "Anyway, don't ask so many questions, just do as I say!"

"Yes, I understand." Xie Wei immediately lowered his eyebrows and acted meekly.

Ji Yan got a satisfactory reply, so she nodded and couldn't wait to turn around and walk into the base. After taking two steps, she remembered something, and turned her head to look at Xie Wei.Said: "You can have a good talk with my collection, but you must bring him to the 'Dungeon' to meet me in two hours."

Xie Wei nodded to show that he understood, Ji Yan felt relieved, turned around and ran away swaggeringly.

Afterwards, Xie Wei led Lei Yu to the Central Hospital of Twilight City for a physical examination. He turned around and walked through several streets, and several patrolling guards spontaneously followed behind Xie Wei. Protective gesture fenced.The Central Hospital is not far away, so Xie Wei decided to strike up a conversation with Lei Yu while walking there.

"Mr. Lei Yu." Xie Wei put a hand on Lei Yu's shoulder and said politely, but Lei Yu didn't respond to this. He focused on the people coming and going on this street. It's normal, everyone's communication with each other seems to be extremely harmonious, it's hard for Lei Yu to imagine that they are really completely controlled by Ji Yan.

"Are you also under control?" Thinking of this, Lei Yu suddenly raised his head and asked Xie Wei beside him.

Xie Wei froze for a moment, then smiled mysteriously: "No, I don't."

"Aren't you human too?"

"Of course I am human." Xie Wei held Lei Yu's hand: "I have a pulse and temperature, do you feel it?"

Lei Yu felt it, Xie Wei's hand was very strong, he held the other's hand calmly, and asked, "Then why do you want to help him with these things?"

"Well...that's probably because..." Xie Wei stroked his chin and thought, "Because I'm just an ignorant and stupid follower."

Blindly worshiping such a creature, willing to give his all, is crazy and incomprehensible. Xie Wei himself does not understand why. He once wondered if Ji Yan treated him without his knowledge. Hypnotized or suggested, but after taking the initiative to ask, the answer was nothing, and Ji Yan had no reason to lie to him.

Everything is your own autonomous behavior.

"I don't understand." Lei Yu frowned and looked at Xie Wei.

"You don't need to understand me, Lei Yu." Xie Wei spread his hands; "To a large extent, I am just a passer-by in your life."

After entering the Central Hospital of Twilight City, Lei Yu was led to do various examinations. After a lot of trouble, the examination report came out. Xie Wei stood in front of him with Lei Yu's examination report and looked up and down. Said seriously: "Your body is not bad, generally speaking, but I guess you have suffered a lot of injuries, which makes you a little weak, and the little thing in your stomach doesn't even have a prototype, so don't worry about it for now, by the way , do you want to meet Ah Zi? He is waiting for you outside."

Xie Wei's words made Lei Yu silent for a long time before nodding.Xie Wei sighed, opened the door and let Lei Yu go out: "You guys have a good chat, I won't bother you anymore." After speaking, he closed the door.

As soon as Lei Yu looked up, he saw Ah Zi standing in front of him, with his tail neatly put away, this time the cover was even tighter, even gloves were put on to cover his sharp claws and nails.Lei Yu only glanced at it, then lowered his head in silence, but Ah Zi became anxious, and rushed over to hug Lei Yu.Muttering in his mouth: "Yu, Yu... Lei Yu."

Lei Yu smiled slightly: "You remember my name."

"I'm sorry." AhZi held back for a long time before saying this, she didn't know how to face the person in front of her, even hugging seemed to be a luxury.

"Needless to say I'm sorry, you've done a good job, I'm the one who's useless." Lei Yu comforted him, touching Ah Zi's cheek.Then he grabbed his paw and put it on his stomach, raised his head and said, "Your child."

Ah Zi burst into tears suddenly.

Just like real children, whimpering, helpless, hysterical.

Lei Yu seldom sees Ah Zi crying, his Ah Zi is stronger than him, but at the same time weaker than him, all the things that he can't do will make Ah Zi feel sad, Lei Yu is unconsciously at a loss, Ah Zi Standing there pitifully and crying all the time, Lei Yu's heart ached, and he wiped Ah Zi's tears with the sleeve of his clothes, but there were more and more tears.

Lei Yu became more and more gentle, and hugged him: "Don't cry, you didn't do anything wrong, why are you crying?"

"I love you."

"I know...I know." I know, Ah Zi.

No one in this world can love me like you do.

Two hours later, Xie Wei led Lei Yu to meet Ji Yan as ordered.According to Xie Wei, the so-called 'underground city' is a literal meaning. Ji Yan spent two years using some kind of 'underground city' built by the highest technology in the universe, which is beyond the reach of earth science and technology.

The entrance of the underground city is in an old air-raid shelter in Twilight City. This air-raid shelter was built during the World War and left behind. It is a safe and hidden underground entrance, and this entrance is very large. It is impossible for two cars to drive in side by side. question.

There are many people standing guard at the underground entrance and patrolling. This is the most heavily guarded place Lei Yu has ever seen in Twilight City. There are not only several checkpoints on the way here, infrared detection equipment, anti-invisibility equipment... There are many more Soldiers patrolled day and night, a fortress that no one or any creature could approach.

"This is what Ji Yan pays more attention to. If someone kicks me, I think I will suffer." Xie Wei and Lei Yu came in by car, and Xie Wei said so when he didn't know how many checkpoints he had passed. , and he also reminded Lei Yu: "You have to be mentally prepared."

But no matter how prepared Lei Yu was, when he entered the dungeon, he was still shocked by what he saw.

To put it simply, there is actually only one thing in the dungeon, but to put it in a complicated way, there are many such things.

Lots and lots of white, huge, human-tall eggs!It is indeed an egg, a huge egg-shaped life form produced by some kind of creature. Its color is white and almost transparent. The shell is not hard, but soft to the touch. Resilient and quickly returns to a smooth surface.

And there is more than one egg of this kind. When Lei Yu was standing in the dungeon, he glanced over and saw that they were arranged densely and neatly, and he couldn't see the edge. Lei Yu couldn't even imagine how big this dungeon was, let alone imagine it. How many of these so-called 'eggs' do they have?

"These...what are these?" Lei Yu looked at a huge egg standing beside him. Its appearance was almost the same as that of an ordinary egg, the only difference was that it was more than ten times bigger. It stood on the ground slightly inclined. I also noticed that there are black tubes as thick as wrists on the feet of these eggs connected to the chassis of the giant eggs. These tubes are laid in a criss-cross pattern on the ground, connected with each giant egg, and step on it with one foot. It was also soft, like a blood vessel, which made Lei Yu feel sick in vain.

"Before the end of the world comes, it is indeed possible to design it with the technology of your earth..." Ji Yan suddenly appeared from nowhere, and said such a preamble out of nowhere Before Lei Yu could understand the words, Ji Yan continued, "Have you heard of holographic online games?"

"Holographic online game?" Lei Yu was stunned, and thought about it for a while, "You mean a whole series of simulated online games developed by a certain game company one year before the World War—'God's Domain'?"

Before the outbreak of the world war to unify the whole world, the earth was still divided into various regions of countless countries. Although many places were also fighting again and again, people in peaceful countries still lived ordinary lives. Computers at that time , It is no longer something like a mouse, keyboard, and screen, but a projected stereoscopic image. You can perform various operations on the stereoscopic image, and it is generally voice-activated. There is something like an auxiliary computer.

At that time, a world-renowned game company developed the 'holographic online game', which used an egg-shaped game cabin to log in to the online game. People could sit in a thing that resembled an egg, just like the giant that Lei Yu sees now. Something similar to an egg, with a lid that can be opened and people can sit in. After entering, the brain can connect to the virtual server, and then you can smoothly enter the virtual game and start different fantasy adventures.

However, less than a year after the development and launch of this holographic online game, the governments of various countries took back or destroyed the game cabin on the charge of 'anti-humanity', and the company that developed the game also collapsed overnight.

The reason is also very simple, because this whole series of online games has a fatal flaw. The equipment in the game cabin scans the data of the whole body of the human body, and then reflects the simulated modification of this data to the brain.That is to say, all kinds of communication actions you make in the game, such as sound, smell, and touch, are simulated by special equipment in the game cabin for the brain to receive the action signal, making your brain think that you can really hear this kind of communication. Sound, smell this smell, feel this touch, in order to achieve the real effect of holographic online games.

Similarly, the feeling of death can also be faked through signal simulation.And this is precisely the huge flaw of this game. Even though the game company has considered this point in advance, so they set up the death penalty and pain reduction adjustment program in the game, but unpredictable errors still occurred. Who intentionally or unintentionally turned off the pain adjustment system of the entire server. During the day, all players who died or were injured in the game felt the most realistic pain system, which caused the players' brains to think that the pain of death is It's true, so they can never wake up again in reality.

This incident caused the deaths of more than 1000 players and caused huge chaos in the society. This game called "God's Domain" was banned by many governments after that. One of the fuses started a war that lasted nearly 30 years.

The world war consumed countless resources and sacrificed countless lives, leaving the entire earth riddled with holes. Not only that, because of this war, the earth's technology has been set back by 100 years, and the development of economy, culture, history, etc. has fallen to the earth. The lowest point in history, countless pain and hatred, has always been entangled in this land, until today.
