The meteor hammer failed to take effect, and the mechanical arm fell silent again. Hearing the call, Little Red Riding Hood took an uneasy step and crossed the threshold of the villa, "Mr. Earthfly, where are you?"

"I'm here."

There was a conversation between the two in the fog. Jin Huiying gritted her teeth and rushed out of the house towards the thick fog.

At the end of the fog was a two-meter-high black metal door with a turntable and hinges, similar to a submarine watertight door.

"Irrfan and even Halle, who were eliminated first, did not die. They were transported away."

Li Sheng knocked on the metal door with his knuckles, the sound was dull and hollow. He clenched his fist to reduce the range of the fog concealment technique, turned around and walked to the edge of the thick fog, looked at the villa, and said to the mechanical arm that stayed there: "And if Annie, Leonardo and the others hadn't messed around, even by the end of the reality show, there would be no No need to really die. Am I right?"

"." The radio narrator fell into silence and said nothing.

"Are you pretending to be cool?" Li Sheng curled his lips and took out a detonator, "This device can simultaneously detonate the IED bombs buried in the villa, blowing up all the remaining houses into the sky. Even with the current wasteland civilization, With the level of technology, it will take a lot of effort to restore a villa with a 21st century aesthetic.”

The radio vibrated slightly, and a calm narration came from it, "...what do you want."

"A small house of 80 square meters, and a good and gentle wife. The children can go to college smoothly and have a good job after graduation."

Hearing the narrator's question, Li Sheng sang subconsciously. As he sang, he realized that the occasion was not right. He coughed a few times in embarrassment amid the confused expressions on Little Red Riding Hood and Jin Huiying's faces, and said seriously: "I only have two requests. One , tell me what's outside this sealed door.

Second, let me see what your so-called new humanity looks like. "

Time passed bit by bit, and the atmosphere was as oppressive as an ice cellar. Finally, the robotic arm moved, holding the TV screen out of the villa, and a narration came from it, "There is only misfortune and misery outside the door. Once that door is opened, it means You can never go back.

On the contrary, if you continue to stay in the villa, you can still live an ordinary life peacefully and happily. "

Li Sheng grinned, "Huh? Keeping us in captivity is what the program team calls a 'mysterious gift'?"

Jin Huiying's heart moved slightly. The goal of this mission is just to abide by the rules of the game and survive until the end of the game. If you follow what the narrator says, you can successfully pass the level.

She intentionally tugged at the corner of Li Sheng's clothes that the camera could not capture, but the latter took two steps back, walked back to the watertight door, leaned against the door and said lightly: "I don't think there will be thousands of meters of water outside the door." The pressure on the seabed is huge, and one does not think that the outside will be a desolate wasteland with excessive radiation and full of mutated creatures.

Just like I don't think you are human beings. "

Li Sheng's tone was calm, not accusing the program crew of inhumane behavior, but more like describing a fact.

"." The narration was silent again.

"Don't you want to say yes?"

Li Sheng smiled and turned to look at Little Red Riding Hood, "Do you still remember the background of this reality show?"

"Remember."

Little Red Riding Hood tilted her head and tried to recall, "[In 2077, the increasing depletion of oil resources led to the outbreak of the war. Thousands of nuclear bombs shuttled through the atmosphere, planting artificial suns one after another, and dark clouds of radiation blocked the sky. Humanity Toward the end]

[A genius scientist emerged from nowhere, solved all problems except mutants, and brought the declining civilization of the earth back on track. He was regarded as the messiah and savior by all tribes and city-states in the wasteland. Order was re-established, the city was revitalized, starships were even built in the space base, and plans to colonize and explore outer space were implemented]

[The only problem is how to continue human civilization]

[That is, the Wasteland Love Dating Variety Live Reality Show]"

"Very complete, but unfortunately incorrect." Li Sheng corrected with a smile: "The last sentence is the broadcast system."

"?!" Little Red Riding Hood thought about it, her face full of astonishment, and she said in astonishment: "The background sound of the radio took over the briefing?"

"That's right, it's set up like this so that we can get it wrong."

In script assignments, only the briefing is absolutely true. Li Sheng said: "If you understand this clearly, you can get a quite subtle answer."

Little Red Riding Hood was still thinking, but Jin Huiying reacted and her eyes widened.

"According to conventional understanding, in order to continue human civilization, a wasteland romance reality show must be held to set a love example for young men and women in the wasteland, in order to increase the marriage rate and fertility rate.

But the above evidence has proven that old and new humans are completely different species. Calling old humans to film a love story for new humans is as absurd as trying to maintain the marriage rate by raising the divorce threshold.

Unless the meaning of this sentence is really just the literal meaning. We, the reality show contestants, are needed to continue [human civilization]."

He deliberately emphasized the last four words, and as slow as Little Red Riding Hood, he realized something, "We are human civilization?!"

"To be precise, we are pre-human civilization." Li Sheng whistled and looked at the TV screen in the distance with a smile.

finally,

Zila——

The screen lit up, and what appeared on it was no longer an advertisement, but the face of a cat girl.

It has a humanoid skull outline, larger and rounder eye sockets than humans, vertical green pupils, a pair of normal human ears, and a pair of animal ears protruding from the hair.

There is a layer of shallow gray hair on the surface of the cheek, the mouth is three-lobed, and there are beards on both sides.

Compared with the beast-eared girls in real earth literary and artistic works (such as "Wolf and Spice", "Chocolate and Vanilla"), the degree of animalization has increased slightly, but it has not caused the uncanny valley effect.

The cat girl was wearing a suit and tie, and beside her there were some demi-humans with the characteristics of cats and dogs, as if they were busy in a studio.

Some of them had weak fluorescence on their bodies, and they had obviously just drank Quantum Coke recently.

"Haha, it turns out that this is what the new humans mean."

Li Sheng smiled and nodded, "Then we old humans."

The cat girl in the suit said calmly: "You are all purebred humans from the past era who were preserved in cryogenic institutions before the nuclear war."

In the 1960s on the real earth, the United States published a book called "The Prospect of Immortality," which triggered a craze for cryopreservation.

Some deceased people who have ordered a freezing package will be sent to a freezing facility immediately after death. First, the blood and water in the human body are replaced with a cryoprotectant, and then the protective agent is converted into a solid glassy substance to prevent ice crystals from damaging cells. Finally, the human body is moved into a cryogenic incubator and liquid nitrogen is added regularly. Long-term preservation.

People who book a package just want to wait until fifty, one hundred, or two hundred years later, when technology is highly developed, and someone will resurrect them.

There are not only the dead who are dying soon, but also rich people who are suffering from diseases, and some powerful people who are not suffering from disasters and diseases, who simply feel that they have had enough fun in the real world and want to "travel" to the future world to continue enjoying it.

Well, at least in the contemporary time of the real earth, this technology is far from reaching a mature level. It can't even thaw a quick-frozen living person immediately, let alone an old popsicle that has been frozen for fifty years.

What's more, there are also derived social problems - now ordinary people take a passbook from 80 years ago to the bank to collect sky-high interest, and the bank is too lazy to pay attention to it.

How can we expect those refrigeration institutions to have business ethics as strong as steel and maintain this business for one or two hundred years, during which time they will take good care of all popsicles and frozen meats.

Everything is possible in the world of the script. Li Sheng stopped trying to rationalize and crossed his hands in front of him, "There are no purebred people in the outside world anymore?"

"There are no wild purebred humans anymore."

The cat girl in the suit said: "Before the nuclear war, it was popular in human society to perform brain modification surgery on their pets to improve their IQ.

After the nuclear war, the vast majority of pure-bred humans who survived were also affected by the radiation dust and mutated into zombies or bloodthirsty mutants who like to eat human flesh.

On the contrary, smaller cats and dogs, with better tolerance to radiation, survived, and with the help of a genius human scientist, they genetically merged with humans to become sub-humans and took over the baton of civilization. "

A cat-and-dog version of "War for the Planet of the Apes"?

Li Sheng raised his eyebrows and said, "What is the name of that genius scientist? Where is he now? Can you recommend him to us?"

"Her name is Lynn. According to the map of old human civilization, she is currently in a palace in the Himalayas. As for the introduction, I'm sorry that I can't do that for the time being."

Lynn, Lynn?

Li Sheng wrote down the name, nodded and said: "Cats and dogs, as human pets, naturally have the priority inheritance rights of civilization after becoming demi-humans.

For some reason, you decided to thaw and resurrect former humans who had been frozen for tens or hundreds of years from a cryogenic facility before the nuclear war.

This kind of resurrection is not about establishing a zoo and keeping humans in captivity for fun, but it is really about allowing former humans to repopulate and establish human civilization.

The so-called "Wasteland Romance Reality Show" is also part of the review process - you have to find the most beautiful, smartest, and to some extent the most rational and cold-hearted couple. "

The rules of romance dramas are destined to be full of intrigues, betrayals, and frame-ups. If you want to survive, you must be kind and not stupid.

"You are right."

The cat girl in the suit said in a strange tone, "At the beginning of the show, the program team predicted that the probability that you would pass the level was less than 10%. I didn't expect that you would survive to the end."

"Haha, I can't help it. After all, I am such a treasured boy with rich connotations. During my prenatal education, I was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs. I studied literature at the age of three, science at the age of five, graduated with a doctorate at the age of seven, and founded a successful multinational company at the age of thirteen. I went public and took on a national engineering project at the age of 16. As for my daily life. Warning for more pictures! Warning for more pictures! Say the important things three times!

Thanks to the reminder from my friends in the comment area, the original answer has been modified. People nowadays are really too violent and don't like others.

————

Many netizens in the comment area were scoffing and questioning, thinking I was bragging. It can only be said that all unfairness in the world is due to the lack of ability of the parties involved. There are too many acquaintances in the circle, and the interests are related, so I have hidden them. "

After a long series of words, the cat girl in the suit opened her mouth and hesitated to speak. Little Red Riding Hood and Jin Huiying were also dumbfounded - I don't know what content platform they thought this was on.

Is this the Internet influencer KOL who has millions of followers?

"Ahem."

The cat girl in suit coughed twice to cover up her embarrassment, and slowly said: "As new humans, we have ended the era of struggling for survival and have initially restored the wasteland ecological environment. But we do not plan to stay on Earth for a long time, but to take a spaceship to advance towards the sea of ​​stars, to explore and conquer.

At the same time, we will give humans, the companions and predecessors of civilization who have been with us for thousands of years, a second chance.

If you choose to stay in this villa, you will enjoy the meticulous care of the automated robotic arms, and you will no longer have to worry about eating, drinking and having fun in this life.

And if you open that door, you will be exiled to the real wilderness, starting from scratch without any help, and building humanity. Civilization. "

"."

Li Sheng was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Humans destroyed the ecological environment of the Earth in the nuclear war, and also destroyed the crystallization of civilization that they were proud of. It is not easy to get another chance. What else can we ask for?

As for my choice"

He raised his palm and clasped it on the turntable of the watertight door, turned his head and smiled at the cat girl in the suit, "The next time the new and old humans meet again, it may be in the starry sky a thousand years later."

The cat girl took a deep breath, ".Wish you good luck."

"Wish you good luck too."

As the communication was interrupted and the TV screen fell into darkness, Li Sheng, Little Red Riding Hood, and Jin Huiying turned the turntable and pushed open the heavy door together.

Hu——

The wind blew, and the open wilderness was full of dust. In the extremely distant blue sky, spaceships and space stations passed by. The three people standing in the scorching sun seemed to be abandoned by the world.

Li Sheng leaned down and gently brushed the green leaves of a wild grass with his palm.

Fortunately, there is still hope.

"Dr. Lin En,"

On the other side of the earth, in the fortress on the top of the Himalayas, the cat girl in a suit is reporting to a female human scientist in a wheelchair through a remote video, "Three former humans in Shelter No. 3 passed the test first and chose to leave the shelter and go to the wilderness to survive."

"So fast?"

The female scientist named Lin En raised her eyebrows slightly, "What about other shelters?"

The cat girl replied: "They are still conducting reality show selections."

"I know, don't disturb them, and continue to advance the plan."

Lin En turned off the communication video without comment, and sent an electrical signal through the helmet covered with electrode patches on her head, controlling the anti-gravity wheelchair to float up and float to the window.

In the Himalayas, you can see more clearly the spectacular scene of millions of ships emitting blue propulsion flames and leaving the earth.

"Master,"

In the bunker, the robotic arm, which was the same style as the villa but obviously more advanced, asked hesitantly, "Can the plan really succeed?"

Lin En glanced at the robotic arm. The AI ​​program inside was written by her personally. There was absolutely no risk of betrayal, and she could tell it the most secret secrets.

After coming to this world, Lin En spent decades guiding and controlling a total of four billion new humans, allowing them to collectively board spaceships, leave the earth, and head towards the sea of ​​stars.

This was not entirely out of romanticism, but more to confirm Lin En's conjecture-the script world created by the killing field is not a complete universe, but a virtual world with physical boundaries.

The collective escape of four billion new humans may trigger the emergency mechanism of the killing field. At that time, will it be destruction, backtracking, or letting it go and further expanding the universe with the advancement of the new humans?

"The plan will succeed, and the plan must succeed."

Lin En had a blank expression, and the lenses of his glasses reflected a strange light. He sighed softly, "Only by mastering the secrets behind the killing field can we achieve that goal."

The mechanical arm said cautiously, "Become the Supreme step by step?"

"Bullshit!" Lin En rolled his eyes, "Is it to cure paralysis? I don't want to sit in a wheelchair for a moment! Damn killing field, damn toy factory, this setting is just like the character setting in anime, forcing me to be paralyzed in a wheelchair.

Make a crutch, the crutch breaks inexplicably.

Implant a mechanical prosthesis, and the prosthetic system collapses.

Even if I build a Gundam, as soon as I sit in it, the Gundam's legs will be scrapped immediately and paralyzed on the spot.

Killing field, Akiri, don't let me find your entity. If I find you, I must pull off your hood and slap you in the face,"

In the bunker, Lin En's fragrant mouth echoed.
