The world enters the age of myth

Since he was lying on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep, Lu Yiming simply sat up from the bed, looking up information and playing with the Jin Lili human body pillow next to him.

According to the information collected by the Unkai military from the city, skilled "dream controllers" can fly over walls and walls in lucid dreams, and even fly away from the gravity environment. This is why they become obsessed with the feeling of dreaming and have a certain influence on the real world. sense of loss.

According to the records, nightmares like the one just now are almost the mildest type of fourth-category nightmares, which are death threats that are barely bearable.

Even if you die in a dream, there won't be any major sequelae. You'll just find that you didn't rest well when you wake up, that's all.

"I was just killed by a bullet in my dream, but in reality there was nothing wrong with it."

The third type of dream is the terrifying nightmare Lu Yiming had in the Nightmare Continent.

It still makes no sense on a logical level, but the level of panic has skyrocketed. Dying in this kind of dream may lead to a mental breakdown, leading to physical death in the real world.

However, from the perspective of lucid dreaming, the "dream controller" will think that this is just a dream. Even if the person dies, reality will not die. He can even rely on the authority to modify the dream to forcibly reverse the ending of the dream.

After the dream finally shattered, nothing happened.

In other words, as long as you insist that you are dreaming, then it is just a nightmare and can be easily defeated.

Next is the more dangerous second type of dream recorded in the data. It appears after 30 days and may involve the deep layers of the subconscious. The various characters in it will have extremely high levels of wisdom, and each of them will appear vividly. , as if it were real reality.

This type of dream is not necessarily a nightmare, some are so happy that people don't want to wake up.

But skilled dream manipulators can still survive these dreams safely...those who are unskilled will die.

If you die in the second type of dream, you will also die.

The first type of dream is the top nightmare after 60 days. Everyone who has experienced it is dead. There is not much information in the diary.

It is extremely dangerous and may be related to the disaster origin of the nightmare curse.

Thinking of this, Lu Yiming's eyes became focused, "The task is very difficult! You must learn it immediately, even if you use special drugs, you must learn it!"

…

"Ladies and gentlemen, an emergency announcement is now playing..."

The next morning, the government announced this news to the masses through loudspeakers - "Hibernation plan for all!"

In order to survive the dark night on the Yang River, the Sea of ​​Clouds prepares to spend an entire year in the nearby nightmare world.

The vast majority of civilians will spend their time in hibernation.

A small number of workers will use lucid dreaming to stay awake for a month and take turns working.

"Now, our biologist Professor Fang will introduce the related matters of hibernation and the specific work arrangements."

The professor popularized hibernation technology and introduced the methods and processes of lucid dreaming. Several hosts jointly completed this interview in the form of lectures.

An undercurrent was surging. Many civilians were actually deceived when they first heard the news. How could they suddenly go into hibernation despite everything being fine?

The word "hibernation" sounds too sci-fi. What if you fall asleep and can't wake up?

But with the detailed science popularization in this symposium, everyone understood the importance and urgency of the matter.

To survive on the Yang River, any major decision is necessary. If we don't hibernate collectively, what better way is there? The sun above Yang River is about to set. If we don't enter the Nightmare Continent, can we really survive here?

"In the past few days, there are always birds flying in the sky, and a voice of 'run away, run away' will arise in my heart."

An aunt who specializes in growing vegetables uses her loud voice to gossip in the community, "You don't know, it scares me to death!"

"Really? Is it so evil?"

"Of course it's true. It's not just me, many people have heard it. That's why the government will find a way to escape, even if it's hibernation, to enter this world."

"What if, and I mean what if, these birds allow us to escape from the Nightmare Continent? Isn't that like falling into a trap?"

"No, no, no, they must be trying to get us out of Yanghe! These birds are not creatures from the Nightmare Continent. You don't think they are human souls possessing the birds, do you?"

The common people are very controversial about this matter and their uneasiness is very strong.

Various discussions about "birds" and "hibernation" have made people panic.

"Train, train everyone!"

Things like "lucid dreaming" require more talent. In the future, at least thousands of related staff will be needed, divided into 12 batches, so that the Unkai can safely survive this disaster. No matter how few, there are still one or two thousand.

Time is very tight!

In order to survive this round of disaster, most of the production activities have gradually stopped, and the Unkai will transfer its industrial capabilities to the manufacturing of hibernation warehouses and the production of hibernation potions.

Immediately afterwards, on this afternoon, most adults were distributed a drug code-named "Feitian".

After taking this medicine, you will fall into a drowsy state and cannot wake up.

This will allow you to better practice your lucid dreaming skills.

…

"What's the public's response? Everyone should support this policy." Lu Yiming asked hurriedly when he saw some community workers walking out of the elevator.

"As long as the explanation is clear, it won't be a big problem. Can we not support it? After all, most people, as long as they are sane, don't want to spend the night on the Yang River."

"We still have a little less time here. Spending a year in a parallel world is a better choice. Coupled with the assist from the crow in the sky..."

Staying in Yanghe requires you to bear unknown risks, but entering the Nightmare Continent requires you to bear known risks. Therefore, there is not much resistance to the implementation of this policy.

It has actually only been a little more than two years since the Sea of ​​Clouds arrived in Yanghe. This is a relatively short period of time, and it is already quite good to be able to develop into what it is now.

"Okay, then we have to arrange the shifts. I hope more people can master this skill. Hey..."

Lu Yiming has never been worried about public support. Judging from the current internal cohesion of Yunhai, almost 90% of adults have signed up to participate in this lucid dream training event to prepare for the "lucid dream rotation period" in the next month. ".

After all, this kind of thing is for everyone, and everyone still has this collective spirit. Even Lu Yiming's parents participated in the lucid dream training with great interest.

However, listening to everyone's discussion, Liu Xuwei said with a sad face: "The time is still too short, not enough at all. I seriously doubt that it will be dark before we are ready."

"Those survivors in the city are all very experienced dream manipulators, and they are even the kind of mental patients who have paranoid dreams. For this group of people, almost every dream can be converted into a lucid dream. .”

"But we are different. We are just ordinary people. Sometimes, we are still carried away by our dreams."

"Hey, that's right. It's too easy to be carried away by dreams."

This is also true. Proficiency requires accumulation over many years.

Except for a few talented people, it is easy for others to fail, and even a few months of training are completely insufficient.

Sleeping in the Nightmare Continent, if you lose the powerful ability of lucid dreaming, you will probably die.

Liu Xuwei said sadly: "In the Nightmare Continent, there are 30 days in a month. Even if you sleep once every two days, you have to sleep 15 times. If you miss once, you will die!"

"We must find a universal dream detection technique to constantly remind people in dreams that this is a dream. Only in this way can the success rate be improved."

Lu Yiming touched his chin, "Which cursed doll do you mean to use?"

"Yes."

The cursed doll can also cause nightmares, but it will not cause death directly, it will only cause exhaustion... Of course, there is also a small probability of sudden death. This is the risk that comes with using a cursed doll.

But in the nightmare caused by the cursed doll, this doll will definitely appear. It is actually a good "dream detection" mechanism.

"It's possible, and it's worth experimenting with."

As the sun sets, time passes quickly, and a vigorous national lucid dream training, as well as the emergency construction of hibernation warehouses, are in progress...

Except for some workers in the necessary production rooms, everyone no longer has to go to work, and they are experiencing dreams every day.

If you really can't sleep, take drugs. Anyway, you will be able to fall asleep after taking drugs.

Most people forget everything and fall into a deep state of drowsiness as soon as they dream. But among the 170,000 people, there are also a small number of talented people who have successfully mastered some of the techniques of lucid dreaming.

In particular, scientists have made a series of improvements to the cursed doll, using a special potion to write the words "You are dreaming" on the cursed doll.

As a result, the cursed doll became a very effective dream detection mechanism...

As long as you see it appearing around you, and there are those four big characters reminding you, there is no doubt that it is a "dream".

Time passed quickly and two weeks passed quickly again.

Today is another very special day, everyone is very nervous and worried.

Because today, the sun finally sets! Instead, there was a round moon, emitting a dim red light, hanging high in the sky.

However, after the sun has completely set, there is still a little afterglow in the sky, and there are still a few days until the real night...

All the staff are busy, and the emergency manufacturing of the large hibernation warehouse is almost completed. To put it bluntly, it is a large cold storage. As long as it can be cooled, the temperature fluctuations cannot be too large.

The production of hibernation potion is also in the final stages.

These are all done overtime.

The last step is the construction and production of the "Crystal Energy Cannon".

With most people hibernating, it is basically impossible to use complex nuclear weapons. But as long as the "crystal energy cannon" is completed, it can become a conventional attack method that replaces nuclear weapons - the price paid is only a slightly closer attack distance.
