Chapter 98 Tsk tsk, only billion humans (Part )

“Tick.”

“…”

“Tick tock…”

Slowly opening his eyes, Xiao Yu woke up from eternity in a daze.

Looking around blankly at everything in front of me.

This is a cave.

A stalactite cave with a small space.

cramped.

Damp.

The four walls are dark and obstructive.

It was like the throat of an unknown giant beast, twisting and turning, swallowing up most of the light within reach of the naked eye.

Some pale creatures can be vaguely seen crawling in the dark in the cracks between the layers of rocks.

The sound of dripping water was clearly heard echoing in the distance.

But there seemed to be a smell of sulfuric acid, corroding the few remaining lives nearby.

His brows furrowed slightly.

Xiao Yu focused his sight.

‘here……’

“It’s the future.”

All memories are restored.

He supported himself on the rusty Iron Throne with both hands and struggled to stand up.

“Squeak, creak, creak—”

All the joints in his body made a sharp and dull sound.

“Someone is coming.”

Standing up straight, Xiao Yu took a deep breath and shouted.

“Someone is coming…”

“people……”

“…”

The sound echoed endlessly.

But no one responded.

“All dead?”

“died……”

“It’s…”

“…”

Xiao Yu: “…”

Still no response.

There was silence for a long time.

He rationally gave up the idea of ​​calling for help.

He began to move his legs, stepping on the water-filled ground with “gulp, gulp, gulp”, and surveyed the surrounding environment.

soon.

Xiao Yu found a stainless steel box half a person’s height behind the Iron Throne.

Doubt walked forward and opened the lid of the box.

Inside is a translucent gelatinous substance similar to jelly.

Inside, there is also a mobile phone “wrapped”.

It was obviously left for him.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yu reached into the “jelly” and pulled out the phone with a “pop”.

Then I noticed that this thing was not a mobile phone.

It is an intercom with a screen in front and a solar panel in the back.

Press the switch.

The screen lit up slightly, displaying two lines of text.

[Battery low]

[Please turn on the computer in the sun]

Xiao Yu: “…”

He shook off the sticky jelly on his right hand and the walkie-talkie, and without hesitation, he bent his knees slightly, mobilized the strength in his body, and suddenly jumped up!
“Boom——”

It smashed through layers of hard rock above its head and rushed directly to the surface.

Completely different from the dampness and coldness of the cave.

The ground was extremely dry.

Looking around, the sky was filled with yellow sand and the north wind was howling.

The earth is bare with scars of dryness.

Broken remains of buildings were vaguely visible, cracked and scattered, and a few rusted steel bars were rubbing violently against the wind and sand, making clanking sounds.

Within sight, there was only one weed stubbornly poking its head out from the crack, which made Xiao Yu feel even more uneasy…

“…”

His brows furrowed again.

He suppressed the strange emotions in his heart and held up the walkie-talkie.

Aim the solar panel on the back toward the sky.

“Beep beep-“

In just a few seconds, the device’s screen lights up immediately.

The familiar young man in hemp clothes appeared in the picture.

“Great father.” On the screen, the young man in hemp clothes bowed deeply: “You finally woke up.”

“Where have you been?” Xiao Yu asked in a hoarse voice.

“I’m sorry, great father.” The young man in hemp clothes stood up and sighed regretfully: “I’m already dead.”

Xiao Yu: “…Fuck you.”

“I dare not lie to you. What you see now is just an artificial intelligence that combines some of my memories.” The hemp-clothed boy on the screen bowed again: “Human civilization… is destroyed.”

“…”

Xiao Yu remained silent, his expression becoming extremely ugly: “Haven’t I already reached a higher dimension?”

“Yes. Thanks to your efforts, all human civilizations on the entire timeline have been upgraded to high-dimensional civilizations. But…”

“But what? Don’t waste time. Just say it all at once.”

“Great Father, we have all been deceived.”

……

Traveling through the endless void.

When Xiao Yu returned to the real world from the “future” in his dream.

unexpected.

It was also expected…

His “original” body disappeared again.

The whole person returns to the original soul state.

‘grass! ’

He cursed violently in his mind, and before he could think more, he instinctively rushed towards the distant earth.

“guyong~”

Xiao Yu: “…”

“guyong~guyong~”

Xiao Yu: “…”

good news.

This time he was finally not restricted by the “corpse” and could control the “soul” to move freely.

bad news.

Moves very slowly.

The speed will not exceed 10 kilometers per hour at most…

‘Um. ’

‘The distance from the Earth to the Moon seems to be about 380,000 kilometers.’

‘That means, if I keep running without sleep for four and a half years at most, I will be able to get home!’

“…”

‘WDNMD.’

Stopped the “charge.”

Every word that the sackcloth-clothed boy said to him echoed in his thoughts, and Xiao Yu felt a mess.

at this point.

Even if he rushed back to Earth, what would be the use…

……

The toilet doesn’t care about the rush of water.

Just like people, they don’t pay attention to the passing time.

Two years passed in the blink of an eye.

Since the world’s “second round of dimensional upgrade”, nothing seems to have changed in human society.

Work at sunrise.

Do it at sunset.

The Great Xiao Dynasty, once founded by Xiao Yu, still rules the world. However, the mobility of social classes depends entirely on the talent and strength of the individual.

industry?

finance?

property?

Even science?

It doesn’t matter anymore.

Even large conglomerates that originally spanned multiple industries can only rely on the strong.

The whole world.

Finally it has become a “fantasy” shape…

Tokyo University.

The capital of the Great Xiao Dynasty, Baicheng.

In front of the huge ball of light in the center of the square, Xiao Jiji, who had grown into a grown-up girl, had a calm expression. She slowly stretched out her hand and touched the ball of light.

“Whoosh-“

next second!
A stream of information that science could not explain flooded into her mind.

“…Xiao Yu.” Xiao Jiji closed her eyes and recalled Xiao Yu’s appearance.

Then, Xiao Yu’s ranking among all human beings appeared in her vision.

【Xiao Yu】

【Civilization ranking: 3100491531】

【Ten thousand away. Not in the main order of civilization.】

“…”

Xiao Jiji clenched his teeth unwillingly, maintained the posture, and checked again.

“…Xiao Yu.”

【Xiao Yu】

【Civilization ranking: 3100491768】

【Ten thousand away. No longer in the main order of civilization.】

“…”

In a few seconds, he dropped hundreds of places…

Pursing her slightly pale lips, Xiao Jiji finally gave up.

Open your eyes and withdraw your right hand.

“Sister, what’s wrong?” Xiao Guanguan asked hurriedly behind him.

“The ranking has dropped again.” Xiao Jiji turned around with a complicated look in her eyes.

“…” Upon hearing this, Xiao Guanguan also lowered his head in frustration.

“But fortunately, the ranking is still there. My brother is still alive.” Xiao Jiji forced a smile.

“That’s good. Let’s go.” Taking a few steps forward, Xiao Guanguan took Xiao Jiji’s hand, ignored the various looks around the square, and walked straight towards the palace in the distance: “Nalan Yanran will be giving a speech here soon, and I don’t want to see her face.”

“I don’t want to either. Ugh.”

Looking up and gazing at the bright sun in the sky, Xiao Guanguan felt sad as he walked.

After the second dimensional upgrade.

If there is one biggest change in this world, it is that in every city where humans gather, there will be a ball of light named “the will of civilization.”

The function of the light ball is simple.

It is merely an objective ranking of the strength of all mankind that cannot be explained by science.

Those who are strong will be ranked first.

Those who are weak should be at the back.

After two years, people gradually got used to this thing.

At the same time… I have also become accustomed to the awkward ranking of the current “Emperor” of the Great Xiao Dynasty – Xiao Yu.

More than three billion people!
Not even as good as civilians.

In today’s society where “strength is respected”, there is no need to explain what this means.

In this regard, the whole society’s analysis is that “Emperor Xiao Yu” failed to keep up with the evolution.

After all, this time the dimensional upgrade failed to keep up with the “pace”, the number of humans who failed to do so was more than 50%.

It was not surprising that Xiao Yu became the unlucky one…

“Ugh.”

Sighing, Xiao Guanguan led Xiao Jiji to the main gate of the palace of the Great Xiao Dynasty.

“Mr. Xiao Guanguan, please come in.” The commander in front of the door was a sturdy man over two meters tall. He moved aside expressionlessly and made way: “Go through the small door.”

Xiao Guanguan: “…”

Obviously, the other party was respectful.

But not many are respectful…

Xiao Guanguan had long been accustomed to it. He forced a smile and nodded to the commander, then quickened his pace and left.

This palace of the Great Xiao Dynasty.

It was completed a year ago. It is huge in scale and has towering palace walls.

As soon as you enter the palace gate, you will see a wide square, the ground of which is paved with 10,001 marbles with fine texture.

The thousands of main buildings in the palace are even more magnificent.

Golden roof, red walls, flying eaves and brackets.

The corridors connecting all the buildings are even covered with soft and luxurious carpets.

From the inside out, they were afraid that others would not be able to see how wealthy their Great Xiao Dynasty was…

It took more than ten minutes for Xiao Guanguan and her companion to pass through the side halls and return to their family’s manor.

I saw Chen Banxian squatting at the door, holding a watering can and watering the plants on both sides of the door.

“You’re back.” Chen Banxian greeted perfunctorily without even raising his head.

“He didn’t come back. He died outside.” Xiao Jiji shook off Xiao Guanguan’s hand and rolled her eyes.

“…You’re a kid, can you please stop acting like you’re in menopause every day?” Chen Banxian put down the spray bottle, stood up, looked him up and down, and said, “Are you going to see Xiaoyu’s ranking again?”

“Still three billion.”

“Very good.” Chen Banxian nodded: “It suppresses half of the world.”

Xiao Jiji: “…”

“Grandpa, let me do it.” Xiao Guanguan walked forward, picked up the watering can, and bent down to water the plants.

“Little Third Brother.” Chen Banxian took out a pipe from his arms and lit it. He patted Xiao Jiji’s shoulder and exhaled: “Don’t go out so often in the future. I heard from your second sister that the situation has been a little unstable recently. Stay at home honestly.”

“I won’t accept this.” Xiao Jiji pursed her lips.

“I’ve told you so many times. Others may not know Xiaoyu’s situation, but our family also doesn’t know it.”

After looking around, Chen Banxian leaned close to Xiao Jiji’s ear and lowered his voice: “It was your brother who upgraded the world. The rest of us have evolved along with it, so how could your brother be the only one left behind? It’s very likely that his body has been reshaped just like last time. When he appears, he will become a superman again after a good night’s sleep.”

“Just listen to what my second sister says.” Xiao Jiji was indignant: “You believe whatever she says.”

“boom!”

The voice just fell.

Xiao Jiji was hit hard on the head.

Smash his entire body directly into the ground.

Then, Xiao Yaya, dressed in cowboy clothes, appeared out of nowhere and said, “Fuck, if you don’t believe me, who else can you believe?”

“Where have you been again?” Chen Banxian frowned.

“I went around the brothels.” Xiao Yaya snatched Chen Banxian’s pipe, put it in her mouth and took a puff. She took off her cowboy hat and said casually, “Fight with those bitches.”

Chen Banxian was shocked: “You went to the cabinet?!”

“hold head high.”

“They just don’t like our family right now! And you always go and cause trouble!”

“I don’t like them! My brother owns the country, and my brother also upgraded the civilization. How dare they hold a meeting to discuss the demolition of my brother’s statue? Damn, what a bunch of ungrateful bastards.”

“… Isn’t that the case when people leave and tea gets cold? Xiaoyu hasn’t shown up yet, and his strength ranking is at the bottom again.” Sitting on the ground with his legs crossed, Chen Banxian snatched back the pipe and took a puff: “Human nature is very realistic.”

“Let me calculate the time.” Xiao Yaya counted on her ten fingers with a serious face: “Last time, my brother died for three years. If this time is also counted as three years… there are nine months and five days left.”

“Yaya.” After a long silence, Chen Banxian narrowed his eyes: “Are you sure of your own judgment? According to what you said, if Xiaoyu died and waited to be resurrected, then why is his name still in the ranking of ‘Civilization Will’? Is he… really not keeping up with the evolution?”

“Can a normal death be the same as an ‘ordinary’ death? Never mind. You are old, and if the world hadn’t upgraded, you might have been buried long ago. It’s normal to be a little confused.”

Chen Banxian paused when he started smoking.

Also sitting cross-legged, Xiao Yaya took out a small notebook with “Light Yagami’s List” written on the cover from her pocket and added a series of names on it.

Chen Banxian leaned over and glanced: “…How did Nalan Yanran’s pet dog offend you again?”

“During the cabinet meeting, he looked at me rudely.” Xiao Yaya licked her lips, turned a page, and continued writing: “It must have been taught by its owner.”

Chen Banxian: “…”

He no longer paid attention to his second disciple whose mental state was becoming increasingly distorted. Chen Banxian stood up, hunched over, with his hands behind his back, and walked to the deep pit. He looked at Xiao Jiji who was staring blankly at the sky in the pit and asked, “How long are you going to stay in the pit?”

Xiao Jiji in the pit raised his head hesitantly without blinking.

Chen Banxian: “…I’m really confused. Can’t your Xiao family’s genes create a normal person?”

“It’s purple.” Xiao Jiji raised his hand blankly and pointed at the sky.

“Ah?” Chen Banxian was stunned: “What do you mean purple?”

“The sky…” Xiao Jiji’s eyes, which were like black pearls, reflected the sky: “It’s purple.”

Chen Banxian was at a loss and looked up in the direction Xiao Jiji pointed.

The whole person felt like being struck by lightning in an instant!
“Clap.”

The cigarette holder in my hand fell down.

Makes a crisp sound.

Now, Xiao Yaya, who was writing the list, and Xiao Guanguan, who was watering the flowers silently, realized something when they heard the sound, and they all looked up at the sky.

I saw a light purple filter appearing above the clouds…
