This time traveling is an indescribable feeling, as if it is hot, cold, sore, numb, and painful all mixed together.
But Milo had no time to pay attention to these changes. When his senses recovered, he immediately felt the very distorted order around him.
Rigid, sluggish, fixed operation, but always subject to distortion and reversal of the power of order.
After just a brief contact, some metallic buds sprouted from Milo's arm.
He looked around, and the sky he saw was clear. A big sun in the sky gave off immeasurable light and heat, which was scattered on the earth in a very regular pattern. The gravel boiled under the high temperature, and the air began to distort, making The surrounding scenery is like a mirage.
"This is……"
Milo took a deep breath, activated the vitality in his body, forced the chaotic breath in his body to the lower part of his left forearm, and watched the dense buds growing from his fingers and joints, and the leaves that looked like crystals and chips exuded a strange smell. The breath, even flickering in some places, is constantly receiving a large amount of information from the surroundings, trying to pass it on to Milo's mind.
A faint spiritual light appeared in Milo's eyes, his energy was restrained, and his whole person fell into deathly silence, resisting the order and chaos of the outside world. At the same time, the crystals and chips on his arms no longer emitted brilliance.
But his state did not last long. The gravel under his feet began to twist, as if something was working underneath.
The next second, a huge being that looked like a worm or a lamprey emerged from the soil. Its unfolded mouthparts were filled with densely packed blades. The center should be where the throat was, exuding a metallic texture. It glows red, but what is strange is that the huge monster shell is close to the carapace of an insect and the outer skin of a worm, which is both strong and tough.
"Beep! Found a mildly mechanized life, clean it up and rescue it! Beep! Found a mildly humanoid mechanized life, ask for rescue..."
A tiny electric current was running inside the giant monster's body. When it beeped for the first time, a laser was emitted from the light spot in the center of its huge mouthparts, trying to cut off Milo's arm. When it beeped for the second time, , Milo had already arrived in front of him, raised his knife and lowered it, gathering his energy, and cut the monster in front of him into two pieces with the sunlight, exposing a large number of metal structures and some bionic devices inside.
Some of the strange liquids quickly created wonderful scenes after being exposed to the air, suppressing the distorted order around them and making Milo feel a different kind of peace.
Milo could feel that these breaths contained a power that resisted the mutations on his arms.
But similarly, Milo also has another corresponding twisted aura among these peaceful auras.
The so-called mutual resistance is actually to make the two mutations tend to be balanced.
'Where is this? '
Milo was a little curious. He cast a spell to check the monster in front of him, and found that on some of the components that were still running inside, tiny currents were constantly transmitting information. At the same time, the twisted order in the entire void was also constantly eroding this Monster body.
Slowly, Milo saw that the monster's body began to continuously metamorphose, becoming a crystal-like mechanical structure, and then began to weather rapidly, turning into an existence that was no different from the surrounding gravel.
Milo's eyes widened slightly. He saw that it was not the monster's body that was weathering, but that the world was extracting its essence and making it disappear.
The reason for all this is simply that the source of this world has been exhausted, and the will of the world is trying to collect all reusable energy in a way that is almost crazy, but extremely rational.
Because Milo is still alive, the world will not take action against Milo. The monster has lost its ability to move and does not have much repair value, so it can directly drain its essence and concepts and return to its origin.
'Has the world become this barren? And how is this mode of operation formed? Doesn't extraction and transformation require energy? Milo looked at the void and narrowed his eyes slightly. With the help of the changes in the previous source flow, he vaguely saw part of the essence of this world.
He followed the connection and walked in one direction, and saw a small ruins.
No, according to the logic of the world's previous performance, this is not a ruin, but a small town that is intact but has lost its residents.
Milo walked towards the town. What he saw was a large open space and a large number of low-rise houses. These houses had no windows or doors. They looked like huge semicircular bulges or squares. The machine is cleaning the surrounding environment to ensure that sand and dust do not cover the area.
When Milo walked in, the square machine suddenly came to Milo's side, and the camera-like device above began to operate.
"Beep! Humanoid life has been discovered, request for certification! Beep! Beep! Beep! Mild humanoid mechanized life has been discovered, request for rescue..."
Along with the rapid sound, the semicircular spheres opened automatically, and mechanical creations that looked very similar to humans came out, surrounding Milo. The crystals on their arms emitted a faint light, and they interacted with each other. They are connected in series to form an energy barrier similar to a barrier, covering Milo.
Although the level of this energy barrier was not high, Milo still secretly made a secret gesture, ready to take action at any time.
To Milo's expectation, the energy barrier in front of him did not press down further, but stopped one meter in front of Milo, constantly emitting a soft glow.
The frequency of the light was the same as the flickering frequency of the leaves that looked like crystals and chips below Milo's left forearm, and then the barrier flickered faster. Milo could feel that the flashing frequency of the crystals and chips in his hand had also increased, but due to Milo's own suppression, Milo's acceleration was much slower.
"Beep! The internal suppression mechanization method has been detected and the frequency is being converted!"
As sounds rang out from each mechanical object, the flickering frequency of the barrier's light began to slow down, once again matching the frequency of Milo's body.
Then, the crystals and chips in Milo's hand began to crack, and a little bit of light scattered, and was assimilated by the surrounding mechanical creations.
The bodies of the mechanical creations that swallowed these streams of light experienced a certain degree of mutation, and crystals and chips began to grow on the surface of their bodies. However, these mechanical creations ignored them and just continued to scan and analyze them.
"Beep! Unable to identify the crystal structure, we are making a similar comparison and are connecting to the database... The large database connection is completed... The small database is being connected... Beep! After comparison, the crystal structure of the living organism in front of us is 70% similar to that of most plants. Six or more, and the similarity of some plants reaches more than 180%, which is basically determined to be unknown plant-based alienated humanoid life... According to relevant regulations... recognize its human identity and recognize its first-class citizen status..."
"Dip! Dear first-class citizen, welcome to the House of Nature! You are the 88888th citizen after the beginning of the new era. All mechanical life in the House of Nature once again gives you the most sincere Greetings! Please come with me!"
The most complete mechanical creation came to Milo and guided Milo to go inside.
Milo looked around at the creations that were devouring the crystals and chips in his hands, and watched as their bodies continued to mutate. The mechanical creations that opened their mouths for guidance turned back and whispered: "Please don't worry about them, these infected machines will soon be gone." After being cleaned and recycled, they are ready to return to work in approximately three to six working days.”
At this point, the mechanical creation paused for a moment and then said: "I'm very sorry, because of the lack of repairmen and engineers, as well as the lack of some parts, I cannot give an accurate time answer."
Milo heard this, thought for a moment, then looked at the creature and said, "Lead the way!"
"Okay! Thank you very much for your approval. Next, I will introduce our natural home to you!"
"The Natural Home was built in the 36th year of the New Era. It is one of the earliest high-end residences with a natural simulated environment. It has a complete ecological system and a natural simulated environment, which can bring more than 90% of the benefits to the living creatures living there. A sense of real experience. And what we have in front of us is the natural posture of the natural home.”
Following the introduction of the mechanical creation, Milo saw a huge garden with lush vegetation and emerald green as the main color. Various flowers were dotted in it, and animals such as sika deer and birds lived in it. Unfortunately, these were all fake.
Plants are spliced together by tiny machines, and the interior of animals is also a mechanical structure. Everything is just a product of mechanical simulation.
But just as the mechanical creation said, the animals and plants in front of you are extremely lifelike. Apart from being lifeless and spiritual, it is almost impossible to tell the difference between them and the real thing based on their appearance, which is consistent with more than 90% of the reality. Experience.
However, what is fake is fake after all. Milo cannot perceive any natural force in it. The only thing to be thankful for is that in this environment, the distorted order seems to become a little peaceful. Of course, the essence of this peace is closer to Suppress the chaotic ways and distortions in a more rigid, sluggish, and fixed way.
Milo looked around and asked: "You said I am the 88888th citizen who came here, so where did the other citizens go?"
In response to Milo's question, the mechanical creation paused for a moment, and then said: "Are you asking about the living conditions of the Nature House?"
"right!"
Milo's answer came quickly: "Currently, there are 23,247 registered residents of Nature House, and there are 766 current residents."
'Is there anyone alive? '
Milo looked around and sensed it again, but there was no life.
He raised his doubts, and the mechanical creation paused for a moment before giving the answer: "Their physical bodies have died, but their spirits still exist in Utopia. And because they are registered in the Home of Nature, in the record, they Still a resident of nature’s home.”
"Utopia?"
Milo whispered softly, but the mechanical creature suddenly raised its voice and introduced Milo in an almost fanatical believer's tone: "Utopia, the greatest creation of mankind, the enemy of all chaos, the embodiment of the highest order, and the last storage place of civilization. .May I ask this citizen, are you willing to enter the Utopia?"
The fanatical tone and exaggerated expression made the mechanical creation's behavior look a little distorted, but the description in its mouth made Milo very curious.
"What exactly is Utopia?"
"The greatest creation of mankind, the enemy of all chaos, the embodiment of the highest order, the last storage place of civilization..."
Repeated words came from the mouth of the mechanical creation, and Milo frowned. At this time, a new voice came: "First-class citizen, please don't embarrass him. He is only a third-class intelligent machine and does not have strong self-logic ability. .”
This voice is soft and sweet, except for a trace of rigidity and sluggishness that is hard to erase. It can be said to be the gospel of ordinary voice control.
Milo turned around and saw a beautiful woman in white clothes with the triple qualities of a girl, a woman, a virtuous woman, and a mother. It looked at Milo, held up the hem of her skirt, and bowed slightly: "Welcome. Come back, the new human master who appeared after the Utopia era!"
"Who are you?"
"I am the steward of the natural house and the manager of all mechanical creations here."
The woman maintains a bowed posture, showing surrender and obedience.
"Can you tell me everything that's happening in this world?"
"As you wish."
As she spoke, the woman stood up and raised her hand slightly. The light and shadow around her changed, forming a projection, showing the history of this world in front of Milo.
One hundred and twenty-seven years before the new era, the breath of chaos was discovered by humans as a new energy source.
The chaotic atmosphere, which was regarded as a perfect energy source at the time, covered all aspects of human life in just thirty years, and in the following ten years, human science and technology made leaps and bounds.
But soon, in the seventy-sixth year before the new era, the backlash of the chaos came, and the order of the world was destroyed.
The first change is the reproductive barrier between animals and plants. Animals and humans, humans and plants, plants and animals can all give birth to a new generation of creatures, and this mode of reproduction is still expanding and can even affect dead things. , allowing animals and machines, or even humans and machines, to give birth to new creatures.
"As a result, the world was plunged into turmoil for thirty years until the arrival of Utopia."
Milo showed a true expression and listened to the other party continue to explain: "Although according to the existing records, Utopia is the highest creation of mankind, in fact Utopia is not a power within the world, but originates from outside the world. , is a place in the outer world that mankind accidentally discovered during the most chaotic thirty years. They captured it, discovered its unique spiritual characteristics, and built a new spiritual order system with it as the core. To fight against the pervasive The breath of chaos all over the world.”
"But unfortunately, this move was not successful. The pace of chaos has not stopped. It is still affecting the entire world, and gradually shifted from affecting fertility to affecting life itself. A large number of humans have mutated. In order to curb this Phenomenon, mankind has proposed a plan to upload the spirit and live eternally in the Utopia."
