She originally planned to take a nap for a while, but after not sleeping all night, coupled with the injury, the double exhaustion made her fall into a deep dream as soon as she closed her eyes.
This time she dreamed of a white world.
"This is where"?
Lin Qingqing asked loudly in the dream, but no one could answer her. The surroundings were all gray and white, and there was nothing else.
She tried to walk in different directions around her, but found nothing. This vast white space seemed to have no end.
At this moment, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of him. It was a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky. The bright light stood out in the gray-white space.
That beam of light seemed to be a sign and a signal. Lin Qingqing couldn't help but run towards the direction of the beam of light. Only when she got there did she see clearly what was inside the beam of light.
This is a straight chain, three times as thick as her, with both ends connected between heaven and earth. Standing under the chain, she is as small as looking at a tall tower. Only the first section is taller than her entire body. .
She raised her head and counted, there were nine sections in total from bottom to top of this sky-reaching chain.
Except for the first paragraph, which is in a "lit" state, the above eight paragraphs all present a gray state.
There is a node between each section. These eight nodes are like locks, or checkpoints that block the upward path of light.
The last section is directly connected to the vast sky, with no end in sight.
"What on earth is this"?
Lin Qingqing subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch it, but when she reacted, her hand was already on the chain.
The first section that was "lit" showed a transparent ice blue color, which felt cold to the touch, with a hint of air-conditioning coming out. After being touched by her, the chain trembled slightly as if it was alive.
"It seems to like me very much"?
As if to confirm her thoughts, the chain moved again.
"It can feel my thoughts"?
Moved again...
"You are not in my body, are you?"
Lin Qingqing was startled, and then the chain shook even more violently, as if she was happy that she could see it.
Lin Qingqing was startled by her own thoughts and took two steps back unconsciously.
The first dream allowed her to awaken her powers, so could this dream have any meaning?
After Lin Qingqing calmed down, she took a closer look at this magical chain with her own thoughts.
The entire chain is actually made up of two parallel pieces, which are connected to each other, nestled and spiraling up.
Suddenly, she felt that the style of this chain was particularly familiar.
"This spiraling deconstruction is like, like..."
Just like the double helix structure of DNA, if you look closely, they are exactly the same, but this one is magnified countless times.
Stretching out her hands again, the familiar cold touch was exactly the same as her ice skates and ice blades. Lin Qingqing was instantly blessed: "Could this be my DNA gene chain?"
She intuitively felt that her guess was correct.
"If this is a hint from a dream, what is it trying to tell me?"
If you look carefully, the node at the top of the first chain is also "lit", and this state has begun to climb past the nodes toward the second chain.
"If this chain represents my superpower, then does the first segment and the first node that are "lit" mean that I have been promoted from the first level to the second level? There are nine chains in total, does that mean There are nine levels of superpowers in total? Now she has just been promoted to level two"? Lin Qingqing made a bold guess.
"What else is there above the ninth level?"
She raised her head and looked at the top of the chain, which represented the ninth level. The final point was hidden in a gray-white cloud.
Lin Qingqing stared at the cloud above her head, always feeling that there should be something above it.
Just when she was thinking about climbing up the chain to find out what was going on, her body suddenly fell from the air.
As the dream collapsed, Lin Qingqing opened her eyes.
It was already dark now, and she hurriedly climbed down from the tree without thinking about the situation in her dream.
Arriving outside the courtyard wall of the farmhouse, Lin Qingqing discovered that the fire on the three floors had been extinguished at some point. There were burnt marks everywhere, and there were many zombies wandering in the front yard, but there was no living person. There are no people left.
"Captain Xiao and the others have left"?
Lin Qingqing was dumbfounded when she realized that she was the only one left here.
At this time, the zombie closest to her sensed the presence of a living person and walked toward her in a dangling manner.
Lin Qingqing glanced at the naked zombie with disgust, condensed two ice blades from a distance, and inserted them into the zombie's eyes with a "pop" sound.
The sound of the corpse falling to the ground attracted the attention of two more zombies. Lin Qingqing looked back and frowned.
"Why are you naked again?"
And not only these three, but less than half of the remaining zombies, including those on the ground, were naked.
"Did they run naked together before they were alive?"
Lin Qingqing was amused by her thoughts. After cutting down two zombies again, a small card on the zombie's wrist caught her attention.
"What is this? Peony Garden Hot Spring Villa, No. 1026."
She recognized the handwriting on the small sign, and the numbers behind it were familiar and should be the number of a certain room or storage cabinet.
oh! Peony Garden Hot Spring Villa! The zombies are from the Hot Spring Villa!
Lin Qingqing remembered that when Xiao Lu reported the situation yesterday, he said that there was indeed a hot spring villa not far from here.
It seems that these zombies should have crawled out of the hot spring pool? No wonder she's naked!
Lin Qingqing looked at the group of zombies still wandering around the farmhouse and thought: Since they were all lured away from the hot spring villa by Zhou Mang, wouldn't it be a good idea for me to go to the villa now?
There is really no end to the road. Lin Qingqing picked up her bag, looked at the direction, and walked in the direction where the zombies had come.
There was no one on the road, she was the only one walking on the wide road.
Occasionally she encountered one or two lost zombies, but she killed them all easily. Including the ones she killed before, she also got six crystal cores. Unfortunately, they were all with basic five-element attributes, and none of them were special.
Lin Qingqing couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Crystal nuclei with mutated properties are really rare, but fortunately I have meditation skills!
"I wonder how Captain Xiao and the others are doing. They don't think I'm dead, do they?"
This is difficult to handle, and I don’t know the way to the Rongcheng base.
"But there seems to be no need to go to the Rongcheng base. Captain Xiao and the others have to take missions and change potions at the base. I don't need potions myself, and I don't have a team for the missions."
Lin Qingqing subconsciously ruled out the idea of joining a team. In her opinion, staying with several strangers all the time is not as free as being alone.
Moreover, he is already a second-level superpower. Whether it is killing zombies or finding supplies, he can do it all by himself without the help of others.
"If this is the case, is there any point in going to Rongcheng Base?"
Lin Qingqing is a little confused. After the apocalypse, she has been running for survival and strength, but now that she has strength, survival should not be a problem, so what other goals does she have?
She walked and thought about it all the way. The five-kilometer journey was enough for her to recall her previous experiences several times.
At this moment, she thought of the chain in her dream again. She stopped and raised her head to look at the clouds in the sky. There seemed to be a chain that reached straight to the sky.
What is at the end of the chain? Is there another world above those clouds?
"I really want to go up and have a look"!
Lin Qingqing blinked, and such an impulse suddenly emerged in her heart.
After a while, she lowered her head and said to herself: "If you want to see it, go and see it. Go to the cloud at the end of the chain and see it!"
