Blind Date in Time and Space

The empty doomsday base was pitch dark and so quiet that no trace of life could be found, and no sound could even be heard.

Is this the underground base that people built after the sun went out?

Zhou Wan stood on the balcony more than 20 stories high, holding Chen Ji's arm with one hand and looking around curiously with a flashlight.

She had seen such a scene in her dreams, and had also traveled with Chen Ji in her dreams, but this was the first time she had actually seen it with her own eyes.

According to Da Zhou, the Haicheng Doomsday Base is located one thousand meters below the ground and relies on the endless power of life power crystals to provide energy. The entire city is full of mutated mycelium, and there are maglev trains in the sky at all times. run.

But at this moment, Zhou Wan could not see any life.

Everything was quiet and pitch black.

Um.

Chen Ji nodded, The residential buildings are very close together, almost like a village in the city. The dormitory assigned to you is already one of the rooms with the best view in the city.

After all, you gave 'me' a lot of merit points.

Zhou Wan smiled, pulled him back into the room, and touched the furniture in the living room with her gloved hands. Sure enough, she felt the smoothness, which proved that the moisture in the air had just condensed.

amazing!

Zhou Wan was very surprised, This entire city seems to have been frozen in time, and changes only occurred when we arrived... Why do you think that is?

The young female president of a company valued at 50 billion in the main world turned her head and asked curiously.

How do I know? I can only rely on testing.

Chen Ji laughed.

What about your guess?

You just guessed that time here was frozen? I have a different point of view from you. I guess this place was just created.

Just created? An entire city?!

Zhou Wan looked surprised and looked outside the balcony again.

Such a huge underground city had just been created when she and Chen Ji traveled through?

The reason why I guess so is because Shumin and I came here last time.

Chen Ji explained: When we were in your wine room, she said it was too dark, and a lantern with candlelight appeared in the basement outside. She also said she was hungry, and cakes appeared in your living room.

Zhou Wan frowned: But I'm not her, so I can't follow my words... Do you mean that this world has the ability to create things quickly?

She reacted and saw Chen Ji.

Yes, at least this world can restore a bombed-out building.

...Your guess is very reasonable~, better than mine.

Zhou Wan was convinced by him.

It's not that time has started to flow, but that this small world has just created the underground city.

It's like the Big Bang!

Zhou Wan followed Chen Ji's train of thought and continued: The difference is that the Big Bang only produced elementary particles, which were disordered, but here... this city is an underground city based on another world in our memory. An orderly and civilized city was created.”

Chen Ji blinked at her: How about it, do you feel uncomfortable having your memory read?

Does this world have a will? Zhou Wan asked back.

If it is completely unconscious, I guess it won't do this. But if the world's will is compared to a person and it thinks like a person, I think it's impossible.

Chen Ji became an immortal in the world of martial arts, driving dragons and phoenixes to create the first immortal sword, driving the will of heaven in disguise.

In addition, he also learned from Mu Xiaoxiao's mouth that the Nine Realms Destiny was born with his own eyes, and from Astana that the four pillar gods of the Divine Grace Continent were born from the beginning.

Therefore, he has a certain understanding of the will of the world.

It has its own consciousness, but it doesn't think like humans.

If that's all it is, it's still acceptable.

Zhou Wan nodded slightly, If the will of the world really thinks like humans and observes our memories living in the world, then I will feel awkward and disgusted.

However, these are just our guesses.

“It’s easy to verify.”

Chen Ji took her hand and walked out the door.

I didn't take the two bags with me and left them in the room. These supplies were originally intended to be given directly to Wang Shaodang and others, but now they are inconvenient to carry and can only be thrown in the room.

Zhou Wan guessed what he wanted to do, held his hand tightly, and used a flashlight to illuminate the front.

The two walked hand in hand like a couple.

The dark corridor is illuminated, and the corridor is no different from the doomsday base.

But then.

Chen Ji knocked on the door next door and opened the door after confirming that no one was there.

The furniture inside is exactly the same as that of Da Zhouwan's house.

Chen Ji went to another house on the same floor and opened the door.

It doesn't seem to have changed?

Zhou Wan looked inside and frowned slightly.

Three bedrooms and one living room...it's impossible that there will be no changes.

Chen Ji said firmly, pulling her in and opening the bedroom door.

Sure enough, there was a very small room inside, smaller than an ordinary bathroom. It seemed to have been compressed out of thin air, which looked very weird.

I see.

In the darkness, a smile appeared on Zhou Wan's delicate face illuminated by the light, This house is not supposed to have three bedrooms and one living room, but two bedrooms and one living room.

That's right!

Chen Ji took her hand and walked to the balcony, Let's go downstairs and have a look.

Let's take the stairs.

It's okay, I can take you flying!

It's not that I don't believe you, it's just to save some immortal power. What will happen if it runs out?

Zhou Wan dragged him to the stairs, saying that it would be easy to go downstairs and he would soon be on the first floor.

In such a strange and strange world, Chen Ji and the abilities of the two of them were the reason why she had the courage to stay here. If Chen Ji was not around, she would not want to stay for a minute.

As stingy as a thrifty little daughter-in-law, I have to save this point. Chen Ji muttered.

What did you say?

No, I said you are so thoughtful!

snort.

Zhou Wan hummed softly, stepped on her snow boots to the stairs, and pulled Chen Ji down.

On the first few floors, everything was fine.

But after descending to the fifth or sixth floor, he turned a corner and Zhou Wan's flashlight shone forward.

ah!

she exclaimed.

Ahead, the stairs that were supposed to have only a dozen or so turns turned out to be very long, leading all the way to a dark place, like leading to hell, which was extremely scary.

Don't be afraid, let's go.

Chen Ji calmly pulled her forward. Zhou Wan's legs were a little weak. She squeezed the flashlight and squeezed his hand. After walking forward for a while, she realized that the stairs led to the outside of the building. It was dark outside. The stairs to the next level disappeared.

I'll give it a try.

Chen Ji didn't discuss it with her this time, and used his immortal power to step on the stairs, making a rumble that was particularly harsh in the quiet underground doomsday base.

Fortunately, the next staircase is revealed.

The two of them continued down.

Not far away, there was a wall blocking the way. Chen Ji kicked it away and continued down.

Gradually, the shapes of the stairs and the building became twisted and weird. The stairs connected the rooms, the sofas were tucked into the walls, the refrigerators grew on the stairs, and the balcony led to the kitchen...

ten minutes later.

Confirmed!

Chen Ji and Zhou Wan stood on the street, let out a long breath, and said: This world, or this doomsday base, is only created based on the shallow memories of me and you. Except for Zhou Wan's room, other places are It's just empty... just like in a 3D game, all high-rise buildings are empty.

The doomsday base building in this small world is even more extreme than the buildings in the game.

It was completely created by force. Only the appearance is consistent, but the inside is a mess.

Just now, Chen Ji and Zhou Wan saw a maglev train on the platform. After entering, the train was only slightly icy and everything was intact.

But Chen Ji went to the train cab and took a look. Sure enough, it was a mess. There were no instruments at all, let alone an engine.

The reason is that Chen Ji and Zhou Wan have ridden in a maglev car, but have not seen the cab.

The whole city seems to be like this.

Zhou Wan said: Only a rough shape, no more details... Fortunately, you and I took the train to the ground instead of taking the elevator.

She smiled brightly at Chen Ji.

This sentence is quite subtle.

Chen Ji was on the train with the older Zhou Wan, but the younger Zhou Wan was now talking about herself.

Chen Ji didn't know whether she felt it subconsciously or for other reasons. He didn't ask, at least now she was Xiao Zhou Wan.

in addition.

What Zhou Wan meant was that the two of them took the train from the tunnel to the ground. According to the previous conclusion, there should be a tunnel leading to the ground.

If she took the elevator directly up, and there was no electricity or engines or other facilities, Chen Ji would have to fly with her if she wanted to get to the ground.

Don't watch it?

Chen Ji asked her.

Don't look, it should be similar in other places. Zhou Wan looked around, It's pitch dark, and the exit tunnel is hard to find. Where is she? Is the car ready?

While the two were exploring, Chen Ji had already told Zhou Wan about these matters. At that time, Zhou Wan asked her to find a car and send it over.

It should be soon.

The two stood in the empty street waiting.

A few minutes later, the car arrived.

A BMW x5 appeared in front of Chen Ji, and Zhou Wan recognized it at a glance. It was the car assigned to Aunt Liu to go shopping for groceries.

Time is tight, you can use this one first.

Da Zhouwan sent a message, Do you need anything else? If not, I'm going out and going to the company.

No need for now, you want to negotiate the contract? Actually, it doesn't have to be that tiring.

Let her be.

Zhou Wan pulled Chen Ji into the car, without explaining to him why Zhou Wan was asked to negotiate the contract, and said, Let's go out and see if this place is located on the outskirts of Haicheng, and if we can still find those people from the world.

She didn't have a deep impression of the Jianghu people from the martial arts world, she only remembered their names.

Don't worry yet, let's go to another place, maybe we can gain something.

Chen Ji started the car, and the headlights of the car illuminated the street very brightly. The beam of light penetrated half of the city, making the place a little more lively.

You mean...World Tree?

Zhou Wan guessed it right away.

Soon, the two arrived at the research center in the center of the Doomsday Base.

It was also empty. Chen Ji and Zhou Wan quickly arrived at a garden inside the research center.

There are no flowers, plants or trees in the garden. There is only a big withered tree standing on the dirt floor in the middle. When the light shines on it, the crisscrossing branches of the trees give people a heavy feeling of death, as if the world has died and no vitality remains. .

In fact, there is almost no life in this small space of the four realms. There are only mutant creatures fighting in the sea city.

The World Tree in front of us is the only big tree in the world.

Is it a branch?

Chen Ji stepped forward, broke off a section of a branch, and asked Zhou Wan to illuminate it with a flashlight to see the texture of the branch.

Like a branch!

Zhou Wan raised her head and looked at Chen Ji.

In this small world, the withered World Tree in front of us is the only place where there is a little bit of life.

Well, it does look like it.

Chen Ji originally wanted to throw away the branch, but changed his mind and put the branch in his pocket. After Zhou Wan thought about it, he also broke off a section and put it in his arms.

Think of it as a souvenir of this time traveling around the world.

Chen Ji took out his cell phone and sent a message to the Divine Saint of Divine Grace Continent just like before:

Astana, are you there?

In the Church of the Creator, the Starlight Goddess who was praying suddenly opened her eyes and raised her head to look at the dome in surprise: God, your believers will always love you and respond to your call.

Since the last time, Astana's prayers to him have quietly changed.

I will always love you, always accompany you, always serve you, and be willing to do anything for you...

Chen Ji blushed when he heard this.

Ahem, it's nothing. I just want to tell you something.

After telling Astana briefly about the matter, Chen Ji looked up at Zhou Wan and saw her looking at his phone with a strange look in her eyes.

Zhou Wan, actually...

Astana will always love the great Creator... so disgusting.

I can explain this!

Why explain?

Zhou Wan pushed Chen Ji, who was in embarrassment, and pursed her lips at his phone, Your devout elf believer has sent you another message. Please reply to her quickly.

Chen Ji inexplicably smelled the sour smell of a vinegar jar that had been knocked over.

Illusion?

No, Astana is not an elf, the elves are the other seven.

But he didn't dare to say this.

…

Unfortunately, Astana's communication with him did not trigger anything to happen. Everything was normal. The World Tree, which was either withered or just empty, remained unchanged.

Let's go.

Chen Ji took Zhou Wan's hand again and returned to the car with her.

There was nothing interesting to see in this doomsday base. Chen Ji stepped on the accelerator and searched around the city for a tunnel to leave. He finally found the exit according to the approximate direction he remembered last time.

The tunnel was spacious enough to drive a car. Chen Ji drove Zhou Wan all the way up and reached the ground in less than half an hour.

Cold, ice and snow were coming, and there was a dim light in the sky. There was no sun, no moon, no stars.

But it turns out that this is still the small space of the Four Realms, where the sky lit up after the little lady shouted Let there be sunshine last time.

This is indeed the entrance to the Haishi Doomsday Base, yes.

Chen Ji said to Zhou Wan in the passenger seat.

I remember this place.

Zhou Wan looked out the window: You brought us here last time, but there was nothing here at that time, but now there are cave entrances and platforms... I wonder if those Jianghu people are here?

“Just go and see and you’ll find out!”

Chen Ji drove a BMW and drove all the way.

More than an hour later, we arrived near Zhou Wan's villa.

There is someone here!

Zhou Wan saw footprints on the road and the road was cleaner than other places, so he inferred that there was someone here.

Chen Ji drove the car into the villa community and pressed the horn to let the sound spread around.

Soon, voices came from the villa community.

who?!

Who's driving here?

Is it Mr. Chen?!

Hiss, it's him, Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen is here!!

Quickly, come out to greet Mr. Chen!

Brother Chen, did you bring wine?

A group of slovenly men in thick robes, but all armed with swords. After confirming that the person sitting in the car was Chen Ji, they immediately cheered up and shouted to the people in the villa to come out to greet them.

Wine? Of course!

Chen Ji smiled at them from the car window and said, You can drink whatever you want tonight, there will be wine coming soon!

Really?! Thank you Mr. Chen!

Hahaha, let's drink. Mr. Chen is indeed true to his word!

Seeing them cheering and laughing, Zhou Wan couldn't help but smile in her eyes.

It wasn't that she was happy to see Jianghu people, but that the arrival of Chen Ji and her gave hope to these people trapped in this small world, and the joy from the bottom of their faces infected her.

The scene of Chen Ji's arrival seemed to remind her of the difficult days when she was trapped in the basement, surrounded by darkness, coldness and hunger.

At that time, it was Chen Ji who gave her food and water...

Oh no, it’s for Da Zhou Wan.

But that's not important. She is also Zhou Wan, and Chen Ji is also Chen Ji, right?
