Eternal Night

Chapter 279 Enjoyment and Awakening

In the end, Wu Xianxiao had no idea why the pink snake knew his name.

Although he had thought that maybe he was called "Pifu" instead of his name "Xianxiao", but considering that the other party was a nightmare or something, it would not be too careful.

After all, the dream world is full of strange things, demons, ghosts, gods, Buddhas and everything in between. If these things knew his name, he would probably be cursed or something. He was not so afraid of curses now, but he was afraid that the curse would implicate the people around him.

However, in the end, the answer was still unknown, and Wu Xianxiao could only keep this matter in mind. If he encountered some inexplicable dangers in the future, it must be that he was cursed by this pink snake or the monster behind it. At that time, he would have to see if there was any way to locate it, and then go in personally to kill it.

Wu Xianxiao walked around the small square with a bird and a dog, clearing it out along the way. Some small monsters could not even see him and were directly burned to death by his physique from a distance.

After confirming again and again that the small square was definitely clean, Wu Xianxiao took the bird and the dog to appreciate the functional buildings in the small square.

The first is naturally the most important medical area station. The internal area is ten times larger than the medical base station. It stores about 80,000 carbon-based nano units and has several large professional instruments that can specifically target various physical deformations. For example, some problems like deep radiation can be solved thoroughly in the repair cabin, and these instruments can also solve them perfectly.

It can be said that this is the biggest gain of the cleanup operation. After all, the medical base station that Wu Xianxiao had obtained before did not have many carbon-based nanounits left. If he continued to sleep for a year or two, the carbon-based nanounits in the medical base station might not be enough.

In addition to this, there are two food processing shops, two clothing and sundry goods processing shops, a spa, an entertainment hall, and a sauna room. These are the functional buildings in the entire small square.

After all, it is just a small square shared by several communities. It is also the Gaia ship that carries humans across the starry sea. It is actually very good to have such a large public space.

A real large square requires second-level or even third-level citizens to open the isolation wall. It is a square exclusive to a large region with almost all the functional buildings on it, providing everything for food, clothing, housing and transportation. Almost all the technological conveniences that humans could enjoy in the 29th century can be obtained there.

Extending outward, the most central location is the Central Square, which is the largest public area shared by Districts A to Z. It is said that the main brain is located below the Central Square, and it is a place that requires a very high citizen title to open.

However, those were too far away from Wu Xianxiao. He was only a first-level citizen now. Moreover, to upgrade his citizen title, he needed to use precious personal attributes to get a first-level reward. He didn't even have enough to upgrade his skills. Forcing himself to be a first-level citizen was just a way to covet the personal space of a citizen.

If there is no other way to upgrade his citizenship level, then he will definitely not consider continuing to upgrade it for a long time.

The current small square is completely sufficient for his use, and there is no need to upgrade his citizenship title level.

Wu Xianxiao immediately took the bird and the dog into a food processing shop. These food shops can process carbon-based nano units into any kind of food, and the flavor and food ingredients can be selected by the customer. One of the two shops has a Sichuan restaurant flavor, and the other has an extremely dark and terrifying British cuisine flavor. This can be considered a blessing in disguise, and Wu Xianxiao naturally took the lead and entered the shop with Sichuan restaurant flavor.

A simple dish of smashed cucumber, fried rice with egg, and tomato and egg soup. After taking the first bite, Wu Xianxiao lowered his head, and beads of sweat dripped into the bowl.

Daphne sat next to him and patted Wu Xianxiao's shoulder with her paw, while Jiujiu landed beside Wu Xianxiao's face and touched his face with his head.

"…It's okay. I just ate too fast and choked…"

Wu Xianxiao raised his head slightly and continued to eat his food in big mouthfuls.

In his memory of his childhood, he had a good relationship with his parents. Both of his parents were the kind of parents who cared about their children and would talk to them. However, they were too busy. It was a busy era, and everyone had to work hard to make money and try their best to survive. In order to live a better life and for him to obtain more educational resources and future assets, his parents were even busier.

In his fragmented memories, he basically ordered takeout on Saturdays and Sundays since junior high school, but occasionally at noon or in the evening, one of his parents would take time to go home and make him a bowl of fried rice with smashed cucumbers or other cold dishes, a tomato and egg soup, or a bowl of noodles or a bowl of frozen dumplings.

He can eat happily every time, not because of the food, but because his parents are by his side...

Wu Xianxiao finished a big bowl of egg fried rice in big mouthfuls, licked the cucumber and even the sauce clean, and finally gulped down all the tomato and egg soup.

There was a warm feeling in my heart. Although it was missing a lot of things, this meal was more delicious than the court dishes I had eaten in the Song Dynasty.

After finishing the meal, Wu Xianxiao took the bird and the dog to the sauna... After all, he had to draw cards next, no, to wake up new people, so he just went to the sauna, then the cold and hot springs, followed by the mechanical scrubbing and massage. After the whole process, Wu Xianxiao felt really refreshed.

The key is the technology of the 29th century. Even animals have corresponding processes, such as steaming, washing, and plucking... This one doesn't have that. Anyway, after the whole process, even Jiujiu and Daphne looked like they were enjoying it.

These functional buildings are completely free for citizens and there is no need to consume anything. Wu Xianxiao hummed a song, holding Huang on his left and Cang on his right, and walked towards the hibernation cabin in a swagger.

After some enjoyment, now is a good time to start drawing cards!
"Fifty rounds in a row... or one at a time?"

Wu Xianxiao was in a state of happiness. After thinking for a long time, he decided to do three single draws first. If there was no problem, he would go all in. Wu Xianxiao stood in the dormant cabin and said, "Mastermind, wake up a dormant maintenance worker."

Soon, a hibernation capsule rose from under the metal ground. Wu Xianxiao looked at the capsule with excitement. After a few seconds, tentacles stretched out enthusiastically from the capsule...

What emerged from the second hibernation chamber were chitinous limbs...

After the third hibernation capsule was opened, no one was seen...

Wu Xianxiao fell into some strange contemplation.

This shouldn't be the case. He has also tried the real way to increase the delivery rate (clearing the surrounding weird nightmares), and he has also tried all the metaphysical methods (showering, changing clothes and washing hands). Why is this situation wrong?! ?
But since the draw had already begun, Wu Xianxiao naturally couldn't stop. While waking up, he carefully sensed the situation inside these dormant pods. However, even with his current perception, he couldn't actually perform any penetrating perception inside. In the end, what he got was all based on luck, and it was damned luck...

After fifty draws, there were only twelve new recruits. The remaining thirty-eight hibernation capsules were filled with either tentacles, rotten meat, various chitinous crustaceans, or nothing at all without even a hair.

When the fifty awakening quotas were used up, Wu Xianxiao showed a puzzled expression as if he was about to smuggle to Europe, and the other twelve newcomers were all trembling with fear. Even the last newcomer who was awakened saw with his own eyes that Wu Xianxiao beat at least three monsters into meat paste. There was also an empty hibernation capsule, but when the hatch was opened, everyone heard without a doubt a howl that seemed to come from hell.

In this situation, even a fool would notice that something is wrong.

Moreover, among these twelve newcomers, someone immediately contacted the main brain on the spot, and the main brain repeatedly confirmed that these were not virtual images, and they were not in a virtual reality.

One of them was a middle-aged man who looked to be around fifty years old. He said to Wu Xianxiao with a serious look, "Mr. Citizen, may I ask what these are? Does this mean that the company has been revived?"

Upon hearing that the company was restored, everyone present showed expressions of shock and fear, but Wu Xianxiao had a keen sense. In particular, although he could not use the super brain, he could still vaguely sense emotions and human hearts. He clearly felt that two of the twelve people were actually excited, and one was furious.

There was something wrong with these three people.

However, Wu Xianxiao did not expose them. He just said to the twelve people: "Everyone, what I am about to say may be unbelievable to you, but I promise that everything I say is true. Please don't interrupt me before I finish. After that, I will give you some time to think and confirm."

At that moment, Wu Xianxiao told all the information about Gaia's shocking changes, the emergence of the dream world, the functional changes of the main brain, his general experience, and the formation of the Land of Redemption.

After hearing all this, the twelve people had different emotional expressions. Most of them had expressions of disbelief and confusion on their faces. Only three people, the fifty-year-old middle-aged man who had just asked the question, a beautiful woman over 1.8 meters tall with a figure like a model, and a boy of about fourteen years old, had calm expressions. They showed neither disbelief nor whispered doubts.

Wu Xianxiao clapped his hands and said, "Do you have any questions? If you have any, I will try my best to answer them. Just like when I was taken care of by the seniors, I will try my best to take care of you until you are able to stand on your own."

Seeing someone was about to ask a question, the old man immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't bother, Mr. Citizen. The simplest and most direct way to verify is for us to enter the Land of Redemption. If there really is an office of the Human Unified Government there, then I know some people in the government. I believe that as long as we talk to them once, we will immediately know the truth of all this. In addition... I do have a personal question, sir. Is the name of the person engraved on the wall your former teammate?"

Wu Xianxiao looked at the name carved on the wall not far away. He felt sad and said to the old man, "Is it Xu Shilan? She is indeed my former teammate. She..."

The old man shook his head. Although he looked to be about fifty years old, his eyes were still sharp. He said, "It's the name Amade. There were almost no such names in the 29th century, so... it's a man, right? Big and strong, a warrior."

Wu Xianxiao nodded to the old man in surprise.

The old man looked slightly gloomy, and he exhaled and said, "He is a good soldier under my command."

Neither the old man nor Wu Xianxiao spoke. At this time, the fourteen-year-old boy said to Wu Xianxiao: "Sir, can we go to the land of salvation?"

Wu Xianxiao immediately came back to his senses. Looking at the majority of people who were worried, he smiled and said, "Of course, we can go now. The way to go is very simple. Just lie down in the hibernation capsule and tell the main brain to penetrate the designated dream world redemption place."

"This is my first time entering as well. If you still don't believe me, you can watch me enter first, and then you can decide whether to enter or not."

At that moment, Wu Xianxiao nodded slightly to the old man, and without paying attention to the reactions of the others, he lay down directly in the hibernation capsule. Jiujiu and Daphne naturally followed him immediately, one perched on his legs and the other standing on his chest.

"Mastermind, penetrate the designated dream world, target..."

“The place of redemption.”
