Eternal Night

Chapter 282: So close, so close that everyone is the enemy!
Gao Changgong's guild hall is very large and has complete internal facilities. It is completely sufficient for Wu Xianxiao and others to stay in, so Wu Xianxiao will not be polite.

They were all friends who had been through life and death together. When they fought in the Land of Redemption, they were all people who could trust each other, so there was naturally no need to say anything more at this time.

That afternoon, the twelve newcomers went to learn about this world on their own, while Wu Xianxiao and Gao Changgong talked about the battle in the Land of Redemption and the days after they separated.

"Everything else is just trivia. It's nothing more than developing the dream world, managing the shelter, managing personal connections, training newcomers, and finding more resources for extraordinary people and veterans... Basically, there were no changes until the Land of Redemption appeared."

Gao Changgong poured a glass of brandy for Wu Xianxiao, and he poured himself a glass, then sat opposite Wu Xianxiao, drinking and saying, "To be honest, whether there is a place of salvation or not is two completely different things for us humans. Without it, we are rootless duckweed, drifting with the flow. Even if we still have Gaia and the shelter of the dream world, we will have no problem living and surviving, but as time goes by, we humans will eventually lose our centripetal force and get lost in these countless dream worlds."

Wu Xianxiao nodded in agreement.

In fact, if it weren't for the negative backlash in his mind and the watchful eyes and pull of terrifying beings like the Mother of No Birth and the even more unpredictable Buddhist world, he would not have to return to Gaia after establishing a level 5 shelter in the Song Dynasty.

The mastermind has no subjective initiative, and the maintenance personnel themselves actually have no mandatory obligations.

If there were no dream world and no drastic changes, they would only be able to rely on Gaia to survive, honestly working as maintenance personnel, and then either reach the deadline or die of old age, gambling on the possibility of eventually going to a new solar system.

However, with the drastic changes in the dream world, it may be a tragedy for the entire human civilization, but it is a great opportunity for them. There may be a possibility of death, but they have truly escaped from this cage and even have a brighter future.

Similar to Wu Xianxiao, he could have become the king of the world in the dream world of the 0.7 Song Dynasty, lived for thousands of years, enjoyed all the glory and wealth, and lived his life in ease.

This is actually what Gao Changgong is worried about. As the maintenance personnel become stronger, after they have passed the initial weak period in the dream world, most of them will no longer be able to risk their lives to explore anything, and they may not even return to Gaia.

Where is living not living?
Just like what Wu Xianxiao said in the Super Soldier Dream World, just a few thousand dollars a month, are you going to risk your life for it?

If this continues, the human civilization from Gaia will inevitably disappear, and the real world will be completely integrated into the dream world.

Gao Changgong drank the wine in his glass in one gulp. He exhaled and said, "I am not the only one who sees this future. Many knowledgeable people have seen it. However, this is the general trend and we can do nothing about it. At most, we can barely form a bond as a team. But what's the use? The world is bustling with people coming here for profit. If integrating into the dream world brings greater benefits, even if our generation can stick to the real world, what about our next generation? In less than two hundred years at most, human civilization in the real world will completely disappear, and Gaia... will probably become dead silent again."

Wu Xianxiao took a sip of wine and said casually: "We can imagine it, and so can Chu Minghao."

Gao Changgong smiled and said, "That's right, Mr. Chu Minghao, he also thought of this, so there was the Redemption War. That war was actually a battle for the survival of our human race. Although it was not a complete victory, we still have this piece of land of more than 200,000 square kilometers. Anyone can penetrate into this world through Gaia's designation."

"This world is slightly higher than the 0.9 world and slightly lower than the real world, but there are no nightmares or monsters, and there is no need to worry about any external dangers. This is actually equivalent to the second Earth for us humans!"

Wu Xianxiao nodded silently again.

Gaia is located in the real world of One Point Zero. It is certainly the ark of human civilization, but it is only an "ark". In the real world, human civilization has truly destroyed the solar system. As a last resort, it must sail for thousands of years to reach the distant universe, and now the voyage is not even half of that.

Even if Chu Minghao really cleared out and connected the entire Gaia, creating a safe Gaia environment for all maintenance personnel and citizens, it would not be the world, and there would be no grass, ocean, or sky. To everyone, it would still be just a huge spaceship.

But with this land of redemption, everything is different.

Human beings of the same race and origin will gradually develop cohesion in this completely safe place with a political order that conforms to their values.

"And after Mr. Chu Minghao was sworn in as president, he vowed to start more redemption missions in the future and slowly expand this world into a true second Earth for humans, or even a super Earth. This is a great vow, and we all trust him. If he can't do it, no one in the world can do it. Because of this, the branch of the unified human government can be successfully established, and more and more maintenance personnel and citizens are awakening. They don't even want to enter the dream world, but come here directly from Gaia. I don't know whether this is good or bad."

There was some worry on Gao Changgong's face, but this worry was probably similar to "playing games is too demotivating, how can I do well in the college entrance examination?" It was not a really important worry.

Wu Xianxiao just drank in silence, while Gao Changgong smiled cheerfully and said, "I think too much. In fact, I have talked and deduced with many people, including some former unified government think tank personnel, about this. Our view is that as the development of the dream world continues and as Gaia continues to sail, as long as we humans can stabilize the current situation, at most a hundred years later, our human civilization will become a parallel world civilization, or a cross-dream world civilization, which is a far more advanced type of civilization than a single cosmic civilization."

“Think about it. We can continue to sail towards the new solar system in the universe and continue to develop science and technology. At the same time, in this land of salvation, which is the second home of mankind, we can expand our territory and multiply the population. Then, adventurers will explore new branches of science and technology from the dream world, and return with the supernatural power system, and constantly feed back to human civilization. By then, we humans will have both science and supernatural power, and the life expectancy and strength of all people will increase significantly... The future is foreseeable!”

“Our human civilization will become the savior of all worlds, bringing hope, peace, and strength to save the worlds ruled by nightmares and monsters. Starting from this land of salvation, we will become the true light of salvation and save all free people from top to bottom!” At this point, Gao Changgong's face was full of excitement and hope, his eyes seemed to be shining, while Wu Xianxiao just drank silently.

Gao Changgong smiled to himself and said, "I'm already an adult, but I'm still so immature... I'm sorry to embarrass you."

"Do not."

Wu Xianxiao put down his wine glass and shook his head, saying, "It's a very good future. I like it too."

Gao Changgong was naturally overjoyed, and he said to Wu Xianxiao earnestly: "So Mr. Chu Minghao must exist. He is the only one who can fight against those root-level terrors. He is also the only one who has the strength, ability, and prestige to unify everything of mankind. In addition to the threat of nightmares, we also have the threat of restoration of the company and the People's Revolutionary League... Without Mr. Chu Minghao, all this glorious future is just a fantasy!"

"Mr. Wu Xianxiao, please help us rescue Mr. Chu Minghao!"

Gao Changgong stood up, extremely serious and bowed to Wu Xianxun sincerely.

Wu Xianxiao did not avoid it, he took on the responsibility.

After bowing, he stood up, clasped his fists and said solemnly, "How dare you disobey my command?"

Chu Minghao's temperament was very much to his liking, and he had received great kindness from others. Although he teased them, he really intended to save Chu Minghao, and he was willing to repay a drop of kindness with a spring. Even if he had to risk his life, he would definitely save Chu Minghao!
Gao Changgong felt relieved. He and Wu Xianxiao took their seats. Gao Changgong said to Chu Minghao, "Including Mr. Wu, there are seven presidential candidates in total. Only after all the presidential candidates are present can we convene a presidential proxy meeting. At this meeting, each presidential candidate can propose a proposal, and the seven presidential candidates will jointly decide whether the proposal is passed. As long as there are four votes in favor, the proposal can be submitted to the mastermind as a statutory proposal for the mastermind to judge. At the same time, it can also be used to gain partial control over the mastermind."

"This is also what I said, Mr. Wu can take this opportunity to enter the main brain and awaken the super brain attribute!"

Wu Xianxiao was also envious of the super brain.

This is really a super plug-in, a real golden thigh. If he can awaken the super brain, he may not be as powerful as Chu Minghao or as weird as Liang Min immediately, but at least he has the real core strength to catch up.

And if he is truly the infinite super brain of the future, then his future potential is endless!

Gao Changgong then said with a little concern: "At present, there are two other presidential candidates who have clearly expressed their intention to save Mr. Chu Minghao, but the other four presidential candidates are uncertain... I am contacting some old friends and senior extraordinary people that Mr. Wu knows. They all have great influence and have a great role in this land of salvation..."

"No need."

Wu Xianxiao waved his hand and said, "How do we hold a meeting? An online meeting?"

Gao Changgong was stunned for a moment and said, "No, hold a real meeting in this place of salvation, in the government building."

"That's it."

Wu Xianxiao felt relieved. He said, "I'll give them a chance to convince me. If they really make sense not to rescue him for the time being, then I will obey. But if they are just fighting for power, or if they really treat Chu Minghao as a consumable and let him suppress Weekend, then..."

Wu Xianxiao shook his head slightly and didn't say the rest.

In a real meeting, in one room, wouldn’t everything be within five steps of him?

If there really is such a person, then he is just around the corner...

Everyone is an enemy country!
