Post-Apocalyptic Survival Modpack

Chapter 107, Section 106: A Journey Through Nothingness

The long journey passed by in our perception.

Although he couldn't observe anything, Wang Ji always had a feeling in the room that the ancient-looking aircraft beneath him was traveling a very long distance towards some place.

My own world is gradually fading away, but I can still sense my location.

As expected, the Gate to the Immortal Realm failed. This thing cannot teleport across worlds. Once you leave the corresponding world, you will lose the signal, and the stars in the sky that represent the coordinates will turn into nothingness.

It seems the only way to go back now is by risking death.

However, the "don't drop items upon death" feature is no longer working; this function can only be enabled within your own Overworld.

From this perspective, the cost of getting home quickly becomes quite high.

However, there are solutions.

There is a spell called Ender Rift, which can open the Ender Chest at any time.

If you stuff all the items in your inventory into the Ender Chest before you die, you can effectively avoid losing anything upon death; at most, you'll lose a little experience, which is insignificant.

If you're willing to think, there's always a solution.

"The journey is very long."

While Wang Ji was lost in thought, Number Nine said from the side, "It will still take some time before we leave the doomsday vacuum zone. According to the standard time flow rate, it will take about 23 hours."

"If we were in a normal area, you might have seen our spaceship traversing countless worlds, constantly traveling through the chaotic spacetime lines of the spirit world. That scenery would definitely be worth seeing."

"But this is the apocalyptic vacuum zone. Its empty area is so large that nothing can be observed, only nothingness."

"That's a real pity." Wang Ji shook his head.

He had never actually seen what other worlds were like, let alone tried to observe the world from outside his own.

Thinking it over, Wang Ji said, "I once had a friend who wandered in the spirit world of this area for decades, but he couldn't find any other world."

"Decades?"

Number Nine exclaimed in surprise, "Your friend must be an extremely powerful world-class individual."

"The spirit realm is very dangerous. Below the world level, without any protection, one generally cannot last more than ten seconds."

"And there are differences even among world-class beings. Those who can survive eternally in the spirit world are all potential candidates for the creation level..."

"As expected of your friend."

Number Nine spoke with great admiration.

He didn't ask where his friend was, he just kept praising him and didn't say anything else.

Looking out at the indescribable chaos and emptiness, Wang Ji asked, "Has this area always been like this?"

"Probably not."

Number Nine's tone was somewhat uncertain.

"There are very few records about this area; they are mostly mentioned in passing without any detailed explanation."

"It's strange that even with my limited access, I can only view these brief mentions."

Wang Ji asked curiously, "What have you found out?"

"It is said that there was once a 'great civilization' here, but it was later 'blocked'. All information about the civilization disappeared, there is not a single record of it, and we don't even know what type of civilization it was."

Number Nine seemed to be noticing the vacuum zone message for the first time, and his expression was very confused.

At the same time, a strange feeling suddenly arose in my heart.

Something's not right. Something's definitely not right.

With such a large blank space and such an unusual situation right in front of me, why didn't I ever think to find out about it before?
Wait, this is...

[After reading, be sure to delete the memory and mentally block it.]

Upon seeing this prominent notification, Number Nine immediately felt relieved.

"Sorry, please wait a moment."

After telling Wang Ji, he hurriedly walked towards a room on the spaceship.

A moment later, when he returned, Number Nine's demeanor had returned to normal.

"Awaited."

"It seems we were talking about something we shouldn't have. Maybe we can change the subject?"

"Understandable."

Wang Ji responded and didn't continue the discussion. He only asked a few more random questions before ending the conversation.

The journey will take neither a long nor a short time.

Number Nine personally arranged a room for Wang Ji to rest.

This room is also quite unique; it doesn't have a fixed style. It can be customized to create any scene you want.

Or you can use the pre-made presets if you're too lazy to think of one.

Wang Ji immediately switched the room to his own cabin style and lay down on the bed.

He then opened his backpack panel and viewed the interface.

The folders from the old world are still there.

Other worlds that Auschwitz could not explore are about to be revealed.

The first step of exploration outwards has finally been taken, although only Wang Ji took this step.

But at least there's still hope.

Perhaps outsiders have ways to cope with the apocalypse and can obtain more information.

However, the specifics will only be known once we reach that 'administrative world'.

A flood of new information overwhelmed Wang Ji, leaving him quite disoriented.

The day passed quickly.

A notification light appeared in the room, and Wang Ji went out and met Number Nine, who was waiting there.

It seemed that there was no one else on the ship besides Wang Ji and Number Nine. From operating the spaceship to receiving Wang Ji, everything was done by Number Nine himself.

But considering that Number Nine is world-class, it doesn't seem surprising.

At this level, anyone below the world-class level would be a burden, and judging by the intelligence of this spaceship, it doesn't need any auxiliary personnel.

"Here we are."

The spaceship stopped its rapid jumps, and the previous blurry feeling of movement and shuttling was gone; it became more stable overall.

The sound of waves could be heard.

This is a new world.

Number Nine walked outside the spaceship, looked at the scene outside, and paused for a moment.

When Wang Ji came out, he turned around and introduced him:
"Welcome to Reception World Three."

"This is a world dedicated to receiving special VIPs. No one lives here, only necessary maintenance machines and puppets. You can order them to do anything you want."

Wang Ji couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised.

"There are places like this? That's so luxurious."

They're using an entire world as a reception room!
Number Nine smiled and said, "Don't be surprised. This world is actually very fragile and not very big. Many creation-level beings can create it with a wave of their hand."

"I believe you will be able to do it in the future."

"Thank you for your kind words." Wang Ji nodded to Number Nine.

It must be said that Investigator Number Nine is truly impeccable.

Too polite, so rigid in their manners, they're practically like a machine.

machine…?
and many more.

Wang Ji suddenly looked at Number Nine.

Number Nine returned a standard, polite smile and said, "My mission is complete, sir. You will now be received by a Creation-level expert."

"I hope to see you again."

He said goodbye.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped moving.

Snapped!
A crisp voice sounded.

Number Nine exploded with the sound, turning into fragments and disappearing into the void without leaving a trace.
