Post-Apocalyptic Survival Modpack

Chapter 128, Section 127: News

Although taking on the burden of a broken world may seem like just putting on an extra layer of clothing, it is still a burden nonetheless.

This kind of burden does not exist in a normal, healthy world.

There's no need to ask other creation-level beings or look at any records; both the 'New World' and the later-created login worlds are ready-made examples.

This broken world, however, is a real source of pressure.

Because it cannot sustain its own existence.

On the dragon's remains, after seeing Leo off, Wang Ji breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the world gradually recover.

As the world is restored and its laws are laid out, this pressure will gradually decrease.

When the world is fully repaired and can exist independently, it will no longer be a burden, but rather a source of strength.

This matter is now temporarily resolved.

News of the restoration of the world's laws spread, and the safety level assessment of the Dragon Bone World rose to 0.0, no longer a negative number.

But it's not a positive number either.

There is still a striking symbol about this world:
[Apocalyptic scenario, proceed with caution.]
Yes.

"The apocalypse has not disappeared."

Wang Ji also realized this.

The world appears to be functioning normally, but this is only because the rules of the apocalypse seem less powerful than its own many characteristics.

The old laws were like sand, and the end times are like a flood; with a little effort, the sand will scatter.

The new rules built upon various characteristics are like a lump of iron, impossible to break.

But just because it can't be swept away doesn't mean the flood and the monstrous waves have disappeared. The apocalypse still exists, and any ordinary external matter and force will be quickly destroyed and cannot continue to exist.

At least things have stabilized for now, and we can survive.

What we have now is enough for the time being.

With the follow-up work on the Dragon Bone World temporarily arranged, Wang Ji finally had some free time.

Inside the base, Wang Ji picked up a protective suit with great curiosity and examined it.

"How did this thing resist the collapse of the laws of the universe and the apocalypse?"

Wang Ji was somewhat puzzled.

Previously, I didn't have a deep understanding of the Law Collapse Apocalypse and thought it was a one-time collapse.

Now it seems that's not the case at all. The collapse of the laws is continuous. No matter if it's the original laws of this world or external objects, once they are covered by the doomsday that has taken over this world, they cannot avoid losing their effectiveness and becoming waste.

However, this protective suit, along with the protective device in the old base, was able to withstand the apocalypse.

It's hard not to be curious about how they operate and how they survived the apocalypse to function properly.

Wang Ji checked the annotations displayed on the protective suit in his hand.

[Type I Doomsday Protective Suit]
Note: This is a common protective suit, an older model, which provides protection for the 'losers' and can resist the spread of invasive apocalyptic forces such as law collapse, toxins, and information distortion.

Note (!): This product will inevitably break down and fail after a period of use. Please repair or replace it immediately after hearing the alarm.

"Loser?"

Wang Ji muttered to himself, looking at the name with slight surprise.

With world-class access control, it's no wonder these protective suits are effective against the apocalypse.

The Keeper of the Secrets once said that losers have one defining characteristic: they can indefinitely postpone their defeat.

This statement reveals the loser's capabilities, but it doesn't provide a detailed explanation.

In retrospect, the definition of 'failure' is quite flexible. Aren't the laws of doomsday invasion and matter itself a kind of failure?
"In essence, it did not isolate the apocalypse, but only slowed down its rate of attack."

It only delays things.

There are many similar protective suits, such as the environmental maintenance equipment of the old base, which also has the characteristics of the loser. Moreover, these things are not expensive, and you don't even need to use world currency to buy them. In many cases, they are simply given away for free.

Just like this world of dragon remains.

Wang Ji checked the records and found that all the doomsday protection supplies were delivered free of charge by the rescue organizations in the doomsday zone.

Considering the countless disasters around the world, the production cost of this equipment should not be high.

To be honest, this 'loser' does have some talent when it comes to feature development.

If this characteristic could be extended to a world ravaged by the apocalypse…

Wang Ji had such a thought, but immediately dismissed it.

No, that definitely won't work.

A loser is a loser because he is destined to lose.

If this characteristic were applied to a world ravaged by the apocalypse, even if it could temporarily delay the invasion, the loser's characteristic would essentially sentence the world to an irreversible death sentence, denying all hope and possible turning point.

This is merely a desperate measure to quench thirst, which ironically suits the end times.

"It's not easy for anyone."

Wang Ji sighed.

The characteristics of a loser must include many limitations that they are unaware of; otherwise, wouldn't it be better to simply impose the fate of certain defeat on the enemy?

After putting the protective suit back in the storage warehouse, Wang Ji gave Leo some more instructions on what to do, named the world "Dragon Bone World," and then boarded the spaceship to begin his return journey.

Along the way, I also took a trip to the administrative world to check messages and update the database.

Upon checking, I discovered that I had appeared on a global public channel news program.

[A newly ascended creation-level powerhouse saves the world, showcasing his abilities for the first time.]
Below the large title is a briefing on publicly available, non-secret intelligence about the Dragonbone World, along with some analysis.

Wang Ji examined it with great interest.

First, there's the restoration of the law, which reports say is 'unprecedented'.

The laws that had been destroyed by the apocalypse were miraculously restored, and the world was reshaped, yet the apocalypse did not disappear.

The world of Dragon Remains is currently in a rather novel, or perhaps even bizarre, state.

Doomsday and the laws of nature coexist; the spear, proven invincible, has encountered a shield it cannot overcome.

"The Genesis-level uses unknown methods to strengthen the laws to the level of absolute characteristics, which can resist the apocalypse while retaining its potential, but external rules entering will still be destroyed by the apocalypse."

This is a brief summary of the news.

Below this summary are interview comments from some 'professionals'.

—The Executive Officer of the Administrative World, a top-ranking official, and the third-highest Doomsday Investigator offered his insights on this matter:
"This move is like the creation of a world within a creation."

"If this method can be applied to all 80 million main worlds and countless derivative worlds, and all rules can be transformed into absolute rule-level depth, then most apocalypses will be nothing to fear."

"However, we know very little about the new Genesis-class.

"At present, Mr. Wang Ji has not disclosed his abilities, and no one knows whether there will be a price to pay for 'absolute' the rules."

"We need to observe further."

"For more information, perhaps we can interview the natives of the 'Dragon Bone World'."
