141: Pandora's Box(1/2)
…
When the stream of light appeared in the sky, the stagnant atmosphere in the survivor camp was suddenly shaken, and then came alive.
Unintentionally.
Whether it was those who hated Yan Yu deeply or those who gritted their teeth against him, they all subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and most of their solemn expressions relaxed.
After all, whether they admit it or not, Yan Yu is their only hope.
Dick breathed a sigh of relief and murmured: "God bless..."
"Do you know who God is?"
Yan Yu heard this as soon as he landed and couldn't help rolling his eyes.
Dick's brain circuit couldn't keep up for a while. He was stunned for half a second before shaking his head and answering in distress: "I learned it from my father. Isn't he a god?"
"..."
Yan Yu twitched the corner of his mouth and brought the topic back: "The matter has been resolved. There are only a few remnants of the indigenous soldiers left. They should not pose a threat to you. From now on, we can just build the ship with peace of mind."
"Very good."
Dick's face was filled with joy, and his excitement was palpable.
But he quickly came to his senses and asked with some worry: "Remnant soldiers? Yan, do you think they will find the central control room of the energy tower by accident?"
Yan Yu muttered: "The entrance has been blocked. If you are worried, you can send someone over again to kill them all or drive them away...it's up to you."
He decided to carry forward the spirit of freedom and democracy and leave the fate of the indigenous people to the survivors to decide.
If the natives are dissatisfied, they can resist.
Yan Yu is very democratic.
"I'll make arrangements right away."
Dick squinted his eyes and decided the fate of the natives in less than two seconds.
in this pristine place.
To him, killing is no different from eating and drinking. It is a necessary skill for survival.
kindness?
Go eat X.
He was about to leave when he suddenly slapped his head and seemed to remember something.
Seeing him take out a cube, something like a Rubik's Cube was handed to him: "This seems to be a relic of civilization. I found it from a native. It may be helpful to you."
"...hiss~"
Yan Yu cast his gaze casually, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his face was filled with shock.
Why is this thing here?
But having said that, some country should have already obtained it and will soon be seeking death.
[Props]: Pandora’s Box
[Function]: The secrets of ancient civilizations are stored in the magic box. It may be like what is circulated in mythology. The box contains... the so-called hope?
[Overview]: Open it, and it may change the world.
【Prefix】: None.
That's right.
This thing, which is similar to a Rubik's Cube, is the legendary Pandora's Box. It does store hope, but it is the hope of creatures from ancient civilizations and has nothing to do with humans.
At the end of the ancient civilization, when they realized that the planet's environment was getting worse and worse and less suitable for their survival, they had already begun to study ways to save it.
But soon they discovered an unsolvable problem.
Because they have damaged the planet's environment too seriously? Have they reached an extreme state? If they want to recover, they can only wait for the planet to adjust itself and heal the damage over a long period of time.
As it happens? They are most short of time.
In this case? They were forced to leave the planet and go to space to find a new home.
They also knew how low the success rate of this goal was? So before leaving, they created a 'catalyst' whose function was to significantly change the environment and accelerate the evolution of the planet's environment.
The purpose is simple? Can't find a new home? You can still come back and struggle.
However, for some reason, after Pandora's Box was created, it was not activated on time as they expected. Instead, it was covered up by the years with the collapse of the ancient civilization.
How has time evolved to the present? New intelligent creatures appear and occupy the planet.
And ancient civilizations have turned into myths, legends, and illusory stories...
Seeing him fall silent, Dick couldn't help asking: "You know it?"
"Pandora's box."
Yan Yu twisted it at will. This thing was indeed similar to a Rubik's Cube. It had a cube shape, but it was not a nine-square grid, but a more complex setting.
Dick was stunned for a moment, then lost his voice and said: "Pandora's Box? How is that possible?"
"How is it impossible?"
Yan Yu said calmly: "Don't make a fuss. There are a total of one hundred and twenty-eight of these things. They are linked to each other by programs. Once one is opened, a signal will be released, and the rest will also be opened."
"Then what?"
Dick's eyes widened and he couldn't help but think of the fairy tales his parents had told him.
"Then?"
Yan Yu smiled slightly and said softly: "Then the world changed. For some people, it can skyrocket, but for most people, it is a disaster."
Anyone who plays games knows that every time the game is revised, there will be a landmark event, which can be understood as the main line of the new version...
Pandora's Box is the symbol of the official opening of Xingtu version 1.1.
It...will truly usher in the extraordinary era.
Dick didn't understand what he meant, so he hesitated and said, "According to legend, it seems to contain hope?"
"Yes, it is hope."
Yan Yu nodded and said matter-of-factly: "But it is not the hope of mankind. Just like medicine, some people will get better after taking medicine, and some people will cause other complications."
"..."
Dick was speechless. He always felt that it was a big deal for him to hand it over to Yan Yu.
But he didn't have a specific idea in his mind about what it was, and it was too far away for him.
Yan Yu soon lost interest in Pandora's Box, threw it aside, and said calmly: "Instead of thinking about this here, you might as well build a ship quickly."
"That's right, I have to hurry over and help." Dick came to his senses and quickly got up and ran towards the seaside.
"Be careful."
Yan Yu shouted, watching his back gradually disappear, his eyes that were brighter than ordinary people gradually darkened: "If I can go back within a month, maybe I can see the fireworks with my own eyes."
He remembered it too clearly.
After Pandora's Box was opened, countries around the world fell into such chaos that they did not even bother to fight wars, but retreated in a hurry to deal with internal problems.
I remember Los Santos seemed to be among them.
And what happened is quite famous.
In a biological laboratory that specializes in genetics, Pandora's box was opened, and the newly cultivated active biological samples suddenly went out of control, causing a series of troubles in Los Santos.
The mutated biological samples caused no less than 7 billion dollars in damage to the Bayerman Country, and the indirect losses were even more incalculable.
Regardless of how miserable Beilman was, in fact, all countries were similar. Some countries that managed to survive the war and barely had a chance to breathe were directly wiped out by the aftermath.
"Take advantage of this time to work hard to improve your skill proficiency."
Yan Yu twitched his eyebrows. He won't have so much free time after he goes back. He can't even see the excitement, so how can he have the time to brush up on skills?

Click.
Ho ho...
In the ruins of civilization, Manli's Jack suddenly opened his eyes.
After being stunned for a moment, his body creaked like a marionette, and he crawled out of Manli's body with difficulty.
Movements that were usually very simple were extremely difficult now. He felt that his hands and feet were a bit out of control.
Just like when you first come into contact with a game, operating the characters in it is difficult, unfamiliar, and unfamiliar...
After exhausting all his strength, Jack moved his body and leaned against the wall, staring blankly at Manli's dead body.
For a long time, his dull eyes moved, and suddenly he seemed to think of something. He quickly turned over Manli's body, groping inside her body regardless of the sticky blood and rotten flesh.
To be continued...
