I am immortal with scientific thinking

A...dream?

Outside the window is the dark blue dawn. The lush vegetation appears flourishing in the biting cold wind. The faint crowing of roosters in the distance wakes the entire city from its sleep.

Lin Chen sat up from the bed and raised his hand, only to see a metallic luster. This was the nano exoskeleton armor he wore before going to bed.

Looking back, there was no sign of any triggering on the locked doors and windows, or the alarms and miniature bombs attached to them.

So everything that happened before... was just a dream?

In his dream, he seemed to have returned to the helpless and fragile state of his mortal youth. The technological weapons and powerful knowledge reserves that he was proud of disappeared, and he didn't even have the most basic clothes.

The whole person was walking naked in a city that seemed to have been burned by a fire... no, to be more precise, it was a city reduced to ashes.

The tall buildings melted like wax figures in the twisting and rolling heat waves, turned into charred ruins, ashes flew all over the sky, and the sea of ​​fire covered the entire sky...

Even at the moment of waking up from the dream, he could still see countless people fleeing in panic under the pursuit of madmen and shadows, the blazing fire devouring everything, and the boundless sea of ​​fire rising everywhere, filling the entire city as far as the eye could see...

The strangest thing was that at the moment he completely left that world of ashes, he vaguely saw a horrifying and strange scene.

In the ruined streets and melted city, he vaguely saw the charred and twisted monster in the ashes.

Its limbs were torn into pieces, and there were traces of fire everywhere. It squirmed, split, and fled in the streets where the embers had not yet extinguished, making sharp chirping sounds that seemed to pierce the reason of mortals. In the process, its entire body turned into ashes and became part of the ashes in the sky...

All of this is so real, it doesn't seem like a dream at all.

But Lin Chen knew clearly that in this chaotic universe, reality and illusion, the real world and dreams were often not as clear-cut as imagined.

"The power of dreams... has also permeated this new world?"

Lin Chen looked out the window, his expression becoming somewhat solemn.

The theme of this world is the mirror image formed by the interweaving of yin and yang, light and darkness.

It is not like the world of immortal cultivation and most of the worlds in the Chaos Sea, where a complete heaven and earth are formed within the world bubble. Instead, it is like a beautiful dream that is constantly disappearing.

If the Soul-Returning Tree at the top of the world and the real time and space where it is located are the only pure air and positive origin in this world.

Then the darkness at the deepest bottom is enough to sink all living beings in the world into resentment and curse. It is the turbid air of this world, the source of evil, and the opposite of all living beings in the world.

And the countless phantom worlds of light and shadow formed in the darkness are the intersection of light and darkness.

The positive origin manifests itself in the form of real time and space and the souls of billions of living beings therein. Lin Chen is currently unclear about the form in which the negative origin exists, but he only knows that it will devour all living beings.

Then, as the center line where yin and yang meet, how will those countless phantom worlds of light and shadow appear in this world?

Is it the etheric world speculated by scientists in this world about supernatural phenomena, or is it a dream?

And one thing that Lin Chen was very concerned about was whether the dream he had last night was the result of his so-called high level of inspiration, or was there an unknown existence behind it?

beep--

Just as Lin Chen was thinking, a sudden phone call interrupted his thoughts.

The satellite phone rang.

Lin Chen's expression changed and he answered the phone directly.

Soon, a very hoarse voice came from the other side, old and tired, as if he had been busy for a long time and was exhausted.

"Ah Chen, it's me."

"Teacher?" Lin Chen grabbed the phone and asked, "What's the situation?"

Before entering the city, Lin Chen arranged for Fang Zhengyang to report all the situations in the area to the top leaders of Tianhai City.

Verify the situation, determine the truth, discuss countermeasures, formulate plans, make decisions and implement them...one night is enough to come up with a result.

"The situation is worse than expected." Fang Changqing said in a heavy tone.

The disaster of evolution had already made them busy and exhausted, who could have imagined that such a big event would happen in a city with a population of millions under the jurisdiction of Tianhai City.

"We have tried various means to contact the military garrison, law enforcement departments, and the Supernatural Research Institute branch that protect the entire city, but problems have arisen in each place to varying degrees."

"We also retrieved the population movement records of Yuncang City in the past few years and found that the number of people leaving the city was decreasing at a visible rate. Anyone who had been in the city for more than a month disappeared without a trace. This situation was very hidden, and coupled with the frequent disasters in various places, we didn't notice it at all. Now that we have reacted, it's too late..."

Speaking of this, Fang Changqing's tone was filled with indescribable annoyance, helplessness and regret.

If a large number of people started to die as soon as this incident broke out, Tianhai City would definitely be able to detect and deal with it in the first time.

But the problem is that the way this incident broke out was too strange and extremely covert. Coupled with the frequent disasters in various places and the continuous mutation of the S-level disaster evolution, they had no extra thoughts to notice it, and eventually caused such a catastrophe.

"Then mentor, what is your decision now?" Lin Chen said calmly. He did not want to care about the past, but only wanted to know the solution discussed by the top management.

The disaster has already happened. Investigating right and wrong is a matter for the future. The most important thing right now is how to solve it.

"The local guard forces have all lost contact, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people have died. This incident is at least a Class A supernatural disaster, and it requires all of us in Donghua to put in all our efforts to stabilize it. But the problem now is that the disaster of evolution has begun to trigger the intensification of idealistic invasions, and supernatural disasters in various places are increasing exponentially. We simply cannot spare any extra troops now..." Having said this, Fang Changqing sighed, fell silent, and stopped talking.

However, Lin Chen understood the underlying meaning:
"So what Tianhai City means is...give up?"

"Yuncang City is already in a state of semi-collapse or even complete collapse, and Tianhai City involves the overall defense of our country's southeastern region, so..." At this point, the meaning of the Donghua top management has become very clear.

"In that case, what should we do about the disaster here?" Lin Chen frowned and continued to ask, "Although this place is not close to Tianhai City, it is not far away either. If the potential hidden dangers here completely erupt, it can completely threaten Tianhai City itself!"

"Our plan is to... use strategic weapons." Fang Changqing was silent for a moment, then gave the joint decision of the top leaders, "It is impossible for us to add more lives to this disaster in order to resolve it. The only way is to destroy or contain it on a physical level."

"So we need you to find out the survivors in Yuncang City, rescue as many people as possible, and find out the situation here."

"After you get them out of Yuncang City, we will completely activate Donghua's [Earth-to-Earth Survey] system and use [Near-Earth Orbit Space-Based Weapons] to attack them!"

"Space-based weapons?" Lin Chen recalled the knowledge in his mind. "As far as I know, this weapon does not seem to be as convenient and powerful as a nuclear bomb. It is more suitable for precision strikes on high-value targets, but not suitable for the entire city."

"Indeed, but the problem is that nuclear bombs will produce a lot of radiation. It would be fine if it was put in normal times, but now is the outbreak period of the evolutionary disaster. We cannot predict what unexpected changes will occur after these evolving species intersect with nuclear radiation." Fang Changqing's tone was full of deep concern. "Of course, if things are impossible, whether it is hydrogen bombs or tactical nuclear bombs, we are also ready to drop them at any time!"

Lin Chen's expression changed, and he continued to ask: "Time? When is the launch time?"

"Seven days!" Fang Changqing said in a deep voice, "We will give you seven days. During this period, Tianhai City will mobilize the military forces of nearby cities to block the periphery and help you break out." "And after seven days, no matter what the result is, the [Near Earth Orbit Space-Based Weapon] will be fully activated!"

seven days?

Lin Chen was silent for a moment after hearing this.

He didn't ask like those saintly bitches why they only gave seven days, whether the millions of people in the city were just abandoned, whether they still had any humanity and other stupid questions.

Since the top leaders of Tianhai City have chosen to do this, it is definitely the best choice that can be made after comprehensive consideration of all aspects.

After all, it is impossible to just abandon a city with millions of people, but such a decision was still made, which undoubtedly illustrates two points.

Either the think tank believed that the city had completely fallen and was not worth spending effort to save it, or the situation outside was getting worse and worse, so much so that they had no ability to intervene in the affairs of the place.

A large number of think tanks, first-class human elites, countless experts and scholars, and academicians from major countries standing at the top of civilization have all made such a decision, the value of which is simply beyond the comprehension of the values ​​of a virgin bitch.

Just seven days...

"I understand." Lin Chen finally said, "What resources can we get? What is the mission goal? Is there any follow-up support?"

"We don't have any follow-up resources. Our mission goal is to find out more information about the disaster and rescue as many survivors as possible while protecting our own survival." Fang Changqing said in a heavy tone, "It's impossible to send more troops in. After all, we can't make any more unnecessary sacrifices now, so everything depends on you."

"But when necessary, the Tianhai Military District can provide a full-fledged aviation squadron for a cruise!"

A cruise of an organized air fleet?
Lin Chen's eyes moved and he said:
"Okay, then leave it to me."

"I'll take care of everything." Fang Changqing finally instructed, "Remember, no matter what, you must prioritize your own safety. Yuncang City has fallen, no matter what, you can't get stuck in it again!"

"Okay, I'll pay attention." Lin Chen hung up the phone.

Seven days... I don't know if I'll be in time.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Chen made up his mind.

No matter what, we have to touch upon the taboos of this city.

The person of the Creator has given him a vague feeling that he will gain the key to transcending this world in the future in this city.

"There is no time to lose, take action now..."

Just as Lin Chen was about to get out of bed, his body suddenly stopped.

"This is……"

Lin Chen's pupils narrowed slightly.

Because at this moment, he saw a line of grayish white writing appear on the floor under the bed:
"leave here!!!"

He suddenly raised his head and looked around. The doors and windows were closed, with no signs of being opened, and there was not even a way for the morning breeze to enter.

If that’s the case, where did this line of handwriting come from?
And the person who wrote this line of words used...

"Ashes?"

Lin Chen reached out his hand and touched it, rubbing it lightly with his fingertips, leaving a grayish-white mark.

These are ashes, what's left after a body is burned.

And he had seen it before... So, it wasn't a dream?

But what does this sentence mean? A threat or a friendly reminder?

"Chip, can it analyze anything?" Lin Chen asked in his heart, "Chip? Huh?!"

The mechanical voice in my mind paused for a while before it started again.

drop--!
A light blue screen projection appeared before his eyes.

Name: Lin Chen
strength:???

agile:???

constitution:???

Spirituality/Spirit: ???

Features: Nirvana (You will have a chance to be reborn from the dead once a month and get rid of all negative states)

"Um?!"

Goldfinger...changed?!
Not only has an unknown [spirituality/spirit] panel appeared, but the characteristic nirvana has also been completely repaired. Even if one is reduced to ashes and his soul is scattered, as long as there is a trace of it left, one can be reborn from the nirvana like a phoenix!
What happened in last night’s dream?
"Chip, what on earth happened?!"

"Ding! Due to an unknown influence, the host's soul has undergone an unknown mutation, and the chip has been affected and evolved. The specific cause is being analyzed..."

It seems that he has gotten into unknown trouble, but this also proves... that he came to the right place.

The disaster that could affect his golden finger from his previous life represented that the disaster that had broken out in this city either deeply involved the soul realm, or the level was so high that it involved the essence of the world. Either way, it was a good thing for him.

However, this also means that the danger is definitely not low.

In the room that was gradually brightening up in the dim light of morning light, Lin Chen looked at the words written with ashes on the ground. He was silent for an unknown amount of time, then reached out and wiped them off.

Then, he opened the door silently and left the house quickly.

When he walked out of the house, Su Mu had been holding the phone and waiting for a long time.

"Lost contact..."

"Huh?" Lin Chen paused and gave a puzzled look.

"You heard it right, we lost contact." Su Mu's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. "Only one night has passed, and the three members of the special forces team who followed us into the city have... completely lost contact!" (End of this chapter)
