Chapter 222 Fireworks
"Where's your father?"

Lin Xian looked at Li Ningning and asked.

Lin Xian looked around just now, but didn't see Li Cheng.

"My father died when I was a kid."

Li Ningning turned her head and looked up at the sky, at the thousands of fake blue moons:
"He was the first person to suggest skydiving into the Sky City. Of course, he was also the first one to get in. Unfortunately, at that time, no one knew about the existence of the laser anti-aircraft zone, so... he skydived from a very low altitude and was directly hit by the laser and evaporated."

Lin Xian was silent and looked around again.

I didn’t see the charming beauty I wanted to see, that is, Li Ningning’s mother, Li Cheng’s mistress in the first dream:

"What about your mother?"

“My mom was the second.”

Li Ningning spoke softly, but her eyes were still the same as in the second dream, stubborn and unwilling to believe in fate.

Like a butterfly flying against the wind.

Thinking that this was the second world I met Li Ningning in, she had become an orphan with both her parents dead.

It's inevitable to feel some distress and sympathy.

"Why do we have to go to Rhine Sky City?"

Lin Xian asked his biggest question:

"Why do so many people risk their lives to fly up there? What is your purpose? Are you still trying to steal books? To learn about history? Or to gain knowledge?"

Li Ningning shook her head:

"It's not those things... Those things are certainly important, but when life and the future are at stake, who cares about them?"

"You should be Big Face Cat's friend, right? Did you come from far away? Otherwise, you shouldn't even know these things..."

Li Ningning took out a handkerchief from her pocket, picked up the little girl who had been pulling at her clothes, and wiped the festering sores on her neck.

Pus kept flowing out of the wound and there was no sign of healing at all.

Lin Xian frowned slightly...

What disease is this?

And it's not just this little girl.

He just saw that many people in the crowd had black spots on their skin, oozing pus.

"It's [radiation sickness]."

Li Ningning put the little girl on the ground, put away her handkerchief, and explained to Lin Xian:
"I don't know when it started... More and more people are suffering from radiation sickness. It's all caused by that Rhine Sky City."

She frowned and stared at the huge object floating in the sky:
"The radiation may come from the nuclear fusion engine under the Sky City, or it may come from the wastewater and garbage they dumped, but in short, it is because of its existence that more and more people are getting sick and dying."

"Although this disease is not contagious, once you get it, it is incurable. The body will have more and more unhealed sores and ulcers, and you will continue to get infected, and eventually you will die in pain."

"Some babies died in the womb due to radiation sickness before they were born. Even if they were born, they were deformed. This disease is really terrible. The most terrible thing is... we are destined to be unable to avoid it."

Li Ningning turned her head and looked at the helium balloon behind Lin Xian that was constantly inflating and gradually floating in the air:

"At first, everyone wanted to stay away, but in the end they found it was useless. The radioactive materials would spread all over the world with the wind, birds, animals and insects. There was no way to hide from them no matter where you were."

"So... we have to find a way to fly to that sky city. My father said that there must be a drug there that can make people immune to radiation sickness. As long as we can get a sample... even if there is only one pill or one box, we can study its ingredients and replicate a drug that can make people immune to radiation sickness."

"Only in this way can we survive and have a future."

……

Hear this.

Lin Xian basically understood what was happening in this world.

simply put.

In the third dream, the living environment of Li Cheng, Big Face Cat and his group was much worse than in the second dream.

It's not just them, it's the same all over the world.

The development of controlled nuclear fusion technology has not only failed to allow ordinary residents to use free electricity and master inexhaustible energy, but has further widened the gap between the rich and the poor... no, or rather, the gap in life.

Lin Xian estimated that the source of the radiation sickness was most likely related to the thousands of blue engines that were running day and night.

The people in Sky City must have found a way to be immune to this disease and live without worries.

People on the surface do not have this kind of special medicine, so they can only suffer from radiation sickness from generation to generation.

According to Li Ningning, the incidence rate of this disease is not very high, but the mortality rate is 100%, and it will also cause patients to suffer from wounds that will never heal and great physical and mental pain.

It can be said to be a terminal illness more terrifying than cancer in this era.

Because of this.

Only then did a group of heroes like Li Cheng and Big Face Cat emerge, risking their lives to fly into the Sky City to get the special medicine.

There is nothing we can do about this either.

Without medicine, everyone will die sooner or later.

One day, radiation sickness will fall on loved ones, friends, and family members.

This is the true meaning that every man is responsible for the fate of his country.

but……

The air defense range of Rhine Sky City is so abnormal that it can directly lock onto the altitude within 10,000 meters.

In order to fly in through the only gap in the city center, one must take a helium balloon to an altitude of 20,000 meters, and then make full use of gliding to aim at the gap, so as to avoid the air defense lasers and enter the sky city.

The location of this gap is not indicated by various boundary line signs like in the game. It must be precious information obtained with countless failures and countless lives.

This is why there are no middle-aged men in the surrounding villages...

[They all died in the sky above Rhine Sky City, evaporated by lasers and turned into smoke.]

"Too cruel."

Lin Xian sighed.

He couldn't understand why...

Every time the dream changes, the level of science and technology is obviously getting higher and higher, but everyone’s life is getting worse, more divided, and more distant.

Before, there was only a wall separating the New Donghai City and the Old Donghai.

Now there is a world of difference between the surface and the city in the sky.

If technology continues to develop...will these two groups of people only be able to stare at each other across the galaxy?
“This is not normal.”

Lin Xian still thinks so.

He didn't think that a normal world would develop into such a deformity.

and so.

it goes without saying……

The future world of the third dream, including the existence of Rhine Sky City, is likely to still be a conspiracy of the Genius Club to control human history and muddy the river of time!

They just can't stand seeing humans doing well.

It’s really confusing…

Are you aliens or traitors?
Do you feel so uncomfortable about making human life better?

and.

What made Lin Xian feel even more chilled was...

Rhine.

This is clearly a company that I named myself and something that I created myself.

Why have I become the same as these people now?
What went wrong?

Is it my future self who chooses to let Rheinland and the Genius Club go along with each other?
Or did you resist, fight, and ultimately fail?
If he had to choose between these two results, Lin Xian thought it must be the second one.

Be in cahoots with these people?

I would never do that even if I kill myself.

From the moment he decided to avenge Tang Xin and Xu Yun and made up his mind to kill Ji Xinshui, Ji Lin and Zhou Duanyun... he stood firmly on the opposite side of these evils.

Although Lin Xian does not think that he is absolutely just.

But at least.

He doesn't like such a world controlled by humans and a future without hope.

"So...it was me who failed?"

Lin Xian looked up.

Looking at the faint blue light, the city in the sky is like the blue pupils of a yellow bird.

Was it because of his failure that Rheinland became someone else's? Was it because of this disaster in the sky?
"Haha, that's really infuriating."

But it doesn't matter.

Even if I really lose in this process, it is not the me in 2023 who loses.

For me now in 2023, Rheinland Corporation has just been established and even the ribbon-cutting ceremony has not been held yet.

The future is uncertain.

To me, the history of these 600 years is just a piece of waste paper that can be torn off at any time.

I am history!
How you lose, how you win it back!
Lin Xian lowered his head and looked at Li Ningning:
"I'm ashamed to say that I didn't do what I promised you before, but it doesn't seem too late to make up for it now."

Li Ningning blinked and tilted her head:
"Before? I don't think we've met before?"

Lin Xian nodded.

Yes.

For Li Ningning, that was something she had naturally never seen before.

But in the second dream before, he did promise Li Ningning that he would help her blow up the New Donghai City.

But in the end, before the plan was implemented and before they even entered the inner wall of Donghai City, they were caught off guard and entered the third dream.

Whatever.

Lin Xian looked up at the huge monster that blocked out the sun and the sky, and the controlled nuclear fusion engine that looked like thousands of eyes:
"This sky city floating in the air is really an eyesore... Let me pull it down for you!"

"What are you talking about?" Li Ningning was really amused:
"We just want to get the special medicine from the Sky City. Why did you pull it down? But..."

Li Ningning raised her head and looked at Lin Xian:

"If only you could pull it down. We don't like the sky like this."

"Do not worry."

Lin Xian turned around, waved his hand, and walked towards the hot air balloon next to him that was already filled with helium:

"This time, I have to keep my word."

"..."

Li Ningning looked at Lin Xian's departing back and felt like she was being teased:

"weirdo."

Lin Xian walked behind A Zhuang, who had already put on his space suit and was about to put on his helmet, and patted him on the shoulder:

"A Zhuang."

"Ah?" A Zhuang turned his head.

"Also give me a set of space suit, parachute and other equipment."
