My Endless Life.

Chapter 455: Eat it for me!
Beyond the world's barriers.

Li Qi's soul turned into a ball of light and was ejected from the colorful sea of ​​​​the world.

But as a ball of light, he has an extremely long line under him, connecting to a certain "world bubble".

From a distance, it looks like a kite released by the world.

As his consciousness spread, Li Qi looked back and saw the world bubble he had come out of. He also saw the line connecting his body to the world bubble, and his heart finally settled down.

When he came out, Li Qi was a little worried whether the Devil's Contract could fulfill its promise.

But now it seems that the description of Devil's Contract's abilities did not deceive him.

Poor Li Qiao. In order to prevent the devil's contract from failing to realize its stated ability, which would cause Li Qi to be ejected from the world and unable to return, Li Qi let Li Qiao return to his soul to sleep in advance.

The poor sister didn’t have time to play in the new world for long before she went back to sleep.

Li Qi mourned for her for a moment, and decided to compensate her in the next world. Then he looked at the crystal clear world barrier in front of him, wondering where he should start.

In the past, it was his ability to instinctively swallow up a corner of the world. He only needed to rely on his own instincts and didn't have to worry too much.

But now that he took the initiative to speak, he didn't know what to do.

But Li Qi also has a solution.

Since you don't know what to do, just leave everything to your instinct.

Li Qi's consciousness converged and he no longer suppressed his instincts. The soul light ball formed by himself gradually approached the light ball formed by the world below.

But...nothing happened.

Li Qi's 'superpower' that allowed him to reincarnate infinitely failed to activate, and he did not take a bite out of the world barrier as he expected.

"…You're still picky about food? Eat now!"

Li Qi urged his consciousness to go deep into his soul and touch the core of his soul.

But his ability was as if he was in a tantrum and remained motionless.

Li Qi: "..."

Could it be that... in each world, only the first time you come here can you break through the world barrier?

Or is it that his ability sensed that there was something wrong with the world, so it didn't activate?

If this is true, then when I first came to this world, was it because of my own willpower that I failed to eat up the world barrier, or was it that I simply didn't want to use my ability?
No, when I first came to this world, I still had that feeling of wanting to take a bite...

Circling around the world barrier, Li Qi recalled the feeling when he first came to this world, while looking for a good place to start.

Finally, when he got to a certain place, Li Qi felt the urge to eat something.

Just like a hungry person seeing delicious food or a thirsty person seeing spring water, Li Qi felt the urge to eat from deep in his soul.

The feeling of hunger was like a man-eating beast, almost devouring Li Qi. His thoughts stopped for a moment, and time seemed to stand still for a moment. When Li Qi came to his senses, he felt that he had eaten something.

That seemed to be part of the world.

then……

His consciousness fell into darkness.

……

The time of the world seemed to speed up in an instant.

After the apocalypse, the major dungeons were attacked by unknown forces in the past few months.

In order to prevent the city from being attacked further, the remaining forces of various countries united together to form the last human front. They used the power of rare objects to exchange what they had and built the last city of mankind.

This last city of mankind is close to the center of the earth and relies on the temperature of the center for warmth. However, because all humans have moved underground, the ground has become a forbidden area for humans.

The first five years of humankind were spent under such circumstances.

During this period, more human cities were built underground. There was no pollution, no viruses, and no attacks from unknown organizations. Humans actually survived in such a harsh environment.

This proves that humans are indeed a very resilient species, and that technological civilization is not as fragile as imagined.

Even during this period, humans found ways to mitigate the costs and actually sign contracts with strange objects.

Everything seems to be moving in the right direction.

But such 'good' is only on the surface.

Because the top leaders of humanity know that the doomsday is still going on and their crisis is far from over.

But not many people care about this now. Until the danger really comes, not many people will care about it.

After all, most people today are trying their best just to survive, so how could they have the time to pay attention to other things?

Unless...crisis really comes to them again.

"Minister Zhao! Contact contamination has been detected above the underground city, and it is approaching the underground city at an extremely fast speed!"

In the office of the head of the operations department of the Pollution and Abnormal Incident Countermeasures Bureau (formerly Bureau 057), a male secretary in a suit was reporting to Zhao Hong in the office.

Zhao Hong remained calm and issued an order:
"Let the third action team deal with it. Also, contact the logistics department to prepare for the transfer. If the contamination cannot be stopped, the underground city will be moved immediately!"

"What's the transfer destination?" "Do I even need to ask? It's one of the alternative locations selected earlier. Oh, don't forget to contact other dungeons to avoid bumping into each other when you transfer to the same location."

After Zhao Hong finished speaking, he waved to his secretary and asked him to go down and deal with the matter.

I turned my head and looked at the brightly lit dungeon outside the window, with some memories flashing in my eyes.

Humans can unleash unimaginable power when faced with adversity.

In just over five years, humans have mastered the method of using magical objects to transfer entire cities.

In this way, humans can move the entire underground city to a safe location before pollution arrives.

To this end, humans are also digging holes everywhere underground, just like rabbits digging holes everywhere.

Many caves are empty. There is no life in these places, and of course no pollution. Such places are just right to become alternative living spaces for humans.

Currently, there are three large underground cities in the world with a population of over 10 million, and they have survived to this day in this way.

As for living issues such as underground oxygen and crop growth, they are also handled by relevant strange objects.

Five years is enough time for mankind to transition from technological civilization to material civilization.

Nowadays, the most common things in human society are strange objects. All kinds of things are transforming into strange objects, even a certain generator has become a strange object.

Most members of the Countermeasures Bureau now have combat-related items in their hands, including Zhao Hong.

He touched the ring on his left middle finger and looked up at the sky above the dungeon, as if he could see the contact pollution heading straight towards the dungeon.

After staring for a long time, Zhao Hong's secretary ran back and reported to him in surprise:

"Minister, the pollution has been dealt with and the crisis alert has been lifted!"

"Well, I understand, go down."

Feeling relieved, Zhao Hong spoke to his secretary calmly.

After the secretary left, he let out a long breath and leaned back in his chair.

Because the Countermeasures Bureau had limited staff, a qualified person like Zhao Hong naturally became one of the senior executives of the Countermeasures Bureau.

Now he is the director of the Operations Department of the Countermeasures Bureau, in charge of all actions of the Countermeasures Bureau regarding pollution and unrest in the city. He is a powerful minister.

But despite saying this, Zhao Hong couldn't be happy.

During his years as minister, he lived in fear every day, and every time he dealt with pollution, he worried whether he would bring the pollution to the city.

A lot of pollution has been dealt with in recent years, but there is also a lot of pollution that has not been dealt with. Most of the pollution cannot even be touched, and cities can only transfer it in advance.

Even so, many people died in Underground City No. 1 where he is now.

Now that pollution invasions are occurring more and more frequently, Zhao Hong doesn’t know how long he can hold on.

"Huh... Never mind, let's go back to town."

After finally getting through the workday, Zhao Hong decided to go back to Dream Town to check on Meng An.

Five years ago, after receiving the knight and Xiao Chong, Meng An's body fell into a dormant state for some unknown reason.

Of course, saying it is dormant is just an easier way of understanding.

The real situation should be that the main consciousness disappears.

Meng An's body is still maintaining the instructions after the main consciousness left, such as eating, drinking, going to the toilet, sleeping, and independent exercise.

Like a robot.

This situation has continued for five years, and there has been no change every time Zhao Hong returns.

He even brought a Golden Immortal from the Golden Immortal Diagram to check on Meng An's condition, but even a Golden Immortal had no good way to treat this kind of 'soul leaving the body' symptom.

Jin Xian couldn't find a solution, so Zhao Hong was even more helpless. All he could do over the years was to go to the town from time to time to check on Meng An's situation and hope that he would wake up, that was all.

Today was the same. Taking advantage of his free time after get off work, Zhao Hong returned to Dream Town as usual to see Meng An and also visited other residents in the town.

Because when the residents of these towns left, the city was either sealed or turned into ruins, so most people here could not leave the town. The only channel to access information from the outside world was Zhao Hong, so every time Zhao Hong came back, he would tell them about the development of the outside world.

At the same time, it also gives them confidence that the world will return to its original state.

Originally, Zhao Hong's schedule today should have been no different from usual.

But today is a little different, because...

"Oh? Uncle Zhao, you're here."

Meng An, who had grown into a teenager, took the initiative to greet Zhao Hong.

When seeing the smile on Meng An's face, Zhao Hong's eyes became moist for some reason, and after a blink, tears of joy flowed out.

After five years of companionship, Zhao Hong has already treated Meng An as his own child.

Now that he sees the child who had become a 'vegetative state' finally wake up, Zhao Hong is of course excited.

This made him feel that his five years of persistence were not in vain.
