Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 352 Nuwa Project
The two people on the sand table fell into a long silence.

Lin Yu realized that Lin Xi had set a dead end for him.

As long as it's within the rules, there's absolutely no way for the village's power to surpass that of the monster.

There is only one correct direction.

They've completely retreated and are hiding.

Either don't let that monster find out.

Alternatively, hide in a place where it cannot attack.

The latter is clearly impossible.

The monster's attack range was the entire village; in the real world, that would be the entire world.

Can you really leave this world?

Lin Yu already knew that humans were capable of leaving the so-called "Earth" and flying to the vast and boundless starry sky.

But in a universe as desolate as a desert, where is there a place for humankind to live?

Even if we take a step back and say that this strategy is not feasible, it is still not feasible.

Because the monster's net caught more than just "Earth" as a fish.

It is casting a net across the entire galaxy; a single catch will destroy tens of thousands, even millions, of civilizations.
"Is there really no other way?"

Lin Yu asked in a slightly low voice.

"Nothing."

Lin Xi waved her hand gently, and the sand table disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, the two returned to space, looking down at Earth below.

This time, however, Lin Xi moved closer, allowing Lin Yu to see her more clearly.

"Now, our conversation can officially move into its final stage."

Lin Xi began to speak:
“I think you understand everything now, and you've realized just how huge and serious the problems we're facing are.”

"But I guess even so, you still think we have a glimmer of hope, right?"

"You still think that perhaps there's a universal key that can solve all problems somewhere we haven't discovered yet, it's just that we haven't found it yet, right?"

"Correct."

Lin Yu nodded emphatically.

Lin Xi smiled and zoomed in on the ground.

Then he began to speak:
"This is indeed a problem."

"We've considered the same thing."

"The best course of action is to survive, even if it means living incompletely."

"Should we take the gamble and bet on that one in a million chance?"

"We chose the former."

"Don't question our choice yet. Let's look at the results of the two options after countless simulations."

As they spoke, the images in front of them began to flicker.

Cities rose from the ground and became more and more prosperous over time.

As buildings grow taller, vegetation begins to give way to the cities where people live, and the lights at night gradually converge and transform into patches of halos.

Humanity has entered a period of rapid development, and it seems that the opportunity to break free from the fishing net is just around the corner.

But at that very moment, a dim light suddenly flashed across the sky.

Followed by.

The city began to decay and perish.

With the lights off, vegetation once again took over.

The cataclysm has struck again, and humanity is back to square one.
-
Of course, not everyone died in the cataclysm.

"We are a group of ants."

Lin Xi began to speak:
“Every time an elephant steps on an anthill, it completely destroys the home we have worked so hard to build.”

"But it cannot kill us completely."

"We will struggle to survive in the ravines at its feet, and struggle to start reproducing again."

"The anthill will be rebuilt once again."

Accompanied by Lin Xi's extremely bland narration, the human civilization below developed and was destroyed time and time again.

This seems to be an unsolvable vicious cycle.

But Lin Yu suddenly discovered that every time human civilization re-developed, its scale would shrink a little before it was destroyed again.

Until the very last time, humanity could no longer rely on the power of the "legacy" to fight against the powerful threats on the ground.

The last "person" died at the hands of the monster.

Lin Xi magnified this process. Lin Yu clearly saw the consequences of the death of the last person in human civilization.

His body was pierced, and blood gushed out.

The monster greedily sucked the blood and tore at his corpse.

The monsters didn't seem to understand the significance of their hunt; all they knew was that they could finally have a full meal again.

But they didn't know that what they were swallowing was the last fragment of a civilization.

Humanity went extinct.

Lin Yu's eyes flickered slightly.

"Show me another result."

He spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene began to change again.

A vast city sprawls underground, with cold silicon-based chips spreading out like twinkling stars.

Cooling water flows through trenches outside the computer room, carrying away the enormous heat generated by the chips during operation.

This city has become a real "anthill".

It operates silently and quietly.

Centuries have passed, and the city still retains its original appearance.

But it seems that something in the city has subtly changed.

More quantum chips are beginning to replace silicon-based chips from hundreds of years ago, and more channels are being built.

The second city slowly took shape, and an extremely thick cable connected the two cities together.

Then came exponential growth.

As cities grow larger, the numbers representing "computing power" also continue to rise.

Electronic life forms residing in virtual cities observe the world in their own way and reproduce continuously within the city through 'replication'.

Lin Yu frowned.

After thinking for a moment, he asked:
"So, this so-called result is that humanity has completely abandoned its physical body?"

"No, of course not."

Lin Xi shook her head, then continued:

"Haven't you already seen our bodies?"

"I have seen?"

Lin Yu suddenly realized what was happening.

Those people from the mountain city!
He looked at Lin Xi in disbelief, and the latter slowly nodded.

At this point, the city's development has finally come to an end, as depicted on screen.

The dim light never visited this world from beginning to end, as if the monster had completely forgotten about it.

The perspective zooms in further.

At a certain moment, a figure emerged from underground.

He was wearing the same kind of flexible armor that Lin Yu had seen before.

When he stepped into the sunlight, he took off his one-piece helmet.

A handsome face was revealed.

Lin Xi began to speak:
"At the right time, our bodies will return to the ground."

"But that will be a long time from now."

"So now, do you understand what we're doing?"

"Understood."

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is a long hibernation!"

"Yes."

Lin Xi nodded in satisfaction.

"Your choice of words is very apt; it really does resemble hibernation."

"However, we actually prefer to call this plan..."

"Project Nuwa".

"In the future, the first person to set foot on the ground will already have a name."

His name is Suiren!
