My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 67 A Tribute to the Dead

Because Chu Zhu knew very well that Li Xuan was secretly flirting with various large factory owners.

Yes, Li Xuan had immense respect for Chu Zhu—a respect that surpassed even Zhou Ze's respect for him, and in real-world terms, it was even comparable to being a simp!
If Chu Zhu issues an order and Zhou Ze notices a problem with it, he will argue with Chu Zhu. However, if it is Li Xuan, he will execute the order without hesitation, regardless of whether he thinks there is a problem with it.

However, Chu Zhu still wouldn't treat Li Xuan any differently because of this. In fact, he was extremely wary of him!

Li Xuan doesn't have Zhou Ze's firm bottom line; his bottom line is quite flexible. He's an egoist who prioritizes personal gain! The reason Chu Zhu appointed him as deputy general manager was simply to use him as a medium to mediate relations with the major factory owners and maintain a balance.

"My head hurts! My head hurts." Chu Zhu pulled at her hair. "Forget it, if all else fails, I'll just send a bunch of students! Hmm... It'll be a bit chaotic, and their abilities will definitely cause a lot of trouble in the early stages... But I'll be there to back them up! A few minor problems are acceptable."

Five years ago, after Chu Zhu successfully established a trade union in the shantytown redevelopment area, he also took the opportunity to set up an educational system suitable for the area. Although the educational system in the shantytown was far inferior to that of citizens in the city, it was still a groundbreaking achievement to create something from nothing!

Five years have passed; these students should have completed their initial education by now! Even if they're not quite there yet, it'll be enough. After all, the average quality of people in the dream world can't compare to that of the real world.

The textbooks for this batch of students were copied bit by bit from the real world by Chu Zhu... Although he found it tedious at the time, and besides, that age group in the real world wasn't exactly the kind of age that liked studying, so the copying wasn't very complete...

But at least they copied some of the Dragon-Slaying Technique! Even if they didn't learn it all, it's better to have learned it than not to learn it at all... Now it's just a matter of practicing slowly!

"It's settled then!" Chu Zhu stretched her body, and a smile returned to her face.

"Then what's next!"

Chu Zhu's expression turned serious: "Nuwa No. 17!"

"I'm here." The silver walls of the base shone brightly once more.

"First, let me introduce myself," Chu Zhu began, pondering as he spoke. In the real world, he hadn't chosen to side with any country again, so he should still be a sports superstar, right? Therefore, his access level should still be Level 1…

"Name: Chu Zhu, Gender... Authority Level: Level 2 Citizen."

Chu Zhu paused for a moment. "Another change?"

"why?"

"Nuwa No. 17!" Chu Zhu asked after a moment's consideration, "Show all of Chu Zhu's life experiences."

then……

"Hmm, no problems in the early stages... and he still became a sports superstar? Wait a minute..."

Chu Zhu was stunned when she saw the numerous titles listed.

"Brief Introduction: A shining light of the Chinese people, a shining light of the world, a master of classical music, a singer, the only superstar of the post-internet era, a master of painting, a master of classical piano, a master of film, and an initiator of artificial intelligence. He is hailed as one of the most intelligent minds of the 21st century!"

Chu Zhu: "???"

"These classical music songs, paintings, and movies... what is this... Oh, I see!" Chu Zhu suddenly realized. He had listened to a lot of classical music and instrumental music, and watched a lot of movies in the base. Moreover, after synchronizing his dream life with reality, he had also mastered many of the skills he learned in his dreams!
Chu Zhu is proficient in all the arts, except for chess, which doesn't exist in a dream world... In fact, she is a peerless genius!

I reckon it's because of their superb skills that they were able to recreate all those songs and things they'd heard before in the real world.
After all, Chu Zhu in the real world has obviously pushed her physical abilities to the limit! Moreover, she has already declined Yuan Qiang's offer and no longer needs to undergo long-term training.

In his spare time, without the superpower to travel to the future in his dreams, he naturally chooses to use all the knowledge he has gained in his dreams.

And with this exchange...

"This is really something!" Chu Zhu was both amused and exasperated; it was an unexpected surprise. But soon, he saw the time of death, and his expression turned serious.

"Time of death: 00:24 on June 7, 2054."

"Cause of death: Extremely high intensity radiation exposure! Physical mutation! Died from injection."

"Note: In the fourth year of the ●● War, Chu Zhu resolutely chose to undergo a radiation sickness cure experiment, exposing herself to high-intensity radiation!"

No one knows why he made that decision, nor why the leaders agreed. No one knows why he was so convinced that he possessed the cure for radiation sickness!

At that time, radiation sickness affected 90% of the human population! There had never been a cure.

However, in the end, unexpectedly, the conclusion was that his body was indeed extremely special! It could withstand more than fifty times the nuclear radiation of an ordinary person without causing a large number of cells to mutate and die.

However, even though he didn't die, he quickly went mad, his body mutated and became monstrous, and his various physical indicators increased dramatically, exceeding the originally calculated limits for humans (Note: these limits were established by Chu Zhu himself)!

"According to his last wishes, he was injected with a syringe to die, and the remaining body was studied. It was shocking to find that his physical fitness was two to three times higher than that of a normal human!"

"He is a hero; we salute those who went to their deaths!"

Chu Zhu: "..."

Chu Zhu felt conflicted; she wanted to laugh, but couldn't manage it.

"Was this death a case of courting death?" Chu Zhu shook his head, but as the same person, he wasn't entirely unable to understand the decision of his other self.

A radiation sickness rate of 90% almost certainly means that humanity is on the verge of extinction!

Given that we dare not artificially cultivate moon grass, engage in gene editing, or completely pollute the human gene pool... we can only try to see if we can find the final antidote from our own mutated body!

"However, he was probably fighting to the death at the time!" Chu Zhu was also certain that his other self was not purely selfless, but was actually forced to the limit and wanted to try to see if he could continue to grow stronger by directly encountering high-intensity radiation.

He even suspected that his other self might have already collected all the medicinal herbs except for Moon Grass and then tested them—Moon Grass, because Chu Zhu absolutely dared not touch the pitfall of gene editing!
But clearly, Chu Zhu ultimately failed.
