Chapter 149 End of text

The time it takes for Luo Ran's heart to beat once is 0.75 seconds.

When that bright light with the same frequency flashed for the 439,713th time, a rusty old mecha broke through the dark and vast sky and touched the farthest edge of the light.

The next moment, the flow of time suddenly stirred up the most ferocious turbulence.

Some kind of drastic change, far beyond human cognition, suddenly occurred at the end of the entire galaxy.

Countless people woke up suddenly, and a strong feeling of weightlessness spread rapidly.People opened the doors and windows in panic, some fell into a dream, some fell back to reality from the dream, some saw the embryo that was slowly forming in ancient times, and some glimpsed the unexplainable future at a certain moment.

The turbulent flow of time enveloped the entire world. Amidst the violent vibrations, cracks quietly appeared in the invisible and qualitative dimensional prison.

Shi Ji's wingman flew out from the crack.

——It’s like the first escape method learned by humans.

Cut out a gap, insert the sharpest blade into the crack, and use all your strength to pry open a way out.

The rusty old-fashioned mecha was positioned at that point, and the silver-gray mecha followed closely behind its wingman, like blades and blades that could never be peeled off and dismantled, forcibly opening a gap in the invisible barrier.

The world being pulled overflowed from the breach in the dimensional prison.

Zhan Chen held on to the control panel.

This mecha is the fulcrum of the entire interstellar world. The sudden increase in pressure cannot be adjusted by the mecha's own device, and it seeps into the mecha cabin layer by layer.

Hearing the voice from the transmitter, Zhan Chen reached out, took off the spare headset, and placed it near his temporal bone.

"The Dolphin has received news from an unknown source that the dimension is being restored. We must leave here before the world completely ascends to another dimension!"

Pu Ying's voice was mixed with the noisy sound of broken electricity. He tried his best to raise his volume to ensure that what he said could be transmitted completely: "Mr. Zhan, the sender wants to speak to you directly. We cannot confirm the identity of the other party..."

"He's my colleague." Zhan Chen connected to the public channel, "I'm here, I'm Zhan Chen."

After a few seconds, the indicator light on the control panel flickered on, and a piece of encrypted special data popped up on the side auxiliary screen.

In the institutions affiliated with Chuan Bookstore, the terminals and monitoring systems restrained each other. The monitoring system was once blocked by the data hidden in the library. It was not until the game world took over Chuan Bookstore that it resumed operation.

Data flowed on the screen, and a synthesized mechanical voice also jumped out of the headset: "When you were a human, your name was Zhan Chen? It's a good name, but it's a bit complicated..."

Zhan Chen interrupted him: "Senior, time is flowing here."

The mechanical voice paused for a moment, and then came back to his senses. He became serious and spoke faster: "We are assisting your actions and trying to release this world, but we alone are not enough."

The game world and system were left in Chuan Bookstore, and they cooperated with the released data from the supervision department to try their best to maintain the stability of the world dimension in the massive data flow, but it was still not enough to promote the normal operation of the program.

"The terminal is gone and we need someone to turn the pages."

The mechanical voice said: "Do you have a program that can turn over books? It must be safe and stable enough that it will not be destroyed by deconstruction, and the core data will not be washed away -"

Zhan Chen: "Yes."

The mechanical voice only asked with a glimmer of hope, and was surprised when he heard this: "Why do you do this kind of program?"

Zhan Chen did not explain, but shook his head slightly: "I will send the data packet over now."

He raised his hand, instinctively wanting to manipulate the data, only to realize that his body had completely completed the transformation.

The surveillance department data that invaded the mecha watched Zhan Chen enter the sea of consciousness, open the warehouse, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, when we took inventory before, we picked up a bunch of data that was not in the record. Did you put it in too?"Is it a system?"

Zhan Chen took out the disk and was slightly startled: "I didn't receive any similar notification."

"It snuck in. It said it was looking for a friend, so we didn't catch it and put it in."

The seniors from the Supervision Department who came here talked a lot. While receiving the program data provided by Zhan Chen, they took the time to chat amidst the existential crisis of Chuan Bookstore: "I later discovered that it never came out after it went in. None of us wanted to hand out leaflets, so we didn't."Report..."

At this juncture, the other party will not mention this matter for no reason.

Zhan Chen exited the sea of consciousness, held the console with one hand, and raised his gaze from the progress bar of data transmission.

"You also know that except for the staff of Chuan Bookstore, the rest of the data cannot enter the mall warehouse casually - if you have to enter, you must first accept a temporary data blockade."

The mechanical voice said: "Its memory data has been stripped away, and it is still with us."

The mechanical voice paused for a moment, then continued as if chatting casually: "You guys stay in that small system in Chuan Bookstore. Its code looks familiar to me..."

A sharp color flashed across Zhan Chen's eyes.

The supervisory department is responsible for self-inspection and should not cooperate with any illegal operations that do not comply with regulations.

I didn't say much more about the data I came to find Zhan Chen. I just clicked on it and returned to Chuan Bookstore with the program I got.

…

Zhan Chen gathered his thoughts, deleted the intrusion records of external data, and looked at the regularly flickering light spots again.

——This is a pattern Pu Ying once discovered.

After falling into Electronic Storm, Pu Ying learned a little of the language of Electronic Storm and chatted with Electronic Storm, who had just developed self-awareness.

Pu Ying discovered that as long as the core particles were digitized and sent into the eye of the storm, they would be able to avoid being completely formatted.

In that orphanage, Pu Ying left a note and taught the two people this trick.

Zhan Chen separated the core data and hid it in Teacher Xiaoguangtuan's home in the eye of the storm - Feng Qing failed to find this way, so his core data must still be somewhere else.

For example, the database of a bookstore or the warehouse area of a shopping mall.

At that time, Zhan Chen had been the person in charge of the mall for a long time, but it was his first time trying to build a system.

He had no experience, and a lot of template data could not be found where to put it. Only the core program was easy to find and he found it as soon as he looked for it.

It was as smooth as if a piece of data had sneaked in, and I came to see my friend with great interest, mortgaged my memory, but still vaguely remembered the name of my good friend.

…

That was the first time Zhan Chen built a system for a host.

The host's name is Yu Tang. He received the standard physical data assigned to employees and just came from the eye of the storm to report.

The host was so eccentric that Zhan Chen stripped 20 points of his acting skills from himself and made cards into them as raffle gifts and quietly sent them to the host, which only allowed the host to barely raise his evaluation score to C level.

The host was transferred from the Almighty Butler Department to the Spare Tire Department, and passed the internship period with stumbling steps. He needed a system to work together.

When delivering the newly completed system, Zhan Chen saw the new employee standing in the waiting hall.

It also uses initialized body data and an unadjusted standard appearance. If you don't distinguish it carefully, you would almost think it is a randomly generated NPC.

Sensing Zhan Chen approaching, the other party raised his head, and his dark pupils were flat and cold, with a well-hidden unfamiliar resistance and vigilance, falling on Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen adjusted his body data and shook hands with him. The other person's fingers were pale and cold, unique to data.

Zhan Chen gave him a system that could chew bubble gum with the host.

Yu Tang didn't stay long, took the system from his hand, thanked him and turned around and left the hall.

The senior from the supervision department stuck out his head and put his hand on Zhan Chen's shoulder: "Is this the new host you are waiting for?"

"What's this? It's too devoid of atmosphere, even if it's just data."

The datamen in the Supervision Department have always had a good relationship. The colleague winked at Zhan Chen and came up with an idea enthusiastically: "We will help you stop him. Why don't you come up with some excuse? Say a few more words to him..."

Zhan Chen looked away from that figure.

"No need." He smiled and shook his head, "It's already good."

The colleague didn't see what was good about it, and couldn't resist him. He shook his head and left with a strange thought, to enjoy the internal benefits that only employees of Chuan Bookstore had.

Zhan Chen stood there, looked at his palm, and tried to squeeze it lightly.

It was he who forgot to teach Electron Storm, remember not to look for him once they were separated.

It was his failure to remember the past in time that caused Electron Storm to fail in the first assessment and was deceived into stripping away the particles.

Electronic Storm was trapped in this world by him.

...This is already the best reunion among the 768 deductions that Zhan Chen conducted alone.

The unprecedented earthquake suddenly brought back everyone's consciousness.

"The dimension modification is confirmed, we must leave as soon as possible!"

The sound of the current suddenly buzzed sharply, as if it could penetrate the noisy high-frequency noise in the mind. Shi Ji's voice tried his best to come out: "Mr. Zhan, we must find a way to get close to Mr. Yu. It won't take long -"

He suddenly noticed Zhan Chen's plan and said anxiously: "Mr. Zhan!"

——Before they had time to notice, Zhan Chen had already entered the other side of the dimensional rift!

"It's more appropriate for me to go!"

Shi Ji's voice became hoarse: "I have received high-intensity training and can withstand greater pressure while wearing protective clothing—"

"Don't worry." Zhan Chen had already assembled the protective clothing. He fastened his goggles and tapped the throat microphone. "I keep the record of survival training."

Shi Ji was slightly startled.

The devilish training of the special operations team was inherited from the Ministry of Security, and they have several extremely long-standing records that have not been surpassed until now.

Those records only contained data and no names. Many top soldiers were unconvinced and believed that the data could not exist and were made up to stimulate people.

Especially the survival training, the conditions are so harsh and cruel that it makes people shiver just thinking about it.

Starting from deprivation of sleep and rest, high pressure, weightlessness, electric shock, and torture, they were thrown into the gas chamber until the last sound of painful struggle could no longer be heard.

All trainees who can achieve high scores in this project have a strong will to survive.

Live, live no matter the cost.

Shi Ji still remembered what Zhan Chen once said to him - he suddenly couldn't imagine the circumstances that would make the record holder choose to die.

…

The huge mecha slowly opened its protective cover.

Zhan Chen fell into the light of the sun. This was the end of the dimension. The re-upgrading of the world stirred up countless turbulent undercurrents, almost squeezing all the heat from his chest out of his body.

The chest was hollowed out and he took his last breath, his eardrums were aching, and a faint blood red appeared in his vision.

Zhan Chen saw the figure in the light red field of vision.

He stretched out his hand and held Yu Tang in his arms.

A strong force suddenly burst out from behind Yu Tang, pulling the body deeper into the light.

They are in the vortex of time and space, and the core that caused the collision and distortion of time will not be easily released. The huge rules of the entire universe are suppressed, crushing the arrogant provocateurs who overestimate their capabilities.

Zhan Chen wrapped Yu Tang into his chest and shoulders. He lowered his head and pressed the tight protective clothing against Yu Tang's forehead. The force was as gentle as a kiss after a long separation.

Yu Tang woke up from the touch.

The particles of his body had merged with this sea of light, and the next moment he saw Zhan Chen, an extraordinarily bright smile still appeared in his eyes.

"Senior Zhan." Yu Tang snuggled into his arm and rubbed gently, "Senior Zhan."

Zhan Chen held his hand.

The hand still maintained its original shape, but when it was held up, it suddenly dissipated and turned into flying points of light.

Zhan Chen let go of his hand, and the light spots returned to their original shape.

"It doesn't matter to me, I'm just a little sleepy."

Yu Tang moved and put his face in the thick protective clothing: "Senior Zhan, if I fall asleep, please remember to wake me up."

"Little ball of light." Zhan Chen shook his arm gently, "Go home and sleep."

Yu Tang blinked twice. He wanted to see clearly, but his field of vision was already filled with light.

Zhan Chen lowered his head and met the dark mist in those eyes.

This is the true form of particle-level civilization.

There is no interaction of energy and no annihilation of matter. All electrons have long been neutralized and become the beginning and end of chaos.

After returning all the particles belonging to this world, the electronic storm returned to its original appearance.

Yu Tang leaned on Zhan Chen's chest, and the strange dark star mist was slowly spreading from the bottom of his eyes, and the light on his body was quietly fading, turning into a dense and stable particle cloud.

He is trapped in a dimensional vortex.

"Wake up, let's go home and sleep."

Zhan Chen called him softly: "The one billion points in the game haven't been earned yet, and you haven't found Feng Qing yet—"

"Feng Qing is my system." Yu Tang said, "I found it in the game world... He doesn't remember it himself. Senior Zhan, please find a way to return him to his domain."

Zhan Chen paused for a moment, did not speak, and just touched Yu Tang's hair gently.

"I know it's a little hard."

Yu Tang noticed the touch and rubbed Zhan Chen's palm: "You must have a way."

Zhan Chen was dumbfounded: "You have so much confidence in me?"

"Yes." Yu Tang said, "I will definitely do what Senior Zhan promised."

Zhan Chen asked warmly: "What about taking you home?"

Yu Tang didn't answer immediately. He opened his mouth and fumbled to hold Zhan Chen's finger.

"I was very verbal with them at that time. Senior Zhan, please don't take it seriously."

Yu Tang curled his fingers and slowly drew circles in Zhan Chen's palm: "The core particles of the electron storm are essential for maintaining the structure of the galaxy... I can't go out to play all the time."

Yu Tang said: "This is the meaning of our existence."

As he explained, his pupils that had been occupied by the dark mist opened slightly, and he turned his head slightly while listening to Zhan Chen's reaction.

The people holding him remained silent.

"I will go home occasionally to drink milk, eat cookies, play games, sleep on pillows and blankets, and read books that the little robot opened for me."

Yu Tang said: "Look out the window, if there is light——"

His words suddenly paused.

Yu Tang held Zhan Chen's hand.

He noticed that Zhan Chen had taken off his protective clothing and couldn't help but frown. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

…I don’t know when, the environment around them has quietly changed.

Yu Tang touched the hard metal material.

He was so familiar with these metals that he knew what they were just by touching them: "Senior Zhan, have you redone our mecha?"

"It's not a mecha now." Zhan Chen said, "It's our house."

"..." Yu Tang was angry and funny: "How can anyone live in a place like this?"

It was only when he arrived here that he discovered that this area was the key to supporting the dimension from collapse. Before the human world could be completely restored, it must be supported by electronic storms.

For a galaxy, this period of time is not too long, but compared to human lifespan, it is really too long.

"I will go home after a while."

Yu Tang discussed with Zhan Chen: "It may not glow anymore, and it may not be as warm as before, but there is no problem with eating..."

Before the rest of the words could be said, they were all blocked.

Zhan Chen didn't waste any more time explaining. He burned the words with a hot kiss and swallowed them word by word, turning them into boiling blood burning at the bottom of his chest.

The blood is burning in the body, and the cold metal of the mecha is burning in the silence and constancy of the vast universe.

Zhan Chen has always been gentle, but this time it was as if he wanted to cut out the heat in his chest and share it with him. The water-like spiritual power overflowed from the realm, inch by inch, forcibly overcoming the darkness in Yu Tang's eyes.

Yu Tang's heart tightened: "Zhan——"

"Little ball of light." Zhan Chen pulled away slightly and pressed against Yu Tang's forehead, "You'd better think about your answer again."

Yu Tang's body was enveloped by Zhan Chen's domain, and his mental power surged over without any scruples, forcibly reversing time and pushing back the state of matter in the domain millisecond by millisecond.

"I want to be with you, and if you can't go home, then I'll make my home where you are."

Zhan Chen's voice came to him from his chest, slightly hoarse than usual, and every word seemed to be filled with burning warmth that he had never had before.

Zhan Chen put his hand on the back of Yu Tang's neck: "This is something that does not need to be discussed."

Yu Tang was slightly shaken by the heat. Before he could speak, he heard the voice beside him: "Senior, you are shining again."

Yu Tang: "..."

"It's a normal energy overflow!" Yu Tang picked up a handful of bubble gum and threw it at the sound without thinking, "What's going on? Breaking into a private house——"

The system, holding the shell of the mecha figure, rushed towards him, holding his arm and not letting go: "Host, host, host..."

Yu Tang paused for a moment.

"I found the answer." The system nudged him, "Feng Qing doesn't want to live again because he is too happy working in the system."

You can build a system without being sold around, you can follow the host everywhere, and you can squat with the host and chew bubble gum.

"But I want to live back now."

The system pulled Yu Tang: "Host, host, have you seen this game world? I like him."

"This time I have chosen. I won't accept it." Feng Qing said, "I want to live with him for the rest of my life."

Yu Tang's particle state has not been completely reversed, and his vision is still blurry.

Not wanting to disappoint the system, he turned his head and glanced, and suddenly saw a bright and dazzling human-shaped light bulb: "..."

"Senior, we have fallen in love with this home." The human-shaped lightbulb walked over hotly and squatted down with the system, "Can we snatch it away?"

Yu Tang's vision gradually returned to clarity. He stretched out his arms and propped up his body.

...This is the unstable point of the dimension, and a ball of electron storm needs to stay here as support.

The world is more than just a storm of electrons.

Yu Tang's hand was gently held by Zhan Chen.

This time the particles did not dissipate. Sensing the warmth covering his palm, Yu Tang slowly moved his fingers and held them back bit by bit.

"...If you get bored, just ask me to change your shift."

After a long while, Yu Tang finally twitched his lips and breathed softly: "I'll make a program for you."

...Although this world has broken out of control, it still needs a gradual transition. In a not-too-short period of time, Chuan Bookstore will still continue to operate.

The job of the terminal is to "turn the pages", and after they leave, another set of programs must be used to replace them.

This program must be stable enough that it will not be affected even if it is hit by data. It must have enough self-correction and adjustment capabilities to ensure that it can run for a long time——

"Yes." Game World said, "It's Mr. Zhan's program."

Yu Tang was startled for a moment and turned his head to look at Zhan Chen.

His strength had been exhausted, and his movements were not too big. The soft stubble of his hair rubbed against Zhan Chen's palm, giving him a bit of real warmth.

"What expression? I know a little bit of it."

Zhan Chen smiled: "I'm only good at this one procedure."

He is only good at making little robots that turn pages of books.

Before Yu Tang woke up, Zhan Chen spent almost all of his time working in the mall polishing the program of this little robot.

He wants to make a small robot that can turn pages of books. It can do so for a long time, until the human lifespan is exhausted, the data is modified and reset, and everything returns to the beginning at the end of time.

Turn to the day I woke up from an electronic storm.

Yu Tang still felt a little regretful: "Is there no little robot at home anymore?"

"No more." Zhan Chen met his gaze, "I can only turn it over, okay, Teacher Xiao Guangtuan?"

Yu Tang coughed, trying his best to remain calm in the face of the new man-made electronic storm, and nodded slowly.

He wanted to stand up calmly, but Zhan Chen had already skillfully carried him around his legs. He was picked up steadily and pulled back into a warm embrace.

Yu Tang was kissed on the forehead and couldn't help but squint his eyes in comfort: "Senior Zhan..."

——He wanted to ask many questions, including whether Zhan Chen recognized Sui Zhengfan and his wife, whether Meng Nanke had regained his destiny, how Zhong San and Wen You were dealt with in the end, and how to deal with the data of Sui Si and Ke Ming.…

But it seems that there is no need to rush to ask for the time being.

Yu Tang pressed his arm between Zhan Chen's arms again, and used the arm behind him to wrap his arms around him. Zhan Chen lowered his head and met Yu Tang's gaze: "What's wrong?"

"I'm sleepy." Yu Tang closed his eyes, "I want to sleep."

Zhan Chen couldn't help but chuckle.

He hugged her and nodded: "Go to sleep."

The electronic storm had been guiding the direction at the end and had already exhausted all its energy. Almost as soon as he heard his voice, he lowered his eyelashes and fell asleep.

Shi Ji's wingman opened the hatch of the space station modified by the access mecha and flashed the guidance light twice.

Zhan Chen wrapped Yu Tang in his arms. He nodded with the game world and the system that stared at Yu Tang worriedly, and boarded the wingman.

He wanted to put Yu Tang into the sleeping cabin with restorative function. When he made a slight move, he found that the material of his shirt was tightly grasped by the sleeping person.

Shi Ji heard the noise and looked back worriedly.

Zhan Chen made a comfortable mouth gesture, hugged Yu Tang and leaned into the corner, letting Yu Tang lie on him more comfortably.

He held Yu Tang's hand and looked through the wingman's window into the dark sky.

The Dolphin was close to the wingman, waiting to return together. The end of the silver-gray streamlined mecha reflected a dazzling golden color.

The light of the star leaps across the nebula, and the messenger of light is on the road again, traveling farther and farther.

Yu Tang was buried in the light coming in through the porthole, leaning on Zhan Chen's shoulder and falling asleep, his chest rising and falling steadily.

Zhan Chen lowered his head and kissed Yu Tang's closed eyes gently.

The long river of time flows quietly, and the stars burn and die.

There are hundreds of billions of stars in the Milky Way, and there are at least trillions of galaxies in the universe. Compared with this infinite vast space, human beings are just a drop in the ocean.

But now, it's time to go home.

The author has something to say: The text ends here, and I bow to everyone.
