After the darkness dissipated, a hazy red light appeared in his field of vision, and the light source came from an irregular object.
The object slowly turned over on the ground. From afar, it was impossible to see what it was, but up close, it was actually a mosaic. The mosaic spun faster and faster, and it actually transformed into a human figure. Then, the human figure slowly appeared in the red halo. It was Wei Guanqing, who had been forcefully recalled.
At this moment, Wei Guanqing's consciousness had yet to awaken. He was still immersed in the endless darkness.
"Try it."
A man's voice sounded in his ear. Wei Guanqing looked in the direction of the voice and finally saw light.
He realized that there was a glass coffee table in front of him, and a young stranger was sitting opposite him. The man then pushed a glass of lemonade in front of him.
Wei Guanqing picked up the cup and took a sip. It was sour and astringent, and his entire face wrinkled.
"Looks like the effect is not bad, hahahahaha…"
The man laughed happily and had no intention of stopping. However, his laughter became more and more ear-piercing. The things in front of him gradually distorted along with the man's laughter, and the whole world spun.
"Stowaways!"
Luther's voice suddenly sounded.
"Do you think this is the real world? The 21st century that had been destroyed.”
"Which one of them is true? Was it the truth in front of him or the truth of the world?”
"In other words, they are not people in the traditional sense!”
Luther's voice pierced into Wei Guanqing's eardrums like a sharp needle. Then, he suddenly felt that there was nothing under his feet. His entire body fell rapidly, and he opened his eyes in shock.
Wei Guanqing gradually regained his consciousness as he saw the scene in front of him, but he still felt a splitting headache. He could not forget the moment when he was swallowed by the darkness. A huge force almost tore him apart. He had never experienced such unforgettable pain.
"What is this place?" Wei Guanqing was puzzled after seeing the surroundings.
Right now, he was in a dark cave. The cave was more like a huge pipe. The pipe was filled with flowing fine lines. These lines were of different colors and emitted a faint light. When they gathered together, they looked like a rainbow. Wei Guanqing couldn't help but walk forward. When he got closer, he realized that these lines were actually countless densely packed characters, dazzling him.
The current situation reminded Wei Guanqing of Luther's words. The cyborgs in the destroyed 21st century, as well as the illusions he saw in his mind, had caused him to have countless doubts.
However, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he still couldn't find any clues. He only remembered the scattered memories in his studio. He had once thought that he was just an ordinary person who was selling his paintings on the forum to make a living.
After thinking for a long time, he finally gave up and began to focus on his current situation.
He could not see anything else in the tunnel he was in, so he could only walk forward. Before long, something seemed to be wriggling in front of him.
He stopped and carefully walked forward. He finally saw what it looked like. It was a mosaic. Just as he was wondering, a light-colored cross icon that could be focused suddenly appeared in front of him. It aimed at the mosaic and automatically scanned it.
" The target is in a code crash state…"
The results of the scan were sent back to Wei Guanqing's mind. However, he immediately felt a sharp pain in his head, as if some memories had been recalled. Broken images flashed in his mind.
"You want to try? First, find its source code, then fix it.”
The man who had passed her the lemonade appeared in front of her again. He held up a crushed apple in front of Wei Guanqing.
Wei Guanqing stared at the apple and automatically scanned the apple's code group.
" Although its form code has lost its order due to the destruction of the apple's exterior, the source code will never change. As long as the source code is found, its order can be restored.”
Under the man's guidance, Wei Guanqing saw the almost transparent source code in the disordered form code group. According to the order of the source code, he reached out his hand and manipulated the disordered form code to quickly reorganize, and the broken apple also returned to its original appearance after the code was reorganized.
Suddenly, there was a round of applause. Wei Guanqing turned his head and saw a robust young man with stubble all over his face. He was enjoying his performance with a smile on his face.
"Ah Hong, you're like a tiger with wings now.”
The man threw the apple in his hand over. The man called Ah Hong was quick and caught it steadily. He opened his mouth and bit off half of it.
"Now that I've eaten the apple, can I recover?”Hong asked with a smile.
"We can cut off one of your hands first and see if we can recover it. How about it?”
"I object!"
As their voices became softer and softer, the image in Wei Guanqing's mind slowly disappeared. The pain in his head also disappeared.
Wei Guanqing was in a trance for a moment. A strange yet familiar feeling arose in his heart. He could not explain this feeling. It was as if he had suddenly met a reborn version of himself.
He realized that he seemed to be able to repair the mosaic in front of him, but he was not sure what it was. Was it dangerous? However, based on his current situation, there was no other way. He could only try his luck.
Wei Guanqing walked forward. The mosaicked code group started to flow in his eyes. It was messy and complicated.
"Where is it?" Wei Guanqing searched for the source code in the chaotic code group.
In the blink of an eye, the source code appeared, but before Wei Guanqing could react, the source code disappeared again.
It seemed that not all code groups were as simple as Apple's code group. The complexity of this thing was on a completely different level. Even the source code could be encrypted in this way.
After several calculations, Wei Guanqing had already grasped the timing of the source code's appearance. He could also clearly feel that this body had extraordinary potential. He had actually recorded the source code completely after glancing at it for a few times.
Wei Guanqing reached out his hand and used his mind to control the chaotic code that was wrapped around him to arrange itself at light speed. As the code group returned to its original order, Mosaic gradually transformed into a person. It was a handsome young man in a white uniform.
"Are you still alive?"
Wei Guanqing's voice rang in Lu Ye's ears. He opened his eyes tiredly and saw a thin young man staring at him with a frown.
"Where is this place?" Lu Ye's memory was still stuck at the moment when he was decomposed by the recycling process. He narrowed his eyes, thinking that he was dead. He looked around again and saw that there were giddy codes everywhere.
"This is exactly what I wanted to ask you. Do you know where this is?”
Lu Ye slowly stood up, but he lost his footing and almost fell. He seemed to have not fully recovered.
" I was participating in the training, and then the airship had an accident…" Lu Ye suddenly widened his eyes and said in horror,""This…this can't be the recycling bin, right?”
"The recycling bin? I also heard that person say something about recycling. Then, darkness surrounded me. When I woke up, I was already here.”
Lu Ye instantly reacted. Wasn't this man the target of the training, the stowaway Luther was talking about? It was all thanks to Wei Guanqing that he could appear here.
"My name is Wei Guanqing. What about you?"
Lu Ye glanced at him and gave him a fake name."Lu Ye."
"What do you know about the Waste Bin?”Wei Guanqing asked.
"I don't know much, but if this is the recycling bin, the only thing we can be sure of is that we're done for!”Lu Ye replied.
"What do you mean?" Wei Guanqing asked in confusion.
" The recycling bin can be seen as the trash can of every city and community, and the recycled code will eventually end up here. No one knows what the inside of the recycling bin looks like, because once you enter the recycling bin, you can forget about surviving. Our existence has already been erased by the stronghold's database, and there are still scavengers here. Even if we avoid the scavengers, once the recycling bin is emptied, there'll be nothing left.”
Wei Guanqing scratched his head. He did not expect there to be so much knowledge here.
"Where did you get all this information?”Wei Guanqing asked.
"I learned it from the school." Lu Ye lied, but it wasn't actually a lie. It was just that it wasn't the teacher who taught him, but Luther. In order for him to pass the security department's exam, Luther had given him a lot of extra lessons.
" I can tell that you're a good student," Wei Guanqing said.
" Normally, the code that is recycled here will be broken down by the recycling program, but how did we survive?”Lu Ye asked. He had indeed seen the scene of Wei Guanqing being torn apart.
" I don't know how I survived, but I can fix the code. I fixed you," Wei Guanqing said.
"You can fix the code!" Lu Ye looked at Wei Guanqing in disbelief. Repairing the code was not something that ordinary people could do. This already involved personal authority issues, so it could be said to be illegal. However, the stowaway incident convinced him that Wei Guanqing's background was not simple.
" I don't know why," Wei Guanqing nodded." But I did it."”
Lu Ye sighed and sat on the ground."No matter how capable you are, we are destined to die here.”
" Don't be like this. Let's go look for it. Maybe there's an exit. Didn't you say that no one has been here before? Maybe there really is," Wei Guanqing persuaded.
Lu Ye shook his head, closed his eyes and lay on the ground. Wei Guanqing saw that persuading him was useless, so he could only walk forward.
Lu Ye lay on the ground, recalling the warm times of the family dinner. He began to miss the harsh behavior of his parents in his eyes. He seemed to understand at this moment. At the thought of this, two streams of tears flowed from his eyes.
The sound of footsteps slowly approached from afar. Lu Ye hurriedly wiped his tears and said,"Didn't you say you were going to find the exit? Why are you back?"
There was no reply, and the sound of footsteps seemed to have increased. Lu Ye was shocked and hurriedly turned his head to look. Not far away, there were seven or eight carnivorous insects that looked like mantises crawling on the walls of the pipeline. These scavengers were about the size of basketballs and covered in black armor. They were waving their sharp pincers and crawling toward him. Their numbers were still increasing. Soon, the pipe was filled with dense insects.
Wei Guanqing only heard a scream from behind him. He turned around and saw Lu Ye running crazily, shouting for him to run.
" What…" Before Wei Guanqing could finish his sentence, he saw the large black swarm of insects behind Lu Ye. These must be the scavengers that Lu Ye had mentioned just now, so he also ran away.
The two of them sprinted and fled crazily until they finally arrived at the end of the pipe.
A bottomless abyss appeared in front of them. The entire abyss was cylindrical, more like a huge vertical black pipe, and this huge pipe was covered with countless small holes. The pipe they were in was one of these thousands of small holes.
Just as they were hesitating, the bug horde had already arrived behind them.
"Jump!"
Following Wei Guanqing's roar, the two of them jumped into the dark abyss.
