Chapter 368: Dreaming Again
Huidun quickly set up his tent, and then came to Chen Cheng to help him set up camp, while chatting:
"I noticed you looked up from time to time during the journey. It's all my fault. I forgot to tell you in advance."
“In fact, the conditions outside these ancient ruins are similar. For example, the sun above the head can be found in many ruins.
I was so busy before that I forgot to tell you about the situation here."
However, Chen Cheng shook his head and said:
"I found the book in the library and read it, but I was really scared when I saw this wonder for the first time."
Huidun heard Chen Cheng's nonchalant tone, but seeing his frown, he didn't look like everything was fine.
Perhaps Huidun's gaze was too deliberate, Chen Cheng felt his gaze, then he looked up at the forest that was about to darken and said:
"Do you think that in this ancient ruin that is no different from the outside world, with these ancient trees growing tall and lush, there are really no other living things in this forest except us?"
Although Chen Cheng didn't understand what the people of the ancient civilization who built these ruins were thinking.
But he knew that with the current biological evolution, the reproduction of these trees could not be separated from the help of animals.
If there really are no other living things here except them, then it would be even more weird, and it would also be more dangerous around them.
Although Huidun didn't know what Chen Cheng meant by this, they really didn't encounter any living creatures or other dangers along the way.
However, to be cautious, he still found the team leader, Mo Duonik, and told him what Chen Cheng said.
As a soldier, although Moduonik has been the governor for a long time, he still has a military instinct for danger.
Although they did not encounter any danger along the way, his intuition always reminded him, intentionally or unintentionally, that this place was very strange and dangerous.
Mo Duonik nodded, and then told Huidun and the others to be careful at night.
Then, seeing that the last ray of sunlight was about to disappear, Mo Duonik took out a large piece of dragon crystal from the space bag.
He then set the dragon crystal on fire.
After the energy in the dragon crystal was ignited, it instantly turned into a huge bonfire, which illuminated the entire area.
Perhaps they were a little tired after walking through the woods, so many people wanted to go inside to rest after setting up their tents.
Seeing this, Moduonik woke them all up and asked everyone to gather around the campfire.
"We will camp here tonight, but we are already in the ruins. No one knows if there will be any dangers attacking our camp at night, so from now on, ten people will have to patrol every night.
The ten people were divided into five groups, each with two people. The night time here is almost the same as in the outside world, so each group will keep watch for two hours. "
Then Mo Duonik ignored everyone's complaints and started to divide them into groups by calling out names.
Although these young masters and young ladies had never done the job of patrolling and guarding at night, they all knew that Mo Duonik was doing this for everyone's good, so in the end they just complained.
Of course, the biggest reason for this is what Modonik said before, that strength is everything here, and now the strongest person here is undoubtedly Modonik.
Perhaps because of his care, Chen Cheng was assigned to the same group as Huidun.
And the two of them happen to be the third group of people on guard tonight.
After the night watch teams were assigned, everyone dispersed in twos and threes. Some went directly back to their tents, while others started to cook their own dinner by the campfire.
Of course, their dinner had already been prepared and placed in the space bag, and they just took it out and heated it up.
Chen Cheng and Hui Dun did not prepare any food as they still had to stay up all night, and the third group would be there in the middle of the night.
There's no rush to get food then.
Soon after everyone finished their meal, they entered their first dream since entering the ruins.
The first patrol group was sitting by the campfire looking drowsy, while Modonik was in his tent drawing a map of the ruins he had seen on the cliff based on his memory.
In his dream, Chen Cheng's consciousness began to become hazy again, and he returned to the familiar laboratory.
In front of him at this moment was a group of cheering students. He knew all of these students. They were all graduate students and doctoral students led by Lao Ke.
Chen Cheng wanted to see clearly what they were cheering for, but the next moment the scene changed again and he came to the familiar political commissar's office.
The political commissar at this time was no longer young. His hair had turned gray, and his shoulder straps had changed from lieutenant colonel to major general.
Chen Cheng didn't know how many years had passed.
Then he saw himself handing over a report to the political commissar in front of him.
Just when Chen Cheng wanted to see clearly who he was, the scene changed again, and he appeared in front of a machine that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
"Energy Converter!"
Although the appearance of the machine had changed greatly, Chen Cheng still recognized it at a glance.
This was his masterpiece from his previous life. In his eyes, this converter was more important than controlled nuclear fusion.
Then Chen Cheng saw that someone was installing this new type of energy converter, and the senior engineer who was over fifty years old and was in charge of the installation was also someone he was familiar with.
"Make a wish, make a wish, you little brat, don't think I won't recognize you just because you've gotten older."
When Chen Cheng saw his disciple, he wanted to go up and hug him.
However, when Xuyuan's eyes turned to him, the scene changed again.
At this moment, he was floating in a futuristic sci-fi style ward, and on the bed in the ward was an old man who was hanging on to his life by a life support system.
His hair and teeth were almost all gone, his face was covered with wrinkles, and his eyes were cloudy.
But Chen Cheng recognized him at a glance.
"Make a wish, make a wish."
Chen Cheng kept calling his name.
However, in the next moment, Xu Yuan, with cloudy eyes, seemed to have heard his call. He stretched out a trembling hand towards Chen Cheng, and said "Master" in an unclear voice.
However, when he stretched his hand halfway into the air, another old hand grasped his outstretched hand.
"Make a wish, are you really ready to give up?"
At this moment, Xu Yuan seemed to have a last burst of energy. His eyes were no longer cloudy. He looked at the visitor and said:
"My master just came, I heard him calling me..."
Xuyuan repeated this sentence over and over again until his life came to the end.
Chen Cheng, who had been watching his disciple pass away, saw him off for the last time. Then Chen Cheng wanted to look up at the figure holding the wishing hand, perhaps he could be one of his other disciples.
But soon the scene in front of him changed again, and this time he appeared in an underground laboratory.
In front of him, a group of young and energetic young people were fiddling with a giant machine in front of them.
On this machine, Chen Cheng saw many things that were familiar to him. Some of these things existed only in theory when he was alive, while others were top secret.
The only thing these things can be combined for is the artificial sun experiment.
Just when these people were almost done with the adjustments, the door of the laboratory was opened, and the political commissar, who looked extremely old, walked in with a cane.
"How are you doing, little ones? Your uncle-in-law will be here soon. The country has invested a lot this time and has great confidence in you. You must do a good job."
The political commissar looked at these people with a smile and said.
"Don't worry, Political Commissar. Our Master and our Grandmaster have high hopes for us here."
"Okay, all the checks have been completed. You can exit now and wait for the order to ignite."
