It was July, and the weather was so sultry and hot, and there was no sign of coolness even in the evening.

The breeze blew, the heat wave rolled in, and the roaring factories in the city aggravated the heat.

Zhang Xiaofang couldn't help but lifted his shirt, revealing his chubby belly.

As he walked, he carefully avoided the coal and rock piles in the streets and lanes. The coal and rock consumed by power plants every day is amazing, and people also need coal for cooking, so this stuff is everywhere.

As Yu Fuzi said, human civilization is an energy civilization. The higher the level of evolution, the higher the demand and demand for energy, and the higher the demand and demand for energy levels, the more developed the civilization. The two complement each other. ,mutual improvement.

And what is the summit of civilization? In fact, the answer is very simple. It is the "end point" of human imagination.

That may be the legendary god-level civilization, more likely it is beyond the unknown of the universe.

Every time what Master Yu said was too obscure and too profound, everything seemed to deviate from the concept of matter, and few students could understand it.

Zhang Xiaofang is also ignorant, but one thing he remembered is that there is no difference between knowledge, physical chemistry is not worse than physical skills, and even farming is no worse than physical skills.

These words are also what Lao Zhang often emphasized to him. Knowledge is no superior, physical chemistry can make people understand the properties of matter, agriculture and animal husbandry can make people understand the earth and get close to nature. These are ultimately the same as physical skills.

He didn't understand it at first, but he has only recently become enlightened.

Zhang Xiaofang is seventeen years old this year. His parents have died since he was a child, and he has been wandering around. Later, he met Lao Zhang and was taken to Hope City by him.

Lao Zhang is a caravan clerk who has a good skill in cooking fierce beast meat.

The meat of the fierce beast is tough, let alone the taste. It is very difficult for ordinary people to even bite, and Lao Zhang has the ability to soften the meat of the fierce beast without losing energy. Of course, he will not lack food and occasionally take it. I came back with some fierce beast meat, so I put Zhang Xiao's stock in vain and fat.

Zhang Xiaofang's figure is easy to be laughed at at school, but he is open-minded and doesn't care about it. The breeze is blowing on the hills and the moon is shining on the river, and I laughed to myself.

Of course, the inner strength also needs the support of the body, just because he has passed the examination of the General Association of Physical Education and became a sportsman. This is very few in the engineering-based schools, and no one knows. Dreaming that one day I would be able to break into the world with Lao Zhang and slay the beasts. Naturally, I would not have the same knowledge as those little kids.

His home is in the outskirts of Hope City, next to the outer city wall. It was originally a chaotic grave. Accompanied by the rapid expansion of the city, he was wrapped in and transformed into a large cemetery.

No matter how the city expands, the cemetery is indispensable. It represents the awe and worship of human beings towards death.

The cemetery has wild grasses and luxuriant grasses, and its location is very remote, and some existences are now not only taboos, but also physical existence. Legend has it that those things like to stay in the cemetery, so no one wants to live here, only Lao Zhang does not dislike it. A small courtyard was built next to it, which was called to exercise Zhang Xiaofang's courage.

Zhang Xiaofang had never seen a ghost before. He was really timid when he looked at Heigulongdong's cemetery.

But people are born with fear of the unknown, that's why they left today's question.

The advantage is that there is also a giant artillery camp near the cemetery, stationed with a large group of military physicists, he can climb to the big tree to steal physical skills.

Lao Zhang is going to follow the business, and often leaves Zhang Xiaofang alone. In the past two years, too many people have poured into the city. The area around the originally suspected cemetery has also become popular, which means that Zhang Xiaofang has neighbors, but he Not at all happy, just because one neighbor is really...somewhat infiltrating.

The city of Hope at night is prosperous and noisy, and a city with electric lighting is like a night city, where all the existence of darkness cannot be revealed.

There were various food stalls everywhere on the roadside. Zhang Xiaofang couldn't help swallowing, smelling the slightly pungent aroma of barbecue. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

Leaving the inner city, the road turned into a dirt road, without electricity and lighting, and because the trees blocked the moonlight, it was dim and dim all the way, groping into a deep alley.

"Boom, boom, boom." The knock on the door was very harsh in the empty box.

No one answered for a long time. Zhang Xiao waited at the door for a long time, and then listened closely to the door for a while. After hesitating for a while, he was about to push the door to enter, but an old hoarse inquiring sound came from behind him.

"Who are you looking for?"

An old lady walked out in the dark, she was carrying a mop, her wrinkled face turned into a chrysanthemum, and she asked him coldly.

For some reason, as soon as the old woman appeared, the originally sultry alley suddenly felt cool, and at the same time an inexplicable sense of depression spread. Zhang Xiaofang couldn't help shrinking his shoulders and replied: "Um...I am Lu Yun’s classmate, I heard that she was unwell, so I came over and have a look. Is she there?"

The old woman didn't answer, stared at him for a while, shook her head, turned around and hobbled into the darkness.

Zhang Xiaofang knocked on the door again, and there was no response for a long time. After carefully studying the hall for a while, he didn't feel anyone inside, so he had no choice but to leave.

After leaving the alley, the inexplicable sense of depression disappeared. Zhang Xiaofang let out a long sigh of relief. He has lived here for several years, as if he had never seen this old woman.

He rolled his trousers and started jogging all the way home. About an hour later, the surrounding area gradually became empty, and he was already far from the city. After walking off the main road, he walked a long section of dirt road. , A gust of evening breeze blew, waves swayed.

After walking for a while, the huge hillsides in front of them, under the cold moonlight, seem to be crawling on the ground with a beast that eats human beings~lightnovelpub.net~ This large hillside is the largest in Ping An City. In the cemetery, there are several lonely large houses on the hillside, one of which is still lit with dim lights, and it is the home of him and Lao Zhang.

...

The bright moon hung high, the night was as cool as water, and on the top of the hillside, Yu Fuzi's rickety figure appeared.

He looked at the bright moon in the sky as big as a disc, and suddenly he began to cough violently. The cough was heartbreaking, his liver and intestines were broken, and a piece of fast internal organs spurted out of his mouth.

The cough gradually ceased, and his old body was shaky, but his turbid eyes bloomed with dazzling stars, turning from apathy to concentration, and then to emptiness.

The world has also become hollow in his eyes. The world of microscopic particles, the subtle changes in molecules, and atoms clearly penetrates his mind.

An astonishing scene happened. The blood and visceral fragments on the ground began to flow back into the body and re-enter the body. The internal organs were reshaped, so tiny that every cell returned to its previous state, the heartbeat regained, and the vitality returned again. The whole process was like a time flow back .

The fact is not that time goes backwards, but that he manipulated matter with his mind, reshaped the structure of matter, and traced the deepest cell back to the previous molecular state.

This body is too old, death is unavoidable and can only be delayed.

"Tweet!" a small metal snake with thin fingers crawled to his shoulder and yelled softly.

To get a certain power, you must carry the will of its representative, and you can only give up these powers if you want to restore yourself.

He gave up the body of a demigod, gave up the small universe that was about to be formed, and tried to return to the realm of nothingness and emptiness. Maybe that is the essence of self!
