After Waking up Beside the Villain

    "What's that!"

    "Here!"

    "Plague worm! Be careful!"

    The dark blue sea where the ice floes floated suddenly turned a shocking dark red from the inside out.

    In this thick and frightening color, countless slender, twisted, frantically swimming ugly shadows can be vaguely seen. Tens of millions, hundreds of millions, billions, densely packed, all of them are blood-colored worms, which are more eerie and terrifying than the red tide disaster caused by algae flooding.

    The entire area of ​​the East Siberian Sea changed in just a few seconds.

    The smell of rotting blood, which neither the sea breeze nor the heavy snow could quench, blanketed Santo Dobbo.

    Chu Yunsheng walked into the command center of the wharf and saw the satellite cloud image displayed on the center screen and the close-up image of the flying machine.

    The former is shock and shock, the latter is fear and scalp tingling.

    "Report! The first coating of the hull is damaged by corrosion, and plague worms are constantly crawling up!"

    "Report! Explorer 1 has dived, surrounded by small worms swimming, yet no insect gods have been found!"

    "Satellite ready to lock!"

     "Immediately put the special medicines of the Eighth and Ninth Hospitals!"

    "All attention, all attention, beware of the sudden attack of the insect god!"

    "It's a fart **** of insects! Everyone cheer up, this time we will pull this stubborn tumor from the East Siberian Sea to it!"

    The command center was full of tension and seriousness.

    Chu Yunsheng and other experts were invited to dozens of monitoring screens to observe and analyze the situation, and acted as front-line smart brains in the rear.

    When everyone who sat down saw the scene on the screen clearly, their expressions became solemn and nervous, concerned and worried.

    The lower half of the two icebreakers have been covered with worms, and the grooves on the deck are constantly pouring down the light blue potion, which is barely able to remove the tiny worms like a wave Wash down and prevent them from boarding.

    After receiving the order, metal holes were opened on all sides of the icebreaker, and huge test tubes were filled with thick or dark or green potions.

    With a loud thud after another, all the test tubes were thrown into the sea.

    Some test tubes start to break the moment they hit the sea surface, like a drop of thick ink falling into the water, spreading rapidly and diluting.

    Some test tubes continued to sink for tens or hundreds of meters after falling into the sea water before they exploded silently. sink deeper into the sea.

    Dark green and pitch black instantly replaced the frantically surging blood red.

    A large piece of blood red and ash fell.

    The number of creatures in the life detection monitoring dropped rapidly.

    "Success!"

    "The medicines of the eighth and ninth hospitals are useful!"

    Cries of ecstasy came from the command center and every communication channel.

    The plague worms died in large areas, and the submarine took the opportunity to sink quickly, trying to search for the passage, and the giant worm **** who had flashed a side under the Russian satellite monitoring.

    Suddenly.

    The seawater of the Arctic Ocean is boiling and flowing rapidly.

    The originally relatively small sea surface seemed to be hit by a tsunami, and one after another huge waves several meters high were thrown into the air, and more blood-colored worms screamed, frantically, surging from the bottom of the sea , surfaced, driving the waves towards the icebreaker and encircling the submarine.

    "Keep serving!"

    "Explorer One, please respond! Explorer One, please respond!"

    "Explorer II received please respond! Explorer II..."

    "Zizi...bugs have entered the submarine! Potion, potion! No, no, ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

    A shrill scream resounded through the command center.

    The screen instantly switches to the inside of the submarine, but only a large number of disgusting and sticky worms can be seen, and several afterimages that have been swallowed by the blood-colored worms, struggling and screaming.

    Guo Yao stood silent for two seconds in front of the screen, quickly raised his hand to salute, then cut off the screen and continued to command and arrange.

    "Continue!"

    "Explorer Six is ​​ready to enter the water!"

    "How many plague worms are there, even satellites may not be able to fully count them. Russia has spent two weeks cleaning up and killing them without success, so each of us needs to know, This is a protracted battle, and today is only the first day!"

    Everyone was silent.

    The first day.

    Seven submarines were swallowed and four icebreakers sank.

    Next day.

    Three submarines are missing, two icebreakers are sunk, and one is captured. Plague worms drive the ships, try to dock, and are forced back by bombardment.

    Day 5.

    Five submarines disappeared, all the Explorer series were killed, two icebreakers were all seized, the plague worm kept approaching the shore, and all the special teams patrolling the junction of San Dobbo Bay and the East Siberian Sea were infected Diseases, coughing, and parasites in the blood multiply wildly.

    The tenth day.

    Small tsunamis caused by plague worms continued to rush from the East Siberian Sea to Santo Dobbo Bay, just in case, all local residents were evacuated.

    Sixteenth day.

    There are not enough medicines available for injection, the Russian temporary laboratory has moved into the town, the plague worms are hissing day and night, the secret service team is constantly polluted by the spirit, delirium is crazy.

    The nineteenth day.

    Twenty-seven secret agents died strangely in a dream, the scene was brutal and bloody, thirty-two secret agents were contaminated, and suddenly attacked the expert group and command center, five experts were injured and killed, Guo Yao broke his left arm .

    Twenty-fourth day.

    More than 100 specially modified submarines and icebreakers were sunk. The two countries each added 50,000 special teams, stationed at the foot of the mountains farther from Santo Dobbo Bay.

    The twenty-seventh day.

    The plague worm drives all the wreckage of submarines and icebreakers, launches missiles, and successfully intercepts its invasion of Santo Dobbo Bay.

    Thirty-second day.

    The fierce confrontation between dark, dark green and blood red seems to gradually emerge a clear situation.

    Thirty-fifth day.

    The blood-colored tide fell to the downwind, the tsunami no longer appeared, the number of medicines delivered by the icebreaker increased, and the hissing of the plague worms gradually decreased.

    Thirty-eighth day.

    The twisted corpses soaked in black and green floated on the sea, a thick layer, ten meters long. The submarine dived and encountered a counterattack from the plague worm, but the number was very small and did not cause heavy casualties.

    Fiftyth day.

    Plague worms are almost never seen again.

    There is good news and bad news at the same time.

    The good news is that the submarine has finally discovered the ruins of an ancient civilization in the old world hundreds of millions of years ago. The bad news is that the real plague worm **** has not yet been discovered. I don't know if it has left or is lurking in the dark waiting for an opportunity.

    "It will be two months."

    Xu Hai was sitting in the submarine spiritedly, looking at the deep sea outside the window, with a sigh and a heavy voice: "We have invested too much in this battle, and have suffered too many casualties, and finally we see such a There is a silver lining."

      Taking me into account, everything is based on channel exploration."

    There is an expert who is Xu Hai's disciple, and jokingly said: "Teacher, if you're welcome, the passage is much more important than you, so don't worry about that!"

     "Elder Xu, hurry up and expel him from the division!"

    "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble!"

    The submarine continued to sink, and the atmosphere inside gradually became active, filled with laughter and laughter, swept away the heavy depression of the past few days.

    Finally see the direction of hope, who can not laugh from the heart?

    But Chu Yunsheng had a hunch in his heart that this exploration might not be too smooth.

    After ten minutes, the submarine arrived at the predetermined position.

    Through the small window, you can see the deep sea illuminated by the lights outside.

    There is no trace of any fish around, all are the ruins of broken walls, this is the relic of the East Siberian Sea identified before. In the center of the ruins, there is a statue of a **** that has collapsed and been destroyed to the point where only the legs of countless tentacles remain.

    Identify it carefully, you can see that countless stars are dotted on the spread skirt of the statue.

    This matches the image of the Guardian of the New World Passage as described in Secrets of the Astral.

    Crossing the ruins and continuing forward for about fifty meters, a deep cracked and narrow ocean trench slowly appeared.

    There are some wandering strange brilliance floating above the trench, which makes people think of brightness and dream, hope and warmth at first sight.

    The submarine split into three small parts and rolled into the trench one after another along the water potential.

    The sense of weightlessness came, and the vision and body spun wildly.

    Chu Yunsheng was dizzy in an instant, his nausea was almost uncontrollable, and he wanted to rush to his throat.

    In the vagueness, he heard the shouts of the driver and their small part of the secret service team in the scattered warehouse, all to remind everyone to stabilize their physical and mental state, not to move or order at will Lose consciousness.

    In these shouts, there are also many vomits one after another.

    The stench and strange sea smell permeated.

    This painful descent took about ten minutes.

    Chu Yunsheng opened the vomit bag in front of the seat, and before the uncomfortable nausea was fully brewed, the dispersion bin suddenly stopped rolling.

    He subconsciously turned his head to look out, and was slightly surprised to find that there was no sea water and air bubbles outside the scattered warehouse at this time, but just like land, filled with air and withered yellow weeds everywhere , On the tree that had lost all its leaves, there was still a crow combing its feathers.

    "My God, a miracle! It's a miracle!"

    "Look at the satellite image! This is no longer the East Siberian Sea, this is the depths of the Arctic Ocean!"

    "There is such a world in the deep Arctic sea of ​​thousands of meters!"

    The secret service and the experts tentatively walked out of the dispersion warehouse and found that it was exactly the same as the surface of the earth. There was no seawater, sufficient oxygen, and there was no heavy pressure that could grind people into thin paper.

    Everyone was excited and excited.

    "Hurry up, get everything out!"

    "The communicator signal is weak, but it still works!"

    "On camera!"

    They quickly took out various instruments, tested the situation here, and collected various samples. After doing all this, everyone regrouped, packed most of their gear, and proceeded cautiously.

      prairie.

    The prairie is covered with a deep blue, I don’t know if it is the sea above my head, or the special sky in different space.

    Ten secret agents and four experts of the secret service team took the landing point of the scattered warehouse as the center and dropped a dozen detection robot snakes around, two of which brought back very useful information. It was some simple pattern that looked like a road sign.

    "Divided into two teams, follow these two road signs to explore separately, and keep in touch at any time!"

    The team leader Hou Wanguo made a decision.

    The team was quickly completed, Chu Yunsheng, Xu Hai, and the other five special agents chose one of the signposted directions to explore.

    The endless yellow grassland, with sparse trees and dark blue domes.

    Chu Yunsheng walked forward while looking for the road sign.

    The physical strength is gradually lost, the signal is weaker, and the fatigue caused by the long journey is getting heavier.

    They looked at the time, and it was obvious that they had only walked for less than two hours, but it was as if they had run a long-distance marathon, and they were exhausted physically and mentally.

    Not long after, they encountered a forest, the robot snake went first, and the secret service waited outside, paying attention to the images from the robot snake.

    Xu Hai gritted his teeth all the time, and walked here with a breath, finally no longer holding on, and sat down to rest.

    His hands were trembling a little, he opened his backpack and took out a box of medicine, and he greeted Chu Yunsheng to come and help him inject. He didn't want to be the one who was dragging his feet.

    On a smooth stone, Chu Yunsheng leaned over and just finished injecting the medicine in the needle, when he heard Hou Wanguo, who was staring at the detection screen, suddenly shouted: "Wait! Stop! Down! Look... look at what that is! Opposite!"

    "What?"

    "Bridge! That's a bridge! Opposite the bridge is the starry sky! Starry sky!"

    "Is this the passage to the new world, leading to the starry sky, leading to a new planet, the second earth!"

    Everyone screamed in ecstasy.

    Chu Yunsheng was also stunned, still a little unbelievable, so... found it?

    Xu Hai didn't even bother to press the cotton swab, he rushed out in front of the screen, and after seeing the picture on the screen clearly, he picked up his backpack and shouted: "What are you still doing? , hurry up! Hurry up and follow!"

    The secret service team immediately ended their rest and ran through the forest.

    After ten minutes, everyone came to the depths of the forest where the robot snake was crawling.

    This is an open space.

    The soil of the open space is dark, and in the center stands a huge bronze altar several meters high. Behind the altar, a bridge that slants upwards is continuously stretched and stretched, crossing the broken cliff in front of it and going straight to the opposite side.

     Opposite, there is a steel platform suspended in the air, on the platform stands a pitch-black giant door, behind the giant door is a vast and deep starry universe, with countless bright and disappearing whirlpools floating up and down .

    The old figure of Xu Hai stopped in front of the altar, and his wrinkled face showed hopeful joy for a while, and then full of bitter and sour tears: "Finally...Finally, it's been fifty or sixty years. , after half a century, we finally..."

    "Exactly the same, exactly the same as the description of the mystery of the astral world... Strange events, the old days of the outer gods, how can human beings be inferior to worms in their mouths!"

    "It's good now... don't fight with them, let's go to the new world, to the new earth!"

    Xu Hai's disciple stepped forward and patted Xu Hai's back: "Teacher."

      "

    The surrounding area of ​​the altar has been inspected, and the people of the special service team put on their equipment and can't wait to go to the bridge to explore.

    But at this moment, Chu Yunsheng suddenly reached out and stopped a very young secret service.

    "Professor Chu?"

    Chu Yunsheng looked at Lu Zhixian and seriously asked the original protagonist of this world: "Did you dream last night? What was the result of our exploration?"

    Lu Zhixian was stunned for a moment, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, obviously he did not expect Chu Yunsheng to suddenly ask such a question.

    He and this President Chu met several times at the command center, and escorted these experts, but basically did not say a word, it can be said that they are strangers.

    In this case, how did he know that I would have precognitive dreams? The seventh place only thought that his abnormality was a change in physical quality.

    Although there was a sense of guilt and tension in his heart that he was seen through, but Lu Zhixian still knew the importance of this exploration, he did not intend to lie: "Do, do I had a dream... I dreamed that the end of the bridge was broken and destroyed, but we still boarded the steel platform, as if it was repaired using the technology of the ancient desert country relics..."

    Everyone's eyes turned to Chu Yunsheng and Lu Zhixian.

    They vaguely realized the reason why Chu Yunsheng stopped Lu Zhixian to ask.

      The bridge is really broken, the young man's dream is the end, haven't we repaired it too?"

     Hou Wanguo also said: "It's just a matter of time. We have waited for so long and searched for so long, are we still stingy with this time? One by one, they immediately cried and lost their faces. They went back to the command center to see, We should have thought we had come back without success."

    "Go, go up and see!"

    "It's a big deal, I'm here to build the bridge!"

    "Up!"

    According to Xu Hai's words, the secret service team no longer entangled in Lu Zhixian's dream, but took a step forward and walked onto this iron bridge that slanted upward like a rainbow.

    Soon, they reached the end of the bridge and saw the dark giant door and the mysterious starry sky up close.

    At the same time, they also found that, as Lu Zhixian saw in his dream, the last section of the flybridge leading to the steel platform, about ten meters, has broken and disappeared, and you can see the traces of the cross section. The shape seems to have been bitten by some behemoth, leaving only tooth marks.

     "Repair, must be repaired!"

    The submarine returned to the dock, and all the images and data were sent back. Guo Yao, the director of the Russian Security Bureau, and all the experts and leaders, all shouted this sentence decisively.

    They spent decades searching all over the world day and night. For an exploration, they piled up hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of lives. What do they want?

    It's a ray of possibility to a new world!

    Now, this passage is at hand, and no matter what the cost, they will fix it. As long as it is repaired, as long as the door is opened, and as long as they enter the wormhole in the starry sky, they can bring all the human beings on the earth to a new planet together, and have a peaceful life as peaceful as a long time ago.

    What a wonderful future.

    They have no reason to give up.

    January 1, 2026, the beginning of the new year, also seems to mean the beginning of a new era.

    The multinational joint security organization was established on this day, and completely blocked the East Siberian Sea area, and began to gather the strength of all countries in the world to repair the passage iron bridge.

    The major sects have noticed this movement and received news one after another, but it is no longer possible to secretly enter the East Siberian Sea and the Arctic Ocean.

    Chu Yunsheng, as a member of the team that first discovered the passage, after three days of isolation and observation, and after confirming that there was no abnormality in body and spirit, he began to run back and forth between the command center and the forest iron bridge .

    The patching process was not smooth.

    Plague worms are inexhaustible and have not been completely eliminated. They often attack submarines and scattered warehouses, causing casualties.

    The insect **** hidden in the dark appeared three times.

    A tsunami brought a tsunami and directly flooded the command center. Guo Yao, director of the Huaxia Security Bureau, died in the tsunami. There was no funeral. Three hours later, his replacement had already appeared in the on the wreckage of the command center.

    The other two brought incurable plagues and large-scale parasitic infections, killing more than 100,000 people, and along the coast of the Arctic Ocean, every ten steps, there will be a floating corpse.

    It is the experts and secret service who are in charge of repairing the bridge. They must rotate every 24 hours. People who fall into madness, commit suicide and kill people, appear every day.

    Scholars of ancient civilization technology who study the ruins of the ancient desert country day and night in the temporary laboratory are often contaminated by some items in the ruins, and the blood on the walls of the laboratory is smeared. Layer after layer, has been scrubbed off.

    No one restrains the bones, no one grieves.

    Everyone is only doing one thing, building the bridge, building this bridge to the new world.

    They are chasing time.

    Before all terror fully awakens, they will pierce the gray dome and release a ray of hope.

    Ten months, ten meters repaired.

    The rotation of spring, summer, autumn and winter, at this time, finally ushered in the final result.

    Hundreds of forerunners, already selected, arrived at the bridge deck, waiting for the last two centimeters of iron bridges to be filled.

    Innumerable lines of sight converge here through the large screens in the command center and the confidential conference rooms of various countries.

    Chu Yunsheng stood in the queue of the pioneers, touching the metal box in the backpack mentally.

    "The passage is about to be repaired."

    He said.

    As if sensing his emotions, the brain that had been dormant for nearly a year slowly appeared blurred colors, pulsing again and again.

    A strange spiritual force was connected to Chu Yunsheng's brain, the frantic hissing was faint and inaudible under the suppression of the pendant, and the hazy vision was blurred.

    At this moment, the last section of the bridge was repaired, and there were countless heart-piercing excited shouts around, crying frantically with joy.

    Rong Chen's voice was also illusory and clear into Chu Yunsheng's ears.

    "This is where..."

    "The passage to the new world, the city of Layetoyas in your mouth." Chu Yun whispered.

    Rong Chen muttered: "The city of Layetoyas..."

    "No, not..."

    "This is not the city of Layetoyas, the totem on the door is not... it, it belongs to the Chaos!"

    Chu Yunsheng's pupils shrank suddenly.

    No one knows this kind of text, but everyone seems to understand it, uncontrollably, and whispered:

    "The rotting worm lays the giant eggs of the gods, and the boon of old comes with death!"

    "The rotting worm lays the giant eggs of the gods, the old..."

    "The rotting worm gave birth to a god..."

    Scratching his skin and hair, blood dripped down his body, and flesh filled his fingernails.

    This place seems to have become an evil sacrificial place in an instant, and it seems that there is an unstoppable large-scale mass hysteria.

    Only three were awake.

    Looking at the line of text, Lu Zhixian was laughing and crying frantically.

    Xu Hai, who had two expressions of struggle, pain and fanatical worship, flickered on his face.

    There is also Chu Yunsheng who has opened the metal box.

    "The door is opening...no one can stop it."

    Rong Chen realized the current situation: "I can't either, unless I wake up... But then I may not be me... It would be, more terrifying than now... Disaster."

    "I can't stop it, but I can... go in and help you delay... until you get out of here... twenty minutes..."

    Chu Yunsheng hesitated for two seconds, but only for two seconds. He has no spare time.

    "Good."

    He said.

    He did not ask Rong Chen if he could come out alive after entering. Because Rong Chen didn't say it, it meant that he couldn't.

    The flesh and blood brain in the metal box slowly melted into a pool of dark water.

    The water fell on the steel platform, and vines with strange patterns grew out of it, surrounding the outline of a human.

    The outline highlighted a pale face with half-closed eyes, he glanced erratically at Xu Hai not far away, then at Chu Yunsheng, and laughed lowly, as if a pun He said softly, "I know you will make this decision, teacher."

    Chu Yunsheng's expression moved slightly.

    He raised his eyes and said slowly, "Yin Zheng's fate is not in anyone's hands. To change it, you need to do it yourself."

    "I have a hunch that this will be the last world, and we will meet in the real dimension after we grow old. This is not a dream, but a fact."

      Now, if I die here, I shouldn't be able to see it."

     Those eyes stared at him: "Does the teacher regret it?"

    "I have worked so hard, how many worlds I have gone through, the spiritual power to mend for you, you have to give up life and death for this world made up of only data. And you know very well that even if the Chaos does not come , and sooner or later other old days will wake up, this world cannot be saved, but you have me, you can be alone."

    Chu Yunsheng did not answer Rong Chen's question, but instead asked: "Is this really just pure data?"

    Rong Chen, or Yin Zheng did not answer.

    "Arnold of Ferguson judges me not like the people of this world."

    Chu Yun said: "But I always feel that this world feels strange to me, but it is very familiar. No, it is not familiar, but a sense of deja vu."

    "But aside from these, no matter where I am, I will make the choice I want with my principles."

    Yin Zheng sighed: "What a familiar sentence."

    He had a psychedelic and helpless smile: "I can never control you, teacher. Lock you up, put a gun to your heart, put a knife to your neck, You won't listen to me. I always thought you were wrong, but then I realized that maybe you were right."

    "But then, it was too late."

    Yin Zheng's voice gradually became lower, and the jet-black water flow had already arrived in front of the pitch-black giant door that vibrated more and more violently with the countless chanting sounds.

    The delirium hissed more and more frantically.

    Illusions of ancient civilizations one after another, the atmosphere of **** sacrifices one after another, on the steel platform and the endless starry sky, they will die out.

    Finally, the dark water seeped into the door and disappeared.

    Chu Yunsheng stared at the giant gate in a daze. After a while, he withdrew his eyes as if waking up from a dream, quickly got up and walked to Lu Zhixian, took off the pendant on his neck, hung it It came to Lu Zhixian.

    Lu Zhixian's frantic movements suddenly froze. Like a demented puppet, he suddenly turned his head to look at Chu Yunsheng.

    "You know what this prophecy means."

    Chu Yunsheng's tone was definitely authentic.

    Lu Zhixian opened his mouth, his lips trembled: "I...I know...I know...the first dream, the first dream of getting my mother's nails, I forgot, I don't know When did I forget... the end... it was the end..."

    "Human beings are lowly and lowly beings... There is no hope, there is no hope for everything, the old gods will eventually recover... All the efforts of human beings are... dying..."

    "The passageway...the passageway to the new world...was destroyed long ago..."

    "The small experiments of the outer gods and the old days, to observe the survival ability of the ants, to play with... play with the small experiments of the ants... They bet right... Chaos bet right... Human beings can't save themselves, Can't save the world...can't save anything...can't save anything...will all die...all will die..."

    Chu Yunsheng stunned Lu Zhixian and walked quickly to Xu Hai's side. Xu Hai was completely insane, not even struggling to wake up, but in his hand he was still holding something that no one else had. secret communicator.

    Chu Yunsheng pulled Xu Hai's fingers apart one by one, and Chu Yunsheng took out the communicator and dialed the only number.

     "Hello? Mr. Xu? What happened there, the picture was disturbed and completely blurred!"

    A middle-aged male voice said eagerly.

    "I am Chu Yunsheng of the Ninth Research Institute."

    Chu Yunsheng said solemnly: "There is no passage to the new world, only the old days that are about to wake up. I know this is your secret communication channel, and you have given President Xu a precaution against everything Unexpected privilege. President Xu can no longer make this decision, and now it is up to me to apply for the Security Bureau to bomb this place with antimatter missiles."

    The middle-aged male voice was silent for a few seconds: "President Chu, you don't have this authority, we can't know the situation there, and we can't trust you."

    At this moment, Xu Hai hoarse and screamed intermittently outside the communicator: "Bomb... bomb! Bomb... bomb here!"

    Ten seconds of silence.

    The middle-aged man's voice finally came: "We know. The missile has been activated, President Chu, do you have anything else to say?"

    "All clues to the passage are the traps of the gods."

    Chu Yunsheng said calmly.

    He raised his eyes, looked at the steel platform, the long bridge, and the altar crouching one after another insane figure, at the pitch-black giant door with cracks, at the vast, indifferent and eternal Starry sky: "The passage to the new world has been destroyed, but hopefully it will not be destroyed."

    "Don't give up."

    Before he finished speaking, Chu Yunsheng raised his head and saw a light falling slowly above the dark blue.

    October 6, 2026.

    A huge energy light group rose from the Arctic Ocean, and the sea water evaporated a lot.

    Antimatter missile exploded, countless glaciers and creatures turned into the most gorgeous aurora on earth, evaporated and vaporized.

    Forerunners were wiped out.
