Chapter 99 Beautiful World (15th Monthly Pass)
After climbing out of the cave and returning to the ground, Lu Chao felt like he was a different life.
"I hope I can find such a game room on my future journey."
After sorting out his emotions, Lu Chao hugged Yaya, took Xiaohei with him, and rode his bicycle to set off again.
This time, we headed towards the tunnel in the mountain.
The tunnel is very long, and the darker the more you go inside. Fortunately, the cement road is very straight and there are no obstacles along the way. Even if you touch the darkness, Lu Chao could still ride forward steadily until the light ahead becomes brighter and brighter.
Lu Chao suspected that the cement roads had the function of automatic barrier cleaning, so they were so neat. Otherwise, some artificial traces should have been left behind.
Half an hour later, Lu Chao finally rode out of the tunnel and came to the other side of the mountain.
On this side of the mountain, there are still woods.
Lu Chao already knew the result, so he would not be very disappointed.
I have lived in the woods for too long. The woods gave Lu Chao food to survive and taught Lu Chao a lot of survival experience. Relatively speaking, he would be safer in the woods.
But he still wanted to leave the woods.
Want to find a new world.
Keep riding.
Riding along the cement road.
Will there be plain areas in the far east?
Will there be more mountains?
Will there be a sea?
Will there be new functional buildings?
It can't be always endless woods, right?
Cycling.
Cycling does not delay the practice of "Body Forging Technique".
Not only Lu Chao trains his body, but Yaya also trains his body together.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Chao stopped and entered the woods to find a suitable place to build a camp.
There was no house that was 'hijacked', nor was there a mountain cave to use.
After some thought, Lu Chao decided to build a simple tree house on the tree.
This will basically avoid attacks from the ground.
I hope I won't meet bears again.
It is said to be a tree house, but it is actually something similar to a basket woven with branches. After it is weaved, it is found a suitable tree, placed it between several branches, and fixed it with a rope woven with a bark. Then Lu Chao tied Yaya to her body with a waist stool to hide in the basket, and covered it with a rainproof cover.
Of course, a basket will be built for Xiao Hei as a wolf den and then throw it into the wolf den.
Now Lu Chao has changed from an otaku to a wild survival expert.
His requirements for the camp are getting lower and lower, and his ability to survive in the wild is getting stronger and stronger.
...
unconsciously.
Another half month has passed.
In the past half a month, Lu Chao estimated that he had ridden at least more than a thousand kilometers eastward on the cement road.
This also means that there is already more than a thousand kilometers between him and the place where he was "hijacked" from, that is, his house.
If the bicycle wasn't about to fall apart, it would be fine if he rode two thousand kilometers in the past half month.
Along the way, Lu Chao did not meet anyone.
I didn't encounter a wild beast.
No supermarket was found.
I never encountered the same mountain as before, and I didn’t find a mysterious and interesting game room that can get rewards.
There is nothing but the endless woods.
The whole world really seems to be dead.
More than a thousand kilometers.
It is almost impossible to go back to the home in the woods before.
Because, the journey home is too long.
During the past half month, Lu Chao's practice of "Body Forging Technique" every day has once again improved his physical fitness. According to Lu Chao's estimate, it should have reached 160 points or even higher.
Practicing "Body Fighting Technique" can break through the limits of ordinary human physique.
His internal strength should have also been improved a lot.
The shock punch can shoot more than 80 punches in a row. I wonder if it means that his internal strength is already more than 80 points.
And Yaya's internal strength should be much higher than that of Lu Chao.
Although Lu Chao's talent is only 41, when he was practicing with Yaya in his arms, Lu Chao deeply suspected that the cultivation speed was based on Yaya's talent, not his.
With Yaya here, he believes that he will become stronger and stronger in time.
In half a month, more than one thousand kilometers.
More than a thousand kilometers are almost the distance between the capital of China and the Jiangcheng of the Jiushengtongqu.
In other words, if Lu Chao was replaced in the real world in the past half month, he would have almost crossed half of China.
The cement road stretching for more than a thousand kilometers, more than a thousand kilometers wide, and even wider woods continue to extend.
There are only woods on both sides of the road, and this kind of thing is impossible to happen in the real world.
But there is a way to understand.
That's in computer games.
As long as some terrain maps, such as various trees, can be copied infinitely in the designed map and created a super-large wood map.
Will this be a game world?
Very likely.
Especially after Lu Chao played the game in the game room.
In that game, there was no difference between games and reality.
If the dimensional space is a game world, this cement road may have no end at all.
The mysterious power behind it will be designed as long as it wants.
If this is true, Lu Chao's exploration and persistence will have no meaning.
But what else can he do besides persevering?
On the way forward, when Lu Chao saw endless woods and then endless woods, he often felt hopeless. But he tried not to think about these despairs. He always made himself believe that there must be a different beautiful world ahead of the cement road.
He may only need to ride one more day, another hundred kilometers, another ten kilometers, another a few hundred meters... to reach the beautiful finishing point.
In this way, he persisted day after day until today.
Until today, the bicycle he had stepped down on was finally completely on strike after a long-distance ride of more than a thousand kilometers.
Metal fatigue, spindle breaks, and there is no way to repair it.
Night has come.
Lu Chao skillfully made a treehouse camp.
Rearing leaning against the simple basket-style tree house, holding the sleeping Yaya in his arms, Lu Chao began to think again.
The bike is gone, will you continue tomorrow?
If you don't continue, are there any other choices?
Lu Chao suspected that once he stopped, his whole body would be surrounded by despair and sadness. This extreme despair and sadness would probably defeat his remaining will and drive him into a state of no return.
But, what is the meaning of perseverance?
In order to prove that I have not been abandoned by this world?
There is no doubt that he has been abandoned by Yili.
She even used death to abandon him permanently.
He was also abandoned by the real world that once was.
Now it has even been abandoned by the Dimensional Supermarket.
The only one who did not abandon him was Yaya in his arms.
He has not fallen yet. The only meaning and only belief of perseverance is left.
...
A night of hard thinking.
Lu Chao got up very late the next morning.
When I woke up in the morning, I lifted up the basket of the simple tree house, and snowflakes slowly fell from the gaps between the branches.
It is so beautiful that people can feel a faint sadness.
The leaves have not been covered with snow.
This means that the snow fell in the morning.
It's snowing again.
This is the second snowfall after he was 'hijacked' into this dimensional space.
It's almost winter now, and it's the coldest time of the four seasons.
This seems to mean that his riding on the cement road is coming to an end for the time being.
Once snow falls on the cement road, you will no longer be able to continue riding.
By the way, Lu Chao suddenly remembered that he had been abandoned by his bicycle.
Even if there was no snow, he couldn't continue riding.
Well, how bad can the situation continue?
After coming down from the tree house and having a simple breakfast, Lu Chao still habitually came to the cement roadside.
He didn't know where he could go.
There is no snow on the cement road.
Should I take advantage of the cement road still being able to walk and walk a few kilometers eastward?
Maybe... the beautiful world he hopes is just a few kilometers away?
If he gives up, he will have to wait until the snow melts before he sets off again.
It's late winter now, who knows how long this snow will last?
If the snow is thick, it may not melt throughout the winter.
Then... walk for a while.
The last section of the road.
Then, when the snow fell thicker, he entered the woods again to build a relatively stable camp, and settled Yaya and Xiao Hei.
Wait quietly for the snow to finish, and then wait until the snow melts.
Wait for next spring to arrive.
Fighting with the flying snowflakes, Lu Chao set out on the road again.
This time it was a walk.
The snowflakes slowly laid a thin layer on the road and then gradually became thicker.
Lu Chao's footprints appeared behind him one by one, from shallow to deep.
I wonder if there will be some new changes in the woods when next spring comes?
Did he continue to go east at that time? Or would he return to the home more than a thousand kilometers away?
I don’t know if Yaya’s little flower dog is waiting there.
Wait for her to hug and kiss.
Going back, does it make sense?
Is it meaningful to keep moving forward?
Is the meaning of a person's life to go home or to explore a broader world?
That home has been no longer home since it has been gone.
Her home, even in the city, is no different from being in the wilderness.
After she left, the loneliness in his heart was equally profound, both in the city and in the wilderness.
His sorrow, like this cement road, will never end.
If she is there, her home will be there, and she will leave, and his life will no longer be back.
The beautiful world ahead he was looking forward to was just a phantom. In fact, he knew very well what he was looking forward to.
In that phantom, there was him, her, and Yaya.
What he was looking forward to was not a beautiful world, but a beautiful figure.
After seeing this, a figure that would happily open its arms and jump over, a figure that could hold Yaya's little hand with him and then move forward happily.
He knew very well that that figure would never appear again.
Yaya has even forgotten that figure.
If human hearts are already deserted, life is full of wilderness.
And now, Yaya is his home.
He has never left home.
Because, he kept holding home in his arms.
Even if the snowflakes in the sky freeze the whole world, his arms are always warm.
This is his responsibility as a father.
