237: Chapter 237 Two Thousand Years Later

The mechas' consumption was simply too terrifying, so it was a last resort... and he was too embarrassed to ask Chu Han for more.

"So it was mecha consumption? That's simple... I'll just ask Mumu for ten trillion!" Mu Cheng was speechless.

Why couldn't she just say so? She had to be so hesitant.

He quickly sent the information to Tao Mumu. At this moment, the mineral vein was being successfully mined, so ten trillion star-glow crystals were not a problem at all.

Tao Mumu traded them over very readily, and Mu Cheng immediately traded them to Xiao Luolu.

"Can we set off now?"

"Mm-hmm. But before that, let me tell you, the monsters in the Life Forbidden Zone are very, very strong. Be mentally prepared." Xiao Luolu nodded with satisfaction.

Mu Cheng didn't take it to heart at all. "Don't I have you?"

"Fine, hurry up and keep up." Xiao Luolu was momentarily speechless and could only soar into the sky and leave.

Mu Cheng followed closely behind and asked, "Sister Luoluou... isn't it the Life Forbidden Zone? What if we can't come back?"

He still had a certain understanding of the Life Forbidden Zone; it really was possible to go there and never return.

"Actually, the Life Forbidden Zone isn't as terrifying as you imagine. Those who can't come back are others, not me." Xiao Luolu still had this much confidence.

"Alright then! Don't take it to heart, I was just asking." Mu Cheng was a bit at a loss for words.

However, he still believed that Xiao Luolu really had that kind of strength.

About six hours later, the two finally arrived at the edge of the Savage Life Forbidden Zone.

"Keep up!" Xiao Luolu wasn't flustered at all and flew straight inside.

Mu Cheng also followed closely behind...

What appeared before him, besides desolate piles of rocks, were still desolate piles of rocks.

"By the way, Sister Luoluou... aren't there Devouring Tentacles? Why haven't we encountered any?" Mu Cheng asked quite puzzledly.

From the looks of it now, the so-called Life Forbidden Zone wasn't that dangerous...

Xiao Luolu explained helplessly, "That was in the past. Now is different from before; otherwise, would we even dare to enter?"

"Of course, think about it carefully. If there were Devouring Tentacles, do you think the Demon God Clan army could still come?"

"Wait... you mean to say that we can go to the second layer of the Battlefield now?" Mu Cheng finally reacted.

Xiao Luolu: "What are you thinking? Of course not. But for others, a price must be paid."

"Forget it... this topic is getting a bit off track."

"Fine!" Mu Cheng didn't ask further.

The two continued to travel through the wasteland. The further they went... the gloomier the surroundings became.

It was like a fog was rising; only when they were close could they see clearly.

"This place is quite eerie. We'd better be careful!" Xiao Luolu suddenly said.

This immediately made Mu Cheng extremely cautious.

"Hmm? Could it be that it wasn't like this before?"

"Mm-hmm, it definitely wasn't like this. But since we're already here, no matter how strange it is, we have to push forward." Xiao Luolu nodded in response.

"Alright! I'll follow your lead." Mu Cheng also noticed this detail.

They flew like this for a full three days.

"Ah, what's going on here?" Xiao Luolu started to get a bit flustered.

Mu Cheng: "Should we continue?"

Along the way, it was indeed quiet enough to be frightening...

"Of course we have to continue." Xiao Luolu naturally didn't want to give up.

But before they had gone much further, a transparent barrier appeared in front of them... No one knew what was on the other side.

"It looks like a secret realm. Let's go in and take a look." Xiao Luolu was just about to step in.

But she was grabbed by Mu Cheng, who was looking at the map page.

"Wait... beyond this is Blue-White Star, but it always feels like something is weird."

"It really is Blue-White Star... At worst, we'll just go back once." Xiao Luolu also studied it and said.

"Then alright!" Mu Cheng also felt things were a bit strange, but he couldn't care too much and followed Xiao Luolu.

It was indeed another world.

"Huh? The signal is gone. It seems we've completely lost contact." Xiao Luolu suddenly realized.

Mu Cheng didn't care too much. "Let's explore first... and see what the situation is!"

"I'll follow your lead." Xiao Luolu didn't have any objections.

Ten days later, the two finally saw a city, a city full of high technology...

This city was located within a City Ruins.

"Are there humans ahead? What on earth is going on?" Mu Cheng looked at the scene before him in disbelief.

Xiao Luolu: "Let's go down and see."

"Mm-hmm." Mu Cheng had no objection and followed closely...

Arriving at the City Ruins, he finally saw clearly that they were indeed humans, and they were clearing out zombies...

"Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 zombies, but they're quite a bit stronger than ordinary ones. And those are laser weapons." Mu Cheng quickly observed and understood everything.

Xiao Luolu: "It seems they don't need us. Let's go take a look in the city!"

After saying that, she transformed into a human...

"Fine! I'll hide my identity too." Mu Cheng put on a black robe again, taking on the identity of Zero.

In less than ten minutes, the two had already arrived at the city.

From a distance, this city's technology did seem quite developed, but in reality, it wasn't quite so; there were also many ancient-style houses.

"Huh? Is this Blue-White Star?" Mu Cheng expressed his utter confusion.

Xiao Luolu: "It probably is! Why don't you change back to your original appearance? I feel a bit out of place."

"Okay! I'll do as you say." Mu Cheng also felt it was very strange and changed back into his black trench coat.

"Let's find someone to ask." Xiao Luolu was too lazy to wander around and directly pulled a young boy to ask.

"Little boy, where is this?"

"This is... Jiang City." The young boy was clearly frightened.

After Mu Cheng took a careful look, he discovered that the boy also had a high-tech bracelet on his right wrist.

However, it was clearly visible that it was quite a few grades higher than his own.

"Jiang City? Look at this high-tech bracelet of mine, why can't it connect to the network?" Xiao Luolu asked again.

The young boy was still quite afraid. "This... Sister, I've never even seen this high-tech bracelet of yours."

"Tell me, what year is it now?" Mu Cheng noticed something was wrong and immediately asked.

Little boy: "It's the year 2059 of the apocalypse. If you two are lost, you can go to Jiangcheng Academy. Just keep going straight."

Nervously, he pointed ahead.

"Alright! Thank you, little boy." Xiao Luolu didn't ask for nothing; she took out a star-glow crystal and gave it to him.

Little boy: "Sister... this is too valuable."

"Take it! I'm not short of them." Xiao Luolu immediately felt it was strange.

"Let's hurry to Jiangcheng Academy and take a look."

"Mm-hmm." Mu Cheng nodded and followed.

After walking some distance away.

"Have we come to the future? The fact that star-glow crystals are so valuable is indeed quite strange." Mu Cheng spoke up.

Xiao Luolu: "It's indeed possible we've come to the future, and almost most of the people are ordinary people."

"Whatever, let's ask when we get to Jiangcheng Academy." Mu Cheng was too lazy to think too much.

All the answers would be known once they arrived there.

About thirty minutes later, the two finally arrived at the so-called Jiangcheng Academy, but in reality, it wasn't quite like that.

It was a commercial street, and there were quite a few people coming and going.

At the very end of this street was Jiangcheng Academy...

"There's also a Chu Family Chamber of Commerce here. Let's go check it out." Xiao Luolu quickly noticed it.

Mu Cheng had no objections and soon arrived at the Chu Family Chamber of Commerce.

Coming out to greet them was an AI lady.

"Sir, Madam, is there anything Xiao Chu No. 180 can help you with?"

"I want to see the president." Xiao Luolu was too lazy to waste words.

Xiao Chu No. 180 automatically operated the screen and began to lead the way in front.

"Please follow Xiao Chu No. 180."

Under the lead of this AI lady, the two soon arrived at a VIP room.

"Please wait, honored guests. The president will be here in a moment."

After saying that, Xiao Chu No. 180 left. Mu Cheng and Xiao Luolu hadn't been sitting on the sofa for long.

Suddenly, a woman in formal attire walked in and asked very politely.

"Sir, Madam, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I want to buy two high-tech bracelets." Mu Cheng answered quite awkwardly.

"Hmm? I see your bracelets... seem to be from quite some time ago." The woman also noticed something was wrong.

But she still asked politely, "I wonder where you two... came from?"

Seeing Mu Cheng and Xiao Luolu hesitating, the woman added.

"I'm truly sorry, I didn't mean it that way. high-tech bracelets can be obtained for free, but information verification is required."

"How do we verify the information?" Xiao Luolu asked.

Woman: "It's very simple. Actually, your high-tech bracelets can still be used; they just don't have verified information..."

As she spoke, she even started to feel a bit afraid.

What era was this, and there were still people without information? It was indeed quite suspicious.

"Alright! Then please help us verify it." Mu Cheng also spoke up hurriedly.

For fear of running into any trouble...

"Just scan it to verify." The woman also hurriedly operated a screen.

Soon, Xiao Luolu and Mu Cheng completed the verification.

"This... Greetings, Chiefs." The woman was also frightened.

Mu Cheng: "Cough, cough, 'Chief' won't be necessary. We like to keep a low profile."

Since it could verify his identity as Zero, he was now absolutely certain and confirmed that this place was indeed the future...

"Mm-hmm, thank you. Let's go!" Xiao Luolu grabbed Mu Cheng and immediately left.

Xia Dynasty Capital, nebula control room.

"Huh? Luolu? Zero? They... No, it can't be them." Lan Ninger was instantly shocked.

However, she quickly requested a video call.

On the other side.

"Hmm? Just finished verification. It seems it should be someone from the high-level." Xiao Luolu saw the unfamiliar request for a video call.

After hesitating for a while, she still connected.

"Who are you? What on earth is going on?" On the other side was indeed Lan Ninger.

Xiao Luolu was also greatly shocked. "Sister Ninger? Is it really you? This... what on earth is going on?"

"No, to be more precise, this Sister Ninger has already passed more than two thousand years." Mu Cheng, who was beside her, spoke up.

Lan Ninger on the other side instantly understood. "I am not Lan Ninger, but a Super AI."

"You... are the Xiao Luolu and Mu Cheng from the early apocalypse?"

"This really is the world two thousand years later... Ah, is it a parallel world?" Xiao Luolu was also incredibly shocked.

Mu Cheng: "Sister Ninger, this isn't the place to talk. Can you teleport us away?"

"It's possible, but the problem is that star-glow crystals are too scarce now. For now, we try not to use teleportation as much as possible." Lan Ninger replied.

"That's easy to say. Just give me a location, and I'll... teleport over myself!" Mu Cheng thought for a moment and said.

The current nebula was still there, and he also had control permissions... teleporting once wouldn't be a big problem.

"Menglou Pavilion in the Xia Dynasty Capital." After Lan Ninger finished speaking, she directly ended the call.

"Are we really going over?" Xiao Luolu started to feel a bit worried.

Mu Cheng: "Of course. If we don't go... what can we do? Only with Sister Ninger can we understand things better."

"Alright! Anyway... I reckon that on Blue-White Star now, no one is our match." Xiao Luolu thought about it and also felt it made sense.

Mu Cheng didn't hesitate and soon operated the screen, controlling the nebula, and in the blink of an eye, they were teleported to Menglou Pavilion.

"Follow me! Sister Ninger is already waiting for you." It was a young lady who spoke politely.

"Her strength is only Tier 7. This Blue-White Star... what did it experience before?" Mu Cheng thought to himself secretly.

Soon the two were brought to a control room, and a digital phantom appeared out of thin air. Indeed, it was Lan Ninger.

"Sister Ninger... what's the situation with you?" Mu Cheng still couldn't hold back his emotions.

Lan Ninger: "It seems you really do come from two thousand years ago."

"What happened afterwards?" Xiao Luolu asked without wasting words.

Lan Ninger: "In the end, you all died in battle. The current Blue-White Star is no longer the Blue-White Star; it has merged together with the entire Battlefield."

"Not just Blue-White Star, the entire Milky Way has also grown by more than ten thousand times. Only then did we successfully use the Bagua Array to resist the Demon God Clan."

"Died in battle? Is there any history regarding this?" Mu Cheng had a look of disbelief.

Lan Ninger: "There are no specific records, but it's true that the Battlefield and Blue-White Star have merged."

"Sister Ninger, can you give me... the development of these two thousand years?" Xiao Luolu asked.

The technology here was more developed than Blue-White Star... by more than a hundred times.

Since they could come here, they could surely go back... Bringing back some high-tech technology would give them a better chance of winning.

"No problem. It might take ten days." Lan Ninger readily agreed.

Mu Cheng: "Can we... still go back?"

"Of course you can. You can treat this place as a secret realm; once the time is up, you'll be teleported back." Xiao Luolu was still certain.

Lan Ninger: "Mm-hmm, Luolu is right... but the specific time isn't quite clear.

Just after she finished speaking, a hidden hint appeared in front of Mu Cheng.

"[Friendly Hint: Departure countdown: 299 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds.]"

"Hmm? Three hundred days?" Mu Cheng thought for a moment and then asked.

"By the way, Sister Ninger, when we go back... will it be to the same time period?"

"Mm-hmm, the specific time is unclear. It could be ten years, or it could be that you can go back in a moment." Lan Ninger replied.

Mu Cheng: "Alright! Is there any trouble on Blue-White Star now? We can help out."

"Never mind, take as much information as we can." Xiao Luolu was also a bit stunned listening, but she didn't think too much.

"Mm-hmm, if there's any trouble, we can step in." Xiao Luolu nodded.

Lan Ninger: "There's quite a lot of trouble. The main thing now is still... the Monster King of the Black Sea, the Iron-Armored Dragon."

"Very well, we'll go over and deal with it right now." Mu Cheng agreed without a second thought.

Xiao Luolu also expressed, "Mm-hmm, leave it to us with peace of mind!"
