Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 437 See you in the distant future

The sky was filled with Coleoptera flying wildly in the air. The noise of flapping wings, the sound and flames of artillery fire, the wreckage of mechas being smashed and flying, and the sound of insects being shattered and burned by artillery fire echoed in the ears.

The smashed mechas around were almost identical to the silver-haired girls in the dream in the first act.

Jiang Ming didn't know where the girls he had met before were. It was simply a huge melee, a battle between the Gramer Iron Cavalry and the Zerg.

"Could it be... Is this the future I predicted, the war of extinction of the Grammer Iron Cavalry?!"

Jiang Ming was shocked. How come in his last dream, they were all happy and looking forward to the end of the war, but now they were in such a dangerous place! ?

The number of insects almost covered the entire planet, obscuring the sky, and the noise of their flapping wings made Jiang Ming feel noisy.

"Why do they fight to the death? Ah, is it a death order covered at the genetic level..."

In such a dangerous place, Jiang Ming was unable to sense the breath of those people he had met before, so he had to prepare to activate the rules of the universe to support them.

but......

"Can't move!?!?"

Jiang Ming gritted his teeth in his heart. At this moment, Jiang Ming was like a will that existed in his own life in this life. He only had the right to watch, but could not control his body!

"Why??"

Jiang Ming was unusually angry, but since he still had his will, he could still think. After a collision of thoughts, he gradually calmed down and convinced himself.

"This dream is just what I experienced countless lifetimes ago. It is just the so-called past. Even if I go to help them, whether they survive or not, the things that have been established in the future will not change. So I explore the dream only to restore past memories while improving the realm of the universe rules, rather than giving everything I have to help them. Of course, if I can control this body, I will naturally do my best to help them."

"I do what I can. This is my principle. Now I can only watch and let the dream develop. It's not my fault, but why should I do this in this life...? Why should I stand by and watch? Since you haven't been promoted to a star god yet, you should still have some humanity hidden."

After taking a deep breath, Jiang Ming no longer tried to seize control of his body. Instead, he decided to observe the real events in the dream from the perspective of this body in order to answer the questions in his mind.

"Command, Firefly Team 4 has found the queen."

"Request support!"

"Forward! Forward!"

"Repeat, request for support!"

"Firefly Team 2 has lost its signal."

"We were attacked in the Rift Valley."

"Forward! Forward!"

"Repeat, request for support!"

"This is not an ordinary attack, it's a swarm of insects... a swarm of insects!"

"......"

The voice in the communication trembled slightly, and more and more cavalry rose into the sky, but they were like tiny sparks, bursting out quickly and then being swallowed up by the darkness.

A large number of calls for support, commands, and the sound of losing contact with comrades came into my ears through the communicator.

The thrusters were ignited, and the actions imprinted in the genes began to be executed. The cavalrymen crashed into the swarm and quickly locked onto the weakest node. The flames covered the sky and the earth, almost illuminating the fallen planet.

The roar of killing continued to echo in his mind, but neither the Zerg nor the Iron Cavalry could find Jiang Ming hiding in the dark. Even though their numbers were outrageous, they still couldn't touch Jiang Ming at all in the melee.

He seemed to have lost the concept of existence. Facing the attacks of the insect swarm and the artillery of the cavalry, no one could touch him at all.

As the Iron Cavalry were smashed into pieces by the swarm of insects, Jiang Ming's sight was fixed on the few remaining Iron Cavalry.

Most of the Iron Cavalry were of Firefly-IV type, which was the same model as that of the long-haired girl. This made it even more difficult for Jiang Ming to detect the location of the long-haired girl, because he was not in control of this body and could not make any further determination of her aura.

boom! boom! boom!

Mushroom clouds of varying sizes exploded all over the planet, and dead Zerg lay paralyzed on the ground, piling up like a mountain.

The swarm of insects without any intelligence only knew how to kill. Their brains did not allow them to think. The flames of war spread across the sky, burning the clouds as well. The insects ran towards death with their fangs and claws bared, and then fell powerlessly. "Jiang Ming" hid in a corner of the ruins, concealing his figure with special means.

Jiang Ming's eyes quickly caught sight of a Firefly-IV type cavalryman standing on the mountain of stinging insect corpses. She was simply standing on the mountain of stinging insect corpses, casually waving her fists and the cannons in her hands, and she could smash the stinging insects one by one into powder.

However, the number of the Zerg was as numerous as stars, and the Firefly-IV cavalryman was unable to look ahead or behind, and immediately stumbled and fell to the ground due to the attack of a small number of Zerg.

But she was lucky, as the support of the cavalry arrived soon, and the cannons fired from the palms of their hands cleared the insect stings within a three-meter radius.

She looked at the Firefly-IV who had fallen to the ground: "Stand up, the target is ahead, continue to break through."

"Yes!"

The conversation between the two was clearly heard by Jiang Ming. It seemed that the owner of this body was using some investigative means.

At this moment, all the cavalry received the order and rushed towards somewhere wildly. There were hundreds of them. When they encountered the swarm of insects, they tore them apart directly. Even if their comrades beside them were shattered in an instant by the impact, they ignored it and broke through to the so-called target.

Suddenly, all the cavalry stopped and looked upward. A gap appeared in the insect swarm, and at the end of the gap, the queen insect was slowly stepping out.

The size of an ordinary stinging insect compared to the female insect is like an ant compared to a blue whale.

And when the queen insect appeared, countless stinging insects rushed out from behind it, smoke and dust scattered, and insect offspring flew everywhere.

Wherever they passed, they smashed the sturdy iron cavalry mechas to pieces, revealing the silver-haired drivers inside. They were then torn and gnawed by the swarm of insects, with flesh and blood splattering ten feet away. The number of surviving iron cavalry decreased rapidly.

"Who's still alive? Cover me and get close to the queen!"

"Yes!"

The Firefly-IV that Jiang Ming noticed responded immediately.

"Take it."

The cavalry handed the Firefly-IV a device similar to a detonator, and then she shuttled through the dense swarm of insects like a stream of light, and rushed towards the mouthparts of the giant silver stinging insect together with other cavalry.

At the last moment when the Iron Cavalry were devoured by the queen insect, the appearance of the Firefly-IV driver appeared in Jiang Ming's eyes, which obviously prompted him to take further reconnaissance measures.

She closed her eyes and detonated a fire bomb that was powerful enough to destroy a planet - the blinding light exploded from the queen, and at that moment, the entire planet was silent.

She was like a kite that had lost its string. She was flung away by the huge impact force and fell to the ground. Some unforgettable memories flashed before her eyes - beside the water where fireflies were dancing, she left her armor and felt the night breeze and the slight coolness.

She watched the fireflies perched on the back of her hand, flapping their wings. Although they were tiny creatures, they were brighter than stars.

The planet that served as a battlefield was destroyed, and darkness swallowed her up, but did not harm her.

The remnants of the Zerg and broken armor turned into dust and fell on the stars, fluttering down like a silent snowfall in the universe.

Act 2: The dream ends here.

Obviously, this is an observational dream. Jiang Ming does not need to do anything to pass this scene of the dream.

But Jiang Ming's soul did not return to reality, but continued to explore the third act of the dream.

After waking up from a coma, she found herself in an unfamiliar galaxy. The glowing plankton in the Milky Way were attracted to her and danced around her.

She watched them fly into the distance, but she didn't know where her destination would be.

"Why did you die?"

"Why live?"

Dreams were still too far away for her. She stared at the endless darkness but still could not find the answer.

"Just like that, the Grammer Republic was destroyed, leaving only rumors of the Iron Cavalry Regiment."

The armor was captured by something and she became alert.

"In order to control the most powerful weapon of the Republic, every Iron Knight is a genetically edited baby. They carry a congenital defect and will age and die rapidly at a certain point in their life..."

The footsteps were getting closer, and the woman's voice was becoming clearer: "The fateful ending... is very similar to us, isn't it?"

The door of the spaceship opened, flames danced on her body, and the Molten Knight's armor was about to take shape.

"Who are you?" the girl asked.

The woman in front of him smiled, as if they were old friends who had met again after a long separation: "Do you believe in fate? People who are heading in the same direction will eventually meet somewhere, and now... we meet."

"...?"

The flying sparks had not yet dissipated, and the woman's brows seemed somewhat helpless. She could only look at the darkness behind her.

"She is very alert, so you should tell her."

The silver-haired girl followed the woman's gaze and saw a young man with a jade-like face, skin as white as snow and a calm expression walking out of the darkness.

She saw "Jiang Ming" walking out slowly.

"It's you?"

"Jiang Ming" did not reminisce about the past, but said: "It's me, long time no see. I'm sorry for leaving at that time, because you will be destroyed anyway, and you will be the only one who survives in the end."

"Why......"

"Do you believe in fate?"

"Life?"

"good."

"Jiang Ming" passed by the woman, but his eyes were always on the silver-haired girl.

"Each of us has our own destiny. This is something that is destined in the end. Our meeting is destined. The extinction of Grammer's cavalry is also destined. But we only have destiny, not luck."

"I don't like this kind of fate."

The silver-haired girl said absentmindedly.

"But from the moment you were born, you began to bear the responsibility for your own destiny. Everything is a lie. In other words... we are all slaves to fate."

Feeling the gazes from all around him, "Jiang Ming" shook his head.

"We've strayed off topic. Let's get back to the topic. Now that you know the truth, what are your plans?"

The silver-haired girl shook her head.

"Then get along with them, and she will talk to you."

"Jiang Ming" was of course referring to the woman behind him, and he had already walked in front of the silver-haired girl.

"You shouldn't be saved by me, but when we meet next time, he will come to change your life. When that time comes, let's dream together. I wish we can meet again in the distant future."

The third act of the dream ends here and the fourth act of the dream begins.

The woman standing next to him spoke first.

"Are you going to enter reincarnation again?"

“I’m not the final destination, but I’m almost there.”

"Which cosmic rule will you use to prove your truth this time?"

"Nothing to do with you."

The woman looked up at the Milky Way in the sky, as if talking to herself.

"You are looking for the end in order to see the future?"

"That is the entity's method. It has nothing to do with me."

"You are obviously the current original form."

"That has nothing to do with me."

"......"

After a rare silence, the woman asked again.

"How many lives have you been reincarnated?"

The young man shook his head: "The original body did not leave any information about this."

Then he added: "But the main body will leave behind six inheritances, and I am not responsible for any of them."

"So... you are also insignificant in this life?"

"Not really. Maybe I am dreaming right now."

"..."

"Time is up."

The boy looked away, and the woman asked one last question: "Will it be the [Nothingness] next?"

The young man nodded: "Yes, that is the last step, no...it should be the second to last step. The method of the main body will not be wrong."

The young man rarely looked at the woman: "See you in the distant future."

The dream of Act 4 ends here.

After his soul returned to his body, Jiang Ming had not yet escaped from the huge memory, but he felt that the realm of the rules of the universe was soaring rapidly.

Refining the rules of the universe - the initial stage of enlightenment.
