Cao Fang's tone, like an order, gave Shen Yun freedom, but freedom was only limited to what had to be controlled by him.

Shen Yun knew that this was due to his soldier's desire to control, but not only did he lose his previous disgust, but he also naturally felt safe and dependent. This feeling that she had never felt before, it was so strange that she was secretly frightened, and she realized that she was beginning to feel a little inseparable from the person in front of her.

Cao Fang was temporarily separated from Shen Yun, and the two took two capsule trams and went in two different directions.

New York's underground city of glory is no less prosperous than the international metropolis that was once located on the ground. Not only that, but because of the widening of the roads and the brilliance of the buildings from the inside out, there are many fantastical tones that transcend reality in the bustling.

Shen Yun's capsule tram stopped at a stop called "Robert Street", which sounded very familiar, and she got off here.

There are a lot of shops on Robert Street, but it's still early, so most of them are not open, except for the 24-hour e-commerce mall, and only a small café with a nostalgic theme is open on the corner.

It was the place where Shen Yun wanted to stay, so he pushed open the door of the store and walked in.

A string of purple wind chimes hangs on the glass door, making a pleasant "jingle bell" to remind the people inside that there are guests coming.

There was only one clerk in the shop, a little girl who looked to be twenty years old, with curly blonde hair coiled on top of her head, and beautiful blue eyes that shone with enthusiasm.

"Welcome!" Early in the morning, customers arrived, and the girl greeted her happily.

Shen Yun sat down and looked at the coffee list. On the colorful menu, there are everything from cappuccino, latte, mocha, etc., and I can't help but feel interesting. She knows that in fact, even these coffees have a collective name, which is called Force, and the coffee beans grown in the Light Continent cannot be ground without Force, and they cannot be ground at all without the Force-Energy Element production method.

She ordered a cup of Nanshan coffee without milk, wanting to refresh her mind with a strong bitter taste. Who knew that after taking a sip and trying it, he still couldn't get rid of the usual taste of Li Nengsu, and frowned unconsciously.

Seeing that the guests were not satisfied, Goldilocks quickly explained apologetically, saying that it was indeed impossible to drink the fragrant "soft" coffee on the ground now, but they would try to research new varieties to improve the authenticity of the taste of the Liensu coffee.

Shen Yun smiled, and was about to say that it didn't matter, but the decorative lamp above her head flashed a few times, making people think that it was about to go out.

The girl sighed like Bill, the curator, and complained that the voltage had become more and more unstable over the years, and that even the signboard that was shining through the wall was not as bright as it used to be, and she didn't know what was going on.

Sitting in front of the window, looking at the gradually noisy streets, Shen Yun had a feeling of returning to the world and entering real life again. It turns out that this feeling is very attachmentful, thinking about Qu Zhaohang, who is two or three astronomical units away, his loneliness can be imagined.

Looking at the girl who was the same age as Qu Zhaohang, Shen Yun asked, "If one day, a friend from an alien world chats with you, will you feel scared?" ”

"Scared?" The girl's face glowed with confusion and excitement at the same time, "Why am I afraid?" That would be the most exciting and fun thing that happened to me in my life, and I will definitely be friends with him! ”

"Friend!"

The word "friend" is as beautiful as heaven to Shen Yun, and the corners of her mouth are raised, revealing a rare smile.

The spotlight hanging from the ceiling flickered a few more times, and the girl had to go to other things, leaving Shen Yun alone to taste the cup of power called coffee.

From entering the Military Museum, to seeing Qu Zhaodi's body, then talking to Qu Zhaohang, and then to the end of the call, she sat in the sad freezer for several hours, during which the pictures were played back in Shen Yun's mind, and the replay speed was so intense that her mood now was far more turbulent than when she saw Qu Zhaodi.

"My brain, the same structure as the universe, the universe is just a child, I am his mother...... There is also the Ark, the King Continent, and the childish words that Yunivi said were confirmed by Qu Zhaodi, and they are all true, and in a hundred years, the earth will be in a desperate situation of destruction like the dark star......"

What a funny statement, it is as absurd as the dream I had before I woke up from a coma. But Shen Yun's hand holding the coffee cup shook suddenly, and the black liquid in the cup spilled out, and a black flower bloomed on the paper towel, which looked so depressing.

One hundred years! Is the earth really a hundred years away from the day of its destruction?

She thought back to her dream again, that the child who claimed to be Univey, and insisted on calling her mother, was protecting her from any cosmic forces, because she was the chosen Ark Starter. But will the end of the earth come in a hundred years, or is it just around the corner?

There is also the electronic virus that the proton people cast when they fled from the earth, which Qu Zhaodi didn't mention, but is it true?

Shen Yun has been to the computer control center on the Light Continent, where the First Regiment of the Chinese Space Force is located, several times, although the scale is not small, compared to the places he has been to in his dreams, he does not have the grandeur and shocking and fabulous momentum at all.

According to the engineers in the center, the layout of the central control room in the rest of the underground world is similar to here, and the computer center that looks nothing special controls the formation and utilization of all solid-state light in its jurisdiction, and if the system fails, it is possible to destroy the absolute zero environment, and the most serious consequence is that the light continent disappears, and the mainland residents are exposed to the harsh crust and upper mantle geological environment, and soon a large number of people die.

This kind of assumption is creepy to think about, but one of the engineers said in a mocking tone: "With our current scientific level, it will never be a problem to maintain the long-term peace and stability of the Guangguang Continent for 500 years!" These computers appear to be machines, at least a hundred times longer than terrestrial computer equipment. We maintain it every five years according to the regulations of our superiors, and that is only for insurance purposes. Even if a magnitude 9 earthquake underground, they won't go wrong! ”

The engineer's bold words patting his chest were reassuring at the time, but now that he thinks about it, it makes Shen Yun tremble. Did the same scene appear on the Titanic more than a hundred years ago? In the end, the luxurious giant ship that even God could not sink caused the most tragic shipwreck in human history. The Titanic sank, and only 1,500 people were killed, and if the Light Continent sank, it was all mankind who suffered!

Shen Yun leaned weakly on the round coffee table, blaming himself for combing through all the places in the Light Continent after waking up, thinking that there was no scene in the dream, but he missed the place that held the lifeblood of the entire Light Continent - Yunhe Shenwei!
