Saluting the Journey to a New Life (Sci-Fi) 17 and 18

  Saluting the Journey to a New Life (Sci-Fi) 17 and 18 17 After a brief spell of vertigo, I found myself transported to a domain of shimmering lights and shadows. It appeared to be saturated with endless data and electronic signals, constituting an immense network of information. "What is this complex realm?" I wondered aloud, awestruck. "You're looking at the core architecture of the game world's data. Consider it the backbone supporting the entirety of this space," Abraham elucidated. Acknowledging with a nod, I recalled having witnessed a similar construct when Sophie had previously ushered me into the system's core zone. Yet this time, the expanse was far more majestic, almost boundless, conjuring images of star-filled galaxies in my mind. "This is where I pinpointed the origin of the issue," said Abraham, guiding me to the presence of a staggering data waterfall. The cascade of information, resplendent like a galaxy folding upon itself, a

At that instant, from the nape of my neck, there came a faint 'thud' as if a cable had been snapped away. Then, just as quickly, the vision of numbers and codes that filled my view vanished— "What on earth is happening?" I looked around in shock. But then it was as though nothing had happened; Dr. Brian was there before me, his expression etched with worry. "Calm down, Jack. You're just coming to," he said, his voice tinged with reassurance. At that point, a female doctor wearing a red dress entered through the door to the hospital room... Her silhouette was hazy yet strangely familiar — a déjà vu I couldn't shake off. My mind was a whirlwind, struggling to place her. Fixated on the woman in red, my thoughts whirled at breakneck speed. She had to be the same person I had met within the game, so what was she doing here, in t

Displayed on the screen was a massive spherical experimentation chamber, within which countless human beings were afloat! With tubes attached, they were gently adrift, preserved as if specially curated for posterity! "This represents the second aspect of the Fang Yu Initiative—harnessing cryopreservation technology, I've saved the cerebral cortex of two thousand individuals!" My eyes grew wide, fixated on the screen where humans were conserved in such a peculiar manner. They've been housed in these cryo-chambers for years, leaving only their brain tissues, which machines are struggling to maintain. This represents the final beacon of hope for human civilization! "My ambition is to

  Saluting the Journey to a New Life (Sci-Fi) 11 and 12 11 "The records here depict the true history of our world," Sophie began her narration on the screen. I watched in terror—the year 2041 marked the occurrence of a catastrophic super solar flare that unleashed a massive electromagnetic pulse upon Earth's surface, rendering every piece of electronic equipment useless in an instant and sending human civilization into an irreversible decline. "Entire populations, numbering in the billions, withered and vanished in the moment the electromagnetic tempest struck, rendering the world a desolate wasteland," Sophie said, her voice laced with an undertone of sadness. I was completely astounded. The reality was more gruesome than the sum of all sci-fi disaster movies I’d ever seen! Was it even conceivable that our human civilization could collapse entirely in less than a day? "In the end, the few tens of thousands who survived were left with no choice but to seek
