Redstone Settlement, Lakeside Island.

Yan Hu, whose body resembled a dried corpse inside the coffin, began to twitch.

Wu Meng seized the opportunity of the collapse of the "New World" order, and with the help of the "Premonition" of the Bodhi statue, transferred his consciousness into Yan Hu's body.

At this time, he was annihilating the other party's remaining consciousness, gradually taking control of this body.

Then he would leave Lakeside Island and go to the human settlements to extract their consciousness and allow his body to recover initially.

A smile slowly appeared on Yan Hu's distorted face, a smile that belonged to Wu Meng.

Just then, his expression froze.

A precision-guided ballistic missile flew in from an unknown source, heading straight for this location.

But Wu Meng was still in the weak stage of just seizing the target and not yet fully gaining control.

His eyes solidified, and the ballistic missile accurately landed on the temple where Yan Hu was.

Boom!

The invisible barrier only held for a second before shattering, and this area was directly razed to the ground.

In different parts of the graylands, several other ballistic missiles were carrying out similar missions.

This was Du Heng's purpose in throwing the "future" back to the graylands in advance:

To let it infiltrate the military base of the Eighth Research Institute, extinguish the last hope of the festering sores, and completely eliminate the hidden dangers.

...

In the dimness of the evening, a convoy of countless vehicles was slowly trekking forward, looking for a suitable place to camp.

These were some of the survivors of "Pangu Biology".

They didn't have much food, fuel, or batteries, and even weapons were not available to everyone.

But several senior and mid-level employees of the Security Department, who were leading the group, told everyone that there were several secret warehouses established by the company not far away, their existence intended for trading with other forces.

Once there, everyone would receive supplies from all aspects, have enough ability to find a suitable place to rebuild a new, small-scale "Pangu Biology", and also discuss joining those forces that were considered friendly.

In short, heaven never seals off all exits.

Gu Hong and Long Dayong sat in one of the cars and couldn't help but stick their heads out of the window and look back.

The mountain range that originally hid the entrance to the underground building seemed like it was in another world, far away in the increasingly dim sky, while the long convoy behind lit up with lamps that were either yellowish or pure white.

It was like the Milky Way in the dark night or a blazing fire dragon.

It was moving forward slowly.

...

Several years later, under the evening twilight.

In a square in one of the medium-sized settlements, many people were surrounding a tall, silver-black robot.

Genava, wearing a black uniform, sat under a statue of a sage from the Old World, telling stories of his experiences to the children, young people, and others who were interested in listening:

"...Thanks to their sacrifice, humanity escaped the captivity of the Ruling Age, and 'Heartless Disease' disappeared.

"Perhaps one day, 'Heartless Disease' will make a comeback, but I believe that at that time, new heroes will step forward one after another..."

The people around were listening attentively, and while they found the story exceptionally wonderful, they were also moved to tears.

Finally, Genava finished speaking, stood up, squeezed out of the crowd, and came to the edge of the square.

A person wearing a "Salvation Army" black uniform came up to Genava and said:

"Captain, it's time for us to leave."

The metal face of Genava showed no expression, only the red light in his eye sockets flickered twice.

He nodded, extended his right hand, pressed it to his left chest, and saluted:

"For all of humanity!"

"For all of humanity!" The "Salvation Army" member returned the same salute.

...

In Chuchun Town, rebuilt a few years ago.

Han Wanghuo stood on the podium, holding a book, and said to the eyes that were eager for knowledge:

"Next, let's recite this text aloud in unison."

The children, whose clothes were old but quite clean, read out in unison with their childish voices:

"When the Great Way prevails, the world is for all. Select the virtuous and able, and cultivate sincerity and harmony.

"Therefore, people not only love their own parents, not only cherish their own children, so that the elderly are provided for, the strong are employed, the young are nurtured, and the widowed, orphaned, lonely, disabled, and sick are all cared for..."
