Chapter 58: Five Decades
Chapter 58: Five Decades
As the man’s voice grew deeper, a red setting sun appeared on the screen.
The red sun covered half of the sky, and it was a scene that would never be seen on Earth.
When the Dragon Citizens had just transmigrated, they had to face a living hell that no other Earthling had to face.
Even though they knew that humanity eventually managed to stubbornly survive through it, Meng Chao and the students still felt a helpless sort of despair and nervousness for their ancestors who lived half a century ago.
They could not bear to watch the devastating scenes. All of them looked down and gritted their teeth to endure the torment brought to them by their anger.
Then, the voice from beyond the screen rose once more. "No, this isn’t the end of civilization! Instead, it’s the beginning of a new age for Dragon City! Even though the pandemic created countless zombies, the virus also created new antibodies. They unlocked the shackles on our genes, which allowed the humans to be able to directly absorb spirit energy and begin their path to become superhumans!"
Unable to tolerate the suffering anymore, the humans in the screen relied on their supernatural abilities to stand up on the mountains of corpses and seas of blood to begin launching their desperate counterattack
"Look! It’s Battle God Lei Zongchao, the strongest superhuman in Dragon City!"
"There’s also War God Wu Tiedao! He built the Red Dragon Army, and he used the steel army to suppress all the monsters!"
"That’s Yun Feidian, right? He doesn’t have an outstanding appearance, but he’s the richest person in Dragon City. He was the one who reorganized Dragon City’s resource system and restored as well as upgraded the online trading platform. He managed to effectively use the resources and optimized their distribution. His Thundercloud Corporation is one of the strongest factions in Dragon City!"
"There’s Fang Mochun too. He’s the creator of the spirit energy and rune system, the old principal of Dragon City University, and one of the creators of the Supernatural Tower. Aside from creating the cultivation system, he also set up many of the laws dictating how superhumans are supposed to coexist with normal people. He’s known as the pioneer of the superhuman world!"
The students found their idols and cried out in surprise.
Meng Chao stared at the heroes in the pictures. They were the ones who found the dimmest hope during their darkest hour of despair. He felt his blood boil with passion, and the grand ambition of "this is how a man should be" rose in him.
Dragon City still had to face all sorts of dangers in the future.
But no danger could possibly surpass the danger Dragon Citizens faced in the first ten years after transmigrating.
Since the first martyrs had slaughtered their way out of a hell full of despair, why could Meng Chao not do the same when he had Kindling, courage, and his friends fighting with him?
‘Aside from treating Mom’s legs, buying a car for Dad, and letting Jiacao learn how to sing and dance, I still have a lot of things to do." He clenched his fists.
Aside from the illusions of light in the first level of the museum, there were also a lot of documents there.
For example, there were the lawn-mowers and chainsaws the normal citizens used to kill zombies after modifying them.
There were also the X-ray scans, MRI scans, and medical reports of the citizens who were the first to produce antibodies and whose gene shackles were gone first.
There was also Battle God Lei Zongchao’s draft of his force execution method, which he had scribbled on a piece of paper using zombie blood after he gained an epiphany in the midst of corpses and blood.
Along with it was a knife with dozens of chips. It had belonged to War God Wu Tiedao when he was just a low-rank military officer.
All this filled the hearts of Meng Chao and the other students with all sorts of emotions.
They stepped into the second level.
"The second decade since we came to the Other World is known as the Hero Era!"
The deep voice turned into a baritone. It was even more passionate than the voice in the first level. "Even though we had to face new monsters that were ten times more terrifying than the zombies, Dragon Citizens were no longer as confused and weak as they were when they first transmigrated.
"The explosive power from their genes, the rise of martial arts, the rumbling sounds from war machines, and the eternally changing spirit energy technology became the strongest expedition army of Earth’s civilization!"
Several strange looking monsters appeared in the seemingly real pictures.
While fighting endlessly against monsters, the new generation of Dragon Citizens evolved constantly and slowly became fiercer, more persistent, and stronger than the monsters.
There were also all sorts of documents and items placed in this level.
The first flag of the Red Dragon Army when it was just formed was there. It was covered in holes from the poisonous monster fluid, and the red on the flag was darker than originally because of countless soldiers’ blood staining it.
The pioneers of the Superhuman Association and Dragon City Unusual Circumstances Association decided that they wanted to normalize the cultivation system in the nine years
There were more than one hundred of the strongest superhumans’ fingerprints on the flag. Their selfless teachings allowed practically every Dragon Citizen to be able to achieve the miracles created by Olympic champions.
But the highest number of documents were the wills left behind by the suicide squad members.
[We, the Second Steel Factory Squad, swear that we will protect the steel rollers. We will not let a single monster come here and destroy our production! Even if not a single one of us is left, we swear that we will produce good steel for Dragon City!]
The names and bloody fingerprints from dozens of steel workers were on the page.
[If the building persists, we persist, if the building perishes, we perish! All of Golden Riches Property Management Department, kill them! Kill them all! Slaughter all of them!]
There were also dozens of property management workers’ signatures and handprints.
Even though the children today still had to go through bloody fights when the fog descended on them occasionally, it was difficult for them to imagine the era when war raged everywhere and passion burned fiercely among the people.
They could not imagine how their ancestors and forefathers sacrificed their lives to fight fiercely against the monsters at every corner of the ruins of the city to not give even an inch of land to them.
At that time, nearly one thousand soldiers were sent to defend a single broken wall that had no strategic value, which managed to terrify the brutal and stupid monsters. When they smelled the scent of humans, they started whimpering like dogs who had their legs broken, and they ran away with their tails between their legs.
Only Earthlings like those people had the right to survive in the Other World!
"Demon Yan didn’t lie, Earthlings are indeed this planet’s most brutal and strongest existence. We are the only ones who have the right to become the lords of the Other World and even the other planets!" Chu Feixiong waved his hands around and started punching Meng Chao’s shoulder.
"Are you giving me a fistbump and using the chance to take revenge on me because I beat you up black and blue a few days ago when we were sparring?" Meng Chao bared his teeth.
He was also very excited, but he could still keep it together. He strode to the underground third level.
"During the third decade, Dragon City entered its expedition and discovery era. Its martial arts cultivation and spirit technology system became more mature with each passing day, and the fighting power of the Red Dragon Army surpassed every army on Earth.
This time, the background voice switched to a high-pitched voice of a woman.
"Not only did we manage to chase all monsters out of the city, we even sent out expedition forces into the depths of the fog and destroyed hundreds of monster nests. We instilled fear into the monsters with the slaughter we rained on them, and from fighting to defend ourselves, we switched to fighting to make advancements.
"Aside from this, we also discovered ancient ruins deep under Dragon City. From those ruins, we built the Supernatural Tower. All sorts of new martial arts, technologies, runes, viruses, antibodies, monsters, and a brand new world lay in wait before us to be explored and discovered!"
The age of great discovery was also known as the age of expedition. It was the age that youths were most interested in.
Many of the youths in Dragon City dreamed of traveling far and wide to hunt down monsters no matter how far they were.
They also hoped that they could imitate their ancestors in the nearby future and organize an even larger expedition force to completely wipe out the monsters and sweep through the Other World.
"The fourth decade is known as the era of construction. As the threat of monsters was gradually weakened, Dragon City began producing and constructing things like a raging fire.
"The discovery of new materials not only allowed us to build skyscrapers with hundreds of levels, but to also create spaces as great as palaces underground. After the era of construction, Dragon City turned into a true three-dimensional city. The surface area of the city was five times larger than the largest metropolitan areas on Earth.
"The brand new gene farms and biochemical beast breeding bases became enough to provide a sufficient amount of fat and protein for millions of people. The calculation abilities of the new superbrains was a hundred times faster than those of the supercomputers on Earth. Automatic technology and AI became normal in the city, and they provided for all the basic needs, including entertainment and cultivation, of millions of citizens in the narrow space.
"The fifth decade, which is happening right now, is the era of victory. It is the era of glory, and also a brand new era for us to take active action in forging ahead!
"Now that Dragon City reached an age of unprecedented strength, the viruses that raged among us in the past have become controllable golden spoons that can help us evolve. The monsters who roared and howled among us now shudder under humanity’s roars, but our journey has just started. The space and time torrent is getting weaker, and in at most five years, the fog will disappear. Dragon City will fuse completely with the Other World.
"We have inherited the wills of our previous martyrs. Now that the new generation of Dragon Citizens has already grown up, the future is yours! The Other World is bound to be yours as well!"
Meng Chao and students went down all five levels of the Transmigration Museum in one go. They were nervous, but also full of courage and anticipation. They could not get rid of those emotions even if they tried.
At some point in time, they were filled with a sense of duty.
Getting into college and becoming a superhuman would not only change their lives, it would also change their families’ lives, and they could even control the future of Dragon City.
This feeling was especially prominent in Meng Chao.
‘There are plenty of heroes in Dragon City. We have a lot of powerful martial arts and spirit technology. Our civilization shines as brightly as the sun at noon. There’s no reason for us to lose to the civilizations of the Other World.
‘I believe that Dragon City’s fall was a series of small mistakes in my previous life. Those mistakes piled up, however, and they could not be resolved overnight.
‘I have to correct all those mistakes in this life and take care of all my regrets. I’ll choose the best path, and we’ll definitely be able to achieve victory!’
As he thought about it, he stepped into the sixth underground level with the other students.
This place was as huge as several football fields, and it was an underground field that had a grand presence.
There were twenty-to-thirty high school students from the region who had gathered there.
Each school formed a square with different flags flying among them. They looked like armies who were about to fight against each other.
There were only around thirty slots offered to normal high schools in the second test.
They had few people, and they did not appear imposing. They were basically suppressed to the point that they felt as if they did not exist.
Regional key high schools like Ninth High School had one hundred and fifty slots. It was a pretty good number, and that number was enough for them to protect themselves.
There were three city-level key high schools in the region. Each of them had two hundred to three hundred slots. All of them were arrogant, and they glared at everyone with hostility.
However, the one with the greatest number was the district-level key high school.
Before the transmigration, Dragon City had three district-level key high schools—Dragon City Great High School, Dragon City Second Great High School, and Dragon City Construction High School.
After the transmigration and a half a century’s worth of development, the First High School, Second High School, and Construction High School still lived up to their names as the lords of high schools.
Dragon City Construction High School was in Tiger Forest Region and had six hundred slots for the second test. The three city-level key high schools and Ninth High School had to add their numbers together before they could even hope to stand up against them.
The students from Construction High School all wore ironed black uniforms. Their combat boots were polished until they shone to the point that they could reflect their indifferent and arrogant faces.
Their awe-inspiring presences could be seen even from the way they looked.
