This is a vast, boundless desert.
Or rather, this is a desert that has buried countless cities.
In the distance, the rooftops of some tall buildings can still be seen protruding from the sand.
Beside Ling Yi and his group was a huge ship with half of its hull buried in the sand.
This is one of the large ships in the 2012 movie that carried humanity's last hope.
In fact, it was from this moment that the truly amazing aspects of this movie began to emerge.
At this moment, Ling Yi, Yang Jinli, Chichi, and Wang Lei were gathered together, guided by the Spacetime Overlap Loop Device.
"Why is it all sand? Shouldn't it all be ocean?" Yang Jinli was already sweating profusely in just a short Kung Fu Hustle.
Yang Jinli was only a minor character in both of her time-travel experiences, so she's still just an ordinary person now.
Not to mention Yang Jinli, even Wang Lei and Chichi weren't having a good time.
Their Battle Power is not yet Transcendent.
Chichi glanced at the display screen above the Spacetime Loop Device and said to the Human Dao, "The current time is 2060, not 2124!"
"The doctor said that the more Mirror Person there are, the longer the Overlap Loop time will be. If each of us gains 12 years, then it will add up to exactly 2060 years!"
" Brother Lei, that's not right. If everyone has 12 years, shouldn't it be 2072? Did you forget to include yourself in the calculation?" Yang Jinli asked.
"Starting from 2012, not from 2024!" Chichi explained.
"Oh!" Yang Jinli scratched her head, looking completely bewildered. She was the one among them who was the least clear-headed.
"So, it's just the four of us?" Yang Jinli asked.
"Otherwise what? The other six, some wash dishes, some become internet celebrities, some participate in variety shows, they're not our style at all."
Wang Lei explained that since he had Will, an intelligent life form, he naturally had already found out the current situation of the other six people.
"What? Become an internet celebrity and participate in variety shows? What kind of stunt is this?"
"Those six darlings are all unregistered, just like us, and they're newbies with no experience in time travel. They're playing urban Qiusheng!" Chichi said with extreme disdain.
" Eldest Senior Brother, what do you think of the main quest?" Wang Lei changed the subject, saying, "Why talk about those six trash? They're a disgrace, wasting a transmigration slot."
"Let's first go over the movie's plot!" Ling Yi said after thinking for a moment.
"If this is really a movie, then why doesn't it exist in our world?" Chichi asked.
This problem has been bothering him for a long time.
"Perhaps this movie isn't from our world, but that doesn't matter!"
"No, this is very important!" Wang Lei said.
"If this isn't a movie from our world, it means that the worlds we travel to in the future will very likely be movie worlds like this one, where we have absolutely no idea what the plot is."
Ling Yi shrugged. Of the 2,919 worlds, the movie worlds with unknown plots are indeed larger.
But that's because you guys don't know the plot; I only need to know the facts.
This is why Ling Yi said it wasn't important.
"This is not the time to discuss this!" Ling Yi shook his head.
"Too!"
Wang Lei glanced at Ling Yi, took a deep breath, and said, " The Protagonist of the movie is Dr. Qi Yun, who discovered the existence of Mirror Space-Time and parallel spacetime through Quantum Loop technology."
Neither Chichi nor Ling Yi spoke, listening quietly to Wang Lei's analysis.
But Yang Jinli was already unbearably hot and Momentum Dao, "Wait a minute!"
As he spoke, he threw a motorhome directly from the space of the Infinite Resource Copy System.
"Sorry, I forgot you're still a regular person!" Wang Lei said embarrassedly.
"However, once this world-traveling adventure is over, you should be able to increase your Battle Power by a significant margin."
"That's for later!"
The group got into the RV and turned on the air conditioning system.
Yang Jinli finally breathed a sigh of relief; the outside environment was truly terrible.
The RV is very spacious; it's clearly a high-end model, featuring a kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, a toilet, and a bathroom.
If this car were in the real world, it would cost at least tens of millions to build.
With a wave of her hand, Yang Jinli conjured up a pile of food on the coffee table.
"Then I'll continue!" Wang Lei grabbed a bottle of drink, took a sip, and said.
"Dr. Qi Yun created the first Spacetime Overlap Loop Device and successfully completed the Space-Time Overlap, preventing 2012 and saving his timeline."
Chichi continued, "Later, Dr. Qi Yun discovered that although the Space-Time Overlap saved the world, it could only delay the disaster by 12 years."
Ling Yi and Wang Lei nodded.
Yang Jinli felt as if she were listening to Heavenly Book; she had too many questions in her mind. What was the Space-Time Overlap? What was Mirror Space-Time? Why twelve years, and not thirteen or fourteen?
But she knew that now was not the time to ask questions; even if she got the answers, it probably wouldn't make much of a difference.
I'll just stay out of it and do whatever Brother Lei and the others tell me to do.
"There should also be some plot elements involving the Doomsday Organization interspersed throughout," Wang Lei added.
"According to Dr. Qi Yun, to completely Save the World, we need to overlap a Backward Loop, that is, Mirror Space-Time after the 2012 time point."
"Take this spacetime for example!"
Wang Lei shook his head and said, "If we hadn't been there, and judging from the normal plot progression of the movie, the doctor would most likely have succeeded."
"Although the only Mirror Person was killed in a car accident by the Doomsday Organization, the Doctor will eventually discover the secret of the Space-Time Overlap."
"In other words, even without Mirror Person, one can still reach this Mirror Space-Time by using those objects that Space-Time Overlap."
"It's very likely that the doctor will come in person!" Chichi added.
"Yes, this surname is likely very prestigious."
"However, the ultimate mission is to Destroy the Spacetime Overlap Loop Device, which means that even if the spacetime overlap is successful, the outcome may be even worse."
"Why? The purpose of this main quest might be to stop the Doctor from Save the World?" Yang Jinli suddenly asked.
Chichi and Wang Lei were stunned.
"It seems like it's not impossible; we're just considering the main quest from a benevolent perspective!" Wang Lei said, frowning.
Ling Yi rolled his eyes. Our "system" has a very sound moral compass, okay? You guys are really overthinking it.
" Brother Lei, don't let Yang Jinli lead you astray. I believe the system is legitimate, and the tasks it issues are legitimate too."
As he spoke, Chichi glanced subtly in Ling Yi's direction.
Ling Yi didn't see this subtle movement, but Yang Jinli and Wang Lei did.
Yang Jinli glanced at Chichi, then at Wang Lei, and finally at Ling Yi.
Although she had also joined the Transmigrator Administration, she was unaware of these matters.
To put it bluntly, she didn't get to the core.
The head of the Transmigration Administration is an official, but the core members now are Wang Lei, Leng Feng, Chichi, Ni Xueqin, and Bai Mengyan.
Logically speaking, Bai Mengyan's personality is not suitable for joining the core group.
However, when Bai Mengyan opened the treasure chest in the Lady White Snake World, she chose a weakened version of the Hundredfold Cultivation System, Twofold Cultivation System.
Even the weakened version is extremely valuable.
Using this thing for cultivation can comprehensively improve your strength without any bottlenecks!
Bai Mengyan also managed to infiltrate the core group thanks to this.
Some official experts, along with Wang Lei, Chichi, Ni Xueqin, gave Ling Yi a thorough analysis.
The conclusion drawn is that Ling Yi has a big secret. Although it cannot be confirmed that he is the mastermind, the probability of him being the mastermind is very high.
Wang Lei understood what Chichi meant, so he continued, "Let's continue our analysis at the original pace."
Yang Jinli realized he had just said something pointless, so he simply shut up and became a bum.
"If the situation becomes even worse after Space-Time Overlap, it means that the state of this world is probably more terrifying than we imagine."
Chichi looked out the window at the endless desert and said.
"In 2012, the melting of glaciers in the Arctic, and around the world ultimately led to rising sea levels, but no matter how high the sea levels rise, they cannot completely submerge the land."
"Rising sea levels, abnormal weather, extreme cold, extreme heat, frequent earthquakes and Volcano eruptions—but these disasters shouldn't last long."
"It might end in a year or two, and then things will gradually stabilize. The surviving humans will have ample time and resources to rebuild their homes."
Wang Lei also looked out the window and shook his head, saying, "But the current situation is clearly not like that!"
Yang Jinli really wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to say anything rash, lest she disrupt Wang Lei and the others' rhythm again.
I could only cover my mouth and force myself to swallow the question that was about to come out.
This amused Ling Yi, who then asked the question she wanted to ask, "Why only one or two years?"
You've underestimated the self-healing capabilities of the planet beneath our feet!
Looking at the only patch of white clouds in the sky outside the window, Wang Lei Cloud Dao, "Unless a massive, irreversible, cosmic catastrophe occurs, these disasters are terrifying for us humans."
"But for Blue Star, it's not even a minor cold."
"Can an earthquake last for three to five years? Apart from a very few Volcano, what Volcano can erupt year-round? Extreme cold and extreme heat are just the planet's self-regulating processes; they will eventually stabilize."
"So, if anything more terrifying could happen, it could only come from the universe."
"Like meteorites?"
"No need for examples, it's 100% a meteorite, look at the sky!"
The last remaining white cloud in the sky slowly dissipated.
A nearly Shattering moon was displayed before everyone.
Moreover, the moon is very large, so it looks very close.
Or you could say the other way around: it looks big because it's so close.
They could even see the craters on the moon's surface with the naked eye.
At this moment, only half of the moon remains; the other half...
"It feels like my other half has been smashed to pieces by a hammer." Chichi was dumbfounded.
"There's definitely no hammer that big in the world; it's highly likely to be a meteorite impact."
Wang Lei shook his head and said, "Yeah, it's not a possibility, it's a meteorite."
"Is this the real disaster?" Chichi murmured.
Ling Yi shook his head. "Perhaps this is just one of the disasters."
Just then, a row of black dots appeared in the distance.
Accompanied by billowing dust, it rapidly approached.
This was actually a convoy.
"Looks like the person who's bringing us the answer has arrived," Wang Lei said with a smile.
"It might not be very friendly, but let's prepare anyway!"
Chichi looked at Ling Yi, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Any big toys? I know you've got a lot of good stuff from your American!"
Ling Yi laughed too, "Of course!"
