Travel To Another World: I’m The Only One Left - Chapter 12
Chen Fann was stunned.
He felt his vision turning dark, and his brain was spinning. It was as if the sky had collapsed, and his head was dizzy. His limbs were weak, and he was on the verge of fainting.
He opened his mouth, but his lips were dry and cracked. There was no blood on his lips, and his throat seemed to be hoarse. He could not make any sound.
The flow of time was 20 times faster than normal!
He had been suffering on Earth for a year, and it had only been eighteen days in the other world!
Five years of cultivation in the other equals a hundred years on Earth!
“Hahahahaha…”
“Hehehehe…”
“Hehehehehe…”
He had gone mad, completely mad.
How ridiculous, how ironic.
Even the most powerful genius would need to cultivate for a few more years in the other world before he could return. It meant he would have to wait at least a hundred years before seeing the return of humans and at least a hundred years before he could hope to see Lingling come back!
A hundred years!
Hehehehe.
“System, why did you tell me such a cruel truth?”
“You might as well let me live in a beautiful fantasy, let me slowly grow old in a lonely hope and die”
“Because even if I don’t tell you the truth now, in another ten or twenty years, the Host will find out sooner or later, so I might as well tell the truth to the Host earlier.” The System said.
“At least telling you now will be easier for you to accept than waiting ten or twenty years in hope before telling you the truth.”
“Can I accept it if you tell me now?” Chen Fann smiled sarcastically. “A hundred years, not ten or twenty years, but a hundred years. How do you want me to wait? I will die a hundred years later! “
“Host, you have this system. How can this system let you die?” The system said: “Host, you only need to read books, read 100,000 books as soon as possible, and after you learn something from the “Old Gospel”, you can kill them secretly before the underground trolls revive.”
“The energy replenishment of this System relies on the source crystals of these extraordinary creatures. As long as you kill the Giant Demon and let this System replenish its energy, it can extend your lifespan.”
“Alright.” Chen Fann’s face was expressionless, without any ripples.
He felt as if he had lost the feeling of being shocked. He didn’t even ask any further questions. He didn’t ask what the Origin Crystal was, nor did he ask how the system would extend his life.
He didn’t feel anything.
A hundred years of waiting, this was too much of a blow.
Reading books, right, now I have to read books.
Chen Fann mechanically picked up a book from the library and read it. He mechanically read it, but there was no change in his expression.
From that day onwards, he seemed to have died.
…
Spring went and autumn came. It was cold and hot.
Chen Fann was like a machine, like an undead. He repeated the same thing day after day, year after year.
There was once a philosophical person who said that loneliness was the hardest to endure.
And for Chen Fann who was experiencing loneliness, it seemed to be the same thing.
As long as you get used to it.
As long as he got used to it.
When he looks back, he will find that no matter how difficult the time was, it was only for a moment_ the unpredictable changeability of the world.
Earth was mutating, and the world was changing. Although there was still no one in the world, some changes were still very obvious.
For example, his hair had grown longer, his beard had become more.
For example, the city had become a forest, covered with moss and trees.
For example, there were no animals. The world was becoming more and more desolate. He could not even see a living creature.
In the beginning, he could hunt small animals like pheasants and wild rabbits in the forest. He could also shoot the birds in the sky with a one-shot archery skill.
But in recent years, all the pheasants and wild rabbits in the forest had died. The fish in the river had been extinct. There were no birds in the sky. Even the most troublesome scourge, the rats, had died.
Why did these small animals die?
There were two reasons. One was that the small animals could not withstand the magic corrosion of the Giant Demons, and the second was that the environment was getting worse and worse, and the small animals were unable to adapt to the harsh environment and gradually became extinct.
In the past, spring, summer, autumn, and winter seasons came, but now the weather got increasingly unpredictable. Summer and winter often came in succession. The summer was incomparably hot, and the winter was incomparably cold.
The hot summer sun was like a tropical desert, often lasting two to three months without rain. The sun was like a furnace wanting to roast the piece of land clean. He didn’t have a thermometer and so couldn’t measure the specific temperature, but luckily he had the system. The system told him that when the temperature was the highest, it was already close to 50 degrees.
And every time the hot sun was about to evaporate the river water, the weather would make a 180-degree turn.
From the hot to the cold immediately.
Flying snow, frost, hailstones.
When the cold season arrived, ice and snow immediately covered the land. The entire world seemed to have been buried by ice and snow. The thick snow could stack up to a person’s height, and it was a world of ice and snow. The wind, the snow, and the swords seemed to have entered the Ice Age. The city seemed to have been buried by ice and snow.
Therefore, although there were no humans or living creatures in the world, he could still clearly feel the passage of time and the changes in the world.
Moreover, the changes were especially obvious, making it difficult for him not to feel them.
Although this wasn’t a good thing, Chen Fann no longer felt it.
…
In the mountain city covered in ice and snow, dense goose feathers and snow fell from the sky. Although it was daytime, it didn’t have the warmth of the day at all. The mountain snow was cold and the cold wind was bone-piercing. The trees were frozen into ice sculptures.
Boom!
Suddenly, the ice and snow on the ground trembled.
In the snow, the iron window of a lone building was slowly pushed open. A bearded, unkempt man stuck his head out.
It started again?
The man looked at the slightly trembling ice and snow, expressionless, without any panic, as if he had gotten used to it.
Needless to say, this man was Chen Fann, the only person on Earth.
However, compared to before, Chen Fann had changed a little. Back then, he was a young man. But now, he had become an uncle with white hair and a beard.
After all, he was already thirty years old.
Chen Fann stood by the window wearing a short-sleeved shirt with an expressionless face. He was in very thin clothes as if he was not affected by the cold weather.
It was because his body had more ice and snow tolerance.
Due to the increasingly harsh environment these past years, Chen Fann added three new abilities. They were three endurance abilities.
They were heat resistance, ice and snow resistance, and severe weather resistance.
Heat resistance: The temperature of the heat is the same as room temperature, greatly reducing the impact of heat on the body.
Ice and Snow Resistance: Room temperature, even in ice and snow, greatly reduces the impact of ice and snow on the body.
Bad Weather Resistance: The body’s resistance is greatly improved, and you will not get sick or catch a cold in a harsh environment.
It was all thanks to these three abilities that he was able to withstand it. Otherwise, he would have died in this harsh environment a long time ago.
Recovering from his memories, he looked at the lightly swaying snow and land.
Recently, the number of earthquakes had increased. Was the Giant Demon about to wake up?
Chen Fann stood by the window, letting the cold snow hit him as he thought expressionlessly.
