Star Railway: Building a Foundation from the Beginning

"So, this story is either from a parallel universe, or from before the Administrator ascended to the Supreme Divinity. "

"The big fade? This setting is quite interesting, but I can't think of it, the only thing left in this world is the principle of black, white and gray. Even if there is only one black hole left in this universe, the color will not disappear. "

"It is estimated that it is another end of the world, alas, the end of the world, alas, the Foundation. "

"It's the end of the world, so it's not surprising, in the story that the Foundation has restarted I don't know how many times, the end of the world has become unremarkable. "

"Maybe in the future, we can divide the end of the world into different types, some are the end of the world that dies quickly, like the slow waiting for death type in the story. "

"However, the number of humans at this time is only a billion...... What kind of catastrophe is this? Just losing color doesn't make humans die so much? "

In this case, the Great Fade should be a secondary disaster brought about by some kind of apocalypse, not the essence of the apocalypse. "

......

Christina didn't rest for long.

- The shorter Tommy is missing, the more likely he is to survive.

So, she set out on the journey again.

After walking for I don't know how long, Christina's footsteps suddenly stopped.

The ground in front of us was completely frozen, with no trace of snow in the slight, and the ice glowed with a striking blue.

There was a mist in the air, and in the mist, there seemed to be traces of coniferous forests on both sides of the earth, but their torsos had long since bent, and there was no sign of the gods.

Except for the ice that connects the sky and the sky above, everything is immersed in a gray world.

But for Christina, these colors are enough.

Once again, she saw colors other than gray, white, and black!

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept by, and its whistling was mixed with the sound of birdsong.

Christina looked up in surprise and saw a bird flying out of the snow and towards the ice.

There are animals in the wilderness...... As soon as she had such a thought, the next moment, pupil 07 suddenly dilated.

The bird's left wing was strangely translucent, and this phenomenon quickly spread throughout its body, and then it froze in mid-air.

Then, the sound of glass shattering, first once, twice, and then in one piece, like an avalanche.

Christina saw erratic ripples in mid-air in the ice field, the ground shaking, cracking, and eventually collapsing, and the trees around them began to twist and deform.

Run!

Come on!

She didn't hesitate for a moment, and began to squeeze the limits of her ability at the same time as the mutation appeared.

But the speed of the natural disaster far exceeds the limits of humans, not to mention that her calves are buried in the snow.

Rotten!

Christina felt the emptiness beneath her feet, and she realized that the collapse had spread, followed by a feeling of powerlessness.

In the nick of time, she raised her right arm and aimed at the unaffected permafrost.

With a "bang", the hook shot out, hanging her in mid-air.

Christina was frightened, but fortunately she didn't fall immediately, so there was still salvation and hope.

She tried to turn her head, but there was a towering rock wall in front of her, and no matter how hard she tried to look up, she couldn't see the top of it.

It's bad.

It's hard to go up, and it's hard to go down.

Christina had to think about what to do next.

But, soon, she realized that she didn't have the power to make a choice.

Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound, and Christina looked up in horror, only to see a large black shadow falling from above.

That's boulders and layers of soil that have fallen off from above!

Feeling like she had been wound by a dirt truck, Christina completely lost control of her body.

Unconsciously, she reached out and grabbed it, but couldn't catch anything.

She fell.

......

[It's been a long time since the big fade.] 】

Unlike my parents, I have never experienced that chaotic and confused time. 】

[For me, who was born in the heavy rain, the old century when color still existed in the world was just a distant dream, and like the rainbow in the story, it belonged to some kind of unattainable existence. 】

[When I was a child, my parents used to dig out the old books in the bookcase over and over again, point to the black and white words and pictures, and tell me what the color of everything in the world should be. 】

[They lamented that the world had changed and they could never go back.] 】

[At that time, I had no idea what the "colors" they were talking about were other than black, white and gray. 】

[I just stared out the window in a daze, with a black and white rain curtain in the background that seemed to never stop, immersed in my own world. 】

[Once, the city organized us to watch a movie, which seemed to be filmed before it faded, about a documentary about a man who traveled around the world in half a year. 】

[There were suns, rainbows, and stars inside, and many people in the audience were crying. 】

[I do yearn for that legendary old century. 】

[But since I was born, there has been no so-called sun and stars in the sky, and there are only endless heavy rains. 】

[I'm not calm enough to let go of these beautiful legends, I'm just used to it.] 】

[-There is nothing wrong with my life now, at least I'm still in the city, and I'm much happier than those who are rumored to have died in the Outlands.] 】

[It's very monotonous and life is very sad, but what can I do. Can you escape from here, and where can you escape?]

[In this never-ending rain, a new member of the family, my little brother, was born. 】

[Mom and Dad named him Tommy, a bit of a rotten street name.] 】

[According to them, they don't want anything "special" in their lives anymore, they want their little brother to be an ordinary person and spend an ordinary life. 】

[At that time, I looked at his mouse-like face, as if I saw another self many years ago. 】

......

Tommy!

Christina opened her eyes.

She found herself sitting on the ground with her back to something.

"It's cold...... Here it is......"

I don't know the ceiling as far as I can see.,I was probably rescued by a good Samaritan.。

Christina tried to lift her right arm, which was heavy but not immobile.

She tried to hook her fingers, and it was numb and painful, but at least there were no fractures.

She quickly sorted out her situation-

Bad news: Tommy's whereabouts are unknown, and he doesn't know where he was picked up;

Good news: I'm alive.

At that moment, she heard footsteps, softly, softly, and Christina had built up the image of a girl in her mind.

"Don't move. You've just recovered, be careful of getting hurt again. "

A girl in her mid-20s walked into her field of vision, wearing a HelloKitty hat and a Polaroid around her neck.

Unlike most of the people Christina has ever seen, this strange girl has colors she has never seen before. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

......

For Christina, it was a girl she had never seen before, but for the audience, it was an old acquaintance.

She is designated Containment-105, and her real name is Alice Thompson!

"If only there were survivors, I thought the Foundation was really all GG. "

"105 is still there, so the other reality benders and divinities should be too, right?

"It's hard to say, I've never seen this dressed 105 before, it's very girly. "

......

Christina watched silently as the other walked up to her, motionless, until the opposite side spoke a rather heavyweight question:

"Are you from the Foundation?"

Christina didn't react.

Alice is not in a hurry, the two of them are not familiar yet, so they have to be close to each other first.

"Forget, you've encountered space-time fluctuations. "

In Christina's mind, a terrifying image of boulders and dirt falling overhead.

"I remember ......"

"The rock came at me, so am I dead?"

"It's still far away. Alice quipped, "If this were the afterlife, it would be too cold, and I'd rather live." "

It's really cold here...... Christina couldn't agree more.

It looked airtight and had a rare indoor light source, but she couldn't feel a trace of temperature, no different from walking in the wilderness.

"Then how did I end up here...... Where is this...... Wait, you saved me, didn't you?"

"Just passing by. I'd like to ask you, why are you wearing a Foundation suit?"

Foundation...... What Foundation?

Christina followed the other's gaze and lowered her head and saw a sign on the left chest of the suit.

The ring with the inward three-arrow pattern, which is indeed the hallmark of the Foundation.

"......" Christina stopped talking, like a tape recorder with a sudden cassette.

yes, why am I wearing a Foundation suit? I'm looking for a reason.

Suddenly, Christina remembered something.

Immediately afterward, a conversation welled up from memory.

"Miss really knows the goods, this protective suit is the goods left by the Foundation back then. Wear this, those guys won't dare to mess with you. "

"......Haven't they disappeared for more than twenty years, how could you ......?"

"Hey, you don't have to worry about this. Otherwise, why don't you put it on and try it first? "

"Those guys have electric batons and Molotov cocktails in their hands, they can't hurt you at all. "

"Listen to me, put on this dress, and when you meet those gangsters, you just say you're from the Foundation. As long as they have a little experience in them, they will never dare to touch you. "

Christina gasped.

I seem to have met someone who really knows the goods.

What is her relationship with the Foundation? Probably not an enemy - if there is a hate, then why didn't she kill herself while she was unconscious......

It's not because you're in good shape, and you're going to use it, right?

In the midst of her thoughts, Christina made up her mind, raised her head, and made eye contact with the mysterious girl half-crouched in front of her.

"Because I'm a Foundation ...... Job...... 873 people. I ......"

It's just that when she opened her mouth to speak, her confidence became less and less, like a deflated balloon, more and more deflated.

She could only hope that the other party had some experience, and when she heard about the Foundation, she would come down with Elixilly.

But the script obviously doesn't go that way.

"The Foundation?"

Alice repeated Christina's words, her eyes of a girl's age were extremely aggressive, and she looked at the latter sideways, like a young girl who was about to be blackened.

"Which Foundation?" Alice asked with a strange look and a wicked grin.

“......"

Christina's heart was even more uneasy.

"It's okay to fool the wandering gangsters out there with these few words, but don't fool the real Foundation members. "

Alice stood up and stamped her numb foot.

Since the demise of the Foundation, everyone has dared to call themselves members of the Foundation.

“...... What?!"

Christina was shocked.

Is she a member of the Foundation?

But hasn't the Foundation long since all vanished?

Could it be that she really has something to do with the Foundation?

Ignoring Christina, whose brain was so overloaded that it shut down, Alice stepped aside and picked up a notebook from a dilapidated cabinet.

"I peeked at your diary, I hope you don't mind. "

"I thought you were really a member of the Foundation, and I was thinking if I could get some information from you-"

Christina: "...... No, it doesn't matter. "

Just look at it, you won't be short of meat anyway - not to mention, serious people who write diaries.

"Beautifully written. Alice carefully flipped through the somewhat wrinkled notebook and saw a few words of interest.

[The days passed like this, the tired black and white sky, the towering chimneys, the rain that never stopped—the poet called it the tears of the end of the era. 】

"The black and white sky, the towering chimneys, the rain that never stops...... It is indeed what it used to be. "

"Thank you. Christina was finally relieved, and she turned to look at the stranger who had saved her.

"Well, I don't know your name yet. I'm Christina Springfield and I'm from New York. "

"Ha, new York. Alice smiled and said, "I envy you." "

“...... What's wrong?"

"Ah...... My hometown has long ceased to exist. Even if you want to introduce yourself, you can't mention its name. "

"So, what's your name?"

"Alice Thompson. Call me whatever you want. "。
