I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World (Web Novel)-Chapter 1598: The Void

"This place is..."

Jiang Chen vaguely remembered that he stuffed the magnetic confinement device that contained antimatter into the inlet of the planetary furnace, and then activated his interdimensional travel at that very moment.

However, to his surprise, the place he was in at the moment was not the familiar mansion in the Fishbone Base, but a place of pitch darkness.

He didn't know how long the desolate black lasted.

In that darkness, he felt something approach him like a ghost. It moved closer to his ear before it quickly moved along his hair, and then next to him.

"You came?"

"You are?"

"We have met each other before."

Jiang Chen was silent for a long time, then he asked with uncertainty in his tone.

"This is the void?"

"Exactly."

In the emptiness, the invisible ghost that surrounded him whispered.

"Why am I here?" Jiang Chen smiled bitterly, "I remember, I should have successfully traveled back to the apocalypse."

His Adam's apple moved slightly, and after a while, he finally was able to squeeze this sentence out of his throat.

"In other words, am I dead?"

The invisible ghost laughed.

Jiang Chen was certain that it was laughter.

It only surprised him that the laughter was not of mockery, nor was there any contempt from the higher civilization to a lower civilization, but rather, it was mixed with a hint of astonishment.

"The dead can't come here, you can rest assured."

After Jiang Chen heard this, his tense heart was finally at ease.

Sacrifice himself to save the planet?

Stop joking.

He was never a selfless person.

He had worked hard to manage the apocalypse like his back garden since a long time ago. If the modern world was really unable to be saved, he would move with his loved ones to the apocalypse without hesitation and continue to be the ruler of that world.

It was just that, after all, he did like this world a little more, not to mention that there were many things in this world that he couldn't simply just give up. So even till the last moment, he was still doing all he could.

"Remember when you were in City K?"

"You mean...T virus?" Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment before he asked.

He knew that these Remnants of the Void could secretly observe this world, but what puzzled Jiang Chen was that he didn't understand why it mentioned this event from his past.

"Remember that at that time, the Kurofune attempted an assassination against you, and you tried to use your interdimensional travel ability to escape from that dangerous mutant on this side of the world..." The voice was like a ghost that surrounded Jiang Chen, "But you failed."

Jiang Chen's expression changed slightly.

He had already guessed what the ghostly voice was about to say.

That space colonization ship had the ability through a certain way, perhaps a Klein particle wave or something else, to block his ability for a short period of time in exchange for a price.

If it was like this...

There was no reason that they wouldn't do this at the last minute.

Those bugs hoped to get his ability, but if his ability became an obstacle for their invasion of Earth, of course, they did not mind getting rid of this obstacle.

"Do you mean...I didn't make it through successfully?" Jiang Chen's tone was filled with uncertainty and bitterness.

If it was this case, then he was definitely involved in that explosion...

"Is such that."

"But didn't you mean that the dead can't come here?" Jiang Chen seized the glimmer of hope and questioned the invisible ghost.

"That's right."

The expected answer.

But Jiang Chen couldn't understand.

If he was involved in that explosion, it was impossible for him to survive. But now, someone just told him that he did not die and that he was still alive...

"You are really lucky. You have found something by luck that a higher civilization... known as the type III civilization of the Kardashev scale in your comprehension, is using and used it on yourself." The ghost-like voice sighed softly.

"I don't understand what you mean."

"You will understand." The voice began to become ethereal, "Anyone who has been here will understand."

"Wait—"

Jiang Chen was taken aback for a moment, and he was about to ask a few more questions, but the voice walked away from him.

Gradually, tangible matter began to emerge from all around him.

Like a drowning child, he tried to open his eyes, extend his hands forward and grab the object that was floating in the darkness.

However, the moment Jiang Chen tried to do this, the fog that enveloped him seemed to have instantly dispersed.

At this moment, he finally saw clearly what were floating around him.

A power armor, a kinetic skeleton, a PK2000 rifle, Hummingbird drones, piles of crystals... and even a few boxes of canned luncheon meat from an unknown period of time.

"This is... my storage dimension? How the fu*k… did I get in here."

A helpless smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face.

But after he thought about it carefully, it was not completely unreasonable.

The subdimension itself was an existence between two parallel worlds, while the void was a unified and isolated existence independent of all worlds. The black hole created by the detonation of antimatter dragged him into the void in an instant, perhaps because of the shelter of those ghosts, or perhaps because of other reasons, after the miniature black hole dispersed, he was not brutally tossed from the black hole, but broke through the invisible wall and stayed in the void.

At this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly noticed that in his subdimension, there was a light he had never seen before.

It was a cluster of goldenness.

It was like fused gravel, as the goldenness exuded a faint gleam.

"What is this..."

As he muttered out, Jiang Chen reached out and tried to grab the pile of goldenness, but his fingertips easily passed through it. It was like it did not exist in this world, and what remained here was just light and shadow that alternated between virtual and reality.

"Forget it, let's not bother with this, let's first think about how to get out of here."

Although Jiang Chen cared very much about the golden gravel left in his subdimension, there were obviously more important issues that needed to be resolved at the moment.

He just sunk into his consciousness and into this place before. He had never put himself in the subdimension before.

First of all, it is impossible to go back to the modern world, who knows what was going on there now...

In short, let's go back to the apocalypse first. After he passed through the neutrino channel, he reset his coordinates on the modern world onto Coconut Island.

After he confirmed his coordinates, Jiang Chen took a deep breath, as he had done countless times before and silently chanted "travel" in his mind...
