◈ 227. End (1)

All the ice in the Arctic has melted.

Although the polar ice caps were barely holding on, eventually, due to global warming, all the ice in the Arctic melted.

Of course, since the Arctic sea ice floats on the ocean, it cannot be said that it is completely free from sea level rise, but it did not have a significant impact.

Sea level rise was a problem due to the huge amount of ice in Antarctica floating above the continent.

But just as the ice in the North Pole has completely melted, the ice sheets in the South Pole are not safe either.

Compared to hundreds of years ago, the huge ice sheets of Antarctica have thinned considerably, exposing the land and covering it with green waves.

Antarctica was also melting rapidly, which meant that at this rate, the ice would disappear completely within a hundred years.

The Earth’s long-lasting ice age is finally coming to an end, and it is entering a tropical season.

Of course, it was assessed that we had already entered the tropical season.

A significant portion of the land that was once land will be submerged under seawater.

The problem is that as this massive ice melts, the damage to marine ecosystems is horrific, to the point of tragedy.

The seawater was almost desalinated to the point where the concentration of seawater changed.

Of course, it wasn’t completely freshwater, but the concentration of seawater was reduced to a level where freshwater fish could adapt to living in the ocean.

And such concentration changes were enough to destroy the ocean’s circulation system.

Most of the Earth’s coastal cities are underwater or beginning to sink.

Billions of people had to move inland, but building the infrastructure to support that number was not easy.

Like the ancient city of Atlantis, which was said to have sunk into the ocean, countless coastal cities were destined to become legends as they sank beneath the sea.

“Haa! Haa! Into the sea.”

Hyunjin explored the underwater city in the lost world.

The ocean covered 70% of the Earth’s surface, and due to sea level rise, it is now in the high 70% range.

Although the possibility of the Earth being completely submerged in water was low, the Earth had a large area of ​​ocean, enough to be called a water planet.

“Did those people exist in the past? Or were they evolved humans?”

Hyunjin saw a human who had adapted to the sea in the ocean of the lost world.

Of course, their appearance was not completely similar to that of humans on Earth.

To withstand the cold temperatures of the ocean, their bodies were much larger than those of humans on land and were covered in fat, giving them quite a bit of flesh.

The hands and legs were human-shaped, but had webbed surfaces between the fingers and toes.

The eyes have a protective membrane to protect the eyeballs, and they glow to enable one to see well even in the dark.

These sea people lived in the cities of Earth.

Of course, it was a city submerged in water.

Even if coastal cities were submerged in water, it was usually only about 1 to 2 meters deep, and at most 3 to 4 meters deep, so buildings over 10 stories high were not completely submerged in the sea.

However, in the Lost Land, there were also high-rise buildings over ten stories high underwater, and the sea people lived in these underwater houses, each with their own unique interior design.

Hyunjin felt an inexplicable sense of eeriness at that sight.

It occurred to me that the end of human evolution might be a complete migration into the sea.

Hyunjin also learned that he could use his powers to migrate these sea people to Earth’s oceans.

Of course, there was no need to do so, but it was a thought-provoking experience to learn that these sea people could restore the ocean ecosystem that was being destroyed.

Sea people are working to restore the marine ecosystem by mass-farming seaweed and raising fish and coral in the ocean.

It was as if it was playing a role as a key species in the marine ecosystem.

And alongside these sea people, they formed a complex society by treating sea otters, sea lions, and seals like pets on land.

“What are you going to do?”

“Even the people on land are anxious because they can’t eat each other, so if we bring in the people of the sea, the chaos will be even more chaotic.”

“I guess so.”

Ruby agreed with Hyunjin’s words.

“First of all, we’re going to be destroyed by a meteor anyway.”

The threat of meteorites approaching from space at any given moment was now becoming unavoidable.

Of course, humans did not yet know about the meteorite approaching Earth.

Finding meteorites years ago, like in the movies, was actually impossible.

Detecting a meteor’s approach was not easy, as if we were unlucky, it could be discovered a week before it collided with Earth.

There was a slight hope that maybe I could stop this meteor with my Cash Up points.

Of course, rather than blocking it, it would have been a success if it had just narrowly avoided it.

Although Hyun-jin had no idea how many points would be needed, she figured that her father, Jin-cheol, had given her the account because he could never collect all those points.

The problem was that Hyunjin had no idea when this meteorite impact would occur.

A meteorite could have come during Hyun-jin’s generation, or it could have come in the generation after Hyun-jin’s generation.

And there was no guarantee that only one such meteorite would arrive.

“Find the Witch’s Book. If you have the Witch’s Book, it might be of some help during the disaster.”

Ruby asked Hyunjin to get the Witch’s Book for her.

I didn’t know where the Witch’s Book was or what effect it had, but it certainly didn’t look like it would be easy to obtain.

And it was hard to be sure whether that would be a way to stop meteors.

So Hyunjin had to collect as many points as possible.

Even if you don’t use those points yourself, they are necessary to save the world.

The problem was that the points coming into him were not at a sufficient level.

“He created the step group to get points.”

After Hyunjin found out about her father, Jincheol, Ruby started talking to him about Jincheol every once in a while.

Most people had forgotten, but Ruby remembered Jincheol.

“You could get extra points by making the world a better place to live.”

It was a world that was gradually falling into ruin.

Even though Jincheol had made some improvements, it was impossible to change the trend.

“And in the past, I brought back to Earth species that had disappeared from the Lost World. Like me.”

“Should we bring the sea people to Earth now?”

“It’s not my place to judge. But if you can help them and solve their problems, it will give you great strength and points.”

Like the people of Cheongya, the sea people that Hyunjin encountered were also in danger.

If we did not help them, it was clear that they would disappear from this lost world.

That’s why Hyunjin is worried.

After much thought, Hyunjin decided to help them.

However, they asked them to settle far from the land, as they were concerned about conflict with humans.

And later he promised them that he would give them new lands.

With the opening of the new map in Hyunjin-do, it was thought that if it was completely completed, it would be possible to make it a new home for the sea people.

Of course, filling up that huge map would take a lot of time and a lot of points.

It might have been a tragedy, but Hyun Jin also needed a huge and powerful support group like Jin Cheol’s Footsteps Group.

Fortunately, the areas of activity of humans on land and humans in the sea did not overlap, so for a while they were unaware of each other’s existence.

But it was only a matter of time before they met each other and eventually became aware of each other.

The people on land must have felt more fear than curiosity about these strange sea people.

If the power of the land humans had been at its peak in the past, they might have tried to exterminate the sea humans.

But we also learned that these sea people could not only be of great help in restoring the marine ecosystem, but could also solve the food shortage problem on land.

The sea people began to cooperate with Hyunwoo’s footsteps group and supplied various seafood and underground resources from the sea to the land.

And he let them know that they could trade and get what they needed.

Although they currently inhabited only a few narrow areas, they might have been able to dominate the entire sea just as humans had dominated the entire land.

Finally, Hyunjin learned about the cause of the Haze Virus.

“So it was a biological weapon created by artificial intelligence AI? And that weapon….”

It turned out that it was one of many biological weapons developed by a particular country for the purpose of winning the war.

Although limited, treatments have been developed and vaccine development has also made considerable progress.

But Hyunjin was able to realize that all of that was meaningless.

Even if the Haze virus were to be stopped, high-performance artificial intelligence AI would create additional biological weapons to wipe out humanity and distribute them throughout the world.

Moreover, it was difficult to completely eliminate the HAZ virus, which had already mutated, even with a vaccine.

Of course, humans have also adapted to this biological weapon and reduced its risk, so human adaptability is enough to surprise even artificial intelligence AI.

And Hyunjin also succeeded in making this artificial intelligence AI change its plan to wipe out humanity.

– I see. Even with my abilities, I cannot prevent the crisis coming from space. The probability is 0.23%. Good. I will stop the plan to exterminate humans as you suggested. – We must help humans. It is difficult for humans alone to completely overcome the crisis coming from space. – Jumong provided objective information to the artificial intelligence AI that was trying to wipe out humans.

As a result of analyzing the information provided in this way, the artificial intelligence AI calculated that the possibility of going down to the decimal point is greater than the possibility of going up to the decimal point with a human.

Of course, even so, the probability of success was only about 1%.

Even so, the odds were such that Hyunjin had joined, so the power of humans alone wouldn’t have been of much help.

“Did you happen to make the cashback?”

-If you are talking about the actualization application you have, it is impossible even with my ability. It must have been created by a much more highly developed AI. No, it must have been created by your abilities as the creators. It is beyond our ability. I thought we surpassed our creators, but it seems that was not the case. -The performance of the AI ​​that we encountered in the lost world was on a level that surpassed Jumong.

That’s why Hyunjin thought that CashUp might have been created by the AI, but it didn’t seem to be the case.

It was an artificial intelligence that modified its plans in the face of a greater threat.

Since the artificial intelligence had the ability to regulate the Earth’s ecosystem, it began to help solve various environmental problems on Earth.
