"Trapped in a time loop?" Wu Chang couldn't help but ask.
He Yun opened the can in his hand and said, "Everyone in the Underground Shelter, like the two people you just saw, our lives are anchored at a certain point in time. Once we die or our lives undergo a drastic change, Life will revert back to that node."
"No matter what happens in between, physical or mental traces will fade together, as if nothing ever happened."
Wu Chang was silent for a moment, not knowing how to respond, and could only say, "It sounds like a different kind of immortality."
"Immortality?" He Yun sneered.
"Here, everything is unchanging. No matter what we do, we can't leave a mark on our lives. Those important moments we vowed to remember forever might leave us with no memory as soon as we wake up."
