Quitting Killing provides tourists with a reference for failure. Unfortunately, no one knows why he failed. People can only know the consequences of failure.
Within three hours, the Silent Pagoda transformed into a giant whose entire body was covered with layers of brain folds. The fragments of knowledge it continuously split changed from blue to black, and finally to scarlet. For the sake of what may exist here Most of the people who came for the "superpower future" were surrounded by these fragments of knowledge, corrupted, and turned into the infamous "Metabolism Man". Only a few lucky ones were able to escape.
This news was obtained by Lu Ning later from the stronghold he established. It came from the version spread among the wanderers. Of course, in fact it's almost the same. In the end, the abnormal group's last resort was not used, because several other groups of abnormal groups noticed the strong smell of decay and came to support, and joined forces to cut off the feet of the knowledge giant, blocking its ability to move. However, this was the best effort the Abnormal Group could make. The Knowledge Giant could not be killed at all. In the end, they could only designate a twenty-mile radius as a restricted area, allowing the Rangers to go to various bases and small strongholds to promote it. The knowledge fragments are easy to kill and pose no threat as long as they are careful. The only ones that cause a lot of problems are the "Metabolites", which are the mutated people that Lu Ning saw. They walk in the wilderness and attack humans day and night, piercing the human brain through the tubes in their mouths and extracting something. Although there will be no death on the spot, the person will immediately become a fool, and will not even know how to excrete except eating and sleeping, and will weaken and die within a few days.
The stronghold has also seen signs of metabolites wandering nearby. These new monsters are more difficult to deal with than the previous E-type monsters, and they have formed a new type. Fortunately, there are enough supplies in the stronghold. After they were discovered, they were closed for several days. , was not attacked.
Lu Ning is still very satisfied with the people she has found. The only thing she needs to survive is survival.
"So, is there any information about the real believers?"
"I heard that some wanderers are being solicited. Those believers will provide superpower enhancements and exclusive weapons, claiming that they will find a new way out of the ignorant world. Generally, we dare not contact people with this tendency. Yes, after all, we are just a small stronghold."
The leader didn't have much information to tell, and the believers only left a lot of rumors, but in fact the whereabouts of the main characters were nowhere to be seen. Even if Lu Ning used Blue Judgment to search, he could only mark one of the countless believers. Everyone in this group of people held the same belief, and it would not take that long to find them all.
She returned to her room and thought about how best to find the ignorant believers organization. She can now naturally eliminate an organization through the Blue Trial, but doing so is only the minimum requirement for the distribution center mission, and she doesn't want to just do the minimum.
In the previous mission of the third stage, a progress prompt appeared in the retrieval part of the Type A virus directory. Judging from the progress, this is not a personal mission but a mission for the entire visitor. About one-third of the way has been completed, but it is a pity that it is not displayed. accurate value. Lu Ning thought for a while and took out the blank reward notice from his pocket.
She was extremely sure that this was her own mental image.
However, the experience of quitting killing reminded Lu Ning not to touch this thing easily. This is not like the different selves that were separated from the dislocated Rubik's Cube before. If we use a term that is more consistent with the distribution center, this is a soul challenge. If it fails, some kind of soul pollution will immediately break the rules.
But on the other hand, if we want to separate from the stage, we may have to start from this aspect. Meng Juan is right to say that tourists are the builders of this world. The changes in the world are a chaotic world formed by the integration of the past of each tourist. Because of this, tourists enjoy various privileges in this world, because They are creator-like beings themselves.
So... what would be the reason for failure? Tourists haven’t found their true selves? Or has it been corrupted by his own mental image?
wrong. Lu Ning tapped her forehead. Many of the things she learned now came from what other tourists said, rather than what she knew through her own investigation. What can really be used as a basis for judgment should be the most intuitive feeling I had with the crystal before.
She took the pen and paper.
First of all, there are the tourists in the scene. According to what Lu Ning has seen so far, she, Tang Ling, Meng Juan, Li Xilou, Zhao Xihua, Zhao Chenshuang, Ji Sha, as well as the woman seen under the tower and the people with Zhao Xihua . These people all had obvious characteristics of tourists. There were nine in total, and there were ten in the Type A virus catalog, so there was probably another tourist she hadn't noticed.
Ten tourists and ten type A virus individuals, simple connecting questions.
There is no doubt about his relationship with the blank bounty order. Ji Sha has also claimed the Silent Pagoda, so the remaining eight...
"The first one is a semi-crystalline pillar with a pure gem-like posture. It is a group of monsters that eventually form a certain social order. Excluding the tourist I don't know yet... it should be Zhao Xihua, which corresponds to her nature of 'Kingdom' .”
Lu Ning drew a circle at the bottom of the paper.
"The second one, the asymmetric mirror, was taken away from Michael by Zhao Xihua. It does not exist in a material state. From an expressive point of view, it is similar to Li Xilou's ability, and it is probably related to him. Beginning to break away from the state of the material world, what should be formed is the 'foundation'.
"The third one... is not sure yet, and I still don't know anything about the last virus directory. So skip this one, it's me and the blank bounty order. Although I haven't used it before, Liao Hongli can almost use the bounty order to deal with me. Does the immediate emergence of means of restraint corresponding to my ability represent a 'victory'?
Lu Ning pinched her temples and looked upward.
"But all of this is based on this inference. What if these are just a hypothesis? Although I was finally attracted by 'victory' among the semi-crystal pillars, is this a coincidence? Or is everything such a fate? ? Tip? Or..."
"Lu Ning!"
Suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door, interrupting Lu Ning's thinking. Lu Ning folded the paper and stuffed it into her pocket, stood up and opened the door.
It was a young man in charge of security at the stronghold, and he looked a little anxious.
"What's wrong?"
"Our observation post reported that there is a dark thing coming this way from the southeast. Everyone should hide underground immediately and block all entrances and exits. The leader asked me to come and tell you!"
"I know, thank you, go and do your work."
After Lu Ning sent away the young man, she returned to the ground before the entrance and exit were blocked.
A completely dark place? She found a tall building and climbed up, looked to the southeast, and was slightly stunned. It was really dark - a whole dark forest.
After the end of the world, people have indeed seen many animals being transformed into monsters, but plants have never found signs of being transformed. Biologists believe that the plant's genes may not be suitable for viral infection. However, now Lu Ning saw a stretch of forest moving towards here at a not too fast speed.
As the forest got closer, she noticed a faint light in the middle of the forest.
For a moment, she remembered the record of [Sun-Sun-Sun] in the Type A virus. Researchers all believed that the light ball and the stone statues that appeared around it were the main body of the Type A virus. However, they did not expect that the forest in the film had become Found the vector of this type A virus!
The only question is, why doesn't this thing just stay where it is and instead starts moving on such a large scale?
Lu Ning jumped down from the building and turned into lightning and rushed towards the forest.
This forest is really completely dark.
From the trunk, to the leaves, to the roots pulled out for movement, everything is black. When it moves, it only makes the rustling sound of leaves and branches rubbing against each other. This kind of sound in the silence can only Let silence be highlighted even more. Lu Ning landed next to the woods and did not see any aggression from the trees, and the bright ball of light inside could not be seen from the outside.
Where is it going?
Wherever the forest passes, there are only cracks left after the ground has been scraped. Some fertile soil has been robbed of a large amount of water and soil, but it is only the surface layer. The forest did not cause any damage. It only stepped on those stones and abandoned vehicles that could not absorb nutrients.
Lu Ning took out a simple Molotov cocktail, lit it and threw it into the forest from above.
The fire flashed in it, and the fuel inside couldn't even be burned. It seemed that it was useless to try to harm it by ordinary means. Lu Ning started to follow the forest from here, just to see where it was going to move.
This phenomenon does not only occur in this place.
If the communication is still there, then people will definitely be able to find that, except for the intellectual giant born in Silent Pagoda and the reward order held by Lu Ning, the other Type A virus individuals are moving closer to one of them - the semi-crystal pillar.
Those who held Type A virus individuals discovered this earlier than Lu Ning. At the capital base, the [non-existent hero] who was originally tightly sealed in a box appeared outside the box for the first time, which immediately attracted the attention of the watchers. In Zhao Xihua's motorcade, the killer followed by Yu Sheng also discovered that the Type A virus individual in his hand had left his control and began to move in one direction.
As these virus individuals began to move, the dark clouds and cold that had been lingering above people's heads also quickly dissipated. After only two days of tracking, Lu Ning felt that the surrounding temperature jumped directly from winter to almost spring.
She realized that this change should not be regional, at least covering the country, and may even be happening globally.
"There is……"
As the forest approached the target, Lu Ning also recognized the place where he had been. The brilliance of the semi-crystalline pillars reflected in the sunlight is visible even during the day. Many days later, Lu Ning discovered that a building had appeared nearby.
The style of the building is completely different from the architectural style of the earth. It uses a large number of spirals, triangles, pentagrams and arc-shaped pendulum-like decorations, all of which present a structure that is thick up and down and thin in the middle like an hourglass. Each building There will be more than a dozen chains hanging from the top, and the height of the buildings is generally more than thirty meters.
Lu Ning couldn't even tell whether these were buildings or totems.
The black forest climbed into a group of buildings. The branches clung to the surrounding buildings. The roots of the trees were connected with chains below. The beards penetrated deeply into the holes in the middle of the buildings and soon became entrenched in the buildings. He stopped and finally stopped moving. At this time, Lu Ning finally saw the stone statues described in the records. They stand at the bottom of the building, gazing towards the central building. A bright light lit up in the central building. It was like a lantern, containing the body of the Type A virus.
Is it the only one? Or...will there be more?
The radiance emitted by the distant pillar echoed the black forest. Lu Ning slowly felt the familiar disgust she had felt at the semi-crystal pillar before. It was the natural rejection of a corrupt self. Of course, she knew these two What we represent is not ourselves, but the tourists.
Must leave.
At the same time, the remaining Type A virus individuals also approached this arranged area, and their unobtrusive movements along the way also attracted many curious people to follow them. After all, there were only a few people who escaped from the Silent Pagoda before, and most people still didn’t understand the dangers of these Type A virus individuals.
Just after noon, someone began to try to use artillery to bombard one of the building complexes. The Type A virus individuals that were supposed to be stationed there had not yet arrived. They planned to test it just because they saw those weird buildings. The result was as expected. The E-type monsters hidden in the building swarmed out and tore all those people into pieces in just fifteen minutes.
The second type A virus individual in place is "I will be grateful for this world". It is a large metal ball with a diameter of about three meters. It has a hatch, but is in a sealed state. It moves in an unhurried manner. Scroll to the complex of buildings prepared for it. Behind the metal ball, a group of robots of different sizes followed with clumsy steps. Lu Ning could see that these robots were similar to the ones around Meng Juan and Tang Ling before, and they smelled of old flesh and blood.
The metal sphere was embedded directly above the hourglass, and then opened its hatch. Lu Ning jumped up and took a look. There was a very comfortable-looking seat inside, and around the seat were dozens of tools such as drills, files, saws, and needles stained with blood and rust.
