659 raised his legs and stepped into the exit. The oncoming cold wind turned from howling to violent. At the same time, a warm feeling came from all parts of the body covered by the protective clothing, like a girl's gentle caress. Fitted and comfortable.
"It is indeed a technological creation of the Yu clan. Such a thin and light material can completely isolate the outdoor environment."
The khaki metal door closed silently behind 659, as if it had never been opened.
The situation was almost the same as when we first arrived here. The fierce and violent cold wind was mixed with a large amount of sand and hail, which hit the protective clothing and made bursts of crackling sounds. 659 took a closer look and found that those were originally only the size of rice grains. The hailstones have actually grown to the size of soybeans.
"It seems we have to hurry up..."
With just a few words in his mouth, 659 did not take out the map given by Bai Donggu, but directly chose a direction in the darkness and walked away.
I don’t know if it’s because of the special situation around the entrance, or because the climate should be so bad at this time. The red moon that originally hung in the sky has been covered by thick clouds, and the only light sources on the ground are those that barely penetrate the clouds. of moonlight.
In such a dim environment, 659 could only see things within five steps of him, and further away, he could only see a blur of blackness.
If there were any beings around who wanted to make a sneak attack, they would undoubtedly be at home in such an environment.
"I didn't expect the lighting conditions to be so bad..."
659 behind the mask muttered something in a low voice. In less than half a second, a light green data stream quickly passed through the mirror in front of his right eye, reflecting in his deep eyes.
"Infrared detection has been activated and is adapting to the current illumination."
After a while, the originally transparent lens turned into a faint gray-black color, releasing a faint green light on the side facing 659's eyes, showing the surrounding scenery clearly.
But after seeing the surrounding environment clearly, 659's brows did not relax, but frowned a little more.
"Why is the visibility still so low? Could these foggy things be sand and rocks kicked up by the storm?"
With the help of infrared imaging, the brightness in the 659 viewing angle has indeed been greatly improved, but it can only be seen clearly within twenty steps. Beyond that, it is foggy and it is still difficult to see the details.
Looking back, I saw that the hemispherical fortress marking the entrance to the dungeon had been lost in the mist, and only its outline could be clearly seen.
659 reached out and fished in the air a few times, then spread his palms in front of his face. A "stream" composed of sand and stones flowed out between his fingers. It was quickly blown away by the strong wind and disappeared into the air again. middle.
"It seems that it is really dust raised by sand and stones, not any special creature..."
With a murmur in his mouth, 659 reluctantly put down his worries and turned around and walked in the direction he came from.
The map of the eastern hunting area given by Bai Donggu has already been recorded in the monocle by 659. It can be retrieved and viewed anytime and anywhere, which is very convenient.
But in the current dusty environment, it is not easy to find the right direction.
About ten minutes later, 659 was still walking near the entrance of the dungeon, seemingly measuring something with his footsteps.
"Sure enough, the magnetic pole is still stable, which also explains why the human-faced lizards Da Cai and Xiao Cai can accurately identify the direction of the entrance to the underground city in a sandstorm..."
After a long circle, 659 returned to its original position. During the wandering process just now, he had roughly determined the location of this place.
The magnetic poles were distributed in a certain direction in the darkness according to the instructions given in the monocle.
"Set off!"
659 took a deep breath and was about to take the first step, but suddenly he seemed to think of something and took back his raised foot.
"I have to expose my left arm, otherwise if I encounter any danger, I won't even have the weapons to resist."
He looked at his left hand. Black protective clothing was wrapped on its surface, and the mechanical creation inside was completely invisible.
Although the left arm can still use the ball lightning generating device when wrapped in clothing, and perform a series of strike operations.
But 659 cannot guarantee whether this series of operations will blow the Night Demon protective suit to pieces.
If the Night Demon protective suit loses its thermal insulation function after being blown to pieces, he will most likely die of hypothermia in this cold environment.
After all, according to the day-night change pattern of this timeline, the current time point has just fallen into the night.
The cold and darkness only start soon, but as time goes by, the surrounding climate will become more and more severe.
Without the thermal insulation function of protective clothing, even a boundary breaker like Zhang Heng-659 would have difficulty ensuring survival in the cold.
So for the sake of safety, it is better to expose the left arm in advance.
Anyway, this left arm is a completely mechanical creation, so there is no need to worry about the impact of the cold environment on its function.
With his mind made up, 659 began to fumble around on the Night Demon's protective clothing.
General Bai once told him that the Night Demon protective clothing is highly adaptable and can be customized to the most suitable look according to the wearer's ideas.
The premise is that the Night Demon protective suit has sufficient energy supply.
I saw Zhang Heng-659 holding up his right hand, starting from the left wrist and moving upwards along the forearm, as if rolling up his sleeves.
Wherever the right palm touched, the scales on the protective clothing began to tremble slightly, and soon they were like a colony of ants fleeing, quickly merging into the main body of clothing.
The silver-white metal arm was exposed to the cold wind, and the faint blue light that came out during the period was like a firefly, illuminating the darkness around 659.
"Um... I forgot to consider the light source... It seems that if you do this, you will easily expose yourself in the dark..."
Although the blue shimmer is not strong, it is indeed quite eye-catching in this dark environment.
If 659 remains in this state, it will undoubtedly give those potential ambush targets a target and blatantly tell them - I am here, come and fuck me...
"Let's stand by for now. Anyway, it only takes three seconds to fully start up in standby mode. There shouldn't be any problems..."
As 659's words fell to the ground, a low hum came from the mechanical left arm that was shining with blue light, and the light in the gap gradually became fainter until it completely disappeared.
The figure submerged into the darkness again, and 659, who was well prepared, stepped forward and rushed into the storm.
Thick dark clouds were tightly arranged in the sky. As Zhang Heng-659 continued to advance, the storm around him began to become increasingly fierce. Flying sand and rocks crackled against the mask of the Night Demon protective suit, making a tiny crackling sound. .
Coupled with the surrounding dark environment, it seems that there are only 659 people left on the entire earth, slowly advancing in this endless desolation.
"Although the surrounding storm is getting stronger and stronger, it doesn't seem to pose any obstacle to my progress."
After traveling for a while, 659 was a little surprised
Discovered the nature of the storm.
Logically speaking, walking in a storm that can blow up sand and rocks should be a very difficult task, but 659 did not feel much resistance.
This is not to say that the Night Demon protective clothing has the incredible function of reducing wind resistance when the wearer is traveling.
It's because the surrounding storm is a bit weird.
Although the air flow is very fast, it is also extremely chaotic.
It does not flow in a certain direction, but keeps changing positions.
From the ground to the air, a large amount of sand and stones are carried, and pieces of dust and mist are raised.
It is precisely because of this that small tornadoes as tall as a person will form from time to time around 659, which will last for tens of seconds and then be blown away by stronger winds.
Everything is so chaotic, but if you look closely, there seems to be patterns hidden in it.
"This kind of climate doesn't seem to be formed naturally..."
659's brain kept thinking, his steps did not pause, and he continued to move forward according to the instructions given in the lenses.
After advancing nearly a hundred steps, 659 suddenly noticed that the raging storm around him seemed to be weakening.
With every step you take outside, the number of sand grains swirling in the air decreases.
It's just that hailstones the size of soybeans are still crackling and falling, but they are not flying all over the sky like before, and they are much more disciplined.
"The wind has stopped?"
Feeling the changes in the surrounding environment, 659 curiously lowered his mask.
Unprocessed air poured into the front door. Although the temperature was very low, it no longer had the previous violence.
Looking back, the rolling sand and stone tornado was still raging behind, but it had no effect on 659 at all.
It seems that there is an invisible boundary blocking this place. Inside the boundary is a raging wind, but outside the boundary is another world.
"Storm tower?"
The strange scene made 659 stunned for a moment, and then he thought of a certain technological creation he had seen before.
"Storm Tower, a creation of level 0.9 civilization, can freely change the climate of an area when the energy supply is sufficient."
The light green data stream flashed in front of the lens, confirming the accuracy of 659's memory.
"It's not surprising that there is a storm tower, but why are we using this thing to create storms? Isn't it usually used to regulate the climate and prevent disastrous weather from happening..."
"The Exotic Land Development of Vegetable-Growing Skeletons"
In 659's memory, the storm generating tower is not a rare technological creation, and the technical core of it is not high-end. As long as the problem of energy supply is solved, it is not surprising that it can be manufactured with the technological level of the Red Moon World. things.
But the blame lies with the current weather.
Although the name of the storm tower sounds like some kind of weapon of mass destruction, in fact, this creation is just an artificial creation used to combat disastrous weather.
The storm tower basically stands in the center of a certain area and regulates the climate of the area through its devices.
When disastrous weather is about to occur, the device inside the storm tower can be activated to interfere with the air flow in the surrounding environment, thereby minimizing the damage of the disaster.
But right now it's quiet and peaceful outside, but it's stormy inside.
Obviously, the storm tower standing at the entrance of the underground city was not used to prevent the occurrence of disaster weather. On the contrary, it further promoted the formation of storms, causing layers of sandstorms to set off around the entrance...
