"Old village chief, have you ever seen an immortal?"
Wang Ce raised his eyebrows, feeling that things were getting a little interesting.
This old village chief is obviously an ordinary person, how come he can meet anything?
"Ahem, although I don't have any special powers, I am very sensitive to what I see around me."
The old village chief looked a little strange when he saw Wang Ce's expression, and said slightly embarrassed.
"The day before yesterday, when I passed by the villa where Yu Shen was worshiped, I vaguely heard him talking about some magical figure, like the Peacock King Ming or something."
"I saw from outside the house that the sacrificer Yu Shen kept kneeling in front of the air and kept shouting about the immortal."
"The most important thing is that there seems to be a golden light looming in his room, as if there are fairy birds stopping there, and it is filled with rays of light."
Seeing that the old village chief's words were getting more and more mysterious, Ge Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly interrupted.
"Old man, could it be that some big shot asked you to say these words?"
"What about Peacock King Ming? Even if he is just an ordinary god, can you be eavesdropped?"
The old village chief looked bitter, but he said sincerely: "I have indeed seen it with my own eyes!"
"After the white mist broke out, the world has indeed become unusual. Maybe gods really exist. Old village chief, please organize people to rest where they are. Let's observe along the cracks to see if there is a way out!"
Wang Ce waved his hand and signaled the village chief to leave. There was no trace of blame on his face.
He was already absolutely certain in his heart that there was definitely something wrong with the old village chief of the border village!
After Wang Ce and the four left, the old village chief, who was originally cautious and sincere, suddenly turned gloomy.
"I was not so tired during my journey to the west during the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West! What kind of era is this? In this information age, how come everyone is so smart?"
After muttering for a while, a wisp of green smoke emerged from the old village chief's eyebrows and disappeared.
I saw the old village chief looking around in confusion. After seeing the survivors who were repairing not far away, he remembered what he was going to do.
Not far away, Wang Ce and four others were walking along the edge of the large crack. At a glance, the crack was really big and there was no end in sight.
Even the narrowest crack is more than ten meters wide.
Moreover, there are strong winds roaring in this crack, and even if a bridge is built, it is likely to be blown off.
"There was something wrong with the old village chief's state just now. He seemed to be controlled by something. It was similar to the puppetry technique that the woman who hanged herself passed to me. Could it be that she was revealing to us the so-called Peacock King?"
Zhou Zhou's mental power is very strong, and she can accurately capture the mental state of the old village chief.
The old village chief was originally very normal, but just when he said that there might be gods in this world, his whole person seemed to have suddenly changed.
Although there is no conclusive evidence, subtle changes in tone can still give clues.
"Just pretend you didn't see it. I have a vague guess that those big shots don't seem to be able to directly interfere with reality, or interfering with reality requires paying a huge price."
"That's why they use various means to express their goals."
After the white mist broke out, everyone experienced many strange events that could not be explained with logic. Their strength was too weak and they were unable to change anything.
"Young man, go back and take a look! There seems to be movement in the cracks!"
Two hundred meters after Wang Ce and the others walked out, the old village chief chased them from behind. The four of them stared at each other at the same time and hurried back.
They were not worried about the safety of the survivors, but felt that what came out of the cracks might be adventures.
As a result, when he rushed back, he found that Bai was very happy.
Because what came out of the cracks were phantoms.
"This is the army. They all jumped from here! There are about thirty people, about the strength of a platoon. Among them, the weakest ones are all mid-level Black Iron."
"This should be the elite rescue team sent by the military base in the north of the city!"
Wang Ce made an inference after seeing the phantom.
These virtual images should be so-called mirages. Because of the special geographical environment, some images can be retained.
"Look, what is that? It's an ancient man who flew with a sword?"
Some survivors pointed to the sky, and a figure flying with its hands on its back and wielding a sword exclaimed.
Its speed was so fast that it almost passed by in a flash, but it shocked everyone.
Immediately afterwards, a giant beast as high as five stories was walking slowly on the ground. Although it was just a shadow, its oppression could still be felt.
These images seem to come from a more distant era, revealed to the world along with the cracks in the earth.
"It seems there is no shortcut here. Old village chief, please have everyone line up and I will take you there!"
Seeing that the cracks were endless and bottomless, Wang Ce also gave up the idea of finding a passage and could only use the most primitive method to deliver.
In fact, he could put these people into the four-legged bronze tripod, then jump over and release these people.
However, after learning that there were powerful people manipulating the world behind the scenes, he became wary.
Youyou's bronze four-legged square tripod should not be exposed, otherwise it might cause trouble.
A minute later, these survivors finally understood what Wang Ce meant by sending them there.
A two-pronged approach, the women and children were teleported over by Youyou, while the young adults were thrown to the other side by Wang Ce like a javelin.
"ah!"
Some people couldn't help but scream when they felt the roar coming from their ears.
On the opposite side of the big crack, Ge Ji grabbed the head of the person flying over like a watermelon, and then used air defense to stabilize it.
Soon, the group crossed the large crack without any danger.
On the other side of the crack, no trace of the road could be seen at all.
The tall buildings seem to grow in the woods, but most of them are buried in the soil.
And the strange thing is that over there, you can feel the strong wind howling in the crack, but when you look at the crack here, it is as calm as water.
"What a weird big crack, old village chief, can you still find Dingshang Community?"
The grass on the ground has almost destroyed the concrete road, and it is basically difficult to distinguish the road.
Even some high-rise buildings are mostly buried in the soil. Not to mention the roads, the buildings are almost gone.
These mutant plants grew so fast that in less than a month, all traces of the city were almost gone.
"I am very familiar with this road. I can find it even with my eyes closed!"
The old village chief is very confident, and it seems that he really travels often.
"Everyone, hurry up. We have to arrive at Dingshang Community before dark and join the army there!"
The army passed by Yanbian Village one day earlier than they did, but Professor Yuan Zhenhua in Dingshang Community was trapped. It may not be possible to rescue him in a day or two.
He must get ahead of the army and rescue Professor Yuan Zhenhua. Even if he fails, he must join forces with the army to rescue him. Otherwise, his parents' plan to immigrate to the elite area may come to nothing.
Two hours later, some children could no longer walk. Even though they had the early life level of Black Iron, they had neglected to exercise on weekdays and had blisters on the soles of their feet.
Everyone's mental state was a bit poor. Along the way, they encountered attacks from many mutant plants and mutant animals.
Five people even died as a result, which was inevitable because the team of two hundred people was indeed a bit bloated.
If the four of Wang Ce were separated, they might be able to avoid casualties, but since the four of them kept within three meters of each other at all times, it was naturally impossible for them to disperse their formations in order to protect these survivors.
The family members of those who survived the accident also complained a little about this, but they didn't say anything on their faces.
Because Wang Ce made it very clear before setting off that he would only provide shelter as much as possible and would not take risks for them.
If it weren't for Wang Ce, they wouldn't even be able to get through that huge crack.
Moreover, they also encountered some late-stage mutant beasts of Black Iron on the road. If Wang Ce and the others had not taken action in time, this team would have suffered heavy casualties.
Even so, after walking for two hours, the entire team showed a weak posture.
"Old village chief, are you sure this is the way to Dingshang Community?"
When you get here, you can't even see any traces of human existence. You can tell from the name of Dingshang Community that it must be a residential community with a large number of buildings.
Wang Ce suspected that if he continued walking in this barren mountain, he might end up in the south of Caiyun.
"Old village chief, don't deliberately lead us astray! I, Mr. Ge, am not as easy to talk to as Brother Ce. If I discover a problem, I won't let it go so easily!"
Ge Ji had always felt that there was something wrong with the old village chief. Even if he was suspected of being possessed by something just now, he could not get rid of his prejudice against him.
"Young man, I've walked this road countless times. Logically speaking, I should have arrived a long time ago! How about we go over this slope and take a look again?"
The old village chief had a bitter look on his face. Just now he swore to Haikou that he could find the way with his eyes closed.
I didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly.
Zhou Zhou, who was next to Wang Ce, looked behind the hillside and frowned.
"Brother Ce, behind this hill is a big lake!"
The old village chief's face changed drastically, and he kept shouting: "It's impossible! It's a two-hour journey, let alone after the white fog broke out, even before the white fog broke out, it's impossible to reach the lake ah!"
