The city four hundred kilometers away surrounded by demonized plants and huge tree roots was probably the city that Siegfried had said he needed to pass through before. However, judging from the ever-expanding map information, the lack of maps and reference objects caused Siegfried to There is a slight problem with the route - if you keep going southwest as he said, the final location you will reach will be slightly away from the location of the Tree of Life.
However, this deviation still has room for correction after Wu Ming's map system is established.
A dazzling light curtain appeared out of thin air on the deserted land. Elizabeth, Zhao Sida, and the earth-colored Wu Ming slowly walked out of the light ball one after another.
The stealth probe set this area as an important exploration area and also left a jump beacon when recording the characteristic coordinates. This saved Wu Ming and others valuable time, and they were able to use the teleportation function in the navigation module of the different world to leap four places in one fell swoop. A distance of more than 100 kilometers, they directly reached the place that would have taken them a day or two to reach due to their physical fitness and the restraint of the mimic creatures.
It's just that it is very difficult to teleport in the abandoned history of virtual time. Wu Ming originally thought that he only needed to know his position and then get the location of the target point to teleport like in the physical universe, but later I was told by the auxiliary device that it was basically impossible to teleport just by obtaining coordinates.
Because if the characteristic coordinates are a specific location that locks into which dimension, which quadrant, or even which event node in the physical universe, it is as solid and reliable as the actual earth. Each characteristic coordinate has a unique and special meaning, and it will only If there is a one-to-one correspondence with the pointed location. Then the characteristic coordinates in virtual time are more like mirages. They do not point to any actual location. They point to illusory locations with ambiguous concepts that may or may not exist. If the transmission is forcibly carried out according to these characteristic coordinates, with the quality assurance of the Lucky Ancient God Office's creations, although it will not be thrown out of the universe into [Chaos], most of the time the transmission will fail and be directly thrown into the physical universe randomly. Going up to a certain point is like a castaway running towards a mirage oasis in the desert and finally plunging into the sand.
That’s why a jump beacon is needed to assist in locking the location of transmission. The jump beacon is an anchor point that fixes the characteristic coordinates in virtual time. Rather than saying that Wu Ming and his party teleported according to the characteristic coordinates in virtual time, it is better to say that Because of the jump beacon, an anchor point that actually exists in virtual time and continuously releases guidance signals, Wu Ming can teleport himself to a location that coincides with the anchor point.
Through this trick, Wu Ming can also teleport to Siegfried at any time by quietly following Siegfried's stealth probe, so he is not worried about Siegfried's life safety at all - as long as he does not die immediately, he will The little dragon man can be rescued through continuous teleportation.
Wu Ming held his head to fight against the waves of nausea. He now felt as if he was tied up and forced to ride a roller coaster more than a dozen times, and then was thrown into a giant drum washing machine in spin-drying mode for half an hour. Likewise, not only does it feel like the world is spinning and the entire field of vision is distorted, but everything you look at is a ghost image of [Taboo·Fourth Existence]. The side effects of teleportation in virtual time are greater than teleportation in the physical universe, even with assistance. The device eliminated most of the effects, and it only caused Wu Ming, who should have vomited rainbows all over the floor, to retching: "rue..."
Elizabeth patted Wu Ming's back with some worry. Her original intention may be to relieve the latter's nausea and vomiting pain, but this silly girl obviously did not control her strength well, and slapped Wu Ming who was caught off guard to the ground with one slap: "Brother You didn't... Wow! Brother, why are you lying on the ground!"
"It's okay, I want to be quiet..."
After crossing a distance of more than 400 kilometers through teleportation, the city marked on the map now stood in the sight of Wu Ming and others.
This is an ancient city. Even if you look at the dilapidated buildings in the city covered by many demonized vegetation and huge roots from a distance, you can still feel the ancient and elegant architectural style. The towers that should have been row upon row have experienced a certain event. After the catastrophe, most of it is now in dilapidated condition, with only half of the leaning tower body covered by demonized plants and the bare base of the tower remaining. The city seems to have experienced some kind of wonderful crustal movement, causing one-third of the main part of the city to be destroyed. Buried underground, the other two-thirds are raised high. All buildings are tilted horizontally because of the raised parts. Huge plant roots and demonized vegetation are entangled with each other, covering the raised parts of the city. Make it a whole. The windless and automatic sea of trees contracts and expands like a beating heart, which looks very strange from a distance.
In the outer desert areas that cannot be covered by demonized plants, from time to time you can see a group of more than a dozen mimic creatures that maintain the appearance of ordinary creatures patrolling the periphery of the city according to a certain established route. These creatures are very abnormal. Wu Ming swore that anyone with a normal worldview would be able to see the abnormalities in these creatures - even if the orangutan and the tiger were walking side by side, maybe they were half-brothers who had lived together since childhood. Maybe, but what the hell does it mean that there are penguins, seals, and sharks that use their tail fins to imitate human bipedal walking on this desert land?
Elizabeth looked at the strange creatures passing by from time to time in the distance, smacked her lips and had a new idea: "Big brother, big brother! These sharks can actually walk on the ground! I think..."
"You're not allowed to go, those are all mimic creatures." Wu Ming grabbed hold of him who was about to pounce out. Seeing that the formation resembled that of a land shark, Elizabeth couldn't help but look at these strange creatures that mimicked and didn't consider the reality at all. Di complained: "Now I am beginning to wonder if the demise of mankind is because they are all a group of blind people. Even a child will feel something is wrong when he sees this scene!"
"It is speculated that after the combat state is lifted, there is the possibility of randomly selecting the shape of a creature to mimic. The mimicking creature does not have intelligence and will not choose a suitable shape to mimic, which led to the current situation." Zhao Sida stared at the city, inorganic The eyes simply observed the situation of the mimicking creature by adjusting the focus: "Report, the mimicking creature will occasionally experience abnormal phenomena during patrol."
Wu Mingmao quickly looked at the patrolling mimic creatures on the sand dunes. After observing for a while, he also discovered the problem that Zhao Sida was referring to - these mimic creatures originally patrolled the deserted land around the city according to their own specific routes. , but from time to time there will be a strange behavior of them deviating from the original patrol track and running wildly in a certain direction. After running for a short time, they will suddenly stop and return to the original patrol track to continue patrolling. Whenever the mimic creatures appear like this When someone behaves like a convulsion, there will be many small loopholes and gaps in the patrol net.
These small loopholes and gaps that would occasionally appear in the patrol network would become fatal flaws in Zhao Sida's hands.
"Conclusion, with the aid of precise calculations and extraordinary power, we can use this phenomenon to bypass the patrol team and sneak into the old-era city."
