The appearance of trees with flowers on their trunks and crabapple deer made Wang Qi realize: the distance was too close.
Point 3 in the early plan is about 155 kilometers away from the straight line of the node location in the different world provided by Elena. Before arriving at Yabur City, the regional capital, this point is the second closest to the other world node. The second half of the journey is basically a circle around this radius to reach the capital. There is only one planned point that will be about ten kilometers closer than it is now.
The influence of nodes in other worlds on reality has reached another level entirely. The probability is related to distance, just like the six-point resistance survival line in the original city.
"Do we still want to move forward?" Varya asked as he picked up the towing rope of the cart again.
Wang Qi looked into his eyes, and his pupils were slightly trembling. The impact of the unknown was a little bigger, but his body was not shaking, nor was he particularly tense, so it was not a big problem.
"Take a rest first and leave later."
There is no way to change the route. This city is a must for the north-south route. It has to be more than 100 kilometers away from the east and west sides to have a large town with a population of nearly 10,000. There are even maps for the cities to the east, and Anna can't recall it. The precise location, the west one is closer to the different world node.
After all, this is the polar circle, and there are no cities or population densities as high as those in the temperate zone.
After drinking water and eating some dried meat, Wang Qi connected some clues.
The ghost releases a mysterious impact similar to the demon coming to the sun through its eyes. Both the ghost's corpse and the crabapple deer can transmit that...will?
Including the dead leader of the Rathore Gang and the glowing eyes of some deserters, could this be connected? A window intervened by nodes from another world? Maybe they themselves are something between ghosts and humans.
The first website address is m.x63xS.
What exactly is there in the different world node?
The more I get to know him, the more he realizes that he doesn't seem to be from Mr. Ke's lineage.
Ke Zong, the Cthulhu himself in the Cthulhu mythology system, is a relatively weak existence (weak ship) in this system. In this system, contact with "gods" and related things and objects will lead to a decline in sanity, and the closer it is to the "truth" "The crazier they get, the closer they get to death, and they may become a dependent of a certain god on the way.
Compared with the situation Wang Qi is currently experiencing, the effect of reduced sanity is similar, but "knowledge" will not be gained while the sanity is reduced. In addition, no evidence of related worship of humans and strange creatures has been found.
Snow Lion mentioned the term Ability God Serum, but that thing was the result of scientific research before the disaster, and the story in it is no longer known.
The answers that come together when the clues are put together are still unknown, the existence is unknown, the motivation is unknown, and the purpose is unknown.
...so I want to go and see it even more.
Keep moving after the break.
The closer we get to Planned City No. 4, the more strange objects appear on both sides of the road.
Most of them are plants, trees with flowers growing on their trunks, trees with gurgling clear mucus, and trees that grow into the shape of a human walking. There are also bushes that can be seen with the naked eye that move slowly and look like pheasants.
Especially the moving shrubs were a bit of a cognitive shock. Wang Qi asked Li Xiang and Walia what they saw. The two answers were consistent. It was exactly the same as what he saw. There was no mysterious light or tentacles. It was just Looks like this.
Wang Qi started poking with a stick. The bush pheasant made evasive movements, but it moved too slowly. It took more than ten seconds to react after poking it, and it took nearly a minute to move its neck ten centimeters away.
He poked the chicken legs again and waited for several minutes. The chicken feet left the ground with a pile of roots. The root tips were much more active than the main body, twisting like earthworms looking for a place to stay, not like a plant at all.
It took the bush pheasant about eight minutes to complete such a simple action: lifting its feet, moving its feet, and landing on the ground.
But this does not make people feel safe, but it proves that bush pheasants can really act like animals and even have stress reactions!
"I want to play too!" Li wanted to pull the corner of his clothes, but Wang Qi gave her a wooden stick to poke.
Looking at Varya again, his face, half covered by his beard, was obviously losing color.
"Take a deep breath, there must be something weirder waiting for us ahead."
Varya realized that her emotions were wrong and obeyed.
It's not that he is timid, but that anyone who sees something that breaks common sense will not behave too well, except for heartless children.
Wang Qi's heart was not as calm as he showed, but he did not intend to retreat. The target city cannot be seen here, which means that they have not even reached the 155-kilometer line. There must be more abnormal things waiting for them closer. If even non-offensive "plants" scare them away, this south The road to travel cannot be continued.
Li wanted to play for a while, but the bush pheasant moved too slowly after all, and his interest quickly waned. The three of them continued their journey and found a ruined gas station to stay overnight after dark.
This place is about five to eight kilometers away from the city. Although it is very close, we don’t know what we will face after entering the city. It is better to rest here and leave the city exploration part to the next day.
The ruins of the gas station are better than the previous one, but not much better. The walls and ceiling are partially damaged, and all the glass is gone. Only the main part of the building is still intact.
There was some movement nearby during the night, but no fighting.
While Wang Qi was keeping vigil, he went out for a walk and saw another bush animal. It was in the shape of a deer and was larger than the one he saw during the day.
I don’t know if it’s because of its larger size, but its movements are more flexible, and it can run one meter away in two minutes.
plant?
Use your imagination. Is it possible that it was created by a nearby animal at the end of its lifespan? It may also trigger other changes in conditions, such as a fungal parasitic mechanism similar to Cordyceps, but this time it is replaced by plants?
I don't understand. If you can find a working microscope, maybe you can take a slice and look at it to see if you can find anything.
On the road again the next day, after already seeing the ruins of buildings on the outskirts of the city, I finally saw living animals again.
A big brown bear, a species nicknamed the Siberian hamster. I don’t know if there is a name for Siberia here. Anyway, it is a large brown and furry canine.
The one that appeared in front of the three people was slightly larger than a normal brown bear weighing less than 600 kilograms. It was a little over four meters long. It was fatter and looked cuter. It was visually estimated that it weighed between 2 and 2.5 tons.
There is a flower growing on the head of the fat brown bear, and the cute face looks very animated, but when you consider that the flower is probably growing from the bones, it doesn't feel cute.
I don’t know if it will eventually become something like bush pheasants and bush deer.
The fat brown bear's black eyes, not much bigger than broad beans, looked at the three of them. He showed his canine teeth and growled in a defensive manner.
The three of them were also on guard. Li wanted to see Wang Qi's gesture changed to steel bars.
The weight of the fat brown bear was too great. Wang Qi felt that his strength could not withstand it, but he was not afraid. A heavy object would have to overcome greater inertial force to start and stop. The bear could not be more flexible than himself. , its body structure also does not allow it.
Of course, the premise is that the bear doesn't grow tentacles or anything like that, or the bear has a plug-in to strengthen it.
The two sides were in a stalemate, and Wang Qi still had time to observe its mouth.
The canine teeth are white, not yellow at all, and have regular sunken lines, like handicrafts. The tongue is watery red, quite pink, and there are lines on it, but they are just dark red lines, which seem to be pure craft paintings, not like words.
The fat brown bear moved, raised one front foot and moved forward.
Wang Qi also took a step forward.
It turns out the bear's animal instincts weren't modified and it stopped.
You are a genius, remember in one second: Red Oasis:
