It was February 15th, 8023rd year of the lunar calendar. I guess it's around five to six o'clock in the afternoon.
The sun has set behind the mountains, and half of the sky has turned blood red. The dim mountains are like tired beasts, huddled in the vast and boring wilderness.
The silver-leaf river winding between the dim valleys reflected the relatively bright sky, but instead became brighter, like a river mixed with mercury the color of the blood-colored sky.
Duan Yu was wearing a dirty and ragged camouflage uniform, dragging his meaningless backpack, walking on the same path with stones inlaid in the soil and covered with fallen leaves.
His cell phone had long since run out of battery, and he calculated the date day by day.
He was surprised that he was still alive.
He once fell into a pit and was pierced by many steel spikes. He had been hit by many bullets, rolled down a hillside and suffered comminuted fractures, and was bitten in the anus by a pack of jackals, with his intestines torn out.
What's even more horrifying is that he was dissected like a corpse by the "boss" he firmly followed with a dirty, unsterilized tactical knife, bones were removed, bullets were dug out, and intestines were stuffed back.
There was no anesthesia, no antibiotics, no sutures, not even band-aids. In the end, the cast was made of dry branches with mushrooms growing on them, and the bandages were strips of cloth torn from his camouflage.
The most terrifying thing is that he is still alive and can still walk.
He didn't know that Meng Fei spent the most precious thing in the universe "negative entropy" to repair him time and time again. The negative entropy consumed is estimated to be enough to cause many vicious accidents that kill many people.
For more than a month, even Meng Fei, who has special powers, has had no idea how difficult it has been to survive until now.
Although he didn't have to worry about illness and injury, thirst, hunger and filth, mosquitoes and snakes were everywhere, and there was no comfortable environment that made him close to collapse.
But after walking for a month, he gradually understood what a weird game this was.
The power of some mysterious backdoor has partially isolated Truffle Town, the nuclear power plant and some surrounding environments from the outside world. The isolated area is roughly equivalent to a "Mobius strip".
He has been walking on this "Mobius Strip" for a month. This band is long. If he resolutely goes north, towards the direction of Bei Ming, he will eventually go back to the old path and cycle endlessly.
If he went east-west instead of north-south, he would encounter extremely difficult terrain. Impenetrable dense forests, mountain cliffs, rivers full of rapids, and more.
Even if he overcomes all difficulties and finally breaks through the obstacles like a genius, it has nothing to do with clearing the game. He will find himself inexplicably at another point on a long road he has walked over and over again.
Therefore, he and Duan Yu are the two ants in Mobius' belt. They either follow the good path in an endless loop, or they trudge across the edge only to find themselves in a different place.
There are many jackals, poisonous snakes, insects and ants lurking in the forest. Every time they narrowly escaped death and finally walked back to the same place, they broke down emotionally several times.
Meng Fei has also seen the real way to crack it, but he can't implement it.
This magical twisted space is not completely closed. At a certain height, its sky is still connected to the outside world. Rockets fired from Beiming can land in Truffle Town smoothly.
The Beiming people must have discovered this as well. They are isolated outside the Möbius strip. Therefore, the ground troops were never able to directly enter Truffle Town, so they were forced to use airborne means.
After the airborne troops had a bad start and were completely wiped out, they bombed Truffle Town and airborne again. As a result, the narrow terrain of Truffle Town was really not suitable for the deployment of airborne troops, and the entire army was wiped out again.
It is estimated that the Beiming people outside are at a loss for the time being. They can only continue to look at the world in confusion, or use negotiation to solve the problem?
So Meng Fei guessed that if he could get a flying helicopter, he would definitely be able to escape. Unfortunately this itself is impossible. There is no airport in Truffle Town, and there are no helicopters.
If he had the skills of Luban or the Wright brothers, he might succeed. He can hold the tactical knife in his hand, cut down wood in the forest, and make a wood-burning or wind-powered machine.
airplane?
Or hunt enough jackals to cobble together a hot air balloon made of wood and dead leaves from their hides?
He has considered and tried various methods, but there is no possibility of realizing it.
This is different from the Loop Building in Nori Town and the infinitely nested Nautilus Building. Those game scenes were small and exquisitely designed, and he could solve the problems with more thinking.
And this game is completely violent. It would take him more than ten days to walk around. After walking twice, more than half a month passed. Not to mention how difficult each lap is, is this level too long?
"Do you think that if I die, will I wake up in that hut again?"
Duan Yu said eagerly while walking feebly.
"Do you think this is a different world from scratch?"
Meng Fei thought to himself, if I wake up and see Emilia with silver hair and white clothes, instead of you with a face as square as stinky tofu, what does it matter if I walk ten more laps?
"But if we keep going like this, when will it end? Sooner or later we will starve to death on the road and be eaten by those dogs."
Having said this, the young man couldn't help but cover his aching buttocks.
He once thought he would die from an injury, infection, or illness. But now he had given up hope on both counts. Ever since I met the "boss", my immunity has become extremely strong.
"The last lap."
Meng Fei's endurance was coming to an end.
"If we pass by again this time, we'll go in."
"good!"
The extremely tired Duan Yu's eyes flashed with the last glimmer of light.
The place Meng Fei said "passed by" meant that they had passed by twice and avoided it, and now it was the Truffle Town Nuclear Power Plant that they were about to pass by for the third time.
The intent of the game is clear. At the beginning, Professor Boulanger's message to Meng Fei was to ask him to excavate the coffin. All the difficulties and obstacles in the entire Mobius Belt also told him one thing:
Don’t wander around trying to escape the game, just go and fix the bugs in the “Palace of All Things”!
Meng Fei suffered so much because he didn't want to be led by the game. Now it seems that it is not impossible to break through from the outside, but he cannot bear the hardship.
Going down the mountain along the river, the slope becomes gentle, and finally we enter a quite broad basin where the ground is flat. Although there are fallen leaves everywhere, you can still see that the ground is an old cement floor covered with mottled cracks.
When they raised their heads a little, they could see the huge towering chimneys they saw on the high mountains looking into the horizon, already towering like giants in front of them.
There are neat flower beds on the side of the road, but they are overgrown with weeds, and the metal guardrails on the edges are already rusty. Next to the guardrail stood a sign that was blackened by mold.
On the notice board, in addition to the remnants of the morning paper that had been torn apart, there was a brand new notice posted in the middle, written in black and white, written in Taotie script.
Meng Fei remembered very clearly that he had never seen this piece of paper when he passed by here two times before! Does this trigger a new plot?
"Welcome to the Palace of All Things!
"We are a charity organization established with the support of international parties to provide safe places to live, warm and dry clothing, and sufficient and delicious food to anyone displaced by war.
"Please turn left in the direction of the arrow, approach the factory gate, and pick up a copy of the "Citizenship Code" there. After signing and agreeing, you will become a member of the Palace of All Things.
"bring it on!
"Whether you are a Weiyue person with no livelihood, a Beiming person who has laid down his weapons, or an international person trapped here, no matter your skin color, nationality, belief and position, we will provide you with everything!"
"The Palace of All Things?"
Meng Fei had a mocking look on his face.
Since when did this thing start calling itself a high-end charity organization?
