If he just survived, it would be easy to explain. The problem was that Bai Wu had to bring back some intelligence, which meant that he had conducted a relatively in-depth investigation.
Surviving in the red zone for more than ten hours is not a sin but a merit. However, if he is the first recorded person in history to try something new, it is always right to be cautious no matter what.
Bai Wu quickly figured out how to deal with it, and the elevator slowly stopped at the entrance to the fourth floor.
At first glance, Bai Wu discovered that the buildings on the fourth floor were much smaller than he had imagined.
Every building here is exactly the same in style—a dark square cone-shaped building.
The height of the buildings ranges from 30 meters, 60 meters, and 90 meters. Each building covers an area of about 600 square meters.
From a distance, it looks like a row of dark spires standing on a huge and flat square.
It was like seeing lonely lighthouses in the sea in my previous life.
But as the vehicle picked them up and got closer, Bai Wu was able to see the various sophisticated electronic patterns on these black spires.
"It's your first time here. When I first came here, I also felt strange. It was different from what I imagined. I thought it would be very attractive, but it's actually very desolate." Dong Shuyu took out an e-cigarette.
Bai Wu waved his hand to indicate that he didn't want to smoke, but Dong Shuyu rolled his eyes at him, thinking that the cigarette was not for him at all, and continued smoking.
"There are no entertainment buildings here?" Bai Wu naturally shifted his embarrassment.
"Entertainment? The fourth floor is not a place for entertainment. The architectural style here is similar to that of the fifth floor, but the fifth floor is slightly more diverse. These towers have many more functions than you can imagine, but entertainment is not one of them. If you want to have fun, the managers like to go to the third floor."
This is reasonable. Many companies on the third floor are owned by fourth-floor managers. Although the architectural styles of the third and fourth floors are very different, and these square cone-like buildings seem to have a more mysterious sense of technology, no one will forget about leisure and entertainment because of this.
Bai Wu's sight fell on a tall spire—
Each spire contains rich resources that are unimaginable in the lower three layers. Of all the ore mined by the miners, 0.4% is left on the bottom layer, 0.3% is used on the second layer, 19% is used on the third layer, and 122% is stored on the fourth and fifth layers. As for the remaining huge resources, they are on the sixth layer.
The focus of the note is actually energy distribution? In addition to being a place for managers to live and work, the biggest use of these spires is to store energy
Bai Wu felt a little surprised.
This resource allocation can be said to be very strange. The energy allocation in the lower three layers is so scarce, but all kinds of electricity, water and industrial needs are sufficient.
Over the past seven hundred years, the people at the bottom of society have indeed launched resistance, but this resistance, in the final analysis, was only to obtain more resources for survival and make life more like an individual; it was not the kind of resistance that caused the energy at the bottom of society to be exhausted and even the ceiling could not simulate day and night.
Throughout the entire era of the tower, humans on the lower three floors have never lacked any energy.
But now he learned that starting from the fourth level, the population was less than one percent of that at the bottom level, but the amount of mineral resources was hundreds of times that of the bottom level.
What are these huge mineral deposits used for? Are they just piled up, or are they used for research or manufacturing? Or have they already been used
"The fourth floor is much more monotonous than I thought."
"Yes, most managers actually live on the third floor. They come here to do business. These square towers all look the same. The height difference represents the level. There are also level differences between managers. The 30-meter tower is the office area assigned to lower-level managers, the 60-meter tower is the area for middle-level managers, and the 90-meter tower is the office area for candidates for rulers, that is, the upper-level managers."
"It's very complicated, but you won't come here too often, so just remember the location of the legion headquarters. The commander summoned you to the fourth floor so that he could show off."
Bai Wu nodded slightly, and Dong Shuyu was very enthusiastic.
"What's the rank of the leader?"
"The captains of the Guardian Army and the Survey Army are both mid-level managers. Exploration outside the tower and maintaining stability inside the tower are the paths for them to upgrade to senior managers and candidates for rulers."
In this case, it is obvious that the breakthroughs brought about by exploration outside the tower will be higher, but the stability maintenance inside the tower can be compared with it. It can be seen that this stability maintenance is probably not just about maintaining order.
Considering that there is a word "Zhen" in the name of Zhenyu Army... and the fact that the treatment of the Zhenyu Army is generally better than that of the Investigation Army, Bai Wu could roughly guess that the Zhenyu Army's mission of maintaining stability might be to suppress riots.
"arrive."
The vehicle stopped, Dong Shuyu and Bai Wu got out and came to a sixty-meter-high square cone black tower.
"This is all the Survey Corps' headquarters is?"
"But it's enough to handle all Survey Corps matters. If you want to go big, you can go to the branch on the second floor."
Bai Wu thought about it and realized that the place where decisions were made did not need to be too bulky. After all, the fourth floor was much quieter than the third floor.
…
…
Under the guidance of Dong Shuyu, Bai Wu entered the interior of the square pyramid black tower. Each square pyramid black tower has the same appearance and only three specifications. The main difference lies in the building number.
The interior of the black tower seemed very empty. The clean black floor that could reflect people's shadows was six meters away from the white ceiling.
The layout inside the tower is like two commercial buildings integrated together. Bai Wu and Dong Shuyu are on the right side of the square tower.
When he touched the wall, he felt that the material of the tower was like the crystal ore outside the tower that had been polished.
The core technology of the square tower should be inside the wall.
Although it looks like a very simple architectural structure with only black and white colors, Bai Wu's visual feedback tells him that the secrets hidden in these towers may not even be known to the managers themselves.
You are inside these cone-like buildings, but that is just your perception. In fact, you are still outside them. They were never buildings.
Bai Wu had no idea what the information in the note meant. As for the secret of these buildings, he guessed that it should be hidden on the fifth floor.
Due to the mission, he was able to come to the fourth floor, but it was only a glimpse. Bai Wu did not have time to explore the many secrets of the fourth floor.
As for the fifth floor, even among the managers, only a very few have ever been there, so Bai Wu is not thinking about it for the time being.
He still remembered that when he first saw the stone tablet, the notes on the stone tablet were also very strange. The stone tablet was not the exit of the tower, but was used to suppress a monster.
There are so many secrets in the tower, perhaps no fewer than those outside the tower.
"go in."
A pitch-black door with a marble feel appeared in front of Bai Wu.
When Bai Wu was about to knock on the door, the door opened by itself.
Compared with Wujiu's office, the office of Corps Commander Qin Zong does not have as many files, because all the files are stored in a tiny chip in this room.
The entire legion commander's office was just a long table and a row of chairs, which looked like a round table meeting.
There were three people in the room, Bai Wu, Wujiu, and Qin Zong.
Bai Wu nodded to Wu Jiu first, then he looked at Qin Zong:
He has a secret that even the sixth floor is interested in. As the leader of the Survey Corps, he has almost no shortcomings except for being a little ambitious. On the contrary, he has many advantages. After all, not everyone can cultivate a subordinate like the dwarf. Compared with the secrets in his body, you may be more curious about his identity. Like the little face paralysis, his parents are also from the fifth floor. Finally, he doesn't smoke, drink, be gay, perm his hair, gamble, love married women, or love lolita. You can hardly find any bad habits, which is really boring.
Combined with the notes, Bai Wu's first impression of this office, and Qin Zong's attire—
He was sure that this boss had extremely strong self-control, even to the point of being a little twisted.
But from the overall direction, he and Shorty are of the same mind.
Bai Wu felt a little relieved, but he was afraid of encountering a boss who was too outstanding and jealous of the short guy.
The boss's traits and stance determine how much intelligence Bai Wu will provide.
"You must be Bai Wu, right? It is true that heroes emerge from youth. I am the commander of the investigation corps outside the tower, Qin Zong."
Qin Zong motioned Bai Wu to sit down and sat opposite Wujiu.
Bai Wu appreciated this detail very much.
The two of them worked in opposition, and from the perspective of the overall situation, Wujiu Baiwu felt like Qin Zong's left and right arm.
"He's very good at winning people's hearts. It's a pity that he's not a good wife, otherwise he would get along well with the Ming thieves, and maybe even promote friendship between the two armies." Bai Wu commented in his heart.
Qin Zong's expression was very serious:
"I won't beat around the bush. I heard that you got some intelligence in the red zone outside the tower. I want to know what kind of information it was."
Bai Wu nodded, and then began to slowly tell the information he had found out.
He did not hide the information he had obtained. As for how to obtain the information, that was an easy matter to solve.
Because no one has ever been to that area, there is a lot of room for the white fog to play.
He could freely fabricate the number of evildoers, their distribution, and the sources of intelligence. The most important thing was that Qin Zong only cared about the value of the intelligence, not the truth.
Although Wujiu knew it was fake, he chose to play dumb, or rather, to cooperate with the team leader in playing dumb.
Of course, in order to add some authenticity, Bai Wu still revealed some of his own affairs.
Following the recent amnesia, Bai Wu had some problems with his emotional perception.
For the members of the Seventh Team's Vanguard Group, this was not a secret. Bai Wu also knew that this secret would spread sooner or later, so he simply mentioned it directly, and let Qin Zong know it first, which could also avoid some risks.
Qin Zong was very curious about Bai Wu's physique, thinking that he was a natural investigator outside the tower. However, he was soon shocked by the information that Bai Wu brought.
The white area is gradually decreasing, and the areas of other colors are gradually increasing. Outside the tower there is a source of distortion called "The Well". The Well will be active in a gradually shortening cycle, aggravating the distortion of the world. The monsters will become more powerful because of these distortions.
At the same time, there are monsters in the world that are not restricted by regions, and the monsters will temporarily not be restricted by regions during the period when the well is opened.
Each piece of news here is a unique explosion of information, although the information itself is still shrouded in mystery and cannot be verified...
But Qin Zong understood that even if this information about the origin outside the tower was wrong, it still had certain value to the tower.
Bai Wu was not worried that this information would cause trouble. Qin Zong and Wu Jiu both knew how to avoid risks.
Although obtaining intelligence in the red zone or surviving in the red zone is shocking enough, it is not impossible.
The exploration of the red zone ninety years ago, although the joint expedition plan of the two armies ended in a disastrous failure, it does not mean that mankind will give up exploring the red zone.
They just lack a guide, a successful case.
After making arrangements for everything, Qin Zong asked Wujiu and Bai Wu to go back first. He needed to digest the information carefully.
The person responsible for picking up and dropping off the two was still Dong Shuyu, who was holding her breasts and carrying the weight.
Wujiu and Baiwu didn't speak along the way, but Baiwu could clearly feel that the captain was in a good mood.
Although the information I brought back was too macroscopic, the significance of the information might outweigh its value.
Looking at the black square cones receding from sight, Bai Wu thought that next time he came to the fourth floor, he must explore these black towers carefully.
…
…
Bottom layer.
Over the next few days, a number of things happened one after another.
Bai Wu received a batch of material rewards from the management level.
But he was not promoted to the captain of a new team or the leader of a group. He was still under the jurisdiction of Wujiu.
He was also very satisfied with this arrangement.
Another thing is that his companion power directly broke through to the fourth stage and fifth level.
It was only one step away from the fifth level. This huge progress shocked all the pioneer group members.
Even Bai Wu himself felt it was strange, as if it was happening a lot faster than expected.
He didn't expect that after staying in the red zone for more than ten hours, his companion power would be increased by more than one level.
Bai Wu is only one step away from the fifth level, which means he is the top master in the tower.
Not long ago... he was a person who had just left the tower for the first time and did not even have the power of companionship. The fact that he could become an elite player of the Survey Corps in such a short time really shocked the people in the vanguard group.
Wujiu is the calmest one.
The ability improvement coefficient of the red area is higher than that of other areas, especially since Bai Wu’s emotional fluctuations have always been zero, which is another bonus.
Although Bai Wu was surprised by this, he did not feel proud of it because he had seen the strength of the top evil ones and felt the huge gap that could not be overcome by basic values.
But this will indeed be a guarantee for his future investigations into the blue zone.
As for the congratulations from the pioneer group, he still said:
"Isn't this rate of progress standard for the Survey Corps? Could it be that someone can't even reach Rank 4 in a month?"
Lin Wu Rou challenged Wu Jiu on the spot, but was stopped by Wu Jiu.
…
…
Another thing is the turmoil caused by the Survey Corps' return from the Red Zone.
The hot topic of discussion in the second and third floors these days is about investigating the survival of the corps in the red zone. However, Qin Zong did not publish the results of the investigation and defined them as corps secrets that only squad leader-level people can access.
Even so, people were quite excited, and even many nobles on the third floor believed that humans no longer needed to fear monsters.
Only warriors who have actually experienced life outside the tower can understand how ridiculous these ideas are.
But overall, the return of the Survey Corps' 7th Squadron Vanguard from the Red Zone has greatly inspired the people of the Tower - whether they are the Defense Force, the Survey Corps, or ordinary Tower residents.
Bai Wu didn't care about these things. Compared with the revelry of the people in the tower, he cared more about -
What knowledge did Liu Chengzi teach Yan Jiu
