After the long night, there is still a lot for the defenders of the shelter to do.
The death toll will be counted and transported to the East Campus as much as possible. Those who can be saved will be saved, and for those who cannot be saved, a memorial service will be prepared in the next few days.
For seven hundred years, half of Baichuan City, which was protected by rules, has become a complete ruin.
Qian Yixin originally wanted to ask the capitalists in the industrial zone for some money to experience the power of "wages in place, ceilings gone", but a large area of the factory building collapsed and the capitalists were affected and died in the battle.
His money-making ambitions collapsed halfway.
As for the western part of the city and the city center, it seemed as if they had been bombed by countless meteorites.
However, destruction also means rebirth, and with the help of the opening of the well, the forces of the shelter are confident that they can eliminate the distorted rules in each area.
At the same time, the reconstruction of Baichuan City was completed. Now that Baichuan City has the defensive power brought by Zero, the huge protective shield can only be disintegrated from the inside, thus eliminating the possibility of being attacked head-on by a large number of evil spirits.
The shelter in Baichuan City also won a fair victory over the opponent in the recent battle, if we don’t take the T-shaped level into consideration.
Soon, all the forces outside the tower will know that a new force has risen, a force belonging to mankind—the Sanctuary.
Everyone was busy, including Bai Wu.
There are too many people who need recovery and treatment in the East Campus, and there are also many people who need to be accommodated in the dormitory area.
Qin Zong and the others smashed the roulette wheel with the awareness of certain death, which made Bai Wu laugh and cry.
Under the circumstances at that time, we really needed a leader like this to do this kind of thing and give everyone courage.
The hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage. This famous line has a good interpretation of this moment.
Fortunately, there are still many people who can go back, especially the two people from the Xie family and the Yan family, who have the power to call up a large number of return roulettes.
The soldiers of the Survey Corps will eventually have to return to the Tower. The Tower still has many things that need them, including Bai Wu himself. If they stay in Baichuan City, they can only investigate Baichuan City.
The role of the teleportation stele cannot be ignored. Bai Wu knows that in order to solve the puzzle of the well and the tower, he has to go to more strange areas.
The establishment of the shelter is just a framework. Many necessary problems need to be solved. The evil can live well here, but humans... are still lacking in maturity.
In Bai Wu's opinion, it is not yet comparable to the tall tower.
But one day in the future... this place will always surpass the tower, and this city called Baichuan will surely become the most important settlement for mankind.
…
…
Jing Eduo was in an awkward situation now, as Nie Chongshan and Liu Mu had actually been staring at it.
"Look at that man, he looks like a dog." Liu Mu uttered the famous line unknowingly.
Nie Chongshan said:
"It's a very strange feeling to think that I hate this garbage that no one wants."
"I feel the same way. I always find it annoying." Liu Mu couldn't figure it out either.
During the entire battle, Jing Eduo was watched and attacked by Nie Chongshan, who was extremely powerful in the shelter. From the beginning to the end, he was not injured at all and perfectly deflected all attacks. This was truly absolute defense.
Why did the judge and the blacksmith's first reaction was to kick such a powerful guy away
Now even I feel a little disgusted... Could it be that this person really has a certain temperament
A kind of temperament that makes people want to avoid it when they see it, and want to push it away when they get close to it.
What is this? A truly perfect defense, so it completely isolates itself
"But reason tells me that this guy is not a bad person at heart. Maybe he can be used by us in the future," said Nie Chongshan.
Liu Mu said:
"Shall I try to persuade him?"
"Do you think I should go?" Nie Chongshan asked back.
Liu Mu nodded. Although he was reluctant to talk to the mirror man, he did it all for the sake of refuge.
Moreover, Nie Chongshan doesn't know how to talk properly. He would just say "Hey, you unwanted piece of trash, do you want to hang out with me?"
This may intensify the conflict.
…
…
Yan Zizai and Xie Xingzhi have returned to the tower. They still have a lot of things to do, the most important of which is to pick up the people they should pick up.
Not long ago, a large number of people left the tower collectively, and everyone in the tower was aware of this.
People knew that they seemed to be heading to a dangerous area, but these people never came back, which made the people at the bottom of society wonder whether what happened ninety years ago would happen again
Liu Chengzi, Ruan Qingyun, Yan Jiu and others were waiting for news on the second floor.
Yan Zizai conveyed the news of the victory of the war to Yan Jiu through the conch shell, but because he was too busy, he did not go into details about many things.
So the girls were still very worried. Especially... after so much time had passed, no one had returned.
Everyone didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Yan Zizai and Xie Xingzhi arrived.
After explaining some things, Yan Zizai and Xie Xingzhi met the guardian of the Qin family when they were heading to the fifth floor of the tower.
Qin Chu.
Each of the eight ruling families has a guardian, who is the most powerful fighter after the head of the family.
As the family in charge of the largest number of military organizations in the tower, the Qin family's guardians are naturally very powerful and iron-blooded.
Qin Chu's physique is only slightly thinner than Liu Hu, but his sharp features show that he is extremely resolute. Unlike Liu Hu, who is a rough man, Qin Chu is more like a killer who has experienced life and death and can restrain his murderous intent.
"Congratulations, the new ruler of the Yan family. I didn't expect to see you here."
Qin Chu stood straight, like a robot.
Yan Zizai said:
"I didn't expect that? Aren't you here just to stop me?"
Qin Chu didn't beat around the bush and said:
"The traction wheel was finally kept by the Zhong family, but the Zhong family didn't have it. Zhong Xu is dead, and the traction wheel suddenly appeared now. You and the younger generation of my family organized a large number of people to go to a certain area. Shouldn't you explain who your traction wheel came from?"
Companion force, ninth level, fifth stage. The core talent sequence is sequence 28 - Dragon Transformation.
Qin Chu is a very troublesome opponent. Xie Xingzhi believes that he is no match for this man. If he cannot summon a very powerful spirit-receiving item, he will not be a match for Qin Chu with just technological equipment.
But Yan Zizai didn't care:
"Who do you think you are? If you want to question me, let Qin Ye come in person."
Veins popped out on Qin Chu's forehead, and it was obvious that he was suppressing his anger.
Yan Zizai, however, looked at Qin Chu with more contempt.
"If you want to do it, you have to testify for me. He was the one who started the trouble, and I was just forced to kill him."
This sentence was said by Yan Zizai to Xie Xingzhi.
Xie Xingzhi knew before that Yan Zizai was very proud, but after meeting Bai Wu and Wu Jiu, he became much more restrained.
But if he wasn't in front of these two people, he did have the capital to be arrogant.
Qin Chu didn't expect Yan Zizai's attitude to be so tough.
"The eight major families are in great need of traction wheels."
"Really? I'm withdrawing from the Eight Great Families. The agreement you made before is your past business. If you don't agree, just commit suicide and go to hell to cry to Yan Chao. But now, I have the final say in the Yan family. The traction wheel is in my hands. If you think I killed Zhong Xu, no problem, you can think whatever you want!"
Grass!
Xie Xingzhi cursed in his heart, isn't Yan Zizai too hard today
Is this a clear sign of making things difficult for the Qin family
Qin Chu is very powerful, but he may not be able to get away with it when facing Yan Zizai.
Seeing Yan Zizai hacking the traction wheel so confidently, Xie Xingzhi felt that this approach was necessary, but it was equivalent to taking on all the troubles by himself.
Xie Xingzhi couldn't help but sigh. At the beginning, his boss used his political skills to split the Zhong family and the Qin family and set up a team of supervisors, but he never imagined that the Yan family would become the biggest traitor in the team.
Qin Chu gritted his teeth and left.
After reaching the fifth level, Xie Xingzhi said:
"Aren't you afraid of being targeted by the other companies?"
"Among the six families, the ruler of the Zhong family has been destroyed. Do you think the Zhong family can still become powerful?"
"It's hard to say. But what is certain is that the Zhong family is in danger now. There are many people who want to take away the business in the Zhong family tower and occupy the Zhong family."
"So there are still four families that can deal with me, apart from the Qin family. However, the attitude of Zheng Yue of the Zheng family is very subtle, and they may not attack us. What if I take the initiative to make friends with the Zheng family? Once one of the four families is willing to stand on my side, plus your Xie family will help me."
Before Yan Zizai finished speaking, Xie Xingzhi pondered for a moment and realized that if the eight major families really wanted to reshuffle and change the eight-point power into a two-point power, this would be an opportunity.
However, Xie Xingzhi still reminded:
"You have to know that there are forces outside the tower behind them. We don't know what kind of assistance they can provide, and you yourself have suffered greatly from it. At present, you can no longer count on the forces behind your Yan family."
The Qin family has the help of forces outside the tower, so there have always been "new humans" in the Qin family.
The Xie family has a strong technological background because of the Mechanical City, and the other families also have the help of forces outside the tower.
Xie Xingzhi meant to remind Yan Zizai that one’s stance can be clear, but one’s attitude does not have to be so wild.
"I have people behind me too. The Sanctuary is my supporter outside the tower." Yan Zizai suddenly said.
This answer stunned Xie Xingzhi.
"Do you think the shelter is stronger than those monsters?"
"Of course, it would be strange to think otherwise, right?"
Xie Xingzhi couldn't find a reason to refute for a moment, but after thinking about it, it seemed to be true. The Baichuan City Shelter had fought off two powerful forces head-on.
After pondering for a while, Xie Xingzhi nodded and said:
"No wonder you're so crazy."
Yan Zizai smiled.
Xie Xingzhi said:
"It seems that the tower is also going to face a big change."
“It’s time to change.”
…
…
Baichuan City, outskirts.
"Aren't you planning to go back? Your teammates haven't returned to the roulette, but you have." Zheng Yue picked his ears and looked at Wujiu.
After the merchants were defeated by Zheng Yue and Wujiu, Zheng Yue had a premonition that there might be more troublesome enemies behind, so he retreated to the rear.
Although he wanted to start the return roulette several times, he gave up when he saw Wujiu and Yan Zizai were still waiting calmly at the front to support Bai Wu.
Finally, when the sun began to blind him, he realized that humans had won.
But soon Zheng Yue discovered something. Wujiu did not walk into the campus, but walked out of the protective shield.
"Hey, say something. I'm trying my best to help you." Zheng Yue followed behind Wujiu.
Wujiu is a very interesting person. He thinks this person is very suitable to be his partner because he is serious about his work, considerate of others, and will take the initiative to do more work when he is lazy.
Wujiu said:
"You should go back. Thank you for your help this time. That octopus is very troublesome. Who knows if it and the blacksmith have some tricks up their sleeves. If we can subdue one, maybe we can solve a lot of hidden dangers."
"Really? My importance is self-evident." Zheng Yue yawned.
He was actually very sleepy, so he was curious about what Wujiu was going to do:
"You have already stepped out of the confines of the shelter."
"Yes, I'm going to take a walk far away. You don't have to follow me."
"What does it mean to go somewhere far away?"
"This world encourages people to leave the tower. The longer you stay, the faster your strength will increase, and the greater the possibility of obtaining a sequence."
Wujiu answered calmly.
Zheng Yue understood, but not completely:
"You're not going to tell me that you're going to improve your strength? You should know that at our level, the price to pay for improving your strength is not small."
The later you go, the harder it is to improve your companion power, and so is your sequence. After killing many powerful monsters, you have a chance to get a sequence. But the more sequences you have, the lower the possibility.
Perhaps among the hundreds of members of the Survey Corps, a very small number were able to obtain sequences because of this, but these lucky ones did not have sequences before.
For someone like Wujiu, it is extremely difficult to improve, whether it is the sequence or the accompanying power.
For Zheng Yue, it is better to lie down than to deal with things that are too troublesome.
But for Wujiu, constantly pushing himself to become stronger is a matter of course.
It is the basic ethics that a captain must have to protect his teammates.
Wujiu did not listen to Zheng Yue. He did not stop, but kept walking out. His figure became smaller and smaller, and gradually, he became a dot in the distance.
People came and went, and no one noticed that the strongest man in the Survey Corps just disappeared like that.
He disappeared very peacefully, just as he had expected, just to do something that was a matter of course.
Wujiu rarely shows pride and gives everyone the impression that he is reliable.
There is no such thing as superficial arrogance.
But looking at Wujiu's disappearing figure, Zheng Yue was suddenly touched.
"It's a pity. I always feel that next time I see him... I might be the one holding him back."
Although he really wanted to catch up, Zheng Yue finally gave up. He knew very well that he didn't have that mentality.
This man... probably just wanted to get closer to this kind of power, or even surpass this kind of power because he had seen true power
The vast majority of people, including Zheng Yue himself, were basically shocked and numbed by the T-shaped power.
That kind of desperate gap makes it impossible for people to even think about surpassing others.
But there is another kind of people in this world who will never compromise and never stop.
This is true pride, a truly proud person. Only such a person can give people a sense of security that can always be trusted.
"I hope that the next time I see you, you will become the strongest human being, right?"
Zheng Yue found it really strange that such a lazy and casual person like him had such inflated confidence in Wujiu.
Finally, Zheng Yue started the return wheel. He had to go back and report to the old man Zheng You.
Zheng Yue had a feeling that it would be a long time before he would see Wujiu again.
…
…
A little after two in the afternoon.
While everyone was busy, Bai Wu came to the cafe outside Baichuan Middle School.
The cafe was already in ruins, but he still found a corner where no one could see him and squatted there alone.
He was waiting for Bai Yuan.
Bai Yuan would show up from time to time on weekdays, but once he was needed, he would pretend to be dead.
Fortunately, this time, Bai Yuan knew that Bai Wu had already come into contact with something and could not avoid it.
So, the white fog entered a strange state.
If someone saw Bai Wu now, they would probably think... Bai Wu is crazy and talking to ghosts.
The sunlight around became brighter. If Bai Yuan, wearing a white coat and with a gentle face, could appear in front of everyone, perhaps only Yan Zizai would not feel ashamed of himself.
"That's incredible! Congratulations on clearing the first level."
Bai Yuan clapped his hands and congratulated Bai Wu.
Bai Wu recalled that when he was a child, the only time his father acted like a father was when he was playing games. He would gently tell him to have imagination about the future.
Of course, when he was inserting the needle, he had the same expression, which made Bai Wu feel a little disgusted.
"Tell me, since you are my obsession and you are in my inner world, then you should know everything I have experienced. Tell me, what is going on."
Bai Wu looked at Bai Yuan, who was leaning against a collapsed wall, looking up at the sky and saying:
"There's nothing to say. I'm from a different era. Can't I just have a good vacation?"
"Do you know that Lin Rui is a masked man?"
"I don't know. Like you, I just found out not long ago that my old friend was actually that little kid."
"So... although they are one, they are very different?"
"Very big. Although they are all Lin Rui, Lin Rui can't reach K level. Under the cultivation of the farm, my old friend is much stronger than the Lin Rui you know."
Bai Wu believes this point. There is a huge gap in strength between Lin Rui's first-generation masked monster version and the second-generation masked monster version.
"Do you know Jingliu?"
"What do you think?"
"What is her purpose? What is the tower, and what is the well? How can I save Lin Rui? Are you really dead? Why am I in this world? Or, why are you in another world?"
Bai Wu still had a lot of questions, but Bai Yuan made a shushing gesture:
“Don’t be too greedy.”
Bai Wu didn't say anything.
Bai Yuan pointed his palm towards the sky, letting the dazzling sunlight shine in through his fingers, and said slowly:
"Let me think about how to answer you. I don't really care. My current mentality is the same as my old friend's. We don't care what the world will become. But since you asked, I can treat it as a reward for you building a shelter and give you some tips for clearing the level. I will only say this once, so don't interrupt me."
"A tower is a tower, and a well is a well. They are indeed related, but you have to dig out this relationship yourself."
"The tower is a cage. It will only appear when the distortion of this world drops to a certain level. But if there is no distortion at all, it will be destroyed. How should I put it? The tower will only be found when the distortion comes but does not exceed a certain level."
"And the well is the source of distortion. Don't think that just because Jing Er is guarding the well, he knows where the well is. It is true that there is a periphery of the well in this world, but in an absolutely distorted world, no one will ever know the so-called periphery and the true distance from the well."
"The monster that Jing Si is afraid of is a monster that all other members of Jing Zi want to find, because that monster is the origin of distortion. But there is also another monster, the creator of the tower, who used the tower as a prison and sealed it."
"Me and the first generation masked man you mentioned, I prefer to call him Lao K. The two of us are considered to have seen the maker of the tower. He and the monster in the tower were the first to come into contact with the well. Both of us are, in your opinion, origin-level beings."
Bai Wu was shocked when he heard this.
Bai Yuan didn't care how much Bai Wu could understand, and continued:
"The tower is a huge cage that isolates the power of distortion. Therefore, the power of the monsters trapped in the tower is greatly weakened."
"However, the creator of the tower sealed the huge monster, but he has also died. Old K and I are the ones he has chosen."
"As for the monster sealed in the tower, once it leaves the tower, it will make the world even more distorted. The monsters with the word 'tic' on them were created by it to rescue it. They knew their mission when they were born."
"However, two of them were 'reversed' by the tower builder. You should have guessed that these two people are Jing Si and Jing Liu."
"Perhaps you have begun to doubt Jingliu, but she is different from the other Jings."
"You can think of the monster in the tower as the king. The other wells are waiting for the king to come into the world and let the distortion cover the world forever. And it will continue to spread, occupying a wider world, as well as time and space."
"Whoever achieves this first will be recognized by the monster. So they each act independently, but because their interests are the same, they are not absolute enemies."
"Well, Jing Liu... maybe it's like this, maybe it's not. Hey, you should pay attention to her and be wary of her, but you can't be hostile to her."
"As for Jingsi, it's funny to say that he was the only one who stood on the side of the Tower Builder and intended to purify the distortion and help humanity, but he went crazy."
Bai Yuan easily solved all the mysteries, but Bai Yuan had no idea about the origin, the well, and the black fog.
The puzzles seem to be increasing, but what is certain is that Bai Yuan has really participated in this twisted journey.
"Are you really dead?"
"Yes, I died of illness, just like the Ten of Spades. We went to another world and didn't have to be afraid of those powerful monsters. Although our karma was marked by the farmer, he couldn't find us in the other world. But in the corresponding, we became vulnerable after going to the other world."
Bai Yuan looked at Bai Wu, his smile becoming more gentle:
"I am indeed dead, so you have to be respectful to me as a dead person. The dead are the greatest."
Bai Wu still had many questions to ask, but Bai Yuan suddenly said:
"I'm just a player from the last era. I'm out. I don't care what will happen if the game has no heroes but only the big devil."
He paused briefly:
"Well, it's about three o'clock. I should go get some tea. You have one last question to ask."
last question.
Bai Yuan has basically revealed the outline of the iceberg, what the people from the Jing family want to do, and what is the greatest use of the tower.
But there are still many mysteries, such as sequence and accompanying power, entries, half-evil, and why the farm and himself came to this world. Will the world outside the black fog be affected
How to save Lin Rui? How to find the well? Why do the monsters in the tower need the top 100 sequencers
What is the relationship between the Black Mist and the Well or the two Origin-level beings
Bai Wu really wanted to know these questions, but in the end, Bai Wu asked a very selfish question.
He knew that this question was a bit unpromising and inappropriate, but he still asked it:
"So, what happened to me as a child was deliberately caused by you?"
After hearing this, Bai Yuan was stunned for a second, then burst into laughter. His usually elegant laughter was no longer elegant.
"Hahahahahaha... This is such a stupid question. Why humiliate yourself? What I did to you was just a spur of the moment. For me, coming to another world is like quitting that game."
Bai Yuan looked at Bai Wu with pity, and Bai Wu's hands were shaking unconsciously.
"Do you know how low the chances are for a person to not be infected by negative emotions, but to survive healthily and not become a murderous antisocial monster?"
"Don't think so highly of me. Maybe I'm just tinkering with you. If you were a defective product and became waste, I would also scrap you without hesitation."
"Don't think that my concern for you is out of some kind of mission. Once any game has a mission that is too heavy, it loses its fun. I pursue fun, do you understand?"
Bai Wu laughed at himself. This was such a stupid question... What on earth was I expecting
But it’s also good this way, at least I can hate this person openly.
Bai Yuan said:
"Don't expect me to have any expectations of you. If one day, I really do this, it must be that I took the wrong medicine."
"Same here, don't expect me to have any expectations of you. If one day I really do this... Oh, I can't do that."
Bai Wu responded calmly, but in Bai Yuan's eyes, it was as if a child was scolded and talked back unhappily.
The atmosphere was a bit weird, but Bai Yuan and Bai Wu adapted well. In another world, this father and son had experienced too many similar scenes.
"However, since I have survived in this way, I still hope that you can hold on a little longer. When the time is right, you can also ask me for help. I look forward to seeing you clear the second level. I'm going to have some tea."
Bai Yuan disappeared.
Bai Wu's eyes seemed a little empty. After a long time, he stood up and brushed off the dust on his body.
He still needs to digest a lot of things that Bai Yuan said.
As for the second level mentioned by Bai Yuan... he didn't know what it would be.
But no matter what it is... since I have already stood on the opposite side of the distortion, I will continue on this path.
One day, the prosperous and bustling Baichuan City will appear in this world.
…
…
Outside the tower, unknown area, sea.
The cruise ship is sailing on the sea.
Countless evil creatures gathered on the huge deck. Some of them had human shapes, while others had completely mutated into distorted shapes.
Countless evils fell on this huge cruise ship, fighting for seven hundred years, and coexisting for seven hundred years.
Now they are all looking in the same direction, which is rare.
If you ask these people whether the world has an end, not long ago, they would definitely think that the world has no end.
But not long ago, with the opening of the well... this ship, which was able to break through many areas, finally had the opportunity to break through the black fog...
…
…
Outside the black fog, in the former territorial waters of Shengguo and now the international waters of the four countries, the naval forces stationed by countless countries will remember this moment. All liaison personnel are urgently reporting the situation at the edge of the black fog.
Out of the endless black fog, emerged a super huge ark cruise ship!
The sea current was turbulent, and amid the deafening sound of the whistle, all members of the garrison teams from various countries looked up and watched the huge cruise ship with the pattern of the ancient country from seven hundred years ago sailing out!
It was shrouded in a vast shadow, as if a huge monster from the black fog had descended upon the world.
