Well World, Third Level, Unknown Desert.
Not long ago, he triggered the teleportation stele left by Ten of Spades. It was enveloped by golden light and the next journey began.
Bai Wu originally thought that the so-called new adventure was just an "upgraded version" of the second-level well world.
But soon, he began to feel the "specialness" of this world.
The sand in this desert is colorful.
It's not that the color of the sand is not uniform, but the process of the wind blowing the sand will cause the flying sand and quicksand to change color from time to time.
This strange phenomenon - the Eye of Prell - does not provide an explanation.
There are many strange scorpions in the desert. The Eye of Prell gives an explanation for these scorpions.
Don't mess with them, they may not look big, but they come in groups and are all level nine mutants.
Considering Bai Wu’s current strength, the ninth-level mutant is nothing.
The reason why he felt this place was scary was mainly because after drinking the well water, Bai Wu felt "hunger and thirst" for the first time.
In the true sense, I am hungry and thirsty.
His strength was hardly reduced, and he had no problem crossing the polar desert.
But after arriving in this area, Bai Wu felt hungry and thirsty.
This feeling gradually intensified, affecting Bai Wu's combat effectiveness.
Bai Wu also felt that he should have a strong regenerative power, and this power was still there, but thirst and hunger were like two negative attributes that weakened him little by little.
If a battle occurs during this process, and if they fight a group of Level 9 mutants described by the Eye of Prell as "small" but actually the size of babies,
Bai Wu suspected that his hunger and thirst would become even worse.
When the white fog had gone most of the way and was about to cross the desert and find the water source, the Eye of Prell popped up a note about the third-level well world.
The note is very long, unprecedentedly long:
Once upon a time, humans and all living things needed to devour other species to gain their own vitality.
With the emergence of distortion, more and more powerful creatures are like the masters in fantasy novels who can live without food and water, relying only on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to survive~
It’s like falling into evil, where one can go seven hundred years without eating and can have a full meal relying on negative emotions.
But it doesn’t work here, old friend. Here, you may still be a superman, but in the entire third-level well world, there are very few creatures that can compete with you. But even you, in this world, must drink water, eat, sleep, and excrete!
Hunger, thirst, and fatigue will be magnified countless times here and will directly affect your life percentage.
Here, people from the seven major consortiums will continue to expand their territory and build warm camps suitable for humans to rest.
Here, the seven major consortiums will fight for water, fruits, food and other things that replenish vitality.
Believe me, the lake here is worth hundreds of the most luxurious villas in Jing City in exchange for the seven major financial groups.
However, being a trader is meaningless to you and me. What you need to do is to find a way to enter the next level and complete the side quests that must be completed to enter the next level.
Resources, and the root of birth, aging, sickness and death.
The focus of this passage made Bai Wu realize that the world is competing for resources.
The fallen evil, humans with powerful companion forces, and the Seven Financial Groups, these beings have long been like demigods compared to the normal world.
However, the third layer of the well world did not reduce the power of these creatures, but made them rely on resources for survival like ants.
Because in this world, all living things experience what is necessary for life.
The immortals will die of hunger and thirst in this world.
A monster that is invulnerable to swords and guns and indestructible may die from being suffocated by urine.
A creature that has plenty of energy and can launch endless attacks will die of exhaustion from lack of sleep.
The rules showed their power in the face of the seven major conglomerates and countless evildoers.
It seems that here, with countless survival resources, all living things are standing in the same position.
This is a very interesting thing.
After more than ten minutes, the white fog finally passed through the desert and came to the city.
He was not unfamiliar with this kind of scene.
The temperature in the area which was over 60 degrees Celsius suddenly turned to minus 9 degrees Celsius.
Once you enter the desert area, it's like walking from a furnace into an ice cellar.
Bai Wu discovered that his resistance to temperature had decreased, but overall it was not a threat to his life.
The desert and the city ruins were almost seamlessly connected, so Bai Wu realized that... this third-level well world might be a sutured place just like the area where Well 2 was located.
You can never be sure that you will see swamps, oceans, hills, or other special areas outside the city.
The city's style is also very mixed.
Bai Wu saw that the food city’s harbor was moved to the city center, and Xuanhui City’s science and technology building was moved to the edge of the harbor.
The world is like a puzzle that has been completely disrupted.
Bai Wu was not in a hurry to analyze, because he soon found food and water in an abandoned supermarket.
This is a relatively large supermarket, which can only be entered by going down to the basement level via a broken elevator.
When Bai Wu saw the cans and water, he subconsciously wanted to check the production date, but saw the note on the Eye of Prell:
Don't worry about getting sick after eating, because all the food here comes from the real time of your real world. Of course, you will occasionally see food from other time and space, but at least they are only from that world.
Let's have a quiz without prizes - suppose a time traveler traveled back to the Tang Dynasty, drank a freshly opened pot of wine with the great poet, and then traveled back to the modern era with the remaining wine, then how would one calculate the shelf life of that jar of wine
This nonsensical question made Bai Wu understand the key point of this note.
There will be many resource points in this world.
For example, in this supermarket, you can get food and water by occupying resource points.
And there is no need to worry about the sanitation of food and water. Perhaps the food and water here come from other time and space, but just like the wine in the jar in question - although the wine came a thousand years later, it has not been stored for a thousand years. For the wine itself, it has just been opened.
It’s like a person traveled through time a thousand years into the future. To the people around him, this person is an ancient person from a thousand years ago, but to the time traveler himself, this person’s age is not much different from that of the people around him.
Bai Wu took a few cans of food and drank a lot of water.
He put these things back into the storage bag. He was too lazy to care about the relationship between the food on the third level of the Well World and the reality. Now he had to replenish water and food.
When the feelings of hunger and thirst completely disappeared, Bai Wu even felt that his strength had slightly improved.
I felt the comfort of not being hungry or thirsty for the first time in a long time.
He decided to leave here.
But the moment he walked out of the elevator, Bai Wu met a few "old friends".
Evil fall on the flight.
The dog-headed evil man Tian Jing looked lovingly at the evil woman who had her belly hollowed out and had undergone cesarean section.
Behind these two people was Muniu Yin, who was wrapped in bandages.
Bai Wu was startled and subconsciously thought that they were projections like the people on the second level of the well world.
Even the phantom Jing Liu thought so.
Jing Liu had an impression of the mummy Yin, who was the guardian of his third brother.
Mu Nai Yin's power itself is not strong, but he has reincarnation.
The third brother has the power of life and death, but reincarnation belongs to the power of time and space.
The cycle of life and death is in the hands of the third brother, which is why Jing Liu and Jing Wu are both concerned about it.
But these people...
Not a projection.
Do you need me to introduce him again? Ok, the dog-headed man is a licker, and his happiness is probably to lick but not get what he wants. The caesarean section woman was also a licker, and she licked the old monster of the Yan family. As for this mummy Yin, yes, he is the most impressive monster that you and the conductor defeated in the early days.
Yes, after reading this you should be convinced that these three guys who should have been dead appeared in this world, and they were not projections.
The third level of the well world, could it be that even life and death are distorted
Could it be possible that we would encounter dead people here
Bai Wu stood there in a daze.
Mu Nai Yin looked at the white fog very curiously. As for Tian Jing and Jian Qiu, they also showed intriguing expressions.
"Don't tell me—you're dead? No, I've seen your evil form before, and this is your human form."
Jian Qiu spoke first.
Bai Wu is the sweetheart of her little girl Yan Jiu, and she has a very good impression of Bai Wu.
Although... Bai Wu didn't save them that day.
"What's going on? Why are you here?"
Mu Nai Yin, who was always silent and could hardly speak, said:
"Bai Wu, how is my master?"
"Your master, are you talking about Zhou Zeshui?"
Mu Nai Yin was stunned, then nodded.
This name sounded a bit old, which made Mu Nai Yin pause for a moment.
Since Mu Nai Yin is guarding Lao Zhou so fiercely, he can be considered as one of our own.
Bai Wu's expression became more serious:
"he died."
Muniyin was furious, and the bandages seemed like a lotus that suddenly bloomed.
But Bai Wu's next words made Mu Nai Yin regain his composure:
"He died to save me. You should know that as Zhou Zeshui, he didn't want to live anymore. He was just waiting for a successor."
Mu Nai Yin paused.
"His death was not in vain. What happened on the flight is the reason why I came here. I think you know this place better than me. I am investigating here and plan to go deeper into the next level."
The evil that has fallen here has naturally come from contact with the local "people".
Those people with numbers on their necks and almost no facial features have a very obvious difference in appearance from Bai Wu.
They could also sense the identity of the outsider in the white mist at a glance.
"My master... is dead. How could he, who possesses the power of life and death, die?"
"It's a long story."
Bai Wu glanced at Jing Liu. If it weren’t for Jing Liu’s planning, Zhou Zeshui would not have died.
But Jing Liu didn't care. She had a clear conscience. Her brother got the reincarnation. In her opinion, what was the big deal about sacrificing Jing San in this process
Bai Wu briefly recounted the subsequent conversation with Zhou Zeshui, and also told Mu Nai Yin some of the things that happened afterwards.
When he learned that Zhou Zeshui's last words were to die as a human being, Mu Nai Yin almost knelt on the ground, extremely sad.
Neither Tian Jing nor Jian Qiu expected that Bai Wu had such rich experience.
It would have been fine if only one person came to the third level of the Well World, but in the real world, even the Lord of Distortion was released.
It took the three flights a while to digest the evil that happened, and they gradually accepted some facts.
Bai Wu felt that the time was almost up, so he said:
"It's time to tell me something. I'm not very familiar with this world. You came here a while earlier than me, so you must know a lot of things?"
"By the way, I remember there was another evil person in the cabin you were in on the flight?"
Tian Jing, Jian Qiu, and a certain evil guy were together. Bai Wu remembered these.
Jian Qiu said:
"Not all evil ones will come here after they die. Whether they can come here depends on chance. Many evil ones are dead forever."
Jian Qiu was a little thirsty, so Bai Wu handed him some water. Tian Jing, the bootlicker beside him, felt very distressed, so he spoke for Jian Qiu and stopped him from speaking.
It seems that everyone has language skills, which is a good thing.
"Only a small number of dead evil ones have a chance to come here."
Bai Wu probably understood, and thought that he was lucky to meet three "old friends" when he went out.
"We have to quickly collect water and food, and then leave here. You are lucky to have appeared in the edge area. Although the resources here are not much, it is a fixed output. This resource point will probably be targeted by the seven major financial groups soon."
"For seven hundred years, we have never needed water or food, and we have never needed to rest. But after coming here, we also need to collect water and food."
"The same goes for the people from the seven major financial groups."
Tian Jing's words made Bai Wu understand something:
"Do supermarkets and convenience stores here replenish their resources regularly?"
"Yes... You can think of this place as a world with infinite resources. Although the resources are endless, the output of each resource refresh is very limited."
"We were gradually deprived of our survival resources by the seven financial groups and were forced to retreat to the barren land. Many of the evil ones starved to death and some even began to eat their own kind."
Jian Qiu, Mu Naiyin, and Tian Jing all took the water from Bai Wu. They had obviously been thirsty for a long time.
After getting the supplement, his expression was completely different.
Bai Wu thought of a question:
"In other words, the seven major financial groups came to this world to fight against you, the evil ones?"
"Yes, all the evil ones are enemies of the seven major financial groups. Of course, there are also a small number of evil ones who, in order to survive, have joined the seven major financial groups." Mu Nai Yin spoke slowly.
Bai Wu looked into the distance, and the note in his eyes had already indicated that a large number of people were coming, but he was not panicked at all. He was even a little excited.
Bai Wu turned around and asked again:
"Everything in the Well World corresponds to the real world. I really want to know what impact your death, that is, the killing of you by the seven major financial groups, will have on the real world..."
