Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 726: True and false

Views:

"You mean, the ruins of this city are weird?" Facing the calm and rational Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong could relatively easily interpret what he was trying to express.

Shang Jianyao smiled and said:

"I just briefly analyzed the contradiction between the current situation of this urban ruin and its geographical location."

"Well." Jiang Baimian nodded lightly, "It has been almost seventy years since the destruction of the old world, such unexplored ruins must have their own special features: the ruins of Swamp No. 1 are located inside the Great Swamp. Difficulty, the ruins of Wasteland No. 13 were guarded by the army sent by the 'First City', and no one was allowed to enter.

"Opposite to them is the Scarlet Wilderness No. 9 Ruins. Although there are many dangers inside, there are many places that are forbidden areas for humans until now, but because they are easier to find and not surrounded by any major forces, there are still a large number of Relic hunters have come and gone, which has led to the fact that parts of the city area there have been almost 'developed'."

What she means is that Taicheng is located in a place where the ice field extends in all directions. The "old tune group" traveled all the way, and did not even deviate from the roads left by the old world, they arrived at their destination, and the "Salvation Army" did not send The army is here to take care of it. The current situation is indeed worth thinking about, and there must be something strange.

If the location of Taicheng is in an area with semi-permafrost deep in the ice sheet, the remains hunters could not use the short summer to pass through many obstacles and reach there, resulting in better preservation of the ruins of the city, then it is understandable. From any angle, it goes against common sense.

Bai Chen thoughtfully said:

"It may be that the ice sheet has a relatively short season for human action. After so many years, the ruins hunters have not even excavated much of the ruins of the cities further south, and they lack enough motivation to continue to the north."

"This is a reason." Genova said after modeling and analysis, "but the probability is very low, because the further north you go, the fewer 'unintentional people' left in the ruins of the city, and the lower the degree of danger. After comprehensive calculation, Take a little time to explore north, the benefits are higher, and the risks are easier to grasp.”

Winters are tough, for humans, and for the "unintentional" group.

The farther north the ice sheet goes, the worse it gets.

Jiang Baimian nodded, looked at Shang Jianyao and said:

"Do you have any idea?"

In terms of broad thinking, she has always believed that there is a big gap between herself and Shang Jianyao.

She is still in the realm of normal human beings.

Shang Jianyao laughed:

"The ruins of such a big city are placed here, and the surrounding environment is not bad. There are many hunters who hunt and explore in the north. Why do they turn a blind eye?"

"Ignore it..." Jiang Baimian's heart moved, and a little association suddenly occurred.

Shang Jianyao then showed a relieved expression:

"You sure do remember.

"Nanwu Amu Doluo Samyao Sambodhi, donor, do you still remember the abnormality in Room 302, Building 4, District 2 of the Ruins of the Steel Factory?"

Hearing this sentence, not only Jiang Baimian, but also Long Yuehong and Bai Chen reacted instantly.

And Genova, because he didn't experience it himself, took a little time to call up the relevant information:

At that time, what Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian saw in Room 302 were ordinary ruins, nothing of value was found, but Long Yuehong, who was peeping out of the window, saw two corpses lying on the bed, A bright red quilt embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns.

In the end, Shang Jianyao, at the prompt of Long Yuehong, touched the little jade Buddha at the intersection of reality and falsehood, and brought it up.

This led to the shattering of the false scene he and Jiang Baimian had seen before, and the real internal situation of Room 302 was presented.

This incident is related to the contradictory phenomenon in Taicheng, which makes people naturally have corresponding guesses.

Long Yuehong, who spoke more enthusiastically than ever, said after deliberation:

"We entered the real Taicheng, and the relic hunters saw the fake Taicheng. There are no valuable items there, or it is in a state that is difficult to excavate and lacks the meaning of exploration?"

"We can enter Zhentai City because we are carrying special items that originate from Buddhist holy places?" Bai Chen followed and speculated.

While Jiang Baimian nodded lightly, Shang Jianyao took off his tactical backpack with a smile:

"I think so too."

Snapped!

He looked up the "Six Consciousness Pearl" and threw it to the side of the road very casually.

Immediately afterwards, he also lifted the little jade Buddha with green lake water and threw it to the ground. Jiang Baimian also threw out his "chaotic right hand".

The surrounding scene did not change.

"This is a bit embarrassing..." The honest Shang Jianyao mocked himself.

Jiang Baimian looked around and said thoughtfully:

"It may be because we have entered Zhentai City, and even if we throw away the corresponding items, there will be no more 'hallucinations'."

On the word "hallucination", she was not so sure, because it was still unclear what the situation was.

"Then what should I do?" Long Yuehong frowned slightly.

The reckless Shang Jianyao responded immediately:

"Go ahead and go to No. 1 Senior High School!"

There is the body of Buddhist holy land.

Jiang Baimian glared at him:

"Exit and re-enter, confirm the situation and then talk.

"be careful and live long!"

"Yeah, yeah." Shang Jianyao didn't have Jiang Baimian refuting his self-consciousness at all.

In this regard, Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and Genava have no objection.

After picking up the items on the ground, several members of the "Old Tune Team" got back into the car and returned along the original road until they came to the fracture zone.

Here, they can no longer see Taicheng.

"Lao Ge, you stay here with the 'Six Consciousness Beads' and the Little Jade Buddha, waiting for news." Jiang Baimian had no doubts about his choice.

Genova was the only one in the team who was not affected by props such as the "Six Senses Pearl".

This time, Shang Jianyao not only left behind the "Six Consciousness Pearl" and the Little Jade Buddha, but also gave Genava the "Angel of Life" necklace and the picture of God's blessing.

"You must take good care of them!" he urged sincerely.

Jiang Baimian's mouth moved slightly, and while handing the "chaotic right hand" to Genava, he set up the auxiliary chip in the biological prosthesis to monitor his own state.

The four of them got into the car again, and Bai Chen drove them towards Taicheng.

On the way, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian both maintained a high degree of concentration, and used their own methods to sense the changes around them.

After ten minutes, the distant scene silenced them at the same time.

Taicheng, which was still "in" before, seemed to have suffered a natural disaster like a landslide and ground fissure. It had been buried by boulders, mud and cracks, and only a few collapsed buildings were vaguely exposed.

Surrounding the ruins that are extremely difficult to excavate, there are swamps formed by flooded water, isthmuses with invisible bottoms, and dammed lakes that may collapse at any time...

Anyone who sees this scene will not hesitate to give up and stop trying to explore Taicheng.

There are many ruins in the city where materials can be better obtained on the icefield. There is no need to die here, and the risks and benefits are completely disproportionate!

"There really is a fake Taicheng..." After being silent, Long Yuehong said in a tone that was almost babbling.

He was shocked.

Room 302 of the ruins of the steel factory is just a house with a few dozen square meters. It is hidden and false, which makes people feel that it is not so exaggerated.

And now, the "Old Tune Group" is in front of a city with millions of people living in the old world, and it has been separated from the real and the fake!

Shang Jianyao's expression gradually became excited:

"What will happen if we don't stop and keep driving towards the isthmus ahead?"

"Don't court death." Jiang Baimian stopped this guy in a succinct manner.

She took a breath and said:

"Let's try a few more times to confirm which items allow us to enter Zhentai City, which may be of great use later."

"Okay." Bai Chen withdrew his eyes slightly with difficulty.

Since joining the "Old Tune Group", a lot of her past common sense has been upended.

After several rounds of experiments, it was clear that the "Old Tune Group" was the result of the "Six Consciousness Pearls" and the Little Jade Buddha.

As long as they bring any of them, the "old tune group" can enter Zhentai City, provided that they are no more than fifty meters away from these two items.

"It's really amazing..." Long Yuehong ended today's attempt with such a sentence.

At this time, the five members of the "Old Tune Group" were sitting on the jeep and slowly moving along the car-free street in Zhentai City.

Genova looked at Jiang Baimian with her red eyes flashing:

"Where are we going next?"

Jiang Baimian already had a draft:

"Find a nearby city map first.

"Then go to Harbour Garden, No. 1 Senior High School and Renhui Hospital in turn."

She ranked it according to the degree of danger - Harbour Home is the place where Fan Wensi and Li Jinlong once rented, and the secrets must be the least, while No. 1 Senior High School is clearly a Buddhist holy place, and Renhui Hospital involves those vegetative volunteers, who belong to the most Risky place.
