Although they had never heard of the term "phantom light", they could guess that "phantom light" was the beam of light that made "Wei Chenxi" become semi-demented.
Like the force field attached to the wall, phantom light is also a weapon that can affect consciousness.
They cannot be illuminated by the phantom light, otherwise they will never be able to go back.
They are now in a corridor surrounded by white. This color may seem neat and clean at first, but it will make people anxious and unbearable over time.
The walls were all the same, there was no difference. No one came to chase them, otherwise they would have just grabbed a protective suit.
Liang Xian took out the most powerful rocket tube from his backpack and shot at the wall. An explosion sounded, but only a faint black mark was left on the wall. It was unclear how thick the wall was or whether there was outside behind the wall.
They seemed to be in a desperate situation.
Once exposed to the phantom light, they would become semi-demented and locked in a safety cabin, treated as protected animals.
Liang Xian fired at the wall repeatedly, using up all the cannons and bullets he carried, but only leaving a hole on the wall.
Suddenly, rows of lights lit up overhead, as if they were about to release the so-called "phantom light".
In a flash, Liang Xian, holding Tan Yan, crashed into the wall.
Tan Yan immediately realized what Liang Xian was going to do, and he quickly pushed him away: "No!"
"Let's give it a try!" Liang Xian said, "This is the only way, right? We can't both be trapped here!"
After saying that, he placed his hands on the wall and released all his consciousness. The powerful strength honed in the zombie world offset the force field attached to the wall.
At this moment, Liang Xian was using his flesh and blood to withstand the artillery shells. If the force field attached to the wall was compared to an electric grid, then Liang Xian was turning his consciousness into an insulator. He threw his fragile consciousness onto the electric grid just to buy a moment of opportunity for Tan Yan.
They were betting that there was not another passage behind the wall, that Liang Xian's brain would not be destroyed by this attempt, and that Tan Yan would be able to seize this brief opportunity and destroy the wall.
The moment the force field disappeared, Liang Xian screamed and fainted in Tan Yan's arms.
Taking this opportunity, Tan Yan punched the wall, and a big hole appeared in the wall that was extremely solid just now. Tan Yan rolled out of the hole holding Liang Xian.
As soon as they left the passage, the magnificent light filled the entire passage.
Tan Yan was holding the unconscious Liang Xian against the other side of the wall, looking at the sky outside...
There was no sky, but a protective shield thousands of meters above the head, simulating the blue sky and white clouds of the past, which looked very realistic.
However, fake is fake, even if the movement of the white clouds is so real, it still feels fake.
There was a emerald green lawn on the ground. Tan Yan reached out and touched it. The grass was so fresh and tender that water could be squeezed out of it, but it was still fake.
Light shone through the hole in the wall beside him and shone onto the lawn.
The artificial grass that came into contact with the "phantom light" suddenly lost its vitality. It still looked the same on the outside, but it no longer had that vibrant feeling.
Where on earth is this place
Another voice came from the white building: "Super alarm, super alarm. The outer wall of area C3 has been damaged. Two protected wild animals have escaped from the protected area and entered the wild conservation area. Please stop releasing the 'illusion light'. Please stop releasing the 'illusion light'."
It seems that this fake blue sky, white clouds and lawn is called "Wild Conservation Area". Tan Yan tried it and found that he was able to use his consciousness.
Anyway, it's good news at last.
He carried the unconscious Liang Xian on his back and led his men forward step by step.
The wildlife reserve is very large and looks like a small city, and even has residential areas.
The houses here are all very big, each of them is a two- or three-story villa, and there is a considerable distance between each house, a bit like the high-end villa community in the real world. In the middle of the community is an eight-row road, with trees planted on both sides of the road, and airships parked in the yards of every household.
It seems that a pleasant environment and a rich life are probably the most ideal living conditions for human beings in the real world.
Besides giving people a somewhat fake feeling, it also made Tan Yan feel uncomfortable.
He looked back at the building that trapped himself and Liang Xian. It looked like a white tower standing in the middle of the "wildlife conservation area".
Just looking at the location of the White Pagoda, it seems that the reserve has a very high status in the "wild conservation area".
Tan Yan suppressed his discomfort and took Liang Xian to avoid the villa area as much as possible. Since it was a "conservation area", there must be boundaries, and as long as there were boundaries, he could get out.
In order to avoid the pursuers, he quickened his pace and ran.
Tan Yan, who had regained consciousness, ran very fast. In less than half an hour, he ran more than 100 kilometers. At this time, he was already far away from the villa area. Small hills and rivers began to appear around him, and the scenery was very beautiful. But Tan Yan, who had seen countless great rivers in the world, clearly realized that all this was fake.
A little deer ran past Tan Yan. Because it looked somewhat like Tan Lu, Tan Yan could hardly divert his attention for a moment and focused on the deer.
Suddenly a bullet flew over, and the deer fell down with a mournful cry. Then an airship appeared next to the deer's body. A man came down with a hunting rifle, picked up the deer's body, and put it on the airship.
Tan Yan stopped and looked at the man, trying to determine whether he was a human or something else.
Or maybe it’s fake, like the blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and clear water.
The man also saw Tan Yan and walked straight towards him.
Tan Yan looked at his feet. The blood that the deer had just shed had disappeared and was absorbed by the weeds on the ground.
And this man, who looked to be in his thirties, didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this, as if it was a very normal thing for his blood to be absorbed by the earth.
"Hey, brother, are you here to hunt too?" the man asked enthusiastically when he saw Tan Yan.
Tan Yan looked at him. This handsome man had a pair of kind and gentle eyes. One's eyes could not hide the environment a person lived in. The man's eyes told Tan Yan that he lived a quiet and comfortable life and was a well-educated person living in a peaceful world.
Such people live in so-called "wild conservation areas".
"Yes, I hunt too," Tan Yan followed his words, "My name is Tan Jian, what's your name?"
"Chen Xuexi, just call me Lao Chen." Chen Xuexi didn't seem to notice that his name was a bit strange. "Why are you carrying someone on your back? Is he sick?"
"I fell asleep because I was tired from walking." Tan Yan replied calmly.
He did not doubt the authenticity of the person in front of him, he doubted the world.
"You still need someone to carry you when you're this old?" Chen Xuexue was puzzled. "Are you sick? You should go to the hospital if you're sick. If you don't want to see a doctor, a minor illness will turn into a serious one."
Tan Yan did not answer him, but pointed to the mountains in the distance and said, "I want to go over there for a walk, do you want to go?"
Chen Xuexue's expression became tense: "Where do you want to go? Outside the mountain is a dangerous area, you can't go there."
"What's outside the mountain?" Tan Yan looked at him, feeling more and more curious.
Chen Xuexi didn't seem to have any defensive mentality. No matter what he asked, he answered directly, as if... he had lost the ability to think for himself.
"The gods said there are monsters." Chen Xuexue replied, "You learned this in the textbooks, didn't you learn it well? In the past, humans lived with monsters, and humans were eaten and died every day. Later, the gods couldn't bear to see humans suffer, so they came to the human world to help them. The world was divided into two. The other side of the mountain was the world of monsters, and this side of the mountain was the living area of humans, who survived under the protection of the gods."
Heavenly God? Tan Yan wrote down this term.
He had a rough guess as to what kind of world this was, but he still needed to confirm it.
"But don't you want to see what the world looks like?" asked Tan Yan.
"Have you never watched TV?" Chen Xuexi asked, "The gods release the outside world every once in a while. There are flying sands, rocks and monsters everywhere. The sky is black and there is no light at all. The human living area is better. The gods' messengers send food here every day. If you want to hunt, you can go out and walk in the wild. Today I hunted a deer. I will have a good feast tonight."
"But I still want to see the outside world with my own eyes." Tan Yan asked tentatively, "Does the God have to be right?"
"How can you doubt the words of the gods?" Chen Xuexue, who seemed to be in a good mood, immediately changed his expression. "A naughty child like you should go to the White Tower for re-education!"
As he said this, he pointed to the tall building, which was the white tower where Tan Yan escaped.
"I'm not being naughty. I'm interested in everything. The White Tower looks pretty good, too." Tan Yan followed what Chen Xuexue said.
As expected, Chen Xuexue was very happy to hear him say that the White Pagoda was good. "That's right. The White Pagoda is a place where people's souls can be baptized. The gods live there and will help lost people find their way back. Many people who have made mistakes will be sent to the White Pagoda. When they come out, they will be kind children again. God will bless us. My son made mistakes before. He actually said that he was fed up with the nutritious meals sent by the gods every day. He felt unhappy eating the same thing every meal. I sent him to the White Pagoda, and he became a well-behaved boy after he came back."
"Have you ever asked your son what the White Tower is like?"
"You can't ask. This is a secret. Only those who are blessed by God can see it. The rest will lose their memories of being in the White Tower."
Thinking of what happened in the White Pagoda, Tan Yan felt a slight chill in his heart.
He understood why this place was called a "wildlife conservation area."
Obedient, tamed, and non-resistance humans will be sent to "wild conservation areas" to roam free, where they will be provided with shelter, clothing, and food by the so-called "gods". They will not have to suffer for life and will live a happy but lowly life.
As long as they show the slightest resistance, they will be sent to the White Tower, where their consciousness will be destroyed with "illusion light" and then placed in a safe cabin for brainwashing.
Once they come out of the White Tower, they will become as docile and obedient as the people in these wildlife reserves.
It turns out this is what the “Gods” mean when they call humans “protected animals.”
It is unclear whether there will be an end of the world outside, but as long as the humans living here do not have a rebellious mentality, they will live well and do not need to worry about trivial matters.
Living in a false natural environment, all possibilities of evolution are stifled.
