"I have thought about this issue a long time ago. Don't worry, I will be able to become friends with that kid named Tianyang today. We will be very good friends!"
Zhang Dongcheng blinked his eyes, as optimistic as a young man in his early twenties.
Yin Qi said to herself doubtfully, "I really don't know where your confidence comes from. I hope you don't mess it up."
Zhang Dongcheng chuckled, took out a pack of cigarettes, picked out one and started smoking.
The two breakers quickly crossed the platform, followed the team in front, and entered the Clave Gate.
Every time he passed through the Clough Gate, Tianyang had a brief sense of trance, as if he had crossed some invisible boundary. The moment he passed through the gate, he felt cold and chilly, and an illusory and overlapping roar rang in his ears.
This phenomenon occurs to almost every traveler in the Reverse Realm, and everyone's experience is different. Those who are particularly sensitive and psychologically fragile may even experience auditory hallucinations after entering and exiting the Clave Gate many times.
At this time, they need to receive psychological counseling and psychiatric treatment, otherwise they are likely to develop mental illnesses.
In addition, staying in the adversity for too long can easily lead to psychological illness, so the fortress stipulates that no matter whether you are an ascender or an ordinary person, no matter what your job position is, you are not allowed to stay in the adversity for more than one month.
But it is unknown how long this expedition will last, so there are several experienced psychologists in the accompanying medical team.
They will promptly resolve the expeditionary forces' psychological problems, and with the glorious companion Xun, these psychologists will be guaranteed not to develop mental illness earlier than others.
The brilliance of rank 4, just being around them gives you a wonderful feeling of calmness.
After entering the reverse world, Tianyang took the high-speed train to the lighthouse base. He was very familiar with this journey.
Unlike Sean and other team members, he did not curiously look at the almost eternal dim scene outside the window. Tianyang took out the communicator and reviewed the relevant information of this "expedition plan".
The information was provided by the Night Walker Command, but it was not detailed enough. Even the route map only provided the starting section.
That section of the route map starts from the highway at the entrance to the Netherworld Secret Realm and extends into the depths of the Reverse Realm. If the blank space in front of the Secret Realm Highway is ignored, the route of this incomplete map can overlap with the 'Nanli Base Route Map'.
The data showed that the map obtained by Fortress was found in the Netherworld Secret Realm. If this was true, then the Dusk Clan might have tracked down the Old Black Clan.
Tianyang remembered the murals in the dusk sacrificial hall, and the strange snake with a human face all over its body. Yexing said that the old black people took away the "beacon" in the secret realm.
That is the tool to open the secret realm.
Apparently the old criminals were planning to make a comeback, although it seemed later that they had not appeared again.
However, this did not prevent the Twilight Clan from making the decision to track them down. Perhaps the Twilight King, who had not yet split his consciousness and was still able to make correct judgments, wanted to track down the old black people's lair and wipe them out once and for all, eliminating the trouble forever.
So there was this route map in the secret realm. Unfortunately, later on, the Dusk King split the Night Star. Probably because of this, there was no further development.
Until now.
Part of the expedition route overlapped with the route of the 'Nanli Base', but unfortunately there was no complete map for comparison, and Tianyang was not sure where the end point of the expedition would be.
I had to put this matter aside for the time being and see if Ye Xing could dig out the key information in the fortress's database.
Make judgments.
He reviewed the rest of the information.
It is not easy to live in the adverse world. It is better for the Night Walker team like Tianyang. Night Walkers usually complete one or two tasks in the adverse world and then return to the fortress to rest for a while.
They usually don't stay in the Reverse for more than two weeks.
As for those who work in various bases or need to stay in the Reverse Realm for a long time for other reasons.
There are many more problems that need to be solved.
Among them, water source is a problem.
The water used in each base is partly provided by clean water regularly delivered from the fortress outside the Clough Gate; the other part is provided by the base's water purification system.
There is another problem, which is sunlight. There is no sunlight in the adversity world. Living in the adversity world for a long time in an environment without sunlight will easily cause problems to the human body.
The star energy in the body of the sublimator has certain characteristics similar to sunlight. Therefore, the sublimator does not have this problem.
Ordinary people can't do that.
If they go more than two weeks without sunlight, they are put under synthetic light at base, which most soldiers jokingly call 'physiological disinfection'.
Since most of the bases in the Reverse World can solve these two biggest needs, humans can continue to explore in the Reverse World.
The radius of exploration is limited by the round-trip journey to the base and must not exceed three weeks.
However.
The expeditionary force will be far away from the base and will definitely not be able to travel back and forth within three weeks. Originally, Skyfort did not have the conditions and technical means to carry out the expedition, but now it dares to do so because it has received resources from the Golden Court.
Among them is a multi-purpose base vehicle equipped with a water purification and water circulation system and a synthetic light room.
This vehicle is like a small mobile base. One base vehicle can meet the living needs of 70 to 100 people.
The Golden Council donated a total of ten vehicles to the Skyforge, and this time, the expeditionary force received six base vehicles as the trump card for this unprecedented exploration operation.
In addition, the Golden Council also provided an information device capable of breakpoint transmission, allowing the expeditionary force to maintain contact with the fortress so as not to lose information support due to going too deep into the adverse world.
It is precisely because of this support that the Fortress has the confidence to organize an in-depth exploration of this scale.
Now, the base vehicles and various equipment used for the expedition have been transported to the lighthouse base in advance. We can set off as soon as all the personnel arrive.
Tianyang was looking at the information when he suddenly felt something and someone sat down next to him.
He controlled the urge to frown and looked to the side calmly. What he saw was a male face with crow's feet at the corners of his eyes. He was already quite old. It was Zhang Dongcheng, the man who broke the formation.
"Do you mind if I sit here?" Zhang Dongcheng smiled in a very masculine way.
Unfortunately, Tianyang is not a little girl and doesn’t feel anything about this. The boy protested quietly in his heart: You’ve already sat down.
"I know you."
Zhang Dongcheng gently nudged Tianyang with his shoulder: "You are very good. In less than a year, you have already reached the rank 5. This speed of promotion is simply terrifying."
Tianyang looked confused, not quite understanding what Zhang Dongcheng was trying to do.
The man's words sounded like those of people who were jealous of his rapid promotion and wanted to cause some trouble.
But there was no sense of malice from him, it was just that the way he made faces made it seem like he was planning something.
"I just
I was just lucky." Tian Yang took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Zhang, do you want to talk to me about something?"
Zhang Dongcheng laughed: "It's so polite to call you sir."
"Uncle Zhang?" Tianyang tried to throw out a title, and then he found that the expression of the man next to him became a little strange.
"Look at me."
"I am still young."
"I'm at the most attractive stage of a man, so I don't think I'll be called 'uncle' by a guy anyway."
Zhang Dongcheng said seriously.
Tian Yang's mouth twitched. Looking at the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, he called out against his will, "Brother Zhang."
"Well, that's more like it."
Zhang Dongcheng was very happy and gently bumped Tianyang with his shoulder. This seemed to be his gesture of goodwill, but Tianyang didn't quite understand it.
"Come on, it's still early before we get to the Lighthouse Base, let's go practice."
Tianyang asked carefully: "What is Lianlian?"
Zhang Dongcheng raised his hands and made boxing gestures: "Just sparring, sparring."
Tian Yang gently rubbed his brows, and said with a headache: "No need, I definitely can't beat you anyway."
Zhang Dongcheng laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't use my full strength. Besides, as a formation breaker, I think I still have a little bit to teach you."
This reminded Tianyang of the time when the captain gave him instructions in this train carriage during his first mission.
"Okay, then please give me some advice, Brother Zhang."
Hearing that Tianyang was going to compete with Zhang Dongcheng, everyone in the carriage became interested, especially the members of the Galaxy Team. Even Yanbing stood up and followed the two people in front of him to the fighting compartment.
When passing through the aisle of the carriage, Tianyang saw a person.
Yin Qi.
She leaned against the aisle, her eyes deep as she scanned the crowd.
When Zhang Dongcheng passed by, he was stopped by her.
"Is this your idea?" Yin Qi's eyes were full of suspicion.
Zhang Dongcheng said with a smile: "Not bad, right? When fighting, men can always understand each other more intuitively."
"After this fight, we are good friends."
Yin Qi had the urge to cover her face with her hands: "Where did you get this theory from?"
Zhang Dongcheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "The captain and I just got to know each other through fighting."
Yin Qi sighed: "Be careful."
"I know."
In the fighting box, Zhang Dongcheng took off his equipment and said, "No weapons, no abilities. I'll give you another discount. No matter what method you use, if you fall to the ground, I lose."
Tian Yang also placed the newly acquired 'Xing Han' and 'Moonlight' side by side: "Is that okay? That would be too much of an advantage for me."
Zhang Dongcheng laughed and shook his head: "Don't look at me like this, I can be considered a veteran of many battles. And the battles we fight are different from those you encounter in your exploration, so just come at me."
I have faced off against ghost carriages, killed lurkers, fought against the Black Prince, experienced family competitions, and confronted ancient beings... All in all, my experience is no less than that of others.
Facing the man who could break the formation, Tianyang was not afraid at all. His confidence was also forged through thousands of trials and tribulations.
"careful."
Tianyang reminded the other party and rushed over...
