Chapter 60: A place of confusion

Views:

Although the Land of Disorder is in the northern area of the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, not within the jurisdiction of the Human Federation, or even within the territory of the Galactic Alliance, it is not unreasonable for the Human Federation to set it as a forbidden zone. This rule is mainly aimed at mercenaries who are going to explore the North District. Simply put, if a mercenary is involved in an accident in the restricted zone delineated by the Federation, don't even think about getting support and assistance from the Federation.

The Chaos Land is a semi-open area, not a completely open space like the Chaos Star Territory that can be freely entered and exited.

The entrance is an abandoned warship with warnings such as "Forbidden Zone", "Danger", "Warning" and "Enter Caution" written in the lingua franca of the Galaxy, the lingua franca of the human federation, and hundreds of other civilization languages. It's just that for mercenaries, these warning slogans are useless.

The "Silent" was parked next to the abandoned spaceship, and Jackson had waited for a long time behind the airlock with four people.

"Follow me after going out, keep the distance within ten meters, don't pull too far, and don't get too close." Jackson glanced at the four of them. "There are space debris everywhere. If you accidentally fall into the space debris, God can't save you. If you see something strange or encounter something bizarre, don't panic. Simply put, don't believe it. And what you hear. Space debris will reflect the sights of other places, creating illusions similar to mirages. If you take it seriously, you will get lost in it. Finally, and most importantly, be optimistic about your weapons and don’t open fire indiscriminately. Otherwise, you are likely to hit yourself."

Jackson spoke very seriously, and the four listened very attentively.

"Are you ready?"

Yang Yi consciously put on protective clothing. Although all five of them have primary energy converters and can protect themselves by creating energy barriers, Jackson said before that space debris will interfere with the primary energy converters and gather together. Energy will attract nearby space debris, so it is best not to use a prime energy converter. To this end, Jackson provided a set of high-quality Class D protective clothing for each of the four.

When everyone put on their protective clothing, Jackson opened the airtight door.

The D-class protective suit is equipped with a jet propulsion system, and it is not difficult to fly to the entrance.

When he arrived at the entrance, Yang Yi clearly felt that the chaotic land was surrounded by a completely transparent wall of primordial energy. This was the masterpiece of the human federation.

Before the end of the Fifth Greenwich War, that is, when the two sides were in armistice negotiations, the entire Greenwich Meteor Belt was under the control of the Human Federation. At that time, no one believed that the war between the two major alliances would come to an end. The armistice agreement was just a dead letter. The Galactic Alliance has regained the lost ground, and there is not enough force to capture the entire Northern Alpha galaxy. The front of the Silicon Magic Alliance has almost completely collapsed, and the war has burned to the Northern Alpha Galaxy. It is urgent to make major adjustments to the combat deployment. Therefore, both sides have the need for a truce. That's why, before the armistice agreement came into effect, the Human Federation explored the entire North District and found dangerous areas including the Land of Chaos. Because there was no agreement on how to divide the Greenwich meteorite belt at that time, the Human Federation spent a lot of resources to isolate these dangerous areas and set them as restricted areas to avoid disasters and prohibit any personnel and spacecraft from entering.

"The place ahead is the place of confusion, everyone follows."

Jackson led the team, Yang Yi and Stevenson followed him, and Lin Feng and Clare kept a few meters away from each other.

After passing the invisible gate, Jackson stopped and took out a baseball-sized object.

Looking back at Yang Yi and others who followed, Jackson threw the object out.

It is a primary energy storage, which will release the primary energy inside at a set rate after activation. Because the primordial energy attracts space debris, it is possible to find nearby space debris through the diffused primordial energy, so as to avoid the space debris and find a safe passage into the chaotic place.

After using up more than a dozen Primal Energy Storage devices, the group finally came to the depths of the chaos.

Is it there

"Don't move!"

After being scolded by Jackson, Yang Yi immediately controlled his speed and stopped beside him.

Not far from the front is the "Kon-Barion Fortress", which is exactly the same as the photos shown by Jackson. It is simply an asteroid.

In fact, "Kuhn-Barion Fortress" was originally an asteroid.

At the end of the Fifth Greenwich War, when the Galactic Alliance launched a full-scale counterattack, the Silicon Charm Alliance dragged the asteroid from a nearby star system to the vicinity of the Greenwich Meteorite Belt, and also made a comprehensive transformation and completed it. Space fortress. Without this fortress, there are no more than a hundred warlords and thousands of warriors who guard the fortress, and the army of the human federation will drive straight in. Because it has never been invaded by the Galactic Alliance, the Silicon Charm Alliance may not be able to defend the local galaxy, and it is inevitable to lose ground. The "Peace Dawn" battle that is also being launched around this fortress has made the decision makers of the Galactic Alliance aware of the difficulty of capturing the Northern Alpha Galaxy.

Although many people sighed over the result of the "Peace Dawn" campaign, and Lian Zhan Ruilin was angry at the alliance's decision to negotiate a truce, but from another perspective, the Galactic Alliance a thousand years ago did not have the strength to conquer the entire Northern Alpha galaxy. If you advance desperately, as the battle line extends, it will surely become the end of the battle, and it will definitely be the Galactic Alliance that will suffer a disastrous defeat.

"How far is it?" Stevenson asked.

"I don't know." Jackson exhaled and said, "Last time, I stopped here, and none of the personnel sent to investigate the situation came back."

"You mean..."

"I waited here for five days. Not only did no one come back, nor did I receive any news. This is the central area of the Land of Disorder, surrounded by space debris, communication is severely disrupted, and the operating distance will not exceed the visible range. "Jackson glanced at the four people. "That is an illusion refracted by space debris. It looks close in front of you, maybe far away. If you are afraid, it is not too late to withdraw now."

Lin Fengfei came over and stated his position.

Krall also flew to Stevenson, without the intention of quitting.

"You didn't quit, I'm very happy. It's just that I don't know what I will encounter next. Anyway, I will be at the forefront."

"Let's go, time is of the essence." Yang Yi said.

Jackson didn't stop talking, and took out another primary energy storage.

This time, the four followed closely, and the distance between them was shortened to five meters, and they lined up in a single column with Jackson in front, followed by Stevenson, Yang Yi, Clare and Lin Feng. It is not that Yang Yi is polite and proactive, but deliberately let Stevenson go ahead. Stevenson did not deliberately maintain his position, indicating that he was not very vigilant towards Yang Yi, and perhaps did not regard Yang Yi as a threat.

As Jackson said, the density of space debris has increased several times in the center of the Dislocation, and the further it goes, the denser it is. In many cases, because he could not avoid the space debris in front of him, Jackson had to lead the team to get around, and no one wanted to have close contact with the space debris.

In fact, space debris and space jumping channels are essentially one thing.

The difference is that the jump channel is artificially manufactured and can be controlled with equipment. Space debris is naturally generated, and it is not only uncontrollable, but it is also unknown where the exit is. According to the "string theory" of analyzing jumping channels, coming out of space debris may appear anywhere in the universe, and may even appear in black holes, while the Alpha galaxy is only a corner of the vast universe.

A few hours later, Jackson stopped.

"Kuhn-Barion Fortress" is still in front, it seems that it is still so far away, not close, nor farther away.

"what happened?"

"We may be spinning in place." Jackson glanced at Stevenson who was approaching, and said, "Although the distance cannot be judged by the illusion, the distance we spent several hours with the fortress has not shortened. This is a maze. I'm afraid I will never reach the fortress."

"Now there is no way to go back."

When Yang Yi said so, Jackson looked back.

The exit from the place of confusion is still not far behind, and it doesn't seem to be any different from when you came in, but it is almost impossible to get back there.

"Everyone, I'm so sorry." Jackson felt very guilty.

At this point, he realized that entering the place of chaos itself was a wrong decision, because anyone would lose their way.

Don't even think about going out after you come in.

"Is this useful now?" Yang Yi laughed and said, "Anyway, we have at least been here, knowing that the'Kuhn-Barion Fortress' is here."

"But… "

"Brother Xiao is right. We can only move on. Retreating will only make the situation more complicated, and staying is not a way." Stevenson nodded to Yang Yi and said to Jackson again, " It’s our decision to come here with you, and you don’t have to apologize to us for that."

Jackson gritted his teeth and said, "However, the original energy storage I brought has been used up."

Stevenson was taken aback for a moment, and Yang Yi also showed a look of surprise. Jackson stopped suddenly, not in despair, but in the absence of the original energy storage for the pathfinder.

Now, the problem is coming.

Without the primary energy storage, there is no way to know if there is any space debris nearby. Although there is no external interference, the space debris will not move, but let alone move on, even if it only moves one step, it may fall into the space debris. Everyone is in a situation like standing in a minefield, wondering if there are mines at their feet.

what to do

As soon as Yang Yi was about to speak, he saw the look in Lin Feng's eyes. Thinking of Stevenson and Krall deliberately concealing their combat power, Yang Yi remained silent.

If Lin Feng's guess is correct, Stevenson and Krall will act.
