When Little Grape's body was immersed in Yi Chen's body,
Its consciousness was dragged to a special ward by an irresistible force and imprisoned there.
A silver-haired young man was sitting on the bed by the window, and the moonlight that seeped into the ward just bathed the young man.
When he turned his head, Little Grape's hair instantly exploded.
"Are you William's friend? The composition is very complicated... Do I need to perform some dissection on you to get a deeper understanding? Or can you tell me your origin yourself?"
"Help!" Little Grape was about to cry. It had no idea why Yi Chen's body had turned into a Moon Mark Ward.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just kidding. I just asked William for help this time. I will stay in his body for a while and take a rest. I will leave when I reach the old world.
Thank you for your guidance during this period of time, Mr. Grip."
…
Inside the Galloping Carriage
Yi Chen was not worried about Xiao Putao's situation because he had already agreed with Yue Hen in advance that if Xiao Putao had any problems, the transaction between them would be terminated immediately.
Now all we have to think about is the next mountain climbing journey.
Unlike the other two teams,
The carriage carrying them will drive directly to the foot of Mount Greyfriar and take the three to the mountain route chosen by pilgrims in the past - a pilgrimage route full of suffering, steepness and ruggedness.
When half of the scheduled journey time had passed, the driver's hoarse voice, like that of a zombie, came from the front.
"We are about to enter the gray area of Mount Greyrell. You can use the "film windows" to observe the environmental conditions of the incident area in advance."
The so-called film window is a kind of "visual isolation window", which is made by processing the gentleman's leather into a film, retaining its characteristics while allowing the film's transparency to reach more than 80%.
Due to the high cost of the craftsmanship, ordinary carriages are not equipped with it.
Each bed in the special carriage that everyone rode in was equipped with a film window.
Jin is still sleeping soundly.
Yi Chen and Reagan, who were sitting on the lower bunk, slid open the wooden partition at the same time, and a nearly transparent film appeared in front of them.
Except for a few capillary-like threads left between the membranes to transport nutrients, there is almost no obstruction to the field of vision.
Through the film, one can clearly see that the carriage is galloping on a relatively wide road.
The road and the woods on both sides were filled with gray fog.
1. The roads paved with gravel and clay actually bubbled like liquid, and some sections even had huge bulges that were red and swollen, expanding and contracting with the rhythm of breathing, and even oozing pus.
Sometimes you can even see some strange life forms crawling on the road. When you look closer, you will find that they are abnormal structures made up of sand, gravel and animal flesh and blood, crawling unconsciously on the road.
The driver drove the special horses in an S-shape on the distorted road, trying to avoid the diseased structures as much as possible.
2. The trees on both sides of the road seemed to be activated as if they were injected with consciousness. There were organs similar to eye structures between the barks, watching the passing carriages.
Some of the more active trees will pick their own fruits or those of other trees and chew and swallow them in their festering mouths.
You can even see two trees fighting each other, with the weaker one being pinned to the ground and the winner using its mouth to tear off the bark one by one and suck the sap inside.
The winning trees will show noticeable thickening of the trunk, hardening of the branches, and production of additional and larger fruits during the feeding process.
After tasting this sweetness, it will continue to attack other trees and continue to accelerate its own growth. Eventually, it may evolve into a purely plant-based patient, so that the whole area has a feeling of a plant battle royale.
Occasionally, some strange creatures would pop out from the forest.
For example, at this moment, a white shadow suddenly jumped out from the woods and blocked the front of the carriage at an exaggerated distance of more than ten meters.
A closer look revealed that it was a bunny man, with a cute furry bunny head on a muscular body.
The crimson-eyed boy stared at the intruding carriage and stretched out his diseased muscular arms, trying to forcibly intercept it.
Bang! A dull gunshot rang out on the road.
The rabbit's head and upper body instantly turned into minced meat and became nutrients for the road.
The driver blew away the muzzle dust as usual, and with a flick of his hand he inserted the thick-barreled shotgun into the gun slot beside him.
As long as there is no seriously ill person blocking the road, the driver can solve the problem quickly and will not delay the journey.
In the carriage, Yi Chen looked carefully at the gray environment outside the window. In his eyes, the biggest feature of this thin gray environment was that it was activated and mixed with a certain amount of chaos.
"In contrast to the non-natural gray area that broke out in Shebolt Village, the villagers were living a life worse than death under the influence of the combined disease and became the production tools of the church.
This natural gray area is obviously much better. Putting aside the pathological label, at least the creatures here still maintain their own identity and are not tortured. Instead, they live in a completely new way according to their own will.
Unfortunately, unnatural ash fields can be contained and eliminated as long as the source of ashification is killed.
The natural gray area is an influence that spreads directly from the old world. With the formation of channels, the degree of graying continues to deepen. Existing means are unable to eliminate the spread of the natural gray area and can only slow it down at best.
Because of this, sooner or later even Zion, which is built on a high mountain and is known as the 'last refuge', will be shrouded in the gray region."
Because the film window has sufficient ductility,
Yi Chen pressed his entire face against it, like a flesh-like mask, and slowly poked his head out of the car.
Looking forward along the road,
As the name of Mount Greyrel suggests, a mountain with a narrow middle section and shaped like a holy grail is located not far away. It is nearly a thousand meters high and is shrouded in a thick, flowing fog layer that looks like a living thing.
The fog covered the entire mountain like slime, and only a rough outline could be seen. It even felt like the entire mountain was coming alive.
"The transitional gray zone from thin to medium? This is my first time to come into contact with it... According to the records in the book, every time the gray zone rises to a certain level, the internal environment will undergo a qualitative change.
If it approaches the medium gray area, even the most resistant inorganic substances will become sick.
Even the basic structure of the environment will change under the influence of the gray area, and some "super-real structures" that are not normally seen will appear. Not to mention humans, even some patients will get lost in it.
It takes some sort of rules, or even old-world methods, to find the right path.
My eyes should be fine with the characteristics of my profession, and I also have the help of a perceptual genius like Reagan."
Compared to worry, Yi Chen was more excited about exploration.
As the carriage left the road and quickly passed through the distorted forest for a while, it finally stopped at the foot of a mountain.
"Jin, we should go!"
Yi Chen knocked on the edge of the upper bunk.
When Jin opened her eyes, her pupils actually showed a rare red lotus shape, which meant that she was in excellent condition. She didn't feel sleepy at all even if she didn't sleep for at least two days.
And this time she became rare and serious.
No more suits,
Instead, he wore a coat specially designed by Mr. Yin Wan, which was suitable for the combat style of Jin. 80% of the gentleman's skin was also concentrated on this coat.
Jin chose not to wear it either in normal times or during missions because he was concerned about the restrictiveness of the leather.
However, when faced with the gray area gradually changing from thin to medium, considering the impact on the body, I still choose to use the isolation effect of "Gentleman's Skin".
A hooded dark red leather coat with metal buckles and diagonal drawstrings that give it a slimming effect while increasing the stability of the garment during combat.
The leather case on the back of the coat is just big enough to hold Jin's weapon, and the long sword that exudes a new breath is carried on his back.
The moment he put on his coat and hood, his whole demeanor changed.
The closed structure of the coat suppressed Jin's mental madness.
The crimson color used exudes the theme of red lotus and killing, making her more threatening and more like the most threatening executioner in the organization.
When Yi Chen saw Jin's new outfit, before he had time to comment, Lorian's voice came from his body.
"Your girlfriend is pretty good~"
