The Last Gentleman

Chapter 37: The world and the gray area

Views:

books,

The thing that Yi Chen was best at during his lifetime.

With this new profession of student,

He had no idea how quickly he turned the pages, spending no more than one second on each page, which was the same as drinking water.

It only took me ten minutes to finish reading the entire World History.

The whole brain becomes refreshed because of reading, and gains unprecedented mental satisfaction.

All the information about the plate structure of this world is stored in the brain.

This place has certain similarities with the Earth where Yi Chen lived during his lifetime. It is mainly divided into land and ocean, accounting for 37.1% and 62.9% respectively.

The land consists of a supercontinent and five surrounding continents.

Supercontinent-Middle-Earth

* Huge, almost equal to the total area of all continents.

1. Shambles

*The continent with the most suitable climate for living things, the most developed animal husbandry, and the most meat exports. It even looks like a steak on the map.

2. Everglade

*Most of the area is covered by rainforests. It is also the continent with the world's largest rainforest. It has nurtured many ancient civilizations and a large number of primitive tribes that are out of touch with the times.

The coastal areas are seriously affected by modern industry.

Most of them are port cities, with fishing and timber industries as the main industries.

3. San-Carlos

*A continent dominated by plains. It looks square on the map, with almost no mountains and many rivers. It is the most populous continent besides the Central Region, and the number of developed countries distributed in this continent is second only to the Central Region.

4. Quechua

*Mostly composed of mountains and valleys, the entire continent has a very rich vertical structure and abundant mineral veins, which naturally attracts a large amount of capital. The countries here mainly export raw materials, and large factories and rows of giant chimneys can be seen in almost every city.

The land masses are arranged in vertical strips, with the northern part close to the pole, where the mountains are covered with snow all year round.

It is worth mentioning that this is also the continent where Yi Chen is located.

G&D's headquarters, the city of Zion, is located on one of the highest peaks close to the central mountain range, surrounded by mountains, occupying a high point and relatively hidden.

5. Broken-Islands

*This is the only continent located in the Southern Hemisphere, and tens of thousands of years ago, a strong earthquake caused the plates to separate and turned into thirteen islands.

Each island has a country, which is relatively underdeveloped.

The above is a rough outline of this world.

One thing worth noting is that there is a small text attached to the lower right corner of the world map marked with an asterisk.

The map was drawn in the 50th year before the Pathogenic Era

"The Pathological Era... In other words, when "pathological symptoms" began to appear all over the world and posed an irreversible threat to human society, did people start to re-count the years

How many years is it now

Little Grape responded:

"According to the integrated memory in my head, it should be the 371st year of the Pathological Era.

The connection between our continent, Quechua, and other continents and the Central Region was completely severed about two hundred years ago.

I have already stated the reason before.

The spread of the Gray Zone has forced the end of the electrical age, caused technological regression, and all the connection facilities once built by human society have been abandoned.

No one knows what happened to the other continents, and no one knows if Quechua is the only continent with survivors.

How about it, do you feel a little desperate? 』

"No... It's very interesting. This feels like an adventure, doesn't it?"

By the way, aren't the clothes we wear able to resist disease and explore the gray area

There are so many talented people in the organization. If we make full preparations and send out a team of strong people like Chamberson or even a large army to conduct expeditionary exploration, we should be able to reach other continents, right? 』

"Don't think it's that simple.

The gray area is quite dangerous, and there are also gradient differences.

The most terrifying gray area, the pathogens inside are catastrophic level - even if you don't touch it, just getting slightly close will turn it into ashes.

The gray area that you passed through in the carriage before was just the lowest level that had just been formed.

Moreover, the carriage itself has resistance properties, and you are just passing through quickly as passers-by... Real exploration is extremely dangerous. 』

"Little Grape, your memory seems to have increased?"

"Huh? Maybe it has something to do with me swallowing that giant eye, which allowed the fragmented memories in my brain to be combined more. In the future, please feed me more delicious grapes, and maybe I can remember more useful things. "

"Then let's talk about the gradient problem of gray area."

At Yi Chen's request,

Little Grape directly transferred this memory file through his consciousness.

Different gray areas,

It is divided into five levels according to the degree of pathology, time and the influence of certain unknown factors.

Thin

Middling

Severe

forbidden

dead

In areas covered by gray areas, their species composition, landform structure and even the most fundamental spatial structure may change, posing unpredictable dangers.

Gentlemen between organizations usually explore the gray areas of the first three levels.

The fourth level gray area is almost impossible to complete a comprehensive exploration.

It is already quite amazing to be able to obtain some props and information from the fourth-level gray area and escape intact.

As for the fifth level,

Little Grape's memory fragments did not record too much, he only knew that once he entered, it would be impossible to get out.

High-level gray areas are randomly distributed in the oceans between the continents.

This is also the main reason why the continents cannot establish communication. Going out to sea recklessly will only lead to death.

After understanding the basic situation of the world and the gray area,

Yi Chen's curiosity was also fully amplified, and he wanted to know more, especially the origin of the disease.

Unfortunately, I searched the entire bookcase but couldn't find any books related to the disease.

And there is no information about the origin of the disease in Little Grape's memory fragments.

Coo coo coo!

The white owl that was originally standing in the corner had landed on a nearby branch without anyone noticing.

A gentle and slightly old male voice uttered from its beak:

“There are books about illness that cannot be written.

Even if it is just a textual, seemingly insignificant connection, it is possible for the book to become a 'pathogenic medium', transmitting unknown pathogens.

What you want to know can naturally be learned in the course of "Pathology".

However, even the best teachers in this academy, even the most knowledgeable gentlemen in Zion City, only have a superficial or slightly deeper understanding of the disease.

If you want to know more, become stronger."

With that, the owl turned around and flew back to its original position.

"knew."

Yi Chen was not surprised at all about this talking owl. After all, there were even stranger little things on his shoulders.

Anyway, I'm bored.

Moreover, the reading process just now was so enjoyable that Yi Chen simply read all the books in the bookcase at once... Reading produced a large amount of dopamine, and the whole person became more and more excited during the reading process.

Even the basic attribute of intelligence is slightly improved (
