There are three strange phenomena in the Miasma Sea:
Soul chain.
All souls cry.
Everything was silent.
The three visions appear alone each time, and their appearance time and duration are irregular.
The vision affecting Wu Chan and others at this moment is the soul chain. Humans cannot see the chain, but they can feel its shape.
It seems to be the lightest glass in the world, its weight is negligible, but it is definitely not glass, not even solid. When a weapon hits a chain, it passes through it like water, unable to cause any damage.
However, when the distance between two people connected by the same chain exceeds the maximum length of the chain, the chain will be broken. Like a curse, the two people will lose their sight in an instant until the next miasma phenomenon occurs.
The Old City is a place where fighting can happen at any time. Fighting will cause people to move out of position, and chains can be broken if they are not careful. People who are suddenly deprived of vision will only die.
Wu Chan and Tu Shuang carefully tested the length of the chain. When their palms felt that the chain was almost stretched, they immediately stopped, about fifteen steps apart. This means that before the soul chain disappears automatically, Wu Chan and Tu Shuang must not only act together, but also not be too far apart.
The distance between Xiao Song and Du Guang was thirty steps.
Three steps, three steps, three steps, twenty steps apart between two brothers.
The distance between Chu Kuang and Ma Sang was the longest, more than fifty steps.
"If there is a ninth person, then he doesn't have to worry about being dragged down by his pig teammates." Xiao Song said.
Ma Sang said sternly: "Why do you still have such wrong thoughts?"
Wu Chan thought Ma Sang was criticizing Xiao Song for hating his teammate Du Guang, but Ma Sang continued: "Always remember, the miasma is cunning, and those who are alone are the most dangerous!"
Seeing that the boss was losing his temper, Xiao Song quickly nodded and said: "Remember, remember."
The miasma is cunning.
Wu Chan felt that these four words used by Ma Sang could not be more correct.
The soul chain will make people "pair up in pairs". According to this logic, people who act alone are not affected. Early treasure hunters regarded this situation as a loophole in the miasma, but later discovered that it was a huge trap!
The treasure hunter thinks that he is "acting alone" if he has no teammates and no one else within the visible range. However, the maximum connection limit of the soul chain is five hundred meters, as long as there is another living person within the range. The soul chain will quietly connect the two.
The two people, unaware of each other's existence, would break the chain if they took just a few steps, causing their vision to suddenly go dark.
Therefore, the phenomenon of miasma sea is a great test of the treasure hunter's experience and reaction. If you are not careful, something big will happen. This is also one of the most important reasons why Wu Chan does not want Gong Tiantian and Gan Xiaoyi to enter the old city.
It is impossible for Wu Chan and Iron War Horse's people to stay in the secret base until the soul chain disappears automatically, because no one can predict when the next miasma phenomenon will occur. Maybe as soon as the soul chain disappeared this time, the miasma sea phenomenon was immediately refreshed, and it was also a soul chain.
Because Wu Chan was connected to Tu Shuang's chain, he had to continue to act with the Iron War Horse for the time being.
Wu Chan drove an armored truck behind Iron War Horse's convoy, and Tu Shuang sat in the co-pilot.
Her face had been red since she got in the car.
You must know that the cab is a confined space where two people can be alone. Before today, she had never thought of such a good thing.
She thought she would have many topics to talk to Wu Chan after getting in the car, but at the moment she couldn't say a word.
Tu Shuang couldn't tell whether she was nervous or reserved. The only thing she could do was occasionally peek at Wu Chan's side face. The oxygen in the cab seemed to be getting less and less, and Tu Shuang felt that his face was getting hotter and hotter.
"If you feel stuffy, you can open the window."
Wu Chan suddenly spoke.
Tu Shuang was startled, thinking that he had been caught peeking.
"It's okay, I think it's fine."
Wu Chan didn't say anything and silently lowered the car window a crack. The wind blew in, and Tu Shuang felt much more comfortable, so she also lowered the car window on her right, and her short hair fluttered slightly in the wind.
The convoy drove onto a relatively complete road, and the armored trucks began to speed up.
Ashes fell like snowflakes, and towering trees and tall buildings covered with giant fungi swept past in the distance. The sky was as dim as dark clouds, and the earth was blackened by endless ashes. The sky and the earth extended and intersected. And black breeds evil.
Several tall gray figures with four hooves walked among the gaps in the giant trees. They were as tall as giraffes, but they did not have long necks. The birds flew down from the tree canopy, rushing towards the giant fungus on the outer wall of the high-rise building like a collective suicide, and were then hunted by hundreds of snake-like tentacles that burst out.
"This is how zombies get their food," Tu Shuang said.
"It's afternoon tea at most." Wu Chan said.
Tu Shuang raised the window, and the wind noise disappeared, and the cab suddenly became much quieter. After a while, she asked casually.
"What kind do you like?"
"Which aspect?" Wu Chan asked.
"Of course... weapons." Tu Shuang said,
"Anyone you can find is fine, I won't pick." Wu Chan said.
"No matter how much you like, there will always be someone you fall in love with, otherwise it would be too much trouble." Tu Shuang said.
"Huh?" Wu Chan.
"I mean you should have a weapon that you are particularly good at. I know you are very strong in stick skills." Tu Shuang said.
"That's what the role in the movie requires." Wu Chan said, "Every weapon of mine is very strong. If I have to rank first and second, spear and sword skills are better."
"They are all cold weapons." Tu Shuang was slightly disappointed, "Don't you like weapons that rely on energy-releasing devices to provide firepower?"
"Be specific." Wu Chan said.
Tu Shuang wanted to talk about the ballista directly, but felt that the hint was too obvious, so he changed the direction.
"For example, Nv Ye Mei's pistol. Do you think it looks good?"
Tu Shuang himself has short, stylish hair, while the female Ye Mei has long hair that hangs over her shoulders.
"Including machine guns, this kind of shooting weapon essentially compresses the energy generated by the energy release device to push the warhead out of the long metal tube. If you think about it carefully, it is the same as a blowgun. The reason why Ye Mei's pistol is precious is It’s because manufacturing an energy release device of such a small size requires very delicate processing and cannot be mass-produced,” Wu Chan said.
"Yeah." What Tu Shuang wanted to hear was not serious science popularization, he didn't want to hear any of it...
"Then... what do you think of weapons like ballistas?"
"It is the most powerful shooting weapon that an individual can carry, but it has pros and cons. It is too heavy." Wu Chan said.
"It's not serious." Tu Shuang tried hard to control his emotions, "Not at all."
"That's because you have strong arms. Very few women can do what you do." Wu Chan said.
"I'm not a strange girl!" Tu Shuang said.
"In this wasteland world, strength is a good thing." Wu Chan said.
"Liar." Tu Shuang said.
"Huh?" Wu Chan.
"In the end, you will only choose women who are delicate and frail." Tu Shuang said.
Wu Chan thought for half a second.
"You may have misunderstood. Men do not choose them because they are delicate and frail, but simply because they are good-looking."
"..." Tu Shuang.
While talking, the convoy in front stopped.
Ma Sang's voice sounded on the car's intercom: "Brother Wu, we're here, our parking lot is ahead."
Another voice immediately sounded on the intercom.
"Boss, don't get out of the car."
Xiao Song spoke very quickly and urgently.
"There's an ambush!"
