Chapter 169 The Other Side of the Passage
Chapter 169 The Other Side of the Passage
In the depths of the temple, a bonfire was burning.
The bonfire lit here does not use firewood, but pieces of armor that can be burned specially.
The armor pieces are supplied unlimitedly by the watcher, his special body can grow such armor pieces continuously, and the lit bonfire can burn in the depths of the ash field, which will have a good effect on suppressing other sick people and channel guards .
Everyone was asked to sit around the bonfire, thinking that a series of tests would be carried out before entering the passage,
Who knows that there is no so-called test at all, or that Yi Chen and others have passed the test when they stepped into the temple and avoided the black halberd,
Sitting in front of the campfire and just talking casually.
This watcher wearing a human-faced iron helmet looks dignified, but he actually likes to chat with newcomers like Yi Chen.
They asked all over from Zion's recent situation to their respective assessments to become gentlemen and their entry into the city. Occasionally, there would be a burst of mature and slightly naive laughter from under the iron helmet.
During small talk,
Everyone also watched five pieces of armor of different specifications grow out of the monitor's body with their naked eyes, and he threw them into the bonfire directly.
During the chat, the monitor also took the initiative to tell him some information about himself.
【Black Heavy Halberd-Olman Yoder】
One of the early executioners of the organization, one of the Black Knights (the title is now obsolete), is an important combat force of the organization.Later, he transformed into a monitor, his connection with the organization weakened, and he was no longer responsible for the killing work.
The cast iron helmet he wore and the black halberd in his hand were the equipment specially customized by the organization as a black knight at that time.
He was born in a knight family and qualified for the "Gentleman's Skin" modification authority. His original clothing design was a set of dark and heavy black armor.
Later, as the skin content increased, when it reached 50%, the armor actually fused with the body.
So much so that it seems that there is no clothes, but the actual body can achieve the defensive effect of armor... and can also grow full protective armor in some key battles, doubling the defense.
As he became familiar with the armor, he discovered more and more ways to use it,
For example, the 'suppression bonfire' that will be formed by burning armor,
Another example is that when Allman rushed to the [passage], he directly separated a large number of armor pieces and formed a deep-helmet war horse under his crotch, weighing several tons. Grinded to powder when waved.
Gentleman of pure physique,
Now at the age of eighty, he has become stronger every year because of his limit breakthrough, ignoring the constraints of age.
During the chat, Yi Chen could clearly feel Alman's 'loneliness'.
Because he has been away alone for a long time, he basically has no chance to communicate with others. Now he meets three young people who are not weaker than him in talent level, and he can't wait to recount his life experience in detail before the bonfire.
"Mr. Allman, can't you go back to Zion?" Yi Chen suddenly asked a key question.
The man under the cast iron mask gave a reply after a moment of silence:
"Once I stop running around and settle down in a temporarily comfortable place, the seeds of [laziness] will be planted in my heart.
The world is sick, and sooner or later, a place like Zion will still be swallowed by the gray field.
In order to truly continue human civilization, it is necessary to cultivate enough human beings who can live normally in the gray area before then. Even if the body is already inclined to the sick, it doesn't matter as long as the humanity can be maintained.
If I give up my duties as a watcher due to laziness, it will reduce the cultivation rate of talents, and you will not meet me here today. "
Hearing this, Yi Chen and Reagan stood up and saluted.
"The three of you are quite good, you can maintain absolute composure in front of my black halberd, and if you are not overwhelmed, it means that you are qualified to go to the other side.
Come on, let's take a look at the [Channel] first, and then talk to you about the specific rules. "
I lit the kerosene lamp at my waist and followed Mr. Allman all the way to the deepest part of the temple. A very ordinary looking stone wall stood in front of everyone.
Yi Chen, who combined vision with Little Putao, quickly saw the difference,
"is it here?"
Yi Chen pointed to a stone brick in the upper right corner of the wall.
"Can you tell it at a glance? Have you absorbed the [Concentration Eye Syndrome] that affected you along the way?"
Yi Chen scratched the back of his head, "That's right."
Snapped!
Allman directly used his exaggerated giant hand to forcefully buckle the stone out,
From a geometric point of view, the back of this stone corresponds to the outside of the temple.
But as the stone was taken out, what was revealed was a bottomless horizontal passage...Even if Yi Chen gazed into the depths, he couldn't see the end.
The tunnel is just big enough to fit a person in, and it can only be crawled.
"You will be the first 'outsiders' to enter this passage,
Since the passage has only been formed for less than a month and only touched the surface of the old world, the probability of you being discovered is very low... As long as you don't deliberately die, you can basically come back alive.
I believe that your teachers or instructors in Zion have taught you the rules, so I will mention them here a little bit.
Since the 'time' of the old world has been sealed, it is difficult for individuals to judge the passage of time through their own senses, nor can they use any natural phenomena for reference.
Therefore, you need to bring 'time' to the past. "
Allman took out a special hourglass prepared in advance, and the sand contained in it was the gray sand obtained locally.
This kind of hourglass is small in size, and it will hardly be damaged if it is installed in a backpack, and once the timing is started, it will not be affected no matter how it is turned.
“[One day] This is the maximum time you newcomers can be active in the old world.
Once time passes, your risk of exposure will increase exponentially, and your mind and body will also be more susceptible to disease... If you return as a sick person, I may execute you on the spot.
Finally, I would like to remind you not to be too greedy.
Don't think about how precious and rare relics you want to get, no matter whether you get something or not, you must calculate the time and route of departure in advance.
You are still young, and you will still have the opportunity to execute the [Relic Event] in the future. "
"Go."
"See you in a day!"
In the same order, Yi Chen crawled first, Jin in the middle, and Reagan in the rear.
It was not easy for Reagan's obese figure to squeeze into the relatively narrow passage,
Everyone obviously felt that they hadn't crawled through the passages for a long time, but they couldn't see the exit behind them, and couldn't feel the pressure of the monitors, as if they were disconnected from the original world.
Lorian's voice came from within:
"It's so easy to let you enter the tunnel. I thought the human monitors would conduct quite strict inspections.Hurry up, I can't wait to see where the disease originated. 』
Since there was no danger in the passage, the team slowly accelerated their crawling speed.
I don't know how long it took, and finally reached the end of the passage.
It is very strange that the exit was blocked by a square stone similar to that of the temple, and he stretched out his hand to push it... Crack!The stones fell heavily to the ground.
The area where the passage is drilled is still a stone temple, and even the size of the space and the specifications of the stone pillars are exactly the same.
It's just that there are no watchers here, and there are no blazing bonfires.
The moment he climbed out of the passage, the kerosene lamp hanging on his waist went out directly, unable to burn.
The gentleman's clothing worn on the body creates a "leather mask" for everyone to breathe normally by turning up the collar and interweaving silk threads.
Both Yi Chen and Jin can feel the restlessness of the clothing, the "gentleman's skin" contained inside is slowly being consumed, and the skin content is slowly decreasing.
That's why the monitors repeatedly emphasized that the activity time of newcomers in the old world is limited to one day.
If the timeout expires, more than half of clothing with low leather content like gold will be consumed, the protective effect will be greatly weakened, the probability of infection will be greatly increased, and survival will not be guaranteed.
Of course, for a rookie like Yi Chen with high skin content, it might be possible to extend the time a little longer.
The hourglass opens, the countdown begins,
Stepping out of the temple, the sight in front of them made the three of them stop at the same time, staring wide-eyed at the horizon.
The vast sky is not obstructed by any vision, there are no clouds, no moving creatures, it seems to be covered with a gray curtain full of death.
A dark 'sun' hangs in the center of the world,
And this round of pitch-black sun was pierced by an unreasonable giant sword, and the sword body was even further inserted into the ground, as if to block and kill this world.
