the last gentleman

Chapter 170 Lesion



Chapter 170 Lesion
Old World, also known as Focus of Infection.

Yi Chen had read a brief introduction about the old world in the basic collection area of ​​the big library. This matter was not kept as a secret, but was fully disclosed to the organization.

The organization has been established for so many years, and countless outstanding gentlemen have been sacrificed, and this has been determined through a large number of investigations.

All diseases are not self-produced by the world, but are directly or indirectly infected from the old world, which is the source of disease and the gathering place of the roots of all diseases.

On the title page of the book, there is a sentence left by the founder of the organization, as well as a picture.

"We are not ill, it'd come to us"

The drawings are divided into three parts:

1. It outlines a planet that represents human life. The central region and the five continents are clearly marked on it, which is completely normal and no problem.

2. In addition to our planet, there is also a living planet on the right, with pus, festering and even tentacles that can float in space, but the whole planet is pierced by a giant sword.

3. This sick planet has successfully approached through the floating of its tentacles, sticking to the back of the human planet like a tumor.Later, through the drilling of the tentacles, small holes are formed in this world, and the diseases it carries spread through these small holes and gradually assimilate.

The sick planet represents the old world, and the hole represents the passage.

of course,

This is just a greatly simplified legend that is convenient for most people to understand. The real situation needs to be correctly expressed through high-dimensional graphics.

According to the description in the book, the old world as a lesion was locked in all directions for some reason, including the cessation of the continuity of time and the expansion of space.

no normal air to breathe,
The simple exothermic chemical reaction corresponding to the kerosene lamp cannot occur,

Such a completely locked world is like a human being nailed to the bed. All organs are removed, all blood vessels are tied, all muscles are disconnected, and even a scalpel is inserted through the brain.

Should have died straight away,
However, the [Old World] is like a zombie. Not only does it not die, but it is still breeding germs in its body. The source of the disease hidden in the depths is still alive in some way.

Or by the swimming of tentacles,
Or spray a lot of metabolites,

Such a lesion world can still wander between dimensions even when it is locked, randomly attaching to a normal world, absorbing the nutrients in it and passing the disease over.

The above is the basic information that Yi Chen read in the books.

However, there is no mention of the structure of the old world, the living conditions in the old world, the distribution of forces, etc., and you need to explore it yourself.

"Lorian, when did you separate from me? 』

Facing Yi Chen's question, he waited for 1 minute before the voice came back:

"It's really disappointing... It's extremely disappointing~ I didn't expect the origin of the disease to be a dying place, and there is no hope at all.

The giant sword that came from nowhere probably killed this world countless epochs ago, no wonder it is attached to the back of the human world and connected by a [channel].

I'm not at all in a hurry to go out and experience this deadly place now, just stay in your body for a while, and when you have a chance to separate from your teammates or are forced to separate, I will separate from your body.

This is also for your consideration~ After all, once I strip it, it means that your right half of your body will be lost instantly.

Losing half of your body in such a dead world is very dangerous. As a small reward for bringing me here, I will give you a small surgery when you are separated. 』

"Row. 』

Beyond the temple lies the endless gray desert, the surface layer of the old world.

Many newcomers who came to the old world for the first time were like a headless chicken. Because they were afraid of losing the position of the [passage], they left without much exploration at all due to time problems.

According to Zion's internal statistics, only 8.1% of newcomers who arrived in the old world for the first time to explore the relics could bring back the relics.

Not to mention that some are just ordinary relics, they are not comparable to the black umbilical cord in Yi Chen's hand,

Some are also mixed with some elements of luck, such as kicking a hard object after wandering in the desert for a while, and picking it up is a fairly complete relic.

In other words, if there is no clear exploration goal [time of day], it will pass quickly, and individual consciousness will hesitate or be lost subjectively, and may even speed up the flow of time, feeling that several hours will pass in a blink of an eye.

Just when Yi Chen communicated with Lorian in his body for a while,

"This way!"

"There is a sense here~"

"Here... giggle!"

At the same time, three voices sounded in the team,
A voice came from Reagan. He touched the sand grains with his hands to try to release the electrical energy. The current that should have dissipated in a disorderly way actually spread along a certain direction.

A voice from Kim,

As soon as she came up, she immediately started digging the sand, stretching her arms as deep as possible into the sand, and then poking out the roots of the red lotus.

The red lotus, which is a "disease characteristic", actually reacted, and a red lotus grew on the surface of the sand not far away, as a special signpost for moving forward.

The third voice came from the little Pei on Jin's body. As an animal patient, it jumped to the ground as soon as it came to the old world, making a gesture of hatching eggs.

Unexpectedly, Xiaopei really hatched an egg, but it was a gray egg.

Because everything in the old world is blocked, including 'birth'...so this newly hatched egg is sure to die.

Hard, gray, like a boulder.

This dead egg did not sink into the sand when it landed, but rolled up and down among the undulating sand dunes, and rolled in a certain direction.

Even if the dead egg is picked up and put down again, it will still roll in a fixed direction.

but,

The direction of the electric current, the direction of the growth of the red lotus, and the rolling route of the dead egg are completely different, so multiple-choice questions arise.

Time is limited and decisions must be made immediately.

When Yi Chen was thinking quickly, Reagan pinched the fat on his face with two fingers, and gave his thoughts:

"William, you are able to overcome the risk of [Concentration Eye Syndrome] alone, which is enough to show that you have the ability to explore the relics alone.

Moreover, as the watchers said, what we have come into contact with this time is a brand-new, superficial, and least dangerous channel.

It seems to me that we are both capable of searching for relics on our own.

Now that you can spot three meaningful routes right from the start, it's better to just split up.

I will take the side of the current induction, and you and Miss Jin will each choose another path... Calculate the time, and we will meet at the temple in a day.

Strive to get our own and matching relics all at once. "

Jin immediately raised his right hand and agreed: "That's it~ Since it is the lowest difficulty of exploring the old world, it is necessary to strive for the greatest gain."

Yi Chen turned his attention to the two teammates and affirmed the proposal.

"One day later, we will meet in the temple! Remember, you must watch the time..."

When Yi Chen exhorted these words, he immediately approached Jin, took the initiative to give her a hug, and said next to her ear:

"Kim, remember, one day!"

Jin stretched out his hand and gently lifted up a corner of the mask, exposing his pink and thin lips, and turned his head against Yi Chen's earlobe.

"As I said, I will restrain myself in this completely unknown and hidden risk area, and I will try my best to survive. Once I die, it will not be fun...But William, don't play too hard, forget It's time."

between words,
Jin quickly reached into Yi Chen's shirt and stuck it to his right chest.

"I've felt it from the very beginning...the rhythm of your right body is different from usual. Although I don't know why you are hiding it from us, I still believe you.

Don't mess around, remember to meet on time in a day. "
