Chapter 118:
After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are better.
The three people at the table were eating happily, as if they didn't feel the chill that filled the whole room at all.
The faces of the people behind Mr. Qi were no longer livid and ugly. Maybe they were prepared for the black flag people to be difficult to contact, but now they were still annoyed by their unhesitating and unabashed attitude.
Compared with these people, Qi Lao was much better at cultivating his energy. At least there was no abnormal color on his face.
He told Zhang Cishun and Wen Yan about Feng Qi's affairs as if they were chatting. As he spoke, the topic inevitably turned to recent transactions.
The content of the transaction was the field coordinates and field rule characteristics that Wen Yan had told him before, which was also the information that Wen Yan had just pushed back before the meal.
"Actually, we had no intention of selling this information at the beginning, but something unexpected happened later. I wonder... do you two know about it?" Mr. Qi put down the tableware and asked.
Zhang Cishun didn't reply first. Wen Yan looked at him, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know." Mr. Qi's
eyes were a little suspicious, but they quickly dissipated. After laughing twice, he said,
"That Our own discovery of the coordinates of the place was also an accident. The convoy was decoupled in a storm, and we had to stop on the spot to repair and re-plan the route. You two should know that the route of the bus in this wilderness is different every time. It’s different, but based on the summary of the routes in previous years, you can find that there is actually no change in the general direction, only the small places have changed. After we decoupled, our original
plan was to stay where we were and see if we could wait for the next bus. arrived, but later when we were sorting out the supplies, we found that the supplies could not hold up to the arrival of the next vehicle, and... we actually couldn’t tell whether the next vehicle would arrive. In this way, we had to give up our station
. Plan and started to move forward according to the newly planned route. The first few days were actually fine. Except for encountering some wild animals, there were no other dangers. Until the fourth day, the people in the team began to dream. Every
day Everyone has a different dream, but the content is generally the same, that is, in the dream, we become another person. In just one night of dreaming, we experience the dreamer from birth to death. The length of a whole life.
After wandering in the wilderness for a long time, everyone basically knows what this is like. In addition to the attack by the Doomsday Beast, the only remaining influence is the field. The situation at that time was obviously not the former.
We at Fengqi are not proud to say that we have basically gone through many things in the wilderness, big and small, so except for some panic at the beginning, the people in the team quickly returned to normal operation." Mr. Qi seemed to be
recalling , there was unconcealable sadness in his eyes.
Zhang Cishun raised his head and glanced at his expression, thought for a moment, and said: "People walking in the wilderness often have little autonomy. Because what they want to do is not determined by human will, but by disasters on the road."
The emotions in Mr. Qi's brows slowly converged, and he said with a smile: "Yes, that's right." "
After we determined that the existence of the field affected us, we immediately began to retreat, and then explored the nature of the field. The location of the edge area."
"We were very lucky, at least at that time, because the fields we encountered were not invisible but extremely dangerous. Many fields in the wilderness could not be seen or even seen. Detected, there are some obscure fields that you don’t even know you have entered unless you enter them. Such fields will gradually turn people into non-human beings as time goes by. After we exit the field, we begin
to It is summarized.
Dreams and life.
These are two general directions. We are temporarily unable to locate the core of the triggering field. However, the scattered fleet has explored an arc zone based on testing of the field. Based on this, we slowly locked the possible coordinates of the core."
Zhang Cishun touched his chin and leaned his elbow on the armrest.
Wen Yan said: "Think of the field as a circle, and the core is the center of the circle. By exploring the edge of the circle and finally making a line, we can get a straight line, and the core is on this straight line. If the field If you explore the edge area of the domain long enough, you can lock the center of the circle at once." "
This is one method, but unfortunately we don't have that many people in Fengqi, and we don't have the conditions to open a huge front, so we just It can position twice and overlap the results obtained on both sides." Qi Lao stretched out his fingers and crossed the fingers of his two hands to form an X.
Zhang Cishun nodded to express his understanding.
In fact, when Wen Yan explained just now, a doubt flashed in his mind, because according to the method she said, there is no need to explore or even expand the area multiple times. Because once determined, adjustments can be made based on known information. For example - shorten the data on one side, so that the median, which is the line where the core is located, will be like a smaller and smaller <, spreading out in a double fan shape around the center of the circle.
But he soon rejected this method because he ignored a problem.
scale.
At distances ranging from thousands to thousands of meters, adjustments of tens or even hundreds of meters are insignificant.
"After locking the location of the core, the boys of our team gradually explored in depth. Because the closer to the core, the stronger the power of the field, especially when it comes to the core category of 'Dreamland', especially So. The team's progress is not fast, because we not only have to pay attention to the effects of the field, but also need to pay attention to the existence of secondary doomsday beasts in the field. But soon, we discovered that there is no secondary doomsday beast in this field. The figure of Doomsday Beast."
"Usually, this situation is rare and only exists during the period when the field is first formed. In addition, it can only be formed when the field itself has lethality. At that time We think it is more likely to be the former, because if it is the latter, we cannot be so safe and sound when we are hundreds of meters away from the field." "So, we are more certain that it
is a newly formed one. , a field related to 'dreams'.
But the accident happened at the moment when night fell. We thought that this field was related to dreams, but in fact, it was not entirely. It had part of dreams and also the night. Part of it."
Zhang Cishun frowned, what this old man said was a bit confusing. But he did not interrupt, but continued to listen.
"The boys on the team had rested for nearly twenty hours before entering the field, and they even brought injections with them for self-injection when they felt sleepy and exhausted. But the moment the sun disappeared, everyone was there. He fell down at this moment. He fell into a deep sleep without warning." "
We were watching this scene outside. After realizing that everyone had fallen, we started to recover the safety ropes on them as quickly as possible. I hope we can pull them out in time. But... it's still too late." "
We only rescued one person, and the bodies of the others began to dissipate under the dark night. They became nothingness, as if they had never been There is no similar dissipation. We continued to pull the safety rope, but after they dissipated, the safety rope had no resistance. Although we successfully retracted the safety rope, we could not save the person." "At that time, we
understood , why is there no secondary Doomsday Beast in this field?"
"After that time, we never sent any team members in. Instead, we waited for the rescued members to wake up. Because only he might know what happened. We just waited until the sun rose the next day. , he just woke up. But...he is no longer the person we knew."
"Fool." Wen Yan uttered one word.
After Zhang Cishun heard this, the data about this core that he saw in City No. 88 came to mind - the
biological field emitted by "Fool" can plunder the 'memory' of the living creatures in the field on a large scale. and the blessing of 'knowledge' on oneself.
The effect of the field it turns into is - within the scope of the field, the memories plundered by "Fool" during his lifetime will be filled with it. When outside intelligent life forms enter it, they will passively accept all the knowledge in the field. . Please note that this method of knowledge instillation is extremely violent. When the amount of 'knowledge' in the field exceeds the upper limit that the intelligent body can carry in a short time, the 'memory' and 'wisdom' of the living body will be cleared and turned into new 'knowledge' 'Be present in the field.
This is City No. 88’s record of the core of “foolishness”, and there are even a few images on it. But obviously, the "foolishness" encountered by the two seems to be different. At least according to the records of City No. 88, the field effect of "Fool" does not work according to time, and there is no rule that it can only be activated at night. The only thing that is the same is that there are no secondary doomsday beasts in their fields. .
This means that the field of "foolishness" is not pure, it is mixed with other things!
Mixed in...the core related to the 'dream'.
"So this is actually a superimposed field. "Foolishness" and another core related to dreams and night. " Zhang Cishun said.
"The mutual interference of the two core powers changed the effect of "Foolishness", making it only effective in dreams and at night. "
Yes." If not, we would not..." When Mr. Qi said this, he sighed deeply, and then continued: "After realizing that this is a field where two or even multiple cores coexist, We knew that this was something our Fengqi could not handle. So we avoided it from a distance and the convoy restarted to take a detour. Perhaps luckily among misfortunes, after a few days of wandering around the area, we rediscovered the traces left by the bus in the wilderness. In this way, we followed the trace and finally arrived at City No. 114. "
...
-
There is no clear contrast in the wilderness, and the wind and sand stirred up from time to time make the view extremely poor. But fortunately, three more people have cars, and the inside and outside of the car have become two worlds. "Sun
Want It's sunset, and it's only been...three hours? "Jing Shuo looked at the time.
Only three hours had passed from when the sun was directly overhead to when it was about to set.
"The game world has accelerated. After all, we can't really let the time in the game world be linked to the time outside. This is a good thing, but not entirely a good thing. " He took another look at the car's remaining energy, then reached out and fiddled with the center console a few times.
Then, Jing Shuo saw several folding panels lifted out of thin air outside the car, wrapping the car completely.
"...This Not true at all. "Jing Shuo couldn't help complaining.
"After all, it cost money. "He added.
You won't have such advanced equipment when you enter the game normally, but you can buy it with money. This car was bought with money. In fact, they had no intention of buying it at the beginning. After many deaths in the north, I realized how difficult it is to survive in this wilderness. The
existence of the car is not only a habitat, but also a safe haven and a large-scale mobile material storage equipment.
"Sun The outside temperature changes very dramatically after sunset. As hot as the day is, it will be cold at night, often with high winds. This was actually fine in the northern border, but it was much more intense in the southern border, and I don’t know why. "As he spoke again, he reached out and took out a few pieces of butter bread.
Jing Yan in the back seat had woken up, but she still lay there unwilling to move. Her right leg was hanging outside the seat, swaying with the shaking of the vehicle. In a blink of an eye.
But if someone could see the panel in her field of vision at this moment, they would find that a novel is slowly unfolding in her panel. Yes, that’s right.
She
is reading a novel.
Otherwise, she would It won't be this quiet.
"The duration of the night is also six hours? "Jing Shuo asked.
"Not necessarily, it depends on the season. After all, the length of day and night still follows the month. This is still the same as in the real world, except that a day here has twelve hours, while a day outside has twenty-four hours. "
Biting the bread again, she whined. Her fingers were still touching the center console. On the virtual map, the green triangle pattern representing the position of their car logo was slowly moving forward. "It looks like
this We won't meet other players on the first night. she said. "
What do you mean?" "Jing Shuo asked.
"This game saves one file per day. Generally speaking, the first seven days are the easiest to spend, because the only dangers that need to be faced are natural disasters. Only starting from the eighth day, doomsday beasts will continue to be refreshed in the wilderness, and then as the number of days increases, the number of doomsday beasts will increase, and then the area will be derived... Only from the eighth day, can we truly say The game begins.
"The real start of the game... is it because it is no different from reality at that time? "
"emm... not entirely. " " Youyou's fingers were tapping on the map, as if he was considering something. Finally, after reaching out and touching a place, Jing Shuo saw that the current driving path of the vehicle had changed. "Except it's the same as reality
. In addition, and more importantly, we can obtain Oasis Coins from this game starting from the eighth day. Like the outside world, the core! It is the highest-grade currency here, and its value is... huge. ”
