Chapter 173 Shadow Civilization
In the eyes of Zou Lianshan and others, the house looked like a treasure, but in the eyes of Lin Qun, it was actually a broken house with air leakage from all sides.
The only good thing is that I don’t know why the gray-black fog is thin here, and there are no dark matter monsters.
But this is meaningless to Lin Qun, he doesn’t like it at all.
He can understand their cautious attitude.
After all, times are different now, so be careful when sailing.
Moreover, Lin Qun is also letting them go.
He did not tell his actual situation.
But the progress was still very smooth. Lin Qun handed them the ham sausage in his hand. Zou Lianshan and others were as excited as anything. The woman with the tentacles on her head behind was grabbing a ham sausage. With a look of anticipation on his face, he seemed to want to eat immediately, but after looking at Lin Qun, he silently pressed down the ham sausage in his hand.
But it can be seen that they have a good relationship. There are more than a dozen ham sausages in this handful, but there is no problem with the distribution. Zou Lianshan gave out one ham sausage alone, and he collected the rest himself. got up.
Just looking at their excitement, Lin Qun couldn't help but think to himself: If they knew about my meat-and-vegetarian and nutritionally balanced meals at the Sixth Prison Survivor Base in the Demon City, what would they look like?
In fact, not too long has passed since the global battlefield started, less than a month, but the world has changed too much, and too many things have happened.
At this time, seeing that Lin Qun had no ill intentions, Zou Lianshan obviously relaxed a little and said: "If you want to know the information about the domain master, I can tell you..."
"No , let’s start with what’s going on here... What kind of creatures are these contestants here?”
Zou Lianshan and others looked at each other, and it was obvious that something was wrong with Lin Qun, but after all, they had taken it. Things, they are not bad people, so they said honestly: "They are shadow civilization!"
"Shadow civilization?"
Lin Qun frowned.
Zou Lianshan then spoke eloquently.
In fact, most of them are not from the Magic City. They either went out before the early landing happened, or they came here from the surrounding areas of the Magic City. Later, when the situation changed, no one left. No more, we are all trapped here.
According to Zou Lianshan, when the Demon City was first blocked, he was on the edge of the blockade and saw with his own eyes the terrifying light curtain falling from the sky.
From then on, the world inside became separated from the world outside.
At that time, they felt that they were lucky, at least they had avoided the early landing in the Magic City. Everyone knew that this was not a good thing.
Subsequently, they were centrally managed by the military.
As Lin Qun learned from Li Zheng, not all of the army in Magic City entered Magic City, and a large part of them were outside the city, because at that time the Federation also had little knowledge of the situation on the civilized battlefield. , don’t know what to do correctly.
But Zou Lianshan and the others were too low-level. They did not know the specific situation of the army that was blocked outside the Demon City at that time. They only knew the general direction.
"I only know that during the two days of early landing, the military outside the Magic City has been thinking of ways to break in, but it seems to be useless. Moreover, at that time, although the network was not interrupted, the Internet was useless. Good news, at least a dozen cities all over the world were blocked, and there was chaos inside and outside the Federation... Then for some reason, on the second night of the early landing, there seemed to be disagreements among the top military officials, and some people separated. , go to Lucheng.
“There are still some people who stayed. At that time, our group of survivors were separated like this. At that time, no one knew what to do. We all thought that the Demonic City is an international metropolis after all. The Federation will not give up in any case, and it is safer here. ...
"But...who would have thought? On the third day of early landing, the global battlefield opened, and a terrifying shadow appeared in the sky. At that time, the magic city's blockade light curtain briefly disappeared. It's a pity that , the time was too short, and the military did not have time to send people in.
< br>"Then, black rain fell from the sky. At first we thought it was rain, but it wasn't until it fell that we discovered that it was not rain at all, but something like ashes. They did not all fall to the ground, but floated in the sky and fell to the ground. , everywhere, that is the prototype of the fog now, but there was not such a big fog here at that time, because of those creatures...
"Those monsters, they will produce more of this substance, making this place more and more dense." It's getting darker and darker.
"And the terrifying shadow that first appeared also fell down. It was several hundred meters long, but it did not fall to the ground. It could crawl on the gray-black fog...
"-That is the shadow civilization. and their domain owners.
“Then, then everything was over.
“A large number of monsters appeared...
“They are all the lives of the shadow civilization...
"Those monsters can cling to all dark places, and they fall along the black ashes.
"They have no vital points in the conventional sense, nor do they have fragile bodies like ours. A person who is riddled with bullets can still survive, but unless burned with fire, it is almost impossible to kill him.
“And what’s even more terrifying is that they can also awaken the ‘shadows’ of living people. In places with gray-black fog, and people who have been exposed to gray-black fog, their shadows will ‘live’ and become It turned into a monster like those shadow civilization creatures, but it could also turn into a human shape: a black shadow like a human. "Of course, I didn't know this until later, because at that time, It's very confusing. We are all ordinary people. Even if we have some innate abilities - in fact, my innate abilities are a little stronger than ordinary people - but what consciousness can we ordinary people have at that time?
“My friends and I ran and ran as hard as we could, and there were only a few people left around us. There were no people from the military, and no one of us. But the fog was getting thicker and thicker. As we try to run out, we can't even find the direction, and the compass is broken. We don't know what's going on. This is already their world.
"We basically all met each other later, and all of our original acquaintances have basically died in these days.
"There should be very few living people in the entire Demon City now...< br>
“In this fog, there are at least hundreds of thousands of shadow civilization lives!”
When Zou Lianshan said this, he frowned deeply and took out a wrinkled stick from his arms. He lit the cigarette and took two puffs, shook it out and put it in his arms, waiting for another puff next time. He seemed to be afraid that Lin Qun would be frightened after hearing this, and then said: "But don't worry too much, these shadows Although the monsters of civilization are weird, they all rely on the gray and black fog to kill people. Without the fog, be careful. They are not particularly powerful, and they don't dare to leave the fog... If we can get out, they may not even be able to chase us. They won’t chase us..."
According to Zou Lianshan and others, they did not actually get closer to the edge of the magic city blockade area by themselves, because this place is deep in the fog, and only fools would come here. , who doesn’t know that the further you go in, the less likely you are to get out?
There are hundreds of thousands of shadow civilization beings, but only the shadow civilization creatures close to the blockade area have a low density. They have no choice. In order to avoid the shadow civilization creatures, they can only retreat all the way to their current position.
There is no chance to explore outside. In fact, they also understand that wherever there are many shadow civilization creatures, there may be a way out of the gray-black fog. However, in this foggy world, even the most powerful magic city outside the blockade area can't do it, and they can't kill them.
This is actually the reason why Zou Lianshan and the others bumped into Lin Qun here.
According to them, they and most of the remaining living humans are almost all in the nearby area.
From this perspective, it is not so much that they are trapped in the fog, but that they are unable to break through the blockade of the shadow civilization, and can only be forced to live in space, lingering under the shadow of the power of the shadow civilization.
Lin Qun frowned deeply as he listened, but in his mind he gradually pieced together an outline of everything that had happened in the entire Magic City area in the past.
Sure enough, these dark material life forms are a civilization.
Moreover, it was the civilization that wanted to land in the Magic City at that time.
That terrifying shadow.
At that time, the early landing ended, and the first phase of the blockade of Bakatan was automatically lifted, and the inside and outside of the magic city were connected again. Everyone saw that scene, but then the Bakatan civilization immediately paid more contribution points and re-blocked this shadow civilization. Their lives were blocked outside, but they did not go elsewhere, but expanded their world outside.
Arrived outside the closed area of the magic city.
The huge monster Zou Lianshan mentioned was also seen by Lin Qun.
Now he can confirm that the shadow he saw at that moment was no accident.
However, these creatures of shadow civilization are really weird. They can actually "reproduce offspring" through human shadows.
Yes, it is about reproducing offspring, because after Lin Qun killed his shadow, he gained a contribution point, which proved that his shadow "lived" and became a creature of the shadow civilization. Only alien civilization creatures with complete body and mind Only then will they be counted as contestants. Clones and artificial people are not even counted. Killing that shadow can obtain contribution points, which proves that it has fully met the standards of a "contestant" of the shadow civilization. .
And judging from the "Lin Qun Shadow" itself, it even has clear consciousness and behavioral abilities... This means that it is by no means as "innocent" as a newborn.
This makes people feel even more weird and crazy.
What kind of race and civilization can rapidly proliferate and reproduce in this way?
But Lin Qun can figure out why there are fewer shadow civilization monsters the closer to the blockade area. On the one hand, it may indeed be that they want to intentionally drive humans in one direction, but on the other hand, it is obviously because of the shadows. Civilization knows very well that this is another battlefield. The humans and Bakatans in the Demon City will definitely win or lose, and the blockade of the Demon City will be lifted.
Once the blockade is lifted, the so-called border area close to the blockade area will immediately become the frontline battlefield, so a buffer zone must be left.
Unfortunately, Zou Lianshan is just an ordinary person, and the information he understands and observes is very limited.
Especially about the military.
Lin Qun knew that at this time, even though the military might have been dispersed or even suffered heavy losses, the military could still provide comprehensive information.
But now he has no choice.
It's not easy to meet a few people in this gray-black fog.
And if it is true as Zou Lianshan said, most of the humans outside the closed area of the magic city have been killed, it will be even more difficult to encounter them now.
Lin Qun still believes in this.
Because of the unique hunting methods of fog and shadow civilization creatures, it is indeed difficult for humans to survive in this environment. The living conditions here are not even as good as those in the magic city blockade. With such low visibility, even if each other With a distance of five or six meters, it is difficult to rescue each other, and the creatures of shadow civilization seem to be everywhere. This is the world of shadow civilization creatures, and humans are living targets. More than 20 days have passed, and the survival rate is not high. It's normal. Judging from the average strength of Zou Lianshan and the others, and the fact that they haven't encountered anyone who came out of the foggy world for several hours after the magic city blockade was lifted, they can make the same judgment.
At this stage, all those without strength should be dead.
Even if these shadowy civilization creatures in the gray-black fog are nothing if they break away from the fog, the problem is that they are now in the fog, and judging from the current situation, the scope of this gray-black fog is not small.
The number of people was too small, so the blockade of the Magic City was lifted, and no one noticed it, and no one walked into the blockade area of the main city of the Magic City from outside the blockade area.
If Lin Qun hadn't come in, Mark 46 would have attracted some attention, and someone would have noticed him and come up to remind him, Lin Qun might not have been able to meet people like Zou Lianshan.
Lin Qun thought for a while. He had too many questions, so he picked an important one first: "Then how do you get out of here? How big is the coverage of this gray-black fog? You are trapped here. It’s been more than twenty days, haven’t you tried to go out?”
“We don’t know... we have lost our way...” Zou Lianshan looked at Lin Qun strangely. He felt more and more that Lin Qun was coming from outside. Come. Because the blockade time of the magic city blockade has not ended yet, he naturally ruled out the possibility that Lin Qun came from the depths of the magic city.
But he didn't ask any more questions and still replied, "Moreover, this is their world. Except for a few 'low fog areas', other places are very dangerous. If you go out, you will be attacked, and you will die if you can't go far." We have been trying to find a route, but... the most we can find is the light curtain in the closed area of the Magic City, but the road outside is just...
"Now, this place is like a huge spider web, and we are all covered by it. Trapped in it.
"The shadow civilization set up this fog to prevent prey like us from escaping, so..."
At this point, their expressions were a little sad.
Behind him, a young man said: "Brother, are you from outside? I think your equipment should be valuable and you have some strength, but that's useless. I advise you, Don't think about it, do you know that the number one in the Demon City is over a thousand, and he has been wandering around for a long time, and has not been able to get out. Moreover, your shadow called the Territory Lord, the Territory Lord and its 'general' before he died. Maybe they have already set their sights on you, and you can’t leave... It’s bad luck for you if you enter here.”
Lin Qun knew nothing about the shadow civilization and the situation here, and they had naturally judged Lin Qun as someone from outside.
Seeing that the young man had broken his words, Zou Lianshan also thought about it and said with a little hope: "Don't listen to Xiao He scare you, there is hope while you are alive, we will be able to get out sooner or later, brother, Do you remember the direction you came in from? "
Zou Lianshan felt that since Lin Qun came from outside, if they could find their way back, they might be able to escape from this gray and black foggy world.
But what they didn’t know was that Lin Qun came from the outside, and he came from the inside.
