Chapter 158 "Geng 19" does not exist?
The four of them climbed down bit by bit along the edge of the basin - the slope was nearly 60 degrees, and there were a lot of succulent weeds growing on the slope. The soles of their boots would become slippery if they stepped on them a few times. The juice... Despite the fisherman's special warning, Yano still missed the point several times. Fortunately, he was wearing a safety rope, otherwise he would have been the first of the four to reach the bottom of the slope.
Sun Hang has never exposed the ability of mycelium, and he still retains a trace of caution against these three teammates who have only known each other for less than a day.
"Huh, we're finally down." The fisherman wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I just feel how good it feels to have my feet on flat, solid ground now."
"It's okay. The Guards Corps will have such cross-country training every once in a while." Huangfusha said, "Climbing steep slopes in heavy rain, swimming in swamps at night... I feel that the difficulty is already low."
Sun Hang glanced at the two guys who didn't even bother to tie the safety rope, and then turned to look at Yano - he was the one with the lightest load among the four, but his condition was the worst among the four. At that time, he couldn't even think about talking. He could only hunch his waist, hold his knees with both hands, and breathe heavily.
Compared to the fisherman and Huangfusha who only sweated a little, Yano's clothes were completely soaked with sweat. The moisture-absorbed fabric stuck tightly to his skin and trembled with his muscles. .
"Drink some." The fisherman threw a bottle of sports drink over, "Be careful not to collapse."
"Thank...thank you." Yano said his thanks with some difficulty, unscrewed the cap of the bottle, and drank half of the bottle in one go.
"Don't drink it all in one go. We don't have much drinking water left." The fisherman said, "Even if the water on this island has been distilled, to be honest, I don't dare to drink it."
"Speaking of water sources, I remember that the information provided to us by Tianshu Tower said that the entire nameless island has been transformed into an environmental monster. So we should be in it now, right?" Sun Hang said He said, while taking off the monitoring equipment on his body, "Yano, check the degree of deception nearby."
"Okay." Yano, who had regained his breath, stuffed the remaining half bottle of drink into his bag, walked to the device, and plugged in the unplugged cables one by one.
"Actually, I'm quite puzzled. Since the first four groups of people who landed on the island didn't go to this place, why did Tianshu Tower come to the conclusion that the entire island was bewitched?" The fisherman muttered, "Even if They were the fourth group of hunters who landed on the island and brought back some information. They only retreated as far as the woods.”
"That forest is obviously an environmental artifact, there is no doubt about it." Huangfusha said, "Perhaps from the perspective of Tianshu Tower, the forest was affected by the ruins of the research institute in the center of the island, so it became mysterious. , then as the source of deception, the degree of deception on the ruins must be even more serious.”
"I knew I should have tested this machine in the woods just now. I was so busy on my way that I forgot about this," said the fisherman.
"It'll be good if you can walk out of the woods alive." Yano said with lingering fear, "Okay, the equipment has started to operate. It will take about five or six minutes to wait and the results will be available."
"How big is the scope of the test?" Sun Hang suddenly asked.
"I turned the power to the maximum. Centered on our current location, the detection range is within a radius of one kilometer." Yano replied.
Sun Hang looked towards the ruins not far away. A radius of one kilometer could cover almost half of the ruins.
"Speaking of which, have you discovered something?" the fisherman suddenly said.
"What?" "There is not a single drone over the basin..." The fisherman frowned, "Those hunters originally planned to borrow drones from the Angsa people to deliver the news, but looking at this situation, It seems they have lost all their drones too.”
The drones prepared by Tianshu Tower for this operation are divided into three batches. The first batch of drones will patrol along the periphery of the island, the second batch of drones will serve as an advance team to advance towards the center of the island, and the second batch of drones will be used as an advance team to move towards the center of the island. Three batches of drones followed the hunters who landed on the island, serving as fire support and a means of contacting the outside world.
Most of the drones following Sun Hang were knocked down by the huge waves set off by the Yamata-no Orochi, and the remaining ones were used by Yano to convey the news of the Yamata-no Orochi's appearance. But the drones following the Angsa and Indian hunters should have suffered no losses. Why can't they see any of them over the basin?
"Did they all crash? Or were they taken underground into the research institute?" Huangfusha was also confused, "In the narrow underground passage, flying drones should be of little use, right?"
< br>
"I would have left these drones outside," the fisherman said.
In addition to these drones flying in the sky, hunters also carry some "land drones". These drones are made into cars or robot snakes to detect areas that humans cannot. Enter the hidden corner.
"The results are out." Yano suddenly said. Sun Hang followed the sound and saw that his two eyebrows were twisted together, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
"What's wrong? Looking at you like this, there is something wrong with the test results?" The fisherman walked over quickly and asked.
"The inspection...cannot detect any memetic fluctuations." Yano shook his head repeatedly, "This shouldn't be...there is not even the slightest fluctuation. Doesn't this mean that this basin has not been transformed at all... ”
"Aren't there four curves here?" the fisherman pointed at the screen of the device and asked, "Aren't these curves considered fluctuations?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"These four lines are the memes carried by the four of us... The three thickened, completely straight lines below are the detection results of the environment." Yano explained, "It's strange, we just passed through The forest is obviously a Geng-type monster, but when we get here, everything returns to normal.”
"Don't rush to this conclusion." The fisherman said seriously, "There is a saying that everything is normal, but the most abnormal thing is."
"I also know that this is not normal. I thought it was an equipment malfunction at first. But after I tested the meme frequencies of the four of us, I found that there was no problem with the equipment. You see, this was measured on the beach before. This is the current record. If you stack these two pictures together, each of the eight curves will overlap. ”
"Hiss, it's true." The fisherman tilted his head and looked at the screen of the monitoring equipment. "Since there is no problem with the equipment, then the problem is here... Hey, I suddenly have an idea, do you want to listen?"
"Say." Sun Hang said.
"Could it be that the so-called 'Geng 19' doesn't exist at all, and that forest is not an environmental monster... It's just the trees that were transformed, not this place? In this way, the detection here in the basin It would make sense without any memetic fluctuations,” the fisherman said.
"It makes sense." Yano nodded and agreed, "Most of Tianshu Tower's information about Wuming Island comes from the fourth batch of hunters who landed on the island, but the location we have reached now is already older than the fourth batch of hunters who landed on the island. The hunters are even deeper... In other words, their information is no longer meaningful to us."
