Chapter 339 Carelessly entering the desolate land
“O-Old Mo...?” Lin Yi’s eyes widened and he looked at Lao Mo in front of him in shock, “Just now...?”
Lao Mo nodded calmly: "Did you have a hallucination just now?"
Lin Yi was shocked: "You know?"
Old Mo shrugged: "It's all too familiar. Yes, they are all 'old routines'. Once you see them too much, you will get used to them..."
"When any creature crosses the safe boundary, it will sense some special fluctuations due to the differences between the layers. It is normal for you to hear it... But then again, if you can hear it, it is probably Did the call come from something? "
"I... couldn't recognize it for a moment." Lin Yi shook his head. Those voices were both strange and familiar, but he couldn't react in time. " What’s wrong? Do you have any explanation?”
Lao Mo patted the butcher’s knife on his waist and said, “That’s the explanation. It doesn’t matter if you don’t hear it. Let’s go. It’s going to be a long journey.” Interesting."
He continued walking forward. After crossing the safe boundary, the whole world around him felt hazy and shaky in Lin Yi's perception, as if he was walking on a seabed. In the tunnel, looking through the tunnel glass, everything in the water waves is twisted, like swaying seaweed.
The thick mist is piled on the ground like cotton wool. From time to time, there is a "rustling" sound of soft sand and dead leaves on the soles of the feet. Occasionally, one or two gusts of wind blow here, and so do the forest leaves. It swung a few times and made a dry, rustling sound.
Speaking of which, Lin Yi suddenly discovered that he didn't seem to encounter any nocturnal species or pseudo-human sculptures along the way.
I don’t know if they were intimidated by Lao Mo’s aura like they did before, so they didn’t dare to invade.
After passing the safety boundary, if Lin Yi remembered correctly, it seems that he should have entered the scope of the desolate land...
"The 'interesting scenery' mentioned by Lao Mo, Is it that matrix? "
Lin Yi felt confused, but what does that have to do with the Art Building?
"Could it be that...the barren land is a certain area on the road to the art building?"
He thought of the scene when Old Mo was drawing branches. Could it be that the barren land was also one of the branches?
"It's not impossible...and the base camp of the fanatic believers is also in the Art Building. They must have gone to the deserted land through the Art Building. If this is the case, Lao Mo will do it the other way around. It’s not unreasonable to go to the Art Building via that road from here..."
Thinking of this, Lin Yi calmed down a little, kept his guesses, and waited for Lao Mo to reveal the answer.
The two of them moved forward slowly...
And not far from the path forward of the two of them, among the misty weeds, some squirming and struggling figures could be vaguely seen. These figures were crawling hard on the ground, but the bodies were visible to the naked eye. It became stiff at a rapid speed, and finally completely petrified, turning into a hard stone.
Such a scene is extremely abstract, because the night is originally the home of nocturnal species and pseudo-humans, but now they are "killed" in their own home, and the way of death is even more shocking. People can't understand it, it's like they've been drained of all the water in their bodies.
X023, May 9, 21:12, outside the "safety boundary".
Lin Yi followed Lao Mo and kept moving forward, but never met any dummy until...
"Crack!"
A crisp voice came from Lin Yi's feet.
Lin Yi was startled. He quickly lowered his head and looked through the fog. He saw some broken pure white debris appearing under his feet, as if he had trampled the broken sculpture fragments even more. .
"This is...a sculpture fragment?!"
Old Mo stopped and looked back, glanced at the sculpture fragment, and said with a dull expression: "Yes, keep walking."
His tone was very calm, without any urging, and it seemed that all this was extremely normal.
Lin Yi quickly followed up: "Old Mo, how did these fragments appear? Only the sculpture that just died tonight will form fragments, right?"
If it dies during the day, it will change once it is exposed to sunlight. The white powder particles are annihilated.
“Yes.” Lao Mo said, “These are all fake people blocking us.”
“Standing in front of us?” Lin Yi was surprised: “These are Did you kill him?"
Lao Mo looked indifferent, seeming to acquiesce to Lin Yi's conjecture.
"But... when did you take action?" Lin Yi couldn't help but look at the butcher knife on Lao Mo's waist, "Is there really that kind of knife spirit that kills people invisible?"
The corners of Lao Mo's mouth twitched fiercely: "Idiot... think again."
Lin Yi shrank his neck and quickly closed his mouth, then thought of something, and tentatively Asked: "Is it... the field?"
Lao Mo then retracted his gaze and said noncommittally: "Absolutely."
Lin Yi was immediately in awe, even though he had already thought about it in his heart Some guesses, but until Lao Mo was sure that he also had a field, he smoothly developed a feeling of "this is right."
At this moment, Lao Mo stopped, frowned slightly, and muttered: "Hey, that's weird..."
"What's wrong?" Lin Yi asked in a low voice.
Old Mo's empty gray eyes swept around, and then he said: "Someone has been here..."
"This way...?" Lin Yi was slightly stunned. Shrouded in mist, he couldn't see the road ahead clearly. He could only vaguely see the overlapping branches and leaves, and the faintly twisted ancient trees.
"Could it be that... Lao Mo is talking about Kuai Kuai?"
But Lao Mo's words turned the blame on Shan Nan.
"I didn't kill some of the dummies here. It seems like someone arrived here with some equipment containing extraordinary properties..."
Lao Mo bent down, He reached under the fog that submerged his calves and picked up a mutilated corpse of a pseudo-man.
This dummy sculpture is in dilapidated condition, as if it had been directly broken by some force.
"Only sports students have such brute strength..." Lao Mo said doubtfully, "But...if sports students come here, there is no way they can walk out alive."
Lin Yi hurriedly asked: "Could it be that some polluters put on some special armor...I mean, exoskeleton armor or something like that?"
He suspected that it was Shan Nan who did it. Unexpectedly, Lao Mo actually knew about the exoskeleton armor, and then shook his head: "Unlikely, do you know what the core material of the exoskeleton armor is?"
"I don't You know, what is the core material?”
Old Mo was about to speak, but he didn’t know what he thought of and suddenly stopped.
Lin Yi: "???"
"Why don't you say anything?"
"I'm afraid it will affect your appetite." Lao Mo said weakly.
Lin Yi was stunned: "Huh? No...you said so?"
Old Mo said: "Let's put it this way...the exoskeleton armor beats the dummy, just like using the other's spear. Attack the other's shield', and usually, the exoskeleton armor itself cannot cause fatal injuries to nocturnal species or dummies."
He shook off the body of the dummy beside him: "And if you want to achieve this step... you need to be at least a second-level sports student."
"If you add in the night factor, the conditions will be even more difficult. ..."
Although Lao Mo said this, Lin Yi still thought of Shan Nan. He still thought that this was Shan Nan's masterpiece - if this road really leads to the desolate land.
Who else could have done it?
After Lao Mo looked at it, he threw it aside as if it were trash, and then continued to move forward, and the direction of advancement seemed to be the place where the ancient trees were twisted and entangled!
And when Lin Yi followed Lao Mo to the end of the ancient tree, as Lao Mo pushed aside the branches, an empty and desolate land, just like in the dream, appeared in front of Lin Yi.
The floating fog, the faintly concave terrain, the potholes at the end, the large gypsum bodies covering the earth...
That really is a barren land!
Before Lin Yi could recover, Lao Mo had already pushed aside the trees and walked out, stepping into the desolate land without any sloppiness.
He did not hide his intentions at all, and walked out carelessly. On the contrary, some of the fanatic believers closest to him were stunned for a moment.
"Chef...could he have fallen behind and gone to the wrong place?" The fanatical believer glanced at Lao Mo, and then without even a second glance, he continued to work on the large plaster bodies on hand.
Lin Yi was stunned.
What the hell is going on?
Just one glance and no follow-up?
Are fanatics so easy to talk to?
Serve someone a meal?
The most important thing is that not only this one fanatic didn't respond, but even the other fanatics who noticed Lao Mo glanced at him and then looked away, calmly like those in the class. It was as if the classmate saw someone from the next class passing by.
Just when he was confused, Lao Mo started walking of his own accord. He came to the nearest large plaster body and knocked on the large plaster body: "Are you busy?"
The fanatic believer lowered his head and quickly dipped the solid extraordinary substance in the vessel and then applied it to the large plaster body, completely ignoring Lao Mo.
However, Lin Yi noticed that the fanatic believer's body seemed to be trembling slightly, as if he had an indescribable sense of... fear towards Lao Mo?
"Hello?" Lao Mo knocked on the large plaster body again and asked several questions. Seeing that the fanatic believer didn't respond, he frowned and then walked to the fanatic believer, as if he was carrying a chicken. He picked up the fanatic believer.
"Stop! Stop!!"
At this moment, a rushing voice sounded from the depths of the desolate land.
Before Lin Yi could react, a chill came over him. Lin Yi noticed the mist surging in front of him, and some dark figure was approaching quickly from it.
After the fog broke a little, Lin Yi noticed that the person who came was still a fanatic believer, but judging from his status, he seemed to be one of the leaders of this group of fanatic believers.
Beside the little leader of the fanatical believers, there were people on the left and right. To Lin Yi's surprise, one of them turned out to be his "acquaintance" - the weird art female teacher.
It’s just that now, she is not wearing the professional attire, but is wearing the dark green robe of the fanatic believer’s “unified standard”. If it weren’t for the tattered hood, it would be hollowed out a lot. , he still couldn't recognize her at a glance.
Seeing the weird female art teacher, Lin Yi subconsciously thought of the scene where Mu Daxian removed one of her legs, so his eyes subconsciously fell on her legs...
At this sight, Lin Yi's eyes flashed with a vague, slightly appreciative light unconsciously.
Under the tattered cloak skirt of this weird female art teacher, she could see her white-skinned legs with some slate gray... Such two legs did not wear stockings or high heels. , but just walking on the sandy soil of the desolate land with bare legs and feet. It was a little dirty, but it seemed to have a different feeling.
Of course, after Lin Yi's careful observation, it can still be found that there are some slight differences between the two legs. At least compared to the left leg, the right leg has a less "original feel" - she was originally the right leg. The leg was removed and then overwritten by Mu Daxian into a big chicken leg. In the end, she personally threw her "chicken leg" off the stone bridge.
And now, it was obvious that she had pressed another button for herself.
"These fanatical believers...can't be judged according to common sense."
But just like this, an even more bizarre idea emerged in his mind...
A "person" like the female teacher of Weird Art who had one of her legs removed can actually build a new one for herself and still maintain the so-called "sanity". If such a case is spread, will it be criticized? Some thoughtful people took it out of context and called it a "medical miracle."
Is it possible that some people who suffer from diseases that cannot be cured by current medical methods, after learning that there is a method of "efficient regeneration", find ways to become fanatical believers and "regain life" in another way? !
This...? !
If we only look at it from a one-sided level, leaving aside those who died on the road of "glorious evolution" as described by pseudo-human art students, it seems that those "people" who appear under the survivor bias are indeed It's like this...
At least, it is "survived" in this way.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a cold sweat, as if a dark cloud called "philosophical dialectics" had enveloped him...
Just when Lin Yi was still thinking wildly, the weird female art teacher also noticed Lin Yi, especially Lin Yi's eyes full of "appreciation".
She then squinted her eyes, and then stretched out her hand to lift the hem of her cloak...
The half-wisp of spring light was like snow on a sunny day, which made Lin Yi dizzy, and his eyebrows twitched subconsciously.
Then, Lin Yi reacted suddenly, his eyes suddenly slid and fell on the face of the weird female art teacher.
Under the torn cloak, the strange art female teacher's face no longer had that scary smile that reached her ears, only a weird, disgusted expression: "So you are so good...morning Knowing this, I might not have let you slip away in the first place..."
