Chapter 232 Process
"Let's go to the scene first..." Zheng Yichen, who had a headache, plugged the phone line back into its original place and rode away. In a world without various surveillance systems, this kind of action It's so convenient.
Based on the information currently obtained, the Boundary Breakers are highly suspected of causing trouble. Balance of Power? The other party shouldn't be so fussy, right?
Crossing the ocean is the same as what he did in the last world. The difference is that this world is really cold, a very abnormal cold. After arriving in the other hemisphere, he is far away Then he saw a 'Tianzhu' linking heaven and earth. This thing was similar to the Pillar of Dusk that Zheng Yichen could see.
No, things like the Pillar of Dusk are not very conspicuous, but the presence of this Tianzhu is simply explosive, and it is extremely impressive at a glance.
Zheng Yichen did not approach the city immediately. He planned to collect some additional information in the city. Nuclear bombs had been detonated there, so going directly there seemed to be a bit of a trap for him? Although things like nuclear radiation may not kill you immediately, even residual factors can be solved by Dusk.
But if you can avoid touching that thing, you should avoid it.
The city 'near' Tianzhu has been abandoned. You can see blocked and abandoned vehicles throughout the city, children's toys dropped on the ground, etc., but no human beings can be seen. In such an environment A few zombies suddenly appeared and seemed to respond to the situation.
However, this world is not a biological apocalypse. All of this is caused by the Tianzhu. The place surrounding the Tianzhu is colder. Not only that, Zheng Yichen also felt that the 'elements' in the environment have also become colder. Even fainter.
He discovered this when he came.
The Tianzhu is not a pillar of light, but an existence similar to a tornado. Some elements in this world are being sucked away by the Tianzhu.
"Is this something done by the boundary-breaking forces?" Zheng Yichen was a little confused. The boundary-breaking forces focused on swallowing them all, which means that they want all the material and power in this world.
But now this situation shows that it is only part of it.
Zheng Yichen was walking in this deserted city. The supermarkets and other places here were all empty, and he saw no resources.
Opening a door and looking at the lifeless family of three hugging each other inside, Zheng Yichen whispered, 'Excuse me' and closed the door.
Some people can run away, while others stay in this cold land forever.
Continuing to explore other places, the electricity here is also gone. The related facilities are lack of maintenance and due to the times, the city with fewer people is declining very quickly. I also found the information recorded in the newspaper. More than a month ago, it was probably the time when the nuclear bomb was detonated.
Just when Zheng Yichen was looking for something useful, a strong light appeared...
But compared with the sky pillar, the strong light looked like a big light bulb hanging on a Christmas tree. , the light bulb burst, but it did not have any impact on the Christmas tree.
"Did I—" Zheng Yichen cursed on the spot. What does this mean? Does it mean that when you go there to solve the problem, you must not only be wary of enemies, but also be wary of the possibility of being bombed by the aborigines? ?
Don't throw away the mushrooms so cleanly, okay?
Remembering a slight commotion, Zheng Yichen looked at the place where the sound came from. He was a man wearing a heavy coat and a embarrassed expression. The man was holding a cardboard bag in his hand, which contained some Sundries and living resources.
When he saw Zheng Yichen, he couldn't help but swallowed. It wasn't that he had any thoughts about Zheng Yichen, but that Zheng Yichen's painting style was a bit incompatible with the environment here. There were still some active people in this city. .
The clothes of these people are thicker than the others. Zheng Yichen looks different here, and the car looks unusual.
And this young man looks very angry!
"Just in time, I have something to ask."
"I'll answer all your questions!" The man in a heavy coat said very simply. He looked at Zheng Yichen's rosy face and it didn't seem like he was lacking food. It's best to cooperate with such people.
Zheng Yichen pointed to Tianzhu: "About that thing."
"...That is a symbol of doomsday. Since it appeared, the weird cold has started. The government has done A lot of work, but the final result is nothing." Speaking of Tianzhu, the man's expression became heavy: "Even if you use various weapons, you can't interfere with Tianzhu, including the attack you just saw. "
"Your tone sounds like you are used to that kind of nuclear explosion?"
"I see it several times every day, how could I not get used to it?" the man said with a melancholy look on his face: "It used to be more frequent, but now it's getting colder and colder, so the frequency of explosions has decreased, but the explosions have happened many times. , The Doomsday Pillar is still fine."
"Can I ask a question?" The man looked at Zheng Yichen in confusion: "I have seen some people like you before, and they are very powerful. People who have fought..."
"Is there anyone here? If you ask about my identity, I should be a colleague of those people. How are those people?" Zheng Yichen said.
The man in the thick coat thought for a moment: "Some of them died, and some of them were blown up while fighting the people who were suspected of protecting the Doomsday Pillar."
"..." Damn it! This really happened. Zheng Yichen looked at the man: "You know quite a lot."
The man shook his head helplessly, with a bitter expression, and pulled out a military identification tag from his collar: "I participated in the war against Tianzhu."
"Use nuclear weapons Originally some people did not support it, but there are also people who firmly believe that as long as they use that kind of weapon, they can end the Doomsday Pillar and also get rid of those people with unknown origins..."
"But the result is not obvious, Tian Zhu is still fine. "
"I'm just a soldier," the man in the coat said melancholy, "I can't change anything except obeying orders, but I'm a deserter now, and I don't even have the chance to leave this city. None.”
It's too cold outside. You can still scavenge a lot of resources while hiding in this city. You can still survive by finding a cold room filled with all kinds of warm things. Once you leave this city, you will end up being killed alive in the wild. freeze to death.
It’s cold during the day and even colder at night.
"Tell me about the war against Tianzhu." Zheng Yichen took out a palm-sized bottle from his motorcycle and threw it over. The man in the coat showed a puzzled look after catching it.
"What is this?"
"Drinking is considered as reward." Zheng Yichen took out a similar small bottle and took a sip.
The man in the coat showed hesitation, but he quickly took a sip. He had really seen those who fought to protect the Tianzhu. Those people had very special powers. If Zheng Yichen was one of their peers, then The gun will most likely be useless.
Just licking the liquid in the bottle with his tongue. This thing was not wine, but something similar to medicine, but this made his body feel warm.
Good stuff.
He immediately tightened the cap of the bottle and put it away carefully. Now he can still endure the severe cold in the environment. This kind of thing can save his life in worse times.
“Tianzhu appears in winter...”
"You can skip this part. I already know it. The key is the follow-up. The war issues surrounding Tianzhu. Please explain this part to me in detail."
The man in the coat directly bypassed the part that Zheng Yichen wanted to skip. : "We responded to Tianzhu when it first appeared. It was not that cold at that time, and various investigations were conducted. Other countries also requested entry investigations after discovering it, but they were all rejected by the local governments."
“Everything was normal at that time, but with the extension of the Tianzhu, things began to become uncontrollable. Some people with special abilities also appeared at that time, and they performed very powerfully. All high-ranking troops stationed nearby were assassinated overnight, and the war began at that time."
Zheng Yichen generally confirmed the war between the army and a group of people with special abilities. Some things, the environmental level of this world is neither high nor low, but it is very poor in the development of special powers!
Zheng Yichen asked: "Don't you have anyone with special powers here?"
"Yes... but they couldn't defeat those people, and instead they were all destroyed. Those who protected the Tianzhu were very cruel to those with special powers. It wasn't until some stronger 'superpowers' appeared later that there seemed to be a conflict between them. The old enemy looks like a rival between two forces."
"It was their appearance that made the war more advantageous, but I heard that something happened in this war. Something else."
At this point, the man in the coat hesitated, not knowing whether to continue.
Zheng Yichen clicked his tongue: "Is it a matter of trust or a matter of interests?"
"...Both." The man in the coat smiled bitterly: "It's not a matter of trust, even if those people are from The unknown forces are hostile to the people on Tianzhu’s side. The key is the issue of interests.”
"The people at Tianzhu are not stupid either. Some high-level officials were deceived by the benefits they promised."
Well, Zheng Yichen can already imagine what happened here, and the enemy is They won't just act recklessly. With the emergence of the Twilight mercenaries and the pressure to fight against the local forces, they will naturally use other methods. As long as the alliance between the Twilight mercenaries and the indigenous people is destroyed, they can gain additional advantages.
Still confused? It's just that he was tricked because he was greedy.
“These things shouldn’t be something that an ordinary soldier can know, right?”
“I am a deserter now.” The man in the coat shook his head and did not say anything about his identity Too Many: "Later some people came to their senses, but by that time Tianzhu was already connected to the earth, and even if some of the problematic people were eliminated, it was too late."
"We have also lost trust with those who call themselves Twilight Mercenaries..."
