Chapter 397 Time loop, rule area
The sky was gray, as if infected by lead dust, and filled with a depressing flavor.
There were very steep rock walls on both sides of Shen Bei's sight, which seemed to be at the bottom of a river valley. Wisps of faint white mist lingered in the air. Not far away, about tens of meters away, a large thick fog completely enveloped the river bank at the bottom of the valley, blocking it. Out of sight.
Shen Bei came all the way.
According to the prompts from Lingxi Zhiling, this location is the location of the army stationed in the old era.
The reason why it was built near the river valley is that it is more convenient to have hydroelectric power in the event of a large-scale power outage.
When Shen Bei stared at the foggy area that almost blocked the entire river valley, it seemed that there was something vaguely there in the fog that was attracting him, tempting him, and giving him an extremely strong desire to enter it.
How could I have such thoughts?
Shen Bei was slightly startled, feeling that this thought in his heart was sudden and strange.
"Are you sure there's no danger here?"
Shen Bei asked.
The more I look at it, the more abnormal it becomes.
Logically speaking, the place where the army chooses to station will definitely not be established in a foggy place.
It affects the vision too much.
If you think about it with your toes, you will know that this fog was generated later.
At this time, Lingxi Zhiling replied: "According to data analysis, there is a 60℅ possibility that it is a regular area. There is a 40℅ possibility that it is a fog generated by natural water vapor."
Rules area...
That's a bit interesting.
"Lower height and follow me."
Shen Bei became interested instead.
Firstly, there may be gunpowder inside. After all, it is a regular area. Even if someone finds this place, they would not dare to walk in lightly.
Secondly, Shen Bei has only heard of regular areas and has never experienced them.
"Let's see what's going on."
Although this kind of action is tantamount to seeking death.
But Shen Bei is confident.
…
At this moment, in the fog.
Shen Bei is now surrounded by pure white mist, and visibility is extremely low.
As long as the distance is more than two or three meters, nothing can be seen except the gloomy white thick fog. Even the gloomy skylight cannot penetrate. It is impossible to distinguish the east, west, and northwest.
Just ten meters into the fog zone, Shen Bei had already lost his way. This extremely dense and strange fog not only made it difficult for daylight to penetrate, but also seemed to have the effect of isolating and absorbing outside sounds. The rumbling sound of water outside the fog zone was here. I couldn't hear anything at all!
Shen Bei looked down and saw a cement road extending out.
There is also a warning sign on the roadside: Military area, no entry.
Then, Shen Bei reached out and touched the ground.
Shen Bei felt a little weird.
Logically speaking, a hundred years have passed since the old era entered the world of escape.
Not to mention the roads, even the steel buildings collapsed under the corrosion of time.
But all the roads left in the deserted world are as brittle as weathered stones, which can break into pieces when pinched.
But now the ground under Shen Bei's feet is intact.
It's like going back in time to the old days. This road is still maintained, strong and practical.
"Tsk tsk..."
Shen Bei couldn't help but be amazed: "Is it possible that time has stopped in this regular area?"
This is a good thing. If it is true, then the preserved gunpowder must still be usable.
Shen Bei followed the road and kept moving in a straight line, covering at least half a kilometer.
"Something seems wrong."
In the thick fog, Shen Bei stopped, panting slightly while looking around and listening.
The gloomy and oppressive thick fog floated quietly, and there was silence all around, with almost no sound.
"I moved forward at least 500 meters in a straight line. The scope of this fog area is so--wait a minute!"
The next moment, Shen Bei's observation eyes instantly locked on a warning sign two meters away from him, and found that the warning sign was vaguely familiar.
Shen Bei immediately came closer, glanced at him, and then raised his brows.
[Military area, no entry allowed. 】
In other words, Shen Bei traveled in a straight line for one minute, and after a distance of more than 500 meters, he actually returned to the starting point again!
"A ghost beating a wall?"
Shen Bei felt the mist around him surge slightly, as if giving him a mysterious smile.
Shen Bei let out a laugh: "We're back again... Lingxi Zhiling, do you feel something is wrong?"
Lingxi Zhiling immediately replied: "The regular area does not accept scientific judgment, just like astronomical rules that should not exist somewhere in the universe, but still exist. Some things cannot be solved through science."
Shen Bei shrugged.
Shen Bei agrees with this.
Otherwise, everything about the Shadow Immortal cannot be accepted and understood.
It can only be said that where science cannot explain, using "energy" as a supplementary clause makes people feel much better.
The world of escape is such a contradiction.
People at the bottom value firearms, while people at the top long for supernatural powers.
"Then what suggestions do you have?" Shen Bei asked.
"The regular area is caused by the leakage of energy, and items and creatures with energy must be within it."
"In other words, it's enough to find the root cause?"
"Yes." Lingxi Zhiling continued: "Of course, if we want to escape from this rule area, we can try to fly upward."
Shen Bei looked up at the sky.
Nothing can be seen but fog.
Shen Bei even suspected that even the space in the sky was distorted and superimposed by this energy.
"Go on."
This time, Shen Bei's speed was undoubtedly much slower. He looked back from time to time to ensure that the faint footprints on the ground kept a roughly straight line.
A few minutes later, he kept moving forward in a straight line. He did not find the warning sign at the starting point on the road. Shen Bei's tense nerves relaxed slightly and exhaled: "It seems that as long as my attention is not distracted, the direction will not be affected by the fog."
Lingxi Zhiling responded: "This rule has been recorded."
"If there is enough memory, you can record it as you like. Anyway... it's useless."
Shen Bei shrugged and said.
For Shen Bei, if there is no gunpowder here, he would be too lazy to come in.
The humans in the world of escape from famine will not break into it for nothing.
It's better to have information on this aspect, but it doesn't matter if there is no information.
Continuing to move forward, Shen Bei kept his attention on his feet to avoid being sent back to the starting point by the rules.
However.
Walking again for about ten minutes.
Shen Bei suddenly found that the ground under his feet was moving abnormally, making a strange sound of water flow, and his feet felt wet.
Shen Bei's expression froze for a moment, and he lowered his head.
He saw that a large amount of scarlet liquid was gushing out from the ground under his feet, as if the tide was rising on the coast, quickly flooding over his feet, and the blood color and the pungent smell of blood spread in all directions!
What was overflowing from Shen Bei's feet and quickly submerged the ground was blood.
The earth seemed to have life, gushing out scarlet blood!
The pungent blood gushed out from the ground, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a sea of blood, submerging Shen Bei, and forming a shocking, blood-white, terrifying world with the white fog!
Is this... hell? ...
The whole person was submerged in the bloody sea in a few blinks of an eye. Shen Bei's consciousness became muddled in the sea of blood, as if something restricted his thinking, making it difficult for him to even think.
Then, in the sea of blood, his hands and feet began to melt.
First the facial features, then the hands, feet, and torso... His skin began to fester, and the muscles dripped like melted candles, revealing the bones and internal organs... In this terrifying sea of scarlet, Shen Bei's entire body was like food swallowed into the stomach, and began to decompose from beginning to end!
Is he going to die?
His thinking was extremely slow, and every nerve reaction process seemed to be infinitely stretched. In the terrifying sea of blood, Shen Bei had a difficult thought.
His thinking was even so slow that he could not feel the fear of the slowly approaching death.
In a blink of an eye, Shen Bei's skin and muscles were all dissolved and peeled off, leaving only a bloody skeleton, and the terrifying sea of blood was like a greedy beast, still not letting go of its delicious food.
However, just when Shen Bei was about to be completely decomposed and his thinking fell into complete silence.
Boom!
The sound of the explosion rang out!
