Chapter 293: Abandoned City
If you continue to stay, you won't get anything, the air here seems to be drained by more than half, and if you don't find a way to leave this barrier, everyone will die here without oxygen.
"Mr. Zhi, let's go back to the Black Tower to have a look, the barrier here probably only appeared after we entered the Black Tower, and we will definitely find some clues there. Yang Xiaokai let go of his hand and reluctantly glanced at the street in front of him, but he firmly believed that there must be someone over there waiting for him to come back.
A few people returned to the Black Tower and told everyone here about the vacant land, they were now trapped in the Black Tower City, and they had to split up to find a way to leave.
"Brother Xiaokai, is it really because there is no console?" Ibaraki has been staring at the inside of the Black Tower, no matter what, the scene in the Black Tower is still a little too abrupt, as if it was fabricated separately after forcibly distorting and expanding the space in the tower.
The crowd scattered through the city of Black Tower, with the exception of the Ibaraki siblings and Hades who remained.
Stepping into the Black Tower for the second time, the sky above me was false, and there was no truth at all. There is plenty of air here, but it's impossible to survive, and without food and water, even the most breathed air will die.
"Xiaokai, let's go to the city in front of us. Hades said, pointing to the dilapidated city ahead.
The city looks close, but it is really difficult to walk, about an hour, the high-rise buildings in the city are only slightly magnified or so, and if you go down with the momentum, you are afraid that you will not be able to touch the edge of the city when it is dawn outside.
"Brother Zhenyou, there's a car over there. "The ice house, which had been looking around, suddenly saw a dark green jeep in the distance under a bare tree that had been bombed by artillery fire, this car was very old, it looked like it had moved here from the old days of decades ago, and it didn't fit in with the high-rise buildings in front of it.
Several people walked towards the car and found two soldiers who had been shot dead in the car, their bodies showing no signs of decomposing, and it seemed that the war had just ended.
Removing the body, Hades checked the car's fuel tank, although there was only half a tank of gas left, if it could be started, it shouldn't be a problem to drive to that city.
"Mr. Zhi, do you know how to drive?" Yang Xiaokai asked as he looked at Hades Zhi, who had been checking the facilities in the cab.
"Of course it will, but this kind of old car has really not been touched, and it looks like it has been attacked, and someone may have to push it in the back to get it to drive. Hades tried to start the engine, and although he could hear its roar, he couldn't really move.
"Ibaraki, ice room, you guys go up first, I'll push it in the back. Yang Xiaokai walked to the back of the car, and after hearing Hades's instructions, he pushed forward hard, and the car walked forward for a few meters before it started, and he immediately controlled his body and flew to the car door, and got into it with the help of Ibaraki.
"I saw a lot of corpses along the way, and from the military uniforms on their bodies, they didn't look like people from any country, but they could barely tell the difference between the forces, and if this scene was moved here from a certain point in the present time, I don't know which battle happened in history. Hades looked at the corpses that kept appearing on the side of the road and said, their position is only the edge of the battlefield, and the real war will never be only the sacrifice of so many lives.
"The space inside the Black Tower is distorted, and even the largest battles can be copied, but this place looks like a patchwork of gods, like a beehive outside. Yang Xiaokai leaned on the car window and looked at the sun overhead, which was different from the other world, but it was exactly the same as the present world.
Forty minutes later, Hades drove to the edge of the city, where nothing but remains of the artillery bombardment, and endless smoke rose from the city, completely obscuring the sun's brilliance.
"Let's go in and have a look, and if you stop, you might not have time to start if something happens. Hades did not stop, but drove straight into the city, the style of this city is like a modern day, but there are also some shadows of the future, the holograms that are popular on the streets, although the picture is not very smooth because of the attack, and there are often dead pixels and defects, but all that appears on it are modern characters that can be understood.
"Is this the United States?" Bing Fang looked at the blonde girl and colorful English on the video, this is not Asia, it seems to be Europe and the United States with full speed of technological development, but why did such a powerful power fall into the situation it is today?
"It's some kind of big weapon, isn't it? But what is this thing going to be used against?" Ibaraki saw a superweapon on the roof of the ruined building next to it, which looked like it was only seen in games and science fiction movies, futuristic, but now it had been shattered by unknown firepower.
Yang Xiaokai smacked his tongue and said: "It doesn't matter what it is used against, the important thing is that even with this kind of weapon, this country still loses this war, which means that the victor has more powerful arms and forces than this." β
The three of them were silent, Yang Xiaokai was right, if it weren't for the other party's overwhelming strength and equipment, this country would not have lost the war without fighting back at all.
"Wait, Hades, park your car first, this is the city center, I think the console should be around here. Ibaraki poked his head out of the back seat and motioned for Hades to stop here, "Brother Xiaokai, if it was Miss Samusa, what do you think she would think?"
"Sister Samusa?" Yang Xiaokai pondered for a few seconds, looked at the smoke in the distance and said, "I think she should be thinking about the connection between these black towers, after all, it is the last level, and we are trapped inside, she and her sister should be looking for a way to let us leave outside." β
"Well, but no matter what she's thinking right now, her thoughts will never reach your brain, so we'll have to figure it out for now. Brother Xiaokai, you said that Miss Samusa was thinking about the connection between the Black Towers, what do you think about this?" Ibaraki asked after opening the car door and pulling the ice room to the ground.
As they walked towards the city center, they listened to Yang Xiaokai say what he thought.
"The first Black Tower when we came was able to stop time in the outside world, the second and sixth towers were able to slow down the flow of time and increase the flow of time, and the third and fifth Black Towers were able to allow people to see the future and the past. The Black Tower where we are now...... The significance of this is still unclear. β
"I don't know what the point is in creating an invisible barrier to keep us inside. β
"Anyway, we can't seem to contact anyone outside now, it's so big, I don't know when we'll find the console, and I don't know if we'll be able to lift those barriers after activating the console. Bingwu looked at such a vast city and was dumbfounded, I don't know where to start, there are only four of them, how easy is it to go to every corner of the city?
"Okay, I'll go here, Ibaraki will go to the building on the right side of the square, the ice room will go to the park on the left, Xiaokai, you just keep going, everyone will use the method of contacting obsidian, right?"
"No problem. β
After Hades arranged the task, several people split up to search, the world in the Black Tower is big, but in addition to the battlefield, there is only this city, and the vision in the distance is gradually blurred, presumably there is also the end of this Black Tower, the space here is infinitely extended, once you enter there, you can never get out again.
"This place is really chilling. "Ibaraki walked into a building, which had been blown up, but more often it seemed to have been destroyed by some kind of blunt object and blade, and the vandals were so heavy that almost every place that was damaged was miserable.
"Hoo ......"
Ibaraki decisively flashed to the side, leaning against the wall and pricking up his ears to listen to the sound coming from the rooftop, which was not like the voice of a machine or a human, but something unknown, like a nuclear-class creature that he had seen in another world outside.
"Damn, these Americans aren't going to be defeated by these things, are they?" Ibaraki summoned Obsidian, he knew that he could not deal with ordinary monsters with his natural abilities, but if it was an obsidian-level creature that appeared here, he would not be so lucky, maybe he wouldn't even have time to escape.
The closer the voice became, the more bottomless Ibaraki's heart became, this movement didn't sound like a creature could make, heavy and slow, and then he realized that it wasn't the sound of breathing at all, but the sound of the thing's body when it moved!
"Damn, let's withdraw and tell Brother Xiaokai about them. β
Just as Ibaraki was about to withdraw from the building, a large hole was smashed through the ceiling overhead, and under the smoke and dust, something seemed to be of great size and fell down, and when it touched the ground, it was very heavy, and almost smashed through the floor slab of this floor!
"What's it?!" Ibaraki suddenly panicked, but since the other party has discovered him, it seems that this battle cannot be avoided, and he hopes to be able to take out the obstacles in front of him as soon as possible with his own ability, after all, the time is very tight now, everyone is looking for the location of the console, and he can't fall behind.
"Roarβ"
A strong roar shook the surrounding dust, and Ibaraki suddenly saw what was standing on the other side.
It was a huge humanoid monster with a whole brown body, about three or four people tall, two arms and a punch, extremely lethal, this monster did not have anything that symbolized a head, and after a few seconds, Ibaraki suddenly realized that this thing not only had no head, but even the sound of heart and blood flow did not exist!
This thing is not a living thing!
