Chapter 3: The Survivor's Stronghold (Part I)
From the mouth of intelligent machines, we know that projection has the most essential difference from humans. Although difficult to describe, the type of data stream obtained by projection and human observation is not the same.
Zhou Yuan said that he couldn't understand that Zhou Yuan's own world line did not have this phenomenon...... But since the other party has said so, it can only be considered so.
After saying goodbye to the intelligent machinery in the supermarket that was still working hard and maintaining supplies, Zhou Yuan and the others began to walk in the direction of the survivors.
According to this route, the survivors should have crossed the sewers from here...... Then from here, where there are fewer zombies, I went to another location.
"Let's go down from here," Zhou Yuan glanced down, "It looks so dark inside......
If you look down from above, you basically can't see anything clearly, so Zhou Yuan took out a flashlight and shook it a few times below.
It tasted horrible - probably like the rotten, strange-smelling meat soaked in moldy fecal water.
In fact, it was about the same, but it was the corpse that was rotting - Zhou Yuan also saw a damaged energy pistol in the pile of corpses.
Therefore, even if human weapons have evolved to the energy level, they can't withstand the zombies that are known for their numbers...... What's more, energy weapons are not popular, and the current state is probably that live-fire weapons are still the mainstream, but energy weapons also exist.
After all, although energy weapons have been popularized on Zhou Yuan's side, the gap between the two worlds is obvious.
The government on Rentaro Okabe's side was destroyed by large-scale projection almost not long after, and the government on Zhou Yuan's side, the city, and the sound scientific research and production system are still there, so Zhou Yuan's side is more advanced.
"Hmm...... After coming from this side, they came from this side. ”
If you look closely, you will find that Zhou Yuan and Artoria's feet are completely transparent - the sewers in this place are not so wide, so although energy weapons can form a terrifying lethality here, there are fewer places to walk.
Zhou Yuan really couldn't stand walking on those sewage and other things, so he added such a buff to himself that water does not stick to his legs...... Then go in that direction.
Of course, at the same time, Zhou Yuan also opened the Kazan of the Sword Soul, and once the Kazan of the Sword Soul searched for the person, Zhou Yuan would immediately close the ability - at that time, the problem of the leg could not be considered, in case it was seen by another self, maybe something bad would happen.
In addition, in order to prevent the sewage and the legs from mixing together evenly at the molecular level, it is necessary to lift the feet completely and then remove the ability. I don't know why it doesn't mix with air after it is removed, but mixing with other things is an irreversible process.
Then turn right. ”
Zhou Yuan simply plugged Athena II into his tactical goggles - Zhou Yuan put the tactical eyepieces in his mask.
This time it's much more pleasing to the eye, at least it doesn't make people feel very abrupt and strange, holding a thing that looks like a camera running around in the sewers......
Even if you have a camera-like thing pinned to your head, it's not much better.
"Then turn left, take a few steps outside, and just jump up from this sewer cover. ”
This sewer system does not have ladders. Although I don't know how those people got up, maybe they brought their own ladders - but Zhou Yuan just jumped up.
After cutting the manhole cover into several pieces with a wild knife, Zhou Yuan jumped hard and returned to the ground from inside the manhole cover.
"...... here?"
Zhou Yuan was slightly stunned. It looks like a station...... There was a small, enclosed space where a group of people were chatting around a burning pile of paper, and the door to the room had been nailed shut, and it looked like the sewer was probably the only exit.
There is a folding ladder next to it, and it looks like it is used to get in and out of the outside.
What surprised Zhou Yuan the most was that Zhou Yuan also saw two computers here...... Because the network is completely maintained and controlled by intelligent machinery, it is surprising that it is not completely paralyzed.
"Let's almost start here," Zhou Yuan muttered, "Everyone......"
Everyone immediately looked at Zhou Yuan with a vigilant expression. Because the previous manhole cover was caught by Zhou Yuan and did not make a sound, Zhou Yuan's whereabouts were only discovered now.
"Don't move!"
Almost instantly, several guns were pointed in Zhou Yuan's direction.
Understandably, there are some nasty projections in addition to zombies, and strictly speaking, the nasty projections are much more terrifying than zombies - let's use an analogy, let's say that right now, a zombie is standing in front of you, and then it wants to catch you.
You can deal with this in a variety of ways, including but not limited to fire axes, fruit knives, pistols, etc., and for example, Frieza is standing in front of you.
The metaphor is a bit exaggerated, but for the average person, Frieza is no different from those ordinary projections - both the former and the latter are invincible beings to them.
Therefore, although all the guns here are pointed at Zhou Yuan, even some people's fingers are still trembling.
They are in fear, and fear is a projection of possibility. But look at Zhou Yuan's image...... Well, martial arts suit, a broken hand, wearing a demon mask, and then also holding a wild sword.
Because the knife had cut a lot of zombies, there was still warm blood stuck to it, and Zhou Yuan shook the knife hard, and the blood was thrown to the ground.
Well, no matter how you look at it, it looks like chaos and evil, and the SAN value of people who see this scene will be reduced......
"Don't get me wrong, we don't have malicious ......"
Before Zhou Yuan finished speaking, someone shot excitedly. The beam of light from the energy device refracted above Zhou Yuan's blade, leaving a blackened hole in the ceiling.
If Zhou Yuan hadn't done this just now and had chosen to be transparent, that person would have hit Zhou Yuan's companion behind him. But after doing so, Zhou Yuan's knife was also wiped out by the laser, and it was broken into two sections.
Then Zhou Yuan let the energy pistol suffer the same fate.
"This ......"
"So we really don't have any malicious intent...... Zhou Yuan sighed and dragged Artoria up, "I'm here to ask you something, you know Ryotaro Okabe...... Or is the Phoenix Courtyard really fierce?"
What I didn't expect was that Zhou Yuan was covered with a contemptuous gaze immediately after.
"You don't know Dr. Phoenix?"
