Chapter 108: The Fourth Layer
If it's just survival, it's easy to explain. The problem was that White Mist still had to bring back some intelligence, which meant that he had conducted a relatively in-depth investigation.
The red zone survived for more than ten hours, which is not an original sin, but a meritorious service, but if he is the first person in history to be recorded as a crab eater, no matter what, it is always right to be cautious.
Bai Wu quickly figured out how to deal with it, and the elevator slowly stopped at the entrance of the fourth floor.
Bai Wu looked over for the first time and found that the buildings on the fourth floor were far less than he had imagined.
Every building here is exactly the same in style β a pitch-black square pyramid building.
The height of the building is between 30 meters, 60 meters, and 90 meters. Each building occupies an area of about 600 square meters.
From a distance, it looks like pitch-black minarets, towering over a huge, flat square.
It is like in the sea in the previous life, I saw lonely lighthouses.
But as the vehicle picked up and got closer, Bai Mist saw the various delicate electronic patterns on these black spires.
"The first time I came, the first time I came, I also felt strange, different from what I imagined, I thought it would be very attractive, but in fact it was very desolate." Dong Shuyu took out an e-cigarette.
Bai Wu waved his hand and signaled not to smoke, but Dong Shuyu gave him a roll of his eyes, which was not for him at all, and smoked by himself.
"There are no entertainment buildings here?" The white fog naturally shifts awkwardly.
"Entertainment? The fourth floor is not a place for entertainment, the architectural style here is similar to the fifth floor, the fifth floor is a little more diverse, these towers have a lot more functions than you might think, but they don't include entertainment. For fun, managers like to head to the third floor. β
It's also reasonable, many companies on the third floor are managers on the fourth floor, although the architectural styles of the third and fourth floors are very different, and it seems that these square cone-like buildings have a more mysterious sense of technology, but no one will be because of this? And forget about leisure and entertainment.
The white mist landed its gaze on a certain tall minaretβ
[Each spire hides a wealth of resources that can't be imagined in the lower three floors? Of all the mines mined by miners, 0.4 thousandths remained at the bottom? Three-thousandths for the second layer? One hundred and twenty-two thousandths is stored on the fourth and fifth floors. As for the remaining huge resources, they are on the sixth layer. γ
What is the focus of the note? It turned out to be energy distribution? These minarets are not only used by managers for residential offices...... What is the biggest use for storing energy?
Bai Wu was slightly surprised in his heart.
This resource allocation can be said to be very weird? Is the energy distribution in the lower three tiers so scarce? But all kinds of electricity, water, and industrial needs are sufficient.
For 700 years, the people at the bottom have indeed rebelled? But this revolt? In the final analysis, it is just to get more survival resources and make life more like an individual; It's not that the underlying energy is depleted, and even the ceiling can't simulate day and night.
Throughout the Tower Era, the humans on the lower three floors have never lacked any energy.
And now he knows? From the fourth level, the population is only less than one percent of the bottom layer? However, the number of mineral resources is hundreds of times that of the bottom.
What are these huge mineral deposits used to sustain? Is it purely stacked? Or is it used to research or make certain objects? Or have you already started using it?
"The fourth floor is more than I expected...... It's a lot more monotonous. β
"Yes, most managers? In fact, they will live on the third level? Come here? It's basically to do the right thing, these square towers all look the same, the height difference represents the level, and there are also rank differences between managers and managers. Thirty meters is the office area assigned by the lower managers, 60 meters is the area of the middle managers, and 90 meters is the office area of the ruler candidates, that is, the office areas of the higher managers. β
"It's tedious, but you won't have too many chances to come here, so you just need to remember the location of the legion headquarters, the regiment commander summoned you to the fourth floor to make some appearances."
Bai Wu nodded gently, Dong Shuyu was very enthusiastic.
"What rank is the regimental commander?"
"The head of the Zhenyu Army and the head of the Survey Army are both middle-level managers. Exploring outside the tower and maintaining stability inside the tower are the routes they are candidates for promotion to senior managers and rulers. β
In this case, it is obvious that the breakthrough progress brought by the exploration outside the tower will be higher, but the stability inside the tower can be compared to it. It can be seen that this maintenance of stability is probably not simply about maintaining order.
I think there is a town character in the town army...... In addition, the treatment of the Zhenyu Army is generally better than that of the Investigation Army, and Bai Wu can probably guess that the maintenance of stability of the Zhenyu Army may be the suppression of riots.
"Here we are."
The vehicle stopped, Dong Shuyu and Bai Wu got out of the car and came to the sixty-meter-high square cone black tower.
"That's all there is to the Investigative Corps' headquarters?"
"But it's enough to handle all the Survey Legion stuff, and if you're going to be large, you can head to the second level of the branch."
Bai Mist thinks about it, the place to make decisions does not need to be too bloated, after all, the fourth layer is much more deserted than the third layer.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Under the leadership of Dong Shuyu, the white mist entered the interior of the Black Tower, each of which had the same shape and only three specifications. The main way to distinguish this is in the building number.
The interior of the Black Tower appears to be empty. The clean black floor reflects the human figure, and the white ceiling is spaced at a distance of six meters.
The distribution in the tower is like two commercial buildings integrated together, with Bai Wu and Dong Shuyu on the right side of the square tower.
When he touched the wall, he felt that the material of the tower was like a carved crystal ore outside the tower.
The core technology of the square tower should be within the walls.
Although it seems to be the most simple building structure, the color is only black and white, but the feedback from the eyes tells the white mist that the secrets hidden in these towers may not even be known to the managers themselves.
You came inside these awl-like buildings, but that's just what you think, and you're actually outside them. They were also never buildings. γ
The information given by the note was not clear what Bai Mist meant, and he guessed that the secrets of these buildings should be hidden on the fifth floor.
And for mission reasons, he was able to come to the fourth layer, but it was only a glimpse, and the many secrets of the fourth layer, Bai Mist didn't have time to explore.
As for the fifth layer, even if it is a manager, only a very few have even been to the fifth layer, and Bai Mist is not worried about it for the time being.
He still remembered that when he first saw the stele, the stele's remarks were also very organic, and the stele was not an exit from the tower, but was used to suppress a certain monster.
There are too many secrets in the tower, perhaps no less than outside the tower.
"Let's go inside."
A pitch-black, marble-touched door appeared in front of the white mist.
When the white mist was about to knock on the door, the door opened on its own.
Legion Commander Qin Zong's office, compared to Wujiu's office, does not have so many files, because all the files are stored in a very small chip in this room.
The entire corps commander's office turned out to be a long table and a row of seats, which looked like a round table.
There were a total of three people in the room, Bai Wu, Wujiu, and Qin Zong.
Bai Wu nodded with Wujiu for the first time, and then he looked at Qin Zong:
[He has a secret hidden in the sixth layer that is also of interest, as the leader of the Investigation Legion, he has almost no shortcomings except for being a little ambitious, on the contrary, he has many advantages. After all, not everyone can breed subordinates like the little man. You may be more curious about his identity than the secrets in his body, and like the small facial paralysis, his parents are also from the fifth layer. In the end, he doesn't smoke, he doesn't drink, he doesn't engage in politics, he doesn't burn, he doesn't gamble, he doesn't love his wife, he doesn't love Lori, you can hardly find any bad habits, it's really boring. γ
Combined with the notes, plus Bai Wu's first impression of seeing this office, and Qin Zong's dress-
He was sure that this boss was a person with extremely strong self-control, even to the point of being a little distorted.
But in the overall direction, he and the short brother are of the same heart.
Bai Wu was a little relieved, afraid that he would meet that kind of short brother who was too good, and then jealous of the short brother's boss.
The characteristics and stance of the big boss determine how much information White Mist will provide.
"You're White Mist, aren't you? Sure enough, it's a hero out of a young man, I'm the commander of the Investigation Corps outside the tower, Qin Zong. β
Qin Zong motioned for Bai Wu to sit down, and sat opposite Wujiu.
This detail makes White Mist quite appreciative.
The two of them are opposed, and in terms of the pattern, the five-nine white fog has a feeling of Qin Zong's right-hand man.
"It's very good at winning people's hearts. It's a pity that it's not a good wife, otherwise it must be very compatible with the thief, and maybe it can also promote the friendship between the two armies. Bai Wu commented inwardly.
Qin Zong's expression was very serious:
"I'm not going around in circles, I heard that you got some information outside the tower, in the red zone, I want to know what kind of information it is."
Bai Mist nodded, and then began to slowly tell the news he had found.
He didn't hide the information he had gotten, and as for how to find out the information, the matter was easy to solve.
Because no one has been to that area at all, the space for the white fog to play is very large.
He is free to fabricate the number of evil falls, the distribution of evil falls, and the sources of information. The most important thing is that Qin Zong only cares about the value of intelligence, and does not care about the truth of things.
And although Wujiu knew that it was fake, he chose to pretend to be stupid, or rather, to pretend to be stupid with the regiment commander.
Of course, in order to add some authenticity, White Mist still blew up some of his own things.
With the recent amnesia, there are some problems with Bai Mist's emotional perception.
This is no secret to the members of the Seventh Vanguard Group. Bai Wu also knew that this secret would spread sooner or later, so he simply mentioned it directly, and Qin Zong knew it first, and he could avoid some risks.
Qin Zong was very curious about Bai Mist's physique, thinking that this was a natural investigator outside the tower, but soon, he was shocked by the information brought by Bai Mist-
The white area is decreasing, the other colored areas are gradually increasing, and there is a source of distortion called the "Well" outside the tower, which will move in a gradually shorter cycle, aggravating the distortion of the world, and the monsters will become stronger because of these distortions.
At the same time, there are monsters in the world that are not limited by the region, and the monsters will also be temporarily not restricted by the region during the period when the well is opened.
Each of these messages is a unique explosion of information, although the information itself is still foggy and cannot be verified......
But Qin Zong understood that these news related to the origin outside the tower, even if it was wrong, still had a certain value for the tower.
White Mist wasn't worried about the trouble this information would bring. Qin Zong and Wujiu both know how to avoid risks.
The fact that the Red Zone gets information, or the Red Zone survives, is shocking enough in itself, but it's not impossible.
Ninety years ago, the joint expedition of the two armies ended in a fiasco, but it does not mean that mankind will give up exploring the red zone.
They just lack a guide. A success story.
After explaining and arranging everything, Qin Zong asked Wujiu and Bai Wu to go back first, and he had to digest the information this time.
The person responsible for picking up and dropping off the two is still Dong Shuyu, who bears the burden of breasts.
Along the way, Wujiu and Bai Wu didn't speak, but Bai Wu could clearly feel that the captain was in a good mood.
Although the information I brought back is too macroscopic, the significance of the information may outweigh the value of the information.
Looking at the black square cones retreating in his sight, Bai Mist thought, next time he came to the fourth floor, he must take a good look at these black towers.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Underlying.
Over the next few days, something happened one after another.
White Mist received a batch of material rewards from the manager level.
But he was not promoted to the captain of a new detachment, or the leader of a certain group, and he still belonged to the jurisdiction of 59.
He was also very satisfied with the arrangement.
Another thing is that his companion power directly broke through to the fourth order and fifth stage.
It was only one step away from the fifth order, and this progress was so great that all the members of the Pioneer Group were shocked.
Including Bai Wu himself felt strange, and it seemed to be a lot faster than expected.
He didn't expect that after staying in the red area for more than ten hours, he would directly increase his associated power by more than one order.
It was only one step away from the fifth order, that is, the top master of the tower, and the white mist.
Not so long ago...... He's still a first-time person out of the tower, and he doesn't even have the power to accompany him. Being able to become an elite expert in the Investigation Corps in such a short period of time really shocked several people in the Pioneer Group.
Wujiu is the most calm one.
The ability improvement coefficient in the red area is higher than that in other areas, especially the mood fluctuations of the white fog have always been zero, which is another bonus.
Although Bai Wu was surprised by this matter, he didn't feel much to be proud of. Because he saw the strength of the top evil fall, he felt the huge gap that the basic value could not surpass.
But this will indeed be a guarantee for him to investigate the blue zone in the future.
As for the congratulations of the pioneer group, he still owes a beating:
"Isn't this rate of progress the standard for the Survey Corps? There won't be anyone who can't even reach the fourth rank for a month, right? β
Lin Wurou proposed a heads-up on the spot, but was stopped by Wujiu.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Another matter is to investigate the turmoil caused by the Legion's return from the Red Zone.
The hot topic of discussion in the second and third layers in the past few days is all about the survival of the Investigation Corps in the Red Zone. However, Qin Zong did not release the results of the investigation, and defined them as a secret of the legion, which only people at the level of the detachment commander could contact.
Rao is like this, and people are also quite excited, and even many third-level nobles think that humans no longer need to be afraid of monsters.
These thoughts, only the warriors who have really experienced them outside the tower, can understand how ridiculous they are.
But overall, the return of the Seventh Pioneer Group of the Survey Corps from the Red Zone greatly boosted the Tower people, whether it was the Townsmen, the Survey Army, or the ordinary residents of the Tower.
White Mist didn't care about these things, he cared more about them than the carnival of the people in the towersβ
