Chapter 040 ID: Forest (Swamp)
Fang Liang already had the necessary information to cast the curse, he had found the incision to break the game, and he had also found the loophole in the dream realm.
However, the doctor did not realize what he was, nor did he understand the meaning of the words: "Awake...... What is the meaning? ”
"I can barely sleep every day without sedation, but if I can escape, I will consider planning to stop taking it."
Fang Liang didn't squeak again, because after passing through the gloomy burning woodland, they had already entered the Dawn Swamp area.
The imaginary expanse of the sky does not exist, and although the water prevents tall trees from forming tree walls, the area where the soil exists is already occupied by trees and roots, and the houses in the Dawn Marsh are much less dense than the development of Copperpot Town.
"Oops, it seems that we were lucky, we didn't even encounter monsters along the way."
"Let's leave it at that, the houses here were built by locals, and maybe those people left supplies behind before they disappeared."
"As for you strangers, find a way to spend the night in the swamp yourself, and our well water will not interfere with the river water."
By the way, the group of survivors from Copperkettle Town had scattered from the moss-covered plank bridge by holding on to the swamp stakes.
Fang Liang and the five of them stood in place, not in a hurry to go deep into the swamp, he had two original maps in his hand, which still needed to be proofread and verified.
One is the "Road of Escape" and the other is the "Eternal Home".
While it was still early, Fang Liang planned to observe the environment here, and at the same time he wanted to figure out the potential pitfalls of the two maps: "Thanks to the Boy with Glasses' photocopying skills, the map is now available to everyone, do you have any thoughts on the Dawn Swamp?" ”
Li Xiaoyu looked around and said casually: "Okay, then let's talk about my point of view first." ”
"Something is wrong with the Dawn Swamp, and compared to the fast-paced development of Copperpot Town, it seems a little too primitive, as if it was deliberately avoided and not developed in depth."
"The scientific and rational development of swamp areas and the use of humus organic layers for economic breeding are all good ways to obtain food and earn resources.
"But here, I didn't see any experimental fields for planting rice and lotus roots, nor did I find any obvious division of aquatic products and waterfowl breeding areas. This contradicts the rapid development of Tonghu Town, and those who are interested in profit will not think of wetland protection and recycling. ”
Li Xiaoyu took out a wooden stick and poked the trees in the shallow water area to take root: "It's not impossible to carry out forestry development in the swampy area, but they obviously have the strength to build a sawmill in the swamp, and even build a village here, why do these people still want to move their positions?" ”
Li Xiaoyu lifted a piece of soil and scattered the humus in the water: "Assuming that the source of the curse is here, the investigation team found that it was wiped out here, but the villagers themselves did not die, which means that they are related to the curse and may have become accomplices of the curse." ”
"However, the cursed villagers who left the Dawn Swamp and would rather survive in Copperkettle than stay here continue to stay here, and they really had no choice but to return to the swamp, indicating that they are also afraid of the power of the curse, and they are afraid of facing something that they cannot accept."
"In addition, the forest fogs up every night, and the fog itself is moisture, and the swampy area that is difficult to drain can provide sufficient moisture, so it can be assumed that the fog in this area is all emanating from the swamp."
Fang Liang replied, "Well, then I'll also tell you my opinion." ”
"The way the curse frames you is likely to sink you into a deeper dream world that prevents you from waking up."
"The same is true for me, but it has probably found that it can't bring me into the deep dream, so they can only attack me at this level, deliberately pointing out another illusion to me, as soon as I enter, I'm afraid my perception will cause the illusion to change."
"It took a lot of time to get on the road today, and when it gets dark, the swamp will be dangerous, and we need to build temporary shelters."
Comparing the two maps, there is an abandoned dock in the center of the swamp, the east is the old village site, the north is far away and you will encounter forest cliffs, the west is the primitive deep mountains and old forests, and the south is the town of Tonghu.
[The Way of Escape] is equivalent to rashly touching the source of the curse, and then being trapped in a deep dream forever.
[Eternal Home] means that the surface dream realm has begun to mutate, and Fang Liang can't break free from the current dream realm and escape......
In other words, Fang Liang needs to act in groups, he and the doctor go to the [Escape Road], while the other group goes to the [Eternal Home].
Fang Liang would not be dragged into a deep dream, the doctor was in a special condition, and could be used as the perfect curse trigger medium.
Lu Ming and the others did not express a clear stance and resistance, and did not cause a fierce resistance to the curse, which was the basis of the grouping.
However, during the investigation between the two teams, there must be no contact between people, and even if the other party is in danger, they must not go to support.
Otherwise, someone is transferred, dragged into a deep dream, or causes a drastic change in the surface dream, which is an irreversible operation that cannot be saved.
Until the investigation is complete, the two groups exchange information and should be able to draw a final conclusion and decide how to deal with the source of the curse.
Investigating the curse in the dungeon, and no one can guarantee that they will not encounter danger, is a test for both groups.
"Let's go to the abandoned dockyard and reinforce it before it's dark, it's safer than sleeping out overnight."
……
Entering the abandoned dockyard, the place is damp and moldy, the wooden floors are all broken, and through the holes, you can even see the swamp puddles.
Lu Ming and Li Xiaoyu cleared out the two rooms that were relatively complete, demolished the wooden wall in the middle of the room, and then held a vigil according to Fang Liang's group plan, and at the same time discussed the plan of action for tomorrow.
Fang Liang's investigation behavior had already angered the monster that manipulated the curse, and he would definitely be attacked at night.
This matter should not be delayed for a long time, there are only a few weapons resources and fuel at hand, and it is best to solve the problem in a day and night cycle.
Although Cao Zhengfei didn't have the power to trigger an intuitive curse like Fang Liang, his curse was indeed activated.
As long as the Mimic released by Cursed Pandora is not destroyed by the seal, Cao Zhengfei can sense its existence within a radius of 50 meters, and can even try to exercise the host's basic control over the curse and use it appropriately to resist the curse.
There is a causal relationship between the curse and people, judging from the fact that the impostor Fang Liang contacted everyone but did not suspect Cao Zhengfei, there is a high probability that he will not be dragged into the deep dream, and at the same time, it will not cause a change in the surface dream.
Because those cursed monsters also don't understand the curses and laws on the player, which is their fatal mistake.
"I'm afraid it's going to be very difficult tonight, everyone is smart, and once you start to act in groups, you have to deal with emergencies by yourself."
"As long as we get the last bit of information, we can find out who really started it."
