Chapter 41: The Dusty Land
The target is gone.
At this moment, with a gust of wind and snow for no reason, two people, one big and one small, disappeared without a trace.
Under the cover of the wind and snow, few people noticed the path of the two leaving, and even if there were, it could not be stopped.
In a way, it's a kind of dimensional bullying.
Outside the sand table, Lin Tuo's hand was not raised, and after getting out of the encirclement, he found a random position and put down the clone and Huaxi.
The switch consciousness is then returned to the interior.
……
……
"It's safe." When Huaxi heard Lin Tuo's voice again, she let go of her hand, opened her eyes, and was surprised to find that she had come to a strange area.
From her point of view, she only felt the wind howling in her ears, and then her feet seemed to step on a strange "soil", and her body seemed to rise briefly and then land.
Well, it's as if you've been pulled by some kind of force and you've made a move.
It's like never before.
"You ......" Huaxi blinked, looked at Lin Tuo, and wanted to ask something, but finally closed his mouth, but the doubts and curiosity in his eyes deepened.
Lin Tuo also had no intention of explaining, but said, "Okay, let's continue." ”
……
The western mountain range is not large, so a few hours later, Lin Tuo's trace was captured again, combined with the previous "disappearance", some people speculate that maybe this is also a kind of ability.
Well, an ability that can teleport over a certain distance.
"But do you really have that ability?" Many people have similar doubts.
After all, although a certain percentage of evolutionaries will derive extraordinary abilities, most of them are related to the body, and it is more like the evolution of some kind of organ function.
For example, some people have a strong sense of smell, some people have excellent eyesight, and some people can sense changes in the climate...... Teleportation abilities of this nature are all too rare.
But these doubts don't seem to matter.
The hunters of the floating apocalypse only know that the encirclement of the three major forces has completely failed, and the rating of the mysterious powerhouse has also been adjusted to the SS level that has never been seen before.
And this defeat did not make the local forces of the wasteland give up, but only strengthened their determination to kill Lin Tuo.
A strong person who can control can also try to win over, but if his strength is too strong to control, there is no doubt that only killing is the safest way.
However, to their baffle, the mysterious man seemed to possess some kind of foreknowledge ability, and each time, he narrowly avoided their encirclement almost perfectly in advance.
or leave early, or turn on the "teleport", and after tossing and turning several times, not only did not gain anything, but delayed the exploration progress of the three families.
As a result, more energy had to be put into pushing deeper into the Great Western Continent.
And some of them found out with mixed feelings that because of Lin Tuo's sweeping behavior, they had solved a large number of powerful mutant beasts, and their exploration progress was many times faster.
This has to be said to be a slightly ironic thing.
……
In such a strange atmosphere, another day passed.
Lin Tuo still tempered and ate at his own pace, and when he killed a snow bear again and climbed a mountain, he found that there was no enemy in front of him.
Under the dark sky, it was snowing lightly.
In front of the horizon, there is a messy valley, and beyond that, only the last mountain peak.
In the background, there is an endless, dark sea.
It was the Endless Sea.
There, at the end of the continent.
"We actually came to the edge of the continent...... "Wrapped in thick cotton clothes, Hua Xi, who was carrying a rifle on her back, looked at the sea with some shock, this was the first time she had seen the ocean.
"If my guess is correct, that mountain should be a laboratory."
Lin Tuo glanced ahead with a scope and found that there were obvious traces of human creation on the top of the peak, under his feet, and on his waist, especially at the top, which was obviously a large antenna that had been scrapped.
"It should be, according to legend, the mad emperor is the catastrophe that started in the last mountain by the endless sea." Huaxi said with a complicated expression.
After a short silence, Lin Tuo exhaled a breath, feeling the fatigue accumulated in his body from continuous fighting, quenching, and accumulation, and said:
"Let's go and have a look."
……
Through the "teleportation", it only took more than ten seconds for the two to come to the outside of the "Great West Continent Laboratory".
The entrance to this laboratory is halfway up the mountain, and it is a half-sealed gate.
When Lin Tuo took Huaxi, two figures, one big and one small, stood alone outside the magnificent gate, and the two of them were silent for each other.
The door to the laboratory is unusually simple, with no decorations, only a white jade statue, which is housed here.
Probably because it was affected by the explosion that year.
The statue was cut off at the waist, and its upper body fell into the snow, still holding the whip tightly.
This is the statue of "Lin Sheng", but the facial position of the statue has been deliberately polished and the facial features have been eliminated.
In the past few days, through Huaxi's narration, Lin Tuo has already known that after he left that year, the monarch of Chi Guoguo had made a statue for himself and passed it on for a hundred years.
It was not until later that the mad emperor of the new dynasty, in the last years of his life, forcibly destroyed all the statues in the country through forceful means and forbade anyone to remember the saint.
But I didn't expect that there was still one here.
"Did he want me to see the experiment with my own eyes?"
Lin Tuo stared at his statue, and such a guess rose in his heart.
Shaking his head and raising his hand to completely shatter the statue, Lin Tuo stepped forward and forcibly pried open the metal door, which itself was already on the verge of collapse, and with a little force, he tore open a gap.
"Go in and have a look." Lin Tuodao immediately took the lead in it.
After passing through a corridor, a large, spacious experimental hall suddenly opened up in front of me.
Thirty years have passed, and the place still maintains its old appearance, but the instruments and wiring have been damaged and look rusty.
There are even signs of collapse in some areas.
Huaxi followed cautiously, looking around, and suddenly stepped on something under her feet, which frightened her into a low cry.
"It's supposed to be the researcher who died that year."
Lin Tuo looked at the dry bones on the ground and said with a low expression.
The bones of the dead were scattered scattered throughout the hall.
Judging by the traces, it seems that a riot once broke out here.
It was difficult for Lin Tuo to guess the details of what happened here back then, but judging from the posture of those dry bones and dead bones, it was obviously painful.
"They should have been the first humans to be affected by radiation."
Lin Tuo sighed lightly in his heart, for some reason, in the face of these sinners who destroyed the entire civilization, he didn't have much anger, but his heart was heavy and his expression was silent.
After taking a few more steps forward, Lin Tuo's gaze finally fell on a somewhat special skeleton on the ground.
He wore a bright yellow coat that belonged to the royal family, and because of the environment in the mountain, he still retained his original color.
This human skeleton looks like it belongs to an old man, sitting by the wall, the position above his head, is broken, and he can see the "window" of the sea, and at this moment, he can even hear the silent waves.
In his shriveled hands, he was holding a dark green metal box with several rotten cables attached to the bottom.
It was written the words "Detonator".
Obviously, this is the dead mad emperor, the first and only emperor who single-handedly ended the centuries-old rule of the Chi Kingdom and established a new dynasty.
"Click."
When Lin Tuo approached, probably because of the shaking of the ground, the Mad Emperor's skeleton shook suddenly, shattered, and could no longer support his sitting posture, and the box in his hand also fell to the ground.
A dark green, quaint and square seal rolled on the ground from the bones.
Lin Tuo's gaze turned over, and his eyes moved.
Judging from the handwriting on it, this is the so-called transcendent item that can affect the spirit of others: the secret seal.
This thing, sure enough, is here.
It's just that countless cracks appeared on its surface, the corners were broken, and it was slightly dim, as if it had been irreversibly damaged in the events of that year.
Lin Tuo thought about it and reached out to pick it up.
However, at this moment, when he came into contact with this strange seal, the virtual panel of the Derivative Sand Table automatically popped out in the retina.
A line of words that had never been seen before appeared on it:
[Special items are detected, do you parse them?] 】
Lin Tuo was stunned, and became more and more curious, how could the derivative sand table still have this kind of function?
"Resolution." A thought was given in my heart.
On the virtual panel, a flickering progress bar appeared.
[Analysis completed]
At the same time, a piece of information poured into his mind, which was the analysis report of the Evolved Sand Table on the Secret Seal:
Attributes: Natural ore transcendent items (items suspected to be washed by the aetheric tide, changing their own structure, obtaining spirituality, and thus possessing certain special abilities)
Rating: Low
Condition: Severely damaged, on the verge of breakage
Ability: By consuming aether, it can affect the spirit of life within 10 meters of the surrounding area, producing a hypnotic effect, and the duration and number of people affected are dynamically related to the amount of aether consumed......
Negative effects: will cause certain mental effects on the wielder, such as amplifying obsession, paranoia, loss of reason, madness, ...... Long-term use is not recommended......
……
"You...... What happened to you? In the laboratory, I saw Lin Tuo pinching the secret seal in a daze.
A worried look appeared on Hua Xi's face, hesitated for a moment, stepped forward, and tried to call.
"Ah, it's nothing," Lin Tuo came back to his senses, handed the little girl a reassuring smile, and then looked at the secret seal in his hand, and sighed with emotion, "I just ...... A bit of a surprise. ”
