Chapter 264: Azure Dome
The dark streets were overgrown with weeds, and every corner was surrounded by gloom, but instead of the cold and dampness it should be, there were bursts of heat from the ground, and occasionally you could see an orange-red glow swaying under the shattered ground, and at the same time, streams of highly toxic gases drilled out of these cracks and spread out in all directions.
This is what Chen Peng saw after entering the complex, and then looked up at the gray sky without sunlight, it was like a barren and dilapidated abandoned world, everything made him feel so grotesque, and in addition to the heat in the air, there was a burst of bloody breath, which should make people very uncomfortable after inhaling, at least Brother Ming and the others had already put on a strangely shaped gas mask, but Chen Peng was not affected in the state of the void, and he didn't want to get out of the void, Who knows if the powerhouse here will instantly sense him, an outsider.
As he went deeper, Chen Peng's brows furrowed more and more, because he still hadn't seen any life so far, except for the fishing group in front of him, there was only a bloody breeze and endless heat around him, which made him wonder if he had fallen into an illusion, and now everything he saw didn't actually exist, until a giant blue energy dome appeared, and he finally saw a change.
"It's ...... Water Elemental Shield? It's huge! ”
Chen Peng looked at the azure dome not far away in surprise, although he couldn't use the insight skill in the void, he could tell that this shield should be from the hand of the Water Elemental Awakener, and look at the range...... This Awakened is most likely an S-Class being!
After glancing around, Chen Peng also found that the buildings in the vicinity were obviously very dense, and the blue dome was well blocked behind, which was why he couldn't see this place before.
"Carefully Selected Locations"
Chen Peng nodded slightly, if it were him, he would also choose here, the surrounding environment is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention, the enemy's vision will be greatly disturbed after they come in, it is a good place!
A moment later, when he was getting closer and closer to the Azure Dome, Chen Peng finally saw the traces of human activity, the houses around the dome were obviously inhabited, and occasionally he could see a figure flashing, but these figures gave him a strange sense of etherealism, and what he saw made him feel more and more different, it was too strange here!
At this moment, Brother Ming and the others suddenly stopped, Chen Peng fixed his eyes and saw a figure blocking their way, what shocked him was that this figure was illusory and had no substance! Although I can see my face clearly, I have a sense of nothingness!
“…… Spirits? Phantom? Chen Peng looked confused, if the environment here had shocked him inexplicably, now this ghost has made him a little stupid, it's so weird! What the hell is this!
When Chen Peng was stunned, the ghost spoke, and said with a hint of anger in his tone, "Ji Ming, don't tell me that you didn't bring anything back!" ”
Ji Ming, that is, Brother Ming, nodded with a ashamed face at this time and said, "Brother Wan, don't mention it, you also know that our team doesn't have the strength to enter City C, so we can only fish around, and it's so chaotic outside during this time, I ...... I'm ashamed to trust the witch......"
The ghost who was called 'Brother Wan' by Ji Ming was very humane at this time and held his forehead with his hand, and said helplessly, "It's been a week, and if it goes on like this, the ration will be insufficient soon, although we spirits don't need to eat, what about the living?" ”
Speaking of this, the ghost 'Brother Wan' shook his head again and said, "But I don't blame you, it's been really chaotic outside, many teams have gained nothing, and in order to avoid those awakened people who suddenly appeared, they have to narrow down the scope of the search...... Where did these damn awakened people come out of here?! ”
Chen Peng was stunned when he heard it at this time, if his guess was right, this awakened person who ...... the 'spirit' should be the person of the Wings of Freedom, because he had just occupied the temple recently, he sent a large number of patrols and scouts to collect information in the surroundings, listening to this person's tone seemed to have invisibly brought a lot of trouble to the awakened team here, and even caused a shortage of materials, but why didn't these people contact the Wings of Freedom? Instead choose to hide?
Next, Ji Ming and this spirit 'Brother Wan' chatted casually a few more words, all of which were innocuous things, which made Chen Peng very surprised, it was so natural for a living person to chat with a ghost, it could only show that spirits were very common here! But...... This in itself is not normal, okay?
After a while, Ji Ming said goodbye to the spirit body 'Brother Wan' and continued to walk towards the Azure Dome, and when Ji Ming approached the Azure Dome, he seemed to sense Ji Ming's arrival, and the dome automatically cracked a hole for Ji Ming and the others to pass, and Chen Peng, who was following behind, immediately posted it, he didn't want to be locked outside, after all, the Void State could not travel through the ground, not to mention this kind of energy shield, thanks to his quick reaction, the rift closed instantly after the last person in Ji Ming's team entered the dome, if he took a slow step, he couldn't get in!
Successfully entered the dome, Chen Peng did not continue to follow Ji Ming and the others for the first time, but turned around and leaned slightly towards the place where the rift was opened just now, as he expected, this dome seemed to have the ability to distinguish 'his own people', and he did not open the rift after he approached, just like the space barrier that entered Mu Xiao back then required a token, this dome seems to have the same function.
"it, I can't get out yet"
Chen Peng smiled bitterly, and then turned around and walked to the dome, the scene inside is very different from the outside, the color of the blue dome blocks the dimness of the outside world, and at the same time it emits a blue streamer, just like the blue sky on the earth before the end of the world, although there is still no sun, but the lighting is enough, and under the dome is a lively scene, just now I wondered why I couldn't see people Chen Peng, at this time was startled by the flow of people in front of him, and looked at the whole horse is a human ...... Uh~ There are ghosts!
It's not like the outside is full of dilapidated buildings, but it's covered with wooden modern style buildings, and all of them are more than 3 floors, although it looks shoddy, but the residents should be fine, there are no spacious streets around, but there are alleys and alleys everywhere, just like the alleys of old Shanghai and the courtyard of old Beijing, extending in all directions!
Looking at the settlement with such a big contrast from the outside, Chen Peng froze in place again, today may be the day he has seen the most strange things in his life, primeval jungles, strange dark red earth, towers, azure domes, spirits, large settlements...... All in all, it's fantastic!
After hesitating for a while, Chen Peng finally recovered from his stunned state, and began to carefully observe the humans and spirits here, after a while, he determined that this was indeed a post-apocalyptic settlement, but the location was very strange, the people here were still wearing shabby clothes that fit the apocalyptic environment, although they were not as thin as yellow muscles, but they were also obviously malnourished, and the spirits were more difficult to observe, because these spirits had no entity, they walked with floating, and everything except the face was covered by a layer of black smoke, He couldn't see the specific structure, and that layer of smoke he knew was the black smoke released by the tower outside!
"These spirits seem to have something to do with the tower!"
A hint of clarity flashed in Chen Peng's eyes, but because there was too little information, he couldn't be sure how these spirits appeared, so after staying for a while, he began to walk towards the center of the settlement, he needed to know more, and the very solemn and majestic gray church in the center of the settlement should have the information he wanted!
