Chapter 1124: Lost in the Oasis (6)
At the same time, somewhere in the Sahara Desert, Africa, in [The Lost Oasis - City of the Dead].
"Is this it? Bediwell stepped out of the bridge and landed on the deck of the golden ship. From here you can overlook a qiē in the oasis.
Before reaching the deck, the werewolf felt an inexplicable heat rushing towards him.
It was past seven o'clock in the evening, and the sun had just set, but it had been exposed to the sun all day, and the heat it brought was still preserved by the greenhouse protected by the glass layer, as if it would not cool down for a moment or three.
In addition, most of the water vapor evaporated from the vegetation here is retained in the greenhouse, which makes the surrounding air humid and sticky, making people feel like they are in a steam room.
The heat died. This is the heaven of plants, but is it a steam hell for people?
Bediville subconsciously took off a coat and wore only a thin shirt. He even wanted to take his pants off if he could, because at the moment his shorts were already soaked with sweat and stuck to his ass along with his panties, which was extremely uncomfortable.
The werewolf deliberately ignored the discomfort and walked to the edge of the deck, observing the frighteningly dense green field.
"It's an oasis, it's a rainforest. Bediwell muttered.
"However," Arthur also took off his robe and traveled lightly, "you can't deny it, it's beautiful here. The werewolf nodded subconsciously, and Arthur was right. By this time, the sun had set, and the main source of light in this oasis was the light of the stars and moon shining from the glass ceiling.
But the starlight is not dim. Definitely. They were refracted in the countless glass walls and ceilings of the City of the Dead, revealing a dreamlike seven-colored brilliance. This brilliance was magnified countless times under the countless refractions, and was evenly sprinkled throughout the oasis, illuminating a qiē that was at least as bright as the naked eye could see.
And the woods of the oasis are even more fluttering, so lively. The glowing glow of the noctilucent insects live freely in this extremely clean, unpolluted pure land, and their sparkling light is not inferior to the stars in the sky. The glow of the luminous insects also reflected endlessly in the world surrounded by glass sand, expanding hundreds of times and making the road on the ground easy to pass.
The sky is a sea of stars, and the ground is also a sea of stars. There was a hazy mist between the two seas of stars, and this was the outline of the City of the Dead.
Beddiver now understood why the ancients didn't set up lighting in this oasis.
On the one hand, this is a secret supply depot, and the lights at night only reveal its existence;
On the other hand, the natural environment of this oasis is already "self-sufficient", and it can also have enough lighting at night, and things like lamps are simply energy-intensive.
King Arthur jumped from the deck of the battleship and landed lightly on the ground of the oasis. In addition to dirt and weeds, there was also a lot of glass sand with high transparency, so when the Knight King landed, he couldn't help but make a rustling sound of sand rubbing against the upper of his shoes.
The Knight King didn't seem satisfied with the sound he made when he landed, and he snorted, "Hmph, we're finally here." The question now is how to get Evan and Tristan to enter [the City of the Dead] from above the zenith. The werewolf also wrapped his tungsten tongue whip around the handrail at the edge of the deck, and used the whip's cushion to fall silently: "Or maybe they just wait outside, and the task of finding [Desert Rose] will be enough for the two of us to complete?" "Bediwell, are you talking about this again?" King Arthur glared at the werewolf as if he were teaching his own children: "You are so companions on the mission, why do you and Tristan and Evan always get along and quarrel as soon as they meet?" "I didn't." It's the stubble they find first. Bediville defended himself.
"Really?" the Knight King gave the werewolf a suspicious look, staring at Bediwell for a moment.
The werewolf scratched his head and hurriedly changed the subject, "Anyway, the task is to pick that [desert rose] back in this wood, right?—it's just a flower, and it's not a dangerous task, the two of us are really enough." "On this point, the system cannot agree with it. A small golden scarab golem flew down from the golden ship and landed on Bediwell's shoulder.
Eve's voice rang out from the little beetle, cold and inorganic: "I don't know what kind of plant the [Desert Roses] you're looking for, but there's a good chance they're in [Area Zero] of the Seventy-third Supply Station. Unfortunately, due to the Biochemical Leak Crisis, [Area Zero] is currently in quarantine. "Biochemical Leak Crisis?!" Bedivel heard this, and a chill suddenly ran through his back. He knew things weren't going to go so smoothly.
"In the intervening millennia, even though the Administrators are no longer alive, the main computer of the supply station is still running, and it is independently researching various genetically modified ingredients. Eve explains: "In order to develop wartime supplies that were easier to grow and easier to harvest or eat. "However, when that system got away with it, it made a terrifying biochemical monster. Interesting. Arthur snapped in with a sneer, as if he had expected this to happen.
"Correct. Ignoring safety protocols, the development system at the 73rd Supply Station has created genetically modified plants that endanger environmental safety, not only producing food through photosynthesis, but also attacking surrounding organisms to accelerate growth. They are extremely aggressive, and once they leak out, they will inevitably cause great damage to the entire ecological environment of Africa. As a result, Area Zero of the Supply Depot has been quarantined, and it is a dangerous area that only authorized personnel are allowed to enter. "And are we authorized, or are we not authorized?" Arthur asked.
"The system retrieves that Acting Captain Bediville and his entourage applied to enter the supply depot an hour ago, and the system has applied for permission to enter Area Zero. Authorization will pass guò after ten seconds, ten, nine, eight ""Oh, that's great. The werewolf shrugged, "Eve, you originally planned to let us enter Zone Zero and die, right? This qiē was actually planned by you! Eve ignored Bediwell's scolding and said without emotion, "Acting Captain Bediville and his entourage are a total of four, and they can now enter Area Zero." An ice-blue glow shot out from the golden scarab's body, forming a fixed path on the ground, guiding Bediville and them into the area the system wanted them to enter.
"Whew, what are you angry about, Bedi. Arthur laughed mischievously, "Eve is going to let us in to solve the problem of the biochemical leak in this place." In that case, let's take a trip. It's just a matter of taking what you need, and it's fair -- Eve, you said that there were four people in the entourage, and you included Evan and Tristan, but they were outside the zenith, so they couldn't get in?" "Eve is authentic without emotion.
The golden ship left Bedwell and Arthur behind, and began to rise and float, heading towards the ceiling. Looks like it should know about some secret passage that can get Tristan and Evan outside the glass zenith in.
The golden scarab golem on Bediwell's shoulder also changed shape, eventually turning into a wrist-thick ring that fit perfectly on Bediwell's wolf ears.
"Please wear this to stay connected, Acting Captain Bediwell. Eve's voice came from the earring, more clearly than before, and the holographic light that shot out of the earring was more conspicuous. It even emitted a faint icy blue glow that illuminated the environment within a few yards of Bediwell.
"Bastard computer, play with people" Werewolf was not happy to put on earrings, and kept scolding Eve who was making up her own ideas.
"Let's go," Arthur urged, "and look at this, Tristan and Evan will be coming later." Before we join them, let's explore our way. Bediwell snorted and followed the light of the way. They began to venture deep into the dense rainforest, making their way cautiously.
They walked through the forest paths, weaving among countless shrubs and trees that could be named and those that could not be named. The marvellous forest trail seems to be paved with special glass masonry, without half a weed, and is very comfortable to walk on. In addition to the mud, the space on both sides of the path is also covered with crystal sand, which has a different kind of elegance.
Small pale blue flowers called "Breath of the Sky" that attract noctilucent insects are planted on both sides of the path. They glow a hazy blue glow in the moonlight.
Hundreds of glow-in-the-dark insects are attracted by the scent of these small flowers and linger on both sides of the path, their pale green fluorescence that illuminates the crystal sand on the ground. The glass-like sand reflects each other, diffusing the light throughout the forest, making the jungle floor like a starlight. The hazy water vapor around them dilutes and spreads the starlight everywhere, and they seem to be twinkling, like real stars, competing to shine in the misty night.
It's beautiful. The closer he looked, the more he felt the beauty of the region.
The surrounding scenery is already beautiful, especially at night, and is shrouded in silence and serenity. No one would have imagined that in the depths of this quiet jungle, there would be great dangers lurking.
