With the winter wind blowing, the sun sets and the sun rises.

In the mountains and forests outside a highway.

Jiang Cang leaned against a tree and sipped rice wine, looking at the sun high in the sky close to noon, this is the place where the fog descends guided by his friendship, and it is a world that has never appeared in the data.

It seems that this detailed information can really only be checked in the next world.

But this scene, the 'world that has never appeared' can also prove that there are too many secrets and too many 'hidden' in the Yuan Energy world. ’

To open these hidden conditions, it may be some kind of elemental object, friendship, and supernatural power, and the task to touch the world that was not in the previous life.

But it can also be said that it is his own rebirth, which has led to a certain influence, and there are more Yuan Energy worlds that match him, which is reasonable.

And I have the memory of my past life, and I have a comparison, so I know that these worlds have never appeared.

Anyway, the appearance of the hidden world, that's probably what it means, if you really want to explain it, you can only say that the rules of Yuan Energy are mysterious, and in conventional terms, it's not very clear to explain, and you can only understand it in your heart.

Jiang Cang turned around and looked at the highway two miles away, his eyes seemed to pass through the shadows of the dead trees around him, it was better to think about it more, it was better to look at the scenery in the real world that was getting better and better for a while before leaving.

And it also passes with time.

The sun was turning into noon.

Around eleven fifty.

Jiang Cang wrapped his mobile phone and other real objects with a waterproof back as usual and hid them in an inconspicuous place.

When everything is done, just wait where you are, nothing else.

But at the same time, all over the Central Plains.

Xiao and Wu Hong are wandering in a mountain forest, you say a word, I talk one by one, they get along very well, anyway, as long as they don't have any signs of sudden action, this is a harmonious conversation.

In a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, next to the big rock, Yun Mu is reading a book, this book is the information recorded by the owl, Yun Mu will occasionally take it out and read it, review the old and learn the new.

In a wilderness resort base in Yuan Province, the shadow is hiding in a tree, the figure is completely obscured by the leaves, and is looking at the passers-by in the distance.

On a small island in a lake, Rou Zheng stared blankly at the waterhole in the distance, as quiet as the lake.

Back to the old solo march, they didn't have so much to talk to again.

However, the pioneers are quietly waiting for the next world, and they all have friendships, so there is nothing to panic about.

However, the rest of the Yuan Powers, who have no friendships, are driving around as usual, listening to the news, looking at the weather forecast and posts in their cities, and worrying about where the next world will appear.

If it is delayed, it will be strength and progress, and it will be uncomfortable to catch the heart, and it will be difficult to make up for it.

It is also because of this that the favor of the 'Seventeen Places' is very important.

They can mobilize the images of the 'monitoring satellites' to see where the fog appears, not to mention the first time, and they can also pass a little later.

But this 'surveillance' does not mean that they can get to the full extent of the fog, but that they see where the satellite signal is suddenly distorted and interferes with the past and cannot capture the image of the past, and then deduces that there is fog here.

It was also nearly twelve o'clock.

At the base of Seventeen, in a metal room surrounded by surveillance footage.

Many staff members looked at the screens around them, and when the time reached twelve o'clock, they judged that there might be fog here based on where the surveillance image suddenly disappeared, or reversed the location of the satellite to capture the scene, and saw that the signal in a certain place was interfered with.

For a while, they made a unified judgment and prepared to send a message.

At the same time, on a road outside the city, twelve cars passed one after another.

Among them, in the middle of the car, Team Zhou looked at his watch, and when he saw that the time was at twelve o'clock, he took out his mobile phone, and while waiting for the letter, he said to Xiao Zhao, who was driving: "It is estimated that in less than a minute, the news in the base will be confirmed." Be ready to be ready to go. ”

Team Zhou said, shaking his head again, "Alas.. This is accompanied by the appearance of fog, and the images within a radius of ten miles are blocked... Otherwise, with the help of images, you can also find out who entered the interference zone during this time, and then deduce who is the evolutionary."

"Distracted?" Xiao Zhao asked curiously, and then suddenly asked, "Is this what Xiao said in the post about the protection of the Yuan Energy Rule?" ”

"You can understand it this way." Team Zhou nodded, "The owl is indeed very powerful, as if he knows everything... Thinking about it carefully, it's no wonder that Lao Qi didn't dare to investigate, probably for fear of setting himself on fire. And there is nothing wrong with what he has done in this matter, it has nothing to do with him."

When Team Zhou said this, he said no more, because he saw that when the time came to 12:45, the 'buzz' mobile phone vibrate, and 62 text messages came in a row, indicating the location where the image was disturbed, and there was a 'fog' here. ’

This is already known, and there are many others, but some are on the sea, in the mountains, in volcanic areas, some distance from the place of normal human life, and they are really going to arrive, and the fog may disappear, and then the text message is not sent, and it is useless to send more, and it will delay the time to watch and subconscious judgment.

The people in the seventeen monitoring rooms understood the reason that the information was more concise and agreed, but they only recorded these locations in the file and did not send them to Team Zhou.

But in less than a minute, the foggy locations of all parts of the Central Plains were unified and perfected, and this is the power of the organization.

Make sure that the people in the seventeen places can basically find the location of the fog near them in the next time.

And after Team Zhou received the news, they also sent text messages to Lao Qi, several other Yuan Ability, and the Yuan Ability Organization, all of which were closest to them.

Everyone didn't talk from beginning to end, not for anything else, not to keep mysterious, it's too much time to call, it's really better to have a text message, you can scan it clearly at a glance.

It was also when Team Zhou informed Lao Qi of them.

Jiang Cang had already walked three hundred in the mist.

At this moment, the door appeared, knocked three times, and then pushed it again.

The fog disappeared all around.

What appeared in front of me was a dim sky, surrounded by wilderness, and the temperature was around 10 degrees, like the end of autumn.

He was now in this wilderness, with no one to see for miles, the weeds were withered and yellow, the wind had stirred up the dust, and there were several wrecks of cars, rusty, and the sand 'hissed' on them.

At the same time, there are two more prompts in mind.

One is 'identity', he is a 'wanderer' in this world, simple and clear, basically no identity.

The second is to go to a place about thirteen miles away, where the friendship mission is.

In addition, the time of the appearance of Yuan Energy is unknown, this is already used to it, and it is similar to what the information says, in the future world, it is the Yuan Energy that is getting less and less, which also causes the 'supply to exceed demand', and it is difficult to ask for a Yuan Energy to the point of death.

In the future, the Yuan Energy will improve its strength, basically relying on Yuan Objects and exercises, and Yuan Objects can actually be regarded as special Yuan Energy, but there is no such thing as 'restoring life'.

The longevity pill is therefore precious.

Jiang Cang thought about it, and then changed into a style of clothes, a tattered one, a little old, a 'wanderer's clothes', he had originally fused, and this gray sky, and this identity is also more appropriate.

The wreckage of the car in the distance is proof that the world may be as rotten as this car.

This dress is more or less correct, not abrupt.

Perhaps, just like the poster I saw in reality yesterday, this world is a world of disaster.

But the breath of air travel, there is also aura, but it is not the same as aura, and it is also different from evil qi and ghost aura, and when you look at it, this 'aura' is slightly gray, anyway, you can try to absorb it, and the quality is the same as the aura level in the Lingwu world!

That's a good thing.

Jiang Cang must be sure in his heart, don't think about it first, take a look at the place where the mission is directed, maybe he can understand the background of this world.

And as time passes.

Wind and sand, yellow dust everywhere, the wreckage of dilapidated houses, rusty fragments of cars that seem to have been torn apart by some strange force, are the only scenery in this world.

Jiang Cang walked all the way, and when he passed by these dilapidated scenes, he also saw a city wall of cement, mixed with steel bars and broken tiles thirteen miles away.

Shrouded in dim sunlight and cast shadows, the city was huge, like a giant beast crawling in the dust.

Most of the pedestrians passing by the city gate were dressed in shabby clothes like themselves, and there were also a few people who were slightly decently dressed and carrying 'gray light' guns on their backs? ’

Their actions, their arrival, made the passers-by next to them show respectful looks, and courteously let them go first.

Jiang Cang looked at it, these people's physique was above '10', maybe this was the preferential treatment of the strong.

Don't think about it.

Jiang Cang entered the city like an ordinary person, and there were no city guards on duty.

If you look at the buildings around the city, like the walls of this city, they are all broken bricks and tiles, and occasionally you can see the wreckage of the main chassis with computers inside, as if it was stuffed with extra gaps.

It's just that the paint on it is the same as the car I saw on the road, and the paint has long since fallen off, and it is all rust.

Jiang Cang glanced at it a few times, and then walked towards a 'bakery' three hundred meters to the west.

Wait to come here.

Crooked lettering, the sign reads 'Bread Dining.' ’

There was a middle-aged man standing at the door, he was different from the silent pedestrians who came and went, but when he saw Jiang Cang coming, he glanced Jiang Cang up and down, and asked curiously: "Alas, your face is tight?" ”

"I just came to your city." Jiang Cang looked at the middle-aged, his physique was at '3', and he was still his own guide, the person who marked the task, so he didn't hide anything.

"Oh.." When the middle-aged man heard that he had guessed correctly, he smiled and pointed to the bakery behind him, like soliciting customers, and asked politely: "It's hard to run alive from the wild, right?" Have you eaten? ”

"Nope." Jiang Cang told the truth, he really didn't have lunch.

The middle-aged man suddenly smiled and pushed open the door of the bakery.

Candlelight, Jiang Cang saw that there were many guests inside, twelve tables, arranged like a restaurant, but what was eaten here was bread, wheat wine, and a little bacon.

"I'm the owner of this shop, and my surname is Zheng." Boss Zheng's smile was very sincere, "The first meal of a new guest in the city, my old Zheng will give a 50% discount." You also heard from others that I eat here cheaply, so you came here, right? ”

"Yes." Jiang Cang nodded and followed Boss Zheng into the store.

The guests who were eating nearby just looked up at Jiang Cang, and then continued to enjoy their lunch in silence.

A glass of wheat wine, a few loaves of bread, and a small slice of bacon, they all ate with intoxicated expressions.

"How much." Jiang Cang walked to the counter, and when he saw Boss Zheng starting to prepare, he turned his head to look at the guests, "The same meal as these friends, how much is it." ”

"What ore do you have?" Lao Zheng tilted a large wooden barrel at the counter and poured clear wheat wine into the clean cup, "Ten catties of iron ore, or one catty of copper ore." ”

Lao Zheng said, glanced at Jiang Cang's clothes again, and felt that Jiang Cang's pockets were flat, not like he was holding anything, so he smiled again, "Of course, in addition to these ores, other interesting things can also be used." But as you can see, we don't have enough building materials here, and I want to make the store look better. But.."

He pursed his lips and pointed to the backyard with his free finger, "But if you don't have anything, help me wash the dishes today, you can't eat my meal for nothing." ”

"Definitely. What Boss Zheng said makes sense. Jiang Cang nodded, took out the one-yuan coin from his pocket, and handed it to Lao Zheng, "How about Boss Zheng take a look at this?" ”

Under the light, the coin is somewhat reflective.

Boss Zheng looked at the coin, touched his chin, revealed his memory, and suddenly said in surprise: "You are..." A coin from the last century? It's an old antique.."

"Coins from the last world?" When a few guests next to him heard this, they also looked at it.

Jiang Cang was indifferent and put the coin on the somewhat old counter, "It sounds like the price of this coin should be good." Take this deal, treat me to a meal, and the bowl will not be washed. ”

"I'm taking advantage of you." Lao Zheng was a little embarrassed, but he still picked up the coin and decided to invite Jiang Cang to eat a few more meals and return the antique money, or find someone who likes to collect, sell it at a good price, and divide Jiang Cang's some.

But I also saw that Boss Zheng made money, and with just one meal, he earned an antique with a high price, and some people may be dissatisfied and think why this matter doesn't fall on their heads.

A strong man nearby opened his mouth and said to Jiang Cang, who was waiting for Lao Zheng to prepare a meal: "Boss Zheng's business is doing well!" If this little brother's Du Dan spent money coins, if he sold them to a collector in our city, he would definitely be able to buy half of your bakery! ”

"What are you yelling about?" When Lao Zheng saw this person, his face sank, "When you don't have money to eat, I don't want a penny from you, I invite you to eat for free!" You're going to repay me like that now? Dismantle my desk? ”

"Hey, hey.." The strong man laughed twice, and when he saw that the guests next to him didn't talk to him, he didn't coax, he felt a little embarrassed, as if he had taken revenge, so he stood up and smiled at Jiang Cang, and said simply to Jiang Cang: "If you want to find a collector, remember to contact me, I will wait for you on the street next to you for an hour." Earlier, the world was cataclysmic, money was worthless, and there were not many such old antiques .."

When the words fell, the strong man looked at Boss Zheng again, and he didn't smile, Boss Zheng just lost his face, and he was not ashamed here.

And Jiang Cang looked at this person, saw him stand up and leave, and in Lao Zheng's eyes with a dry smile and wanted to repay the money, he didn't care about the strong man at all from beginning to end.

Although people are kind enough to persuade themselves, they are not also for personal interests, it is estimated that they are working for collectors and want to take a commission.

That's not wrong in itself.

But I didn't hear Boss Zheng say that he had helped him, and he still did it like this, so he was a bit impersonal.

If he was replaced by him, Boss Zheng would have saved him, and he saw that Boss Zheng wanted to trade with others, even if it was to 'bluff' people.

He will not be angry, but will wait for the transaction to end, go out to keep up with the person who was deceived, and put all the money that Boss Zheng defrauded others.

Especially when Jiang Cang took the meal, and when he was eating at the table next to him, he also heard others talking about strong men, saying that he was coming to Boss Zheng's place to eat now, in addition to being cheap, many times he was deceiving newcomers from other places.

Boss Zheng thought that the two had a friendship and had endured it, but he often said what he said about the strong man before, but the strong man was so shameless, and he was better than him, he couldn't help it.

can only be out of sight and out of mind, when the strong man is there, he is waiting for customers outside the store.

Jiang Cang heard everyone chatting, and he also roughly understood what happened, and maybe because of the beginning of his 'coin', many people were also talking about the origin of the 'gray world'.

Jiang Cang listened quietly, and while drinking wine, he heard them say that the world changed 'one hundred and twenty years' ago.

The Earth Today... It was a very distant word, now called 'Free Planet' by everyone, very white, very apt name, there was no such thing as a superior, only a separate camp.

The reason for all this is because of a strange-looking 'gray stone' buried underground. ’

It is not known who mined it, but as it was mined, it seemed to have broken some kind of seal, and it appeared one after another in the mountains around the world, in the underground and under the sea in many places.

It is called the 'Thorn', a substance, similar to a crystal, representing power, bondage, control, and erosion.

Because if humans or various creatures that come into contact with it are directly touched or devoured without any 'quarantine measures', people who are not physically fit for 'thorns' will be infected by thorns, and gradually decay and die, similar to a skin disease.

or physically fit to survive infection.

But among the surviving people, those who are not firm in their minds, their hearts will be infinitely amplified, although they have gained strength beyond ordinary people, they have also become 'thorny creatures', and their personalities are somewhat extreme.

It is also such people, the terrifying 'thorny human creatures' and 'beastly thorny creatures', who have paralyzed the whole world.

Even if the final weapons are used, there is nothing they can do but make them evolve more bizarrely.

In the end, the world will be yellow sand and dust, and it will still be humans.

But there are also a very small number of people who come into contact with thorns, who simply become powerful, and their character is undoubtedly ordinary.

Both are mutations, and both are called thorn creatures, and have mastered 'thorn magic', no different.

It's just that one is crazy and the other is normal.

However, although the weirdness of thorns makes people feel terrifying, as if they will become 'thorny creatures' when they come into contact, they are the high-end currency of this 'new world', 'own planet', and they are in high demand.

Thorn creatures need it for cultivation, some precious potions, and magic, secret arts, and physical techniques researched through thorns, all need thorns to buy.

And after Jiang Cang heard this, he also knew that although thorns brought disasters, they were also integrated into life.

It appeared, and the world changed, evolved, and resembled a new era.

For example, the 'gray guns' I saw outside the city before were a kind of 'thorn magic items', and those people might also be thorny creatures.

But relatively speaking, take Boss Zheng's example.

Jiang Cang also found ordinary money, food, etc., if it weren't for someone like a collector who specially collected, these would be counted as ordinary currency in the new era, and no matter how much they accumulated, they could not compare to the value of various minerals and the value of 'thorn' minerals.

Over time, in order to be strong and obtain thorns, many people spontaneously formed small teams to explore, hunting and killing 'beast thorn creatures' that exist in the wild, occupying the mining sites where thorns are condensed, and using them for themselves, or selling them to large companies.

Such a person is called a 'monster hunter', also called a 'treasure hunter'. ’

It's just that although they are human beings, they are like thorns, they also represent power, madness, killing, and invasion.

Most of them are composed of thorn creatures, and in the process of treasure hunting, they also kill thorn creatures who are also humans, occupy their cities, and obtain the mining rights of thorn secrets.

All in all.

After Jiang Cang read this, he found that this world was really chaotic, no wonder it was called a free planet, and it was completely a place of greed, killing, and taboos.
