Chapter 3 Preliminary Exploration

The office was silent.

Since Zhang Ting entered the door for the second time, this atmosphere has been maintained in the room.

The calm atmosphere seemed to grow heavier and heavier as time passed.

It had been ten minutes since he had come in, and the prisoner who had been brought in had been taken out again.

Feng Shui takes turns, and now it is his turn to face this feeling of sitting on pins and needles alone.

Zhang Ting, who was standing, felt the gaze from above. The deep and sharp gaze was like a sharp blade, as if it was about to cut him open from the inside out.

Thanks to the memories carved into his body muscles for decades, he barely straightened his waist and accepted the scrutiny of the leader of the camp without changing his face.

His feeling was not wrong, Shen Sen was indeed staring at Zhang Ting intently at the moment. In other words, Shen Sen wanted to find the answer he wanted from Zhang Ting.

As the captain of the camp guard personally selected by Shen Sen after coming to this world. There is no doubt that Zhang Ting is one of the people in this camp who he trusts and relies on the most.

can be favored by Shen Sen from modern society, Zhang Ting naturally has a good character.

Speaking of talent, it is better to say that Zhang Ting has knowledge that other scavengers do not have, or in other words, he has the breath left over from this world civilization.

What does the real wasteland look like?

Shen Sen couldn't say that he fully understood it until now, but he knew what it was like for human beings to lose their wisdom crystallization.

In a world where modern civilization has almost disappeared, finding a knowledgeable person is almost as difficult as finding a three-legged toad.

Because of this, it is more difficult to manage a scavenger camp than it is to manage a company with thousands of people in the previous life.

And Zhang Ting is such a capable "three-legged toad" in his eyes.

This metaphor is very appropriate, because to a certain extent, Zhang Ting is indeed not a "natural person", he is a special relic left over from the era of this world civilization.

There is no father, no mother, and no relatives or friends. Compared to Shen Sen, Zhang Ting is more like an outlier in this world.

He is the product of unified and centralized cultivation after the development of human technology and ambition to the extreme, using powerful technology and huge materials.

"Standard Mechanized Soldier!"

This is the identity given to Zhang Ting by this world.

From the moment Zhang Ting was born, from a conscious early childhood to a young adult, he was told by the organization that nurtured him and his comrades-in-arms that he was the perfect warrior born from the vast genetic pool of human beings.

He and the same batch, tens of thousands of companions. It was intensively raised, trained, injected with various physical enhancement drugs, and conducted various military training.

If there are no accidents, according to the next progress, he may be at the end of the training, armed with a weapon, and set foot on the battlefield.

But for some reason, Zhang Ting told Shen Sen that the last moment of his picture about this world was the memory of entering the rest cabin after training.

However, when he opened his eyes again and woke up, he found himself dug out of the ground and used as a "broiler" by the hungry green-eyed wanderers of the wasteland.

Perhaps it was luck or perhaps it was a coincidence, a few hours before Zhang Ting's death, Shen Sen happened to meet and repel the group of wanderers, and rescued Zhang Ting from the enemy's "reserve grain".

In other words, Shen Sen was not only Zhang Ting's superior, but also his savior.

The foundation of trust is thus established, and it all seems to be preparing for today,

"Zhang Ting......"

Shen Sen tightened his voice and interrupted the captain of the guard, who seemed to be restless at this moment.

At this time, according to the plot development in the TV series or novels, he should probably say a few words of encouragement to Zhang Ting, in order to express his value and trust in him.

But what he finally blurted out was just a simple explanation.

"Don't be surprised to see anything for a while, stay calm."

Listening to what Shen Sen said, Zhang Ting was a little dazed, but he didn't ask or say. Just nod your head to show obedience.

This is exactly what Shen Sen appreciates about Zhang Ting, he prohibits it, only does it and doesn't say it, and he is a very perfect subordinate.

He took a deep look at Zhang Ting, manipulated his consciousness, and summoned the deep dark gate again.

In the middle of the abandoned room, time and space are distorted and light is swallowed up. Beneath the bottomless darkness lies an indescribable mystery and unknown.

"This, this is ......"

"Sir, you're ......"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ting fell into a huge shock.

His eyes widened and his lips opened slightly, trying to say something, but he was eventually buried by increasingly complex emotions.

This is something that Shen Sen expected, such an "existence", anyone who sees it will fall into a situation of doubting life.

"Do you know what this is?"

Shen Sen didn't wait for Zhang Ting to answer, and said to himself.

"You can think of this as a door, a gate of time and space, and behind the door is another whole new world!"

"But now, the specific situation on the other side is unknown, it may be a mountain of gold, or it can be a hell......"

Shen Sen spit out incredible facts one after another, explaining to Zhang Ting.

His conjectures, some of the physical theories he had heard on Earth in his previous life. was like cramming, and he threw it to Zhang Ting.

But Shen Sen didn't notice that with his explanation, what appeared on Zhang Ting's face was not a sudden realization, but another emotion.

Unspeakable fanaticism!

Zhang Ting looked at the dark door in front of him, as if he was watching a "miracle". In his pupils, an emotion called piety gradually took over his brain.

Shen Sen ignored one point, he forgot that this was not the earth, and he also ignored the speed at which the wasteland reshaped people's three views.

If on Earth, most people are surprised and may give an inaccurate but scientific explanation of this ellipse, what space-time wormholes, multi-dimensional space, etc.

But here, no one will be interested in these things, and not many people will believe in these theories.

Even Zhang Ting, who had a certain amount of education, knew from Shen Sen's explanation that behind this door was a whole new world. But in his mind, this is science, but it is also a "miracle".

Correspondingly, the person who created this door at this moment, Shen Sen, in his eyes, became the person who created miracles.

In such a world, someone has created a door to a new world, and this person is his leader.

What an incredible and heart-wrenching truth.

No one knows how intense Zhang Ting's mental activity was at this time. But when Zhang Ting looked at Shen Sen again after the short explanation, the pious light in his eyes was comparable to that of the most deeply believing believers on the planet.

Loyalty could not be weighed, and Shen Sen only felt that Zhang Ting was more respectful to him, and in a sense, his feelings were not wrong.

"That's pretty much it, and now, I'm going to give you a mission."

Shen Sen paused and looked at the gate of time and space in front of him. The eyes are like a deep well reflecting the dark universe, shining with a faint light.

"Go through the world behind that door, then return safely, and write down everything you see and tell me."

"I hope that's a satisfying outcome."

"Yes, mission guaranteed!"

……

As the saying goes, sooner rather than later!

After explaining all the precautions that may occur, Shen Sen arranged for Zhang Ting to set off immediately.

The two grip positions are shaped like wheel-shaped electromagnetic pistols, 100 projectiles, which are all the equipment that Zhang Ting carried when he went to another world.

This little thing, going to an unknown world, no matter how you look at it, is a bit stretched.

But this is really not Shen Sen's stinginess, let alone that he deliberately gave away people's heads, the most he can support and support the action in his hands is this little thing, after all, in the wasteland, it is even more difficult to find a little good thing.

Camp 1123, within a radius of 100 kilometers, can be regarded as the largest force among them.

But in the eyes of Shen Sen in his previous life, the so-called big forces were only short generals.

In a year's time, the area he has explored now is about thousands of square kilometers, almost the size of a county town in his previous life.

But on such a large land, there are only four or five camps made up of scavengers.

Among these camps, No. 1123 has the largest population, with more than 1,000 people. It also has the most weapons, with a hundred old electromagnetic guns of various models.

As the leader, Shen Sen even had the most powerful weapon in this place, an old mechanical exoskeleton.

However, it is like a car from a previous life. The more luxurious the sports car, the more expensive it is, and the more expensive it is to drive. The same goes for mechanical exoskeletons.

An operation of ordinary intensity will use up a small number of energy batteries, and the high-speed electromagnetic machine gun on board, a short action of a few minutes, even if you are careful to save a little, will need to use up hundreds of bullets.

Unfortunately, in a wasteland with near-non-production capacity, batteries and special bullets are worth more than they can imagine, and in the eyes of most people, they are more valuable than their lives.

Therefore, even this highly unknown otherworldly exploration mission, due to the current shortage of weapon resources in the camp, Zhang Ting could only be left alone, with weapons and a small number of bullets, and go alone.

Through the dark and deep passages, the world goes from chaos to clarity.

When Zhang Ting came back to his senses, he found that he had passed through the gate of time and space and came to a strange world.

There were no enemies suddenly coming at you, and there were no anomalous creatures.

In front of me is a yellow-green color similar to the wasteland landscape.

"Safety!"

Zhang Ting put down the firearm in his hand, and his tense nerves relaxed slightly.

He bent down, looked at his surroundings, and observed the world according to Shen Sen's explanation.

There was no discomfort in the body, breathing was smooth, and the walking movement was as always.

According to the judgment criteria given by Shen Sen, Zhang Ting gave a preliminary evaluation of this world, which is a planet suitable for the survival of carbon-based lifeforms.

He looked up and looked around him further, and suddenly a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

At first glance, it looks like a deserted grassland, full of sparse shrubs and grasslands, and tall mountains rise and fall on the horizon.

But at the end of the line of sight, Zhang Ting found a creation that did not belong to natural formation.

In a row, there are four or five man-made buildings with strange shapes. White walls and thatched roofs are faintly visible.

"There may be sapient beings!"

Zhang Ting has never seen this style of architecture, but the appearance of artificial buildings means that there is a high possibility of intelligent creatures here.

In his mind, he adjusted the danger index again.

Zhang Ting turned around, glanced at the space-time gate that was stagnant behind him, and after noting down the location according to the surrounding markers, he sneaked towards the location in the direction of the building.

The Commander had told him that the Space-Time Gate would only be visible to those who had passed through the wasteland with his consent.

Therefore, Zhang Ting was not worried that he would not be able to find his way back, nor was he afraid that the creatures of that world would penetrate into the wasteland world.

Without Shen Sen's permission, no matter what world it is, even if the gate of time and space is placed in front of him, it will still be invisible.

Zhang Ting's figure was moving rapidly all the way on the low grassland, like a lone wolf running.

Thanks to the perfection of innate genes and more than twenty years of high-intensity military training. Even though he was malnourished for a long time, his physical fitness easily reached the limits of human beings.

After about twenty minutes, Zhang Ting, with a red face and no breath, came to the low townhouse.

Prairie, shrubs!

White walls, thatched roofs!

It looks like an abandoned and dilapidated pasture.

If Shen Sen had been here, he would have been a geography lover of the earth, probably surprised and familiar with this scene.

The style of these buildings seems to be typical of the architecture of a country named Holan on a planet before he traveled.

Zhang Ting, who came from the wasteland, didn't know about this knowledge from the earth, but he knew that this was what his leader Shen Sen said was a major discovery.

The house looks like it's been a long time and has a small patio.

Zhang Ting cautiously raised the firearm in his hand, and with one hand tried to push open the door of one of the houses.

"Crunch!"

It was unlocked, and the door was easily pushed open.

Zhang Ting bowed, walked into the room gently, and looked around vigilantly.

Wooden tables, chairs resembling plastic, porcelain vases and glass artifacts are rare to see in the wasteland.

These things were almost impossible to see in the current wasteland, but Zhang Ting only glanced at them roughly and was no longer interested.

Do your best, complete every order of the leader with quality and quantity, and serve the leader with perfect results, this is his goal this time, and he will not allow himself to make any mistakes......

Zhang Ting ignored the furniture and decorations and went deeper inside.

When he pushed open the door again, it was a valuable discovery.

In a small room, there is a cabinet about two floors in it. There were a few books and newspapers scattered in the cabinet.

Zhang Ting's eyes flashed with joy, this was one of the things that the leader asked him to look for.

After withdrawing a curtain, Zhang Ting wrapped all the books and newspapers together, carried them on his back, and prepared to retreat.
