Chapter 8: The Portal
Landing on the moon is difficult to say, and simple is easy to say.
Zhang Zicheng asked the system to hide the low-dimensional picture first, opened Steam again, and selected a game called "Portal".
The protagonist of the portal has a portal gun that will spawn a portal that connects to each other by shooting two roughly flat pieces of ground.
The range of the projection gun bullets in the game is limited, but Zhang Zicheng already has a preliminary idea.
Since the system can choose the landing point of the game character, he can first reduce the dimension of the game protagonist to the moon and shoot a shot, and then upgrade the game protagonist back to the game, and then reduce the dimension back to the earth.
There should be nothing wrong with this process, as long as the Portal Gun in the game can still function in lower dimensions.
Zhang Zicheng, who has been taught many times, in order to ensure absolute safety, even found a lifeless low-dimensional for experimentation like Kratos did when he lowered the dimension.
But Zhang Zicheng suddenly remembered something: "Wait, the moon seems to have no oxygen...... Those people are afraid that they will not suffocate to death directly when they go to the moon. ”
As he spoke, he raised his head and asked, "System, can you reduce the atmosphere in the God of War Ω game?" ”
System: [There is no air in this game.] 】
Zhang Zicheng was speechless for a moment, but thinking about it, although Kratos itself has various descriptions in the system, there is absolutely no inexplicable setting such as 'need to breathe'.
The game is the art of the camera, everything outside the camera is chaotic, and the plants in the game scene certainly don't produce carbon dioxide.
It is estimated that only games that really set the existence of air can carry out the operation of reducing oxygen dimensionality.
Zhang Zicheng immediately remembered a game that was not very large, called "Lack of Oxygen", in which the setting of the air was extremely detailed, although it was still code in nature, but what if the description in it was low-dimensional?
He opened Steam again and found the game on the store page to purchase.
In this process, Zhang Zicheng is a fairly high-end computer, the fan has begun to whistle, and running three games at the same time makes the CPU run at almost full capacity.
————
Just as Zhang Zicheng was carrying out these operations, Simmons and others ushered in some sanity survivors.
The appearance of these people can be called strange, and they are naturally curious about this strong man with a cold and hard expression and a sharp axe that exudes cold air.
When the whole world is weird, normal becomes unique.
Just hearing Simmons' explanation, they all looked at each other in disbelief and whispered.
"You say...... Is he God? ”
One of them, who appeared to be a mixture of humans and snakes, asked hoarsely in a hissing voice.
Simmons shook his head wearily and said, "No, this man is a puppet of God walking on earth...... And that voice should be God, right? I'm not sure if he'll be able to fix this, but at least he'll take us to the moon first. ”
"What if you go to the moon?"
In the crowd, a tall figure said in an urn voice: "I still remember, scholars said that the moon in the sky is as wide as the earth under our feet, can you communicate with the earth?" ”
Simmons' one-eyed narrowed slightly, as if he would be sleepy until the next second, but he still forced his spirits and said, "I don't know, but our situation couldn't be worse, and any option is worth trying." ”
This sentence made everyone present silent.
A few of them looked at Kratos with a hint of uneasy expectation and hope.
In the square, the corpse that had been slashed by Kratos' sharp axe before quietly melted, and the blood flowing from Simmons' body filled the air with a strong smell of blood.
It's just that everyone present was pondering and didn't take the taste seriously.
As the smell of blood drifted farther and farther away, around the corner of an alley, a wild dog with festering fur and exposed fangs sniffed and turned its head to look in the direction of the square.
"Hmm......" The wild dog roared with thirst in his throat as he slowly walked in the direction of the square.
Just as it crossed the corner, its limbs exerting force, trying to accelerate in the direction of the smell of blood, a leather glove suddenly reached out of the shadows and strangled the wild dog's throat, causing the wild dog to whimper.
"Whew!"
"Poof!"
The flesh was torn apart by the rusty, blunt boning knife, and the blood splattered on the cloak of the hunter's uniform, but it was difficult to distinguish the color of the blood from the leather itself in the darkness of the night.
The hunter with the bandage on his face opened his mouth and drank the black blood from the beast's stump.
Then he threw away the corpse in his hand, spat out a white mist from his mouth, and looked in the direction of the square.
Under the brim of the tricorneal hat, his silver-white pupils were exposed, but the original whites of his eyes were filled with bloodshots, almost black.
"Blood...... There has to be more blood...... I can become an heir ......"
Muttering in a low voice, the hunter hung his head, dragging his heavy boning knife, and walked in the direction of the square.
————
At this time, Zhang Zicheng had already completed the preliminary preparations and put the protagonist of the portal game next to Kratos.
Simmons and the others only felt a flower in front of them, and they saw a strange woman appear next to this strong man.
The woman's whole body was stiff and expressionless...... Her face was expressionless, not as cold and hard as Kratos's, but as wooden as a wood carving, without any look.
This is exactly the protagonist of "Portal", Cher.
Cher and Kratos stand together like the difference between a breathing wax figure and a puppet...... Although there is no life, it can be seen that it is completely from the hands of different craftsmen.
This is...... A new puppet?
Since it is a puppet, what it looks like is reasonable, and Simmons and the others did not dwell on this.
He was just a little curious, could this female puppet lead himself and others to the moon?
What is she going to do? Could she fly? Even if she can fly, how can she carry so many people here?
At this time, Zhang Zicheng's voice sounded: "There is no air on the moon, you put on these oxygen masks first." ”
As he spoke, a large number of breathing masks from the game "Oxygen Shortage" were scattered all over the ground.
Zhang Zicheng opened the modifier to play the game, and although these masks were not connected to any equipment, they were directly modified at the code level to infinite oxygen.
To be honest, Zhang Zicheng really didn't know if it was useful, so he could only try his luck.
Anyway, if these people die, they will also be resurrected by the moon......
When the others heard this, when they looked at each other, Simmons stepped forward directly, put on the mask, and then stood quietly in place, staring at Cher with the portal gun, waiting for the other party to send him to the moon.
Seeing Simmons' performance, the rest of the people also picked up the mask with the flow...... It's just a few who have mutated too much, and the mask can't be worn on the face at all, and this Zhang Zicheng can't pay attention to it.
Then Zhang Zicheng controlled Xue'er, aimed at the ground and pressed the shot button, and a ball of blue energy hit the ground, and an oval pit appeared in an instant.
Before Simmons could react, there was a violent wind howling!
The atmosphere poured madly towards the vacuum moon, and its force was about equal to the pressure of the atmosphere, so huge and terrifying that Simmons and the others couldn't maintain their body at all, and they were instantly sucked in along with other debris and garbage in the square!
Simmons only felt the world spinning, and he couldn't control his body being dragged away.
At that moment, the first reaction in his mind was actually - he was probably swallowed by another monster, right? Talking about landing on the moon is just a huge mouth opening on the ground, how can this go to the moon high in the sky.
Or is this some kind of nasty joke like 'the moon is heaven'?
In the midst of unspeakable disappointment, Simmons felt his whole body fluttering......
A sense of relief came from the relief of all the pressure on his body, and after feeling the chaos of heaven and earth hanging upside down, he regained the balance of his body and stood on the earth with very little strength.
The endless gray and white land made Simmons a little stunned.
Is this hell?
He slowly looked up, and in the endless darkness, he saw a dark star that he had never seen before.
Simmons' Adam's apple twitched, and his one-eye trembled slightly, feeling incredulous.
As a well-educated nobleman and mayor of a port city, Simmons undoubtedly had seen the world's charts.
The familiar outline of the land, the familiar coastline...... Frost in the North and South Poles, atmosphere.
He had already guessed what that star meant.
"That's ...... The land we live in? ”
Other words......
Is he now, on the moon that he has looked up to countless times in the past?
It's as simple as that?
After falling into that cave, you were on the moon in an instant?
Absurd.
That's ridiculous.
Thinking like this in his heart, Simmons' single eye slowly oozed a drop of blood.
Beads of blood floated slowly in the oxygen mask, and under the weak gravity of the moon, they landed at the bottom of the mask.
At this time, Simmons kept warning himself not to have illusions, all this may be unreal, all this may just be a prank of another evil god.
Only then will he be able to restrain himself from being so undignified to his knees, praying and wailing to the incredible god.
