Chapter 143: Base
"Shh
In the face of the psionic flames, the clown, who had been facing everything indifferently, playing at will, and looking down from above, finally let out a terrible scream at this time.
In Zhang Zicheng's palm, the white polyps torn from Miss Translator's facial features were constantly twisting and turning, appearing as if they had been squeezed out of her face and eyeballs from time to time, and then constantly melting in the spiritual energy.
Sure enough, the person of psionic energy is a higher being.
Zhang Zicheng nodded, which is also the reason why he is quite fearless about the clown. On the one hand, the clone is not afraid of risks, and on the other hand, he does not believe that the clown who can enter the gap space can be fearless of psionic energy.
In the room, the original clown's headless body finally stopped being wooden, and it stretched out its hand to grab Zhang Zicheng.
It seems to be an ordinary grasp, but there are obviously energy or physical rules that Zhang Zicheng can't understand for the time being, just to be safe, Zhang Zicheng still stretched out his hand, and pointed like a sword, and a huge scarlet sword qi instantly filled most of the room.
However, considering the fragility and preciousness of the wall of the gap space, Zhang Zicheng still tried his best to restrain this spiritual energy sword light with his willpower, and only kept it in place, rather than completely striking it out.
If the distance is too far, then Zhang Zicheng can't control it accurately, so he can only carry out such a meticulous operation on the true qi. But at close range, not even more than a meter, it is more than enough to do this degree of limitation.
The sword qi that remained in a flying state but did not move in place was like a series of attacks in the game, violently slicing the clown's headless body like a chainsaw.
"Hiss ——!!!"
The headless body obviously had no mouth, but it suddenly let out the same terrible scream, and like the pus of the clown in Zhang Zicheng's hand that was about to be completely annihilated and evaporated, it gradually melted in the spiritual energy.
Seeing this scene, the helmet part of the entire protective suit had been completely torn off, and Miss Translator was completely dumbfounded.
She was a little stunned and said, "This ...... Is what I'm seeing now real, or is it an illusion? ”
Zhang Zicheng shook his hand, shook off the ashes of the clown that didn't exist, and said casually: "It's probably true." ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward and pulled the interpreter up.
The translator got up and shook for a moment before she stood firmly, calmed down, looked down at the tattered protective suit, could only sigh, directly stretched out her arm, and took off the clothes from the torn mouth of the protective suit.
It's covered in the remnants of that clown's explosion, and it might as well be discarded altogether if it loses its protective function.
Miss Translator was a head taller than Beatrice, with the same blonde hair, but her eyes were brown instead of turquoise like Beatrice. But at the same time, her blonde hair was noticeably cared for, smooth as satin, not as frizzy as Beatrice.
Inside the protective suit, the clothes are naturally not worn much. Only a pair of intimate clothing made of white fabric and blue edges seemed to have some protective function.
She glanced at Zhang Zicheng with some uneasiness, hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to say, "Excuse me, who are you?" We have never seen that power like yours...... And you can kill the sixth-level Gap Horror, if you join us, you can at least instantly obtain the rank of Major General or above. ”
Can you get a rank by individual force?
Zhang Zicheng raised his eyebrows, always feeling that it didn't sound like a modern organization, but more like the process of a medieval Hercules joining the army.
But if you think about it, the strict system of the modern army is still rooted in the equality of all beings in thermal weapons. When an enemy appears that thermal weapons cannot deal with, it is not surprising that the pursuit of individual strength reappears.
What's more, the limitation of the space between the cracks makes it impossible to use crowd tactics here, and can only work in small groups.
The walls here represent the room, the space, and the route, which can be said to be extremely precious, and the high-lethal bombs cannot be used to the fullest, and the only thing that can be relied on is the power of the individual elite.
It is not meaningless for Zhang Zicheng to think about this, because it always takes time to be able to change his own system according to the environment. This also means that the time for the earth forces behind the other party to develop the space between the cracks is definitely not short...... Maybe not less than the time Ethereal Illusion stayed here.
And the tall and strong man behind Miss Translator, hearing this, no longer remained silent as much as possible because he couldn't cope with the current situation, he stretched out his hand, and in mid-air as if to stop something, he whispered urgently: "Wei, are you crazy?" We're not even sure if he's human or not. Even if he saves us, it can't be guaranteed to be a disguise of a high-intelligence creature......"
Obviously, he knew that what he said could be heard by everyone present, but he still said it without hesitation. I don't know if it's impulsive or deliberately risky.
Judging from the situation where he stabilized his mind and stayed in place before, the latter is not impossible.
Via shook her head, "Stan, though we do need to be cautious. But up to now, the other party has not concealed his behavior and strength, and even the lies claiming to be from the earth are very perfunctory and casual. But the above two points, coupled with the fact that he has saved us several times and has always maintained non-offensive goodwill, I think it is necessary for us to discuss the intention of cooperation frankly, otherwise it will be the biggest loss. ”
The conversation between the two was obviously also for Zhang Zicheng, and after a brief exchange, they were silent with each other, and then turned their heads to look at Zhang Zicheng and Beatrice.
Beatrice was ignorant, they couldn't understand what they said anyway, and it was all over with the master.
Zhang Zicheng touched his chin and said, "Don't think about it, I am indeed an earthling, and I am a solid Chinese." ”
As he spoke, he spread his hands and smiled: "The Taiwan Strait is an inseparable part of China - you see, this sentence guarantees the authenticity of my words." ”
Stan doesn't react, he doesn't understand what he means. And Weiya, who knows more about the situation in Asia, can literally understand what Zhang Zicheng is talking about, but he doesn't get too much of the stalk of this somewhat simplified Internet.
But they can get another layer of information, the man in front of them does know about the earth.
However, considering the previous gap that can disguise itself as his own person, it can only be said that it has increased some trust, but not much.
But coupled with Zhang Zicheng's personal strength, I have to believe it.
————
Next, Via and Stan continued to lead Zhang Zicheng to their base, but the two were a little far away, and even Stan walked far in front of everyone, leaving only Via to lead the way for Zhang Zicheng and the others.
Only every time they pass by a room with water, the trio will see Stan trying to wash himself inside, and when they find that they have caught up, they immediately set off and continue on their way, remaining isolated from the rest of the room for more than half the room.
Via explained, "Although the threat on me has been lifted by you, we can't tell if there will be any after-effects, and it is up to Stan to clear the way. After contacting the base, we will be sanitized. ”
As she spoke, she glanced at Zhang Zicheng a little nervously: "This is a necessary process, in order to prevent the unknown virus in the gap space, please understand......"
Zhang Zicheng said to himself: "It doesn't matter, as long as you don't need to take off your clothes and be washed by the servants with a water gun." ”
He described the stereotype of going to prison in European and American movies, and Wei Ya was afraid that Zhang Zicheng was serious, so he quickly explained: "That's impossible, how can we do such a thing." At that time, you will only need to wait for 15 minutes in the isolation chamber...... I, I'll be with you all the way. ”
Zhang Zicheng nodded, he didn't care about it, he didn't really like mavericks. General rules and regulations, as long as they are reasonable, Zhang Zicheng is still willing to abide by them even if his strength becomes stronger.
However, he looked at Stan, who had been trying to slip forward, and smiled, "If that big man is disgusted with the dirty and disgusting protective suit, why don't you just take it off?" ”
Via shook her head, "Stan's hazmat suit, and possibly a fragment of the clown." We just chatted privately for a couple of sentences, guessing that my protective clothing may have accidentally been torn before, which gave the clown a chance to infiltrate, and his protective clothing should still be intact, but it doesn't mean that there is no clown tissue residue on it, so it's better to clean it. ”
As she spoke, she smiled a little helplessly: "After all, the protective suit protected him again, and he was not almost digested by the clown in the protective suit like me." I had to take it off because my clothes were torn, and since there was no problem with his protective suit, it was better to wear it. ”
Zhang Zicheng nodded, no longer entangled in this small question, and suddenly said: "Speaking of which, how did you enter this crack space?" ”
Space in the cracks?
Zhang Zicheng had already said this word once, and when he heard it again, Wei Ya thought of more questions.
The other party is obviously so mysterious, in the interstitial corridor, and knows the knowledge of the earth, why is this space called differently?
Via vaguely felt that he had grasped some possibility, but there was no evidence, and it was too unreliable to rely on speculation, so he could only hold it in his heart.
She replied, as usual, "We entered through an entrance called a hinge...... That's all I can say, I'm very sorry. I don't know the specifics, and even when I entered the corridor of the interstitial, I was sitting on the transport cart and didn't see the specific scene, but I knew that there was such a thing according to the information. Our team leader may know better, he was in charge of driving the transport truck in the first place. ”
Hinges?
Zhang Zicheng wrote down the word and secretly figured out its meaning.
First of all, this thing, as the name suggests, is probably a book. According to the leader's inquiry about the illusion, he asked her if she was 'crushed' by something to come in, and the combination of the two seemed to be able to taste a little bit.
Could it be that after opening it, standing in the middle and closing the page, you can directly travel to the huge pages inside the book?
The guess can only stop here, because the follow-up information is missing. However, Zhang Zicheng didn't care, he had more expectations for his actions this time......
The crowd kept moving forward, almost crossing hundreds of rooms, and Kong Illusion couldn't help but sigh in English: "You can actually remember such a complicated route? It's so powerful, I'm afraid of getting lost, and when I'm stuck here, I don't dare to run too far. ”
Zhang Zicheng and Wei Ya both glanced at the void illusion with strange eyes, and then Zhang Zicheng stretched out his hand and pointed to the top of each passage they walked through the room.
There were marks carved by a knife.
Without further ado, Void returned to silence and returned to the end of the group.
Taishe is dead, no, isn't it just not careful to observe? Normal people don't look up at the ceiling, right?
At this moment, Wei Ya looked at the mark on it, but couldn't help but sigh, and said in a low voice: "I don't know ...... captain and them"
Zhang Zicheng shrugged: "I heard the direction of their escape before, not the route we came. With him more than twenty rooms away from us, even I couldn't sense where they were, so I could only wish them luck. ”
Via nodded silently, still a little worried in her heart.
Mainly, in that state of panic, it is hard to imagine that the captain has time to make a mark on the wall.
And if it's marked...... In fact, there are risks.
That's the risk of being discovered by other hackers and moving down that path...... As a result, as long as there is a fixed route, it will always become more and more dangerous, rather than getting safer with walking.
At this point, they can only carve different error marks in other passages as much as possible every time they explore, so that those who cannot understand the code, numbers or words cannot find the right path.
However, their numbers are limited, and even if they are misguided, they can only wander around the correct route, and may even attract the horror of people who would not have touched the safe route.
It can only be said that there are pros and cons to any method, and with the current manpower and equipment of the base, it is not possible to achieve a simpler and more convenient way of recording.
Suddenly, Via's afterglow noticed that the light in front of him suddenly brightened.
In other rooms, most of them have a fixed light source. However, there are no uniformities, some rooms are simply incandescent lamps, some rooms have faint light from the walls and ceilings, and some passages are simply pitch black, and the light of the next room can only guide the way.
With the exception of those with incandescent ceilings, most of the rooms have a dim yellowish glow. At this time, everything in this huge space is so bright, there are almost no shadows and dead ends.
In all directions, even the ceiling, which is at least 100 meters high, is illuminated by searchlights, diffuse and reflected throughout the entire room almost the size of a square, and everything is extremely clear.
"We're here!"
Wei's mood finally rose, she turned her head to look at Zhang Zicheng excitedly, and introduced with some pride: "This is our base, Todd Zero Reconnaissance Station!" ”
However, she found that Zhang Zicheng's face was serious that she had never seen before.
