Via also suddenly reacted after a moment.

It's so quiet.

As an operational expedition and military function base, it is almost impossible to be so quiet. At all times, there should be transport trucks coming and going, soldiers running around the playground, engineering teams carrying large equipment.

But in this brightly lit environment, there is an eerie silence to the extreme.

The silence is almost deafening due to the absence of natural noises such as insects and birds in the gap, and if you can't hear your own breathing and heartbeat, in this extremely quiet environment, the tinnitus in the ear cannot catch the vibrations and produce on its own, which is almost like a banshee's howl.

"No, what about Stan?"

Via immediately broke the unsettling silence and looked in the direction of the base, unable to help but worry.

Stan was only half a room ahead of them, so how could he have disappeared since he returned to base?

Zhang Zicheng walked towards the base, passing outposts and walls along the way, carefully checking how well they were in good condition.

It is clear that there are no brutal battles here, no blood, no smoke, no bullet marks.

It's as if everyone has gone back to the dormitory to take a nap, and the surrounding scene is telling the word 'calm'.

At this moment, Zhang Zicheng suddenly raised his head, and saw a shadow flash from the third-floor window of the base building, disappearing in an instant.

Zhang Zicheng frowned slightly: "Is it the same setting as this horror movie again?" ”

Wei Ya followed closely behind Zhang Zicheng, and when he heard what he said, he also looked up at the window of the base, and said nervously: "What? What did you find? ”

At the same time, Konghuan and Beatrice also came to Zhang Zicheng's side. But the two of them, one from a society without any supernatural literature, and the other from the wild and cold Iceland, the most terrifying thing that the elders can tell is the beasts of the forest, and Beatrice can kill a bear alone when she is a child.

Both of them lack the influence of horror genre literary and artistic works, so they have no sense of the silence and weirdness of the base, and even dare to wander around at will, looking east and west.

Beatrice asked Zhang Zicheng strangely: "Teacher, is this the building of another world?" It does look different from Iceland and the Ogamar architecture. It's boxy, and it can shelter from the wind and rain at a glance. ”

Konghuan reacted at this time and asked Zhang Zicheng: "Who is this little sister?" Where did you come from? Why did you let her enter the crack space? ”

Zhang Zicheng didn't look back, but still replied normally: "It's my new apprentice, but I haven't taught her too many things for the time being, so it may not be of much use, you can just treat her as a mascot like Ling for the time being." ”

Konghuan sighed, nodded, and then frowned: "Who do you say is the mascot?" I'll help you move the pocket space, it's super big, okay? ”

Zhang Zicheng saw that the empty ring seemed to be very interested in chatting, and suddenly turned around and asked her: "Speaking of which, your pocket space can only allow organic matter to enter, and if you want to pass through inorganic matter, you must use my spiritual energy to protect it." But I think these people can easily move in large equipment, even containers and trucks, isn't your level of technology good? ”

In fact, Konghuan had already noticed this, but she didn't expect Zhang Zicheng to use this to mock her civilized technology, and suddenly said angrily: "I don't believe that they have researched how to enter the crack space by themselves!" It must be good luck! Touched a naturally formed stable channel! Otherwise, given the technological content of these weapons and vehicles, would they be portals built with twigs and wood poured with oil? ”

Zhang Zicheng actually thinks so, and the name of that thing has already been heard, probably the so-called 'hinge book'.

But what Zhang Zicheng actually wanted to ask was another thing.

He turned his head and asked directly: "Then when you have nothing, how did you survive that year?" Looking at the way you eat Hesse every day, it doesn't look like you can survive without food. ”

Konghuan was silent for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly: "Can you stop asking...... I, I don't really want to recall. If you have to know, all I can say is ...... I've eaten a lot of weird things, and for the most part, they're disgusting. ”

"Is it something like the horror in these mouths?"

"Probably? …… I didn't give my creatures a name, after all, most of them just wanted to eat me. ”

Zhang Zicheng and Konghuan chatted as they walked towards the building of the base.

Without personnel guarding the base, any of the base's defenses were useless, and the march of the four of them was no different from wandering around the university campus.

Zhang Zicheng actually released his divine thoughts early in the morning, and he also noticed some abnormalities in the base. But those strange places were not isolated individuals or monsters, and he didn't feel the existence of creatures like clowns.

Including the black shadow on the third floor before, Zhang Zicheng's divine thoughts swept over, and he also found no living creatures.

Living creatures here refer to 'moving' objects, not to living creatures in particular.

But the most important thing is that Stan is actually ahead of everyone.

The disappearance of the other party, and the others did not see it, naturally seemed extremely mysterious. Even though Zhang Zicheng had been paying attention to him with his divine thoughts, when Stan entered the room that had been expanded and turned into a large base, it was as if he had fallen into invisible water, and he lost any breath in an instant.

Zhang Zicheng thought about the problem of this base while chatting with the empty ring: "So, in the end, you ate them?" ”

Konghuan's face had been completely pulled down, and after taking on a helpless look, he suddenly turned into a bitter gourd face, and he could only shout in a low voice: "I didn't say everything, don't ask?" ”

But she still lowered her head and nodded: "Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have survived." Some rooms have infinite clean running water, but only the creatures can provide me with heat. ”

Zhang Zicheng suddenly stretched out his hand and touched the head of the empty ring.

The empty ring was stunned for a moment, and raised his head for some reason.

Zhang Zicheng sighed: "I haven't been embarrassed to ask, because I thought that you were not the only one who entered the crack space." It's just that you don't want to mention your companion because you have eaten it. As a result, I just ate some creatures that may be disgusting in appearance and may also be human-like, in fact, you don't need to take it too seriously, and some of us earthlings will feed on monkeys. ”

Konghuan was so angry that he wanted to stomp his feet: "I didn't eat people!" Don't talk nonsense! ”

They spoke in the language of Konghuan's hometown, which Via couldn't understand, but she silently jotted down some of the pronunciations, hoping to find an opportunity to compare them with the existing languages on Earth to see if they could be found in the minor languages, so as to confirm their specific origins.

And after chatting with the empty hangout, Zhang Zicheng also found that the gap space was not as empty as he imagined before.

Even individuals from different universes appear in dense numbers. At least it's enough for the little girl who doesn't eat much, and she barely survives after three days of starvation.

And, obviously, not all crevices are powerful. It should be said on the other hand, that the vast majority of the so-called crevices are just ordinary creatures in other universes, and the weak ones are the majority.

At least the girl who has been genetically strengthened by the empty ring has not encountered a creature that can really kill her for a whole year, plus the empty ring is very cautious and timid, and she can escape if she encounters a strong enemy, regardless of her extreme luck, it can only be said that the strength of the empty ring can occupy the level of the upper reaches of the gap space.

This further confirms Zhang Zicheng's previous guess, that is, the gap space is likely to be a limited area of about 3.14 dimensions, and only creatures within this range can randomly enter it due to various accidents.

Now the few of them were inside the base building, which was fully equipped with signs in German. The first floor is a comprehensive area, and even a small part of it is a comprehensive cafeteria, and the food inside is still lukewarm.

Seeing that the food was a little difficult to walk again, Konghuan didn't ask Zhang Zicheng for instructions, and directly pushed open the sign that idlers were not allowed to enter the canteen, entered the cooking window, turned into a dry rice person, and began to feast.

There is quite a variety of food here, bread, mashed potatoes, pork sausages, meatballs, chicken nuggets, pasta, and a variety of sauces.

Beatrice was also a little greedy when she saw the empty ring's actions, and leaned over the window to swallow her saliva.

The Icelandic diet is a coarse, either grilled meat or cured and bacon for storage, and there are very few such refined foods, and Beatrice can't help but start to salivate just by smelling the spices inside.

Seeing this, the empty ring directly turned into a cafeteria aunt, took a rice plate and spoon, filled a large spoonful of mashed potatoes for Beatrice, poured meat juice, and then piled all kinds of meat on it and handed it to Beatrice outside.

"Thank you!" Beatrice shouted thank you in Icelandic, and stood directly at the window and began to eat, her eyes getting brighter and brighter.

She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Zhang Zicheng and said in surprise: "Teacher! The food here is delicious! The spices inside are certainly precious! Come and have a bite to eat! ”

Zhang Zicheng waved his hand, not because he was afraid that there was something wrong with these foods, but because he was a doppelganger, as long as he didn't have a appetite, there was basically no need to eat, but it would take more energy to digest the food.

In terms of appetite, Zhang Zicheng now wants to eat Kung Pao Chicken Rice Bowl and is not very interested in these fast food-style white meals.

At this moment, Zhang Zicheng once again noticed the dark shadow in the corner.

Since the last time the black shadow flashed, Zhang Zicheng seemed to be wandering, but in fact, he was highly observant of the surrounding environment, and this time the black shadow was captured by Zhang Zicheng to the specific appearance.

Well, it's still a dark shadow.

It's really just a shadow, the moment Zhang Zicheng found it, it melted into the shadow of the trash can next to it and disappeared in an instant.

No wonder he didn't even scan the existence of the other party before, it turned out to be a shadow acting as a demon.

Zhang Zicheng walked towards the trash can, Wei Ya didn't know what was happening, facing the familiar quiet environment, the fear in his heart did not diminish in the slightest, and he only dared to follow closely behind Zhang Zicheng.

And Zhang Zicheng stopped after walking two meters away from the garbage can, and then stretched out his hand, the fingertips of the five fingers were facing upward, except for the index finger, the fingertips of the other four fingers were bent inward, and he gently made a handprint.

Immediately, a warm halo of light lit up behind Zhang Zicheng's head, instantly illuminating the entire canteen even brighter.

And the shadow of the garbage can, in the light of this light, was completely isolated on the wall.

But even so, nothing happened, only Wei Ya looked at the aperture behind Zhang Zicheng's head in surprise, and said in surprise: "Sir, you...... Why did you suddenly start glowing? ”

Zhang Zicheng remembered that he hadn't told these people his name yet, so he said casually: "Just call me Si Chen." ”

As he spoke, he didn't explain the reason why he was shining, but stretched out the Rijun in his hand, facing downward, and the aperture behind his head was fixed in place, and he no longer followed Zhang Zicheng when he walked.

Miraculously, this bright halo of warm colors hits other objects, creating strong shadows. Only shining on Zhang Zicheng's body, as if the light would bend, the whole Zhang Zicheng circled, making him bright, as if turning off the game of shadow obscure, the shadows of the whole body, including the folds of clothes, all disappeared, and there was only diffuse light under his feet, but no shadow.

This scene also attracted the attention of the two rice cookers in the cafeteria, and Konghuan cautiously shrank his head behind the rice bowl and continued to sip on the spaghetti covered with meat sauce. However, the iron-headed Beatrice was no longer greedy for food, and only pulled a few more mouthfuls of meatballs in her mouth, and then puffed out her cheeks and ran to Zhang Zicheng's side with a serious face.

"Lao Xi, what happened to Hong?"

Zhang Zicheng glanced at his cheap apprentice speechlessly, and said with disgust: "You swallow the things in your mouth first." ”

As he spoke, he looked down at his shadowless hands, and even pulled the neckline, and the inside of his clothes was bright, and then he approached the trash can and asked, "I don't want to play anything 'I've found you, come out quickly', and then you think I'm playing a game that hasn't moved for a long time." I hope you understand that I speak English, because if you don't show up for ten seconds, I'll use Solar Duel on you to see if you can survive without shadows. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Zicheng directly started the timer: "1......"

As soon as he finished saying 1, he immediately pinched the day again, but this time he used it with both hands and aimed his index finger at the trash can.

Suddenly, together with the halo that Zhang Zicheng pinched out before, the entire canteen seemed to rise two rounds of sun.

Although the entire canteen was originally brightly lit and full of incandescent lamps, the first halo that Zhang Zicheng pinched out was not too dazzling. But the two halos seemed to be able to stack each other, and for a moment it was like throwing flashbangs in the cafeteria.

"Ahhh!!h

The shadow of the trash can disappeared in an instant, and even the inside of the bucket glowed as if there were important items hidden in the game treasure chest. However, such a sight, which made some of the beings hidden in it, immediately scream piercingly.

"Didn't you say under ten seconds? You lied to me!! ”

Zhang Zicheng shrugged: "Isn't one second less than ten seconds?" You're not very good at math. ”
