Black Bug Star.

Headquarters Residence.

In Li Xiu's underground base, several scientific researchers are sitting in front of the 4D projection screen, bored and playing casual games.

There are virtual reality online games to play on Black Worm Star.

——In order to enrich the entertainment life of the monks and scientific research workers on the Black Worm Star, the scientific researchers at the headquarters have realized virtual reality technology thousands of years ago.

This technology is the product of the combination of virtual reality in the scientific and technological civilization and illusion in the Xiuzhen civilization.

Gamers who enter the virtual reality space can enjoy everything they can imagine in the virtual space.

It's food, the scenery, the music, the socialising, and the shooting.

The reason why the scientific researchers in Li Xiu's base only play casual games is not because they are not interested in virtual reality online games, but because Li Xiu, as the boss, has a rule:

The scientific researchers in the base are to be divided into two shifts, and they will be in front of the astronomical camera day and night, monitoring the messages that may be transmitted back from the planet N61-001 at any time, so that they can get in touch with the missing survival five.

Entrance to the underground base.

Li Xiu controlled the dummy body, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, and walked in briskly from the entrance of the base.

He leaned in front of the 4D projection screen, glanced at the data on the projection screen, and said casually: "How is it?" What's unusual lately? ”

！！

Seeing that the boss suddenly came to inspect the base, all the scientific researchers were shocked, and then hurriedly turned off the casual games in their personal terminals.

After recovering from his senses, one of the team leaders replied, "It's still the same as usual. With the exception of the detection of the Monk's Consciousness on planet N61-001 a year ago, we have found almost no clues. ”

"Don't take that lightly."

Because it is an artificial body, Li Xiu does not need to worry about gaining weight when drinking coffee, so he adds a lot of sugar and cream to the coffee.

So much so that the cup of coffee has become sticky.

Li Xiu scooped out a lump of coffee and sugar oil mixture with a spoon and put it in his mouth, chewed it and said: "Survive their team, its captain Chengsheng not only has a merger period cultivation, but also seems to be a merger period monk who fused an entire planet and broke through through the 'merge star' route. ”

"The monks who follow this path often have a lot of potential"

Li Xiu said, his eyes suddenly showed a look of reminiscence, as if he remembered an old friend from the past.

He emphasized: "In short, this person is worth cultivating, so no matter how much time it takes, no matter how much it costs, you must keep looking for me." ”

"If it really doesn't work, I'll spend a lot of money to hire a team led by a Merge Stage Monk and go directly to Planet 001 to find someone."

…

"Whew"

in the underground base.

Just as Li Xiu was chatting with the scientific researchers, a wound suddenly appeared on his right arm inexplicably.

Li Xiu's simulated human body, his pain perception was obviously only about one-tenth of that of a normal person, but the moment this wound appeared, he couldn't help but snort in pain.

"What's wrong with you, boss?" Seeing Li Xiu's strange appearance, the group leader hurriedly asked out loud.

"I'm fine." Li Xiu waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, and at the same time looked at the wound with a thoughtful expression: "This knife wound does not seem to only affect my arm, but also has caused damage to me at the soul level!" ”

"What do you mean?" The group leader was stunned when he heard this.

Li Xiu explained: "I can feel that this wound on my hand is irreparable, and even if I change to another body, it will not change in any way, and this wound will follow me forever until I die." ”

As a scientific researcher, the team leader understood what Li Xiu meant as soon as he heard it, and exclaimed, "Is it the power of the law?" Someone wants to kill you with the power of the law? ”

"Probably not." Li Xiu shook his head and said, "If that person really wants to kill me, it can't be as simple as just injuring my arm." ”

"So I speculate that the person who hurt me didn't want to kill me, but wanted to use this wound to send me some message."

"What's the message?" The group leader asked.

Li Xiu didn't speak, just looked at the 4D projection screen, all kinds of data about planet N61-001, and did something thoughtful.

…

At the same time.

On planet N61-001, in a department store.

Chengsheng held a firewood knife in his hand, and after cutting a wound on his hand with difficulty, the whole person finally couldn't hold on anymore and was so tired that he collapsed to the ground on the spot.

Whether it's a thunderous firewood knife, a living incense burner, a Buddha's red hijab, or a bracelet of the Mother of Suffering.

All treasures with the power of the law must be cultivated to a monk who is at least above the stage of transformation before they can be used.

And it will be very draining during use.

Take Thunder's Wood Knife as an example: the Avatar Stage Monk used this knife and could only barely make a slashing motion.

And if you want to make a wound on your right arm with great detail like Chengsheng, you have to have a merger period of cultivation.

Chenghuo originally wanted to write on his arm to convey a message to Li Xiu.

But cutting a wound on his arm is already his limit.

If you want to get to the point of writing with a firewood knife in your hand, I am afraid that only a monk who has mastered the power of the law can do it.

Pressed for time.

After surviving cut a wound on his arm, he hurriedly injected a dose of 'Dark Spore Extract' into his body to ensure that he would not be affected by the dark purple mist.

At present, there are 29 injections left to survive.

After doing all this, he rummaged through the shelves of department stores.

To survive, this is doing two things:

If Li Xiu could understand the meaning of that wound and open the portal with the power of law to answer him, then he would naturally be able to escape and ascend to heaven.

And if Li Xiu doesn't understand the meaning of Chengsheng, then Chengsheng will give the other party another knife after a while.

If the portal still does not appear after two swords, it means that although Li Xiu understands the meaning of survival, due to the fact that Chengsheng and the others have been on planet 001 for too long, or other factors, the portal can no longer appear on planet 001.

If this is the case, then the second option will be adopted - self-help.

This is also the reason why Chenghuo is busy rummaging in department stores and supermarkets. He's looking for items that have the power of law and have the ability to teleport.

Time passes.

Cheng Huo pinched the time, and after about 10 hours or so, he used a firewood knife to come up on the back of Li Xiu's hand.

Affected by the side effects of the firewood knife, Chengsheng himself was injured as a result.

The injuries caused by the power of the law not only acted on the physical body, but also affected the living soul, making him feel a piercing pain.

Thinking about it, Li Xiu must be equally uncomfortable at the moment.

But I don't know what happened to Li Xiu's side. Even with this level of piercing pain, he still didn't summon the portal.

Meanwhile.

After searching for more than 10 hours in the department store and supermarket, I found nothing.

By this point, he had wasted an entire day on Planet 001.

Half a day and half a day, a total of two 'Dark Spore Extracts' have been used up so far, and there are still 28 left.

Since there is a situation on Li Xiu's side, Chengsheng plans to save himself.

In department stores.

After tearing off the storage bags of the Buddha, the Emperor Night, the Mother of Pain, and the Thunder Four, he walked out of the supermarket with a purple-black mist that was so thick that the visibility was nearly half a meter away.

…

Early the next morning.

On the outskirts of Damai City, outside an abandoned gas station.

After making sure that there were no smiling people around, Maggie Dickens cautiously walked out of the hideout.

He hung a ball of light that glowed dark purple on his head, and under the protection of the ball of light, he cautiously infiltrated the gas station.

The gas station has apparently been visited by survivors, with its shelves in a mess and food and drinking water nearly completely looted.

Only useless goods such as rolling paper, disinfectant, car decorations, and home appliances were left.

As well as garbage.

Dickens rummaged through the garbage heap for a long time, and finally found a pack of cigarettes, a small bag of gummy bears, a piece of coffee-flavored chewing gum that someone had left on the ground, and a can of peanut butter that had expired but should still be edible.

With peanut butter, this wave is not a loss

After Dickens packed the looted supplies with a plastic bag, he was just about to leave the gas station when he saw a strange man wearing a yin and yang Taiji fish robe, blocking his way.

Dickens glanced at the strange man's forehead and saw that the other man's head did not have a 'purple mist light ball' on his head.

Also, there is no 'smiley mask' on the other person's face. ’

Dickens was shocked to be able to walk freely in the purple mist without wearing a 'purple mist bulb' or a 'smiley face mask'.

He remained vigilant and rushed to live: "Who are you?" ”

Cheng Huo stared at the dark purple light ball on Dickens's head with interest, and said: "The first time you saw me, you didn't observe what I looked like, nor did you observe whether I had a weapon around my waist, but first looked at my forehead, and then at my face. ”

Cheng Sheng speculated: "So, I guess the dark purple light ball on your forehead should be a very important item, not only do you usually wear it, but other people around you should also bring this kind of light ball when they go out. Am I right? ”

As soon as he heard this, Dickens felt even more strange that he had lived.

He frowned and said, "You don't even know about the 'Purple Mist Light Ball'?" And you didn't wear a purple mist light ball or a smiley mask, and you haven't been affected by the purple mist, how did you do it? Could it be that you have other ways to resist the erosion of the purple mist? ”

The purple mist ball in Dickens's mouth naturally refers to the small light ball that emits dark purple light hanging on his head.

As for the smiley mask

Cheng Sheng did not respond positively to Dickens, he asked rhetorically, "What is a smiley mask?" I'm from a far away place, and I don't know much about your rules here, and I've never heard of the purple mist lamp ball you wear, and the smiley mask. ”

Are you from another city?

Dickens looked at Cheng Cheng and said cautiously, "So, how did you come to our Barley City through the 'Fog Zone'?" ”

"Fog Zone?" Cheng Sheng asked: "What is the 'dense fog area', can you explain it?" ”

During the conversation, Cheng Huo noticed the plastic bag that Dickens was carrying, which contained the food and daily necessities he had just looted.

Chengsheng realized something, and hurriedly took out a small box of ground coffee from the storage bag and threw it to the other party: "Take it, I'll give it to you." ”

These ground coffees are all in the Buddha's storage bag.

When the Buddha is old, he likes to tinker with these things that he doesn't have, and now he just borrows flowers to offer Buddha and gives them to each other as a gift.

Gas station in the supermarket.

Perhaps it was that small box of ground coffee that made Dickens much less wary of survival.

But he remained vigilant.

He explained: "The so-called 'dense fog area' refers to the area where the dark purple fog is relatively thick"

Since the outbreak of the catastrophe and the purple mist has spread to the entire planet, the survivors of various cities have been completely isolated by the purple mist.

At first, the purple mist was only able to affect the minds of a very small number of people, while most people were able to stay awake in the purple mist.

So the whole world hasn't been affected much.

But as time passed, the purple mist became more and more intense, and the number of people who lost their minds due to the purple mist gradually became more and more.

The order of human society began to collapse.

In order to survive, the surviving people began to analyze the characteristics of the purple fog and mass-produced the 'purple fog light ball' to combat the erosion of the purple fog.

This makes the survivors barely able to survive on this polluted planet.

I don't know how many years have passed like this

As time went on, the purple fog in some areas became more and more intense, even to the point where the survivors wore the 'purple mist light ball' and could not set foot in it.

This kind of purple fog is extremely thick, and the survivors call it the 'Dense Fog Zone', or it can be called the 'Deep Sea'.

The area where the purple fog is thinner is called the 'safe zone', which can also be called the 'island'.

"I guess I understood."

After listening to Dickens's popular science, Cheng Huo followed the other party's words and said: "The reason why the dense fog area is called the deep sea is because it separates the various 'safe zones' into isolated islands, and the survivors on different isolated islands cannot get in touch with each other, because no one can pass through the dense fog area alive. ”

"Well, that's pretty much what it means."

Dickens thought for a moment and added, "However, the survivors in different safe zones are not necessarily inaccessible. ”

"Whenever the full moon comes, some communication equipment that is older and does not rely on base stations can still be used."

"It's like the radio."

"That's why we occasionally use the radio to communicate with survivors in other safe zones."

"The use of radio stations during the full moon is a tacit agreement between all of our survivors."

Chengsheng was not interested in radio, but was curious about how the 'purple mist light ball' on Dickens's head came from.

The ball of light can resist the erosion of the purple mist on the planet to a certain extent.

If he could get one alive, he would be able to stay on this planet for a longer time until he could find a way to escape.
