Chapter 39: The Unspeakable Land - Xinku District (Seeking Collection, Seeking Reading)
Three heavy armored hovertrucks shuttle through the towering buildings at great speed.
Rely on abandoned buildings to block the onslaught of your pursuers.
Rumble!!
Rumble!!
Rumble!!
An Aerospace Gunboat with control privileges hacked and aimed its main guns at other allies.
After several shots in a row, the two gunboats exploded in the air.
Fragments flew with flames across the night sky.
"Yay!! That's great. Buttermoss, you're awesome. ”
David looked at the exploding gunboat and shouted excitedly.
But in the next second, more vehicles appeared behind him.
The hacked gunboat, forced to restart by the crew operator, rolled back to a pure operating system that had not been invaded by the virus.
"We picked up speed and rushed straight into the Sinku district."
Qin Zheng glanced at the enemy who was chasing after him.
If they are caught up by the other party, their fate is self-evident.
If you want to survive, you can only enter the Xinku District according to the original plan.
The area of corruption caused by the failure of the Ching's experiments.
It's even more terrifying than the lower districts.
It is also one of the scariest and scariest places in Liberty City.
Both the chaebols and the military are helpless about the region.
Neutron missiles, black hole bombs, left over from the glory days of mankind, bombed it to no avail.
The Corruption Zone is no longer mathematical, physical and chemical, nor is it a space that can be explained by the rules of reality.
Any real-world attack will be transferred to the subspace, and will be wiped out by the vast Aether Ocean.
It was their best place of refuge.
The protective wall that enclosed the Sinku area was hacked into by Buttermoss, the gate opened automatically, and all weapon systems were paralyzed, even the shields were closed by Buttermos.
Technicians and intelligent systems quickly identified the problem and it took less than a minute for the virus code to be cleared.
This amount of time was enough for Qin Zheng and the others to pass through the protective wall and truly enter the Xinku District.
Three heavily armored hovertrucks passed through the protective wall and entered the Xinku district.
"These crazy people!! How dare they get in there?? ”
Several Liberty City military bigwigs saw Qin Zheng and the others enter the Xinku District, which was divided into forbidden lands.
It can only allow the pursuing army to stay on the edge and dare not go deep into it.
The pursuit lasted more than an hour and spanned hundreds of kilometers.
Not only did they fail to capture each other, but they also lost a lot of troops.
When this matter is publicized, I am afraid that they will become a laughing stock.
"They're dead." A senior military official said, "That hellish place in Sinku will definitely devour them." ”
"Even if they were torn apart by those monsters, there would be no way to save us from laughing. Everybody knows we didn't catch them. Another military bigwig said angrily: "These damn bastards. ”
"Stop arguing about these pointless questions, send people to guard the exits and block them inside. If they dare to enter the Sinku district, it is impossible for them to come out alive, but they must also be just in case. ”
A gray-haired veteran general stopped the quarrel and gave the order for a blockade.
When everyone had left, the old general looked at the barren and uninhabited Sinku district.
Patches of unmaintained buildings stand tall over the ground, making them look particularly desolate and dilapidated.
But he knew that wasn't what Sinku really looked like.
This barren and dilapidated appearance is just an illusion refracted in reality.
Only by crossing the tipping point can we see what that terrible hell is really like.
Even if it was only on the edge, the general heard some strange voices.
They come from people who have long since been confirmed dead.
The voices called out to him, hoping he would walk in.
The old general shook his head, suppressing the disturbance of those strange voices on him.
"These bastards have opened Pandora's box, chaos is coming." The old general muttered to himself.
Those people fled to the Sinku district to find their own death.
But the storm caused by this incident will not subside.
A war between the different factions may be about to begin.
.................
The area of Sinku District is very large.
Pre-cataclysmic data shows that the area appears to be irregular and square.
The two points of the longest border reached one hundred and twenty-one kilometers.
The shortest distance between the two points of the border is also more than 90 kilometers.
In the industrial age, the Sinku district was already an unimaginable megacity.
But in the glory days of mankind, it was just a subdivision of a city.
After Qin Zheng and the others fled into this area.
All the pursuers stopped at the edge, not daring to pursue them any further.
"They really didn't dare come in."
David looked at the pursuers at the border with a smile on his face.
Many giant enterprises, together with the Free City military, did not dare to step beyond the protective wall and enter the Xinku District.
They only dare to watch from the outside.
Because once you get in, the devil knows how many people will die!!
Each of the Corruption Zones is synonymous with horror and horror.
Those who delusionally want to solve the problem by filling in cannon fodder soldiers are definitely out-and-out fools.
"Don't rejoice too soon. This is the Sinku district, and if we're not careful, we'll die here. “
Bart Moss poured cold water on David.
"From now on, none of us can afford to stay away from the boss."
"Batmoss, bring up the experimental data of the Qing Group in the Xinku District." Qin Zheng said: "We have to bypass the original test area, where the corruption is the most serious and the danger is the greatest. ”
"Look at the sky." The voice of the Black Hand Morgan came from the communicator.
David pointed the observation device outside the car at the sky.
The sight that caught his eye made him gasp.
Those crazy, indescribable scenes are chilling.
Obviously everything is normal from the outside, but at best it is a little desolate and dilapidated.
But when I was in the Sinku district, I saw something completely different.
The sky becomes a transparent window into the subspace.
The power of the vast ocean rolls.
Giant spherical eyes as huge as mountains, giant octopuses like planets, and twisted monsters born from the hybridization of bicycles are suspended in the sky.
Corpses without facial features fly in the sky.
An eerie thunderbolt lit up high in the sky.
The sound of a ghost crying sounded from the place where it was crossed.
Among the people, except for Bai Qi and Qin Zheng, they were all attracted by the strange sky.
They stared intently at the absurd, grotesque sky.
"Don't look." Qin Zheng's voice exploded like thunder, causing the lost people to retract their gaze one after another. "Don't look at the sky, and even if you do, you can only look at the processed images. Set up automatic image protection, hand over the authority to fire to the control system. ”
"Is it so dangerous??" David, who came back to his senses, looked a little ugly, "Just looking at it, there is a danger of being corrupted." ”
"In a place like this, curiosity really kills." Bai Qi opened his mouth and said: "Don't pay attention to irrelevant things, don't be curious about anything, it's a very wise move to save your life. ”
Bai Qi grew up in the Drew district.
It is also full of all kinds of ominous and weird, and the slightest mistake can lead to death.
Growing up in such a place, Bai Qi learned how to avoid those dangers at a very young age.
The word nosy really works.
Qin Zheng didn't pay attention to the people who were pale and had a frightened look on their faces.
Since entering the Sinku district, his ability to foresee has been turned on.
Countless visions of the future came to his mind.
Qin Zheng skillfully extracted the information he wanted from it.
This information made him aware of the hidden dangers and materials in each building.
The Sinku district is definitely a paradise for waste pickers.
At first, the companies and the military in the Sinku district evacuated in a hurry.
They left behind a large amount of weaponry and supplies.
Qin Zheng used his foreknowledge to avoid risks and map out a relatively safe path away from those unspeakable horrors.
It is said that when humans first used subspace to travel faster than light, they also needed navigators to avoid dangers along the way and the currents of the Soul Sea, so as to avoid being sent to other places.
"We have an abandoned military base on our route, and this base may have what we need. We went to the base, refueled, took a break, and continued on our way. ”
They had to pass through the Xinku district and go to the mid-level district, Haiqing District, which was only 200 kilometers away from the outermost part of the metropolitan area.
Sixteen days later, the Ross family's hovertrain will pass through Haiqing District.
The things on that train were also the purpose of their trip.
.............
The Ching Group had established a number of bases in the Xinku District and invested a lot of resources to promote the Artificial Psyker Project.
After a failed experiment, it led to a large number of strange invasions of the present world.
In a very short period of time, the Sinku district fell and became an even worse place than the lower districts.
Ninety-nine percent of the population was abandoned to die, and only a small number of elites were able to escape.
Countless monsters wander through those flesh-covered buildings.
There is still a glimmer of life in the lower area.
In a completely corrupted area like the Sinku District, it is a very lucky thing to be able to die a happy death.
Under Qin Zheng's guidance, they soon came to the vicinity of that base.
The base is enclosed by a tall wall.
A variety of heavy artillery and fully automatic machine guns are installed on the walls.
Behind the wall is a huge open space with towering towers.
Towers are turrets and shield generators, which are networked to cover the base and provide fire support in either direction.
In the center of the base is a large spherical structure.
Clearly the heart of the base.
"It's the logo of the Ching Group, it's their base." Brian scanned the base's information, which showed that it belonged to the Qing Group.
The heavy armor hovercar came to a halt on a rusty tarmac.
The tarmac was large, and in the distance there were warplanes that had not taken off.
Several gunboats and hoverboats.
Not far from the tarmac is the spherical building.
Buttermoss walked over and found that the light of the identity detector at the entrance was still on.
"The energy supply system is still running, and there should be an independent energy device, so that the base has always maintained low power."
"Turn it on, let's go inside."
Qin Zheng said to Batmoss.
"Understood."
Buttermoss connects a data cable into the inspection device.
Moments later, a hissing sound could be heard behind the base gates.
That's hydraulics working.
With a hissing sound, the entrance to the base was opened.
Bartmoss turned on all the lights in the base by the way.
It's a small survival base.
It is a supply station built by Qingshi Group for the exploration team.
It's not huge.
The four sides are made of shiny metal plates.
The walls are carved with all kinds of obscure words that you can't read.
Those words are incantations with special powers, which translate to block and expel them.
Apparently it's used to stop those monsters.
As for the effect, it is difficult to say.
If the effect is good, the Qing Group will not be so embarrassed.
A large amount of daily necessities and ammunition are stored inside.
Qin Zheng walked at the end and entered the front of the spherical building.
He looked in one direction.
His special psionic vision allowed him to see behind the walls and the dilapidated buildings.
A group of people walked like marionettes on the desolate, flesh-filled streets of tentacles and wriggling shadows.
Those men had smiles on their faces.
The clothes on the body are neat and clean.
It doesn't look like a living person.
Qin Zheng estimated the distance between the crowd and the base.
He withdrew his gaze.
Turned and entered the spherical building.
