long night fire

"Other clues also show that this is indeed Taicheng..." Gnawa began to report the harvest.

After he finished speaking, Shang Jianyao rubbed his chin and said:

"We also found that many materials have been preserved here, and the gold ornaments on many bones are also clearly visible."

His expression gradually became serious:

"Such a ruined city that is relatively easy to find and is not enclosed by the Salvation Army, even if it is located on an ice field, there should not be no relic hunters coming.

"Whether you start from the northern border of the 'Salvation Army' or come from the territory of the 'White Knights', it will take less than a month to arrive here, and you don't need to face the cold late autumn and mid-winter."

Chapter 179 True and False

"You mean, the ruins of this city are weird?" Facing the calm and rational Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong was able to decipher what he wanted to express relatively easily.

Shang Jian Yao smiled and said:

"I just briefly analyzed the contradiction between the current situation of this urban ruin and its geographical location."

"Yeah." Jiang Baimian nodded lightly, "Almost 70 years have passed since the destruction of the old world, and unexcavated ruins like this must have their own special features: the ruins of Swamp No. 1 are located inside the Great Swamp, and it is very difficult to find them. , the No. 13 ruins of the wasteland were guarded by the troops sent by the 'First City', and no one was allowed to enter.

"The opposite of them is the ruins of Scarlet Wilderness No. 9. Although there are many dangers inside, and many places have been restricted to humans until now, but because they are easier to find and have not been circled by any major forces, there are still a lot of them. The relic hunters followed suit one after another, which led to the 'development' of some urban areas there."

What she meant was that Taicheng is located in a place where the ice sheet extends in all directions. The "Old Tune Team" traveled all the way and arrived at the destination without even deviating from the roads left over from the old world, and the "Salvation Army" did not send The army came here to take care of it. The current situation is indeed worth pondering, and there must be something weird.

If Taicheng is located in an area deep in the ice sheet with semi-permanent frozen soil, and the relic hunters can't use the short summer to get there through numerous obstacles, resulting in better preservation of the city ruins, then it is understandable. Whichever way you look at it, it's against common sense.

Bai Chen thought about it and said:

"It may be that the ice sheet has a short season suitable for human activities. After so many years, the relic hunters have not even excavated much of the city ruins further south, and lack sufficient motivation to continue north."

"This is a reason." Gnawa said after modeling and analysis, "but the probability is very low, because the further north you go, the fewer 'unintentional people' remaining in the ruins of the city, and the lower the degree of danger. Based on a comprehensive calculation, Spend a little time exploring north, the rewards are higher, and the risks are easier to grasp."

Winter is hard, not only for human beings, but also for the "heartless" group.

The further north the ice sheet goes, the worse it becomes.

Jiang Baimian nodded, looked at Shang Jianyao and said:

"Do you have any idea?"

In terms of broad thinking, she has always believed that there is a big gap between herself and Shang Jianyao.

She is still in the category of normal human beings.

Shang Jian Yao laughed:

"The ruins of such a large city are placed here, and the surrounding environment is not bad. There are many relic hunters hunting and exploring in the north. Why do they turn a blind eye?"

"Turn a blind eye..." Jiang Baimian's heart twitched, and a thought suddenly occurred to him.

Shang Jian Yao then showed a gratified expression:

"You sure did remember.

"Nanwu Ayutuoluo Sanliu Sanbodhi, benefactor, do you still remember the abnormality in Room 2, Building 4, Section 302, Family of the Ruined Steel Plant?"

Hearing this sentence, not only Jiang Baimian, but also Long Yuehong and Bai Chen reacted instantly.

As for Gnava, because he had never experienced it himself, it took him a while to call up the relevant information:

At that time, what Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian saw in Room 302 were ordinary ruins, and nothing of value was found. However, Long Yuehong, who was peeping out of the window, saw two corpses lying on the bed. There is a bright red quilt embroidered with the pattern of dragon and phoenix showing prosperity.

In the end, under the reminder of Long Yuehong, Shang Jianyao touched the little Jade Buddha at the intersection of reality and falsehood, and lifted it out.

This caused the false scene he and Jiang Baimian saw before to be broken, and the real situation inside Room 302 was revealed.

This matter is connected with the phenomenon of Taicheng full of contradictions, and people naturally have corresponding guesses.

Long Yuehong, who spoke more enthusiastically than before, thought about it and said:

"We entered the real platform city, but what the relic hunters saw was a fake platform city. There are no valuable items there, or it is in a state that is difficult to excavate, lacking the meaning of exploration?"

"We were able to enter Zhentai City because we brought special items from the holy land of Buddhism?" Bai Chen then speculated.

While Jiang Baimian nodded slightly, Shang Jianyao took off the tactical backpack with a smile:

"I think so too."

Snapped!

He rummaged through and found the "Six Knowledge Bead", and threw it casually by the side of the road.

Immediately afterwards, he also lifted up the little lake-green Jade Buddha and threw it on the ground. Jiang Baimian also threw out the "chaotic right hand".

The surrounding scene has not changed in any way.

"This is a bit embarrassing..." The honest Shang Jianyao mocked himself.

Jiang Baimian looked around and said thoughtfully:

"Maybe it's because we have already entered the real stage city, even if we throw away the corresponding items, there will be no 'illusion' anymore."

On the word "hallucinating", she was not so sure, because it is still unclear what the situation is.

"Then what should we do?" Long Yuehong frowned slightly.

The reckless Shang Jianyao replied immediately:

"Go on, go to No. [-] Senior High School!"

There is the body of the Buddhist holy land.

Jiang Baimian glared at him:

"Exit and re-enter, confirm the situation before we talk.

"be careful and live long!"

"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao didn't have Jiang Baimian contradicting his self-consciousness at all.

To this, Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and Gnawa had no objection.

After picking up the items on the ground, several members of the "Old Tune Group" got back into the car and returned along the original road until they came to the fault zone.

Here, they could no longer see Taicheng.

"Old Ge, you stay here with the 'Six Knowledge Pearl' and the Little Jade Buddha, and wait for news." Jiang Baimian's choice has no doubts.

Gnawa was the only one among the team members present who was not affected by props such as the "Six Knowledge Bead".

This time, Shang Jianyao not only left behind the "Six Consciousness Beads" and the Little Jade Buddha, but also gave Gnawa the "Life Angel" necklace and the blessing map of the heavens for the sake of safety.

"You must take good care of them!" He urged sincerely.

The corner of Jiang Baimian's mouth moved slightly, and while handing the "chaotic right hand" to Gnava, he set up the auxiliary chip in the biological prosthesis to let it monitor its own status.

The four of them got back into the car, driven by Bai Chen, and headed towards Taicheng.

On the way, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian maintained a high degree of concentration, using their own methods to sense the changes around them.

Ten minutes later, the scene in the distance made them silent at the same time.

Taicheng, which was still "in" before, seems to have encountered a natural disaster like landslides and ground cracks. It has been buried by boulders, mud and cracks, and only some collapsed buildings are faintly revealed.

Surrounding the ruins that are extremely difficult to excavate, there are swamps formed by water-soaked vines, isthmuses whose bottoms cannot be seen, and barrier lakes that may collapse at any time...

Anyone who sees this scene will give up without hesitation and stop trying to explore Taicheng.

There are many city ruins on the ice sheet that are better for obtaining supplies, so there is no need to die here, the risks and benefits are completely out of proportion!

"There really is a fake platform city..." After silence, Long Yuehong said in a tone almost raving.

He was deeply shocked.

Room 302 in the ruins of the iron and steel factory is just a house with dozens of square meters. It hides the truth and covers the false, which makes people feel that it is not so exaggerated.

But now, what the "Old Tune Group" sees is a city with millions of people living in the old world, and it has been separated into real and fake sides!

Shang Jian Yao's expression gradually became excited:

"What will happen if we keep driving toward the isthmus without stopping?"

"Don't seek death." Jiang Baimian stopped this guy concisely.

She took a breath and said:

"Let's try a few more times to confirm which items allow us to enter Zhentai City. It may be of great use after that."

"Okay." Bai Chen looked back with some difficulty.

Since joining the "Old Tune Group", many of her past common sense are being subverted.

After several rounds of experiments, the "Old Tune Group" was clearly the result of the "Six Knowledge Pearl" and the Little Jade Buddha.

As long as they bring any of them, the "Old Tune Group" can enter the real stage city, provided that they are no more than 50 meters away from these two items.

"It's really amazing..." Long Yuehong concluded her attempt today with such a sentence.

At this time, the five members of the "Old Tune Group" were sitting on a jeep, slowly walking along the car-free streets of Zhentai City.

Gnawa looked at Jiang Baimian with red eyes:

"Where are we going next?"

Jiang Baimian has long had a draft:

"Find a city map near you first.

"Then go to Harbor Home, No. [-] Senior High School and Renhui Hospital in turn."

She sorted it according to the degree of danger—Gangwan Homeland was the place where Fan Wensi and Li Jinlong once rented, and it must have the least secrets, while the No. most risky places.

Chapter 1 Eighty Harbor Homes

Looking for city maps, the "Old Tune Group" is already familiar with it, and soon obtained several copies from suspected newsstands.

But the problem is that the size of these maps is quite limited, and only important things such as main roads, landmark buildings, tourist attractions, word-of-mouth restaurants, and medical facilities are marked, and it is impossible to specify each community and each building.

In other words, it is impossible to find the Harbor Home from these maps.

However, this is not difficult for Jiang Baimian, she thought for a while and said:

"Look for Renhui Hospital. Since Fan Wensi and Li Jinlong are here to accompany their son to receive treatment, the rented place will not be too far away from the hospital. We will focus on Renhui Hospital and search around."

Things are much easier when there is a reference.

"it is good."

"Ah."

"no problem."

"Okay!"

Long Yuehong and others responded one after another.

Soon, Gnawa located the location of Renhui Hospital.

Carbon-based people can't be faster than him.

"Let's go!" Shang Jianyao, who was sitting in the driving seat, waved his hands vigorously.

In the next second, he was not ashamed to ask:

"Old Ge, how do we go?"

"Go straight to the second intersection and turn left..." Gnava took on the role of intelligent navigation.

Although he was sitting on the right side of the back row, it did not affect his observation of the scene ahead.

Seeing the jeep start to move forward, Long Yuehong said worriedly:

"I don't know what dangers are hidden in those three places..."

"Maybe we'll meet someone strong or a monster at the 'New World' level!" Shang Jianyao changed into a threatening tone.

Gnava didn't know whether to cooperate or be honest:

"What if we do meet?"

Hey, the specifications of this Buddhist holy place in Taicheng are obviously higher than those of the previous three. It is really possible to encounter enemies related to the "New World"... Long Yuehong secretly took a breath, and was unwilling to show fear in front of Bai Chen , can only hold on, so that his face only changes slightly.

"It's definitely impossible to fight. Except for Lao Ge, no one here can stop the infection of 'Wuxin Disease'." Shang Jianyao exaggeratedly sighed, "And the protection of 'You Gu' is gone."
