Chapter 170 Lesions

  Old World, also known as Focus of Infection.

  Yi Chen had read a brief introduction to the old world in the basic library area of ​​the big bookstore. This matter was not kept as a secret, but was fully disclosed to the organization.

  The organization has been built for so many years, at the expense of countless excellent gentlemen, and this has been determined through extensive investigation.

  All diseases are not produced by the world independently, but directly or indirectly contaminated from the old world, which is the source of diseases and the gathering place of the roots of all diseases.

  There is a sentence left by the founder of the organization on the title page of the book, as well as pictures.

   "It's not that we get sick, it's sickness that finds us (Werewenotill, it\'dcometous

  The attached drawings are divided into three parts:

  1. It outlines a planet that represents human life. The Middle Domain and the five continents are clearly marked on it, which is completely normal and no problem.

  2. In addition to our planet, there is a living planet on the right, with pus, festering and even growing tentacles that can float in space, but the entire planet is penetrated by a giant sword.

  3. The sick planet was successfully approached by the floating of its feet, sticking to the back of the human planet like a tumor. Subsequently, small holes are formed in this world through the drilling of the feet, and the diseases carried by them are spread through these small holes and gradually assimilated.

   This sick planet represents the old world, and the holes represent the passage.

certainly,

   This is just a legend that is greatly simplified and is convenient for most people to understand. The real situation needs to be expressed correctly through high-dimensional drawing.

  According to the description in the book, the old world, which is the focus, was locked in all directions for some reason, including the continuity of time and the expansion of space all stopped.

   There is no normal air to breathe,

  The simple exothermic chemical reaction corresponding to the kerosene lamp cannot take place,

   Such a completely locked world is like a human being nailed to the bed, removing all organs, tying up all blood vessels, disconnecting all muscles, and even inserting a scalpel through the brain.

   should have died directly,

  However, the 【Old World】is like a zombie. Not only did it not die, but germs were still growing in its body. The source of the disease hidden in the depths was still alive in some way.

   or swimming by touching feet,

   or spray a lot of metabolites,

   Such a diseased world can still wander between dimensions even when it is locked, randomly attaching to a normal world, absorbing its nutrients and passing the disease to it.

   The above is the basic information that Yi Chen read in the book,

   But there is no mention of the structure of the old world, the state of life in the old world, the distribution of forces, etc., you need to explore by yourself.

  『Lorian, when did you separate from me? 』

   Facing Yi Chen's question, he waited for a minute before the voice came back:

  『It's really disappointing... I'm extremely disappointed~ I didn't expect the origin of the disease to be a dying place, and I can't see any hope at all.

   That giant sword that came from nowhere might have killed this world countless epochs ago. No wonder it attached to the back of the human world and connected it with a [channel].

  I'm not in any hurry to go out and feel such a dead place. Stay inside your body for a while. When you have a chance to separate from your teammates or are forced to separate, I will peel it out of your body.

  This is also for you~ After all, once I peel it off, it means that your right half will be missing instantly.

   It is very dangerous to lose half of your body in such a dead world. As a small reward for bringing me here, I will give you a small surgery when we separate. 』

"Row. 』

  Beyond the shrine is the endless gray desert, which belongs to the surface layer of the old world.

  Many newcomers come to the old world for the first time like a headless fly, because they are afraid of losing the location of the [passage], they leave because of time problems without doing too much exploration.

  According to Zion’s internal statistics, the proportion of newcomers who first arrived in the old world to explore relics was only 8.1%.

   Not to mention that some of them are just ordinary relics, they are not comparable to the black umbilical cord in Yi Chen's hands,

  Some of them are also mixed with some luck. For example, after wandering in the desert for a while, they kicked a hard object, and when they picked it up, it was a fairly complete relic.

   In other words, if there is no clear exploration goal [the time of the day], it will pass quickly, and the individual consciousness will hesitate or become subjectively lost or even speed up the flow of time, and it will feel like a few hours will pass in a blink of an eye.

   Just when Yi Chen communicated with Lorian in his body,

   "This way!"

   "There is a sense here~"

   "This way... cluck!"

   At the same time, three voices sounded in the team,

   A voice came from Reagan. He tried to release electricity by touching the sand with his hands. The current that should have been scattered in disorder actually spread in a certain direction.

   A voice from Kim,

   As soon as she came up, she immediately started digging the sand, stretching her arms as deep as possible into the sand, and then poking out the roots of the red lotus.

   The red lotus, which is a "pathological feature", actually felt the sensation, and a red lotus grew on the surface of the sand not far away as a special signpost for progress.

  The third voice came from the little Pei on Jin's body. As an animal sick person, he jumped to the ground as soon as he came to the old world, and made a gesture of hatching an egg.

   Who knew that Xiaopei really hatched an egg, but it was a gray egg.

  Because everything in the old world is blocked, including 'fertility'...so this newly hatched egg is definitely dead.

   Hard, grey, like a cobblestone.

   This dead egg did not sink into the sand when it landed, but rolled between the undulating sand dunes and rolled in a certain direction.

   Even if the dead egg is picked up and put down again, it will still roll in a fixed direction.

but,

  The direction of the current flowing, the direction of the growth of the red lotus, and the route of the dead egg rolling are completely different, so multiple-choice questions appear.

   Time is limited and a decision must be made immediately.

   Just when Yi Chen was thinking quickly, Regan pinched the fat on his face with **** and gave his thoughts:

   "William, you alone can overcome the risk of [Concentrated Eye Syndrome], which is enough to show that you have the ability to explore relics alone.

   And, as the Watchers say, this time we're in a brand new, superficial, and least dangerous tunnel.

   It seems to me that we are all capable of searching for relics on our own.

  Since you can find three meaningful routes at the beginning, it is better to split up and act directly.

  I will take the current induction side, you and Miss Jin will each choose a path... Calculate the time, and we will meet at the temple in a day.

   strive to get our own and matching relics at one time. "

  Jin immediately raised his right hand and agreed: "That's it~ Since it is the lowest difficulty exploration of the old world, it is necessary to strive for the greatest gain."

  Yi Chen turned his attention to the two teammates and affirmed the proposal.

   "One day later, the temple will meet! Remember, be sure to watch the time..."

   When Yi Chen exhorted this sentence, he immediately approached Jin's side, took the initiative to give a hug and put it in her ear and said:

   "Kim, remember, one day!"

  Jin reached out and gently lifted a corner of the mask, revealing his thin pink lips, and turned his head against Yi Chen's earlobe.

"As I said, in this completely unknown and hidden risk area, I will restrain myself, and I will try my best to survive. Once I die, it will not be fun... But William, don't play too hard and forget the time. already."

   Between words,

  Jin quickly reached out and touched Yi Chen's shirt and put it on his right chest.

   "I felt it from the beginning... The physical rhythm of your right half is different than usual. Although I don't know why you are hiding it from us, I still believe you.

  Don't mess around, remember to meet on time in a day. "
