Chapter 37 The World and the Gray Realm

　Books,

 What Yi Chen was best at during his lifetime.

 With the new profession of [student],

 He didn't realize how fast he turned the pages of the book. He stayed on each page for at most one second, which was the same as drinking water.

 It only takes about ten minutes to complete the entire reading of "History of the World".

 The whole brain also becomes refreshed because of reading, and I get an unprecedented sense of thinking satisfaction.

 All the plate structures of this world have been recorded in the brain.

 There is a certain similarity between this place and Yi Chen’s previous world [Earth], which is mainly divided into land and ocean, accounting for 37.1% and 62.9% respectively.

 The land consists of a supercontinent and five continents surrounding it.

Supercontinent-Middle-Earth

It is huge, almost equal to the area of ​​all continents combined.

  1.Shambles

It has the most suitable seasonal climate for biological survival, the most developed animal husbandry, and the most meat exports. It even looks like a steak on the map.

  2.Everglade

Most of the region is covered by rainforest, and it is also the continent where the world's largest rainforest is located. It has nurtured many ancient civilizations and a large number of primitive tribes that have been out of touch with the times live in it.

 Coastal areas are heavily infiltrated by modern industry.

 Most of them are port cities, mainly engaged in fishing and wood industry.

  3. San Carlos (San-Carlos)

  *A continent dominated by plains. It looks square on the map and has many rivers. It is the continent with the most population outside the Central Region, and the developed countries distributed in this continent are also second only to the Central Region.

  4. Quechua

Most of the continent is dominated by mountains and valleys. The entire continent has a rich vertical structure and rich mineral veins, which naturally attracts a large amount of capital. Large factories and rows of giant chimneys can be seen in almost every city.

 The land plate is in the shape of vertical strips, with the north near the pole, where the mountains are covered with snow all year round.

 It is worth mentioning that this is also the continent where Yi Chen is located.

G&D's headquarters, Zion City, is located on one of the peaks close to the central mountains. Surrounded by mountains, it occupies a high point and is relatively hidden.

  5.Broken-Islands

This is the only continent located in the southern hemisphere. Tens of thousands of years ago, a strong earthquake caused the plates to separate and turn into thirteen islands.

 Each island has a country, which is relatively underdeveloped.

 …

 The above is the general outline of this world.

 One thing worth noting is that it is marked with an asterisk in the lower right corner of the world map, and a small text is attached.

 【This map was drawn 50 years before the Binghua era】

　　　The era of disease...that is to say, when "symptoms of disease" began to appear all over the world, posing an irreversible threat to human society, did people start to re-evaluate the era?

 How many years is it now? 』

 Little Grape responded:

“According to the integrated memory in my head, it should be the year 371 of the Disease Era.

 The connection between our continent, Quechua, and other continents, as well as the Central Region, was completely severed about two hundred years ago.

 The reason I have said before,

  The spread of gray areas has led to the forced end of the electrical age, technological regression, and the abandonment of all connection facilities once built by human society.

 No one knows what the situation is like in other continents, and no one knows if Quechua is the only continent with survivors.

How are you doing? Do you feel a little hopeless? 』

　　　『No…it’s very interesting~ This gives you a feeling of adventure, doesn’t it?

By the way, aren’t the clothes we wear capable of resisting disease and exploring gray areas?

There are so many capable people in the organization. If we are fully prepared and send out a small team or even a large force like Chamberson to conduct expedition-style exploration, we should be able to reach other continents, right? 』

　　　‘Don’t think so simply.

 【Gray area】is quite dangerous, and there are also gradient differences.

The most terrifying gray area, the pathogens inside are catastrophic. Even if they are not touched, they will be wiped out if they are even slightly close.

The gray realm you rode through in the carriage before was just the lowest form of existence that had just been formed.

Moreover, the carriage itself has resistance characteristics, and you also pass through quickly as passers-by... Real exploration is extremely dangerous. 』

　　　『Little Grape, your memory seems to have increased? 』

"ah? Maybe it has something to do with me swallowing that giant eye, which allowed the fragmented memories in my brain to be combined into more pieces. If you feed me more delicious grapes in the future, maybe you can remember more useful things. 』

  ‘Then let’s quickly talk about the gradient problem of [gray domain]. 』

 At Yi Chen’s request,

Little Putao directly passed this memory file to the past through consciousness.

 Different gray areas,

  It is divided into five levels according to its degree of progression, time and the influence of some unknown factors.

˜【Thin】

  【中（Middling）】

ˆ【Heavy (Severe)】

  【forbidden】

  【dead】

 In areas covered by gray areas, the species composition, landform structure and even the most fundamental spatial structure may change, lurking unpredictable dangers.

 Gentlemen between organizations usually explore the first three levels of gray areas.

 The fourth level of gray domain is almost impossible to complete a comprehensive exploration.

  Being able to obtain some props and information from the fourth level gray realm, and escaping completely is already quite powerful.

 As for the fifth level,

Little Putao’s memory fragments didn’t record much, except that once he went in, it was impossible to come out again.

 The oceans separated by various continents are randomly distributed with high-level gray areas.

 This is also the main reason why communication between continents cannot be achieved. Going to sea recklessly will only lead to death.

 …

 After understanding the basic situation of the world and the gray area,

Yichen's curiosity was also completely amplified, and he wanted to know more, especially [the origin of the disease].

It’s a pity that I rummaged through the entire bookcase and couldn’t find any books related to the disease.

 There is no information about the origin of the disease among Little Grape's memory fragments.

　　　Gurgling!

The white owl that was originally standing in the corner landed on a nearby branch at some point.

It actually spit out a gentle and slightly old male voice from its beak:

“Books about [disease] cannot be written.

Even if it is just a seemingly insignificant connection in words, it is possible for books to become a ‘disease vector’, passing on unknown pathogens.

What you want to know can naturally be learned in the course "Pathology".

However, even the best teachers in this college, even the most knowledgeable gentlemen in Zion City, only have a superficial or slightly in-depth understanding of [disease].

If you want to know more, go get stronger. "

 After saying that, the owl turned and flew back to its original position.

"knew."

Yi Chen was not surprised at all by this talking owl. After all, he had something even weirder on his shoulder.

 It’s boring anyway.

Moreover, the reading process just now was so enjoyable that Yi Chen simply read all the books in the bookcase... A large amount of dopamine was produced due to reading, and the whole person became more and more excited during the reading process.

Even the basic attribute [Intelligence] has been slightly improved (<0.1).

Two hours passed before I knew it,

 Professor Chamberson finally completed the detailed special training schedule, and all his time was occupied every day without wasting any time.

 When he looked up, he found that Yi Chen had just put a book back on the bookcase.

 “Are you reading a book? You seem very excited...how are you reading?”

"finish watching."

 “Which book have you finished reading?”

 “I’ve read it all.”

"What?"
