Above the gray fog

Lin Shan flipped through the sketch. This vulgar god statue is a huge internal shelter.

Except for the toes representing six passages, the rest are the ‘inner city’ built by the Nippervalen Empire.

If there is an inner city, there must be an outer city.

The outer city is the area surrounding the vulgar god statue, which is now occupied by the Jiuqu tribe.

Since... this mustard seed space has been occupied by the Jiuqu tribe, the Nippervalen Empire’s shelter plan should have failed.

However, from the sentence in the diary that ‘the empire has decided that civilians will draw lots to enter various shelters’, it can be seen that the number of shelters prepared by the Nippervalen Empire should be large.

The old ruins seen before are also one, and it is a relatively important one, because the daughter of the empress of the empire is also placed there.

This vulgar god statue is most likely used to accommodate ordinary people. Perhaps, those who can enter the ‘inner city’... also have status in the Nippervalen Empire.

Lin Shan carefully flipped through the sketch. This sketch is a copy of the Jiuqu tribe, not the original. The text on it is the text of the Jiuqu tribe.

Translation is not difficult for Lin Shan, as the optical brain can easily translate any language of the Ten Thousand Races.

From the sketch, it can be vaguely seen that the two slender soles are two large cities. From the ankle upwards, they are not hollow, but are made up of platforms. There are staircase signs between the platforms, which should mean elevators. You need to take an elevator to go to the upper level.

The structure inside this vulgar god statue is a bit like climbing a tower, but the tower is a bit large. According to the markings on the sketch, the interior of the statue can accommodate 2 billion imperial citizens and meet the requirements of self-sufficiency, and it will not be particularly crowded.

To complete all this, it is necessary to use technology that is a dream for the human circle. The sketch only has the structure of the statue, and does not explain how the statue completes the internal circulation.

In addition to the toe area, the nose on the head of this statue also has two entrances, but... these two exits are used to transport construction materials.

After memorizing all the important information, Lin Shan put the sketch into the storage space and walked inside at a faster speed.

There should be no danger in the toe area, which does not belong to the urban area.

Half a day later

Lin Shan walked through the toe area.

This was the longest distance he had walked since he became a superhuman.

In front was the sole area. The soles of the common gods were different from those of normal humanoid creatures. They were slender and about a thousand kilometers long.

He had to walk two-thirds of the way, about 700 kilometers, and find the elevator to the upper platform before he could reach the platform on his ankle.

"Walking 700 kilometers..." Lin Shan frowned. It might take half a month.

With his physical strength, he wouldn't feel tired even after 700 kilometers, let alone 700 kilometers. But the reason why he could go without food or sleep and had almost unlimited energy and physical strength was because he had spirituality in his body to maintain and replenish his body's needs.

Every second, his spirituality was naturally consumed to maintain his physical strength. This consumption was a drop in the bucket compared to his huge spirituality, but it was also an additional spiritual expenditure when accumulated over a long period of time.

Half a month was naturally nothing? But the road ahead might take half a year, a year, or even several years. If he continued like this, it would also be a considerable expense.

Thinking this in his heart, Lin Shan's footsteps moved faster and faster, and finally he ran directly.

Arrived inside.

The previous suppression of mental power suddenly released a little, and mental power could easily spread to a place one kilometer away.

However, the darkness became more and more dense, and the light of the light ball was suppressed to... less than ten centimeters.

Lin Shan took the light ball back into his body, and it could no longer function.

At this stage, he could only use mental power to continue exploring.

Lin Shan suddenly stopped, and found through mental perception that there were more than a dozen corpses of Jiuqu people on the side, which had rotted into dry bones.

Their corpses were easy to identify because there were no joint bones in their joints, which was a very smooth structure.

Lin Shan was not surprised that the Jiuqu people had explored here, but why did they die in such a shallow position.

Using mental power to observe carefully, the clothes on it have not been completely weathered, and they should have come in in recent years. This was not the exploration of the once strongest Jiuqu people, but the people sent in by ordinary people outside.

When the disaster came, didn't the previous high-level people of the Jiuqu people explain the situation here to them?

Why send someone in?

Lin Shan was a little confused. Maybe the war came too quickly and was not explained in detail, so the people here wanted to explore on their own, or maybe it was just pure curiosity.

A gun slowly floated into Lin Shan's hand from the pile of bones.

Lin Shan played with it for a while, but did not find the magazine, but found a place to insert the battery.

Lin Shan pulled out the battery and held it in his hand.

Feel the so-called source energy.

There is indeed a strange power in the battery, which is somewhat similar to spirituality, but it is definitely not spirituality.

"This is the source power..." Lin Shan said to himself. He just tried to mobilize and absorb it, but the source energy in the battery did not respond to him.

Reinsert the battery into the gun, put it on your back, and continue to walk forward.

Gradually, some buildings appeared in Lin Shan's mental power.

These buildings in the Nippervalen Empire generally present extremely tall designs, with towering towers, bridges that shuttle like rainbows, vast squares, and sculptures of various colors that make people stop and stare, shining in the light gray tone.

Multi-story buildings stand like mountains, as if they are holding up the sky.

Lin Shan walked through the quiet streets, with only the whisper of the wind echoing in the empty streets.

There are buildings above the ground buildings that are built horizontally, floating in the air without any foundation, giving Lin Shan a great visual impact.

The sky is full of complex buildings, weird and random skull graffiti, and all the unknown Nippervalen Empire characters, which seem to be telling the history that has happened here.

These buildings radiate a mysterious and profound atmosphere, all wrapped in the source energy he just felt in the battery. They are both ancient and novel.

Ancient because they are buildings from countless years ago, and novel because no civilization in the human circle can build such a city.

Lin Shan took out the yellow paper.

Use identification on the text on the floating building.

[We want to go out! We want freedom! ]

[The end of the world has passed, and the black-hearted capital should not try to bind us again! ]

[Boring doomsday speech! Down with the secular god company! ]

[We want the sun! We want to enter a new place to live. ]

All of them were similar statements, declaring that the end of the world was fake, wanting to be free, etc. The most common one was a company called "Su Shen Company", which seemed to be the power holder inside the statue.

The word "company" was translated by Huang Zhi based on the meaning he could understand. The real name of this force might not be Su Shen Company.
