Infinity Throne

Members of the investigation team are no strangers to "no man's land".

So they all behaved calmly.

After the car was stable, the investigation team and the field team got out of the car one after another.

The no-man's land around the giant tower was originally a bustling city, but the moment the tower appeared, the terrifying power destroyed everything around it, whether it was buildings, roads, or... creatures.

Everything rests.

Only ruins were left.

Yi Lin squinted her eyes and looked into the thick fog.

The gray fog is somewhat similar to the scene in Guiwu Mountain.

But Yi Lin knew very well that this thick fog was more than just "fog".

Ordinary people simply cannot survive in the "dense fog" for a long time. Once they stay for too long, they will be infected with various diseases inexplicably. Human beings living in the dense fog will have their bodies decay day by day at a terrifying speed. The only way to do this is to leave. Once there is no man's land, diseases will gradually be cured.

This is also the main reason why no man's land has remained uninhabited during this decade.

Detecting the components of dense fog in uninhabited areas is also one of the main investigation contents of the investigation team.

Yi Lin also knew very well that no matter how many times, the investigation team would return without success.

Because this is not an existence that humans can understand.

This is almost a "rule" power that cannot be explained by human technology.

Yi Lin asked casually while others were unloading the goods.

"Did you stay up late last night?"

"Yes, what else?" Molly yawned. Fortunately, Yi Lin gave her a bottle of "specialty ghost oil", which gave her more energy to stay up late.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Molly whispered: "Isn't it because of you?"

"Me?" Yi Lin was startled.

"A lot of information was found from the Xiao family's industries, and one of them, 'neural link technology', was actually developed by them to the point where it can be used on the human body. That guy Lao Zhao threw it to me and let me take a look. , can you find other reasonable ways to open it?"

"Neural link technology?" Yi Lin frowned.

"Simply put, it is a technology that links human nerves with mechanical components. Originally, this technology was hypothesized as early as the last century, but for some reasons, it has been stuck in the stage of human clinical trials, so in the end it was Being put on hold.”

"Now there is a ready-made result, and the higher-ups will definitely not let it go easily."

Molly explained it simply in an easy-to-understand way.

As for the reason for "some reason", it is not difficult to guess.

Originally, technologies such as "human transformation and human cloning" were areas that were explicitly prohibited from research by Dragon Kingdom law.

The reason is simple: it is not in line with scientific ethics.

But now that Xiao Mo has put this technology with theoretical success stories on the table, the upper management will never give up on this high-end technology.

Molly just mentioned it casually and didn't go into details.

The bus was parked on the side of the road.

All the instruments were packed and each person carried a portion. Even Yilin was asked to carry a heavy bag as she was about to enter the uninhabited land to explore.

"Be careful. Once this precision instrument is damaged, it will directly ruin this investigation."

Ju Xiuyuan spoke in a firm tone, staring at Yi Lin and giving cold instructions.

Yi Lin looked at Ju Xiuyuan with a calm expression.

For a moment, Ju Xiuyuan felt a little scared when he was stared at by Yi Lin's calm eyes.

"Set off!"

Wang Bing didn't waste any time. When he saw that everyone was ready, he took the lead and walked in front of the team.

Although the thick fog around the Tower of Death is harmful to the human body, it is only a brief investigation and will not cause much harm to people.

This is the conclusion reached by numerous investigations over the past decade.

"Um?"

Right now.

Yi Lin suddenly turned her head and looked behind her.

At the end of the road, there is nothing special.

"Illusion?"

Before Yi Lin could think carefully about the weird feeling just now, the investigation team began to step into the thick gray fog.

Wang Bing opened a sophisticated PAD and called up the map.

As soon as he stepped into the no-man's land, even though he knew clearly that there were no "living people" living in the no-man's land, he did not dare to take it lightly, and his expression suddenly became solemn.

"Everyone, be careful. We are now at the edge of 'Jiuchang Town'. Keep walking along this road for about 3 kilometers and you will arrive at the city square of 'Jiuchang County'. The location there is relatively open and suitable for the investigation team to make preliminary investigations. Observe.”

Wang Bing had already carefully determined the direction before entering the no-man's land, so he would not be wrong.

It has been nearly 10 years since November 11, 2111, Tower Era.

In the past ten years, countless survey teams have entered the uninhabited land for observation, but so far they have not been able to observe the full picture of the uninhabited land and the "Tower of Death".

The most terrifying thing in the no-man's land is not just the layer of "grey fog" that makes people unknowingly contract diseases.

In the no-man's land, the magnetic field is chaotic. With the current level of human science and technology, it is still impossible to correctly identify the direction in the no-man's land.

The only thing that can be relied on is the "old map" left over ten years ago. Based on the landmarks that can be identified with the naked eye, compare it with the "old map" to identify the general direction.

The so-called "Jiuchang Town" actually means that this was once a town called "Chang".

But now it has been wiped off the map.

It's called "Jiuchang Town".

But the no-man's land is already in ruins. In the gray fog, after ten years of vicissitudes, many buildings have long changed their appearance. Therefore, the accuracy of building comparisons on old maps is only about 60%, according to incomplete statistics.

Once you lose your way in no man's land, if you cannot leave the no man's land in a short time, the consequence... is that you will never be able to get out of the no man's land.

In the eyes of countless people, although there are no monsters or traces of other living people in this no-man's land, it is more like a monster that chooses people to eat, and people stay away from it.

Wang Bing took the lead, two people from the field team were on the side of the team, and two people were at the back, protecting everyone in the investigation team in the center to prevent anyone from falling behind or getting lost.

In the uninhabited area, due to magnetic field interference, the wireless communication distance is also limited. Once the distance is more than 50 meters, the micro communicators in the ears of Yi Lin and the field team will lose their function.

Molly and Yi Lin were in the center of the team and followed the team forward.

"Have you been up there?" Molly suddenly moved closer to Yi Lin and asked in a voice that only two people could hear.

Yi Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the looming giant tower in the distance, and then said softly: "I guess... I've been up there before."

Molly became interested as soon as she heard it: "Been there? How is the scenery up there?"

Yi Lin shook her head and chuckled: "You don't want to know."

Molly pursed her lips: "Stingy, will you die if you tell me?"

"Let's talk about it when we have time."

Molly thought for a moment, and it was really not a good time to talk about this kind of topic because there were so many people around her.

So she could only suppress her eagerness to explore and concentrate on following the team.

This is not the first time Molly has entered no man's land.

I remember that after I came back from the no-man’s land for the first time, I fell seriously ill.

Later, a famous tower researcher risked his life and entered the no-man's land many times and came to a conclusion by analyzing the data.

The maximum time humans can stay in no man's land is... 72 hours.

Once this time limit is exceeded, "ingesting" too much fog may cause irreversible damage to the human body.

And this expert who is not afraid of death is none other than.

——It was Ju Xiuyuan in the team.

Therefore, although Molly is the nominal captain, in fact, Ju Xiu has far more experience in entering no man's land than Molly.

Perhaps this is also the reason why Ju Xiuyuan dislikes Molly.

But of course, with his qualifications, he wouldn't care too much about the 18-year-old Molly.

After all, he recognized Molly's scientific research level deep down.

There is even a bit of indescribable jealousy.

Before Molly showed her talent, he didn't believe that there were "geniuses" in the world.

Everyone walked in silence for nearly 40 minutes.

There are fewer and fewer intact buildings around.

"This is a traffic light... a zebra crossing... there used to be a fountain in the center of the city square... it should be right here!"

After Wang Bing carefully compared the "old map", he turned around and shouted to the others: "We are now at the 'Jiuchang Town' city square. Everyone can move around freely, but be careful not to stray too far from the crowd. Otherwise, once lost, the consequences will be disastrous.”

Everyone in the investigation team expressed their understanding.

Yi Lin also carefully put down her equipment.

"Hey, hey, who is that..."

At this time, a middle-aged female researcher who was conservatively dressed in baggy jeans and with her hair in a bun saw Yi Lin’s actions and quickly stepped forward and frowned: "You are the intern researcher who is with the team..."

Before Yi Lin could answer, Molly rushed in front of Yi Lin and said in a low voice: "Sister Qing, his name is Yi Lin."

Molly introduced before that Feng Manqing was a well-known doctor of microbiology in China ten years ago. After the Tower Era, he began to study tower science because he was very interested in "towers".

Compared with the mysterious "tower", what interests Feng Manqing more is the "grey fog" shrouding the no-man's land.

As for the composition of this layer of gray fog, there is still no accurate statement, and there is endless debate among academic circles.

But what is clear is that morphologically speaking, this "gray fog" is not a gas, a non-solid, or a liquid. It is a material form that does not exist in nature.

Regardless of the use of gas masks, isolation gowns, semi-biological semi-permeable membranes, and various scientific methods, they cannot prevent the invasion of gray fog on the human body.

The word "fog" is actually inappropriate.

But for now, the scientific community is currently unable to use more accurate vocabulary to name this mysterious substance.

The reason why Feng Manqing is interested in "grey fog" is that she believes that this "grey fog" is most likely an unknown "microorganism". As long as the components of the gray fog can be successfully extracted, Feng Manqing will make her mark in human history. There are heavy ink marks left on it.

"Oh, yes, I'm sorry, I forgot before." Feng Manqing carefully opened the bag. Inside was a high-tech partitioned constant temperature storage box. From the constant temperature box, Feng Manqing took out many sealed glass bottles.

In these glass bottles, there are all kinds of things.

There are flowers, grass, leaves, liquids of various colors, and even laboratory animals such as mice and insects.

Molly glanced at Yi Lin and saw that Yi Lin's eyes were wandering. She couldn't help but smile and explained: "This 'grey fog' cannot be preserved in any way, so Sister Qing plans to use the 'indirect observation method' to remove the 'grey mist'." Take back various specimens affected by the fog to see if you can extract the special ingredients affected by the gray fog——"

suddenly.

Molly's smile froze on her face and her tone stopped abruptly.

Yi Lin's palm suddenly grabbed her little hand, and stretched out a finger, constantly touching the center of Molly's soft palm...

Scratch and scratch, rub and rub.

Makes Molly feel a little...

itch.

Molly was stunned for a moment.

Expression dull.

The mouth opened into an O shape.

etc--

What kind of weird development is this?

In this broad daylight, under the gaze of everyone, do you need to be so anxious? Why don't you go to a place with no one around?

But in fact, if you think about it carefully, the visibility is not high under the gray fog. As long as the two people do not move too much, the others will focus on their own work and will not notice this...

Nonsence!

No, no, no, that’s not the point at all, okay?

Molly was a little crazy.

She couldn't understand why a bunch of random thoughts suddenly popped into her head.

Maybe this is the problem for people with high IQs.

In just a few seconds, countless thoughts ran through Molly's mind.

This kick is not the same. If he doesn't kick, he will look a bit arrogant.

For a moment, Molly was so distracted that she forgot to take her hand out.

When Molly came to her senses, she glared at Yi Lin fiercely.

Yi Lin lowered her head in embarrassment: "I'm a little... urgent to urinate."

Feng Manqing worked for a while, but when she heard Yi Lin's words, she couldn't help but raise her head.

Molly became a little anxious immediately: "Does it have anything to do with me whether you are in a hurry or not?"

"This..." Yi Lin didn't let go of Molly's hand, feeling a bit of moisture coming from Molly's palm: "Am I not... not familiar with this place?"

Molly: "..."

Feng Manqing laughed. She continued to wear latex gloves to avoid contaminating the specimen. She glanced at the two people's clasped hands without leaving any trace, and then looked away: "The young man is quite good, Xiaoli, just go with him... It’s convenient.”

"Sister Qing!"

Molly was embarrassed, she couldn't hear the ridicule in Sister Qing's words.

Yi Lin tapped her ears twice with her fingers.

Um...just two.

Then he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. There are no 'outsiders' around. Even if there are, there are professionals protecting me. It doesn't matter if you are here or not. Just go with me. It's not far."

Molly's expression changed slightly, and then she nodded helplessly.

Without saying anything else, Yi Lin pulled him towards the gray mist.

People have three urgent needs. After walking for more than half an hour, Yi Lin's behavior was not too abnormal.

Feng Manqing gave a few instructions, then lowered his head and continued to focus on his work.

One of the field team members noticed Yi Lin and Molly leaving, and his tone was a bit surprised: "Where are you... going?"

Yi Lin explained again with a smile.

Molly's face was a little pale, and the palm held by Yi Lin was trembling slightly.

But under the cover of the gray mist, the change in Molly's expression was not too obvious.

"Then remember not to leave too far! Don't exceed the communication distance."

"Understood." Yi Lin smiled and said, "Then please pay attention to the safety of others."

"..."

Yi Lin held Molly's little hand all the way and trotted more than 20 meters away.

Molly couldn't help but look back. Under the gray fog, the figures of other people were gradually becoming less clear.

It was as if there were only two of them left in this world.

Molly suddenly lowered her head and looked around timidly.

"You said there won't be anyone around to see us like this, right?"

"What kind?" Yi Lin's expression seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and she slowly let go of Molly's hand.

"so?"

"Hmm..." Molly responded in a low voice.

"Haha, you are overthinking. There is not even a single ghost in this no-man's land, let alone a human being?"

Molly glared at Yi Lin: "Didn't you say you wanted to pee?"

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot." Yi Lin spoke very slowly, but seemed to be careless.

Yi Lin put his hand into his pants pocket.

A card was held in his hand.

No one saw it.

Molly's eyes widened, but there was a bit of fear and curiosity in her eyes.

Yi Lin turned her head: "Be good, the next scene is too violent and not suitable for young girls. Just close your eyes and it will be fine for a few seconds."

Violence, your sister!

Molly complained in her heart, but she didn't dare to say anything more and closed her eyes tightly.

hiss--

"Do it!"

suddenly!

In the deserted place, a low shout suddenly came.

The surrounding gray fog fluctuated slightly.

Four different directions.

But before the low voice sounded, Yi Lin's movements were faster and one step ahead of the low voice.

Yi Lin flipped her palm over, and the Blood Jasmine card that had been possessed not long ago was silently broken.

But at the moment when the blood jasmine shattered, what appeared from the light in Yi Lin's palm was not the blood jasmine in the form of a short sword!

But...

Countless threads soaked in bloody light!

Chi chi chi chi——

"Wang Bing! Directly behind! The distance is about half a meter! Try to stay alive!"

The moment Yi Lin took action, she gave instructions directly using the micro communicator.

Countless bloodshot eyes, like a peacock spreading its wings, spread out in all directions with Yi Lin and Mo Li at the center.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the area within ten meters centered on the two people was covered with dense blood without any gaps.

Molly had already heard the noise in her ears, but she frowned and closed her eyes tightly, not daring to open them. However, her delicate body kept shaking uncontrollably, revealing some fear in her heart.

"how--"

"possible!"

The four almost transparent figures were penetrated by countless bloodshot threads. They were directly strung into twists around the two people and were frozen in place, unable to move.

The blood threads were too dense and filled the space almost instantly. The figure had dozens of fine blood threads penetrating through just one finger. At this moment, even the simple action of moving a finger could It seems extremely difficult.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock, tick tock.

Countless blood drops dripped along the blood thread.

Make the blood color more vivid.

The four almost transparent figures were soon stained red with blood.

Molly finally couldn't help but open her eyes.

Seeing the scene in front of me, I couldn't help but be shocked.

"This is... a gamma-type military camouflage jacket!"

Molly looked at the four transparent figures dyed "bloody", and after suppressing her shock, the first thing she said was this sentence.

Yi Lin listened to the voice coming from the communicator in her ear.

The commotion over there seemed to be gradually calming down.

Yi Lin shook and twisted her palms, and countless bloodshot threads cut through the bodies of the four figures.

After cutting, Yi Lin took back all the countless blood threads.

[Get chaos value...]

Four messages popped up in front of Yi Lin's eyes at the same time...

Quadra Kill!

Molly looked at the horrifying pool of meat and internal organs and the blood all over the ground. Her face turned red and white. Even though she had studied anatomy and thought she would be calm no matter what situation she faced, she felt a twinge in her stomach at this moment. The position rolled.

After a while, Molly finally suppressed the desire to vomit.

Yi Lin shook off the blood on her hand and looked at Molly, who looked not very well, speechlessly: "Didn't I warn you that the scene was very violent? You didn't listen."

Molly heard the hint of gloating in Yi Lin's tone, and she wanted to kick Hun Dan in the face.

But she knew she was in the wrong, so she didn't do anything.

Just taking a deep breath and calming down a little, she asked: "Who are these people...?"

"It's broken like this...it's weird that I can recognize it."

Yi Lin shook his head, and then asked through the communicator: "Wang Bing, how are you doing there?"

"died."

Yi Lin frowned: "Did you kill him?"

"No..." Wang Bing said in a strange tone, "He committed suicide."
