The last building on earth

Wang Xuan followed Xu Jian outside and found that the sky was getting dark. There was a wave of insects at noon. Now, most of the day had passed and night was about to fall.

"Chief, if I don't want to be the leader of the Xuan Gang, can I decline?" Wang Xuan thought for a while and asked.

He was only half interested in being the leader of the Xuan Gang, but his more interest was in the world above.

Xu Jian looked back at him and said, "Of course. If you really don't want to take the job, no one can force you, but maybe you don't know if you want to."

He paused slightly before saying: "Actually, being the leader has certain benefits."

"What's the benefit?"

Xu Jian smiled slightly and said, "You will know it soon."

After speaking, he looked at the sky and said, "It will get dark soon, let's go."

Wang Xuan stopped talking and followed Xu Jian to the giant glass column in the center of the square.

Xu Jian opened the No. 8 elevator and walked in.

Wang Xuan noticed this detail very early, that is, when they enter the world above, or come down from above, they all enter the eighth elevator. There must be a reason for this. Wang Xuan guessed that among the ten elevators, this is the only one. Elevator No. 8 leads to the world above, or to the world above that these five major forces are familiar with.

Entering the elevator is the same as when entering Bug Town. The inside of the elevator does not look much different from an ordinary elevator, except that the space is much larger. Looking at the buttons, it is a building with three floors underground and nine floors above ground.

Xu Jian pressed the button to go to the third floor, and the elevator door quickly closed.

"Chief, I remember that entering Insect Town not only requires the hatchling beast to grow into a sub-body, but also requires a clown mask as a pass to go to these three floors?"

Feeling the slight vibration of the elevator and starting to rise, Xu Jian said: "It's almost the same to enter the third floor. The hatching beast needs to grow to a super state. It is said that there were other requirements in the past. Similar to entering the insect town, a clown mask is required as a pass, but now it is not required. All it takes is to enter the super state."

Wang Xuan asked strangely: "Why? The rules for entering the third level have changed?"

Xu Jian shook his head and said: "It's not that the rules have changed, but because the system has failed."

Wang Xuan was startled.

At this moment, the slight vibration of the elevator stopped, and the elevator door in front of him opened.

Originally, Wang Xuan thought that just like when he entered Insect Town before, there would be a faint white light curtain outside. This white light curtain would detect whether the person entering met the standards. If they did not meet the standards, they would be blocked by this white light.

But now entering the third floor, I found that there was no such white light curtain at the elevator door, and it was a bit dark to the eyes.

Night has fallen quietly. It seems that the time on the third floor is the same as that on the second floor. It is now night.

Xu Jian stepped out straight away, and Wang Xuan also walked out slowly. There was no detection or prompt information, which made him frown slightly.

The elevator door behind closed silently, and the sight he saw was completely beyond Wang Xuan's expectation.

Originally, the third-level world in his imagination should be more grand than the second-level Insect Town. At least what he could see should be a town much larger than Insect Town.

But what I see now is a dilapidated scene. A large number of towering trees can be seen in the distance. Any big tree must be tens of meters high. At a glance in the night, there is a virgin forest in all directions. The scene has no end in sight. This third world is actually an endless forest?

Looking up at the sky, it is dark and dark, with no top visible. Unlike the sky in the second-level insect town, which is about a hundred meters high, the sky in this third-level world looks more like the sky on Earth. The only difference is that there are no stars at night; All gloomy.

Looking back behind me, it is even more amazing. There are giant glass pillars standing here, and each glass pillar is inlaid with ten elevators. Judging from the glass pillars on the second floor, these giant glass pillars with elevators The pillar should lead to the sky, to a higher level.

But now, most of these giant glass pillars are destroyed, as if they were cut off by some force. There are no glass pillars that can lead to the end of the sky above.

Wang Xuan's heart beat wildly when he saw it for the first time. Doesn't this mean that he can no longer take these elevators to reach higher floors?

At this moment, he suddenly understood why Xu Jian just said that the system was malfunctioning.

"Chief, this is..."

Wang Xuan's face was filled with shock. You must know that to them, this glass column and these elevators are part of this building. They are indestructible and impossible to damage. But now...

Seemingly understanding why Wang Xuan was shocked, Xu Jian looked normal and said, "I was more surprised than you when I saw it for the first time. This is what the third level of the world really looks like. You can probably tell that these elevators Most of it has been destroyed, and this third level of the world has reached the top, and we can no longer access higher floors through the elevator."

"Don't ask me how it was destroyed, I don't know." Xu Jian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There were originally ten glass pillars reaching the sky, and there were ten elevators in each glass pillar, a total of one hundred elevators, representing Hundred Towns, Chong Town is just one of the Hundred Towns.”

"But now because the elevators are seriously damaged, not only can they not go up at all, but there are also many elevators down there that are malfunctioning and cannot be started, which means that these towns are no longer accessible. In addition, there are also some towns that cannot carry it. The city has been destroyed by disasters like the insect tide. I originally thought that the insect town would not survive this time, but I didn’t expect that because of you..."

Xu Jian took a deep breath and said: "So the superiors attach great importance to you. Originally I thought I would bring you here tomorrow when it gets dark, but the superiors are a little excited and want to see you now."

Wang Xuan looked around. There used to be ten sky-high glass pillars and hundreds of elevators here. Although they were seriously damaged, they occupied a large area. In this area, there was no grass growing on the ground, and this area was completely occupied by virgin forest. For the third level of the world, the bareness here is the most special.

Wang Xuan looked carefully at the ground and saw traces of some glass columns that were completely destroyed, as well as some broken walls, which seemed to mean that there should have been some buildings around here, but they were all destroyed. This was so because this area was special. Manufacturing, there is still no vegetation growing on the ground.

"Isn't there Xuan City and Rakshasa City...Why, there are virgin forests all around. Where is Xuan City..." Wang Xuan looked around with an incomprehensible look on his face, and then he saw two people appearing not far away. The figure was walking slowly over.

They also saw Wang Xuan and Xu Jian, but they didn't seem to care too much. They just glanced at them and walked straight towards the glass cylinder on the other side, where it seemed that the elevator had not been completely damaged.

Wang Xuan saw that one of them was wearing a full set of ghost equipment, and the other was wearing a full set of silver scale equipment, and he guessed that they were also super strong men like himself.

After all, those who can enter this third level of the world should be super-states.

They opened the elevator and walked in, and then the elevator door closed.

Wang Xuan looked around and found a sign hanging above the elevator with the words "Fire Town" written on it.

Looking at other elevators, almost every relatively well-preserved elevator has a sign hanging on it, such as "Stone Town", "Beast Town", "Sand Town", "Witch Town" and so on.

Even the elevator they just stepped out of also had a sign that said "Insect Town".

Wang Xuanding heard what Xu Jian just said, this place was once so prosperous that there were as many as a hundred towns. Every elevator could lead down to a small town. Of course, it could also go up to higher floors. But now, The passages leading up to the ten glass columns were completely destroyed, and these elevators could no longer lead to higher floors.

Hearing Wang Xuan wonder about the location of Xuancheng and Rakshasa City, Xu Jian pointed towards the distance and said: "It's not far away, over there."

Wang Xuan carefully identified the direction he pointed, and then he could barely see that there seemed to be a dark shadow of a city among the towering trees. It was just because the surroundings were completely obscured by trees, and it was very dark at night. , if you don’t look carefully, it’s really hard to find that there is a city hidden there.

"Let's go." Xu Jian smiled and said, "You will soon understand everything about this third world."

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked towards the distance.

When he reached the edge of this barren land, Wang Xuan suddenly discovered that there were complex and huge rune patterns carved on the ground at the edge. Looking carefully, he saw that the rune patterns surrounded these elevators, forming a circle with this place as the center. Huge circle.

"This is the safest place. These rune patterns are actually a special formation that can protect us at critical moments."

As he talked, he walked forward. After seeing this rune pattern, the ground was covered with weeds. These weeds were very deep, nearly one meter. When everyone walked inside, most of their bodies were covered. If there were any monsters hidden inside, , very difficult to detect.

As soon as Wang Xuan entered it, he immediately became alert.

Xu Jian also had four beast arms growing out of his back and entered a state of alert.

"It's not safe here." Wang Xuan understood after seeing Xu Jian's reaction, and immediately extended the metal tentacles.

Xu Jian said: "Normally it's relatively safe, but just in case, it's always good to be careful."

In addition to the meter-high grass, there are also a large number of towering ancient trees tens of meters high. Wang Xuan felt very small when walking among them. Compared to this forest, he and Xu Jian looked too small.

After walking about ten meters into the forest, I saw a wall.

This wall is about fifteen meters high, which is higher than the ten-meter-high wall in Chong Town. However, when Wang Xuan got closer, he realized why he had not noticed that there was a wall here before.

Just because the fifteen-meter-high wall was covered with various plants. Various plants that he didn't recognize almost completely covered the wall. There were also some strange and huge flowers blooming on it, as if it had become like this. It was part of the forest, so he was hidden in this forest and the light was a little dark, so he failed to notice it.

"There is no way. The plants here grow too fast. It would be better if you don't cut down these big trees. If you cut them down, they will only grow faster and become bigger. So there is no other way but to let them go. They grow."

Xu Jian explained helplessly: "So the walls around Xuancheng were covered with plants. They were cleaned several times before, but then we had no choice but to ignore them. It was the same in other cities, so if we didn't look carefully, it would still be It’s really hard to spot.”

As he spoke, he grabbed an arm-thick ivy in front of him and climbed up.

Wang Xuan stretched out his right hand, and a metal tentacle appeared, which was also wrapped around a piece of ivy. As it went up, he said: "We want to climb over the wall? Don't we need to go through the city gate?"

Xu Jian smiled bitterly and said: "City gate? Didn't you say that? The plants here are so developed that they are growing like crazy. The city gate has been sealed by plants for a long time. After finally cleaning it, it will only grow bigger the next day. There are so many, now everyone is too lazy to care about it, just go in and out and climb over the wall."

Wang Xuan was dumbfounded when he heard this. What the hell is this third level world? Although the outside of Insect Town is a world of all kinds of bugs, the inside of Insect Town is quite normal. At least except for the insect tide, everyone is living pretty well. But This third level of the world... began to leave him speechless.

Originally, he was full of fantasies about the third-level world. At least in his opinion, it must be more grand, grand and formal than Insect Town. It may not be similar to an ancient city, but it must be very lively inside.

But now he has completely changed this feeling.

The two of them were very fast and easily climbed up the fifteen-meter-high wall. The wall was very thick, more than three meters, and covered with various plants. Standing on the wall, Wang Xuan noticed the internal area of ​​Xuan City. It's not small, much larger than Insect Town. There are a lot of buildings in it, and it looks more majestic than Insect Town. This is the first time he has felt the extraordinary features of this third-level world.

However, no matter what style of building or even on the ground, there are plants.

He saw a tower-like building in the center of Xuancheng, which was twenty or thirty meters high. There were also a lot of plants climbing on the outside. From a distance, it looked like an ancient tower-shaped tree.

The other surrounding buildings, no matter how tall or short they are, or how much area they occupy, have more or less plants attached to them.

Only a handful of buildings were relatively clean and barely looked like they were inhabited.

"Is this really Xuancheng?" Wang Xuan had a complicated expression on his face. This Xuancheng seemed to have been very large in the past, but now it is seriously infiltrated by plants. It can be said that most of it is covered by various plants. If it weren't for the He saw some faint lights inside, and he really suspected that this was an abandoned city that had been assimilated by the forest.

"Of course it's true, and it's not just Xuancheng, it's the same in other cities. Although we have tried various methods, we can't solve the problem of the crazy growth of these plants."

As Xu Jian spoke, he jumped from the fifteen-meter-high wall.

Wang Xuan didn't know what to say, so he could only jump after him.

After landing in the city, they stepped on the climbing plants and ivy on the ground and walked forward.

Wang Xuan looked around at the buildings covered with plants and found that they were dark, gloomy and uninhabited, and seemed to be uninhabited.

"It looks like no one has lived here for a long time, right?"

Xu Jian said: "Yes, these are abandoned houses. I heard that Xuancheng was still very lively in the past. It was basically full of people. There were not so many plants now, but now the number of people is getting smaller and smaller. Many houses are abandoned, so there are more and more plants. Have you seen those houses that look relatively clean? Basically there are no plants outside, only those are the ones where people live."

Wang Xuan hummed and said, "Chief, can I ask you a question?"

"Ask." Xu Jian responded while leading him forward.

"How long have you been in this world?"

Xu Jian was startled, stopped, and then thought for a moment before saying: "It must have been more than half a year, the specific number of months... I don't know, but it should not be more than a year, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just asking." When Wang Xuangang said this, he suddenly felt something and raised his head suddenly, only to see a black shadow appear in the dark sky above.

The black shadow had a pair of huge wings and looked like a big bird. It was hovering above and gradually approaching downwards.

"Hide here." Xu Jian also saw it, and immediately whispered, and with a flash of his body, he stuck to the wall of a house not far away and stood against the wall.

Wang Xuan saw this and followed him, standing close to the wall like him.

"Don't move, lest it attract its attention. We should have climbed over the wall just now and attracted its attention."

Xu Jian lowered his voice and said softly: "It's called the Iron-Winged Demon Owl. It's a very scary strange bird that can easily tear into pieces a powerful person. Even if we encounter it in a super state, we will be in danger. Fortunately, it It is only sensitive to living things in motion, and as long as we stand still, we will not attract its attention."

Listening to Xu Jian whispering, Wang Xuan noticed the sky above. Several iron-winged demon owls had appeared in a short period of time, circling above as if looking for something.

In the Xuancheng below, it was quiet and quiet, almost no one could be seen, and only some faint lights could be seen vaguely.

However, this kind of iron-winged demon owl seemed to be insensitive to light. After hovering for a while, when they found nothing, they slowly flew away and disappeared into the primeval forest.

After waiting for them to disappear, Xu Jian breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Such raptors in the sky are very troublesome, and you will encounter them occasionally. But fortunately, there are many trees here, so it is not difficult to escape them. Gradually you will be able to escape them." Familiar."

Xu Jian speeded up as he spoke, flashing continuously, and soon arrived in front of a building. This building looked quite large, covering a large area, and the surface was relatively clean. You could see lights inside. It was obviously a place that was inhabited.

Wang Xuan followed Xu Jian closely. When he saw him opening the door and walking in, he also followed.

As soon as I saw it, I saw a softer light. These were several large flowers with soft light, inserted in a bottle. These flowers were like lamps, which could shine at night, but the light was not bright. It looked like It was a little dim, and at this night, there was something vaguely strange, and there was also some inexplicable gloominess.
