The Last Gentleman
Chapter 169: the other side of the channel
Chapter 169 The other side of the channel
Deep in the temple, a bonfire burns.
The bonfires here are not used firewood, but pieces of armor that can be used for special burning.
The armor pieces are supplied by the watcher without limit. His special flesh can grow such armor pieces continuously. The bonfire can burn in the depths of the gray area, which will have a good effect on suppressing other sick people and passage guards. .
Everyone was asked to sit around the bonfire. They thought they would conduct a series of tests before entering the passage.
Who knows that there is no so-called test at all, or that Yi Chen and others passed the test when they stepped into the temple and avoided the black halberd.
Sitting in front of a campfire just talking casually.
This watcher wearing a human-faced iron helmet looks solemn, but actually likes to chat with the newcomers like Yi Chen.
They asked about Zion's current situation to their respective assessments of becoming gentlemen and entering the city, and occasionally a mature and slightly silly laughter could be heard from under the iron helmet.
During small talk,
Everyone watched the monitor's body grow five armor pieces of different specifications one after another, and he directly threw them into the bonfire.
During the chat, the monitor also took the initiative to inform him of some information about himself.
【Black Heavy Halberd - Allman Youde】
One of the early executioners of the organization, one of the black knights (the title has now been abandoned), is an important combat force of the organization. Later, he transformed into a monitor, his connection with the organization weakened, and he was no longer responsible for the killing work.
The cast iron helmet he wore and the black halberd in his hand were the equipment specially customized by the organization as a black knight at that time.
He was born in a family of knights and met the modification authority of "Gentleman's Skin". His original costume design was a dark and heavy black armor.
Later, as the skin content increased, when it reached 50%, the armor actually merged with the body.
Even if you don't seem to be wearing clothes, the actual body can achieve the defense effect of armor... and it can also grow full protective armor in some key battles, doubling the defense.
As he became familiar with the armor, he found more and more ways to use it.
For example, a 'suppressed bonfire' that will be formed by burning armor,
Another example is that when Orman came to the [passage], he directly separated a large number of armor pieces, forming a deep-helmeted warhorse under his crotch, weighing several tons. It was crushed into powder under the swing.
A gentleman of pure physique,
Now that he is eighty years old, he ignores the shackles of age due to the breakthrough of the limit, and becomes stronger every year.
During the chat, Yi Chen could clearly feel Allman's 'loneliness'.
Because he has been alone for a long time, there is basically no chance to communicate with others. Currently, he encounters three young people who are not weaker than him in terms of talent.
"Mr. Allman, can't you go back to Zion?" Yi Chen suddenly threw a key question.
The man under the cast iron mask was silent for a moment and then replied:
"Once I stop running and settle down in a temporary comfortable place, the seeds of [lazy] will be planted in my heart.
The world is sick, and places like Zion will still be engulfed by the Greyfields sooner or later.
If you want to truly continue human civilization, you must cultivate enough human beings who can live normally in the gray area before that. Even if the body is already inclined to the sick, it doesn’t matter as long as it can maintain human nature.
If I give up my watchdog duties due to laziness, the rate of talent cultivation will be reduced, and you will not meet me here today. "
Yi Chen, who heard this, and Reagan next to him also got up and saluted.
"The three of you are quite good. You can maintain absolute composure in front of my black halberd. If you are not overwhelmed, it means that you are qualified to go to the other side.
Come on, go to see the [Channel] first, and then talk to you about the specific rules. "
Lighted the kerosene lamp around his waist and followed Mr. Allman all the way to the deepest part of the temple. A very ordinary-looking stone wall stood in front of everyone.
Yi Chen, who combined vision with Little Grape, quickly saw the difference,
"is it here?"
Yi Chen pointed to a stone brick in the upper right corner of the wall.
"Can you tell it at a glance? Has the [Concentration Eye Syndrome] that affected you along the way been absorbed by you?"
Yi Chen scratched the back of his head, "That's right."
Snapped!
Allman directly used his exaggerated giant hand to forcibly deduct the stone,
From a geometric point of view, the back of this stone corresponds to the outside of the temple.
But as the stones were taken out, a bottomless horizontal passage was revealed... Even Yi Chen stared deeply and could not see the end.
The size of the passage is just enough to fit a person, and he can only crawl.
"You will be the first 'outsiders' to enter this passage,
Since the passage has just been formed for less than a month and only touched the surface of the old world, the probability of you being discovered is very low... As long as you don't deliberately die, you can basically come back alive.
I believe that your teachers or instructors in Zion have taught you the rules, so I will mention them here.
Since the 'time' of the old world has been sealed, it is difficult for individuals to judge the passage of time through their own senses, nor can they refer to any natural phenomenon.
Therefore, you need to take 'time' with you. "
Allman took out the special hourglass that he had prepared in advance, and the sand in it was the gray sand that was collected on the spot.
This hourglass is small in size, it will hardly be damaged when it is installed in the backpack, and once the timer starts, no matter how it is turned over, it will not affect it.
"[One day] This is the maximum time your newcomers can be active in the old world.
Once the time is over, your exposure risk will increase exponentially, and your mind and body will be more susceptible to disease... If you return as a sick person, I may execute you on the spot.
Finally, I would like to remind you not to be too greedy.
Don't think about how precious and rare relics you want to get, no matter whether you get something or not, you must calculate the time and route of departure in advance.
You are still young, and you will still have the opportunity to execute the [Relic Event] in the future. "
"Go."
"See you in a day!"
In the same order, Yi Chen climbed first, Jin was in the middle, and Reagan was the rear.
Reagan's fat figure was not easy to squeeze into the relatively narrow passage,
Everyone clearly felt that they hadn't been crawling between the passages for a long time, but they could no longer see the exit behind them, and could not sense the pressure of the monitor, as if they were disconnected from the original world.
Lorian's voice came from within:
『You were allowed to enter the tunnel so easily, I thought the human monitors would conduct fairly strict inspections. Hurry up, I can't wait to see the origin of the disease. 』
Because there is no danger between the passages, the team slowly accelerated the crawling speed.
I don't know how long it took, and finally reached the end of the passage.
It is very strange that the exit is actually blocked by a square stone similar to a temple, stretch out your hand and push it...crack! Stones fell heavily to the ground.
The area where drilled out of the passage is still a stone temple, and even the size of the space and the specifications of the stone pillars are exactly the same.
It’s just that there are no watchers here, and no bonfires blazing.
The moment climbed out of the passage, the kerosene lamp hanging on his waist went out and could not burn.
The gentleman's clothing worn on the body creates a "leather mask" that can breathe normally for everyone by erecting the collar and interweaving silk threads.
Both Yi Chen and Jin can detect the restlessness of the clothing, the "Gentleman's Skin" contained in the interior is slowly being consumed, and the skin content is slowly decreasing.
This is why the watchers repeatedly emphasize that the newcomer's activity time in the old world is limited to one day.
If it is overtime, clothing with low leather content like gold will be consumed by more than half, the protective effect will be greatly weakened, the probability of being infected will be greatly increased, and survival will not be guaranteed.
Of course, a newcomer like Yi Chen with a high skin content may take a little longer.
The hourglass turns on, the countdown starts,
stepped out of the temple, and the sight in front of them made the three stop at the same time, staring at the sky with wide eyes.
The vast sky is not obstructed by any vision, no clouds, no moving living things, like a gray curtain full of dead silence.
A dark 'sun' hangs in the center of the world,
And this round of the dark sun was penetrated by an extraordinary sword, and the blade was even further inserted into the ground, as if the world was blocked and killed.
