Chapter 178 True and False
"You mean, is there something weird about the ruins of this city?" Faced with the calm and rational Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong could easily interpret what he wanted to express.
Shang Jianyao smiled and said:
"I just briefly analyze the contradiction between the current situation of this city ruin and its geographical location."
"Well." Jiang Baimian nodded gently, "It has been almost seventy years since the destruction of the old world. Unexcavated ruins like this must have their own special features: the ruins of Swamp No. 1 are located inside the swamp, and it is very difficult to find them. The ruins of Swamp No. 13 were taken care of by the "First City" and no one is allowed to enter.
"The opposite of them is the Blood-colored Wilderness No. 9 ruins. Although there are many dangers inside, many places are forbidden zones for humans until now. However, because it is easier to find and has not been surrounded by any major force, there are still a large number of ruins hunters who have followed each other, which has led to some urban areas there being almost 'developed'."
What she implies is that Taicheng is located in a well-connected place in the ice field. The "old commissioning team" has arrived at the destination without even deviating from the roads left over from the old world. The "Salvation Army" did not send troops here to take care of it. The current situation is indeed worth pondering, and there must be something strange.
If Taicheng is located in an area with semi-permanent permafrost deep in the ice field, and the remains hunters cannot use the short summer to pass through numerous obstacles and arrive there, resulting in better preservation of urban ruins, it is understandable. Now, from any perspective, it is contrary to common sense.
Bai Chen said carefully:
"Maybe the season for ice sheets is shorter for human action. After so many years, the ruins hunters have not even discovered much of the ruins of the city that are further south, and lack the motivation to continue to move north."
"This is a reason," Gnava modeling and analysis said, "but the probability is very low, because the more northward, the fewer the 'unintentional's' remaining in the ruins of the city will definitely be, and the degree of danger is relatively low. After comprehensive calculations, it takes a little time to explore northward, and the benefits are higher and the risks are easier to grasp."
The winter is hard to bear, this is true for humans, and for the "unintentional" group.
The northward the ice field, the more serious this situation is.
Jiang Baimian nodded, looked at Shang Jianyao and said:
"What do you think?"
In terms of broad ideas, she always believed that there was a big gap between herself and Shang Jianyao.
She is still in the category of normal human beings.
Shang Jianyao laughed:
"The ruins of such a large city are placed here, and the surrounding environment is not harsh. There are many ruins hunters who hunt and explore north. Why do they turn a blind eye?"
"Looking at it..." Jiang Baimian's heart moved and suddenly had a little association.
Shang Jianyao then showed a gratified expression:
“You remembered it, indeed.
"Namo Aphrodor Samyaksambodhi, donor, do you remember the abnormality in Room 302, Building 4, Area 2, Family Residents of the Steel Factory?"
Hearing this sentence, not only Jiang Baimian, but also Long Yuehong and Bai Chen reacted instantly.
Gnava, because she hadn't experienced it personally, took a little time to retrieve relevant information:
At that time, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian saw ordinary ruins in Room 302, and they did not find anything valuable. However, Long Yuehong, who was peeping out of the window, saw two corpses lying on the bed, covered with big red quilts embroidered with dragon and phoenix auspicious patterns.
In the end, Shang Jianyao touched the little jade Buddha at the intersection of reality and falsehood at the prompt of Long Yuehong and lifted it out.
This caused the false scenes he and Jiang Baimian to see before to break down, and the real internal situation of Room 302 was revealed.
This matter is associated with Taicheng's contradictory phenomenon, which naturally makes people have corresponding guesses.
Long Yuehong, who spoke more enthusiastically than before, said carefully:
"We entered Zhentai City, and the ruins hunters saw the fake Tai City, where there were no valuable items, or they were in a difficult state of discovery, lacking the meaning of exploration?"
"Is we able to enter Zhentai City because we bring special items from the Buddhist holy land?" Bai Chen then made a speculation.
While Jiang Baimian nodded slightly, Shang Jianyao took off his tactical backpack with a smile:
"I think so too."
Bang!
He found the "Six Conscious Beads" and threw them to the roadside very casually.
Immediately afterwards, he lifted the little jade Buddha, who was green in the lake, and threw it on the ground. Jiang Baimian also threw out his "chaotic right hand".
The surrounding scene has not changed at all.
"This is a bit embarrassing..." The honest Shang Jianyao mocked him.
Jiang Baimian looked around and said thoughtfully:
"Maybe because we have entered Zhentai City, even if we throw away the corresponding items, we will not have any 'illusions'."
She was not so sure about the word "illusion", because she still couldn't figure out what the situation was.
"What should I do?" Long Yuehong frowned slightly.
The reckless Shang Jianyao immediately answered:
"Continue to move forward and go to First High School!"
There is the essence of the Buddhist holy land.
Jiang Baimian glared at him:
"Exit and go back and make sure the situation is correct.
"Be careful to sail the ten thousand-year-old ship!"
"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao did not have Jiang Baimian's consciousness at all.
Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and Gnava had no objection to this.
After picking up the items on the ground, several members of the "old transfer team" got back on the car and returned along the original road, all the way to the front of the fault zone.
Here, they can no longer see Taicheng.
"Lao Ge, you are holding the 'Six-Sense Beads', the little jade Buddha stays here, waiting for news." Jiang Baimian's choice had no doubts.
Gnava is the only person present to the team members who are not affected by props such as "Six Conscious Beads".
This time, Shang Jianyao not only left behind the "Six Conscious Beads" and the Little Jade Buddha, but also gave the "Engel of Life" necklace and the picture of the Heavenly Protective Years to Gnava.
"You must take good care of them!" he reminded sincerely.
Jiang Baimian moved the corner of his mouth slightly, and while handing over the "chaotic right hand" to Gnava, he set up an auxiliary chip in the biological prosthesis to let it monitor its own status.
The four of them got back on the bus, drove by Bai Chen, and headed towards Taicheng.
On the way, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian maintained a high degree of concentration and used their own methods to sense the changes around them.
More than ten minutes later, the scene in the distance made them silent at the same time.
Taicheng, which was still in the past, seemed to have encountered natural disasters like landslides and cracks. It has been buried by huge rocks, soil and cracks, and only some collapsed buildings are vaguely exposed.
Around the ruins that were extremely difficult to excavate, there were swamps formed by water flowing, there were invisible isthmus at the bottom, and there were dams that could collapse at any time...
Anyone who sees this scene will give up moving forward without hesitation and no longer tries to explore Taicheng.
There are many cities with better access to materials on the ice field, so there is no need to fight hard here, the risks and benefits are completely disproportionate!
"There is really a fake Taicheng..." After silence, Long Yuehong said in a nearly murmur tone.
He was deeply shocked.
Room 302 of the Iron and Steel Factory Ruins is just a house of dozens of square meters. It is hidden in reality and covered in falsehood, which makes people feel that it is not that exaggerated.
Now, what is in front of the "old tune group" is a city with millions of people living in the old world, and it is actually separated from the real and the false!
Shang Jianyao's expression gradually became excited:
"What would happen if we didn't stop and continued to drive towards the isthmus ahead?"
"Don't seek death." Jiang Baimian stopped this guy in a concise manner.
She took a breath and said:
"Let's try a few more times to confirm which items can allow us to enter Zhentai City. Maybe it will be of great use after that."
"Okay." Bai Chen withdrew his gaze with a little difficulty.
Since joining the "old tuner group", many common sense of her past has been subverted.
After several rounds of experiments, the "old tune group" clearly stated that it was the role of the "Six Conscious Beads" and the Little Jade Buddha.
Just bring any of them, the "old tuner team" can enter Zhentai City, provided that they are no more than fifty meters away from these two items.
"It's really amazing..." Long Yuehong ended with this sentence today's attempt.
At this time, five members of the "Old Transfer Group" were sitting on the jeep and slowly moving along the car-free street in Zhentai City.
Gnava looked at Jiang Baimian with red eyes:
“Where will we go next?”
Jiang Baimian has a long history of having a curse:
"First find a city map nearby.
"Then go to Harbor Home, First High School and In Hui Hospital in turn."
She sorted this by the level of danger - Harbor Home is Fan Wensi, where Li Jinlong and his wife once rented must have the least secrets, while the First High School is clearly a Buddhist holy land, while Renhui Hospital involves those vegetative volunteers, which are the most risky places.
