Chapter 1333: Chapter 1331: The World Chapter 1333: Chapter 1331: The World Zzzt! Zzzt! Zzzt!
Han Dong was the first to leave the city.
Deliberately not deploying any protective asures, his body directly experienced the harshness of the external environnt.
The mont the radiant light touched his skin, steam rose.
As the skin vaporized, a multitude of pores erged on the flesh’s surface, cells were rapidly destroyed by the impact of so cosmic particles, and tissues imdiately morphed into a necrotic structure.
“What!”
Frightened, Han Dong donned the Bird Beak Doctor’s coat and opened the Black Umbrella at the sa ti.
The “Black Umbrella” given by Father Lysos also possessed strong adaptability.
As he opened the Black Umbrella, it not only enveloped Han Dong.
The shadows that fell also ford a unified black mbrane on Bloodhound’s body according to the Count’s physique… turning the bright red Bloodhound completely black.
Essentially, it was a shroud of shadow that didn’t interfere with the Bloodhound’s movents.
The rest of the team was also enjoying the protection of the Black Umbrella.
Feeling the comfortable sanctuary of darkness, Green comnted: “Worthy of the Priest… if you ask , he’s got a good chance of seizing the throne within ten years.”
“The Priest is indeed very powerful.
And judging by our natural mother’s transfer of command during the ga, there’s a hint that she’s contemplating handing London over to the Priest.”
With this idle conversation at an end, the entire team left the city.
The mounts progressed at a slow pace.
Including Green, who never cared much for anything, he now observed the apocalyptic wasteland before him with seriousness.
“A half-tal world?”
As the group trekked, the ground was littered with tal specks of various sizes,
and amidst the ravaging sandstorms, one could see the sparkling tallic fragnts with the naked eye,
a planetary magnetic field a hundred tis stronger than Earth’s was affecting the environnt here, with the tallic sand moving in regular patterns, causing extrely low visibility and interference with sensory fields.
Han Dong’s perception was limited to about 30% of its usual capacity.
Green murmured, “So this is the world that’s about to be destroyed? Horrifying indeed!
It’s rumored that when the [World Catastrophe] occurred, our world had several regions like this, devoid of any life that could survive long term.
Nicholas, with the surroundings looking the sa in all directions, how do we determine the direction of our investigation?”
“Our understanding of this place is a blank slate.
Let’s start by moving in one direction, and along the way, if we co across anything odd, we’ll check it out. If any of you sense sothing, we can change our course accordingly.
Everyone, follow closely and do not act alone.
The planet’s magnetic field is strong, and without any reference points, getting separated will be troubleso.”
“I have a way to ensure we’ll never get lost, no matter what.”
Miss Helen’s voice ca from behind, as she passed a ‘seed’ to everyone through the plants.
“This item belongs to my ‘Origin Things’, it’s harmless to all of you. Just swallow it, and it will establish a permanent ‘Consciousness Connection’ until the individual dies or the object is removed.”
“Nice item~” Without hesitation, Green swallowed it in one gulp.
After a brief examination, Dumps did the sa.
Although Han Dong was aware that the seed was harmless to him, he hesitated to swallow it… In Han Dong’s eyes, it was a seed-sized living Skeleton Head, its jaw clacking eerily.
“Mr. Nicholas, is there a problem?” asked Helen.
“No, it’s just that my teeth haven’t been great lately… I find it hard to take crunchy stuff, give a mont.”
Han Dong forcefully swallowed sothing as soon as he closed his eyes.
At the sa ti, a “Dream Network” was imdiately ford, its stability dozens of tis more stable than individual consciousness connections.
“What a great thing indeed… Miss Helen is truly an expert in this area, okay! Everyone, follow closely.”
The Demon Eye opened.
The pupils transford into a vortex shape.
A black whirlwind shot out from the pupils, akin to a searchlight.
The area covered by the whirlwind was completely unaffected by the magnetic field and the sandstorm, and in combination with the area effect and olfactory feedback provided by the Count, Han Dong was able to maintain a ‘straight line’ trajectory for his team without any point of reference.
The mount’s slow pace gradually turned into a sprint.
Along the way, there was nothing; no signs of living creatures, nor any changes in the environnt.
At about fifty kiloters, the situation changed dramatically.
The raging storm and intense magnetic fields rapidly diminished… and even completely disappeared, as if everyone had passed through so layer of a Barrier, entering the true “Lost World.”
It seems
that the transported London City was rely enveloped within a fifty-kiloter radius of a magnetic Barrier.
The view widened.
A diverse world unfolded before their eyes.
A stratified terrain structure divided the world into two parts: [Above] and [Below].
The ground could be regarded as the ‘middle layer’.
[Above]: That is to say, above the ground, similar to the region where life on Earth is active.
tal plants: These plants contain over 60% tal, their survival thods, and biological functions are as yet unknown, the only thing known is that they can survive normally without the protection of an atmosphere, under the intense direct light from five constant stars.
Geotric rocks: Standard geotric-shaped rocks (also containing very high tal content) can be seen everywhere. So lay individually scattered about, so cluster together randomly like a large scrapyard,
and so large geotric rocks are piled up together to form very unique shapes that can be described as [Wonders].
Magnetic Flow Mountain: In addition to the small hills made up of piles of rocks, there is also a chain of mountains made up of magnetically flowing substances.
Affected by the underground magnetic fields, their shapes change periodically,
sotis gathering into towering tal spirals,
sotis appearing as Black Mountains covered with spikes,
and sotis even floating in the sky, forming a giant spherical body.
[Below]: Similar to the ‘cracks’ ford by earthquakes, which are widespread on the ground.
From where Han Dong and his team were, ‘three’ kiloters-long cracks could be seen at a glance.
But beneath these cracks was not an Abyss, but an underground world that had undergone biological modification.
When Han Dong rode the Bloodhound closer to a crack and looked down through the crevice,
he was stunned by the subterranean scene that t his eyes.
“A highway?”
About a hundred ters below ground, there was a road that resembled the [structural layout of a highway] in human society, and even a ‘tal road sign’ beside it.
As his eyes swept across other areas and more exaggerated images ca into view, an image of a society with a wasteland style was rapidly being constructed in Han Dong’s mind.
“Hm? Life detection? Native life… or is it Outsiders who accepted the mission from the Black Tower, coming to participate in the ga of London?”
When the Demon Eye scanned over the trash heap beside the highway, it unexpectedly captured a slight sense of vitality.
Han Dong imdiately hurried everyone to the crack, ready to head down to the underground world to explore.
