Chapter 728 Truth and Falsehood (Double Monthly Pass at the End of the Month)
"You mean, there is something strange about the ruins of this city?" Facing the calm and rational Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong could relatively easily interpret what he wanted to express.
Shang Jianyao smiled and said:
"I will just briefly analyze the contradiction between the current situation of this urban ruin and its geographical location."
"Hmm." Jiang Baimian nodded slightly, "Almost seventy years have passed since the destruction of the old world, and undiscovered relics like this must have their own special features: the ruins of Swamp No. 1 are located inside the Everglades, and it is very difficult to find.
"Opposite them are the ruins of Blood Wilderness No. 9, although it is full of dangers, and many places have been forbidden areas for humans until now, but because they are easier to find, they have not been surrounded by any major force, and there are still a large number of relic hunters following one after another, which has caused some of the urban areas there to be almost 'developed'."
The implication of her words is that Taicheng is located in a place where the ice fields are connected in all directions, and the "old tune team" has arrived at the destination without even deviating from the roads left over from the old world, and the "Salvation Army" has not sent troops here to guard it.
If Taicheng is located in an area with semi-permanent frozen soil deep in the ice field, and relic hunters cannot use the short summer to pass through many obstacles and get there, resulting in better preservation of the ruins of the city, then it is understandable.
Bai Chen said after consideration:
"It may be that the ice sheet has a short season suitable for human action, and after so many years, the ruins hunters have not even excavated much of the ruins of cities further south, and they lack enough motivation to continue north."
"That's a reason." After modeling and analysis, Gnawa said, "But the probability is very low, because the further north, the fewer 'heartless people' remaining in the ruins of the city, and the lower the danger level.
Winter is hard, for humans, and for the "mindless" group.
The further north the ice sheet goes, the more serious this situation becomes.
Jiang Baimian nodded, looked at Shang Jianyao and said:
"What do you think?"
In terms of broad thinking, she has always believed that there is a big gap between herself and Shang Jianyao.
She is still in the realm of normal humans.
Shang Jianyao laughed:
"Such a large city ruins are placed here, the surrounding environment is not bad, and there are many ruin hunters who hunt and explore north, why do they turn a blind eye?"
"Turning a blind eye......" Jiang Baimian's heart moved, and he suddenly had a little association.
Shang Jianyao then showed a relieved expression:
"You really remember.
"Namo Azudora Sambodhi, Benefactor, do you still remember the anomaly in Room 302, Building 4, District 2, where the family members of the steel factory ruins worked?"
Hearing this, not only Jiang Baimian, but also Long Yuehong and Bai Chen reacted instantly.
As for Gnawa, because he had not experienced it himself, it took him a while to bring up the relevant information:
At that time, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian saw an ordinary scene of ruins in room 302, and nothing valuable was found, but Long Yuehong, who peeked out the window, saw two corpses lying on the bed, covered with a big red quilt with an auspicious pattern of dragons and phoenixes.
In the end, Shang Jianyao, under Long Yuehong's prompting, touched the little jade Buddha at the intersection of reality and falsehood and brought it out.
This shattered the false scene he and Jiang Baimian had seen before, and the real internal situation of Room 302 was revealed.
This incident is related to the contradictory phenomenon in Taicheng, which makes people naturally have corresponding speculations.
Long Yuehong, who spoke more enthusiastically than before, said considerately:
"We entered the real Tai City, but the relic hunters saw the fake Tai City, where there were no valuable items, or they were in a state that was difficult to discover, lacking the meaning of exploration?"
"We can enter Zhentai City because we bring special items that originate from the Buddhist holy place?" Bai Chen followed and speculated.
While Jiang Baimian nodded slightly, Shang Jianyao smiled and took off his tactical backpack:
"I think so too."
Syllable!
He found the "Six Consciousness Beads" and threw them on the side of the road very casually.
Immediately afterwards, he also picked up the little jade Buddha with green lake water and threw it on the ground, and Jiang Baimian also threw out his "right hand of chaos".
The surrounding scene did not change at all.
"This is a bit embarrassing......" The honest Shang Jianyao mocked himself.
Jiang Baimian looked around and said thoughtfully:
"Maybe it's because we have entered Zhentai City, even if we throw away the corresponding items, there will be no more 'hallucinations'."
On the word "hallucination", she is not so sure, because it is still unclear what the situation is.
"What should I do?" Long Yuehong frowned slightly.
The reckless Shang Jianyao immediately replied:
"Keep going and go to the First Senior High School!"
That is the main body of the Buddhist holy land.
Jiang Baimian glared at him:
"Exit and re-enter, confirm the situation before talking.
"Be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years!"
"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao did not refute his consciousness at all.
In this regard, Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and Gnawa had no objection.
After picking up the items on the ground, several members of the "Old Tune Team" got back into the car and returned along the same way, all the way to the broken zone.
Here, they can no longer see Taicheng.
"Lao Ge, you stay here with the 'Six Consciousness Beads' and the Little Jade Buddha, waiting for news." Jiang Baimian's choice has no doubts.
Gnava was the only person among the team members present who was not affected by props such as the "Six Beads".
This time, Shang Jianyao not only left behind the "Six Consciousness Beads" and the Little Jade Buddha, but also gave the "Angel of Life" necklace and the Heavenly Year Blessing Map to Gnava just to be on the safe side.
"You must take good care of them!" He said sincerely.
The corners of Jiang Baimian's mouth moved slightly, and while handing over the "Chaos Right Hand" to Gnava, he set up the auxiliary chip in the biological prosthesis to let it monitor its own state.
The four of them got back into the car, driven by Bai Chen, and headed towards Taicheng.
On the way, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian both maintained a high degree of concentration, using their own methods to sense the changes around them.
Ten minutes later, the distant scene silenced them at the same time.
Taicheng, which was still "there" before, seemed to have suffered a natural disaster like a landslide and a crack, and had been buried by boulders, soil and cracks, with only some collapsed buildings vaguely revealed.
Surrounding the extremely difficult ruins, there are swamps formed by water flowing and vine, isthmus with no bottom in sight, and dammed lakes that may collapse at any time......
Anyone who sees this scene will not hesitate to give up moving forward and stop trying to explore Taicheng.
There are many ruins of cities on the ice field that are better to obtain materials, there is no need to fight here, the risks and benefits are completely disproportionate!
"Is there really a fake Taiwan City......" After silence, Long Yuehong said in an almost mumbling tone.
He was deeply moved.
Room 302 of the ruins of the steel factory is just a house of several dozen square meters, it is hidden and covered with falsehood, which makes people feel that it is not so exaggerated.
And now, in front of the "Old Tune Group" is a city with millions of people living in the old world, and it has been separated from the real and the false!
Shang Jianyao's expression gradually became excited:
"What will happen if we don't stop and continue to drive towards the isthmus in front of us?"
"Don't look for death." Jiang Baimian stopped this guy concisely.
She took a breath and said:
"Let's try a few more times to see which items can allow us to enter Zhentai City, and then it may be of great use."
"Okay." Bai Chen retracted his gaze with slight difficulty.
Since joining the "Old Tune Group", many of her past common sense has been subverted.
After several rounds of experiments, the "Old Tune Group" is clearly the effect of the "Six Consciousness Beads" and the Little Jade Buddha.
As long as they take any of them, the "Old Tune Team" can enter Zhentai City, provided that they are no more than fifty meters away from these two items.
"It's really magical......" Long Yuehong used this sentence as the ending words of today's attempt.
At this time, five members of the "Old Tune Team" were sitting in a jeep, slowly moving along the car-free street in Zhentai City.
Gnawa's eyes flashed with red light and looked at Jiang Baimian:
"Where are we going next?"
Jiang Baimian has already had a manuscript:
"Find a city map nearby.
"Then go to Harbor Home, First Senior High School and Renhui Hospital in turn."
She is sorting them according to the degree of danger - Harbor Home is the place where Fan Wensi and Li Jinlong once rented, and there must be the least secrets, while the First Senior High School is clearly a Buddhist holy place, and Renhui Hospital involves those vegetative volunteers, which is the most risky place.
