Chapter 22 Running Map
The bloody moonlight gave Zhao Cheng an extremely bad feeling, it was eerie, strange, and creepy.
The negative emotions it brings to people are even worse than darkness.
And as Zhao Cheng looked at the blood moon hanging on the horizon, an entry popped up where the moon was in his eyes.
Blood Moon: A moon lit by strange power. The effect is temporarily unknown. (Note: The essence of the superdimensional body understands all things. Its effect is determined by the upper limit of the superdimensional body and the lower limit by the strength of self-thinking)
Zhao Cheng suddenly understood that this ability, which was similar to the detection technique in the game, was a passive function of the extradimensional body. The higher the intensity of his thinking, the more powerful this ability would be.
Although his current body is in human form, it is not essentially a human being, but an extra-dimensional projection of a human form.
The human body can only see the most superficial information of the world, but the super-dimensional body is born to be able to see the essence of all things. This is something like instinct. In a sense, all things in the world are in the super-dimensional world.
The "eyes" of the body are just streams of information.
It's just that Zhao Cheng's thinking intensity is limited, which limits this instinct.
"Strange power!"
Zhao Cheng murmured to himself, but he did not think that this kind of power was a positive force. It was doing good things to others, burning himself, and lighting up the world.
And with the appearance of this blood moon, Zhao Cheng can be 100% sure that the dungeon introduction given on the previous panel is definitely missing a piece of the most critical information.
The blood-colored moonlight is the only light source between heaven and earth. Its light is like a thin veil, evenly sprinkled on all kinds of things, making everything covered with a layer of blood.
The world is very quiet, with only a faint sound of wind. In this situation, even though Zhao Cheng is running his breathing method all the time to calm his mind, waves of horror still well up in his heart.
If a person's rationality were digitized, his current situation would be almost like a constant sanity-1, sanity-1.
Through the faint moonlight, Zhao Cheng looked around and found that he was in the corner of a huge square.
The square is gray, but it is not because of the use of gray materials, but because no one has been here for an unknown amount of time, causing a thick layer of ashes to accumulate on the ground.
In the center of the square is a huge sculpture, but at this moment, under the power of time, the shape of the sculpture has long been blurred. It can only be seen at a glance that the sculpture is a man who stands tall and upright.
Even if the face has been blurred and the lines have decayed, you can still feel the straightness from the remaining lines.
"Great...fuck...hand"
There was a huge flat surface at the base of the statue. Zhao Cheng could vaguely see the words on it through the faint moonlight.
It was a strange font, but Zhao Cheng had never seen it before, but it was easy to read.
"A great man in this world?!"
Zhao Cheng thought.
"I don't know what kind of achievements it takes to have such a statue."
"There are great people who can build such a huge square and such a huge sculpture, which shows that the level of civilization in this world is not low."
"It's just, what happened to make people in this world just abandon this city?!"
Zhao Cheng raised his eyes and looked around. There were many tall buildings around the square. Because the light was too dark, even with his eyesight, his vision was extremely blurry.
Seen from a distance, the tall buildings look like monsters with teeth and claws.
"God damn it, this is the first thing that must be eliminated in the event of a nuclear war at the end of the twentieth century."
Zhao Cheng thought about the copy introduction and had nothing to say.
From the dust accumulated in the square, Zhao Cheng could tell that this city had been abandoned for a long time, at least in years.
Thinking in his mind, Zhao Cheng squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, and kneaded it in his hands.
"The dust has formed into clods of soil, and the humidity is not low. But with such soil quality, not even a single plant grows in such a large area."
Zhao Cheng had an idea in his mind.
Things like vegetation have extremely strong vitality. Not to mention the "fertile soil" in front of us, even the cracks in the cement wall can survive tenaciously as long as there is a little moisture, a little soil, weeds and saplings.
"Wherever the blood moon passes, not a blade of grass grows?!"
"It can't be the nuclear war at the end of the 20th century. They used nuclear bombs to blow up the sun, and then the sun's nuclear radiation changed the moon..."
If Zhao Cheng hadn't known how the sun reacts, he would have almost believed this joke.
Zhao Cheng told himself a joke in his mind, and Zhao Cheng felt slightly relieved, and then started running pictures.
The world has changed, and Zhao Cheng no longer measures the world based on realistic common sense.
He directly designated the place where the moon rises as the east. With the direction, the route would be easy to plan.
As a "newbie" who has just entered the industry, the ultimate goal of saving the world is too far away.
He is very self-aware, so he first sets a small goal for himself, to find out the situation in this city, and along the way, explore what happened in this world in the past.
According to the settings of the panel, the operating logic inside will be biased in a direction that is beneficial to you.
In this case, since the place where you landed in the simulation is here, then this city is definitely conducive to your development, similar to the "Novice Village" in the game.
Based on Zhao Cheng's many years of experience in single-player RPGs, when you don't know what to do, run away more often, and then you will find that you have clues, characters, partners, and everything else.
In the game, you just need to move your fingers to run the map, but in reality, it is not easy.
Especially when the style of this realistic RPG game is more "underworld".
I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm just afraid of meeting "love" around the corner.
It's not that I cherish my life, but compared to a "life", the trauma of the soul is more difficult to heal.
However, Zhao Cheng ran a long distance. Although there was no timer, Zhao Cheng felt that he had an hour.
He was not running, but walking briskly, so that he could maintain his strength to deal with emergencies.
Based on his foot strength, he could walk briskly for about seven kilometers in an hour.
But for such a long distance, there was no unexpected plot as Zhao Cheng had guessed.
No corner kills, no damsels in distress being mauled by goblins, nothing.
Of course, Zhao Cheng did not find nothing. Through observation, he discovered that this city had been abandoned for much longer than he had previously expected.
Time has passed so long that much of the steel has rotted away. Some of the street lamps, street signs, and store signs in the city have left little traces, and some have even lost their traces.
