After arriving in Dongdu, He Ao and other selected special researchers will take the institute's special plane to Liu Zhengyun's private island.
After collecting basic equipment and supplies on that island, go to the passage to the ruins.
Since the oil field where the ruins passage was discovered is in the middle of the ocean and far away from the coastline of China, the flight this time took a long time.
It takes nearly nine hours.
After sending He Ao to the boarding gate, Lao Zhang smiled and patted He Ao's arm, "You have to come back alive."
He Ao opened his mouth.
The last time he heard this sentence, it was from Roger's mouth. At that time, his identity was Ridgette.
Hmm... Rigit probably didn't survive.
This sentence sounds like some serious flag.
But in the end, He Ao didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, and walked to the institute's special plane wearing his unopened vegetable paper bag.
The flight attendant was not surprised at all by the paper bag on He Ao's head. After asking for He Ao's code name, he enthusiastically and gracefully guided He Ao to his cabin.
The reason why it is described as a cockpit is because this seat is much longer than the ordinary position. It is like a long sofa, where you can sit or lie down. The outer layer of the sofa is surrounded by an oval arc.
Surrounded by metal partitions.
It looks quite beautiful.
He Ao sat in and found a small door next to it that could be closed to isolate the entire space from the outside world.
He turned on his super memory and checked to make sure there was no camera inside, then removed the unopened vegetable paper bag and locked the partition door.
On the left side of the metal partition next to the window is a small LCD TV. Below the LCD TV is a cabinet with several books in it.
When he first came in, the flight attendant had already told him that these books were information about the ruins.
The PA on the plane began to play safety announcements and reminded passengers to take a break during the nine hours on the plane to recharge their batteries. There may not be any rest time after arriving at the destination.
He Ao reached out and took down the books on the small cabinet and flipped through them. The contents were similar to what Zhang Anxia said, and even what Zhang Anxia said was more detailed.
For example, it only mentioned that there is a limit to the number of people who can enter the ruins at a time, but Zhang Anxia told him that the number of people who can enter the ruins is gradually increasing.
It is also very simple to test the number of people who can enter the ruins. Walk to the location of the ruins passage and there will be as many places as there are people who hear the 'call' in their hearts.
According to Zhang Anxia, the sound of this call will become stronger and stronger, and those who hear the call can vaguely detect the time when the ruins are opened.
Entering the ruins is a matter of seconds, so you can only wait in advance. If you miss it, you will miss it.
Inside the ruins, it is mainly divided into three areas, namely the ruined city, the underground palace, and the wilderness.
Most of the areas inside the ruins may be ruined cities, but this speculation is based on the premise that everyone who enters is randomly teleported every time.
Because every time people enter the ruins, most of them end up in the ruined city.
Of course, ruined cities only refer to old cities that have become ruins. Different cities have different styles and regions.
Between the ruined cities, there are scattered wilderness areas.
Wilderness is a name relative to the city, and the environment inside is also different. Currently, only the research institute has proven that there are completely different areas such as forests, grasslands, mountains, snowfields, lakes, and deserts.
The underground palace is in another state. The underground palace is more like an underground shelter, and you cannot see any sky.
Only from the rocks exposed by the cracked metal walls in some areas, it can be roughly determined that this area is underground.
The topographic structure inside the underground palace is very complex, and there are various twisted creatures. It is the most dangerous area among the three areas. No one has yet found a way to leave the underground palace and rise to the ground.
According to the experience summarized by the institute, the concentration of extraordinary power in the ruins is much higher than that in the main world, and it is easier to awaken and obtain extraordinary power in it.
Moreover, some extraordinary beings can also obtain certain opportunities and enter higher levels.
However, the principle of promotion has not yet been clarified. The advice given by the institute is not to eat anything in the ruins unless necessary. If there are suspicious items, you can bring them out first and let the institute study them first.
Many of the sealed artifacts in the current institute were brought out of the ruins by researchers who entered the ruins.
The items brought out by specially appointed researchers can be kept by themselves, but they must ensure that they will not cause pollution. If they want to be sold, the institute has the right of first refusal, and the institute will generally give an appropriate market price.
The items brought out from the ruins by formal researchers belong to the institute. The institute will be responsible for all sealing costs of these items, and then return a certain amount of points to the researcher based on the value of these items.
This kind of points can be used to redeem the right to use certain sealed objects from the institute, or apply to the institute for some sealed objects that can be used for a long time and are suitable for you.
These contents are all what Lao Zhang once said, and they are also included in the books on the plane.
However, there are also some contents in these books that Lao Zhang did not mention.
For example, the illustrated book of extraordinary creatures inside the ruins, Lao Zhang only mentioned these things, but because it was difficult to describe them, he did not expand on them in detail.
The Extraordinary Creatures Illustrated Book mainly contains some extraordinary creatures that are relatively common in ruins. He Ao browsed through it and found that some creatures are quite interesting.
For example, there is a giant lizard named "Grey Lizard". It is a monster with sharp teeth and a long tongue. The illustrations describe it as very powerful and resilient, but it has a low IQ and can destroy the brain on its head or explode.
Dropping its neck can kill it.
It is rated E-rated.
This kind of lizard is somewhat similar to the one He Ao saw before, the strange beast raised by the mayor of Chenxi City, but it looks much weaker than that strange beast.
In addition to animals, many plants in the ruins also have strange abilities.
For example, there is a kind of white flower called "Sleep Flower". They often bloom in clusters throughout the entire area. If you accidentally stray into their sea of flowers, all your emotions will gradually calm down and eventually fall into the sea of flowers and become a flower.
The nourishment for these flowers.
Sleeping flower is also rated E grade.
Most of the illustrated books are E-level or F-level extraordinary creatures, which should be limited by the strength of the people who entered the ruins before.
After all, the people who can bring back the information are all living people. If they encounter a D-level, or even a higher-than-D-level alien beast or strange plant, they will not be able to bring back the information about those monsters.
He Ao flipped through it and found that there was only one D-level beast, and that was an 'orangutan' who sold items, named 'Businessman Orangutan'.
It already has a certain amount of intelligence and can communicate with people through gestures. Explorers who encounter it can exchange it with weapons on its body or extraordinary items obtained from other places.
And it must be of high value and low in exchange value. If you don't exchange it with him, or want to exchange it with equal value, it will threaten to kill you.
Of course, if you exchange it with it, it will leave.
Then he will come back after a while and continue the exchange with you.
The illustrated book notes here that the interval between going and coming back is not necessarily certain, it mainly depends on when the explorer gets the good stuff. Once the explorer finds the good stuff, it will suddenly appear and take advantage of it.
······
Very reasonable and very profiteer.
He Ao continued to scroll down, and at the back were illustrations of some intelligent robots.
It contains some robots and humanoid robots of different shapes. It can be seen that some humanoid robots once had bionic skins, but they have completely fallen off over time.
These robots will move according to a certain set trajectory. As long as you don't touch them, nothing will happen. However, if you accidentally touch or attack them, you may be attacked by all nearby robots.
Moreover, it seems that these robots cannot leave the ruins, and neither can their chips. The institute has tried to take these things out for research several times, but has failed.
He Ao activated his super memory and memorized all these books.
Then he picked up his phone again and looked for magic that suited his current situation.
There are several large-scale magic tricks that he is quite interested in, but the prerequisite for achieving miraculous magic is that he must learn the magic trick himself and be able to perform it completely to deceive the audience.
However, these large-scale magic tricks basically require professional magic equipment.
And many magic tricks have not been decrypted. After all, the secrets of magic are what magicians rely on for their livelihood, and many magicians are unwilling to reveal them. Moreover, time is tight now, and it is difficult for He Ao to find professional magic equipment.
He began to retreat to the next best thing and began to think about whether he could achieve some 'miraculous' effects through some simple and easy-to-perform street magic.
Bang bang bang——
At this time, there was a gentle knock on his partition door.
He Ao thought for a moment, took his unsealed vegetable paper bag, and opened the compartment door.
What caught his eye was a short-haired girl with dark skin, a slightly open mouth, wearing a husky half-face mask, and two cute little tiger teeth.
When she saw He Ao opening the door, she chuckled and said, "Well, my code name is Publicist. I'm from Dongdu. I'm right across from you."
She turned sideways and let He Ao look behind her.
The layout of this special plane is that there are cabins on the left and right, with a narrow corridor in the middle.
He Ao cast his gaze over and could just see the open door and empty cockpit opposite.
"Well," seeing her identity confirmed, the dark-skinned girl chuckled softly, "I can't sleep alone."
He Ao took a look at his cockpit, and it didn't look like it could sleep two people. He reached out and clasped the door, preparing to close it.
"No, you misunderstood," the commentator waved his hand quickly, "I woke up at nine o'clock this morning, and it's just afternoon now. I can't sleep. You see, we happen to be sitting across from each other. How about we chat?"
?
He Ao has always been an honest child who is not good at words. He could not cope with this kind of scene. He said softly,
"Read a book."
Then he closed the door with a brush and locked it from the inside.
"Hey, hey," the commentator obviously didn't expect this scene. She patted the door, "Let's chat for a while. I'm so bored. We can chat in a low voice without disturbing others."
He Ao ignored her and continued to study his magic.
The commentator knocked on the door a few times and found that he got no response, so he sighed, as if he was hesitating whether to knock on other people's doors.
But before she could make up her mind, the flight attendant was attracted to her. He Ao heard the flight attendant whispering to her to go back and not to disturb others' rest.
And she tried... to let the flight attendant chat with her for half an hour.
