They were about to reach the finish line. Naturally, it was impossible for everyone to watch their teammates being poisoned and die at this distance. Each one used their last strength to carry the poisoned teammates and ran towards the teleportation array of the Rainbow Bridge. Then.
As the teleportation array flashed with rainbow light, everyone disappeared into the poison-filled Vanaheim.
And as their figures disappeared, when they appeared again, they had already arrived in the ruins of a battlefield that had lasted for thousands of years.
It was just different from every ruin they had experienced. The moment it was teleported, everyone subconsciously covered their eyes because they saw light, dazzling light.
It is different from the cold light brought by magic illumination, and it is also different from the dim light of gas lamps. This is the light that is truly like sunlight, shining from the high and distant sky.
Looking towards the outside of the Rainbow Bridge, the vast land is dotted with dots of green. One plant after another is stubbornly growing in the gaps between the ruins of the dilapidated fairy palace. The plants growing in the ruins are far from being called
Lush. But for these light seekers who have never seen wild plants, this scene is shocking enough.
"We succeeded. We finally found the light!" Wendell was the first to cheer. They didn't expect that they actually succeeded. The light appeared in front of their eyes. The air here can be breathed. The plants here can grow.
, this is simply paradise for them who have been living in the shield.
"Did you see it? We finally found the light. We have finally completed the mission of the light seekers!" Wendell had a patient named Andrew who was already poisoned.
The fresh air and bright sunshine made Andrew, who was on the verge of death, open his eyes like a flashback. As if he wanted to reach out and touch the sun, he stretched out his hand against the direction of the light, but in the end he didn't touch anything. His palm slowly
He fell down, and after exhausting almost all the medicine, the heroic explorer still failed to survive, but at least he fell into the light.
Lan Nuo couldn't save everyone. Being able to lead everyone to this point with the least sacrifice was the limit of what he could do.
"Everyone, don't be in a hurry to relax. The top priority now is to pass this news back. We don't have many supplies on us, especially food and water, which we don't carry much. It's very difficult to support the return journey. My
The suggestion is to shut down the phone first, turn off the armor on our body, save fuel and collect supplies at the same time. Since there are plants growing here, I can make starch and collect clean water. After we replenish the supplies, we can continue on the original route as much as possible.
Return. As for exploring here, I think it is completely unnecessary and not safe.
We are not sure whether there are other survivors here, nor whether they have good intentions towards us. The most important thing is to bring back the news that it is possible to survive here. It is best to wait for the specific exploration when we arrive next time.
."
Lan Nuo's proposal was approved by Wendel. This space is really too big, and no one can predict the dangers it may contain.
Since wild plants can survive, larger animals and even intelligent creatures may not be able to survive. In-depth exploration carries the risk of annihilation, and once they sacrifice, there will never be another light-seeking operation.
No one will ever know that there is a paradise where they can live here.
"There is another problem. We must find a way to make the Steam Council believe that we have really found the light and the land suitable for survival.
Since the Illusive Land incident, thousands of elite personnel with various professional skills died in the dark night. The Steam Council's trust in us has dropped sharply, even if most of us returned alive and wanted to convince them
It will probably be very difficult to use a lot of manpower and material resources to accompany us in the next round of exploration.
So while collecting supplies for return, we also need to find enough proof that we have been to Asgard."
Tanarosa also nodded and said: "We not only have to prove that we have been to Asgard, but also prove that the environment here is suitable for human survival. I think the best way is to collect some here. In the Twilight City
Completely non-existent flora and fauna.
A plant that does not exist in the Twilight City is the most convincing evidence to the members of the Steam Council. We may be able to forge various signs and badges, but it is obvious that we cannot forge a living
plants. And there is nothing better than a living plant to prove that this place is suitable for human survival."
Everyone nodded. There is indeed no more suitable evidence than this. There are not many places to plant plants inside the shield of Twilight City. This is because artificial light and sufficient water sources are provided. Otherwise, even a wild plant
It is difficult for plants to be born.
And it's even more impossible as the place is lush and green, with all kinds of mutated weeds growing there.
This land full of life is full of evidence that can convince the Steam Council.
As a scholar, Tanarossa is well aware of the various plants that live in the City of Vision, so he can easily tell which of the plants on site do not belong to the City of Twilight. He picked one to see.
It looks the most special. Even ordinary people can confirm that it definitely does not belong to the bright plants of the Twilight City. They carefully dig it out together with the soil below and put it into the sealed jar that was originally used to hold water.
Next, they will take this jar and travel across mountains and rivers, going through difficulties and obstacles again, and return to the Twilight City.
In addition to collecting evidence, the most important thing for everyone to do now is to collect water and food. It is uncertain whether these wild plants can be used as food, but they do not need to know whether these wild plants can be eaten, as long as they are picked all
Just coming back is enough.
Lan Nuo rummaged through the ruins and found something that looked like a cauldron. Maybe it was a bathtub, a giant's sink, or the ruins of a former fountain. In short, this thing could be used as a huge pot.
Use. A large number of unknown plants were piled into this cauldron. Lan Nuo and Helena used ice-attribute spells to condense a large amount of clean water. They first cleaned the plants to make sure there was no dust and then chopped them into pieces.
Throw it into a large pot and boil it to ensure that no harmful bacteria and viruses survive.
Lan Nuo then took out the bacterial strain from the small bottle he carried with him, which is indispensable for food-making techniques. The basis of this type of magic is to use microorganisms as a medium to catalyze the decomposition of plant cell walls and decompose long-chain cell wall macromolecules.
Become starch. These starches are then purified.
As sticky bubbles emerged from the cauldron like a classical magic ritual, starch and waste materials began to layer in the big country. The original turbid yellow glass now turned milky white. Everyone used their own containers to put these
The milky white viscous substance is poured out. Then it is laid on a plastic sheet and allowed to be dried by the sun as a reserve grain.
In addition, a part of the starch with more impurities was left. Lanno changed another strain of bacteria and put it in, and sealed it to a certain extent.
This step is brewing, and the fuel they have is obviously low. After traveling all the way and overcoming various obstacles, their mecha has consumed too much energy. If they want to return the same way, they have to replenish the mecha with fuel.
, there is basically no hope of synthesizing fuel in the industrial environment here, but it is still possible to make some alcohol to replace fuel and use it as the power source for the power armor on the body.
In the past, when there was an extreme shortage of alcohol, airplanes could be started with alcohol. It can be imagined that internal combustion engines are not as picky about fuel as imagined.
Lannuo prepared a large amount of alcohol and distilled it several times to ensure its purity. The materials needed for everyone's return journey were basically collected. The most important thing they carried with them was the amulet to resist magic radiation, because this thing was in Ah
Sgard has almost no way to obtain supplies. Food, water and even fuel can all be produced under simple conditions, but amulets that can resist magic radiation cannot be produced. They must be produced by professional magic workshops.
.There are really lacking too many conditions here.
Therefore, when they choose to carry supplies, the number of talismans is more than enough so that they can be used when they return.
And this time, everyone only chose four people to return together. The rest continued to live here, surviving in the wilderness in this vast natural environment.
The biggest reason for making this choice is to concentrate the drug talismans on everyone as much as possible to ensure that everyone has enough supplies to be able to travel through the harsh environment of Vanaheim and the harsh environment of the magma lake. Finally, find the drug parked at the teleportation point.
car.
Lan Nuo and Wendell led the team back with everyone. The four of them carried more than enough supplies and teleported back to Vanaheim. Fortunately, they had marked all the way when they came, and there were no signs when they came.
After taking so many wrong paths, now that they are returning, they only need to develop these markers to ensure that they will not get lost. At the same time, during the process of returning, they are strengthening these markers and strengthening the markers into very conspicuous arrows.
Make sure that you can find the right path as long as you find any mark. With these marks present, the difficulty of exploration will be greatly reduced for later explorers. In the future, a road can be built along these marks to facilitate the migration of more people.
The four of them had plenty of supplies and were wearing the best powered armor, so they did not encounter too many twists and turns along the way. They successfully crossed the pitch-black Vanaheim, crossed the scorching magma lake, and finally found the stop.
Cars on the Rainbow Bridge.
One of the cars was still in good condition, and the four people chose to drive away two of them, so that if the remaining people needed to return in an emergency, they would not be trapped on the Rainbow Bridge without a car to use.
After finding the vehicle, the four people immediately felt a sense of security. The abundant supplies and survival tools in the vehicle allowed them to survive with ease even in the nine countries with harsh environments. After exploring the road before, this
After going back for the first time, they became familiar with the road. After traveling through continents with harsh environments one after another, they finally saw the shimmering shield in the distance. That was the Twilight City, and countless light seekers came from this city.
They walked out of it and brought disappointing news to the city again and again. As the last light seekers in the city after thousands of years, they finally brought back the news of success to the city. Bringing back the light
news.
The two roaring vehicles were now covered with scratches, and their bodies were covered with black mud. They looked in a miserable state, but the powerful roar of their engines proved that they were in good condition.
The news of the return of the light seekers was quickly reported to the Steam Council by the scouts around the shield. In the past, when the light seekers returned, the entire city would welcome them, regardless of whether they found the light or not, and regardless of how much light they had left.
People, for this group of great light seekers, as long as they can come back alive, it is considered a victory. At that time, no one will condemn their failure.
But with failure after failure, as the Steam Council becomes more and more difficult to maintain the city's existence, as everyone's life becomes more and more difficult, the residents of the city can no longer be seen lining the streets to welcome the returning light seekers.
It's a grand occasion.
The only people who greeted them at this moment were the heavily armed mecha army and the quarantine personnel with serious expressions.
"get off!"
Before the two vehicles reached the shield, they were stopped by a giant crab mecha. A dozen spider robots followed the giant crab mecha, showing a tendency to surround them, ready to forcibly contain the two vehicles from rushing towards each other.
Enter the shield.
Quarantine personnel wearing full-body leather protective clothing and carrying large disinfection cans on their backs sprayed the car randomly. Only after all the mud on the car was washed away did someone allow the people on the car to open the door.
Get off the car.
Hope is the leader of this group of people. At this moment, he is looking at his father with vigilant eyes. It was precisely because his father became a light seeker and abandoned his wife and children that his mother was seriously ill and had no one to take care of her and eventually passed away.
.
From then on, Hope hated his father and also hated the light seekers. Now that he saw his father returning from the darkness again, he was born with distrust and vigilance. And he never thought that
It is really possible for his father to find light in the darkness.
"A total of 4 people came back alive this time. It's a really high survival rate! Tell me, what did you find? Did you find a corner to hide just after you left Midgard? You hid half of it
If you dare to come back only after Yue, don't tell me that you have found the light. Although I have no expectations for you, I don't want to see you degenerate to the point where you rely on lies and brainwashing and become a cult."
