Dreamwalkers themselves are consciousnesses that break through human self-perception. No matter how weak they are in the real world, they are all superhuman existences in the world of Gaia. Even the weakest hunchback old man can easily run as fast as
The speed of the Olympic 100-meter sprint champion.
"Why don't we go get some supplies?"
While walking through a dense evergreen coniferous forest, Dongzi, who was missing a finger, suddenly stopped and looked at the small town in the distance where smoke was curling up.
The so-called supplies are actually looting - before the Gaia base had no production capacity, this was the only way for Dreamwalkers to obtain supplies in the world of Gaia.
"It's not necessary. Entering the legendary land from Gaia is just like entering Gaia from the real world. Everything on you except legendary items will be eliminated, and all supplies can only be obtained from the legendary land."
Li Mengnan had done enough homework before coming, at least he would not ask such low-level questions again.
"These days we are talking about legendary lands. Who can tell me what the legendary lands are like inside?"
Guo Yimin followed Li Mengnan step by step. Although Li Mengnan and PADIO had slowed down, it was still a little difficult for ordinary dreamwalkers to keep up with them.
"Buddha said: One flower is one world, one tree is one floating life, one grass is one paradise, one leaf is one Tathagata, one sand is one bliss, one square is one pure land, one smile is one worldly connection, one thought is one tranquility..." PADIO said lightly.
"Talk like a human being!" the fat man puffed up his face and said dissatisfiedly.
"Just like the world of Gaia is a projection of the consciousness of the real world, Legend is the collective consciousness projection of a certain legend by humans. Because it exists independently of the world of Gaia, you can think of it as a small world."
In fact, Li Mengnan rather admires the explanation of PADIO, the pseudonym, as the mysterious Zen meaning is closer to the essence of the legendary place.
"Can't you just say it's a copy? It's so mysterious." Fatty's understanding was simple and crude.
"This explanation is also suitable for your brain, which is as wrinkle-free as natural crystal." PADIO, the tomboy's poisonous tongue has obviously become an instinct engraved in her genes. She glanced at Guo Yimin contemptuously, "But this
Dungeons are much larger than you think, and often a legendary place is a complete world."
"So big? Isn't it too exaggerated?" Guo Yimin opened his eyes wide with astonishment on his face.
"Don't think and judge with the thinking model of the real world. The material world has limits, but the world of consciousness has no limits." As a magician who plays illusions, Li Mengnan understands the characteristics and essence of the world of consciousness better than anyone else.
.
"Understood, this is like copying and pasting computer files. As long as the hard disk is large enough, you can create new worlds without limit."
This little fat guy Guo Yimin seems to be very familiar with computers. No matter what topic he talks about, he can get an approximate explanation from a computer perspective.
Dreamwalkers are not perpetual motion machines. Even in the Gaia world composed of consciousness, there are limitations such as "physical strength", or it can also be understood as consciousness fatigue.
Even Li Mengnan and PADIO, who are currently the strongest in the team, feel a little overwhelmed after a long period of continuous high-speed running. Although Qinggong can reduce their physical consumption, it also consumes extra mental energy.
After traveling for about half an hour, Li Mengnan and others stopped by a road to take a break.
"The Romanian government is also quite strange. There are so many places with barren mountains and forests that don't build bases. Why do they have to compete with this place?"
A wretched-looking man with a moustache was squatting on the roadside and twiddling his fingers - entering the world of Gaia could repair his non-genetic physical defects. The fingers that had been missing for too long suddenly grew back, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"No country would choose barren mountains and old forests to build a Gaia base... Indeed, a place inaccessible to people can indeed guarantee the safety of the Gaia base to the greatest extent, but don't forget that the real world cannot provide Gaia base with the exception of Dreamwalker
Any form of support and all materials needed to build a base need to be obtained by plundering the world of Gaia.
This also means that the Gaia base cannot be too far away from the city. Once the distance from the city exceeds half a day's drive, all looted materials will be reset and disappear in the replacement of the inner and outer worlds before they are transported back to the base.
If enough time is allowed for the Dream Walker's plunder mission, this distance may be further shortened.
It is close to the city, has convenient transportation, and the population cannot be too dense... With these restrictions, there are very few sites that can be used as Gaia bases.
It's not obvious for a large country with a vast territory like ours, China, that if one location doesn't work, it will be replaced by another one. But for a small country like Romania, which is not as big as our province, how can it have so many alternatives, and it can't compete with one place?
There’s nothing surprising about that.”
These unknown details were not mentioned in the internal information of HX Research Institute. Li Mengnan came to the conclusion after analyzing the existing information.
PADIO's eyebrows raised inadvertently. He had not even noticed the rules of location selection for the Gaia base, but he did not expect that Li Mengnan would analyze it so clearly and thoroughly.
After resting for a while, everyone continued on their way and soon arrived at the peripheral area of the legendary land marked on the map.
Looking from the outside in, the location of this legendary place is nothing special. The ruins of an unknown castle stand on a grassy hillside. However, if you look closely, you can faintly see a huge hemispherical transparent barrier in the space ahead.
Turn it upside down and cover an area of several square kilometers.
PADIO stepped forward and reached out to touch it lightly. Under his slender and round fingertips like a girl, ripple-like ripples spread out on the transparent barrier, and the scenery inside was distorted and deformed.
"This should be the high-energy repellent barrier in the mission information. No dreamwalker above level F can enter it. If not, such a good thing would not be available to new dreamwalkers like us."
Guo Yimin also curiously followed PADIO's example and put his hand into the barrier. When he saw his palm disappearing behind the transparent barrier, he quickly retracted his hand.
"Hey, look over there?" Dongzi seemed to have discovered something and raised his hand to point to the woods in the distance.
Everyone looked around and saw a team of Dreamwalkers wearing the same style of white uniforms flashing past in the forest, disappearing one after another into the huge high-energy repulsion barrier on the periphery of the legendary land. There were radial circular ripples layer upon layer.
Gradually fade and dissipate.
"That's the Japanese team."
Li Mengnan had already noticed this four-man Dreamwalker team on the platform before setting off. Although there was no sign such as a national flag, the habit of bowing when speaking could not be changed for a while.
"I didn't expect that our third team would actually encounter the Japs." Guo Yimin said in surprise.
"Can't you see that you are still an angry young man?" Li Mengnan said with a smile.
"I don't know if I'm an angry young man or not, but I just don't like the kid for some reason." Guo Yimin curled his lips and said.
"Agree +1." Huang Hao, the boring gourd, also lost no time in raising his hand.
PADIO glanced at the position of the sun above his head, frowned and said: "Now is not the time to talk about country and family feud, the sun is setting, it's time to go in."
After saying that, PADIO lifted up the corner of his skirt and stepped into the barrier first.
Li Mengnan, Guo Yimin, Huang Hao and others exchanged glances and walked in one after another.
…
It was like a tough transition shot without the montage effect. When he stepped into the transparent barrier, the scene in front of Li Mengnan changed drastically.
The first thing that catches the eye is the blood-like sunset. Mutilated corpses can be seen everywhere on the barren wheat fields. The burning flames are like gluttonous evil spirits, burning the land stained red with blood.
