As a running expedition and military functional base, it is almost impossible to be so quiet. At any time, there should be transport vehicles coming and going, soldiers running around the playground, and engineering teams carrying large equipment.
.
But in this bright environment, there is an eerie silence.
Since there are no natural noises such as insects and birds in the gap space, the quietness is almost deafening. If it were not for the fact that you can still hear your own breathing and heartbeat, in this extremely quiet environment, the cilia in the ears cannot capture the vibrations and
The self-generated tinnitus is like the howl of a banshee.
"No, where's Stan?"
Via immediately broke the uncomfortable silence, looked in the direction of the base, and couldn't help but worry.
Stan was only half a room ahead of them, so how come they were nowhere to be seen after returning to the base?
Zhang Zicheng walked towards the base, passing outposts and walls along the way. He carefully looked at the integrity of these places.
Obviously, there was no brutal battle taking place here, no blood, no smoke, no bullet marks.
It’s as if everyone has gone back to the dormitory to take a nap, and the surrounding scenes are telling the word ‘calm’.
At this moment, Zhang Zicheng suddenly looked up and saw a shadow flashing through the third-story window of the base building and disappearing instantly.
Zhang Zicheng frowned slightly: "Is this the setting of a horror movie again?"
Wea followed Zhang Zicheng closely. When she heard what he said, she also looked up at the window of the base and said nervously: "What? What did you find?"
At the same time, Kong Huan and Beatrice also came to Zhang Zicheng. However, one of them came from a society without any supernatural literary and artistic works, and the other came from the wild and cold Iceland. The most terrifying thing that the elders could tell was the forest.
The wild beast in the world, and Beatrice could kill a bear alone as a child.
Both of them lacked the influence of horror-type literary and artistic works, so they had no sense of the silence and weirdness of the base, and they even dared to wander around and look around.
Beatrice asked Zhang Zicheng strangely: "Teacher, is this a building from another world? It does look different from the buildings in Iceland and the Luoma people. It is square and can protect against wind and rain.
."
Only then did Kong Huan react and asked Zhang Zicheng: "Who is this little sister? Where did you come back from? Why did you let her enter the gap space?"
Zhang Zicheng did not look back, but still replied normally: "She is my new apprentice, but I haven't taught her much yet, so it may not be of much use. You can just treat her as a mascot like you for the time being.
."
Kong Huan groaned, nodded, and then frowned and said: "Who do you think is the mascot? I can help you move the pocket space, it will be very useful, okay?"
Zhang Zicheng saw that Kong Huan seemed to be very interested in chatting, so he suddenly turned around and asked her: "Speaking of which, your pocket space can only allow organic matter to enter. If you want to pass inorganic matter, you must use my spiritual energy to protect it."
But I see that these people can easily move large equipment, even containers and trucks. Is your technological level not good enough?"
In fact, Kong Huan had noticed this a long time ago, but she didn't expect that Zhang Zicheng would actually use this to mock the technology of her own civilization, and suddenly said angrily: "I don't believe they figured out how to enter the gap space on their own! It must be so.
It was good luck! We encountered a naturally formed stable passage! Otherwise, given the technological content of these weapons and vehicles, could they have built portals by pouring branches and wood with oil?"
Zhang Zicheng actually thinks so, and he has already heard the name of that thing. It is probably the so-called 'hinge book'.
But what Zhang Zicheng actually wanted to ask was another thing.
He changed his subject and asked directly: "Then how did you survive that year when you had nothing? Looking at the way you eat haise every day, it doesn't look like you can survive without food at all.
”
Kong Huan was silent for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly: "Can you stop asking...I, I don't really want to recall it. If you must know, I can only say...I have eaten a lot of strange things, and they are big
In some cases, it’s disgusting.”
"Is it similar to what these people say?"
"Probably?...I didn't give any names to the creatures I encountered. After all, most of them just wanted to eat me."
Zhang Zicheng and Kong Huan were chatting while walking towards the building of the base.
Without personnel to guard it, any defense facilities in the base are useless. The progress of the four of them is no different from wandering around the university campus.
Zhang Zicheng actually released his spiritual thoughts early on and noticed some strange things in the base. But those strange things were not separate individuals or monsters. He did not feel the existence of creatures like clowns.<
/p>
Including the dark figure on the third floor before, Zhang Zicheng's spiritual mind swept across it, but no living things were found.
The living things here refer to ‘moving’ objects, not specifically living creatures.
But the most important thing is actually Stan who walks ahead of everyone.
The disappearance of the other party was not seen by others, so it naturally seemed extremely mysterious. Even though Zhang Zicheng had been paying attention to him with his spiritual thoughts before, when Stan entered the room that had been expanded and built into a large base, he seemed to have fallen into an invisible space.
In the water, any breath was lost in an instant.
While Zhang Zicheng was thinking about the problem of this base, he chatted with Kong Huan: "So, you ate them in the end?"
Kong Huan's face had completely pulled down, and after putting on a look of helplessness, it suddenly turned into a bitter look. He could only shout in a low voice: "Didn't I tell you everything? Stop asking?"
But she still lowered her head and nodded: "Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have survived. Some rooms have unlimited clean water, but only those creatures can provide me with heat."
Zhang Zicheng suddenly reached out and touched Kong Huan's head.
Kong Huan was stunned and raised his head, not knowing why.
Zhang Zicheng sighed: "I actually didn't have the nerve to ask. I thought you were not the only one who entered the crack space. It was just that you ate your companions to survive, so you didn't want to mention it. In the end, you just ate some of your appearance.
It may be disgusting, or it may be a human-like creature. In fact, you don’t need to take it too seriously. Some of us on earth also eat monkeys.”
Kong Huan was so angry that he wanted to stamp his feet: "I'm not eating people! Don't talk nonsense!"
Their exchanges were all in the language of Kong Huan's hometown. Wea couldn't understand it, but she still silently wrote down some of the pronunciations, hoping to find a chance to compare them with the existing languages of the earth to see if they could be used in small languages.
Find them to confirm their specific origins.
After chatting with Kong Hangang, Zhang Zicheng also discovered that the interstitial space was not as empty as he had imagined.
Even individuals from different universes appear in it very densely. At least enough for Kong Huan, a little girl who doesn't eat much, to survive with eight meals in three days.
Moreover, it is obvious that not all Kaikai are powerful. On the contrary, the vast majority of so-called Kaikai are just ordinary creatures in other universes, and the majority are weak.
At least Kong Huan, a girl who has been genetically enhanced, has not encountered a creature that can really kill her for a whole year. In addition, Kong Huan is very cautious and timid. She can escape no matter how powerful the enemy is, regardless of her luck.
If it is extremely overwhelming, it can only be said that the strength of the empty ring can occupy the upper reaches of the gap space.
This further confirms Zhang Zicheng's previous guess, that the interstitial space is likely to be a limited area around 3.14 dimensions, and only creatures within this range may randomly enter it due to various accidents.
Now they are inside the base building. The facilities here are complete and there are German signs everywhere. The first floor is a comprehensive area, and even a small part of it is a comprehensive canteen, and the food inside is even warm.<
/p>
Seeing the food, Kong Huan couldn't walk anymore. Without asking Zhang Zicheng, he pushed open the sign in the cafeteria stating that idlers are not allowed to enter, entered the food window, transformed into a cook, and started to eat happily.
There are quite a lot of types of food here, including bread, mashed potatoes, pork sausages, meatballs, chicken nuggets, pasta, and a variety of sauces, which looks very rich.
Beatrice was a little jealous when she saw Kong Huan's actions, so she went to the window and swallowed.
Icelandic food is very rough, either barbecued meat or cured meat for storage. There are very few such highly processed foods. Just smelling the various spices in it makes Beatrice reluctant.
I started drooling all the time.
When Kong Huan saw her, she transformed into an aunt in the cafeteria, took a rice plate and a spoon, filled a large spoonful of mashed potatoes for Beatrice, poured gravy on it, then piled all kinds of meat on top, and handed it to Beatrice outside.
Si.
"Thank you!" Beatrice shouted thank you in Icelandic, then stood directly at the meal window and started eating, her eyes getting brighter and brighter.
She couldn't help turning her head to look at Zhang Zicheng, and said in surprise: "Teacher! The food here is delicious! The spices in it must be very precious! Come and eat some too!"
Zhang Zicheng waved his hand, not because he was afraid that there was something wrong with the food, but because he was a clone. As long as he didn't have the desire to eat, there was basically no need to eat. On the contrary, it would take more energy to digest food.
In terms of appetite, Zhang Zicheng now wants to eat Kung Pao Chicken Rice Bowl, and is not very interested in these fast food-style Caucasian rice dishes.
At this moment, Zhang Zicheng noticed the dark shadow in the corner again.
Since the last time the black shadow flashed by, Zhang Zicheng seemed to be wandering around, but in fact he was paying close attention to the surrounding environment. This time, Zhang Zicheng actually captured the specific appearance of the black shadow.
Well, it’s still a shadow.
It was really just a shadow. The moment Zhang Zicheng discovered it, it blended into the shadow of the trash can next to it and disappeared in an instant.
No wonder I didn’t even detect the existence of the other party with my spiritual thoughts before. It turned out to be a shadow acting as a monster.
Zhang Zicheng walked towards the trash can. Wea didn't know what was happening. Facing the familiar quiet environment, her inner fear did not diminish at all, so she only dared to follow Zhang Zicheng closely.
Zhang Zicheng stopped when he was two meters away from the trash can. Then he stretched out his hand with the tips of his five fingers pointing upward. Except for the index finger, the tips of the other four fingers were bent inward and gently
I made a Rijunjue mudra.
Immediately, a warm halo of light lit up behind Zhang Zicheng's head, instantly illuminating the entire canteen even brighter.
And the shadow of the trash can was completely isolated and projected on the wall in the light.
But even so, nothing happened. Only Wea looked at the aperture behind Zhang Zicheng's head in surprise, and said in surprise: "Sir, you... why did you suddenly start to shine?"
Only then did Zhang Zicheng remember that he had not told these people his name, so he casually said: "Just call me Si Chen."
As he spoke, he did not explain the reason for his glow. Instead, he stretched out the Rijun Jue in his hand and pointed it downwards. The aperture behind his head was fixed in place, and Zhang Zicheng no longer followed him as he walked.
What's amazing is that this warm, bright halo will form strong shadows when it hits other objects. But when it shines on Zhang Zicheng, it's as if the light will bend, completely surrounding Zhang Zicheng in a circle, making his whole body bright.
As if the shadow-shading game was turned off, the shadows all over the body, including the folds of clothing, disappeared, and there was only diffuse light under the feet, but no shadows.
This scene also attracted the attention of the two cooks in the cafeteria. Kong Huan cautiously shrank his head and hid behind the rice bowl, continuing to eat spaghetti full of meat sauce. Beatrice, who was stubborn, no longer greedy for food, just
He took a few more bites of the meatballs in his mouth, then puffed out his cheeks and ran to Zhang Zicheng with a serious face.
"Boss, what happened?"
Zhang Zicheng glanced at his cheap apprentice speechlessly and said with disgust: "Swallow what's in your mouth first."
As he said that, he looked down at his hands without shadows, and even opened his collar, and the clothes were bright inside. Then he came closer to the trash can and asked: "What don't I want to play with? I've found you, come out quickly."
Right', and then you thought I was playing a game with you, which has been silent for a long time. I hope you can understand my English, because if you don't show up within ten seconds, I will use Sun Yao Jue on you. Look
See if you can survive without the shadow."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Zicheng started counting directly: "1..."
As soon as he finished saying 1, he immediately pinched the Rijun Jue again, this time using both hands together, and pointing his index fingers at the trash can.
Suddenly, together with the halo created by Zhang Zicheng before, the whole cafeteria seemed to have two suns rising.
Although the entire canteen was originally brightly lit with incandescent lamps, the first halo created by Zhang Zicheng was not too dazzling. But the two haloes seemed to be superimposed on each other, and for a moment it was like being in the canteen.
Throwing a flashbang.
"Ahhhh!!!"
The shadow of the trash can disappeared in an instant, and even the inside of the trash can shone like an important prop hidden in a game treasure chest. However, this sight made some beings hidden in it immediately scream and scream.
Call out.
"Didn't you say within ten seconds? You lied to me!!"
Zhang Zicheng shrugged: "Isn't one second within ten seconds? You are not very good at math."
