Judging from the map displayed on the stone wall, the geographical distribution of this world is really weird.
If this planet were divided into two halves, one hemisphere would be completely covered with oceans, water, and not even an island. On the other half of the land, except for a few mountains and rivers marked as "competition venues," there would be only flat plains.
Plains - Lin Sanjiu searched for a long time, but he couldn't find even a lake or a canyon.
Obviously, this world, like the landscape of God's Love, must have been transformed.
In the center of this semicircular continent is a circular area surrounded by high walls. With the circular area as the center, many thin lines radiate outwards, dividing the continent into
There are countless competition areas; if Lin Sanjiu wants to go to God's Love, the shortest route is through the circular area.
It seems that she is quite lucky. She is only about half an hour away from the high wall - "What if someone falls very far away from the high wall, or simply falls into the sea?" Lin Sanjiu said
After looking at the map, I couldn't help but ask a question.
"Regardless of location, everyone is a homeless person before registering to compete."
Lin Sanjiu was stunned.
Doomsday teleportation will also cause some casualties, and may even directly affect whether an evolver can survive in the new world... Perhaps because each teleportation went smoothly, she had not thought about this issue in depth before!
There are so many people who may not even know how they died, let alone how their struggles to hold on to their lives are like floating insects fetching water, with no effect - Lin Sanjiu suddenly became excited, thought for a while, and sighed.
He whispered: "There are still 14 months... It seems that I have to find a protective prop as soon as possible."
The Queen of Soul had nothing to do with herself, glanced at the prompt on the wall, turned around and left.
Lin Sanjiu came back to her senses, took a quick glance, and found that the inscription on the stone wall had changed to "Please walk two hundred meters to your right and wait for the door to open" - when the stone wall door was closed.
, she couldn't tell which was the wall and which was the door; with a dull rumble, a section of the stone wall suddenly slid open to both sides like a piece of cut butter.
Amidst the friction of stones, the stone door finally retracted into the walls on both sides, revealing a circular area paved with red bricks behind it.
With some caution, Lin Sanjiu walked into the circular area - what the evolvers call the "resting area".
Judging from the data on the map, this area is astonishingly large, enough to accommodate two super urban circles like the Tokyo area; and compared to the desolate land outside, this vast area finally has some things to offer.
Popularity - Although these pitiful popularity refers to the sheets and sleeping bags scattered here and there on the ground like garbage.
Except for evolvers like Lin Sanjiu who are new here and have not yet entered their own competition area, the rest of the people, whether they are contestants or spectators, must leave the rest area at sunrise; perhaps it is for this reason, or perhaps because of these
The sheets and pillows were all dirty and tattered, and the players didn't seem to care at all whether their belongings would be lost.
Lin Sanjiu followed the direction she had written down, keeping an eye out for people as she walked. It took her several hours to pass through the lower part of the rest area, and came to a long wall with no end in sight.
.
The gray-blue stone brick wall stands high under the sky, and the clouds and fog block the sunlight. It looks like it is always shrouded in a cloudy day that is about to rain. As the door of the God's Love competition area opens, Lin Sanjiu's
His eyes also fell on the earth outside; the green and lush colors were dense on the horizon, too thick to be dissolved, like someone sighing in desperation.
This was so different from Lin Sanjiu's impression of the sunny and toned Olympics. She turned back and took one last look at the empty and quiet rest area before walking into the Love of God competition area.
Compared with other competition areas, this competition area is really pitiful - judging from the information provided by Stone Wall, there are less than a hundred contestants here. Those who teleport away and those who die are always better than those who are new.
Many, always in a state of "making ends meet", I don't know which day this competition area will be cancelled.
Out of curiosity, Lin Sanjiu also asked about the number of players in other competition areas, and found that the number of players in the twelve central competition areas was generally more than 2,000, with the largest number being 5,000. Even the number of players in the meat world
In a place where almost everyone is dead, there are nearly 300 contestants.
What makes people afraid to think too deeply is that most of the apocalyptic worlds she has experienced have competition areas here, which means that many people can escape from those places alive; the only one without competition areas is the Garden of Eden.
"What if there is a doomsday world where only one person is teleported?" The Queen of Soul also asked Gao Qiang such a question at that time - the answer she got was: "Then he can automatically win and directly meet the supreme god Zeus.
Yes. But lying about the name of a world won’t work.”
At this time, Lin Sanjiu was thinking about why lying would not work, while leading the Queen of Soul towards the depths of the competition area.
The soul seems to be a race that cannot walk very well. After walking for a few hours just now, the queen has become wilted and wilted. Even her face is completely loose, as if she is about to slip out of the skin at any time. As she walks, it
He spoke hoarsely: "I say, you may be overly optimistic."
"What?" Lin Sanjiu asked without looking back - she was looking around in all directions. One advantage here is that she can see a large area of land at a glance without any obstruction.
"The person you said you could meet right away has never been met right away." The Queen of Soul is now becoming more and more humane. In addition to being sarcastic and dissatisfied, there is also a bit of frustration and disappointment in her tone: "You said you would meet her 'immediately'
I'm going to meet your friend, and you can do the math for yourself, how many years ago was this?"
After the Queen of Soul helped a lot, the two of them now seemed like friends rather than enemies. Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "This... this is different."
But she didn't expect that the Queen of Soul's words would actually come true.
She searched for three days in the God's Love competition area. Until the time of the race was about to come, she still couldn't find the gift bag or the puppet master.
There were less than a hundred faces in total. In the past few days, Lin Sanjiu had already looked at each of them carefully. The momentum was as if he was chasing a fugitive. If he still couldn't find them, it could only mean one thing.
Yes - the gift bag and the puppet master have not escaped at all, they are still in the data flow management library.
At this moment, countless dense and dazzling white light beams seemed to flash before her eyes - under such a close scanning, if they had not escaped, they must have been caught by the data body.
Lin Sanjiu sighed deeply, looked up at the sky with white mist above her head, and fell into confusion for a moment. How could she return to the data flow library? She didn't even have the means to fly, let alone fly.
It has crossed tens of thousands of meters in the air!
There can't be rockets in the Olympics, right? She thought blankly.
"Hey, big sister, do you want a rocket?" A crisp voice interrupted her confusion.
Lin Sanjiu's surprise was truly extraordinary - for a moment, she almost suspected that someone had penetrated her mind; she took a few steps back before she regained her composure and took a look at the person coming.
The person who spoke seemed to be startled by her reaction. He also took a few steps back, blinked his eyes and asked, "...what's the matter?"
When she saw the speaker clearly, Lin Sanjiu's first reaction was to hold down the eager Queen of Souls.
This is a girl who has just reached the prime of life - her eyes, nose, shoulders and wrists are all small and thin, a lot smaller than an adult, as if they will break if she breaks. Perhaps it is because of experience.
Due to several reasons in the apocalyptic world, she looks a little rough and dirty, but her eyes are still very clear.
The only difference between this girl and the Queen of Soul in her clothing selection standards is that she does not wear double ponytails - but this is not a problem for the big meat insect.
"What rocket, little sister?" Lin Sanjiu held her shoulder, and the Queen of Soul smiled gently at her, waving while smiling: "Come here, come closer and talk."
After all, the girl had experienced the apocalypse, and her face suddenly became wary, and she took two steps back. Lin Sanjiu quickly asked: "Ignore her! What happened to the rocket you just mentioned?
?Why haven’t I seen you two days ago?”
The girl calmed down and smiled at the two of them: "My name is Luye. I usually run back and forth between the competition areas and do some small business. You guys have just arrived. It's normal that you haven't seen me before. I just came from another place today."
Come over to the competition area."
Having said this, she pointed behind her - there, the lines of the runway were like living snakes, spreading out along the ground; the starting line was also pulled up, and several steps were shaky.
The contestants, who looked like zombies from a distance, were walking listlessly towards the starting line.
"Are you going to participate in a race?" Lu Ye chuckled, and his expression became more lively when facing Lin Sanjiu: "Almost all newcomers choose this! The rocket is an item that is particularly suitable for racing events. It can be used in
It will greatly speed up your time when you need it. You will definitely not regret buying it! My price is very reasonable, two items for one item——"
Lin Sanjiu let out a breath, feeling both disappointed and reassured. That's right, it can't really be a rocket that can carry people to the sky... She shook her head, saying that she didn't need Lu Ye's promotion; she couldn't bear it.
Zhu added: "Isn't using special items cheating?"
"You can use any method, it doesn't count as cheating!" Luye didn't mind at all, and just as he was about to say something more, suddenly a clear and long horn sound broke through the air, echoing slowly under the white mist; several people were shocked.
, I looked up and saw more and more runners gathered in front of the starting line not far away; they were moving their arms and legs, and some had already bent down to get ready.
Luye put his two thin arms on his back and said with a smile: "This is your first preparation call. It doesn't matter, you go to the game first. If you feel you need it after the game, come to me! I will
In the rest area, close to the range of God’s love.”
After the girl finished speaking, she nodded and left - Lin Sanjiu grabbed the Soul Queen and held her down to prevent her from following; the big meat insect shouted unhappily: "Why don't you let me wear it?"
"
The silhouette of Lu Ye in the distance suddenly quickened its pace.
"The game is about to begin!" Lin Sanjiu knew that human life was innocent and it meant nothing to it; so he tugged on the queen's neck and said, "Hurry up!"
The Queen of Soul muttered something, her voice too low to be heard.
When one person and one insect arrived, the preparation area in front of the starting line was already full of people; they had no number plates and did not know the detailed rules, so they had to watch others follow their example - they saw others picking up from the starting line.
A dirty number plate was hung up. Only then did Lin Sanjiu realize that the number plates on the ground were originally prepared for the players, so she quickly picked two and picked them up. She took "39" for herself and gave it to the queen.
"40", both brands were sewn on pieces of cloth, and the edges were stained black by something unknown.
"Welcome all contestants to participate in this race!" From a stone tablet in the distance, a commentary buzzed, "Please line up at the starting line, this race is about to begin!"
