At the same time, somewhere in Africa, the Sahara Desert, in [Lost Oasis---City of the Dead].
"Is this right here?" Bediwell walked out of the bridge and landed on the deck of the golden ship. From here, he could overlook everything in the oasis.
Before reaching the deck, the werewolf felt an inexplicable damp heat rushing towards him.
It was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and the sun had just set. However, it had been exposed to the sun all day, and the heat it brought was still preserved by the greenhouse protected under the glass layer. It seemed that it would not cool down within an hour or three.
.
Moreover, most of the water vapor evaporated by the vegetation here is retained in the greenhouse, making the surrounding air humid and sticky, giving people the feeling of being in a steam room.
It's so hot. This is a paradise for plants, but is it a steam hell for people?
Bedivere subconsciously took off a coat, wearing only a thin shirt. If possible, he even wanted to take off his pants, because at this moment his shorts were soaked with sweat and stuck to his butt together with his underwear.
Above, extremely uncomfortable.
The werewolf deliberately ignored this discomfort and walked to the edge of the deck to observe this frighteningly dense green area.
"This is not an oasis. This is just a tropical rain forest." Bediwell muttered.
"However," Arthur also took off his robe and went into battle lightly: "You can't deny that this place is beautiful."
The werewolf nodded subconsciously, Arthur was absolutely right. The sun had already set at this time, and the main light source in this oasis was the light of the stars and the moon shining down from the glass ceiling.
But these starlights are not dim. No, they are refracted in the countless glass walls and ceilings of the City of the Dead, showing a dream-like seven-color brilliance. This brilliance is expanded by countless refractions.
Countless times, it spreads evenly throughout the oasis, illuminating everything... at least bright enough to be seen by the naked eye.
There are fireflies flying in the woods of the oasis, which is very lively. Noctiluca, which emits light green light, lives freely in this extremely clean and pollution-free pure land, and the light of their stars is no less than that of the stars in the sky.
The light of the noctiluca is also endlessly reflected in this world surrounded by glass sand, expanding hundreds of times, making the road on the ground easier to pass.
There is a sea of stars in the sky, and there is also a sea of stars underground. There is a hazy mist between the two seas of stars. This is the overview of the City of the Dead.
Bediwell now finally understands why ancient people did not set up lighting equipment in this oasis.
On the one hand, this is because this is a hidden supply station, and the light at night will only reveal its existence;
On the other hand, the natural environment of this oasis is inherently "self-sufficient" and can have enough lighting at night. Things like lights are simply a waste of energy.
King Arthur jumped off the deck of the battleship and landed lightly on the ground of the oasis. In addition to soil and weeds, the ground was also mixed with a lot of highly transparent glass sand, so when the King of Knights landed, there was inevitably a burst of sand friction.
The rustle of shoes.
The King of Knights seemed dissatisfied with the sound he made when he landed. He grunted: "Huh... we are finally here. The problem now is how to get Ivan and Tristan to come in from the ceiling [Dead Man]
city]."
The werewolf also used his tungsten turtle tongue whip to wrap around the handrail at the edge of the deck, and used the whip's buffer to fall down silently: "Maybe they can just wait outside, and the task of finding [Desert Rose] can be completed by the two of us."
Enough?"
"Bedivere, are you saying this again?" King Arthur glared at the werewolf, as if he was lecturing his own child: "After all, you are companions on a mission together, why can't you, Tristan, and Ivan always get along?
Quarreling when we meet?"
"I didn't. They were the ones who found the fault first," Bedivere defended himself.
"Really?" The King of Knights gave the werewolf a suspicious look, which made Bedivere feel guilty for a while.
The werewolf scratched his head and hurriedly changed the subject: "Anyway, the mission is just to pick that [Desert Rose] back in this forest, right? --- It's just a flower, it's not dangerous.
The task is really enough for the two of us."
"This system cannot agree with this." A small golden scarab golem flew down from the gold ship and landed on Bedivere's shoulder.
Eve's voice sounded from the little beetle, cold and inorganic: "Although I don't know what kind of plant the [Desert Rose] you are looking for is, but they are in the [Zero Area] of the 73rd Supply Station.
The possibility is very high. Unfortunately, [Area Zero] is currently under isolation due to the biochemical leakage crisis."
"Sheng, biochemical leakage crisis?!" When Bedivere heard this, a chill suddenly ran down his back. He knew that things would not go so smoothly.
"In these thousands of years, even if the administrators are no longer alive, the main computer of the supply station is still operating and independently researching various genetically modified food ingredients." Eve explained: "In order to develop products that are easier to grow
, wartime food supplies that are easier to harvest or eat."
"But the system got out of hand and created a terrifying biochemical monster. Interesting." Arthur added with a sneer, as if he had expected such a thing to happen.
"Correct answer. The development system of the 73rd Supply Station ignored safety protocols and secretly produced genetically modified plants that endanger environmental safety. These plants can not only produce food through photosynthesis, but can even attack surrounding organisms to accelerate their growth. They
It is extremely aggressive. Once leaked, it will definitely cause great damage to the entire ecological environment of Africa. Therefore, Area Zero of the supply station has been isolated. That area is very dangerous and only authorized personnel can enter."
"Are we authorized persons, or are we not authorized?" Arthur couldn't help but ask.
"System retrieval... Acting Captain Bediwell and his entourage submitted an application to enter the supply station an hour ago. This system has applied for a license to enter Area Zero for you. The authorization will be in ten
Passed in seconds, ten, nine, eight..."
"Oh, great." The werewolf shrugged: "Eve, you originally planned to let us enter Area Zero to die, right? You actually planned all this! You heartless, cold-blooded computer!"
"The authorization was successfully passed." Eve ignored Bedivere's scolding and said without emotion: "Acting Captain Bedivere and his entourage, a total of four people, can now enter Area Zero."
A ray of ice-blue light shot out from the body of the golden scarab, forming a fixed path on the ground, guiding Bediwell and the others into the area that the system wanted them to enter.
"Huhu, why are you angry, Bedi." Arthur smiled mischievously: "Eve plans to let us in to solve the problem of biochemical leakage in this place. In this case, let's just take a trip. This
It's just everyone getting what they need, it's very fair. ------Eve, when you said there were four people in the entourage, did you include Evan and Tristan? But they are outside the zenith and can't get in.
?"
"This transport ship will set off immediately to pick them up." Eve said without emotion.
The golden ship abandoned Bedivere and Arthur, began to rise, and headed towards the ceiling. It seemed that it should know a secret passage that could let Tristan and Ivan outside the glass ceiling in.
The golden scarab golem on Bedivere's shoulder also kept changing its shape, and finally turned into a wrist-thick ring, which was just right in shape to fit on Bedivere's wolf ears.
"Please wear this to keep in touch, Acting Captain Bedivere." Eve's voice came from the earrings, clearer than before; the holographic light emitted from the earrings for guidance was also more conspicuous. It
It even emits a faint icy blue light, illuminating the environment within a few yards around Bediville.
"Bad computer, playing tricks on people..." The werewolf was reluctant to put on the earrings, and kept secretly cursing Eve for making her own decisions.
"Let's go," Arthur urged. "It looks like Tristan and Ivan will come soon. Before joining them, let's explore the road first."
Bedivere groaned and followed the guiding light and walked at the front. They began to go deep into the dense tropical rain forest and moved forward cautiously.
They walked along the forest path, passing between countless named and unnamed shrubs and trees. The wonderful forest path seemed to be paved with special glass bricks, and there was not a single weed in it.
, it is very comfortable to walk up. The space on both sides of the path is not only covered with soil, but also covered with crystal sand, which has a different kind of elegance.
Small light blue flowers called "Breath of the Sky", which are specially designed to attract noctilucent insects, are planted on both sides of the path. They reflect a hazy blue light under the moonlight.
Thousands of noctilucent insects were attracted by the fragrance of these small flowers and lingered on both sides of the path. The light green fluorescence they emitted shone brightly on the crystal sand on the ground. These glass-like transparent sands reflected each other and illuminated the light.
It diffuses throughout the forest, making the jungle floor seem to be covered with starlight. The hazy water vapor around dilutes these starlights and spreads them everywhere. They seem to be twinkling, like real stars, competing in the misty night.
Phase shines.
So beautiful. The closer you look at Bedivere, the more you can feel the beauty of this area.
The surrounding scenery is very beautiful, and it is even more beautiful at night, shrouded in silence and tranquility. No one would have thought that there would be huge dangers lurking deep in this quiet jungle.
