Thousand Miles of Knowledge: 112 Observers—Revelation (1)
Turn on the six-sided device, and countless small light curtains emerge one by one in mid-air, arranged in an upside-down pyramid-like arrangement. Click on one of them, and the map and coordinates of a certain area will immediately appear in Qianli's mind - this turned out to be a An electronic atlas, but not a complete planet map, each light curtain represents an area, the sky is south and the north, and the span is small and large. All kinds of strange graphic logos are marked on it, without any text description, just like a wordless book.
These logos include squares, rectangles, triangles, circles, diamonds, five-pointed stars, six-pointed stars, skulls, swirls, crosses, etc., and there are color distinctions among them. data to distinguish. In addition, there are many illustrations of animals and plants.
What amazes her even more is that the earliest records of these maps can be pushed back to more than 260 years ago, but it was only 30 years ago that they were input and organized as electronic map files. It seems that there was a group of people who were responsible for exploring planet.
Qianli turned on his computer and entered one of the latest coordinates. The search result was unexpected. Only the rough area was displayed, because this coordinate was within the range of the turbid land.
Odero planet is very huge. With the development speed of human technology, the exploration should have been basically completed, but the appearance of the dirty spring has not only affected the rapid increase in the number of human beings, but also greatly slowed down the development process of technology.
The turbid air divides the continent into two regions, north and south. In order to resist the erosion of the turbid air, human beings' exploration of other unknown boundaries has gradually come to a standstill, and the establishment of each new city must undergo strict scrutiny. Because once the fortifications are started, a large area of vegetation will be destroyed. Plants are the only natural barrier against turbid air, and with every reduction, human beings are one step closer to extinction.
After thousands of years of difficult development, the center of the world has gradually formed. It is bounded by the filthy springs and headed by the two holy cities in the north and south, expanding outward step by step. And beyond the center of the world, there are still many unknown and mysterious places. Through the Eye of the Sky (a device similar to an artificial satellite), only the basic topography can be observed, and the distribution of specific bio-minerals is unknown. If there is turbid air, the signal of the eye of the sky will be disturbed, and accurate measurement cannot be performed.
Of course, it's not that no one is doing exploration work at all, it's just that the danger of exploration is extremely high, and those without abilities are incompetent. The official has never stopped exploring, but the progress is very slow and intermittent, and the results are not great. And some scattered explorers, most of whom treat the results of their explorations as private collections or for trade, have done little to fill the geographic puzzle.
Now that I have seen this atlas for thousands of miles, I know that there is still such a group specializing in planetary exploration in the world. She thought about it carefully, and there was no special mark on the two gangs, so she really couldn't guess the history.
At this time, she faintly felt that she really lacked understanding of the various forces and organizations on the planet, and that she had no other accurate information sources other than relying on the Cang Organization's inquiry system. However, using Cang Organization's query system will inevitably leave traces, which is useless to Qianli.
While thinking about it, the six-sided device suddenly beeped a few times, and then a new electronic map gradually appeared in the air.
Qianli was amazed and murmured: "This is still the Unicom mode, can you upload and supplement map data at any time?"
In other words, the exploration work of this exploration group has continued, and as long as there is one member, the map will be continuously updated. No wonder the original owner would be killed, this thing is simply a mobile treasure map library.
Qianli tried to find the information of the person who uploaded the map, and found that there were a total of 365 people's codes in the contact area, half of which were grayed out, indicating that they were in an area where the signal could not be connected. Click on one of the names, and a light curtain with a password immediately appears. Obviously, the password must be entered in order to contact the other party. Qianli suspects that these 365 people have different passwords, and it will take a lot of time to decipher them one by one.
"Explorer." Such words loomed in the corner of the light curtain, and this was the only word that existed on the map. Qianli still doesn't know that the "Explorer" is not complete. Its written records are in the hands of another person. Only the combination of the two is the real secret map.
Qianli temporarily suppressed the curiosity in his heart and put it in his pocket. If there is a chance, she will find a way to return the explorer to the owner of this organization on the premise of ensuring her own safety. More than two hundred years of hardship and perseverance, it would be too sad to be left in the hands of irrelevant outsiders.
Qianli understands how precious it is, and it is not so noble that it is hidden from use. When she returns to the city, she will copy the map, which can be used as a reference for future journeys.
What she is eager to solve at the moment is the mutual exclusion of the turbid aura in her and Char.
In the next few days, Qianli and Char have been walking on the border of the forest. Once people are found, they will avoid them in advance. In addition to collecting spiritual wood rules, they will continue to evolve their power. Or sit cross-legged and practice with eyes closed; or try to make contact and find patterns in each collision.
After repeated attempts and failures again and again, the distance of 5 meters is always an insurmountable barrier. But the mood of the two people gradually changed during the contact. Char's irritability and tyranny tend to be calm and comfortable, and Qianli's calm and quiet become agile and active. The evolution of the two has gradually synchronized, and the law has begun to appear.
Qianli woke up from the meditation, and Char, who was 5 meters away, immediately noticed it and opened his eyes at the same time.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"There is a... turbid person a thousand meters away."
Charle said lazily: "Do you want me to solve it?"
A thousand miles shook his head. In fact, the turbid person had been following them for two days. Strangely, his performance did not look like a turbid person. If it weren't for the turbid energy fluctuations in his body, she almost thought it was just an ordinary ability user.
His method of prey is also amazing, by designing traps, or entering the forest and using mechanical weapons to hunt. In the past two days, he has never carried out a senseless killing, and it seems that he is not affected by the turbid air, and his actions and judgments are no different from ordinary people.
This is an incredible thing for a turbid person.
Thousands of miles are curious, and will meet this special turbid person.
As a result, on the third day, he took the initiative to appear in front of them.
This is a boy of no more than twelve or thirteen years old. He is very ordinary in appearance and stature, with uneven hair and worn and worn clothes. He has apparently lived alone in the wild for a long time. His expression was solemn, his eyes were calm and unwavering, independent of the mountains and trees, and indifferent. Although there is no conversation yet, Qianli feels unfathomable.
"Who are you?" Qianli asked.
"On."
"Are you... a turbid person?"
"Yes." The boy named "Kai" looked at Char. Char glared at him coldly, but couldn't find any mood swings in his eyes.
"Why are you following us?" Qianli asked again.
"Just wanted to see, you guys." Kai replied calmly.
"Look at us?" Qianli was even more suspicious and couldn't help but ask again: "Who are you?"
"On."
Thousands of miles paused and changed the question: "Why did you become a turbid person?"
"I just want to see the turbidized world."
Just want to see the turbidized world?
Thousands of miles hesitantly said: "Did you actively choose to be turbid?"
"Yes." Kai answered lightly.
"Then why are you able to keep your mind after being clouded?"
"I have answered your 5 questions." Qi said slowly, "The sixth question is up to you to find the answer."
After that, Qi kept following Qianli and Char, without saying a word.
Qianli is so curious about this boy named "Qi". According to his physical characteristics, she searched the computer for missing persons in recent years, while secretly observing his behavior patterns.
Qi has a calmness and indifference that does not match his age. He does things in a hurry, and his appetite is fixed, and he does not waste, even if he has calculated it in advance.
The energy fluctuations on his body are the most stable he has ever seen in a thousand miles, but his attributes are so special that the type cannot be analyzed. Originally wanted to find clues when he was hunting, but he didn't want to use his abilities even if he was hunting.
The main equipment on his body, in addition to the computer in his hand, is two energy guns and a dagger, all of which are very old in style. Relying on these things, he can live safely at the border?
The only thing Qianli can be sure of right now is that the boy's ability must be intelligence.
I couldn't find any information about Kai on the computer, but after more than 20 hours of observation, Qianli gradually had some guesses.
During a hunt, Kai was scratched by a dying beast, his arm was torn off and a large piece of flesh was torn away, bleeding profusely. Tears welled up in his eyes immediately, but his expression remained indifferent as usual.
Qianli draws a conclusion from this: Kai has pain, but no emotion.
In order to verify this guess, she focused on his expression, as she guessed, no matter what Kai did, there was no mood swing, just like a robot.
Why do people have no emotions? People are called people not only because they can think and create, but also because they have emotions and personalities that beasts do not have.
Kai is different, he doesn't seem to have emotions, and he doesn't have the hope that any creature should have. He eats only to live, he sleeps only for physical needs.
The erosion of turbid air on people first affects the body and then the brain. Destroys the human mind, turning it into a walking dead driven by hunger, bloodlust and violence. But if a person has no emotions and is in a state of absolute thinking, there is no need to fear turbid qi. However, no matter how ruthless a person is, it is impossible to have no mood swings...
The addition of such a child around him, aside from the occasional distraction to pay attention to his actions, did not affect Qianli and Char's training. Not only Qianli, but even Charle has no obvious hostility to Qi. He was like air at times, without a sense of existence.
Five days later, Qianli and Char's power finally broke through. The energy was condensed and converged into the body, and the original 5-meter boundary completely disappeared.
The evolution of the two people this time was flat and unwavering, like returning to the original, they simultaneously woke up from their deep consciousness, reached out and shook hands, the air gently swayed a circle of ripples, brushing through the forest and the turbid land, expanding into the distance.
Kai watched quietly, then turned to look in the direction of the filthy spring with deep eyes.
As Char's demonic energy condensed and stabilized, the filthy springs also changed. The creatures sleeping in the springs gradually showed signs of awakening. That was because they absorbed the turbid energy of the springs and received them from the springs. A powerful monster bred.
The turbid air evolves, and a new round of turbid air erosion is about to appear.
"Wei Qianli, I'm leaving." Qi suddenly said to the two of them.
For a thousand miles, she didn't seem to tell him her name. How did he know?
Qi said again: "If you have any questions in the future, you can come and ask me."
“How can I contact you then?”
"You'll know." After saying this, Kai turned to leave.
Kai, who is he?
The author has something to say: Thank you for your support. Yesterday was mainly because I was in a bad mood, but I don't usually care about it.
My update speed is really not fast. I have to motivate myself occasionally to fight hard. My coding speed is slag. In addition to the time it takes to conceive, sometimes I have to write 4 or 5 chapters. Hours, the highest record is a certain rest day, and it took 7 hours for a chapter of 3000+...
Reading novels can make people feel relaxed and happy, and they don't want to bring their personal affairs into the novel, so you don't have to worry about me anymore, it's fine. Happy writing, happy reading. ~_~
