Chapter 452 Buffer Zone

Two days later, Huaishi heard the sound of thunder again.

This time, after two days, the distant roar was getting closer and closer, already lingering in my ears. But when Huaishi looked up, he couldn't see the clouds.

Strictly speaking, he was right to see the cloud.

But I always feel like something is wrong.

That layer of pitch-black clouds seemed to be a layer whose transparency had been adjusted in PS software. It flashed across the sky so erratically, and then quickly disappeared.

Reflection from a mirage.

These days, as Huaishi's poetry deepens, such visions become more and more frequent. In addition to phantoms, there are even phenomena that interfere with reality.

During the day yesterday, Huaishi was awakened from her dream by the sound of an engine.

When he opened his eyes and climbed out of the tent, he saw a highway appearing in front of him, extending from the end of the hot desert to the looming city in the distance.

Cars were speeding away like that.

But soon, as if they sensed Huai Shi's prying eyes, the highway quickly disappeared, taking the distant city with it, leaving only a broken off-road vehicle parked on an abandoned and broken road.

It has been mostly buried by gravel.

Before Huai Shi went to sleep, the place was completely empty, with nothing in it.

"What the hell is this?"

Huai Shi scratched his head and watched the phantom of thunderclouds flash and disappear again in the sky, wondering what happened.

This is clearly the current situation and there is nothing wrong with it.

Extremely stable at depth.

There are no phenomena or signs of hell, but why do messy things happen frequently?

"Remaining traces of the past, right? It's hard to say, after all, anything can happen here..."

The crow fell from the sky and stepped on Huai Shi's shoulder: "You should be able to see it if you climb over the sand dunes ahead."

Huai Shi raised her head blankly, staring at the seemingly towering sand dunes next to her. She shook her head, put down her backpack, tied the rope, and began to climb up with difficulty.

If there is a stable foothold, such a climb would take no effort at all, right?

But if you want to walk smoothly on the sand dunes and avoid dangerous quicksand areas and other things buried underneath, you can only use the skills from Yubu to forcefully distribute your weight on every gravel.

Not difficult, but troublesome.

Every step takes a lot of effort.

After Huaishi climbed up the sand dune, she couldn't help but gasped several times and was stunned.

I even forgot to pull up the backpack underneath.

In front of him - where the phantom of the city had been a few days ago, he finally saw the ruins that once existed.

It is devastated, ruined, and ravaged by war. You can still vaguely distinguish broken tanks and bombers, as well as the flags of Egypt and America, and even the remaining outlines of high-rise buildings.

These were not buried by the sand because...

Huai Shi rubbed his eyes and finally confirmed that what he saw was not an illusion.

Everything in front of me... is suspended in mid-air.

The entire city seemed to have been roughly picked up, dropped to the ground, and then frozen in disintegration.

The traumas of the past are sealed in this amber-like way.

Today, the once huge ruins hang high, slowly rolling in the night wind. Like being immersed in sea water, the ups and downs are weightless.

Gravity goes awry here.

Huai Shi turned around, picked up her backpack, took out an empty can, filled it with sand and threw it forward.

After flying more than a hundred meters, the flying can stopped abruptly.

Hovering in the air.

Even the sand spilled from the mouth of the jar maintained its spreading shape and stagnated.

Even the time is abnormal.

Huai Shi swallowed and spat.

"What the hell is this?"

"BUG, haven't you seen it?" The crow calmly combed his feathers and said calmly: "This is the biggest problem in Australia. It is not dryness or desolation, but a problem that even the Astronomical Society cannot solve... No, it should be said that those guys did this on purpose."

Huai Shi was in disbelief: "Has the Zarathustra Mystery gone out of control?"

"No, in fact, the main mission of the Astronomical Society is to ensure the operation of the three major blockades. Even if it consumes more than 30% of the world's material resources every year, it must maintain the normal operation of the three major blockades."

The crow replied: "But in Australia, the situation has changed somewhat... This entire continent is Zarathustra's buffer zone, do you understand?

Zarathustra, who severed all mysteries and ushered in a new era, is an existence composed of hundreds of frames of creators, and it possesses huge power to replace the gods.

In it, five levels of inner and outer realms are constructed based on the process of creation. In addition to the realm of eternity that holds the axis of the world in the core, there are four realms named activity, formation, creation, and outflow, respectively, based on the definitions in alchemy. layer.

If you break it down further, there are seven stages, thirty-six days, ninety-one areas, and thousands of modules, each with its own function and unique meaning. The laws and data derived every moment are countless...

Such a huge system and such a complex existence cannot be absolutely perfect within it, and there will inevitably be some parts that are difficult to deal with.

Once those loopholes, bugs and endless loops accumulate too much, they will cause Zarathustra's Great Secret Instrument to overflow, leading to fatal gaps...just like a computer. "

Crow suddenly asked: "What should I do if the C drive is full?"

"Reload?" Huai Shi replied subconsciously, and immediately took a breath of air.

"That's right, reload."

The crow calmly replied: "Isolate the present state, create a partition to store important data, and then completely sink the present state, allowing it to sink into the abyss... and then build a new present state on top of it. Come.

Most people may not even have any experience, but when they close their eyes and blink, the old hen turns into a duck, and the world takes on a new look... This is the plan of annihilation circulated in the gossip within the Astronomical Society, Huaishi.

Once or twice every few hundred years, hey. "

She chuckled unintelligibly and said nothing more.

"Then...Australia?"

"Australia is a buffer zone prepared in advance to avoid frequent reloading of the secret device.

After they were originally classified as no-man's land by Egypt and the Americas, they probably thought that there were not many people around anyway, so they might as well reuse them... Of course, in addition to this, they also serve as consumables when necessary, but these are already with you. It’s irrelevant.

This is the current situation after all, no matter how bad it is, nothing will happen. "After a brief pause, Crow casually threw another huge bomb: "After all, in order to ensure the stability of the buffer zone, the Survival Institute has moved its headquarters here, so nothing will happen. "

"What the hell?!"

Huai Shi was so shocked that she almost jumped up.

"C-Survival Institute? Headquarters? Here?"

The headquarters of the Survival Institute, which is said to exist and is extremely secret, is here?

Huai Shi felt that if word got out, her perverted mother fans would be shocked for a whole year.

"Isn't this a big fuss?" Crow glanced at him in confusion: "We just passed by their door two days ago... Didn't you pee on the cactus at that time?"

Huai Shi's face turned pale instantly: "Why didn't you tell me!"

"There's no point in telling you."

Crow shook his head: "What's here is just a projection. There is nothing wrong with the physical coordinates of their headquarters existing here, but it does not mean that this is the exit.

The entire Survival Institute is hidden using overhead technology. They exist in the current situation, the border and the abyss at the same time, with roads extending in all directions.

If they don't want you to see them, you can't even see them at the door.

Relax, silly boy, just take a walk in front of the government office. So what if you are seen? Is there a sniper aiming at your head? "

Huai Shi's expression twitched.

I finally understood why my back felt cold from time to time in the past two days.

That's the Survival Institute!

The Existence Institute preserves a secret agency that seals countless ghosts. Once the door is opened, the distortion of the entire current situation will increase by 60%!

Among the three major institutions of the original Astronomical Society, the Utopia, the Administrative Bureau and the Survival Institute each had their own division of labor.

If we summarize it from the impact, then the duty of the Utopia is to pursue more corrections, and the Bureau is responsible for following closely, maintaining the situation, and ensuring that this achievement will not be lost. The last Survival Institute is responsible for reducing the distortion of the entire current situation and eliminating hidden dangers for the entire world.

Because of this, the Utopia is considered radical in its style, the Administrative Bureau is regarded as pedantic and conservative, and the Continuing Institute hides itself in mystery, and has no sense of existence most of the time.

They rarely cooperate with the governing bureau and work alone most of the time.

After they appear, there is often no grass growing in the area.

If the situation is judged to be dangerous to a certain extent, the entire area will even be completely packed away... and then burned to a convenient place to completely remove it from the situation.

Huai Shi felt her legs tremble at the thought of swaggering past the door of such a dangerous department.

"Don't worry, it's said to be the entrance, but in fact it's still dozens of depths away from the real location of the Survival Courtyard. The Survival Courtyard is not that simple a place."

The crow waved its wings calmly: "Instead of worrying about those things, you might as well worry about the present."

"Um?"

Huai Shi was at a loss.

Following her line of sight, the young man looked at the sky with billowing dark clouds in the distance: "Isn't that an illusion?"

"Although I once suspected that this was a problem caused by some abnormal mechanism, I just took a closer look... It seems that what you have been seeing is just a mirage and anomalies in the desert."

"So?" Huai Shi asked.

"Since it is a mirage, it proves that it is a phenomenon of optical refraction... You don't need me to repeat what I said in the physics book to you, right?"

Crow paused and said helplessly: "In other words, thunderclouds are real and have been accumulating and growing. In Australia's abnormal airflow and temperature, they merged into a super-large natural cloud that is enough to water the entire desert. disaster."

"Then what?" Huai Shi nodded.

"Then, it has come to the top of your head now." The crow raised its wings, looked at the feathers that were wet with thick water vapor, and nodded: "It should start in a while... So, you are still stunned What are you doing?"

"Run quickly, silly boy!"

The crow screamed in his ear:

"——The storm is coming!!!"
