Chapter 173 Shadow Civilization

The house that Zou Lianshan and others regarded as a treasure, in Lin Qun's eyes, was actually a dilapidated house with air leakage from all sides.

The only good thing is that I don’t know why the gray-black fog is thin here, and there are no dark matter monsters.

But this is meaningless to Lin Qun, he doesn't like it at all.

He could understand their cautious attitude.

After all, times are different now, so be careful when sailing.

Moreover, Lin Qun was also letting them go.

He also didn't tell his actual situation.

But the progress was still very smooth. Lin Qun handed them the ham sausage in his hands. Zou Lianshan and others were as excited as anything. The woman with the tentacles behind her head grabbed a ham sausage with a look of anticipation on her face. He seemed to want to eat immediately, but after looking at Lin Qun, he silently pressed down the ham sausage in his hand.

But it can be seen that they have a good relationship. There are more than a dozen ham sausages in this handful, but there is no problem in the distribution. Zou Lianshan handed out one ham sausage by himself, and kept the rest by himself.

Just looking at their excitement, Lin Qun couldn't help but think to himself: If they knew about my meat-and-vegetarian and nutritionally balanced meals at the Sixth Prison Survivor Base in the Demon City, what would they look like?

In fact, not too long has passed since the global battlefield started, less than a month, but the world has changed too much, and too many things have happened.

At this time, seeing that Lin Qun had no ill intentions, Zou Lianshan obviously relaxed a little and said: "If you want to know the information about the Territory Lord, I can tell you..."

"No, let's start with what's going on here... What kind of creatures are these contestants here?"

Zou Lianshan and others looked at each other, and they felt more and more that something was not right with Lin Qun, but after all, they were not bad people after taking the things, so they said honestly: "They are a shadow civilization!"

"Shadow civilization?"

Lin Qun frowned.

Only then did Zou Lianshan speak eloquently.

In fact, most of them are not from the Magic City. They either went out before the early landing occurred, or came here from the surrounding areas of the Magic City. Later, the situation changed and no one could leave. They were all trapped. Here.

According to Zou Lianshan, when the Demon City was first blocked, he was on the edge of the blockade and saw with his own eyes the terrifying light curtain falling from the sky.

From then on, the world inside became separated from the world outside.

At that time, they felt that they were lucky, at least they had avoided the early landing in the Magic City. Everyone knew that this was not a good thing.

Subsequently, they were centralized managed by the military.

As Lin Qun learned from Li Zheng, not all of the army in Magic City entered Magic City, and a large part of them were outside the city, because at that time the Federation also had little knowledge of the situation on the civilized battlefield and did not know what to do. is correct.

But Zou Lianshan and his team were too low-level. They didn't know the specific situation of the army that was blocked outside the Demon City at that time. They only knew the general direction.

"I only know that during the two days of early landing, the military outside the Magic City has been thinking of ways to break in, but it seems to be useless. Moreover, at that time, although the network was not interrupted, the Internet was useless. Good news, at least a dozen cities all over the world were blocked, and there was chaos inside and outside the Federation... Then for some reason, on the second night of the early landing, there seemed to be disagreements among the top military officials, and some people separated. , go to Lucheng.

"There are still some people who stayed. At that time, our group of survivors were separated like this. At that time, no one knew what to do. We all thought that the Demonic City is an international metropolis after all. Regardless of the Federation, How not to give up, it's safer here...

"But...who would have thought? On the third day of early landing, the global battlefield opened, and a terrifying shadow appeared in the sky. At that time, the blocking light curtain of the Magic City briefly disappeared. Unfortunately, the time was too short, and the military There was no time to send anyone in.

"Then, black rain fell from the sky. At first we thought it was rain, but it wasn't until it fell that we discovered that it was not rain at all, but something like ashes. They did not all fall to the ground, but floated in the sky and fell on the ground, everywhere. They are all, that is the prototype of the fog now, but there was not such a big fog here at that time, and those creatures...

“Those monsters, they will produce more of this substance, making this place darker and darker, making it more and more invisible.

"And the terrifying shadow that first appeared also fell down. It was several hundred meters long, but it did not fall to the ground and could crawl on the gray-black fog...

"——That is the shadow civilization and their domain masters.

"Then, then it was all over.

"A large number of monsters appeared...

"They are all the lives of shadow civilization...

"Those monsters can cling to all dark places, and they fall along the black ashes.

“They don’t have vital points in the conventional sense, and they don’t have fragile bodies like ours. They can survive being riddled with bullets. Unless they are burned with fire, they are almost impossible to kill.

"And what's even more terrifying is that they can also awaken the 'shadows' of living people. In places where there is gray and black fog, and people who have been exposed to gray and black fog, their shadows will come to life and become the same as those shadow civilization creatures. The same monster, but it can also turn into a human shape: a black shadow like a human.

"Of course, I didn't know all this until later, because at that time, it was very chaotic. We were all ordinary people. Even if we had some innate abilities - in fact, my innate abilities were a little better than ordinary people - but at that time, we were ordinary people. What consciousness can there be?

"My friends and I ran and ran as hard as we could, and there were only a few people left around us, including the military and our people. The fog was getting bigger and bigger, and we wanted to We ran out, but we couldn't even find the direction. The compass was broken. We had no idea what was happening. We were so confused that this was already their world.

"We basically all met each other later, and all our original acquaintances have basically died in these days.

"There should be very few living people in the entire Demon City now...

"In this fog, there are at least hundreds of thousands of shadow civilization lives!"

When Zou Lianshan said this, he frowned deeply, took out a crumpled cigarette from his arms, lit it and took two puffs, shook it out and put it back into his arms, waiting to take another puff next time. He looked like He was afraid that Lin Qun would be frightened after hearing this, and said: "But don't worry too much. Although these monsters from the shadow civilization are weird, they rely on the gray and black fog to kill people. Without the fog, be careful, they are not particularly powerful. , and they don’t dare to leave the fog... If we can get out, they may not even chase us..."

According to Zou Lianshan and others, they did not actually get closer to the edge of the magic city blockade area by themselves, because this place is deep in the fog, and only fools would come here. Who doesn't know that the further in, the harder it is to get out?

There are hundreds of thousands of shadow civilization life forms. Only the shadow civilization creatures close to the blockade area have a low density. They have no choice. In order to avoid the shadow civilization creatures, they can only retreat all the way to their current position.

There is no chance to explore outside.

In fact, they also understand that where there are many shadow civilization creatures, there may be a way out of the gray-black fog, but in this foggy world, even the most powerful magic city outside the blockade area can't do it, and they can't kill them.

This is actually the reason why Zou Lianshan and the others bumped into Lin Qun here.

According to them, they and most of the remaining living humans are almost all in the nearby area.

From this perspective, it is not so much that they are trapped in the fog, but that they are unable to break through the blockade of the shadow civilization, and can only be forced to live in space, lingering under the shadow of the power of the shadow civilization.

Lin Qun frowned deeply as he listened, but in his mind he gradually pieced together an outline of everything that had happened in the entire Magic City area in the past.

Sure enough, these dark material life forms are a civilization.

Moreover, it was the civilization that wanted to land in the Magic City at that time.

That terrifying shadow.

At that time, the early landing ended, and the first phase of the blockade of Bakatan was automatically lifted, and the inside and outside of the magic city were connected again. Everyone saw that scene, but then the Bakatan civilization immediately paid more contribution points and re-blocked this shadow civilization. Their lives were blocked outside, but they did not go elsewhere, but expanded their world outside.

Arriving outside the closed area of ​​the magic city.

Lin Qun also saw the huge monster Zou Lianshan mentioned.

Now he could confirm that the shadow he saw at that moment was no accident.

However, these creatures of shadow civilization are really weird. They can actually "reproduce offspring" through human shadows.

Yes, it is about reproducing offspring, because after Lin Qun killed his own shadow, he gained a contribution point, which proved that his shadow "lived" and became a shadow civilization creature. Only alien civilization creatures with complete body and mind Only then will they be counted as contestants. Clones and artificial people are not even counted. Killing that shadow can obtain contribution points, which proves that it has fully met the standards of a "contestant" of the shadow civilization. .

And judging from the "forest shadow" itself, it even has clear consciousness and behavioral abilities... This means that it is by no means as "innocent" as a newborn.

This makes people feel even more weird and crazy.

What kind of race and civilization can rapidly proliferate and reproduce in this way?

But Lin Qun can figure out why there are fewer shadow civilization monsters the closer to the blockade area. On the one hand, it may indeed be that they want to intentionally drive humans in one direction, but on the other hand, it is obviously because the shadow civilization knows very well that here It is another battlefield. The humans and Bakatans in the Demon City will definitely win or lose, and the blockade of the Demon City will be lifted.

Once the blockade is lifted, the so-called border area close to the blockade area will immediately become the frontline battlefield, so a buffer zone must be left.

Unfortunately, Zou Lianshan is just an ordinary person, and the information he understands and observes is very limited.

Especially about the military.

Lin Qun knew that at this time, even if the military might have been dispersed or even suffered heavy losses, the military could still provide comprehensive information.

But now he has no choice.

It's not easy to meet a few people in this gray-black fog.

And if it is true as Zou Lianshan said, almost all the humans outside the closed area of ​​the magic city have been killed, it will be even more difficult to encounter them now.

Lin Qun still believed in this.

Due to the unique hunting methods of the fog and the creatures of the shadow civilization, it is indeed difficult for humans to survive in this environment. The living conditions here are even worse than those in the blockade area of ​​the Magic City. With such low visibility, it is difficult to rescue each other even if they are five or six meters apart. The creatures of the shadow civilization seem to be everywhere. This is the world of the creatures of the shadow civilization, and humans are living targets. After more than 20 days, it is normal that the survival rate is not high. Judging from the average strength of Zou Lianshan and others, and the fact that they have not encountered anyone from the world in the fog for several hours after the blockade of the Magic City was lifted, the same judgment can be made.

At this stage, those who are not strong should all be dead.

Even if these creatures of the shadow civilization in the gray-black fog are nothing after leaving the fog, the problem is that they are now in the fog, and from the current situation, the coverage of this gray-black fog is not small.

The number of people is too small, so the blockade of the Magic City was lifted, and no one found it, and no one walked into the blockade of the main urban area of ​​the Magic City from outside the blockade area.

If Lin Qun hadn't rushed in, Mark 46 would have attracted some attention, and if he had been discovered and reminded, Lin Qun might not have met Zou Lianshan and his men.

Lin Qun thought about it, he had too many questions, so he picked an important one first: "How do we get out of here? How big is the coverage of this gray-black fog? You have been trapped here for more than 20 days, haven't you tried to get out?"

"We don't know... We lost our way..." Zou Lianshan looked at Lin Qun strangely, and he felt more and more that Lin Qun came from outside. Because the blockade time of the Magic City blockade area has not ended, he naturally ruled out the possibility that Lin Qun came from the depths of the Magic City.

But he didn't ask more, and still answered, "Moreover, this is their world. Except for a few 'low fog areas', other places are very dangerous. If you go out, you will be attacked and die before you can go far. We have been trying to find a route, but... We can only find the light curtain of the Magic City blockade area, but the road outside is...

"Now, this place is like a huge spider web, and we are all trapped in it.

"The shadow civilization set up this fog to prevent us prey from escaping, so..."

At this point, their expressions were a little gloomy.

Behind him, a young man said: "Brother, you are from outside, right? I think your equipment should be valuable, and you are quite powerful, but it's useless. I advise you not to think about it. Do you know the first in the magic city? His contribution points are over a thousand, and he has been wandering for a long time and has not been able to go out. Moreover, before your shadow died, he called the domain master. The domain master and his "generals" may have already targeted you, and you can't leave... Entering here is bad luck for you."

Lin Qun knew nothing about the shadow civilization and the situation here. They had naturally judged Lin Qun as someone from outside.

Seeing that the young man had revealed the truth, Zou Lianshan thought about it and said with a little hope: "Don't listen to Xiao He's threats. As long as we are alive, there is hope. We will be able to get out sooner or later. Brother, do you remember the direction you came in?"

Zou Lianshan felt that since Lin Qun came from outside, if they could find the way back, they might be able to escape from this gray-black foggy world.

But what they didn't know was that Lin Qun didn't come from outside, he came from inside.
