Chapter 34: Mirage and Lost Country

"Time stands still?" Shi Chu felt that his throat was a little dry.

Nima, this is basically a divine skill, well, not only can it be used to kill people and rob goods, it should be said that it is a divine skill that is useful for everything!

Zhang Zongrui spread his hands, "Of course, it's not magical enough to keep still forever. There is a time limit. So far, I can't stay still for more than 1 minute."

"That is to say, stand still for at most 1 minute?"

"Ah."

That's not bad, 1 minute is enough to do a lot.

"So, I will find a way to get that book. Is there any more specific information?"

Shi Chu shook his head, "Zhou Fengrui doesn't know much about this aspect. On the surface, he is from Captain Zhao Xin's side, and Captain Zhao Xin represents the interests of a lieutenant general named Hu Fuze. In fact, Zhou Fengrui had already It has already been bought by Dr. Yang."

Every belly has nine twists and eighteen bends.

"It seems that the only way to go is to find that Yin Meng."

"She lives with a female researcher, and I want to find a chance for her to be alone." Shi Chu said with a frown.

Zhang Zongrui shrugged, "Okay, don't think about it now, let's rest first, after all, we are not made of iron, and we still have to work hard."

That's right, it's true... It's hard work, especially when the camp looks peaceful, but in fact it's really turbulent. This kind of danger is more terrifying than the external danger.

It seems that people have become smaller, and their minds have also become smaller together?

"Perhaps the only good news is that there is a clue about Wuling." Shi Chu comforted himself.

When he fell down and lay down, it didn't take long for Shi Chu to fall into a deep sleep.

For the next period of time, it can be described as safe and sound, advancing all the way forward, transport soldiers continue to transport their achievements back, and new transport soldiers often come to join them, the communication station has already been repaired, there are domestic With the satellite pictures sent from time to time, they can avoid some of the most dangerous areas in advance. Even so, encounters with some herbivores are still inevitable.

The important thing is that Yin Meng almost never leaves alone.

In this way, they pushed forward along the established route. Seeing that the road was getting more and more difficult, two of the researchers fell down and couldn't get up. They followed the transport soldiers back to the rear contact station.

If he hadn't known in advance, Shi Chu would probably have thought that this was a united team with sincere efforts, those fearless soldiers and sacrificial researchers ignored personal gains and losses, and only considered the interests of the country and the collective.

It's a pity, hehe.

Peeling off this layer of illusion, the things below make people tremble, just like a time bomb buried under the peaceful camp, which may explode at any time, how can it not cause people to worry.

It dragged on for more than a month, and finally, Xia Lin came and said to Shi Chu, "There is no need to ask Yin Meng, the book is in Ding Hong's hands."

"How do you know?" Shi Chu asked strangely.

Lilith, who was lying on her shoulders, yawned, seemingly sleepy, "I saw it in his dream."

"...in a dream?"

Charlene nodded, "Lilith is the incarnation of the forest banshee. She not only knows illusions, but also possesses the ability to peek into dreams, although this ability is not very stable."

Lilith said dissatisfiedly: "You don't need to add the last sentence."

"Now Lilith has to maintain the illusion on her body all day long, and her strength is much weaker. What she saw in Ding Hong's dream was just fragments, and she couldn't see what the book looked like, but what is certain is that the dream Ding Hong in the book is very sure that the book is on his body."

Zhang Zongrui said from the side, "What if he didn't actually get it, but he just thought he got it in his dream?"

"This possibility is not high," Charlene explained. "Dreams are actually very deep subconscious minds. Although they are often very absurd, such things that involve reality, even Ding Hong wants to get this book in his dreams. But there is no such detailed picture of reading the book. This is not only related to the book, but also the content of the book. The content is not very useful."

Things haven't made much progress in such a long time, and Charlene is also anxious, after all, she and Shi Chu were the ones who received the task.

Zhang Zongrui nodded, "Understood, I will find a way to get this book."

Charlene looked at him, "Do you have a solution?"

"Trust him." Shi Chu said bluntly, "He will find a way to get it." Then he looked at Zhang Zongrui, "As soon as possible."

"I know."

Now that she has said that, Charlene can only choose to trust Zhang Zongrui, "If you need help, ask at any time."

"it is good."

Of course, Shi Chu didn't think Zhang Zongrui needed any help.

It is not so easy to get this book out of Ding Hong's hands, not to mention that his surroundings are heavily guarded, if the various forces in the camp are all for this purpose, this book is definitely wanted by all parties Although Ding Hong's power seems to be the biggest, he still hasn't found out who hit him during the bird attack that day. He had to make some mistakes, so he must be very cautious after getting the book. If he couldn't trust other people, he would either carry it with him, or put it in a place that only he knew.

The camp has been moving, which makes it much more difficult to hide things.

For Ding Hong, nowhere is safe.

A week later, Zhang Zongrui returned safely and said with a smile, "It seems we need to have a meeting."

Shi Chu and Charlene understood.

The group of them naturally didn't have any issues of trust or distrust, unlike other forces who might be bribed at any time, so everyone returned to Daisy's tree house and gathered together.

Zhang Zongrui took out a book from his personal backpack. It had a hard cover. It seemed to be quite old, and there were some signs of wear and tear on the corners. The cover was solid black. The title of the book was very strange. Written in a seal script.

"This book seems to be in European style, why is the title so strange." Shi Chu said, this seems quite inconsistent.

Charlene looked at Lilith, who nodded, "That's it, it's the same as what I saw in his dream."

"Sure enough, Ding Hong couldn't rest assured of other people, because the camp kept moving and couldn't find any truly safe place," Zhang Zongrui laughed, "Then, he put this book together with his personal certificates and confidential documents. , locked in his personal safe."

"safe?"

"Well, so it took me a week to find an opportunity." Zhang Zongrui avoided the important ones.

Shi Chu stared at the book, "Then, let's open it and have a look."

If it is really related to Wuling, or if it is a key item to find Wuling, they can't afford to be nervous about it.

It has been almost half a year since they came to this world, and they don't have that much time. According to the map, there is still a long way to Wuling. They don't know how many accidents there will be along the way. Of course, they hope to complete the task as soon as possible. .

Zhang Zongrui opened the book, and Shi Chu stared at it with wide eyes, only to find that... Fuck, he couldn't understand a single word.

"What the hell is this, a heavenly book?" Shi Chu pointed to the book and said confidently.

Gongsun Yu laughed at the side, "It seems to be Xiaozhuan, let me take a look."

Zhang Zongrui shook his head, "I think the important thing is not what is written here, but this—" He turned back to the middle and opened the book at once.

Charlene leaned over, "Hey, this is..."

In the middle of the book, there was such a thing inlaid, it was probably slightly narrower than the book, round, like the surface, there was a layer of glass protecting the precision instruments inside, and there were more than a dozen large and small gears. Twenty of them are divided into silver and gold, turning quietly, and then, there is a translucent thin needle on it, which looks like made of crystal, very beautiful, lying quietly in the center, like a very delicate piece The face of the watch is the same, only bigger and has only one pointer.

"I think this should be what they are vying for." Zhang Zongrui said with certainty.

"Could it be like a compass that follows the direction of the pointer?" Shi Chu was puzzled, simply picked up the book, and took a few steps in a different direction, but the gears were still running, but the pointer did not move at all.

Gongsun Yu suddenly said, "Those words are not necessarily useless." He waved his hand, signaling Shi Chu to turn the book back to the first page, and he quickly glanced at it.

As a famous arrester of that era, Gongsun Yu was originally from a good background, and his family was even originally a scholarly family. Although he was a bit in decline, he was also enlightened at the age of five. He studied for many years, and even suffered a catastrophe later. He was rescued by his master before abandoning literature and pursuing martial arts.

"...This is very similar to a book," Gongsun Yu tried hard to think about the wording, which was not available in their era, how to classify such books in this era, "Oh yes, popular science books." He still Seeing this word for the first time in this world.

"Popular science books?"

"Well," Gongsun Yu turned back page by page, "Although I don't know why it is written in Xiaozhuan, but judging from the narrative style, it is even more like the vernacular style of this era."

Shi Chu frowned, "Perhaps the person who wrote this book deliberately did not want people to understand it. After all, the appearance of the book is obviously not an ancient book."

However, Gongsun Yu became more and more surprised the more he read it. He was so surprised that he didn't reply to their words, but just flipped through the book intently.

"What exactly are you talking about?" Shi Chu almost died of anxiety.

"It's strange..." Gongsun Yu raised his head, "Before you said that Ding Hong revealed his intentions, that there is a treasure in Wuling, right?"

"Yes, that's what he said, and he also said that no one can resist this temptation."

Zhang Zongrui suddenly said, "Actually, it's quite strange to think about it. For this world, what kind of treasure is called a treasure? They are not short of money, including some precious metals. They have never been short of such resources. You can also see Now, the jewelry in those jewelry stores is actually very cheap, especially compared to our world, it is unbelievably cheap. So, just treasures in the general sense are really so attractive to them ?"

Gongsun Yu nodded, "You are right, so what is said in this book should be true. Because of this, everyone wants to fight for the things that can find Wuling. I said, this is a popular science The reading material, in other words, is a Wuling popular science reading material."

"Popular science books?"

"In other words," Gongsun Yu smiled wryly, "this is a book introducing Wuling, from climate to land, flora and fauna, to livable conditions, etc., it is written in great detail. If it's just this, of course it's nothing special. Yes, it's special because...the animals and plants written in it are probably of normal size."

"What do you mean?"

"Some of the words used in it are a bit interesting, for example, it will talk about the bamboo shoots that are half a person's height, the plantain that crawls on the ground, or the hares that appear in the plains are fat, and they are as long as an arm when they are lifted..."

Shi Chu's eyes widened, "That is to say, the species, all the species there are the normal size we are familiar with, right?"

"That's right." Gongsun Yu closed the book and said with certainty.

Shi Chu suddenly became a little terrified, "Then, is it because the things there have also become smaller like people, or does it mean that people will grow back to their normal size as soon as they return to Wuling?"

No wonder, for Ding Hong and the others, Wuling is a treasure land full of treasures. In their hearts, they naturally can't think of the possibility of anyone becoming bigger. They can only think that there are strange and never-before-seen species everywhere. To obtain these species, this discovery alone is enough to make them very rich, not to mention that if some things are circulated on the black market, the benefits may be unimaginable.

"I don't know about this, it's not written in the book, but according to the climate and landforms written in the book, it should be an island, a flat island." Gongsunyu said, "It's just very strange, it's a floating island. island."

"Floating island?"

"Well, an... island that moves and doesn't stay in one place."

Zhang Zongrui thought, "So it makes sense why humans can't find it, why they need this book and this watch-like compass."

Gongsunyu sighed, "I wonder why there is such a big floating island. If people go to Wuling, it will return to its normal size. According to the size of Wuling written in this book... this island should be as big as Enough to fill some areas offshore."

Charlene was taken aback, "So, could it be that the animals and plants on that island are the same as humans - have they shrunk?"

No one can get the answer unless they reach Wuling and can go up to have a look.

Shi Chu was a little worried, but also a little looking forward, always feeling that after that, there was still a huge secret hidden.

They were sitting opposite each other in silence, but suddenly they heard the piercing siren in their ears.

The sound of the siren was a type they hadn't heard in the past few months.

They reflected for a while, Shi Chu suddenly jumped up——

"The highest level of alert!"

Yes, the highest level of alarm, this is the first time they have heard such a level of alarm after they participated in the eastward expansion plan.

this means……

There is an irresistible threat at the camp.

This kind of threat usually comes from the outside, and soon, Shi Chu felt the earth tremble.

This time, it's not as simple as a deer and a flock of birds.
