"Can we really get out of this wilderness? I'm very suspicious. Do we really have the chance to complete our tasks? I'm very suspicious." This is a message found inside one of the houses during the inspection of each mud house. The message was engraved on the walls of the house, and the notes were crooked and messy, not like the handwriting written by a normal adult, but more like a random graffiti of a lunatic. However, the content of the message still retains rationality. Perhaps the person who left the message could no longer control his inner irritability and anxiety. He wrote it out casually to vent his emotions. It was not for anyone to read, but for himself.
"We can't get out, we can't get out." "I can't stand it anymore, I want to go back." "Why can they still go on? Why?" "Don't they doubt their decision?" "Are we really going forward?" "We must have gone wrong and must be constantly teleported back to the starting point." "Why is this happening, why can't we go out." "Are they the first time they have come?" "Why can we be so sure, why don't hesitate at all, why are we so skilled." "Ahhhhh, I want to go back, I must go back tomorrow."
The messy handwriting is engraved on the tilted walls in a row. Through the handwriting, you can almost see the chaotic and desperate eyes of someone forty years ago. Before setting off, members of an adventure team can choose whether to follow the team leader or make plans, and they can argue with each other as much as possible. There is no problem with this, but once the adventure starts and once the plan is determined, everyone must try their best to obey the command of the leader. This is the most basic condition for survival in a dangerous environment. Therefore, during the day, this chaos and despair are hidden in the hearts because of the prestige of the two leaders. However, when you are alone at night, despair is like a fierce giant python, tightly entangling the hearts of the soldiers. The tighter and tighter, you can't find a chance to breathe.
"I finally know why the elves named this place the Bone Burial Land at first." Lina looked at the edge of the grassland that was getting closer and closer in the distance, recalling the murmurs I saw in the camp not long ago, and breathed a sigh of relief: "People who don't understand here rushed in rashly. If they are not determined, this place will probably become their Bone Burial Land, no matter how well they prepared before. Tsk tsk, the Bone Burial Land is a very appropriate name."
In fact, as Lina said, this area seems normal, but it hides a lot of danger. Even if it has not become a forbidden place for living creatures in the Third Age, there is no exception. Because this danger is not caused by external objects, but by the environment where the fragments of space are accumulated. Even if all the fragments of space are spread out, there are only tens of thousands of square kilometers here, which is not particularly large for adventurers who can get here. If you keep walking towards the target like the expedition team forty years ago and take four or five days to walk out of here intact, it looks like it is easy and simple. However, this simplicity and ease prerequisite is that you must always walk towards a target and you cannot hesitate at all.
People who have entered here for the first time cannot find abnormalities in the environment. However, unless they know exactly where each space fragment overlaps, there is no solution to this. The only way is to keep going. However, it is not that simple to keep going in this area. The less firm the will or the more suspicious the person is, the less likely it is to do it. When you take the previous step, you can still see the way you come, but when you take the next step, the behind you become
There is nothing but grass and wild flowers. Even the footprints left before have disappeared, as if they are just appearing suddenly in their current position. This sense of contrast is not something that everyone can bear, or that most people cannot bear. It is difficult for people not to doubt their decisions. Moreover, the later the journey, the closer they are to the edge of the fragmented area, the more obvious the doubts are. It is not difficult to imagine that they see grass through the wilderness.
The edge of the ping is right in front of you. You have clearly seen hope of leaving, but after walking a few more steps, there is another grassland that has dozens of kilometers in front of you, which has become a situation where there is nothing at the end of your vision. This process from hope to despair is the most cruel torture in your heart. Even if the person who believed in your judgment before, he would inevitably wander between hope and despair countless times, doubt or even deny his previous judgment, and turn to other directions. However, once the defense line of will is lost for the first time, once the direction is started to change, the self-doubt will become more and more serious, and the frequency of changing direction will become more and more frequent. The only result in the end is to keep traveling between space debris and never find a way out. Even if you see this boundary that may be only a few hundred meters away from them, they will no longer believe in their eyes. In the end, they will fall down due to hunger and fatigue at a place that is only a few hundred meters away from hope.
"I doubt how many pioneers have fallen here, dying from hunger, thirst, fatigue, and even dying from mutual murder after the collapse of trust?" Freya speculated maliciously that His Highness's grasp of human nature made her completely imagine the process of those people from firmness to doubt, from trust to suspicion. Her fleshy face was filled with a slightly mocking smile like a poet who saw through the world, and she said chantingly: "Suspicion, wisdom is born because of you, doubt, life is dead because of you."
"Don't use Marick's sigh here, that's not appropriate." Catherine turned around and glanced at the princess who was sighing: "What the dark philosopher lamented was that the suspicion between people was completely different from the situation here. And, don't forget that four years after he sighed, he killed his wife and committed suicide because he suspected that his wife fell in love with someone else. But afterwards, his suspicion was only caused by a misunderstanding, and it was not a fact at all. It's impossible not to say that this is the biggest irony. Why, do you want to learn it too? But that's right, think about it, if we didn't lead Eva, can we stick to our own judgment and go through the grassland to the boundary like we are now? Anyway, I don't dare to be so sure that I can do it."
"It's really difficult." His Highness did not hide his thoughts: "But the problem is that after we find the problem, our first choice is to turn around and leave the wasteland to find other ways out. Therefore, your problem is not valid."
"That's because the scope of the forbidden area of living things has expanded now. Even if you bypass this grassland, there are other ways out, but that was not the case back then. They only have this way to choose from." Catherine said with a lip silence: "And you are talking about another question. Don't change the topic."
"Okay okay, I admit my defeat, I admit my mistake." Freya raised her hand and said, "I will no longer laugh at what I can't do. To be honest, doing this is indeed very low-level."
"Put it aside if you laugh or not. That's not important at all." Vivian interrupted the two girls' small dispute, raised his staff and pointed at the front: "The problem now is that we are about to walk out of this strange area, and then the bigger problem is that I seem to see something bad."
"What did you see?" As soon as Vivian raised his staff, His Highness subconsciously hugged his head and took a few steps back. He found that he was not going to hit him, so he coughed, pretended that nothing had happened, and released the Hawkeye technique to himself. He squinted his eyes and said, "It's just a camp. Why is it strange? But the location of it appears is quite strange. According to time, they shouldn't camp here, Ava, when is the time they camped?"
"The specific incident cannot be judged because it is outside the space debris area, and the Geological Research Center has not set up an image collection equipment there." Eva shook her head and said, "However, they left the debris area at 11:47 in the afternoon. According to the distance, it should be no later than 2:00 in the afternoon."
"It seems that their mental pressure is really great. As soon as they leave the fragmented area, they have to stop and rest. I'm afraid they are on the verge of collapse. Not only the person who left the message, but the others just haven't written it down." Freya said: "But is this a bad thing?"
"Does all the scholars of your Colossus school respect details as much as you?" Vivian said with a disdain: "Of course I'm not talking about the camp, but the one next to it."
"Stop kidding. If we ignore the details, the puppet can't move at all. But you won't say it clearly. Who knows what you are referring to?" Freya would never give in this regard and retorted fiercely, but the voice went from big to small, and in the end almost even the sound disappeared, because she also saw the object Vivian pointed to, her face became a little heavy, and she whispered: "That's... the tomb and the tombstone. Didn't anyone last until the end of leaving?"
The moment he heard the tombstone, the soft girls in their hearts thought of many things, uneasiness, fear, despair, and madness. Then, in the second before hope came, they chose to end their lives in order to escape the despair that might come again. There are actually many such situations, so many that the girls would not be surprised by this. What the girls felt was only a deep sorrow, and they were sad for the loser who had not persevered until the end.
"Go and have a look." Catherine sighed and shook her head helplessly: "Although he did not support it until the end, no matter what, we should pay our respects to the deceased who was ahead."
[The 515 is coming soon. I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list. By May 15th, the red envelope rain can give back to readers and promote works. It is also love, so it will definitely be better!] (~^~)
ps: Thanks to book friend Li Minghu for his two monthly tickets.
Thanks to book friend Maomao Fox for his monthly ticket.
ps: I'm here again. After the last time, the Knight Xiangbei Mage Xiangnan (now known as the top magic student), I will share with you a book. It is also a Western fantasy novel, the name is "The Era of Power". The author is also a person who writes books with sincerity and diligence. The quality of the book is very good, the setting is relatively rigorous, and the results are of course very bad, hahahaha. Okay, don't joke, let's say it seriously, the quality of the book is very good, oh, I've said this, ahem, in general, some elements that I don't have in my book are all in his books. I want to see big scenes, Western epic wars, the deception of the top leaders, the depression of the bottom, the passionate, and the unyielding, can be found in this book. If friends happen to be in short supply of books, then don't let it go, it may be your taste.
In addition, this book has 300,000 words, which is not fat, but it is definitely not just born, and the most delicious thing is that it is still the public version, free stuff, you know.
Chapter completed!
