Chapter 121 Going to the Border

Chapter 121 Heading to the border

The pterodactyl outside the sky is flying towards the jungle.

They come and go quickly.

So compared to what just happened, you will feel that it is a dream, so unreal.

Zhang Jianjun's eyes were more focused on No. 1, who had silver waves flowing all over his body. Lan Meier's knife was extremely powerful, but all the damage was automatically repaired the moment before it fell.

"T1000..." Zhang Jianjun murmured: "I didn't expect you still have such a thing."

"You also know?" Shen Yi glanced at Zhang Jianjun.

"I've never eaten pork, but I've seen pigs run away. I've never been to the Terminator mission world, but at least I've seen this movie...it's so special." Zhang Jianjun's eyes looked at Shen Yi with more and more disbelief.

How many more "magic weapons" does he have?

"That's right." Shen Yi put No. 1 into the bloody coat of arms, obviously not intending to continue this topic.

"Can you tell me how you did it?" the boy suddenly asked.

Shen Yi knew that he was referring to the pterodactyls. If Zhang Jianjun was concerned about No. 1, then the boy was more concerned about what happened just now.

He replied: "My superpower is called communication, and I can establish a conscious connection with all living things. So I tried to communicate with them. Of course, they didn't welcome me very much at first, so the reaction was a bit violent."

Shen Yi smiled bitterly and shrugged.

"Is it that simple?" The young man was a little doubtful. After thinking for a while, he added: "My power is to communicate with plants. I can observe the surroundings through them, obtain some information, and occasionally instruct them, but that is not easy. "

Shen Yi smiled: "It is indeed not easy. Every kind of life has its own unique emotions. They are not as full of joy, anger, sorrow and joy as humans, let alone have various complex expressions of meaning. As a person with low intelligence, Creatures usually only have primitive impulses and the instinct to devour flesh and blood. Death cannot threaten them, and interests cannot tempt them. They have no emotions, no reason, only a crazy desire to attack. To convince such a being is like reciting to a stone. Love letter. The worst thing is that you are not facing a stone, but a group of stones..."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi smiled bitterly.

He shook his head: "So it's impossible for me to persuade them like negotiating with others... I can't do this at all."

"Then they..." Zhang Jianjun pointed suspiciously at the pterodactyl that disappeared in the distance.

Shen Yi sighed: "I don't have the ability to make them stop killing and betraying their instincts, but at least I can make them temporarily shift their targets... I told them that there are more adventurers on the other side of the forest. They are easier to deal with. , the meat is also more fragrant. And if you don’t hurry over, it’s very likely that other ferocious beasts will rob them all, and hint to them that the meat of us people is very smelly and not delicious at all... Just put these two layers together It takes a lot of effort to express what I mean.”

Everyone suddenly realized.

Lan Meier couldn't help but interject: "Then if they can't find it..."

Shen Yi replied lazily: "They will be so angry that they will go crazy and then come back to find us. I guess even if we are really not delicious, they will have a big appetite."

Lan Meier was so frightened that she turned pale: "Wouldn't that be more troublesome?"

Shen Yi looked at Lan Meier strangely: "Do you think there is any difference between an angry butcher and a non-angry butcher for a sheep on the gallows?"

Lan Meier was speechless and speechless.

Shen Yi then sat back in the car and said: "If you don't want to be caught up by them again, just leave here before they come back to find us. Don't worry, pterodactyls have good vision, but their sense of smell is not that good. As long as we can run It's fast enough and you can easily get rid of them."

This was the real reason why he dared to deceive these ferocious beasts in the sky.

The car drove quickly away from this area full of death.

Along the way, Lan Meier kept looking back. About twenty minutes later, after confirming that the pterodactyls were not chasing after her, Lan Meier finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did she realize that she seemed to have something to express for her previous behavior, and said to Shen Yi: "I'm sorry for what happened just now..."

"I don't need to apologize." Shen Yi interrupted her: "I never like to hear words like sorry or thank you from others. In my opinion, being apologized or thanked means being taken away from me. I got benefits but got nothing in return. Unfortunately, I am a pragmatic person. I hate things that involve giving without getting anything in return. So if you want to gain my understanding, yes, please show your strength and prove your worth. , and then when I need you, make your due contribution, which is the best and most sincere apology."

Lan Meier opened her mouth. She didn't expect this man to be so direct, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

As if he heard something, Zhang Jianjun said: "With your strength, there is no need to form a team with us. Since you don't like to pay without getting anything in return, but you keep helping us, does that mean you need to use our skills?" Place? That’s why you asked us to hand over all the random teleportation scrolls.”

Shen Yi was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Yes, I am going to a place. It might be better if I can have some helpers."

"Where to go?" Zhang Jianjun asked.

After hesitating again, Shen Yi finally answered: "Border."

The so-called border, as the name suggests, is the place where the East Second District is connected to other areas. Each area has multiple borders, leading to different areas. Due to the location, this is where adventurers in this area can easily communicate with adventurers in other areas. The place of contact is therefore the most chaotic and dangerous place.

The most dangerous border is the main border between high and low difficulty areas.

Here, you not only have to be careful of the ferocious beasts in the wilderness, but also the attacks from adventurers in difficult areas.

Humans, animals, and complex terrain form a natural death zone. In this zone, no one dares to be careless.

It is worth noting that adventurers are not the only ones who can cross the border, ferocious beasts can also do so.

As long as those ferocious beasts are willing, the ferocious beasts in the third difficulty area can completely run to the second difficulty area to show off their power. Of course, for the vast majority of ferocious beasts, this behavior is more like a habitual visit and occasionally running away. Go pee in the neighbor's yard, and later in the day, you will still go back to your own place to sleep. So if you are not very lucky, you may encounter a bird or a group of birds from the highland at the border at any time. The ferocious beasts in the difficulty area. Maybe they just ran to the next door to fight the tooth festival because they were bored.

Even if you don't encounter ferocious beasts from other areas, those ferocious beasts in this area will not let you go. Compared with the ferocious beasts within the area, the ferocious beasts that can live on the border are often the most ferocious and difficult to deal with in this area. Only they dare to fight against the invasion of ferocious beasts from other areas and fight to protect their homeland.

Occasionally, they will run into difficult areas, only to be beaten back disgraced.

Of course, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

As a low-difficulty adventurer, if you can kill a ferocious beast in a high-difficulty area, you will receive double the reward. If you kill a ferocious beast in a fourth-difficulty area as a second-difficulty adventurer, you can even You can get four times the reward. Every time you increase a level, the reward is doubled.

This is the charm of wilderness.

Chaos, danger, and crises at every step, but also contains countless opportunities... Whether it is Zhang Jianjun, Lan Meier or the gardener, they all finally agreed to go to the border with Shen Yi.

It's not because they repay their kindness, but what Shen Yi said: To a sheep on the gallows, there is no difference between an angry butcher and a non-angry butcher.

The border may be dangerous, but even if they are not at the border, they still cannot face any kind of vicious beast.

In this case, it is better to go to the border with Shen Yi and hug this "big tree", which will increase the chance of survival.

What's interesting is that from the beginning when Shen Yi was inconspicuous to when Shen Yi became a "big tree" that can be relied on, it only took one day.

The black lightning was driving fast on the grassland, followed closely by two wild horses.

The grassland under the night was cool and dark, with the unique loneliness of the wilderness. Looking around, there was not a single person in sight.

Occasionally, there will be some lone beasts wandering on the grassland. Before they can get close, the car will have sped away, and then there will be angry roars from behind.

Shen Yi feels like a modern person who has traveled back to the Jurassic era, running freely in a vicissitudes of historical environment with super-era technological weapons.

There are ferocious beasts, tall trees, clear lakes, beautiful grasslands... Shen Yi suddenly remembered the photojournalists walking on the African savannah. On a whim, he asked everyone: "Do any of you have a camera?"

The young man asked Shen Yi: "Who would waste precious blood points to buy that thing?"

Shen Yi shrugged regretfully: "It's a pity. I suddenly discovered that if we could look at this wilderness from a different angle, we might have a different and beautiful feeling."

"A different and beautiful feeling?" Zhang Jianjun looked at Shen Yi in surprise: "This place only gives me the feeling of cruelty and blood, death and danger. What other good things can there be?"

"Then it depends on the angle from which you look at this problem." Shen Yi replied: "If we abandon the utilitarian perspective, don't think about rewards and so on, and imagine ourselves to be in an environment similar to the earth, You will find that this is actually a very interesting place. I mean this is a world where humans and animals are co-evolving. It perfectly reproduces the relationship between humans and nature from another angle... People live in a place with strong defenses. In the city, the wild beasts live in the suburbs. Occasionally, people will hunt wild beasts for their flesh, bones or fur. If the hunter is unlucky or not strong enough, he will be killed by the wild beasts in turn. They eat them. And when we get wealth from wild beasts, we will go to the store to sell these goods, and then exchange them for more powerful weapons so that we can hunt again, and so on... This is so consistent with the history of the earth. elephant?"

"Then what?"

"Then?" Shen Yi thought for a while and replied: "Then one day, people will kill all the wild animals and let nature become barren. So in order to preserve the last wild animals, people have to set aside an area for wild animals. They inhabited it. And since then...those once ferocious and terrifying beasts have become ornamental animals. The wilderness that once made us talk about it has become a tourist area..."

Zhang Jianjun looked at Shen Yi in surprise. He couldn't figure out how Shen Yi's mind was spinning, and he could think of such rich content. After thinking for a while, he said: "I don't know how long Bloody City has existed, but I know that the wilderness has never and cannot be as desolate as you said. If the history of the earth is the victory of civilization over barbarism, then in the bloody city, barbarism defeats civilization."

"That may be because you have never tried to change anything." Shen Yi said with a smile: "The scenery here is really good, and the looks of the ferocious beasts are also very unique. If you can take some artistic photos and post them back It is also a good enjoyment to slowly admire the walls of your residence.”

Speaking of this, Shen Yi laughed. He leaned back in the back seat, relaxing as much as possible, then closed his eyes slightly and murmured: "Imagine that we are in the beautiful Yellowstone Park Natural Resources Conservation Area." The area is like a group of tourists from Europe, wearing cameras and straw hats, capturing beautiful scenery everywhere. Occasionally, some wolves or tigers will attack us, causing us to scream, but at the same time they also bring us The excitement of life.”

He opened his eyes: "Then, we were intoxicated in this beautiful atmosphere, forgetting the troubles of the world, and threw ourselves into the embrace of nature."

Zhang Jianjun muttered: "I bet this is not the purpose of the wilderness."

"Of course, this is just an imagination." Shen Yi nodded: "The meaning of the existence of the wilderness is a simulated battlefield, and the mission world is just a training base. When one day we walk out of the training base and enter the fifth difficulty, our Life will no longer be based on training, but on adapting to this simulated battlefield, just like a battlefield internship. Until one day we complete our homework on the simulated battlefield and walk out from here, then, what greets us It will be a real battlefield..."

After talking about it, Shen Yi's voice became deeper.

"What did you say?" Zhang Jianjun asked, not hearing his last few words clearly.

Shen Yi did not answer. He just took out his handheld computer and connected it to the on-board computer: "Zeus, start a comprehensive environmental scan and information collection and analysis, and then overlap and verify the new data with the existing data."

“Is it possible to start this work later?”

"Why?"

"The new program related to the new application mode of t1000 has entered the final stage of completion. I must use all resources to make final instruction corrections."

"How much longer will it take?"

"It should be finished before dawn."

"Agree to suspend, and information collection and analysis will begin immediately upon completion."

"...I thought you would at least arrange a proper vacation for me between jobs."

"Does your understanding of human emotions only stop at the stage of laziness and enjoyment? Open your eyes and look at this beautiful grassland. The pursuit and creation of art are also extremely important components of human emotions."

"...Understood, Master. I will start collecting information immediately after dawn. Although I can't imagine what it would be like to take photos of information and information into artistic photos."

"Artistic materials... are a good idea. I hope you don't make those guys look too good." Shen Yi also laughed.

Two hours later, three cars stopped in a secluded wilderness.

Shen Yi first carefully observed the surroundings with a far-infrared telescope, and after confirming that there was no danger, he gave the order: "Frost, we are going to stay here overnight, and you arrange for manpower to be responsible for guarding, every four hours, and take turns to rest." "

The young gardener immediately said: "I can observe the surrounding area through the plants. Once any creature enters within 200 meters of the surrounding area, I will detect it."

"Not bad ability, but I would prefer an extra layer of insurance."

"You don't believe me?" The young man looked at Shen Yi.

Shen Yi paused and smiled at the young man: "No, I just believe in myself more. I hope you won't mind."

The young man shook his head.

Seeing Shen Yi walk to a big rock and open his sleeping bag, he suddenly raised his voice: "I now understand why you let your team members hand over all the equipment to you, because you have never been a person who makes people worry. people."

Shen Yi's body trembled and he turned back to look at the young man. Did he notice it after all?

"It's late, go to bed early." He said, "Have a good rest and you will have strength when fighting."

As he spoke, he got into his sleeping bag.

Perhaps because the two battles consumed so much of his energy, Shen Yi quickly fell into a deep sleep.

In a daze, he seemed to hear something.

Someone is approaching me.

When Shen Yi opened his eyes, he saw Lan Meier lying next to him, looking at him with a pair of charming eyes.

"Shh!" She made a gesture to signal Shen Yi to be quiet.

Then she got into Shen Yi's sleeping bag.

Shen Yi turned back and looked into the distance. Frost spread his hands and turned his face away.

Shen Yi smiled bitterly, Lan Meier had completely squeezed into his sleeping bag.

"It doesn't matter even if you don't fall asleep." Shen Yi replied calmly. He put his hands under the back of his head and looked at Lan Meier: "Neither you nor I care, right?"

Lan Meier paused. She obviously heard the meaning of Shen Yi's words and bit her lip slightly: "I am not such a casual woman."

"Oh?" Shen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly: "A woman ran into my sleeping bag in the middle of the night and told me that she was not such a casual woman. What do you want to explain?"

Lan Meier was stunned. Shen Yi had already pinched her chin: "It doesn't matter to me whether you are a casual woman or not, and I'm not interested in hearing your explanation. I don't mind meeting someone by chance. A woman doesn't mind paying a small amount of chips for a passion. The only question is, are you sure you just want a passion, or do you want something else by the way? If it's the former, I can satisfy you. If so If the latter is the case, then you may be disappointed. Business has to be discussed first and then done, right?"

Lan Meier's face became extremely ugly. She glared at Shen Yi fiercely, and after a while she suddenly got out of Shen Yi's sleeping bag, holding her own clothes and leaving.

Thinking about it, I felt a little unwilling and shouted at Shen Yi: "You are a bastard, Shen Yi!"

The shouting was so loud that it woke up Zhang Jianjun from his deep sleep. He rubbed his eyes and asked, "What happened?"

"Go to sleep." The young man turned around and said, "It's just a stupid woman who failed in estrus venting her anger. It's very boring..."

"Oh...that's it." Zhang Jianjun muttered and continued to sleep.
