Walking down step by step along the entrance of the cave, Shen Yi carefully slowed down his pace.
I originally thought this was just a staircase leading to a secret place, but I didn't expect that it would be extremely long all the way down.
Walking to the back, you will find a dark and deep underground passage.
If this passage was dug manually, then it can only be said that the factory itself is huge enough.
Shen Yi and Wen Wen could only walk forward along the passage for about twenty minutes before finally seeing the exit.
When we walked out of the passage, our eyes suddenly opened up.
They found themselves in a new valley. It was obviously located in the heart of the mountain, with no roads on all sides. Flowers were blooming everywhere in the valley, and there was a mountain spring flowing down not far away. There were no ferocious and terrifying beasts, but it was a vast landscape. A paradise-like place.
On the other side of the valley, there are actually houses made of thatched grass.
Shen Yi and Wen Wen looked at each other and walked towards the house at the same time.
When I arrived at the house, I saw that it was also in a dilapidated state. There was a lot of dust in the thatched house, and it had obviously been uninhabited for a long time.
Fortunately, there are no ferocious beasts to harass us here, so everything remains as it is.
"Shen Yi, come here!" A gentle voice came from behind the room.
Shen Yi walked over quickly and saw seven or eight tombs standing behind the house.
One of the tombs is open, with a corpse lying quietly inside. There is a row of words engraved on the stone tablet in front of the tomb:
Tomb of Shen Ruixia.
"It seems that everyone here is dead." Wen Wen sighed: "This Shen Ruixia should be the last one to die... She dug a grave for herself and lay down in it when her death was approaching. Since she was the last to die, even There was no one to level the earth for her, so she could only leave the tomb open like this."
Shen Yi's eyes fell on another small grave not far away.
It says:
The grave of his beloved son Yin Lu, who died at the age of seven.
Wen Wen also noticed the inscription above.
She said softly: "Huh? The tomb of my beloved son Yin Lu? Seven years old? Shen Yi, what is going on? Could it be that..."
Shen Yi nodded lightly: "They should have been born after coming to this world. There is no reason for the city to bring a seven-year-old child into this world."
Wen Wenwen quickly walked over and looked at the tombs one after another.
While looking at it, he said in a deep voice: "They are all mother and son or mother and daughter tombs, four pairs in total."
"Without a husband?" Shen Yi didn't look at it, just looked around.
"No."
"They should have died outside." Shen Yi sighed deeply: "I think I know where this place is. This is a paradise that former adventurers created for their children."
"So...it was possible to have children in the bloody city?"
"To be precise, it was the wilderness of the past." Shen Yi replied leisurely.
Suddenly seeing something, Shen Yi jumped into the tomb named Shen Ruixia, took out something from under the bones, and smiled at Wen Wen: "Maybe this thing can tell us something."
That's a diary.
Open the diary and see the first line:
"On the 12th day after I came to this world, I finally got a notebook. I was very excited. Although it had no function, Xiaobo said that we could use it to record our experiences. Although I didn't think it had any function. , but since it’s what Xiaobo said, I might as well do it.”
"This is a hell-like world, full of terrible monsters. In order to survive, we have to unite and fight desperately. Surprisingly, there seems to be some kind of powerful power here that makes us... Becoming stronger and more powerful in battle. Xia Ning likes the feeling of power he gets after killing monsters. He said that this is not hell, but a paradise for human evolution. But I feel that this is hell. I can start from He could see in his eyes that something frightening was growing in his heart."
"On the 20th day after arriving in this world, record: We killed a terrible monster at the cost of three lives, and now there are only 11 of us left."
"On the 28th day, a day worth recording, we finally walked out of the terrible forest and found a camp - a camp built by the castaways. They called themselves adventurers and told us that this place was called Death camp, a strange world controlled by unknown beings, they call it Overlord. Our only meaning here is to kill, train, and grow until one day, we become the perfect warriors that Overlord needs..."
"Unknown life... dominates..." Shen Yi chewed on these two terms involuntarily: "So, this world is indeed controlled by other lives."
Although Shen Yi had suspected from the beginning that it was not humans who created all this, it was not until this moment that they were truly confirmed.
Open the diary and continue reading. Most of what is recorded later is the battle process of some adventurers.
What interests Shen Yi is that according to records, adventurers mostly fight directly against ferocious beasts in the wilderness, and there is no so-called mission world. The abilities of adventurers are entirely obtained by killing ferocious beasts, and there is also no complete mission world. Skill system.
They seem to be living in a wild world, with no ability system, no cities, only endless battles and death, and the adventurers' death probability is even more astonishingly high.
"On the 138th day, an unforgettable day, Xia Ning went crazy! Like a wild beast, he chased and killed everyone in the camp. He became extremely powerful and extremely terrifying. He was completely lost. He was immersed in crazy killing and even challenged the master... He was obliterated by the master."
"On the 142nd day. Jiarui left, Brother Li left, and four powerful adventurers also left. Xiaobo said that they were all adventurers who had broken through the fifth level and were selected by the master and became the master. warriors. I don’t know who they are going to fight, but I know that the defense of the camp has been weakened again. Everyone is in a very depressed mood, because tomorrow... is the day when the beast tide attacks again."
"On the 146th day, the terrible beast tide finally ended. There were 139 people left in the camp, only one-third... I survived."
"Day 158, record: I'm pregnant, it's Xiaobo's. What should I do? What should I do?"
Shen Yi and Wen Wen sighed at the same time.
Although they only spoke a few words, at that moment, Shen Yi and Wen Wen still felt the fear and uneasiness in the heart of this woman named Shen Ruixia.
With a slight sigh, Shen Yi turned to the next page.
"On Day 175, Xiaobo told me very excitedly that he had discovered a place that was a paradise. There were no ferocious beasts and no danger of death. We could live quietly there, away from everything. I I doubt whether things will be so simple, but Xiaobo has already made up his mind. He decided to create a future for our unborn child. He began to win over adventurers everywhere, trying to build a castle outside that paradise to defend the land. ."
"On the 188th day, Xiaobo contacted about forty adventurers. We started to take advantage of the hunting opportunity to go here and started building the castle and opening underground passages. This was destined to be a long-lasting project, but for the sake of the children, Everyone risked their lives. We had to find a safe space for our children and ourselves. In order to keep it secret, Xiaobo decided that all participants would die in batches until everyone left the camp."
What follows is mostly a narration of the painstaking construction of the castle. Shen Yi quickly flipped through a few pages and finally saw:
"On the 334th day, the castle was finally built, and everyone was very excited. Xiaobo said that the castle is very strong, and we can withstand even if the beast tide comes, I hope so. I can feel that the child in my belly wants to come out. The little guy always kicks me playfully. He doesn’t know what kind of environment he will be born into..."
"On the 362nd day, the secret was finally revealed. The big leader of the camp found us and asked us to give up the castle. Xiaobo firmly disagreed. When the big leader left, his eyes were very hateful. After he left, Xiaobo chased after him... He killed the big boss."
"On the 395th day, a new wave of beasts came. We blocked the beast wave under the cover of the castle, but the camp was destroyed. Today Xiaobo told me that he had broken through the fifth level for a long time. I was surprised. He was How did he hide it from the master? Xiaobo said that he didn't know, but not only him, but others also began to break through the fifth level. He found that the master was not omniscient. He felt that maybe he could resist the master. This idea terrible……"
Seeing this, Shen Yi and Wen Wen looked at each other at the same time, with a strange light bursting out of their eyes.
They didn't say anything, Shen Yi continued to turn to the next page:
"On the 412th day, the child was born. He was a boy. He was very cute. Xiaobo named him Yin Lu."
"On day 445, is the peaceful life finally coming to an end? Xiaobo has not come back for four consecutive days. What happened? My heart is very confused."
"On the 462nd day, Xiaobo finally came back! God, he was injured, very seriously. He told me that he went far away, looking for other camps. He found it, and he tried to contact them and resist the master. .Oh my God, he is really crazy. I saw a kind of fanaticism in his eyes, which I have seen in Xia Ning's eyes before. I am so scared...I am afraid that he will completely fall into addiction. Master …It’s not something we can fight against.”
"On the 486th day, Taoyuan's second child was born, and Xiaolu was finally no longer alone. However, the time the fathers stayed here became less and less. I know what they are planning..."
"On the 513th day, I heard the news that another camp was destroyed. Not by the beast tide, but by the master. They tried to resist the master, and the master came to punish the troops. I advised Xiaobo not to do dangerous things again. , but he is really crazy, does not listen to me, and does not even care about the life and death of his children. I know that sooner or later, they will all die... He is heading towards the point of no return."
"On the 592nd day, Xiaobo suddenly came back covered in blood. He told me that the resistance failed. The master already knew everything and the punishment troops were about to arrive. Interestingly, this day also happened to be the day when the beast tide arrived. Xiaobo I hope to use the tide of beasts to fight against the opponent again."
"Day 595. Blood, blood everywhere, even the air is full of the smell of blood. There are dead people everywhere, Xiaobo is dead, Han Ping is dead, Jerry is dead, everyone is dead, only There are eight of us. But they also killed many enemies... I finally saw the punishment team. It turned out that they were the punishment team... Jiarui, Brother Li, those adventurers who once broke through the fifth level, They came back and wielded the butcher knife against their former partners..."
"Brother Li didn't kill me. He still remembers me, the little girl who gave him medicine... He said that resistance is not meaningless. The master has realized the mistake and is working hard to correct it. In the near future, here
There will be changes, and the adventurers will no longer be the same as before... Although he didn't know how big the change was. After he left, I asked him what would happen if the master found out that we were still alive? Brother Li said... The master
Not God, not omniscient, not omnipotent.”
"We survived, in this valley."
"There is no longer any threat to life, and we are far away from the bloody life."
"But our man is dead."
"They fought for the peace they have now with their own resistance."
"Maybe not just now."
"Brother Li came to see us a few days ago. He said that there have been changes outside. The Overlord will no longer appear openly. Instead, there will be bloody emblems that will appear on every adventurer. The Overlord believes that the Lord must
To maintain authority, you must first maintain mystery. So they no longer come out to contact humans, but invented bloody emblems to control humans directly through instructions."
"Brother Li sighed and said that the masters have not really understood human beings. Their methods are only effective for a while. But as long as there is still resistance, one day, people will get the treatment they deserve, and no one knows when that day will come.
.But Brother Li calls our era the first era, and the changed era is the second era. And the era that Xiaobo and Brother Li long for may not appear until the third era."
