Chapter 997: Boyunis Earth Rift Resettlement Area and the Underground City
When the Truth Protection Association learned that I had decided to keep the appointment and go to the Boyunis Earth Rift Resettlement Area to meet Monroe, the spiritual leader and President of the General Association, I had already left the Igsuo above-ground city.
The Association immediately blocked this news, trying their best to cover up the fact that the Calamity Witch had left.
And Tang En logically took over the temporary permissions from the Calamity Witch.
Regarding this, although some people were dissatisfied, there was nothing they could do.
The Calamity Witch was the main reason why the Igsuo above-ground city had stabilized.
Although the Power Network had been laid out, they still dared not rely on this power to confront those City-Destroying Level vanguard teams.
Therefore, borrowing the name of the Calamity Witch was in everyone's interest.
However, these people were also apprehensive of Tang En to the extreme.
Tang En very generously told them that before leaving, Lady Witch had temporarily let him take over some important permissions.
No one knew what permissions they were; perhaps it was the highest power permission of the Myriad Connection Main Network Tree, or perhaps the permission to deprive a person of using the Power Network.
In the end, although the Association had some minor twists and turns, it ultimately stabilized.
Only Tang En did not relax.
After all, during that conversation, he had been noted by Lady Witch to constantly pay attention to whether the Igsuo above-ground city would be targeted by the Myriad Worlds Terminal headquarters after she left.
If it was targeted, then Monroe could basically be pronounced problematic.
However, the Supreme Council shouldn't be that stupid, so before the Calamity Witch was formally declared dead, they wouldn't move against the Igsuo above-ground city.
With the Calamity Witch's departure, the Association's original plan to infiltrate the surrounding cities also slowed down.
After all, without the Calamity Witch at home to provide a safety net, they naturally didn't dare to extend their hands too far.
Returning the viewpoint to me.
The Boyunis Earth Rift Resettlement Area was still some distance from the Igsuo above-ground city.
The above-ground cities on both sides of the resettlement area also didn't have much to do with the Igsuo above-ground city in the fringe area.
After all, even though they were both above-ground cities, there was a huge gap.
However, even though they were far apart, for a Witch with means of flight, this wasn't an issue.
High in the sky, I saw the crack running through the earth, carved into the land like a scar on the world.
The above-ground cities on both sides flashed with fancy lights in the night sky.
With the wireless energy perpetuum mobile, the Game World enjoyed the joy of "unlimited electricity" ahead of time.
Of course, this world wasn't powered by electrical technology, but purely by Transcendent energy, basic energy facilities originating from the Void Cracks and distributed with the Myriad Worlds Terminal as the carrier.
It had to be said, being able to use the Myriad Worlds Terminal to achieve this level and lay this power to most corners of the world, it could be foreseen how bold the person who made this decision at the beginning was.
That was truly thinking for everyone in this world.
But now...
My gaze looked towards the distant horizon.
Those Chaotic Areas and beneath the Earth Rift Resettlement Areas... such a contrast truly let down the boldness of the predecessors.
According to my understanding, the above-ground cities located on the two sides of the earth rift were Gantang and Bakara.
The place names were transliterations of the Game World's language.
And the one closest to me was the Gantang above-ground city.
The construction here looked even more developed than the Igsuo above-ground city.
After all, it was the inland core area close to the Myriad Worlds Terminal headquarters.
The architectural scenery was filled with a kind of almost dreamy three-dimensional city, but the seemingly developed transportation hub seemed to me to have more decorative value than practicality.
The flow of people in the city was extremely low.
After all, it was night, but it seemed their nightlife was very indulgent.
I had no interest in understanding their lives in detail.
Finally, I just silently landed on a daily garbage loading truck.
Different from the foul stench I expected, food in this world was very scarce, which resulted in this world not having concepts like kitchen waste, and naturally, there was no fermented sour stench.
But to say it smelled good... that wasn't the case either.
The destination of this truck was above the Boyunis Earth Rift Resettlement Area.
Dumping from the top down.
I rode the truck all the way, half sightseeing and half swaying, to the destination.
Accompanied by the tilting of the garbage carriage, I finally saw the scenery below.
That was... a big net.
“Garbage incoming.!”
Accompanied by this jeer from below, the garbage poured out directly.
And in the process of falling, I also clearly saw the general full view of the Boyunis Earth Rift Resettlement Area.
The unevenness on both sides like precipices was actually all individual houses, extended and built purely by hand, extending out from those house frames constructed of material pixels.
The further down, the darker it was.
Between the precipices on both sides, crisscrossing "bridges" were strung, all built using things like garbage.
There were horizontally straight ones, diagonally upward ones, and even vertical ones.
Here it was like a modern version of a primeval forest.
Those pulled artificial structures were like vines climbing and moss clinging in a wild forest.
Ultimately, intertwining and surviving together constructed such a "harmonious" survival framework.
“Damn! Whose 1:1 life-size doll is thrown away!”
“Idiot, that's a person! A person, understand?! Dumb*ss!”
“Holy sht holy sht! Damn! That person flew away!”
“I think you've * too much and your eyes are blurry, right?”
Sounds of crude language, and bickering dialogues, constituted the vivid and colorful "harmonious" community atmosphere here.
And I also quickly disappeared from their sight.
According to my understanding, the Boyunis Earth Rift Resettlement Area had a specialized elevator structure, but that huge, towering lifting structure had long stopped operating.
It was to prevent the lowly poor of the resettlement area from running up and dirtying the eyes of the people in the above-ground city.
It could be said to be exceptionally ironic.
There were also horizontal direct structures between the two sides of the earth rift, but these structures were very scarce and very inconvenient to cross, which led to the resettlement poor here building ropes themselves for mutual communication.
As for safety hazards?
To them, it was completely no problem.
They would replace them irregularly.
As for when to replace... naturally, replace after it breaks.
Entering from a narrow passage in one area, I finally witnessed what is called an underground city.
The reason the Game World had notable above-ground cities naturally meant there were underground cities.
And the Earth Rift Resettlement Area was the "entrance" to the underground city area.
The cracks penetrating deep underground opened up natural advantages for vertical downward passages.
This was a completely different concept from the underground city of Ninglan New City.
The residents on the two cliffs of the earth rift were just the tip of the iceberg of the resettlement area.
In fact, a larger area was on the horizontal inner side.
Inside, it could be said to be a mix of fish and dragons, and there was a unique stench permeating inside.
The narrow space was packed with people, allowing me to experience so clearly for the first time what is called the smell of people.
This clone in the Game World was just an extracorporeal avatar, and many means could not be achieved yet.
For example, my understanding of the Ordinary Project could not achieve the desired effect with corresponding techniques.
In this place without rules, looking good was not a good thing.
So I simply disguised myself.
My attire and messy hair perfectly blended into this atmosphere.
Plus the understanding of the Ordinary Project, it could reduce the attention on me in others' eyes.
The underground city connected to the Boyunis Earth Rift Resettlement Area was even more complicated than I expected.
Even obtaining the three-dimensional imaging of the terrain with Earth Vein Appraisal was dazzling.
It gave the illusion of a man-made anthill.
Probably only those Old Fritters who had mixed here for years could be like fish in water here.
The concept of law in the Game World was very weak.
This world didn't even have the concept of a country.
What they followed were actually the rules within the game, and the rules within the game would also synchronize with some rules of reality, covering the effectiveness of the law.
But the binding force of these rules was at most effective in the above-ground cities with a sound order maintenance execution framework.
In the underground cities here, they basically existed in name only.
This was the place that made me sigh.
Really, any kind of world could continue to exist... but since this world could exist for so long, they also had their reasons.
According to the news Tang En gave me, their channel for obtaining information from Monroe came from the reality world.
It was some primitive means of cross-city information transmission mastered by the Association, and the distortion rate of information interpretation was very high.
Where that Association President Monroe wanted to meet me, this news was transmitted quite detailedly.
Inside the Boyunis Earth Rift Resettlement Area, in the hidden area on the lowest layer of the underground city.
And I also quickly marked this location on the Earth Vein three-dimensional map.
“That old geezer is really confident... the underground city here is so complicated, can I really find it? If I get provoked by someone here... isn't he afraid I'll directly flip this underground city?”
I spoke to myself like this, not saving any face for this guy at all.
Whether this was a means to test me, or his situation really couldn't reveal more, I had to roast it a bit.
Before going to that place, I used the authorized Seed of Great Knowledge again and used a simple Destiny Gazing Technique technique to observe the Boyunis Earth Rift Resettlement Area.
The Destiny here was very complicated and chaotic.
Perhaps my arrival had muddied the waters here, but this was unavoidable.
After all, I had to personally get involved in this matter.
But even so, I did not observe a target as highly recognizable as a Child of Destiny.
“That old geezer is also a middle-aged uncle of some age, right? If a Child of Destiny is middle-aged and still like this, it is indeed not quite appropriate.”
Muttering like this, I walked into the depths.
Even though I was mentally prepared for the situation here, I was still shocked by the bottom line of the people living here.
The resettlement area did not have formal food purchasing channels like the above-ground cities.
Or rather there were, but they had been completely controlled by certain forces.
The garbage dumped down was the food for the people at the very bottom here.
However, even so, the people in the resettlement area at least still had game equipment.
At least the penetration rate was very high.
But after understanding in detail, I learned that the source of these game equipment was renting.
It could be said that as long as someone here was playing games, they were basically moving bricks for the people in power here in the form of equipment rent.
And since the underground city needed Game Coin, that meant they were at least not absolutely unconnected with the Infinite Group.
Based on my other clones' understanding of some Chaotic Areas, there were not many game equipment there, almost to the extent of letting them fend for themselves.
Wasting a bit of time, I finally arrived at the place.
But even arriving at this place, this area was still very huge.
And according to my perception and the presentation of information, this location already belonged to the very bottom of the underground city, even lower than sea level to a certain extent.
“Hey! That old man over there! F*ck, is this a place you can stroll to when you have nothing to do! Want to go feed the fish as a corpse, huh!”
Suddenly finding fault made my figure stagnate.
The old man in their mouths was naturally my disguised appearance.
My body was somewhat hunched, so being called an old man was normal.
I was discovered by them on purpose.
After all, if I didn't create some movement, how would they know someone came here?
“Cripple! When meeting someone here, report to the boss!”
At this time, another person spoke.
“Report? That lavish big boss couldn't possibly want to see an old man, right?”
“That's right, Boss. Didn't that big boss say it would be heavily focused on a few days later? Bringing this guy over so quickly, would it...”
“Tsk... then dispose of this old thing!”
These three people guarding one of the few passages leading to this area thought with their knees for a second and then immediately waved their hands in disgust and spoke to the person called Cripple just now.
Just when they were about to dispose of me like this, I spoke in my original voice.
“You should have dutifully listened to that lavish big boss's instructions.”
As I finished saying these words in a crisp and pleasant female voice with an extremely contrasting posture.
They were instantly stunned.
Before they could even react, the two lackeys beside the person called Boss exploded in a burst of firelight.
The fleeting firelight illuminated this dimness.
The place where an old man originally stood had now changed into a young girl.
Her long hair behind her gently fluttered in the air wave raised by the Explosion Flame Spell, and the silver-white color was also reflected as orange-red in the firelight.
Seeing such a young girl whom he had never seen before, whose style was incompatible with this underground city, not even a bit of evil desire could rise in his heart.
The two exploded figures carried flesh and blood sticking to his body.
Blood splattered on his face, warm and bloody liquid flowing down his cheeks.
His legs went soft subconsciously and he knelt down.
He wanted to speak, but found that he had completely lost his voice...
“No need to beg for mercy. The things I want to know, your memory will tell me.”
I spoke gently, just as he said “dispose of that old thing” just now, casually deciding this person's life and death.
Subsequently, his body also fell down.
And the Soul-substance that was about to return to the Earth Vein cycle and the memories it carried were quickly taken over by the Earth Vein Appraisal Spell with a minimal degree of loss.
