Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 1030 Message in the Darkness of the Wilderness
Chen Yan hid this camera here a long time ago, and has never entered the wilderness from this location since. The camera must have run out of power.

It seems to be because there is no such thing as "dust" in the wilderness, and it also seems to be because the environment is relatively humid. There are no traces of dirt on the camera of relatively good quality, and the beautiful matte metal body is just like Chen Yan's before March. Just got the look of it.

However, after more than three months, when Chen Yan saw this thing now, he felt a sense of reminiscing about the vicissitudes of life.

Surprisingly, he turned over the camera lens and found that the camera was still recording.

He had no intention of putting this camera to any great use before, and now he was just checking the video, hoping that Mr. Mogwen had returned here before, so as to judge whether he was too far away from here.

He operated the camera's closed-source operating system, which was quite rudimentary compared to today's times. He clicked the stop recording button, then entered the file page and opened the video files of the past three months.

He plays the video file faster.

In the first few days, the images captured by the camera were almost unchanged - focused moonlight, slightly cold brown grass under the moonlight, rooms destroyed and eroded by desolation...

A few days later, a group of hunters supported each other and came to this hut. They seemed to have suffered heavy losses in the darkness of the wilderness. Chen Yan even saw varying degrees of disability among several of them. The most serious one had both arms missing and was able to The only weapons he uses to fight are the short sword in his mouth and his legs.

The situation of the wilderness hunters was really tragic. Chen Yan thought to himself that they were the dead. They were bound to the borders of this world and could not escape. Facing the desolation, they had no other choice but to resist. This might be... their destination.

The wilderness hunters rested here for two days. Judging from the sounds captured on the camera, they had discussed repairing the hunter cabin, but they were unable to contact the outside world, not even the zoo.

They have no contact channels with the zoo, and more importantly, they don’t have cell phones.

They stand in the ruins of the past, abandoned by the times in the darkness.

The initiator of all this was naturally the arrogant Byron Weiss Zoo Director, William Master.

Chen Yan could even figure out the principal's explanation for this issue -

'They have contributed to my great cause, which is better than living a humble life as ants in this world. They should be proud of this, because their sacrifice has become part of the force that opens a new dawn for mankind. '

Chen Yan recovered his mind and continued reading.

The group of hunters left the hut after resting.

After a long period of time, nothing happened in the hut.

Until a few days ago.

The person who entered the hut from the darkness was somewhat beyond Chen Yan's expectations.

The man was wearing a pair of heavy rusty iron boots, a severely faded evening gown, a round hat with bright parrot feathers on his head, and in his hand was a rusty cane covered with barnacles - it turned out to be the third uncle!Liang Ansheng!

'Uncle San was allowed into the wilderness by the zoo!

The last time I met him at the zoo when I just went to the island chain, he seemed to be very secretive about the wilderness.

What has he experienced?What do you want to do now? '

Liang Ansheng walked into the hut, looked up at the moonlight breaking through the darkness in the sky, and looked thoughtful.

He came to the machine that guided the moonlight in the corner, raised his cane, and stabbed it in hard.

A small cry of pain comes from the camera.

Liang Ansheng pulled out his cane and saw that the tip of the cane was stained with a little liquid - it seemed to be the blood of something that attracted the moonlight.

He walked towards the darkness of the wilderness. As he approached the darkness, a ray of moonlight deflected and fell on him.

'That's okay too? ! '

Chen Yan immediately realized that it was not the monster's ability in the machine that attracted Moonlight, but the monster itself!

The third uncle just walked into the wilderness.

In the next two days or so, no one else appeared in the video. The only change was that the monster's ability to attract moonlight seemed to have weakened.

'Uncle San's tetanus rod caused damage to the monster in the machine, and its ability to attract moonlight became weaker. '

It became weaker, but did not continue to weaken. The noise made by the monster became much smaller, and the amount of moonlight it attracted no longer changed.

Two days later, the third uncle's figure entered the hunter's cabin again from the opposite direction to before.

'Um?Back again? '

This time, the third uncle stood in the hunter's cabin and waited for several hours, then took out the phone and dialed:
"We only had 13 minutes but I found a lot, so to make a long story short."

Chen Yan thought to himself that according to the calculations of "Lagrange's First Law", there is indeed only a dozen minutes of signal communication time between the wilderness and the real world.

The third uncle spoke, and he spoke very quickly, so the vicissitudes of his voice seemed more aggressive:
"Based on our previous guesses, my first important discovery is that the wilderness is not just a large plain as we imagined - the wilderness is round, just like the current world.

Since the wilderness is round, why is it called the border of the world by countless predecessors of previous generations?
This place can be called another world.

The only explanation - as the previous generation meant, [border] is not actually a [border line], but a [border anchor] in a certain spatial sense. "

After he finished speaking, the person on the other end of the phone obviously responded, but even if Chen Yan turned the video sound to the maximum, he couldn't hear what the other party said. He could only hear a burst of noisy electricity.

After the noisy sound of electricity, the third uncle immediately responded:

“Yes, I’m also wondering if [The Wilderness] could be somewhere deep in the [Dark Zone].

The characteristics of [Dark Zone] are very similar to [Wilderness] - they are both unknown places where electrical signals are difficult to penetrate, both are extremely dark spaces with strong [Space Light Devouring] characteristics, and are both considered Relics from previous generations are buried in the border areas of [Plane Space]. "

Huh? !Listening to what Uncle San said, it seems like this is really the case!
"From another perspective, [Wildness], as the border of the world, connects all deeper worlds. So, this fact itself means that - [Wildness] is actually bordering the [Dark Zone], [Dark Zone] The border area of ​​the district is part of the wilderness."

Faced with his third uncle's increasingly "reliable" conjectures, Chen Yan suddenly had countless daydreams.

"So, from the information we can get, can we assume that [Wilderness] is actually a planet deep in the [Dark Zone], a place that spacecraft can reach." "If this conclusion can be verified, This means that one thing is true - the so-called "deeper world" is actually just other planets in the galaxy and sea. We were once unable to reach it through normal means and could only reach it through the "Gate of Transcendence".

Now, with starships, we can reach any [deeper world].

Even...the BIOS you often talk about. "

When the third uncle said this, Chen Yan already felt that conjecture was greater than reasoning and became unreliable.

The person on the other side of the phone was obviously talking to Uncle San.

A smile appeared on the third uncle's pale and swollen face like a drowned person:

"Of course, these are just my guesses.

The reason why I made such a guess was just because I wanted to regain my life. I stayed in a dark place for too long and had forgotten the appearance of the sun. If [Wildness] is really connected to [Dark Zone], then, If I can start from [Wilderness] and head towards the sky, can I return to Yanan City? "

"Haha, don't be nervous, I was just joking.

The director gave me a chance, and I will definitely repay him. "

"Speaking of which, Lawrence, you have been following the director for so long, do you know what he is going to do?"

"Hehe, I know this is not what I should ask, but aren't you curious? The so-called [New Dawn], but you and I, who are inhumane, have to change together."

The person on the other end of the phone was Lawrence, the zoo's agent. Chen Yan had not contacted him for nearly three months and had no idea how he was doing.

The third uncle said that Lawrence was "inhuman", which meant that Lawrence was not a human either. Chen Yan had actually guessed this situation early on. How could someone only exist on the phone?

I just don’t know what Lawrence’s identity is.

While Chen Yan was thinking a few thoughts, his third uncle spoke again:
"Speaking of which, Lawrence, the director said last time that he wanted to build a server room in Starlink. I think you can fight for it. After this village, there will be no such store.

The last time you opened a server in the island chain, you gave up the position of agent to that bastard Jihak out of thin air. In fact, I feel very sorry. Although the aquarium is his home court, the director should not neglect the old man. Not a human being? "

"You can still say it, but you have to let people talk."

He spoke very fast and with a strong tone, giving Lawrence no chance to refute.

"This time Starlink opens a new server. I think it is the biggest promotion opportunity in recent years. Starlink will indeed expand in the future, but how long will it take for a central city like STR-56 to appear?

You and I both know that it is impossible to have a central city of this size in recent years - the reason why this city is built to be so large and will be connected to the surface in the future is to create a stable rear area for the expeditionary force. "

"What did you say? Ark? Now the Ark has become a joke! The [Apakalpus] brought by the legendary [Apocalypse] only affected the first island chain, and even the second island chain Not a single piece of land has been scraped off! [Apocalypse] is no longer a thing to be afraid of, and no one will mention [Saromair] anymore!"

The words written by Third Uncle are full of confusion. Perhaps this is because he was affected by the snake blood in his body?
"The STR-56 server is of great significance! Think about it, this server runs as the second core of the big data processing center. All the dirty work that Turing cannot handle in the big data processing center is done by the director. Got it covered, if I can get access to this information, maybe I can find a way to bring you back to earth?!"

Hmm... Chen Yan knew that the zoo was indeed run as a server, but he had not known before that the zoo dealt with shady information - what the third uncle called "dirty work".

Chen Yan learned a lot during the call with his third uncle. He didn't expect that he would get this information unexpectedly...

This information was valuable, supplementing his unknown knowledge about the zoo and broadening his horizons from another perspective.

The dispute between the third uncle and Lawrence is getting stronger and stronger.

"Do I want to return to the world? Of course I want to return to the world! I'm just emphasizing that it's still what you need! Think of your daughter! Lawrence! Your daughter is only in her 20s now, exactly. When you need father's protection! If you can go back..."

"I know how powerful the director is? I also know that you are a coward! You will hide in that phone line buried in the ground for the rest of your life! Even if you know that your daughter needs you to protect her!"

When the third uncle said this, his body suddenly stiffened slightly, and then he moved the phone away from his ear.

Then he made another call.

"The glowing object was found two kilometers directly behind the hunter's cabin... Do you know what you are talking about?"

"I remember, didn't three squads just die there? You dare to go directly like this? I have told you before that hunting is not your responsibility, defense is what you should do!"

"There's no way? There's nothing we can do! We won't go if we have no other way! Who will be responsible for the loss of manpower! Can you be responsible for their deaths!"

"Mr. Mogwen, watch your tone."

"Just retreat. The legendary [luminous object in the wilderness] does not exist. Even if it appears, it will definitely be regarded as a trap by the wilderness."

"There is nothing we can do about the hunter cabin. Firstly, I have no resources, and secondly, the superiors will not approve the repair of the camp. Now is an extraordinary period, and all the manpower has been allocated to the server."

"Well, okay, I'll contact you next time I come."

After the third uncle finished speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared on the spot - just like when he came.

The rest of the footage was uneventful.

After watching the video, Chen Yan only had three thoughts in his mind:
If the director wants to build a server in Starlink, people will definitely die.

Mr. Mogwen is alive!

There's something glowing behind the cabin!

Chen Yan originally did a lot of ideological construction before entering the wilderness, and was prepared that this trip would most likely be in vain - the wilderness is so big, and there is no vision at all, how could it be possible to easily find the location of the luminous substance?

I didn’t expect to get information about luminous objects so easily!
Chen Yan was excited. If he could get the luminous object and the director helped make the [Stabilizer], he could enter the BIOS and communicate with his wishes at any time. It would be better than waiting in a daze to get out of the [Dark Zone] completely by luck. 】Quantum technology discovered!

Out of caution, he pointed to the moonlight generator in the corner of the cabin and said to Swarm:

"Take that thing with you and let's go!"
