Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 1897 Asgard

They were about to reach the finish line. They naturally couldn't watch their companions being poisoned and dying at this distance. They used up their last bit of strength to carry their poisoned teammates and ran towards the teleportation array of the Rainbow Bridge. As the teleportation array flashed with a rainbow light, they disappeared into Vanaheim, which was full of poison.

As their figures disappeared, when they reappeared, they had arrived at the ruins of a battlefield that had existed for thousands of years.

It was just different from every ruin they had experienced. The moment they were teleported out, everyone subconsciously covered their eyes because they saw light, a blinding light.

It was different from the cold light brought by magic, and also different from the dim light of gas lamps. This was a light that was truly like the sun, shining down from the high sky.

Looking outside the Rainbow Bridge, the vast land was dotted with green. In the cracks of the ruined Fairy Palace, plants were growing tenaciously. The plants growing in the ruins were far from lush. But for these light seekers who had never seen wild plants, this scene was shocking enough.

"We succeeded. We finally found the light!" Wendell was the first to cheer. They didn't expect that they would actually succeed. The light appeared before their eyes. The air here is breathable. The plants here can grow. For them who have been barely surviving in the shield, it is simply heaven.

"See? We finally found the light. We have finally completed the mission of the light seekers!" Wendell's patient Andrew has been poisoned.

The fresh air and bright sunshine made Andrew, who was on the verge of death, open his eyes as if he had a last breath of life. He stretched out his hand against the direction of the light as if he wanted to touch the sunlight, but in the end he touched nothing. His palm slowly fell down. After using up almost all the medicine, this brave explorer did not survive after all, but at least he fell in the light.

Lan Nuo had no way to save everyone. Being able to lead everyone to this point with the least sacrifice was already the limit of what he could do.

"Everyone, don't relax too quickly. The most urgent thing now is to pass this message back. We don't have much supplies on us, especially food and water. We don't carry much of these. It's very difficult to support the return journey. My suggestion is to turn off the machine and the armor on our bodies first, save fuel and collect supplies. Since there are plants growing here, I can make starch and collect clean water. After we replenish the supplies, we will try to return by the original route. As for exploring here, I think it is completely unnecessary and unsafe.

We are not sure if there are other survivors here, nor are we sure if they have good intentions towards us. The most important thing is to bring back the news that it is possible to survive here. It is best to leave the detailed exploration for the next time we come."

Lanno's proposal was approved by Wendel. This space was too large and no one could predict the dangers that might be hidden in it.

Since wild plants can survive, then larger animals and even intelligent creatures may not be unable to survive. In-depth exploration carries the risk of annihilation. Once they die, there will never be another search for light, and no one will ever know that there is a paradise here where people can survive.

"There is still one problem. We must find a way to make the Steam Council believe that we have really found the light and the land suitable for survival.

Since the Illusion Paradise incident, thousands of elite personnel with various professional skills have died in the dark night. The Steam Council's trust in us has dropped sharply. Even if most of us return alive, it will be difficult to convince them to use a large amount of manpower and resources to accompany us in the next round of exploration.

So while we are gathering supplies for our return, we also need to find enough evidence to prove that we have been to Asgard."

Tanarossa also nodded and said, "We must not only prove that we have been to Asgard, but also prove that the environment here is suitable for human survival. I think the best way is to collect some animals and plants here that do not exist in Twilight City.

A plant that does not exist in Twilight City at all. It is the most convincing evidence for the members of the Steam Council. We may be able to forge all kinds of signs and emblems, but obviously, we cannot forge a living plant. And nothing can prove that this place is suitable for human survival better than a living plant. "

Everyone nodded. There was indeed no better evidence than this. There were not many places to grow plants inside the shield of Twilight City. This was because artificial light and sufficient water were provided. Otherwise, it would be difficult for even a wild plant to be born.

It is even more impossible to do so in a place like this, where there are lush greenery and various mutated weeds growing.

This land full of life is filled with evidence that can convince the Steam Parliament.

As a scholar, Tanarosa knew all the plants living in the City of Vision very well, so he could easily tell which plants on the scene did not belong to the Twilight City. He picked out a bright plant that looked the most special, and even ordinary people could tell that it definitely did not belong to the Twilight City. He carefully dug it out together with the soil underneath, and put it into a sealed jar that he had originally used to hold water. Next, they would carry this jar through mountains and rivers, and cross all the difficulties and dangers again to return to the Twilight City.

In addition to collecting evidence, the most important thing for everyone now is to collect water and food. It is uncertain whether these wild plants can be used as food, but they do not need to know whether these wild plants are edible. It is enough to pick them all back.

Lan Nuo found something like a cauldron in the ruins. Maybe it was a bathtub, or a giant's washbasin, or the ruins of a fountain. In short, it could be used as a huge pot. A large number of unknown plants were piled up in the cauldron. Lan Nuo and Helena used ice magic to condense a large amount of clean water. They first washed the plants to make sure there was no dust. Then they chopped them up and threw them into the cauldron to boil, so as to ensure that no harmful bacteria and viruses survived.

Then Lan Nuo took out the bacteria from the small bottle he carried with him. This was essential for grain making. The foundation of this kind of magic was to use microorganisms as a medium to catalyze the decomposition of plant cell walls, breaking down long-chain cell wall macromolecules into starch. The starch was then purified.

As sticky bubbles emerged from the cauldron like a classical magic ritual, starch and waste began to stratify in the big country. The originally turbid yellow glass now turned milky white. Everyone used their own containers to scoop out the milky white sticky substances. Then they lay on a plastic sheet and let the sun dry these starch blocks as food reserves. In addition, some starch with more impurities was left behind. Lan Nuo changed another strain of bacteria and put it in, and sealed it to a certain extent.

This step is brewing wine, and the fuel they have is obviously insufficient. After a long journey and crossing various obstacles, their mechas have consumed too much energy. If they want to return the same way, they have to refuel the mechas. There is basically no hope of synthesizing fuel in the industrial environment here, but it is still possible to make some alcohol to replace fuel as the power source of the power armor on their bodies.

In the past, when there was an extreme shortage of fuel, airplanes could be started with alcohol. This shows that internal combustion engines are not as picky about fuel as imagined.

Lanno produced a large amount of alcohol and distilled it several times to ensure its purity. The materials needed for the return trip were basically collected. The most important thing they carried with them was the amulet to resist magic radiation, because it was almost impossible to get supplies in Asgard. Food, water and even fuel could be produced with simple conditions, but the amulet that could resist magic radiation could not be produced. It must be produced in a professional magic workshop. There were too many conditions lacking here.

Therefore, when they chose to carry supplies, they would carry more than enough amulets so that they could use them when they returned.

This time, only four people chose to return together, and the rest continued to live here, surviving in the wilderness in this vast natural environment.

The biggest reason for making this choice is to collect as many medicine amulets as possible from everyone, to ensure that everyone has enough supplies to cross the harsh environment of Vanaheim and the harsh environment of the magma lake, and finally find the car parked at the teleportation point.

Lano and Wendel led the team back with everyone. The four of them carried more than enough supplies and teleported back to Vanaheim. Fortunately, they had marked the way along the way and did not take many detours. Now they only needed to develop these marks to ensure that they would not get lost. At the same time, during the return process, they were also reinforcing these marks, making them into very conspicuous arrows.

Make sure you can find the right path as long as you find any mark. With these marks, the difficulty of exploration for later explorers will be greatly reduced. In the future, you can also build a road along these marks to facilitate more people to migrate here.

The four of them had plenty of supplies and were wearing the best power armor, so they didn't encounter too many twists and turns along the way. They successfully crossed the pitch-black Vanaheim and the scorching lava lake, and finally found the car parked on the Rainbow Bridge.

One of the cars was still in good condition, so the four people chose to drive away two of them. This way, if the remaining people encountered an emergency and needed to return, they would not be trapped on the Rainbow Bridge without a car to use.

After finding the vehicle, the four people immediately felt safe. The abundant supplies and survival tools in the vehicle allowed them to survive easily even in the harsh environment of the nine kingdoms. After having explored the road before, they were familiar with the road this time. After crossing one continent after another with harsh environments, they finally saw a shield flashing in the distance. That was Twilight City. Countless light seekers walked out of this city, bringing back disappointing news to the city again and again. After a thousand years, they were the last light seekers in this city, and finally brought back the message of success to the city. Brought back the news of light.

The two roaring vehicles are now covered with scratches and black mud all over the body. They look miserable, but the powerful roar of the engines proves that they are in good condition.

The news of the Light Seekers' return was quickly fed back to the Steam Council by the scouts around the shield. In the past, when the Light Seekers returned, the whole city would line the streets to welcome them, regardless of whether they had found the light or how many people they had. For this group of great Light Seekers, as long as they could come back alive, they would be considered victorious, and no one would condemn their failure at that time.

But with failure after failure, as it became increasingly difficult for the Steam Parliament to maintain the city's survival, and as everyone's life became increasingly difficult, the scene of city residents lining the streets to welcome the returning Light Seekers was no longer seen.

At this moment, they were greeted only by a fully armed mecha army and serious-looking quarantine personnel.

"get off!"

The two cars were stopped by a crab mecha from a long distance away before they reached the shield. More than a dozen spider robots followed the crab mecha, forming an encirclement, ready to forcibly stop the two cars from rushing into the shield at any time.

The quarantine personnel, wearing full-body leather protective suits and carrying large cans of disinfectant on their backs, sprayed the car. After all the mud on the car was washed away, they allowed the people in the car to open the doors and get out.

Hope is the leader of this group of people. At this moment, he is looking at his father with a vigilant eye. It was because his father became a light seeker and abandoned his wife and children that led to his mother's death during her serious illness without anyone to take care of her.

Since then, Hope hated his father and the Light Seeker. Now seeing his father returning from the darkness again, he was naturally distrustful and wary. He never thought that his father could really find the light in the darkness.

"Four of us made it back alive this time, a very high survival rate! Tell me, what did you find? Did you hide in a corner right after leaving Midgard? You hid for half a month before coming back. Don't tell me you found the light. Although I never have expectations for you, I don't want to see you degenerate to the point of relying on lies and brainwashing and becoming a cult."
