Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 656 Lava Volcano
"Lily, where did you find this?"

Kong Zhe hurriedly asked.

"No, it's here!"

Lily pointed to the rock beside her.

"When I came, this herb was thrown under this stone."

Kong Zhe stepped forward and looked at the rock.

Perhaps it has been devastated by the strong wind here for hundreds of thousands of years. The surface of this stone is full of uneven marks, and massive gravel crystals have condensed in many places.

This is a very common stone in the desert, but one difference is that one side of this boulder is unexpectedly flat, which is very abrupt compared with other strange-shaped stones around.

Kong Zhe stepped forward and stroked the surface of the boulder, and felt the rubbing sensation of fine gravel from his fingers.

If... this herb was really left by Xiaolei, then, did she also stop in front of this stone?
Did he also touch the surface of the boulder as he did now?
Kong Zhe suddenly found that the boulder in front of him looked familiar.

Isn't the shape of this oval similar to the film they saw in the cellar?And not only the shape, but also the size is very consistent.

Could it be that Xiaolei was standing in front of this rock and saw them?

"Your Highness, we..." Long asked.

Kong Zhe didn't answer, he stepped back a few steps, stood in front of the boulder, and carefully looked at the surrounding environment.

There were still no footprints on the ground, but he was basically sure that this location was where Xiaolei was at that time.When he stood in front of the boulder and looked back, it was almost the same scene as he saw in the cellar.

If so, then...

Kong Zhe immediately recalled the scene when Xiaolei left, and after comparing in situ, he finally pointed in one direction.

"This way!"

According to the situation in memory, Xiaolei was leaving in this direction at that time. If she didn't turn in the middle, then chasing along this direction should be able to find her.

Naturally, Lily and Long had no objection to this, and the three soon set off on their journey.

They also did not choose to split up. After all, in such an unfamiliar environment, they may encounter some dangers. If they find Xiaolei and lose the others, it will not be worth the loss.

Kong Zhe feels that he remembers the scene of Xiaolei's departure very clearly, so the direction he is going now should be the right one.Of course, his memory is actually very accurate, perfectly restoring the scene at that time.

It's a pity that he was still a little negligent, and didn't pay attention to what Susanna said before when judging the direction.

'Everything in the inner world is opposite to the outer world, whether it is gravity, seasons or hours'.

Strictly speaking, the inner world is equivalent to the reflection of the surface world in the water. Although everything is opposite, it is still a complete world in itself, so people living in the inner world do not feel this "opposite" situation. It will not affect the normal life of the creatures inside.

But don't forget that Kong Zhe saw the scene outside the film from the surface world at that time, and when he was replaced in the inner world, Xiaolei's real departure direction was actually the opposite of the scene presented in the film.

Therefore, the direction Kong Zhe judged based on what he saw at the time was actually the opposite direction of Xiaolei's escape.

This detail is so tiny that not only Kong Zhe, but even Suzanne, an old fritter, didn't notice it.In short, it was a coincidence that they finally embarked on a path that was completely different from Xiaolei's.

……

At the same time, far away from Kong Zhe and the others, directly below the three sky cities, was a dark room.

In the airtight water tank, a girl with various instruments connected to her head was soaking her whole body in the liquid.

"Gudu..."

At a certain moment, the girl who had been sleeping peacefully all this time suddenly opened her eyes. Under the slender eyelashes, a pair of aqua blue eyes showed a little glimmer.

As if waking up from a deep sleep, she began to spit out bubbles.

And as she woke up, the surrounding instruments automatically started working, circles of lights were lit, and her body automatically floated up from the water tank.

"Ah, this is..."

In the outdoor monitoring room, the staff on duty today were the first to discover what was going on inside.

"First, the Prophet is awake!"

He hurried to the door and pushed it open.

Outside this door is connected to a larger studio, where hundreds of people wearing the same uniform are distributed, all busy in their respective positions.

As soon as the staff opened the door, they shouted: "Notify the elders quickly, the prophet has woken up!"

The Prophet is awake!

This news, like a supreme decree, quickly spread to most of the base.

After a while, a dozen or so figures rushed into the room containing the water tank.

The top cover was opened, and the girl who had been submerged in the water for a long time was finally pulled out of the water.

The temperature outside was lower than that in the nutrient solution. The girl began to tremble soon after leaving the water, her long blond hair, which was still stained with liquid, was tightly attached to her back, and she was wearing only a shapewear. Huddled tightly into a ball, it looked extremely pitiful.

However, compared to her body movements, the girl's face has always maintained that expressionless posture, which has not changed in the slightest from beginning to end.

This indifferent expression looked very disobedient, and it also made this young body a little less frail and a little more glamorous.

"Vital signs, normal!"

"The body temperature is low, but within the normal range!"

"What are you still doing?"

Soon a nurse took out a blanket to cover her body, and helped her clean up the nutrient solution on her body.

"Master Prophet, are you alright?"

Facing the staff's question, the girl didn't answer, she just raised her head quietly, her cold eyes looked at the people around her one by one, and finally settled on a man beside her, her lips twitched slightly, but she didn't make a sound.

Others are no strangers to this.All their eyes turned to this man.

This man is the Great Elder among the ten elders of the organization, and his strength is extremely powerful.He is only 25 and six years old, the youngest among the elders.

Being able to be promoted to the position of Great Elder at such a young age shows how exaggerated his own strength is.

More importantly, he and the new prophet in front of him are biological brothers and sisters. Regardless of their identities publicly or privately, it is only natural for the girl to report to him first.

Noticing the girl's gaze, the man frowned slightly.

"What? Why did you wake up early? Did something happen?"

"……Yes."

The girl nodded slightly, and a sound as delicate as running water came out of her mouth.

"The intruder...discovered..."

"Intruder?"

"An intruder again?"

"This is the first time. Sure enough, something happened outside, right..."

……

The girl's words immediately caused the staff on the scene to discuss in a low voice.

The man didn't answer, he just stood there with his arms crossed, still waiting for the girl's next words.

"...Number of people... three people, two men and one woman."

"...identity...unknown."

"...Purpose...to find...a companion..."

"...Location...near Furnace Volcano..."

……

The girl intermittently reported what she saw.Her voice was very soft, to the point where she couldn't hear it unless she listened carefully, and her expression seemed to have been frozen, and it hadn't changed from the beginning to the end.

In her body, there is no anger that a child of this age should have.It's like a machine that is always working and only working.

But this does not hinder the identity of the girl, no one present dared to underestimate her.After the girl spoke, the other personnel quickly shut up and recorded every word the girl said.

After a while, the girl had finished describing what she saw, and finally looked up at the man again.

"...conclusion...its existence may pose a threat to the organization...suggestion, kill it immediately!"

……

"Hey brother, don't you feel hot?"

The three of Kong Zhe were walking on the empty wasteland. Lily wiped the sweat from her forehead and couldn't help asking.

Kong Zhe looked down at Lily.At this time, Lily was wearing a homemade straw hat on her head. She was slightly out of breath, and she kept pulling at the clothes around her neckline with one hand, while the other hand was still fanning her face with her tongue sticking out. It looks a bit like a puppy in a sweltering weather.

"Speaking of which, it's really hot..."

Kong Zhe could also feel the heat coming from his skin, and couldn't help but look up at the sky.The weather at this time is not very good, the sand blown by the high wind almost covers the sky, but the outline of the sun can still be seen.

"Didn't you say that? The seasons here are reversed. If it's winter outside, it's summer here. It's normal to be hotter."

Susannah explained.

"Is that right?"

Kong Zhe was noncommittal, he felt that Susanna did not notice the change in temperature because she was a spirit body.When he first came here, he didn't feel the heat, and the temperature was even a little cool, but now he had the urge to take off his coat.

You must know that the heat and cold resistance of the awakened person is far greater than that of ordinary people, and even he feels uncomfortable. One can imagine how high the surrounding temperature is.

Even in summer, within a few hours, the temperature difference should not be so large.

"Your Highness, could it be because of that?"

Long suddenly pointed in a direction.

Kong Zhe looked along his fingers, and in front of them was a row of mountains with a height of 80 meters, which stretched nearly a thousand meters to the left and right, blocking the way of the three of them.

And above the top of the mountain, the air there seemed to be heated by something, and it was visibly fluctuating with the naked eye.

"Go and see."

This mountain range is definitely the highest position on the flat wasteland, and it is perfect for observing the terrain.

The mountain wall here is quite steep, but it is not a problem for a few people who can manipulate plants.

The three quickly climbed to the top of the mountain with the help of vines.

"This is……"

When approaching the top of the mountain, Kong Zhe vaguely heard some noises. It was not until he climbed to the top of the mountain and saw the scene behind the mountain that he finally verified his guess.

A billowing heat wave hit their faces, and what appeared in front of the three of them was a large expanse of boiling magma.
