Atlas of Heaven and Man
#170 - Wasteland
Chang Ba was even more excited than Chen Chuan upon hearing this, because the completion of this stage meant that the latter could enter the most difficult stage of training.
If he dared to try the previous training a little, he was daunted by this stage.
He had never felt that anyone could complete it within the first and second limits, but now seeing Chen Chuan's performance, a glimmer of expectation arose in his heart, perhaps the latter could really complete this training.
At this time, Chen Chuan was gradually敛reining in the emotions that had arisen in his mind and body. He asked with a smile, "Teacher He, can we enter the next training now?"
He Xiaoxing was silent for a moment when he saw Chen Chuan's smile, because at this moment, he seemed to see the shadow of another student in the latter. He turned his head and looked at the place separated by the wire mesh opposite.
"Your next training will be there."
Chen Chuan looked over, he had been curious about this place before.
"What is that place?"
Chang Ba walked over and said, "In the early years, there was an aquatic research base here. These wire meshes were pulled up by them. My grandfather also said that it was crazy to come here to study aquatic organisms.
Later, this group of people withdrew, but the fish and some aquatic organisms underneath became strange. How should I put it, um... very ferocious, but fortunately they are very dependent on the living environment here. Although the underground water flows are connected, they have not spread out for so many years."
Chen Chuan also realized at this time, he said: "So the next stage of training is to swim there?"
Chang Ba excitedly interjected: "It's more than that, you also have to get the signs thrown down above within the specified time." He looked back at He Xiaoxing, "Uncle He, is that right?"
He Xiaoxing said to Chen Chuan in a deep voice: "I need to remind you that although the steps look similar, the degree of danger is not comparable to what you have experienced before. You can consider it, this stage of training is not necessary to complete."
Chen Chuan looked at the front and said, "Since I'm already here, the student wants to try."
He was unwilling to take risks unless necessary, but since he was here, he also wanted to try this training, maybe he could improve himself again, and besides, with the second me backing him up, he didn't need to be too timid.
Chang Ba looked at him, "Brother Chen, if you can really pass this time, you can come to our town in the future, and everything you eat and live will be free!"
Chen Chuan said with a smile: "Since Brother Chang has said so, then I must take advantage of this bargain." He thought again, "Brother Chang, you said that the fish inside are very fierce, what are they like?"
For things he was not familiar with, he still had to try to understand them in advance and do his homework in advance, otherwise it would not be training, but showing off.
It can be seen that there are three big black and red fish in the bucket. The black one has a very hard head, as if there is a layer of skull wrapped around it. The small one is all red, with fine and sharp teeth in its mouth, which feels different from ordinary fish.
Chang Ba said: "These two big ones are called Qing Carp. When we were young, we called it Zhuang Zhuang Fish. The small one is called Red Scale Carp. The folk saying is Piranha with Red Eyes. The Qing Carp can be called fast underwater, and the head is very hard. I have seen this thing come down with the rapid current and can smash rocks. If you are hit in the water, it is no less than being hit by a sledgehammer.
Not to mention the piranha, this guy can tear off a piece of meat with one bite. It can be dealt with if there are few of them. If you encounter a group, you should hide as far as possible. But there are far more than these kinds of fish in the water. I'll tell you more about it later."
He Xiaoxing said: "Take the fish, let's go in first."
"Okay."
The three returned to the car, the car started, and drove inside.
The barbed wire is useless to ordinary people, but it is useless to them, and many people should have been here before, and many gaps have been opened on it.
After the car drove in smoothly, Chen Chuan saw the metal signs lying upside down next to him. Thanks to the climate here, there are still many foreign languages that can be recognized on them. It seems that the research institute may have a foreign background.
He asked, "How many years has this experimental site been established?"
Chang Ba thought for a while and said, "It's been sixty years, right? It was there when my grandfather was there, and it was abandoned when my father was a child, at least a few decades ago."
The car drove more than two miles further in, and a building appeared in front of it. Some bullet craters remaining on it could be clearly seen.
Chang Ba said: "This was the original experimental site. Don't say it's quite strong. It hasn't been damaged much in decades, but the things inside were moved away long ago. More than 20 years ago, a group of bandits entrenched here, but they were cleared by my father with the villagers in the town and a group of fighters. Now very few people outside know about this place.
The car stopped in front of the building. After getting out of the car, He Xiaoxing told him: "Xiao Chang, take the fish to bake." He said to Chen Chuan again: "Eat these fish before you go down."
Chang Ba responded with a sound, and nimbly went to the car to take out various knives. He immediately dissected the fish, removed the entrails, and scaled them. Then, he took out a barbecue rack and placed the three fish on it.
After a while, when the fish were grilled, he sprinkled seasoning on them and handed one to He Xiaoxing and Chen Chuan each. "Try my skills. Hehe, this is a rare delicacy. Ordinary people don't have the good fortune to enjoy it; only we fighters can eat it."
Chen Chuan took a bite and felt a slight tingling on his tongue, like eating a kind of chili. Mixed with the crispy skin on top and the meat underneath, it tasted extremely delicious. The fish didn't have many fine bones, and after grilling, they were very crispy. He could chew and swallow them whole, meat and bones together, and soon he finished it clean.
After eating, he felt warm all over, no less than eating a nutritional paste. He said, "This stuff is good."
Although at this moment, he saw faint signs of virtualization appearing on his second self, this damage was very slight and didn't amount to much.
He Xiaoxing said, "The nutrition of the fish here is very good, but it contains a little toxin. This is no problem for us fighters. There's no need to rush to expel these toxins. If you are besieged by these kinds of fish and feel unable to resist, you can expel the toxins from your skin to the outside, which will stop them from attacking you.
But be careful, some fish may instead target you because of this, so you need to choose carefully."
Chang Ba said, "I don't know what the original experimental site was used for. We wouldn't really be cultivating edible fish, would we? Ordinary people can't enjoy this delicacy because of the toxins. Anyway, it's a bargain for us. After I started training, my father often brought me here for a treat."
Chen Chuan said, "Brother Chang, tell me about the fish inside."
"Then you wait a moment."

Chang Ba went to get a pen and a notebook, and began to draw and talk about various kinds of fish and their characteristics. Chen Chuan really hadn't seen that he had such good drawing skills. Each kind of fish was drawn vividly, making them very intuitive to look at.
"Let me say first that what I'm saying doesn't include everything, just what I've eaten." As he spoke, he smacked his lips as if he were savoring the taste.
Chen Chuan now had a rough idea in his mind. He planned to try swimming once first to understand the situation before making any decisions. So, he rested for a while, put on his diving suit, and came to a pit.
He Xiaoxing said at this time, "This time when you look for the signs, you need to be careful. Those connecting ropes may be bitten off by these fish, and they may also be carried away by the rapids below. So, when you are searching, you need to judge whether the top leads to a passage to the surface. If you find something wrong, get out as soon as possible."
Chen Chuan nodded solemnly. This was several levels more difficult than the previous training, and there was no room for even the slightest mistake.
He took a breath and jumped in. As soon as he sank down, he felt that the water temperature here was much higher than outside. As he moved forward, he found that the pits here were simply winding and twisting. In this way, let alone finding the things thrown down from above, even if he turned a few circles, he might get dizzy.
Fortunately, after several days of hard work, one of the biggest gains was that when maintaining internal breathing and the alienated tissues were more active, he could instinctively recognize the environment he had passed through.
He tried to go along the passage, but just as he turned a corner, very abruptly, a torrent of water gushed out. This current was very rapid, and caught off guard, it pushed him out.
He felt a chill in his heart. If he was taken to the depths of the pit, he might not be able to turn back. Even if he had a second self, it would probably only extend the time a little.
At this critical moment, under the mobilization of his will, the alienated tissues in his body exerted force layer by layer. He inserted his five fingers into the pit wall, firmly clasping it, so as not to be taken away.
He tried to keep himself close to the smooth pit wall polished by the water, and used the coordination of his fingers and body to slowly move back to the original place.
At this time, He Xiaoxing was also standing next to a certain pit, as if staring at a certain place below, and under his clothes, faint lines could be seen emerging, before gradually receding after a while.
At this moment, Chen Chuan had already crawled out of the area of the underwater rapids through the cooperation of his hands and feet.
He already knew in his heart that the situation here was extremely complicated. He would rather be slower and clarify the surrounding situation. He was able to escape this time, but it didn't mean he could do it next time.
Just then, he suddenly felt that the oxygen he could capture was becoming scarce, and in this short period of time, it seemed like countless things were trying to drill into his body.
Stone algae?
It should be these things, but they felt much stronger and more aggressive than what he had encountered before.
But he was also not the same as he was a few days ago. He immediately mobilized the alienated tissues to try to repel them from his body, and at the same time used his hands and feet to swim quickly, trying to get out as much as possible. After about ten seconds, he left this water area, and the invasion outside his body gradually weakened.
However, before he could relax, he noticed that there seemed to be something in front of him, rushing towards him at a very fast speed!
