This is a world map that was resold and circulated by a secret organization from the military. It is larger in size and more accurate. It cost Fan Ning 30 pounds on the black market.

In addition, at Fan Ning's additional request, more blank space was left around it, which is equivalent to one size larger in overall size.

"Based on the summary of information collected from recent investigations"

In the past four months, Fan Ning's travels, meals and daily life have been carried out as Lavoisier. However, because the pollution has not been suppressed, the spirituality has not been stable, and even the problem of dreaming has not been solved, so it is prudent. , and has not actively contacted government public institutions or knowledgeable official organizations.

But he wasn't idle either.

What he did was mainly to chat with locals in various counties in the market, investigate suspicious black markets or secret meeting points, use some simple, crude and effective methods to pry open the mouths of some esoteric believers, and personally inspect several This is the boundary line of the abnormal zone that has been rumored quite a lot.

Due to those concerns during this period, the depth of Fanning's investigation was average, but the breadth was not bad.

What can be expected is that now that I have contacted the official organization and accepted the background investigation of the discussion group, most of my previous whereabouts will definitely be found out by the Special Inspection Office.

"Theme of God" is the lifelong artistic pursuit of the organist Mr. Lavoisier. Investigation is allowed, but please respect the beliefs of the Holy Sun Church.

Under the gaslight, Fan Ning's eyes passed over one map area after another.

There are three huge pieces of land floating on the ocean. They are generally distributed in a "reverse C" shape. The western continent where I am currently located is roughly at 9, 10, and 11 o'clock, and the northern continent is roughly at 12, 1, 2, and 3 o'clock. In the o'clock direction, the southern continent is roughly at 4, 5, and 6 o'clock.

Outside, the contour boundaries are irregular surfaces.

Even on this kind of military map, which can only be purchased on the black market, the boundaries of the abnormal areas are still rough, and there is a lot more room than the actual abnormal areas.

Fanning made a lot of corrections with a carbon pen, especially the land borders. The original, relatively steep curves on the map were replaced by sinuous black writing.

Further outside, the extra blank space requested by Fan Ning was now circled by him with various colored crayons. However, the outlines of these areas were even simpler, with more areas being "straight lines + turns", and more areas. Some people who are unsure use dotted lines.

The discussion group has a set of numbering rules for abnormal areas. The system is very simple:

Area C, the discontinuous transition zone, was marked by Fanning with yellow crayon. First, an abnormal bubble area appears in the normal area, and then the bubbles gradually increase inside, just like oil floating on the surface of soup. Finally, the dots are connected to form a surface, and the normal area becomes a relative bubble.

Area B, the deeper continuous anomaly zone, was marked by Fan Ning with orange crayon. In fact, it is just a path that has been explored by previous people, showing a long and narrow crack-like shape. The abnormal area B-105 is probably deep at the 7-8 o'clock direction.

There are only two categories with actual "map significance".

Going deeper outside the map, all areas that have not been explored by previous generations or have no valid records are located in area A, which Fan Ning marked with a red crayon.

From an area perspective, the unexplored area A accounts for the vast majority.

In addition, in the very deep part of this zone, at about 9-10 o'clock, Fan Ning also used blood-red pen ink to draw a big "X".

The liquid stained the back of the map paper.

The discussion group speculates that there may be an unknown diffusion source deep in the abnormal zone, which is called the "X coordinate" internally.

Just "speculation".

Judging from the large size of the "X", it is not an exact coordinate point, but just a large area of ​​the lake speculated by senior officials.

"In fact, the numbering rules for this abnormal area have extremely limited guidance for the investigation."

"For example, the most basic risk assessment cannot be reflected."

"The difference between area C and area B is just whether the abnormal zone is continuous. The reason why the former is relatively safe is just because it is not deep enough and the route can be avoided as much as possible. This does not mean that the abnormal zone itself is not dangerous."

"The difference between area B and area A is just that someone has been there, and one has not been there."

"This may be because the danger in the abnormal area cannot be assessed at all, or it may be because the real core intelligence of the Special Patrol Office is difficult to obtain."

On a quiet winter night with heavy snowfall, Fan Ning set his sights on the southern continent on the map and moved his fingers accordingly.

"The 'X coordinate' thing is too weird and scary, and it may not actually exist. My main goal for this trip is to set the abnormal zone B-105 first, at 8-9 o'clock."

"I don't know where I entered the Special Inspection Office back then, but apart from the pure sea route, there are only two options, either go southwest from the Western Continent, or go northwest from the Southern Continent."

This time Fan Ning personally prefers the latter, because the entrance to the "Cracking Field" is at the former headquarters of Fanghui Temple.

In the past four months, Fan Ning had not had a clear grasp of the situation in the Southern Continent. At that time, he did not know when Boglelic would find an exit from the space turbulence, and he had to leave there and change places as soon as possible.

However, it was later heard from the street talk that the former Tiya city-state area is now the focus of the Special Patrol Office's control, and other continental countries have also sent a large number of elite forces to the south to enclose land, and the survivors of the southern country have also gathered forces to make demands

Although the "Land of Flame and Bitterness" is no longer fertile, it is also a vast continent with hundreds of millions of people. Where there is land, there will be resources, there will be value, there will be interest exchanges and conflicts, as well as gatherings and activities of secret organizations.

All this is surprisingly similar to the situation during the "Principality of Chaos". The only difference is that the steam industry is now more developed, the production and construction efficiency has been greatly improved, and the situation between extraordinary forces has become more complicated.

In short, the current southern continent is not a flat no-man's land, and the action to the "cracking field" will still have to think of some ways.

The hub is broken, a year and a half, not urgent but not abundant

Fan Ning, who was thinking, suddenly raised his head with a feeling.

In the snow outside the window in front of the desk, some almost transparent silk-like things floated over, with a few pairs of scattered eyes on top, vaguely like an illusion.

He separated a few strands of inspiration and floated into the astral layer, pulling it back to the desk in the waking world, turning it into Hoffman fonts with a faint golden glow:

"I've been away from home again recently and won't arrive until tomorrow night. Do you want to guess where? Here's a hint: the Western Continent, it's so cold, and it has something to do with you before."

Fan Ning, who had been worried all the time, smiled subconsciously.

The lines were stretched and elegant, just like Luo Yin's handwriting.
