The end of the world starts with failing the exam

……

Arrive outside the walled city.

Lawrence just glanced at it casually and felt a little creepy.

At this moment, within his line of sight, the cracks opened by the splendor of the deep sky have spread. At a glance, the entire surface of the earth is filled with splendor, like an endless stained glass.

"We're in big trouble now..."

Chapter 480: Out of Control Deep Space Splendor (Part 2)

Although Lawrence didn't know much about the Deep Sky Color, he had heard Chen Jing mention it at some point. The Deep Sky Color was a creature with little IQ. Most of the time, it followed its own instincts to do things.

Yes, instinct.

In addition to eating, Deep Space Extraordinary Loves to eat.

He devours whatever he sees.

Usually, with Chen Jing in charge of it, it can still have a little bit of brain, and before opening its mouth, it will think about whether it will be punished by its master, but now... Although Lawrence didn't know what happened to these extraordinary colors, he was certain that they He definitely did not regard the residents of the walled city as his own.

"It shouldn't be long before these things break out..." Lawrence said with a serious face, and his tone couldn't help but become serious, "If it is really as we thought, these ghosts can't distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, then the Walled City Everyone inside will probably be eaten clean by it..."

Hearing what Lawrence said, both Ryan and Anu showed a scared expression, and just when they were about to ask Lawrence if there was anything he could do, along with a burst of urgent footsteps, Hassad also ran out of the building. .

Just ran to everyone.

Hassad then cursed the word "cao" in a straight tone.

Before Lawrence could say anything, Hassad grabbed his hair with a look of despair on his face.

"I still can't contact them! That antenna doesn't work at all! There's no way to help me locate the Western Continent!"

When he heard that Hassad was going to use an antenna to contact Chen Jing and the others, Lawrence's first reaction was that his grandson was crazy, because he thought that Hassad was going to use the antenna to search for signals and call Chen Jing and the others.

He didn't know the function of the antenna until Hassad explained it to him later.

simply put.

That is an auxiliary device for transmitting sounds from thousands of miles away.

Used to establish telepathy with target creatures at long distances.

"Is there really such a thing?" After hearing Hassad's explanation, Lawrence thought that the old man was lying to him. After all, he was well-informed, but he had never heard of such a weird thing. appliance.

"This is the experimental product I stole from the Hanging City." Hassad's explanation was concise and to the point, "I don't know if it can be used, but I'll give it a try anyway!"

These past few dozen days.

Hassad has been debugging the machine day and night, hoping to use this thing to send a message to Chen Jing, letting Chen Jing know that "his son" is about to go on a killing spree.

But unfortunately...

"Damn it failed!" Hassad sat down on the steps, scratching his hair irritably, "The positioning of that broken antenna is a piece of shit! I let it locate to the western continent! It can really give I’m determined to go to the Sea of ​​the Old Ones!”

"Then what should we do now?" Lawrence frowned and had no idea for a moment.

"How about we dig a tunnel and escape?"

At the same time, Tsukano Koshiro also ran out with Hassad, and casually suggested digging a tunnel, which instantly earned him several looks.

"Where are you farting?" Hassad cursed angrily, "This thing may be thousands of meters deep underground, and it is still spreading. How deep are you going to dig this tunnel?"

"Then we have to find another way..." Tsukano Kushiro said helplessly, thinking of the attempts he had made these days, he couldn't help but feel a little desperate.

Compared to aborigines like Hassad, Tsukano Kushiro was a candidate who came from the outside world with Chen Jing, so when he first discovered that something was wrong with Deep Space Color, he immediately prepared to contact Chen Jing in the candidate system .

But I don’t know if I don’t log in.

Once logged in.

Tsukano Kishiro was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.

……

[Tip: Since the examiner is checking the candidates’ system data, the candidate forum and related applications are temporarily closed, and the opening time is to be determined. Candidates please understand...]

……

Yes.

The system is under maintenance.

Tsukano Kushiro didn't believe that he could be so unlucky at first, and then went to the walled city to find other candidates to try. Finally, he was helplessly determined... The system was being maintained at such a critical time, and there was no telling when the maintenance would be completed. Accurate letter.

So in the past twenty days, no one could contact Chen Jing and the others.

There was no way to ask for help.

There is no way to run out.

It's like a dead end.

Even a "good player" like Tsukano Kushiro, who only cares about the experience, couldn't help but mutter in his heart, isn't this the GM deliberately targeting me?

If it wasn't the examiner's fault, then all this is too coincidental... Could it be that God really destined us to die here?

"The situation is getting worse." Lawrence squatted on the ground, looking at the splendor in the deep sky only half a meter away from him. He only felt that the colors flowing on the ground were very strange, like both liquid and mist, which was different from some time ago. Their status as stained glass is different.

"Approximately how long?" Hassad asked.

"Judging from their average growth rate these days, it won't take more than two days at most..." Lawrence said with a frown.

"Two days???" Ryan and the others were dumbfounded.

"Yes, just two days." Lawrence raised his hand and pointed to the walled city behind him without looking back, "Within two days, the walled city will be swallowed up by these things, and everyone's bones will probably be included by then." Can’t even stay.”

"Find a way, damn!" Hassad kicked him over. When he was wanted by Hanging City, he had never been so desperate when he was being chased along the way. But when he looked up, he looked at the deep black sky. Extraordinary... This is no longer as simple as despair.

He has basically imagined his own death.

"There is nothing I can do..." Lawrence said helplessly, but compared to others, he was more tolerant, "It shouldn't hurt to be eaten by these things, they are much gentler than when the old madman beat me. The worst case scenario is death..."

After saying that, Lawrence touched the stubble on his chin.

"Anyway, I've killed a lot of people over the years, so death is enough."

"You're damn good enough! I haven't lived enough yet! If it doesn't work, I have to go back and try again... maybe I can contact them!"

After saying this, Hassad got up from the ground and walked toward the walled city in despair, planning to debug the antenna and try a few more times.

And Lawrence finally accepted his fate.

He sat cross-legged on the ground and stared at the sky in a daze. The more profound memories over the years kept popping up in his mind... The old man wanted to recall some beautiful things at this moment, but unfortunately the memory left by Chen Bofu was too profound. , the images of being beaten half to death kept flashing through his mind.

Like a virus, it lingers.

"Damn! That old damn!" Lawrence couldn't help but cursed, and just when he mustered up the courage to curse a few more times.

Suddenly.

He saw a silver point of light suddenly appear in the sky.

The light spot has been growing bigger since the moment it appeared, and it should be falling to the ground at a very fast speed.

Just a few seconds.

The silver light spot became clearly visible, and even Ryan, who had the worst eyesight, could see it.

"What it is……"

Lawrence frowned and stared at the silver light spot in the sky, feeling that it looked like a metal ball... But as the light spot got closer and closer to the ground, Lawrence gradually realized how outrageous his initial judgment was.

That's not some metal ball.

That's a... metal palace suspended in the sky!

Chapter 481: The Palace Hanging High in the Sky (Part 1)

The metal palace hanging high in the sky is like an island, its entire body is reflective silver-white, as if cast in one piece, with no gaps visible.

At first glance, it can be roughly divided into two parts.

The surface of the island and the palace on it.

The silver surface is in an irregular diamond shape, with a huge depression in the center of the bottom. There are countless layers of ring patterns in the funnel-shaped depression, and there is also a huge talisman engraved in the middle of the bottom.

As for that palace...

Judging from the architectural style, it is a building similar to a Taoist temple.

Since the palace is tilted, the gates are wide open.

So Lawrence and the others could see the glimmer of light emitting from the palace at a glance.

It was a light blue light.

It was as if there was a mass of amorphous plasma stirring within it.

"Is this something from the [Turing Research Institute]?" Lawrence squinted and looked carefully at the palace hanging high in the sky.

Ryan and Anu on the side were also stunned. They were also extremely surprised by this huge building floating in the air.

As for Hassad…

When he stood in front of the steps entering the walled city and saw the metal palace, he fell into an uncontrollable panic.

Yes.

As a defector wanted by the Hanging City.

As an old alchemist who once joined the [Turing Research Society].

Hassad knew exactly what the arrival of this palace meant...

"This is Jiutian Yingyuan Palace...it's those alchemists!! Those bastards from Hanging City discovered us!!!"

Jiutian Yingyuan Palace.

This strange name confused Lawrence.

indeed.

Compared to Hassad, they knew very little about the Hanging City, so they had no reaction when they heard the name. What really made them uneasy was the words behind Hassad... The group of alchemists discovered them. !

"How was it exposed?" The energy in Lawrence's body gradually became active, and bursts of cold breath emitted from the holes all over his body.

"I should have thought of it... It was Jiutian Yingyuan Palace who discovered us... It has been orbiting outside the earth... Theoretically, the entire world is under their surveillance..."

Hassad held his head in pain and cursed through gritted teeth.

"The wasteland is a blind spot in their surveillance, because the old filth that permeates the sky is a kind of 'light pollution' to them, and all instruments will be affected unless they lower the palace below the 'pollution layer'."

As he spoke, Hassad showed a confused expression again, as if he suddenly realized something.

"That's not right... Since it has not dropped below the 'pollution layer'... then it is impossible for it to photograph us... let alone detect our breath through instruments... This palace seems to have found us. The coordinates are heading straight towards us... That’s right!! It’s a fucking antenna!!!”

Hassad shouted desperately, his whole body seemed hysterical, and his eyes were full of undisguised regret.

"It should be that when I tried to contact Chen Jing and the others through the antenna, the wireless signal was sensed by the alchemists in Hanging City. They found our coordinates through signal decoding... so they summoned Jiutian Yingyuan Palace to attack us! !”

"Attack us?" Lawrence looked stunned, "What on earth is this palace used for??"

"A murderer."

Hassad said tremblingly, with unforgettable fear in every word.

"Jiutian Yingyuan Palace is not among the 'Three Palaces' of the Research Association. Although it has the appearance of a Taoist temple in the Hanging City, it is not at all a place of practice where alchemists gather."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hassad paused for a moment, forcibly controlling the fear that was spreading in his heart, and trying to appear as calm as possible.

"It is a space-based weapon that will always orbit around the outside of the earth. It is the Hanging City's highest sanction method against the outside world. It is a truly strategic weapon... We are in big trouble!"

……

Evernight City.

In the obelisk rebuilt by the Moonlight Hermitage.

The Pope still sat on the throne that belonged to him alone, while the bishops stood in front of the Pope and argued endlessly.
