012. Lonely Island 03
"What are you doing?" Liu Conghui turned her head. As a dead person, her surprise and panic had been reduced to a minimum. She was not frightened by the noise, but was just a little confused.
"Shh-" Tang Yuan said. "I'm looking for the truth."
He put his ear to the radio and carefully adjusted the station.
Liu Conghui saw that Tang Yuan's eyes were shining with a very persistent light, as pure as a child who got his beloved toy.
Liu Conghui hasn't seen this kind of enthusiastic look in his eyes for a long time.
After all, we are surrounded by a bunch of walking zombies,
been dead for too long,
The senses are weakened, the emotions are wiped out in the mission after mission, and in the end, even the feeling of being alive is forgotten, and gradually becomes numb.
Zila——
The radio emits a continuous sound.
"I...zila...in...zila..."
With the accuracy of the tuning, some words can be vaguely heard, but they are not complete.
"It'll be ready soon." Tang Yuan concentrated on it. This radio was different from ordinary ones. It would take a certain amount of time and energy to find the "channel".
As you get closer and closer to the "channel", the sound of the radio becomes louder and louder. You can't make a mistake at this time. Once you make a mistake, the harsh noise will reappear, and you must re-set the channel.
Dang Dang Dang Dang——
The ancient bell began to ring rapidly again.
Liu Conghui was also paying attention to the radio, but at this time Tang Yuan stopped.
"Why did you stop!"
"Don't make a sound."
Tang Yuan shook his head, then pulled Liu Conghui to hide in a corner and squatted down.
The Butcher became invisible and was spying on their location.
"The bell rang, and the butcher went invisible." Tang Yuan explained simply. "It means that even if he is lurking near us, we won't know."
"He must be wandering around now, looking for traces of us."
"There must be information related to the mission target hidden in this radio, but if I dial up that hidden channel, it will definitely attract the butcher."
After the previous smoke bomb, Tang Yuan knew that the Butcher was not omnipotent and could not always find their traces, so there must be some other factor that would let the Butcher know the location of the players.
As their enemy, the Butcher's motivation for all actions must be to prevent the players from completing the mission. Therefore, Tang Yuan speculated that once they find important information that can complete the mission or the mission makes progress, they will attract the Butcher.
"I committed the crime against the wind, so when the butcher is lured in, I hope you can cover me."
Tang Yuan looked into Liu Conghui's eyes,
"You trust me so much? What if I run away?"
"You won't." Tang Yuan shook his head. "If you don't want to do it, why not refuse directly? It will do you no good to trick me."
"If you don't want to do it, you can refuse now."
"But you will miss an opportunity to perfectly decipher the worldview."
"So confident?" Liu Conghui smiled. She hadn't met such an upright guy for a long time. "Okay, I'll cooperate with you."
They are all smart people and can communicate quickly.
Tang Yuan continued to adjust the channel, and at first it was completely white noise.
Gradually, a few words flashed in the white noise,
Tang Yuan controlled it subtly, turning one grid after another, and then several vocabulary fragments appeared.
Finally, Tang Yuan's feeling shifted and the white noise almost disappeared.
A machine-processed sound came out from the semiconductor radio. The sound was so loud that Tang Yuan could not control the volume.
"On the tenth day of September,
I really didn’t expect that I would receive such a gift on a day like yesterday. After a day of adaptation, I plan to start recording the coming days.
I carried a few steamed buns with me in my cloth bag, which was enough to get me through a few days.
In addition, there is also my semiconductor radio, which is just for recording.
There is no one here, and there is nothing to eat in the mountains and plains, only the colorful mushrooms, which cannot be eaten.
It's poisonous. If you eat it, you'll see little humans.
I hope no one hears my record."
[Information obtained: Voice diary part 1.]
[You have cracked 10% of the worldview.]
After the recording was played, the radio turned into a pile of ashes, and a harsh buzzing sound appeared in Tang Yuan's ears.
At the same time, the needle gleams on the back,
It was like being stared at by something.
Dang Dang Dang Dang——
The bell rings.
That thing has completely locked Tang Yuan's position,
A long scythe stretched out from the mist and slashed at him.
"Each atom forms an allotrope of c with its four adjacent atoms in a regular tetrahedron!"
A crystal clear round shield appeared above Tang Yuan's head, blocking the butcher's sickle.
[The shield is composed of adamantium, that is, diamond.]
"Run!" Liu Conghui suddenly became much sluggish. It seemed that this move also consumed a lot of her physical strength.
The Butcher has a 3 second cooldown after using his scythe.
Tang Yuan and Liu Conghui walked around the ruins on the mountainside. The butcher's speed was actually about the same as theirs, and his eyesight seemed to be poor, so he gradually lost track of them.
Dang Dang Dang Dang——
The bell rang and the butcher entered stealth mode again.
Liu Conghui obviously hasn't recovered yet. The shield just consumed a lot of her energy.
"This is a method I use to save my life. I gave it to you in advance. I won't be able to use it a second time for a while. You have to give me some reward after I get out."
"I am poor, so I can only treat you to dinner."
"Eating? It doesn't taste good. You might as well just pay me for some time."
Tang Yuan smiled, how could he have any time for her.
"Can you summon the elements in the periodic table? And you can also change the structure at will?" Tang Yuan was actually very curious. If this talent was really like this, it would be outrageous.
"It's not that strong. There are only the first 20 elements. If you want to summon any substance, you must accurately memorize the structure of the substance. Depending on the situation, a certain amount of physical strength will be deducted. There is no limit."
The first 20 elements? Tang Yuan recalled it.
Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, argon, potassium, calcium?
Awesome, a master of learning.
"This is very strong..." Tang Yuan himself had no means of defense or attack.
"Currently, I can only skillfully summon a few components to defend against attacks and escape. Others cost too much and I'm not proficient, so I can't do it." Liu Conghui said helplessly. "When I form a team with others, they all treat me as a mage.
"
Tang Yuan thought for a while.
"Well, there's nothing wrong with it."
Although we still don’t know what the real mission goal is, we have almost figured out how to crack this world.
The recordings on the radio were obviously continuous. Next, Tang Yuan planned to find other recordings. They walked through the ruins.
If you look carefully, these ruins are made up of dilapidated open-air rooms, just like a disaster area after an earthquake.
These rooms are full of life, with everything you need including stools, chairs, kettles, and electric mattresses.
"Residential building?" Tang Yuan guessed the original appearance of the ruins from these details. "One bedroom? But will there be too many beds?"
Buzz——
A sudden trembling from the soul,
Tang Yuan looked over, and a blurry shadow appeared.
On the far opposite side, the figure of the butcher and the blood-red silhouette of a man appeared, and he chopped down the man with a sickle.
Someone was caught.
The blood-red silhouette seemed to be the system prompting:
Chapter completed!
