Chapter 200 Absorption and Assimilation
In the mist, the high-rise building was trembling.
It was like experiencing an earthquake.
The violent shaking caused a large number of broken glass windows to fall to the ground and shatter into debris.
"Ah--"
Accompanied by the terrified screams of the people in the building, the vibration gradually subsided, and the mist began to slowly dissipate, revealing the scene outside the high-rise building.
This is a small world surrounded by fog. Originally, there was only a 60-story high-rise building, as well as the parking lot and affiliated stores below.
But now, the small world that was originally surrounded by fog in this high-rise building world was suddenly opened up...
The narrow vision suddenly became clear at this moment, and through the broken glass windows, you can see a very vast world on the opposite side.
"Oh my God, look... the edge of the fog!!" a woman screamed.
Then, the survivors walked out of every corner of the building tremblingly and slowly gathered in the square at the foot of the high-rise building.
Looking at the unfamiliar environment around them, everyone's faces were full of astonishment and confusion.
Outside the fog, a large number of different landscapes overlapped.
Next to the dead branches and fallen leaves is a violet garden, and next to the "vertical cut" mountain that is only a quarter of the size is a half-Arab-style palace.
The dense primitive jungle covers an area of only a dozen square meters. Where the primitive jungle connects to other ground, the towering trees are cut in half. The part inside the forest is intact and lush, while the part outside the forest seems to have never existed and comes to an abrupt end in terms of space.
And the desert, swamp, plain, hills, farmland, beach...
There are also palaces, temples, bell towers, red brick factories, Miao earth buildings...
All kinds of different landform slices, all kinds of different architectural slices, are randomly stacked together like a game with wrong mapping, forming a strange and bizarre scenery that makes people feel itchy just by looking at it.
"Where is this...?"
A middle-aged man in a dirty suit stood up by the wall, his eyes full of confusion.
"Are we... traveling again!?" A young woman looked up at the sky that suddenly became wide, and her tone revealed disbelief.
"Impossible..."
"The doomsday has already happened, what else is impossible!"
"That's right..."
A sturdy man frowned and said, "The question now is, will there be any strange monsters in those strange... terrains?"
At this point, people began to whisper and discuss.
"Don't panic, I think... I may know what happened." A steady voice said.
The person who spoke was a spirited young man named Liu Jun with white hair.
And behind him, there were also several ghost-fire boys who dyed their hair red, orange, yellow and green.
"Yes, don't panic... This is Fortress Town."
Suddenly, a voice came from a distance.
Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the voice and saw a "boiled egg" with two young people, a man and a woman, coming over.
"... Zhang Weidong." Liu Jun, with a head full of white hair, frowned slightly, "Is this all your fault?"
"It's a misnomer to use the word 'fuck'. I'm here to save you." Zhang Weidong smiled kindly.
"Save? We don't need you to save us! Get out of our territory!" Liu Jun stared at Zhang Weidong with a bad look.
"It seems that you have the final say here?" Zhang Weidong turned around to look at the others and asked with a smile: "Hello everyone, are you his slaves?"
"... You'd better not use such a simple provocation." The screaming woman stepped forward and stood beside the white-haired Liu Jun, "Tell me! Who are you!?"
"Oh? He didn't tell you?"
Zhang Weidong made a surprised expression, and then the smile on his face slowly faded, and he introduced seriously: "I am the person in charge of N7183, my name is Zhang Weidong. You can call me the boss, or call me by my name..."
"What does N7183 mean?" The woman asked strangely.
After this, Zhang Weidong, the white-haired Liu Jun, and all those who knew the meaning of this number were silent.
"..."
"Ahem, let's not talk about this topic for now... Zhang Weidong! Let's talk about it in private!"
As he said that, the white-haired young man came over and tried to drag Zhang Weidong away.
However, he didn't pull him away. When Liu Jun turned around, he found that everyone was looking at him in confusion, even his younger brothers.
"Brother, are you hiding something from us?" The yellow-haired standard ghost fire boy looked at Liu Jun in disbelief.
"Uh, this... I'll explain it later." The white-haired young man stuttered a little, then turned around and looked at Zhang Weidong fiercely, "Follow, me, go!"
After saying that, he went to pull Zhang Weidong's clothes again.
However, Zhao Weidong still didn't move.
"Damn it! Follow me! Don't force me to use force." The white-haired young man lowered his voice and almost put his mouth close to Zhang Weidong's ear.
"Ahem, all of you don't know what N7183 means?"
Zhang Weidong ignored the white-haired young man and looked at the others.
Everyone looked at each other and nodded.
"..."
Zhang Weidong opened his mouth, his face full of disbelief: "Don't you have a cell phone?"
"Hey! Stop it!"
Behind the "Boiled Egg" old man who had no hair, no beard, and even no eyebrows, the young man suddenly came over, knocked off the white-haired young man's hand, and then grabbed the "Boiled Egg" Zhang Weidong and said:
"The last time you played this joke, it's over! Don't stick a flag on yourself!"
"What do you mean by sticking a flag?" Zhang Weidong scratched his boiled egg head - he didn't know if it was because the awakened had a slow metabolism, his big bald head hadn't grown hair yet.
Of course, eyebrows and beards didn't grow either.
"You, actually, dared, to hit my hand!?"
Before Zhang Weidong could answer, the white-haired young man was angry, and even a blood-red light flashed in his eyes!
"Do you know what the consequences of provoking a level 10 awakener are? I want to tell you... I..."
Xiao Jian stretched out two fingers, with a shiny black feather on his fingertips, and then he gently swept the feather and hit the white-haired young man on the forehead...
"Bang!"
The white-haired young man flew out as if he was hit by a truck!
He almost hit the glass door of the building in a straight line.
The glass door was originally broken into circles of patterns, and was only connected by the iron mesh of the interlayer.
Now it is good, it shattered directly after this impact...
A large number of glass bead-sized fragments fell "clattering" and buried the white-haired young man directly.
"Please continue." After saying that, Xiao Jian put away the feather and returned to Zhang Weidong's back.
The powerful awakener who was as high as level 10 just now only had 4 health points.
Although the clone can only inherit one-third of Xiao Jian's original attributes, even such a head bang is enough to kill the white-haired young man in seconds.
So Xiao Jian had no choice but to do it through the feathers, which was equivalent to using the [Feather Arrow] feature, which could further reduce his attack power to one-tenth of the level.
So, although it looked very powerful, the actual damage was only a mere "-2".
Maybe it was because Xiao Jian killed the strongest person in the "High-rise World" in one second, or maybe it was because Xiao Jian's retreat behind "Lu Dan" highlighted Zhang Weidong's status.
In short, in a dead silence, Zhang Weidong finally explained to everyone what the number was, as well as the tasks and achievements of N7183.
"... In the end, we got this new technology and tested it in a random area on the edge of N7183."
"Before this, I had already consulted the opinions of most people through clear codes, but I didn't expect that your world, which was unwilling to contact us, would become the first to enjoy the dividends."
Zhang Weidong's words were half true and half false. It was true that he did consult the opinions of most people, and he also clearly received a reply from the "High-rise World" that they were unwilling to merge.
The fake part, of course, was the "random selection of direction".
In fact, he deliberately chose the "Skyscraper World" as the first target for merging.
After all, this world fragment is the closest to N7183, and it also has a small number of people. If there is any problem, it will be the one with the least pressure.
But of course, you can't tell the truth at this time: We used you as test subjects without your consent!
Wouldn't it be a blast to say that?
So we have to change to a more emotionally intelligent statement: You are randomly selected to enjoy the first wave of merger dividends!
You see, the same thing, choosing different facts to narrate, will give people a completely different impression.
When Zhang Weidong explained to the survivors, Xiao Jian stood aside and took a special look at everyone's expressions.
It's interesting that everyone in the "Skyscraper World" seemed a little resistant at first.
But when Zhang Weidong threw out his former identity - the head of a certain unit in the South 5th War Zone, the highest officer of the Disaster Relief Committee N7183, everyone's expressions changed.
Although there is still a little distrust, at least the hostility and vigilance have been reduced by half.
When Zhang Weidong invited everyone to enter the fortress town, they saw the spectacular fortifications, the huge radar tower, and the paramilitary personnel in various uniforms...
At this point, everyone's faces showed the most basic trust, and they smiled more.
When Zhang Weidong took them to visit the research institute and finally led all the survivors to the cafeteria, such a familiar pattern immediately made everyone's faces full of the happiness of "finding the organization".
Even those red, orange, yellow and green ghost fire teenagers, although they were carrying the unconscious white-haired young man, they completely let down their guard... and even pestered the "police uncle" in security uniforms to ask questions.
The familiar food and familiar system made the survivors feel as if they had returned to a civilized society.
After dinner, when Zhang Weidong took them to visit the Monument to the Unknown Heroes and explained to them the things about the South Fifth Fortress, their faces that were originally full of vigilance were now only filled with a common hatred of the enemy.
The same blood ties, coupled with the fearlessness and sacrifice of taking responsibility, suddenly turned all the survivors into companions... even comrades.
