Chapter 216 Abyss (Part 2)
"I'm here for a vacation, and I took the task of guiding you."
Lu Ming's simple words almost choked everyone to death.
For Wuhan University students, the abyss behind the life-and-death abyss is actually a vacation place for him. How dangerous is the real battlefield?
The most important thing is that Lu Ming is only at the fifth level of the physical training realm. How did he survive in such a terrifying battlefield?
"Okay, we've been chatting for so long and we're almost used to it. Open your eyes."
Lu Ming clapped his hands to remind everyone. Everyone tried to open their eyes. The dazzling red light came into their eyes again, but the stimulation was much less than before.
Jiang Mingyang looked up and the surrounding environment was indescribably weird.
The dark red sun hung in the sky, releasing oppressive, restless, and crazy light.
The sky was a weird black, like cracked porcelain, and the dark red light radiated along the cracks, as if magma was flowing in the cracks.
The gray earth under the sky, and they were in a city surrounded by tall walls.
The city wall is made of black boulders, about 50 meters high, and firmly protects the rectangular military camp, which is 5 kilometers long and 3 kilometers wide.
With the long side as the central axis, on the left is a simple and capable military camp with neat camouflage tents.
The arrangement of camouflage tents seems like a masterpiece of late-stage obsessive-compulsive disorder.
There is exactly the same interval between each tent, forming a dot-matrix tent group.
To the right of the central axis is a more modern building with low buildings, a fairly lively market, and a very grand government hall.
The military and government departments are clearly separated, and they are like the same whole, but also like unrelated individuals.
The location where everyone is sitting happens to be the training ground of the military camp.
Everyone looked at this incredible and novel world in front of them with curiosity, and their hearts were filled with indescribable excitement.
"Okay, now that your vision has been restored, follow me and we'll talk as we go."
After that, Lu Ming led the way casually, and everyone followed closely, chattering and asking all kinds of questions.
"How do you tell time in the abyss? How do you tell the difference between day and night?"
Bao Sichen asked curiously.
Time has no value to other species, and they don't even have the concept of existence, but it is extremely important to humans.
Once humans lose the concept of time, they will become helpless, restless, and may even go crazy.
"First of all, there is no concept of day and night in the abyss. The red sun has been hanging there and has never changed its position.
When we get to the camp, you will be given a multi-functional watch that can not only tell time but also indicate direction. It is a standard for novices."
"Are demons dangerous? What do demons look like?"
Another sophomore asked, and Jiang Mingyang and his group just listened quietly, as if no one had any questions.
"As for demons, strictly speaking, demons and monsters are two different species.
Demons refer to monsters without human form but with high intelligence, very similar to the monsters in legends.
They are either in groups or alone, and their own strength is closely related to the bloodline of the species.
Monsters refer to the demon tribe, whose social structure is similar to that of humans, with huge cities and populations, and are our main enemies.
Demons and monsters are collectively called void monsters, or demons for short."
Lu Ming explained with a smile, and another classmate asked, "I heard that Thorn City is a safe zone. Are there any monsters around the city?"
Lu Ming was surprised at first, then looked at everyone with deep eyes and said, "There is no back in the abyss. The concept is that Thorn City is only relatively safe.
The reason why this place is safe is that General Duan swept across the eight wildernesses and six directions, and destroyed the city lord of the demon city with his own strength, leaving Thorn City without hostile forces.
Except for this place, every battlefield in the abyss is guarded by the demon city, and we have always been at a disadvantage.
Even if there are no enemies in Thorn City, we are not safe.
The demons are divided into small groups and often launch secret sneak attacks. The demons will also wait for opportunities to hunt lone or injured humans.
The most dangerous thing is the colorful light curtain. If you are unlucky and are covered in it, you will die. "
Lu Ming was not impatient at all and described the situation in the abyss in detail.
For new recruits who have just entered the abyss, the more detailed and specific they understand the abyss, the greater their chances of survival.
If they are thrown out of the city without any explanation.
Even in the safe Thorn City, their mortality rate is more than 50%.
"General Duan? Could it be Duan the Fairy!"
Jiang Mingyang's focus is always different from that of normal people.
Everyone was trying to understand the abyss, but he was the only one with a brain cramp. When he heard the surname Duan, he thought it was related to Duan Qing.
"I haven't seen General Duan, but I heard that she is a heroine, very powerful and very beautiful."
Lu Ming's answer was very vague, but Jiang Mingyang was 100% sure that the so-called General Duan was Duan Yaojing.
"Damn, how many titles does Duan Yaojing have?
Military general, principal of Dongsheng, female devil, and security director of Tiangong Research Institute.
If someone told me that Duan Yaojing is the chairman of the political department, I would not be surprised at all."
Jiang Mingyang complained in his heart, Lin Xiling frowned and asked: "What is the colorful light curtain?"
"The colorful light curtain..."
Lu Ming murmured and fell into deep thought, as if he was recalling the unbearable past, and seemed to be palpitating the horrible past.
"The colorful light curtain is a phenomenon, even the great scientist Academician Lin cannot give an accurate explanation.
The hemispherical light curtain appears randomly, covering an area, and people can only enter but not leave the area.
After the light curtain dissipates, the living creatures in the area will disappear out of thin air.
Regardless of whether they are humans or monsters, few can survive being covered in it.
When I was on a mission, a colorful light curtain appeared silently, covering most of my comrades.
I……"
At this point, Lu Ming looked sad and did not say any more. The meaning of his words was also obvious.
The colorful light curtain was so dangerous that he could survive because it obviously did not cover him, and he did not dare to go in to rescue his comrades.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, but Lin Xiling asked nonchalantly: "What does colorful mean, color, or level?"
When it comes to interests, Lin Xiling seems to have no emotions and does not care about other people's feelings at all.
Lu Ming said this, obviously blaming himself, and even relying on self-humiliation in order to seek spiritual comfort.
Otherwise, there is no need for him to tell a group of strangers about his sordid past.
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, then explained: "It's both color and level.
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, the red light curtain is the weakest, and becomes stronger along the colors.
I heard that even a true Yuan realm master would die if trapped in a high-level light curtain. "
"Well, that's it. I must go and see it if I have the chance."
Lin Xiling frowned in thought, and her frightening mutterings sent shivers down everyone's spine.
All the big guys in the True Yuan Realm are dead and have no life, but this little girl wants to see it. She simply doesn’t know how to write the word “death”.
At this moment, three young men with slanted clothes and squinting eyes blocked everyone's path.
"Hey, aren't these deserters from Lu? They are from the administrative area. Why are you, a deserter, joining in the fun?"
