The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo looked around, his eyes passed through the edge of the building, and what he saw was a scene of doomsday. In his eyes, countless high-rise buildings had collapsed to the ground and turned into ruins, and countless cracks appeared in the sky. The energy storm that came in from the void outside is raging in the world, and the earth is covered with various cracks. The flames generated by the friction between countless invisible energies and solid matter emerge from the cracks from time to time, baking everything on the earth. Objects, and no living things can be seen on the ground.

Leo once saw the planet hit by the Star Destroyer Cannon, and the monitoring detectors arranged on the periphery of the planet projected all the scenes on the planet on the screen very intuitively, and everything he saw now is the same as what was on the screen at that time. Everything I saw was very similar, a doomsday scene.

Just when Leo was surprised and shocked by the doomsday scene in front of him, the merchant on the side walked to the edge of the building with an excited face, and then opened his hands in a look of great enjoyment, laughing like a lunatic, Then he turned to Leo and said, "Have you seen it? This is the legendary ancient scene. Have you felt the breeze blowing over? It is full of natural smells. Every time I see such a scene, I will be so excited I can't control myself. The content recorded on the ancient stone walls is indeed correct. It is not just the delusion of some ancient people as those old guys said. In ancient times, the whole world was covered by plants. It is natural here world."

"Breeze? Natural smell?" Leo couldn't help muttering in doubt when he heard the excited words of the merchant. He couldn't feel any natural smell at this moment, although this building seemed to be able to isolate part of the impact of the energy storm. However, there are still a lot of energy turbulence that can get into the building. All he can feel at this moment is the invasion of these energy turbulences, which means that he can swallow these energy turbulences. His current position may have been torn apart by this endless energy turbulence.

But Leo quickly realized the reason for the inexplicable words that the merchant said to him, because just now he saw a turbulent flow of energy directly penetrated the body of the merchant, without causing any harm to the merchant.

Seeing this situation, he understands that Hong Shang and himself are in a different time dimension, and the scene he sees is completely different. What he sees now is a doomsday scene, while what Hong Shang sees is a boundless world of trees and seas, and From some information revealed in the words of the merchants, it can be inferred that the vegetation coverage of Vanaheim in the time dimension of the merchants has been much reduced compared to the present, and there may not even be a stretch of forest, so even if the merchants have already It's not the first time I see this sea of ​​trees scene, and I still show such excitement.

Leo did not reveal that the scene he saw was completely different from that of the merchant, he just found a place to sit in the corner near the entrance, signaled to the merchant to call him after dark, then closed his eyes and rested his mind, looking The look of rest.

Seeing this, the merchant didn't bother Leo any more, and sat near Leo, took out a few leather belts from his pockets, then changed them into a belt specially used to hold medicine bottles, and took out a few more bottles The potion was stuffed into the skin pouch of the belt, and it was fixed at the waist. I tried it to see if it could be easily taken out.

After adjusting the position a few times, the merchant nodded in satisfaction, and then took out some weapons and placed them on various suitable parts of his body. Except for the two cold weapons and short knives, the other weapons were either energy weapons, Either gunpowder weapons, or two energy grenades of completely different styles, all in all, it is to equip all the weapons that one can use.

After doing all this, he took out a necklace and two bracelets to wear for himself respectively, and put rings of different shapes on each finger, and these ordinary people seemed to be just decorative jewelry In fact, they are all strange things that contain different powers.

If ordinary people wear so many strange things of different powers on their bodies, there will definitely be a phenomenon of power conflict, which will lead to some unpredictable dangers, but these strange things on the merchants are very honest, as if the merchants have a kind of ability It is the same as the mysterious force field that eliminates the conflict of different forces.

Another point is that none of these wonders seem to be the kind of wonders that require a certain kind of power to be activated. Instead, they are all used through different passwords, as if they were specially made for ordinary people. After using these strange objects, I tried them a few times, and was very satisfied with the power of the strange objects.

After making these preparations, he sat quietly against the corner of the wall like Leo, waiting for the night to come.

A series of actions by Hongshang did not avoid Leo, and Leo could clearly understand the other party's actions even if he didn't try the spirit net. It might be as safe as he said, and Leo had expected it, so he didn't say anything.

In this way, time passed slowly, and the doomsday scene outside the building did not change much, but the light gradually dimmed, and it seemed that it should be almost night.

Just as the sky was getting dark but not yet dark, suddenly bursts of ear-piercing roars came from outside the building.

Hang Shang woke up immediately, stood up from the ground, and looked around the building nervously, feeling as if he was worried about something breaking in.

Leo also opened his eyes at this time, but he didn't stand up, but turned his head to look at the merchant, and said, "Didn't you say that this place is safe before? You don't look like you are in a safe place .”

"I just said that the vicinity of the building will be very dangerous after nightfall, and I didn't say that the inside of the building is absolutely safe." The merchant drew out a musket, but felt that it was not suitable for the current situation, so he put it back, and then pulled out the two guns. Putting a short knife, he said to Leo: "Our luck is not very good. We even encountered corpse-eating insects running out to look for food. The hissing sound just now was made by corpse-eating insects. This kind of insect only exists in this city. The building usually doesn’t attack living things, it only eats corpses, and only in some special occasions will it go crazy and attack living things, and now should be a special time.” As he said, he fiddled with two short knives , making himself look very relaxed, and continued: "But you don't have to worry, this kind of corpse insects are easy to deal with. You only need to attack the corpse patterns on their heads to kill them easily."

When Hang Shang's voice fell, he saw several strange insects with human faces, beast mouths, fat insect bodies and sixteen pairs of legs coming in from the outside, and rushed towards Hang Shang immediately.

Seeing these strange bugs rushing over, the merchant took a deep breath, immediately took a knife, and rushed towards the nearest bug. At the moment he encountered the bug, he avoided the bug's attack very quickly, and moved to the One side of the worm, before the worm could react, pierced the obvious corpse pattern on the worm's forehead with a very skillful knife.

When the knife was pulled out, the fat worm shriveled up like a leaking balloon, leaving only a layer of skin in the end.

After finishing solving one bug, the merchant rushed towards the next bug without stopping.

At this time, Leo did not stand up to help the merchant deal with the current siege of insects. Instead, he sat on the spot like a spectator, watching the fight in front of him. Those insects who entered the building seemed to turn a blind eye to Leo, even from Lei Ou walked by, and would not attack Leo.

Although Hongshang looks like an ordinary soldier fighting at this moment, and has not shown any extraordinary power, but in fact he has used the power of some accessories on his body. This power does not directly kill those bugs, but It is to give some additional auxiliary power to the merchant, such as increasing the physical strength and agility of the merchant, strengthening the perception of the merchant so that he can predict the attack direction of the bug in advance, and so on.

As he said, these bugs are indeed very easy to deal with. In front of the merchant who has been blessed with extra power, it is basically as easy as chopping melons and vegetables, and soon there are piles of corpses of those corpse bugs around him.

I don't know if it's because the number of corpse-eating insects killed is too large, so that the merchant has some kind of invisible power against the corpse-eating insects, or because the attacking desire of the corpse-eating insects has subsided, as the sky outside As it got darker, fewer and fewer corpse-eating insects broke into the building on this floor. In the end, no corpse-eating insects broke in, and only the hissing of those corpse-eating insects could be heard echoing from outside.

Feeling that he was already safe, the merchant walked slowly to Leo's side, looked at the leisurely Leo, and asked out of breath, "You, what are you...why, nothing, nothing? Why...why the bug No, not attacking you?"

"I also want to know why." Leo shrugged, looking helpless.

I don't know whether it was Leo's appearance that made him short of breath for a while, or to calm down the chaotic atmosphere, Hong Shang didn't continue to ask, but leaned against the wall, panting heavily.

After a while, as the merchant's breath gradually calmed down, he turned to Leo and asked, "Why didn't you help just now?"

Leo smiled and explained: "I think you can handle it, but I will only disrupt your fighting rhythm if I rush forward."

Listening to Leo's explanation, the merchant didn't know how to refute for a while, because what Leo said was not unreasonable, he had met many times before when people who wanted to help ended up being a disservice, and he did enter In the fighting state, if Leo joins in rashly, his fighting rhythm will definitely be interrupted. Thinking of this, the unhappiness he just had in his heart has subsided a lot.

At this time, the sky outside had completely darkened, and the hissing of the corpse-eating insects also stopped at the same time, as if the mouths of those corpse-eating insects were covered at the same time.

"It's already night, let's go down now!" The merchant looked at the sky outside, then signaled to Leo, and then walked to the elevator next to him.

Leo could see that the merchant was still dissatisfied with him. He was not surprised or cared about it. He followed the merchant into the lift cabin and returned to the lobby of the building.

Perhaps because of the nightfall, all the lights in the hall were turned on, and in the originally empty hall, there were some blurred figures that could not be seen clearly. These figures were like customers who settled in the building. Registration at the front desk, some boarded the elevator cabin under the leadership of the waiters, and some dined in the restaurant beside it. All in all, the lobby looks very normal now, except for those guests and the staff of the building who can’t see clearly and blurred figures of stature.

The moment Leo and the merchant entered the hall, the blurred figures of all people stopped what they were doing. Leo could feel that these blurred figures were looking at him, as if he was some kind of monster. Like the transparent ones, no blurred figures do anything to him, and transparency seems to be relative, because the performance of Hongshang passing directly through one of the blurred figures also proves that he can't see these blurred figures either.

Leo ignored the vision of these blurred figures, followed behind the merchant, passed through the hall, and walked out of the building. The moment he walked out of the building, those blurred figures also retracted their sight, and the hall returned to normal.

Originally, he thought he was going to do something, because the desire to attack revealed in the vision of those blurred figures was so strong that he didn't need a particularly strong perception to feel it, but what surprised him was that until he walked out of the building, those The fuzzy figures did not launch an attack either, it seemed that some kind of power was preventing those fuzzy figures from attacking.

Thinking of this, Leo, who was standing at the entrance of the building, couldn't help but look back at the building, and at the same time blessed his spiritual vision ability in his right eye.

At this time, his left eye found that the entrance of the building had also become blurred, as if some kind of force had been exerted to prevent outsiders from entering, while the spiritual vision of his right eye saw the tail of the giant bone snake just blocking the entrance at this moment. , completely seal the entrance.

"Don't look! It's impossible to go in again before dawn." At this time, the merchant turned to Leo and explained the situation, and then said very seriously: "Wait a while, you must follow me closely. The urban area in the future will be very different from the daytime, and there are a lot of dangers lurking here."

After finishing speaking, he motioned for Leo to follow, and then walked along the corner of the building towards the direction of the holy tower.

Leo didn't sneer at the danger that the merchant said, because he knew very well that in the current environment, there must be dangers that also threatened him. Since someone can lead him to a safe path, he naturally won't He asked for trouble, so he followed the merchant like an ordinary person.

Soon the two walked out of the protection area of ​​the building, and without the cover of the invisible forces around the building, the urban scenes of the three major city-states also appeared in their eyes after night, but the expressions they showed after seeing the scene in front of them were slightly different. There is a difference, Leo is quite normal, not too surprised, after all, Hong Shang has already reminded him before, but Hong Shang has a face of surprise and bewilderment, as if he saw something incredible.
