The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Where is this place?" Leo looked around and said to himself.

After being brought out from the world of the dead by Death God Gain, Death God Gain disappeared, and he didn't even have a chance to ask Leo any questions. He didn't know where he was now, but he knew that this place was suitable for human habitation.

This world does not have the absolute suppression of extraordinary power like the world of the dead. The moment Leo came to this world, he felt that all the constraints on his body had completely disappeared.

But even though the restraint disappeared, Leo did not immediately cast any spiritual skills or witchcraft. Instead, he restrained his power and avoided releasing it. The reason for this was because he felt a terrifying breath above his head, It was as if there was something terrifying floating in the sky.

This terrifying breath is different from the breath of the gods, and it feels more profound, cold and terrifying to Leo, just like a hunter hiding in the dark, and this special terrifying breath also makes some in Leo's body There have been some abnormal fluctuations in power. These powers are the devouring power belonging to the Chaos Fool, the power of the Lord of Turbidity and Lightness that has been in a silent state for a long time, and the power of the Stone Throne.

"External God?" After feeling the changes of various extraordinary powers in his body, Leo immediately had a clear judgment on the unknown terrifying existence above the sky, although he really wanted to look up to see what it was Outer God, but as soon as he thought of the strange situation of the Outer God, he couldn't help worrying that if he just glanced at the other party, he would receive the other's power to erode him, forcing himself to fight against the power of an Outer God.

At that time, no matter what the result is, he will definitely receive the attention of the outer gods. This is not the result he wants, so bowing his head honestly is the most correct way he thinks now.

At this moment, Leo couldn't help but feel a little doubt in his heart. He didn't understand why the Death God Cain sent himself to this world, but he was absolutely sure that the Death God Cain's actions were intentional. As for why, Leo temporarily I don't know, so I can only search a little bit. If necessary, I will leave this world immediately after I find Sylvia. After all, it is not his habit to follow the rhythm of others.

At the moment he came to this world, Leo could be sure that Sylvia was also in this world. This was not only because of the inexplicable perception of the bond between him and Sylvia in the core of consciousness or soul, but also because of the inexplicable perception in Leo's hands. The faint resonance of the white deer divine power in the wedding ring.

However, for some reason, although he was sure that Sylvia was in this world, he couldn't determine Sylvia's definite position in this world.

If it was in normal times, he could use many methods to strengthen his perception of Sylvia, and even communicate with Sylvia directly, and get her location directly from Sylvia, but now he has the top of his head. In front of that unknown outer god, the special spells he casts will only turn him into a dazzling light, attracting all eyes, which is definitely not a good thing.

So after thinking it over and over again, Leo decided not to rush to find Sylvia for the time being, and decided on the next move after he figured out the specific situation of this world and what was going on with the Outer God above his head.

After making a decision, Leo began to observe the surrounding environment. He is currently on an ice field, and a blizzard is raging on the ice field, but this has no effect on him, and he soon perceives something in the snow field through supernatural perception. This place has a strong breath of life, and there should be a large number of life gathering there, so it moves in a certain direction.

Walking on the snow field is very easy for Leo. His speed is very fast. In less than an hour, he came to the place where he felt the breath of life. This is a ruined city covered by ice and snow. .

This city is very big. The place where Leo is now should be a living area on the outskirts of the city. There are a lot of houses buried in ice and snow. Looking towards the center of the city, those high-rise buildings that can stand in the snowstorm are roughly estimated. There are at least a few million residents in such a big city, maybe even tens of millions.

Leo found a nearby room and checked it briefly. He found that no matter from the architectural form or building materials, it can be seen that the builders of this city ruins have a high level of civilization, especially the ones docked next to some houses. Abandoned vehicles and other mechanical devices, it can be seen that the civilization of this world has at least reached the level of oil industry civilization in the old earth era.

Then, while walking towards the center of the city, he quickly scanned the residential communities he passed through the mental network, and soon he found that these houses, except for some houses that were collapsed by the roof of snow or directly damaged by the snowstorm, The other houses remained relatively intact, and the furnishings inside were well preserved due to the freezing of ice and snow. Leo even saw books in some houses.

For this reason, Leo stopped for a while, found those books and looked through them a little bit.

What surprised Leo was that the language used in these books was a common language in the old earth era. Although a lot of new words had been added to this language due to the different usage environments, he could still learn from what he knew. The grammar of that language deduces the usage of this language used in this world and the meaning of some words and sentences, which also allows him to barely understand the contents of those books.

Most of those books are novels. From the content of these novels, it can be seen that people in this world still maintain the appreciation and writing style of humans in the old earth era. feel.

In addition to these novels, there are also some reference books. Some of these reference books are about repairing machines, some are cooking materials, or manuals for certain types of electronic products. From these books, it can also be analyzed that people in this world are buried by wind and snow What kind of life was in before and what kind of science and technology they had.

Although Leo's cognition of the old earth comes from various materials, he still has seen what the old earth era looked like. This information is not only from the memory fragments in his brain related to the old earth era, but more Some of the old earth era theme parks built by the Earth Federation attract nostalgic lovers.

The builders of the park specially selected several planets similar to the earth and transformed them into the civilization styles of different eras of the old earth, and then let those nostalgic lovers enter this kind of theme park to live and play. There used to be missions on such planets, so after reading those novels and reference books, Leo immediately had the feeling of returning to the old earth era.

And the contents recorded in the last few travel guides also gave Leo a general understanding of what the world was like before it was covered by ice and snow.

It is not difficult to see from the travel guide that this world should be a normal world at first, with ice sheets, deserts, rainforests, oceans, etc. In addition, there are more than 100 countries here, the smallest of which has only one town and There are several villages, and there are three largest countries. They occupy two-thirds of the world's land, and the rest of the countries are also dependent countries attached to these three countries.

Although there are many countries here, the political situation is very stable. Even if there is a conflict, it is a conflict between small countries. Even if the relationship between the three big countries is very bad, they have never launched a war.

In the travel guide, a large number of prehistoric monuments are highlighted. Judging from the above content, many countries have dug up many prehistoric monuments in their own territory. Some of these monuments are like religious buildings. There are a lot of mysterious symbols with unknown meanings , besides the first time, a lot of bones were also found. Besides the normal human bones, there were also a lot of monster bones. In one of the guidebooks, a complete set of monster bones were made out of those bones.

Leo quickly recognized that this monster was an extraordinary creature of the Black Forest called the lazy beast. Although this lazy beast had sharp teeth and claws and a ferocious appearance, it looked like a ferocious beast, but In fact, the lazy beast feeds on the lazy spirit of intelligent creatures. It will produce a gas called lazy gas, which will make people who smell it involuntarily become lazy, and at the same time produce a kind of laziness in the brain. The energy of the spirit, the lazy beast can rely on the falling gas to create a spiritual connection with the person who smells the gas, thereby devouring that lazy spiritual energy.

According to Leo's memory, lazy beasts have always lived in the depths of the Black Forest, and have never appeared outside the Black Forest. Now that the corpses of lazy beasts have appeared in the ancient ruins of this world, it is very possible Parts of the world were once part of the Black Forest, as can be recognized from a photo of a prehistoric monument in a guide book.

Although the device used by the person who took this photo is very rough, the photo taken is also very blurred, and even the runes on the surface of the building cannot be seen clearly, but it is not difficult to see from the overall style of the building that this building has many The obvious Black Forest style, just like the deer park that Leo once saw in the Black Forest.

From these books, Leo had a little understanding of the situation in this world, and made a rough inference based on the existing evidence. First of all, the ancient prehistoric period of this world used to be a part of the Black Forest, and there were many unique things in the Black Forest. Creatures lived here until one day it was abandoned and all the buildings were buried.

After that, human beings came to this world and survived and multiplied in this world. These human beings maintained the civilization of the old earth era, built cities and countries, and mastered certain technologies of the gasoline industry in the old earth era. For some reason a catastrophe happened and destroyed everything, leaving the whole world covered in snow and ice.

"Ice and snow cover the whole world?" Leo was stunned when he thought of this, and he couldn't help but think of the frost prophecy that was widely circulated in the world of the witcher he visited back then, as if the doomsday scene mentioned in that prophecy It was very similar to the scene in front of him. Although he thought it might be a coincidence, he felt that there might be some connection between the two.

Afterwards, Leo continued to walk towards the center of the city. On the road, he saw a large number of damaged vehicles, some of which had bones inside. It can be seen that the disaster came suddenly, which made people living in the suburbs very panicked. Fleeing, so that encountered various car accidents.

In addition, some weapons were also found in some accident vehicles. These weapons are all gunpowder weapons, which are very similar to those of the old earth era. They can almost be regarded as the follow-up series of those weapons after some modifications.

In addition to these accident vehicles, Leo also encountered some animals living in this world. These animals looked a bit like wolves in the old earth era, but their body shape was much larger than wolves, and they were about the same size as those damaged vehicles , and some of these wolves also grew three heads, which looked like they had undergone some kind of mutation.

When this pack of wolves appeared, they initially targeted Leo, but after Leo leaked a little breath of a higher life form, the wolves immediately retreated.

It is not difficult to see from the state of the wolves that the wolves do not seem to be short of food, which is contrary to the desolate snowfield scene he saw along the way.

Leo didn't do anything to this pack of wolves, but left a spiritual imprint on some of the three wolves. If there is a need in the future, this pack of wolves can still be found.

After walking for about half an hour on the road, Leo finally came to the center of the city, next to the strong breath of life he felt, and looked at the source of the breath of life, he felt a little disappointed, because these breaths of life were not From what he thinks are humans, but plants that can survive in ice and snow.

Logically speaking, the plants that grow in this kind of extremely cold ice and snow are generally some lichen vegetation such as mosses, and such large plants will not appear, but everything in front of them breaks this routine. The buildings in the building are covered with vine-like plants. These plants wrap and bind the buildings as if they were parasitic trees. Some of the main vines are so thick that they need more than a dozen people to embrace them.

Naturally, these vines that are so huge that they can crush high-rise buildings cannot be simple vines. Leo can feel that these vines have some low-level intelligence, can distinguish between strong and weak, and are extremely sensitive to extraordinary power, so that Leo When he came under a building, the huge vines parasitic on the building emitted a kind of energy fluctuation that could be called goodwill, and even the tops of the few young vines closest to his position were moving at a speed visible to the naked eye. , grew more than a dozen blue fruits from scratch.

Since it was a gift from himself, Leo was naturally not polite, and directly picked the dozen or so blue fruits, and after those fruits were picked, the vine quickly withered.
