Zhu Ning, who was leading the charge against zombies in the apocalypse, transmigrated. This time, she crossed into a wasteland world.
In this world, eighty percent of the land is polluted. Hu...
346 Sky Gate (II)
◎Congratulations, we found the truth?◎
The door was very thin, almost like a piece of paper. Lin Xiaofeng and the others had studied it when Zhu Ning was in a state of meditation. They took Zhu Ning flying around the door like a tour guide. Behind the door... was another door.
This is just an ordinary door, the front and back are the same, and there is no room behind the door.
It was the first time that Zhu Ning saw such a fantastic contaminated area. It was completely unreasonable. How did this door go up to the sky?
There wasn't even any extra information. If one wanted to know, it seemed they had to go inside. Zhu Ning asked, "Does this happen often?"
She wanted to know if it was just her bad luck or if it was the same for other people.
Pei Shu: "Traveling through a swarm of water drops is inherently dangerous. Many convoys have disappeared in this area. It depends on luck, about half and half. I've never encountered such a thing. So, the missing convoys have encountered this kind of thing."
Pei Shu actually pulled out his notebook, seemingly having made some remarkable discovery. He wrote down his thoughts as he said, "I'm used to bad luck, but you're incredibly unlucky."
Following Zhu Ning, the probability of encountering a contaminated area is much higher than that of ordinary people, and they are all very strange.
Zhu Ning: “…”
Thank you, you really know how to praise people.
Zhu Ning asked, "What are you recording?"
Pei Shu: "We've discovered the Sky Gate. Remote contact reveals no abnormalities. No energy distortion outside the gate. Pollution concentrations are at normal levels. Waiting for second contact."
Pei Shu sketched the door, made a simple note next to it, and even wrote down the names of the team members, as if they were an investigation team.
Zhu Ning: "Are you so interested in this door?"
Pei Shucai only sorted out and recorded the other contaminated areas afterwards. This was the first time he started so early.
Pei Shu: "This door appeared suddenly. There are no clues outside. Below is a group of water droplets. I want to leave something valuable for future generations before I die."
Zhu Ning: “…”
Should we say that Teacher Pei is responsible and has a broad mind about life and death?
Zhu Ning saw the high-altitude contaminated area for the first time. Wasn't it said that contaminated spores couldn't fly high? Zhu Ning asked, "If I purify at this altitude, what will happen to the contaminated spores?"
Pei Shu thought carefully and gave his answer, "Maybe they will be crushed and destroyed?"
Zhu Ning didn't expect to hear this answer. After being killed, the pollutants will turn into contaminated spores. Zhu Ning thought that humans can only do this, but it turns out that they can still be eliminated?
Zhu Ning analyzed the current situation. "There are no clues. There's only one door. Opening Chen Qihang's notebook might yield more information, but we're in mid-air. If the difficulty increases, we'll see each other in the next life."
With a laptop, entering most contaminated areas is like turning on an accelerator, allowing you to quickly understand the background. However, this contaminated area is too dangerous. The groups of water droplets on the ground can kill people quickly. In this case, the consequences of increased danger are difficult to predict.
Bai Cheng: "I can go in and take a look."
Bai Cheng was very clear about his position and had already untied the body bag.
"Sister Bai, don't be so bold as to sacrifice yourself." Zhu Ning didn't treat Bai Cheng as a scout dog. She couldn't let her teammates die every day. "If it's an alternate universe, are you sure we can still share memories? What if this door can cut off the connection?"
Bai Cheng paused. Seeing that it was working, Zhu Ning coaxed him, "If you go in and can't get out, how are you going to leave us a clue? We're stuck here now. Your body is precious. Don't waste it."
Bai Cheng let go of her hand. Seeing that she was convinced by him, Zhu Ning continued, "I feel that the contaminated areas can be roughly categorized. For example, the house where I experienced a man being chased before was a space-related one, and it also had a door."
Zhu Ning: "If the space behind this door is infinitely expanding and changing, it's actually best suited for group combat. It's best not to separate and act together. I suspect we won't be able to find each other once we separate."
Pei Shu was taking notes in his investigation notebook, like a stenographer at a meeting, writing down the leader's speech. Zhu Ning was afraid that if he wrote down what the leader said, he would understand nothing.
Zhu Ning glanced at Pei Shu and saw that everything he wrote was normal. He nodded continuously and said, "Go on."
Zhu Ning: "No, it will be suspended for two days, the details..."
Lin Xiaofeng continued: "Forty-seven hours."
Zhu Ning: "That's less than two days. This deadline should be even shorter. We should at least save some energy to drive out of the water drop group. If I'm injured, I won't be able to control a car to fly this far."
Bai Cheng: "Be conservative and resolve it within forty hours."
Pei Shu felt a toothache. This group of people was so brave that not only did they want to get in, but they also had to wait for forty hours to "pass customs."
Several people adjusted their protective clothing. They all had physiques that were difficult to be infected, but they were a little afraid for the first time. They made sure that they were sealed tightly, as there might be the eighteen levels of hell behind the door.
The temperature outside the car is 150 degrees, so the cooling system needs to be turned on in advance.
Lin Xiaofeng carefully brought the flying car close to the air door, like a rocket launch docking. After trying twice, and with the help of Zhu Ning, he finally aligned the right door with the door frame. Because he didn't know whether the door opened inward or outward, he kept a one-meter distance in between.
A few people packed up their cars and personal belongings. Zhu Ning gestured, meaning that she was going to open the window, and everyone else had already gotten into the mood.
The cooler in the car was on, and when the window was rolled down, a wave of heat hit me in the face. If it were an ordinary car, I would have melted it long ago.
Zhu Ning endured the heat wave, feeling as if she was in an air fryer. She was like a small French fry shivering in the wind, and if she didn't hold on tight, she might be overturned.
Zhu Ning stretched out her hand from the window and felt that the door was a toll booth on the highway, where she was paying the toll.
Zhu Ning leaned half of his body out, glanced downwards, and immediately looked away. This was too high. His heart was pounding. He was completely suspended in the air ten thousand meters high, and the deep pit below seemed extremely far away.
The fear of heights is ingrained in human DNA, so Zhu Ning was quite brave not to have his legs trembling.
There was a slight click, Zhu Ning was stunned for a moment, and turned the doorknob.
Her heart beat faster. The door was actually open. Zhu Ning didn't even use the master key. When Zhu Ning paused, Lin Xiaofeng watched nervously, afraid that the door would suddenly open and a tentacle would directly sweep away the entire car.
The door must be a bit old, making a creaking sound. Zhu Ning took a deep breath and opened the air door.
Zhu Ning opened the door halfway. Pei Shu and Bai Cheng were in the back seat, blocked by the door and unable to see inside. They only saw Zhu Ning's half body that was sticking out stiff.
Zhu Ning stayed there for no more than three seconds and immediately let go of his hand, as if he saw something strange. The door lost its traction and was blown by the wind, slamming against the door frame with a bang.
"What's wrong?" Pei Shu asked nervously. Flames ignited in his right hand. Bai Cheng was also ready to provide support. There was a door in the air. Behind the door might be countless eyeballs, or something even stranger.
Zhu Ning closed her eyes, unable to describe it. She sorted out her thoughts and said, "I saw an eye."
It was indeed an unknown creature. Pei Shu thought there might be a monster behind the door. Zhu Ning continued, "At first, I saw a very large eyeball. The eyeball was very bulging and had red bloodshot. I looked like an ant in front of it, but..."
She had just opened the door and looked into an eye. The huge eyeball moved like the moon.
Zhu Ning had predicted this before opening the door, and even felt a sense of familiarity when he saw the eyes. But just a second later, the eye blinked, and the eyelashes opened and closed in front of Zhu Ning like a huge rolling shutter.
Later, the eye retreated, and Zhu Ning saw eyebrows and nose, then a human face, and finally a complete face.
The man had black hair, yellow skin, and acne on his face. His skin was so bad that it was not even like the surface of the moon.
Countless acne holes and blackheads spread out before Zhu Ning's eyes. Zhu Ning guessed that with her size, she wouldn't be able to climb out if she fell into an acne hole. A blackhead hole was an abyss to her, and her oily scalp would be a swamp.
It was a young man, perhaps around twenty years old, with an oily face. He said something, as if to say that there was something here. Just as he was about to lower his head to check again, Zhu Ning reacted and immediately closed the door.
The world behind the door was so huge to her that she could be easily crushed by a single finger.
Pei Shu frowned. "So there's another world behind the door? There are people like us? No...super giants?"
Zhu Ning's words were so strange that Pei Shu even suspected she was dreaming. However, according to the proportion, a pockmark would be a huge pit for them, so they were smaller than ants.
The scary thing is not the huge monsters, but the humans with the same face as you, and so huge.
Zhu Ning wasn't paying much attention. He looked at the deep pit below that was created by the bombing, thinking that this might be a pox.
The land was bombed because someone popped a pimple with their hands, and the pus that spurted out looked like a mushroom cloud.
Zhu Ning thought about it and found it a little funny. He said, "We might be in the same model."
There was also a door in that world. The man seemed to be checking it out. There were other people talking behind him. Judging from the fleeting shadows, there were at least three of them.
Zhu Ning recalled carefully that this door opened in the sky of their world, but opened in a miniature mold of another world.
The flame on Pei Shu's finger died down, and it was difficult for him to answer Zhu Ning's question. Instead, Bai Cheng asked, "Is this the truth about the world? Is our world actually a model? Is the end of the world because the model was destroyed? Is the source of the pollution the creator who created the model?"
Zhu Ning exclaimed, then laughed, "Very likely? Congratulations on finding the truth?"
Pei Shu: "It's not funny at all."
Bai Cheng asked: "Is there any more information? What model are we in?"
"Let me think about it," Zhu Ning said. "I didn't see it clearly, but I remember it was very dark. It didn't look like a normal environment. At least it wasn't a fantasy Barbie castle that children play in. It was quite realistic."
Bai Cheng: "Maybe the way out is on the other side of the door?"
There was no way out anyway. It seemed that there was only information on the other side of the door. Zhu Ning was not sure if he could really come back if he went through this door.
Their plan was rough, a collective action, with Zhu Ning taking the lead, Lin Xiaofeng following closely, and Pei Shu cleaning up the mess.
Zhu Ning opened the door again. She seemed to be the vanguard. This time she did not see anyone's eyes or hear any sound. It seemed that those people had gone out. Zhu Ning doubted the ratio and probably could not see clearly how many of them there were.
After all, they are now about the same size as dust in the air.
Knowing what was behind the door, Zhu Ning became less afraid. He slipped in carefully, holding the door with one hand, and the others followed.
When it was Lin Xiaofeng's turn, she couldn't help but look down. After she stepped out, the car body shook and there was nothing under her feet. It was as if she was stepping on the whole world in mid-air. Her eyes were spinning and before she could react, she had arrived in another world.
Lin Xiaofeng felt a little dizzy, as if he had drunk too much or taken some hallucinogens. He seemed to be spinning and falling endlessly, with no goal and no end. The world was crushed and unfolded, enlarged and shrunk, destroyed and rebuilt.
"Xiaofeng?" Zhu Ning's voice came: "Xiaofeng?"
With a snap, Lin Xiaofeng felt her eardrums being stimulated by pressure. Zhu Ning snapped his fingers beside her ears. Suddenly, the whole world became clear, and she saw Zhu Ning and others.
Bai Cheng was carrying another self on his back, and both of them were wearing protective clothing. Pei Shu was leaning against the wall to catch his breath, probably also adapting. Zhu Ning was holding Lin Xiaofeng and checking her condition.
Lin Xiaofeng woke up and looked around. It looked like a house. Everything was big enough for her, including a bed, a table, and even a delicate washbasin.
The model is very realistic. Unlike ordinary human houses, there is no ceiling and the space above is empty.
The model wasn't built well, and some parts weren't painted. The door was brown and had a small metal handle, but no matter how small it was, it wasn't as small as theirs.
Lin Xiaofeng thought that they really had entered another world, like five specks of black dust.
They were all dwarfs in front of the model. Zhu Ning was about the same size as the door handle. She jumped up and hung on the door handle. She twisted her arms hard and opened the door again, but behind the door was another room. The yellow sky disappeared.
