“BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!”
The moment it entered the cloud layer, an endless thunderstorm came over it. Looking around, thunder and lightning from all directions rushed towards the airship like a hail of bullets. If it was an ordinary airship, it would have exploded on the spot just by this wave of attacks.
Fortunately, Fang Zheng had anticipated this problem. Soon, the magic barrier glowed, and the oncoming lightning, like raindrops falling into a pond, disappeared silently when it hit the barrier on the surface of the airship.
"Hmm... let me see... the thunderstorm level is very high, and the radiation coefficient is off the charts... this thing is indeed a product of technology."
Fang Zheng opened the terminal in his hand and scanned the outside world through the sensor. He quickly came to a conclusion. Obviously, this so-called thunderstorm cloud layer should be a product of some kind of technological means. However, he didn't know the purpose of the other party making this thing. Was it specially made for this purpose? Or was it an accidental product? After all, if it was said that such a defense line was specially built to deal with people in the hunter world, then it felt a bit too much.
You have to know that the hunter world is still at the level of flip phone technology. If it were a few hundred years ago, they probably didn't even know what an airplane looked like. It would be fine if you made an air-ground integrated fog barrier. But making such a thunderstorm barrier is like using anti-aircraft guns to deal with primitive tribes in the rainforest - they don't even have an air force, so how can you use anti-aircraft guns to kill mosquitoes?
In fact, according to the records Fang Zheng had found, the previous times the Hunter World explored the Dark Continent, they all traveled by boat. And they all successfully reached the Dark Continent. This shows that if this thunderstorm cloud layer was specially created to block the opponent, then it can basically be said to be meaningless waste.
"Lord Kasugano!"
At this moment, Katima also stumbled out again and looked at Fang Zheng anxiously.
"What happened?"
"Oh, it's okay. Everything is normal. We have already flown into a thunderstorm cloud. Due to the air flow, there will be some turbulence. It's not a big problem."
Of course, under normal circumstances, this level of airflow can roll up a jumbo jet and yo-yo it until it disintegrates. But fortunately, there is magic in this world that doesn't make sense to you, so even in such a stormy sea with thunder and lightning, Fang Zheng's airship is still stable, just shaking a little occasionally, even if you put a glass of water here, it won't spill.
But for Katima, she would be terrified if such a flying thing in the sky shook even a little - after all, it was completely different from cars and trains.
To be honest, if it was in the sea, Katima wouldn't care even if it was shaking badly. At most, she would just jump into the sea and swim. But in the sky, it was another matter.
She couldn't imagine what would happen if this thing capsized and fell off.
"Don't worry, you won't fall."
Seeing Katima's face livid as she gripped the handrail tightly, Fang Zheng chuckled and then focused his attention on the thunderstorm in front of him again. He didn't think this was the work of the Order Clan, for the same reason as mentioned before, if they separated on purpose, then what was the point?
Besides, something wasn't right.
Fang Zheng took out the chart again and looked it over carefully. Logically, this kind of radiation cloud has an attenuation range. Normal people know that after a nuclear bomb explodes, the nuclear radiation is definitely strongest at the explosion center, and the farther away, the weaker the radiation. But this place is not the case. Before Fang Zheng entered the cloud, the radiation value was very normal, but after entering the cloud, the radiation value instantly soared to a limit, and has remained almost unchanged since then. This is obviously not in line with common sense. After all, if you want to explain it with science, it can't be explained.
But if I want to explain it with magic...is it necessary to make it so complicated?
There must be something that I haven't noticed, and this must be related to the other party's "professionalism".
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng read the data carefully again.
As for the pale-faced Katima next to him, she was not within his scope of concern.
While Fang Zheng was quietly conducting his research, life was not so easy for girls like Toto Kirin.
"What on earth happened in this world..."
Looking at the ruined city around him, Toudou Qilin murmured to himself anxiously. Two days have passed since they came to this world, and Banjiu Satsuki and Julie finally woke up. Fortunately, their injuries were not serious, and they just needed a period of rest. Unfortunately... this world is not suitable for rest.
Todo Kirin and Nagakura Imari took advantage of this time to survey the surroundings, and finally came to the conclusion that... demons were running rampant.
There is everything on this continent except humans.
With the place where they came from as the center, it can be divided into east and west sides.
The ones on the east side were the mechanical creatures that the girls had seen before. Some of them looked like dinosaurs, and some looked like cows and leopards. In short, all the large creatures on this land were basically made of machines. The girls felt like someone wanted to build a zoo with robots.
However, although these mechanical monsters do not look very strong individually, they all act in groups and have extremely strong firepower. Some of them even look like Tyrannosaurus Rex and crabs and have their own rocket launchers and machine guns. When they find the enemy, they will fire at them. Several times, Toudou Qilin and Nagakura Imari were also caught by them and were beaten to flee... After all, they do not have Fang Zheng's ability.
But the west is just as dangerous.
Simply put...it's the world of giant creatures.
That's right, if the east side is a mechanical creature, then the west side is a giant creature, such as rhinoceros, crocodiles, elephants, tigers, each of which is very big. And there are even giants nearly ten meters tall in the west... But unfortunately, these giants seem to have no consciousness and no way to communicate, so Toudou Qilin and Nagakura Imari can't connect with them.
In addition, the two sides are enemies and often fight each other. Although the giants are naked and have only muscles, they are huge and powerful. It is also difficult for the mechanical creatures to control these giants, but the mechanical creatures are not vegetarians. After all, all fear comes from insufficient firepower. As long as the firepower is sufficient, they are not afraid of anything. So when they encounter giants, the mechanical creatures basically use firepower to clean the ground. If they are caught by the opponent, they will explode and drag the opponent to death together - after all, the machine is a consumable, and if it dies, it dies, it dies, as if no one is afraid of anyone.
This level of war was beyond the ability of the four girls to deal with, so they had to choose to evacuate. In the end, the four of them chose to temporarily set up camp in a ruin on the territory of the mechanical creatures.
The reason is simple. Although mechanical creatures are difficult to deal with, the scenery here is really nice. Although most of the medium and large creatures are mechanically synthesized, rabbits, foxes, etc. are still ordinary small animals in their original ecology. At least there is no problem with food and water sources.
As for the giants, the environment was extremely harsh, with wilderness and desert everywhere and almost no greenery or water. In addition, the creatures there were all extremely large - even if the girls could kill a tiger, it was impossible for the four of them to eat a tiger as big as a bus.
Tigers and lions are okay, but if you encounter cockroaches or bedbugs the size of cars, wouldn’t that be even more terrifying?
Girls can't stand this kind of thing.
Of course, it wouldn’t be much better if it were a man.
However, the shock that this world brings to the girls is more than that.
"Where on earth is this place..."
Looking at the scene in front of her, Banjiu Shayue couldn't help but sigh. They were now in a cave on the edge of a city ruin, but this was more than just a cave - although the entire cave was covered with weeds and seemed to have been abandoned long ago, the rusty steel structures and futuristic sci-fi style decorations inside showed that this must have been a very advanced place in the past.
But now, only the wreckage is left here.
“I don’t know what this world has been through.”
Nagakura Imari wiped the table and chairs clean before sitting down, looking around in confusion.
"This place seems to be more advanced than our world, but now it seems to be completely destroyed?"
"Is it because of a robot riot? After all, there are so many mechanical creatures out there. Is it possible that the people of this world created a robot army and then suffered a backlash?"
When it comes to this topic, Banjiu Shayue is no longer sleepy and her waist doesn’t hurt anymore... After all, girls are gossipy in nature.
"Not really. No matter how powerful these mechanical creatures are, they are still worth dealing with. I don't think the humans in this world will be destroyed so easily by these mechanical creatures."
Todo Kirin shook her head. The girls had dealt with many mechanical creatures along the way. To be honest, except for a few guys with huge bodies and superior firepower, most of the ordinary mechanical creatures were no match for the girls. Even Banjiu Satsuki and Julie, who were seriously injured and had not yet recovered, could deal with some of them.
In comparison, the monsters on the giant's side are all incredibly large. Not only are they difficult to deal with, but they are also prone to mistakes.
This is another reason why girls choose the east.
"But there's a problem now."
Imari Nagakura took out his first aid kit, looked at it, and frowned slightly.
"We are running low on medicine, but Shayue and Julie's injuries haven't fully healed yet..."
"There should be herbs in this world, right? Didn't we see a lot of them along the way?"
“But I don’t understand what it is used for…”
"But if you don't change the dressing, the wound won't heal and it's more likely to cause complications."
Although Nagakura Imari was usually considered a small follower among the crowd, this time when Fang Zheng was not there, she took the initiative to take the lead.
The reason is simple, because Imari Nagakura is also a crazy survival enthusiast... When it comes to survival in the wild, although it is not her forte, it is almost the same.
Otherwise, with only Julie, Toudou Kirin and Banjiu Satsuki, how can you expect them to make a fire, cook and slaughter rabbits?
"I'll go out and take a look."
In the end, Imari Nagakura made a decision.
"Qirin, stay here and take care of Shayue and Julie. I'll go outside and collect some herbs to see if I can identify what they are used for."
In fact, Nagakura Imari himself was not sure. After all, this world was not the one he was familiar with, and he could not even name the herbs. But...what could he do?
At this point, we have no choice but to give it a try.
