Chapter 507 Pulled back!
A strange, dim glow with no source could be found filled the entire space, and the air was filled with a stale smell as if mixed with chemicals. Zheng Zhi cautiously poked his head out from his hiding place and carefully observed his current environment.
This is the interior of a large building. You can see a very wide circular hall outside. There are still some traces of the former glory between the white walls and the dome, but it is obvious that the glory is a long time ago. There is also a circle of circular columns surrounding the hall, which support the dome. Two of the columns have collapsed and broken into several pieces in the center of the hall. Large pieces of debris that have fallen off the roof are also scattered around.
On the high dome above, one can see a central structure covered with hemispherical glass. Perhaps due to the deformation caused by the collapse of the pillars, one-third of the spherical shell has been shattered. Outside the broken hole, one can only see a chaotic darkness, and it is impossible to see the situation in the "sky".
Zheng Zhi is currently staying in a small compartment in the corner of the hall. The compartment is filled with a large amount of "junk" that has a rubber texture and seems to have been randomly formed after being melted. It is impossible to tell what it once looked like.
"What kind of place is this... Is this what I, an intern, should be dealing with?"
Zheng Zhi muttered with an uneasy expression, then lowered his head to check what he had brought with him.
The cell phone has no signal, the locator is reporting an error, and the only weapon I have is a pistol for self-defense. Since I'm still in the internship stage, I can't use high-powered fragmentation warheads, but can only use ordinary rocket-assisted explosive bombs. Apart from that, all I have is the lunch box in my hand - the bad news is that only half of it is left, but the good news is that there are still a lot of chicken nuggets.
Zheng Zhi recalled what he had learned during the training and what was taught in the operator emergency manual, and found that the only part he could use at the moment was "maintaining a good attitude."
This wasn't difficult, as he had always had a good attitude—and he was also used to the situation of suddenly falling into a strange place.
So he adapted to the hiding compartment for a while, and observed the situation in the hall outside for a long time. After confirming that the place would not collapse for the time being and that there were no other suspicious living creatures within sight, he bravely walked out.
He walked carefully through the empty hall, passing between the remains of the broken pillars, trying to find an exit that would lead him back to the real world.
When he reached the other side of the hall, he turned around and took a look at the place he had just walked through. He noticed that there was a large pattern on the ground here - light and dark lines formed a certain pattern. Although a considerable part of the entire pattern was covered by collapsed ruins, it could still be roughly determined that it was some kind of spider-like shape.
Zheng Zhi searched through his limited knowledge of occultism and foreign lands but could not find any corresponding information.
He also couldn't tell the style or origin of the building.
After walking along the edge of the hall for a long time, he finally found a door that looked like an exit.
The door was not locked, but just ajar. Zheng Zhi bravely walked forward and pushed it, and found that it opened easily.
"At least we can get out of this dangerous building..."
Zheng Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door, and peeked out. However, the sentence he hadn't finished was instantly cut off in his throat, and the rest of his breath was choked out in a loud cry: "...Fuck!!"
Fortunately, he took a look outside first, otherwise he would have almost stepped into nothingness.
There was nothing outside the hall - when you pushed open the door, you would see an empty, chaotic, dark space with no sky or earth, and no boundaries!
"...This is really not a situation I, an intern, should be facing..."
Zheng Zhi swallowed his saliva, his calves cramping as he looked at the situation outside. He hesitated for several seconds before mustering up the courage to stick his head out a little further and turn his head to look to both sides.
He saw that the entire hall he was in was floating in such darkness, and the hall itself seemed to be just a part of the structure torn off from a larger building.
He also saw more debris - large and small building fragments, and some were even just bare stones and soil, floating in the surrounding darkness, as if stirred by an invisible force, spinning and floating aimlessly in the nothingness.
He stared outside for a long time, and finally took a deep breath. He could no longer resist the depression and uneasiness in his heart, so he abruptly withdrew his gaze.
But at the moment he looked away, he suddenly felt that he saw something - in the deepest part of the darkness, there seemed to be some huge structure floating in the center of a large amount of debris.
Zheng Zhi rubbed his eyes hard and looked into the darkness as hard as he could, trying to distinguish the outline from the blurry and chaotic background, but he could not see anything clearly.
But after a while he reacted, quickly put the half lunch box in his hand on the ground beside him, and then quickly took out his mobile phone.
There is no signal on the mobile phone, but you don’t need an internet connection to take pictures - high-definition cameras powered by modern technology are better than the human eye.
Low light level, night vision, deep sky mode, AI compensation, smart overlay, full parameters.
Zheng Zhi pressed the shutter button and tried to hold the phone steady, and finally saw a relatively clear image appear on the screen.
A tall tower, built of black unknown material, stood tilted in the center of the wreckage, floating in the void as if it penetrated the entire space.
At the same time, within the limited range that the mobile phone can capture, the tower also presents another strange scene - its two ends seem to be infinitely "stretched", with no end in sight, and even extending to the depths of darkness that the camera cannot capture.
Zheng Zhi held the phone tightly in both hands, his eyes wide open, staring at the picture on the screen.
It took him a long time to react and realize that there seemed to be something at the edge of the picture.
Take a look, take a look, take a look...
A fatal "attraction" seemed to be stirring in his heart, and Zheng Zhi felt a buzzing in his ears. He slowly raised his mobile phone and aimed the camera at a certain position above the tower. He kept adjusting the picture, wanting to see more things in the chaotic darkness. After adjusting like this for an unknown amount of time, he finally saw some vague outlines appear in the center of the screen.
A dark star, a huge black celestial body - like a huge moon, it sat on the top of the endless tower, hanging indifferently above the countless floating debris around it.
When Zheng Zhi suddenly woke up, he realized that he had "walked out" of the broken hall where he had been hiding before, and was floating upwards uncontrollably.
He was attracted by the "black star" and floated towards the sky.
A bone-chilling chill suddenly spread throughout his limbs. Zheng Zhi screamed "Oh shit!" and tried hard to turn around and "run" back in this helpless chaos, but the surrounding environment was completely helpless. He used his hands and feet, but was unable to break free from the huge gravitational force coming from the "black star". He could only feel himself floating faster and faster, and flying higher and higher.
“What the hell—” The unfortunate trainee operator danced in the air, “Help…Brother Yu, help me!”
He didn't know why he suddenly thought of calling Yu Sheng for help. Anyway, when he was desperate, this name popped up in his mind subconsciously. And when he called it for the third time, a different kind of coldness suddenly surged into his heart.
Zheng Zhi widened his eyes in astonishment, and saw a pitch-black silk thread appear beside him at some point - in the dim environment around him, this black silk thread was originally difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, but for some reason this thread exuded an extremely strong "presence", and even seemed to be shining with a blazing fire in his field of vision.
Without even having time to think about it, Zheng Zhi raised his hand and grabbed the thin thread.
The bone-chilling coldness almost made him let go of his hand the next second.
But in fact, he couldn't loosen it even if he wanted to. The silk thread seemed to be alive and it tightly wrapped around him in an instant. Then, a huge pulling force suddenly came.
He also heard some familiar voices coming into his ears——
"I caught it, I caught it! Ouch, it's a bit heavy... My arm, my arm, my arm is about to break! Yusheng, help me!"
This was followed by a chaotic roar.
Irene screamed "Oh my god" and fell backwards. Fortunately, Yu Sheng was right behind her, and the little doll only hit his leg. A black spider silk flew into the air - the spider silk cut a twisted crack in the air like a hot knife cutting butter, and then a figure flew out of the crack, still maintaining the dog paddling motion in the air as it flew.
Zheng Zhi was pulled back by Irene.
Several people gathered around him instantly, helping their nephew up from the brink of fainting. Li Lin was at the front, and seeing the dazed expression on his face and the strangely cloudy and dull look in his eyes, his heart tightened. He raised his hand and slapped him twice: "Wake up! Wake up!"
After two slaps on his face, Zheng Zhi finally came back to his senses. He looked around dully, and after a while he said, "...I'm back?"
Yu Sheng first picked up the little doll that had hit his leg, then held its arm with both hands and examined it carefully. "How is it? Is the arm intact?"
"I was so scared, I almost broke! You made this body with lotus roots, and I told you it wasn't strong enough..." Irene patted her chest, muttering to herself as she nimbly rolled over and climbed onto Yu Sheng's arm, then turned to look at Zheng Zhi, who seemed still a little dizzy. "Hey, nephew, how are you?"
"Oh, I'm fine. I just fell and I'm a little dazed." Zheng Zhi finally regained consciousness. His frequent experience of falling into foreign lands and being rescued helped him quickly adjust his mentality. He then took out his phone immediately, "Brother Yu! I fell somewhere just now, but I took a picture! Come and take a look..."
Several eyes instantly fell on Zheng Zhi's mobile phone screen.
Yu Sheng also carried Irene over.
The little doll blinked its eyes, staring blankly at the contents on the screen along with the others. After a long while, it hesitantly looked up: "You don't have anything on here? It's all black..."
