Chapter 188 Slums



Less than five minutes into the game, some countries had already suffered personnel losses.

Zhang Baye raised his hand nervously and, after obtaining An Zhi's consent, told her about it.

"What did he do that would make the natives call the police?" Han Jiuying quickly realized the key to the problem. "The natives speak the same language as the Chosen Ones, but it's different from the machine's private language. I'm afraid the Chosen Ones need some kind of translation machine."

Before he could finish speaking, a cool, clear voice rang out beside him:

“Mythology, language barrier, this reminds me of a Western myth.” It was Xia Qingkong who spoke up.

Everyone present was experienced, and someone immediately understood: "You mean the Tower of Babel?" The Tower of Babel, also known as the "Tower of Babel," is a legendary tower that shocked and angered God.

In Western classics, there is a story that tells of how, after the Great Flood, Noah's Ark returned to Earth. Because they all came from one family, they all spoke the same language and had the same accent. Their numbers grew, and they even attempted to unite and build a tower that could reach heaven.

How could God allow these ants to infringe upon His authority? So, He prepared to punish those who did not believe in Him, just as He punished Adam and Eve for eating the forbidden fruit.

To thwart humanity's plan, God used his power to make humans no longer speak the same language and unable to communicate with each other. As a result, humans began to quarrel because they could not understand each other, leading to more conflicts. The plan failed, and humans went their separate ways.

This is something Western religious sects use to explain why humans don't understand each other's languages, just like how the Chinese use the story of "Hou Yi shooting down the sun" to explain why there is only one sun in the sky.

“That’s right. I suspect that the world is like the Tower of Babel, dividing humanity through different languages.”

Xia Qingkong nodded.

Having understood her meaning, An Zhi then said to Zhang Baye, "Continue to track the situation in that live stream. From the perspective of the rules, see if the resurrected Chosen One will inherit the previous progress."

If that's the case, then there's basically no room for the think tank to play a role in this instance.

In the previous instance, they could still provide support, but if this instance really won't restart, it means that the actions of each chosen one will create a butterfly effect, making it impossible for them to make effective references and comparisons.

"By the way, you should also send a few people to help Xiao Zhang's side." An Zhi then said to Wang Shouzhi, "We need to try to find the other four countries in the same world as Yin Zhu so that I can negotiate with them."

That might not be easy...

Wang Shouzhi quickly glanced at the message he had received and didn't dare to say anything. According to his intelligence, more than 90% of the Chosen Ones had no intention of leaving their homes. He didn't know if they had received a warning from their country or discovered something.

Without rules, it's like standing on thin ice; you never know if you'll fall into a hole next.

Ten minutes have passed now.

After discovering that there were no rules in the room, Yin Zhu did not leave the room rashly.

It was a very cramped room, filled with an unpleasant, sour smell, as if the fabric had become moldy from being kept out of the light for so long. Everything inside was old and worn, the walls were mottled and spotted, and strange water stains or something else could be vaguely seen.

The most valuable thing in the whole house was probably the bed, which was supposed to be fairly sturdy. It was covered with bedding that probably hadn't been washed in a long time, and even the pillows had greasy stains on them.

Yin Zhu threw the pillow aside in disgust, wondering if she really had to live in such a terrible place.

If Yin Zhu hadn't known that this instance was called "Cyber ​​Mythology," she would have mistakenly thought she had transmigrated to some place before the founding of the People's Republic of China—judging from the environment, she had most likely transmigrated to some slum in this world.

This place is indeed a good starting point.

Few people care about the life or death of someone from the bottom of society, so even if the chosen ones replace them, not many people will notice.

After all, they're not family members of "Green House".

When Yin Zhu was searching the house, she found a loaf of bread wrapped tightly in paper at the bottom of a box. Although it was definitely not freshly baked, it smelled quite fresh.

This bread is only enough for one meal, so she has to find a way to get food by tomorrow at the latest.

This is somewhat similar to Sin City.

Looking down at my clothes again, they also looked like they had been worn for a long time. In addition to various wear and tear marks and stains, the knees and some other places looked like they had been patched up for another three years.

Did I find a needle and thread in the room just now?

Yin Zhu had no recollection of it. She searched through the house again and was certain that there was no such thing in the poor and dilapidated house. She had a rough idea of ​​what was going on—it seemed that it could only be obtained through other means.

When exploring the rules earlier, Yin Zhu didn't see any cameras, so it seems that this place is indeed so poor that there is no need for surveillance.

Rather than finding other chosen ones, Yin Zhu felt it was more important to understand this world first.

We need to find the rules of this world first.

I glanced warily outside the door. The concrete and steel floor of the stairwell was uneven, suggesting that the building was just a haphazardly constructed structure.

There's no fancy peephole on the door; it's just a cheap piece of plastic.

A little girl walked past the door, seemingly unaware that an eye was peeking out from behind the half-open door. Only after confirming the little girl had left did Yin Zhu step out of her dwelling to further explore this new world.
