Chapter 137 The Fragmented Scene
Meanwhile, in the 249 contaminated area.
The room looked like a standard apartment, with no sign of life.
The semi-open kitchen was spotless.
Six sentries stood in the living room, their bodies tense, their eyes fixed on the closed door.
—Knock knock knock.
Is... anyone there?
"Could you... give me... some water..."
The six sentries dared not make a sound, nor even approach the door to check.
"Is...no one... here?"
—Bang bang bang!
The knocking turned into banging on the door, followed by a scream, "Give me water! Give me water!!!"
Wu Kui's throat bobbed, his hand holding the weapon trembled, and he asked his companions with his eyes.
what to do?
They mistakenly entered a contaminated area.
Initially, it was thought that the desire for water was an obsession of the mutant frogmen.
In order to get the key and leave, the group hurried to find water.
Unexpectedly, after being given water, these frogmen evolved again and launched an attack.
Bullets are useless against them.
There were nine people when they came in, but now there are only six left.
They are trapped here.
If they don't find a way to break through, even if they aren't killed by these monsters, they will starve to death due to lack of food.
No one answered him.
No one dared to make a sound or cause any disturbance.
Time seemed to slow down.
After an unknown amount of time, the noise outside the door gradually subsided.
Everyone remained motionless.
After a while, a spirit came to the door and cautiously peered through the peephole.
Once they confirmed that the monster had left, the group finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Some of them collapsed to the ground.
No one had ever been inside the contaminated zone before. Bullets were useless against the monsters here, and they dared not use their abilities recklessly. They were helpless in the face of their current predicament.
"Do you think we can get out of here alive?" a sentry murmured listlessly.
A drop of sweat dripped from his temple.
He can't take it anymore!
The other sentry's face was extremely grim. He suddenly turned his head and growled in a low voice at the other man who hadn't said a word, "Yang Li! If you hadn't chosen to enter this frozen world, how could we be trapped here!"
The sentry named Yang Li remained silent.
Wu Kui's hands trembled so much he almost dropped his weapon, and he managed to say, "What's the use of blaming? Everyone participated in the vote; it wasn't just Yang Li who made the decision."
"Besides, can you guarantee that the situation isn't the same elsewhere? It might even be more dangerous."
They have held out here for at least many days.
As long as you hide and don't let the frogmen find you...
"Quiet down! Think of a way to get out." The sentry standing by the window was agitated.
"go out?"
Yang Li looked up and gave a wry smile. "Who doesn't want to get out?"
Where is the key?
Why are the keys that were explained in the science popularization materials at the four major bases useless, and I can't find them no matter how hard I look...?
If he dies in the contaminated area, his son will not survive either.
He wanted to get out more than anyone else.

Xie Tu had entered countless polluted areas, but he had never seen such a bizarre sight.
At this moment, the six members of Team Zero were standing in the dark void.
An area the size of a football field.
Like lights and shadows on a stage, it can be seen from all directions.
Directly in front of them was a strange scene pieced together from countless fragments.
The fragments varied in size and shape; some resembled broken glass reflecting a cold, eerie light, while others looked like the remains of a building.
These fragments slowly rotated and floated in the air, yet never actually touched each other, creating a fragmented and eerie scene.
Shift your gaze to the right.
The bustling street seemed to have been put on pause.
The people there turned into a blurry image, their smiles frozen on their faces.
Their postures varied; some were standing, some were sitting, and some even seemed frozen in time during a run.
The smiles on everyone's faces, even the curve of the corners of their mouths, were the same.
An indescribable eeriness...
It's terrifying.
On the left, however, was a scene of chaos and disorder.
The empty house stood silently, its doors and windows tightly shut, as if it might swallow up any living creature that dared to approach at any moment.
Along the street, shop signs were crooked, and the streetlights cast dappled shadows.
The area next to it suddenly transforms into a lakeside park during the daytime.
All the images are static and fragmented, like several scenes from a dream pieced together.
"Holy crap! What the hell is this?!" Tao Haohao cursed under his breath.
He couldn't help but look back at the path he had come from.
The entrance area had somehow become a corridor.
It looks like a hospital corridor from a horror movie.
There is no end.
Countless ghostly figures remained still, including nurses, patients, and family members...
Looking back, there were at least twenty scenes of varying sizes surrounding them in the surrounding light and shadow.
To get the key and leave, the intruder must choose a scene to enter.
Duan Xi's expression changed, and he couldn't help but yell, "How the hell am I supposed to choose?!"
The green fluorescence quickly spread, dispelling the dark matter in the field and illuminating the area around Team Zero.
This dark area is quite spacious, about the size of a football field.
Apart from dark matter, there is no danger.
Yun Zhao sat on the ammunition box, panting.
Although her teammates carried most of the supplies, relieving her of a lot of pressure.
But braving the thin air, the biting wind, the cold and lack of oxygen, climbing up almost cost her her life.
The contaminated area was exactly as she had imagined.
—Oxygen is plentiful and the temperature is normal.
I can finally rest.
Yun Zhao put his military overcoat under him to make himself a little more comfortable.
The little bluebird popped out, jumped onto her head, stared at the five people with solemn expressions, and let out a sneer.
"Pfft."
Duan Xi has already released his spiritual body.
The peregrine falcon flew around the edge of the field once before returning and landing on his arm.
Duan Xi: "It's normal to not dare to let it in; it's a dark place."
Xie Tu was carefully examining every scene.
According to the sentries at the Dangcheng camp and the two children's accounts.
The supplies the search team found on the edge of the contaminated area were mostly daily necessities and some canned food.
It's not hard to see that the gatekeeper is using these supplies to lure humans in, or to take the opportunity to devour them.
"This goalkeeper is very intelligent."
Xie Tu said, "First, thoroughly survey the environment. Song Liang, go to the north, the rabbit to the east, Duan Xi to the south, and Tao Haohao to the west. Remember, do not step into any of the scenes."
It is very likely that the scene will be activated once someone enters.
The rules are currently unclear; proceed with caution.
"yes!"
The four agreed and cautiously approached the light and shadow.
Everyone couldn't help but mutter to themselves.
Given this stark contrast, what exactly is the nature of the gatekeeper?
Xie Tu walked over to Yun Zhao with concern, bent down and said, "Don't stray too far from me."
Yun Zhao's breathing gradually became steady, and he reached out and grabbed the strap of his backpack.
"good."
Xie Tu was taken aback, then suddenly chuckled softly.
He took out the map drawn by Song Liang to examine it.
It can be confirmed that none of the scenes here belong to the terrain of the Qilian Mountains.
This is a domain freely generated by the gatekeeper...
