Chapter 361 The Living Dead in the Royal City

"The royal city is indeed gone, but it is simply unscientific. According to the documents of the only three remaining cities, this royal city is clearly the area where you know the most about stone statues and black fog, but it just couldn't hold on. This is a bit outrageous."

This situation is completely unreasonable. Unless it is said that the crisis broke out in the royal city or the origin of the stone statues and black fog is the royal city, it is absolutely impossible to lose it.

"But things are not that absolutely true. Who knows what happened at the beginning? It would be possible if it was civil strife or something else."

"More importantly, the three cities have become isolated islands and no longer communicate with each other. They have even gradually lost contact with the surrounding villages."

Chen Xiyi knew that these explorers could only explore within a radius of five hundred miles of three cities. If they were far away, the supply of materials would not be enough to support them.

Unless it is said that a large-scale adventure can bring enough supplies, the relative danger will increase exponentially. After all, there are more people, it is easy to attract lost people.

The explorers are still in the age of cold weapons, not in the age of hot weapons, and they are all ordinary people. They have no chance of winning against the almost immortal lost people.

The more explorers there are, the more the breath of life emitted in the black fog can attract the lost.

Although many things are inconvenient to spread, at least the survival rate is much better than the multi-player team adventure. This is true. Most explorers are lone heroes, and a small number may form a multi-player team, but no matter how many there are, it will not exceed three people, otherwise the gathering of life will be quite strong.

Fortunately, the lost person will not escape the black fog, otherwise how could there be a living creature to survive?

"You can go to the vicinity of the royal city to take a look. Maybe you can dig something good, but I guess there are not many left." Chen Xiyi did not have much hope for this. Who knows how long it has been since the era of the royal city, and with the existence of the black fog and the Lost, it would be nice to have some left.

In this world, without the rising and setting sun, the whole world is dark, and the time scale has long since expired. Except for his game time and character identification experience, the other time measurement methods can basically be judged.

People in this world can only further judge the time based on the growth of crops or the consumption of some items. As for what time it is accurate, don't think about it.

Chen Xiyi also had a certain judgment on the location of the royal city. On the one hand, he was his spiritual consciousness. Although he was only in the fusion stage now, he could not resist his other modules. In addition to the previous documentary records, he quickly found the location of the royal city.

In an instant, Chen Xiyi came outside the royal city.

It was pitch black inside and outside the city, and countless lost people wandered in the royal city. These were the residents and princes and nobles who originally lived in the royal city.

Chen Xiyi walked into the royal city, and he felt an existence open his eyes and seemed to have discovered him.

"Interestingly, there are people here who can maintain themselves, and it seems to be fighting against the black fog. It's really a tenacious will." Chen Xiyi couldn't help but chuckled, and then went to a palace.

The palace was naturally filled with black fog, and on the throne in the center of the palace, there was a black-armored man locked by thick iron chains, who seemed to be an emperor.

"A strange outsider, are you here to attack me?" Zou Jin's voice was very strange, sounding like he was weak in muscles.

Chen Xiyi waved his hand and countless indescribable fogs appeared, and in an instant they eroded all the black fog.

Then he took out a flashlight and illuminated the entire palace.

"No, I'm just an ordinary person who comes to pursue the truth of history. Can you tell me all this?"

"Whether it is a stone statue or a black fog, or the Lost, etc., even if it is your story, I can listen to it."

The dazzling light made Zou Jin very uncomfortable. He didn't know how long it had been since he saw the light. He had always existed in the darkness, and his body and spirit were immersed in life and death. If he hadn't had his strong will, he might have been crazy long ago.

"Average people? Forget it, it doesn't matter." Zou Jin knew that this was definitely Chen Xiyi's self-modestness. The person who could ignore the black fog and the lost person came here to see him was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Everything is a bit long, I need to recall it carefully. After all, time has passed too long, and I have blurred everything." Zou Jin's tone seemed to have recollection. He looked at the light emitted from the flashlight, as if he had returned to the past.

"I vaguely remember that it was a sunny afternoon. My wife and I, sorry, not only forgot her face, but even my name, please forgive the memory of a person who has not known how long he has lived in the dark."

"At that time, I was still the crown prince and the crown prince of a country, back then."

Listening to Zou Jin's inconsistent statement, Chen Xiyi did not interrupt the other party, but just listened to the other party's words little by little.

The first half tells the life of a crown prince. Chen Xiyi became more and more confused about this. Why is there no spirit master and spirit? From this point of view, the extinction time of the spirit master and spirit is much earlier than he imagined.

The second half was different. The style of painting suddenly turned sharply, especially after Zou Jin ascended the throne, the black fog fell. At first, it was just a thin layer, and its pollution capacity was limited, so no one cared about it. Until the sun set one day, it never rose again. A huge human-shaped luminous creature named a stone statue appeared.

In contrast, the erosion of the black fog also turned into a horror in the eternal night, and a large number of people became lost. At this time, the royal family started research.

These studies were not led by Zou Jin, but led by his people, and he only needed to know the results.

For example, using the light of the stone statue to drive away the black fog, or using various techniques such as capturing, suppressing, and gushing out in an incomprehensible way, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But the senior officials never thought that what was placed in front of them was not only the problem of stone statues and black fog, but also food.

The outbreak of civil strife is one thing, and the other is naturally that those who are interested think that stone statues and fog are tools of ideological ambition, such as Zou Jin.

He was not as glorious as he imagined. He had ambitions and dirty things.

"So, you became the so-called King of Mist?"

After Zou Jin finished telling the story, Chen Xiyi did not find the relevant information he wanted, whether it was stone statue technology or the origin of the disaster.

Thinking about it, Zou Jin is an emperor and will definitely not participate in the research. He will only use the research results to gain benefits.

"Maybe it is." Zou Jin did not admit it or refute it.

Chen Xiyi knew the general situation of the other party, which was to use the light source on the chest of the stone statue and combine it with the black fog to achieve balance.

And in order to make Zou Jin obtain the power of the stone statue and the power of the black fog, it is a bit of a matter of course. The power was obtained, but it also instantly corrupted it.

In Chen Xiyi's eyes, the other party's steel will is definitely not born, but the ability to form spiritual power born after the two are balanced.

Without the will of steel, Zou Jin would definitely not be able to hold on for so long.

Then he was allowed to obtain the status of a living dead person between life and death, which made Zou Jin immortal.

The last evil thing in black fog may be that after staying in the black fog for a long time, it is more inclined to the black fog and eventually turns into evil things.

So, in this way, these chains are intended to suppress the negative impact of the black fog evil ability.

"If, I mean, if, I untied the chain on you, what would happen to you?" Chen Xiyi couldn't help asking.

"I don't know, but you can try it." Zou Jin's tone was very calm, and Chen Xiyi could not hear whether the other party was telling the truth or the lies.

Even the status bar did not show the other party’s psychological fluctuations just now, which made him very curious.

"Just give it a try. I have one of the biggest advantages, that is, I am not cheap." Although Chen Xiyi was very curious about this, he knew one thing: if you want to do an experiment, you must have a laboratory, otherwise it would be nonsense to do an experiment with this condition and environment.

Doing an experiment is not a killer of NPCs, so how can you do whatever you want?

"Where did you come from?" Zou Jin asked.

Chen Xiyi said without even looking back: "From wherever you come from, go wherever you go."

"How is the Great Pan Dynasty?"

"Let me tell you this, only three cities are still struggling to hold on, and the others are destroyed. I don't know how long these three cities can last." Chen Xiyi did not hide this from the other party. It has no meaning and is not a big secret.

Zou Jin was silent. Although he was prepared in his heart, he could not help but feel a little sad when he heard this from Chen Xiyi, even if he had been in this darkness for unknown periods.

"Oh~"

He opened his mouth and wanted to ask something, but in the end he didn't ask, and all the words turned into a sigh.

Chen Xiyi didn't have much pity for this. What does it have to do with him? He had nothing to do with pity for the other party, and it was not his doing. If the Emperor Dapan paid attention to the bottom instead of treating it as a cow and horse, how could the royal city be in chaos?

How could it perish if he is not confused? This is a sin made by himself. Why did Chen Xiyi want to pity the other party? It is because the other party is tortured in the black fog? Isn’t that also caused by his own pursuit of strength and immortality.

Zou Jin got the strength and immortality he wanted, and realized his long-cherished wish. Although he was bound here, he at least fulfilled his wish.

Even though he said that the other party beautified himself when he was telling a story to Chen Xiyi, Chen Xiyi also heard the meaning.

"Is it a bit too early for you to sigh now? It's not too late for you to sigh again after everyone dies." Chen Xiyi said.

Chen Xiyi's words are really detrimental. Zou Jin was not good enough to hear the complete answer. If you don't want to comfort others, don't speak.

"You can."

"No." Chen Xiyi immediately used the interrupting skill. Although he didn't know what the other party wanted to say, from this beginning, he definitely wanted to make a request.

After chatting for so long, I didn’t have any favorability at all, so I was definitely not a good person.

In this way, he is not a friend, but just a white-name NPC. How could Chen Xiyi help him? If you dream, you should close your eyes and fall asleep before doing it, rather than talking to him with your eyes open.

What you say with your eyes open is not sleeping, that is called lies.
