this infinite world

Chapter 1169: Formation...?

——In a ruin in Raccoon City, a very strange thing is happening.

Richard, the "Berserker" of the Nanyanzhou team, was like an ordinary renovation worker at this time. He placed a red mailbox in front of a house that was completely destroyed and only vaguely visible with the main door facing south. At the same time, he confirmed again in the mind chain: "Is this okay?"

"Yeah, no problem, just leave it there."

Looking at the decoration in front of him... or perhaps it can be called the construction site, Qi Tengyi nodded with satisfaction, and while looking at the finished scene in front of him, he marked a "√" on the long list in his hand and said, "Everyone in the Nanyanzhou team, you have worked so hard."

"Nothing, just setting up some things, no effort at all."

Not far from Qi Tengyi, Neos was a tree planter on the street. He was holding a short cypress tree and planting it in a dug hole... If you look closely, there is even an empty bird's nest on the cypress tree.

After doing all this, Neos clapped his hands and turned to look at Qi Tengyi: "Next, how many more?"

"Let me see... there are probably about twenty pieces here."

As he spoke, Qi Tengyi took out a plastic turtle that looked like a toy that children would play with in the bath, and threw it into a nearly dry puddle with only a shallow layer of dirty water. In the past few days, he had done this many times, which seemed inexplicable to outsiders.

Neos did not express any opinion about Qi Tengyi's actions. Perhaps he would not normally do these seemingly meaningless chores, but for Qi Tengyi who had helped them a lot in the Xuanyuan Sword World, even if Neos was arrogant, he could not say a word of rejection.

But the reason why wise men are wise men is that they have an IQ that exceeds that of ordinary people, and a unique thinking circuit and way of thinking, as well as an extremely strong desire for knowledge. Among all types of wise men, Neos is the one who likes to collect intelligence the most.

"Speaking of which, what are these things for?"

Seeing Qi Tengyi's actions, Neos asked casually as if chatting: "I don't feel too much energy fluctuation from these items, it's as if they are just simple sundries."

As he spoke, Neos silently observed Qi Tengyi's facial expression, trying to read the corresponding information from his face, and said: "Of course, I don't mean to ask you any questions. If you don't want to say it, or if there is some secret that we can't know, then just pretend that I didn't say it..."

"Okay, put away your tricks."

Just as Neos was trying to get some information out of him, N, who was originally the captain of the South Yanzhou team but was now also demoted to an ordinary player, jumped out from nowhere. He pressed down Neos's proud head like the elder brother of twin brothers, and smiled apologetically at Qi Teng, saying, "Sorry, this guy is too rude. We didn't mean to pry. After all, this must involve the corresponding layout of your Zhongzhou team..."

"Nothing. In fact, I don't know much more than you."

Facing the interaction between the two, Qi Tengyi did not take it to heart, but smiled good-temperedly: "In fact, Chu Xuan just gave me this bunch of strange things and the corresponding list, and did not tell me any information." Just as N and Neos were disappointed, Qi Tengyi suddenly changed the subject: "However, he did not force me to keep it secret... So what I am going to say next is actually my own guess, and I may need your help to analyze it."

"Of course that's no problem."

Upon hearing these words, both N, who was forcibly controlling Neos, and Neos, who was struggling with his head stuck under the other's armpit, suddenly stopped moving and agreed at almost the same time.

The two of them just maintained this awkward posture, listening attentively to Qi Tengyi's explanation: "Nios, you just said that these things are just simple sundries, which is actually not wrong. Even the slight energy fluctuation you felt was just the formation that Chu Xuan asked me to imprint in advance."

"This micro-array formation actually has only two functions: the first is to provide effective protection for these items in the possible aftermath of the battle, minimizing their complete damage; the second is to reduce the presence of these items, making it difficult for passing zombies to detect and destroy them. Even the array formation is actually just a mass-produced product on the assembly line, and the technical content is not high... Therefore, even you can easily set it up and operate it."

"Based on my understanding of Chu Xuan, that guy would never do anything meaningless... But, what exactly is he going to do?"

He didn't pay much attention to the words "even if it was you". After hearing these words, not only Neos, but also N was confused.

The two blond young men with the same appearance looked at each other, seemingly exchanging ideas and information. But through Qi Tengyi's words, they could only come to a common conclusion: "Could it be that these things are used as corresponding nodes to borrow the power of heaven and earth?"

"But, even we can borrow the power of heaven and earth from the Xuanyuan Sword world. If the Zhongzhou team can already ignore the Lord's protective shield, then the power of the world's will is already a drop in the bucket for you, right?"

"As for this, even I don't know." Qi Teng gave an apologetic smile.

In fact, Qi Tengyi was not completely ignorant. At least it was not only the Nanyanzhou team that was doing these inexplicable things. On the other side of Raccoon City, the Beibingzhou team led by Xiao Honglu Law Firm was actually doing the same work... It was just that there was no need to explain all these things to Neos and N.

——Chu Xuan, what are you going to do? Thousands of nodes, with the Hive as the center, covering Raccoon City, and all kinds of strange and varied catalysts...

——From the perspective of how quantitative change leads to qualitative change, this doesn’t seem like a formation in the cultivation system, but more like some kind of legendary magic technique…

By constantly simulating Yang Yun's way of thinking through the third-order gene lock, and thinking back to the time when he accidentally saw Chu Xuan exchange some items from the Lord God in the Lord God Square, Qi Tengyi had a rough guess in his mind. But before he could continue thinking, he heard a roar suddenly coming from the air -

"I found you, Qi Tengyi!"
