I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 770 New Directions
Lan Xin recounted what happened in the dark night very seriously, and Li Luo was listening with fear in his heart.

Going through the darkness doesn't seem to be an easy thing.

"Is there a map? Is there a map in the darkness?"

"No." Lan Xin shook her head: "The night is changing."

"Changed?"

"Yes, for example, the crooked valley I just mentioned sometimes appears outside Hongguang City, and sometimes disappears. It's as if every area in the dark night is controlled by someone and keeps changing its position."

"Is there a pattern?" Li Luo asked.

If there is a pattern, it can still be predicted.

But Lan Xin still shook her head: "Some have, some don't. Those that change according to time patterns can be easily predicted, but there are many that have no pattern, or the pattern has not been discovered. These areas may appear at your current location in the next second, and there is no way to escape."

Li Luo was stunned. In this case, the danger was completely unpredictable.

"Why did the area change?" She still didn't quite understand.

"This is the characteristic of the night, just like the drift of plates. There may be some kind of force under the night that is constantly affecting the area above."

Lan Xin told Li Luo that this "night drift theory" was only recently proposed by human scientists.

Previously, humans believed that areas with strange phenomena only appeared occasionally, or were "fixed" and only erupted in certain places.

But later humans discovered that the same phenomenon might occur in many places, as if migration was taking place in the area. This situation was very common, and there were many records of it.

"The Ashfall Zone was a very famous area on the fifth layer of the Abyss. People who entered this area would be covered in a layer of ash. This layer of ash would emit an extremely pungent smell that could drive away most dark creatures."

"People used to think that the Ash Drop Zones were everywhere on the fifth layer of the Abyss because people would often mistakenly enter one and get covered in ash. But later, after research, it was discovered that these Ash Drop Zones were all the same. A researcher who specialized in Ash Drop Zones placed equipment in an Ash Drop Zone, and then he discovered that the equipment appeared in 'other' Ash Drop Zones, and only then did he realize this."

Later people proposed the "Night Drift Theory" based on this evidence.
The Drifting Night Theory holds that all areas on the Eternal Night Continent were once a unified huge block, called the Pan-Night or the United Night. At a certain point in time, it began to split and drift, gradually reaching its current position.

The dynamic mechanism of the night drift is related to the two components of the abyss: the downward sinking force and the spiral force around the center.

Those areas in the dark have different physical properties. Under the influence of sinking force and spiral force, they will produce different degrees of "tearing" and "collision", and then throw these areas somewhere.

Or it may react with the physical properties within these areas, causing the position of this area to begin to have a certain regular periodic motion.

Of course, not all "darkness" is drifting. There will be many "fixed points" that are fixed in a certain place due to force balance or their own strength. These places will become landmarks for humans to judge their positions.

"Hongguang City is a fixed point, and so is Dream City, but there is a dark area between the two areas. What is in the darkness is uncertain..."

After listening to Lan Xin's story, Li Luo nodded in understanding.

If you want to go to Dream City, the darkness in the middle should be the main source of danger.

“Is there any way to get through this darkness safely?”

"The best way is to use a teleportation relic. If you don't have one, you can only go by yourself." Lan Xin replied.

Li Luo didn't have any teleportation relics, so she had no choice but to give up this path.

"If we just walk over there, what's the survival rate?"

"I'm not sure. There probably aren't any specific statistics."

“Can I use transportation?”

"Of course not." Lan Xin immediately rejected Li Luo's idea: "The sound made by vehicles will bring a lot of dangers. Not only that, riding in vehicles will also affect your reaction and judgment of the area. In some places, you can react slowly, but rushing recklessly will only lead to death."

After hearing this, Li Luo also understood that it seemed that he could only walk slowly.

Now, there are a lot of things that need to be prepared.

"Supplies, night vision goggles, spare equipment and batteries..." Li Luo muttered with her head down, and her mumbling also drifted into Lan Xin's ears. As if she could see Li Luo's troubles, Lan Xin patted her shoulder.

"Don't worry about supplies and equipment. I have them all."

Lan Xin waved to Li Luo and took her to a hidden alley.

After knocking on the ground, Lan Xin suddenly pulled open a blue board, and a passage appeared in front of Li Luo.

This is actually a basement.

"Go down..."

Lan Xin walked down with her back bent, and Li Luo followed closely behind her.

After going down to the basement, Li Luo discovered that there was a different world here. Various supplies were neatly arranged on the shelves.

"What is this?" Li Luo asked in shock.

"It's for war preparation. I was planning to fight the Origin Cells till the end of time, but I don't think they will be needed anymore. I plan to donate them all to the human organization in Hongguang City. Before that, you can take whatever you want."

Li Luo looked at the complete supplies and did not refuse. He said thank you readily.

"You're welcome. I don't need it anyway."

While expressing her gratitude, Li Luo took out a card from her bag and handed it to Lan Xin.

"What is this?" Lan Xin held the small card, somewhat confused.

"If you go to other places and meet an official organization, you can use the Yuanxin Technology shopping card directly. Yuanxin Technology has cooperation with the official organization."

"Shopping card? How much is it?" Lan Xin looked at it over and over again. This card was really useful to her. When she arrived at a new place and prepared to fight against the Origin Cell, she could just go directly to the official to purchase supplies and there would be no need to go through so much trouble.

"How much is it?" Lan Xin asked curiously.

Hearing Lan Xin's question, Li Luo was stunned. He glanced upwards and started muttering, as if he was calculating the amount on the shopping card.

"How much... I can't quite remember."

"It's okay if you don't remember." Lan Xin patted Li Luo's shoulder: "Thank you."

She carefully put the card away and expressed her gratitude to Li Luo again.

"Please pick out the supplies you want here first. I have to notify the human organization in Hongguang City and ask them to take over this place."

"Okay." Li Luo agreed.

Lan Xin didn't waste any time and quickly left the basement.

Li Luo waited for a while, then ran to the basement door and looked around. After confirming that Lan Xin had really left, he hurried to Mo Ling.

"What's wrong?" Mo Ling asked curiously.

Ever since they were in the small pavilion, Li Luo seemed to have always wanted to say something to him, but for now, these words could not be said in front of Lan Xin.

Li Luo looked at Mo Ling and pinched the purple cloak on his body.

"Someone just wanted to add me as a friend, but I ignored him."

"Then it kept sending me friend requests."

"That person's name seems to be..."

"Youda."
