Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 86 The Curse of the Fiery Sun Forbidden Zone, the Hunt Ends
"To you who come later

Thousands or tens of thousands of years later

New humans or new civilization on Earth

We are the former owners of this place, the first batch of wasteland survivors to leave the shelter. We record our experiences here to warn you who come after us.

The Wandering Earth project went awry. It was supposed to be parked in Proxima Centauri orbit, but now it is orbited by three stars. The high temperature environment on the surface has eliminated more than 90% of species, and the original ecological restoration plan has ended in failure.

Liu, Yang, and I led the remaining survivors in the shelter and began to survive on the desolate surface.
Initially, the casualties were severe, until the mutant wildebeests were discovered. By following them, they found migration points around the world, and were able to replenish water in time at each point.

Lao Yang recorded the punctuation points on the map to facilitate future supplies along the way."

The first paragraph ends here, because it is right next to the word "Laoshan" and is very easy to find.

Lin Feng looked around and soon found another record engraved with words:

"It took us six years to get back to square one.
Three suns evaporate 99% of the world's ice, making it difficult to find water on the surface. Fortunately, the landform structure of this bay can gather water vapor in the air and connect to the groundwater in the riverbed.
All the members who chose to stay in the shelter died after entering the scorching sun exposure area. No one was spared.
Their bodies were burned to ashes, but there was no sign of burning inside the shelter.

Lao Liu thought it was some kind of unknown spontaneous combustion.

The reason must be related to the exposure to the scorching sun. We have also designated that place as a restricted area.

Any shelter that has been opened and exposed to the Sun Forbidden Zone will be cursed with spontaneous combustion.
We recruited many survivors along the way and set up a temporary camp in the Gulf Rift Valley. After walking tens of thousands of kilometers, everyone needed to rest. Many pregnant women in the team were about to give birth.
This is the first new life of mankind in the new world
Lao Liu told me that the three direct points of the sun are always on the south equator, and the moving speed remains unchanged. The further north you go, the less you travel near the Arctic Circle, and it is not that hot.

I said that less distance means less resources.
The temperature is too high when we go south to the equator. Our team is currently located north of the Tropic of Cancer, which is just right. When our strength improves, we will explore the equator and the North Pole and look for planetary engines to build there.

Something must have gone wrong there, causing the Earth to stop between three stars
Lao Liu nodded and said that he had once wanted to write a science fiction novel about the Three-Body Galaxy, but he never expected that one day he would be there in person.

I said that maybe after dehydration, we can adapt to the high temperature exposure in the restricted area. Unfortunately, with the current level of human technology, we can't even carry out the most basic experiments.

When the forbidden area of ​​​​Liyang approached, someone came to the mountain to look out and observe the changes in the forbidden area, and as a result, a partial spontaneous combustion of the brain occurred.

Our initial guess was correct.

See you in the next six years

Seeing the experiences of the first generation of explorers in the wasteland thousands of years ago, Lin Feng looked heavy-hearted, as if there was something behind him, watching him.

If there really is one, it can only be the big sun that is constantly approaching, and it is also the creator of the scorching sun forbidden zone.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Lin Feng continued to search for the remains of his predecessors near the rubble pile on the top of the mountain.

Soon, the last two inscriptions were found on another piece of rubble. Compared with the previous inscriptions, which were slightly blurred, the inscriptions on these two pieces were deeper and more powerful.

This indicates that the person who carved the words was very strong and had significantly improved his strength, and could easily carve the words on the hard rock:
"I didn't expect to come back again, thirty years later

Over the years, we have opened up many safe global shipping routes, marked hundreds of water supply points, and the team has continued to grow as we explore urban ruins and shelters.
Forming a large fleet of over 10,000 people
Once the problem of food and clothing is solved, a large amount of productivity can be liberated to restore civilization.

But modern industry requires population and a stable environment
We are tired of migrating and can only bring as much supplies as possible when collecting, making it difficult to settle down.

After discussing the idea with Lao Yang, we decided to build a mobile kingdom on the ground. However, this requires a very high energy supply. Currently, the only known engine that can propel billions of tons of buildings and achieve land travel is the planetary engine that was originally built.

Fortunately, Lao Liu was a special engineer in the past and had participated in the specific design and construction of the engine. He knew that additional heavy nuclear fusion devices were built underground in some important cities to ensure the operation of the shelter for thousands of years.
This will also be a new starting point for human civilization."

After reading this, Lin Feng took a deep breath. Perhaps the Oasis battleships in Oasis Town were using the power devices left over from the old Earth era.

Then for the large mobile city clusters further ahead, only planetary engines can provide the forward propulsion.

Only in this way can we explain how a steel castle weighing hundreds of millions of tons can travel safely across the wasteland.

But what Lin Feng wanted to know more right now was the secret of the Lieyang Forbidden Zone behind it.

He had a hunch that the mysterious curse in the Lieyang Forbidden Zone was the key to solving Sanri Lingkong's dilemma.

And below this trace, there are the last few lines of text engraved, which are also the last engraving records here:

"After fifty years of the Wasteland, three hundred years later,

Lao Liu and I returned to the starting point, while Lao Yang has become the mayor of the City of Hope and is gradually drifting away from us.

Lao Liu has been studying the self-ignition curse of the Lieyang Forbidden Zone and has preliminarily analyzed that it is related to a special energy, just like microwave heating, which will ignite the spiritual power in the brain of higher life forms.
Therefore, advanced life forms cannot survive the scorching sun restricted zone unless they undergo surgery to remove part of their brain.
Plant seeds and lower arthropods can survive the scorching heat of the mysterious energy unscathed.

This may be a curse for higher life forms.
Or maybe we are just sheep, driven forward by the restricted area, like being herded

Lao Liu said that the planet is expanding, and now the equator is more than 40,000 kilometers. Our location is only the original length of the equator. The violent movement of the crustal plates has made most of the underground shelters disappear.

We have only excavated less than 5% of the shelters so far. The remaining small and medium-sized ones are not in the originally recorded locations. Perhaps one day in the future, they will reappear in the world and bring the dormant survivors to the world in front of us.
Lao Liu said his daughter and wife are still in the Taishan refuge behind Laoshan, so he comes every year, but his hope is slim.

"One hundred years in the wasteland, six hundred years later

This water supply point has completely dried up, which means we need to delete this marker.
Lao Liu doesn't want this to happen. He hopes that one day when his wife and daughter wake up, they can be rescued by the team along the way, instead of facing the harsh wasteland and leaving in pain.

I promised him that I would come every wasteland year, but he knew better than anyone that after our generation left, future generations would abolish or forget this custom for various reasons.
So in this year, he chose to sacrifice himself, integrate the genes of the alien beast, erase the structure of his brain, and at the cost of becoming a lower life form, stay in the rift valley cave, dig and dredge the underground river.
Ensure that this water source can last forever
Until the shelter appears and reopens
As one of the few old friends left, I wanted to persuade him, but Lao Liu had made up his mind.
When we finally parted, he told me that the Sun Forbidden Zone might contain an evolutionary path different from that of life on Earth, and it was also the key to unlocking the curse.

Tell me to tell Lao Yang that as the city lord, he must always pay attention to the Lieyang restricted area.

If an adaptive being emerges one day, even if it can only leave the restricted area for a short time, it will be a terrible disaster for the migrating humans outside the area.
It will release the blaze of the sun
Ignite the flame of wisdom and burn out advanced civilization

As a latecomer, don't stare at the Lieyang Forbidden Zone for too long.

The curse follows you like a shadow, passing through the lens of your eye and etched into your brain tissue, becoming firewood."

After reading these descriptions, Lin Feng was deeply shocked and stood there motionless for a long time.

I couldn't help but feel a wave of fear for my own recklessness. After all, my eyes were already stinging. If I kept looking, I might be assimilated into firewood...

Died from spontaneous combustion!

The stone inscription record of thousands of words also ends here, spanning a full six hundred years from the first time people set foot here.

Those awakened people used their wisdom and blood and tears to explore a path of global migration for future generations.

It also leaves behind valuable experience to remind those who come after us about the real dangers of the Fiery Sun Forbidden Zone.

Before this, Lin Feng had never understood why the survivors who woke up did not continue to stay in the shelter, relying on the time of sunlight exposure to collect and store enough resources to survive the two years of scorching sun and high temperature zone.

Now it seems that the real danger is not the high temperature of 70, 80, or even 100 degrees, but the scorching sun restricted area itself.

The curse exists in the form of energy waves, and the area covered by the Fiery Sun Forbidden Zone is itself a huge electromagnetic steamer, and the radiation is the trigger of the spontaneous combustion curse.

Surviving was already incredibly difficult, and having to guard against the unknown beings assimilated into the restricted area was simply hellish. After digesting the warnings left behind by the pioneers thousands of years ago, Lin Feng stood up and searched the pile of rocks on the top of the mountain, inside and out, to confirm that nothing had been missed.

Afterwards, he lay down in the shadow behind a huge rock, waiting for the chieftain-level rock wildebeest below to vent its anger and leave.

The Fiery Sun Forbidden Zone in the distance is getting closer and closer.

The temperature on Mount Jufeng is also rising.

Lin Feng believed that it would not be long before the giant rock-armored beast could no longer bear it, give up the chase, and leave.

And it also has to catch up with the distant herd of rock wildebeest.

Sure enough, after about two or three hours, the banging and panting sounds at the foot of the mountain disappeared.

After drinking water and eating meat, Lin Feng had recovered most of his strength, so he got up and walked down the mountain.

Later, on the Shouzi platform on the mountainside, we saw the giant rock-armored beast that had left Jufeng Mountain and was chasing the migrating horses more than ten kilometers away.

There was no trace of the rock horse chariot nearby.

Lin Feng felt relieved and started to go down the mountain.

The sloped stairs that he had climbed earlier were all destroyed by the enraged beast.

This guy planned to trap Lin Feng on the top of the mountain and eventually burn him to death under the scorching sun.

It was only a drop of more than ten meters and a seventy-degree slope, but it was not a problem for Lin Feng, who had evolved into the middle stage of the first stage.

He quickly climbed up and jumped down smoothly.

By the time Lin Feng reached the foot of the mountain at a quick trot, the giant beast had already disappeared from the scenic area.

It's time to reunite with the team members.

Lin Feng walked out of the Laoshan Scenic Area cautiously and stood on a small hill at the edge. There was no trace of the giant beast.

They must have caught up with the migrating herd and left it a hundred kilometers away.

However, Lin Feng himself and Chen Shanshan and her group were lost, and now they could only return to the river behind the rift to see if they would stay nearby.

The huge ruins cover hundreds of square kilometers, and it is not easy to find each other in it.

Lin Feng walked into the city ruins and headed west.

Not long after, he keenly heard a dog barking.

It's the voice of the divine dog.

"I'm here!"

Lin Feng then climbed to a high place in the ruins, waved and shouted loudly.

More than a hundred meters away from him, Ding Yi and Liu Qian, holding the magic dog, also climbed onto the rubble.

The two sides then reunited.

After eating and drinking enough these days, the divine dog has grown to the size of a rural dog, and its strength has also been enhanced to the second level.

At this moment, it excitedly surrounded Lin Feng's feet, wagging its tail and twisting its butt.

Ding Yi stepped forward with a little excitement:

"Thanks to this little guy, his nose is very sensitive."

Lin Feng touched the dog's head, then looked at the two of them:

"What about the others? Did they catch the prey?"

Liu Qian came over and said:

"We brought back seven rockhorn beetles, including two mid-stage first-level male leaders, four early-stage first-level females, and one early-stage first-level male rockhorn beetle. My brother successfully captured them alive and is currently paralyzing them with venom."

"The chariot camp is right on the edge of the bay. Someone needs to watch over the live horses while A-Lian and the others deal with the carcasses."

"So I sent Ding Yi and I to find you."

Lin Feng nodded:
"Let's go. Time is running out. After we finish dealing with this, we must set off as soon as possible and return to Oasis Town."

The three men and the wolf quickly returned to the camp.

Seeing Lin Feng return safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked happy.

After all, they saw the giant rock-armored beast leave and guessed that Lin Feng had met with an accident.

Lin Feng, who escaped the disaster, did not feel relaxed and relieved. Instead, he immediately put down his backpack, pulled out a dagger and machete, and helped to dissect the horse's corpse.

"Less than twenty hours left, speed up."

Lin Feng glanced at the time and urged.

Liu Qian then joined the dissection team.

Ding Yi started to dehydrate the piles of fresh horse meat.

Lin Feng checked them one by one.

Fortunately, among the two mid-stage male leaders, one has evolved to level 15.

It can help you upgrade to the next level.

At this moment, the migrating beasts in the wild rift that was originally noisy and noisy disappeared without a trace.

The wilderness returned to peace.

Hunting season is over.
