Chapter 144 I Feel Like I Am Disrespecting Him by Standing Here! (Please Subscribe, Please Vote)
The carriage of this train is completely closed, and you can't see the scenery along the way, which makes the atmosphere in the carriage relatively dull.
There were no stewards pushing carts to sell goods, just a group of prisoners and some prison guards.
There are no other stops along the way, only the final place of trial, Paradise.
All the Chosen Ones knew nothing about the paradise, so they began to get some useful information from nearby prisoners.
That is to say, ask where the paradise is and what dangers you will encounter.
During this period, Zhang Yangqing saw a 'poster' posted on the train.
It looked like an advertisement for a tourist attraction. The poster looked to be old, and the writing on it was a bit muddy.
But the picture can be seen clearly. There is a towering giant tree on the poster.
Compared to it, other trees are as short as grass.
At that time, the sky here seemed to be still blue and the sunshine had not disappeared.
Logically speaking, such trains generally do not have advertisements. Since they appear, it means that this may be a hint.
So, Zhang Yangqing asked the little follower She Tong next to him: "Where is that place?"
The little follower with snake pupil looked in the direction of Zhang Yangqing's finger.
He saw something he had only heard of in legends before.
After sorting out his thoughts, the little follower Shetong said: "Boss, that tree is called the Tree of Origin, which is said to be the source of all power."
The little follower Shetong began to talk about the information contained in the poster.
According to him, this Tree of Origin stands at the end of the primeval forest and is thousands of meters high.
There was still such a thing as the sun in the world at that time.
But the little follower Shetong has never seen such a thing as the sun.
It is said that a group of human adventurers discovered the Tree of Origin, and they were shocked by the size of the tree.
Then, under the Tree of Origin, it became a gathering place for humans.
People began to build villages here, and then slowly developed into towns.
In the beginning, the humans living here would worship the Tree of Origin and pray for its blessing.
Perhaps they were too pious, or perhaps due to gravity, fruits fell one after another from the tree of origin, which are the so-called fruits of color.
After the humans living here picked up the fruits and ate them, special changes occurred in their bodies.
Some have activated powers, some have gained the power of beasts, and some have even changed their species.
At first, everyone was panicked, thinking that this was a devil's fruit, and those who ate it would become neither human nor ghosts.
However, gradually, these mutated humans discovered that although they lost their normal appearance, they gained superhuman powers.
They even feel that they are above humans.
Once someone realizes this, what follows is endless greed.
Everyone wants to gain power, everyone wants to be superior to everyone else.
After the old rules were broken, order began to break down.
Greed is like a trigger that completely destroys the originally peaceful world.
What followed was bloody war and plunder.
The superpowers under the Tree of Origin also formed their own forces, and the battle for resources began.
This fight is a long time.
Until a sage appeared and he unlocked the secret of the Tree of Origin.
He felt that this was a conspiracy. According to him, this was not the Tree of Origin at all, but a strange carnivorous plant.
It uses color fruits to induce human war, so that it can eat more meat and gain more power.
At this time, people discovered that the tree of origin, which was originally a thousand meters high, could no longer see the end.
No one knows what the purpose of the Tree of Origin is, but the sage feels that if it continues to develop, mankind will perish sooner or later.
So the sage decided to burn it himself to save the future of mankind.
At that time, the leaders of many forces were furious. They had been fighting for who knows how many years. Just burn them down if you say they should.
But in the end, the Tree of Origin was burned down by the Sage. According to the memories of witnesses at that time, the black smoke produced by the fire dyed the entire sky black, as if the end was coming.
The Tree of Origin, which was thousands of meters high, suddenly fell down, creating a crack in the entire earth, and the place where the Tree of Origin hit it turned into a piece of scorched earth.
As for why this sage was able to burn down the Tree of Origin, it was naturally because he was the strongest. As long as he made a decision, no one could stop him!
He doesn't need everyone to think it, he just wants to feel it himself.
Without the root of evil, the war cannot continue.
The sage also became the hero who saved the world.
The world has been stable and stable for decades.
But one day, after the sun set, it never rose again.
Those dark, strange plants began to grow wildly, devouring life everywhere.
There is an aura of endless killing and endless killing.
It's like avenging the tree of origin for being burned by fire.
Finally, naturally, this is the information that the Chosen Ones can know now. Human beings in this world can only survive in paradises and prisons, and other places are occupied by strange plants.
When the other chosen ones heard this, they probably knew what dangers they would encounter after going to the paradise, and then they would think of ways to prevent the dangers, and it would be best to find ways to prevent the strangeness from coming.
Zhang Yangqing nodded when he heard this. Since it was mentioned in the intelligence, it proves that this may be the hidden mission of this ghost story world.
But this is just a guess. Zhang Yangqing can determine whether it is specific as long as he finds something.
Just when the chosen ones were feeling uneasy, the train seemed to have arrived at a station and slowly stopped.
"Are you reaching paradise so soon?"
Greco mingled with the prison guards and carefully observed everything around him.
"It's still early days, this is just a transit point."
As an aborigine here, the science geek still has a certain understanding of this place.
Immediately afterwards, the chosen ones followed the prison guards and walked off the train.
Two roads appeared here, with prisoners and death row prisoners taking different trains to their destinations.
It is the fork between the road of survival and the road of destruction.
But the moment the chosen ones stepped out of the train, they were attracted by the surrounding scenery.
Everything in front of me looked so dilapidated.
It feels like an abandoned city.
There seem to be many tall buildings that are beyond the times here.
He must have suffered a devastating blow during the continental war or the battle with strange plants.
So this large area was left in ruins.
Even so, the Chosen One and the audience felt that the civilization here must have been very powerful in its heyday.
Many of the ultra-era equipment, props, instruments and buildings have become dilapidated, but the exquisiteness of their craftsmanship can also be seen.
According to Shetong's little follower, people used to live here, but a resource war broke out and they obviously lost.
Zhang Yangqing nodded. Human beings are like this. Even in this doomsday environment, they will still fight for survival resources.
Survival of the fittest is what it is.
On the changing train, everyone finally saw the scenery outside the window.
This is a transparent tunnel, and it is pitch black outside.
But through the faint light around the train, we can see that there are many strange trees outside the tunnel.
It was exactly the same scenery as the last time El Greco went out.
These trees are tall and dark, and there is a corpse or bones hanging on each tree.
The black trees fluttered in the wind, and the bones and corpses on the trees also began to sway, like marionettes, and began to creak.
Seeing this, many of the Chosen Ones felt their scalps tingle. Is this the danger they will encounter?
You know, in the botanical garden, any ordinary weird plant can kill them. There are so many here now, wouldn't it be a dead end if they were attacked?
The chosen one of the football country was a little worried, but his boss, the prison bully Crocodile Man, seemed to notice it and comforted: "Brother, don't worry, these things look very bluffing, but in fact they are just like that. Wait for my bracelet." Being untied, none of this is a problem.”
Although the weird plants are scary, the aborigines of this world are not vegetarians.
If the indigenous people were weak, it would be impossible for them to survive such a horrific attack.
Hearing the consolation from his elder brother, the chosen one of the football country also breathed a sigh of relief.
After calming down, he, like the other chosen ones, began to figure out what these plants were afraid of, so that they could prepare corresponding survival tools and locations.
The most miserable one is Goncharov, the Chosen One of the Bear Country. He is alone and cooperates with other ordinary prisoners?
He felt that other ordinary prisoners might not be as good as him, and it would not be good for him to be a drag at that time, so he planned to go to the paradise and start looking for a safe place, or to find refuge with other aborigines.
After hearing the explanations from the aborigines, Abdul, the Chosen One of the Turban Kingdom, and Zhang Yangqing, the Chosen One of the Dragon Kingdom, probably already knew what to do.
As long as these plants invade the so-called [Paradise] and wipe out 70% of the population, you can settle out.
How to do it specifically, according to the experience of Kaitan World, you must just follow the process.
By using the strength you have evolved during this process, you can complete the task without making mistakes.
Otherwise, if the Chosen One were to directly destroy the paradise, Zhang Yangqing would have no problem, but Abdul would basically not be able to complete it.
After all, Abdul only has a six-star level of strength and has a certain ability to protect himself in this strange world. If he is asked to destroy this place, let alone seven days, he may not be able to do it even if he is given seven years.
Abdul didn't panic. He just followed the team anyway. He could guess based on the intelligence that these death row prisoners came to destroy the paradise.
I should just need to destroy a certain point and echo it with other points to collapse the entire paradise's defense system.
Simply put, Abdul had to go through the process, he had no choice.
But Zhang Yangqing can play by himself. After all, if you ask Zhang Yangqing to directly destroy this place, he really has this ability.
After passing through dark forests, we came to a desert.
This desert is full of sand, which seems to be unable to allow weird plants to grow. It has become a natural protective belt, blocking these weird plants from attacking the paradise.
After crossing the desert, everyone came to the edge of a huge city.
Many prisoners began to get excited because they were finally back in paradise.
The Chosen Ones were already prepared, but they were still shocked by the scene in front of them.
In their eyes, this is simply another civilization, a civilization that transcends low technology.
The buildings of [Paradise] are very majestic. Even though they are still some distance away, the chosen ones feel an unparalleled sense of technology.
Because there is no sunlight, the sky here is gray and dark, but the city is brightly colored.
Full of colorful purples, fluorescent blues, dim yellows, etc., these are the basic colors of the park.
As the train enters the city, the layers of darkness fade away, and towering high-rise buildings emerge one after another.
In the majestic city, you can see many strange and abstract buildings.
There is an oval tower, like a huge eyeball, shining brightly.
Not only is it an eyeball, it can also attract the attention of others.
In addition, there are many buildings that the Chosen Ones don't know about, such as bridge-shaped tracks, pendulum-shaped buildings, and hedgehog-shaped castles.
Tall skyscrapers and neon lights illuminate the city.
Advertising screens and holographic projections were dotted around the building, dazzling the chosen ones.
Under the lights, you can see rows of high-density shop buildings.
It gives people a feeling of being in the future technological world.
There are many strange aircraft hovering in the sky. There are many of these aircraft and they look very messy, but their trajectory is very smooth and they don't look like they are going to collide with each other.
They seem to be monitoring humans, and they seem to be waiting for humans to be in trouble and help humans.
On the roadside, you can see many mechanical upright creatures earnestly completing tasks such as transportation and cleaning. Even simple tasks such as handing out leaflets and selling goods are all these mechanical creatures are busy with.
They said nothing and just kept working.
And the humans here don't need to do these things at all.
Mechanical creatures have liberated the people here to the greatest extent.
People have plenty of time to do what they want to do.
In this place, celebrations are held anytime and anywhere.
Human beings seem to be immersed in this peaceful and peaceful world.
This is the so-called [Paradise] world, a paradise for humans.
Compared to the huge and lifeless steel fortress of the prison, this place is full of joy and mystery.
You can also see people of various races walking on the street. They have different skins and their clothes are mainly made of metal and leather jackets.
The audience has a certain degree of yearning for this world.
Many people want to come into this weird world with relatively high mechanical civilization to check in and feel the charm of another world.
But the price was too high. Of the two hundred chosen ones who could come here, only about thirty could make it to Paradise alive.
These thirty-odd people are all at the elite level of human beings, and have also experienced the test of life and death.
I'm afraid many viewers have already died in prison before they even get to this place.
But that's just what the audience thinks. The Chosen Ones don't want to stay in this place.
As soon as they got off the train, the Chosen Ones felt a little uncomfortable.
This city is actually similar to a prison, both are steel buildings made of special materials.
Compared to an orderly prison, the people here are more casual.
The breath that hit their faces made the chosen ones couldn't help but cover their noses.
It is indeed prosperous here, but behind the prosperity, there is also a dirty side.
All kinds of industrial waste are discarded randomly in the streets and alleys, and the stench is overwhelming.
Not even mechanical creatures can clean it up.
While walking on the road, the Chosen Ones can see some vomit and even excrement.
There are also some human beings lying on the ground on the roadside, whose life and death are unknown.
They smelled of alcohol and perfume, and their skin was so ulcerated that everyone who passed by them shrank away.
This is the price that comes with extreme enjoyment.
For some reason, the chosen ones have begun to miss their days in prison.
Because in that place, there are prison guards who maintain order and they know the rules.
Here, let alone rules, they don’t even know what order is.
You know, killing someone is not a serious crime in this world.
Most of the chosen ones and ordinary prisoners watched a long 'cut scene' when they came here.
It was nothing more than the precautions the prison officer told them to be more honest when they returned to the paradise, which served as a deterrent to the prisoners.
But it's basically all nonsense. If there is an option to skip it, the chosen ones will click it without hesitation.
However, their strength is still very low at this level, so they must listen to it with a very serious look.
After the cutscene ended, the prison officer here took out a special controller and pressed a button on the controller, which unlocked the bracelet for them, but the bracelet would remain on their hand.
After all, they are prisoners, and it is impossible to remove their bracelets right after they are released.
This time the lifting is a range-wide lifting of restrictions, and there is no need to align them one by one.
El Greco, who was wearing a prison uniform next to him, finally felt the holy energy in his body and was very excited.
It's like having life in your own hands again.
No longer a prisoner at the mercy of others.
But this time he learned the lesson. Instead of bursting out directly, he decided to go through the process.
After all, something strange is about to break out in this world. Although he doesn’t know how it will break out, he has to survive for three days. No matter how strong he is, his holy power cannot last that long, so there is nothing wrong with cooperating with a scientific madman and following the process. .
He is no different from an ordinary chosen one now. In this unknown world, it is right to have a steady hand.
On the prisoners' side, after the disbandment was announced, they dispersed like elementary school students on holiday.
The other side is the death row prisoner's side.
When the train arrived at the terminal, a wave of air made the clothes of the staff at the terminal sway constantly.
Many staff members swallowed their saliva.
They knew that the people coming off this train were not simple characters.
With the sound of the door opening, the condemned prisoners on the train got off one after another.
Each and every one of them was as powerful as a tiger, as if they were trying to release a beast from a cage.
A chilling air spread, making the atmosphere at the scene extremely solemn.
Among the prisoners on death row, the first one to come out was naturally Zhang Yangqing.
If he doesn't come out, who of the other death row inmates would dare to come out?
Zhang Yangqing still looked calm and composed, with the calmness that belongs only to the strong.
Following Zhang Yangqing was the little follower Shetong.
After he walked out, the other death row inmates walked out of the train car in an orderly manner.
Moreover, without saying a word, these people all stood behind Zhang Yangqing and lined up neatly.
This left the prison guards and prison officers in the park confused.
Logically speaking, shouldn't these death row prisoners be similar to those who were released several other times?
They still remembered that the other times when they greeted the condemned prisoners, all of them had fierce faces and fierce eyes.
Not to mention being arranged neatly, the standing posture is also swaying, and they are talking impatiently when they get down.
Now, it is as orderly as an army, and no death row prisoner dares to make any noise.
People can't help but become curious about Zhang Yangqing's identity.
"Who is that guy? Why do I feel like other death row inmates are afraid of him."
A prison guard from the paradise asked in a low voice.
"Hush, it is said that he is a seven-star level expert. Be careful with what you say and don't offend others."
Hearing this, the prison guard who just spoke felt nervous.
Knowing that the man in front of him was a seven-star strong man, there was fear in his eyes.
After all, this world respects the strong, and killing someone is not a serious crime.
There is no actual difference between offending the seven-star powerhouse and seeking death.
"Then should I kneel down? I think I'm disrespecting him by standing here."
"As long as you are happy."
Hearing the appearance of the Seven-Star Powerful One, the expressions of the staff here began to change.
He couldn't help standing up straight, his serious face had faded, and now he was wearing a professional smile.
If other chosen ones get out of the car, they will be verbally intimidated by the prison officers and wardens here. The purpose is to make them be more honest after they come out. They are originally here to intimidate the prisoners.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yangqing got out of the car and shocked everyone here. The prison guards and prison officers here all stood up straight, and they changed from prison guards to welcoming waiters.
