Chapter 39: The Chicken and Egg Theory
out full-throttle escape.Hua Xiong said, "Being a ghost ship captain certainly isn't ideal, but it's the best we can do for now."Lu Cheng now has very important things to attend to.Taking a deep breat...3:00 PM, the Tourist Station. Writing this, I hope readers remember our domain name
To avoid disrupting the scenery, the tourist station is not located at the scenic spot, so it has not yet been significantly affected by the deterioration.
People from Mermaid Beach and Rainbow Bridge continued to flee here, establishing a makeshift defense line.
But the internal chaos is evident.
Let's get in the car, we need to go home!
Give us your sightseeing bus energy cards, we'll drive ourselves!
"This isn't a 3A-rated scenic spot, is it I'm going to complain!"
"Refund RNM!"
If it weren't for a dozen or so security personnel standing guard, their white flash cards gleaming in the light, the crowd would have almost stormed the control room.
Please remain calm, we are also investigating the situation.......
The atmosphere at the station grew increasingly tense.
Staff and security were frantic, they couldn't get in touch with the outside world, having no clue what was happening. If it dragged on, not to mention the worsening creatures within the secret realm, the travelers right before their eyes could tear them apart.
.......
Lu Cheng and his group also arrived at the station by taking Liu Hongying's car.
"The people ahead said that all the energy cards for the sightseeing car had been snapped up, and now they couldn't go," Fatty said worriedly.
"What are we going to do Shall we walk to the exit" Tang Wuyao pulled her sister and looked at the crowd of people facing each other with drawn swords.
"Let's restore our energy and continue on our way. Try to avoid conflict with anyone along the road." In her human form, Liu Hongying used an energy card on herself.
"Hey roommate, what are you doing"
Tang Wenyao noticed that Lu Chengmo remained silent. She squinted her eyes, using one hand as a reference point, comparing it to the dim sky of the secret realm.
Lu Cheng didn't answer immediately. Instead, he took out a travel map and studied it for a while before saying, "Before it gets completely dark, we should stay here."
"Huh Why"
People were puzzled.
Lu Cheng glanced around and whispered, "The deterioration of the secret realm is the result of energy interweaving. Look at the sky..."
Everyone looked up at the gloomy sky, where a gigantic black sun emitted an unsettling evil glow.
Although dim, one can still see the subtle flow of energy with the naked eye.
"Uh, and then" The fat man narrowed his eyes in imitation.
"The energy within the corrupted realm is abnormally volatile, usually surging towards the exit and infecting the real world. I was just trying to find the direction of the exit by following the flow of energy... but now the energy flow is erratic."
"What does this mean" Fatty hadn't reacted yet, but the expressions of the three women beside him instantly changed to shock.
"This means...there's no way out." Lu Cheng seemed to be describing something insignificant.
Actually, things are not a big deal.
Trapped in a worsening secret realm, outsiders cannot enter, and those inside cannot leave.
This matter, Lu Cheng has experienced it, more than once, proficiently!
He glanced at the crowd, whose faces were ghastly.
"Oh, there's no need to worry. I estimate the severity is about stage 1 at most. We have a full team and two Blue Card experts, we'll definitely be able to hold out until rescue arrives."
"Boss, how do you know so much" Tang Wuyao blinked.
"Because knowledge is the best amplifier assistant!"
"Ah......oh!" Tang Wuyue seemed to understand but not fully.
"But there's no way out, and the soldiers outside can't get in through the media cards either," Tang Wenyao said, still worried.
"That's not necessarily true." Lu Cheng smiled mysteriously. "Everyone knows that a duel between two Douyu cards is called a Collision of Domains, where the two areas tear at each other and collide, with only limited contact. The creatures, mechanisms, even cities within the two domains will begin to slaughter each other."
Lu Cheng simply drew an egg: "And breaking through the deteriorating closed secret realm is based on this principle. The closed deteriorating secret realm is like an egg, and the domain cards in the hands of the military's domain card masters are another egg. Using the domain card to break open the eggshell, two eggs collide, and the egg whites can flow into each other. We can escape to their domain cards and be taken out."
Then, when will the military arrive
Lu Cheng thought for a moment.
"Here we can't connect to the card network. The messages inside can't get out, but I think Andy’s consortium should discover something soon and report it. We conserve energy. I estimate that we can have news by tonight at the latest. When that time comes, we still use this method. We observe the flow of energy to determine where the military's domain card has been hit. Then, we tell everyone around us, and we all work together, breaking out as soon as possible."
“You guys think the Andy Consortium might…underreport things That’s what happens in novels, right…” Tang Wenyao asked softly.
"Aw, come on!" the fat man said. "Novels are works of art, they process things. Look around you, to put it mildly, there are a few hundred people at this station alone. To put it broadly, there are tens of thousands of people in this scenic area, plus their own staff. How could they not report it I bet they're even more anxious than you right now...."
"Um."
.......
"What do you want to do! Are you going to fight!" A 【wind wall】 suddenly rose in front of them.
Then, cards vanished one by one, and summoned creatures appeared, their equipment also floating onto the card masters' bodies. The scene was about to erupt!
Lu Cheng frowned, this internal power struggle was going to be troublesome....... He was just thinking of a way to solve it, when suddenly a roar came from the door.
"All quiet, no rash moves. We are the Armored Division!"
People inside the station looked at the four men and one woman covered in blood who walked in, and the scene fell silent at once.
Although they didn't show any identification, they just saved us back on the beach. They held off the mermaid attack, and if it weren't for them, at least half the people here wouldn't have made it to the parking lot.
"What's going on now Did the military come in"
"Are you a military card division Then where are the other reinforcements from the military Soldier brother, have you contacted them"
.......
"Everyone, be quiet." The middle-aged man at the head looked around nervously, searching for something.
For a moment, his gaze lingered on Lu Cheng and his group, and his expression immediately relaxed.
They hurried over.
"Are you all alright Thank you so much just now....... If it weren't for you, we definitely wouldn't have survived!"
We're fine.....
"Hey, where's your bear"
Tang Wuyao poked at Liu Hongying: "What about this..."
Liu Hongying's face flushed red suddenly.
The middle-aged man suddenly realized.
........
The people behind seemed impatient and hurried forward.
"Ugh, what's going on Give me an explanation!"
"Don't you guys who serve in the military know What is going on here......"
........
A middle-aged man drew a [Cigarette] from the deck of cards.
He lit a deep breath, then turned his head.
I have two pieces of news to share with you.
Everyone present fell silent.
First the bad news, according to our team's comm cards, we have a teammate who reported that the exit was destroyed when they reached it. They are now out of contact and we can’t reach them or get outside.
The actual situation is just as Lu Cheng said!
Upon hearing this explosive news, the crowd erupted in commotion once again, while Lu Cheng and his team remained composed.
A while later.... an old man in the crowd asked:
What's the good news then
The middle-aged man took another drag of his cigarette.
"And... worse news." operated in Winterfell for many years, he should be able to procure some basic card weapons."Your Highness, you mean that the Battle of Echo Bay usually lasts for years As long as we develop Wintermo...
