Chapter 1055
1055 A parallel world without internet (1)
As the protective light curtain that covered his body disappeared, Tang Zhen’s figure appeared in a desolate desert.
The cornerstone platform’s teleportation point was always in a remote area. It was probably to minimize the chances of being discovered by the natives.
After looking around, Tang Zhen walked out of the portal and stepped on the soft yellow sand.
He found that the environment of this world was very familiar, and it seemed to be very similar to the original world. After analyzing the data, he also got a positive answer.
[ the environment is 70% similar. It is estimated to be a parallel world similar to the original world. No network signal has been found so far. Other information is being collected, ]
The corner of Tang Zhen’s mouth was lifted into a smile as he looked at the words that appeared in front of him. He began to slowly walk into the distance.
He was wearing a black windbreaker made of the hide of a Lord-tier monster. The material of the windbreaker was similar to silk, but it felt as heavy as flannel.
This kind of animal skin was impervious to fire and water, and it was warm in winter and cool in summer. In addition, the texture was good, so it was definitely an excellent clothing material.
Under Xiao die’s skillful hands, the clothes were sewn very well, and it completely highlighted Tang Zhen’s temperament.
It wasn’t convenient to wear armor for this operation, so Tang Zhen only wore a set of soft armor and this windbreaker.
Although this kind of dressing was a little strange, it was at least a lot more low-key than the battle armor. It was also suitable for most worlds and would not appear too out of place.
Tang Zhen pondered about the contents of this special mission as he walked toward the road at the edge of the desert.
In fact, when the cornerstone platform issued the recruitment order, there was not much useful information left. Tang Zhen only knew that the energy core used to maintain the teleportation of the building had been taken away by the enemy. Then, the enemy planned to use the world in front of them as a springboard to send it to the enemy’s headquarters.
Since the enemy had chosen this world, it meant that there must be something unusual here.
There was another point that made Tang Zhen somewhat confused. The cornerstone platform also did not explain the specific information of the enemy.
There was actually no specific information about the enemy for such a large-scale operation. In Tang Zhen’s eyes, it was clearly a child’s play. He wondered what the cornerstone platform was thinking.
However, to be regarded as an enemy by the cornerstone platform, the strength of the other party was estimated to be not too weak. In addition, the special call for a large number of King level cultivators from the entire wilderness Warzone was actually transferred, so the number of enemies must be quite large.
A thread of caution rose in Tang Zhen’s heart. He must be more careful after coming into contact with the enemy!
Tang Zhen involuntarily curled his lips when he thought of this.
This cornerstone platform was indeed quite unreliable. It only sent Tang Zhen to this world but did not give any further information. This made Tang Zhen not know what to do next.
The other cultivators in Lou Cheng probably weren’t that strong either, and they were all confused.
So, should he wait for the other cultivators to find him, or should he take the initiative to collect information about the enemy and the mission?
After all, after the mission ended, the rewards would be calculated according to the contribution points. If he wanted to get through this, he would probably only be able to earn the benefit of a free trip.
Since Tang Zhen had participated in this mission, he naturally wanted to obtain as many rewards as possible. Only then would this trip not be in vain.
Unfortunately, he knew nothing about this kind of mission. Even if he wanted to do something, he could not do anything because of the restrictions.
Tang Zhen took out his Tower City identity card. After seeing that there was still no prompt on it, he sighed.
It was better to take it one step at a time, understand the situation of this world, collect information about the enemy, and then wait for the next order from the cornerstone platform!
Tang Zhen had already arrived at the road at the edge of the desert while he was thinking about the problem. He took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on before quietly standing in the middle of the road and waiting.
As he was new here, he had to keep a low profile to avoid unnecessary trouble.
In the desolate desert, on the lonely road, a strong young man in a black windbreaker stood still. This scene made people feel a little strange.
It didn’t take long for a truck that looked similar to the original world, but with more rigid and monotonous lines, to drive over from the distance.
After seeing Tang Zhen standing in the middle of the road, the driver continuously honked his horn and began to slow down.
However, the driver didn’t have any intention of stopping because this place was deserted. If Tang Zhen was a robber, then they would be in trouble.
However, when the car was less than a hundred meters away from Tang Zhen, the driver saw Tang Zhen raise an item and point it at them from a distance.
When the driver and the young man in the front passenger seat saw the object clearly, they were immediately scared and broke out in a cold sweat.
“Crack!”
The car ran another few dozen meters before finally stopping. It was less than twenty meters away from Tang Zhen.
Tang Zhen raised the rifle in his hand and slowly walked to the front of the truck. He suddenly fired a shot into the sky.
After hearing the gunshot, the two people in the car were so scared that they trembled all over. Their faces were full of fear.
Reaching out to open the car door, Tang Zhen directly jumped in. Under the frightened gazes of the two, he used an ice-cold tone and said,”Don’t be nervous, I’m just taking a ride!”
The two of them almost cried. They had been driving for more than a year or two, but this was the first time they had seen someone hitchhike with a rifle.
Big brother, are you trying to scare me to death?
Although they felt uneasy in their hearts, Tang Zhen did not have any intention of harming them. This made the two of them feel a lot more at ease. Their expressions and movements were no longer as stiff.
“Mr. Wanwan, where are you going?”
The driver gathered his courage and asked Tang Zhen.
“Just drive straight ahead and cut the crap!”
Zhen Tang glanced at the driver and picked up the communicator he had thrown on the dashboard. He turned it on and fiddled with it a few times.
The functions of the communicator were very primitive. It did not even have the function of surfing the internet. It seemed that it could only make phone calls and send text content such as messages.
He didn’t know if it was because the driver wasn’t used to it, or because the technology in this world was too backward.
So far, the [ all-purpose electronic kit ] had been constantly searching, but it had not connected to the internet of this world.
“Do you have a phone that can connect to the internet? a better one?”
Tang Zhen looked at the young man who was caught in the middle. He was drenched in cold sweat as he looked at the rifle and casually asked.
When the young man who was carefully swallowing his saliva heard this, he was stunned for a moment before hesitantly replying, ” “Internet? what internet? my phone is the same as this. There’s nothing better.”
After saying that, he took out his phone. It was similar to the driver’s.
Tang Zhen nodded and asked again,”Then do you guys usually play with the computer or come into contact with things like the internet?”
The two of them were completely confused by the words Tang Zhen said. They both shook their heads to express that they didn’t know.
Tang Zhen asked a few more questions and confirmed that the internet didn’t exist in this world. Or rather, the internet wasn’t open to civilians.
It was just that in this case, Tang Zhen would not be able to collect information about this world in an extremely short period of time and use the network to provide convenient conditions for his actions.
Tang Zhen was also a little speechless in the face of such a situation.
However, as they were chatting, Tang Zhen obtained some unexpected information from the mouths of these two people.
It turned out that the master of this world was a super group made up of half-mechanical humans. They had powerful strength and could easily crush ordinary people. It was said that the strongest among them was almost no different from gods.
Ordinary people lived according to the rules they set, and once they broke the rules, they would be punished by the cyborg!
When Tang Zhen heard this, he seemed to faintly understand why the commoners of this world were unable to come into contact with the internet.
With the power of the cyborg group, there was no need to promote such a thing among the civilians, which would inevitably increase unnecessary trouble.
In comparison, a more primitive world would be easier for them to control!
