Abyssal Wanderer.

Chapter 56 NO.0038: Cracks

"Before we got lost, it should have just happened to encounter fluctuations in the dark web."

In the car, idle and bored, 136 and the others talked about the accident they encountered during the dive.

What they said is similar to what Booker said earlier—at depth 2, the scenery should not be much different from the base reality.

Generally speaking, when the depth is below 4, that is, entering the low light zone or the twilight zone, the physical laws simulated by the base construction will gradually fail.

Strictly speaking, the weapons and equipment they brought in can be useful because they first pulled those malicious programs into the "basic construction" operating environment, and then defeated them under their own rules.

But the deeper you dive, the worse the base modeling will be.At that time, the only thing that can be relied on is the amount of data of the deep diver itself—that is, the degree of its digital transformation.

Except for those who, through a deal with the AIs, are able to summon the AIs to fight for themselves at the cost of becoming their "steeds".Most of the abyss roamers who can go to a certain depth to salvage technology are mostly adjusters of that depth.

Because of this, it is said that during the corporate war, the real war that destroyed 70.00% of the earth's land into "bad soil" in the base reality was just the tip of the iceberg of the real cyber domain war.

The battle in the cyber domain is more than ten times grander and more tragic than the battle in reality.

Surrounding a limited port, spanning more than a dozen depths vertically, and spanning countless quadrants, it is like a war like an ancient myth.

The aftermath of its leak was transmitted to the base reality, making the world the way it is today.

"...It's far away. In short, look at the shapes of the surrounding buildings that violate physics. You must know that this is a company-level base construction program, and even this has not been fully generated. Do you know what this means?"

Qian Xiaying pointed to the building outside the window, and then pointed to the scar-like star marks in the sky and asked.

Everyone shook their heads, and Qianxia Ying sighed helplessly when she saw this, and then patiently explained:
"The first deep diver, Jiang Zhou, was a motherless thing. After uploading Janus to the old network, the first thing he perfected was a nearly indestructible base construction program-now programmers just eat some Exhaust gas created today's World Wide Web...and the current companies use the original products in the deep dive salvage, do you understand the gold content of destroying the base construction program?"

Jiang Zhou, who was driving the car, heard his name suddenly, and couldn't help shaking his hands, causing the car to jolt.

Feeling the suspicious eyes behind him, he coughed lightly:
"Cough... Maybe you don't have to scold Mom so meanly."

"Then fuck it, anyway, it's definitely gone now..."

Qian Xiaying replied casually.

OK, you can...

With a wry smile, Jiang Zhou didn't say much, and focused on driving again.

"In other words, there must be something that has risen to this level, and then its data volume directly overflowed the data of the base construction program, so it finally appeared as it is today."

While speaking, the fluorescent butterfly tattoo flew to Qian Xia Ying's cheek again.

Several people in the carriage looked at each other, and after a long time, Black Falcon-136 asked:
"So, what does this have to do with us right now?"

Qian Xiaying had a "defeated" expression on her face, and she couldn't help covering her face with one hand.And the butterfly tattoo was transferred from her face to her hand, waving her dull wings listlessly.

At this time, Jiang Zhou, who was holding the steering wheel tightly, spoke:
"What she means is that there may be more than just the malicious programs in Depth 2 that are wandering around at Depth 2. The thing that destroyed the company's base simulation environment before, that is, knocked a hole in the sky, may still be there. hang around. And if we touch it, we're dead."

Having said that, when he recalled the huge monster with countless tentacles he saw, Jiang Zhou felt that he had no malice towards him.

It's just that the difference in size and level between the two parties is too huge, which leads to the fact that the other party's mere existence will put him in an extremely dangerous situation.

What he said when he pretended to be a master in front of Booker before was actually his true thoughts about that huge existence.

The stronger your own strength, the weaker everything around you becomes.

No one will count how many fragile micro-lives he can inadvertently kill every day.

"Yes, that's what it means! Look at you guys, what's the use of telling you to fight and kill if you don't listen to it? In terms of comprehension, it's not even as good as a caveman."

After listening to Jiang Zhou's speech, Qianxia Ying snapped her fingers and said so.

"Qianxia Sakura."

As for this, 136 blamed him solemnly.

The latter gave a "cut" sound, and then resentfully said:
"That's enough, that's enough, you're the only one who knows how to be polite. Native people, native people, okay."

After finishing speaking, she was still muttering complaints such as "Why didn't I see you join the Low-tech Race Protection Association".

Another member of Icarus next to him couldn't help laughing at this, and then he concluded:
"In other words, we should get out of here as quickly as possible and ascend to the base reality... Well, it always feels like we have to come to this conclusion, and we all do it."

"more than."

Qianxia Sakura said.

"The point is, if on the way back, we see any abnormal phenomenon that does not meet the requirements of depth 2, we must hide as far away as possible. Then there is a high probability that we will not be able to solve it—fuck it ?”

The sudden violent braking interrupted Qian Xiaying's words. Since the adjustment was a specialization of intelligence and electronic warfare, and there was no addition of any physical enhancement, she almost lost her balance and was thrown out.

Fortunately, 136 on the side rushed over in time and grabbed her.

"Do you fucking know how to drive?!"

Under the drastic speed change, Qian Xiaying, whose brains were almost thrown out, angrily threw away the hand held by 136, and walked directly to the cab in three steps at a time.

At this moment, Jiang Zhou looked at the scene in front of him and was so shocked that he didn't say a word for a long time.

"I'm asking you something, if you don't know how to drive, just... damn it!"

Qian Xiaying, who originally planned to continue to get angry, was also shocked by the scene in front of her.

After a long time, Jiang Zhou asked:
"Does this count as what you just said, an abnormal phenomenon that does not meet the depth 2?"

It was a chasm.

A huge chasm stretching beyond an unknown distance lies in front of the destination of their trip.

If you look to the left, you can't see the end, and if you look to the right, you can't see the end.

Looking ahead...is like looking at the distant horizon.

This crack and the star marks in the sky complement each other brilliantly.

It was as if the sky and the earth had been split apart.

At the fracture of the crack, there are countless fine green modeling grids, extending all the way to places that cannot be seen.

And looking down, it is an abyss that seems to be an abyss that if you jump, you will die of old age while falling.

This is probably the path that was opened when the previously unknown existence rose from a lower level?
Jiang Zhou thought to himself.

Immediately, he glanced at the location of the next "breadcrumb" on the on-board computer.

Well, on the other side of this chasm.

"Then here comes the problem..."

After turning off the engine, Jiang Zhou put his hands on the steering wheel and turned his head to ask:

"How should we get there?"
