Gate of Apocalypse

Chapter 289 [This Light]

“The preparation phase is almost over. ”

Phoenix watched the sunset in the distance and looked at the watch on her hand, less than ten minutes away from the system's 24-hour prep time.

Next to a swarm of rocks, a group of people are hiding on the edge of this rocky forest, on the back of a huge rock.

The monster stands on top of the rock and observes the surroundings.

And Phoenix et al. stood down, behind Phoenix, Zebei Guangmen et al. sat together.

The old man still had a cup of tea in his hand, sipping hot tea.

The middle-aged man next to him actually took out a red mud stove and boiled a pot of hot tea.

“In such a cold weather, having a sip of incense tea is a wonderful pleasure.” Zebei Kwangman dropped his teacup and swayed a folding fan: “Captain Phoenix, would you like to join us for a drink? ”

Phoenix looked at the old man and smiled. “You're welcome, Your Excellency. I don't like tea. ”

“Ah, yes. Few of you young people like to drink tea.” The old man sighed with emotion.

The phoenix narrowed her eyes and silently gauged the old man's eyes, getting weirder and stranger in her heart.

Since meeting this old man, although allied, Phoenix has not given up on the covert observation of this Zebei Light Man.

This famous Shogun!

It's kind of emotional, by the way. The man is indeed famous in the circle of awakeners. Speaking of "Shogun” Zebei Kuang Man, in the circle of awakeners, it is also quite well known, not only in Asia, but even in Europe and America.

But what makes people laugh is that this fame is not a reputation.

The old man's strength should not be weak, even in Phoenix's view, it should be quite good.

But his reputation, though, is too bizarre!

This “Shogun" has a great reputation in the circle of the Awakener, not because people have heard how powerful he is, not because he has done some particularly difficult copying assignments, not least because he has defeated some particularly famous masters, and certainly not because he has had some remarkable achievements.

It's because…

Because he lived long!

Live long!!

Even more so, this old man is famous...

Coward, cowardly, mediocre!

Never heard of his enemies in the circle of the Awakener, nor of his particularly good friends.

As if most of the famous masters mentioned the name "Shogun", they would all laugh, at most to say: Oh, that's the old turtle.

Or say, "Oh, that old slipper with a lot of life."

Yes: fear of death, caution, slippage, never adventure, never sinner, and long life.

These are the most iconic features of the Shogun's reputation.

Even the source of his nickname "Shogun” stems from this.

Ancient Japan, Shogun Founder, Tokugawa Jiakang!

This guy, the old turtle of the Japanese warring kingdom, is able to endure, be discreet, take care of his life, and live long!

Hardson survived the age of the Japanese warring nations and his heroes, Nobunaga the Great King, and finally Tokugawa Jiakang gained the world and founded the Shogun. Became a Shogun.

So, the nickname Zebei Kuang Man, that's how it came about.

To say that he is a Shogun is actually to make fun of him, he is an old turtle, besides being careful to spare his life, is to live a long life, other than that, there is nothing special about it.

But that's not what Phoenix thought.

In her view, such an old man has lived all these years... In the circle of the Awakener, he actually mentions his people, although some people, more or less, despise this old man who has not made any remarkable achievements in his life...

But what cautions the Phoenix is that no one is hostile to him!

After all these years, we have no enemies!

With just a little bit, this man is never easy!

Being despised by one person, that's it, being despised by a group of people, seems to be nothing.

But… it was almost unanimous that he was useless and had no special skills.

But in this dangerous game, he lived so long that he didn't die!

This... is a skill in itself!!

The more the phoenix looks, the more it feels like this old man, the more it's not as simple as it looks!

……

Kuang Zebei drank his last cup of tea and touched his stomach comfortably.

The middle-aged man next to him sat on his knees and bowed his head: “Master Norm, let's go..."

“Let everything be arranged by the Phoenix Commander. I'm old, and this kind of thing still bothers young people. Besides, I think Captain Phoenix is a wonderful young man.” Kuang Zebei stretched out a lazy waist: “You can do whatever he tells you, without asking me what I mean. ”

Middle-aged people seemed used to saying the same thing and nodded respectfully.

Nagase, fortunately not sitting beside her, suddenly stood up and looked a little cold. He glanced at Hokkaido and left in arrears.

The bald-headed girl walked to the rock, where Han was bound to lie on the ground with his hands and feet tied.

Nagase fortunately did not come to Han Bi's side, suddenly reaching out, her fingertips, nails turned into sharp blades, then gently cut off the cloth strip on Han Bi's mouth.

Han Biyi stunned and moved his lips and tongue for a moment: “What are you... doing? ”

Luckily Nagase looked at Han Bi with her eyes closed, looking at his pair of brushy brows: “Your name is Han Bi... I've heard of this name. ”

Han must have stunned: “My name?” He shook his head and laughed, "I'm just a nobody. ”

Luckily Nagase was not very serious, but her eyes were clear: “I am not wrong, nor am I wrong. I have heard the name. You are from the Heavenly Dynasty… by chance, the person who mentioned your name is also from the Heavenly Dynasty. ”

“... eh?” Han Bi's face looks a little different.

“Tokyo, Japan.” Nagase fortunately didn't look Han Bi in the eye: “He mentioned you, one named Roddy and one named... Chen Xiaocai. At that time, we all called him Little Face Leader. I think... you know them, don't you? ”

Han Bi: “………"

……

“One minute left. ”

Chen Xiaocai looked at the time and stopped the car.

The car is in the wilderness, far away from the canyon.

In the past time, Chen Xiaocai was not idle, but drove on to the depths of the desert. If there is still time to survey some of the terrain while waiting in situ.

Finally, Chen Xiaoliang stopped the car as the countdown to the preparation phase was coming to an end.

He looked at Dawan: “What's next…? ”

Dhawan's low voice: “Turn the direction, facing the west, facing the direction the sun sets. Um, do you have a device? Take it out and test the angle of sunset. And there's only one chance. ”

Hmm?

Chen Xiaocai thought about it and took out a compass, then turned the direction of the car, facing the direction of the sun slowly falling.

The sun falls, just in front of the light, and it can still be a little dazzling.

At this time, Chen Xiaoliang looked at the dial of the compass and suddenly his eyes lit up!

Generally, the so-called "sunrise east, sunset west”, the location of the sunset, is generally west.

Of course, depending on the season, some seasons may deviate, and the sunset is not straight west. Sometimes the season will be southwest, and sometimes the season will be northwest.

But by and large, it's Western.

At this moment, however, the dial shows where the sun sets, but...

It's just north!!

“Northbound? How does the direction of the sunset appear on the dial just north?” Chen Xiaolian frowned: “Is there any interference nearby? The compass failed? ”

The Phantom of Dawan: “There is no interference, because this copy itself is set to do so. ”

He sighed and flew fast: “Imagine that this dial is a 24-hour dial scale, then just north is...”

“Just north is zero! That is… 24 o'clock!” Chen Xiaocai's eyes shine: “That's what you said, the security zone of this copy was opened 24 hours after the start of the copy? ”

Dawan whispered, “That's good, judging by the direction of the sun. ”

“The direction of sunset? ”

“No, not sunset, but the direction of the sun.” Da Wang grinned: “After all, the time to enter the replica is uncertain. Perhaps the replica will open in the morning? Or at night? So, it's not the direction of the sun, it's the direction of the sun, and when you come in, the sun is in some direction, and you measure it right away. By dividing a 24-hour clock scale on the dial, you can calculate how many hours after the player mode safety zone is turned on. This is a hidden mechanism of the system. ”

“What if it's night when you come in? ”

“Then watch the moon.” Da Wang thought about it: “So far, I've only encountered two copies of punishment open at night. According to the orientation test of the moon, the test method is the same as that of the sun. ”

Chen Xiaolian had some curiosity: “This thing is fresh. ”

Da Wang whispered, “Don't look away! Almost there! When the time comes, it will appear. Our direction must be completely facing the sunset, without deviation! If there is a slight deviation, you will not see the guidance. ”

As soon as Chen Xiaolian was in his heart, he carefully tested the orientation. According to the scale angle of the compass, against the car's head, the head was quickly corrected.

Finally, the countdown is coming to an end.

Three... two... one...

Suddenly, Chen Xiaolian saw the direction of the sun. There was a green light coming to his face!

This green ray of light is like a green screen of light that scans every time you enter a copy!

No, not like, but exactly the same!

This light suddenly came in, because the angle was just right so Chen Xiaocai could see clearly!

Dawan on one side suddenly excited: “This is the light, this is the light! Follow it! ”

Is that the light?

……

[Nima, suddenly remembers a song by Zhou.

This light is this light, I can't bear to sing coarse while writing ~ ~ *]

[Ah, by the way, I almost forgot to mention something, I'm leaving for Beijing today for business, so tomorrow, Saturday, there's no way to update, take a leave of absence with everyone first.

Update resumed on Sunday!
