Chapter 343: Dilemma and Space

Dong Ting...

Wu Pifu indeed had such a person in his memory. That was a person he encountered when he entered a "weekend," and also the weekend scene where he obtained the coordinates of this Lost Dream World.

So when this sound appeared, Wu Pifu had many thoughts in his heart. However, he was currently in the Super Brain Heaven and Earth, and his attention was fully concentrated. Even if there were many thoughts in his heart, at this moment, his heart was calm, and he just continued to throw a punch toward this surging darkness.

In the Super Brain Heaven and Earth, he could see many things clearly, including the essence of this darkness.

This was not pure darkness. Too many things he could not understand and describe were surging within it. It was as if it were a swarm of insects composed of countless tiny bugs, and as if it were some kind of dark liquid rendered with some terrifying definition. In short, it was by no means pure darkness itself, but a mixture of various terrifying things. When his fist touched this darkness, the premonition of danger he felt before appeared again, and at the same time, the darkness itself was judged as a hostile target.

Within five steps!

Throwing a punch, because of the extremely slow speed in the Super Brain Heaven and Earth, Wu Pifu felt more things.

This punch seemed to have only physical attacks, but the moment the punch was thrown, he felt some kind of annihilation effect. It was clearly darkness, but it annihilated and dissipated in pieces under his fist. And what erupted after the darkness annihilated was light, but this was not pure light. In the Super Brain Heaven and Earth, Wu Pifu clearly saw that when the darkness annihilated, those terrifying things hidden in the darkness began to self-combust. This light was actually the firelight when these terrifying things self-combusted!

And to the bystanders, Wu Pifu just stood in front of the surging darkness and threw a punch, and then brilliant white light immediately flashed in front of him. Everyone immediately closed their eyes, feeling the light piercing even through their eyelids. At the same time, everyone's heart was hanging. When the light dissipated, everyone immediately opened their eyes, looked at the others at the same time, and then they looked at Wu Pifu again.

"No problem, eight people. The light came from the darkness that was beaten out, in front of us and to the left and right. Although the shadows are very weak, they do exist." Wu Pifu said immediately.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then they frowned at the same time.

Because the newly formed gray space in front of them seemed to be two boundaries with the gray space they were currently in, and the light illumination of each was indeed different. The gray space behind them seemed brighter.

"The worst situation has occurred. The brightness of the existing gray space will overlap as the darkness is broken."

Chu Yuyan looked at the brightness of the two with a serious face and said: "If we set the brightness of the newly born gray space to one, the brightness of the overlapped gray space is two. According to our current shadow depth, about three to four brightness levels will form a shadowless range. The light sources we carry are too weak. Unless it is a strong light source, it is not enough to form a shadow in a gray space with three to four brightness levels..."

The man with dual titles said from the side: "But aren't we exploring forward all the time? As long as the brightness of the newly appearing gray space maintains the level of one, won't this have no hindrance to us?"

This was also a question in the hearts of several people. Chu Yuyan shook his head with a bitter smile. Before he could speak, Wang Yihui said from the side: "No, this is not a simple problem of moving forward, but a problem of geometric figure overlapping. Although we are exploring forward all the time, what we are facing is a plane, or even a three-dimensional space, rather than a simple straight forward channel. This means that when we 'open the map' at will, it is very likely that multi-layered overlapping gray spaces will block our way forward or backward, which is equivalent to trapping ourselves in a dead end and a desperate situation."

Seeing that everyone still didn't quite understand, Wang Yihui continued: "Know the game Snake? A very old pixel game, it's a snake that keeps swallowing pixels, and after swallowing a pixel, it becomes a section, and then as long as it hits a wall or its own body, the game fails. It sounds very simple, just swallow the pixels, but the difficulty is very great, because as the snake gets longer and the space gets smaller, it becomes very easy to hit its own body in the end, and then the game ends... The problem we have to face here is the same. As long as we can't accurately know the size, terrain, and the area that needs to be explored here, blindly moving forward, forward, forward, we will become the snake..."

"Accumulating high-brightness gray areas behind us, until we hit our own back, boom, checkmate, desperate situation, nowhere to escape!"

Everyone was dumbfounded. At this time, the green-headed big fly on Wu Pifu's waist said: "Not necessarily. First of all, we don't know what the limit of the darkness swallowing the gray space is. If gray spaces of different brightness are all re-swallowed and covered at the same rate, then the range of the gray space behind us is not enough to make us become the snake, at most it's just circling forward, or hiding in a building waiting for the darkness to swallow and cover it. But if the higher the brightness of the gray space, the slower the speed of being swallowed by the darkness, and even when the light brightness of the gray space reaches a certain limit, the darkness cannot swallow it, only then can the snake dilemma be formed..."

"Actually, it's very simple to verify, just wait for the darkness to swallow it, and even if it's a high-brightness gray space, as long as it's not absolutely impossible to swallow, we can still wait for it to be re-swallowed by the darkness. The problem here is not the snake dilemma itself, but another limitation... time!"

Chu Yuyan and Wang Yihui both had serious expressions. They nodded respectively, and after thinking about it for a while, the others also roughly understood what the green-headed big fly meant.

This Zero-point-three Dream World is full of various rule-based bizarre dangers, shadows, monsters in dual spaces, surging darkness, gray light sources... None of the things encountered so far are normal, not to mention the three giant objects suspected to be fingers outside, and what this space they are deep in is. Buildings without people or objects, dead and silent streets...

"Also... I just heard a sound."

A new weirdness was brought up by Wu Pifu again. He briefly explained the origin of this Zero-point-three Dream World brand, and a person named Dong Ting he encountered during that weekend.

"Just now I used the Super Brain Heaven and Earth, and I heard a voice calling for help. It claimed to be Dong Ting."

The two wise men and Wu Pifu's new external brain, Beelzebub, all fell silent. They had thought about the difficulty and complexity of the Zero-point-three Dream World, but they didn't expect it to be this difficult and complex.

Various plausible rules and bizarre things were as messy as hemp, but there wasn't a single real clue.

Chu Yuyan, Wang Yihui, and Beelzebub were all silent for a long time, each thinking about something. After a while, Beelzebub said the fastest: "My suggestion is not to give any response. Still the same sentence, this is the Zero-point-three Dream World, and it is also a Lost Dream World, so it's not surprising that anything bizarre happens. That might be the Dong Ting you encountered on the weekend, or it might be some kind of bizarre terror, or a new fatal rule. Once you respond, the consequences are unpredictable."

Chu Yuyan said: "That's right, I also agree with this suggestion. At present, we haven't reached a desperate situation and can continue to explore forward. Although the light source of the gray space will overlap, whether it has an overlapping limit and whether it will be re-swallowed by the darkness are unknown. So our current task is to continue to explore forward, find clues, and investigate the truth of this world. If we are lucky, we can completely establish a sanctuary before the crisis breaks out."

Wang Yihui also immediately said: "Our goal is only to establish a Level One Sanctuary, and use this as a springboard to go to the weekend. This world is not an object we must conquer."

Since all three wise men suggested this, Wu Pifu naturally followed their arrangements and continued to walk at the very front, stepping into the newly appeared gray space, and the others followed closely to push forward.

Exploring another 500 meters forward, the buildings began to become sparse, no longer as dense as before. At the same time, the shape and size of the buildings also changed greatly. This change made everyone excited. They began to search this area of buildings and found that these buildings were also mostly in a tightly closed state.

However, this was different from the residential area. The buildings in the residential area were all the same. Even if most of the buildings were tightly closed, everyone tried and couldn't push them open, so they naturally gave up. But here, every building might have a harvest, so it was impossible to give up any building. After Wu Pifu tried to push the door and failed, and tried to attack the wall lightly, finding that the entire building was a whole and breaking one wall meant the entire building would collapse, he could only hand over the task of breaking in to the others.

The first to try was Grandma Emma. Her extraordinary system was Druid. She saw her reaching out and chanting spells at the wall. After the green light sprinkled on the wall, she reached out and pushed the wall, but the wall remained motionless.

"... Turning stone into mud doesn't work."

!

Grandma Emma shook her head and changed to another spell. After casting the spell, she reached out to the wall again, but the wall still had no reaction.

"No, wall-passing technique is also ineffective."

Wang Yihui walked up at this time and said: "Let me try. My extraordinary system is in the category of superpowers, called the Ope Ope no Mi (Surgery Fruit), which can cut and change the space centered on me to a certain extent."

Chu Yuyan was about to speak but stopped. At this time, Beelzebub on Wu Pifu's waist spoke: "What are you stunned for, stand next to him."

"Why?"

Wu Pifu asked with a frown, but still obediently stood next to Wang Yihui.

Wang Yihui looked at Wu Pifu, then reached out toward the wall: "Room!"

A smooth cut appeared on the wall. Immediately after, a circle with a diameter of two meters appeared on the wall, and the internal space of the building immediately appeared in front of everyone. Not only was there furniture and utensils, but everyone even saw things suspected to be paper.

Everyone's eyes lit up, but the next moment Wu Pifu stepped forward and blocked in front of Wang Yihui.

A large number of limbs, arms, and organs protruded from the circle, entangling and embedding each other, turning into indescribable flesh and blood tissue that surged from the hole toward everyone. And at the very front, there was a twisted human head embedded with fingers, internal organs, and several eyeballs, shouting loudly and pouncing out.

"It's me, Dong Ting, it's me, Dong Ting, it's me, Dong Ting..."

"Save me, save me, save me..."

The human head brought endless flesh and blood surging out from behind, and the first to bear the brunt was Wu Pifu and Wang Yihui behind him!
