Chapter 140: Chapter 126: Vitality of the New World

“After flying into the rainforest, the plane’s instruments started malfunctioning in all sorts of ways; it was completely uncontrollable. I don’t know what the situation is in other parts, I received the order and flew over immediately…”

An Zhijie followed the team with difficulty, occasionally glancing back at Tao Yu and the two others riding on the Alien Queen.

It was too fantastical.

Moreover, as a pilot, he realized that his own physical fitness was at the bottom tier in this group.

He was about on par with a pretty girl next to him, perhaps even less capable.

For An Zhijie, who had always taken pride in being a fighter pilot, this was a bit heartbreaking.

…

“The intricate differences in interworld rules make more sophisticated things more prone to problems; it’s quite normal,”

Huang Jian replied calmly, which is why most of the vehicles in Starshine City chose the rough punk style.

With his innate mechanical talents and enhancements, even though Starshine City had long since abandoned airplanes, making judgments was still straightforward for him.

“You should feel lucky that you’re a pilot and have your own value, so we’re also willing to save you. From your description, it sounds like your world was torn apart by the Abyss with hardly any resistance, and its fragments fell here.”

Huang Jian’s words made An Zhijie fall silent as well.

Even though the ocean was suddenly replaced by a rainforest, even though there were sudden radical changes, hearing Huang Jian’s simple description of the Abyss still filled An Zhijie with a sense of despair.

But fortunately, he was still alive!

As long as one is alive, there’s always a chance!

Hadn’t this group also managed to survive here?

They could even recruit monsters as pets and mounts, and their physical fitness was strong; perhaps they would encounter some extraordinary fortune…

“Have there been any other incidents in your world recently? Apart from this one.”

Tao Yu also asked from behind, though the hottest topic in Nan Bang might be various romance dramas, even horror films would incorporate such elements, but Tao Yu wanted to rule out some possibilities.

“Other incidents… It seems there’s been a contagious disease causing some problems recently,”

An Zhijie said uncertainly.

His words gave Tao Yu a start – had he encountered the Train to Busan?

He had watched it and could even recall the name.

But what followed from An Zhijie still made Tao Yu feel a bit surprised and confused.

“The disease causes people to have nosebleeds, delusions, and even to faint, but the specific details haven’t been disclosed. Just that the military has been notified, so it might not be so simple.”

Did the zombies in Train to Busan have nosebleeds and hallucinations before the infection?

Tao Yu tried to remember; in his memory, those zombies seemed to spread and move quickly, erupting across Nan Bang in a very short time.

“Have there been any occurrences of zombies or such?”

“Zombies? How could that be—uh, I don’t know, probably not…”

At first, An Zhijie instinctively started to speak but then felt a bit anxious considering the Abyss and the other party’s words.

“Bro Tao, the fragments here have just fallen. It’s impossible for zombie contagion to have happened beforehand; there must have been some problem in their own world already.”

Nuosen, covered in full armor, also added cheerfully.

He thought Tao Yu was concerned that the virus from the Zombie World had spread over.

“Hope that’s the case…”

Tao Yu, riding on the Alien, remained noncommittal.

If it were really Train to Busan, there wouldn’t be much substance, if it turned out to be that, he’d treat it as exploration info to sell and then see if he could get something like helicopters to take back for sale.

In the rainforest, transporting goods by truck isn’t very practical.

A helicopter, though, shouldn’t crash outright like that fixed-wing jet, right?

Uh, although helicopters have a higher accident rate than fixed-wing aircraft, after all, they have a different flight mode.

An Zhijie had just entered the Rainforest when his gauges went haywire. He struggled for a moment before he began to plummet, so the distance shouldn’t be far.

However, while the distance the airplane flew out might be ‘not far’, for them to traverse the Rainforest on foot, it took nearly half a day.

When they could finally see the city ahead, the day had almost turned to night, and the setting sun cast its glow onto the streets.

“The color of the sky and the Rainforest are in sync. I wonder if there’s a world barrier. If not, it could be another new nesting spot for Aliens…”

Huang Jian looked at the group of buildings in the distance. The city’s foundation was only less than half a meter higher than the forest side, a small difference, but the border seemed irregular, extending on both sides with visible arcs.

“It might just be embedded right into the Rainforest.”

Nuosen also voiced his guess.

“You guys are lucky, there is a world barrier. I even underestimated your world a bit at first.”

Pushing past Bai Ya and the others, Huang Jian reached the boundary line and touched the air wall with his hand.

This action left An Zhijie a bit baffled.

“How did I fly out then?”

“Most world barriers don’t block non-Yuan Force items and organisms. The barrier in the south, Rainforest 02, should be stronger, even blocking the atmosphere.”

As Huang Jian spoke, he also passed through the barrier with the help of the world’s will, standing on the highway ahead.

Perhaps out of fear caused by the sudden appearance of the Rainforest, the area within sight seemed desolate, devoid of any people, with only a few vehicles left abandoned in panic.

The Alien Queen and Little Black, with the help of Tao Yu, also crossed the barrier and stepped onto the highway.

But just as they crossed the barrier, Tao Yu frowned slightly, sensing a kind of difference between the two worlds.

It’s normal to feel a sense of difference in fragments of worlds; many fragments might even limit one’s strength with the repression of the world’s will.

There might even be different rules.

But so far, from the Rainforest to the grassland, then to Zombie World, Tao Yu felt the differences were quite small, much smaller than a reaction to high altitude—easy to adapt to.

This time, however, the discomfort was somewhat stronger.

“With my current strength, encountering world limitations is still far off, so it shouldn’t be that. Then…”

Tao Yu had just had this thought when Nuosen, who also passed through the barrier, grunted and then said in a deep voice,

“There’s something wrong with this world; the rejection reaction in my body has gotten worse. Damn it.”

While speaking, Nuosen threw the Alien tail he had been carrying onto the ground and lifted his helmet, revealing his face covered in fish scales. He then pulled out a bottle of liquid and poured it haphazardly into his mouth.

After drinking the liquid, he slowly exhaled.

This caused Huang Jian at his side to frown.

“What’s going on? You have to take Anti-Rejection Drugs?”

“It must be the difference in the world’s rules. I feel my body is so active; I’ve gotten stronger in this world…”

Nuosen’s tone was heavy as he clenched his fist, and from his expression and voice, he clearly didn’t consider ‘getting stronger’ to be good news at all!

He was an Alien implant recipient who needed to maintain a balance between the Alien organs and his own body. He normally relied on medicine and Yuan Force for maintenance, until he could adjust and adapt.

Once he could bear it, he would implant new Alien parts.

But now, before he had fully assimilated, those implanted parts had become stronger and more active, which made him feel somewhat uneasy.

Tao Yu, who was nearby and heard Nuosen’s words, understood what that sense of contrast was.

Yes, his heart had become stronger here, which was why he felt a slight discomfort earlier.

The difference was that Wino had Alien implants, whereas Tao Yu’s heart had undergone Heart Strengthening of his own body. The former had to worry about rejection reactions, while Tao Yu just needed to make a minor adjustment, having only felt that sense of disharmony.

“Becoming more active? This world is off…”

Tao Yu had a premonition that this world might be even more troublesome than Train to Busan…
