Chapter 167 Don't ask, if you ask, it's just feeling confident.
Broken Pot City was a large city capable of accommodating tens of millions of people, complete with all the living measures one would expect. With hundreds of bus routes alone, even a world that had transcended remained proactive with its rapid development.
But...
Many people still relied on the bus as their mode of transportation.
The sight of a city capable of housing tens of millions of people now surrounded by millions of zombies was utterly staggering. At this moment, countless individuals were encircling the Sea of Zombies: there were live broadcast teams from various TV stations, rescue forces from different cities, and a large number of onlookers who were there mostly to satisfy their curiosity, forming the largest group.
Most of the onlookers were supernaturals.
What's the biggest change after gaining strength?
Even more arrogant than before?
Or is it a stronger sense of justice?
Actually, the biggest change is that the crowds they previously didn't dare to join are now within reach. And don't ask why; it is because they felt powerful enough.
Chen Miao, making his way to the center of the Sea of Zombies amid a barrage of gunfire that seemed to shake the earth, actually went unnoticed by many. In fact, most people couldn't see anything happening within their field of vision.
Only the mayor of Fengtian City, who had been keeping an eye on Chen Miao from the beginning, saw him disappear into the Sea of Zombies. But after that, he was out of sight, too—there's only so far the human eye can see.
Chen Miao continued to walk deeper into the Sea of Zombies, a sight only the supernatural could witness.
...
At this moment, Chen Miao's brow was slightly furrowed; countless bullets swirled around him, creating a Metal Storm that minced any zombie entering its range.
Against weaker but numerous enemies, his Metal Storm was the ultimate defensive skill.
Once activated.
It was impenetrable.
And there, in front of him, was a Deep Pit—akin to a Zombie Generator—with a constant stream of zombies flying out. At the bottom of the pit, a faintly visible object emitted a rainbow glow.
Chen Miao took a deep look at the '009' number next to the pit.
Without any hesitation, he leaped towards the Deep Pit for life.
With the zombies' strength, no matter the number, none could penetrate his defenses. As long as his Star Coins didn't run out—and he still had tens of thousands—they were sufficient for now, so he wasn't worried about his safety. Enjoy new stories from empire
He was merely curious about what could possibly enable the Deep Pit to continually spawn zombies.
But that leap fundamentally shattered his worldview.
He only saw—
As soon as Chen Miao jumped into the Deep Pit, he felt his body suddenly go out of control. Then, under the force of gravity, he plummeted straight down until he was flung out of the pit, yes... flung out of the Deep Pit.
"..."
He looked incredulously at the Deep Pit before him.
The gravity at the bottom of this pit seemed to be completely opposite to normal gravity.
Normally, one would fall towards the ground.
But the moment he jumped into the Deep Pit, his body uncontrollably "fell" towards the sky until he was a meter away from the pit, where the gravitational pull ceased and he then fell normally to the ground.
He had always thought the zombies were flying out of the pit; it now appeared they had actually been falling out.
"What's going on here?"
After several attempts and confirming that he wasn't mistaken, Chen Miao was momentarily baffled. Gritting his teeth, he bravely approached the edge of the pit, despite the eerie scene before him, which gave him an unsettling feeling.
But he still crawled into the Deep Pit, only this time he didn't jump in.
Instead, he climbed down along the edge.
Sure enough.
As he anticipated, he climbed down the edge of the Deep Pit slowly, but his body did not feel the normal sensation of falling downward; instead, he felt as if he were scaling a cliff on a flat plane.
The gravity inside the Deep Pit was completely different from normal gravity.
Do you know what this means?
He didn't know.
If his hands weren't so full at the moment, he really would have liked to search whether this situation had ever occurred before.
He didn't know how long he had been climbing.
Countless zombies "flew" past him, and he, like a climber indifferent to his own life, continued ascending the cliff face through the storm, glancing back over his shoulder.
"..."
The scene before him slightly muddled his thoughts.
It seemed he was wrong again.
This place was not just a simple reversal of gravity; it was... the world turned upside-down.
Looking at the sky behind him, he saw the clouds that he was used to seeing every day, but now, these things felt like they should be the ground, and his mind seemed to flip accordingly.
Lost in such thoughts, he finally reached the bottom of the Deep Pit.
At the bottom of the Deep Pit,
there was only a portal emitting a rainbow of lights.
「Prop Name」: Zombie Generator.
「Prop Level」: None.
「Prop Effect」: Can generate an unlimited number of zombies for seven days, with an estimate of creating 1 million zombies. If the death rate of the generated zombies is too quick, then the generation speed will increase, up to a maximum of 10 million zombies.
Activating this prop requires 100,000 Star Coins.
「Prop Introduction」: As you can see, this is a doomsday device. The best way to store it is to throw it into the sea.
The portal, about half a meter tall, was slowly rotating while continuously emitting a rainbow of lights, resembling the entrance to a secret realm.
It's just that the portals he entered to secret realms were always white.
At this moment, zombies were rapidly leaping out of this portal.
A strong impulse suddenly surged within him, wanting to stick his head into the portal to see if he could glimpse anything; he was a bit curious about what was on the other side of the portal.
But his rationality restrained him from such an act.
It was almost certainly a death wish.
But fortunately—
he had acquired enough miscellaneous props during the 'Coward's Special Event,' and his Nothingness Space could accommodate plenty of clutter. He pressed his body against the cliff wall at the bottom of the Deep Pit and used tools to anchor himself to the wall so he wouldn't fall.
Only then did he take out a periscope from his bosom and poke the viewing end into the rainbow light of the portal.
The very next second!
Through the periscope, he saw a whole new world. The scenes he witnessed were completely different from the information he usually received. Beyond the portal was a complete world.
But unlike Blue Star,
in that world, the sky was the ground, and the ground was the sky.
People lived on clouds.
He even saw a massive city built on the clouds, which seemed to be solid enough to bear great weight—as if the ground were the sky to the city's inhabitants.
