On the other side.
Zhang Chen and his companions passed through the portal and entered a pitch-black world.
"Huh? Is it dark so soon?"
Xiaobai asked curiously.
"And the smell here is strange, no sign of plants, and it doesn't smell good!"
Moran also frowned and said.
"True God, where is this? Did we travel so far that we crossed time zones into the night?"
Zhang Wenwen said in surprise.
"Here... is..."
Zhang Chen's vision quickly adapted to the dark world.
The ground was covered with rubble and branches. In the distance, it was pitch black, and he could vaguely see a cave.
But it was too far away, very blurry from here, and the cave was as small as a dot.
The sky was dotted with countless bright spots.
They were bright spots because Zhang Chen was sure they were very close, only a few hundred meters high.
Far from the distant, vast stars in the universe.
Zhang Chen activated Absolute Vision!
In an instant, streaks of blue energy networks appeared before Zhang Chen's eyes.
Beneath his feet, in the distance, all around, and overhead, there were dense energy networks.
"Hiss... it seems like we are inside some giant creature! The bright spots overhead are not stars, but some kind of luminous creature!"
Zhang Chen gasped and said.
"Huh? Inside a monster's belly? Then haven't we already been eaten?"
Xiaobai paused, then exchanged a glance with Moran. The two girls immediately let out excited shouts:
"This is so interesting! I've always wanted to know what it feels like to be swallowed into a monster's belly, and now I know! It's so much fun!"
"I never thought I'd get to enter a monster's belly in my life. I wonder if it can feel us stepping on it?"
As Xiaobai spoke, she punched the ground fiercely.
Boom!
A huge noise echoed from all directions, deafening!
"Don't, don't move around! Bones transmit sound inside the body, and this will deafen us all!"
"And this monster should be sleeping now. If we wake it up and it starts running around crazily, we'll be in trouble!"
"And the portal to the next teleportation node is still here. The calmer it is, the faster we can leave here!"
Tang Xiaoen quickly reached out to stop them.
It seemed that he had long been accustomed to the idea of traveling into a monster's belly.
After all, for giant creatures, swallowing unrelated things in one bite was very normal, especially since their mouths were so large.
"But... if we are inside a monster's belly, why isn't there any digestive fluid?"
"In movies, the digestive fluids inside monsters' bodies can corrode food into liquid!"
Zhang Wenwen asked curiously.
"This location is not a digestive organ, but a place where the monster expels foreign objects."
"After the food is digested, the contents here will be wrapped with feces and excreted..."
Tang Xiaoen said with an ugly expression.
"Wow, are we going to become poop?"
"Although it sounds fun, won't it be too smelly?"
Xiaobai and Moran said carelessly, their faces full of excitement.
"How long will it take to repair the teleportation gate?"
Zhang Chen asked.
"This... it's hard to say... the teleportation gate device is broken, and parts are missing..."
"It's already difficult to piece it together. We might even need to find a new teleportation station!"
The mechanic said, looking at the pile of scrap metal on the ground.
"In that case... then let's leave here first, the smell here is really unbearable!"
Zhang Chen said, waving his right hand lightly!
A huge hole immediately appeared in the body of the giant creature.
Everyone rode Er Pang and Ao Xue through it.
Then, the hole closed up again.
"Roar~! Woo~!~"
A ground-shaking roar sounded.
Zhang Chen had just opened a hole in it, like a normal person being pricked by a needle, and the giant creature roared in pain.
This monster was too large, its size seemed to be much larger than Royd, like a mountain standing before them, its full form completely indiscernible.
The giant monster roared once and then fell back into a deep sleep.
When everyone came outside, they found that the sun was already setting.
As Zhang Wenwen had said, although not much time had actually passed, due to the time zone difference, it was now dusk.
"How far is it to the lighthouse?"
Zhang Chen asked.
"If this teleportation gate worked, after this teleportation, we would be close to the lighthouse."
"But now the teleportation gate is broken, and we still need to travel about... 4500 kilometers..."
Tang Xiaoen said.
"If we travel at the speed of Er Pang and Ao Xue, about 150 kilometers per hour, and run for 6 hours a day, that's 900 kilometers, so it will take another 5 days."
Angelina said from the side.
"5 days... that's too long, the people at the lighthouse can't hold on for that long!"
Tang Xiaoen said anxiously.
"These 5 days are already a relatively optimistic estimate, as there might be battles along the way, as well as canyons, rivers, mountains, and other terrains."
"If we have to detour, it might take ten days to get there."
Zhang Chen pouted.
"Then what should we do?"
Tang Xiaoen asked with a bitter face.
"I suggest we find a survivor camp nearby, spend the night, and see if they have any large flying vehicles, preferably for long-distance travel."
Angelina suggested.
"Yes, yes, that's a good idea! Before we evacuated the lighthouse, we left many progressive technological products in the world!"
"If we can get a flying vehicle, we can ignore the terrain and move. Flying is also faster than running..."
Tang Xiaoen applauded.
"Well, let's do that!"
Zhang Chen nodded.
He had left the manor in the walled city for Katarina and Zhang Mo, and Shirley and Xu Ruina also needed to live there.
After all, Xu Ruina's identity and appearance were quite special, and living in the manor would offer better privacy.
If they had to spend the night, staying in a survivor camp would definitely be more comfortable than pitching tents in the wilderness.
"True God, I know there's a survivor camp about 30 kilometers from here!"
Zhang Wenwen reported proactively.
"Huh? You've been this far?"
Zhang Chen was surprised. Before he had even used Absolute Vision to explore, Zhang Wenwen had already found a camp?!
"No, but our True God Cult's believers are now spread all over the world!"
"Every believer regularly uploads their location and map to the True God Cult's main church. I just checked!"
"That camp has about 700 people, and currently, there is... 1 True God Cult believer!"
Zhang Wenwen said.
