From doomsday survival to fast-forward daily life

Looking at the tight guards in front of him and the dilapidated palace gate, Tian Yu knew what had happened.

Only players can produce this kind of firepower.

Tian Yu knew the character of the players very well. In order to complete the task, they were sometimes so brave that they could even poke the sky down, but most of the time, they were extremely vigilant.

The Weiguo Palace is not a place that can be easily forced into. What kind of player would be so desperate to go in?

If it wasn't for the mission or his life, Tian Yu felt there was no other possibility.

She looked at the wide-open palace gate that was visible through the gaps between the guards' figures, and had to admit that her heart was moved.

......

At noon the next day, Lao Lu and Lin Li met at the restaurant. They waited for a long time but did not see Tian Yu show up.

"Something happened." Old Lu said firmly.

Lin Li poured tea for Old Lu: "I can't sense her location."

The scope of Wei Dadu is too large. After they separated yesterday, as they explored separately, their mutual perception became weaker and weaker.

"Let's go." Old Lu stood up, his expression revealing nothing.

A restaurant was not a suitable place to talk, so the two of them entered an inn one after the other.

Lin Li checked and confirmed that no one was following him or monitoring him, then sat down opposite Lao Lu.

"She should have gone in." Old Lu said with a serious look.

"Go in?" Lin Li was puzzled.

"The palace city." Lao Lu explained, "I also tried to get close to the palace gate last night, and we sensed each other at the same time."

"The security there is extremely tight, and there are traces of fierce fighting. I didn't hear anyone discussing these yesterday." Old Lu said.

"She must have sensed my presence, and a few minutes later, she somehow entered the palace." With a sigh, Old Lu knew that the palace gates were wide open last night, which was indeed a great opportunity, but it was also too risky.

When he didn't see Tian Yu today, he knew that she probably didn't come out.

"This..." Lin Li was silent.

"The style of the Weiguo palace gate should be no worse than that of the Shaguo palace gate. Logically, such a big commotion would cause some panic among the people, but I didn't hear of such a thing happening yesterday." He began to analyze.

"There are two reasons. First, those who know the truth have been silenced. The Wei country has a strict system and the monarch governs well, so it is not difficult to silence them. Second, it may be related to some mysterious power." Lin Li looked at Lao Lu and said.

"That's why she took the risk to go in. Just imagine the military strength of the Wei country. Except for the players, no one would have the guts to force their way into the palace in such a high-profile manner." Old Lu just felt a headache now.

"Let's wait. There are probably quite a few players in this city." Old Lu was still confused. If he wanted to investigate the immortals, he could only enter the palace, but it might be difficult to wait for the opportunity now.

......

Tian Yu slipped in while the guards were rotating. She sensed Lao Lu's presence and stopped hesitating.

As he stepped into the palace gate, Tian Yu felt for the first time the man-made grandeur of this world.

Behind the palace gate are two extremely spacious avenues, which should be the entrance and exit routes. Each is eight horses wide and about one kilometer long.

After crossing this road, there is a very spacious square, facing a palace built in the style of Wei Dynasty architecture.

As Tian Yu drove forward, she followed the memories recorded by Teacher Lin Li and finally arrived at the main hall square of the Weiguo Palace.

As far as the eye can see, this huge square is about 400 meters long from north to south and about 200 meters wide from east to west.

The area is 80,000 square meters, with guards stationed on all sides and an altar in the middle.

It no longer looked like the stepped style of the Saudi Kingdom, but rather a complete building similar to the Circular Mound.

When it was being built, Professor Lin Li criticized it in his notes as a waste of money and labor. Now it seems that he had no reason to make such a sigh.

The building's exterior is made up of countless smooth white stones, and the overall shape is circular.

At the outermost edge, there is a fence surrounded by twelve stone steps leading directly to the top floor.

There are eight floors, each about two meters high, and the smooth stone walls of each floor are covered with densely packed small characters.

This should be the altar of Weiguo Dadu. It is located in the middle of the square, and to the west is a white hall with a very similar style.

Tian Yu knew where that was. Teacher Lin Li once mentioned that the sacrificial hall was built together with the altar.

She started walking towards the palace gate. It was already late at night, and Tian Yu was waiting for an opportunity.

At daybreak, the door of the hall finally opened. People coming and going were all wearing strange white masks. At first glance, everyone looked like they had no facial features.

Tian Yu chose his target.

Her points were being depleted like crazy, but fortunately the immediate replenishment she received from killing players was enough to withstand her carefully calculated stealth during the day.

For two days, she explored the hall and figured out her target's habits.

At dusk on the third day after sneaking into the palace, Tian Yu took his place in the priest's room and put on the white mask.

There are more than 80 people in the Wei State's sacrificial hall. Their daily routine is to deal with various matters in the palace and gather in the center of the hall to meditate for up to eight hours every day.

They look like a group of people practicing cultivation.

Lin Li once said that the Wei State had a good culture of alchemy, and the same was true in this hall. Above the hall where everyone gathered and sat in silence, there was a huge furnace top, and the flame underneath it was always burning, with people taking turns to watch over it.

The person in charge of this temple should be the high priest. He takes the lead and sits beside the alchemy furnace every day. Apart from this, Tian Yu has never seen him appear.

Looking at the moon in the sky, the full moon of this month should be getting closer and closer.

Outside the palace where Tian Yu couldn't see, Lao Lu and Lin Li were also observing.

This was the eighth day since they arrived in Weiguo Dadu.

A carriage covered with black cloth, escorted by more than thirty well-equipped guards, slowly drove into the palace gate.

"It's the eighteenth one." Lin Li said slowly.

Old Lu stared at the carriage. It seemed like something inside was struggling desperately, but it was unable to break free from the restraints.

Looking up, Lao Lu seemed to sense something: "The world is going to change..."

The day before the full moon.

The masked priests in the hall followed the same daily schedule and did not even have extra communication. At sunset, they slowly gathered deep into the hall, with Tian Yu mixing among them.

They lined up and, led by the high priest, slowly walked into a corridor. Feeling the angle of the inclination, Tian Yu discovered that they were walking underground.

Outside the palace gate.

A loud noise broke the tranquility of the night, and thousands of soldiers poured out from the palace and the avenue and were rapidly gathering somewhere.

Under the reflection of the flames rising into the sky, Lao Lu felt that there was an invisible force blocking the palace from the surrounding buildings.

At the gate of the palace, three players whose figures could not be seen clearly were trying to force their way in.

"What a strange thing..." Old Lu sighed and patted Lin Li's shoulder. "I have to get in. You can do whatever you want."
