Chapter 87 The Gap Space
Since leaving the group and going on his own, Cheng Xu's direction has never changed.
He kept walking straight ahead, a fact confirmed by the instruments inside his protective suit.
But he eventually returned to the position where he had separated from the main group, which was eight or nine parts similar to the ghost wall he had heard about in his previous life.
Everything seemed so normal, yet it led to a completely abnormal result.
Even if he goes through it one more time, five more times, or even ten or a hundred more times, the result will not be any different.
The Gobi Desert is like a Möbius strip completely isolated from the outside world, folding this route into a shape that connects end to end.
"Brother Cheng!"
Fields went to meet him and saw Cheng Xu deep in thought.
The moment Fields saw Cheng Xu, he realized the seriousness of the situation—they seemed to be truly trapped in this Gobi Desert, and even Cheng Xu hadn't been able to get out; instead, he had returned to the starting point without realizing anything was wrong.
"Now, can we work together to think of a solution?"
Omar stepped forward.
Cheng Xu gestured for him to wait a moment, and continued to recall the journey he had taken.
The strange phenomena in the Gobi Desert are likely related to changes in spatial dimensions. If the root cause of the "ghost wall" phenomenon cannot be found, then even joining forces will be of no use.
Congrett carried his sister on his back and waited quietly for Cheng Xu to give instructions.
Emily, perched on her brother's back, was the most relaxed among them all, because she was still young and had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation.
Have you tried using weapons?
Cheng Xu suddenly looked up at Omar.
"Of course I've tried it, but there hasn't been any progress," the burly man shook his head.
After panicking, the Sibone Tribe fired bullets in all directions, but the bullets disappeared into the distance without causing a ripple.
"The weapons aren't working either—"
Cheng Xu wasn't particularly surprised. Given the unique nature of spatial phenomena, it was quite normal for the Sigu tribe's rudimentary weapons to be useless.
As he pondered, an idea popped into his mind.
"Could it be that an anomaly has appeared here that has not yet been contained?"
Such a distortion of space, making it impossible to find a solution, is actually quite consistent with the precursor to an anomaly.
The wilderness is vast, and this Gobi Desert is only a small part of it. Very few people will accidentally enter this place.
Perhaps others had entered this place before, but like everyone present, they were trapped and eventually disappeared into the Gobi Desert.
In this situation, even if the entrants are members of the two major tribes, they would only assume that the missing person was lost in the wilderness or perished in the jaws of wild beasts.
If Cheng Xu hadn't entered the Gobi Desert by chance, the unusual situation there might not have been noticed even after decades or centuries.
Cheng Xu was also somewhat at a loss about the current situation.
The recurring roads and suspicious traces left him with some clues, but he was at a loss as to pinpoint the crux of the problem and its root cause.
He certainly possesses extraordinary power, but he lacks a means to utilize it.
"A spatial exception, if it's a spatial exception—I've got it!"
While pondering, Cheng Xu had a flash of inspiration and realized a possible direction for a breakthrough.
He gave Fields a few instructions, then quickly walked toward the aircraft.
"Is he planning to try taking off from the air?" Omar couldn't help but ask.
Flying through the air to try and break through the range of the strange forces in the Gobi Desert seems like a feasible method.
Omar was pessimistic about this approach. He didn't believe that aircraft alone could get them away from here.
But soon, the facts revealed an even more astonished expression on his face.
The young "tourist" who was clearly in the lead did not start the aircraft, but hurriedly ran back to the group.
As Cheng Xu approached, everyone saw that a large, fluffy, short-tailed cat appeared in his hand.
cat? ?
Omar's eyes widened. If he weren't worried about offending the other person, he would have rubbed his eyes hard to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
Why did he take a cat off the plane?
What are the uses of a cat?
The lynx in Cheng Xu's arms looked sleepy, as if it had just woken up. It pawed at Cheng Xu's protective suit with its two front paws and yawned widely.
It had just finished eating the crystal it had taken out of the amethyst scorpion as a snack and was dozing off in the sunlight when Cheng Xu suddenly pulled it off the spaceship.
"Sir, what is this—"
Omar finally couldn't help but ask a question.
Behind him, the members of the Bone-Slaying Tribe also looked puzzled. Even Fields and Congret felt a sense of absurdity and bewilderment.
"Don't worry. It should come in handy."
Cheng Xu smiled.
As a critical anomaly, the [Cracks] possesses spatially related characteristics within its capabilities.
Cheng Xu remembered that when he reviewed the report of Chengming Star's attack and the previous records of anomalous containment, he clearly saw that the [Crack] could tear through space when it was fully activated.
Bai Ji, who was unlucky enough to encounter Cheng Xu, was brought out from the battlefield of Chengming Star by the [Crack] that broke through space.
In terms of space-related capabilities, its sensitivity might even surpass that of Cheng Xu at present.
At least under the current circumstances, the giant cat transformed from the [Cracks] might actually be able to create a breakthrough.
Although Cheng Xu said this with a confident tone, the others present still looked at him with strange distrust.
"Then I'll do as you say and give it a try."
Omar sighed.
It's okay to give it a try, since things certainly won't get any worse than they are now.
"It's up to you now."
Cheng Xu put his arm around the lynx's ribs and held it so that it faced him.
"If we can solve the current problem, I'll consider giving you a nice name as soon as possible."
The big cat, who had been feeling lazy and sleepy, suddenly snapped awake, its eyes flashing with sharp excitement.
It struggled a few times, and Cheng Xu then put it on the ground and let it do as it pleased.
The big cat brought its nose close to the ground, and its four short legs began to crawl forward.
"Follow them."
Following behind the big cat, everyone except Cheng Xu felt an increasing sense of absurdity.
You're not really planning to let a cat take us out, are you?
Thinking this, they had followed the lynx for about a kilometer when they saw the big cat leading the way stop, straighten its body, and turn to look at Cheng Xu.
Before anyone could speak, the lynx stretched out a paw and scratched at the sky in front of it.
The next moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the air that had been perfectly normal, revealing a completely different scene behind it.
"It actually works?!"
