Abnormal paradise

but……

The guard adjutant's eyes suddenly fell on the corpses of guards scattered everywhere, and a glimmer of hope quietly emerged.

"These are members of the Fifth Guard who are directly under the command of the control center. Most of the abnormal projects within their jurisdiction are of security level. Even if they may encounter the Chaos Apostles, they are definitely much safer than the established route. Moreover, since they can Coming here means that the hidden dangers along the way have actually been greatly reduced. As long as we obtain the access control of the Fifth Guards, we can reach the control center safely!"

Each guard team is responsible for guarding different areas, and access control cannot be shared.

The guard adjutant was sure that his judgment was not wrong, but the problem was that the body of the fifth guard officer was not present. He followed the traces of the fight on the ground and finally looked at the damaged door that housed the abnormality, with a strange luster in his pupils: "It seems that the opponent of the fifth guard officer is particularly powerful, otherwise he would not have chosen to rush into the realm of [Endless Staircase]!"

Endless Stairs——is the name of the abnormality in front of everyone.

"The endless stairs are full of dangers. If I get to the deep level, I may never return. Do I just give up? What if the fifth security officer doesn't go too far!" The adjutant of the security guard was very unwilling. "No, I have to find someone to try." Try, anyway, it will take time and delay the pursuers behind."

After making up his mind, the guard adjutant immediately looked at the five players. With the provisions of the employee manual, he could completely let his men avoid risks. In this situation where death was necessary, he would of course be happy to dispatch players who were only temporary members of the foundation. Show up.

The mission is coming!

Seeing this, Ember and others were shocked. Everyone knew that if they were selected, they would risk their lives. It would be fine if the fifth guard officer lived or died with his opponent, but if he was unfortunately defeated, even if the endless staircase itself was not If there is no return, the selected player may also have to explain where he is.

But having said that, seeing that it is not the master who borrows the talent of the novice to gain experience advantage, it makes other players secretly hope that they can choose themselves as early as possible. After all, risks and benefits coexist. Perhaps the most dangerous place is the safest place!

At this time, Yan Yan couldn't help but look at his novice talent - [Strengthening of Will]. If an expert can't get close to the brocade with the life talent, what can it bring to him? I don't know if it was fate, but after examining it, the adjutant pointed at the embers.

"Seeing that you have a good will, you can have more hope of survival after entering the endless stairs. I order you to enter the endless stairs immediately. If you can find the fifth guard officer, explain the situation to him. If he is already dead, then Bring out the access card!"

The guard adjutant's voice left no room for doubt, and Ember slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that the dust has settled, it’s time to take a break.

…

[Tip: You have accepted the mandatory assessment task—recovering the access permission card. 】

Task name: [Recover access permission cards]

Requirement: Enter the endless staircase of the abnormal object and retrieve the access permission card from the fifth guard officer.

Reward: Contribution Points

Introduction: The fifth guard officer encountered an enemy attack and was forced to move the battlefield to the abnormal project endless stairs. Now you need to follow the guard adjutant's request and enter the endless stairs to retrieve the access permission card on the fifth guard officer.

[Newbie Tips: Although the Endless Staircase is not proactively aggressive, its deepest secret is still unknown. The will talent you possess can allow you to avoid some dangers, but remember, while acting with "intention" , we must also measure "strength". 】

…

"Because the Chaos Apostle is probably chasing behind me, I decided to set up a trap nearby, and you will have up to five minutes to act." The guard adjutant handed his lighting device to Ember, "There is a message on the display of the strong light flashlight. Time shows, if you can’t return after the time limit, then be lucky.”

The temperature of the bright flashlight was very cold, but the tone of the guard adjutant was even colder.

"Sir... I hope to have a protective weapon so that if I encounter danger, I will be more confident in dealing with it."

Ember did not refuse this task, but tried to increase the probability of success. His request also cheered up all the players. Until now, everyone was defenseless and had nothing to worry about. It was really impossible to feel safe.

Unfortunately, the guard adjutant's answer was really disappointing: "All the foundation's weapons not only need to pass identity verification, but also have strict equipment requirements, otherwise they cannot even be touched, and the Chaos Apostles who can break into this place are all elites." , with your current level, those weapons and equipment are also untouchable, if you don’t believe it, you can try it.”

Hearing this, the players all tried it without giving up. Then they saw various prompts indicating that the attribute levels were not up to standard. Looking at the firearms and weapons scattered on the ground and unable to use them, the players felt extremely helpless.

The feeling of being out of reach is very off-putting.

Seeing that his dream came to nothing, Ember had no choice but to put away his fantasies and walk towards the dark and endless stairs. But at this moment, Tomorrow Youyu suddenly took a step forward: "Sir, I hope to act with him, so that I can be taken care of."

Um?

Yi Yan turned around and glanced at Tomorrow Youyu. He didn't know why he wanted to take the risk. Although he might get a lot of contribution points by completing special tasks with him, the risks involved were not small. Look at the two veteran players, Fish Scale Arm and Not a Master. They are both old gods. They stopped at the same place and had no intention of getting together. They thought very clearly that it was the truth to firmly eat the meat in their mouths rather than follow the embers to drink soup.

As for Zouma, who is still recovering from his injury, he has absolutely no ambition to fight. He just wants to follow the senior players for as long as he can.

Tomorrow Youyu held his breath and looked at the adjutant of the guard. The latter narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Although I don't think it will have any effect if two people enter the endless staircase together, I still choose to agree to your request."

The mission prompt appeared immediately, causing Youyu to breathe a sigh of relief. An undetectable light flashed in his eyes, and he secretly clenched his fists and smiled at Yu En: "Do you mind if I go on the road with you?"

Yi Yan didn't speak, just nodded, then turned on the strong flashlight and walked into the dark stairs.

…

Unlike Brocade, the name of Endless Staircase is very straightforward.

The embers shined a bright flashlight downwards, but the light seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness and could only barely illuminate a flight of stairs.

Each staircase has thirteen steps, and the stairs are connected by a semicircular platform. There are neither wall lamps nor windows here. The air is dull and dusty. Graffiti-like writings and pictures can be faintly seen on the walls covered with black stains. Some fragments of clothing and wet blood scattered on the ground prove that something has happened here before. A fierce battle.

[Tip: Your life level is zero, your strength level is zero, you cannot break through the aura barrier of the abnormal item’s endless staircase, and your ultimate speed is greatly reduced. 】

The invisible aura hit their faces, hindering the movement of the two players. Even if they took big steps to run downward, their speed was not as fast as before. On the contrary, walking quickly was more suitable for the current situation, and there was no need to waste time recovering their physical strength.

Walking towards the fifth floor of the stairs in one breath, the dull air suddenly changed.

A ray of cool breeze came from below, as if indicating that the exit was not far away. However, Yi Yan discovered that the lighting effect of the strong flashlight had declined slightly. Although the power supply was still sufficient, the lighting distance had been shortened by half the length of the step for no reason.

This is definitely not a good sign!

Tomorrow You Yu, who was completely unaware of this, was only thinking about chatting with Yu Yan: "Where are you from, brother?"

"Yangzhou, a small place." Yi Yan's answer was brief.

"East of the river, at the beginning of the rising sun, it is quiet and livable, with a good environment. It is a good place to retire. I have many friends from the north who are planning to place their elderly people there."

Tomorrow Youyu first showed that he was well-informed, and then gave Ember a small compliment: "Seeing that my brother has a good demeanor, I wonder what industry he is engaged in?"

"No job."

Ember's answer was still brief. He just wanted to complete the task now and didn't want to be distracted, so his attitude was a little cold.

However, Tomorrow Youyu thought that he was deliberately avoiding the conversation because he was "unemployed". He was overjoyed and said directly: "Brother, do you have any intention of joining our Thunder and working together? You are a test player, and you can easily reach our recruitment." Standard, if you work harder, you can even directly get the treatment of an internal member! We at Thunder want to show off our talents in the Abnormal Paradise. It is the time when we lack talents. If nothing else, as long as the brothers are willing to come, there is absolutely no problem in making some small money. .”

Since Singularity released the test account, the trading market has been getting higher day by day, especially when Duke Thunder invested heavily in more than 30 test accounts. The price the day before the test started was close to six figures, so tomorrow Youyu feels the need to win over Ember.

With one more qualification for closed beta, the Thunder would have more chances to take a step forward, and there was a more important reason he didn't say.

"Forget it, I just want to be alone. I'm used to it."

Due to his personality, Yi Yan didn't like to get involved in these things, but Tomorrow Rain was anxious. He glanced at the dark place on the stairs and repeatedly persuaded: "No, brother, please think about it again. Although our Thunder guild is not a top guild, we are also very good in the industry." A little bit of fame.”

Yi Yan chuckled and shook his head with a firm attitude. Tomorrow Youyu frowned and said to himself that this guy is really incompetent. If I hadn't taken a liking to your qualifications for the closed beta, I wouldn't have bothered to talk to you! After a moment of silence, only footsteps could be heard on the stairs. Tomorrow Youyu looked into the dark space again, as if he had made some determination, and said in a deep voice to Ember: "Brother, to tell you the truth, our Thunderbolts have indeed obtained some internal information. If brother agrees, then we will be our own..."
