All Heroes:Guardian Spirit Alliance

Mu Bai took out the heavy hammer from the space package and walked up to the iron door of the warehouse in a few steps.

He picked up the hammer with both hands, looked at the iron chain on the iron door, and smashed it down hard.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

After hitting it several times in succession, the chain broke.

As Mu Bai pushed open the warehouse door, a foul smell suddenly came from the warehouse.

The stench that hit their nostrils, like rotting meat, couldn't help but make Lan Ying and Zeng Yue frown deeply, and they reached out to cover their noses in unison.

Seeing this scene, Xia Chen gave a faint reminder.

"Be mentally prepared, it will be quite disgusting if you go in soon."

After saying that, Xia Chen followed Mu and Bai into the warehouse first.

The heavy stench that permeated the warehouse was not only pungent, it even hurt the eyes.

No ordinary player would have thought that there would be hidden NPCs here.

Looking around, in addition to the cardboard boxes and various mechanical parts scattered on the ground in the medium-sized warehouse, there were many human corpses in a state of severe decomposition, lying on the ground.

Countless flies and earthworms were lying on these corpses, eating the carrion.

The pungent stench was emanating from these corpses.

Mu Bai was a little better, but Lan Ying and Zeng Yue, who followed behind and covered their noses, couldn't help but almost vomited.

Xia Chen didn't feel anything at all. He stepped over the corpse on the ground and walked straight to the depths of the warehouse.

Sure enough, behind a cardboard box, I found a very slovenly-looking middle-aged NPC man!

Wearing a blue factory uniform, the man squatted on the ground with his hands on his knees. His body was shaking constantly and he looked very scared.

Perhaps it was the loud bang that Mu Bai smashed on the door just now, which made the man think that monsters like mutant beetles and man-eating insects had rushed in.

However, when he looked up and saw Xia Chen, a middle-aged man in his thirties with a shaggy beard and dull eyes, he couldn't help but be a little shocked.

"Human...human? Really human!"

As he spoke, Mu Bai and others also followed.

Looking at the middle-aged NPC man with the ID "Kenngrus" on his head, Xia Chen knelt down and said.

"Don't be afraid, we are here to save you."

"It's terrible, it's really terrible, please help me!"

Even though Xia Chen knew the follow-up plot, he still followed the necessary prerequisites to trigger the mission and started a dialogue with NPC Kenngrus.

"Can you tell us first, what exactly happened here?"

Starting the plot is a necessary prerequisite for receiving the mission.

After hearing Xia Chen's question, the NPC man Kenngrus couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

Then he entered the plot mode and spoke.

"I used to work in an electronics factory near here, and I was a monitor."

"More than four months ago, when I came back from delivering goods with my more than 20 employees, I found that all the workers in the factory had been killed by a bunch of weird monsters."

"The end of the world is coming, and there are man-eating bugs, monsters, and zombies everywhere outside, so we people don't dare to go out at all, so we have been hiding in a safe workshop in the factory."

"It was just a warehouse where food was stored. We ate the food in the workshop to satisfy our hunger. We survived like this for more than three months without even daring to step out of the workshop."

"Because we knew that the factory was overrun with monsters, and it would be a dead end if we went out. Until that day, the door of the workshop was knocked open by monsters..."

As he spoke, Kenngrus couldn't help but feel panic and pain on his face.

"Everyone died. I watched them being eaten alive or bitten to death. In the end, I was the only one who managed to escape."

"After escaping from the workshop, I found that there were monsters all around and there was nowhere to escape, so I hid in this warehouse."

Hearing this, Mu Bai, who was always curious about everything, couldn't help but ask.

"Three months. Then you have been staying in this warehouse for one month from today. What did you eat for food?"

Tremblingly, he pointed at the human corpses scattered on the ground. Before Kenngrus could speak, Mubai almost couldn't help but vomit.

Kenngrus then said with a frightened expression.

"I have witnessed too many deaths. I admit that I am scared and I don't want to die yet, so in order to survive, I can only feed on these corpses."

The plot that should be triggered was also triggered, so as to prevent Mu Bai from endlessly talking about off-topic topics, Xia Chen went straight to the topic.

"We can take you to a nearby safe zone. If you need any help before then, we will be happy to help you."

After hearing this, Kenngrus couldn't help but said with joy on his face.

"Really, that's great! You are such good people!"

After a pause, Kenngrus continued.

"I originally thought that as long as I could survive, everything would not matter, but after seeing you, I really have something I want to ask you to help me with... before you send me back to the safe zone."

Xia Chen nodded: "You say."

"Mainly, I can't swallow this breath. Those nasty beetles have killed so many people, and I almost died in their mouths..."

Suddenly showing an angry expression, Kenngrus then turned to look at Xia Chen and the others.

"So before that, can you help me kill those bugs?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an option box popped up in front of Xia Chen who had triggered the task.

[Whether to accept the mission "Hunting Beetles"]

【whether】

[Remarks: The mission difficulty is 15 stars. The risk factor is high based on your current strength. The system reminds you to team up with other players for the mission]

The 15-star difficulty mission just meets the requirements of the side mission "Extreme Challenge".

Therefore, Xia Chen chose to accept the task without hesitation.

The next moment, as Xia Chen, the leader of the team, received the mission, Mu Bai, Zeng Yue and Lan Ying, who were in the same team as Xia Chen, all received a system prompt message.

[Ding! You have received the task "Hunting Beetles", please open the task list to view the task details! ]

After receiving the mission, Xia Chen comforted NPC Kenngrus.

"You stay here and wait for a while, we will be back soon."

"Go young man, those bugs are very powerful, you must be careful!"

After saying goodbye to NPC Ken Engros, Mu Bai and others got up and left the warehouse.

To prevent monsters from sneaking in and attacking Kenngrus, Xia Chen closed the iron door tightly.

And he used half of the iron chain cut off by Mu Bai to circle the iron gate.

After all, if Kenngrus dies, it will directly lead to the failure of the mission.

As they walked towards the electronics factory on the right side of the warehouse, Xia Chen opened the task list and looked at it.

【Hunting beetles】

[Task description: Please go to the Hongda Electronics Factory on the right side of the warehouse and kill the abyss beetles living in the electronics factory. 】

[Remaining mission time: 9 hours and 59 minutes]

[Rewards: Low-level silver crystal core × 50, low-level silver essence × 30, purple gems × 1000, game currency × 10, essence × 40, random silver-gold equipment × 1, random 3-4 star enchanted gems + 1, chance of getting extra

Prop rewards]

[Punishment for failure: Rank level reduced by 1 star, purple gems -1500, and a piece of equipment randomly dropped from your body (failure to kill 150 abyss beetles within the specified time will constitute a mission failure)]

As the difficulty of the task becomes higher and higher, the rewards after completing the task become more and more generous.

Similarly, the penalty for mission failure is getting heavier and heavier, almost the same as the loss of death.

If you die once, your rank will drop by 1 star, and your equipment will be randomly dropped.

And the penalty for failing this mission is to deduct purple gems!

This is still the penalty for ordinary tasks. The only task reward is higher, so the penalty for failing the task is also heavier.

So, with this 15-star difficulty task in mind, a group of four people quickly came to one of several factories, including a mobile phone accessories manufacturing factory called Hongda Electronics Factory.

It was the electronics factory that Xia Chen and the four passed just before they came to the warehouse.

Looking around, the sliding mechanical door of the huge electronics factory was half open, and a few lines of red fonts were scrolling on the screen above.

"Current time: January 16, 2036 in the new era——"

"Hongda Electronics Factory, welcome you!"

At this moment, there were several huge black beetles lingering at the entrance of the factory.

Dragging several semi-dismembered human corpses and vying for food, they let out waves of low roars.

On the foreheads of these bugs, there is a row of crimson IDs - Silver 8-star Abyss Beetle (Physics Department, Ordinary Abyss Monster)!
