Player Reload

In order to adapt to the script mission, the expedition boat of the Global Occult Alliance has been modified to be able to sail automatically and avoid obstacles with only one or two crew members or even no crew at the controls.

The water flow was salty, like sea water. The whole city was deathly silent, with not a single security guard in sight.

Zhao Zijin set the coordinates and let the ship sail autonomously. He then took out a tablet and a Dragon Ball capsule, and released hundreds of small drones from the capsule.

All the drones took off and flew in different directions, scanning the entire city with laser rangefinders, building models on tablets, and looking for exits.

GOC has an agreement with major guilds. Every time they leave the back streets to explore the killing fields, they will scan and download the detected terrain and landforms, and upload them to the shared database.

Some dangerous species will also be captured and handed over to scientific research institutions, and species illustrations will be uploaded to the database.

If the drone can spot familiar landmarks on the ground, it can know the relative distance between the players and the mean streets.

Maybe you can also find the signal station of the Whale Song Organization and use wired phones to contact other players.

(During the mission, communication with friends cannot be used, and the satellite phone has no signal because it is too far away from the rock formation. The wired phone is useful instead)

You can even directly discover the outposts and supply points of major guilds and obtain supplies.

Catherine, a London woman, and Miles, a black boy from Detroit, were still in the midst of chaos and seemed particularly nervous.

Mendoza, who came from a powerful Filipino family, seemed to know some news about the supernatural world, and said to Zhao Zijin anxiously: "Miss Zhao, I promise to obey the command and contribute the reward I received after leaving here. ”

"Contribution is not necessary. If you can survive until the end of the mission, the guild you join in the future will naturally take a sum of money and give it to senior members like us as a reward. Usually it is one thousand game coins per person."

Zhao Zijin said casually, looked past the three people, and looked at the last burn patient who was wrapped in bandages.

He was unconscious, and the sterile gauze around him exuded a strong smell of ointment, as if he had just been transported from a hospital bed.

The bumpy ride just now caused his wound to burst, and a lot of smelly blood oozed out.

Zhao Zijin frowned slightly, "There is a medical room on the ship."

"No need to go to such trouble." Midnight Howl shook his head. Seeing the reward of one thousand game coins for each newcomer, he took out a needle from the backpack column, inserted it into the burn patient's arm, and pushed it all the way.

The Monster Alliance guild he belongs to focuses on non-human beings, and most of its members have non-human bloodlines such as vampires, werewolves, mummies, and draconians.

The first aid serum contained inside this needle was provided by the lizard doctor in the guild (drawn from his own blood). It can effectively stimulate cell regeneration and cure burns, frostbite, neurodegeneration and other diseases.

Although it will significantly increase the risk of cancer in the future, as Gen-Sys's advertising slogan says, if you can't survive today, there is no need to think about tomorrow.

With one needle, the ulcerated skin on the bandaged man's body healed slightly. He opened his eyes and slowly woke up, saying hoarsely: "Where is this?"

"Are you awake?" Li Sheng pushed up his glasses and said calmly: "Yes, you are the most qualified among the people who came this time."

Instead of playing Chu Xuan, why not play Zhang Jie? And why is the one who wakes up last the one with the best quality? Is this some kind of sleep contest?

The red rider resisted the desire to complain and walked to the bow deck to look into the distance.

When the bandaged man woke up, Zhao Zijin explained the situation in a few words as usual, and asked for his personal information and the last thing he could remember.

The bandaged man has a memory disorder and cannot tell his name, address or nationality. He only vaguely remembers that he seems to be a firefighter, and the memory in his mind is stuck at four and a half years ago. It was the longest span of time among the four unlucky guys who fell into the crack.

Midnight Howl said: "Just follow us. If you are lucky enough to complete the mission, you can become a player and return to Earth."

The bandaged man held his head with his hands, his eyes were red, and he muttered repeatedly in a daze, "Four and a half years, four and a half years"

From the perspective of the real world, people swept away by the rift are equivalent to disappearing out of thin air. It's okay for a wealthy second generation like Mendoza to still enjoy their blessings after returning home. For ordinary people, four and a half years is too long, enough to change a lot of things.

"Is there really no way to go back to the time when I disappeared?" The bandaged man said sternly: "My family is waiting for me, I have to go back."

"Don't think about it, you can only accept the reality after it has happened." Zhao Zijin said calmly: "Unless you are lucky enough to find an undiscovered and powerful hermitage. It just happens that you can make your wishes come true or travel through time and space. It’s just that the probability is 10,000 times lower than winning hundreds of millions if you just buy a lottery ticket.”

"Everyone!"

The solemn voice of the red rider came from the bow of the ship, "We are in trouble."

Dense rustling sounds could be heard endlessly, and dense insect-like creatures crawled out of the surrounding buildings.

These insects have a slender body of nearly fifty centimeters, with long legs on both sides. They are extremely afraid of sea water. They climb up the outer walls of the building and huddle together on the rooftop.

Looking around, the tops of buildings in the entire city that have not been submerged are all crowded with these strange insects, probably numbering in the hundreds of millions. It makes people's scalp numb.

Li Sheng rubbed his chin and muttered: "It looks a bit like Centipede, an enlarged version of the Pselliodidae family."

Midnight Howl said subconsciously: "Do you know all of this?"

"I just understand a little bit."

Since the multi-line brain method was developed, Li Sheng read a lot of entomological information and said casually: "There are three families in the order Centipede, Pselliodidae, Scutigerinidea, and Scutigeridae, which is the family Centipede.

The Pselliodidae family is the only one with antennae that are similar in length and width. The other two branches are wider than long. "

He paused, then turned to Bibi Bird, who was beside the red driver, and said: "The prerequisite for becoming an excellent Pokémon trainer is to have sufficient natural history knowledge and a good memory. You think so, right Bibi Bird."

"Beep?" Bibi bird tilted his head, looking confused.

"I'm not talking about you."

The red rider touched his Pokémon tightly.

The bird is talking about Pidgeot in the Pokémon cartoon, who appeared in the third episode and left in the 82nd episode on January 28, 1999.

At that time, the protagonist Xiaozhi asked the Bibi Bird, which had evolved into a Pidgeot, to stay in the forest to protect Bobo, and said that he would come back to see it after he finished his work, and then he forgot about it!

More than twenty years have passed in the real world, and countless episodes of the animation have been performed. In the final episode of Pokémon, Xiaozhi returned to Shinshin Town and reunited with Pidgeot. It can be called the earliest workplace PUA.

Zhao Zijin ignored the cross talk between the two, reached out and clicked a few times on the GOC tablet, compared the pictures of the strange insects captured by the drone with the offline database in the computer, and found out the information about the strange insects. .

"Dark Centipede, a unique species that kills field entities. Its jaws and claws are connected to the venom glands in the body. They both contain corrosive toxins that can kill large mammals. They are similar in appearance to centipedes in the family Pselliodidae on the real earth. Group gathering, danger level 1 class."

Zhao Zijin spoke very quickly: "This species danger level is similar to the abnormal fluctuation index of the Special Security Bureau. The higher it is from zero to five, the more dangerous it is. We should withdraw."

She rushed into the cab, pushed the ship's accelerator lever to fourth gear, and moved forward at full speed.

Unfortunately, it's still too late.

The water level continues to rise, more and more high-rise buildings are submerged by the water, and the water is covered with black insect corpses.

The remaining hundreds of millions of centipedes swarmed towards the ship, using the corpses of the same kind as treads, and climbed up along the hull. The toxins on the tips of its feet immediately corroded dense holes on the surface of the hull.
