Star Empire

"It should be to deal with possible abnormal situations in the future, right?" Faced with xs4028's question, the three people around him did not pay too much attention. "After all, we have been taught many times that anything can happen in the void. What's more, we have encountered dangerous and mysterious natural phenomena such as earthquakes, so there is no need to get too entangled in this."

"But, these things are-" Kriz was eager to express something. In his perception, some vague idea that all of this seemed to have the shadow of "already arranged" flashed across his mind. passed away, but even as these thoughts came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

After all, he lacked evidence. Of course there are stories created by over-interpretation, and there are already too many of them. In my previous learning experience, many undecided issues seem to have been temporarily supported by diversified factors because of this - what can I do?

There may be many factors that may have contributed to this, but proponents of these factors have been unable to produce conclusive evidence that overwhelms the other factors. And logical arguments without more evidence can easily fall into the trap of over-interpretation. I have indeed caught up with these contents, but these contents are not too heavy. They can naturally leave an impression on me, but they are not enough to leave an unforgettable mark.

In the future, if I repeat the experience of higher education, I will inevitably experience more such things. If next time, the target that I need to target is a powerful physical monster that can reproduce at a high speed, based on my current understanding, will I over-interpret it to mean that the empire is ready to eradicate the existence of the Zerg?

However, even though he comforted himself in this way, some inexplicable sense of disobedience still lingered.

".Maybe I'm worrying too much."

"Let's deal with this training well first. I feel that there may be more dangers in the future. The environment here is very strange. The closer you get to the center, the more problems you may have -"

Zhi-zhi-sssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

Just as the four people in the same dormitory were discussing what to do next, several more rays of light pierced the dark sky. These lights are either golden or purple. More than one team has activated the beacon. What do they need these lights for? Find out the road or drive away enemies? Or maybe it's to stabilize the spirit of the players in your team?

The four people lined up again to form a cross formation, with panoramic helmets expanding their field of vision. While monitoring the surrounding environment in as much detail as possible, they also ensured that they could take care of each other. Scanners of all types, including ground-penetrating radar, were turned on to maximum power, and they were guided by the results of the first scan. The distance between them and their goals is gradually being shortened. No matter what changes occur in the footsteps they leave behind, they will not care or hesitate - because these emotions will be exploited by the environment.

Along the way, monsters occasionally rush out from the "bunkers" built by the twisted "environmental materials" on the roadside. However, through previous battles, the group already had some experience - these monsters have similar weaknesses. Although they are not the same as each other, their weaknesses are often located in the center of their five-spoke symmetry. It feels tough and soft when you feel it, and monsters often have tentacles with strong grabbing capabilities.

"I think we are in trouble." After watching the last monster chasing him disappear in the crystal energy flames, isha354588 glanced at the already insufficient firearm energy pool. The road in front of the four people has been cut off, and a sudden canyon blocks the team in front of them.

"This place looks like it was split open. How are we going to get there?"

"Visually, the width of this canyon is about three hundred meters, which is within our jumping range, but I don't recommend jumping. We can't see the bottom of the canyon clearly, and we can't determine whether there are any traps on the "other side" of the canyon. . The auxiliary sensor cannot accurately measure the distance of the canyon. If you use a short jump, you may fall to the bottom of the canyon or directly hit the cliff on the other side to use the transportation cable."

"Is the zipline going there?"

"Well, then we each fix a safety line on our body. The safety line is controlled by the person who is not flying for the time being. This is the best way I can think of at the moment. Do you have any other suggestions?"

"When crossing the ropeway, adjust the beacon you carry so that it can be lit when you take it out?" Kriz suggested.

".Well, let's do it."

"I'll come over to help as soon as the plan is discussed. In order to be as safe as possible, the fixed end on the other side of the traffic cable needs to be at a position recognized by the four of us." While Kriz and lhjl1864343 were discussing the action plan, isha354588 had already fixed it. The anchorage and launcher of the traffic rope are on this shore.

"Anchor point. Just choose that stone platform. Compared with the surroundings, it is very flat, and the disturbance to the sensor there is relatively weak."

"Agree, let's start coordination and make sure that all data errors are within the limited range. The proofreading has been completed, launch the traffic cable!"

There was a "ding" sound, and the spear tip endowed with extremely high initial velocity was driven deeply into the selected rock wall.

"The tensile and pull-out strength meet the requirements. Then, I will go over first, and then you will pass in the order of qxzp96349, xs4028, and isha354588. Everyone, please pay attention to controlling the safety rope and pay attention to teamwork."

"clear."

As everyone watched nervously, lhjl1864343 began to slide towards the other shore through the ropeway. One of his hands held his weapon tightly, while the other hand was placed on the back of his neck. From this position, no matter whether Cutting off the connection between itself and the traffic cable upwards, or pulling out the beacon downwards can be completed very quickly. During the gradual descent, lhjl1864343 scanned the surrounding rock walls as clearly as possible. Fortunately for now, there don't seem to be any "traps" that have been covered up.

"There seems to be no problem so far. The next one should come over quickly and pay attention to the precautions we mentioned before!"

"Zi——Understand. Hiss"

"This distance is not very far, but even the impact of such interference is already so serious?" lhjl1864343 frowned, looking at the bottomless depths of the canyon, he felt a sense of soreness in his teeth, "This Is it a premonition? You can’t have any luck at all.”

"qxzp96349, get off the ropeway quickly, we need to clear the valley floor with firepower!" Almost at the same time that lhjl1864343 had a premonition that something was wrong, Kriz also issued a corresponding warning, but this warning was not conveyed clearly. To qxzp96349, she only received a unclear noise.

"Leave the ropeway and use firepower?" Although she didn't hear clearly, the meaning contained in these words and the sudden sense of crisis were enough for her to understand what was about to happen. She judged how to leave the ropeway as quickly as possible. Then she released the resistance lock of the pulley and tried to "swing" to the other side as quickly as possible. However, the accident happened faster than expected - several thin lines Terrifyingly long tentacles emerged from the bottomless dark valley. They waved randomly in the air for a short while before locking onto their target.

Several golden jets cut through the dirty space, and they cut off some of the tentacles that attacked qxzp96349. However, this kind of gun with a firing interval obviously could not meet the current needs. Some tentacles broke through the fire gap that could not be blocked and died. It tightly wrapped around qxzp96349's waist and ankles. The huge pulling force caused the previously erected traffic rope to be stretched tightly in an instant. Every slight displacement of the pulley block would be accompanied by a sharp rumbling sound, as if the steel cable was moving. Like being hit hard.

"qxzp96349, report your situation, repeat, report your situation!"

"Zizi - it's okay, but I can't get rid of them. Do I need to release them? Ah!"

The three people who were still working hard to form a firepower network on both sides of the river in an attempt to suppress the tentacle activities suddenly discovered that the weapon in the middle of the canyon had misfired.

"This is. qxzp96349 has lost the ability to move. xs4028, you will release the beacon! Repeat, xs4028, you will release the beacon!"

"Yes!" After receiving the order, Kriz quickly pulled out one of the three cylinders from his backpack - there was no need to make any other settings, the beacon had been set to the mode that was about to be activated, and it would break away. Reducing the scope of influence of the backpack means that the word "soon" will be lifted. You don't need to worry about the rest. The beacon will find a posture that can be called "facing the positive direction". It will carry out a series of activation actions on its own and quickly complete the activation.

For some reason, Kriz felt that when he threw the beacon off the cliff, it seemed that what he threw out was not the beacon, but a sword, a sword that could cut through all the unstable factors here.

Then, he saw that just as he was swinging his arm to throw down the beacon, a ball of white light that he had never seen seemed to appear next to his hand. This ball of white light was driven by his arm and was thrown away along with the beacon. out, and it looks like a knife

"What is that?!" Everyone present noticed the unusual white light, "xs4028, what did you do?"

"I don't know-" Before Kriz could finish his words, the dazzling white light disappeared into the foggy depths of the canyon.

"Ouch——" A miserable cry erupted from the depths of the canyon. The tentacles entangled in qxzp96349's body all collapsed almost in an instant. They staggered into the deep canyon, and the traffic cables lost the influence of external force. It will rebound instantly and vibrate regularly under the action of this force.

"What the hell!" Kriz stepped forward and held the trembling cable tightly. Under the influence of his weird power, the trembling cable quickly returned to stillness in a very strange way.

"xs4028, what did you just do?" lhjl1864343 asked loudly, but the numerous strange phenomena overwhelmed his inquiry. The beacon that had fallen to the bottom of the valley did not shoot out a golden beam that penetrated the sky and the earth like before. The light pillar, it disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea. At the same time, the sky, everything around him, and the strange light sources on the distant mountains began to blur. They were like sand paintings that were about to be shattered, and their authenticity was evaporating from them.

The thick clouds covering the sky faded away, and the lightning that shuttled through them disappeared. The sky cleared, and the familiar stars shed their gentle light from the dark space.

".The venue disappeared?"

Kriz looked around. After losing the structure of the scene, it was just a vast platform. There are many teams scattered on this platform, and they are also currently in a situation where they are at a loss.

"What's going on? The original scene suddenly disappeared... Wait, look over there!!"

"xs4028, is this... the effect of the white light you just threw out?"

"I really don't know anything. That's just a subconscious thought." Faced with the sudden change and another difference between himself and the people around him, Kriz felt panicked and at a loss.

After the "scene" disappeared, the basic ground responsible for carrying the scene appeared in front of them. On the originally smooth metal earth, a sudden and ferocious crack with a depth of perhaps hundreds of meters tore through the thick armor protecting the earth.

"What happened?" Not only Kriz's team, but other teams also quickly sent messages to the four people asking, "The simulated scene suddenly disappeared. We noticed that a huge sign appeared where your team is. Crack, how are you doing?"

"No one was injured, it's just that we don't know what happened. Just now-"

The words stopped abruptly.

It wasn't just the words that stopped abruptly. Just as Kriz began to think about what had happened to him and how he should explain his changes and current situation to the people around him, he suddenly found that everything around him seemed to have stopped.

"qxzp96349, lhjl1864343, what's wrong with you?" Kriz hurriedly retrieved the notes he found from the people around him. He was surprised to find that his friends had been "suspended."

"Some information structures are no longer active, and internal changes have stopped. The remaining active information flows can only ensure that the outside world can still interact with them as a whole. What does this mean?"

One note after another flashed through Kriz's eyes, but even though he could read it, Kriz didn't understand the meaning. Faced with countless complicated formulas and long sentences composed of obscure words, Kriz felt that Powerless - he hopes that there is someone beside him at this moment, whether it is a teacher, a friend or something else, someone who can help him explain these problems.

"Huh?" Sensing another change in his surroundings, Kriz raised his head. He found that there were a few more people around him at some point - people wearing heavy armor with shields flashing around them.

"Unique identification number 16-3-1-xs4028, Davox Kryze."

"It's me." Kriz frowned slightly as he looked at the strange figure that suddenly appeared next to him, "Who are you? What exactly happened here?"

"We will try to tell you all the information you need, but we first need your cooperation with the investigation."
