The Legendary Mechanic (Transcendental Mechanic)

at the same time.

Juberly Junction, the former temporary stronghold of the Black Star Mercenary Corps.

Dozens of shimmering lights flashed, and professional players following Han Xiao appeared one after another. It was Kuangdao, Haotian, Roubao and others. When the version was updated, they all went offline here.

Gao Wan's habit is to open the panel at the first time to check the changes of the version. As a professional player, he is most concerned about practical factors such as personal attributes and equipment.

After confirming that the upper limit of the level had been raised, everyone glanced at each other, then looked around, and were taken aback for a moment.

I saw that there was no one in the stronghold, only the monotonous lights were shining lonely, and the metal walls and the ground reflected faint white light. Although the whole stronghold was spotless due to the cleaning equipment, the open doors and the quiet atmosphere were enough to make players It turns out that this stronghold has not been inhabited for a long time.

Everything in every room disappeared, including Black Star's private warehouse and mechanical modification room. If not even the furniture was gone, they thought the stronghold had been burglarized.

"Why is there no one, where is my Black Star?" Kuang Dao was puzzled.

"I don't know how long time has passed, it seems that they are no longer here." Haotian said in a deep voice.

"It's also possible that they're all dead." Li Ge pondered, attracting glaring glances from the crowd. He had historical reasons for thinking this way. He still remembered that the guild under their Temple Club encountered a task release during the closed beta. The cup that was leveled.

"It's so stupid, just look at the faction information." Fengyue rolled her eyes at them. As a member of the mercenary group, she could check the basic information of the faction and learn the status of the Black Star mercenary group without guessing.

But the players don’t know that they can see the faction information because Han Xiao deliberately added this information in the faction interface, in order to let the players understand the promotion of the mercenary group at a glance, and to enhance the sense of belonging. , all the convenience given to players is to better grab money.

Opening the mercenary group interface, the information jumped into view, and the high-level players were surprised.

"There are too many people in the camp, there are actually more than 400 people, and more people have been hired... Oh, look at the reviews, it says that the base of the Black Star Mercenary Corps is located in Jinmen Star at this time, so the Mercenary Corps has moved... But where is the Golden Gate Star?" Kuang Dao asked.

"It's not over yet. Looking at this story, Black Star actually killed a natural disaster-level power user in Norios! Damn, it's so terrible..." Roubao was about to marvel, but suddenly felt wrong, "Wait, What is the natural disaster level?"

Players at this time don't know that the alias of A-level is called natural disaster level, and they haven't heard of this term...but it feels so bad.

Anyway, players can only look up to the strength above the C-level rank.

This group of high-ranking players was a little dazed—what did the Black Star Mercenary Group go through when they were not around?

At this moment, the doorbell of the stronghold suddenly rang, and the high-level players were taken aback. Before they could react, Tai Erzi had given up thinking and opened the door directly. There was a three-cornered smuggler standing outside the door.

"Are you members of the Black Star Mercenary Group?" the snake man asked.

All the high players looked at each other, then nodded.

"I am a captain of the Crown Tour Group. Your Excellency Black Star told me to send you to Planet Aquamarine." The snake man spat out a message, "Please follow me."

Hearing this, surprise appeared on everyone's faces. They didn't expect that Black Star would send a special boat to pick them up. Is there such a special arrangement!

...

The disaster of alienation has drastically changed the global structure, the rule of the six countries has almost collapsed, most of the land has fallen into chaos, and the government has lost control.

Because the alienation virus makes everyone have a chance of getting sick, and the same is true for public officials. All levels of institutions are paralyzed. If a regime loses the people who work for it, it means that it has lost all its power and exists in name only. The six countries are sliding towards this abyss.

Every link and class in society is composed of people. The essence of forming order is to make people actively become obedient. There are many factors, such as law enforcement agencies, the military, the economic system, cultural traditions, moral concepts, mainstream values, etc., all in order to make people obey. People understand the fate of violating the rules, so they restrain themselves. But the alienation virus destroys people's normal logic and fear. When they get sick, they don't think about the consequences at all, and these factors lose their effect. The seemingly unbreakable order will disappear overnight. Between them became brittle porcelain.

chaos.

This is the most appropriate definition of today's social structure.

Unable to trust any creature, only the cold machinery is the only reliable thing.

After the catastrophe broke out, the regimes of the six countries abandoned their previous suspicions. In the face of the disaster, their respective interests were no longer important. They had no other choice but to join forces. At this time, the senior leaders of the six countries were conducting a video conference.

"As early as 20 days ago, we jointly applied for assistance from Gedora civilization. Gedora said to come as soon as possible, but it has been so long, and they haven't appeared yet!"

The disaster of alienation is like a fierce woman wearing chastity pants. No matter how provocative they are, they can't pry open the door. The six nations knew that this catastrophe could not be solved with the technological level of Seablue Star, and any means would not be effective. They reported the disaster situation, and the six nations The state has a channel to contact Gedora, looking forward to a higher civilization to save them.

However, no spaceship has arrived until now, which made the high-level officials of the Six Nations very anxious. They kept urging them, but they always got only formulaic answers from artificial intelligence.

In fact, the six countries don't know that the disaster of alienation is not only Aquamarine, the Garton galaxy is blooming everywhere, competing for beauty, and Gedora is also in a hurry, with a confused face. Han Xiao has not revealed that this is Dusky Star's conspiracy, so Gedora is kept in the dark, and the degree of attention has not been raised to a very high level.

"When Gedora will arrive is beyond our control. Now there is a new situation. Not long ago, the alien who disappeared for more than a year reappeared."

"This is too coincidental, maybe they brought the alienation virus!" Someone said angrily.

The Six Nations have always suspected the cause of aliens, not our race, prejudice and discrimination have never disappeared.

"No matter how you say it, most of the aliens are superpowers. They may be able to help. No matter who they are, I just want to wake up from this nightmare. In this situation, I don't even dare to meet my wife. I'm afraid that one day I won't be able to control myself and hurt her." An official said with a worried face.

"Although Bennett announced the formula of the inhibitor to the world, only the Third Refuge can produce it stably. He said that he can't give us any more medicine. I don't believe it. They must have more inhibitors hidden."

As soon as this remark came out, the current leaders of the six countries were silent. They all knew that everyone present was coveting inhibitors.

When a disaster happens, and you have the only thing to resist the disaster, the meaning of this thing exceeds its function. For the sake of the inhibitor, everyone can only obey, even if Bennett has no other thoughts At this time, the third refuge has also become the center of the world, and countless people are rushing there.

The six countries really want to control the inhibitor, so as to unite the people and restore the collapsed regime, but if they snatch it, the situation that the world has finally adapted to will be broken again, which will cause greater risks. One carelessness may cause With irreversible consequences, is regime consolidation more important than the survival of civilization as a whole?

Some people can't convince themselves, and some people can, but no matter which faction they are in, their ideas are not so firm, and they vacillate between the two.

"If you really want to do it, it's best to do it as soon as possible..." Ruilan's leader said in a deep voice, "Time waits for no one."

...

Two days passed in a flash.

Hundreds of thousands of players stayed in the third refuge to adapt to the new version and participate in the main mission.

Although there are many players, there are almost endless missions in the shelter at this time. The most rewarding ones are naturally the official missions released by Bennett. The number of such missions is limited every day, while other missions are triggered by different characters and stay in the Countless refugees outside the shelter have all kinds of requests, and they can't finish it. These tasks are heavy and boring to others, but the players do it with gusto, serious attitude, and enthusiasm for work. All of them are like models of good citizens The pacesetter, on the contrary, puts the guards of the shelter itself to shame.

The reward for most of these tasks is to obtain the progress of [Disaster of Alienation]. After two days of action by all players on Seablue Star, the total progress has reached 73w. Progress, players must always accumulate progress, otherwise they will retreat if they do not advance.

Although I don't know the principle of the alienation virus, the player doesn't care about it, as long as there is a task guide, it's over.

Since version 2.0 will enter the interstellar world, players know that this main line is only the first big plot of the opening of the new version, not all of them. Players on other planets basically have the same experience. Winter Star is the funniest. As a garrison planet of the Extinction Legion, it is actually sent troops to crusade, how annoying.

In contrast, Seablue Star players enter the main line the fastest, but the specific situation is quite different from the previous life.

The level of activity on the forum was the same as before the update, and it was even hotter. With the opening of the new version, many players were sharing information, and the post refresh rate was fast.

Bennett stood on the city wall and looked down at the bustling and noisy refuge. There were hundreds of thousands of strangers everywhere, solving the urgent need for manpower. Seeing this scene, his brows could not help but relax.

"Fortunately, we have this group of strangers to help. I didn't expect that the influence left by the black ghost is still protecting us." Bennett sighed, his tone complicated.

Hila was behind him, leaning against the wall, expressionless, silently looking at the endless refugee camp outside the city.

"Ahhhh—"

Suddenly, the refugee camp suddenly erupted with strange screams one after another, and countless people fell ill at the same time, without warning—this is the scary part of the alienation virus, which may erupt at any time.

The refugee camp, which barely maintained order, instantly became chaotic. Millions of sick people fought and fought with red eyes. The scene was particularly spectacular.

A small number of refugees who did not suffer from the disease looked terrified, sitting on the ground and shivering, and the guards on the walls of the refuge were also stunned.

Bennett's face suddenly changed, and he grabbed the wall with both hands, and the concrete was pinched with fingerprints.

"With so many people gathered here, once the group gets sick, the consequences will be very serious. When the symptoms subside naturally, the death toll may already exceed one million!"

Many players stopped the task at hand. This was the first time they saw a collective attack. They were in a state of surprise, and someone turned on the recording function.

They have seen war scenes before, but this is the first time they have seen the scene of gang fights involving millions of people. Refugees hardly use weapons, they only use their fists and teeth to fight hand-to-hand, like wild animals, extremely brutal and bloody.

"It must be stopped, otherwise many people will die, let our people act and knock out all the sick people!"

Bennett immediately ordered that every infected person has a chance to be saved. With so many people killing each other in front of his eyes, he couldn't sit idly by.

Rumble——

At this moment, there was a vibration sound in the distance, which was getting louder and louder. When I looked over, I saw countless wild beasts galloping forward, mighty and mighty.

The beasts on Planet Aquamarine were also infected by the alienation virus. The wild environment was already very dangerous, but now it has become even more difficult to survive, and it is different from the state of human beings. Although the sick beasts are violent, they will form groups. Acting as a unit, sometimes fighting each other, sometimes attacking the city.

The herd of beasts rushed to the edge of the refugee camp, and the massacre broke out. One by one, the refugees were bitten and trampled by the wild beasts, and their bodies were torn apart. kill the same.

Snapped.

Bennett crushed a piece of the wall, and said angrily: "It's bad, a herd of beasts has come at this time, hurry up and save people, if you leave it alone, all the refugees will die!"

At this time, the player's task list changed, and the overall progress of [Disaster of Alienation] began to plummet. In a blink of an eye, 10,000 points were lost. Everyone triggered an emergency collective task at the same time. The request was to save as many refugees as possible outside the city, and the reward was 50,000~ 200,000 total progress, the fewer people die, the higher the reward.

But the speed of progress loss is extremely fast. If you don't save people quickly, most of the accumulation of these two days will be ruined.

"Hurry up and get out of the city to save people!"

"Please form a team, anyone can do it, as long as there are enough people!"

The hundreds of thousands of players in the refuge suddenly panicked and acted hastily, going out of the city to rescue the refugees who were fighting, knocking out the sick people and sending them into the refuge.

In addition to the rescue team, Bennett asked some players to delay the pace of the herd. The herd is huge, at least 300,000 or more, and it will not be able to kill them in a while, so they can only delay and try to rescue as many refugees as possible.

Hela had already entered the herd of beasts, and the dark red energy was released wantonly. One after another, three or four meters high beasts died in her hands. The surrounding players were also fighting with the herd of beasts. The blood of the beasts splashed all over her, fighting bloody battles.

Killing is what she is best at. Fighting has long been integrated into her bones, and she is as used to it as eating and breathing. However, this battle made her feel very complicated-she used to be an executioner who killed innocent people indiscriminately. Fighting to save unrelated strangers is awkward.

Rumble——

The scene is chaotic, the refugee camp area is caught in the middle, one end is the herd of beasts advancing, causing heavy casualties, and the other end is the player saving people, the two sides march towards the middle of the area at the same time, nibbling away from both ends, and the refugees who are sick do not know how to escape , still killing each other, making a mess!

There was so much chaos that even with Bennett's strength, he felt dazzled. His palms were sweating, and he stared nervously at the situation.

"There are too many beasts, and the attack frequency is at least four times a second. They can't handle the damage at all!"

"Damn, my mentality has collapsed, I was crushed by my ass!"

"There are gaps everywhere, and it can't be stopped at all!"

The players who resisted the herd were unable to do what they wanted, and people kept dying. Although they could be revived, they had to run out of the shelter to delay time, and the most lacking thing was time. Every second, the total progress was slipping rapidly. Very anxious.

call out--

Just when the situation was going downhill, there was a piercing screaming sound from the sky. Even in a chaotic and noisy environment, this sound was still clearly heard by everyone, and countless eyes subconsciously looked up to the sky.

I saw hundreds of egg-shaped metal cabins falling from the sky, shrouded in flames that ignited through the atmosphere, like hundreds of bolides, and the falling place was impressively in front of the gate of the refuge.

bang bang bang! !

The metal cabins fell to the ground one after another, smashing cracks all over the ground, the momentum was eye-catching, the next moment, the cabin door bounced open with a sneer, and people walked out of every metal cabin.

This group of people were all wearing armor, holding weapons, and dressed in a variety of styles. Obviously, they were not aliens from Planet Aquamarine. Everyone came together with curious and surprised eyes, and immediately understood that these metal eggs were airdrop pods.

These uninvited guests are warriors from the stars!

Just when everyone was about to wonder the purpose of this group of interstellar people, one of them, who seemed to be the leader, waved his hand, and hundreds of interstellar warriors moved at the same time, rushing towards the herd.

Boom boom boom——

The space fighters broke out with powerful combat power, and immediately took over the battle, as if the unstoppable herd of beasts had hit an iron wall, and they were all stopped!

With only a few hundred people, the role played far exceeds the tens of thousands of players around!

Horror flashed in Hela's eyes. She was on the battlefield, and she had the deepest experience. Almost all the space fighters put more pressure on her than Bennett, and Bennett was basically the strongest in Planet Aquamarine.

It means that any one of these interstellar warriors is stronger than Bennett!

With the intervention of unknown reinforcements, the crisis was relieved, leaving only the masked man in black at the gate without any action. Bennett jumped off the city wall, came to the masked man, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Where did you come from?" ? Why help us?"

Bennett had seen the captured Gedora investigators before, so seeing aliens at this time, he would not lose his mind.

But in the next second, the calm expression he barely maintained turned into shock in an instant.

"Long time no see, Bennett, why are you so surprised? Why, do you think I won't be back?"

Han Xiao raised his hand, slowly took off the mask, revealing his own face, the corners of his mouth curled into a chuckle, and he felt handsome.

Bennett froze, unable to believe what he saw, his lips trembling, his shocked expression quickly turned into ecstasy.

Hela in the distance suddenly widened her eyes.

The moment Han Xiao took off his mask, almost every player was stunned. Immediately afterwards, a joy of reunion after a long absence arose spontaneously, and morale soared. This familiar figure was like a booster, injecting hot emotions into all the players present The blood is hot, the scalp is starting to tingle with excitement, the root of the tail is tightened, and the heart is surging!

"It's him! Black Star is back!!"

Thanks to the Netherlight Feather for the 100,000 rewards!

Thank you Moon Banri Canmeng for the 100,000 rewards!

Thank you for your reward!
