Chapter 979 Secret Master
The crazy attack of the redundant army turned everything in the game space into a chaotic battlefield.
Players, system guards, and redundant soldiers, the three parties fought in various planes.
The killed NPCs and redundant soldiers turned into data fragments, while the dead players turned into white light.
However, those people who turned into white light did not return to the landing space, nor did they go offline...
No one knows where they went...
Many players who fled back to the login space after the invasion tried to contact their friends who died not long ago through social functions, but the relevant menus of the system were no longer enabled.
Of course, trying to communicate with the outside world through the touch screen's networking function... is also impossible.
And an even weirder thing is that all the timing devices in the game have stopped working at this moment...
Time seems to have stayed at zero o'clock forever.
…………
Mall, Area 1.
"How's it going? What's going on inside?"
As soon as [Speech Controller] walked out of the elevator door, [Qiu Fengse] turned around and asked.
At this time, two generals from the two major studios, "Tiandi" and "Shanhe", have led people from their respective societies to form a temporary alliance. They created a defensive position in Area 1 with the largest number of players and very high overall quality. With the power of NPC guards, the players seemed to have taken control of the situation and suppressed the redundant army outside the defensive circle.
"The warehouse can still be used..." Controller Yuzhong replied solemnly, "But most of the functions on the touch screen are out of order, and it is naturally impossible to go offline."
"Then...is it still safe in the landing space?" Qiu Fengse asked again.
"It's not safe." Controller Yu Zhong shook his head helplessly and gave a depressing reply, "When I checked the storage room, there were already several monsters (they didn't know the name "redundant soldiers") The outer wall of the storage room was torn apart and rushed in. I thought... Whether it is the landing space, the conference room, the storage room, or the scare box, it is all the same as here - it can be 'invaded' than hiding alone. In a narrow space, it is safer to be in this wide environment.”
"Tch..." Qiu Fengse spat after hearing this. "This is really bad." He looked up at the battle line at the edge of the defensive circle. "Although the enemy's troop dispatch speed has begun to slow down, there is no sign of stopping yet, and the 'humanoid powerful monster' The proportion is increasing...God knows how long we can last." He paused, "In addition, the ten people I sent to check other mall planes...only three came back; according to them, other areas... ...Basically, no large-scale resistance has been established. Most players just move in small groups and scramble to escape to the landing space..." At this point, he lowered his voice and said. "What I'm worried about now is... whether the monsters in other areas, after cleaning up the players on their side... will transfer planes and continue to attack."
"In that case..." Commander Yu Zhong broke into a cold sweat after hearing this, "Even if we withstand the group of monsters in front of us, the enemy will still have massive backup coming from other phase spaces... …”
…………
At the same time, the mall, area 13.
I don't know if it was because the number of this place was unlucky, but twenty minutes after the invasion started. All the players here...are wiped out.
This "total annihilation" naturally does not mean that all players in this area have been killed.
In fact, less than half of the people "died" here, and the other half fled back to the landing space after the conflict broke out.
but. Whether it's escaping or dying, at this point in time, there isn't even a single player left in this area.
According to the principle of the system retaining phase space, a mall plane where no players exist. will be closed directly.
So, at that moment, all the system guards who had not yet died, as well as the space itself, began to automatically disintegrate... All concrete objects were reversely transformed into data forms.
at this time. If a player attempts to enter area 13 in the login space, the operation will not be possible...the door to this space can no longer be opened.
And those redundant soldiers and scavengers existing in this area have all turned into data like other surrounding materials, re-entering the data layer... and moving towards the next destination...
…………
On the other hand, in addition to those shopping malls, countless personal landing spaces... have also been invaded by redundant soldiers.
After all, not everyone was reminded by Feng Bujue like Shiva. After most players in the mall saw the terrifying scene of the dome tearing apart and monsters invading...the first reaction was to run back to the landing space.
But soon after they returned to the elevator, they discovered that... the landing space was equally unsafe.
Just as Chief Yu Zong said to Qiu Fengse, whether it is an elevator, a storage room, a conference room, or a scare box... redundant soldiers can invade.
Whenever they catch signs of "data activity," they rush in.
As a result, a large number of players encountered surprise attacks in the elevator rooms they used most. Fighting against redundant soldiers as strong as giant beasts in such a narrow space... is obviously disadvantageous, and many players with low levels or poor combat expertise are stuck in it.
Even if some players can survive in this environment, as the six walls of the elevator collapse, they will gradually lose their foothold and fall into the data layer outside the wall...
Then the question is, where will they go after falling into the data layer?
There are roughly three results: First, they are directly annihilated in the data flow; second, after a short period of drifting, they "fall out" from a relatively large data interface. To be more specific... they are likely to suddenly appear in the dome gap of a certain mall plane, and then fall freely from a high altitude; third... although the probability is very small, after falling into the data layer... players have a certain chance of entering the other world.
…………
Also in the 20th minute of the invasion, in the storage room of [Waste Uncle].
Bang-bang-click-
After a series of collisions and tearing sounds, two redundant soldiers crawled into this white room from the crack in the wall.
At this time, Waste Uncle is undoubtedly not here, he is still playing the game...
Then why did the redundant soldiers come to a space where no one is? The reason is simple... there is "active data" here.
Audiences with good memories should still remember... It was mentioned in the previous article that in the early stage of the game, Waste Uncle once captured a boss-level creature by chance.
Although this creature cannot be summoned by him in the script, it can survive in his storage room and provide him with a lot of help.
It can be said that the unfathomable strength of Waste Uncle is inseparable from the support of this mysterious creature.
And today, several uninvited guests disturbed this quiet... (To be continued...)
