Garton Galaxy, ninth sector, sea blue star.
In the summer, Nanzhou is experiencing intense heat, the sun is high, and the air is distorted under the high temperature.
At the moment when version 2.0 was opened, inside the third refuge, the originally empty square, players' figures appeared one after another, hundreds, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands...The originally very empty square became crowded in a few seconds.
Before the version update, due to the [Last Position] mission left by Han Xiao and the analysis of the 2.0 mainline by the "Xinghai Times", hundreds of thousands of Seablue Star players gathered in the refuge and chose to offline here. When version 2.0 was opened, the place where these hundreds of thousands of players went online was the third refuge.
Hundreds of thousands of people were moving around, looking around curiously.
"Is it version 2.0 now?"
"It seems that nothing has changed."
"Hey, the upper level limit has been increased, and experience can continue to be used to upgrade. It is indeed the new version."
"There are no other changes, I really just want to try **** in the game."
"Take off the pants, please respect yourself."
Players have a lot of discussions, each opened the panel to check the attributes, except that the top level can be upgraded, there is no other change in personal information.
However, someone soon discovered that the prompt of a task had changed. It was the [Final Position], and the task status had changed from "frozen" to "open".
This is the prize pool mission left by Han Xiao before he left. The mission requirement is to protect the third refuge, which is to warm up for the disaster of alienation and attract players to gather here. As he expected, this mission is suspected by players to be related to the 2.0 plot.
And now, this mission is actually opened!
Doesn't that mean that the "catastrophe" in the task prompt has already begun?
Many players suddenly became excited, thanks to the black ghosts, they hardly participated in the main storyline of the previous version, this time there is finally a serious event!
By the way, the np who released this mission is still Black Ghost... Oh, now it's called Black Star, is he still in the interstellar?
When thinking of Han Xiao, many players can't help but envy the group of professional players who were taken away by him, stepping into the interstellar earlier, and throwing them a few blocks away for food and clothing.
While the player was watching, a broadcast suddenly sounded inside the shelter.
"All foreigners, please stay where they are! Repeat, all foreigners, please stay where they are!"
Soon, a large number of guards surrounded the square, their faces uncertain, staring nervously at the huge crowd of players.
The aliens on the entire planet disappeared for a whole year, but they suddenly appeared today, which really scared the management of the third refuge, and Bennett quickly sent someone to control the scene.
At the same time, the players in the third refuge triggered the same mission.
[【stay on the spot】]
[Mission introduction: During your disappearance, Seablue Star has a lot of things. At this time, it is at the juncture of the survival of civilization. Stay in place and wait patiently for relevant people to explain the situation]
This is a small task. There are not many rewards. It happens that players want to understand the situation. Hundreds of thousands of people stay in the square mainly because there are guards around. God knows if they will be attacked if they leave rashly. No one wants to start the version. When I fell in favor of the shelter.
Not long after, Bennett hurried over and looked at the crowds with joy in his eyes.
He remembered Han Xiao’s previous instructions, saying that the foreigner is the backbone to resist this catastrophe. At this juncture, the foreigner reappeared. He didn’t know the reason. He only knew that the foreigner came very timely, and now it is the time when manpower is urgently needed. .
Bennett took out his horn and said loudly: "Everyone, Seablue Star is suffering from an unprecedented disaster and urgently needs help..."
He quickly explained the situation, and the player knew that it has been more than a year since the last version. Just over a month ago, a strange phenomenon spread rapidly in Seablue Star, and finally turned into a A catastrophe sweeping the world.
Seablue Star calls it the "disaster of alienation".
At this time, it has been a month since the full-scale outbreak of the Disaster of Alienation, and the entire planet's structure was greatly turbulent, and the six-nation regimes collapsed in almost a month.
No one knows the cause of the disaster, only that it is a certain kind of virus, which is called an "alienated virus". Countless creatures, humans, beasts and even plants have been infected, but the appearance of the alienated virus, transmission mechanism, and How it works, no one knows if he has been infected.
When the virus does not break out, every infected person is no different from usual. Once it breaks out, the infected person will suddenly have unusual desires, including but not limited to killing intent, desire for destruction, anger, sadness, madness, lust, Hunger, thirsty and other tendencies, a weak person may become a murderous butcher in the next moment, a normal person may suddenly squat down and swallow the sand until he swells to death, a dignified woman may suddenly become a slut.
The most frightening thing is that at the time of the attack, the ill person remained sane, which meant that it was not out of control or impulse, but that these desires guided their thoughts and made various actions.
According to the memories of the survivors, when they became ill, these desires came from their hearts. They were their real thoughts at the time. It was as if their character was tampered with, and they became another person, but they still couldn't detect it. Sometimes I feel my behavior is normal.
Bennett gave a few examples, and the confused player immediately knew the terrifying aspects of the Alienation Disaster.
Red Maple was the first place where a large-scale outbreak occurred. The infected people in the army picked up guns and shot their comrades wildly. The army fell into chaos instantly. No one knew which soldier who shot was the infected person. Civil war broke out and tanks were used. A large-scale outbreak of weapons such as helicopters, helicopters, rockets, etc. almost disintegrated Red Maple’s military power.
The president even showed serious violent tendencies. He wanted to grow mushrooms around the world. Fortunately, launching nuclear bombs requires a complicated process. If the nuclear bomb launch button is on the president’s desk, I am afraid that the world is now peaceful, and the president was arrested afterwards. .
All kinds of absurdities that can't happen under normal circumstances are just staged without warning. It's not terrible to be crazy alone. What's terrible is that the whole world is crazy, and it's just a dance of demons.
No one knows when the people around him will have an attack, and he can't even guarantee whether he is normal or not. This panic is unparalleled, as if the whole world has become an enemy, no longer dare to believe other people, and panic all day long.
The disaster of alienation broke out for a month, social order collapsed, and many originally prosperous cities became wasteland. The citizens had to move or find places to hide for safety. Pessimism became the mainstream. One view of the disaster of alienation is Globally, it is believed that nuclear radiation is the cause of this virus.
So countless civilians began to scold the budding war that brought peace to them, thinking that this was retribution, this was the end!
After listening to the introduction, many players feel chilly and think about this virus. Originally, players had various speculations about the so-called "disaster" in version 2.0, but they didn't expect it to be such a weird situation.
What is the alienation virus?
For a while, the players were a little confused. The time flow during the update was not synchronized. The update time in the eyes of the players was only a few days, and the familiar world was overturned?
Is it so exciting? !
"Is this virus unsolvable?" a player asked.
Bennett shook his head. "At present, we have found two ways to resist alienating viruses. First, super-powered people are not easily infected. This has been verified. Second, our third refuge has developed an inhibitor. , It can be immune to the virus for a period of time, but the production capacity is limited, and the cultivation of raw materials is being stepped up, but the quantity is far from enough."
When the voice fell, the players' panel moved and the main task was triggered at the same time!
[[Disaster of Alienation]]
[Mission Introduction: Seablue Star is suffering from an unprecedented disaster, and it is the responsibility of all creatures on this planet to resist the disaster of alienation! ]
[Task requirements: Contribute to the fight against alienation]
[Progress: 0/3000w]
[Success condition: Achieve progress before the alienated virus becomes complete]
[Failure condition: The civilization of Seablue Star collapsed and all survivors were forced to evacuate]
[Reward: Depends on individual progress contribution (Note: Even if the total progress is reduced due to virus growth, the individual's accumulated progress will also be included in the reward evaluation)]
The mission requirements for hundreds of thousands of players are similar to Han Xiao, except that the player’s [Alienation Disaster] quest requires only Seablue Star’s 30 million progress, and Han Xiao’s mission requirements include all other planets that have been dropped Alienation Disaster. , Obviously Han Da Technician's mission is more complete.
This is a large-scale main task that all players are doing together. Each player's contribution will be counted into the total progress, and all players need to work together to achieve the task goal.
"Did we trigger the main mission as soon as we went online? This version of the story comes so fast!"
"Without foreplay, just hit Huanglong, I like to be so direct."
"...No, we got the main task directly. It should be because we went online in the third refuge, where we can enter the main line early. The Xinghai Times analysis is correct."
When everyone thought about it, they all came to a sudden.
Sure enough, this is true. If in other places, no one will explain the situation carefully, and Bennett said that the third refuge is the only place with inhibitors, which shows that this is the key scene of the 2.0 main line. It was the mission left by the black ghost that guided them here.
He is our guiding light!
With the main mission, the players were energetic and asked what they could do to help. Hundreds of thousands of people made the scene into chaos. Bennett finally stabilized the order and asked his subordinates to list various tasks. The tasks and content are different, but the rewards are to increase the progress of the main task.
The manpower required for each task is limited, which immediately caused a frenzy.
The Grand Guild grabbed the most quests, and some single players did not grab the official quests of the refuge, and their faces were a little depressed.
A player couldn't help asking: "Can I leave the shelter now? I want to go to other places."
Bennett looked helpless, "You better go up to the city wall and take a look."
The huge steel wall of the refuge completely covered the outside scene. Hearing that, many players became curious. A group of players climbed up the wall and looked out of the refuge.
After just one glance, these players were stunned, and shocked their faces.
I saw countless tents densely connected within dozens of kilometers around the refuge, like gray clouds covering the maroon ground, like a huge open-air refugee camp. I don’t know how many people stayed outside the refuge and refused to accept it. When leaving, there are sounds of anger and fighting from a certain location from time to time, and I don't know if someone is sick or is fighting for scarce water or food.
"The news that we have inhibitors spread, and countless people come here every day, wanting to inject inhibitors and seek our asylum."
Bennett followed and looked at the refugee camp with no end in sight, with a sad tone.
"But our production of inhibitors is limited. We can only inject a certain number of refugees every day. We can only let other people camp outside and wait. The more people there are, the more incidents will be. Many people die outside every day, but I cannot Put everyone in, otherwise there will be riots inside...I can only watch them die."
The whole world is at a loss for the disaster of alienation. There is only the third refuge. The result is obvious. It has become a pure land in the eyes of refugees, carrying the last hope, and countless people have flocked to it.
After the disaster of alienation in the previous life, everyone became headless flies, panicked, without a destination, and the situation was very chaotic. Now, due to Han Xiao’s influence on the plot, the refugees on the entire planet have a target, that is, the black ghost. The third refuge is regarded as the only savior.
However, the inhibitors made by Yiyeqing and Aurora can only take effect for a short time and cannot permanently get rid of the virus. Bennett has no idea how to solve this catastrophe. No one in the entire Seablue Star knows. He couldn't help but think of the reason why Han Xiao went to the interstellar. The black ghost wanted to find a solution to the disaster. Does this mean that staying at Seablue Star cannot solve the disaster of alienation?
Bennett can only pin his hopes on Han Xiao...if he can really come back.
"There are no other refuges..." Bennett said gravely, "Here is the only refuge."
