Chapter 481: Shrugging Planet Alien

Suddenly, a strange glow came from a long way ahead of Feng Bujue. Brother Jue instantly switched off the lighting device that he had on the compound anti gravity gun and focused his eyes to look down the distance... At the end of the dark and winding tunnel, that bit of red glow looked particularly eye catching.

“Is it the exit...” Brother Jue observed. “A red light... that just feels suspicious no matter how you cut it.”

He slowly slowed down his pace as he moved towards the presumable exit. Soon, Brother Jue felt a heat wave rushing at him. As the tunnel had a steady rise of an incline, this meant that the location of the safehouse was placed relatively lower than the surface of the ground, hence it had a lower temperature. Now that he had gotten close the mouth of the hole, the temperature around him suddenly rose to about 35 degree Celsius.

“Hmm... If this is this world’s normal temperature, then it is going to be troublesome for me...” Feng Bujue mumbled at himself. Actually... that was not that big of a problem to say. When he was mumbling that complaint, he already had a solution in his mind... The most simplest method would be to go and buy another set of clothing to spare for this situation. In the future, whenever he wanted to queue up for Free Exploration Mode, he would change into this set of clothing. With Brother Jue’s personality, he would spend very little to grab a good deal. He would probably grab a pair of tank top, a pair of shorts, and slippers. He would look like The Beast from the movie Kung Fu Hustle. In that kind of get up, even if the temperature rose to 40 degree Celsius, it would not have mattered.

Phew—

Once Feng Bujue reached the end of the tunnel, a heat wave rushed at him. He felt like he was standing before a steaming basket that had just been opened. The blast of hot air caused him to stagger back for a few steps.Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

“Aiz... I knew it would be a desert...” Feng Bujue looked down the rolling yellow sand that stretched down the horizon and could not help but sigh. Even though he already had mentally prepared himself for this, when he saw it with his own eyes, he still felt quite disappointed. He would rather draw a world that was the apocalyptic world that was at the end of an intergalactic battle between the human race and Skynet than being assigned a place where nothing interest would appear to happen. But reality had proven once again that... life was more often filled with misfortune than fortune.

“Fine... but I shan’t give up.” Feng Bujue persuaded himself. He used his gloves to cover his nose and mouth and stepped into the endless desert. “Perhaps this is some unknown corner of a DC or a Marvel Universe...” Indeed that was what Brother Jue was hoping. The universe that Feng Bujue hoped to go to was definitely the one filled with superheroes. There were many reasons behind this.

“based on the identification program of our appearance database, there is a 84 percent chance it is an earthling, 10 percent chance it’s an alien race in disguise, 6 percent chance is some creature we have not yet discovered...”

“Hmph... No matter what it is, just capture it first.”

“Understood.”

“Attention, unit number one. An unknown intruder has appeared 50 metres to the west side of the base. Initiate capture immediately.”

...

And back to Feng Bujue’s side. The man had no idea he was already targeted. At that moment, he was currently flying through the desert...

Brother Jue also just realized that Void Steps”ability to run on water’ worked equally well on sand. So for him, running on the desert was much easier than walking on normal road.

“No matter what, as the first safehouse that I have gone through since I entered the new universe, it would not have abandoned me at a location where I would not run into anything for days...” Brother Jue processed as he continued to run, “If that was the case, I might have overclocked my gaming time before I could find my next safehouse.” He licked his dry and chapping lips. “If I continue to run down this straight direction, I will eventually run into something... even if I cannot leave the desert, at least I will be able to find a campsite or an oasis.”

Just 10 minutes later, his clothes were soaked in sweat, the high temperature caused him to lose water from inside his body at a high rate. Even though the players had no physical needs in the game, but feeling like ‘discomfort’ and ‘fatigue’ would equally exhaust one’s Stamina Points. And when Stamina Point dropped to zero, the Life Points would be drained. Therefore, one’s ‘environment’ could be one’s enemy as well.
