Act 2: Eyes of Death Chapter 69: Countermeasures against the Dark Tide
Frostfall is another ordinary day. Of course, this is just for ordinary residents. The main theme of every day is basically after working hard for a living, or having a simple dinner with their family, or having a meal together.
Serving a beer and barbecue at a roadside stall, constantly switching between work and rest, this is the life of ordinary people.
But for Mr. Long, he has more things to worry about. First of all, as time goes by, the date of the node competition is getting closer and closer. Even if he doubts the purpose of the controllers of other nodes, but face
It still takes a lot of effort, so during this period, intensive preparations for the Frostfall node have begun.
First of all, Mr. Long divided two areas (based on the node scale, the maximum number of people in one area can reach about one million), one of which serves as a resting place for other node explorers. It is divided into ten areas to correspond to
ten other nodes.
The other area is built as the venue for the node competition, and for the fairness and impartiality of the competition, the battle scenes in the venue are randomly formed like simulated battles. As for why the node competition does not use the form of simulated battles, but other nodes
The result proposed by the controller together.
"I hope nothing unexpected happens!" Mr. Long looked at the busy construction team, and felt a throbbing feeling in his heart for no reason.
……………………
The turmoil in Filhayez gradually subsided, but most of the garrison turrets that originally stood there have disappeared.
No matter how good the material is, it will collapse, twist, and break when the load exceeds its limit.
Due to the turmoil of the sandworms, a large number of turrets tilted, collapsed, and were buried under the sea of sand. However, it is unknown what the situation is under the sea of sand.
Under the silent sea of sand, the passages crawled by sandworms formed a natural maze extending in all directions. A huge columnar building was buried in the sand. At a certain moment, the huge columnar building shook slightly, followed by two looming red lights.
With a slight cutting sound, a hole as thick as two fingers opened on the top of the building.
The place fell into silence again, and the dark hole seemed like a demon devouring everything. After a while, several people
Very small reptiles crawled out of the dark hole and crawled around. If you look carefully, you can see that the carapace of these reptiles is covered with a coating that can absorb light. Even if light appears in the dark, they will not be affected by the carapace.
was discovered by reflection.
"How's it going? What did you find?" a voice asked.
"There is no sand left, which means we are not buried in the sand!"
"Are there any huge bugs out there?" A female voice said with an obvious vibrato.
"This place looks like a cave, and the height is actually very high. It's really incredible." The dim light of the screen illuminated a small area: "As for bugs! I didn't see anything related to bugs.
.Are we going out, captain?" The faint light illuminated Simon's profile.
"We must go out!" Resa looked at the picture displayed on Simon's personal terminal. The picture was relatively clear, but because the surroundings were completely dark, the visibility was really not high: "It's just that we'd better figure out the surroundings first.
The situation is relatively good.”
"Based on the surrounding conditions, it looks like it's underground?" Simon said with some uncertainty.
"Underground? It seems the situation is not optimistic!" Resa said with a wry smile.
"What do you mean?" Icarus looked at Reza. He urgently wanted to go to the center of the royal city to answer the questions in his heart. If he was trapped here, that would definitely not be what he wanted.
"We don't have a landmark building to guide us down there, so it's easy to get lost, even if there are instructions from a personal terminal..." Resa raised his personal terminal to show everyone.
"It is completely impossible to receive positioning signals here. If we go underground, not to mention that we may encounter a large number of sandworms, it is very likely that we will be farther and farther away from the target." Ressa explained.
"Then we just need to get back to the ground, right?"
"Back on the ground, our actions will form extremely weak shock waves. At that time, in this sea of sand, we will be the living targets of the sandworms!" Icarus shook his head. Before they could see the horror of the sandworms,
We have all seen that they are very sensitive to the shock waves on the sand surface, so when they return to the ground, they must be the most
As soon as possible, everyone needs to get back to the top of the tower.
"Can we just wander around here like headless flies?" Simon asked.
"Then we might as well return to the node now." Resa spread his hands.
Everyone fell into silence for a while, and Resa thought for a while: "There is another way, but it will involve taking a lot of risks."
"What can we do?" Everyone heard Resa's words and all their attention was focused on Resa.
"Icarus, only you can implement this method, and it is very dangerous. You have to think carefully about whether to implement it!" Reza said seriously. The reason why it is Icarus is mainly because he can fly, which is necessary to implement the plan.
One of the conditions.
"There's nothing to think about. The worst that can happen is death, right?" Icarus smiled. He understood the meaning of Reza's question. After all, no one had come to their senses yet. They would wait until they figured out what they had gained from this trip.
, I am afraid that a considerable number of team members will agree to return to the node. Therefore, his answer is related to the question of whether the team will stay or leave.
"Well, the plan is like this. Our personal terminal positioning function will be interfered to a certain extent here, but its own internal sensing component should not have this problem. Now we will bind a sensing component respectively, and then...
..." Resa paused.
"In the next period of time, you may have to act alone. You take the sensing component and fly towards the royal city. Pay attention to the signal on your personal terminal. Once the signal weakens, you need to stop and wait. In this way, we can smoothly
Follow your signal and head to the central area."
"Are you acting alone?" A wicked smile suddenly appeared on Ikaros Furui's face: "Maybe you don't know yet, but I am at my strongest when I act alone!"
"Really?" Resa nodded: "I hope that when we come to the source of the signal, we won't be led into the abyss by your body."
"Abyss?" Icarus was stunned: "It's not like I haven't seen it before, what a pity! Alas~~~~~" After saying that, his figure suddenly emitted a strange green light, and in an extremely...
