Act 1: Broken Heart Chapter 23: Lurkers in the Darkness

Icarus has always been popular with girls. His handsome face and elegant temperament are powerful tools for capturing girls' hearts. Although he is not a philanderer, he still has a certain degree of confidence in this aspect. .

Only this time, it was a failure.

Looking at the vigilant two girls, Icarus really didn't know what to say, and finally put the fruit basket by the door: "Dear Miss Nuanxin, you encountered such an unhappy thing during the Frostfall node. , our guardians did not do their job well. I came to visit Miss Nuan Xin on behalf of the guardian team. Now that I see that Miss Nuan Xin is fine, I feel relieved and say hello to Mr. Resa for me."

After Icarus bowed to signal, without waiting for what the two women were saying, he walked towards the end of the street as if running away.

"..." The two women stared blankly at Icarus who disappeared around the corner of the street.

After a while, Ye Mosha turned around and asked, "Xiao Mi, do you know this person?"

"I'm not very familiar with him. This is the second time I've seen him. He saved me last time. He also gave me the two potions." Nuan Xin looked at the fruit basket on the ground with a complicated look. She really She was really afraid that this person was interested in her. If she caused trouble to her master, Nuan Xin would have trouble sleeping and eating.

Ye Mosha saw Nuan Xin's look, and after thinking about it carefully, she guessed what Nuan Xin was worried about, so she hugged Nuan Xin and comforted her: "I think this person probably has a brain problem, and don't worry, either. He said, 'Say hello to Mr. Reza for him,' which means that he knows the master. We should just tell the master about this when he comes back. By the way, do you know his name?"

"emmmm~~~, it seems to be called Elos, I can't remember clearly, it's probably a similar name." Nuan Xin tilted her head and thought about it, but she felt like she couldn't remember it clearly.

"Okay, let's do it!" Ye Mosha clicked on her personal terminal: "Instruction, detect the target's risk factor." After saying that, she clicked on the fruit basket in front of her, and then the fruit basket was wrapped in a ball of blue light.

"The system is being tested... The test is completed, the risk index is 0, and no dangerous goods or viruses have been found." An electronic synthesized voice sounded in the courtyard.

"Command, recover to the fresh-keeping sealed cabin." Ye Mosha clicked a few times on her personal terminal. Since the house's operating system was reprogrammed by her, the house's operating terminal has completely become her private property. Of course, The highest command authority is in the hands of Resa. Not even Ye Mosha can change this, and she will not change it.

Seeing the blue light group flying towards the villa carrying the fruit basket, Ye Mosha helped Nuan Xin walk towards the villa. They cherished the life here. Of course, Ye Mosha also had some things she wanted to change, such as Talk about pushing it to Reza or something.

………

After arriving at the Warp Fortress this time, Reza found that there were obviously fewer people than the last time. However, this did not have much impact. The Warp Fortress would open a warp every other day regardless of whether there were enough people. This was also Resa didn't know about it until he came back after his last trip. This also made Resa sigh that it is beneficial to have a large shelter node.

If we were in the frost node before, we would have to wait for enough people to open it once. Basically, it would take three or four days to go to the wilderness to gather enough people. Some people may find it strange that even the smallest survivor sheltered by the frost node , there are more than 10 million people, and it will take three or four days to gather just 1,000 people?

But the fact is that it is like this! Sometimes even three or four days may not be enough to get together. Human beings are animals that are accustomed to comfort. Especially when they know how dangerous the situation they are about to face is, human beings often choose to move towards it.

Good luck and avoid bad luck.

From the perspective of human beings, the wilderness is no longer the earth they know, and their strength cannot find a better way to survive in the wilderness. So staying in the shelter node, even if it is just to survive, life is better than death. Faced with

Human beings are always safer than facing those unknown creatures.

Besides, there is a team of guardians in the shelter node to maintain order. If you be careful, you will have no problem staying alive.

Therefore, few people choose to become explorers. It is a job that involves a narrow escape from death, and becoming an explorer is not that simple. Most explorers still fight with firearms, which also makes mechanics more vulnerable to death.

A career becomes popular.

After all, no matter how powerful a single weapon is, it cannot match the firepower of several firearms firing at the same time. Mechanics were born among the earliest explorers.

They can rely on advanced programming to set up self-propelled or self-guided turrets for coordinated operations. Their powerful firepower allows them to face ordinary earth beasts and human beasts without any pressure. As long as there is enough ammunition, they can defeat even a tidal wave of humans and beasts.

It can also be worn.

Of course, mechanics rely heavily on technological weapons, and are still relatively weak when facing some high-level earth beasts and heavenly beasts. Powerful heavenly beasts can drive the energy in the body to form an energy protective layer.

No matter whether it is a metal warhead, a high-explosive warhead, an armor-piercing warhead or an energy weapon, it is impossible to break through this layer of defense in a short period of time. However, within this period of time, it is enough for the sky beast to kill the gun operator hundreds of times.

At this time, to fight against the beasts, one needs superpowers, and superpowers are also relatively rare among explorers.

The attack method of superpowers is usually to convert the superpowers in the body into elements such as fire, frost, hurricane, thunder and lightning. This power is too powerful and must be guided and launched through a guidance device, otherwise it is very likely that after being converted into frost, oneself

It was frozen first.

The superpower attack is very powerful and can quickly tear apart energy protection. Of course, whether it can cause damage to the beast still depends on the strength of the superpower in the body of the superpower. The more superpowers are stimulated, the greater the power.

The weak constitution of human beings cannot be compared with the beasts of heaven, so when facing the beasts of heaven, most of them end up being killed by humans. After losing a large number of explorers many times in a row, most humans give up on becoming explorers.

, as long as you can live safely in the shelter node, there is no need to work hard to survive.

Thinking that in the end they are likely to end up with no bones left, their children living on the streets, and their women becoming other people's playthings, more and more people give up the fight.

The number of explorers has become scarce. But they have forgotten that the reason why the shelter node can operate depends on the new energy materials found by the explorers. When there are fewer and fewer explorers, one day, the shelter node will

It will also become unsafe.

Resa once again spent more than four hundred exploration points to exchange for some energy bars, nerve paralysis resistance reagents and other medicines. It was noon, and the huge sun hung in the sky. The sunlight was very dazzling, but there was no feeling of heat. After all,

This is just an autonomous simulation of the node's climate adjustment function.

Resa found a shady place. Although it was not hot, it was very dazzling. Resa leaned in the corner, and the eaves just blocked the sunlight. Resa was bored, so he checked the jump records on his personal terminal.

, after arriving at the Frostfall node, he only made one jump, so there was only one recording point. Reza clicked on the node to check it out.

Jump point: Tislanos

Type: Small city-state

Personal number: T-000001

Introduction: A small city that was formerly directly affiliated with the Earth Alliance

One of the states with a population of about 50 million, it was conquered by a beast tide composed of nearly 100,000 earth beasts in 2231 AD, and the number of survivors was zero.

Hazard level:S+

Analysis of reasons: The number of explorers who have been to this place is 11,981, and the number of survivors is 17 (11 seriously injured, 4 slightly injured, and 2 not injured)

The danger level in this area is too high. If you choose a directional jump, you will need to pay 15,000 exploration points as a directional teleportation fee.

Resa rubbed his forehead. It seemed that his luck was really good. The first time he went to the wilderness, he encountered an S+ high-risk area. What was even better was that he came back alive. 15,000 exploration points, unless my brain

He would only go there again if he was sick, but what Resa didn't know was that in the near future, he would really have to spend 15,000 exploration points to revisit his old place. That was a story for another day.

Looking away from the personal terminal, Resa looked at the screen in the square. The number of people displayed there was only about 500, but the countdown below still had 55 minutes, which meant that the standby time for this round was still there.

There are 55 minutes. After 55 minutes, the jump will start regardless of whether the number of people reaches 1,000. Reza sorted out the equipment he carried. He secretly prayed that he would not be unlucky like last time.

More than 50 minutes passed quickly. As the purple light flashed, the square became empty again. The hustle and bustle turned into silence again, making the place become more like a forgotten place.

……………………

Resa has always thought that he is very lucky, and of course this time is no exception. The lucky Resa appeared in a dark place where he could not see his fingers. The occasional chirping sound seemed to indicate that this place was here.

It was not peaceful either. Resa clicked his finger on the ear of the mask to turn on the night vision function, and the surrounding scene appeared.

This is a long corridor. The worn ceiling above shows Resa that this is indoors. This corridor is very long. Resa turns around and looks at the place he just walked behind. Not far away is the end of the corridor.

You can vaguely see the icons of two little people.

The corners of Resa's mouth twitched. Did he throw himself into the toilet of a certain building? If he hadn't known that the area around the jump point was safe, Resa would have wanted to curse.

Last time I threw myself on the edge of the city, this time I actually threw myself directly into the city, because now it is not like 2 centuries ago, there are still some small villages on the earth, as early as the beginning of the last century

, mankind has formed a federation and uses the federal language uniformly, and the predecessors of the 12 major nodes are the 12 main cities of the human federation.

Human beings live in federal cities. Villages have long been a thing of the past, and there is no village that can build such a large building. Reza is just praying now, but never jump to a town above a large town. Last time

You can encounter white resentment in small towns. If you get to a large town, well, no need to worry, Reza can choose to crush the coins directly.

Resa ignored the toilet behind him and carefully walked through the corridor. Resa came to an empty small square-like room. The room was very big, but it was bigger than the parking lot in Resa's impression. This made Resa

He couldn't help but guess that he had jumped into a large shopping mall? Resa frowned and thought, but he didn't notice the small broken bones under his feet.

"Crack..." The sound of broken bones echoed in the area. A layer of cold sweat rose on Resa's vest. He didn't dare to make any more moves and stayed still like this for more than half an hour. The surroundings were still quiet.

Sa breathed a sigh of relief, and was just about to walk towards a downstairs not far away, but there were subtle squeaking sounds all around at the same time. Reza's footsteps paused in the air, and a horrifying feeling filled his heart.
Chapter completed!
