Chapter 509: Return of the Player, a Full-Blown Disaster of Alienation
Garton Galaxy, Ninth Star Sector, Seablue Star.
In summer, Nanzhou is experiencing scorching heat, the sun hangs high, and the air is twisted under the high temperature.
At the moment when version 2.0 was opened, inside the third refuge, the originally empty square, the figures of players appeared one after another, hundreds, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands... The originally empty square became overcrowded within a few seconds.
Before the version update, due to the [Last Front] mission left by Han Xiao and the analysis of the 2.0 mainline by "Star Sea Times", hundreds of thousands of players from Star Seablue gathered in the shelter and chose to log off here. When version 2.0 was launched, the place where these hundreds of thousands of players went online was the third refuge.
Hundreds of thousands of people crowded around, looking around curiously.
"It's version 2.0 now?"
"Nothing seems to have changed."
"Hey, the level cap has been raised, experience can continue to be used to upgrade, it is indeed a new version."
"Is there no other changes, I really just want to try to shit in the game."
"Pants-off party, please respect yourself."
The players talked a lot, and each opened the panel to check the attributes. Except that the capped level could continue to be upgraded, there was no other change in personal information.
However, someone soon discovered that the prompt of a mission had changed, it was [The Last Position], and the mission status had changed from "frozen" to "on".
This is the reward pool mission left by Han Xiao before he left. The mission requirement is to protect the third refuge, which is to warm up the disaster of alienation and attract players to gather here. As he expected, this mission is suspected by the players to be related to the 2.0 plot.
And now, this mission has actually started!
Doesn't that mean that the "catastrophe" in the mission prompt has already begun?
Many players suddenly became excited. Thanks to the black ghost, they hardly participated in the main plot of the previous version. This time there is finally a serious event!
By the way, the NPC who issued this mission is still Black Specter... Oh, now it's called Black Star, is he still in Interstellar?
Thinking of Han Xiao, many players couldn't help but envy the group of professional players who were taken away by him, stepped into the interstellar earlier, and left them a few streets away for food and clothing.
While the player was observing, a broadcast suddenly sounded inside the shelter.
"All aliens, please stay where you are! Repeat, all aliens, please stay where you are!"
Soon, a large number of guards surrounded the square, their faces were full of surprise, and they stared 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 frightened the managers of the third refuge, and Bennett hurriedly sent someone to control the scene.
At the same time, the players in Sanctuary 3 triggered the same quest.
[【stay on the spot】]
[Mission introduction: During the period when you disappeared, many things happened on Planet Aquamarine. At this time, it is at the juncture of the survival of civilization. Stay where you are and wait patiently for the relevant people to explain the situation]
This is a small task with few rewards, just as the players also want to understand the situation, hundreds of thousands of people obediently stayed in the square—mainly surrounded by guards, God knows if they will be attacked if they leave rashly, no one wants to be in the version At the beginning, the favorability of the shelter will be lost.
Not long after, Bennett hurried over, looking at the crowd of people, his eyes flashed with joy.
He remembered Han Xiao's previous instructions, saying that Yiren is the backbone force against this catastrophe. At this juncture, Yiren reappeared. He didn't know the reason. He only knew that Yiren came very timely, and now is the time when manpower is urgently needed. .
Bennett took out the loudspeaker and said loudly: "Everyone, Planet Aquamarine is suffering an unprecedented disaster and urgently needs help..."
He quickly explained the situation, and only then did the players know that it has been more than a year since the last version, and just over a month ago, a strange phenomenon spread rapidly in Seablue Star, and finally turned into a catastrophe. A catastrophe sweeping the globe.
Planet Aquamarine called it the "Disaster of Alienation".
At this time, it has been a month since the catastrophe of alienation broke out, and the pattern of the entire planet was greatly turbulent, and the regimes of the six countries almost collapsed in just one month.
No one knows the cause of the disaster. They only know that it is some kind of virus, which is called "alienated virus". Countless creatures, humans, beasts and even plants are infected, but the appearance, transmission mechanism and The principle of operation is that no one knows whether they are infected or not.
When the virus does not break out, each infected person is no different from usual. Once the virus breaks out, the infected person will suddenly have unusual desires, including but not limited to killing intent, destructive desire, anger, sadness, madness, burning desire, Hunger, thirst and other tendencies, a weak person may become a murderous butcher at the next moment, a normal person may suddenly squat down and swallow the sand until he swells himself, and a dignified woman may suddenly become a slut.
The most frightening thing is that during the attack, the patients still maintain their rationality, which means that they are not out of control or impulsive, but these desires guide their thoughts and make various actions.
According to the memories of the survivors afterwards, when they got sick, these desires came from their hearts, and they were all their real thoughts at the time, as if their personality had been tampered with and turned into another person, but they couldn't realize it themselves. sometimes feel that their behavior is normal.
Bennett gave a few examples, and the confused players immediately knew the horror of the disaster of alienation.
Red Maple was the first place where large-scale outbreaks occurred. Infected people in the army picked up guns and shot their comrades frantically. The army fell into chaos instantly. No one knew which soldier who shot was the infected person. A civil war broke out and tanks were used. , helicopters, rockets and other weapons, a large-scale outbreak almost disintegrated half of Hongfeng's military power.
The president has even shown a serious tendency to violence. He wants to grow mushrooms all over the world. Fortunately, launching a nuclear bomb requires a complicated process. If the nuclear bomb launch button is on the president’s desk, the world is probably at nuclear level now, and the president was arrested afterwards. .
All kinds of absurdities that are impossible to happen under normal circumstances are staged without warning. It is not scary for one person to be crazy, but what is terrible is that the whole world is crazy.
No one knows when the people around them will have an attack, and they can't even guarantee whether they are normal. This kind of panic is unparalleled, as if the whole world has become an enemy, and they can no longer trust others, and they are in constant fear.
The disaster of alienation broke out for a month, and the social order collapsed. Many prosperous cities turned into wasteland. Citizens had to move or find places to hide for safety. Pessimism became the mainstream. A view on the disaster of alienation is in There is a global epidemic that nuclear radiation is the cause of the virus.
So countless civilians began to curse and blame the budding war that brought them peace, thinking that this is retribution, this is the end!
After listening to the introduction, many players felt chills. Putting themselves in their shoes, this virus is too terrifying. Originally, players had various speculations about the so-called "disaster" of version 2.0, but they did not expect such a weird situation.
What the hell is an alienated virus?
For a while, the players were a little confused, the time flow was not synchronized during the update period, the update time in the eyes of the players was only a few days, and the familiar world was subverted?
Is it so exciting? !
"Isn't this virus unsolvable?" a player asked.
Bennett shook his head, "Currently we have found two ways to resist alienation virus. First, superpowers are not easy to be infected. This has been verified. Second, our third refuge has developed an inhibitor , 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."
After the voice fell, the players' panels moved, and the main task was triggered at the same time!
[[Disaster of Alienation]]
[Mission introduction: Planet Aquamarine is suffering an unprecedented disaster, and it is the responsibility of all living beings on this planet to resist the disaster of alienation! ]
[Task Requirement: Contribute to the fight against the Alienation Disaster]
[Progress: 0/3000w]
[Success conditions: before the alienated virus becomes a complete body, the progress is achieved]
[Failure condition: Seablue Star civilization collapses, all survivors are forced to evacuate]
[Reward: Depends on personal progress contribution (Note: Even if the total progress is reduced due to the growth of the virus, the accumulated progress of the individual will also be included in the reward evaluation)]
The mission requirements of hundreds of thousands of players are similar to those of Han Xiao, except that the player's [Disaster of Alienation] mission requires only 30 million progress on Planet Aquamarine, while Han Xiao's mission requirements include all other planets that have been cast into disasters of alienation , it is obvious that Master Han's task is more complete.
This is a large-scale main task for all players. The contribution of each player will be counted into the overall progress, and it is necessary to work together to achieve the task goal.
"We triggered the main mission just after going online? The plot of this version comes so fast!"
"Don't need foreplay, go straight to Huanglong, I like it so straightforward."
"...No, we directly obtained the main mission, it should be because we went online in the third refuge, where we can enter the main mission earlier, the Star Sea Times analysis is correct."
Everyone was stunned when they recalled it.
Sure enough, that’s right, if it’s in other places, no one will explain the situation carefully, and just now 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 task left by the black ghost that led them here.
He is our guiding light!
With the main quest, the players were refreshed and asked what they could do to help. Hundreds of thousands of people threw the scene into chaos. Bennett managed to stabilize the order and asked his subordinates to list various jobs. The tasks are different in content, but the rewards are all to increase the progress of the main task.
The manpower required for each task is limited, which immediately caused a rush.
The grand guild grabbed the most quests, and some solo players didn't get the official quests of the shelter, and their faces were a little depressed.
A player couldn't help asking: "Can I leave the shelter now, I want to go elsewhere."
Bennett looked helpless, "You'd better go up to the city wall and have a look."
The huge steel wall of the refuge completely covered the outside scene. Hearing this, many players became curious. A group of players climbed up the wall and looked outside the refuge.
After just one glance, these players were stunned, with shock on their faces.
Within tens of kilometers around the shelter, countless tents were densely packed together, like gray clouds covering the maroon ground, like a huge open-air refugee camp. I don’t know how many people stayed outside the shelter and refused to As we left, there were sounds of shouting and fighting from a certain location from time to time. I don't know if someone got sick, or they were fighting for scarce water or food.
"Words are out that we have inhibitors, and countless people come here every day, wanting to inject inhibitors, and seek our protection."
Bennett followed up, looking at the endless refugee camp 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 others wait outside in camps. The more people there are, the more incidents will occur. Many people die outside every day, but I can't Put everyone in, otherwise there will be riots inside too...I can only watch them die."
The whole world is helpless against the disaster of alienation, and only the Third Refuge has a solution. The result is obvious. This place has become a pure land in the eyes of refugees, carrying the last hope, and countless people flock here.
After the alienation disaster broke out in the previous life, everyone became headless chickens, panicked, aimless, and the situation was very chaotic. Now, due to Han Xiao's influence on the plot, the refugees of the entire planet have a target, which is the black ghost The third refuge, regarded as the only savior.
However, the inhibitor made by Yiyeqing and Aurora can only be effective for a short time, and cannot permanently remove the virus. Bennett has no idea how to solve this catastrophe, and no one in Seablue Star knows. He couldn't help but think of the reason why Han Xiao went to Interstellar in the first place. The Black Phantom was going to find a solution to the disaster. Does this mean that staying on Seablue Star can't solve the alienation disaster?
Bennett can only pin his hopes on Han Xiao...if he can really come back.
"There is no other refuge now..." Bennett said with a heavy tone, "Here is the only refuge."
