Chapter 494 The Third Generation of Viruses
The time soon reached the fourth day, and in the hell mission, the players who died in the first wave came back online one after another.
Although the game "Cyber World" is wirelessly simulated, it is still a game after all. The system gives two options for going online.
The first is to go online at a fixed resurrection point, which is usually the stronghold of the player's camp and is set by the player himself.
The second type is to go online at the place of death. This is probably because players have the need to recycle equipment or restart the mission.
There is no doubt that no one will give up on the first second-level top-level mission in this game just because they died once.
However, when these veterans came online again, they were almost invariably dumbfounded.
“Damn it! The map has changed!”
“It’s unscientific, it’s only been three days, is the planning so hesitant? How many hairs does he have left?”
"The island, the island is gone!"
"It's not that there are no more, it's that there are more. What was said on the forum is actually true, damn! This is too exaggerated!!"
At this moment, what is presented to the player is a mini island group The smallest of these 'islands' is only the size of a basketball court. There may be a building or a merry-go-round on it, while the larger one is a small forest. These deformed trees that cover the sky seem to have been destroyed overnight. Ripening, in the woods, there is the faint roar of the radiation beast.
A careful player counted it and found that there are fifty of these 'islands' in total, which are basically split from Atomic City. They are not far apart, at most a hundred meters, at least ten meters, let alone Players, even ordinary people, can swim across it with a single plunge, and for some agility transformers, they can even cross it with a single leap.
However, when some players planned to do this, some 'newcomers' looked at them with surprised eyes.
“Are you looking for death?”
"Leaping levels to kill monsters?"
"Didn't you read the forum?"
"What does it mean?" One of the first players to die couldn't help but ask.
“I mean, you’ll know after you try it——”
The player shrugged, picked up his gun and walked towards an ancient robot stronghold, fully demonstrating what death means. Taoist friends are immortal and poor.
It’s not that the old players are careless, it’s just that they are in a hurry to recycle their equipment!
A certain player saw with his own eyes that the advanced prosthetic body he finally obtained was hung on the head of the opposite robot dog. How could he hold back? He just took a step and was about to cross. The sea, and then in the next moment, a purple light flashed, and the person mysteriously disappeared.
About three minutes, this player’s post came to the game forum.
‘Ahhhhhh! Why does teleportation happen when you go to the sea? And teleportation is fine! Why did you teleport me directly to the pile of monsters? I ran out of blood in an instant, ahhhhhhhhh! My transformation rate has dropped! ! ! '
Players actually don't care much about losing levels and experience. Anyway, you can get it back by fighting monsters. But if you die frequently, there is a certain probability of losing the 'transformation rate'. Once the transformation rate Decline not only means that the previously implanted prosthesis cannot be used, but also this 'drop' is permanent and cannot be raised back up. This means that at the same level, your ceiling is lower than others. This is The most deceiving.
Not to mention the gloating and cynicism on the forum, most of the first batch of deceased people were not so reckless. They began to hang up and go to the forum to post highlights, and quickly figured out what was going on.
It turns out that after the first batch of players died, this hell mission has evolved from 'biochemical mode' and 'electronic ghost' to the current island version, which is the third version.
Needless to say, the biochemical mode is a group of prosthetic zombies, known as the version with the most useless equipment.
The 'Electronic Ghost' is the content of the second version. This version is very strange. Players will die suddenly and their blood volume will be cleared instantly. They don't know how they died. But before they die, listen to There were faint footsteps, so it was affectionately called 'ghost mode' by players.
But players are players after all. After various death methods and verification by system prompts, they finally figured out that this 'electronic ghost' is actually a very special kind of 'lethal virus'. This virus is similar to It is related to your "durability of the prosthetic body". Once the durability drops to two-thirds of the loss, the virus will attack instantly, and the "ghost" will invade, or in other words, the prosthetic body will backfire and kill the implanter.
More people died in this version than in the first version, including many high-level players, because they had no idea about the principle of 'death'.
Then there is the current version, which was just 'launched' yesterday. The entire Atomic City is split into many small islands, and each small island is equivalent to a small map. Players must complete this small map. The 'main mission' of the map is either decryption or exploration before you can go to the next island. It is equivalent to a large map being broken down into 50 box garden structures.
And if you go directly to the next island, you will be directly transferred to the pile of monsters and beaten to death.
In this process, the difficulty of the monsters will increase exponentially. Even if you are a high-level player, it will be difficult for one person to deal with it.
However, as long as you complete a few side tasks, you will get powerful NPC teammates, for example, mercenaries from Mars' Edge.
So far, the player with the highest level of clearance has broken through 41 mini-maps. This player is not the famous Umbrella Brother, nor is she the leader in the butter industry, Sister Ji, but an unknown female player. Her name is Tick.
At this time, Dida was advancing at a furious speed, breaking through the 42nd map. With a wave of his hand, countless energy hyphae danced and quickly cleared away the mobs. Although these hyphae The damage is not high, but there are a lot of them. It's like releasing a swarm of fireflies. The skill is very beautiful.
However, she did not dodge the attacks from the ancient robots. For pure energy beings, physical attacks were ineffective, which was why she broke through so quickly.
Soon, Professor Xie’s holographic projection appeared, and he began to talk about the evolutionary history of the virus called ‘Atomic Heart’.
"The virus is evolving. I can feel that the virus that originated in the old era is taking root in the new era. In order to grasp its power and control its disasters, we must..."
"Okay, you made it up The story is not as good as you think, Mr. G," Tick interrupted rudely.
'Dr. "If you say that again, I will tell you how much you have left me behind in the digital space."
'Dr. Xie' sighed, rubbed his brows, and looked at It seemed that he had become dozens of years younger in an instant, and Mr. G's shadow could be vaguely seen.
"I really don't know how to make up stories. If I write a novel, I will kill you."
"You are too lazy, too lazy to even bother to cover up. The mutated radioactive beasts on these small islands are still There are some electronic traps that really resemble someone’s aura and handwriting.”
I don’t know why, even though he is a mysterious NPC with an unknown origin, when we meet again, Tick is extremely friendly. , it’s like meeting an old friend.
What Gao Gong originally prepared about the grievances and resentments of Dr. Xie, Ma Fengmang, and Du Gao Gao, as well as their respective ambitions and troublemaking plans, were all wasted. The outline was directly distorted, but G. His reputation for being thick-skinned was not in vain, so he handed the draft directly to the other party.
"Since you have discovered it, there is nothing we can do. I give you the pen and you write it."
Tick glanced at it, and the corner of his mouth twitched a few times. It read very clearly -
Borrowing the bodies of participants to catalyze the upgrading of the 'Metal Heart', and according to the draft, this virus is at least It cannot be officially formed until it reaches the fifth generation, and each generation of this virus will kill at least tens of thousands of people. The more powerful the virus, the more 'tools' it needs to consume.
For example, the third-generation ‘Metal Flesh Virus’ developed today. The characteristic of this virus is to decompose the ‘essence’ of metal materials and integrate them into the surrounding environment.
In human terms, once the mini-map cannot be broken through in a short period of time, the prosthetic equipment, and even your modified body, will permanently lose attributes.
The player is out of luck! This is it!
As a kind and orderly player, I can't stand it. Tikta uses players as medicine jars, deceives people, and destroys equipment. More importantly, this kind of task is impossible to complete. This is too disgusting! This NPC is anti-human!
She raised her head with a serious face and said seriously: "We have to add more money!!"
......
Gao Gong successfully negotiated this with the extra money lady. A transaction was then transferred to the 'Purple String Space'. In this energy space, countless threads are intertwined with each other to form an illusory world. In this world, there are island groups composed of atomic islands floating in the purple energy ocean. Among them, up and down.
In fact, without his almost 'unlimited' Honkai energy catalysis, the 'Atomic Heart' would never have matured so quickly, and without the succession of medicine jar players, the virus would not have become so Fast mutation.
"Hey, you will gain wisdom after every experience. It is better to make medicine jars than tin cans. I will be more careful in the future and know that not all tasks can be accepted."
This is why the senior engineer did not deliberately win over the players. The reason for joining the camp.
First of all, this game does not rely on more people to win, and secondly -
Once you get used to it, it will be difficult to start!
In the purple string space, Gao Gong can observe the world from a special angle. At this time, in the purple sea water, small bubbles are popping up, and This kind of small bubble has a strange metallic luster, and even though it is soaked in energy, it shows no sign of melting.
While Gao Gong was observing carefully, Miao Miaomiao's anxious voice suddenly came to mind.
"Oh no, our surveillance satellites found traces of the robot."
