at the same time.
The Juberly Hub, the former temporary base of the Black Star Mercenary Group.
Dozens of glimmers flashed, and the professional players who followed Han Xiao appeared one after another. It was Crazy Blade, Haotian, Meatbao and others. When the version was updated, they all went offline here.
The habit of high play is to open the panel at the first time and check the changes of the version. As a professional player, the most concerned about practical factors such as personal attributes and equipment.
After confirming that the level cap was raised, everyone glanced at each other, then looked around, suddenly stunned.
I saw that there was no one in the base, only the monotonous light was lit lonely, the metal walls and the ground reflected a faint white light, although the whole base was spotless due to the cleaning equipment, but the open door and the quiet atmosphere were enough to make players I noticed that this stronghold has not been inhabited for a long time.
Everything in every room disappeared, including Black Star's private warehouse and mechanical modification room. If not even the furniture was gone, they would have thought that the stronghold had been burglarized.
"Why is there no one, where is my Black Star?" Crazy Blade wondered.
"I don't know how long it has passed, it seems that they are no longer here." Haotian said solemnly.
"It's also possible that they are all dead." Li Ge pondered, attracting glares from everyone, but there is a historical reason for him to think so. He still remembers that the guild under their temple club encountered a task release during the internal test. Location leveled cups.
"It's so stupid, just look at the faction information." Fengyue gave them a white look. As a member of the mercenary group, you can check the basic information of the faction, so as to know the status of the Black Star mercenary group, there is no need to guess.
However, the players do not know that they can see the faction information because Han Xiao deliberately added this information to the faction interface, in order to let the player know the improvement of the mercenary group at a glance, to enhance the sense of belonging. , all the conveniences given to players are for better money grabbing.
Open the interface of the mercenary group, the data jumped into view, and the high-level players were surprised.
"There are more people in the camp, there are actually more than 400 people, and there are more hires completed... Oh, look at the reviews, it says that the base of the Black Star Mercenary Group is located in Jinmen Star at this time, it turns out that the mercenary group has moved... But Kinmen Where is the star?" Mad Saber said.
"It's not over yet, looking at this deed, Black Star actually killed a natural disaster-level power user in Norios! Damn, it's so serious..." Meat Bun was about to be amazed, but suddenly felt wrong, "Wait, natural disaster What is the level?"
At this time, the players don't know that the alias of A-level is called natural disaster level, and I haven't heard it before... but it feels good.
Anyway, players can only look up to the power above the C-level step position.
What did the Black Star mercenary group experience when they were absent
At this moment, the doorbell of the stronghold suddenly rang, and the high-level players were startled. Before they could react, Tai Erzi had given up thinking and opened the door directly. There was a triangular snake-headed man standing outside the door.
"Are you members of the Black Star Mercenary Group?" the snake man asked.
Gao Play looked at each other in dismay, and then nodded.
"I'm a captain of the Crown Tour Group. Your Excellency Black Star asked me to send you to Seablue Star." The snake man spat out a letter, "Please come with me."
Hearing this, a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on everyone's faces. I didn't expect that Black Star would send a boat to pick them up. Is there such a lineup!
…
The disaster of alienation has drastically changed the global landscape. The rule of the six countries has almost collapsed, most of the country has been thrown into chaos, and the government has lost its control.
Because the alienation virus makes everyone have the chance to get sick, the same goes for public officials, and organs at all levels are paralyzed. If a regime loses the people who work for it, it means that it loses all its power and exists in name only. The six countries are sliding towards this abyss.
All links and strata of society are made up of people, and the essence of forming an order is to make people take the initiative to become obedient. There are many factors, such as law enforcement agencies, the military, the economic system, cultural traditions, moral concepts, mainstream values, etc., all to make people obey. People understand the fate of breaking the rules, so they self-restrain their behavior. The alienating virus destroys people's normal logic and fear. When they get sick, they don't consider the consequences at all, and these factors will lose their effect. The seemingly unbreakable order, overnight. In between became fragile china.
chaos.
This is the most appropriate definition of today's social landscape.
Unable to trust any creature, only cold machinery is the only reliable thing left.
After the catastrophe broke out, the regimes of the six countries abandoned their previous suspicions. In the face of the disaster, their respective interests were no longer important. There was no other choice but to join forces. At this time, the senior leaders of the six countries were having a video conference.
"As early as 20 days ago, we jointly applied to Gedora civilization for assistance, Gedora said to come as soon as possible, but it's been so long, they haven't appeared yet!"
The Alienization Disaster is like a strong girl wearing chastity pants. No matter what the **** can't open the door, the Six Nations know that the Seablue Star technology level cannot solve this catastrophe, and any means can't be effective, so they report the disaster situation, The six countries have channels to contact Gedora, looking forward to a higher civilization to save them.
However, until now, no spaceship has come, which made the senior officials of the Six Nations panic, and kept urging, and only the formulaic answer of artificial intelligence was always obtained.
In fact, the six kingdoms are not clear, the place where the alienation disaster broke out is not only Seablue Star, the Garton Galaxy is blooming everywhere, competing for beauty, and Gedora is also in a hurry, looking confused. Han Xiao has not revealed that this is Dusky Star’s conspiracy, so Gedora is in the dark, and the level of attention has not been raised to a very high level.
"When Gedora arrives is out of our control, and now there is a new situation. Not long ago, the alien who disappeared for more than a year reappeared."
"This is too coincidental, maybe the alienation virus is what they brought!" Someone said angrily.
The Six Nations have always suspected the cause of the aliens, not our race, and prejudice and discrimination have never disappeared.
"In any case, most of the aliens are superpowers, they may be able to help, no matter who it is, I just want this nightmare to wake up early, and now in this situation, I don't even dare to meet my wife, I'm afraid that one day I won't be able to control myself and hurt her." An official frowned.
"Although Bennett announced the formula of the inhibitor to the world, only the third sanctuary can produce stably. He said that he couldn't give us more potions. I don't believe it, they must be hiding more inhibitors."
As soon as this remark came out, the current leaders of the six countries were silent, and they all knew that everyone here was coveting the inhibitor.
When a disaster happens, and you have the only thing in your hand to resist the disaster, then the meaning of this thing exceeds its own role. For the inhibitor, everyone can only obey, even if Bennett has no other thoughts , At this time, the third sanctuary has also become the center of the world, and countless people are rushing there.
The six countries really want to control the inhibitor, in order to unite the people and restore the collapsed regime, but if they go to snatch, the situation that the world has finally adapted to will be broken again, which will cause even greater risks. With irreversible consequences, is the consolidation of power more important than the survival of an entire civilization
Some people can't convince themselves, some people can, but no matter which faction, the ideas are not so firm, and they oscillate between the two.
"If you really want to do it, it's best to do it as soon as possible..." Ruilan's leader said solemnly: "Time waits for no one."
…
Two days passed in a flash.
Hundreds of thousands of players stayed in Sanctuary 3 to adapt to the new version and participate in the main quest.
Although the number of players is large, there are almost endless tasks in the sanctuary at this time. The most rewarding is the official task released by Bennett. The number of such tasks is limited every day, while other tasks are triggered by different characters. Countless refugees outside the shelter have all kinds of requests, and they can't finish them. These tasks are heavy and boring to others. Players do it with fun, serious attitude, and enthusiasm for work. All of them are like models of good citizens. The pacesetter, but instead made the guards of the refuge itself ashamed.
The rewards for most of the tasks are to obtain the progress of [Alienation Disaster]. After two days of actions by all players in Seablue Star, the total progress reached 73, which should have been more, but the damage caused by the alienation disaster will reduce a part of the total amount every day. Progress, players must keep accumulating progress, otherwise they will retreat if they do not advance.
Although the principle of the alienation virus is not clear, the player can ignore this, as long as there is a task guide, the boring head will be done.
Since the 2.0 version will enter the interstellar, players know that this main line is only the first big story of the opening of the new version, not the whole. Players from other planets basically have the same experience. The opening is a crisis, but the events are different. Winter Star is the funniest. As a garrison planet of the Extinguishing Legion, it was sent troops to crusade. How mad.
In contrast, Seablue Star players entered the main line at the fastest speed, but the specific situation was very different from the previous life.
The activity level of the forum is the same as before the update, and it is even hotter. The new version opens, many players are sharing information, and the speed of the post refresh is very fast.
Bennett stood on the city wall and looked down at the lively and noisy refuge. Hundreds of thousands of aliens were everywhere, solving the urgent need for manpower. Seeing this scene, his brows could not help but stretch out a little.
"Fortunately, there is this group of aliens to help. I didn't expect that the influence left by the black ghost is still protecting us." Bennett sighed with a complicated tone.
Hela was behind him, leaning against the wall, with a blank face, silently looking at the endless refugee camp outside the city.
"Ah"
Suddenly, the refugee camp suddenly erupted with strange screams one after another, and countless people fell ill at the same time. There was no warning. This is the terrible thing about the alienation virus, and it may break out at any time.
The refugee camp, which was barely maintaining order, became chaotic in an instant. Millions of sick people fought and fought with red eyes. The scene was particularly spectacular. The noisy sound mixed with the rumbling sound waves was deafening.
A small number of refugees who did not have the disease looked terrified, sitting on the ground shivering, and the guards on the wall of the shelter were also stunned.
Bennett's face changed suddenly, he grabbed the wall with both hands, and fingerprints were pinched out of the concrete.
"With so many people gathered here, once the collective disease occurs, the consequences will be very serious. When the symptoms subside naturally, the number of deaths may have already exceeded one million!"
Many players stopped the task at hand. This was the first time they saw a collective disease. They were in shock, and someone turned on the video recording function.
They have seen war scenes, but this is the first time that millions of people are fighting. Refugees hardly use weapons, only fists and teeth, like beasts, extremely savage and bloody.
"It must be stopped, otherwise many people will die. Let our people act and knock out all those who are sick!"
Bennett immediately ordered that every infected person has a chance to be saved. With so many people killing each other in front of his eyes, he couldn't just sit back and watch.
rumbling
At this moment, there was a sound of vibration in the distance, getting louder and louder. Looking around, I saw countless beasts rushing forward, mighty.
The beasts of Seablue Star are also infected by the alienated virus. The wild environment is very dangerous, but now it has become more difficult to survive, and it is different from the human disease state. Although the diseased beasts are violent, they will form groups. Act as units, sometimes fighting each other, sometimes storming cities.
The beasts rushed to the edge of the refugee camp, the massacre broke out, the refugees were bitten and trampled by the wild beasts, their bodies were shattered, the scene was bloody, and the corpses were bloody. Kill like.
Snapped.
Bennett smashed a piece of the wall and said angrily: "No, there are beasts at this time, hurry up and save people, if you leave it alone, all the refugees will die!"
At this time, the player's task list changed, and the total progress of [Alienation Disaster] began to plummet, and it lost 1 point in a blink of an eye. Everyone triggered an urgent collective task at the same time. The request was to save the refugees outside the city as much as possible, and the reward was 5~ 20 total progress, the fewer people die, the higher the reward.
However, the speed of progress is very fast. If you don't save people quickly, I am afraid that most of the accumulation in the past two days will be buried.
"Get out of the city to save people!"
"If you want to form a team, anyone can do it, just ask for a full crowd!"
Hundreds of thousands of players in the shelter panicked and rushed into action. They went out of the city to rescue the slaughtering refugees, knocked out the sick and sent them to the shelter.
In addition to the rescue team, Bennett asked some players to delay the pace of the beast herd. The number of beast herds is huge, at least 300,000 animals. They will not be able to kill them in a while, so they can only delay and try to rescue as many refugees as possible.
Hela had already entered the herd, and the dark red energy was released recklessly. One after another, beasts three or four meters high died in her hands. The surrounding players were also fighting against the herd.
Killing is what she is best at. Fighting has long been integrated into her bones. She is accustomed to eating and breathing. However, this battle has made her feel very complicated. She used to kill innocent executioners for the first time. It's awkward to fight against related strangers.
rumbling
The scene was chaotic. The refugee camp area was caught in the middle. On one end, the herd was advancing, causing heavy casualties. On the other end, the player was saving people. , is still killing each other, making a mess!
There are many chaos, even with Bennett's strength, he feels dazzled, sweating in his palms, and staring at the situation nervously.
"There are too many beasts, the attack frequency is at least four times a second, and it can't handle the damage at all!"
"Damn, my mind is broken, I was crushed by a butt!"
"There are gaps everywhere, I can't stop it at all!"
Players who resist the herd are powerless, and people keep dying. Although they can be resurrected, they still have to run out of the shelter, delaying time, and the most important thing is time. Every second, the total progress is slipping rapidly. very anxious.
call out
Just when the situation was going downhill, a piercing scream suddenly came from the sky. Even in a chaotic and noisy environment, the sound still clearly reached everyone's ears, and countless eyes looked up to the sky subconsciously.
I saw hundreds of egg-shaped metal cabins falling from the sky, shrouded in flames that penetrated the atmosphere, like hundreds of bolides, and the crash site was before the gate of the refuge.
bang bang bang! !
The metal cabins fell to the ground one after another, smashing out cracks all over the ground, and the momentum was eye-catching. The next moment, the hatches popped open with a snort, and every metal cabin walked out.
This group of people all wore armor, held weapons, and dressed in a variety of styles. Obviously, they were outsiders who did not belong to Seablue Star. Everyone gathered with curiosity and surprise, and immediately understood that these metal eggs were airdrops.
These uninvited guests are warriors from the stars!
Just when everyone was about to doubt the purpose of this group of interstellar people, one of the masked black men who seemed to be the leader waved his hand, and hundreds of interstellar warriors acted at the same time, rushing towards the herd.
boom boom boom
The space warriors burst out with powerful combat power and immediately took over the battle, as if the unstoppable herd had hit an iron wall and was stopped!
With just a few hundred people, the effect is far more than the tens of thousands of players around!
Horror flashed in Hela's eyes. She was in the battlefield and had the deepest experience. Almost all the space warriors put more pressure on her than Bennett, and Bennett was basically the strongest of Seablue Star.
It means that any of these space warriors is stronger than Bennett!
With the intervention of unknown reinforcements, the crisis was alleviated, and only the masked man in black remained at the gate and did not act. Bennett jumped off the city wall, came to the masked man, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Where are you from? Why help us?"
Bennett had seen the captured Gedora investigator before, so when he saw aliens at this time, he would not lose his mind.
But in the next second, the calm expression he barely maintained turned into consternation in an instant.
"Long time no see, Bennett, why are you so surprised, what, do you think I won't come back?"
Han Xiao raised his hand and slowly took off his mask, revealing his face, the corners of his mouth curled into a light smile, feeling very handsome.
Bennett froze, unable to believe what he saw, his lips quivering, and his shocked expression quickly turned to ecstasy.
Hela in the distance suddenly widened her eyes.
The moment Han Xiao took off his mask, almost every player was stunned. Immediately afterwards, the joy of reuniting after a long absence arose, and morale soared. This familiar figure was like a cardiotonic, injecting a scalding heat into all the players present. The blood is so excited that the scalp begins to numb, the tail root tightens, and the heart is surging!
"It's him! Black Star is back!!"
