The wild and dead land is located at the mouth of the entire Northland.
Although it occupies the coastline, the negative energy level in the entire forbidden area exceeds normal standards, and corpses buried underground are often transformed into undead creatures unconsciously.
Even the growth of crops in this land was very average. Gradually, this area was changed from a "wild area" to a "wild and dead land", and no living person dared to set foot on it.
This extremely vast area of the Northland has gradually become an uninhabited and uninhabited place, and only powerful adventurers dare to set foot on it.
However, there are also many adventurers who have become undead creatures when they come out again after entering.
As the early morning light shone down, an ordinary person lying on the ground blinked his eyes and slowly woke up.
"What happened? It must be a dream."
Just as this civil servant who had just entered society opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that the surrounding jungle was completely different from the earth.
It's more like the "Arthur" he played before.
"Damn it, I must be thinking about it day and night. I actually miss this game that was discontinued a month ago." The man rubbed his eyes again.
But the next moment, he realized that the half-body armor he was wearing was extremely real, and it felt exactly the same as before. The only thing wrong was the heavy feeling, which he had not gotten used to for a while.
"Have I really traveled through time?" The man couldn't believe it and couldn't help but touch his face, as if to get some sense of reality from it.
"It's not just you, it's everyone." The sudden voice behind him made the man jump. He turned around quickly and found that it was a ranger wearing a chainmail shirt, with some reinforced vine strips wrapped around the armor. , obviously it has been damaged several times in the battlefield.
"What do you mean?" the warrior man couldn't help but ask.
"Look." As he said this, the ranger pointed to the position behind him.
On the muddy ground behind, hundreds of people were lying densely packed, but most of them were in a coma. Only a few Arthur players like him woke up.
"So, everything is real?" The man murmured to himself, "I thought it was a dream, eh-"
"Don't lie down stupidly." The ranger player warned, "There is something wrong with this forest. I'm afraid these people may not wake up if they lie down again."
"Then what?"
"They'll all turn into zombies and skeletons."
—
Overall, the players were scattered throughout the wild and dead land.
The originally huge number of players is a drop in the bucket compared to the billions of people on the planet.
If there weren't some beings in the player echelon who couldn't be defeated by the crowd tactics, the crowd alone would be able to fill up the player's side.
"Quick, stop it." At this time, a girl cried and shouted.
In front of her was a zombie waving its arms, approaching the woman step by step.
The other party was also an Earthling who traveled through time together, but within just a few hours, he was eroded by negative energy and died in his sleep.
Immediately, the deceased was transformed by the negative energy into a zombie with atrophied muscles and a collapsed face. The yellow skin color and the stench automatically emitted, and a few clever people escaped in an instant.
"Come on quickly."
The woman's best friend shouted as she looked at the men in front of her who were all gearing up but taking no action.
"We have to look at the situation. Who knows what caused this? What if we turn into zombies when we touch it?" A man with strong muscles explained euphemistically.
Behind everyone are hundreds of other survivors.
The terrifying scenes in zombie movies that could be contagious upon contact have deeply affected everyone's judgment.
"What kind of men are you?" the woman's best friend cried.
Everyone was looking at the woman worriedly, as if she was going to lose her life soon, but there was nothing they could do to help her.
Suddenly, a long sword appeared at his waist, and he instantly killed the zombie with a headshot.
Then the woman who was wearing half-body armor to prevent the tragedy put away her sword and said to everyone: "Don't worry, everyone, we will re-organize order. These zombies are not contagious. We just need to work together to surround them and kill them. Now, let's go ahead." Wake up the unconscious person quickly."
Similar scenes were repeated throughout the wilderness.
The first wave of crisis is that those who do not wake up in time are slowly transformed into zombies by negative energy in their sleep, and even become skeletons if they are buried.
This is the horror of this dead place, it cannot be buried.
As for some areas with police and soldiers, although they are not as strong as the average player, after overcoming the infection, they are still more than enough to deal with one or two emerging zombies.
But at this moment, the monsters in the entire wild and dead land are also spying on this group of uninvited guests.
Slowly, after getting over the discomfort at the beginning of the time travel, they realized that the world they were traveling through was not the peaceful world they imagined, and people began to organize small teams to protect themselves.
In this doomsday-like atmosphere, many of Earth's upper classes have gradually realized that the "production resources" they originally relied on the most have been lost.
Unless you are a professional and technical person, you no longer have a name.
And as some large animals and even ferocious animals appeared, slowly these "Arthur players" who had been exposed to the game stood out on the spot.
"Everyone lines up one by one. Let's register our identities first."
One of the leading players shouted to everyone in line. The image of him and his companions easily besieging and killing a tiger that killed two people was instantly reflected in everyone's hearts.
Otherwise, if a tiger is allowed to roam around here, there will soon be corpses all over the place.
"Leader, that's it." The barbarian player said to his real-life superior.
At this time, the middle-aged man with a superior temperament nodded with satisfaction, "Xiao Qi, well done. When we go back, we will not forget your contribution."
"Hurry up and contact your former player partners, recruit them in the name of the organization, and ask them to obey the arrangements. After all, this is an emergency moment. Only by working together can we find a way out." The middle-aged man said clearly. Watertight.
But he was also glad in his heart. Fortunately, this young man whom he originally looked down on was a player of this game, and now he could rely on his "power" to control the situation.
Even relying on Xiao Qi's status as the captain in the game, several of his subordinates have returned to the team to follow his arrangements.
"Hey, don't push our brother. He just finished filming yesterday and is very tired."
Suddenly there was a burst of noise from the original queue.
Understanding that the noise could be transmitted instantly and cause a bigger mutiny, several people trotted over quickly.
"What's going on?" asked the barbarian named Xiao Qi.
Suddenly, a short woman protected a tall and handsome man behind her and told the whole story. At the same time, there were three or four other companions beside the woman.
The few of them directly surrounded the man and protected him tightly, while the handsome man remained silent.
Xiao Qi, who was under heavy pressure, seemed to recall unbearable memories, and suddenly cursed: "Line up according to discipline."
"I don't care who you were, whether you were a celebrity or a wealthy businessman, but I want to tell you one thing!"
"What you are in now is Arthur. Arthur has to rely on his own hands to earn his life. Don't think about relying on the glory of the past and thinking that you can live safely here."
"So please take back your airs and violate discipline. I can only ask you to leave and take back my protection."
The girl who had just spoken out to protect the idol behind her was about to retort, but when she thought of the terrifying appearance of the tiger that pounced over at the beginning, the courage she finally raised disappeared.
She lowered her head and responded: "Yes, we will comply."
The middle-aged leader standing behind Xiao Qi also changed his expression when he heard these words.
It was just his years of self-cultivation that allowed him to keep smiling as much as possible.
No wonder Xiao Qi suddenly exploded at this moment, because from the moment he traveled through time, he found that his body was no longer the sickly and frail scholar he once was, but had truly transformed into a strong warrior.
However, after all, players are not creatures separated from society. No matter how lonely they are, they all have their own relatives.
Relatives are also the relationship that most directly affects players.
The first reaction of these players' relatives who have not come into contact with Arthur is to trust the original organization instead of the players who have emerged. Naturally, they also advise the players to obey the orders of the organization that has no fighting ability.
Naturally, after the order was stabilized in the first few hours, the earth travelers in the entire wild and dead land silently formed a new manager, which was temporarily composed of players and the original earth management.
Even the original management did not hesitate to position themselves, and directly promised positions that countless people in previous lives might not be able to climb after accumulating for generations, allowing this force to temporarily stabilize.
Soon, these groups also began to come into contact with nearby groups. These earth travelers also slowly discovered something.
All people on earth have traveled to the same place.
The players also realized that this area was much larger than they originally expected.
"Get in line. Now we have to do a roll call. Don't run around. It's dangerous nearby. No one can protect you if something happens."
A middle-aged woman with a sharp face shouted. She has dealt with the grassroots a lot, so she naturally knows how to best scare these people.
Below her is a huge team of thousands of people. The empty space is filled with water, but it also makes it easier for players on the outside to patrol.
"What do you think Xiaoxu should do? It's all your fault for agreeing to let him travel in the first place." A middle-aged woman sighed, complaining about her husband beside her.
"At that time, he said that he wanted to confirm something. That kind of firm look was the first time in my life since I watched him grow up." The woman's husband also sighed, "You know that Xiaoxu has not been with us since he was a child. Whatever he wants, he is very considerate. He begged me like this before the exam, how could I say no?"
"Then you see, our area is based on the direction of the earth. Now Xiaoxu must be in the corresponding area of that magic city. I don't know what's going on. Will he be hungry?" The middle-aged woman was worried.
"Don't worry too much." The woman's husband gently pressed his wife's shoulders, "Have you not noticed that in this current situation, the young labor force is very popular. Once you have the opportunity to become one of those people, That's an opportunity."'
The middle-aged woman also had some reaction at this time, "Oh, I remember Xiaoxu seemed to have posted a message in the family group a month ago, as if he wanted us to enter this game."
Suddenly the man lost his temper and said, "Have you forgotten that we entered eight months ago? Don't you think your physical fitness is different now?"
"It's a pity that Zhao Xu doesn't like playing games and missed this opportunity to become a master."
As he said that, he looked back and saw that the weak old people had been eroded by the negative energy in the ground, and their faces turned pale, as if they could not survive at any time.
Suddenly, the middle-aged woman excitedly pulled her husband's sleeve.
"What's wrong?" The man didn't respond.
"Yes Yes-"
"Stop! Who is it?"
The mean woman who was counting people at this time scolded, but she immediately saw clearly that the man in front of her was wearing a cloak that shone with stars.
The other party is a player!
The mysterious man gently passed the other party and walked all the way to the two middle-aged couples. "Mom and Dad, come with me first. I will arrange for you to go to a safe place."
The man's voice was not loud, but it seemed a bit forgiving.
Immediately after noticing the mysterious man, the managers in charge of this area rushed over. Behind them were also two players.
"Mr. Mage, in accordance with emergency regulations and instructions, we are temporarily recruiting you to join the Arthur Player Guard Group. We hope you will obey the arrangement and work hard for the survival of mankind."
Trotting over, the man standing at the front gasped and conveyed to the mysterious man.
"Get out of the way." The mysterious man's voice was sharp, as if full of murderous intent.
