Seeing that Feng Bujue rushed towards the unknown object with confidence, Isaac and the others didn't have time to think, and followed.
A few seconds later, at the moment of contact with the group of pixels, Feng Bujue's body melted into light and disappeared; and the three people who followed him also experienced the same changes one after another.
[The current mission has been completed, the main mission has been updated]
At the same time as the scene in front of him changed, a system voice prompt sounded in Feng Bujue's ear.
He opened the taskbar and found that the main line of [Entering the "Eight Underwater Levels" in the Contra area] had been crossed out, and the follow-up task [Break through the "Eight Underwater Levels" and enter the deep breakthrough area] had been brushed out. .
"So that's how it is..." At this moment, Feng Bujue finally understood why the system allowed him to come to the "Eight Underwater Levels".
This level itself, like Pita, is a kind of "existence that should not exist"-a kind of paradox; if you want to get close to the core of Pita in this virtual dimension, you need to find such a space, which is Pita. The place that cannot be defended by the logical barriers of the tower; and only through here can the AI firewall be broken through.
"Huh? There really are 'Underwater Eight Passes'?" The bearded man stood still, then looked at the scene in front of him with a surprised expression and read.
"It looks quite similar..." Isaac also looked around and said in a deep voice.
"Well, anyway, there's a lot of water around." Lightning head also answered.
Indeed, this level as a whole is a water world. Feng didn't feel that where they were standing was a huge rock floating on the water; and there were many pumice rocks like this in front of them, the distance between them was different, but overall they were extending in the same direction and go.
"Okay, whether it is or not... In short, if you reach the bottom of this level, you will be one step closer to Pita." Feng Bujue didn't comment on whether this is the so-called "eight underwater levels", He simply indicated the next course of action.
The four of them exchanged a few words and started on the road again.
But... after walking for less than three minutes, they discovered that the difficulty of this "eight underwater levels" was unbelievably high.
If the six levels they experienced before were normal Contras, then this level in front of them is some kind of Shaking M game modified by fans.
The four people are greeted here... are soldiers of various types, amazing strength, and a large number; it is a constantly intertwined and changing firepower net; it is a hidden and deadly death trap; and... appearing from time to time, Regular enemies that are stronger than some previous small OSSs.
To be honest, even Feng Bujue was surprised by the difficulty. If it weren't for the help of three NCs, he could pass this level alone without being able to use his skills... I'm afraid he would have to use a certain razor.
...
"Huh... finally..."
Two full hours later, when he saw the end of the pumice rock, Lightning Head let out a sigh of relief, showing a relieved expression.
At this time, except for Feng Bujue, the other three were already bruised and disheveled.
As for Brother Jue... Although he looks fine on the outside, in fact, he is the one who suffers the most damage in the team; it can be said that the four of them can kill without anyone being killed, and a large part of them are dead. It was Feng Bujue's credit.
Along the way, Brother Jue has to trigger various traps and have the first round of confrontation with brand-new enemies. If he hadn't done a good job in reconnaissance and probing, he would have rushed to the disgusting level of this level... let the four of them It is enough to kill the team ten times.
"So... next..." Isaac asked when he came to the last piece of pumice, "We probably have to jump into that hole, right?"
The "hole" he mentioned is a monster similar to the monster at the bottom of the sixth level... an object like pixel UG; but this time the teleportation point is not the kind of object that can move, but a floating in mid-air The air mass; the diameter of this air mass is about three meters, no matter from which angle it will show exactly the same distorted image.
"There is no other choice." Feng Bujue replied, then stepped forward, ready to be the first to go in.
Unexpectedly, at this moment...
Click—
There was a sound of rock cracking suddenly, and at the same second, the pumice rock under the four people's feet trembled violently.
The other three were fine, they staggered a few steps and regained their footing, but the bearded man who was carrying the small steel cannon was unlucky... Due to the weight, the sudden tremor caused him to sit on the ground.
No one thought that the consequence of this fall would be...
Kaka Kaka—
Just before everyone recovered from the effect of the first shock, similar cracking sounds came one after another.
At the same time, all the pumice rocks within Feng Bujue's field of vision showed cracks, and broke into pieces of different sizes at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It's not over yet...
Simultaneously with the disintegration of the pumice rock, the surrounding seawater turned from blue to red in an instant, turning into magma.
It's too late, but it's fast.
Just when the expressions of Isaac and Lightning Head changed from panic to panic, and the moment they were about to yell, Feng Bujue had already reacted... He used the rock under his feet to exert force, one by one... The two of them stopped and threw it at the pixel air mass floating in mid-air.
When Isaac and Lightning Head screamed, their feet were already off the ground, they hit the air mass one after another, and then teleported as light.
However…
Two seconds later, when Feng Bujue rescued the two of them and turned his gaze to the bearded man who was farthest away from him, the lower body of the latter had already sunk in the magma and broken rocks; He had already lost his foothold... Relying on his extraordinary body skills and zero-day calculations, he managed to jump back and forth on some unmelted broken rocks to keep himself from falling into the magma.
"What are you doing! Bastard!"
Just as Feng Bujue approached the bearded man in this "dragonfly" approach, he suddenly heard the latter's loud shout.
From the time we met until now, Big Beard has been calling Brother Jue "Savior" and "Mr. Feng", but at this moment, he excitedly called "Bastard".
"Let's go!" The bearded man didn't wait for Brother Jue to respond, he immediately said again, "Can't you see that I'm hopeless!"
Yes, anyone can see that he is hopeless...
While saying these two sentences, the bearded man had sunk into the magma below his chest, and his unsinkable head and arms were already burning in the fire.
I don't know if this is considered lucky... Due to the transformation into a dimension, the bearded man didn't feel any pain at the moment, so he can still speak.
Seeing such a scene, Feng Bujue could only sigh secretly, and hurriedly stepped towards a large piece of broken rock, and jumped towards the pixel air mass.
"Is there anything you want me to say?" When Jue Ge leaped in the air, he turned his head and shouted at the bearded man at a fast speed.
To be honest, Feng Bujue really wanted to rescue the other party, but this series of changes happened too fast, and his skill bar was locked, so if he stayed for a while, even he himself would be in danger... Therefore, he can only do this step.
"Let them not feel sorry for me..." the bearded man raised his head and shouted back with difficulty, "I just... went to reunite with my wife and daughter..."
Before he could finish his words, his head sank into the magma, leaving only his right arm stretched out straight on the magma.
At the very end, the moment Feng Bujue fell in front of the pixel air mass... He could clearly see the bearded right hand slowly clenching a fist and giving him a thumbs up.
...
Silence, oppressive silence.
After the teleportation, only three people remained in the original four-member team.
In fact, Isaac and Lightning Head had already guessed the fate of the bearded man before Jue Ge completed the teleportation, so when Feng Bujue appeared alone, they silently accepted this unfortunate fact.
This silence lasted about five minutes, and then, Isaac spoke...
"Let's go." When the words came out, he had recovered his stern look.
Hearing this, Lightning also wiped his face with his hands, took a deep breath, and stood up.
When the two of them were ready, they both looked at Feng Bujue, waiting for his next instruction.
Until this moment, Brother Jue really felt the strength of these two people, or... realized the cruelty of this script world.
Isaac and Lightninghead didn't ask Beard at all if he left any last words...
It's not that they don't care about the death of their comrades, it's just...they're used to turning the grief of losing someone into strength and fighting on.
War can teach people many things, and the first lesson it teaches is often "the fragility of life".
Isaac and the others are used to facing death, because they have lost too much.
Feng Bujue did not possess the will and temperament of veterans in them.
"Then..." After a while, Feng Bujue also spoke, "Let me take the lead..."
...
The three of them embarking on the journey again need to face the space defined by the system as the "deep breakthrough zone".
The situation here... can only be described as "crazy".
Image fragments from various games, flowing sound waves with entities, and countless pixel monster-like substances are running around here irregularly, devouring each other.
Fortunately, in this chaotic space, Juege and the others still have a very clear path forward; near their original teleportation point, there is a very conspicuous blue optical cable, extending all the way to the distance. Go, in addition, after entering this space, Feng Bujue's task has also been updated from [Break through the "eight underwater barriers" and enter the deep breakthrough zone] to [Follow the blue light, find and enter the "core"].
"There is something I want you to know." After walking for a while, Isaac suddenly said, "It's about the bearded man..."
"What's the matter?" Lightning Head answered.
"That was... about a month ago." Isaac said slowly, "He told me that he had been diagnosed with a brain tumor." After finishing the sentence, he paused, and then said, "And he I also know... With the technical conditions of our rebel army, this disease cannot be cured."
"'Based on the technical conditions of the Rebel Army'..." Feng Bujue quickly caught the key information in this sentence, and repeated it in a deep voice.
"Yes..." Isaac said, "If you use the nano-robot technology on Peta's side, you can completely cure this disease; but... on our side, this is an incurable disease."
"Then how did you tell him?" Feng Bujue asked.
"I didn't say anything," Isaac replied, "because he didn't come to ask me for advice, he just wanted someone to talk to who could keep a secret."
"That is to say..." Feng Bujue said, "At that time, he was already ready to die?"
"It should be said that he has no choice." Lightning head continued, "Even if he wants to betray the rebels and go to Pita for treatment, there is a high probability that he will be transformed into M..."
"However..." Isaac said, "As Big Beard himself said, rather than being transformed into M, or betraying his comrades...he would rather commit suicide." He paused for another two seconds, controlling his emotions, "Although he never I haven’t mentioned it to anyone, but I’ve always known that he loves games; indeed, Big Beard’s initial motive for joining the Rebel Army was revenge, but later on... when he really came into contact with video games and those who were beaten by Pita After leaving the game culture, his thinking changed; he was not just fighting for revenge, he also decided that... returning games to human beings is a noble cause, and it is worth sacrificing for it.”
"That's why you selected him into the team in this 'suicide operation'." Feng Bujue continued, "You understand...he would rather die on the battlefield than in a hospital bed."
"Heh..." Isaac didn't answer Brother Jue's question, but just smiled wryly and asked, "Do you believe in heaven? Mr. Feng."
"I... 'surely' there is a heaven." Feng Bujue replied with great confidence.
"Is that so..." Isaac replied sadly, "So... Big Beard is now reunited with his family in heaven."
"I hope." This question, Feng Bujue's answer is not so sure, after all, he has never been to heaven, and he doesn't know what's going on there; besides...he is basically sure that he will go to hell after death Yes, so he probably won't have much chance to confirm this in the future.
After the three talked about this rather heavy topic for a while, they fell into silence again.
However, their speed of travel has been accelerated a lot because of this...
The matter in this "deep breakthrough zone" has no logic at all, so it will not produce any targeted "hostility". Enron forward.
So, after about thirty minutes, they came to the end of the blue light path... (.)
