Chapter 163: The Investigation Begins (Part I)
"What?" Lin Xiu was stunned for a moment, he did know that there was a lot of price to be paid for conducting research, but he didn't expect that Dr. Tao Fanbo himself would pay far more than that
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that you can't use your abilities, you are originally humans, and you will get used to it after living for a long time, if you suddenly have some special abilities, you won't be used to it," Tao Fanbo said with a smile
He looked very optimistic, and was not discouraged by the inability to use heraldic abilities
"Dr. Tao, you are still a respectable person," Lin Xiu said solemnly
"Alright, let's get down to business, you're here for the resource competition, right?" Dr. Tao said with a slight smile
"Exactly!" Lin Xiu and Tiance nodded
"I happen to be one of the judges of this competition, and I thought, how about changing this resource assessment to deal with this crisis?" Dr. Tao pushed his glasses
Lin Xiu's Heavenly Ce glanced at each other and nodded, as long as it could help the city, albeit in this way.
"Okay, since you can agree, I hope that when I get to the assembly center, I can help me convince the others together," Dr. Tao nodded slightly at the two of them
The place of the incident is not far from the purpose of the trio, about a three-hour drive
Without hesitation, I went straight to the center of this rally
"You're here!" Xinghui had been waiting for the two of them at the gate of the station for a long time, but looked at Dr. Tao a little stunned, in his impression, there seemed to be no such number one person.
"Dr. Tao, this is the Xinghui of the Red Star Pavilion, this is Tao Fanbo, Dr. Tao" Tiance introduced between the two
"Tao Fanbo, could it be that Dr. Tao Fanbo?" Xinghui also thought for a while when he heard the name Tao Fanbo, but because this name was really famous, he quickly reacted
Although the name is very famous, Dr. Tao rarely appears in the public eye, and it is very normal for people to have different names
"Hello, this generation of Xinghui!" Tao Fanbo smiled and shook Xinghui's hand
Xinghui led the three of them towards the assembly center, and on the way, Tiance spoke
"This assessment..."
"Well, I already know, now the center is discussing, just waiting for you to come!" Starlight's expression changed slightly, but he still calmed down
The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but speed up their pace
This time there were a lot more people than before, including a lot of people who could be named
"Sit down," a man wearing a military hat and a scar on his face motioned for Tiance and Dr. Tao to take their seats as soon as possible
Because Lin Xiu was a contestant, he could only go to other rooms to wait
The meeting lasted more than an hour
Under the leadership of the scar man, everyone came out
"This time, originally this time the resource competition was set in the form of a ring competition, but, as you must know, just now, there was an accident in our outer city, Zixin City," the scar man cleared his throat and said to the many young people waiting outside
"After discussion, we finally decided to rectify the rules of the game, and the goal of the mission is to investigate the real cause of this accident and the rescue of the city, due to the urgency of the mission, please do not delay and act immediately!" the man said in an unquestioning tone
"The game is limited to three days, and it's forbidden for players to attack each other, so remember, trust your teammates!" Tao Fanbo added after Scar Man finished speaking.
"Yes!" Most of the people who came early saw this scene during the train run, and they naturally did not sit idly by as soldiers, and such a regulation made everyone more cohesive
Lin Xiu carefully looked at all the items that could be used in the storage of the bracelet, in addition to the necessary survival items, the weapon had horn ends, generals and ministers, but evil, among them, the material of the glazed white-tailed scorpion was also forged by Lin Xiu a lot, although it had not yet been formed, but it could barely be used as a stick
The time was urgent, and there was no time to delay, after associating the coordinate positioning of the bracelet with the information database of the center, Lin Xiu got on the plane and went to Zixin City
The view in the air is much wider than that on the train
"This?actually broke through the beast area?" Lin Xiu was a little surprised, this siege was definitely a premeditated siege
Zixin City is a two-star city, and the highest level of the surrounding spirit beasts has reached the Zhen level, and it is impossible for such a level to break through the defense of the beast area, unless someone weakens the defense from the inside
Because it is a two-star city, the warriors in it have limited abilities, and they basically have no power to resist against the spirit beasts that invade from outside, especially among the spirit beasts that have entered the city this time, there is a phantom-level existence
Phantom Beast Level, the fourth level of spirit beasts, has a fantastic bloodline beast
The bloodline is directly proportional to the strength, and the attack of a phantom-level spirit beast on a two-star city is simply no different from slaughter
Lin Xiu slowly descended, observing the footprints on the spirit beast's invasion route
"Sure enough" is just as guessed, as if it was being directed forward by some advanced intelligent being
The recording function on the bracelet records the walking path seen along the way and uploads it to the center
Did the demon cultists do it? Lin Xiu thought about it for a moment, I'm afraid things are not that simple
It can be seen on the fragments of the protective shield of the beast area, that is, it is spread outward, that is, it is after being broken by someone from the inside that the spirit beast can enter
I'm afraid this disaster has something to do with the caretakers!"
"Ding!"
Just as Lin Xiu was burying his body to pick up the fragments, an arrow sank into the tree in front of Lin Xiu
The Divine Fortune Sutra was opened to the extreme in one second, and the thunder light turned on, and he turned around and shot out a lightning flash, knocking down a large number of trees
"Who is it!" looked around vigilantly, if he happened to observe the debris, I was afraid that this time it would be solid
He opened his wings and flew forward, but he never noticed any movement
In the state of full operation, he didn't even hear the sound of breathing, and this enemy's ability was a little strong
"Something is wrong"
A thought flashed through Lin Xiu's head, and he quickly turned around and flew away
But it's still a step slow
All the debris that had spread outward was gone, and it was cleaned up
"TM"
Lin Xiu only felt anger surging in his heart, these levels were evidence, but now they had been taken away
Holding back the anger in his heart, he began to walk towards the city along the footsteps
Even on the edge of the city, you can see people falling every few steps
The scene was shocking
Most of them were trampled to death or bitten to death by spirit animals
Although Lin Xiu was not afraid of killing, such a bloody picture still made him unbearable, and his stomach was a little uncomfortable
