...... Zero City?

Yang Yi was completely stunned, only to feel that his whole body began to become numb from shock and excitement.

In the days after Yang Yi escaped from Zero City, he did get the news that a small number of people in Zero City finally managed to escape, but no one knew their last traces.

Even in these long days, Yang Yi and Tina have begun to go from anticipation and searching, to doubt and confusion, and finally even ...... Just stop thinking about it.

But now, in this completely unexpected situation, I heard this name engraved in my bones again!

Yang Yi looked at the sentry mecha in the air through the misty mist in the air. The paint on those mechs is indeed from Zero City!

To be more precise, it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire!

And these sentry mechs are also the top version equipped with all the special components and additional weapons, and they are by no means something that teams outside of Zero City can get their hands on at will!

His heart began to beat wildly.

A figure swooped down from the sky, a flash of green light, and the hammerhead shark-man who had just emerged from the explosion had been cut in two and fell to the ground like a stake.

Ionic Concussion Sword!

Yang Yi believed that his eyes would never be mistaken, it was the melee energy weapon that the Floating Angel had brought with him.

And the figure that flashed just now had stopped at this moment and stood still.

On her bumpy figure, it is indeed floating armor that shines with silver-white brilliance!

"You ......"

Yang Yi opened his mouth wide and wanted to speak, but suddenly found that he had been choked and couldn't utter a complete syllable.

Those sentry mechs and the floating angel didn't seem to care about Yang Yi's existence at all, but there was no sign of attacking him, they just aimed at all the fishmen on the ground, constantly pouring firepower.

— and far more firepower than necessary.

Even a lone fish-man would be swept into charcoal by at least dozens of beams of light, or torn to pieces of minced flesh by hundreds of cannons.

Neither the frost bolts they fired, nor the weapons they fired in hand-to-hand combat, nor the blades they wielded with their fins, were completely unable to penetrate the energy shields of these sentry mechs.

In just two minutes, there was no longer a single fish-man in this shantytown that still had a complete body, and there was not a single house still intact.

But these sentinel mechs and floating angels who claimed to be from Zero City never fired at Yang Yi from beginning to end.

It wasn't until everything was cleaned up that Yang Yi saw the floating angel slowly walk in front of the Water Mist Sea Tree, take out the high-particle radioactive source injection device, and press it on the trunk of the Water Mist Sea Tree.

A thick needle protrudes from the tip and pierces the trunk of the tree. The mechanism automatically activated, and the purple liquid was pushed and injected into it.

The tall mist sea tree immediately began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the branches that had been spraying white mist also stopped moving and drooped limply.

"Point 3 solved. The floating angel turned his head, whispered, and gestured to the sentinel mechs, "Next coordinates." ”

"Wait!"

Seeing that they were about to leave, Yang Yi finally woke up from the extreme shock just now, and let out a heart-rending shout: "You guys...... Are you really from Zero City?"

The floating angel glanced at Yang Yi and said coldly, "Visitor applications are not accepted in this copy today. We will issue a unified notice after the copy is over. ”

"Are you...... The people of the Angel Legion, and you ......" Yang Yi took two steps forward, his eyes turned to the sentry mecha behind the floating angel: "You are...... Knife...... Knife ......"

"We are a mountain of swords and a sea of fire. It seems that you are familiar with Zero City?"

Yang Yi looked at him quietly, slowly raised his hand, took off the helmet of the exoskeleton armor, and let go of his hand, letting it roll to the ground.

The next moment, all the Sentinel Mechs let out an exclamation in unison.

The door of the sentry mecha at the front bounced open, and a figure jumped out and rushed towards Yang Yi.

It's Guanshan!

"Guanshan...... And so you did...... It's alive!"

Yang Yi looked at the familiar face in front of him, and his mind seemed to return to the day of the fall of Zero City, fighting to the death side by side with each other.

"Yes, a lot of people died, but we are still alive. ”

Guan Shan hugged Yang Yi's shoulders hard, and he almost couldn't hold back his tears.

"So, what you just said ......" Yang Yi's voice was still trembling uncontrollably: "Zero City, is it really rebuilt?"

"Of course it's true. Brother, of course...... Really!"

Yang Yi nodded, suddenly broke free of Switch Mountain's hand, took two steps back, straightened his chest, and saluted a solemn military salute with all his strength.

"Report! Yang Yi, the captain of the Thundering Squad of the Sword Mountain Fire Sea, return to the team!"

......

"That's ...... It's over?"

When the countdown to the completion of the dungeon began to sound, Yang Yi could barely believe his ears.

After returning to the team, he followed Guan Shan's group and watched them clean up all the water mist and sea trees one by one as if they were devastated.

There were no casualties!

"For us, completing a copy is meant to be like this. Guan Shan stood beside him, looking at the last mist sea tree that had just been cleared in front of him, and the broken corpse of the fish-man clan in front of him: "It's just that we have sunk for too long, and we have forgotten the time when we stood at the top of the world of the Awakened." ”

"Yes...... Yang Yi sighed softly: "It's really been too long." ”

Although he is a veteran, Yang Yi, who strengthens the direction of science and technology, relies more on various equipment in battle. And after leaving the sea of swords and fire, and leaving the endless supply of the Zero City system, his strength was inevitably greatly weakened.

"Don't worry. From now on, it's all over. Guan Shan gently patted Yang Yi's shoulder: "We didn't enter the copy together, so when the copy ended, we couldn't leave from the same coordinates." But that's okay, when you're gone, use it to get back to City Zero. ”

Yang Yi looked down at the card Guan Shan gave him in his palm, and nodded: "Now...... What is the state of City Zero?"

Guan Shan smiled: "Do you remember Chen Xiaolian?"

"The ...... who helped us win the bloodline" Of course, Yang Yi will not forget this boy who replaced Mr. Blue Ocean and saved the entire Sword Mountain and Fire Sea from being cleared out of the resident team. What's more, on the day of the fall of Zero City, they also fought side by side.

"It's him...... Rebuilt City Zero. I'll talk about the details when you come back. Guan Shan smiled. The countdown is almost over, and even if it is to be explained, it is too late now. It's better to wait for Yang Yi to return to Zero City and officially return to the team, and then let him see the current Zero City with his own eyes.

Yang Yi nodded, the light curtain fell, and when it was refreshed again, Guan Shan and the others had already disappeared in front of him.

Rio de Janeiro, which had been destroyed and reduced to rubble, reappeared, with buildings and vehicles and pedestrians still on the streets.

He and Tina glanced at each other, crumpling the card in their palms.

"Let's go, let's go home. ”

......

"The copy was completed smoothly without any casualties. ”

In the main control hall of Zero City, Adric stood in front of Chen Xiaolian and was reporting to him: "In addition, we also happened to find two former members of the Zero City resident team and let them return to the team. ”

"Good. Chen Xiaolian nodded with satisfaction: "How are the other participants?"

"There are a total of thirty-two awakened people who have come into direct contact. As you mean, no one other than the two former resident team members were given access. But the message that the 1st of next month will be the Open Day of City Zero has been passed through them. ”

"Hmm. Chen Xiaolian was not too dissatisfied with this number.

There aren't too many participants in a copy. The point is that these thirty-two people will definitely spread it out immediately after learning the news of the reconstruction of Zero City. Soon, this explosive news will resound throughout the world of the Awoken.

At next month's Zero City Open Day, even according to the lowest estimates, the number of awakened people who plan to come in and take a look will not be less than five hundred.

And after the first open house, this number will grow exponentially.

"But...... Now there's a problem. Adric hesitated: "We don't have enough people right now. ”

"Not enough manpower?" Chen Xiaolian frowned and puzzled: "Now you have hundreds of people on hand, what are you missing?"

Now all the control systems and production systems of Zero City have been taken over by GM. Strictly speaking, there is no need for any logisticians.

Although the remnants of Zero City led by Adric are only a few hundred, they are only a fraction of the number of people in Zero City. But if it is only used as a combatant, it is sufficient.

"If you only think of Zero City as a base, that's enough. But as a city...... It's not enough. Adric shook his head: "Although the necessary functions are already functioning, facilities such as hotels and restaurants require a lot of manpower to maintain. Without these things, it is impossible for us to give the other Awakened enough confidence that City Zero has indeed been fully revived. So...... We may need to recruit new members from among the other Awoken, as well as expand the number of outlying teams. ”

"That's right. Being reminded by Adric, Chen Xiaolian also reacted.

Without these facilities, City Zero would have been able to be described as a large base rather than a living "city".

And to accommodate a large number of peripheral team members like the previous Zero City, and to receive thousands of awakened people in a fixed open day, the current number of core members is indeed far from enough.

"What was your original new recruitment pattern?" Chen Xiaolian thought for a moment and asked.

"Every team has different rules. Adric said: "Like our Dark Knights, we accept anyone to sign up, as long as they can pass the team's assessment, they can join." As for the Rhodelia regiment, only the targets they actively want to absorb will be invited. There is also the Sword Mountain and the Sea of Fire, they seem to only allow people who have served in the Celestial Empire army before being called the Awakened to join, but there is no hard limit in terms of strength. ”

"Then do it yourself. Chen Xiaolian pondered for a moment: "This is your internal affairs, and I will not interfere." ”

Chen Xiaolian's generous attitude made Adric stunned.

The current New Zero City was established by Chen Xiaolian. Letting their original resident team in was already incredible to Adric. And now, he is actually tantamount to handing over all the access authority to himself.

"Nothing surprising. Chen Xiaolian saw Adric's expression and smiled: "I said that you and I are partners." ”

"Thank you. Adric thought about it, and also felt that Chen Xiaolian's current strength was no longer enough to worry about anything like being set aside, so he simply thanked him.

"Alright, if nothing else, so be it. Chen Xiaolian waved at Adric.

"By the way, I have one more question. Adric had already turned to leave, and suddenly turned his head again: "What are you going to do when that day comes when all the Awakened have been integrated?"

"I'll let you know when that day comes. Chen Xiaolian blinked.
