"I'm Shamash, the deacon of Team Starfall in Europe. ”

Shamash dialed the communicator, and just as he had said a word, a light suddenly lit up in the conference room.

The light was fleeting, and when it dissipated, Chen Xiaolian was already standing in the middle of the conference room with a smile.

"This is Guanshan. Please speak. Guan Shan's voice came from the other side.

Shamash, however, froze.

This...... That's a little too fast!

I haven't opened my mouth to tell Guan Shan that I want to see Chen Xiaolian!

"Hey, hey?"

Guan Shan fed twice on the other end in confusion, but Shamash didn't know how to respond.

"Hang up. ”

Chen waved his hand at Shamash, but his eyes did not look at him, but stared at Chen Xiaolian deadly, as if he was afraid that he would run away.

"Don't be as good as a dog seeing a bone. Chen Xiaolian looked at Chen with a smile: "Since I took the initiative to appear in front of you, I won't run." ”

"I do...... I didn't expect you to take the initiative to appear in front of me. I had put some thought into arranging it to let them pretend to be honest and trick you out. Chen nodded: "I have to say, your actions surprised me a little." ”

"Haven't I been surprising you?" Chen Xiaolian blinked.

"Like...... That's true. Chen smiled slightly: "Then, tell me, why do you take the initiative to send yourself to me when you know that I will look for you as soon as I come out." Of course, you can also choose not to talk so much nonsense and just hand over the singularity to me. ”

"Come, look, smell!" Chen Xiaolian shook his clothes: "I am up and down my body, can you find the singularity?"

Chen's gaze looked up and down Chen Xiaolian's body, and his gaze gradually cooled: "What about the singularity?"

Chen Xiaolian didn't answer him immediately, but his eyes swept around the conference room twice, and Chong Chen smiled: "You really plan to be in front of your subordinates...... No, is it the face of the old subordinates, discussing the singularity with me?"

Chen had an indifferent expression on his face, and said coldly: "If you think it's inappropriate, I can kill them all at any time." ”

"I didn't mean that. Chen Xiaolian hurriedly shook his head: "Besides, there is a little brother I took here." ”

After he finished speaking, he walked in front of the nightmare, stretched out his hand and touched his head: "My teammate should have given you a blood control pill before." But...... It's almost time to eat the next one, right?"

Nightmare has never left Chen Xiaolian's body since he appeared, and it was only because Chen was here that he didn't dare to speak. Seeing Chen Xiaolian walking in front of him, he nodded desperately like a dog whose head was touched by his master.

After the previous time, although he had never seen Chen Xiaolian again, because of the cooperative relationship between the Starfall team in Asia and the Meteorite team, when half a year was about to expire, the tire once gave him an antidote.

But since then, he hasn't dealt with the Meteorite Sentai again.

In the past few days, the nightmare has not been very easy, and I have been calculating in my heart every day how long it will be before I don't take the antidote again, and I will die of poison.

"Although it should be a month or two, ...... I'll give it to you first. Chen Xiaolian twisted a small dark red ball with two fingers and put it on the table in front of Nightmare: "Since you have become the head of the Asian region as you wish, you will have to be more obedient in the future." ”

After speaking, he also stretched out his hand and rubbed it on Nightmare's head, before he straightened up and looked at Chen, who was already a little impatient: "Let's go." ”

"Where?"

"Go for a copy. ”

"Copy?" Chen looked at Chen Xiaolian's gaze and became more and more puzzled: "You took the initiative to come to me to ...... Come with me into a dungeon? What dungeon?"

"It's not about doing tasks. Just a copy, the more convenient and fast the better. Chen Xiaolian laughed: "It's just that there are some things that are not convenient to talk about here." ”

He stretched out a finger and pointed to the sky: "There are some things that can't be heard by those guys. It stands to reason that City Zero is the most suitable place, but ...... To put it bluntly, I don't dare let you in. Who knows if you're going to suddenly turn around and snatch the singularity? ”

"Zero City, singularity?" Chen glanced at Chen Xiaolian deeply and snorted softly.

Only then did he understand that Chen Xiaolian did not carry the singularity on his body because he used it as the foundation for the construction of New Zero City.

"Well, I won't reveal anything more to you until I get into a dungeon. Chen Xiaolian said to Chen seriously: "Six hours later, in the ...... Well, Athens, Greece, there is a copy that will be opened. This is the most recent one, and we'll see you then. ”

After speaking, the light curtain flashed, and Chen Xiaolian disappeared in place again.

Chen silently looked at Chen Xiaolian's disappearing light, turned his head, and swept his gaze over the seven people in the conference room in turn.

Everyone was silent and didn't know what to do.

Captain Chen has just ...... But he said so clearly that he could kill all seven of them at any time if necessary!

It seems that he did not mind his rebellion.

But that's just because he doesn't care anymore. And he still has a place to use his own people.

But now......

We don't seem to be using it anymore!

Everyone was motionless, not even daring to come out, like a frog in a cage that was being targeted by a snake.

"Forget it. Chen looked at them for a moment, then suddenly shook his head and sighed: "You guys, do whatever you like." ”

After speaking, he actually pushed the door open, and Shi Shiran walked out of the conference room.

The door was shut, and the footsteps faded away.

It was only then that everyone began to gasp for air in a frenzied gulp.

It was just true...... I'm almost going to be killed!

......

Unlike most cities, the center of Athens is a small hill. On top of the hill lies the most famous monument in all of Europe, the Acropolis.

Built in the 5th century BC, the Acropolis was originally a large complex, but over time it has become dilapidated, leaving only a small part of the temple of Athena.

Chen Xiaolian was sitting alone at a coffee table at the moment, holding a cup of fragrant coffee and sipping it.

It's a café and it's decorated with unpainted natural logs. Because the door is not large, a few tables were set up outside and surrounded by potted flowers. Although it is the edge of the city, you can still see the hill and the temple in the distance.

As a curtain of light fell, Chen Xiaolian also received a prompt in his personal system.

[You have entered——]

Before the display was finished, Chen Xiaolian casually turned off the prompt information.

The content of this copy has nothing to do with his half a dime. Anyway, I didn't come to complete the task, so I didn't bother to look at it.

What was spinning in his mind was the next words.

Although Chen Xiaolian didn't know how many times he had practiced since everything was arranged, just before the showdown with Chen, he was still a little nervous for no reason, and he always wanted to do it a few more times.

The wording and tone of each sentence must be as persuasive as possible.

The flow of people around is still moving, and there is nothing unusual about the shops. It seems that the plot in this copy does not seem to affect the lives of ordinary people.

Halfway through a cup of coffee, Chen Xiaolian saw Chen turning around from the corner from a distance.

"You won't suddenly appear at the coffee shop on the corner. I'll have a smile on my face, wave hello, and sit down with you to chat. ”

Seeing Chen walk in front of him and sit down, for no reason, a lyric suddenly popped up in Chen Xiaolian's mind.

Chen Xiaolian hurriedly waved his hand to drive this strange and ridiculous distraction out of his heart, and nodded with a smile at Chen: "Long time no see." ”

"For me, it didn't last that long. Chen didn't have much expression on his face: "What a great thing, do you have to say it in the dungeon?"

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. Chen Xiaolian smiled: "Although even if it is in the copy, it may not be much safer, but it is better than the outside after a layer." ”

"You can say it now. Chen's eyes looked up and down Chen Xiaolian's body: "Give you half an hour." ”

"I'll give it to you...... An alternative solution is provided. Chen Xiaolian took a deep breath, and the lines that had already been in his mind countless times jumped out fluently: "As you already know, I rebuilt Zero City.

Although I'm certainly not as strong as the six of you combined, and the current GM has been adjusted to a very low level by the development team after going through so many refreshes, we still recreated a new Zero City.

It's certainly not as vast as the thirty-three days you've built before, but at least ...... It's enough to hold all the Awoken.

When you led the player to capture City Zero, some of them escaped under Adric's leadership. I found them and brought them back to New Zero City as the core team. Now, more than four months have passed, and a large number of Awakened have become their peripheral team.

Just take a little more time, and ...... With your help, I can bring all the Awakened together—"

Chen suddenly interrupted Chen Xiaolian's words, "Are you planning to replicate what we did before and use Zero City as a refuge?"

"I knew you knew you could see it out. Chen Xiaolian smiled: "But it's not just the shelter of a few of us, but the shelter of all the awakened! You have experienced so many refreshes, you should know very well that the time node of the next refresh is approaching, and it may even come at any time." We've got to get all the Awoken under the banner of City Zero, and then dodge the spawn in it, just like the ark Noah built before the Flood!"

"Fang Zhou?" Chen sneered: "Have you dealt with those guys of the Knights too much, and even speaking has become their tone!"

"It's just an analogy. Chen Xiaolian shrugged: "So, what do you think of my proposal?"

"Save all the Awakened from being refreshed?" Chen squinted his eyes at Chen Xiaolian: "Chen Xiaolian, I didn't see that you were so great before. ”

"Didn't you originally plan to save everyone?" Chen Xiaolian pretended not to hear the sarcasm in Chen's words: "Greatness can't be talked about. Since I have this ability, and I don't have to pay anything, then if I can pull a handful, just pull a hand. At least my plan doesn't need to sacrifice all the loopholes. Since there is a better option to avoid sacrificing Du Wei and them, I don't think you have any reason to object. ”

Chen thought for a moment: "So...... You've already told everyone what you're going to do?"

"Not yet. I didn't talk to anyone other than my team-mates, including Adric. Chen Xiaolian shook his head slowly: "There is no Awakened One who knows that the world will be refreshed by the development team on a regular basis, and I will announce it when I have integrated all the Awakened Ones." ”

"Really? Have you ever thought about it...... How would these Awakened react when they found out what you had done for them?" Tatsumi said coldly, "You think they will thank you?"

"I know most likely not. In fact, I don't need their thanks. Chen Xiaolian shook his head: "I have hardly ever come forward, most of the time, the affairs of dealing with other awakened people are done by Adric and those members of the former Zero City resident team. I don't want to get mixed up so much-"

"You're wrong!"

Chen Xiaolian hadn't finished speaking, but was suddenly and unceremoniously interrupted by Chen: "Chen Xiaolian, your naivety surprised me. ”

"What do you say?" Chen Xiaolian's expression didn't look flustered.

"Not only will they not thank you, they will even hate you. Chen said coldly: "When you gather all the awakened and announce the refresh, do you think they will be willing to accept your plan?"

"Why not?"

"The Awoken are not players. They are all people of this world, and they are all ordinary people who have their own lives before becoming awakened. Tatsumi had a playful smile on his face: "Parents, wife and children, and even friends...... Do you think everyone is alone, alone?

If only you could create a world as vast as thirty-three days as we did before. With just a zero city, such a large space, can you fit all the people in this world?

You can't do it!

So, what do you think of them when you announce it?

They won't take it!

Following you into New Zero City and avoiding the refresh means abandoning all your relatives and friends outside, leaving you alone to survive!

How many people are there...... Willing to get on this boat of yours?

Even if they rebel after entering City Zero because of lack of space and want to bring their relatives and friends, what are you going to do?"

"You may ...... Misunderstanding. Chen Xiaolian suddenly laughed: "I have no obligation to be responsible for everyone, let alone such a high consciousness!"

I built New City Zero just for myself and my teammates!As for the other Awakened Ones, I said that I don't have to pay anything anyway, and those who can pull a hand, just pull a hand.

But that ticket is a gift from me! a benefit from me!

In the world, there are still white-collar workers who have given giveaways, and they are still unconvinced, unhappy and dissatisfied?

I admit that there are indeed such people as you are talking about, but why does Lao Tzu have to bother to please them and satisfy everyone?"

Chen Xiaolian sneered and continued: "Most of the people in my team are alone. Although there are also family members among them, Zero City is so big, and there will be no problem in bringing in a few more.

As for the others, I don't care so much. If you want to enter, you can enter, if you don't want to enter, you will die for me!

As for the rebellion, a group of white prostitutes, let them come in and hide, it is their creation, if someone dares to think crookedly, do you think...... Am I afraid to kill?"

"Yes? Then I'm wrong about you. Tatsumi smiled faintly.

Chen Xiaolian looked at Chen seriously, and his tone was sincere: "The most important reason why you decided to take away the singularity before is because Zero City is in a dilapidated state, and it can't survive the next refresh." In the final analysis, it is because it has just been built, and it has undergone a refresh from the inside out, and it has become incomplete.

But now I've rebuilt New Zero City, and while it's still the same size, it's no longer affected by spawns.

According to your plan, you will need to sacrifice all the buggers, including Dewey...... And according to my plan, no one needs to die. ”
