Act 1: Broken Heart Episode 3: The Destruction of the Frost Node
Ressa came to the Explorer Alliance again, and the explorers and golden fingers in the corner of the hall did not decrease but increased, too, such a shady deed, under the cover of night, it would be more convenient to act!
The greed of human nature is vividly manifested in them, and everyone who walks to the trading desk will attract their attention, and in the age of heavenly beasts, they do not have the courage to fight for wealth with blood and life, so they cower in the corner and point the finger at other explorers.
Sure enough, no matter what the world becomes, human nature will not change.
It's just that they also underestimate those who can come back alive from the wilderness.
People who can come back alive in the wilderness are not something they can knead at will.
Resa didn't pay attention to these people, how could these cowards who would only hide under shelter know what explorers who really dared to struggle to survive in the wilderness had to face?
The flowers in the greenhouse cannot be compared to the cactus that grows tenaciously in the desert.
Coming to the service desk again, Ressa paused slightly, and then walked to the position where she had been before, but the reception staff had been replaced by another beautiful young lady.
Although this young lady is not as petite and lovely as Yan Xin, her brown skin also exudes a wild beauty.
It's just that a hint of disappointment flashed in Ressa's eyes, and the girl's clear eyes appeared in his mind, it was a special feeling, very healing.
"Hello, Explorer, is there anything I can do to help you?" The young lady smiled very brightly, and the wildness revealed in the smile made people fall into the fire-like enthusiasm if they were not careful. At the same time as seeing her, Ressa's heart became inexplicably restless.
She was wearing a loose knitted shirt, but she still couldn't stop the waves, even if she hadn't talked yet, she could feel her hotness and enthusiasm. Such a young lady is something that every man who likes to conquer cannot refuse.
"Exchange for two Purple Snake Fruits!" Resa took a deep breath and suppressed the restlessness in her heart. He handed over the Aquamarine card.
At this time, it was already nightfall, and the hall of the entire Explorer Alliance was a little deserted, and the guardians who were resting were also gathered at a table in twos and threes, drinking and playing cards. And those who stand guard, some are yawning incessantly, and some are constantly sweeping the clock in the corner, waiting for the shift change.
While work within nodes is generally settled in Old World Alliance Currencies, Guardians are subsidized by Exploration Points in the Explorer Alliance every month.
Exploration value can be exchanged for old currency, and generally 1 point of exploration value is equal to 100 old currency's purchasing power
However, the old currency cannot be exchanged for exploration value, and the exchange items in the Explorer Alliance cannot be exchanged for the equivalent value of the old currency, and the existence of the old currency is only more convenient for the general population.
Of course, there are no absolutes, there are still options for exchanging old currencies for exploration value in some underground black markets, but often the exchange demand for old currencies will far exceed the normal exchange ratio, and it is possible that you need 500 old currencies to exchange for 1 exploration value.
The Exploration Value in the Guardian's hands is not as rich as in the Explorer's hands, but it is enough for them to live well in the node.
If you don't have the ability to fight in the wilderness, it's a good way for an explorer to choose to become a guardian, but basically no explorer does that.
Because the exploration value in their hands is enough for them to live the rest of their lives.
Also, most explorers look down on Guardians, believing them to be people who are incapable but have no determination to survive in the face of fear and hardship.
………
"Humans are really easy animals!" Resa looked at the guardians around her and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
This kind of lazy and lazy appearance is really the most elite existence in the node? To be honest, from the bottom of my heart, Resa is also not interested in the Guardians.
On the other side, seeing that Ressa had finished speaking, he stood quietly and looked around. The young lady is also very capable, and she quickly taps on the spar screen a few times, and her fingers fly, giving people a dazzling feeling, but Ressa, who has diverted her attention, does not see this.
A few seconds later, a translucent storage box stopped beside Ressa, and two purple snake fruits lay silently inside.
"Lord Explorer, the two Purple Snake Fruits cost you a total of 500 exploration points, and you still have 1400 exploration points left, this is your blue crystal card, please keep it." The young lady smiled and handed the azumine card to Ressa, and her voice was deliberately low.
"Okay, thanks." Resa came back to her senses, put away the blue crystal card and purple snake fruit, and asked casually, "What about the girl named Xuan Xin here?" ”
"Xuan Xin? You said Xiao Mi, she has already gotten off work, this time, she should be shopping accompanied by the guardian. The young lady said with some uncertainty.
"Shopping!" Ressa nodded and asked with some curiosity, "By the way, why do you call her Xiaomi?" ”
The young lady smiled: "Xuan Xin was cultivated through cat genetic modification potions, speaking of which, it should be regarded as a first-order human beast!" It's just ............" The young lady looked at me and smiled mysteriously, leaning forward to lean over, due to the angle problem, making the knitted shirt that originally looked very loose look very tight.
"Humans and beasts bred by special genes like ours are no different from humans, and what humans can do, we can all do, because they are based on human genes, so we also have the ability to reproduce."
As she spoke, the young lady showed a sly smile in her heart, such a handsome and capable explorer is rarely seen, and the transaction records he saw just now showed that he had just exchanged the 4th order earth beast crystal nucleus, and in the previous exchange records, they were basically some big guys, very powerful explorers.
"That's it! That's really ...... Uh, that's amazing! Resa laughed dryly, took a step back in a little panic, and blushed slightly: "Thank you, I'll go first." ”
Looking at Ressa's back as she gradually moved away, the young lady squinted her eyes and laughed: "What an interesting guy, with such strength at such a young age, it's really not comparable to those wastes!" If he could buy it............ It should be pretty good. The young lady looked at the explorers who were huddled in the corner of the hall, and her eyes were visibly full of disdain.
Ressa quickly walked out of the Explorer Alliance, looked at the blue crystal card in his hand, the time shown on it was very late, this back and forth, the time was close to midnight, to avoid extraneous branches, it was better to go home quickly, thinking of this, Resa no longer paid attention to the tail that followed behind, and directly activated the stealth function on the cloak.
However, just as he entered the invisible state, a huge roar accompanied by violent vibrations came from a distance, and it actually shook him out of the invisible state.
Without giving people much time to react, the black canopy in the sky instantly lit up, different from the light of simulated daytime.
A blinding blood-colored light enveloped the entire node, violent vibrations continued to come from afar, and sirens continued to sound from the sky:
"Alert: The walls of the space are damaged, and the defense protection function has failed.
"Alert: A large number of Celestial Beasts have been found to show signs of activity, please go to the Jumping Area and prepare to evacuate."
"Alert: The beast tide is starting to enter the node, please send nearby guardians to the C-Z29 area immediately to support and cover the evacuation of survivors."
At this moment, the frost node was completely chaotic.
After experiencing the 2,246 Heavenly Beast Calamity, humans hid in the space node.
The disaster seems to be just around the corner, but under the protection of the space barrier, human beings have always been safe, and as time goes by, human beings have forgotten the original blood and tears.
It's just that they never thought that the spatial barrier would be broken, and they never thought that they would fall into deep despair again.
In the distance in the C-Z29 area, the sound of gunfire and earth-shattering roars continued to be heard from afar, and the surrounding noise was also endless. The crowd went into a frenzy. Nothing is more important than living.
Even the tail that followed Ressa couldn't care about the wealth in front of him! They all turned around and ran in the direction of the Explorer Alliance. There are large fold hops that connect to other nodes.
Everything seems to be a copy of 5 years ago, only this time, Ressa is not hiding at home and listening to the gunfire outside, but he needs to struggle to survive, Ressa's current speed is very weird, obviously there is no place to stay in the crowd, but he can always find a slight gap to pass through, the people around him just feel a gust of wind blowing, when you look carefully, you don't find anything at all.
Ressa is now worried about Debecca's safety, because the C-Z29 area is close to her home, and the more gunfire you hear, the more serious the situation is. He didn't know if his home had been affected by the shock wave formed by the broken barrier, he only knew that his sister was still at home, that was his only relative, no matter how dangerous it was, he had to rush back to protect his sister.
As he ran, the crowd gradually thinned out, and occasionally, he would encounter some wounded explorers or guardians lying on the ground wailing, some of them had lost their mobility, and could only lie on the ground waiting for the help of the well-wishers or wait for death. Some are still struggling to crawl forward, trying to get out of this hell.
The streets are chaotic, with some homeless people looting supplies in an attempt to make a fortune when the disaster comes. However, in the end, they were greeted only by death.
For a time, the cries, wails, and cries for help were woven into a symphony of the last days.
"Woo ~~~~~" a white light slashed towards the throat of the galloping Ressa, and in response to it, it was a bright electric light, after several cokes fell to the ground, these guys also realized that this young looking boy was not easy to mess with, and they went to find other targets, without the harassment of others, Ressa's speed was a little faster. But just after he turned two street corners, what caught his eye was real hell.
The smell of blood seems to have formed a substantial red mist, on both sides of the street, broken bodies are everywhere, and it can be seen through the costumes that most of the dead here are ordinary people living in the nodes, a few should be guardians patrolling nearby, and there are a very small number of corpses of heavenly beasts and earth beasts.
The ground has been soaked in blood and dark red, and there is a slippery and sticky feeling when stepping on it, and there are a few wandering humans and beasts on both sides of the street, and there are also some people and beasts that are gnawing on the corpses on the ground.
Ressa frowned, his steps only slowed slightly, and then returned to his original speed, only at this moment, he had activated the invisibility function on his cloak, and he could only see the footprints that kept flashing in the blood and water on the street, but he couldn't see the people in front of him at all.
The distance to home is getting closer and closer, but the energy of the cloak is also depleted, Ressa has to stop the stealth mode to let it automatically recover its energy, and his manifestation also instantly attracts the attention of several people and beasts around him.
Turning a pounced man and beast into coke, Ressa's mood became more and more urgent, and the consumption along the way was not small, and there was not much left in his body at this time. Although it is close to home, it is being attacked more and more.
The tragic situation on the street made his heart sink continuously, lest when he found her, all he saw was a pile of broken bodies.
He was already a little numb, he didn't have much of his abilities left, and he didn't know how many beasts he had to kill if he kept going.
"Huhuhu............" Resa was slightly panting, although going out in the past would be more dangerous than the current situation, but they were all based on exploration, which was different from continuous battles, and, outside the node, they had special means of registration, as long as they were not killed directly because of the reaction, they could generally escape with special means.
And here, Ressa can only fight hard, and the continuous battles and the consumption of abilities in his body make a stream of reddish scales climb up Ressa's arm, which is a precursor to the mutation.
Ressa turned the bootstrap back to its original form, a pang of cramping in his chest, he wasn't in great shape.
Fortunately, this time the luck was not so bad, although there were many people and beasts, but most of them were attracted by the corpses on the ground.
However, the cautious and cautious Resa was attacked 6 times, 5 of which he killed the attacking man-beast, and the other time, Ressa, who had few abilities, could only escape under the cover of an invisibility cloak with a small amount of charge.
The gunfire and roaring not far away were no longer as intense as before!
With such sparse gunfire, either the attacking Celestial Beasts have already been repulsed, or the defenders are almost dead.
Ressa didn't dare to think about it anymore, but with the help of the cover of the invisibility cloak, she once again quickened her pace and ran in the direction of home.
There's also a corner and I'll be home.
Resa thought silently, but she was in good spirits.
"Little girl, you're going to become Uncle Ben's special breeding seedbed, hiss............ haha"
From the depths of the alley came the sobbing sound of a girl and a strange scream.
Ressa's steps paused, but he shook his head again, he is not a saint, in this complicated post-apocalyptic environment, I am afraid that he will not be able to protect himself, let alone save people.
It's just that just when he was about to continue walking, for no reason, the appearance of Dipeka appeared in his mind.
Chicks? Don't???
Ressa's eyes glowed a faint blood red, he didn't notice, the pale red scales on his arm solidified again, and a wave of energy appeared in his body from nowhere.
The next moment, his speed was used to the extreme, and he rushed towards the depths of the alley.
