Act I: Broken Hearts Chapter 23: The Lurker in the Dark

Icarus has always been quite popular with girls, his handsome face and elegant temperament are a weapon to capture the hearts of girls, although he does not mess with flowers, but in this regard, there is still a certain amount of self-confidence.

Only this time, it was a feather return.

Looking at the vigilant second daughter, Icarus really didn't know what to say, and finally put the fruit basket by the door: "Dear Miss Xuan Xin, it is our guardian's work that has not done its job properly, I came to visit Miss Xuan Xin on behalf of the guardian team, since I see that Miss Xuan Xin is fine, I am also relieved, and say hello to Mr. Resa on my behalf." ”

Icarus bowed, and without waiting for the second daughter to say anything, he ran away towards the end of the street.

"............" the second daughter stared blankly at Icarus who disappeared around the corner of the street.

After a while, Ye Mosha turned around and asked, "Xiao Mi, do you know this person?" ”

"Not very familiar, this is the second time I've seen him, he saved me last time. He also gave those two potions. Yan Xin's expression was a little complicated and looked at the fruit basket on the ground, she was really afraid that this person had taken a fancy to herself, if she caused trouble for her master, she would have trouble sleeping.

Ye Mosha saw Yan Xin's appearance, and after thinking about it carefully, she guessed what Yan Xin was worried about, so she hugged Yan Xin and comforted: "I think this person has a brain problem, and you don't have to worry, he said, 'Say hello to Mr. Resa on his behalf', which means that he knows the master, and it should be okay for us to tell the master about this matter after the master comes back." By the way, do you know what his name is? ”

"emmmm~~~, it seems to be called Yilos, I can't remember clearly, it's probably just such a name." Yan Xin tilted her head and thought about it, but she didn't feel that she could remember clearly.

"Okay, so be it!" Ye Mosha clicked on the personal terminal: "Command, detect the target danger factor." With that, he clicked on the fruit basket in front of him, and then the fruit basket was wrapped in a cloud of blue light.

"The system is being tested........................ After the test, the danger index was 0, and no dangerous goods and viruses were found. An electronic synthesized sound sounded in the courtyard.

"Order, reclaim to the fresh-keeping sealed cabin." Ye Mosha clicked a few times on the personal terminal, since the operating system of the house was reprogrammed by her, the operation terminal of the house has completely become her private property, of course, the highest authority command is in the hands of Ressa, even Ye Mosha can't change this, she won't change this.

Watching the blue light cluster fly towards the villa with the fruit basket, Ye Mosha helped Yan Xin to walk towards the villa, the life here made them cherish it very much, of course, Ye Mosha also had some things that she wanted to change, such as pushing it to Ressa or something.

………

After arriving at the Hop Fortress this time, Resa found that the personnel were obviously sparser than the last time, but this didn't have much impact, regardless of whether the number of people in the Hopping Fortress was enough, it would open a Snap Jump every other day, which was also known to Resa when he came back after going out last time, which also made Resa sigh that it was good to have a large shelter node.

If it was changed to the previous Frost Node, it would take three or four days to go to the wilderness to make up enough people, and some people may feel strange, even the survivors of the smallest Frost Node shelter, there are more than 10 million people, and it will take three or four days for a thousand people to get together?

But that's exactly what happened! Even sometimes three or four days may not be able to make up, man is an animal that will get used to comfort, especially when he knows how dangerous the situation he is about to face, he often chooses to avoid evil.

In the eyes of human beings, the wilderness is no longer the earth they are familiar with, and their strength cannot find a better way to survive in the wilderness, so staying in the shelter node, even if it is stealing life, it is better to live than to die, and it is much safer to face humans than to face those unknown creatures.

Besides, there is a guardian team in the shelter node to maintain order, be careful, there is no problem in surviving.

Therefore, few people choose to become an explorer, it is a life and death business, and explorers are not so simple to become, most explorers are still based on firearms, which also makes the profession of mechanic popular.

After all, no matter how powerful the firepower of a single weapon is, it can't compare to the firepower of several guns firing at the same time, and mechanics were born in the first group of explorers.

They can rely on advanced programming to set up self-propelled or self-guided turrets for coordinated operations, and their powerful firepower allows them to face ordinary ground beasts and human beasts without pressure, as long as there is enough ammunition, even if the tide of people and beasts is swarm, they can penetrate it.

Of course, the mechanic's reliance on scientific and technological weapons is relatively heavy, and when facing some high-level earth beasts and heavenly beasts, they are still relatively weak, and powerful heavenly beasts can drive the energy in their bodies to form an energy protection layer.

Whether it is a metal warhead, a high-explosive warhead, an armor-piercing warhead, or an energy weapon, it is impossible to break through this layer of defense in a short period of time, but in this time, it is enough for the Celestial Beast to kill the firearm manipulator hundreds of times.

At this time, against the Heavenly Beasts, you need a supernatural person, and the supernatural person is also a relatively rare existence among the explorers.

The ability of the ability is usually to convert the ability in the body into elements such as fire, frost, hurricane, thunder and lightning, which is too powerful and must be guided and launched through the guidance device, otherwise it is very likely that after being converted into frost, he will be frozen first.

Ability attacks are powerful and can quickly shred up energy protection, but of course, whether or not they can damage the beast depends on the strength of the ability in the person's body, and the more abilities you activate, the more powerful it becomes.

The weak physique of human beings cannot be compared with the heavenly beasts, so when facing the heavenly beasts, the vast majority of them ended up being killed by humans, and after losing a large number of explorers many times in a row, most of the human beings gave up becoming explorers, as long as they can live safely in the shelter node, why bother to fight to the death.

After thinking that in the end, they would end up with no bones, their children living on the streets, and their women becoming the playthings of others, more and more people gave up fighting.

The number of explorers has become scarce. It's just that they forget that the reason why the shelter node can operate is because of the new energy materials found by the explorers, and when the explorers become fewer and fewer, one day, the shelter node will no longer be safe.

Ressa once again spent more than 400 exploration points to exchange for some energy bars and nerve paralysis resistance reagents and other medicines, and the time came to noon, the huge sun hung in the sky, the sunlight was very dazzling, but there was no sense of heat, after all, this was just an autonomous simulation of the node's climate regulation function.

Ressa found a shady place, although the masculine is not hot, but it is very dazzling, Resa leaned against the corner, the eaves just blocked the sunlight, Resa was bored, so he checked the fold record on his personal terminal, after coming to the frost node, he only made a fold jump, so the record point is also lonely, Resa clicked on the node a few wisps to check up.

Hops: Tislanos

Type: Small city-state

Individual number: T-000001

Synopsis: One of the small city-states directly under the Earth Alliance, with a population of about 50 million, was attacked by a beast tide composed of nearly 100,000 earth beasts in 2231 AD, and the number of survivors was zero.

Hazard Level: S+

Reason: The number of explorers who have visited the area is 11,981 and the number of survivors is 17 (11 seriously injured, 4 lightly injured, and 2 uninjured)

The danger level in this area is too high, and if you choose to orient the jump, you will need to pay 15,000 exploration points as a directional teleportation fee.

Ressa rubbed her forehead, it seems that her luck is really good, the first time she went to the wilderness, she encountered the high-risk area of S+, and even luckier was that she actually came back alive. 15,000 exploration points, unless I have a brain disease, I will go there again, but what Resa doesn't know is that in the near future, he really has to take out 15,000 exploration points to revisit his old place, which is a later story.

Look away from the personal terminal. Ressa looked at the screen in the square, where the number of people displayed could only reach five hundred, but there were still 55 minutes left in the countdown below, which meant that there were still 55 minutes left in the standby time for this round, and after 55 minutes, regardless of whether the number of people reached 1,000, the jump would be opened. Resa sorted out the gear she was carrying. I secretly prayed in my heart that I wouldn't be as unlucky as last time.

More than 50 minutes passed quickly. As the purple light flashed, the square became empty again. The hustle and bustle has once again become quiet, making it feel more like a forgotten place.

……………………

Ressa has always thought that he is very lucky, of course, this time is no exception, the lucky Resa appeared in a dark place where he couldn't see his fingers, and the occasional sound seemed to indicate that it was not calm here, Ressa's fingers clicked on the mask's ear, turned on the night vision function, and the surrounding scene appeared.

This is a long corridor, the dilapidated ceiling above her head is showing Ressa that this is indoors, this corridor is very long, Resa turned to look at the place she had just walked behind her, not far away is the end of the corridor, and you can vaguely see the icons of two small people.

The corners of Ressa's mouth twitched, did she throw herself into the toilet of a certain building? If it weren't for the fact that the area around the hop was safe, Ressa would have wanted to scold her mother.

Last time, I threw myself to the edge of the city, but this time I actually threw myself directly into the city, because now is not like 2 centuries ago, there are still some small villages on the earth, as early as the beginning of the last century, human beings formed a federation, unified use of the federal language, and the predecessor of the 12 major nodes is the 12 main cities of the human federation.

Human beings live in the cities of the Federation, the village has long been a thing of the past, and there is no village that can build a building of this size, Resa is just praying now, but don't turn yourself to a town above a large town, the last time the small town can encounter white grievances, if you get to a large town, well, no trouble, Resa can choose to crush the coin directly.

Ressa ignored the toilet behind her, and carefully walked through the corridor, Ressa came to an empty small square-like room, the room was large, but it was larger than the parking lot in Ressa's memory, which made Ressa wonder if she had jumped into a large shopping mall? Ressa frowned and pondered, but she didn't find the tiny broken bones under her feet.

The sound of broken bones ......... shattering echoed in this area, a layer of cold sweat rose on Resa's vest, he didn't dare to make any more movements, so he stood still for more than half an hour, the surroundings were still quiet, Resa breathed a sigh of relief, and was just about to walk towards a descending staircase not far away, but a slight sound sounded around him at the same time, Ressa's footsteps paused in the air, and a terrifying and shocking feeling spread in the bottom of his heart.........
