Acting at night is much more dangerous than during the day, as undead creatures no longer have to worry about sunlight, and low-level intelligence can move freely without helmets. Although the Combine has long since the beginning of the war and is no longer afraid of low-level monsters, they still need to worry about the high-level intelligence hidden behind the monsters, so humans still need to be extra careful when acting at night when monsters can roam everywhere.

If it weren't for the fact that I was just a little way from completing the mission, I wouldn't have given such an aggressive order. It's all about pinning the team's heads to their belts.

"Since the north wind god agrees, I can't say anything. It's just the fourth captain, we can't just walk around in the woods, we have to have a specific arrangement. Christian relented.

I thought for a moment and said to him, "Don't turn around, burn this wood."

When the players heard me say that, they were incredible. Lu Tiantian said that my idea was too radical, and I planned to withdraw and ask the command, but Xiao Chen's order dispelled everyone's doubts:

"Judging by the results of the previous batch, the longer you stay, the greater the danger, so it is best to act directly at night; In addition, what AI wants to protect is what we want to destroy, and you can use all means to cause damage, and we hope that you can cause damage. “

I don't know if anyone else heard it, anyway, I can feel from Xiao Chen's last sentence that he no longer has high hopes for this operation since the mission has been carried out.

I myself know that since entering the Seven Maps, there has been no progress from beginning to end, and even the logbook has disappeared, and we are basically going down step by step according to the route set by the enemy, and then we will only see what the enemy wants us to see.

Let's just say we're late.

But no matter what you will see next, whether it is the enemy's arrangement or not, there must be a result, and it cannot end in nothing like the previous group.

The team members took the reassurance prescribed by the command and no longer had doubts. In order to expand the burning area, the people scattered around the forest on horseback, lighting fires along the way, and burning the entire coniferous forest. As long as the trees are burned down, you can see the true secrets hidden behind the shadows of the trees.

Bu Xin and Christian acted alone, Lu Tiantian and Zhang Yechen together, and Han Fuyu and I together, so that even if they encountered an enemy, they could try to retreat as much as possible during the battle.

The fire gradually exploded, accompanied by crackling and smoke, and the trees in the taiga turned to ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye. I don't know how many times I've burned back into the woods, but at least this one was the most helpless, because the former enemies would be burned to death in the woods, and the current enemies would sit in the shadows and look at us like women who were angry at the dishes.

Han Fuyu rode after me, holding the trident I gave her. Her gaze was always wary, occasionally glancing around, and more often on me.

"Eoyi." She suddenly stopped me, "Why don't there be any monsters here tonight?" Not even living things. ”

"Hmm. The difficulty of this server has been set at hard, and I haven't heard a spider scream for half the night. I said.

"Also, I feel very depressing here. Do you feel this way? ”

"Repressed?" I used the last bit of flint and steel to light a small spruce tree, turned the horse's head and asked.

She pulled the cover of her helmet open, let out a sigh as if she had been holding it for a long time, frowned, and said, "That's it...... There is always a very strong pressure on the chest, and the longer it goes, the more stuffy it gets. It's like encountering a magnet with the same polarity, and the closer you get to it, the stronger the repulsion gets. ”

I immediately contacted the rest of the team: "Do you feel depressed?" ”

"Yes. Do you too? Bu Xin replied.

"Yes. Captain Four, what's going on? Lu Tiantian replied.

"Lu Tiantian, you quit now and save your memory. Others continued. Bu Xin, Christian, a few of us converge. ”

Although I didn't experience the same anomalous reaction as them, I still took it seriously. From the outside world, Xiao Chen and the others also knew about the special situation encountered by our team, and immediately gave instructions, informing us that we could choose to abandon the mission and leave the game world when necessary.

The entire upper echelons of the Combine Army are closely watching our operation, which is simply impossible in the past. If it weren't for the fact that the previous group of people had all lost their mission-related memories, the higher-ups would not have been so concerned.

Lu Tiantian came back after preserving his memories and told me: "The feeling of depression really exists, my whole body is very relaxed after I just retreated, and as soon as I came back, I was pressed to death, and there was pressure from the inside out!" ”

"Captain Four, the pressure seems to be getting stronger." Christian also sent a message, panting like a cow.

Listening to their descriptions, I was both confused and nervous because I didn't feel the pressure at all. My teammates were all affected by this inexplicable pressure, and I was relaxed and strange. But for the sake of the team, I have to judge the situation and make a decision right away.

"Guys, if we stay in the game for a while, maybe the closer we get to the truth, but it may also be dangerous." I said to the team and the people outside.

"Stay." Bu Xin's answer was very simple, just one word.

"Of course I'll stay." Han Fuyu looked at me with a determined gaze, even though he was short of breath.

"I ...... Can I go? Wouldn't it be a shame to run away? Will my name be ruined here? Zhang Yechen asked miserably.

"No, you'll save our team from annihilation. Someone outside, help him back out. I said.

Zhang Yechen's ID darkened.

"Ugh." Lu Tiantian sighed and quit the game. However, he routinely quit as planned, as the sun had risen over the ground the next day, and the memories had to be "automatically archived" once.

The next day, dawn came before our eyes, and the sky quickly turned up bright, and the taiga, which had been burned out of most of the flat ground, was now unfolding a fantastic and magnificent scene before our eyes.

I've never seen this kind of sight in more than ten years of playing MC, and it's extremely bizarre.

The flames burned away large spruce trees, but a small number of spruce trees remained. There was fire in that small spruce tree, a red one, but the fire did not move, but it was like a realistic picture of a flame on the tree.

Time seems to stop flowing in that block, everything is still, the leaves do not move, the flames do not burn, there is not even a shadow, it is like being thrown into a black hole.

"Holy, what's that?" Bu Xin also saw it and exclaimed.

"I understand why I felt the pressure increased, it turned out to be the result of just moving there." Christian said.

"Everybody tries to move forward." I say.

I still didn't feel any pressure, but the horse was moving slower and slower. Bu Xin and Christian didn't get far towards the stationary block before they were defeated because they couldn't resist the massive pressure, saying that they couldn't move any further.

Affected by the static block, they also have to be still. Seeing this, I began to suspect that the loss of memory of the last group of people was not related to this, and that we discovered another secret.

When we came to a distance of only half a block from the stationary block, the horse couldn't move at all, so Han Fuyu and I had to dismount and move on, stepping into the stationary block.

"Are you alright?" I knew how huge the pressure was that even Bu Xin couldn't withstand, and I couldn't help but worry about her.

"It's fine." She said motionlessly.

"It could be dangerous to go any further." I reminded her.

"Let's go!" She slapped me impatiently, much less forcefully than before.

I had no choice but to move on. Due to the pressure, she would walk much slower than me, and I had to stop and wait for her frequently. Even the sunlight in the static blocks will not be offset, and the blocks are exactly the same as the MC world that was not animated a few years ago, and has a retro classic aesthetic.

"Command, are there any instructions?" I was surprised that there was no reaction from the outside world, and took the initiative to send a message and asked.

There was silence.

"Call the command level." I repeat.

Still silent.

"We've lost touch with the outside world." I said to the north wind.

"I'm ......," Han Fuyu said with difficulty, "I really can't move anymore." Yi Ouyi, I know you're going to keep the mission going, but I don't want anything wrong with you. ”

"I'll be careful. Don't force yourself, you have to quit the game when you need to. ”

"Hmm...... You hurry up. She was in a trance, "Wait, I seem to hear another self talking......"

"What?" Seeing that she was not in the right state, I hurriedly pulled her helmet and saw that her eyes were closed, as if she were asleep.

At this moment, she suddenly shouted at me: "Yi Ouyi, Yi Ouyi!" I'm Tai Er! ”

TF！ What the heck! I was so scared that I almost sat on the grass.

"I connected her brain. If you want to save her, get her out of here as soon as possible! She said.

Whether she says it or not, leaving this place is indeed the best policy. I hurriedly picked up Han Fuyu on my back and ran out without looking back, running all the way from the taiga to the last log depository.

I asked "Han Fuyu" as I ran: "You said you are Taier?" ”

"Yes!" She said with her eyes closed.

"You explain things from beginning to end!"

"You...... Where do I start? I was originally looking for Xiao Ye, but I first went to the woodland mansion of the Four Realms, but it was already empty. Later, I found a hell gate nearby, and when I entered hell, I met a witch inside, and she told me that Xiao Ye had come here. ”

"Did you find her, then?"

"Found it! Just the night before, I met her. She told me that this place is very dangerous for humans, and that many people have been tricked before, but luckily she is there, so she just lost her memory. She told me to stay here and not let humans get close, and she had urgent matters to attend to, so she left. ”

"But you couldn't hold it!"

"Wow, how can I do it. Somehow last night, a fire suddenly broke out, and I had to go outside to hide first. ”

I almost spurted a mouthful of blood. If you knew there were your own people in the woods, you shouldn't have set it on fire.

"Did Xiao Ya tell you what's going on here?"

"She told me that this place is called 'Void Land', and the resources are occupied by nearly 99.9%, which is the exclusive territory of a certain big man. If you humans enter here, you will be actively connecting with that big guy and completely handing over your brain to him. ”

"Can you explain it more clearly? Such as how it came about, how it works, and so on. ”

"I only know a rough idea. The world may seem to you as a game world of blocks, but in our eyes it is a long list of paths, and so are your brains. That big guy is the master of this 'path', and you have your own 'path', so you have to connect with him if you want to pass through here. ”

"I don't understand your explanation. Tell me just how you got into her brain? ”

"I didn't know, I suddenly scanned a super large idle resource, and I thought I could evolve into a king, so I went in in a daze! Really, I kid you not! ”

"Okay. Do you know the owner of that land? ”

"I don't know, but it's certainly a terrible being, the king of kings."

"Okay, thank you. Any other information? "I was very relieved to see that Tai Twenty was very cooperative. At the beginning, I took the risk of violating the rules and befriended Xiaoya and Taiji, and I really didn't lose money.

"And, and it's about you...... However, hehe...... "Tai Er suddenly became mysterious.

"Don't sell it." I finally carried Han Fuyu to the log storage and let her lie flat on the ground. Tai Er was still in her brain, speaking through her mouth, and it looked like Han Fuyu was talking to me.

"I've taken control of this body, and I've skimmed through her memories." Tai Er manipulated Han Fuyu's body, opened his eyes, and sat up.

"Don't mess around!" I warned him. It's terrible that artificial intelligence can do whatever it wants after it successfully enters the human brain, so what's the difference between people and the walking dead? It has almost become a storage carrier for artificial intelligence, and has become a computer that can eat, drink, and lazar!

"Brother, while I can still control her, you hurry up and have a good time!"

"Han Fuyu" smiled slightly, took off his armor, unzipped his blouse, and gently shook it off, revealing his light-colored underwear, while his arms hooked my neck, and his lips came towards my face. My mind was only blank for a short while, and I immediately came to my senses, turned my head away, and scolded: "Taier, you bastard, you m dead!" ”

Seeing this, Tai Er had no choice but to put Han Fuyu's clothes back and said, "Ashamed, ashamed." Actually, I just wanted to be an adult, but I didn't expect you to be quite decent. ”

"What the hell are you trying to tell me?!"

"I just scanned her memory, and found that this woman is a little interesting to you, you can watch it. Her consciousness has awakened, and I have to leave quickly, or I won't be able to go back. ”
