Fifty minutes after the invasion begins, the game space.

Mall, area 101.

"Whew...... Ha ha...... Hahahaha...... "Looking at the wreckage that had dissipated into data fragments in front of him, he wiped the blood from his face, took a long breath, and laughed, "Finally...... Finally all killed! Hahahaha......"

It's understandable for his madman-like reaction, as he has just emerged from a fierce and suffocating battle.

In addition to him, the gods, red cherry blossoms, rivers and lakes, and the members of the second team of the order who were also in the area also showed relieved expressions.

In the nearly half an hour just now, the members of these first-class powerhouses joined forces for the first time and worked hard to eliminate a total of five "giants".

These giants also have a specific title - "Devourers".

Unlike the normal redundant soldiers and sweepers...... The Encroachers are not a native data soldier, they are a "merger" of other redundant soldiers.

Normally, 300 ordinary redundant soldiers are fused in the form of data to generate an encroacher.

The power of the Encroacher is determined by the total strength of all participating redundant soldiers in the merge, if there are Sweepers mixed in the redundant participating in the merge...... Then its combat power will also be counted.

To sum up, this is a very powerful data soldier and the trump card unit of the redundant army.

While the top players in Area 101 managed to eliminate five encroachers, they also paid a terrible price.

The Ice Emperor's "Naming Trio" were the first to die in battle, and they made a great contribution in the process of fighting the first encroacher, and it can be said that they discovered many characteristics of the encroacher by risk; And Red Sakura's Iron Begonia, Hyacinth, as well as the Brave Invincible, Brave Fearless, Ye Paper, and the Swordless Warriors of the Second Order Team, were all killed in the process of fighting the second and third encroachers.

At this point, players have basically figured out how to deal with the Encroachers. And the number of encroachers is only two. So, the ensuing battle was relatively simple.

By the time all five of the predators had been killed, the death toll did not increase.

However, on the whole, the losses in this battle were relatively serious. The only team with no loss of one main player was the first team of the gods (only four people came), and the other teams all suffered varying degrees of losses.

"Alas...... Why can't I laugh at all......" looked at the traces of laughter. Barcode propped up his sniper rifle, sat down on the floor, and let out a sigh.

This ace sniper of Order Studio is now the only surviving member of Order 2, and his mood at the moment can only be described as lonely as snow......

"You've all worked hard, too." Smiled and asked Cangtian to turn around and look at the non-professional players outside the battle circle for the first time, and said, "Thank you." ”

When he said this, he was by no means trying to win people's hearts, but to express his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

Just now, when their five professional powerhouses joined forces to fight against the Encroachers. The other players in Area 101 spontaneously banded together to help them block the ordinary redundant soldiers and sweepers on the periphery, clearing their worries.

Without the help of these players, I'm afraid this battle would have become even more brutal...... Or even a fiasco.

"Where, if you hadn't stopped those giants, we would have been desperate."

"yes, we just did what we could."

As soon as the words of the smile asked Cangtian, passers-by A and passer-by B, who were closer to him, responded politely to the president of the rivers and lakes on behalf of the masses.

At this time. The emotion of "fear" has largely disappeared from the hearts of players, and has been replaced by a sense of accomplishment for the rest of their lives......

Mankind. It is a very adaptable animal, fear, and something that can be adapted. For example...... A horror movie can scare you once, twice, but when you watch it three, five, or even ten times, that fear fades; And when you look at it a hundred times, the fear is completely gone...... Because when you were watching the hundredth and first time. It is already clear what will happen in the next second, that is to say...... "unknown" becomes "known"; Without the "unknown", there is no fear; This...... It's about adapting.

In the same way, when faced with a sudden crisis, people's psychological reactions are the same...... Fear can make people feel stunned and overwhelmed. At this point, "instinct" replaces "thinking" and takes over one's behavior.

Instinct is the precious wealth obtained by organisms in the process of evolution, and it is one of the guarantees for the survival and reproduction of species. Most creatures in the food chain have a similar response process when they encounter unknown dangers—fleeing, hiding, watching, and tempting......

Humanity is no exception.

The development of technology and the maturity of cognition have not changed our instincts much, but fortunately, as highly intelligent creatures, human beings can overcome their instincts through training.

In a difficult situation, individuals who have more "overcoming experience" of fear will adapt to the situation more quickly than other individuals, and they will only need a short time to return "thinking" to the high ground occupied by "instinct", and they will play a good role in taking the lead. (PS: Feng Bujue should be excluded from this kind of person, because the high ground in his mind has been entrenched by "thinking" for a long time, and "instinct" can only wait on the mountainside)

As long as a small group of people, or even one person, can react quickly and correctly based on thinking, they have the opportunity to influence all the same people around them. Because ...... "imitation" is also an important part of human adaptability. When people of their own kind do something and get safe, they feel less afraid of it, and they feel ...... I can do this myself to some extent.

The battle situation in Area 101 is roughly like this...... Led by a handful of elite players, ordinary players quickly put their fears behind them and joined the battle.

In the face of a desperate situation, no one gave up and no one fled; Eventually, they succeeded in destroying all of the spawns that had invaded the area.

…………

It is worth mentioning ...... In this battle, two groups of people played a particularly crucial role.

The first group was an organization dressed in a long white windbreaker with a big character "殇" written in blood on the back - "殇の pro-guard"; The other group is an organization wearing a long blue windbreaker and writing the word "mourning" in blood on the back - "Su Huai Yan Official Fan Group".

The nature of both teams is evident. There's not much to introduce...... In that large group of non-professional gamers, these two groups of people are almost like death squads. After the first predator appeared, most ordinary players flinched. There are only these two groups...... Completely unmoved, he stayed behind the five strong teams (in fact, it was just the Red Sakura team) from beginning to end, and resolutely carried it to the end.

Regardless of the motives, their actions really inspired the passers-by around them, and their "death-seeking" attitude inspired the crowd. Kankan maintained a near-collapse front.

I have to say...... The victory of this battle is due to the personal credit of a certain female player......

…………

All in all, after a fierce battle, the area has finally returned to tranquility.

And the safety of this moment is undoubtedly the result of the joint efforts of all those present.

For those passers-by, how they feel at the moment...... It's like a group of recruits who have just finished their first battle. Just surviving is enough to change their hearts a lot. In the future, when faced with similar situations, they will "adapt" more quickly.

In reality, the difference between a veteran and a new soldier is roughly the same...... It is this "resilience". Decide whether you are confused or violent in a sudden situation, trust me...... Most of the time, the stunned one will die.

"Then here's the problem......" After a moment of silence, Shiva looked at the crowd around him and spoke, "...... Is this the end of it? ”

As he spoke, he raised his eyes to the boundaries of the area; At this time, in addition to the dome, even the walls next to this mall were torn open with huge spatial rifts. Even from a distance, you can clearly see the distorted space-time made up of the optical flow of data.

"When the third, fourth, and fifth giants came in...... Most of the exterior walls of the area were knocked out, and the elevator doors leading to the login space were destroyed. How do we get back? Shiva said.

"Anyway, it's still not okay to force out." Great Brahma quickly replied, "I just tried it too. ”

"Hmm...... And those players who have hung up are still unreachable. Black, white and gray also touched his chin and read.

"Could it be ......" At this time, a very bad thought flashed through Su Huaiyan's mind, "...... Is the system going for us to kill each other until the last man? ”

This sentence of hers. It made everyone present gasp.

Fortunately, the change that happened in the next second ...... Rejected her hypothesis.

Hum -

At that moment, a strange sound sounded in the ears of all players, and their eyes were obscured by white light.

The next somatosensory is similar to teleportation. But it's a little different...... It's just that the players can't tell the specific difference.

After about five seconds, when the players came back to their senses, they were already in a completely new space.

It's not a mall, it's a white, boundless world.

The sky and the earth in front of me are the same pure white, and the whole sky is like an unreachable ceiling, emitting a moderate amount of light. On the white earth, there are many scenes of different sizes...... There are tall buildings, trees and forests, mountains and rivers, etc., all of which are pure white, with only outlines and no details, and some of them stand there like simple giant geometric building blocks.

In addition to these "big scenes", there are many relatively small things in this space, such as cars, street light poles, merry-go-rounds, dressers, bathtubs, ...... These countless objects are also white outlines, and there is no pattern to follow in the types, as if they were randomly picked out of an encyclopedia, and scattered evenly on the white earth.

"Huh? Isn't that the weight of heaven and earth? ”

"yes, and the heartbreak fruit."

"That's the autumn wind of the mountains and rivers, right?"

"Hey! Over there, the Four Heavenly Kings of the Gods! ”

"Huh? The crazy traces of the rivers and lakes are not afraid of the sword shadow and the talent that was in the same area with us just now? ”

"Wow! I see the goddess of the silk, am I already dead? Is this paradise? ”

Shortly after the teleportation ended, players discovered a situation...... It seems that the survivors from various shopping mall areas have all been sent to this strange space.

Just when the players were still scratching their heads, suddenly ......

Boom-boom-boom-

A rhythmic, heavy footstep sound came from all sides, and the ground beneath the players' feet trembled.

"What's going on? Are there still giants? ”

"Ahh Over there! ”

"There's one too!"

Indeed, these sounds and vibrations are the footsteps of the encroachers.

At this moment, there are four encroachers, running towards the more than 3,000 players gathered from four directions......

"Cut...... Who's afraid of whom! ”

"Rub! If you don't accept it, you do it! ”

"It's not good, everyone is ready to deal with the impact!"

The players who can stand here alive are all strong players who have survived the offensive and defensive battles in various regions. Although not every area has been attacked by multiple encroachers (redundant soldiers track targets by sniffing data, Area 101 has the most and strongest troops because of the large amount of powerful data gathering, and other areas have at most one encroacher), everyone present is confident that they can withstand the attack of these four giants.

However...... They misunderstood one thing.

The four Encroachers are not charging at the players, but ......

Bang Bang Bang Bang -

But the encroachers have not even come to the player's approach, and they have already jumped up one after another. They jumped almost at the same time, and they jumped extremely high. When they reached the high ground, the four encroachers spread out at the same time...... Self-destructed.

"What is this for? Do you set off fireworks......"

"If you want to blow yourself up, it's closer, and jumping so high doesn't affect us at all."

For the first three seconds, players were still wondering what the "giants" were trying to do, until the fourth second...... The four light sources in the sky suddenly turned into four streams of light, converging towards the middle.

Hum -

Boom -

Immediately afterward, the players heard two loud bangs.

The first sound was a long buzz.

The second sound was a bang.

With the sound, a tsunami-like sound swept out and pressed towards the players.

Even though the players all hurriedly raised their hands to cover their ears, their eardrums hurt and their legs went weak due to the loud bang above their heads. Some players have low survival points...... was directly shocked into white light by this wave of sound.

"This is terrible...... "After a full twelve seconds, the explosion stopped, and Shiva, who was kneeling on one knee, raised his head and looked at the sky, despite the dizziness.

At this time, at a height of about 100 meters above the ground, that is, the place where the four optical currents converged just now...... A spherical spatial rift with a radius of about twenty meters has appeared, and it looks as deep as a black hole on all sides, and there is electric light surging at the edge of the sphere.

Shiva was so impressed with this thing that in fact, before he could even look up, he had already guessed what he was going to face.

“…… It's a booming tunnel again. (To be continued.) )
