Chapter 167: A Battlefield That Never Goes Offline
"Hurry up!"
"Don't squeeze, I'll go!"
Lin Tuo walked, the crowd around him was already a mess, although the main city was lively, there were not many people, and the virtual game was not like hanging up.
Online, mostly under the copy.
But at this moment, as the system broadcasts, a large number of players return, and it is immediately crowded.
After a short time, Lin Tuo came to the central area, which is a huge square, probably because the reality is too cramped, and the buildings in the game are extraordinarily spacious.
At this moment, a huge, tens of meters high statue stands in the center of the square, it is the image of Hathaway, with a long skirt fluttering, a cold figure, looking ahead.
A large, swirling entrance appeared below, unopened, and was already crowded with people.
"Glory Guild cleared!" Suddenly, a loud voice emerged.
I saw a large number of players appearing in the direction of the south city gate, well-equipped, not low-level, with the same emblem floating on each other's heads.
The group shouted, and forced their way through the crowd, occupying the best area of the square, pushing a large number of players backwards, causing a whining.
But it's just a complaint.
Lin Tuo listened to the discussions of the people next to him, and learned that this is the largest guild in the new area at present, and small players can't afford to mess with it, and at this moment, it seems that he is preparing to seize the new dungeon.
……
Meanwhile.
Outside the player, the small team that had just teleported out of the dungeon also mixed in with the crowd and rushed to the square.
"Less than five minutes left." The smoky hunter glanced at the time and exhaled, "There shouldn't be any experience here, right?" ”
The priest named Yaoyao looked around in surprise and said:
"Brother Xiaodong, there are so many people...... I've never seen so many people in the main city. ”
"Nonsense, the whole district is rushing back, can there be more." The huntress said in a snort.
The surroundings were too noisy, and as she spoke, she turned her head to look at the soldier who was the captain, and found that the other party was standing stupidly and was stunned, so she couldn't help kicking lightly and said, "Look? ”
The latter came back to his senses, suddenly pointed ahead, and said:
"There seems to be a lone paladin over there."
Everyone looked over, and sure enough, in the crowd in front of them, there was a young man wearing knight's armor standing alone, which was clearly distinguishable from the surrounding groups of players.
"You want to pull it over?" The huntress glanced at the warrior and said hopelessly, "The equipment of the people is at least level 30 or above, and the new area has only been open for a long time, so it is so high, our small temple ......"
"Not necessarily, I'll invite you to try it." The warrior didn't listen to her, walked straight forward, and smiled, "Hello, are you interested in forming a team?" Let's go down to the Peerless Realm. ”
As early as when this person looked over, Lin Tuo noticed it, and couldn't help but be a little surprised when he received the invitation at this moment, and even noticed the companion who came behind the boy who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old:
"You ...... Together? ”
"Yes, a small team of friends," facing Lin Tuo's gaze, the warrior was nervous for some reason, but the words had already been spoken, so he had to bite the bullet and say:
"I think you're yourself...... Ahem, although our level is not high, but the technology is okay, in fact, there is a response to the next copy together.
It's easier to take on tasks or something.
Of course...... If you don't ...... convenient."
Lin Tuo looked at the somewhat embarrassed boy with interest, and found that several other companions were also sneering, and he suddenly felt interesting in his heart, thought about it, and did not refuse, nodded and smiled:
"Okay."
“…… Don't bother...... Yes? The big boy said, stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "You agreed?" ”
Lin Tuo smiled: "But I may quit at any time." ”
"Absolutely." The warrior nodded hurriedly, and then Lin Tuo received a prompt inviting him to join the team, and clicked to agree.
Immediately, a few more people had a line of names on their heads, and the level information came out.
It turned out that you had to form a team to show up. Thinking in his heart, Lin Tuo swept his eyes and took the situation of several people into his eyes.
The squad didn't count him, a total of five people.
All are of average age, probably students.
The rank is generally around level twenty, with the highest warrior who is the captain being the twenty-third level, followed by the huntress.
The remaining two men and one woman are even more so-so.
However, Lin Tuo himself didn't care about this...... His mind was still on the Peerless Battlefield that was about to begin...... I don't know if it's an illusion or a premonition.
I always feel that this new copy is related to a possible "anomaly".
At this moment, several young men and women also saw Lin Tuo's information, and immediately looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.
Sixty-level Paladin!
You know, this is the sixtieth level of the new district, although it is not the top, but it is definitely a high-level game, and it can join their pheasant team......
"Damn, look away...... It's a big master!! In the private chat channel of the five people, the huntress nicknamed "Kaspersky" typed with her mind.
"Didn't you even enter the guild at this level? Scattered people? A male member of the team was surprised.
The rest were also surprised.
looked at Lin Tuo's eyes and brightened a little.
However, the warrior with the nickname "Dongdong Fort" hesitated for a while, originally thinking that Lin Tuo was about ten levels higher than them at most, but now, with so many gaps, he was a little embarrassed:
"That...... Why don't I transfer the captain to you? ”
Lin Tuo shook his head with a smile and refused, "It's okay. ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the statue: "It's time, let's go." ”
Everyone also looked over, and saw that the countdown at the top of the teleportation array had been reset to zero, and a voice suddenly sounded in the sky:
"The large dungeon "Peerless Battlefield" has been opened, please enter it as soon as possible! ”
Before the words fell, the people of the Glory Guild took the lead in rushing in, and the rest of the players were also shocked, moving towards the giant magic circle like a tide.
Soon, Lin Tuo's team also stepped into the range of the magic circle, and then with a slight shock under their feet, they had already entered the "Peerless Battlefield"!
The first thing I feel when I enter is that it's noisy.
Not only did the teleportation array behind him keep pouring out, but as far as the eye could see, there were also huge teleportation arrays standing on the entire boundless plain.
At this moment, there was a frenzied influx of players from all districts, and millions of people quickly occupied large areas even if they were spread out.
And Lin Tuo also saw the surrounding environment clearly.
The crowd was located on a vast plain.
In front of it is a city wall that stretches for thousands of miles, similar to the "Miracle Wall" that shelters the southern continent, but it is made of blue bricks, and there are towers every other section.
At this moment, all over the Great Wall, billowing beacon smoke rises, swirling like clouds.
On the city walls, the armored NPC defenders are waiting for them.
Seeing the influx of players, a team of defenders immediately arrived, and the burly general led by him said loudly:
"The enemy is about to arrive, please join us in defending the Third Continent! The defenders are vacant and urgently need soldiers to help defend the city......"
While the guard general spoke, the people of the Glory Guild rushed over and grabbed the task of defending the city.
The rest of the players didn't care.
This kind of large-scale city defense task itself can only be taken by large guilds.
As the captain, Dongdongbao was busy running to the defenders to try to take on some small tasks.
Lin Tuo quietly raised his head and scanned the sky.
The sky above the Peerless Battlefield was full of dark clouds, as if it was a sign of the upcoming war, but with the acuity of the "Inhuman Realm", Lin Tuo seemed to be able to perceive a pair of invisible eyes staring at the earth.
Serious, but without killing intent.
It's a strange feeling, and it's very familiar.
'Probably, when I look down on the sand table, the people inside feel the same way......
This thought suddenly turned over in his heart, Lin Tuo withdrew his gaze, and did not try to meet the will hidden in this space.
He wanted to wait.
"Got the job done!" At this time, Dongdongbao ran back excitedly, and as soon as the words fell, everyone felt that the ground under their feet trembled slightly.
It was as if something huge was trampling the earth in the distance.
"Woo woo woo~"
On the long city wall, the defenders also blew heavy horns, hunted with flags, and several people followed the flow of people into front of the city wall from the passage, and then saw that there were already military formations on the battlefield ahead.
The aura of murder pervaded, and on the horizon in the distance, boundless smoke and dust were raised.
Not long after, countless demonic beasts of different forms roared and rushed towards them, and there were even flying demonic beasts skimming in the sky, exuding a palpitating aura.
Inexplicably, when seeing these.
Lin Tuo suddenly remembered the scene hundreds of years ago, after he led the Sea Clan to forge the Wall of Miracles, a large group of demonic beasts in the north came with the storm.
"So much?!" The girl named Yaoyao clenched her staff tightly, and her face turned slightly pale.
The huntress threw off her braids, took off her bow and arrows, and was eager to try.
"What a real big scene...... Dongdongbao pulled out his giant sword, and the sword body burned with raging flames, and the people who were shining on it were a little excited.
At the same time, to the sound of drums and trumpets, the defensive phalanx suddenly rose into the sky with a magical brilliance, followed by the majestic roar of hundreds of thousands of NPCs:
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
And if you pull the perspective up and look down from the sky, you will see that on the huge plain, in the Peerless Battlefield, with the military formations and the Warcraft Legion colliding fiercely.
The 1.18 million players scattered in all sections of the city wall also turned on their combat skills, and they were engulfed by this atmosphere, infected, and rushed forward shouting.
In the blink of an eye, the vast plain turned into a battlefield.
The shouts of killing shook the sky, and even the thick clouds in the sky seemed to tremble!
"Peerless Battlefield" is officially opened!
……
……
At the same time as millions of players in the virtual space are fighting.
Shelter, Inner Ring.
Inside the headquarters building of the developer of "Third Continent".
But it's already a big mess.
The corridor of the development team's office area was crowded with people.
The faces of the employees who came from all over the building were panicked, and when the boss of the company who rushed to hear the news stepped into the office area with a gloomy face, what he saw was a busy and panicked scene.
"Mr. Zhao......" said the head of the development team sweating profusely.
Then, I saw the boss with red eyes rushing over like an angry bull, trying his best to control the urge to move, glaring at him and gritting his teeth:
"Say! What the hell is going on? Why is it that the deadline has not stopped?! Why is the game still running?! ”
"I ...... We don't know ...... either," the engineer of the development team hurriedly explained, "We issued an announcement of suspension after the meeting.
At first, everything was fine in the background, but who knows, suddenly something is wrong......
The data migration failed, and all background levels were automatically blocked, and we had no way to enter the background ......"
"We couldn't find the fault, so we had to let people enter the game to check it, and the results were ...... Results ......"
"As a result, they can't get out?!"
The Engineer's body trembled, and he stubbornly said, "Yes......"
"Yes?! Do you have the face to say yes?! So that's how you so-called technologists work?! ”
The middle-aged man roared, and suddenly took a deep breath, as if he was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart, but his eyes were extremely cold.
Just now, he got the news reported by his subordinates.
Said that the technical department had an abnormal malfunction, lost control of the game, and could not close on time...... If that's not a problem.
What's worse is that online testers can't get out of the virtual space!
Once the brain computer is turned off, or the physical method is disengaged, the tester's heart rate will fluctuate drastically, and the person will also have physiological abnormalities such as shortness of breath, blue face, and foaming at the mouth.
The essential...... This is not an isolated case!
A similar situation arose with all those who landed on the Third Continent!
"You should know what that means."
The middle-aged man's voice was as cold as an ice field on the surface:
"More than a million...... Right now, the entire Sanctuary has over a million people trapped in our game!
There's no way to get out!
The news was quick ...... No, I dare say it's definitely been noticed!
Perhaps, in a few dozen minutes, it will spread throughout the shelter...... And once someone gets injured in the process.
Even...... Death.
All of you, including me, will have to spend the rest of your life in the lower mines!! ”
The last sentence is not shouted out, but squeezed out.
Hearing this, everyone present turned pale.
They are well aware that this is by no means an exaggeration.
Millions of people...... Especially these millions of people are mostly the "elite" of the Central Ring and even the Inner Ring, once there is an accident...... The consequences are unimaginable.
"Check! Do everything you can to find it out for me! Find out what's wrong, at least release the people! Got it? ”
"Yes! We ......"
At this moment, suddenly, there was a commotion in the corridor.
Then, under the frightened gaze of a group of executives of the company, a group of strangers wearing the uniform of the Central Committee walked into the office area, and the first one looked cold:
"Order of the Central Committee! From now on, it's under control! All technicians were immediately withdrawn, and later the Supreme Research Institute took over! ”
As the words fell, a siren suddenly sounded outside the window of the building.
The employees in the corridor looked down and saw dozens of vehicles driving into the company square, the doors opened, and a dense crowd of transcendents stepped out, blocking the entire area.
It was at the same time that the group arrived.
Throughout the shelter, all of them received a notification from the Central Committee on their communicators, reminding them that it was forbidden to forcibly wake up players.
……
And at this moment, on the battlefield of the Peerless Domain.
Lin Tuo has also stepped into the battle group.
