Chapter 253: Clues (2)
"My plan is simple, which is to enter the second layer of the underground tunnel."
Kent looked at everyone: "The straight-line distance between the second floor of the underground network and the surface must be less than 1,500 meters, as long as we are cautious, we can not only complete the task safely, but also arrange the blasting device underground."
If all goes well, these mutant infected people will give us a lot of points! ”
......
Looking at all this in front of him, his silent face gradually became solemn.
While a few people were discussing countermeasures, he suddenly looked at Wei Zi and said in a deep voice, "Are they in the dungeon area, or in the normal world?" ”
Wei Qi's brows furrowed, and she said strangely: "Of course it's a copy, when did the system release a mission in the normal world?" How did you get that idea? ”
"You didn't notice what they were talking about?"
Silent frowning: "They just mentioned infection, infected, mutant infected, severely mutated infected, and bloodsucking.
Don't you think this is very similar to the real world mentioned in Arthur's message? ”
"This ...... Maybe it's a coincidence! ”
Vichy said with some uncertainty.
Bu Yu shook his head: "I don't believe that there is such a coincidence, since Arthur has left this information, it must have his meaning."
I'm afraid this image is not as simple as it seems......"
.......
"This is an underground map of Pennyworth's neighborhood, and those underground tunnels have formed a network."
In this room, Kent and the others found two computers.
One for home, one for a laptop, and luckily both computers worked and the internet in the house worked.
Judging by the dust that has accumulated in this house, it should have been idle for a long time. These hardware devices can still be used, which makes Kent and others show a surprised expression.
After Kent and Prince's explanation, everyone understood how difficult the mission was.
This clearly wants them to go directly into the nest of the intoxicated, and it is the core of the nest.
If they slip the bone, they will be attacked by hordes of infected people, or even by the military.
It's still lucky to die directly, in case you are pulled to do something to store blood banks, or passively become a mutant infected person, and become a ration for a severely infected person, it is simply worse than death.
Because of this, everyone immediately began to search for the distribution of underground tunnels throughout the city.
Luckily, there are two computers working and the internet is still functioning, which is the luckiest thing for them.
After some operations, everyone quickly found the distribution map of the city's underground network, and even the time of underground vehicles, as well as the morning sun shelter area.
"This is simply a civilized society with a whole set of order."
Kent was shocked: "It's only been two years since the outbreak of the virus, but their civilization has surpassed that of humans, at least on the surface. ”
The rest of the people looked at the city's underground tunnels shown on their computers.
When they heard this, they all looked at Kent in amazement.
White asked directly: "So, Mr. Kenkent agrees with the society and civilization of the infected?" ”
Hearing this, Kent smiled: "This has nothing to do with agreeing or disagreeing with anything, it's just that in essence, this infected society is complete and has order, that's all." ”
White frowned, and the rest of the people looked puzzled.
Kent looked at the crowd, he smiled and shook his head, but didn't explain anything: "Guys, shall we clean up the room first, and then find a place to have breakfast?"
We still have a whole day to discuss countermeasures in detail, and we are not busy at this moment.
Grab a bite to eat, take a break, and discuss tonight's actions...... And what I just said. ”
In any case, the crowd was indeed hungry.
In this way, half an hour later, everyone sat around and had a breakfast that was not very rich.
At the end of this breakfast, Luthor retrieved two bottles of red wine from his room and poured a glass for everyone.
Only then did Kent smile and say, "I know you have doubts in your hearts because of what I said earlier.
Well, I've always thought that suspicion or contradiction is just a relationship due to insufficient communication, so now I'll explain what I just said......
First of all, what do you think is an orderly civilized society?
Does it have to be human?
No, an orderly civilized society only needs to have a civilization subject that can be continued, and the continuation of life that exists as part of this inheritance.
Take, for example, human society.
As long as there are people and there is a human civilization system, the combination of the two constitutes the current civilization order.
And now, these infected people have done it all. ”
The rest of the people were dumbfounded, and White tried to retort several times, but nothing came out.
Only Prince took it for granted, as if she already knew what Kent was trying to say.
Speaking of this, Kent directly showed the laptop in front of him to everyone: "This is the page of the city's execution system that I hacked through internal code when I was having dinner just now, you can take a look." ”
Hearing this, everyone looked at the laptop, which showed the attack on the infected person and the precautions taken against the incident.
Kent continued: "The vast majority of infected people are lurking in the underground tunnels of the city, and as the number of attacks on the Awake continues to increase, so does the number of mutated infections among the infected.
Except for a small number of these mutant infected people who were besieged and killed, the rest fled into the network channel on the second basement floor, which is the network map drawn by the infected executive, but it is not complete......"
As Kent kept tapping on the computer, a huge 3D map soon appeared on the screen.
From top to bottom, there is the danger zone on the ground, the underground express and passage area, and then the three-story network underground, and there are many more unknown areas downward.
In fact, as can be seen from this map, the size and width of the underground network far exceed the ground and passage areas, which is almost a huge underground city.
All but Kent had a shocked look on their faces.
Luthor was even more incredulous and said, "How is that possible? The complexity and enormity of these underground tunnels ......
This is impossible, no city can build such a large and complex underground network in two months, this project is more than ten times larger than building a city, this is an underground construction......"
"Yes, that's a big doubt......"
Kent nodded, with a solemn look on his face: "It stands to reason that no human would build such a network under the city, because they would not come here to live at all.
However, it is reasonable to change to a city with an infected person, after all, the infected person will not see the light.
In the process of the infected gradually replacing humans, they must have such and such worries, so they will build such underground tunnels, this reasoning is reasonable.
But it's still that problem, it's only been two years since the beginning of the virus outbreak. In terms of time, there is absolutely no way for either humans or infected people to complete such a project. ”
Speaking of this, Kent felt a little uneasy in his heart: "If you want to complete such a project two years after the outbreak of the virus, there are only two possibilities!" ”
"What?"
Prince was visibly aware of something, but he couldn't believe his reasoning.
Kent took a deep breath: "One, someone knew in advance that there would be an outbreak of this virus, and then started building these underground networks at least ten years in advance. ”
Prince shook his head and affirmed: "This is absolutely impossible, this virus is spread by a monster created by the system, and it is impossible for anyone to know in advance." ”
"Then there's only the second possibility."
Kent said with a solemn expression: "These underground pipes are directly refreshed by the system. ”
White's brows wrinkled together: "But...... Why did the development team do this? ”
"Remember...... Is there an orderly civilized society that I just mentioned? ”
Kent looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Perhaps...... The system is ready to build a new civilization system again. ”
Hearing this, everyone fell silent instantly.
After a moment, Luthor smiled reluctantly, "This...... Unlikely.
After all, we still have a lot of unfinished dungeons so far, and this civilization system is not at all to the point where it needs to be overthrown and restarted. ”
"No, it's not completely impossible!"
Prince looked at everyone: "Have you forgotten the purpose of the development team to create this world?" ”
"To create the strongest?"
Luthor replied subconsciously.
"That's right!"
Prince nodded and continued: "Although the dungeon has not been completely cleared yet, there is already a supreme powerhouse who meets the requirements in this world!
No, it should be said that he is more powerful than the strongest, he is - Arthur! ”
Hearing this name, everyone's expressions became unnatural.
After a few moments, Kent suddenly rubbed his face with his hand and ended the topic.
"Okay, that's the end of the conversation. Let's finish the task at hand first, right? ”
Hearing this, everyone's eyes converged on Kent.
Kent also smiled: "As long as you follow my plan and carefully complete the tasks I have assigned, then ......
Not only can we complete the mission, but we can also earn a lot of points......"
......
"Depending on the situation, the relationship between the development team, the players, and the awakened is far more complicated than we imagined!"
Bu Yu reached out and rubbed his head, his face was gloomy as if he could drip water.
As he spoke, he looked at Vichy: "You...... What do you know about the development team? ”
Weichy shook her head in confusion: "Actually, I don't know anything about the development team.
All I know is that they can change the rules of the world, but they can't change the skills of existing Awokens and players!
And...... They don't seem to have the right to directly erase the Awakened or the player. ”
"Huh?"
Silent brows furrowed: "What do you mean." ”
"To put it simply, they can modify the power of their skills. However, players or Awakened Players who have already learned the skill before they modify it will have the same power and will not be affected in the slightest. ”
Wei Qi looked silent: "For example, if you learn a vector operation, you can rebound A-level skill attacks when you reach A-level.
However, later the development team modified the skill power and lowered the skill power by one level. That is, an appropriate amount of A-level operations can reflect A-level skill attacks.
However, since you learned the skill before you modified it, the power of your skill will not be affected.
The same goes for increasing the power of your skills. ”
Bu nodded silently, and suddenly, he seemed to remember something: "No, those participants just now clearly mentioned that if they can't complete the task, they will be punished for erasure, what's going on?"
Didn't you say that the development team doesn't have the right to directly erase the participants?
And also...... What's the matter with the strongest ones they mentioned? Isn't it easy for them to create a supreme in the game?
And what is the point of them doing this? ”
Wei Qi shook her head, with a puzzled expression on her face: "This ...... I don't know. ”
......
The other side.
After O'Connor agreed to the request of Zheng Heng and the others, he took them to the hotel where he lived, a place that looked like a residential compound.
O'Connor seemed to be a regular customer here, and as soon as he entered the inn, he struck up a loud conversation with a blonde youth.
The general meaning is: Brother, I ate in prison for a few days, I was so close not to be hanged, and I finally came back today. Seeing that you kid is living a very nourishing life, I feel unhappy or something......
After some rhetoric, O'Connor turned his head to look at Zheng Heng and the others and said, "You guys stay here first, and I'll take care of some personal matters!" ”
Xiao Yuqi glanced at Zheng Heng, Zheng Heng's heart moved, and said to O'Connor: "I'm sorry, we are responsible for your personal safety, so we must follow you." ”
O'Connor looked at Zheng Heng and the others with a strange expression, and then he sighed: "I'm going to the black market to buy some guns and ammunition, if you want to follow, just follow."
I promised the woman to go to Giza Harbor tomorrow morning to find them, and it would be very unsafe to go to the black market in the evening, and I didn't want to be killed there......"
After nothing to say, the group soon followed O'Connor back to the inn.
This man was like a snake in Cairo, and he easily exchanged a few gold bars for a large amount of cash and small gold coins.
Not only did I buy myself a large bag of weapons, but I also bought a few new clothes and leather shoes by the way.
When he and Zhang Heng and the others returned to the hotel, this hearty man was no longer as restrained as before, but talked and laughed loudly with Zhang Heng and them.
Although this inn is not large, it has very complete facilities, and everyone applauds the Egyptian-style meal at dinner.
O'Connor then talked to the crowd about his years as a soldier, especially how he and his troops had come back from the desert after they broke into the capital of the dead three years ago.
And after hearing him mention the capital of death, Zheng Heng and Xiao Yuqi's eyes lit up.
Since he mentioned it, it shows that there is not much difference between the overall plot and the development of the movie, and this is where their advantage lies!
