Schmidt, the acting president of the American Community, walked into his office and motioned for his staff not to stand and salute, but simply asked, "Has anyone arrived at the teleport?" ”

"Not yet, Mr. President." The chief of staff replied, "After all...... The second phase has only been around for just over two hours. ”

"But we've wasted more than 20 hours before." Schmidt said melancholy, "So, what about the participants? ”

"There are still 76 people alive."

"It's almost half dead...... Schmidt frowned, looking at the big screen in the office, "I don't know if they'll make it." ”

Unlike the first phase of instant messaging and live video reporting, the second phase of the assessment was extraordinarily quiet—because everyone on Earth could only see the same picture, which included surveillance footage from the five teleportation points and a list of 126 people's avatars.

"The only thing we know for sure right now is that no one has yet reached the teleportation point on the first level," the chief of staff said distressedly, "and we've got most of the information on the 126 participants, but it doesn't seem to be of much use. ”

"Mostly? Not all? ”

"There are a couple of people who can't be found, and the Intelligence Agency thinks they're the kind of refugees who were born in the war, and maybe haven't even been genetically modified — you know, there's been a lot of them in the last 20 years."

Schmidt's face was not good-looking: "Then this kind of person can't help at all." ”

"Most people can't help." "More than half of them are civilians, but luckily — I know not to say so — because of the long war, there are more than 50 people trained in military affairs, including about 20 on active duty." This group also has by far the lowest rate of deaths. ”

Schmidt let out a long sigh: "But we don't know what's going on there...... Taylor, has Project Skydome been checked? ”

The Secretary of State was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted: "You mean, the ...... before the 'big eruption'"

"Yes, the 'one' that was sealed in 2107." Schmidt said, "It should still be able to start, right?" ”

"Mr. President, we're not sure if it will have the desired effect, and it could be a provocation to aliens." The secretary reminded that "the plan was sealed in the first place because of the unpredictable nature of the consequences......

"Of course not now." "But we have to prepare for the worst...... If all the participants were to die, would we just be here desperately watching the countdown to zero? ”

**********************

"Sky Dome...... Plan? Zhao Yu repeated, "Mr. William, are you sure that this plan is still valuable?" ”

"Mr. William," whom he called him, was a bald, big-bellied middle-aged man, sweat soaked through his high-end shirt, forcing him to tear off his tie and muttering something that looked like "treacherous politician" written on his face.

Christine hadn't given him a good look since he met him half an hour ago, but Mr. William obviously had the qualities of a politician, and after discovering that the three professional soldiers in front of him were all from the West Coast, he immediately realized that his status as a "former senator of the American Community" was not satisfactory, so he turned to desperately prove his worth: "Hey, you know what, there used to be a plan on the Union side......"

Of course, now this "Sky Dome Project" is also part of his betrayal organization.

"Yes, yes, I've had access to some of the information!" Finding that Zhao Yu was interested in this, Mr. William immediately came to his senses, "At that time, there were no West Coast Republics, no American Community, and Yellowstone had not erupted, it was still the golden age of the United States of America!" But that was the most ambitious plan the United States has ever had! ”

Zhao Yu looked at Gabriel, and the white-haired man simply replied: "I have no access to this information. ”

"You know, the so-called government, no matter how beautiful it says it is, will hide something in private......" Mr. William explained breathlessly as he tried to keep up with the footsteps of the crowd, "This is the case with the United States of America, since the interstellar war, although it has always said that it refuses to use extraterrestrial technology, it has never given up on the continued development and research of extraterrestrial technology, and has never been interrupted, especially the Sky Dome Project, which has always been the most important of these secret projects. ”

"Then why did they stop this reinvention five years before the eruption?" Christine asked.

Mr. William smirked: "It's not that they stopped—it's that they're done." ”

This time, everyone stopped and looked at the fat man.

"What the hell is that?"

Mr. William wiped his sweat: "I don't know very well...... Oh no, no, I mean, I don't know how this project works, but I do know what it does—it seems to be the ultimate weapon that can pose a threat to alien facilities, in case of tearing up the alien's face. ”

Zhao Yu looked at the other two, anyway, whoever knew more than himself: "What do you think?" ”

"The odds of success are very slim." Christine said bluntly, "The gap between the civilization of Earth and the people of Buttermins is so great that I doubt that they will be able to produce anything in a few decades, but it is just a beautiful misunderstanding." ”

"Makes sense, I'm also curious, where did they get the confidence to think that they can threaten aliens with this plan-" Zhao Yu suddenly paused when he said this, and Christine opposite him opened his mouth, using the shape of his lips to prove that the two of them thought of the same thing.

Triangular clusters.

If there really is such a lurker with ill intentions, then give some misdirection at the critical moment and make the R&D department misjudge...... It couldn't be more logical.

"Another example of falling into a pit under the guidance of a lurker......" Zhao Yu muttered.

"What are you talking about?" Mr. William asked blankly, but his attention was immediately diverted by something else, "What's that?!" ”

In the direction of his finger, several tall figures appeared. At this glance, Zhao Yu and Christine frowned together.

"Do you remember what it was?" Christine asked.

Zhao Yu smiled bitterly and changed the magazine for his rifle: "That freak face with completely misplaced facial features, it's really not easy to forget." ”

That night in Bodwell Town, this group of ugly-faced weirdos did put a lot of pressure on Zhao Yu, but now it is not what it used to be, now Zhao Yu has practiced his skills, and even the gray wolf can fight head-on, these so-called "bio-tuning type 5" will naturally not pose any threat anymore, not to mention that he now has enough ammunition, and there is an out-of-specification combat power Gabriel by his side.

"What the hell is that? What is that! Mr. William was so frightened that his legs were about to weaken, "Is it a demon!" ”

"Shut up! Honestly stay in the back! Zhao Yu scolded angrily, and then raised his rifle to the strangers who had already rushed over, "Gabriel, the weakness is the head!" ”

"Understood." Gabriel had already put on an aiming stance, only to hear the continuous sound of shooting from his side, and each shot would knock down a stranger, but at this time more strangers had already appeared far away, and Christine called out at that time: "Hell, it's a crowd tactic again?" ”

"Is this 'Biomodulation Type 5'?" Gabriel asked as he shot, "Is that the enemy you've ever encountered?" ”

"Yes, in a gloomy town!"

"It seems that the Ahmeds are still very rule-abiding," Gabriel commented, "and so far all that has appeared is the enemy you have encountered, or imitations. ”

"Is this still called following the rules? It's an infinite monster farm! Zhao Yu shouted, "What will happen if you don't follow the rules?" ”

"Then there will be the Amod civilization's own combat weapons." Gabriel replied.

Zhao Yu thought about it for a while, and felt that it was really scary to think about it, so it was better to stop there: "What, if it's an infinite enemy, let's not waste bullets!" ”

Gabriel agreed: "Yes, there's no need to waste bullets, and this way of spawning enemies is actually a hint of the target point, which we can use to determine the location of the waypoint." ”

"Where?"

"The direction they're coming from."

"Are you kidding?!"

"No, we need to rush head-on through the refresh point of 'Creature Adjustment Type 5.'"

"What the hell is the refresh point, how do you make it look like playing a game?! Could it be that the place where the enemy appeared in the examination room of the Ahmeds was still fixed? ”

"In the current exam, yes. It can't have more than 126 refresh points per layer, and I'm sure it's been used quite a bit before. Gabriel had already run over to more of the weirdos, "Follow me!" ”

Zhao Yu and Christine shook their heads helplessly together, Christine followed behind Gabriel, while Zhao Yu waved at William: "Follow us!" ”

"I can't do it!" William cried out with tears in his eyes, "I can't run!" Do you have a better way? ”

"Listen, we're going to save the planet, we don't have time to protect you, either you follow, or you pray that those weirdos will let you go, choose for yourself!" Zhao Yu turned his head to chase Christine and them, he didn't look back, because he had already heard heavy footsteps like panting like cattle behind him - it was impossible for Mr. William to wait for death in place, according to Christine, he was "the kind of person who would not hesitate to do it even if he needed him to eat, or if he wanted him to kill his family in exchange for a chance to live."

There are more and more "familiar faces". In addition to the "Creature Adjustment Type 5" weirdos, there is also a large group of disfigured faces similar to the original Gum to join this desperate chase, Gum's bullets can't be easily knocked down, Christine had to use the few remaining grenades, and Gabriel and Zhao Yu pulled out daggers, punching and kicking to fight their way through this chaos, if someone is watching from a high place, you can see countless weirdos like a zombie tide in a cheap horror movie from all directions, Then he fell to the ground under the attack of the three people in front of him, and was immediately trampled and drowned by more weirdos.

"If you can't go on like this, sooner or later you will die!" Zhao Yu shouted, "Gabriel, is this also called conforming to the rules?" ”

"It's in line with the rules, and we have a chance to take advantage of it!" Gabriel replied, "There must be something here for us too...... Find it out! ”

"How can you find it if you look for it? I don't even know what it is! Zhao Yu complained while flying his feet and kicked a strange man away, at this time they ran past a giant pillar, the giant pillar temporarily hindered the strange people's all-out attack, giving him a chance to catch his breath, at this moment, Zhao Yu's gaze inadvertently swept over the giant pillar, startling the whole person jumped.

There is a row of English letters on the giant pillar, and the writing is so ugly that it will definitely impress anyone.

“DAETH”。
