In the second half of the first night, under the watchful eye of six people in shifts, nothing came to an end.

In the morning, the sun rises normally over the horizon, smoothly through the layers of dense forest, shining on the tired people on the mountainside.

"Surprisingly slept well last night." Guo Qu is quite satisfied with the quality of his sleep.

Except for the last one in charge of the vigil, the others climbed up one after another.

"What's wrong with the ants?" Guo Qu raised his foot and kicked on Xiang Mayi's body.

Xiang Mayi, who fell asleep on the ground, heard Guo Qu's voice, but the whole person struggled like a small insect stuck in a spider's web.

"I'm still in bed~Puff~Ants are so cute~" After washing, laughter came from the forest.

"Damn, this is not a bed! Something controlled my nerves! Xiang Mayi shook his head vigorously, opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he couldn't say it, only kept shouting in his heart.

His heart pounded, and the sense of foreboding made him instantly fall into the fear of death. SCO hackers don't know if they will burn their brain cells directly through the terminal of the simulated world, or if they just control their own bodies. Hurry up and find out what's going on!

"No, this guy may have fallen for illusion!" Hua Xiaoman exclaimed.

Ah, Xiaoman, you still know me......

"Illusion? How could it be...... I got it! Many people woke up after hearing Hua Xiaoman's words, and noticed the strange air currents radiating from them. After all, she is also a master of illusion, and she couldn't be better.

Although Xiang Mayi's eyes were closed, he could feel that the optic nerve had captured a little change in light, but he still felt unable to move.

"Two minutes ......," a lot of struggling voices came.

Fischer seemed to be tapping on the light board as he spoke, "The letter I submitted to the administrator yesterday was completely unanswered. Now connected to Xiang Ma Yi's light plate, his nerve connections are a little abnormal. I can help him stabilize the data flow temporarily...... Just two minutes. I can't guarantee more. ”

Steady data flow?

"Oops...... Are those hackers really ready to burn my brain? They probably knew I was just a Muggle when they hacked in. Damn! It's too much of a deception! Uneasiness entrenched in Xiang Mayi's heart. It's just too bad.

Two minutes, two minutes, Xiang Mayi could only hope that many of them would be able to save themselves in these two minutes.

It was like being thrown in a pan of oil and whirling around for two long minutes. I want to break my fingers and point for a second, but I can't even move my fingers.

Damn it! Why am I a Muggle!

Feeling his body like a mess of mud falling to the ground, such a sense of powerlessness doubled Xiang Mayi's pain again.

"Ma Lao, the situation is very bad now." Colya tapped the frame of her glasses with the electronic pen in her hand, and kept staring at the dense screen full of codes to Ma Shanshang behind her.

Ma Shanshang's face was not very good, and he stared at the screen tightly. Gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't expect that thief to hold a grudge like this." ”

Thieves? It's just that the meeting was made a big fuss, but it was controlled by Xiang Ma Yi with neutralization, and he suffered a blow from Ma Shan's roast suckling pig fist (it's not called that!). The thief with infinite teleportation.

Why do you even know this?

Because when the Superpower Academy found out that the simulated world was invaded, they launched a quick pursuit. It's a pity that when I broke the opponent's defense, I only saw a message. The content is: "Yo, Ma Shanshang, I heard that your 'neutralized' Mr. is here, and I will help you take care of him." Just as he took care of me with you that day (laughs.) ”

Ma Shanshang felt a tingling in his heart. SCO had hacked into the simulated world a day earlier, but was undetected. And now there is not even the ability to get everyone to exit normally and safely. If they really want to attack Xiang Mayi, he really doesn't know what the outcome will be.

Ma Shanshang's body seemed to be imprisoned by something, just like the illusion that Xiang Ma Yi fell into, and this feeling couldn't struggle.

###

Just a minute and a half passed like a snail crawling. Many are still working hard, and the sweat on their bodies is constantly low. Looking at Xiang Mayi, he was also a little anxious.

Xiang Mayi's mouth opened slightly, and he was still breathing a little. Even though this is a simulated world, even breathing is just data, but the feeling of stopping at any moment worries everyone.

"Is it really okay to be silent like this?" Suddenly, a piercing question came from the depths of his soul.

"Y-Who are you?! Are you a hacker for SCO?! Xiang Mayi reacted strongly and asked rhetorically.

"Hahahaha, you actually think so? You know, your biggest opponent has always been yourself. The playful voice faded away.

Xiang Mayi trembled, his brain was like a bottle of paste that had been stirred, a little hot, a little sticky and unable to move, a little painful.

"Ah!!!h

"Xiang Ma Yi! Wake me up! Hua Xiaoman scolded loudly.

Xiang Mayi's body trembled again and sat up. Panting for breath, like a survivor who had just held his breath in the sea and was almost drowning. Staring at the red eyes, shouting all over, his hands on the ground trembling and unable to raise his head for a while.

The companions around him were silent and did not speak, watching Xiang Mayi slowly gasp. They didn't know why Xiang Mayi had fallen into illusion. I don't know why he couldn't break free even though he knew he had fallen into an illusion. Of course, I can't understand why it is so difficult to break away with the help of many people.

Until Xiang Mayi eased up and slowly raised his head.

The sunlight was soft, and it fell on Xiang Mayi's face through the gaps in the leaves.

Squinting his eyes and closing the focus, the other five people were standing beside him. His face was full of questions, but no one spoke.

Xiang Mayi smiled bitterly, and consciously gave his own conjecture: "SCO...... SCO has invaded the analog world...... They, they're up and down for neural connections! Once the nerves are relaxed, they may be attacked. ”

Fischer nodded: "Checking the information of the light board is also the answer, and we have completely lost contact with the outside world, and it is likely that we have become a hostage of SCO." ”

Hostages? But what does SCO want to do with so many hostages in the analog world?

Xiang Mayi thought as he slowly stood up.

At this time, Hua Xiaoman on the side handed over a towel.

"Thank you." Xiang Mayi smiled embarrassedly and took a towel to wipe his face.

Hua Xiaoman's face turned red, but she immediately raised her face seriously, then turned her head with a snort, looked at the destination that was as empty as air in the wide field of vision, and said, "It seems that we can only go in that direction." There is no way back, and you must fight against the rude people of SCO. ”

No way back?

Xiang Mayi subconsciously glanced back.

"Heavenly ...... This...... What the hell is this...... What the hell is going on?! "There are no woods behind Xiang Mayi, no boulders, only an ocean, what is the difference between this and the initial picture of the small team mission?

It's just that I slept all night, I just overslept for about five minutes, and the edge of life and death that I experienced first, and now I am thrown back to the starting point?

"The tsunami swallowed up large swaths of land. This should be the initial setup. It's to force us to move towards the center. There is no way back. Guo Qu patted Xiang Mayi's shoulder, which happened after Xiang Mayi's night was over.

"I see." There was already an extra heavy component in Xiang Mayi's tone. If this was just a summer camp mission, it would be nothing if all of them were submerged in the sea right now. But SCO got involved. It's unusual from the fact that they're going to do something about neural connections, but what exactly are they for?

"SCO is pressuring, threatening. At the same time, they are training their people. Fischer said with a sudden squint. The lenses of the glasses on the bridge of the nose flashed, and he looked confident.

"The people who train them? yes, most likely...... Now that it is analyzed, SCO may really have to make a big move. Naturally, it is also extremely important to nurture their new talents. Xiang Mayi had several things in his mind one after another.

Guo Qu looked at Fischer and Xiang Mayi with a surprised expression, and suddenly thought of something: "Do you have any internal information?" ”

Xiang Mayi and Fischer glanced at each other. Yes, but I'm not sure if they're from the same source.

Guo Qu saw that Xiang Mayi and Fischer didn't explain for the first time, but glanced at each other, and was very suspicious of wanting to make a serial confession, and immediately became unhappy: "Hey, hey, you two, I have all the information I can tell you, you guys!" ”

Speaking of this, he thought of something, and immediately looked at the origin of the wood: "Is it the channel of the four major families?" Say it! ”

Seeing that Guo Qu looked like he was about to go crazy, Mu Zhiyuan nodded: "I don't know if it's internal information." But I know a couple of big things. The first one is that at this year's final meeting, SCO sent a battle post from the 80th floor of the final time zone. ”

"I know about the war post, but aren't many people saying that SCO is just a bluff? Even if we're only up to the 74th floor, how can they be faster than us? Guo Qu seemed to have "if you don't give information, you will die", and now that he heard the information, the whole person calmed down as if he had taken medicine.

Xiang Mayi also decided to share what he thought with you: "Although many people thought it was a bluff at first, no one dared to say that they absolutely knew the time zone of the end. So, it's not uncommon for them to jump through a few floors and suddenly appear on the 80th floor. Also, it has been very unusual since the sudden appearance of the SCO people at the final meeting, and they would not have participated in previous years. ”

"Wait! Ant, you ......" Guo Qu immediately interrupted when he heard this, and pressed his hands on Xiang Mayi's shoulders.

"Huh?" Xiang Mayi trembled, and knew that he had no way out from a certain point of view, maybe it would be good to talk about the bionic equipment at this time?
