For as long as she can remember, Yin Yin has lived in her own garden. She still remembers two years ago, when she was six years old, sitting on her father's shoulder and looking at the world outside the farmstead, and when her father asked her how she felt, she thought for a while, shook her head, and said that although the outside world was vast, it was still too far from the garden in the manor.

She remembered her father smiling and then saying something. She couldn't remember the exact words, but she remembered that soon the forest, the mountains, and the plains outside would all be part of the farmstead, and they would have a larger estate.

And by that time, she will go from being the farmer's daughter to being a princess of the kingdom.

At first she didn't understand her father's thoughts, until she later learned the word ambition from her governess.

But she was still puzzled by the fact that the idea didn't sound bad, and why everyone wanted to run away from it, so much so that her father had to take a child about her age hostage, who was still her friend.

Of course, this is just one of many confusions.

What puzzled her even more was that it didn't sound bad.....

But why, since that day, the outside of the fence is still the barren wasteland, and the inside of the fence is becoming more and more like the outside day by day.

When she opened her eyes again, she was greeted by a pure white space, with a soft light shining on her light eyelashes, but she didn't feel the slightest glare.

She looked around blankly.

I found myself in a pure white space.

"I..... Where is this?"

Unfamiliar voices seemed to drift from far away.

"Welcome to the Lord God Space."

Yin Yin was stunned for a moment, looked at the stranger who suddenly appeared in this space, and didn't come back to her senses for a while.

「..... What?"

"Ahem..... I'm sorry," In order to keep the atmosphere from being so heavy, Chu Guang was going to make a harmless joke, but as soon as the words came out, he remembered that it was impossible for people in this world to understand what he knew, so he coughed lightly.

Looking at those confused eyes, he straightened the look on his face and continued.

"This is the Sanctuary."

Yin Yin looked at him blankly.

"Sanctuary?"

Chu Guang nodded lightly.

"Hmm."

The confusion in her heart did not diminish in the slightest, Yin Yin looked at him nervously and asked cautiously in a whisper.

"That..... Who are you?"

Chu Guang continued in a gentle tone.

"I'm the administrator of the Alliance."

Intendant?

Yin Yin's face was dazed.

She'd heard of the League, and it seemed like she'd heard the word manager somewhere, but she didn't know what he did. Speaking of which.....

Am I not dead?

The white mist of memories gradually cleared through her mind, and she gradually recalled the last second before she closed her eyes.

In order to save her best friend, she stands in front of the lamb, and the bullet hits her in the back and passes through her.

The man walked up to her and was about to make a move, when someone seemed to suddenly come over and scuffle with the man, and the two of them fell out of the window together.

And then .....

There is no then.

"Lamb, she--"

Knowing what she wanted to ask, Chu Guang looked at her and said.

"Thanks to you, she's still alive and now protected by us."

Yin Yin breathed a sigh of relief.

After a long silence, her lips quivered slightly, and she squeezed a word out of her lips in a small voice.

"I...... Are you dead?"

Chu Guang was silent for a while, thinking about whether to tell her the truth, but after thinking about it, he finally nodded slightly.

"Hmm."

Yin Yin's face showed an expression that was indeed so.

To his surprise, however, instead of grieving, she relaxed her tense shoulders and smiled softly.

Although the smile was somewhat lonely and reluctant.

"That's what death feels like.....

She looked at her hands, looked up at the pure white ceiling, and said with a smile to herself, "It doesn't seem to hurt as much as I thought."

Chu Guang didn't know how to answer this sentence.

Most of his memories of death were only seen in dreams

Yes, maybe his little players will have more say.

After a pause, he decided to answer her previous question first.

"To go back to the previous question, your body is dead, but your consciousness is stored in a biomimetic chip.... It's called Sanctuary, and that's the space beneath your feet, and that's why we can meet face-to-face."

The memory in my mind was completely clear.

Yin Yin nodded as if she didn't understand, and after a moment, she lowered her head and said.

"Sanctuary..... Is it the place where the Son dwells?" Chu Guang nodded, and shook his head slightly.

"The person who has been communicating with you all this time is actually named Luo Gan, and he may tell you that his name is the Holy Son, but in fact the Holy Son is someone else."

Not angry at being deceived, she seemed to have anticipated his words, but just glanced around and asked with a hint of curiosity in her voice.

"Does he live in a place like this.....

"And he has lived there for nearly twenty years," Chu Guang nodded lightly, paused and continued, "He gave this place to you in the end."

"What about him? Where did you go?" Yin Yin's eyes searched the room, as if she wanted to find the person who had been communicating with her

of people.

"I don't know, that guy may have been poked in the sore spot by me, and he ignored me, and after he was done everything, he disappeared from this space."

Chu Guang looked at the center of the room, where there was an ordinary chair and the old man was sitting.

After a pause, he continued.

"There is no data on him in this chip, including the apostle..... I can no longer sense his presence, and I am more inclined to think that he may have given this world to you."

"Gave it to me......

"Hmm."

Yin Yin looked at him confusedly and asked.

"He..... Why do you want to do that?"

"Nobody knows, you're probably the only person you've ever spoken to as a human being, and I think you'll probably know the answer."

"That kind of thing..... How could I possibly know?"

Yin Yin hugged her head, with a hint of pain on her expression, "I also have a lot of questions I want to ask him, I said I would believe him, but why did he make everyone like that, what kind of heavenly kingdom needs to do those things to achieve, we ...... Can you not go there?"

By the time she was dying, she had figured it out.

Including why everyone became like that, including her father

Why did she die, including why did those people come to kill her friends...... But she wasn't smart enough to figure it all out.

If she had realized all this earlier, and realized who the real culprit was, she would have been able to tell her brothers and sisters who had reached out to her in time to tell her secrets.

Maybe those tragic things didn't have to happen, and the big brother didn't have to die to save himself and the lamb.

The only thing she was thankful for was one thing. She was standing next to the lamb.

At least at the end of her life, she didn't make the mistake of killing her best friend because of her blind trust.

「.... Choosing is something more expensive than surviving, from the Union Birthday

We've all been fighting for this power since we were born," Still couldn't stand the sad look, Chu Guang sighed softly and said in a soothing tone, "We'll try to make you walk in the original world, but it will take a little time, and it may have to trouble you to stay here for a while."

"If you think of anything, call me by name."

He was about to leave the space.

At this time, Yin Yin, who was holding her head, suddenly raised her head and stopped him.

"Wait a minute.....

Chu Guang stopped and cast an inquiring glance at her.

"What's wrong?"

"The fog ....."

"Fog?" Chu Guang frowned slightly, "What did you think of?"

Yin Yin nodded slightly, her face pale.

"I may remember..... What the hell is that fog?"

The man had told her. And more than once --

She recited the words softly in her mouth.

「..... The eternal kingdom of heaven will descend upon mortal lands when the gray mist rises, and all the creatures shrouded in heaven will return to eternal peace and serenity."

Chu Guang's pupils contracted slightly. He seemed to have guessed something...... Geumha-si.

A cold, dead city.

Gazing at the gray-green haze that gradually spread over the abandoned buildings and the setting sun that was gradually blocked in the distance, the embarrassment High Priest Gomore frowned slightly, and muttered softly.

"It's sooner than expected."

Standing next to him, Chi Garn said with a blank expression.

"Wouldn't it be better sooner?"

It's different from Golmore.

His eyes were fixed on the steel airship in the distance.

He wanted to know more about how to defeat that guy than the Torch Church's plan.

Even if the kingdom of heaven came to earth and made the sheep in the sheepfold more docile, they would still have to do so through foreign wars if they wanted to expand the size of their race.

The north side is undoubtedly the most desirable target.

I heard that there are hundreds of thousands of people in Boulder City, and it is surrounded by towering walls, which can be used as a natural pasture.

The problem, however, is that those guys have such a terrible weapon at their disposal.

Just hours ago, the towering steel beast had projected terrifying fire toward the west of the Pineca Farm.

Even after a dozen kilometers, he could still feel the trembling of the earth and the air.

Obviously--

The ferocious fire was directed at his commander Kuru.

To be honest, Garn didn't like those gods, after all, even if they promised them a lot of benefits, they were still old humans after all.

However, he had to admit that his tribe did need to rely on the power of those gods.

Compared to the old human civilizations that have accumulated thousands or even tens of thousands of years, the mutant civilization is still too young.

Only the wisdom of the old man can stand up to the terrifying power.

Occasionally, he also needs to compromise with reality.

Knowing what the leader was anxious about, Gomo sighed softly and said.

"I don't feel bad, the sooner the kingdom of heaven comes to earth, the stronger our dominion over the land...... I just wondered if it would be too rushed."

Garn asked, looking at him.

"What about that Luo Gan? Just ask him."

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Golmore's old face.

「.... I can't get in touch with him."

Garn frowned.

"Can't get in touch?"

The final "ritual" is about to begin, thick ash

The fog has spread to the city of Geumha, and soon the area, which spans tens of kilometers, will be swallowed up.

Can't even contact that guy at such a critical moment?

Gormore hung his head

Not daring to look at the leader, he whispered.

"Actually, it doesn't matter..... The plan is already in place, as long as it is carried out step by step, and it is the same for us to carry out the final rites."

Garn snorted and looked hatefully at the distant sky.

"None of these two-legged animals can be trusted.....

He swears.

Sooner or later, he's going to kill them all!

The area around Geumkawa City is like boiling water, and so is the official website forum of "Wasteland 0L".

When the brethren of the Jungle Corps brought the results of the chicken killer back to the forum, 666's reply immediately swiped the screen in the post reporting the results.

Although there are many frustrated and sad people in the casino, more of them are called experts and bullish melon-eating people.

Outlaw maniac: "Brother Chicken is awesome!! (Broken sound)" Less calf: "Twenty-one! It's too strong!"

Makabazi: "Not like a lizard, cat! (funny)"

Picking up trash level 99: "%¥#@!"

Tail: "Woo woo, envy crying! This! Tail also wants to change jobs as Astarte! QAQ」

Siss: "Touch Ah Wei, don't cry, don't cry. ヾ（··。 )」

Roshan Big Bun: "Hiss.... Is it two and a half meters tall and a tail with a shoulder width of one meter? I can't imagine it!"

Sighing sesame paste: "Ahaha..... The flesh will be crushed to death. (*_~_x)

Midnight Kill: "Shift to NPC coordinates, Boulder Engineer Ibs!" It's not blowing or black, it's really easy to use! (laughs)"

Picking up trash level 99: "Damn, you don't call me when you start a group!"

Xiao Xiaoxiao laughed at the bookworm: "You're not from our group, what are you calling for?"

Level 99 of Picking Up Trash: "Gan! Is it so ruthless?"

The strongman is embarrassed: "Damn, let this guy pretend to be alone!"

Voldemort: "Brother Mouse, what about your little brothers. (funny)"

"I have already picked it up, and it will only be a day before I resurrect the CD." (bared teeth)"

Voldemort: "6666!"

Speaking of this, there is a small episode, after the strongman turned into a light and disappeared on the battlefield, his younger brothers did not leave too far.

It's not because of loyalty to the boss, it's mainly because the rats are not taboo, and the leftover scraps of the mutants are cold enough to eat for a long time.

So, the rat brothers only grieved for a few minutes, and then feasted on the place where they died in the old battle.

And the day after the rats were eating, the bighorn rat that had just been eaten clean by them suddenly came back.

This trick of "resurrecting on the spot" directly made the rats dumbfounded, and they squeaked and bowed.

Although he couldn't understand what those rats were saying, it was difficult for the strongman to clearly feel that his image in the minds of the rat brothers was more sacred and majestic.

I wanted to be quiet, "But the fog hasn't cleared yet."

Night Ten: "I always have a sense of foreboding."

Quit smoking: "What a hunch."

Night Ten: "According to the routine of a general RPG, isn't there still a boss battle or something after clearing the miscellaneous soldiers?"

Quit smoking: "?! You're all down, don't crow's mouth!"

Irena: "Night Ten Perception System, I believe in Night Ten.

(funny)"

Fang Chang: "Well, I really can't rule it out, the Torch Church seems to be sensitive to our research on antibodies that inhibit the mycelium of Nago. If that mutant force is all their back, it would be a bit too hasty."

The mole in the canyon: "And it's weird.... It's really just the antibody carrier that needs to be removed, right? Is it really necessary to send an entire army of mutants?"

With such a fanfare, even if they arrived at the Pinecone Farm, the alliance would have enough time to send planes to pick up the key personnel

？

It would be better to send a few more Assassins.

Commander Spring: "Hmm..... It always felt like the fog was covering the mutants' march more like the latter was covering the former."

Night Ten: "What do you think it will be?"

Commander of the Spring: "How do I know that...... In short, the brothers who are still alive should be careful."

It turns out that although he died early, the crow's beak of Night Ten seems to have been fulfilled again.

According to the reports of players stationed in the area of Pinecone Farm, the local residents invariably entered a fugue state shortly after the fog was lifted.

And that's without the influence of the telepathic device!

Thankfully, the players had already covered the brainwashing of band 03 through that device, otherwise the disaster that happened last night would have to happen again.

Due to their preparations, the survivors mostly stayed at home, and even when they entered the fugue state, they only stood or sat motionless.

However, it is disturbing that the fog with a radius of more than ten kilometers is slowly spreading farther away, and by dusk, it has spread to the edge of the urban area of Geumkawa City.

The fog is thinning out and visibility is being restored, but the fog is getting wider.

Not only that, but the area where the spore clouds linger is no longer limited to the surface of the earth, but spreads into the sky, and even begins to touch the edges of the clouds.

That's what happened in Geumkawa City at the moment.

「...... It's like a pebble falling into the lake, the ripples are decreasing, but the contours are spreading from the center of the lake to the shore."

Aboard the Iron Heart.

After listening to the captain's explanation of the current situation, Chief of Staff Vanus, who rushed to the front from the rear, pondered for a moment and then expressed his opinion.

The captain frowned slightly

"What the hell are those gods trying to do?"

Chu Guang, who had been staring at the floor-to-ceiling window without speaking, suddenly said.

"I'm actually more concerned about something else."

Vanus asked, looking at him.

"What's the matter?"

Chu Guang continued.

"What is that eternal kingdom of heaven?"

Vanus fell into thought.

At this moment, the hatch of the bridge opened, and Frost walked towards everyone from the direction of the doorway.

「.... Our air crew's reconnaissance drones cruised about a few hundred kilometers to the south and photographed these things."

As he spoke, it handed a tablet to Chu Guang's hand.

Taking the tablet in Hanshuang's hand, Chu Guang looked at the screen for a moment, and a trace of surprise appeared between his eyebrows.

Patches of gray-green fog shrouded the ground, with only the occasional mountain and forest slipping through and not being swallowed up.

Farther south, the thick gray fog was like an impermeable wall, as if it had frozen the entire space.

From the outside, you can't see what's going on in the fog at all.

His brow furrowed slightly, and he asked, looking at Frost.

"Where is this?"

"To the south of Geumcheon Province, Haiya Province is located on the southern shore of the Central Continent. Our drones were attacked by signal jamming and electronic warfare when they entered the skies over Haiya Province, but our AI technology is even better, and we are back now."

When he said this, Frost's expression carried a hint of pride.

Controlling drones is her forte, electronic warfare is a solar eclipse trick, and a group of laymen are far from trying to get the plane they control by relying on the technology of the three-legged cat.

However, Chu Guang didn't care about these trivial matters, he had already learned the techniques of the Torch Church.

He was more concerned about something else.....

"When did it start like this?" Staring at the screen with a surprised expression, the captain standing on the side asked Chu Guang his doubts.

correct

Frost obviously couldn't have known, it was just an android, and shook his head in embarrassment.

Vanus, who was standing on the side, thought for a long time and spoke.

"I guess it should be these few months, when we are fighting the Legion, otherwise such a big thing would not be one

Not the slightest word of wind reached Dawn."

Chu Guang nodded.

"That's what I thought, too."

However, this is only speculation based on limited intelligence.

In fact, even if those gods had completed their plan a long time ago, they were more than capable of keeping the news on their own turf.

Judging from their way of doing things around Geumkawa City, they will initially promise some benefits to the local survivors, and only gradually leak their fangs when the local survivors are completely inseparable from them.

In the process, the plants and animals corroded by Naguo have spread all over the land, and the pervasive mycelium has eroded almost every inch of soil.

In addition to the influence of the telepathic interference device.

When the realm called the Kingdom of Heaven was fully unfolded in the land, the local survivors had long since become captives of the Church.

It is understandable that there is no news going out.

If it weren't for the fact that the alliance had a large number of merchants and mercenaries from the Jinchuan Province, and if it weren't for the fact that some players had already gone to the south, I am afraid that by the time Geumkawa City had completely become a part of the "Kingdom of Heaven", they would still be kept in the dark and know nothing about the affairs here. Chu Guang looked at the frost.

"What about the Council's opinion?"

"The Council thinks this is undoubtedly an emergency, and ....." Frost swallowed back the words in the middle of her words.

Chu Guang knew what the second half of the sentence she didn't say was.

All the suffering here is inextricably linked to the conflict a century and a half ago.

Even if Ideal City is not the direct cause of this disaster, as the descendants of the production department, they still have an unshirkable responsibility for what is happening here.

But now is not the time to hold anyone accountable. Chu Guang crossed over this heavy topic and continued.

"Our researchers believe that the release of spores is the third stage of the biological evolution of the Nago microbiota, and based on the results of existing experiments, it is inferred that infected people shrouded in gray fog will gradually enter a fugue state within 12~72 hours."

"People who have never consumed nato will also be slowly poisoned in this field until the immune system is broken down and eventually becomes part of this field..."

"And that's the nature of the kingdom of heaven."

If it was a voluntary choice for the survivors to swallow Nago at first, then the third stage of "Kingdom of Heaven" has nothing to do with the word voluntary.

The originally mild flora will forcibly stuff the spores secreted all the time into the respiratory tract and mouth of every organism.

Regardless of whether local survivors accept it or not –

The eternal kingdom of heaven in the mouth of the Torch Church will come. Organisms shrouded in heaven will lose all suffering forever, at the cost of losing themselves, living as seedbeds for the fungus to thrive, and being manipulated by psychic devices to do some simple work.

With the exception of the more powerful mutants, the chosen Apostles, and the gessomorphic lifeform they were designing, no creature could survive in this realm for long.

Until the technology of the Completed Lifeform is finalized, there is no doubt that this will be hell.

Looking at the frost with slightly dilated electronic pupils, Chu Guang continued.

"According to the conclusion of Heya's research, this gene is after all a fragment cut from the DNA of a mutant slime mold, and with reference to the mother nest in Qingquan City, the spores are essentially a medium used to transmit information, so it can be inferred that there must be something similar to the mother nest in this area."

The Sanctuary is a decentralized network without a core, but the Kingdom of Heaven that descends on earth is different...... That's a pseudo-utopia built purely by biotechnology.

The sanctuary that does not exist on earth is its essence

The core of God, and its physical core must be somewhere in this land. It's at the heart of everything --

It dictates to all the mycelium, so that this kingdom of heaven can be obtained

to sustain it.

Frost asked, looking at him earnestly.

"Where do you think it is?" Chu Guang looked at it and said.

"Most likely, it is the Champion Group's biological research institute in Geumhe..... What are you going to do?"

Frost said solemnly.

"I would recommend that the Council use strategic weapons to destroy it, and the harm caused by this research project goes far beyond the scope of regional hazards."

Chu Guang seemed to have guessed that it would say this, and sighed softly.

"The underground facility there is a nuclear bunker, like an unnumbered shelter, what weapons are you going to use against it?"

This was what he had seen in the memory of the apostle named Yule, the elevator was not ordinarily deep, and it took a while to reach the surface when standing on it.

Frost froze.

"Ahh

Without waiting for it to analyze the alternatives, Chu Guang took a step forward and continued.

"We need the artificial brood, only if we know it

can solve it. Our men will snatch it, but the mutants there will certainly not let us get hold of it easily, and I need the necessary support from you."

It seems that permission has been obtained from somewhere.

Hearing this, Frost didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement.

"No problem, we'll provide all the necessary support."

"This is not just a threat to you."

"It's ours too."
