The bizarre disappearance of the Death Monitor Bird shocked everyone standing at the scene.

Whether it's a player, an NPC, or Chu Guang.

Yin Fang was the first to react, rushing to the place where the dead monitor lizard had fallen earlier with the fastest speed, and reached out to touch it on the ground.

Rubbing his index finger and thumb, his brow furrowed slightly.

The corrosive blood is completely gone.

However, traces of corrosion still remain on the synthetic floor.

In addition, the human tissue devoured by the dead monitor lizard also dissipated into the air along with the ethereal particles, as if assimilated by some unknown force.

What exactly is that power?

Yin Fang suddenly remembered what had happened in the previous experiments.

The researchers at the Seven Institutes tried to use a perforator to teleport a simple mechanical object such as a clock to the Creator Universe, but the direct transmission was unresponsive, but they succeeded when they put it on the monkey's body.

The gap created by the perforator in the membrane of the universe seems to be related to the subjective cognition of the teleporter. Although this understanding is somewhat idealistic, the facts they see do exist objectively.

Walking to Yin Fang's side, Chu Guang looked at the corrosion marks remaining on the ground and whispered.

"What the hell is going on with this thing?"

"I don't know, we have too few clues......" Yin Fang shook his head, and after a pause, he continued in an uncertain tone, "However, I do have a conjecture. ”

Chu Guang looked at him and motioned for him to continue.

Yin Fang paused and continued.

"Pioneer civilizations have referred to 'walls' and interpreted them as the existence of the universe and between the universe, and warned us to be careful not to put them out."

Chu Guang thought for a moment and said.

"You mean, this lizard is what's on the wall?"

"To be precise, it's a projection of something on the 'wall'. I don't think it has the ability to drill through a hole that is almost invisible, and we are probably dealing with the 'likeness' that it has through the small hole with some kind of force. Yin Fang looked at the thoughtful Chu Guang and continued seriously, "Of course, this is just my speculation based on logic, if the membrane of the universe is so fragile that even we who have just stepped out of the home planet can destroy it at will, it is impossible for this universe to survive until now...... Unless you believe that we are the only civilization in this universe. ”

This is obviously impossible.

After all, it was not long ago that they discovered the existence of the pioneer civilization, and even their understanding of the "void" was inherited from the pioneer civilization.

"The projection of the void creatures, it sounds weird and creepy," Chu Guang smiled faintly, "But the other side also seems to be afraid of us, so there's nothing to worry about thinking so." ”

Looking at the confident smile on Chu Guang's face, Yin Fang couldn't help but smile soothingly, and said jokingly.

"Of course it's afraid of us, remember what it just said? It has been to many worlds similar to ours. ”

"I guess it's not the first time it's kicked on the iron plate."

【The Seventh Research Institute of the Alliance Scientific Expedition Group, Experiment Log】

[Number:tAG.]

[Name: Death monitor lizard.] 】

[Description: It is a large lizard with an indefinite number of eyes on either side of its beak.]

Brutal and aggressive by nature, it is capable of destroying nearly half a meter thick concrete structure with only physical strength, breaking through isolation facilities with quasi-nuclear protection capabilities.

In addition to its extraordinary strength and thirst for hunting, the unidentified organism also has an almost unbelievable ability to recover and damage resistance, maintaining combat efficiency and recovering damage in a relatively short period of time even after being fatally wounded. 】

[Experiment Log: [Super Murder Regiment] Four fifth-stage awakened people launched an offensive against them with "company-level firepower", and invested in equipment including explosive guns, white phosphorus bombs, and individual bazookas, and finally only one survived.

In subsequent experiments, [The Administrator] took matters into his own hands, repeatedly destroying its body tissue, and concluding that there was a limit to the creature's ability to regenerate, and that multiple kills could kill it.

Five minutes after the lifeform was killed, the corpse debris vanished into thin air, manifesting as a blur and then disintegrating into small, invisible particles of unknown origin.

In addition, experiments have shown that the creature has a certain level of intelligence and language ability, but only shows a limited desire to communicate when faced with an invincible opponent.

】

[Note 1: The experimental facilities on the B3 floor of the Seventh Research Institute should consider the possible invasion of organic life and add physical sanitizing devices in the isolation facilities. 】

[Note 2: According to "tAG." Revealing information, it is suspected that there are multiple parallel universes. If this information is accurate, there is a suspicion that the "multi-layered nested structure of the universe" and the "creator" conjecture are inadequate. 】

……

The official website forum of "Wasteland oL" is as lively as ever today.

And as a group of players who participated in the mission of "Defending the Seventh Research Institute" went offline one after another, a message that shocked everyone's attention was quickly refreshed on the forum.

Choppy: "Big News!! The researchers of the Seventh Research Institute used the perforator to attract the Void creatures! Four 50-level brothers in our corps went down, but they were killed by three in an instant! ”

Enthusiastic little cannonball: "I testify!" As soon as the alarm sounded, the four rushed up to occupy the elevator, and Boom fed the big lizard for eight points. ”

Turning evil into good fortune: "Roll Nima's!" We also have output, okay? (Angry)"

Fierce and auspicious: "That's it!" Without our output foreshadowing, can managers give the opposite side a second with one move? ”

Irena: "If you don't add the latter sentence, I might believe it." (squint)"

The waves were turbulent: "Ahem, in fact, it's not as exaggerated as a trick second, I'm watching the whole time." The lizard's blood is not ordinarily thick, and Brother Guang killed half a tube of blood with two hammers, and died when he was the third or fourth time. ”

Quit smoking: "it?!" Can you carry Brother Guang's three moves?! So awesome?! ”

Night Ten: "Khan, I told them to take it easy, and sure enough, the new expansion was practiced." (embarrassing)"

Tail: "!! A new expansion is coming?! (⊙o⊙)”

Fang Chang: "It depends on whether there are any new accidents." (squint)"

Turbulent waves: "Speaking of which, this monster is a bit evil.,The corpses of the monsters that were killed before were all left in place.,As a result, this monster didn't even leave a single hair after it died.,It's like being wiped out by the server.。 ”

The fiercest tiger in the pond: "+1, I was also there at the scene, not to mention that the monster's hair didn't leave a single one, even the part of the dead player's body that was eaten disappeared along with it." (°ー°〃)”

Lao Bai: "Brand new game mechanics, sounds interesting. (bared teeth)"

Irena: "But I want the loot more, it's too uncomfortable not to explode." (Funny)"

Elf King Fugui: "Do you want to taste whether it's delicious?" (Funny)"

Irena: "You've found out. (Funny)"

Fang Chang: "Actually, what I care about more is not the fact that the monster disappears after death, but the new tAG. entry in the information card of the seventh research institute in the official website setting set, and a setting about 'parallel worlds' has been added. ”

Tempest: "Is there anything wrong with this premise?" ”

Fang Chang: "It's not that there's anything wrong, it's just that the content in it makes me a little concerned." I've been thinking about it before...... Is it possible that the wasteland of "Wasteland oL" will actually be a parallel world? And the content of tAG. is a kind of inspiration given to us by the game designers. ”

The originally lively post was unusually quiet for a while, and no one answered for a long time.

In fact, not to mention the melon-eating masses in the post, even Fang Chang, who knocked this line of words in the post, felt a bit outrageous, although this idea had been brewing in his heart for a long time.

This game......

Is it really just a game?

Sure enough, he's not alone.

At the moment when he updated this line of conjecture in the post, the people who came back to their senses and ate melons posted their opinions one after another.

In addition to the vast majority of opponents, a considerable number of people agreed with his conjecture.

Quit smoking: "? You mean Brother Guang is actually an alien? (frightened)"

Fang Chang: "I didn't say that, but it doesn't matter if he's an alien or not. Even if he is human, he can become the spokesperson of some alien civilization. ”

Raven: "This ...... How can it be! No matter how realistic this game is, it's still a little different from reality, right?! (°ー°〃)”

Jiujiu loves pineapple: "According to this statement...... Aren't those who die really dead, people other than us? (Weak Heart)"

"It sounds a little scary, but it's surprisingly reasonable...... The NPCs in this game feel no different from the real people, even if they are explained by artificial intelligence, they are inevitably too realistic. Well, a friend of mine told me. ”

Tyrannosaurus Warrior: "Call Professor Yang!" The delusional symptoms of this group of Internet addicts have worsened! ∑(?Д?)”

Tempest: "Hmm...... I can't argue with you, but I only have one question, how is this kind of thing possible? ”

Fang Chang: "Then I don't know, after all, by analogy with the world in the game, our current era process should be in the old era before the era of prosperity, and the technological generation difference is about as far as a south gate two." ”

Fang Chang: "And...... Don't you feel familiar with the morphographic field theory? Completing the message through resonance sounds like a game helmet......"

……

The discussion at the forum continues.

And it has gone from a discussion about the new expansion and game mechanics to a discussion about the nature of the game.

To be honest, Chu Guang knew that sooner or later, the young players of "Wasteland oL" would sooner or later realize that the world under their feet was not virtual, but real in some parallel universe.

Now, that day seems to be getting closer......

Union Building.

Manager's Office.

Looking at the hotly discussed forum on the holographic screen, the corners of Chu Guang's mouth couldn't help but curl up with a smile.

“…… There are still a lot of smart people, and it seems that we need to expand the establishment of the 'planning team'. ”

Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the table, tilted his head.

"Aren't Ah Guang and Xiaoqi enough?"

"Of course it's not enough," Chu Guang smiled and touched its little head, and said in a gentle tone, "The Wasteland Era is over, and we need to design a new game so that they can continue to play in the New Era." ”

The war in the Free State has come to an end, and the xenomorphs of the valley provinces are about to be killed as protected animals, and as the situation of "more people than monsters" gradually intensifies, this situation is spreading to other provinces.

In a short period of one or two years, or two or three years in the longest, the wild xenomorphs outside the hundreds of provinces on this planet will sooner or later be killed to extinction.

After all, it takes five or six years for a Deathclaw to hatch to adulthood, and the player only needs three days to get back on their feet and retain the Death Experience intact.

As the league's snowball grows bigger and bigger, order on the planet is gradually returning to normal. This is certainly a good thing for the survivors who live on this planet, but not necessarily for those who join the game later.

There are only two options at this point.

Either reduce or even suspend the issuance of closed beta qualifications, control the rate of new players, and reduce the proportion of combat professional players.

Or open up new maps and divert combat pro players to a whole new planet similar to Gaia!

Of course, Chu Guang was more inclined to choose the latter, after all, it was not his style to unload the mill and kill the donkey.

Now that the Alliance has established itself in the wasteland, it's time to lend a helping hand to its fellow citizens from another world.

Under the connection of the form-forming field, the two worlds can actually seek common prosperity!

In addition to this, the question about the new map, "tAG." 's experimental records also provided him with an excellent idea for solving the problem -

That is to find a habitable or relatively habitable planet, and move the Seventh Research Institute, the tree species of the Tree of Life, and the respawn points of some combat pro players!

Then use the perforator to continuously create new "Void Xenomorphs" and use them as wild monsters for players!

While this may sound like a bit of a death, it's a way to get the best of both worlds.

In this way, it not only solves the problem that players have nothing to do, improves the game experience, but also allows the researchers of the alliance to be more free of practice (death), which helps to enhance the understanding of the void in human civilization.

What could be a more perfect idea?

Maybe.

But he couldn't think of anything better for the time being!

Just as Chu Guang was secretly having fun, a murmuring murmur suddenly came from a corner of the office.

“…… It is inconceivable that a young civilization that has just stepped out of its home planet has actually comprehended the mysteries of the void. ”

The sound of the soo is like the grinding of leaves outside the window, and it may not be heard unless you pay close attention, or even if you hear it, it can easily be regarded as an auditory hallucination.

But—

The faint sound did not escape Chu Guang's ears, and a pair of sharp eyes quickly shot to a corner of the room.

"Who?"

Seeing Chu Guang's sudden movements, Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the table, was startled, and quickly turned his head to look behind him, but saw nothing except the bookshelf.

“…… Master? There...... Anything about it? With a worried expression on his face, Xiao Qi said nervously.

The sonic trap is well connected, and it can be confident that there was no sound just now.

Not even a single decibel vibration.

However, Chu Guang didn't look away, just stared straight in the direction of the bookshelf.

The voice was silent for a while, and then came after a long time.

“…… I? Can you see me? ”

There was a hint of surprise in his voice, as if he had seen something incredible.

To be honest, Chu Guang couldn't see the guy muttering to himself.

But he did perceive that a pair of eyes were looking at him from a certain direction.

The gaze contained no kindness or malice, and all it could do seemed to be to look.

Chu Guang's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he suddenly realized the identity of this guy.

"You stole my pen?"
