[Mission: Discography]

A random quest that doesn't even say what the specific reward is.

The "New Testament City" in the mission, Su Xia knew, was a very famous city in the Eastern Continent, with a population of several million.

His heart moved, and he clicked to pick it up, and the task appeared in the taskbar.

"Unexpected information ......"

Su Xia looked at the task description and thought for a moment.

It's a strange description.

What information will it be?

He slowly got up, walked to the window, and took the record from the pianist.

In this day and age, records are outdated, it is not convenient enough, and the required record player is difficult to carry around.

Only some nostalgic people like records, and they may sit in front of the yellowed glass window on a sleepy afternoon, looking at the swaying leaves outside the window, and slowly listen to the passing time.

"I'll try to bring it for you." Su Xia solemnly promised.

"Thank you."

The pianist smiled slightly, his expression softened, and thanked him exactly.

Then, with a flick of his fingers, he danced lightly on the black and white keys, continuing to play the soft repertoire.

Su Xia also returned to the place where she had sat before, a rusty metal staircase, slowly lying on the sloping staircase, closing her eyes, feeling the flow of music and time.

The waves outside the boat rise and fall, gently lapping against the hull of the boat, forming a soothing lullaby that complements the music being played by the pianist.

The night passed by......

Early the next morning, Suxia said goodbye to his pianist and headed inland for the great city called the New Testament City.

In the Eastern Continent, the patrols of the mechanical clan are much smaller, and the existence of mechanical creatures is almost invisible on the road.

The mechanical clan is divided into three camps, the middle continent is the deep diving camp, and the city of deep divers is in the sea, and someone broke the news on the player forum before, it is a giant metal ball.

On the Eastern Continent, there is the "sky" camp of the mechanical clan, and it is said that the headquarters is floating in the sky.

But Su Xia looked up for a long time, and he didn't see any air cities.

"Is it really in outer space?"

No one knows where the technology of the mechanical family has come.

If they could really build a city in outer space, Su Xia would not be surprised.

The customs of the Eastern Continent are different from those of the Central Continent, and the sense of wasteland here is stronger, and the deserted Great Plains are endless, with only a few roads across the Great Plains.

The wind and sand are howling, and the weeds are withered and yellow.

Walk along the road and it's deserted, with the occasional abandoned bar or two or two.

From time to time, some of the only shells of the broken cars can be seen abandoned on the side of the road, most of them have bullet holes on the surface, and some of them have rotten bones inside.

As far as the eye could see, everything was desolate, desolate and dead.

After flying for more than two hours, Su Xia saw a small town, but unfortunately there was no one for a long time.

The billboard at the entrance to the town has been tilted, the steel structure is rusty, and the broken advertising cloth is flying in the wind and sand, like a lonely person welcoming guests from afar.

There are a few dilapidated shops on both sides of the town, the glass of which has long been smashed, and the contents have been looted, and the empty shelves are covered with dust.

In such a deserted and broken place, Su Xia actually saw several players.

They seem to be wasteland lovers, cheering around town in modified vehicles.

"Woohoo—"

They laughed like free birds.

There are too many constraints in the real world, and only in the game can you be unrestrained and have a different life.

Most of the vehicles they drive are vintage cars or trucks, with obvious weld marks, exaggerated and grotesque looks, full of strong wasteland atmosphere, and almost every car has flames spewing from the back, which reminds Susha of the movie "Mad Max".

It has to be said that the appearance of the player also injected a touch of life into this barren world.

Su Xia continued to move forward, and the world in front of him gradually showed traces of human habitation, which were basically brought by players.

At regular intervals, players will find a gathering place or supply station.

That evening, he finally approached his goal.

New Testament City.

A bustling human city.

The city was a symbol of prosperity before the war, with high-rise buildings and a lot of traffic, and it was a city of money.

After the war, thanks to the geographical advantages and the psychological factors of the people, it also recovered quickly.

"It's finally here."

Su Xia looked at the big city in front of him, and had a feeling of returning to the real world from the wasteland world.

The mission target is at [27 Mott Street], which is about half an hour away.

Su Xia was not in a hurry, but scattered the nanobots, walking around the city while receiving all kinds of information.

The city is full of people and there are not many traces of mechanical creatures.

Half an hour later, the street sign of [Mott Street] appeared in front of him.

It's an old street.

The buildings on both sides of the street are very historic, different from the classicism that Susha had seen before, but in the Baroque style.

He counted the house numbers, walked to number 27, and rang the doorbell.

"Ding-dong."

After a while, the door opened.

The door was opened by a girl with curly blond hair, her skin was delicate and snow-white, and her facial features were very delicate, especially the pair of eyes, which were also as clear and blue as the sea.

She looked at Su Xia and asked softly, "Sir, is there something wrong?" ”

"Yes, I was asked to pass this record over to you." Su Xia took out the record and handed it to the girl.

"Is that him?" The girl blinked, as if she had thought of something, her eyes were slightly curved, and a hint of joy appeared in her eyes.

She opened the door completely and said to Susha, "Thank you, sir, for your help, please come in and sit." ”

"Okay."

Susha calmly walked into this old baroque house.

He's waiting for "unexpected information" in the mission description, and for now, nothing is unexpected.

He chatted with the girl for a while, trying to unearth some useful information.

The girl's family was simple, just her and her father.

Her father owned a fish shop, and he had been there for more than eight months to catch a very valuable fish, but he used a satellite phone every month to report her safety.

Now is the time to report safety every month, and while the two are chatting, her father calls back.

The girl apologized for asking Su Xia to wait for a while, and then answered the phone.

The conversation between father and daughter is very simple, and it is basically some daily topics.

Su Xia took advantage of this gap to scan the entire room, the room was full of ordinary things, which did not interest him.

"Strange, nothing is unexpected, the mission system can't go wrong, right?"

At this moment, the bell at the door rang suddenly.

Su Xia and the girl glanced at each other and shook their heads.

"I'll take a look."

Su Xia got up, walked to the door, and looked through the cat's eyes.

"Huh?"

Su Xia raised her eyebrows, and she saw an acquaintance.

Outside the door stood a young priest.

Previously, when Su Xia was in Conch City, when he and Yiyi's master Zhuang Ren dealt with the "Left Eye Group", he rescued a group of residents of the Eastern Continent who were abducted and trafficked to Conch City, including this little priest.

At that time, after being rescued, the little pastor kept thanking God, which made Zhuang Ren angry.

After all, people are what they worked hard to save, and the little priest actually didn't thank them, but thanked the things that didn't exist.

"It would be him, which I didn't expect."

Su Xia really didn't expect that when he first came to the Eastern Continent, he would be able to meet this little priest by coincidence.

He twisted the handle and opened the door.

Outside the door, the little priest who was about to ring the doorbell again was stunned and was about to say something, but when he saw Su Xia's appearance, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

"Ah, sir, how could it be you?" The little priest had a happy face, of course he remembered Su Xia, if it weren't for Su Xia, he might have died in the base of the Left Eye Group by now.

"Why can't it be me?" Su Xia asked with a smile.

"You're not still being ...... by the automatons"

The little priest shook his head and said no more.

The presence of this life-saver here naturally means that he has escaped the tracking of the automaton.

"It's so good, I've been worried about your safety these days, and I pray to the Lord every day to ask the Great Lord to bless you." The little priest said happily.

"You have a heart."

Su Xia smiled and asked him, "Are you here for something?" ”

"Yes, the young lady who lives here is proficient in translation, and in a few days there was an event where the Bishop asked me to ask her to be a temporary interpreter." The priest replied.

"The church still has activities?" Su Xia asked with a smile.

"Yes, these are special times, there are many heretical churches competing with us for believers, we must do more activities, widely disseminate the doctrine, let more people know about us, and let those believers who have gone astray know their way." The little priest replied.

"Well, come in."

Su Xia patted the little priest on the shoulder.

In the room, the girl's call with her father had ended.

The little priest explained to her what he was going to do, and the girl gladly promised that she would go in a few days.

After that, the little priest said goodbye.

Before leaving, he said to Su Xia: "Sir, you are a foreigner in this continent, and you are not familiar with life, if you need it, you must contact me, I have many people in the church, who should be able to help you." ”

"Hmmm......"

Su Xia thought for a moment, and then said, "There is indeed a need. ”

"What is it?" The little priest asked.

"I'm looking for someone, here's a picture of him, you've probably seen it before." Su Xia took out a photo from her arms, and it was her father.

When the little priest looked closer, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he immediately said, "Ah, it's this old gentleman, he has come to our church. ”

"He's been here?"

Su Xia's spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "When did he come?" Is it still there? ”

"The old gentleman came here a month ago, and he seemed to know the Bishop, and he talked to him for a while, and then he left, and he hasn't been here since." The little priest replied earnestly.

"Is your bishop still here?" Susha asked again.

"Yes, the Bishop has always been there."

"Take me to him!"

As soon as the words fell, Su Xia suddenly got a task prompt.

[Quest "Discography" completed]

[Quest Reward "Unexpected Message" has been obtained.]

That's right.

The arrival of the little priest was that unexpected.

After that, Susha and the little priest bid farewell to the maiden and went to the city's cathedral.

The bishop of this church was an old man in his sixties, with gray hair, dressed in a clergyman's robe, and looked very amiable.

When he learned of Su Xia's intention, he immediately invited Su Xia into the secret room at the back of the church.

After the exchange, Su Xia learned that the bishop and his father were indeed friends.

Daddy had saved his life.

Some time ago, Daddy approached the bishop with his team and wanted the bishop to provide him with cover.

The bishop immediately agreed, and used his connections and resources in the Eastern Continent to escort Daddy's team all the way and send them to a very special area - the Forgotten Lands!

"The Forgotten Lands?" Su Xia was puzzled.

"Yes."

The old bishop nodded, with a serious expression, and said to Su Xia, "It is a deserted urban agglomeration, which was abandoned after the war due to the contamination of radioactive elements, and only a few forgotten creatures haunt that area. ”

The old bishop handed Su Xia an electronic map.

On the map, the mountains, rivers, landforms, cities, towns, and power distribution of the entire Eastern Continent were marked in detail, so as to facilitate Su Xia's actions in the Eastern Continent.

The Forgotten Lands are just north of the New Testament City, in a wasteland of yellow sand.

That area is mysterious.

It is said that some people have seen humanoid monsters inside, while others have heard strange singing voices coming from inside.

There is also a legend that there is a race of "Freaks" in it, all of whom are humans contaminated with radioactive elements.

There are all kinds of legends, and there are different opinions.

Even the Machines didn't control that area, because there were no resources to exploit, and there were no normal human beings, and controlling it would only waste the Mechanics' already small amount of storage resources.

"The Forgotten Lands...... I don't know if Daddy is there, so let's go check it out first......"

With the map in hand, Susha said goodbye to the old bishop and the little priest.

He did not stop and immediately set off for the abandoned lands of the north.

After leaving the New Testament City, the bustling world gradually faded away, and desolation and dead silence returned to Su Xia's eyes again.

Su Xia's speed was neither fast nor slow, and after a six-hour flight, the [Forgotten Land] marked on the map finally appeared in front of him.

There are several large lakes here, which were the industrial pearls of the Eastern Continent before the war, and industrial cities were built along the lakes, and hundreds of chimneys rose from the ground, supporting the industrial economy of the entire continent.

But then, with the leakage of radioactive waste, the area was no longer suitable for human habitation, and people gradually moved away.

This area is slowly forgotten.

[Please note: you have entered the special map "The Forgotten Lands", which is contaminated with radioactivity, if you feel unwell, please exit immediately]

Su Xia's eyes narrowed slightly, and she landed slowly.

The area is windy and sandy, and howling winds weave between abandoned urban agglomerations, blowing away the prosperity of the past, and blowing with the naked eye decay and desolation.
