On the green lawn inside the castle, hundreds of people in different costumes but with silver-white bracelets on their hands have gathered.

Ning He looked at it and was full of players. The players here were different from the previous dull ones in the square, and many of them showed obvious excitement.

They talked loudly and discussed the "crossing" in hearty laughter. Most of the people in this part are teenagers, while middle-aged and elderly people are more silent.

Ning He noticed that some middle-aged people were gathered in the corners of the shadows of the tall walls, and they looked at the figures standing on the wall overhead with worried expressions and their weapons in their hands, discussing something in a low voice.

He whispered to Zhu Yaotang beside him: "These people are all players, they all have bracelets on their hands. ”

Zhu Yaotang nodded, sighed and said, "Sure enough, it's as I thought......

"What?"

"Player." Zhu Yaotang said word by word: "One hundred nine thousand three hundred seventy one thousand one hundred and one hundred and twelve players, we have descended in the same world, this so-called World No. 1. ”

As he spoke, he glanced up at the towering wall, the gate of which had been closed when they entered. The iron-clad city gate can't get out anyway with them.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yaotang sighed in his heart, and explained to Ning He, who was still a little confused: "If a world suddenly has an extra billion people, what do you think will happen?" And this is still a society with backward productivity and in the feudal era, how can they deal with us players, I am afraid they can't even do the most basic food supply. Moreover, we are not good people, for the vast majority of players this is still a game after all, their actions and actions are not constrained by the world, and soon, the country will start to riot, there will be famine, and finally the social order will cease to exist. In our eyes, they are nothing more than a group of NPCs materialized in data, and in their eyes, we are nothing more than a group of 'strangers' who suddenly appear, aliens in human skin. Well, maybe the word virus is more descriptive about us now, and about the players. ”

Ning He shuddered, his voice trembled a little, and he asked knowingly, "Then what will they do?" ”

"The virus should be destroyed."

Zhu Yaotang lightly gave the answer in Ning He's heart.

"Wait, I can only hope that it is not a certain death."

Ning He silently glanced at the players on the lawn, as if he saw that not long after, the arrows falling from the wall pierced the flesh and blood, the tender green lawn was stained red with blood, and the corpses of the players who were talking and laughing a moment ago were all over the field.

And he and Zhu Yaotang also fell in a pool of blood.

“......”

"Smack!"

Zhu Yaotang's hand slapped heavily on Ning He's shoulder, and he was already middle-aged, grinning and smiling: "Don't panic, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and it won't let us die at the beginning, otherwise what's the point of this game of life and death?" ”

Ning He's heart warmed and nodded. A shadow crossed in the corner of his eye, Ning He's heart moved, he hurriedly turned his head, and Lin Ling, whose waist-length black hair was tied up by a simple red hairband, appeared in front of him.

Lin Ling greeted expressionlessly: "Hi." ”

"Lin Ling, are you here too?" Ning He stretched out his hand to say hello, but he didn't see Chen Yuan's shadow: "Isn't Chen Yuan with you?" ”

Lin Ling shook his head, "No, I just saw you and came to look for you, there should be only the two of us here." ”

"Hmmm......"

Ning He was a little disappointed, he saw that Lin Ling was still able to see Gu Ziqing, it was always better for everyone to support each other together, and he was also very worried about everyone's safety, especially Gu Ziqing's.

Everyone is a carbon-based organism, and if you don't do it well, you will suffer.

Like now, hundreds of them are trapped on this lawn, which is surrounded by walls, and they are like frogs sitting in a well, not knowing what is going on there.

Lin Ling and Ning He chatted for a few words and didn't speak, she was originally a cold person, and Chen Yuan was not around, and the whole person became even more unapproachable.

Zhu Yaotang glanced at Lin Ling twice, a very good-looking girl, but she was a little cold, and it seemed that she should be Ning He's classmate.

"You're classmates?" Zhu Yaotang asked in a low voice, not disturbing Lin Ling on the side, after all, it is not good to inquire like this.

"Hmm." Ning He nodded, and glanced at the red hairband on Lin Ling's hair that he had always felt abrupt, Lin Ling was standing sideways beside them, "We are teammates who are fighting together, and we happened to be swept in together." ”

"It's a pity, but it's also good to have friends, at least there are friends with you, and the chances will be a little bigger."

"Hmm."

Ning He was noncommittal, and he looked up at the wall directly in front of him. There were two entrances and exits to this lawn, one was the one that came in behind them, and the other was the one in front of them.

This was supposed to be an area of the castle that resembled an urn city, and he didn't know very well, but he could see the tall castle buildings and towers behind the walls in front of him, which was supposed to be the castle's theme complex.

He noticed a figure swaying on the wall above him, and a blond-haired Douglas Adams poked his head out, and he surveyed the crowd below.

It's a little noisy.

Douglas took a kingdom-style crossbow from a sergeant beside him, and his cold arrowhead reflected in the sunlight as he aimed it at the lawn.

"Whew!"

A crossbow bolt the length of an arm passed over the players, and the arrow sank into the grass, where the arrow was firmly inserted.

At the same time, the military on all four walls began to march in order.

The crowd under the wall was silent, and they listened to the neat steps that gradually grew larger, and there was a panicked look in their eyes.

It took a full five minutes for the sergeants to stop at Douglas's raised hand. He looked at the people under the wall, especially the disdainful looks on their faces, and he frowned in disgust.

Douglas said loudly, "My name, Douglas Adams!"

Glorious Knight of the King!

Knight Captain of the Holy Sword Knights!

The second heir to the Addams family!

Guardian of Ifrey! ”

Every time the blonde young man with a handsome face like a knife said his identity, the sergeants on the wall would take one step neatly, five sounds, five steps, and everyone under the wall was shocked inexplicably.

Ning He was also shocked, he looked at Douglas behind the battlements, his expression was serious and serious, without the slightest hint of joke.

"You guys! Outlander! Exile! Douglas continued, looking at the players with a hint of pride in his expression, "The great and holy kingdom of Io will give you a chance to be redeemed, and by entering through this gate under my feet, you will have the opportunity to become the people of the kingdom of Io!" Of course, you can also choose to pass up this opportunity and leave the kingdom of Io through the gate behind you. Give you five minutes to think about it, and those who stay on the lawn for five minutes do so at their own risk. ”

In the end, Douglas's voice became indifferent, and the two gates of the besieged city were opened by the sergeants at the same time.

The figure of Douglas disappeared from the city walls

Two doors, two paths, two options.

Ning He retracted his gaze, he looked at Zhu Yaotang with inquiring eyes, this somewhat sloppy uncle always gave him a very reliable feeling.

Zhu Yaotang looked at the people around him and motioned for him and Lin Ling to surround him.

"It's supposed to be a game option, but I don't know if it's two ways to survive or one. If there is a way to survive behind both doors, then it is obviously a choice of direction, either to join the kingdom or to go to other powers; If there is only one door that is the way to live, it is a matter of life and death, and the way to live can only be the door in front of it to join the kingdom. ”

Ning He nodded, and Lin Ling on the side thought for a while before slowly speaking: "From Douglas's words, we can know that they have long known about our arrival, so the direction choice is actually a little bigger, if it is going to kill us, now that we are dead, there is no need for them to waste time playing this trick with us." However, he is talking about 'the opportunity to become a member of the kingdom', and if we choose to join the kingdom camp, there should be trials and risks ahead. ”

Zhu Yaotang shrugged indifferently, "So what about your choice?" ”

During the conversation between the three of them, many people had already made choices, most of them had passed through the front gate, and only a few people walked out from the coming gate.

Ning He pondered for a moment, "I choose to join the kingdom, after all, this is the safest option. As for the rest of the matter, we can first familiarize ourselves with the world before making decisions, and the primary goal now is to live. And as Uncle Zhu said, one billion players, there is a high probability that this world will not be able to digest it... Maybe... There's only one way to solve this problem, and that's where our opportunity lies. ”

Ning He took a deep breath and spit out the two words in his heart: "War." ”

Zhu Yaotang and Lin Ling nodded at the same time, Zhu Yaotang looked at Lin Ling and stretched out his hand and smiled: "By the way, let me introduce myself, I am someone Ning He met in World No. 1, my name is Zhu Yaotang." ”

"Lin Ling."

Lin Ling replied with two words flatly, nodded with him, and had no intention of shaking hands.

Zhu Yaotang naturally retracted his hand and shook it on Ning He's shoulder.

"Since we have chosen, let's go too, the time is almost up."

"Hmm."

The three of them followed the crowd through the gate in front of them.

Passing through the gate, they were greeted by an imposing masonry castle, with a fountain between them and the castle.

The splashes of water and the sun formed a tiny rainbow around the pool, flanked by bluestone pavement wrapped in continuous greenery, and two rows of sergeants stood on either side.

Even Lin Ling, who was not shocked, looked at the scenery in front of him and lost his mind slightly.

They followed the flow of people along the road around the fountain to the steps of the castle, on which stood two rows of samurai in white cloaks, standing with their swords.

On the top of the steps, an old man who was as old and stiff as Gu Brown Mo stood with a cane. It's just that unlike Lin Chang Gu Mo, his body is gilded and layered in white clothes, which is unusually dazzling in the sun.

Standing behind him was none other than Douglas Adams, who had appeared on the wall earlier.

The crowd unconsciously stopped at the front of the steps, and they looked up at the two rows of white-cloaked warriors and the old man at the top.

Behind them, across the walls, the sound of crossbow bolts breaking through the air and a scream were blown away in the wind.
