Chapter 40: The Boundary Between Virtual and Reality (2)
"That is, our regiment leader is nicknamed Fire Phoenix, and the fireball technique is only the most basic attack ability, and there are only a few people in the entire base who are more powerful than her." Nurse Luo Tong said proudly.
"Fire Phoenix, listen to a nice nickname. You're a nurse, how can you be so familiar with combatants and have some crappy support skills? Bai Yan was a little puzzled.
"Crippled, where is lame, you can tell me clearly......" Nurse Luo Tong was anxious and wanted to come over and kick Bai Yan, but was stopped by the head of the regiment.
"She was also a candidate for our team, but because of her lack of ability, she was transferred to logistics." The fire phoenix pulled Luo Tong and said.
"Sister, you don't want me to join the combat unit, I obviously learned to assist, you have to test my attack ability, and let me set fireballs." Luo Tong muttered and complained, it seems that the two of them still have other relationships? Bai Yan thought with some gossip.
"Commander, it looks a little dangerous ahead, I'll reconnoiter the terrain." Lao Zhang put down his backpack, tinkered with the equipment from it, and after a while, he took out something like a bionic dragonfly and a hand-held PAD. Bai Yan didn't pay attention, Lao Zhang also carried a bag when he came out.
Bai Yan looked at Lao Zhang, through a burst of operations on the PAD, the bionic dragonfly flew up, and a string of scanned red beams appeared on the dragonfly's lower abdomen, passing through the passage on the side of the boulder, and entering the space behind, Bai Yan looked at the map that was constantly drawing on the PDA as the reconnaissance dragonfly advanced.
Bai Yan continued to remain in the "online" state at the moment, through the Demon Lord's mark, he could use some reconnaissance skills, and after the passage in front, Bai Yan saw the name of the map behind him "Nightmare Jungle", marking the place where level 30 monsters haunted. Bai Yan maintains a level 25 skill level at the moment, although many equipment cannot be used due to space limitations, but the physical body is a lot stronger, and the basic assassin skills can still be used, and there is also an unusually powerful fire phoenix, as well as not very reliable assistance, it is estimated that it should be okay to clear the customs.
Bai Yan wanted to see the map of the area behind the passage through reconnaissance techniques, but it seemed to be all fog of war, and he could only perceive the distance of more than ten meters behind the passage. But looking at Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang's reconnaissance dragonfly is quite effective, in less than 5 minutes, an area of about 10 square kilometers has been detected, and the terrain and landform and the distribution of living creatures in it are all marked on the PAD.
Lao Zhang found an open space, put the PAD on the ground, and then operated a few times, and a projected three-dimensional map was immediately displayed in front of everyone, which seemed to be quite advanced in the equipment of national security.
"Look, there are cliffs on both sides of the front, and in the middle is a shrub jungle, the average width is about 1 kilometer, and the length is nine kilometers, after walking through the bush jungle, there is a narrow valley at the end, and if you walk along the valley for another three or four kilometers, you can feel the singularity energy fluctuations, and we can go there to find out if we can find an exit." Lao Zhang pointed to the map surveyed by the reconnaissance dragonfly and said.
"So what's the bright spot in the jungle?" Bai Yan asked, pointing to the bright spots on the holographic map, which were still moving slowly.
"These are unidentified creatures, and there seem to be hundreds of them, so we estimate that this trip is not a small danger." Lao Zhang was a little worried.
"Are they all bugs like the one just now, there are hundreds, so aren't we going to feed the bugs? Otherwise, let's go back. "Luo Tong actually looks quite timid.
"You can't go back, you go back and see." The fire phoenix turned back and pointed the way it came, the door of the laboratory was gone, and the way was covered in a cloud of mist.
"Our coordinates in the real world have been pushed, and only by finding a new singularity, the intersection of the virtual and the real, can we return to our world." Lao Zhang's face was a little ugly.
"I've always wanted to ask, are we in the virtual world or the real world, why do I always feel weird?" Bai Yan asked with some puzzlement.
"In fact, we have been thinking about this question for a long time before we have a vague answer." Lao Zhang thought for a while, as if sorting out the wording, and then said: "Those alien species, because the speed of light at the bottom of the universe cannot be surpassed, no matter how strong their ontology is, in fact, they can't enter the solar system, let alone the earth, but due to the invasion of information, they first invaded the virtual game world, and then through virtual reality, create copies one by one, so that alien species can become the information carrier in the copy, when the carrier breaks through a certain energy level, or gradually integrates into our virtual world, There have been information overflows that have had an impact on our real world. ”
"So, that's the point of us going to destroy replicas, and we have to stop the spread of information, and the invasion of information at a higher level." Fire Phoenix explained.
"I know this, you talked about the Chaos Fortress, but today, it feels like the real world." Bai Yan was still a little puzzled.
"There are two kinds of invasions, one is the invasion of the virtual world, the Chaos Fortress in the Demon Domain, the copy inside, is the virtual world using information invasion, carrying the data of alien species in reality, we just fight monsters in the game and upgrade to destroy them. There is also a higher-level invasion of the real world, the real world is built with virtual technology, and we only have a guess about this invasion, which is that the alien species uses dark matter energy to encode, carries the copy data in the virtual world, and creates a virtual species based on the real environment. But we've only encountered this kind of invasion twice, and it seems that the energy consumption of alien species is also quite large, once we eliminate the virtual world in the real environment, the invasion copies in the Chaos Fortress will be greatly reduced, and our pressure will be much less. Lao Zhang explained carefully to Bai Yan.
"So I can probably understand it. So what are you waiting for, Captain, we are at your command. Bai Yan said.
"Let's go, there's only one way, find the singularity and destroy those disgusting creatures." The fire phoenix waved his hand, and the mage's robe shimmered with a faint light, leading the way in front.
"Wait a minute, I seem to have stepped on something." Bai Yan stopped, he stepped on the place where he had just killed the corpse insects, Bai Yan bent down and picked up a gold coin, which weighed about 50 grams, and there was a statue of a demon engraved on it.
"The virtual invasion of the real world also has benefits, that is, the gold coins and equipment dropped by the monsters, which you can take out from the singularity." Lao Zhang kindly reminded.
Bai Yan instantly smiled on his face, picked it up and wiped it on his clothes, resisted the urge to put a bite on his teeth, stuffed it into his pocket, and kept up with the pace of the regiment leader.
"Hey, you can't swallow it alone, I also have a share in the battle just now, you score half of me." Nurse Luo Tong caught up and said.
"Just now, such a thick syringe, if I hadn't resisted, it would have been a medical accident a long time ago, and it should be regarded as compensation for my mental loss.........." Bai Yan followed behind the regiment commander.
After passing through the boulder road and entering the nightmare jungle, the ground is uneven, and small mounds are dotted everywhere, mixed with patches of shrubs one person high, one in the east and one in the west, and between the bush piles, there are small puddles, some of which are still bubbling and bubbling. The sky was still gray, and from time to time there were patches of water ripples of mist drifting by, and the air was filled with the smell of earth.
Lao Zhang held the PDA in his hand, as if he had opened a map plug-in, and dodged a group of monsters along the way, but after walking three or four kilometers, there were 3 bright spots in front of him, which could not be avoided.
Bai Yan was full of confidence at this moment, waved his hands, popped out the Wolverine claws, walked in front of the fire phoenix, and jumped onto a small mound.
Standing on the small mound, Bai Yan rubbed his eyes, the three in front are monsters?
"Wow, what's this, is the cow semen?" Nurse Luo Tong exclaimed, and everyone also stood on the mound at this moment.
