At the beginning of the 22nd century, the earth's environment was severely damaged, and agriculture, the primary industry, was the first to collapse, and the sky was shrouded in a thick black fog, and the sun was barely visible.

Plants are withering due to lack of sunlight, while birds and insects are rapidly decreasing.

The streets outside are surrounded by a thick fog containing harmful substances, and ordinary residents cannot go out without wearing gas masks.

Of course, the water pollution is also very serious, the river has become a turbid current that does not look like the river water, and the water purification site is not fully functional due to severe pollution, and it cannot be drunk if you do not install a purification filter on the faucet.

Under such circumstances, the credibility of the government has greatly declined, many functions have become ineffective, and many departments have become ineffective.

As a result, the cliché of cyberpunk-like plots came online again, and large complex enterprises from various countries took the opportunity to rise, override the government, seize power, and become the de facto rulers of the local countries.

They built a livable place called Eco City, which was a completely different paradise from the outside world, where people from all the wealthy classes lived and those who worked in large corporations.

On the periphery, a civilian neighborhood has been established centered on the eco-city, creating a sick city in the 22nd century.

This is the reality of Overlord, a dystopian society in which capitalism has developed to its final form.

Neon, on the outskirts of Hokkaido's eco-city, on a civilian neighborhood with cross-flowing sewage and severe smog, a man in a black robe walks slowly, followed by two tall men with slightly surprised expressions.

"Gangzi, what's going on?"

Bai Lang was surprised to convey a message to Deng Yougang.

Deng Yougang rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "How do I know, I only watched the part that belongs to the other world and game materials, who knew that the real world of the earth still has this kind of setting!" ”

Bai Lang hesitated: "Then what should we do if we lie?" ”

Deng Yougang didn't care and said: "Just make a circle, even if it is really exposed, it's nothing, anyway, as long as the existence of the Traverser Alliance is not exposed......"

The two silently communicated with each other.

Satoru Suzuki, who was leading the way in front, glanced at them and said lightly, "What, are you surprised?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you probably haven't been to Neon before!"

Deng Yougang glanced at Bai Lang, thought for a while, and replied according to his words: "It is indeed not." ”

"That's lucky!" Satoru Suzuki laughed at himself, and said with a gloomy look in his eyes, "Since the eco-city war back then, there is only one country in this world that is still actually controlled by the government, and there is only one country left in China. ”

"With the exception of China, the governments of the rest of the countries have been hollowed out by large corporations, and the gap between the rich and the poor has reached an unprecedented level."

"Ordinary people like me can't even accept basic education and quality education, so they can only accept vocational education and technical education, and become gear workers at the bottom of this society."

"But even so, the cost of vocational education is still unaffordable."

"My parents died of overwork because they were trying to finance their tuition......"

It's so miserable, no wonder Satoru Suzuki cherishes the guild partners in the game so much.

For a person like him, compared to the dark and cruel reality, the experience in the game is the only beauty left in his heart, right?

But...... Is Huaxia an exception?

Deng Yougang thought about it for a while, and he really couldn't imagine the future of the Chinese government being hollowed out by large enterprises.

Even in the cyberpunk world, which is more detailed in setting, the super companies exported from Huaxia are all state-owned enterprises.

This is probably the unique inclusiveness and adaptability of 5,000 years of civilization......

Deng Yougang thought so in his heart.

Satoru Suzuki, who was in front of him, stopped, turned his head to look at the two of them, and said, "According to our agreement, as long as I learn rank magic, you will support me in establishing a branch in Neon, right?" ”

“…… That's right. ”

"That's good."

Satoru Suzuki nodded, then raised his right hand.

In an instant, a raging flame burned in the palm of his hand.

Bai Lang raised his eyebrows and said with interest: "I really learned it, it's not bad!" ”

And Deng Yougang couldn't help frowning while being surprised.

With Satoru Suzuki's protagonist qualifications, he was not surprised that he could learn rank magic, but where did this magic come from?

Could it be that there is magic in the real world?

Considering that rashly asking questions would be suspicious, Deng Yougang did not speak out.

At this moment, Bai Lang suddenly turned his head and looked at the thick mist in front of him in surprise.

Deng Yougang also seemed to notice something, and also looked in that direction, and said with a surprised face: "That's ...... Trolls?! ”

……

……

On the street two hundred meters away, a well-equipped special squad was distributed among the narrow alleys and surrounding buildings, armed with kinetic rifles, taking advantage of the geographical advantage, constantly shooting at the huge figure on the street.

It was nearly three meters tall, with gray-green skin and yellow eyes, and was holding a twisted metal lamppost that had clearly been pulled out of the ground, and roared as it swept the lamppost at the human-armed gun.

"Bang bang bang!!"

The sound of a large number of bullets colliding with metal rang out.

The three-meter-tall trolls roared in anger and charged forward in the face of a hail of bullets, waving their thick lampposts and smashing terrified humans into pulp.

"Puff puff—"

Countless bullets slammed into the ogre's skin, most of which were angled at the wrong angle, bounced off the tough skin, and a few broke through the skin, and then were stuck by the same tough muscles.

"Bang!"

At this moment, a large-caliber bullet flew from a distance, carrying terrifying kinetic energy, and instantly penetrated into the neck of the trolls, forming a fist-sized blood hole that penetrated back and forth.

Seeing this scene, the faces of the people besieging the trolls did not improve.

Because in the next second, the hideous and terrifying blood hole healed rapidly, and it became intact in the blink of an eye.

Far from terrifying the troll, the resulting pain made him even more angry, waving lampposts and slaughtering the weaker humans besieging him at a faster pace.

"Damn!"

The middle-aged man on the tall building in the distance slammed his fist against the railing, gritted his teeth, and looked at the battlefield with anger on his face through the AR lens with the ability to focus and zoom.

"It's actually the most difficult regenerative monster, the special tactics team is not its opponent, and the armor troops must be dispatched immediately!"

"Yes, Otengu No. 3 and No. 4 have been dispatched and are expected to arrive at the battlefield in one minute and seventeen seconds...... Wait, two hundred and eighty-seven meters in front of the right, there are suddenly multiple levels of magic fluctuations, sir, a new monster has appeared! ”

“…… What?! ”

The middle-aged man in military uniform turned his head sharply.

I saw that in the direction mentioned in the communication channel, three figures emerged from the mist.

The current man was wearing a black suit, his face was handsome, his expression was cold, his black hair was fluttering in the wind, his same black eyes were staring at the trolls on the street, and his slender and powerful right hand was slowly resting on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

In the next moment, the young man in the suit drew his long sword at a speed that was indiscernible to the naked eye.

A dark blue sword qi instantly broke away from the blade and turned into a narrow piece of slashing towards the back of the troll.

"Poof—"

Blood splattered, and the dark blue sword qi instantly tore through the ogre's body, and then continued to fly diagonally forward, cutting off countless lampposts on the side of the road in an instant, plowing an incomparably long deep ravine on the ground.

At the same time, a furious blue light raged across the section of the ogre's body, frantically destroying his muscles and cells.

In just a few seconds, the trolls, who had killed or injured dozens of humans, completely lost their vitality, and their huge body, which was torn in half, fell to the ground with a large amount of smoke and dust.

On both sides of the road, all the members of the special operations team hiding behind the bunker looked at the three of them in amazement.

But the three men clearly didn't pay attention to their gaze.

I saw the young man in the suit with the sword out of his hand and put the sword into the sheath, and then walked to the corpse of the troll, frowning slightly and looking at this monster that should not have appeared on the earth.

“…… It's really a troll, and it's a battle trolls of the same race as the 'Giants of the East'! ”

"Shouldn't these guys live in the Great Forest of Tob in another world, how can they appear on Earth?"

"Is it the so-called world collision, dimensional passage, aura revival and other scripts?"

Deng Yougang's face was full of doubts, and his heart became more and more incomprehensible to the real world after being changed by the main gods and demons.

Meanwhile, Satoru Suzuki, dressed in black robes, has already examined the corpse of the troll.

He stood up from the corpse, looked at Deng Yougang and nodded: "It's confirmed, it's a species from another world, I have captured a few in the Tobu Great Forest for research before, and their magic factors and muscle forms are completely consistent with the one in front of me." ”

Bai Lang said with interest: "It's a little interesting, what happened on the earth during the time we left?" ”

“…… This time away? Satoru Suzuki turned his head and glanced at him and said, "Isn't it only a dozen hours?" ”

Bai Lang was slightly stunned, then coughed a little embarrassed, and said: "That's the case, there is no law in the ratio of time flow between the earth and the other world, and we don't know how much ...... we have left."

"Alright, Big Brother Bai."

Deng Yougang reluctantly interrupted Bai Lang's pale and weak explanation, glanced at Suzuki Satoru and said calmly: "Let me tell you the truth, the place where you were interrogated just now was only built by us in another world, not the real earth. ”

"We are also the first time we have truly returned after traveling to another world."

"I see." Satoru Suzuki nodded, and said in a calm tone, "It seems that I guessed correctly." ”

…… Well?

Deng Yougang and Bai Lang looked at him in surprise.

Satoru Suzuki continued, "How can the cooldown time of a skill that can travel through the world be so short, at least more than a hundred hours, right? ”

Deng Yougang and Bai Lang: "......"
