Humanoid Machines [Unlimited] Section 475
He knows a lot about these bad habits of human beings.
ββ¦β¦ Good. β
After a moment of sluggishness, the little girl spoke. There was sleepiness in her voice, but she could also hear the trust?
In the last second, she had just finished answering Yuan Yuxue's words, and in the next second, her whole body was wrapped in drowsiness, and sleepiness came quickly, drowning her in an instant
It seems that she has forgotten what environment she is in, or maybe the breath around her is too reassuring for her. The child just wants to fall asleep upside down. The head and the chick kept pointing downward like pecking rice, and they were crumbling - and they did fall, but before they fell, they were held up by Yuan Xuxue.
Yuan Yuxue just wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he could already feel the little girl's steady breathing.
It's just that in this instant, he has already entered a state of sleep.
"......" Yuan Yuxue was dumbfounded.
He also remained quiet and looked at the Heavenly Master Sword.
Among them, it was indeed the Heavenly Master Sword who was most familiar with the personnel placement of Shelter No. 9.
The Heavenly Master Sword, who received Yuan Yuxue's sight, bent his lips slightly for some reason. However, he quickly restrained his smile with a little joking, got up and walked to Yuan Yuxue's side, and picked up the ignorant little girl who was sleeping.
The shelter is extremely densely populated, and there is not enough space to rest in terms of space allocation.
But the good thing is that Shelter 9 has a natural advantage - it's a converted hotel, and there are plenty of comfortable and suitable places to sleep.
These places are by no means too many, and they are scarce resources. But the little girl can enjoy it - these are originally given priority to the old and weak. She is still young and has no parents around to take care of her, so she is very much in line with the distribution criteria.
Although she was not comfortable enough to live in a room by herself, she could at least sleep on a soft bed, and there were girls of her age next to her.
The Heavenly Master Sword lightly took the girl, took her out, and found a place to settle down.
Given his position in the sanctuary, he must have been able to make a very good arrangement.
And not long after the Heavenly Master Sword left, Xiao Zi quietly glanced at Yuan Xuxue, and her body subconsciously straightened.
The look on his face was also slightly positive, with a slightly cautious look.
Now there are no children here, and there are some topics that are not suitable for childrenβthe serious kind.
"Big guy." He knew that Yuan Xuxue had probably not been in Shelter 9 for a long time, and most of the time he spent cleaning up those monsters outside. The current situation of the outside world should be very clear, right?
But there are some topics that have to be talked about as well.
"Those monsters are getting trickier." "I know their abilities can become quite terrifying after cannibalism," he said. So I've always been careful not to leave obvious corpses and attract those monsters. But I found ...... It's really useless, or it's getting weaker and weaker. β
"They will eat the weaker monster in the group. In the beginning, I only saw this phenomenon once, but in the second half of the night, it became more and more frequent. β
"There are even monsters that have already eaten the corpses of other monsters, and once again they are eaten by their own kind, which shows that there is no limit to their enhanced stacking state. If this continues, I don't know what kind of terrible monsters will be fed. β
Every time you eat a monster of the same kind, your ability almost doubles exponentially. And if this kind of multiplier can be superimposed, it is simply a terrible nightmare.
Yuan Xuxue's expression was always cold and calm, and he listened quietly to Xiao Zi talking about these contents.
The stable state of his emotions also relieved some of Xiao Zi's inner anxiety, and made Xiao Zi, who was more and more anxious in his heart, calm down a little.
It was as if it had been given a dose of reassurance, and it was rare to appear, so the especially strong panic was temporarily sealed. He looked a little calmer, and in a calm tone continued to analyze the predicament he was aware of.
"Originally, I thought that when the 'catastrophe' came, I could hold out for at least ten days and a half months." Xiao Zi smiled a little bitterly, obviously not as comfortable as before, "But if it's the current situation, at most...... Up to five days. β
These five days also refer to his self-preservation, and he may be able to survive for five days under the siege of such a terrifying monster. But in this case, he didn't have the energy to care about others again.
Yuan Yuxue obviously understood what he meantβhe looked up at Xiao Zi calmly, there weren't many ripples in those beautiful black eyes, but after a little thought, he asked Xiao Zi a question.
Yuan Xuxue's own strength is too supermodel, in fact, there is no way to judge the situation of others with her own situation. But Xiao Zi, as an experienced high-level player whose force value is slowly rising, his evaluation is actually more valuable.
"How long do you think the regular security order will not collapse with the protection of the shelter?"
This is equivalent to asking, how long can ordinary citizens hold out?
The conclusion drawn from Xiao Zi's mouth should be more accurate.
ββ¦β¦ Three days. β
After taking a deep breath, Xiao Zi said slowly.
- Even in the past three days, he came to a conclusion after he was as optimistic as possible about the situation.
If the situation deteriorates too quickly, for example, if there are too many monsters that gain great power by devouring their own kind...... Maybe it won't even last three days.
Yuan Yuxue was aware of this, and lowered her head to think about something.
Xiao Zi trusts all of Yuan Xuxue's decisions almost unconditionally. So he looked at Yuan Yuxue very intently-
Yuan Yuxue knew more information about the "Great Catastrophe" than any one person, which was determined by his instinct to gather information.
At this time, he lowered his eyes slightly, and the news he said was very exciting.
"According to the mission information I gotβ"
Yuan Yuxue was talking about the information obtained from the rubbings of the ancient Emiro sacrificial objects, "The great catastrophe that happened a few years ago did not last long, about thirty hours. β
"Thirty hours?"
Xiao Zi was obviously a little surprised.
The information he got from Yuan Yuxue was much better than he had imagined.
If this catastrophe only needs to last for more than thirty hours, even if the combat power of those monsters doubles, they will not reach the end of their rope - there are thousands of players with combat ability, and among them there are unpredictable players like Yuan Yuxue.
Persevering to the end of the mission is not an illusory goal.
It can be said that they are now halfway through the process of their mission.
But before Xiao Zi could put her mind at ease, what Yuan Yuxue said next made his heart sink slightly, just like bungee jumping.
ββ¦β¦ But the current situation is not right. β
Yuan Yuxue said in a low voice, "It's completely different from what is recorded in the ancient Emiro sacrifice rubbing. β
The first is the intensity of the attack.
In the midst of the great catastrophe recorded by ancient Emiro, the shelters that were planned were absolutely safe places β but their current situation was different.
Even if the specific location and area of the shelter are completely aligned, there are specific differences.
First of all, in historical records, as long as those who can escape into the shelter in time can survive the catastrophe safely, the shelter seems to be completely impenetrable.
But now what Yuan Yuxue has seen - although the shelter can protect the citizens hiding in it to a large extent, it will also be consumed after it is attacked one after another.
The energy expenditure cannot be calculated, but there are faint signs of breakage.
This requires someone to clear out the nearby monsters, at least not to let the monsters attack for a long time, and it is not necessary to hide in them and everything will be fine.
In addition to the reduction of the safety factor, Yuan Yuxue also confirmed that in the record, there is no such thing as cannibalism by monsters. But now it is, and it's going to be more frequent.
In this way, many fixed factors will also become unfixed factors - for example, the catastrophe recorded in history lasted for 30 hours. But that's not the case for them.
Xiao Ziyue's confidence was depressed again, and after a while, he spoke, "So it's a change in history, even if the disaster happens again." And unlike before, it's getting trickier? β
It stands to reason that this is true.
Yuan Yuxue paused slightly and said, "...... Wrong. β
"The mission information given to us must have a meaning for it. I don't think it's accidental, and I don't think such a change can be explained simply by 'historical change'. There must be an opportunity for change, and now is the time to find the key to unlocking it. β
Yuan Yuxue's fingertips lightly knocked on the table.
ββ¦β¦ Thirty hours. β
A significant point in time.
Chapter 537: Thousand People Copy 123
From the layers of fog, it is necessary to peel back the cocoon to find the only right option - and the only key.
The Heavenly Master Sword that had placed the little girl had already returned.
It's just that as soon as he came back, he also felt a very strange atmosphere in the room at this time.
Heavenly Master Jian raised his eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Zi, as if asking: What did you do while I was away?
β¦β¦ It's not that Xiao Zi knows how perfect the information is, but how close the relationship between the two is, that Heavenly Master Sword was the first to think of asking him. It's just that in this room, the best "soft persimmon" should be Xiao Zi.
Xiao Zi was expressionless and did not reply. The face rarely looked serious, revealing a depth that was extremely inconsistent with the handsome and young appearance.
But Yuan Yuxue spoke first, "I'm going back to Yuan's house to get some information."
The Heavenly Master Sword may not be clear, but Xiao Zi guessed what Yuan Yuxue was going to takeβit should be the information about the ancient Emiro historical rubbing.
Yuan Yuxue thought that she must have missed some information.
His memory can perfectly reproduce the information he saw from the data, and there should be no omissions.
So before the catastrophe began, Yuan Yuxue didn't carry these materials with her.
Now, it's not because Yuan Yuxue has forgotten the contents, he just suspects that there is still unsolved information in those rubbings that he has ignored, and can only be excavated through the study of the ontology.
For others, in such a horrific apocalypse, it is difficult to return to the Yuan family's mansion, which is located in the bustling center of City A, to find information.
But for Yuan Yuxue, there are not so many scruples - wherever he goes is almost the same.
After listening to Yuan Xuxue's brief explanations, Heavenly Master Sword obviously showed a slightly hesitant look.
β¦β¦ He wanted to go with Yuan Yuxue, but the shelter was here, and he had to stay in it and fulfill his duty. If something happens, he won't be able to get back in time.
So after hesitating again and again, the Heavenly Master Sword still didn't speak.
Xiao Zi didn't have such concerns, and hurriedly raised her hand, "I'll go with you, I can still drive!" β
Yuan Yuxue was very ruthless, "It's too slow to drive." β
Those beautiful eyes looked at him calmly, and then Yuan Yuxue gave a very sincere evaluation, "Moreover, you shouldn't be able to catch up." β
Xiao Zi: "......"
I want to refute it, but ......
The look on the young face suddenly became depressed. Even the original steady aura was scattered at all.
Xiao Zi looked dying.
Yuan Yuxue looked at his obviously disappointed look, and didn't know what kind of blow his words gave Xiao Zi.
