Chapter 1172 Twelve thousand five hundred seventy-two
Originally, when Ji Lu planned to send 1,000 people, everyone didn't think that they could all arrive safely, but now there are less than 100 people coming, and the mortality rate is much higher than everyone imagined.
"Don't overthink it, let's do our best. Song Yu walked over and patted Xiao Qiang on the shoulder, he saw the self-blame in Xiao Qiang's eyes.
Along the way, the person who made all kinds of cruel decisions was Xiao Qiang, and no one was more uncomfortable than him at the moment.
Hearing Song Yu's voice, Xiao Qiang reluctantly showed a smile, and then said, "Although we have come to the foot of the Final City now, how can we enter?"
When I looked at the huge castle, it was as if a black wall was lying in front of me, and I felt that there was no place to enter.
"We were looking around for the entrance, and the others were resting nearby. Yao Shenxue proposed.
This opinion was agreed by everyone, and in the end, NPCs such as Serostia were allowed to stay where they were to protect everyone, while Xiao Qiang and other players looked for an entrance nearby.
Surprisingly, the search for the entrance didn't take long, and it was surprisingly smooth. Less than 2 kilometers west of the city wall, where everyone could not rest, everyone found a huge door.
Fifteen minutes later.
Everyone came to this door.
"Shouldn't you want us to open this door and go in now?" Fang Li walked over and pressed the door hard, it felt like it was terrible, obviously it couldn't be opened by strength.
"Do you need a key?" Shi Qingqing looked at the door, but unfortunately, he didn't find anything resembling a keyhole.
Just when everyone was at a loss, another unexpected thing happened, and I don't know who touched the mechanism, and the originally closed door suddenly emitted a huge sound of gear turning. Then a gap slowly opened, not much, but enough for people to pass through.
"What's going on?" Xiao Qiang was slightly stunned, and as he looked around, he didn't find anything wrong.
"Let's go in, it should be the setting of the system, and the door will open after identifying us. Song Yu said, and was the first to walk forward.
Seeing this, the others hesitated slightly and followed Song Yu's pace.
After everyone walked through that door, in front of everyone. A system message pops up.
System: After discovering the City of the End, you and your team have entered the preparation stage of the National War Knockout Tournament, please go to the North Teleportation Array of the City of the End to standby, the coordinates of the teleportation array are X:0001, Y:20381
After receiving this prompt. Xiao Qiang immediately opened the system map, and sure enough, he saw a cursor on it. The tag noun is the North of the City Teleportation Array.
It took another 10 minutes to walk. In front of everyone, they finally saw the huge teleportation array, and surprisingly, there were already a lot of people gathered there.
They all have different appearances, they are all from other countries, not from country C, obviously. Before Xiao Qiang's team arrived, these Chosen Ones belonging to the top 32 countries had arrived at the City of Finality early with their own strength and without anyone dragging them down.
In order to reduce unnecessary hassle and friction. Xiao Qiang: Under the curious gaze of those people, they found a quiet place to stay nearby.
The moment everyone sat down, many people in the team let out a sound of relief. After 3 days and 3 nights, so many people were sacrificed, and finally came to the final city.
"That, Xiao Qiang, right. I don't know when, but Zhao's father and mother in the team didn't rest, but came over and asked, "My kid Xiao Nan hasn't come in yet, can you send someone to find him?"
Xiao Qiang was stunned for a moment, and before he could answer, Zhao Ying and Lili behind him hurriedly ran over.
Zhao Ying pulled her mother and said, "Didn't I say it, brother, he will come over to join us soon, don't be nervous." ”
Lili also said: "Yes, aunt, Brother Zhao Nan will definitely be fine." ”
Faced with the words of the two daughters, Zhao's mother didn't believe it, "Don't you talk nonsense to comfort me, do you think I don't know the way? Look here, isn't there only 3 hours left?"
In the surprised eyes of everyone, Zhao Mu actually pulled out the task bar, which showed that there were still 3 hours and 18 minutes left to go to the City of Finality.
"Your mom and I don't know anything, and we've studied a lot along the way. Father Zhao on the side said.
"Mom, Dad, I really underestimate you. The corners of Zhao Ying's mouth twitched, and she raised her forehead.
Xiao Qiang smiled slightly, walked over and said: "Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao, in fact, you don't have to be nervous, although Zhao Nan has not arrived now, but if he wants to come here, he must be able to arrive anytime and anywhere, and he has not arrived yet, it is estimated that there is something else." ”
"What if it's delayed?This will kill people, right?" Zhao Mu was still a little worried, especially when she saw that on the taskbar, if you can't reach the City of the End within 3 days, the player's health will directly return to 0.
Mother Zhao didn't know what life value was 0, but she saw a lot of people dying these days, and she naturally understood the meaning of these words.
"Zhao Nan will be fine. Xiao Qiang said in a serious tone: "Among those of us, even if everyone can't come here within the specified time, Zhao Nan will be fine, he is the only one among us who is not restricted by the system, so even if Zhao Nan does not come here within the specified time, he will not have a situation where his life will return to 0." ”
"Really?" asked Mother Zhao.
"Really. Zhao Ying said first, and then said a few words of comfort before dragging the two old men away.
"I'm sorry for the trouble. Lili stayed and apologized to Xiao Qiangdao.
"It's okay, it's normal for the elderly to be worried. Xiao Qiang waved his hand to show that it didn't matter, and then said to Shi Qingqing: "By the way, can you try to contact Zhao Nan?"
"I tried it just now, but because we entered the City of the End, the system prompted that this was a battlefield area, so private chat was not allowed. Shi Qingqing smiled bitterly.
"I knew that Lu Dao was like this, and we contacted Zhao Nan when we were outside at the beginning. Xiao Qiang said helplessly.
......
24 December 2014, 23:13 p.m.
There was less than an hour left before the system mandated time to enter the City of the End, and during that time, more and more players came here through that gate.
However, without exception, most of these people are the natural chosen ones of the top 32 countries. There are only a handful of players, and most of them are relatives or friends of the Chosen One.
It seems that the only person who can complete the 3-day stipulated time is the Chosen One, and the average player does not have the ability to come to a place like Antarctica in 3 days.
Xiao Qiang also paid special attention to it when he was resting, and found that the teleportation array used for this collection was not the only one, according to the map display, there were a total of eight teleportation arrays of the same teleportation array, which were distributed in eight different directions in the city of the end.
24 December 2014, 23:41 p.m.
There are only twenty minutes left in the last twenty minutes. The number of people entering is getting smaller and smaller, and even if there are, they are all scarred guys, who are basically ordinary players, and it can be seen from the military uniforms on their bodies. They were supposed to come with the national troops, but they were able to get in eventually. But there were only a few of them.
During this period. Zhao's mother and Zhao's father came over and asked again uneasily, but then they were really relieved, and asked Zhao Ying and Lili to accompany her to the city gate to wait.
When the four of them came to the city gate, there were less than 10 minutes left, and the worry in Zhao's mother's eyes was even worse, if it weren't for Zhao Ying and Lili to stop them. It is estimated that he will rush out of the city directly to find Zhao Nan outside the city gate.
Just a few minutes later, three more men rushed in from outside the city gates, but one of them fell to the ground from serious injuries as he rushed in.
Just a few seconds. You can see the blood bar on his head, which was deducted to 0 due to serious injury, and then his originally scarred body, after a bang, exploded into a pile of flesh and blood and internal organs and sprinkled on the ground.
The other two, on the other hand, looked excited, not noticing that their companion was dead.
"Why hasn't Xiao Nan arrived yet?" Mother Zhao saw such a bloody scene, her face turned even paler, and she clenched her hands tightly in front of her chest.
"Wife, don't worry too much, didn't Mr. Xiao Qiang say it just now? Xiao Nan is very powerful, and he can ignore any system punishment. Although Zhao's father was so comforted, his worry was no less than that of Zhao's mother.
Seeing this, Lili originally planned to step forward to comfort her, but not far from the city gate, a black lightning bolt suddenly erupted.
This color of lightning was too familiar to Lili, and Lili barely hesitated at all, and shouted: "It's Brother Zhao Nan, it must be Brother Zhao Nan." ”
Sure enough, as soon as the black lightning dissipated, a large group of people appeared out of thin air inside the gates of the City of the End.
Zhao Nan had just finished teleporting, but his expression was obviously relieved, he looked at the time displayed on the system taskbar, fortunately, there were still 3 minutes before the countdown ended.
Things turned out to be like this, after Zhao Nan rescued Liu Rufei that day, he originally planned to directly use the order of MassTelepor (group teleportation) to go to the City of Finality, but he happened to meet someone from the Central Military Department of Country C on the way.
It was the battleship that Li Jianguo and other high-level officials were riding, they had experienced two days of escape, and sacrificed tens of thousands of people before they barely managed to get here, but not long after they landed, they encountered another wave of terrifying monsters.
There was no possibility of survival, but Zhao Nan took action and rescued them, because the time was too rushed, Zhao Nan had to use a MassTelepor (group teleportation) command, and under the condition of consuming a large number of truth units, he carried out three group movements in front of him, and finally came to the City of the End before the end of time.
I have to say that this kind of group order to transmit many people at one time is much more difficult than Zhao Nan imagined, if it weren't for Zhao Nan's current truth being much stronger, I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible.
Just breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Nan heard Lili's voice again, and when he looked back, it was really Lili, as well as his sister, and his parents were there.
"How do you know that I came back at this time?" Zhao Nan said with a little surprise.
Zhao's mother and Zhao's father didn't say anything, they ran over and hugged their son as soon as they ran over, and Zhao Ying and Lili also had moist eyes.
"Huh. Zhao Nan's expression was a little embarrassed, after all, there were too many people here, and he was a little uncomfortable when he looked at him.
"Zhao Nan. Li Jianguo walked out of the crowd and said sincerely: "Thank you for saving me this time, if it weren't for you, all of us would have been killed by those monsters halfway." ”
While saying this, Li Jianguo faced Zhao's father and Zhao's mother again, bent down and said, "You two are Zhao Nan's high hall? Thank you very much." Without your sons, our country would have been doomed. ”
learned from Zhao Ying that the old man in front of him was the president of the country, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother were startled and said that they didn't dare.
"I didn't do anything, but for Gu Ming's sake, plus grandpa, you are a good person, so I did it. Zhao Nan said lightly.
"Yes, it turns out that I, a useless old man, am still a good old man in your eyes. Hearing Zhao Nan's evaluation of himself, Li Jianguo couldn't help but smile.
At this time, Liu Rufei had already come over. was asking Lili and Zhao Ying about everyone, and after the three of them communicated with each other, they walked over together.
"Zhao Nan, Xiao Qiang, they have already gone to the teleportation array, let's go over. Liu Rufei said.
Zhao Nan nodded. Then he asked Li Jianguo very politely, "Is the old man also going with us?"
Hear this. Li Jianguo's expression was obviously a little flattered. Pointing to himself, he asked, "Our people are with you?"
"yes, is there a problem?"
"No, no problem. ”
So, Zhao Nan and his party walked towards the teleportation array in the north of the city, but after a few steps, the system suddenly refreshed a bright red message.
System: The time has come and players who are unable to enter the City of the End within the allotted time. Health will return to 0 after 60 seconds!
System: The time has expired, and players who are unable to enter the City of the End within the allotted time will have their health reset to 0 after 59 seconds
......
It's almost the same as the tip 3 days ago, it's just as cruel as it makes people sweat coldly. Li Jianguo's face was even more ashamed, and he thought of the soldiers who sacrificed for him along the way.
Zhao Nan just paused, and then walked forward with the same expression, he had seen too many of this kind of things, he was already very numb, and he didn't think it was a big deal.
When the countdown entered the last second, the same thing happened, the territories of the countries around the world turned black, and those players who did not enter the city of the end were all killed by the system, and their souls turned into black crosses, becoming tombstones towering on the black earth.
......
The teleportation array in the north of the city was not very far from here, and Zhao Nan and Li Jianguo and the others quickly came here to join Xiao Qiang and them. Seeing Zhao Nan come back smoothly, everyone was naturally very happy, but it was a bit surprising to see that Li Jianguo and other people from the Central Military Department were actually rescued by Zhao Nan.
The greetings didn't last long, because not long after Zhao Nan and the others came here, the system announced another piece of information, which seemed to be because all the players who could participate in the national war knockout round had arrived.
System: As of now, 12,572 players have arrived in the City of the End.
System: As of now, 12,572 players have arrived in the City of the End.
......
Seeing this information, Xiao Qiang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "In just four days, there are so few people on the earth who have survived. ”
"We've done our best. Zhao Nan closed his eyes and said.
Everyone was still immersed in this sad atmosphere, but the system threw heavy explosives again.
System: The top 32 of the cross-server national war knockout tournament is about to be held, please enter the final city one by one according to the order, one by one, enter the nearest teleportation array, and the battlefield is about to open.
System: The top 32 of the cross-server national war knockout tournament is about to be held, please enter the final city one by one according to the order, one by one, enter the nearest teleportation array, and the battlefield is about to open.
......
"Damn, start so soon?" Fang Li let out a ghostly voice, obviously shocked by the sudden news.
"How is it possible? We just came to the city of the end after a long journey, and we didn't even give us a little time to rest to start the national war?" shouted an officer from the Central Military Department behind Li Jianguo.
"I think it's normal, it's a knockout round after all. Zhao Nan was surprisingly calm this time, and said with a smile: "It is estimated that from the beginning, the 3-day mission to the City of Finality was released by 'Fate' in order to screen some superfluous people, and the knockout tournament has actually started from the first day of the mission's release." ”
"Sure enough, it was a knockout tournament, and 300 million players were eliminated. Shi Qingqing smiled bitterly.
"It's too late to say that, let's think about how to survive. Zhao Nan smiled, then walked to the side and sat down.
The system said just now that the teleportation will come one by one, so Zhao Nan is not in a hurry now, so he simply found a place to sit down and wait.
Time passed little by little, and near the teleportation array in the north of the city on their side, there were about a thousand players gathered, so it only took a short time for the teleportation to end, and the rest was left to Zhao Nan and they entered the teleportation array one by one, and soon completed the teleportation.
Wait until the transfer is over.
Zhao Nan found that everyone had come to a completely new world, it was a very huge square, the stones under the ground were still black, and there was also a huge black castle behind them.
The only difference is that there is a bright red flag above the castle, which is the flag of country C.
"This is the battlefield?"
Zhao Nan muttered, and then walked in the direction of the guardrail of the square, what is surprising is that the square and the castle behind are actually built on a huge hill, three city gates under the square, there are three roads opposite, the road is lined with a dense forest, and there is a black grassland in the distance from the forest.
Without waiting for Zhao Nan to look farther, the system refreshed new information again.
In the process of melee, those who kill all players in the enemy country or capture the castle of the enemy country can get the right to advance, and if they fail, their health will be 0 and eliminated, and the time limit for melee is 30 days.
System: ...... (To be continued......)
