The mysterious disappearance of the Death Monitor shocked everyone standing at the scene.
Whether it's a player, an NPC, or Chu Guang.
Yin Fang was the first to react, and rushed to the spot where the death giant lizard had fallen as quickly as possible, and reached out to touch the ground.
Rubbing his index finger and thumb, he frowned slightly.
The corrosive blood completely disappeared.
However, traces of corrosion remain on the synthetic floor.
In addition, the human tissue swallowed by the death giant lizard also dissipated into the air along with the virtual particles, as if it had been assimilated by some unknown force.
What exactly is that power?
Yin Fang suddenly remembered what happened in the previous experiments.
Researchers from the Seventh Institute tried to use a perforator to transmit a simple mechanical object like a clock to the Creator Universe. The result of direct transmission was that there was no response, but when it was worn on a monkey, it was successful.
The gaps created by the perforator in the membrane of the universe seem to be related to the subjective cognition of the person being transported. Although this understanding is somewhat idealistic, the facts they see do exist objectively.
Chu Guang walked to Yin Fang's side and looked at the traces of corrosion remaining on the ground and whispered.
"What's going on with this thing?"
"I don't know, we have too few clues..." Yin Fang shook his head. After a moment of pause, he continued in an uncertain tone, "However, I do have a guess."
Chu Guang looked at him and motioned him to continue.
Yin Fang paused and continued.
"The pioneer civilization mentioned the 'wall' and explained it as the existence between the universe and the universe, and warned us to be careful not to release them."
Chu Guang thought for a moment and said.
"You mean, this lizard is the thing on the wall?"
"To be precise, it's the projection of something on the 'wall'. I don't think it has the ability to drill through an almost invisible hole. What we are facing is probably that it appears through a small hole with the help of some kind of power."
'Like'." Yin Fang looked at the thoughtful Chu Guang and continued seriously, "Of course, this is just a speculation based on logic. If the membrane of the universe is so fragile that even we who have just stepped out of our home star can
If you destroy it at will, it is impossible for this universe to survive until now...unless you believe that we are the only civilization in this universe."
This is obviously impossible.
After all, they only discovered the existence of the pioneer civilization not long ago, and even their understanding of "void" was inherited from the pioneer civilization.
"The projection of the void creature, it sounds creepy," Chu Guang smiled faintly, "But the other side seems to be wary of us, so there's nothing to worry about."
Seeing the confident smile on Chu Guang's face, Yin Fang couldn't help but smile in relief and joked.
"Of course it will be afraid of us. Remember what it just said? It has been to many worlds similar to ours."
"I guess this isn't the first time it's been kicked against an iron plate."

[Alliance Scientific Research Institute Seventh Research Institute·Experiment Log]
【No.:7444154】
[Name: Death Monitor Lizard.]
[Description: It looks like a huge lizard with an indefinite number of eyes on both sides of its mouth.
It is cruel in nature and extremely aggressive. It can destroy nearly half a meter thick concrete structure and break through isolation facilities with quasi-nuclear protection capabilities by relying only on physical strength.
In addition to its extraordinary strength and desire for hunting, this unknown life form also has almost incredible recovery capabilities and damage resistance. Even if it encounters fatal injuries, it can maintain combat efficiency and recover from damage in a relatively short period of time.]
[Experiment record: [Super Vicious Corps] Four five-stage awakened beings attacked it with "company-level firepower" and invested equipment including bolt guns, white phosphorus bombs, and individual rocket launchers. In the end, only one person survived.
In subsequent experiments, the [Manager] personally took action and repeatedly destroyed its body tissues to conclude that there was an upper limit to the creature's regeneration ability, and it could be killed with multiple kills.
Five minutes after the life form was killed, the remains of the body disappeared out of thin air. The specific manifestation was that it decomposed into small invisible particles after becoming virtual, and its whereabouts were unknown.
In addition, experiments have shown that the creature has a certain degree of intelligence and language ability, but only shows a limited desire to communicate when facing an invincible opponent.
】
[Remark 1: The experimental facilities on the B3 floor of the Seventh Research Institute should consider the possible invasion of organic life forms, and add physical disinfection devices in the isolation facilities. ]
[Note 2: According to the information disclosed by "7444154", it is suspected that there are multiple parallel universes. If this information is accurate, there are suspected omissions in the "multi-layer nested structure of the universe" and the "Creator" conjecture. 】

…
The "Wasteland OL" official website forum is as lively as ever today.
And as a group of players who participated in the mission of "Defending the Seventh Research Institute" went offline one after another, a piece of news that shocked everyone's attention was quickly refreshed on the forum.
Turbulent waves: "Big news!!! Researchers from the Seventh Research Institute used a perforator to attract void creatures! Four level 50 brothers from our corps took the order, but three of them were killed in an instant!"
Enthusiastic little firecracker: "I testify! As soon as the alarm went off, these four people rushed up and occupied the elevator, and fed the big lizard to eighty cents full."
Turning danger into good fortune: "Fuck you! We also have output, okay! (angry)"
The odds are stacked against him: "That's right! Without our output support, can the manager defeat the opponent with one move?"
Irena: "If you hadn't added the following sentence, I might have believed it. (Squints and smiles)"
Bo Guangguang: "Ahem, actually it's not as exaggerated as one move in seconds. I was watching the whole process. The blood of the lizard is not ordinary thick. Brother Guang only wiped out half of the blood with two hammers. The third or fourth blow was
It’s time to die.”
Quit smoking: "What the fuck?! Can you withstand Brother Guang's three moves?! So awesome?!"
Ye Shi: "Khan, I told them to take it easy, and they actually practiced the new expansion pack. (Embarrassing)"
Tails: "!!! The new expansion pack is coming?! (⊙o⊙)"
Fang Chang: "We'll see if there are any new surprises. (Squints and smiles)"
Turbulent Waves: "Speaking of it, this monster is a bit evil. The corpses of monsters that were killed before were all left in place. As a result, this monster didn't even leave a hair behind after it died, as if it had been wiped out by the server."
The most ferocious tiger in the pond: "+1, I was also there at the time. Not to mention that not a single hair was left on the monster, but even the eaten parts of the dead players disappeared with it. (°ー°〃)"
Lao Bai: "The new game mechanism sounds interesting. (Baring teeth)"
Irena: "But I want the spoils more. It would be too uncomfortable not to explode anything. (Funny)"
Elf King Fugui: "Do you want to try it? (Funny)"
Irena: "I was discovered by you. (Funny)"
Fang Chang: "Actually, what worries me more is not the fact that monsters disappear after death, but that among the 7444154 new entries added to the data card of the Seventh Research Institute in the official website setting collection, there is an article about 'parallel world'
settings."
Gale: "Is there anything wrong with this setting?"
Fang Chang: "It's not that there's anything wrong with it, it's just that the content inside makes me a little concerned. I've been thinking before... is there a possibility that the wasteland in "Wasteland OL" is actually a parallel world? And about
The content of 7444154 is exactly some kind of inspiration given to us by the game designer."
The originally lively post was unusually quiet for a while, and no one answered for a long time.
In fact, not to mention the melon-eating people in the post, even Fang Chang, who typed this line in the post, felt it was a bit outrageous, although the idea had been brewing in his mind for a long time.
This game...
Is it really just a game?
As expected, he was not the only one who thought so.
The moment he updated this line of conjecture in the post, the people who came to their senses posted their own opinions one after another.
Apart from the vast majority of opponents, a considerable number of people agreed with his conjecture.
Quit smoking: "What the fuck? You mean Brother Guang is actually an alien? (Horrified)"
Fang Chang: "I didn't say that, but it doesn't matter whether he is an alien or not. Even if he is a human, he can still be the spokesperson of an alien civilization."
Crow Crow: "How... is this possible! No matter how realistic the game is, it's still a little different from reality, right?! (°ー°〃)"
Jiujiu loves to eat pineapples: "According to this statement...the people who died are really dead, everyone except us. (Guilty)"
Debt-eyed: "It sounds a bit scary, but it is surprisingly reasonable... The NPCs in this game feel no different from people in reality. Even if artificial intelligence is used to explain it, it is a bit too realistic. Uh, I
A friend told me."
Tyrannosaurus Warrior: "Call Professor Yang! The delusional symptoms of these Internet addicts have worsened! ∑(Д)"
Kuangfeng: "Well... I can't refute your point of view, but I only have one question, how is this kind of thing achieved?"
Fang Chang: "I don't know. After all, compared to the world in the analog game, our current era should be in the old era before the Prosperity Era. Technically, the generation gap is about as far away as Nanmen Er."
Fang Chang: "And... that morphological field theory, don't you think it looks familiar? The transmission of information through resonance sounds like a gaming helmet..."
…
The discussion on the forum continues.
And it has shifted from discussions about new expansion packs and game mechanics to discussions about the nature of the game.
To be honest, Chu Guang knew that sooner or later, the young players of "Wasteland OL" would realize that the world under their feet was not virtual, but actually existed in a parallel universe.
Looking at it now, this day seems to be getting closer...
Union Building.
Manager's office.
Looking at the lively discussion forum on the holographic screen, Chu Guang couldn't help but smile.
"...There are still many smart people. It seems that we need to expand the 'planning team'."
Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the table, tilted her head.
"Aren't Aguang and Xiaoqi enough?"
"Of course it's not enough," Chu Guang smiled and touched its little head and said in a gentle tone, "The Wasteland Era is over. We have to design a new game so that they can continue to play in the new era."
The war in the Free State has come to an end, and the alien species in the River Valley Province are about to be killed and turned into protected animals. As the situation of "more people than monsters" gradually intensifies, this situation is spreading to other provinces.
In as short as one or two years, as long as two or three years, the wild alien species outside Baiyue Province on this planet will sooner or later be killed to extinction.
After all, it takes five or six years for a Deathclaw to hatch and mature, but it only takes three days for the player to stand up again, and the death experience is still intact.
As the snowball of the alliance gets bigger and bigger, the order of this planet is gradually returning to normal. This is of course a good thing for the survivors living on this planet, but for the players who join the game later,
This may not be the case anymore.
There are only two options at this point.
Either reduce or even suspend the issuance of closed beta qualifications, control the inflow rate of new players, and reduce the proportion of professional combat players.
Or open up a new map and divert professional combat players to a brand new planet similar to Gaia!
Chu Guang is of course more inclined to choose the latter, after all, it is not his style to kill the donkey.
Now that the Alliance has established a firm foothold in the wasteland, it is time to extend a helping hand to our compatriots in another world.
With the connection of the morphogenesis field, the two worlds can actually seek common prosperity!
In addition, regarding the problem of the new map, the experimental records of "7444154" also provided him with an excellent idea to solve the problem——
That is to find a livable or relatively livable planet, and move the Seventh Research Institute, the tree species of the Tree of Life and the resurrection points of some professional combat players there!
Then use the perforator to continuously create new "void alien species" to be used as wild monsters for players!
Although this sounds like a bit of a suicide attempt, if you think about it from another angle, it might be a way to get the best of both worlds.
In this way, it not only solves the problem of players having no monsters to grind, improves the game experience, but also allows the alliance's researchers to be more hands-off in practical experiments, which helps to enhance human civilization's understanding of the void.
understand.
Is there any more perfect idea than this?
Maybe there is.
But he can't think of anything better for the time being!
Just as Chu Guang was secretly having fun, a murmur suddenly came from a corner of the office.
"...It's incredible that a young civilization that has just left its home planet has understood the mystery of the void."
The rustling sound is like the scraping of leaves outside the window. If you don't pay close attention, you may not be able to hear it, or even if you hear it, it can easily be regarded as an auditory hallucination.
but--
The faint sound did not escape Chu Guang's ears, and a pair of sharp eyes quickly shot to a corner of the room.
"who?"
Seeing Chu Guang's sudden movement, Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the table, was startled. She quickly turned her head and looked behind her, only to see nothing but the bookshelf.
"...Master? Is there...something there?" Xiao Qi said nervously with a worried expression on his face.
The sound wave trap is connected well and it can be sure that there was no sound at all.
There is not even one decibel of vibration.
However, Chu Guang did not look away, but stared straight in the direction of the bookshelf.
The voice was silent for a while, and then came slowly after a long time.
"...Me? Can you see me?"
There was a hint of obvious surprise in the voice, as if he had seen something incredible.
To be honest, Chu Guang couldn't see the guy muttering to himself.
However, he could indeed detect that a pair of eyes were looking at him from a certain direction.
That sight did not contain any goodwill or malice, and all it seemed to be able to do was look.
Chu Guang's eyebrows raised slightly, and he suddenly realized the identity of this guy.
