The crazy attack of the redundant army turned everything in the game space into a chaotic battlefield.
Players, system guards, redundant soldiers, and the three forces started fighting in various planes.
The killed NPCs and redundant soldiers turned into data fragments, while the dead players turned into white light.
However, those who turned into white light did not return to the landing space, nor did they go offline...
No one knows where they went...
Many players who fled back to the login space after the invasion tried to contact their friends who died not long ago through social functions, but the relevant menus of the system were no longer enabled.
Of course, trying to communicate with the outside world through the touch screen's networking function... is also impossible.
And an even weirder thing is that all the timing devices in the game have stopped operating at this moment...
Time seems to have stayed at zero o'clock forever.
…………
Mall, Area 1.
"How's it going? What's going on inside?"
As soon as he walked out of the elevator door, he turned around and asked.
At this time, two +≯ wise generals from the two major studios, "Tiandi" and "Shanhe", have led their respective clubs to form a temporary alliance. They are manufacturing in Area 1, which has the largest number of players and a very high overall quality.
A defensive position was established. With the help of NPC guards, the players seemed to have taken control of the situation and suppressed the redundant army outside the defensive circle.
"The warehouse can still be used..." Controller Yu Zhong replied solemnly, "But most of the functions on the touch screen are out of order, so it is naturally impossible to go offline."
"Then...is it still safe in the landing space?" Qiu Fengse asked again.
"It's not safe." Controller Yu Zhong shook his head helplessly and gave a frustrating reply, "When I checked the storage room, there were already several monsters (they didn't know the name "Redundant Soldiers")
The outer wall of the storage room was torn apart and rushed in. I thought... Whether it is the landing space, the conference room, the storage room, or the scare box, they are all the same as here - they can be 'invaded'. It is better than hiding alone.
In a narrow space, it is safer to be in this wide environment."
"Tch..." Qiu Fengse spat when he heard the words. "This is really not good." He raised his head and looked at the battle line at the edge of the defensive circle. "Although the enemy's troop dispatch speed has begun to slow down, there is no progress yet.
There are signs of stopping, and the proportion of 'powerful humanoid monsters' is increasing... God knows how long we can last." He paused, "In addition, the ten people I sent to investigate other mall planes... only came back.
Three; according to them, in other areas... basically no large-scale resistance has been established, and most players just move in small groups, scrambling to escape to the landing space..." At this point,
He lowered his voice and said, "What I'm worried about now is... whether the monsters in other areas will change planes and continue to attack after clearing out the players on their side."
"In that case..." Commander Yu Zhong broke into a cold sweat after hearing this, "Even if we withstand the group of monsters in front of us, the enemy will still have massive backup coming from other phase spaces...
…”
…………
At the same time, shopping mall, area 13.
I don't know if it was because the number of this place was unlucky, but twenty minutes after the invasion started, all the players here... were wiped out.
This "total annihilation" naturally does not mean that all players in this area have been killed.
In fact, less than half of the people "died" here, and the other half fled back to the landing space after the conflict broke out.
However, whether it is escaping or dying, at this point in time, there is not a single player left in this area.
According to the system's principle of retaining phase space, a mall plane without players will be closed directly.
So, at that moment, all the system guards who had not yet died, as well as the space itself, began to automatically disintegrate... All materialized objects were reversely transformed into data forms.
At this time, if a player attempts to enter Area 13 in the login space, the operation will not be possible...the door leading to this space cannot be opened.
The redundant soldiers and scavengers existing in this area have all turned into data like other surrounding materials, re-entering the data layer... and moving towards the next destination...
…………
On the other hand, in addition to those shopping malls, countless personal login spaces... have also been invaded by redundant soldiers.
After all, not everyone was reminded by Feng Bujue like Shiva. After most players in the mall saw the terrifying scene of the dome tearing apart and the monsters invading... their first reaction was to run back to the landing space.
But soon after they returned to the elevator, they discovered... that the landing space was not safe either.
Just as Chief Yu Zhong said to Qiu Fengse, whether it is an elevator, a storage room, a conference room, or a scare box... redundant soldiers can invade.
Whenever they catch signs of "data activity," they rush in.
As a result, a large number of players encountered a surprise attack in the elevator room they used most. Fighting against redundant soldiers as strong as giant beasts in such a narrow space... was obviously disadvantageous. Many players were not of high level or fighting skills.
Players with poor expertise are just stuck in it.
Even if some players can survive in this environment, as the six walls of the elevator collapse, they will gradually lose their footing and fall into the data layer outside the wall...
So the question is, where will they go after falling into the data layer?
There are roughly three results: first, they are directly lost in the data flow; second, after a short period of drifting with the flow, they "fall out" from a relatively large data interface. To be more specific... they are very likely to appear suddenly.
At the gap in the dome of a certain shopping mall plane, there will be a high-altitude free fall; thirdly... although the probability is very small, after falling into the data layer... the player has a certain chance of entering the other world.
…………
It was also in the storage room twenty minutes into the invasion.
Bang - bang - click -
After a crash and tearing sound, two redundant soldiers crawled into the white room through the crack in the wall.
At this time, the good-for-nothing uncle is undoubtedly not here, he is still competing...
So why did the redundant soldiers come to a space where no one is there? The reason is simple... there is "active data" here.
Audiences with good memories may still remember... As mentioned in the previous article, in the early stages of the game, Uncle Good-for-nothing once captured a boss-level creature by chance.
Although this creature cannot be summoned by him in the script, it can survive in his storage room and give him a lot of help.
It can be said that the unfathomable strength of the good-for-nothing uncle is inseparable from the support of this mysterious creature.
And today, several uninvited guests disturbed this person's peace... (To be continued...)
