Pollution is the source and the end of professionals.
Facing pollution runs through the life of professionals, and even the so-called "profession" comes from it.
"In order to fight against the pollution from the outside world, I first polluted myself."
Frail mortals have no resistance in the face of high-dimensional pollution.
That is not something that individuals can work hard on with their strength and courage. When your body, your city, or even your world melts into a ball due to a being that is too close to you. That kind of "rubble" is "planet"
The feeling of powerlessness captured by gravity has long had nothing to do with personal will.
If you can resist, you can resist.
If you can't, you're screwed.
".Regular-level pollution source? Are you kidding me? This is murder!"
When the news spread, countless secret keepers chose to give up, and more than half of the candidates gave up the exam directly in the most dishonorable way. You know, every one of them is a senior secret keeper, and having a certificate is even better than not having a certificate.
The powerful faction.
They have faced pollution and powerful enemies, so they really understand what the "golden rule" means.
".Is this the end for me?"
Lu Xinghui, who has been in the industry for eleven years and is a senior secret keeper in Shanhui City, has been at the peak of the third level for a long time.
At the age of forty, he is in his prime, but like most professionals, he has already reached his threshold.
Midlife crisis? Invisible ceiling? It's probably something similar, the feeling of being unable to take another step forward no matter how hard you try, and feeling like you can only watch young people surpass yourself one by one.
Perhaps, if nothing unexpected happens, he can retire at the age of forty or fifty and live as long as he can. The qualification of "explorer", the ticket to the outside world, is a life-saving straw for people like him.
At the fourth level, you must have your own "laws" and your own rules.
It's not impossible to follow the path of others, but it still requires an extremely ridiculous accumulation. Generally speaking, when professionals who follow their own path enter the fourth level, the difficulty will be lower.
Lu Xinghui estimated that no matter how lucky he was, he would only have the chance to reach the fourth level when he was around fifty years old. At that time, all aspects of his body's functions had seriously declined, and coupled with the accumulation of "innate abilities", he was afraid that this would be the end of his life.
That's it.
A professional is always racing against time and life. He originally thought he was satisfied if he could live to be over fifty.
"The path to a foreign land, the rules of a foreign land"
His own bottleneck is the bottleneck caused by "already accumulated". If he changes to a different place, changes the rules, changes the road, gets some specialties from the outside world, and searches for the gods and secrets of the outside world, he will be instantly moved.
Even when he learned that the first round of testing would involve rule-level contamination, when his colleagues were instantly shaken, he
"If it's just scrap pressure rather than a direct attack, professionals of level 4 and above can generally resist it. I've been level 3 for a long time, so theoretically, I can resist it, if it's just for a minute."
Rule-level pollution forms its own world and system. Once it appears in a certain area, it is often large-scale pollution. Meme-level pollution causes many senior secret keepers who have been famous for a long time to die inexplicably. They do not know who killed them until they die.
own.
When the news spread, he and other colleagues immediately became angry and full of complaints. However, as a senior person, he could understand the authorities' approach.
"This is equivalent to the official saying that they cannot resist that level of coercion, and the risk of going there is too high."
Ordinary followers can lower the threshold, but as the core of exploration operations, "explorers" must at least have the ability to live and act in various areas.
A team, a squad, even a small group, if the core member dies inexplicably from an AOE (large area) attack, something may happen to the entire team.
But understanding does not mean approval. Rule-level pressure still puts too much pressure on him.
"Let's try it. Theoretically, it's possible for me to do it if I'm in good condition."
Professionals are a collection of composite professions, and individual levels are of little significance. Many second and third levels that have accumulated enough are inherently stronger than fourth levels.
Thinking that he had been stuck in the third level for six full years, even though his body had declined early, Lu Xinghui still gritted his teeth.
"The injuries I suffered when I was young made me decline faster than expected, and my talents can no longer be suppressed."
As if he had been forced to the cliff, he had no choice but to take a gamble.
But sometimes, trying means dying
".Is this the end of me? It's really sad."
His pupils were already black and red, cracks spread directly from the bottom of his eyes, and chips like broken glass continued to scatter.
The world in front of me also began to change, as if a layer of skin had been torn off everything, revealing the flesh and blood underneath.
His head felt pain at first, then numbness, and then
"Great music, is anyone singing?" Unknown pleasure seeped out from every corner of the body.
Most of the skin on his body began to peel off, and scale-like and feather-like parts quickly grew out.
The pupils shattered into pieces, and the blood and black crystals merged together.
Around the ears, bloody cracks were unfolding. The senior secret keeper opened his mouth with a smile on his face. Under the strange cracked teeth, something seemed to be crawling out.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise and he completely lost consciousness.
"Sealing Class, hurry up! He mutates very quickly."
"The effect of the potion is a bit weak. Do you need surgery? Okay, let them hurry up."
"We don't have enough manpower, so the next batch will be slower. Let's cure this batch first."
"Really, can you consider the upper limit of your abilities?"
Chaotic sounds echoed in the room, and what was pulled back one by one by chains were professionals with combat capabilities above the mid-level backbone.
If you can save it, of course you have to save it, but there is always a chance
"No. 17 has completely mutated, completely out of control, and lost all reason!"
".Eradication team! Deal with it as soon as possible, cleaning team is ready."
Although most of the losers have been rescued, there are always people who think too highly of themselves, and that's the end of it.
If it weren't for the real shortage of people in the outer realm, the opportunity for reform might only come once, and it shouldn't be so radical in the first place.
Of course, since all the necessary preparations have been made and various crisis agreements have been signed, such unlucky people are destined to be very few, but this is still very heartbreaking.
"No. 7! No. 7! Don't move!"
But at this time, a screaming voice sounded in the monitoring room, and everyone noticed.
While most of them fell to the ground struggling to hold on, or were simply pulled out by chains, the professional who looked the youngest looked at everything around him with a surprised look on his face.
He had stood next to the "eye" and even tried to touch it.
And his murmur was amplified into the monitoring room, causing a period of silence.
"I know, why can't I move? I don't feel anything at all? Is it really activated?"
