In the end, they had no choice but to spend the night in the village.
Of course, Misaka Mikoto was scared out of her wits. After all, this was a village where someone had just died. Furthermore, Fangzheng's description of a corpse that had been dead for more than ten years and could still move was too terrifying. Misaka Mikoto dragged Shirai Kuroko, Zutenriko, and Rei to one of the guest rooms. Alyssa and Phiri stayed in the other room. As for Fangzheng … he slept in the living room.
But Fangzheng did not mind. He was currently checking on the players' work!
After three rounds of screening, apart from those whose levels were not high enough and those who failed the test, most of the max-level players had entered this "new dungeon". Of course, Fangzheng had also spent some of his divine power to raise the maximum level of the players from 70 to 80. After all, he had to give the players some motivation to level up and fight monsters, right?
Jelny became the first main city of the players in this apocalyptic world. After the players helped Jelny to complete the defense and repair, they began to spread to the surrounding areas as Fangzheng had expected. Of course, this was not an easy task because these players were unregistered residents in this world and did not have proper procedures. If they wanted to go to other mobile cities, they would need to go through proper procedures. This meant that the players had to first complete a certain level of quests in Jelny, then apply for the documents. Only then could they leave Jelny and take the wandering bus to other cities.
With the help of Xiao Hei and the others, Fangzheng issued two different branches of quests to the players. One was the main quest. The players had to go to other mobile cities, build a good relationship with them, and use various methods to explore their core reactor.
The other was to fight monsters in the wild — to put it bluntly, they had to go to those abandoned mobile cities to look for the core. Of course, considering that such abandoned cities were very dangerous, it was no different from a dungeon in the players' eyes.
Most of the players chose to do the main quest step by step and took their own vehicles to other mobile cities. Some players were more adventurous, so they went straight to the wilderness to explore the abandoned cities. So far, although no players had successfully come into contact with the core reactor, as long as everything went smoothly, it was only a matter of time.
Next up …
After Fangzheng checked the current mission progress on his personal terminal, he picked up a book from the table and flipped it open.
On Monday, God created the world.
On Tuesday, God divided order and chaos.
On Wednesday, God adjusted the minute values.
On Thursday, God allowed time to flow.
On Friday, God saw every corner of the world.
On Saturday, God rested.
Then, on Sunday, God turned his back on the world.
"Huang Quan is full, this world will soon come to an end. Sigh, I screwed up. "
God suddenly appeared in front of everyone, leaving only this sentence before disappearing without a trace. From that day onwards, humans would no longer die. Even if the heart stopped beating and the flesh rotted, the dead would still continue to move. No new humans appeared. Soon, this place became a world of the dead.
However, the tomb keeper appeared.
The tomb keepers were the last miracle that the gods had given to mankind. They built tombs to bury the dead, allowing them to sleep for eternity. At the same time, it was the job of the tomb keeper to help the living sleep peacefully.
"What a strange story."
Fangzheng frowned as he looked at the story in front of him. He did not know whether it should be called a fable or a record. This was definitely not an ordinary fairy tale. It was more like a record of how the world was created. After all, if it was a record of the creation of the world imagined by humans, there would not be such technical words as "division" and "fine-tuning". It was more like an experimental record, just like "dripping three drops of B liquid from A to C test tube to obtain D reagent" … The only difference was that the recorder himself might not understand science, so he could only record what he saw in this way.
But did God really exist in this world?
After reading the record given by the Golden King of Nightmares, Fangzheng knew that the core system of this world had split the backup data and sent it to several worlds before it self-destructed. But the one with real self-consciousness should be the AI that had now become the Golden King of Nightmares.
Or was there some data in this world that was contaminated by Chaos, so it became like this?
But even if it was not contaminated by Chaos, this endless loop was still very dangerous.
Fangzheng guessed that one day, the "program" responsible for the operation of this world must have a "bug" in this area. Just like in many games, there would be infinite respawns or infinite deadlocks in certain areas, this area obviously could not keep up with the "changing rhythm" of other places.
Therefore, if it was not contaminated, monsters from other parts of this world would not come in, because the two sides could not exchange information at all. Whether it was the Aragami or the contaminated beasts, there was no corresponding data and map resources in this relatively isolated "dungeon". So even if you input the data itself, it would self-destruct.
Just like Fangzheng's Starling Battleship.
Therefore, the people here would not die either.
"This is really a troublesome place … Why does the Goddess of Order always leave me with such troublesome things …"
Closing the book in his hand, Fangzheng grumbled, then looked out the window.
But it was not entirely a bad thing. If it was properly integrated, maybe … this world could really be saved.
Of course, it was just a possibility.
Just like that, the night passed.
Fangzheng slept well that night. Misaka Mikoto, on the other hand, had two dark circles under her eyes. Her biggest mistake was squeezing Zuo Tianlei with them yesterday. Zuo Tianlei, who thought that it was a Girl's Talk, instantly became excited. Usually, in such a situation, they would definitely talk about urban legends.
Therefore, poor Misaka Mikoto, after looking at the corpses for half the night, was dragged into listening to urban legends for half the night. She almost broke down.
In the end, even Teresa Zuo fell asleep while talking, but Misaka Mikoto could not fall asleep. In the end, when the sun rose, Fangzheng was shocked when he saw Misaka Mikoto coming down with two dark circles under her eyes.
"What the heck, what happened to you?"
"Nothing, I didn't sleep well last night …"
As she spoke, Misaka Mikoto looked around her and curled up her body.
"Let's get out of here … … I feel … … uncomfortable here … …."
"Do you want to take a ride?"
"I want to take a walk!"
In the end, under Misaka Mikoto's request, everyone had no choice but to eat something and continue on their way. However, almost everyone had the same thought, which was that they did not want to sit in the tank anymore. It was not because the tank was fast, but because Fangzheng's piloting skills were too terrifying!
Basically, the tank under Fangzheng's control moved in a straight line, crashing into everything in sight. Occasionally, it would lose its center of gravity and tilt to the side. What was worse was that Fangzheng would hold the joystick and mutter to himself, "It doesn't feel like this when I'm playing the game …". The girls were terrified when they heard that. If they accidentally drove into a lake, they would all be doomed!
After thinking about it, the girls felt that it was better to calm their spirits and take a walk. Coincidentally, this area was not as barren as other places. Looking at the endless green grassland and the distant lakes and mountains, as well as the swaying wheat fields, it was also a kind of relaxation, wasn't it?
As long as they didn't think about the dozens of people who died here a few days ago.
Just like that, the girls chatted and laughed as they set off. As for Fangzheng, he held a roujiamo and followed behind them as he chewed on it.
Whoosh!
However, not long after the girls walked out of the village, they suddenly heard a soft sound. Then, they saw two round black shadows flying out from the bushes and landing at the feet of the girls. This made the girls who were chatting and laughing at each other stunned. When they looked closely, they realized that what had landed at their feet were actually two grenades!
"Watch out!"
Zuo Tianlei reacted quickly and waved his hand. Following that, a strong gust of wind rose from the ground and blew away the two grenades. However, as soon as the two grenades left the ground, they exploded with a loud boom. The group of girls was instantly engulfed in smoke.
"Hahahaha!"
At that moment, a few young men dressed in rather non-mainstream clothes jumped out from the grass on both sides of the road. They were holding all kinds of guns in their hands and started firing at the people in front of them.
"Ya — —!"
Hearing the gunshots, the girls screamed. Fortunately, Shiroi Kuroko was not slow to react. He quickly waved his hand and brought the others to the other side of the street. At this moment, Alisa had also raised her Divine Armament. With a "kacha" sound, the greatsword in Alisa's hand suddenly turned into a Gatling gun. In an instant, it spun and exploded, spraying an unparalleled barrage of bullets at the enemy in front of her.
Bang bang bang!!
The few old guns were no match for the Gatling gun. Before Misaka Mikoto could do anything, Alisa's Gatling gun had already swept across them and they were all knocked out.
After confirming that there were no enemies in front of them, the Gatling gun in Alisa's hand let out a low growl and slowly stopped.
"What the hell is going on!?"
At that moment, Zuo Tianlei and the others were still in a state of shock. Who would have thought that they would be blown up by a grenade while they were out for a stroll in the morning?
"I don't know either, but they're not friendly."
Alisa shook her head.
"But now, they should all be …"
However, before Alisa could finish her sentence, the few people who were knocked out by her actually stood up again.
"Hahahaha, that was fun, more!"
"How is this possible?"
Hearing that the other party was still yelling, Alisa had a look of doubt on her face. After all, she was very sure that she had hit the enemy's vitals. Even if she did not hit the target, shouldn't they be crying and screaming at the moment? How could they still laugh?
At the same time, as a gust of wind blew, the smoke on the battlefield slowly dissipated. Following that, the girls finally saw the attackers in front of them clearly.
They were a few young people who were dressed very unconventionally. They looked to be in their twenties. There were both men and women among them, and they wore tattered leather jackets and windbreakers. They were holding rifles and pistols in their hands, but that was not important at that moment. What was important was their appearance.
Alisa's attack did not miss at all. At that moment, these people's hearts, shoulders, and even heads had been blown out by the Divine Armament. One of the men even had half his skull blown off by Alisa's Divine Armament bullet, and the gray brain matter inside could still be seen. Logically speaking, these people should all be dead, but ….
"Oh, I didn't know that these chicks are so hot."
"That's what I like, hahahaha!"
"Come on, little girl, or I'll let you have a taste of my bullets?"
Seeing these people with their hearts pierced, their bodies torn, and their heads smashed in, still chatting and laughing like they were alive, the girls were stunned.
"What, what the hell is going on!"
