Suddenly, a loud and fiery voice broke the deathly stillness of the tomb! The voice came from the public telephone in the airport next to them.
"So it's you … The Saint of Darkness who lives at the edge of the Realm. Your ability is so mysterious. You should be the sixth Bind, right? No wonder Carlos and the others died at your hands! No wonder even with the strength of my Gungnir, I couldn't take the life of your Divine Servant! "
At this moment, a skeleton suddenly got up from the ground. Its lower jaw opened and closed as it spoke in an emotionless voice.
"Loki, you've grown very fast as an apostle. Your party should be a seeded party of the Realm now, right? Why must you go against us?"
Loki said angrily.
"It was your Divine Servant who killed my core members. How dare you slander me? Is the New York airport your private territory? You don't even allow my people to pass through here? "
"That's just a clone. He's not a Divine Servant," Bind said flatly. "Your people are full of filth. I'm here to cleanse the world, so I won't allow any filth to enter. Your people attacked me because they coveted the Evil Sword Apophis, not because they wanted to pass through." Bind said indifferently, "That's all.
"That's just your side of the story!" Loki's voice sounded very angry on the phone. "Carlos, Razor, and Taji also have expensive treasures on them. It was clearly your Divine Servant who wanted to kill them and steal their treasures!"
Bind's voice turned cold.
"Do you think I'm lying? I'm a Saint of Darkness. Who do you think I am? Why would I lie to a little apostle like you? "
As soon as Bind's voice fell, there was a sudden noise in the bathroom on the third floor of the airport hall.
It turned out that the water tank hanging on the wall had probably not been repaired for too long, and a rusty screw had come off. As a result, the water tank full of water fell down with a crash, hitting a woman who was hiding in the toilet and not daring to breathe loudly. Her head was bleeding profusely.
The woman screamed in pain, but her dress was pressed down by the water tank. She struggled violently and finally moved the water tank away before escaping in horror. She was so lucky to escape. However, the water tank that she moved was stuck in place. The water in the water pipe sprayed out and slowly flowed over here. Then, it dripped down from the third floor and directly dripped onto the first floor, forming a water curtain.
Tie said coldly.
"I know you can definitely see what's going on here. Open your dog eyes wide and see who's the one who's trying to steal the treasure!"
It was clear that Bind was an extremely arrogant person and placed himself in a superior position. How could such a person be wrongly accused? Immediately, a series of images appeared on the water curtain. It was the conversation between Carlos, Razor, and Taji when they met the Divine Servant.
Then, Carlos, Razor, and Taji pretended to listen to his advice and wanted to leave, but they suddenly counterattacked and seriously injured the Divine Servant. Carlos even laughed wildly and said that he finally got his hands on the divine weapon, Evil Sword Apophis. Then … Bind intervened.
Because a large area of grass was maintained around the airport, the rats here were constantly getting rid of, especially in the non-runway area. It was normal for there to be two or three rat holes in the grass.
The Divine Servant was seriously injured, but he still fought tenaciously. Seeing that he could no longer avoid Taji's attack, he took a step back and suddenly stepped into an abandoned rat hole. His body tilted, and he narrowly avoided Taji's attack.
The rat hole was abandoned because it was a depression, so it was extremely easy for water to accumulate when the grass was watered. Therefore, when the Divine Servant stepped into the hole, a puddle of muddy water spurted out from under his feet and splashed onto Razor's face. Razor's vision was suddenly obstructed, and Carlos and Taji's attacks had just missed, so he immediately exposed an extremely rare and rare flaw!
The Divine Servant immediately lowered his body and rushed forward. He bent his elbows and hit Razor's ribs hard. The dull sound of bones breaking rang out. Razor's ribs were broken and pierced into his internal organs. Before he could cry out in pain, Apophis, which was tightly held by the Divine Servant, seemed to tremble. Suddenly, a shadow flashed past, and Razor's scream was smothered in his throat! Razor's eyes were wide open, and his throat made a continuous gurgling sound.
Not only that, his hands were tightly pinching the wound on his neck, like a toad waking up from hibernation. He let out a muffled cry, and then began to spit out bubbles. The difference was that toads spat out white bubbles, while he spat out blood bubbles.
After severely injuring Razor, the Divine Servant was also attacked. However, he immediately turned around and fled. Carlos and Taji were both shocked and angry. Naturally, they would not let go of Bind. However, after they chased him for about two hundred meters, large balls of white light appeared on the water screen. This meant that Bind's real body had arrived.
At this moment, Bind had no choice but to intervene. If Evil Sword Apophis were to be lost, it would be very difficult for him to explain himself to Sheyan. In addition, he happened to sense the wrath of Noah Realm C when he was plotting against Sanzi, so he could only withdraw himself and avoid the Realm's scan for the time being.
This was why Party Ace and the others felt that the enemy suddenly fell apart in the second half of the previous battle, and why the mastermind behind the scenes suddenly disappeared!
***
Party Ace and the others did not stay any longer. They did not want to be invited to a tea party by the FBI, so they went straight back to the base. Party Ace had applied for non-combat protection against Old Charlie before, but Old Charlie was still injured. It seemed that the parasitic Freddy in Old Charlie's body had played a big role in determining that Old Charlie's threat level exceeded the requirements for non-combat protection ….
They had finally plundered enough rare metals in this battle, so the plan could proceed smoothly. Their mission was also completed.
[Main Mission Collection: Successfully completed.]
[Mission Description: Obtain 5 kilograms of tritium, 700 grams of uranium, 700 grams of mercury, and 1,000 kilograms of rhodium within 72 hours.]
"Mission Hint: At this time, everyone is definitely not fighting for themselves. Behind them, their fathers, mothers, relatives, and friends are all supporting their will to fight to the death. Therefore, the intensity of the battle is very likely to be beyond imagination, and the friendship of the past will also be gone."
[You have successfully obtained enough rare metals.]
[You may choose your reward for this stage: 3 achievement points + 3 potential points + 100,000 utility points.]
After a short discussion, Zi, who was eager to be promoted, chose the achievement points, while the others chose utility points. This finally solved their current urgent need. Then, the next main mission appeared.
[Main Mission: Protection!]
[The rest of the contestants will consider assassinating the leaders of various countries and causing chaos as the main mission of this stage. Please try to protect the following important storyline characters. You will receive the corresponding points.]
[Assassinate the following key storyline characters: Jackson Curtis. Curtis (author) 30 points, Dr. Adrian (U.S. Geological Security Consultant) 30 points. "
[Charlie (radio neurotic man who owns the map of the Ark) 20 points. Carl Anhuser (President's Assistant, the fat man who later took over the position of President) 20 points.]
[You will also receive the corresponding points for personally investigating and obtaining the following data:]
[First-hand data of the Megaden copper mine in India: 10 points.]
[First-hand data of the bottom of the Yellowstone National Park in the United States: 10 points.]
[Temperature data of 10,000 metres deep in the Mariana Trench: 10 points.]
[….]
[The total score of your party must not be less than 100 points, or the mission will be considered a failure.]
[Additional comments will be given if the score is higher than 100 points.]
[Warning: Jackson Curtis. One of the two important storyline characters: Jackson Curtis (author) and Dr. Adrian (USGS Security Advisor) must survive. Otherwise, no matter how high the score is, the mission will be considered a failure.]
[The punishment for failure of this mission is: all the benefits obtained before in this world will be stripped, and the data will be restored to the time when you first entered this world.]
***
[You have chosen the rescue side. You have reached this stage.]
[New Achievement System: The Great Collector.]
[This achievement can only be triggered and completed in the 2012 apocalypse world.]
[Try to collect and obtain the following world-renowned and precious cultural relics, and help them survive the 2012 apocalypse.]
[A: Representative Asian Cultural Relics: Along the River during the Qingming Festival, Preface to the Orchid Pavilion, Seal of the Shibi Emperor Ramayana Relief (India)]
[B: Representative European Cultural Relics: Mona Lisa's Smile, Venus of Milo, Samothrace Goddess of Victory, King's Scepter 'Star of Africa'.]
"C: African Cultural Relics (Egypt is Africa by default, because Egyptian football participates in the African Cup of Nations): Nigerian Golden Mask, Rosetta Stone, Tutankhamun's Golden Coffin, Sphinx's Roaring Golden Contract Slate.
[D: Representative American Cultural Relics: Crystal Skull, Dagger of the Golden Priest, Pupil of the Quetzalcoatl, Tusk Mask of the Indian Chief, Ancestor Doll of the Voodoo Cult.]
This achievement system can be completed by a team, or by a single person.
If the achievement is completed individually, one only needs to collect one representative work from each continent, making a total of four pieces. However, the works of art from each continent cannot be substituted for each other.
For example, if one obtains the Along the River during the Qingming Festival, Mona Lisa's Smile, Sphinx's Roaring Statue, and Crystal Skull, the mission will be completed. However, the Along the River during the Qingming Festival, Preface to the Orchid Pavilion, Sphinx's Roaring Statue, and Crystal Skull are not considered completed. Although they have collected four pieces, they still lack the representative European art.
If the achievement is completed by a team, at least three representative works from each continent must be collected.
In order to entice Party Ace to actively complete this achievement, the attributes of the 'Great Collector' title were also announced.
[Great Collector:]
[Bronze-grade title.]
[The owner has proven his strength and has protected the treasures of human civilization well.]
[The wearer of this title will have an additional special effect of 10% increase in the probability of high-grade equipment dropping and the probability of successful equipment strengthening.]
[Title fusion with this title will not fail.]
***
Seeing these two attributes, the group of people was moved.
The additional special effect of 10% increase in the probability of high-grade equipment dropping and the probability of successful equipment strengthening was needless to say, while the attribute of 'title fusion will not fail' was indeed rare and valuable.
Sheyan had tried to fuse several seemingly useless titles before, and the difficulty of the process was needless to say. Just the fact that he had to burn the remaining titles as fuel during the fusion process was heartbreaking enough. Unfortunately, the success rate of fusion was extremely low, so even for a monster like Sheyan, the process of fusion was extremely painful. Therefore, he did not dare to act rashly.
Now that he had the attribute of 'title fusion with this title', of course he would have to fuse several of the most important titles together in one go. Although he would have to burn a little more titles this way, he would be able to fuse them all in one go. Therefore, there was no need for Sheyan to say anything. Everyone knew that he was determined to get this title.
After the previous battle, Sheyan had obtained two more titles:
[The Awakened Butcher]
[Dark Iron title]
[Condition: Kill 10 Awakeners]
[The wearer of this title: Damage to Awakeners increased by 10%, and damage to Awakeners reduced by 10%.]
***
[Sanitary Pad Friend]
[Hidden title: Unable to be rated.]
[The wearer of this title will have a strange ability. When facing a contestant who is infected by your disease, causing bronchitis complications, coughing and bleeding, you can say keywords such as' Sophie ',' Suting ',' Shulmei ', etc.] The symptoms on the contestant's body will immediately disappear, and the disease will be removed.
However, after the contestant hears the keywords, they will immediately be stunned for up to three seconds, and 10,000 utility points will be deducted from them. The wearer of this title will receive 5,000 utility points.
[The wearer of this title can only receive 50,000 utility points from one contestant at most. If the contestant does not have enough utility points, the utility points cannot be deducted.]
[The stun effect caused by 'Sanitary Pad Friend' cannot be weakened or exempted. This effect has' Domain Precedence '.]
***
After Sheyan and the contestants returned to the base, when the legendary figures saw that some of them had died, they all came to console them.
Although there were casualties among the various forces, those who died were actually fighting for themselves and their loved ones. It could be said that they died a worthy death. Party Ace, on the other hand, waded into these muddy waters to save them. The difference between this period of time and the favour owed to them was huge.
Sheyan could not forget about the mastermind behind the scenes. He knew that the mastermind had probably come to this world in person this time, so the best chance to kill him was in this world of 2012.
KD was indeed a wise man who was good at manipulating people's minds. He had a very thorough grasp of Sheyan's psychological activities. Therefore, even though he knew he was going to die, he still insisted on telling Sheyan the whereabouts of the mastermind behind the scenes. His meticulous and vicious thoughts were truly admirable. When two tigers fight, one of them will definitely be hurt. Whether it was Sheyan or the mastermind who died, KD had avenged himself.
Therefore, there was no reason for Sheyan not to make use of the power and connections of the legendary figures around him. He simply admitted that the people who had come to correct history had also arrived, and that his companions had died because of them.
Sheyan did not say much after that, but when the legendary figures of this world heard the words "correcting history", their eyes glinted fiercely. Even the mild-mannered Professor X, who had been on a killing spree for the past few days, had a murderous aura about him …. According to history, they and even their families had all died in the 2012 apocalypse, so wouldn't what they were doing now be changing history? How dare these people come to correct history? Therefore, they spared no effort to help search for the mastermind's whereabouts and investigate information.
However, everyone's focus was still on protecting the base. They no longer lacked materials, so they could concentrate on shrinking their defences. After the previous attack, they had learned from the painful experience and made the base impregnable. In addition, Professor X and Jean could now take turns with each other, so even though they suffered a lot of high-intensity attacks in the following days, their losses were minimal.
Dr. Octopus's talents were now fully displayed. The project he was in charge of had an abundance of raw materials, so he was able to fulfill all requests. The pressure of the death of his family was also quite great. On the fourth day, he actually managed to complete the airship formation that was part of the plan.
The seven behemoths floated in the air like floating islands. In order to keep it a secret, they only rose about seven or eight meters above the ground. Even so, they were already very astonishing. If it were not for the impending apocalypse, they would have attracted the attention of the government long ago.
The seven Motherships connected together provided additional buoyancy. Based on actual calculations and estimations, the number of people they could carry had exceeded the most optimistic estimate by 20%, assuming that they could stay in the air for two months. According to the final statistics, if all of them worked overtime, they could build a total of 52 airships before the end of the world, forming seven giant formations!
This level of productivity sounded amazing, but it was actually related to the current social environment. Airships originated from the Second World War, and it had been nearly a hundred years since then. Their various manufacturing processes and technologies had fully matured. In addition, they also had a group of legendary figures who could fill in the gaps with abilities other than science. Therefore, they only needed to fix a few key points, and success would naturally follow.
After staying in New York for a few days, while searching for relevant information, they also began to pay attention to the movements of their target. They knew that the mastermind behind the scenes was still hiding in the dark. It was like a thorn in their back, so they were very careful.
After a round of discussion, Sheyan reckoned that the opposing contestant would very likely be able to guess the main mission objective of their group. Thus, he decided to only pursue the most basic completion rate for the next main mission, and not for the mission to fail.
Instead, they could give the title of 'The Great Collector' a try.
Collecting these treasures was just a trivial task. If the other party did not know the specific list of treasures, it would be very difficult for them to follow the map. Although Party Ace had lost one member, Sheyan and Reef had both successfully advanced and obtained the enemy's equipment. Their strength had increased instead of decreased.
A sneak attack needed to be sudden. Once they had done it once, they would be alerted, and the next attack would not be as effective. Therefore, as long as Party Ace stayed together, it would be much more difficult to carry out the attack. With the ten bloody lives lost in Sheyan's hands, it would be very difficult for the mastermind behind the scenes to mobilize more people to besiege them. Those who could become Awakeners were no fools. Although the benefits were tempting, they had to be alive to enjoy them!
***
There was no doubt that the first thing to do in order to complete the main mission was to first capture Jackson Curtis. If anything were to happen to either Curtis (author) or Dr. Adrian (USGS Security Consultant), the losses would be the heaviest for Party Ace and Reef.
This was not a matter of utility points or equipment, but of returning to the state they were in before they entered this world …. Sheyan and Reef were still Growth Hunters! It was not easy for them to step on the grief and anger of Mogensha's death to level up, but if they returned to their original state, they would have nowhere to cry!
But there were some things that could not be rushed. No matter how hard Party Ace tried to inquire about Jackson Curtis, there was no news of him at all. There was no news of Curtis (author) and Dr. Adrian. The only news of the former was that he had gone on a trip, while there was no news of the latter at all. The current Ark project in the White House was led by the doctor. This could only mean that the Realm did not want the two of them to be found yet.
As the apocalypse approached, the number of leaks became more and more frequent. There would always be well-informed people who noticed the abnormality in this world and came to inquire about it.
Since they could not do it by force, they could still do it through literature. In fact, according to the six-degree theory, there would be no more than six people between you and a stranger. In other words, you could get to know any stranger through at most six people. It was not difficult to establish a relationship with the people here. More and more people began to come here to buy a "pirated version" of the ark ticket.
For these people, as long as they were healthy, had a skill, and had passed the vetting of Professor X, they were basically welcome. Therefore, driven by this common interest, the power of the base began to expand. For the government, this was a transitional period where stability was the key to maintaining stability in all aspects. Therefore, as long as the base did not publicly announce the apocalypse, did not cause harm to society, and did not confront the government, the government would turn a blind eye to the base's actions.
