"I say … should we consider getting a car or something?" When Feng Bujue said that, he was following behind R2, running through the messy streets.
The two had left the shopping mall for quite some time. After they returned to the main street of the town, R2 led Feng Bujue to the north of the town.
"I know you want to conserve your energy, but …" R2 replied. "There are so many dead bodies of people and monsters on the street, as well as building debris, overturned cars, and trash. Driving will be inefficient. Furthermore, if you sit in a vehicle, you might be killed by such an attack. "
"Huh? What do you mean by such an attack … "Just as Feng Bujue was about to ask what that meant, a white beam as thick as a bowl came from the front left.
Feng Bujue moved with the momentum as he ran. His right leg was in front, and his left leg was in the air. His upper body was in the air, and his lower body was in the air. He leaned back, and with a sharp somersault, he barely dodged this sudden ambush.
The light beam that passed by hit a building dozens of meters away and exploded in the air, bursting into a fireball with a radius of about three meters.
"Look, if you sit in the car now, not only will you not be able to dodge this attack, you will also suffer the damage from the car explosion," R2 said calmly. The reason he did not help Brother Jue then was because based on his analysis, Brother Jue had the ability to evade this beam on his own.
"Okay, I understand what you mean …" Feng Bujue replied.
Actually, it was not easy for Brother Jue to dodge the beam. His reaction speed was secondary; the key was the help of the Soul's Eye, or else he would not have been able to execute such an extreme dodge.
"So many have appeared without us noticing …" R2 said as he looked around. From his perspective, he could see something else. Among the countless moving data codes, there were many pieces of unique colors moving, and these were the other Anomalies.
Feng Bujue could not see these. Currently, he was still at the stage of "seeing mountains as mountains and rivers as rivers" in the game. Therefore, as long as the enemy did not appear in his sight, he would not be able to determine their location.
"Why can't I see them …" Feng Bujue replied.
"Follow me closely. We have to speed up, or else we'll be surrounded." Before he finished, R2 had already sped up like an arrow.
Seeing this, Feng Bujue could only try his best to catch up.
His current speed was already the maximum that Feng Bujue could reach without activating Body Enhancement Spell. R2, however, was unusually relaxed. He could still talk as he ran. "At this speed, we won't be ambushed like before."
Feng Bujue did not reply because he did not have the energy to speak.
"Now is the time for me to explain what a 'backdoor' is." R2 knew about Feng Bujue's situation, so he did not wait for him to reply and continued. "Based on normal procedure, before the mirror screen is broken, the level three Anomalies should have completed their 'mission'. When the screen is broken, they will leave the sandbox. This is similar to the 'teleportation' that happens after you players clear the scenario.
"After that, the level four Anomalies that remain in the sandbox can freely destroy the data in the scenario. This process normally lasts for eight to nine hours, and then the level four Anomalies will have to leave. However, leaving is different from entering. The sandbox does not have a channel for them to teleport out. Therefore, there has to be a 'backdoor program'. "
R2 paused before continuing. "The designer of the sandbox is one of the three leaders of Origin, ROOT. He designed the original 'backdoor', and each sandbox only has one. It was to prevent high-level Anomalies from being trapped inside the sandbox due to various reasons. However, as the sandbox technology continued to improve, to allow more Anomalies to use the sandbox … he created a 'worm-like' backdoor that can replicate itself at high speed and randomly appear at any corner of the scenario. "
"Hah … Hah … Therefore, at this moment, I have countless ways to escape." Feng Bujue gasped for air and forced himself to finish the sentence.
"No, things are not that simple." R2 immediately poured a bucket of cold water on the idea. "Those doors are made for the Anomalies, and you are a player. Your data won't be able to pass through those 'backdoors'." He then changed the topic. "However, there is a door that you should be able to pass through."
"Is it the original door?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Yes, that is the original data for the backdoor program," R2 said. "Normally, it will be generated at the place where the data is the most concentrated."
"In other words, the center of the plot …" When Feng Bujue said that, the two had already slowed down.
This was because they had reached their destination — South Park Elementary School.
"Evil capitalism, a public primary school is actually standing strong in the face of such a disaster." Feng Bujue looked up at the school and complained. "When we passed the government building earlier, it was already a ruin, wasn't it?"
"That's not what you should be concerned about right now …" R2's tone was a little nervous, and his expression was solemn.
Just as Feng Bujue and R2 arrived, on the field of the school, many shadows appeared out of nowhere. There were more than one hundred Anomalies lying in ambush there.
They had been waiting for a long time …
Feng Bujue laughed drily. "This is why … I hate school."
"Let's stop the joke." A rather large female Anomaly took several steps forward and said, "R2 Sharp Wind, you entered our sandbox and killed so many of our comrades. I hope you can give us a reasonable explanation."
"Pay attention. The one who spoke is L2 Blood Orchid. She is also a level two Anomaly," R2 whispered to Feng Bujue beside him.
"Didn't you say the sandbox is for level three or four Anomalies?"
Before Brother Bujue finished, R2 interrupted him. "She probably found out what I did and purposely entered the sandbox to deal with me."
"Oh …" Feng Bujue looked calm on the surface, but internally, he knew that the situation before them was at its worst. "Based on their level, they are both level two Anomalies," he said internally. Even if R2 is stronger, he won't be able to kill the other in a short amount of time. Then, do I have to deal with the remaining hundred or so level four Anomalies alone?
Just as the battle was about to start, a change happened.
He saw a boomerang flying towards him from mid-air ….
This boomerang was made of normal wood, and its flying speed was not that fast, but when L2 saw this thing, her face was filled with shock.
"How is this possible?" L2 did not dare underestimate it. In her shock, she hurriedly jumped back.
The level four Anomalies did not seem to realize how scary this attack was. They just stood where they were without moving. In the next second, they were cut down by this seemingly ordinary "weapon" as if they were mowing grass …
Flesh and blood flew, and bone and skin shattered. The boomerang's large circle had killed more than twenty Anomalies.
Following the sound of wind, the boomerang flew back and returned to its owner's hand.
Everyone present turned their heads to look at him.
In the middle of the road outside the school gate stood a middle-aged man. He was Caucasian. He wore a pair of sunglasses, a classic white robe, and a crown of thorns. He had long brown hair and a neatly trimmed beard around his mouth.
"I'm here to save you, my child." As Jesus caught the boomerang with one hand, he removed his sunglasses. "May God bless you."
