All of a sudden, a strange light shone in the distance.
Feng Bujue immediately turned off the lighting device in his hand and looked into the distance … At the end of the dark and narrow corridor, a scarlet spot was particularly eye-catching.
"Is that the exit …" Brother Jue said, "Red light … I feel like there's a conspiracy."
He slowed down slightly and slowly approached the entrance of the cave. Not long after, he felt an obvious heat flow in his face.
Because the slope of the corridor was slightly downward, the location of the safe house was below the surface and the temperature was lower. Now that he was close to the entrance of the cave, the temperature suddenly rose to about 35 degrees.
"Oh … If this is the general temperature of this world, it's going to be difficult …" Feng Bujue said.
Actually … it was not difficult. When he said this sentence, he already had a countermeasure in his mind …
The easiest way was to buy another set of spare clothes. In the future, when he entered the free exploration mode, he could change into another set of clothes before entering. With Brother Jue's personality, it was very likely that he would spend a very low cost to make a set of "Fire Cloud Evil God Suit" with a vest, shorts, and flip-flops. With that kind of design, it would be fine even if it was 40 degrees.
Whoosh —
When Feng Bujue just arrived at the entrance of the cave, a hot wind swept by. The heat was like the lid of a steamer being opened, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Sigh … It's really a desert …" Feng Bujue looked at the endless rolling yellow sand in front of him and sighed.
Although he was mentally prepared, when he saw it with his own eyes, he was still quite disappointed.
He would rather be randomly sent to a universe where Skynet and humans fought in the apocalypse than be assigned to a place where even birds don't shit. But reality once again proved that … life was not as you wished.
"Okay … I can't give up hope." Feng Bujue said as he covered his mouth and nose with his gloves, stepped out of the corridor, and stepped into the endless desert. "Maybe this is a corner of the DC or Marvel universe …"
This sentence was indeed his inner thoughts. The universes that Feng Bujue wanted to go to the most were undoubtedly these two universes that were filled with superheroes.
First of all, he had a very comprehensive understanding of the two universes, such as the personalities, abilities, and weaknesses of the main characters, as well as the major events that were about to happen or had already happened, he knew everything like the back of his hand. Secondly, these two cosmoses were abnormally rich in resources. Advanced technology, magic, genetic derivatives of mutated humans, aliens, and even Cosmos Gods could be exploited.
In addition, there were some personal reasons. Brother Jue had always wanted to do a few things, such as bankrupting Batman, traveling to the planets of the Yellow Lantern Corps, talking about life with Dr. Manhattan, taking off Dr. Destruction's mask, listening to King Blackbat sing, turning Tony Stark into a woman, and so on …
It could be said that these two universes were like treasure troves. The stronger the player's ability, the more benefits they could obtain. Moreover, these benefits were almost inexhaustible.
However … it turned out that Brother Jue was overthinking things.
Why would the system send him to such a good place …
…
"General, the drone in the third experimental zone seems to have captured something."
"Switch the image to the main screen."
"Yes, sir."
"Hmm … Is that … an Earthling?"
"According to the appearance database, there is an 84 percent chance that it is an Earthling, a 10 percent chance that it is an alien, and a 6 percent chance that it is some other shapeshifting species."
"Humph … No matter what it is, capture it first."
"Understood."
"Attention, first team. An unknown intruder has appeared fifty kilometers to the west of the base. Please capture it immediately."
…
Looking at Feng Bujue, he had no idea that he had been targeted. At that moment, he was sprinting through the desert.
Brother Jue had just realized that the special effect of Void Tread was just as effective on sand. Therefore, for him, running through the desert was easier than walking. It was like running on flat ground.
"No matter what, as my first safe house in this world, it can't be located in a deserted environment where I won't run into anyone for days …" Brother Jue thought as he ran. "If that's the case, I might have to leave the scenario due to game time before I find the next safe house." He licked his dry lips. "Running in a straight line like this, I'll definitely run into something. Even if I can't walk out of the desert, I should at least find a camp or an oasis."
In just ten minutes, his clothes were soaked in sweat, and the high temperature caused the water in his body to drain rapidly. Even though the players did not need to eat or drink in the scenario, the feeling of 'fatigue' and 'discomfort' would cause a drain on their Stamina Points. When their Stamina Points dropped to zero, their Life Points would be threatened. Therefore, the 'environment' was the player's enemy.
"The sun here makes me worry as well …" Feng Bujue raised his head to look at the sky. "The color is obviously different from the sun that I know, and I wonder how strong the ultraviolet light is … If this is not Earth, then it's hard to tell how the celestial bodies move. Perhaps the sun here won't set for another fifty hours, or … the temperature at night will be higher than in the day, or perhaps … it's actually night and the red thing in the sky is actually the moon …"
Without realizing it, his mind started to wander, and he started to fill in the blanks in his mind.
In a normal scenario, due to the limitation of the mission, time, and map, Feng Bujue did not have the chance to understand the details of the world. But in free exploration mode, 'exploration' was the focus. The players could abandon the normal scenario and explore endless possibilities.
Because in this mode, there was no so-called 'goal', and the players did not have to follow the routine of killing monsters to level up and obtain equipment. If they wanted to, they could even run for president. Of course, every once in a while, they would have to leave this world.
Click click … Click click …
Suddenly, a sound came from behind a sand dune to the left of Brother Jue. It sounded like the footsteps of a large animal.
Feng Bujue turned toward the sound and saw a few large metallic heads poking out from behind the sand dune.
"Robots?" Feng Bujue's first reaction was … Transformers. But after a few seconds, he realized that was not right. The cockpits of the large mechas were transparent and were located at the stomach of the mecha. There were pilots inside the cockpits.
This was in broad daylight, so Brother Jue's eyesight was extremely good. He focused and realized that the pilots were not human. Even though their body shape was similar to a human's, their shoulders were strange. These creatures' shoulders were raised high, and the highest point was close to their temples. Their armpits were about the same level as their necks.
Since these 'people' were all wearing the same green uniform and helmet, for now, Feng Bujue could only see the difference of 'bone structure'. If he observed them from a close distance, the difference between them and normal humans would be even greater.
"Hmm … Look closer. Their bodies also have the shape of an M on their shoulders …" Feng Bujue stopped moving and waited for the other party's reaction.
"Earthling, cross your arms in front of your chest! Stand there and don't move! "One of the mecha pilots warned Feng Bujue.
The voice was obviously amplified and came from a part of the mecha, so Feng Bujue could hear it clearly even though he was standing more than ten meters away.
"Ah, they really are aliens …" Brother Jue followed the instructions and crossed his arms in front of his chest. "Uh … Wait, from their point of view, I'm the 'alien' …" He began to observe the other's actions with great interest. He began to speculate in his mind. For example, this race's technological level, cultural level, social structure, reproduction method …
"Reporting to base, this is team one. I'm the team leader, Jiejiejiejie. The target seems to be able to understand our language and has not made any obvious moves to resist." Jiejiejie spoke into the communicator in the lead mecha. "Can we proceed with Capture Strategy Number Three? Over."
After a short moment of silence, the base replied, "Yes, please be careful. Jiejiejie, over."
After receiving approval from the higher-ups, Jiejiejie turned on the loudspeaker and said to Brother Jue, "Earthling, you are under arrest. Please cooperate with us and do not make any unnecessary resistance."
Feng Bujue stood still and did not move at all. He really wanted to cooperate with the other's actions, but he did not know what to do.
"What should I do …" Brother Jue pondered. "If it was on Earth … the regular army would usually ask the subdued to put their hands behind their head and kneel on the ground. But here, they asked me to stand with my arms crossed … Of course, this is understandable. With their skeletal structure, it would be difficult for them to put their hands behind their head. " His gaze wandered as he counted the number of mecha in front of him. There were a total of eleven mecha. "Based on this train of thought, in the eyes of this race, bowing might be equivalent to contempt, nodding might be equivalent to mockery, smiling might be equivalent to anger, touching legs is sexual harassment … Oh, wait, touching legs on Earth is also …"
Click click, click click.
Jiejiejie's mecha came forward and approached Brother Jue. The mecha was about ten meters tall, and its body shape was similar to its operator's, a humanoid with high shoulders.
"Stand on the robot's palm," Jiejiejie said as he controlled the mecha to extend its hand.
Feng Bujue did as he was told without hesitation. The moment he stood on it, the robot's palm began to change shape. In two seconds, it became a spherical cage.
Jiejiejie let out a sigh of relief. He adjusted his tone and said seriously, "I am Second Lieutenant Jiejiejiejie of the Shrugged Shoulders Army. I now officially announce that you are under arrest for stealing military secrets."
"Alright … As the saying goes, adapt to the circumstances …" Feng Bujue laughed at himself.
