Gate of Apocalypse

Early morning, Brazil, the streets of Rio de Janeiro.

This is the edge of the normal downtown area, and one block beyond that is the favela. On the left and right side of a road are two very different styles of buildings. On the east side are steel and concrete buildings, while on the west side are potholes and shacks made of sheet metal and tin.

In a pickup truck on the side of the road, there were two people sitting.

"Do you still have to come into the copy with me?" Tina held the steering wheel and twisted her head to look at Yang Yi in the passenger seat, "This draft is without you, there are still twenty-six minutes before the copy starts, it's still too late for you to leave the copy area."

"You go alone, I'm not at ease." Yang Yi stared ahead and spoke in a dry voice.

"It's the same answer every time." Tina sighed, "Are all of you men of the Blade Mountain Fire Sea so rigid and uninteresting?"

Yang Yi only shook his head and didn't answer.

"Well, no matter what, thank you." Tina looked at Yang Yi sideways: "If I die, help me take care of Joshua."

"You come out and take care of it yourself."

Yang Yi shook his head again, took out a cigarette from his arms and lit it. Tina sighed and rolled down the windows on both sides of the car: "Smoking again? Such a hot day, can't you let me enjoy the air conditioning for a while? I haven't seen you that addicted to smoking before."

"Before you were pregnant." Yang Yi took a deep puff of smoke and exhaled a smoke ring towards the window: "Haven't you noticed that I haven't smoked in front of Joshua either?"

"...... So that's how it is." Tina was silent for a moment and smiled, "Thank you for taking care of that. Gibbs, if he's still alive, he'll appreciate you taking care of our children too."

Yang Yi did not say anything, only closed his eyes and silently gulped the smoke.

Soon, the time came to an end. The two people received a prompt in their personal systems at the same time that the copy had started.

And at the same time, a light screen wrapped the two people in it.

[Prompt: No. SN-2166 Rio de Janeiro copy opened!

Plot Background: The fish people in the depths of the ocean finally ushered in the unification after a long period of chaos and began to invade the land, intending to become the ruler of the ocean and land.

The first stage of the mission: the survival of the fish people need the high humidity environment created by the water mist sea tree. Destroy the water mist sea tree, can make the fish people suffocate and die.

A, the coordinates of the water mist sea tree will be randomly assigned to each player's personal system, when the currently assigned water mist sea tree is destroyed, the coordinates of the next water mist sea tree will be obtained.

B, the water mist sea tree has self-recovery ability and cannot be completely destroyed by normal means. Use high particle radiation source to stop the growth function of water mist tree. Each player is assigned one High Particle Radiation Source, which can be dropped or picked up.

C, after 12 hours, settle the number of all destroyed water mist sea trees. The difficulty of the second stage will be adjusted according to this quantity.]

As the system prompt appeared, Yang Yi and Tina simultaneously felt some stickiness arising from their breathing.

The humidity of the air suddenly increased, and a faint mist suddenly appeared around.

The increase in humidity was not so much that one could not breathe, but the sticky, wet feeling on the body was still uncomfortable.

What changed was not only the humidity, but also the surrounding environment. Two people in front of the original should be a row of low shacks, but now they have disappeared without a trace, replaced by a large dense jungle.

In front of the two, there was also a small mechanical injection device in front of each of them, and through a small piece of glass casing, a purple liquid could be seen shaking inside.

"We've been ...... transferred."

Yang Yi pushed the door and got off, turned his face to look around, and immediately lowered his head and took out a satellite positioning device and pressed it a few times: "But the distance is not far, it just transferred us outside the city."

"This situation has happened before." Tina also acted calm: "In order to change the situation within the replica mission area, all players were moved outside the area before the replica started."

"According to the description of this copy, the entire Rio de Janeiro must have been overrun by those monsters by now." Yang Yi pushed the door and got out of the car, "Let's go."

......

As the light curtain dispersed, a dense crowd appeared on a hilltop.

In addition to Adric and the hundred Zero City combatants he was leading, there were also other members of the Meteorite Battle Team besides Chen Xiaolian.

"Finally ......"

Adric turned his head back and glanced at the fighters behind him.

With a neat and tidy movement, a hundred Sentinel mechs were taken out at the same time, entered, and saluted Adric.

Looking at the majestic team behind him, Adric's heart suddenly flooded with a hint of emotion.

Two hundred and twenty-one days had passed since the fall of Zero City.

For two hundred and twenty-one days, the people of Zero City were like rats in a ditch, hiding and never showing their faces again.

Finally ...... once again, they have returned!

"The last copy was still fighting for life and death, and now they have actually fought side by side."

Tire glanced at Adric beside him and smiled.

But this was not something unusual among the Awakened world. He was just casually saying that. Now Adric had become Chen Xiaolian's partner, not to mention that the two sides did not have any grudges, and the hostility was only because of the mission setting of the copy.

"This copy, how should I complete?" Adric didn't pick up a fight and asked straightforwardly.

Before entering the copy, Chen Xiaolian had already told Adric that his team had the ability to access the entire list of tasks of the copy.

In a situation like this now, there was no need to continue hiding anything from Adrick. Sharing information with each other would be more beneficial to the future development.

"That what the hell tree, there are fifty-three of them in total, basically evenly distributed within the city limits of Rio de Janeiro." Qiao Qiao checked his personal system, "The task of the first stage is to destroy as many trees as possible, and the number of trees destroyed determines the difficulty of the second stage."

"Be specific." Adric nodded his head.

"If the Water Mist Sea Tree is not killed, it will mutate after twelve hours and evolve into a Water Mist Sea Beast. The water mist released by the water mist sea tree is just able to maintain the survival of the surrounding sea people, but the water mist sea beast can move on its own, in addition to the water mist emitted can also significantly increase the combat power of the nearby sea people. The task of this stage is to kill all the water mist sea beasts. On the whole, this copy is not complicated, just need to fight, after all the two stages are completed, the copy is over."

"So it's normal to say that it should be more beneficial to complete the mission by destroying as many Water Mist Sea Trees as possible in the early stage." Tire rubbed his chin.

"What's the difference?" Roddy shrugged disdainfully: "What sea trees and also sea beasts, how much difference in difficulty would it be to kill them?"

"No hidden quests?" Tire looked at Qiao Qiao.

"There is, but only one." Qiao Qiao nodded: "There is an easy way to complete the mission. In the first stage of the copy, if you inject an excessive amount of high particle radioactive source in the same water mist sea tree, after more than ten copies, it will trigger a mutation, carrying radioactive substances in the released water mist, which will be lethal to the sea people within its influence. By the second stage of the copy, it will also still be able to mutate into a water mist sea beast that can move on its own and be controlled by the team that completes the hidden mission."

"So cool?!" Xia Xiaolei's eyes immediately lit up: "Wouldn't that mean that ...... just needs to control a Water Mist Sea Beast, and wherever it goes, the sea races will die out? Then this is a straightforward win!"

"That's pretty much it." Qiao Qiao nodded: "But the key is that the reward will be significantly lower. In the first stage, the reward for killing each tree is 500 points, while the second stage is 1500 points for the Water Mist Sea Beast, while the reward for killing the Sea Clan soldiers will also be significantly higher because they have been strengthened. However, once the Water Mist Sea Tree has mutated, the points and item drops that may be obtained within the entire copy, whether it is a Sea Clan soldier or a Water Mist Sea Beast, are reset to zero."

"Got it." Rody heaved a slap: "Simply put, the hidden mission of this copy is like a cheat code in the game, honestly playing, you can directly pass normally. But if you use the cheat code, you can't get the reward."

"Then it would be very chicken." Tire thought about it and shook his head: "Although Zero City has now been rebuilt with some material production capacity and is in the process of further improvement, points are still very important. Not to mention the most crucial issue is that we entered this copy in order to give Zero City a boost!

If we take this hidden mission route, it means that there will be almost no combat. In that case, how else can we go and show off the force? Adric, do you agree with me?"

Adric nodded his head without hesitation, "Of course."

"Then ...... specific mission strategy ...... how do you plan to do it?" Tire looked at Adric: "Since our leader asked us to join the copy together, then our actions must be planned together."

"I have no opinion." Adric shook his head slowly, "I told you before we left, it's all up to you."

"Okay." Tire was originally just polite, see Adrick so patronizing, he did not pretend to push: "The intensity of this copy does not look high, we can split up. Divide your hundred people into ten teams, we have a total of nine people here, plus you included, each leading a small team, acting at the same time."

"If you guys can do it, I can do it." Adric also has nothing to worry about. The hundred people brought out, all fitted with Sentinel mechs, in addition to himself and Tian Lie are S-class, the strength of each of Tire and others is also quite not weak. For an ordinary copy, there was no pressure.

"Let's go, let them know that Zero City is back!"

Soon, a hundred Sentinel Mechs split into ten teams and sped off in a line of fish according to the directions assigned by Tire.
