Gate of Apocalypse

In the hotel room, everyone sat in a circle.

After Chen Xiaocai left, after each copy began, the meteorite squad would hold a pre-war meeting, and everyone would participate in the discussion to determine the chosen direction of mandate implementation.

And in addition to the copies specified by the system, the Meteorite Squad constantly gathers information on all copy alerts in the Awakener's secret network and enters the copy area before the mission begins, actively participating in the copy.

Chen Xiaocai left without a trace. It has been six months now. Over the past six months, Meteor Squad has been involved in 35 copies.

Early on, Meteor Squads had to rely on working with Star Rock Squad Greater China to get on their huge hitchhikers, but soon they would be able to complete the tasks they had chosen to perform alone in the copy.

After all - this plugin by Jojo is outrageous and provides access to all branch task options for ongoing copies from your personal system, choosing the most profitable and least risky tasks to perform. And this fat, apart from having to rely on other teams in the early days, is naturally good to swallow alone.

After all the resident teams in Zero City died and disappeared, the Meteorite Squad has now entered the threshold of a first-rate team of awakeners.

And this time in Los Angeles, it's the 36th.

“Roddy, if you want to take the Hidden Task 3 route so badly, then tell me what you think.” Tires stare at Roddy.

“Okay, let me start with my point.” Roddy cleared his voice and said, “I've analyzed it over and over on the way back.

First, the two branches of the first phase do not affect the choice after entering the second phase. And with the strength of our Meteor Squad now, the U.S. military's fighting power is no longer a threat. We can choose the second branch until the meteorite is escorted to the Arizona base, where we can earn 3,000 extra points.

And then for the second phase, I think we should rule out the option of destroying meteorites first. The best thing about taking this route is that it is safe and secure, able to accomplish the task in the first place, away from the copy, without any risk. At the same time, however, there are too few gains to be made. The team counts 1,000 points and the teeth are not sewn enough. What do you think? ”

Speaking here, Roddy paused for a moment and looked at the others with an enquiry.

“Agree.”

“Yes.”

“No comment. ”

With everyone's approval, Roddy laughed, continuing: "The routine route for the second phase is the next excluded route. Hidden Task 2 needs to protect a relatively fragile alien biosphere in the early stages compared to it, which will be slightly more difficult, but can instead rely more on their power in the later stages, which will be easier and ultimately more rewarding. ”

Roddy was even more excited to see the crowd nod: "Here's the contrast between two and three of the hidden tasks. While it sounds pretty good to directly enhance a basic attribute to B + and the same player can reuse it three times, i.e. to enhance three basic attributes to B +, this enhancement is more affordable for the weaker newcomers. And we… the basic attributes of each person have been reinforced to a high degree, and the general direction of development has long been determined, and the boundary effect is low with the use of such agents. For example, one of the lowest basic attributes right now is the energy value, but even if you upgrade it to level B +, it doesn't help me to manipulate the armor battle. For example... What is one of your lowest basic attributes right now? ”

“I am an agile assassin route, but to ensure close combat, the lowest physical and physical strength is Class B.” Flagwood shook his head: “It's not good for me to use it just to raise the level one. ”

“Exactly.” Rhodey Starter: “Everyone else is in a similar situation. Besides, Xia Xiaolei is equipped with parasitic armor like this. If this enhancement fluid alters his genes and reduces adaptability to the next level, if it fails completely, let him have nothing but resilience, as he did when he was just planted, it will not be compensated. ”

“That makes sense.” The tire nodded slowly.

“So we only have three options left to go. Though there is no reward for the points, the dominant identity can bring out this copy, which I believe will be a great advantage in a large regimental battle and no longer have to be afraid of mannaval tactics.” Roddy clapped his hands: "The argument is over. Live! ”

“Wait...” Jojo raised his hand and frowned: “There are a few more questions, don't be so sure yet. ”

“Say it." Roddy looked seriously at Jojo.

“Firstly, following the hidden route 3 requires a person to devour the alien embryos in the meteorite. This... who are we going to let do this? ”

“I propose, of course I do!” Rhodey slapped himself in the chest again.

“Have you ever wondered what the concept of replacing an intrameteorite embryo in a copy description is to become a dominant population? I'm not sure it will change the ability of a genetic-grabber, even… the mind.” Jojo's expression is serious: “Of course, the latter is unlikely. But even if the ability is changed, it can have a huge impact on the development of our team. Can you accept that you won't be able to drive the armor again? ”

“This…” Rhodey's expression began to hesitate.

“And… this is not the only thing that could change.” Jojo blinked: “Nobody knows what this alien gene will look like. What if you get these genes and you turn into a monster? Don't you still like that little angel Nicole? In case you ever see her again in the future, you already look like an octopus or lizard because of a genetic mutation..."

“Damn it!” Roddy stared wide-eyed: "Miss Joe, don't scare me! ”

“I just wanted to remind you.” Jojo smiles: “What do you say? Do you still want to be a villain? Remember, American villains do, but they're always just a few. Most of the villains don't look so good. ”

“Shit. Forget it! Let's just... take Hidden Route 2.” In just a few moments, Roddy's mind has seen dozens of disgusting images of himself being modified by alien genes, shaking his head quickly and driving them all out: “Fifteen thousand points... not much, but it's okay. Preliminarily, there was a lot of pressure, but depending on the mission description, as long as these alien creatures grew to a certain scale, they would be very helpful in combat. ”

“I prefer this too.” Jojo nodded and looked at the others: “Does anyone else disagree? ”

Xia Xiaolei and Qingmuxi shook their heads, and Xiu Xiu always did not speak in every pre-war meeting.

The tire sighed a little, slowly: “Didn't any of you... ever think of taking the 3.1 route of the hidden task? ”

“Huh?”

Roddy was the first to stare at the tire and stare at it in obfuscation: "Are you... crazy? ”

He didn't even consider the 3.1 option when he said his analysis earlier.

If it is your team that goes along the path of Hidden Task 3, the advantage is naturally enormous, just because there are so many uncertainties that you have to give up.

But... wouldn't it be sick to let this advantage be arched and wait for other teams to choose to devour meteorite embryos before defeating them?

“Though the point reward is 50,000 points, it's too risky.” Jojo frowned and said the same considerations as Roddy: “The ten embryos, which are equivalent to one-off spoils of war, cannot be brought out after use. It may be more valuable to us than an alien genetic enhancement fluid, but I still don't think it's worth the risk. Instead of an intrameteorite embryo, becoming a population dominant option is enough for one team to compete against all the other teams in this copy. This boost is too strong! With 100 hours of free development, who knows the other team can develop more than a huge legion of mutant creatures! ”

“In fact, we can take no risks at all.” Tire shakes head: "You're all in the wrong place. ”

“Misunderstanding?” Rhodey blinked twice.

Jojo's eyes flashed: “Tires, I think I see what you mean! ”

“What, did you understand that so quickly?” Roddy glanced at Jojo with confusion, frowned for a moment, and suddenly slapped his thigh: “I get it too! Find a weak team, grab a guy, take this guy to the embryo, force him to swallow it, then kill him right away! Tires, that's what you mean! ”

“That's it.” Tire nodded and sank, “killing him on the spot doesn't have to wait 100 hours before facing the mutant army he created. In the mission description anyway, there is no link between rewards and the diffusion of alien genes. ”

“Shit, I didn't know there was such a mess!” Roddy's face is amazed: “Shit, tires, other than the fact that you can't see clearly about men and women, you're really smart and completely out of tune with your muscles. ”

“How could Little Face mistake someone for designating Tires as Acting Head of Mission?” Jojo smiled slightly: “Well, do as the tires say. Tires, specific plans of action, you tell them. ”

“Too little information appears to be required to search for information about meteorite falls and shipments ourselves, or to wait for the system coordinate prompt ten hours later. But now that we know more detailed copy descriptions… we can find meteorite coordinates earlier and more conveniently than any other team.” Think about the tires: “There are no abnormalities in downtown Los Angeles right now, and it looks like the landing site is not within the city. According to the copy, however, the military launched a massive military crackdown, which could not be concealed without a leak at all. Roddy, use your mechanical mind skills to search the web for relevant information and see if you can find where the meteorite fell. And then —— we go right away, we wait for the rabbit, we pick a small, approaching team, and we prey! ”
