The Legendary Mechanic

Katon Galaxy, Ninth Star District, Sea Blue Star.

Summer in South Africa is experiencing the heat, the sun is hanging high and the air is twisting at high temperatures.

At the moment of the opening of version 2.0, inside the third refuge, the original empty square, the players appeared in succession, hundreds, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands... the otherwise very empty square, became crowded in seconds.

Prior to the update, due to Han Xiao's [final position] assignment and the Star Sea Times' analysis of the 2.0 mainline, hundreds of thousands of players from Sea Blue Star were brought together to take refuge and chose to go offline here, when version 2.0 opened, and these hundreds of thousands of players went online at the third refuge.

Hundreds of thousands of people are hovering their heads around curiously.

“Is it version 2.0 now? ”

“Nothing seems to have changed. ”

“Hey, the upper limit of the level has been raised and experience can continue to be used to upgrade, it is indeed the new version. ”

“There's no other change, I really just want to try to shit in the game. ”

“Take your pants off party and weigh in. ”

The players argued and opened the panels to check the properties, and there was no change in personal information except that the capped level became capable of continuing to upgrade.

Soon, however, someone discovered that the prompt for a task had changed, and it was precisely [the final position] that the status of the task had changed from “frozen” to "on”.

This is the reward pool task that Han Xiao left before leaving. The task requirement is to protect the third shelter, so as to preheat the alienation disaster and attract the player to gather here. As he expected, this task is suspected by the player to be related to the 2.0 plot.

And now, the mission is open!

Doesn't that mean the “holocaust” in the mission tip has already begun?

Many players suddenly got excited, Tohaku Haunted's Blessings, the previous version of the main drama, they barely participated, this time finally a big event!

By the way, NPC or Black Ghost who released this mission... Oh, now it's called Black Star, is he still in the stars?

Thinking of Han Xiao, many players couldn't stop envying the group of professional players he had taken away, stepped into the stars earlier, and dumped them a few blocks for food.

While the players were watching, the broadcast suddenly sounded inside the shelter.

“All Inhumans stay where you are! I repeat, all Inhumans, stay where you are! ”

Soon, a large number of guards surrounded the square, looked uncertain and stared nervously at a huge crowd of players.

The Inhumans of the entire planet disappeared for a whole year, but suddenly appeared today, really scaring the managers of the Third Shelter, and Bennett hurried to send someone to control the scene.

Meanwhile, the players from the third shelter triggered the same mission.

[[Stay where you are]]

[Mission introduction: Many things happened on Sea Blue Star during your disappearance, at a time when civilization is at stake, staying where you are and waiting patiently for the person concerned to explain the situation]

This is a small task, with few rewards, and the players just want to figure it out. Hundreds of thousands of people stay in the square - mainly guards around, God knows if they will be attacked if they leave suddenly, nobody wants to avoid the good feelings of shelter at the beginning of the version.

Soon after, Bennett rushed in, looking at the mountains and seas, his eyes flashed with joy.

He recalls what Han Xiao once ordered, saying that the Inhumans were the central force in resisting this catastrophe. At this juncture, the Inhumans reappeared. He did not know the reason for this. He only knew that the Inhumans had arrived in a very timely manner, and this was the time to urgently need manpower.

Bennett pulled out the horn and said out loud: “Gentlemen, Sea Blue Star is suffering an unprecedented disaster and urgently needs help...”

He gave a quick account of the situation, and the players knew that more than a year had passed since the previous version, and just over a month earlier, a strange phenomenon had spread rapidly on Sea Blue Star, turning into a global catastrophe.

Sea Blue Star called it the "alienation disaster”.

A month after the outbreak of alienation, the entire planet's landscape has become volatile and the six regimes have collapsed in almost a month.

No one knows the cause of the disaster, only that it is a virus, called a “heterozygous virus”, that countless organisms, humans, beasts and even plants are infected, but there is no telling what the heterozygous virus looks like, how it spreads and how it works, and no one knows if they are infected or not.

When the virus does not strike, every infected person is no different than usual. Once the virus strikes, the infected person suddenly develops unusual desires, including and not limited to tendencies to kill, destroy, anger, sadness, madness, burn, hunger, thirst, etc., a weak person may turn into a murderer without blink at a moment, a normal person may suddenly squat wildly and swallow sand until it swells itself, and a decent woman may suddenly become a slut.

The scariest thing is that at the time of the episode, the patient remained sane, meaning that it was not uncontrolled or impulsive, but rather that these desires guided their thoughts and actions.

According to the survivors' afterthought, at the time of the onset, these desires originated from the heart and were their true thoughts, as if their personality had been tampered with and turned into another person, and they themselves could not detect them, and when they did, they would feel that their behavior was normal.

Bennett gave a few examples where a player with misty water quickly learned the horrors of alienation.

Red Maple was the first place to take a massive epidemic. Infected people in the army took up guns and shot their comrades. The army suddenly went into chaos. No one knew which soldier was the one who was infected. Civil war broke out. Tanks, helicopters, rockets and other weapons were used. One massive epidemic almost disintegrated half of Red Maple's military power.

The President even had a serious tendency to violence, and to plant mushrooms around the globe, it was fortunate that launching a nuclear bomb required a complicated process. If the button for launching a nuclear bomb was at the President's desk, the world was now peaceful, I'm afraid, and the President had been arrested afterwards.

All the absurdity that is not possible under normal circumstances, so unannounced, one person crazy, not scary, the horrible thing is that the world is crazy, it's like a bunch of demon dances.

No one knows when people around them will seize or even guarantee that they are not normal. This panic is unparalleled, as if the whole world had become enemies and could no longer trust others.

One month after the outbreak of alienation, social order broke down, many of the otherwise flourishing cities became obsolete, citizens had to relocate or seek refuge in order to be safe, pessimism became mainstream, and a view of the alienation scourge became popular globally, believing that nuclear radiation was the cause of the virus.

So countless civilians began to scold and accuse them of the budding war that brought them peace, thinking it was retribution, and it was the end!

After listening to the introduction, a lot of players got cold hair and thought about it. The virus was too horrible. The players had all sorts of speculations about the so-called "disaster” version 2.0, but didn't expect it to be such a weird situation.

What the hell is an alien virus?

At one time, the players are a bit obsessed, the time flow rate is not synchronized during the update period, the player's eyes only have a few days to update, the familiar world is subverted?

So exciting?!

“Isn't this virus insoluble?” There's a player asking.

Bennett shook his head, "At present, we have found two ways to fight xenobioviruses. First, the superpower is not easily infected, which has been proven. Second, our third shelter has developed an inhibitor that can immunize the virus for some time, but with limited capacity, we are intensifying the cultivation of raw materials, but far from enough. ”

The voice drops and the players' panel moves while triggering the mainline task!

[[Disaster of alienation]]

[Mission Profile: Sea Blue Star is suffering an unprecedented catastrophe, it is the responsibility of all creatures on the planet to resist alienation!]

[Mandate requirement: to contribute to the fight against alienation]

[Progress: 03000w]

[Condition of success: Progress achieved before isomerization virus becomes complete]

[Condition of failure: collapse of sea blue star civilization, forced evacuation of all survivors]

[Reward: depends on individual progress contribution (Note: even if overall progress is reduced due to viral growth, the individual's accumulated progress is included in the reward evaluation)]

Hundreds of thousands of players' task requirements are similar to those of Han Xiao, except that the player's [alienation disaster] task requires only 30 million progress of Sea Blue Star, while Han Xiao's task requirements include all other planets that have been dispatched alienation disaster, obviously the task of the Han mechanic is more complete.

This is a large main task that all players work together on, and each player's contribution counts towards the overall progress, requiring concerted efforts to achieve the goal of the task.

“We just went online and triggered the mainline mission? This version of the drama came fast! ”

“No foreplay, straight to Yellow Dragon, that's how I like it. ”

“… No, we were given the main line task directly because we went online at the Third Shelter, where we were able to get to the main line early, and the Star Poster analysis was correct. ”

Everyone remembered and suddenly.

That's true, if anywhere else, no one would have explained the situation carefully, and Bennett just said that the Third Shelter was the only place with inhibitors, which suggests that this is the key scenario for the 2.0 mainline, and it is the task left by the Black Ghost that led them here.

He's our light!

With the main task, the players were very energetic and asked what help they could do. Hundreds of thousands of people let the scene get into chaos for a time. Bennett finally stabilized order and let his hands do all kinds of work. These were tasks, the content varied, but the rewards were to increase the progress of the main task.

The limited manpower required for each task prompted a sudden robbery.

The Grand Duke captured the most tasks, some single-players did not capture the official tasks of the shelter and looked a little depressed.

One player couldn't help but ask: "Can we leave the shelter now? I want to go somewhere else. ”

Bennett looked helpless, "You'd better take a look at the walls yourself. ”

The steel wall of the shelter completely covered the view outside, rumours arose that many players were curious, and a group of players climbed up the wall and looked outside the shelter.

Just a glance, these players stuck around and shocked their faces.

Within a few dozen kilometres of the shelter, countless tents are densely lined up, like gray clouds covering a brown and red land, as if it were a huge open-air refugee camp, not knowing how many people stay outside the shelter and from time to time sound angry and fighting from somewhere, not knowing whether someone is sick or fighting for scarce water or food.

“We got word of inhibitors coming out, countless people coming here every day, trying to inject inhibitors and seek our refuge. ”

Bennett followed and looked at the endless refugee camp with a sad tone.

“But we have limited production of inhibitors, we can only inject a certain number of refugees every day, we can only make others wait outside camp, the more people are there, the more incidents happen, many people die outside every day, but I can't let everyone in, otherwise there will be riots inside... I can only watch them die. ”

The world was powerless to deal with the scourge of alienation, and there was only a third way to take refuge, and it became clear that the land was pure in the eyes of refugees, bearing the last hope, and that countless people were flourishing.

After the outbreak of the alienation disaster of previous generations, everyone became headless flies, panicked, devoid of destination and in a very chaotic situation, and now, as a result of the dramatic impact of Han Xiao, refugees across the planet have been targeted as the third refuge of the Black Ghost, regarded as the only savior.

However, the inhibitors produced by Ye Qing and Aurora can only work briefly and cannot permanently eradicate the virus. Bennett has no idea how to solve this catastrophe, and no one in the whole of Sea Blue Star knows. He had to wonder why Han Xiao had gone to the stars in the first place, and the Black Ghost was looking for a solution to the disaster. Does that mean that staying at Sea Blue Star would not solve the alienation disaster?

Bennett can only hope for Han Xiao... if he can really come back.

“There are no more shelters…” Bennett speaks heavily, "this is the only refuge. ”
