Chapter 220 Meat Grinder (I)

"I…bah bah bah bah bah."

As soon as Jie Fangcheng opened his mouth, he was blasted with sand in his mouth.

He was still spitting when the figure in front of him cursed again, then took off his mask and tried to put it on Jie Fangcheng's face.

Jie Fangcheng was very grateful for his generosity, but the mask was covered with a layer of gray dirt from the outside, and inside there was visible mud and water formed by sweat.

Jie Fangcheng was so frightened that he dodged the mask at the fastest speed in his life.

The person who gave him the mask never expected that even though he was selfless, the other party would avoid him like the plague.

So he put the mask back on and stared at Jie Fangcheng through the skylight of the mask.

"What's wrong with you kid?"

Jie Fangcheng closed his mouth and gestured twice, but the other party didn't understand what he meant at all, so he didn't care and grabbed him and led him forward.

The strong winds around were no longer winds. The huge wind force made it difficult for Dai Fengping, who was walking in the front and consciously taking on the task of breaking the wind, to move forward.

He was out on a mission, but just yesterday, they encountered a small hurricane and in the panic he got separated from his team.

Dai Fengping could only comfort himself that at least the gripper and wind vane were in the hands of other team members. There were five of them in total, and they could always bring the resources back to Cangcui Island.

The solar eclipse is about to come, and he and this team he just found have not yet entered the Green Island.

The closer we get to the solar eclipse, the stronger the wind will be... I'm afraid the two of them will die here.

Every step became like walking in a swamp. The raging sand around became a weapon, hitting the protective suit like tiny blades. The power could be felt through the protective suit.

He was still wearing protective clothing and it was like this. Could this kid he just picked up be dead?

Just when Dai Fengping was trying hard to turn his head to see if the person he was protecting behind him was still alive, his eyes darkened.

A thin-looking man wearing only a T-shirt and jeans stood in front of him and grabbed his wrist firmly with his backhand.

In the strong wind, Jie Fangcheng squinted his eyes, leaving only a slit through which he could barely see the road. He covered his mouth and nose with a piece of cloth torn from the hem of his T-shirt, looking like a masked hero.

Jie Fangcheng pointed to the direction ahead and silently asked Dai Fengping if this was the correct direction.

Dai Fengping didn't know what he wanted to do. He nodded blankly and saw the other party pulling him forward with a hand as if walking on flat ground. His feet were as stable as if they were equipped with grippers.

???

Dai Fengping didn't react in time and staggered a bit. The other party still had enough strength to support him, and waited until he stood firm before continuing to move forward.

? ? Who is this person?

Dai Fengping couldn't help but look down at his feet.

Without the grippers, it's just a pair of white sneakers that couldn't be more ordinary... If you want to say what's wrong with it, it's indeed not quite right.

So clean.

It has been one hundred and seventy-nine years since the end of the world.

Strong winds and yellow sand have become the most basic colors of the entire world. Everyone is covered in dust. Although there is no shortage of water resources and humans have complete experience in extracting drinking water from sea water, even the inner city of the Green Island protected by the "Angel's Eye" is gray and dusty.

Most people's clothes will soon be covered with a layer of dirt after washing, so the most common clothing colors now are stain-resistant tan and earthy gray.

But the outfit of the man in front of me, a white T-shirt, blue jeans, white sneakers... It can't be said to be weird. Some vain guys would dress like this, but no one would be willing to wear such clean clothes when going out on a mission.

Why did he come to the "wind farm" wearing such clothes? And where is his protective suit? ?

Walking in the wind field without protective clothing, the sand on the ground alone can kill people, and there are also mutant scorpions hiding nearby...

As expected, when Dai Fengping's mind was in a mess and he had no idea what was going on, the sand in front of him suddenly became concave, and a thick tail needle as big as a baby's arm stabbed straight at Jie Fangcheng, who was walking in front.

"Be careful of the scorpion...????"

Jie Fangcheng grabbed the tail sting and quickly pulled out the more than one-meter-long giant scorpion that was stuck in the sand.

The scorpion struggled and tried to bite him. Xie Fangcheng was afraid that the scorpion would run away, so he loosened its tail stinger and then scooped it up, grabbing the scorpion's body and shaking it wildly.

He had no strength at all. After shaking it a few times, the scorpion's internal organs were shaken and it passed out.

Jie Fangcheng pushed the scorpion's corpse in front of himself to block the wind mixed with yellow sand that was blowing in his face.

Dai Fengping heard him breathe a sigh of relief.

Dai Fengping: ...

With the huge scorpion behind him, Jie Fangcheng finally said a complete sentence: "This is the direction, right?"

"……right."

"oh oh."

Jie Fangcheng continued to walk in front in a simple manner, holding Dai Fengping's wrist with one hand.

The two were silent all the way.

Jie Fangcheng didn't want to talk. Even though there was a scorpion corpse, the wind was unreasonable and blew wildly in all directions. Jie Fangcheng felt that every time he opened his mouth, it was a test of his oral hygiene.

As for Dai Fengping, he felt his mind was empty.

Humans have evolved again? I've never heard of a second evolution.

He walked in silence all the way, but his pace was not slow.

Finally, Jie Fangcheng no longer needed to identify the direction, as he could see the towering city walls dozens of meters high in front of him.

When he saw Dai Fengping, Jie Fangcheng thought that this was a relatively backward little world. After all, there was nothing technological about Dai Fengping's clothes.

But when he saw the city wall, Xie Fangcheng realized he was wrong.

Ahead was a steel city, the outer walls of the city painted with some bright silver metal.

From a distance, you can see a number of robots at the city gate going back and forth repairing and transporting something.

On top of the tall city walls, soldiers wearing futuristic silver clothes, carrying exoskeleton backpacks and holding laser guns in their hands are patrolling back and forth.

And right above the entire city, a huge mechanical eyeball kept rotating.

Awesome! High tech!

besides--

That eyeball should be the "Angel Eyes", right?

Jie Fangcheng looked at the eyeball that looked huge from a distance and fell into deep thought.

This thing... How can he take it away? It's so many times bigger than him, right?

As Jie Fangcheng was thinking this, the two of them finally arrived at the bottom of the city wall.

After getting closer, Jie Fangcheng discovered that there was a layer of illusory membrane-like thing outside the city wall. It did not stop him, but the angel's eye floating in the sky seemed to turn and look at him.

Dai Fengping remained silent all the way until Jie Fangcheng also entered this membrane and then heaved a sigh of relief.

This is a protective membrane that only humans can pass through. It is used to isolate the wind and sand outside and the small mutant animals hiding in the sand.

Dai Fengping had been reading some science fiction novels in his mind all the way. For a moment, he even thought that the person who was pulling him might be some kind of animal from the desert.

Now that he had successfully passed the protective membrane and was confirmed to be a human being, Dai Fengping finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was in a complicated mood and had a complicated expression: "Hello, my name is Dai Fengping, thank you for saving me. You are..."

Xie Fangcheng said cheerfully: "Xie Fangcheng."

"Which team are you from? Why did you enter the wind field without wearing protective clothing? Where is your protective clothing?" Dai Fengping started to imagine again.

He had heard some gossip that some bad kids would deliberately bring people into the wind farm in order to retaliate against those who had conflicts with them, and then use various means to steal the other party's equipment and supplies.

In a wind farm, without protective clothing and grippers, you can only wait to die.

...Although Dai Fengping still hasn't figured out how this guy named Jie Fangcheng managed to walk on flat ground in the wind field, it is a fact that he was alone and did not have protective clothing or a gripper.

I didn't expect that this kind of bullying would happen in Verdant Island? Are these people really not afraid of the guards?

At this moment, Dai Fengping heard the person on the other side say: "Ah? I don't have any team."

After saying this, Jie Fangcheng asked, "By the way, where is this?"

"What?" Dai Fengping didn't react to what he was saying for a moment, "Where can this be? This is Cangcui Island!"

Where did this kid come from?

Dai Fengping frowned, and at this moment, the robots around him automatically came forward to clean the dust for the two of them.

In any case, this somewhat strange person in front of him saved his life. Dai Fengping opened his arms and let the robot clean the dust for him, while talking to Jie Fangcheng.

"Brother, thank you so much! Let's go have a meal together later. It's my treat."

Currently, all kinds of animal and plant resources are exhausted. The animals and plants that can be cultivated inside Cangcui Island are very precious and are research products that need to be protected.

Everyone lives on nutrient solution, and the meaning of "treating everyone to a dinner" is to taste various nutrient solutions with different flavors.

Jie Fangcheng also opened his arms like him: "Okay."

"What flavor do you like? Do you like the recently invented mapo tofu flavor?"

"Sure! I'm not picky about food..."

While the two were chatting, the robots around them suddenly sounded the alarm.

[Beep—beep—beep—Warning! Warning! Unidentified intrusion! Unidentified intrusion! ]

The next second, the robot, which was originally holding a hair dryer-like sweeper in its hand, instantly put away the sweeper, folded its mechanical arm, and turned it into a laser gun, aiming at Fang Cheng.

"Ah? Hey, what does this mean?"

Jie Fangcheng hadn't reacted yet, but Dai Fengping was already getting anxious.

The apocalypse has been going on for so many years, and perhaps at the beginning, when the environment just became a little harsh, humans were not able to unite as one.

The danger at that time came not only from nature, but also from within human society.

But now, when the death toll is increasing and the remaining humans are forced to live in the Verdant Island, they are forced to unite whether they like it or not.

For many years, the word "invasion" was more often preceded by words such as "giant scorpion" and "sea octopus". At least it was the first time that Dai Fengping heard the warning of "unidentified invasion".

At once, the surrounding robots and soldiers on the city walls all raised their guns and aimed at Fang Cheng.

"Ah..." Jie Fangcheng wanted to scratch his head at a loss, but as soon as he moved, a voice came from the city wall.

“Don’t move!!”

Although the tone was not very good, Jie Fangcheng could understand it very well!

They are all brothers in distress whose small world is about to collapse. If Jie Fangcheng sees an unidentified intruder in his own small world, his reaction will definitely be more violent than theirs.

So he patiently stopped moving.

Soon, the gate of Cangcui Island opened, and an officer in a white military uniform walked out and looked Jie Fangcheng up and down.

Jie Fangcheng's current image is really not very good. His T-shirt is a little short because he tore off a piece of it to use as a mask. His originally gray-blue jeans have now turned into earth blue, and his shoes are also gray. Jie Fangcheng can even feel the gravel inside his shoes.

His hair was even worse. His originally short black hair had turned a dusty gray. He was covered in dust and dirt, and he had not yet taken off the "mask" on his face. He looked even more miserable than Dai Fengping, who had been running around in the wind field for three or four days.

Dai Fengping stood up straight and saluted: "Report!"

"speak."

Dai Fengping quickly recounted how he met Jie Fangcheng in the wind field and how Jie Fangcheng brought him out single-handedly, emphasizing that he was not a bad person.

The main thing is that I offered him the mask but he didn't want it.

After listening to this, Xu Yi said nothing and just looked at Jie Fangcheng in front of him.

Ordinary members like Dai Fengping didn’t know, but senior officers like Xu Yi knew...some invaders had entered their world.

These invaders generally possess some very magical skills and props that cannot be explained by science.

But before, these invaders entered the Green Island secretly, sneaking in like thieves, and then wanted to forge their own identities, hoping to become one of the residents of Green Island without anyone noticing.

But these people don’t know that under the surveillance and protection of Angel’s Eyes, any abnormality occurring on the island will be detected.

Everyone pretended not to know and waited for the right time to quietly lock these people up.

This is the first one who comes in with such a grand momentum, and he doesn't hide it at all!

But he was so powerful that Xu Yi was unsure of how to treat him.

At this moment, Xu Yi's communicator lit up.

He opened the communicator, read the message, and looked up at Jie Fangcheng in surprise.

"Jie Fangcheng?" Xu Yi asked.

Jie Fangcheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

Xu Yi nodded and waved his hand: "Tie him up."

"Ah?" Jie Fangcheng hesitated.

They are all brothers in distress whose small world is about to collapse. From Jie Fangcheng's real heart, he personally does not want to take action against these people.

Although it is not clear what the situation is in this small world, it is clear that the humans in this small world are still struggling to maintain their world.

In this situation, Jie Fangcheng was very tolerant of their mentality.

But now that he's about to be tied up, it would be a shame if he didn't struggle a bit, right?

As Xie Fangcheng was thinking this, he heard Xu Yi add, "Everyone, be polite to others."

This contradictory order confused the soldiers following him. Four people walked up to Jie Fangcheng and surrounded him, and their determined faces kept looking at Xu Yi.

But this was the order Xu Yi received.

——Tie him up, be polite.

The four soldiers looked at each other, and finally someone took out the electronic handcuffs, then looked at Jie Fangcheng and asked politely, "Is it okay?"

Jie Fangcheng didn't know what to say in this mysterious scene, but he was the kind of person who would respect others as much as he could. Now that the other person was so polite, Jie Fangcheng looked at the handcuffs.

It’s not that he looks down on high technology, but this thing really won’t have any effect on him and can be easily broken into pieces.

So Xie Fangcheng simply stretched out his hands forward, but quickly retracted them.

"Wait a moment!"

Xu Yi was as if facing a great enemy, and asked vigilantly: "What's wrong?"

Jie Fangcheng pointed at the robots around him and said, "I'm so dirty, can you clean me too?"

“…”

.

After Jie Fangcheng finished the scan, he put on electronic handcuffs and was escorted into the city called Cangcui Island.

From the outside of the city, Cangcui Island seems to be a relatively majestic high-tech city, but after entering the city, Jie Fangcheng discovered that there are indeed high-tech places, but the sense of separation is very serious.

The streets are lined with low bungalows, with the occasional two-story building with gray exterior walls.

The streets are flat dirt roads, not even asphalt roads.

Many places look very backward. For example, people walking on the streets are wearing dark-colored clothes, which totally lacks the cool feeling of a high-tech city.

But there are hover cars parked in the air, and the majority of people in the entire city are not living people, but busy robots.

Xie Fangcheng even saw that some people's limbs were flexible machines.

It's really strange, it's both high-tech and not high-tech.

Jie Fangcheng was sighing with emotion when, at this moment, his ears moved.

——There is the sound of waves.

In fact, the name is "Cangcui Island", and Jie Fangcheng had already anticipated that there might be ocean around it.

But it was still different... because the sound of the waves was so loud, so loud that Jie Fangcheng frowned at that moment.

What's going on? It's louder than a tsunami...

Suddenly, a shrill ringing sounded throughout the city, followed by a broadcast from Angel's Eye that resounded throughout the city.

[Dear residents of the Green Island, a solar eclipse is about to occur! Please enter the safe area and wait! All district officers are requested to return to the command platform, and all detachments are required to respond to this solar eclipse as usual! ]

Almost as soon as the bell rang, residents of the entire city began to move in an orderly manner.

Residents dressed in various clothes and carrying their children moved towards safe points in various areas, while soldiers and officers from various detachments wearing the same protective clothing and masks as Dai Fengping rushed out of the city.

The hover car kept shuttling overhead, giving off a sense of the future at this moment.

Xu Yi looked at his communicator, and soon he raised his head.

"Take him to the Inner City Prison No. 1." After that, Xu Yi added, "Be polite."

This made Jie Fangcheng feel a little bit helpless.

Say they are polite, but these guys put electronic handcuffs on themselves and are about to send themselves to jail.

But if you say they are impolite, look at the officer in front of him who always adds "be polite" after issuing a task... Well, he personally nodded politely to Jie Fangcheng: "Thank you for your hard work."

Thanks for your hard work?

...Okay.

Four soldiers quickly stopped a hovercraft and took the initiative to open the door: "Please."

Xie Fangcheng: ...

He had never encountered such an embarrassing thing.

Go ahead and hit him, but don’t hit someone who smiles at you; don’t hit him, this is really the time when Jie Fangcheng has shown the most tolerance.

Who dared to tie him up before?

"Okay, okay, okay." Since it had come to this, Jie Fangcheng gave up resisting.

He accepted the invitation and got into the hovercraft.

The hovercraft floated quickly into the air and headed towards the inner city at an extremely fast speed.

It was also when he was floating in the air that Jie Fangcheng realized what the sound of the waves he heard was.

"What's going on?" Jie Fangcheng asked, pointing at the hurricane and water wall that had already taken shape not far away.

The soldiers in the car looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, someone explained, "It's going to be a solar eclipse soon. That's... a 'meat grinder'."

Green Island is not an isolated island, or rather, it is indeed isolated, so it is called an island.

Green Island is the last foothold on the continent where humans retreated step by step and finally had no choice but to hold on after having no way to retreat. It is also the only base for all the surviving humans.

It is surrounded by the sea on three sides and an endless desert on the other side... No, it was not actually a desert, but a continuous mountain range.

Humans finally chose this place as their final base, originally intending to use such high mountains to block the terrible [wind].

After the end of the world, the environment on land became extreme, animals and plants died in large numbers, and large areas of the originally lush forests died.

Just when humans were still heatedly discussing ecological environmental issues, a new test came one day.

At first, no one took the wind seriously. It was just a small tornado, a typhoon, a slightly chilly spring breeze that felt a little cold on the body.

When the ecological environment becomes extreme, there are more serious problems to be solved, and wind abnormalities are not within the scope of consideration.

It is impossible to determine exactly when the wind, which was originally only able to lift the roof at most, evolved into a hurricane that was like a meat grinder. Many existing humans have had the impression of wind like that since they were born.

There is no difference between spring wind and autumn wind. The wind is cold and violent, with great power. If you don't wear protective clothing and grippers, ordinary wind can cut and destroy people.

The hurricane swept across the land unhindered, blowing humans all the way to the vicinity of the Green Island.

In the beginning, the mountains blocked the way, and the humans who were being chased and had no power to fight back finally got a little breathing space.

But no one expected that such wind would blow away the entire high mountain range in a very short time. The original mountains turned into deserts. Wherever the hurricane went, it killed all living things within sight like a meat grinder, and blew all the way to the sea.

Just like now——

In the oceans on three sides of the Green Island, hurricanes blew up huge waves, and as time went on, the waves became higher and higher.

Countless mutated marine creatures were washed ashore, and the soldiers guarding around Cangcui Island rushed forward with guns and cannons to fight off this wave of marine creatures.

But soon, the next wave came again.

When the hurricane's winds reach their maximum, huge waves will cover the sky and the sun, submerging the entire green island, and not a single ray of light will be visible. That is a "solar eclipse."

At the same time, many tornado-like hurricanes will appear on the desert side.

This kind of wind will blow up the yellow sand, and those seemingly tiny gravel will be like blades in the strong wind. Even the hard scorpions will be broken into pieces once they are caught in it, and will be directly turned into new powder in the yellow sand. Therefore, these tornado-like hurricanes are also called meat grinders.

By the time of the solar eclipse, human power is no longer able to resist such power.

"Luckily we still have Angel Eyes."

At this point, a look of relief appeared on the soldier's face.

He looked up in reverence.

Jie Fangcheng also raised his head.

The Angel's Eye hangs in the air above the entire Green Island, "looking" at the Green Island like a real eyeball.

An invisible protective film emanated from its pupils, covering the entire green island.

"As long as the Angel's Eyes remain open, Verdant Island will not be destroyed."

After hearing these words, Jie Fangcheng fell silent.

The mission he received was to take away the "Angel's Eyes"... but this was the last hope for mankind in this small world.

Jie Fangcheng was a little bit unwilling to give up: "How are those hurricanes formed?"

Maybe there is some monster behind it?

If that were the case, Jie Fangcheng could easily kill the monster, and then Cangcui Island would no longer need the Angel's Eye.

But the soldier shook his head: "No. It's because of environmental changes. There is no tree left on the entire continent, so there is nothing to stop the wind."

Ultimately, that is the power of nature, not a specific monster or something that can be killed to change the situation.

Jie Fangcheng suddenly fell into worry.

Although there is no time limit in the hunting ground, players will be trapped in the hunting ground if they fail to complete the task. It sounds like if possible, players might as well retire in the small world.

But in reality it is not that simple.

The small world will instinctively reject foreign invaders. Players' strength will disappear little by little in the small world, and their memories and personalities will be worn away little by little as time goes by.

In the short term, it doesn't matter in the small world, as the player's own strength can withstand this kind of wear and tear. But over time, the player will either die as his strength decreases, or his memory will slowly disappear, and he will eventually be assimilated by the small world.

It is even more impossible for Jie Fangcheng to stay in this small world forever. He has to find out the truth of this game, the cause of death of Dongyue God, who is the murderer who killed Professor Zhang, how to save his small world... There are so many things to do.

But letting him just take the Angel's Eye and run away would be equivalent to sending this small world directly to destruction, which is definitely not something Jie Fangcheng could do.

He thought about it with a sad face all the way until he was taken to the prison.

Cell No. 1 in the inner city is where important prisoners are held, and it is now empty.

After arriving at the prison, Jie Fangcheng was politely let in, but the cell door was rudely locked in front of him.

The four soldiers also had a good impression of him.

After all, he was handcuffed and locked up, and he was very cooperative the whole time.

So before leaving, one of the four soldiers spoke to comfort him: "Don't worry, Commander Yan will not wrongly accuse anyone."

"Commander Yan?"

When this person was mentioned, the expressions of the four soldiers became full of respect.

"Yes. He is also the developer of Angel Eyes and the most powerful scientist in the world."

Jie Fangcheng was very supportive: "Wow, he's so amazing. I must meet him when I come back."

The soldiers looked at each other, and there was a sense of regret in their eyes.

“There’s a chance.”

The four of them all had their own jobs to do, so they sent Jie Fangcheng to jail and then left.

Jie Fangcheng stayed in prison for a while, feeling bored.

The surroundings were very quiet, but Jie Fangcheng had a strong sense of the environment.

He could vaguely hear the sound of the wind outside mixed with the sound of the waves, almost overhead.

"Meat grinder"?

Jie Fangcheng hesitated for a moment, then thought, he was not going to escape from prison, so he would just go out and take a look and come back soon.

So Jie Fangcheng reached out and pushed the door gently, and it opened.

But what he didn't expect was that this door also had an alarm system.

When Jie Fangcheng pushed the door open, an alarm sounded throughout the prison.

But because everyone was busy doing their own thing, and the prison was very secure with no jailer watching, Jie Fangcheng walked all the way under the shrill alarm without seeing anyone.

Then don’t blame him!

He walked out of the cell slowly, and as soon as he came out he felt the darkness.

It was clearly noon and a sunny day just now, but now it felt like dusk. The island was covered by black waves on three sides. Even in the inner city, one could see the waves blocking out the sun hitting the thin membrane that protected the Cangcui Island.

Every impact of the waves would bring some seafood, and soldiers in protective clothing would keep rushing up to fight these mutated animals.

If the waves on three sides are already scary enough, then the remaining one is even scarier.

Yellow sand.

It is hard to imagine how much yellow sand there is. It is like another wave, swept up by a tornado, constantly attacking the film covering the Angel's Eye.

The film looked precarious, but it never broke.

Soon, as the waves and huge amounts of yellow sand mixed in the wind, the solar eclipse arrived.

It was pitch black all around, the entire Green Island was shrouded in darkness, without a single light.

The sound of fighting also stopped - there was no need for the warriors to fight anymore, the "meat grinder" would take away all the mutated marine creatures that were sucked in.

There was only the sound of wind.

Woo-woo-woo-woo

It was like a ghost wailing, like the world was letting out its final wail.

The sound of the wind continued for more than ten minutes before the first ray of sunlight finally shone through the darkness.

The entire Green Island quickly began to carry out post-war cleanup in an orderly manner.

Poisonous marine creatures must be thrown back into the sea, and injured and dead comrades must be properly resettled. Although the film can isolate most of the waves and yellow sand, it is not completely flawless.

The city walls also need to be repaired, and some of the affected houses on Cangcui Island also need to be repaired.

Everyone should be prepared and wait for the next solar eclipse to come.

Jie Fangcheng looked around and saw ordinary residents coming out of the safe area one after another. These people did not show any relief on their faces after surviving the disaster. The main reason was that they had experienced this kind of scene so many times that they really could not feel relieved.

Jie Fangcheng stood in the sun, thought for a moment, and then turned around and went back to the prison.

This is indeed a little world that is about to collapse.

The area of ​​Cangcui Island is not very large, and the number of people it can accommodate does not exceed 100,000 at most.

These 100,000 people are the last intelligent creatures left in this world.

The hurricane outside destroyed all the plants and animals, and humans can only live in this small place.

This is a world without hope. Everyone relies on the Angel Eye to survive. No one knows when this thing will break down and then everyone will die together.

But outside the Angel's Eye, there is no place suitable for survival.

This was the first time that Jie Fangcheng really saw what it looked like when a small world was heading towards collapse.

There is something similar to "Heavenly Way" in every world. It may be called differently in different small worlds, but this is the foundation of the small world.

"Heaven's Way" has established rules, such as "plants can satisfy hunger", "animal meat can fill the stomach", "time is irreversible" and so on. Only when "Heaven's Way" exists can all kinds of creatures survive in the world.

Jie Fangcheng knew what it was like when the way of heaven was flawed, just like the Ru Kingdom back then.

The gods united to change the "rules of life and death" within the country of Ru. In order to reverse and fill the changed laws of nature, Jie Fangcheng paid the price of having his soul destroyed and his spirit scattered.

The "heavenly way" of this small world has been broken, and the Angel's Eye has tried hard to support a place where rules still exist... but it will not last long.

Jie Fangcheng couldn't help but sigh.

Is the collapse of the small world really irreversible?

While he was lying in prison with his chin on his hand, thinking about this and that, Xu Yi finally completed the work at hand.

After receiving the news, he quickly rushed to the prison.

As a result, when he arrived at the prison, he heard the alarm first, and then his eyes went dark.

That guy named Jie Fangcheng seemed to be very cooperative! What happened now? Has he already run away? ?

As Xu Yi thought about this, he almost had a premonition that he would see an empty cell.

After walking a few steps, I saw from afar a figure in cell No. 1, who looked like a thinker, with one hand clenched under his chin, pondering something.

Hearing the sound, the man raised his hand.

“Yo.”

Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and saw from the corner of his eye that the door lock that had been closed had broken.

There is only one person in this cell right now, and I know who did it without asking.

“…”

Is this big brother cooperating or not? !

Xu Yi complained in his heart.

Jie Fangcheng asked calmly, "What will you do to me now?"

Xu Yi looked at him: "Commander Yan wants to see you."

Chapter 221 Meat Grinder (Part 2)

It must be said that because of the four soldiers' admiration for Commander Yan, Jie Fangcheng was somewhat looking forward to it.

This Commander Yan is obviously highly respected in Cangcui Island. After all, the Angel's Eye that protects the entire island was developed by him.

Jie Fangcheng didn’t want anything else, his only wish was... if this person could, could he create another Angel’s Eye?

Although I think this wish is a bit outrageous, after all, if it can really be achieved, there wouldn't be only one Angel's Eye in the entire Green Island.

But if Jie Fangcheng wants to complete the task, he must have the Angel's Eye to leave the game. He can't snatch the Angel's Eye that someone else is using, so he can only think of other ways.

Jie Fangcheng is not good at this kind of thinking, and this is the only feasible solution he can think of at the moment.

Just try it anyway! If the other party can't do it, then we can talk about it later!

Xu Yi had no idea that the person behind him was currently thinking about this matter in a very arrogant manner.

He brought Jie Fangcheng out of the prison - it must be said that the electronic handcuffs were accidentally broken by Jie Fangcheng.

It was indeed not intentional. The main reason was that Jie Fangcheng was really not used to it. When had he ever been kidnapped on his own initiative?

Xu Yi could only pretend he didn't know and gave him another one.

However, Jie Fangcheng's performance made people feel alarmed.

Xu Yi didn't dare to imagine how powerful this new invader was. He could easily break the electronic handcuffs by accident, and he never showed any fear when facing the laser gun.

Is there anything on the Verdant Isle that can check and balance him?

If someone with this kind of strength were to cause destruction, wouldn't it really mean everyone would be killed without a burial place?

All the previous invaders had bad intentions, and some even wanted to kill people in the city. Jie Fangcheng was very cooperative, but his cooperation was like a nuclear weapon staying on the launch pad. Even though he seemed harmless on the surface, people who saw him would still feel terrified.

——But with Commander Yan, he will definitely be able to restrain this terrible invader, right?

Xu Yi could only place this hope on Commander Yan.

The two soon arrived right below the Angel's Eye, where a two-story building stood.

While other places on Cangcui Island were dusty, this small building was incredibly clean.

The exterior walls are silver, showing a condensed metallic luster under the sun. It feels like the same metal as the walls of Cangcui Island, giving it a very futuristic and technological feel.

When the two of them walked to the door, Xu Yi stopped automatically.

"Commander Yan only invited you, please."

Xie Fangcheng nodded.

A film very similar to the Angel's Eye acted as the door. When Jie Fangcheng entered through the film, he felt as if his entire body was scanned.

After entering the building, Jie Fangcheng looked at the surrounding environment and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Oh my God!"

Just looking at the exterior wall, this building already looks very high-tech, but the interior is even more high-tech.

There is not a single living person in the overall white building, only various robots coming and going... No, many of the robots do not have human form. They are all strange and each one seems to have its own specific function.

Jie Fangcheng's entry did not attract the attention of any robots. Only the sound of friction and collision made by the machines could be heard.

Just then, a mechanical car stopped in front of him, and an emotionless electronic sound came from the screen.

"Dear guest Jie Fangcheng, hello, please get in the car."

The mechanical car was very simple, with only one seat. The strange thing was that there was a bouquet of mechanical white roses on the seat.

After Jie Fangcheng picked up the rose, he sat in his seat and his seat belt was automatically fastened.

The vehicle moved forward smoothly.

Soon, the mechanical vehicle entered the transport elevator, and in the blink of an eye, Jie Fangcheng entered the second floor.

Compared to the first floor where robots were walking around busy, the second floor was very empty. There was only a white desk on the entire floor. In front of the desk, a figure in a white military uniform was sitting there.

"Hearing" the sound of the mechanical vehicle, "Commander Yan" raised his head.

Seeing Commander Yan's expression, Jie Fangcheng couldn't help but open his mouth, then closed it again.

Robot... No, that's not the case.

This "Captain Yan" looks like a very handsome man from a distance, but as soon as you get closer you will find that the skin on his face is a smooth, embedded bionic skin with a silver metallic luster at the joints, and his eyes are gray mechanical eyes.

When the wrists and knuckles move, silver spherical metal can be vaguely seen, and it is obvious that the bones in the body are also made of metal.

Behind him, there was a circular mechanical wheel suspended in the air, just like a human heart. With every rotation, something seemed to enter his body.

After looking at Jie Fangcheng, Commander Yan stood up.

"Hello, Jie Fangcheng. I'm Yan Xun."

The voice is more like a real person than the AI ​​electronic voice of the mechanical car just now, but you can still tell that this is the voice of an emotionless electronic AI.

Jie Fangcheng has dealt with people many times, but this is his first time dealing with robots.

"Ah... hello." He tried to speak more clearly, worried that the robot wouldn't understand him.

As a result, the other party actually appreciated his efforts as if they were a real person.

Yan Xun smiled and said, "I have a speech and semantic analysis system installed, so I can 'hear clearly'."

His smile makes people feel very comfortable, just like an ordinary human being, without any mechanical sense of stagnation.

If you ignore the obvious cold metallic light on his body, this man really looks like an ordinary human being.

But Xie Fangcheng knew very well that this was a robot.

What kind of attitude should be used when dealing with a robot that looks very much like a human? Xie Fangcheng was in a dilemma.

As if he knew what he was struggling with, Yan Xun spoke in a steady voice: "My system is very advanced, sir. From your expression, I can see that you come from a world with relatively backward technology. In your mind, the technology of 'robots' is very backward, and you are afraid that I can't understand you. But don't worry, I am far more powerful than any AI technology you have ever seen. You can think of me as another form of intelligent creature."

"It's not just this reason..."

The robot listened patiently, its beautiful grey mechanical eyes fixed on him.

Jie Fangcheng didn’t know how to explain it, but the other party did look different from the robot he had in mind.

He was indeed not following the programmed procedure, and even seeing Jie Fangcheng's conflicted expression, the other party made a very humane waving gesture, and a metal table drove over, with a teapot and a cup of brewed tea on it.

The tea in the cup was steaming. After thanking him, Jie Fangcheng picked up the cup, took a sip, and was stunned for a moment.

"This is the flavor of Longjing tea that I restored. According to my 'memory', drinking tea is very popular in the small world you are in." Yan Xun said.

"'Memory'?" Jie Fangcheng was stunned.

The robot nodded: "Perhaps you will be more familiar with my other identity."

After saying this, the bones on Yan Xun's face changed, and almost in an instant, another familiar face was formed.

When Xie Fangcheng saw this face, he stood up suddenly and looked at the robot in front of him in silence, unable to speak for a moment.

The "person" in front of me quickly constructed a pair of glasses with his hands as if reconstructing pixels and put them on his nose.

He smiled, and even the curve of his smile and the gentle look in his eyes were exactly the same as in Jie Fangcheng's memory, making Jie Fangcheng instantly feel as if he had returned to the infinite game of "Don't Answer".

"Zhang Daoan..."

The robot with Zhang Daoan's face even spoke in Professor Zhang's voice: "Yes."

But it was this familiar sound mixed with a slight electric current that suddenly brought Jie Fangcheng back to his senses.

He looked at Yan Xun in front of him and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"you……"

Yan Xun pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and even his movements were exactly the same as Professor Zhang's.

The robot did not need to think. He quickly answered Fang Cheng's question: "I am Yan Xun, and also Zhang Daoan, Zhang Siquan, and Luke. But I am not just these people... or rather, the thinking ability I have now comes from him."

"168 days ago, 'I' realized that the world was about to collapse."

It’s actually a very subtle feeling.

Yan Xun was very smart since he was a child, but this kind of intelligence was a set intelligence. He was a "good student" in the general sense when he was a child.

After the apocalypse, humanity went through a period of chaos.

It's mainly a fight for resources.

When the environment becomes extreme, plants and animals are the first to mutate.

They did not become as huge and powerful as they are today overnight, but the weak populations were eliminated by nature, and the species that survived were naturally able to adapt to the environment.

But humans have never evolved or mutated.

The reason is simple. When technology develops to a certain level, human dependence on nature will be greatly reduced.

Before the end of the world, there were basically no real animals or plants to be seen inside human cities.

The delicious, convenient and fast-acting nutritional supplements have replaced the food of most people. They are nutritionally balanced, inexpensive, healthy and affordable. Even if you want to feel full, there are synthetic meats and vegetables to choose from. The taste and texture can be customized according to your personal preference, which is much safer and more delicious than animals and plants in nature.

The lush green trees on the streets are artificial trees. They are evergreen all year round, with constant temperature control, and will not shed leaves or get sick. They can also replace harmful gases and release oxygen. Moreover, these artificial trees are also very profitable commercial products. Each artificial tree takes into account the acquisition of resources such as advertising and solar energy.

Simulated pets are even more popular. Companion pets can be customized with any personality, will not shed hair, are loyal to their owners, and can also become family doctors and provide first aid in emergencies.

The city at that time was a real steel city, with high-rise buildings, suspension trains, and everything else, but there was no life other than humans.

Because it is too convenient, many people have never seen real animals and plants since they were born.

Technology has put everyone in a protective bubble.

Therefore, at the beginning of the doomsday, no one actually cared.

Human beings have become the masters of nature. Technology can control the weather. If you want a sunny day, you can have a sunny day. Even if you want to see the sun at night, you can buy imitation suns online.

It is easier to create wind and rain if you want them. Not only are there four-season experience warehouses, but even when large-scale events are held in certain cities, you can have artificial snow and precisely control the landing location of each snowflake.

In order to better protect all human beings, animals and plants have specially divided areas to prevent these uncontrollable substances from harming humans themselves.

Some extremists have long ago called for the extinction of all animals and plants, because the genetic sequences of these animals and plants have long been recorded, and if any species is really needed, it can be synthesized in the laboratory. Why let these things take up space?

Human beings are already standing on top of nature and do not need "nature" at all.

In this case, it's just that a certain volcano has shown signs of activity, and a certain sea area has not been very peaceful recently... It doesn't matter, these are small problems, and solving them is as easy as creating a snow scene.

Until this endless wind blew down the tall buildings of this steel city.

Jie Fangcheng feels that this green island is very fragmented. Some places are very high-tech, while other places give people a feeling of backwardness. That is normal.

Because these high-tech products are basically the products before the doomsday. After the doomsday, mankind first went through nearly fifty years of civil war, then fled, and then established the Green Island. There are not many technological products left.

Moreover, these things are almost out of print, and there is no complete industrial chain that can enable humans to produce these high-tech products again.

In other words, these are all legacies, use them as you like.

For example, the reason why Dai Fengping and his team went through the wind field was to find some high-tech products that could still be found and bring them back.

But some things are useless to bring back, like a very high-end handheld laser cannon found before. The cannon body is still there, but the recharging energy is gone.

Given the current situation on Green Island, it is impossible to replicate this laser energy.

Although no one said it out loud, there was a faint voice in almost everyone's heart reminding them that they were just waiting to die.

Waiting for the remaining resources to be exhausted, waiting for everyone around to die, waiting for the day when the Angel's Eye will be unable to bear the burden and close.

Only Yan Xun - or rather, only Yan Xun after he "awakened" - refused to give up.

The originally smart "good student" and powerful "scientist" suddenly understood something one day.

——It was more like a soul had entered into the body of a person named “Yan Xun”.

But he came too late, and it is difficult to change the current situation by personal strength alone.

So he came up with an extreme solution.

"The Angel's Eyes have actually been closed for a long time."

At the beginning, the clever Yan Xun was indeed the developer of Angel's Eye, but the activation of this thing requires a lot of energy. If we only rely on the original "Angel's Eye", we will not be able to cope with the increasingly frequent solar eclipses.

The newcomer "Yan Xun" came up with a new idea.

"Humans have hundreds of billions of neurons, and each neuron is more sophisticated than AI and computers. So I decided to merge neurons with machines." Yan Xun, who looked like Zhang Daoan, said easily, "Every robot you see in this city is me."

The construction process of robots is more sophisticated than any weapon, mainly due to the chips, which are no longer something that post-apocalyptic humans can build.

And when "Yan Xun" transforms into millions of robots, he can do even more things.

Human beings are not a monolithic entity. Even now at the end of the world, there are still conflicts.

Robots can resolve most of these conflicts. Although their chips are neurons, they have set processing procedures to ensure absolute fairness.

At the same time, every neuron is connected through Yan Xun's terrifying thinking space, as if woven into a huge network, and information propagation becomes extremely fast.

Each robot has built a shared knowledge structure and performs rapid calculations.

Angel's Eyes are now made up of more than half of Yan Xun's neurons. When a solar eclipse comes, they can ensure that every molecule of energy is used in the most appropriate place. They also automatically perform deeper calculations every hour and every minute, constantly upgrading their own systems to cope with more terrifying and extreme environments.

It is not the Angel's Eyes but Yan Xun who protects the entire Green Island.

He is no longer a "human" in the broad sense. In order to ensure the stability and speed of the calculation results, rationality has been infinitely elevated, while sensibility has been eliminated.

But not long ago, a strange memory appeared out of nowhere in Yan Xun's database.

He conducted an analysis and drew a conclusion.

The robot looked at Jie Fangcheng in front of him seriously. He reconstructed the molecules in his hand and held a bionic white rose. "Thank you for coming into this world - my love."

Robots have no emotions, and Yan Xun’s behavior does not come from his “heart” but is the result of calculation.

Jie Fangcheng's strength was very strong in his "memory", so Yan Xun remained alert and tested him.

After testing, they found that he was indeed very powerful, so powerful that he was beyond the control of Cangcui Island.

We can't lock him up like we did with the previous invaders and wait to use him when needed, so we can only win him over.

Through data calculation, it was found that the two people's relationship mode was "couple". In "Luke's" memory, it was found that the other party seemed to be very fond of a species called "white rose".

The probability that you can make the other person let down their guard by playing the role of a perfect boyfriend is 97%.

The other party is extremely powerful and can be exploited after the relationship is improved. Based on the other party's previous behavior, the probability of being exploited is calculated to be as high as 99%.

After calculation, the latest instruction was obtained: play the role of the perfect boyfriend.

The robot changed its appearance and voice to the person it calculated the other party liked best, named "Zhang Daoan", and adjusted its own behavior patterns - he even used a "sweet talk" template to enhance the "feelings" between the two.

But the next second, Jie Fangcheng in front of the robot opened his eyes wide and his ears seemed to turn red.

"It seems that we are not in that relationship yet."

"..." The robot began to calculate frantically again, but based on the existing memory database and combined with the human behavior template analysis, the final calculation result was still the same.

Yan Xun frowned, showing a somewhat bewildered expression: "But we are a couple, right?"

"Cough..." Jie Fangcheng covered his mouth, scratched his head, and his eyes became vague.

He looked up at the sky and down at the ground, and groaned for a long while.

"You... seemed to like me before."

The robot was silent.

Jie Fangcheng glanced at him and said, "Anyway...it seems...that we are still..."

The robot calculated frantically, and countless neurons came to a new conclusion.

"I'm sorry, sir." He decided to be honest, because according to the memory data, the other party would prefer honest people. "My current situation is very special, and it is difficult for me to calculate human emotions. But my analysis tells me that we should be in a relationship. My database samples are not enough, so I made a wrong analysis. Please forgive me if I offend you."

The other party apologized so earnestly and politely with Zhang Daoan's face that Jie Fangcheng couldn't help but sit up straight.

He waved his hands uncomfortably: "It's okay, it's okay, you... you are also Professor Zhang anyway, we can just get along like before."

Yan Xun asked: "Excuse me, how should I treat you?"

"Ah? Then... good brother?" Jie Fangcheng was also a little uncertain.

Hearing him say this, Yan Xun shook his head: "I can't use the 'brother' mode to deal with you, because this conflicts with our previous mode of getting along, and goes against 'my' wishes."

Jie Fangcheng awkwardly picked up the cup and drank the water.

"So what do you suggest?"

Yan Xun quickly performed a second round of calculations: "Perhaps I can use the 'pursuer' mode?"

"puff!"

Jie Fangcheng spat out a mouthful of tea.

Yan Xun asked in confusion: "Is it not possible? But this is the closest mode to the way we get along."

Being asked this by a robot...

Jie Fangcheng raised his head and wanted to say something, but the robot opposite him had the face of Zhang Daoan.

"..." The robots around him had consciously come up to clean up the tea he spat out, and were even considerate enough to pour him a new cup. When he thought that these robots were actually Yan Xun's clones, Jie Fangcheng couldn't help scratching his head again.

He gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay..."

The next second, on the mechanical table in front of him, the molecules reorganized into a simulated rose bouquet.

"Yan Xun" said with a gentle expression: "Thank you for your permission."

…

Depend on!

This robot...

The other person was still holding Zhang Daoan's face, and his expression was so gentle, which made Jie Fangcheng feel that it would be bad if he didn't accept the flower.

He took it awkwardly: "Well...how about that, let's talk business?"

"Okay." Yan Xun responded quickly. After Jie Fangcheng finished speaking, he asked, "What is your mission?"

"Take the Angel Eyes."

As soon as Xie Fangcheng said this, an alarm sounded in Yan Xun's computing center.

Almost in an instant, the computing center analyzed a complete set of countermeasures.

It is known that this invader is quite powerful, so we cannot go to war with him.

The other party was now frank about his mission, and he had a high level of trust in his own side.

We can cooperate.

"Sure." Yan Xun nodded, "Angel's Eye is not difficult to copy. As long as I have enough materials, I can copy a second one."

Jie Fangcheng breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked, "Where is the material?"

Yan Xun generated a long list of materials in a flash, and even thoughtfully marked the possible locations.

"The Verdant Island doesn't have enough equipment, and the personnel aren't strong enough to meet the requirements. You may need to collect them yourself. But I will follow you."

"Ah? How are you going to follow?"

Yan Xun smiled perfectly again: "It is not difficult to create a new guide robot. If you have other requirements, such as the robot's appearance, voice, or even other functions - including private functions, you can specify them."

"Private function?" Jie Fangcheng pointed at the teacup in front of him, "Making tea?"

"It's not just about making tea, it also includes building a temporary residence, driving, entertainment, and personal matters..." After saying that, Yan Xun "thought" for a while and shook his head. "My calculations tell me that I can't mention any words about 'sex' to you, including sexual innuendos. That would be an offense to you."

“Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough…”

Xie Fangcheng was about to choke to death.

The straightforward robot didn't understand, but still walked up to him, stretched out his cold hand and patted him on the back.

Seeing that he seemed to be about to say something, Jie Fangcheng quickly made a pause gesture.

"You... have the memories of Zhang Daoan, Zhang Siquan, and Luke, right?"

"Yes."

Jie Fangcheng was silent for a moment, then patted his shoulder with a sad look on his face.

Xie Fangcheng was already feeling embarrassed for the next Professor Zhang: "Say less."

The robot nodded obediently: "Okay."

The Angel's Eye has been finalized, and now there is Professor Zhang... uh, I don't know if the robot in front of me can be considered Professor Zhang.

Although he has Professor Zhang's memories and appearance, his personality...

never mind.

Regardless of whether it could be considered as such or not, Jie Fangcheng couldn't just ignore it.

So Jie Fangcheng asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"If possible, I hope to bring back a sample of the reagent from the Central City Research Institute."

That was a "seed of recovery" created by scientists after the doomsday by combining forces from all over.

It contains "life force" and is said to be able to grow into a towering tree.

——In fact, calculation results show that many copies of this reagent are needed to build a biological protective wall to stop the hurricane.

The probability of stopping is no more than ten percent.

One reagent can only grow one "Tree of Life", but Yan Xun's calculations tell him that replicating the Angel's Eye and finding a reagent are equal in effort.

Green Island needs the other party's help. The robot cannot gamble on the one percent chance of being discovered that its side is taking advantage, so as not to offend the other party.

When Jie Fangcheng heard him say this, he nodded quickly: "Okay."

Not to mention copying the Angel's Eyes, even if it wasn't copied, if Yan Xun took the initiative to ask for help, Jie Fangcheng would agree.

Not to mention that the other party still had Professor Zhang's memories. Even if it had nothing to do with Professor Zhang, Jie Fangcheng really couldn't bear to see a small world collapse in front of him.

Jie Fangcheng asked: "Shall we set off now?"

Yan Xun shook his head: "I'm sorry, I need some time to prepare."

The windproof temporary shelter is built with special windproof metal, and basic weapons, driving instruments, etc. all require time to assemble.

No matter how fast the robot is, it cannot complete the task in the blink of an eye.

However, when talking to Jie Fangcheng, most of the robots in the city had already started to move.

Jie Fangcheng expressed his understanding: "Oh. Then call me when you are ready."

"OK."

After the other party responded, he stopped talking. The round wheels behind him were turning, and a pair of mechanical eyes kept flashing, probably working non-stop.

The news that Professor Zhang turned into a robot was too shocking. Jie Fangcheng had been thinking about it since he came in, and almost forgot why he came in in the first place.

After he calmed down, Jie Fangcheng finally remembered -

"Oh, by the way, I have a friend named 'Zhan Xiaoming'. Is he here with you?"

There is the Angel's Eye on Cangcui Island, and there are so many robots monitoring it. I'm afraid that Zhan Xiaoming's limited strength will be exposed when he arrives.

Jie Fangcheng reasonably suspected that Zhan Xiaoming was now in jail.

Sure enough, Yan Xun nodded.

"He's in jail, do you need to go see him?"

"Okay." Jie Fangcheng stood up, and soon, the mechanical vehicle he came in stopped in front of him.

After Xie Fangcheng got into the car, Yan Xun stood up to see him off, which seemed very humane.

"Bon voyage," the robot said.

Jie Fangcheng smiled and said, "See you later."

When the mechanical car sent Jie Fangcheng to the door, a bouquet of bright red roses "appeared" from the car before it left.

The rose was held in front of Jie Fangcheng, who exclaimed "ah" and was a little hesitant.

As if knowing what he was thinking, the voice of "Zhang Daoan" came from the rose.

"This is a communicator for communication."

Jie Fangcheng muttered, "Why is the communicator designed like this?"

Unexpectedly, Rose heard it, so she answered him in a calm voice: "Because I am your pursuer."

“…”

Jie Fangcheng picked up Rose and stopped talking.

The bionic rose has a metallic texture when you hold it, but it is not heavy and even emits a faint rose scent.

Jie Fangcheng had mixed feelings, but he soon discovered the benefits of having this rose.

"Take the next right and you'll see cell block 2 in front of you."

The rose can not only show him the way, but also automatically help him open the dungeon door lock, and considerately notify the nearby guards in advance not to stop him.

So Xie Fangcheng had a smooth journey and soon found Zhan Xiaoming who was in prison.

Zhan Xiaoming is also miserable.

At that time, Jie Fangcheng couldn't find the way and wanted to go to the teleportation point to enter the second-level dungeon. Zhan Xiaoming was afraid that his brother Jie would get lost again, so he personally sent him there.

As a result, he said goodbye to Jie Fangcheng reluctantly, thinking in his heart, "Brother Jie should have no problem in the second-level copy with his strength." But the next second, a white light enveloped him.

When he opened his eyes again, he was standing in front of a house, confused.

Zhan Xiaoming was lucky, as he was caught in a D-level hunting ground;

He was just unlucky, because when he was put in jail and met other players, he realized that he was the only player who was in the city at the beginning.

Among the others, Zhou Yian was the most unlucky. He came in during a solar eclipse, and the wind from the meat grinder blew him directly into the sky.

The black magician lost half his life in an instant. If he didn't have the props and skills on him, especially the 100% clearance rate of the last level one book which gave him a D-level protective shield, allowing him to barely survive this fatal solar eclipse, Zhou Yian would have died on the spot.

He still doesn't look like a human being. His body is covered with deep scars caused by the wind. He squats in a corner and ignores everyone.

This hunting ground is horrible.

In addition to Zhan Xiaoming and Zhou Yian, there were four other players, all of whom were D-level hunters. One of them had even cleared the D-level hunting ground five times, and thought he would upgrade after clearing it once more, but they were all caught and put in jail.

"That Yan Xun is really not a human being!"

The longest time that the players have been locked up in the prison has been half a month. There is no one to take care of them in this prison. Giving them a bottle of nutrient solution every day is enough to sustain their lives.

Jie Fangcheng didn't think that the cell and the electronic handcuffs were difficult to break free from, but in fact, for a normal player, not to mention the cell door that could withstand a full-strength attack from a D-level hunter, the electronic handcuffs were very scary.

Normally, the players can move around in any way and the electronic handcuffs will not react. However, as long as they show the slightest intention of escaping prison, the electronic handcuffs will emit a laser targeting the human internal organs.

The laser will burn the internal organs directly like fire, and any player who is burned twice will give up resistance.

As for why they were captured and why they weren't just killed... Obviously, Yan Xun wanted to keep them to do more things.

There is nothing else for everyone to do in this prison. Everyone has an independent cell, and only sound can be transmitted. We cannot see each other, so we can only chat.

This resulted in Zhan Xiaoming having no idea that, in addition to him, Zhou Yian was also there.

So Zhan Xiaoming had no idea how he got into this hunting ground.

Xiao Ming was very anxious, but he didn't know what to do.

He opened his system interface every day, trying to find the "Report BUG" button on it, but three days passed and nothing happened. He did find out that other players had the same task as him.

"It looks like it's a 'group mission'."

As the name suggests, the collective mission of the hunting ground is the same for everyone. As long as one player completes it, the other players will also complete it.

But this kind of mission is also very difficult... How could it not be difficult!?

When we first came in, everyone thought it was "Angel's Eyes". The thing we were looking for in this mission was "eyes", which were not small.

The result was huge. Not only was it huge, it was also suspended in the air, with no leverage points around it. Without flying skills, one couldn't even reach the edge of the Angel's Eye. And not only was it suspended in the air, but it could be seen by everyone on the island.

Want to steal? Before you get close, the laser cannon will shoot through you.

What kind of mission is this?

Of course, there were also geniuses who proposed the idea: "It seems that this mission requires us to massacre the city."

The genius who came up with this idea not only thought about it, but also did it.

So when he tried to secretly attack the residents for the first time, the seemingly harmless robots that were everywhere ended his life with laser guns before he could do anything.

Unable to fight or sneak, the players are all waiting to die.

Under such circumstances, Zhan Xiaoming became more anxious as expected.

Just when he felt like he was going crazy, his eyes blurred.

A familiar face appeared in front of him.

"Yo!" Jie Fangcheng greeted.

Zhan Xiaoming's gaze moved from Jie Fangcheng's face to the bright red rose in his arms.

Hallucination? Has he finally gone crazy?

Not only did he see Jie Ge...Jie Ge also came to pick him up with a rose? ?

Not only that, in the hallucination, Brother Jie lowered his head and spoke to Rose: "That's him, let him out."

The next second, the cell door in front of Zhan Xiaoming opened, and even the electronic handcuffs on his wrists fell off automatically, forming a small robot after falling to the ground, and flew away very consciously.

“…”

Jie Fangcheng had seen it once and didn't think anything of it.

But Zhan Xiaoming, after feeling like he was crazy, could still see such a scene... Zhan Xiaoming applauded his imagination.

Jie Fangcheng called him twice but got no response.

"What's wrong with this kid?"

Rose responded to every request and answered every question. After scanning Zhan Xiaoming, she said, "I'm stunned."

Not only that, according to the memory bank, the voice was specially changed to Zhang Siquan's voice.

Jie Fangcheng inexplicably felt that this robot seemed to have a bit of a bad taste.

Zhan Xiaoming looked up blankly: "I am really crazy... I also heard Brother Zhang's voice..."

Jie Fangcheng laughed and patted his shoulder: "Your uncle asked me to save you."

“…”

"What? You still don't believe it?" Jie Fangcheng was experienced in this area. He patted Zhan Xiaoming with a little force.

The pain brought Zhan Xiaoming back to his senses: "...Brother Jie?"

"Um."

“…”

“…Hey, hey, hey, don’t cry!” Jie Fangcheng was shocked.

“Wuwuwuwu, Brother Jie!” Zhan Xiaoming burst into tears, his eyes blurred with tears, “Did you come in just to save me?”

"Yes before." Jie Fangcheng smiled, "But now I have a second reason to come in."
