Chapter 237: Zootopia (End)

"Crazy, all crazy..."

"Do you know how many players will disappear as a result of this? This river will swallow everything. There are so many copies, so many soul assets that have already been formed. Do you want to be a sinner in this world?! You clearly saved them in the first place—"

Having said this, the golden dragon's originally angry expression suddenly stopped.

Qiao Song watched with interest the colorful expression on Chen Long's face after the River of Life and Death erupted: "Huh? Why don't you continue talking about what I did to save them?"

No, Qiao Song can’t be allowed to remember it.

However, Chen Long suddenly swung his tail, turned around and ran away.

The players from the Black Iron Guild behind him were also crazy and actually took the initiative to block the way in front of them at this time, but there were also a few smart ones who quietly retreated to the back of the crowd, ready to run away at any time.

Qiao Song glanced at the players who were still selflessly staying behind to cover the retreat, and found that they all had a fingernail-sized, golden dragon scale hidden on their chins.

"This old thing's ability is a bit like a snake." It can control and infect players in other areas.

But its ability is much weirder than that of the snake, and it looks like a skill like domination.

Qiao Song did not directly confront these players from the Black Iron Guild. She knocked on the floating shrine behind her, as if she was communicating with the things inside through the box.

"Have they all been moved? Is there anyone who can come and help?"

After listening for a while, she reached out and grabbed a wooden box from the stone shrine.

【Artificial version of the shrine】

[Mascot transfer application in progress...]

After a ding sound, several players with different expressions appeared here, half of them were old acquaintances of Qiao Song.

"Then I'll leave them to you. I'll go chase that old guy. You guys keep an eye on the time."

The ones Qiao Song called out were all players with flying abilities.

Some of them were riding on public transportation, such as the magic carpet that Qiao Song was sitting on now, which was contributed by one of them.

Some of them used flying props, and the most common ones were fairy tale style.

In addition to the elf butterfly girl and the winged players in the shape of birds, there was even a wizard riding a broom, craning his neck to look at Qiao Song.

The elf holding a fairy wand looked at him in confusion: "Yushan, what are you looking at? Help me quickly."

Some of them were not familiar with Qiao Song, but after the Zodiac occupied the area, signing new soul contracts with local players was as easy as breathing.

The commands issued by Qiao Song can even be heard directly in her ears through system prompts, and no player will disobey her requirements.

Moreover, Chen Long had no idea that Qiao Song had made a plan to escape by releasing the floodwater at all costs.

Only Qiao Song’s own family members knew.

Those who were sent in by Chenlong to fish in troubled waters were just like the players of Sishe. Once the area was occupied, they would automatically sign the contract. There was no distinction between undercover and non-undercover. The boss of the company before and after the job change was the same.

The wizard named Yushan looked at Qiao Song's back and couldn't help muttering: "The new brain is really useful. I didn't expect it to be able to do this..."

The mountain cat had been planning to take advantage of the situation and find a chance to make old man Chen Long unhappy, and by the way, come to Zootopia to find out the truth about the River of Life and Death. But who knew that Qiao Song had to do all the work alone.

Well, no one knows how many people are still alive in the committee, so he should just stay hidden and try to get a chance to escape safely first.

The summoned employees have already begun to deal with the tail seriously.

Qiao Song glanced at the time on the communicator. She had to continue chasing that old man Chen Long. She would not be able to sleep or eat unless she broke his neck completely.

Chen Long also knew that the players behind him would certainly not be able to stop Qiao Song.

He just needed a little time to locate the safe houses.

The round scales on the body covered with golden dragon scales began to vibrate together, and soon turned outward, stood up, and began to change color. The densely packed dragon scales gradually became disgusting, like wriggling tumors.

The granulation tissue cracked open and eventually turned into an eye.

"There are 68 safe houses in that primeval forest game area..."

Almost all of the eyes he had buried in advance had been eliminated. Most of them were submerged by the water of the River of Life and Death, and a small number were found and destroyed by players with special abilities.

Chen Long didn't even understand when Qiao Song discovered the surveillance problem.

Moreover, Tiger, Ox and Rooster, these guys definitely knew about it! Most of the players who took action were from their area!

No wonder, no wonder he was a little confused when he was monitoring her before. The woman Yinhu had obviously reached an alliance with Qiao Song, but he actually set up a game area to embarrass her. The attitudes of Chou Niu and You Ji were also ambiguous.

They didn't mean to test Qiao Song at all. The talk about the whetstone during the three-person gathering and the statement that they would only hand over the rule card if Qiao Song occupied the area himself were all lies!

Who was he telling this to? Was he being monitored by the camera?

A special gaming area was set up to conceal the truth - Chen Long realized belatedly that this was done just for a dish of vinegar, so he made dumplings on purpose.

"Your purpose from the beginning was to build those safe houses!!!"

He understood. No wonder the childish forest rules repeatedly emphasized that one would be safe as long as they stayed in the cabin.

As long as you don't go out and provoke the lords of other areas, there will be no risk.

Use benefits to lure out restless players, let the law-abiding people hide in the dark and observe, and slowly check and monitor.

Okay, okay, you are all so calculating!

With the roar of the dragon, his body continued to grow larger, like a giant beast undergoing a calamity in a thundercloud.

There were huge waves below him, but he didn't dare to touch even a drop of water.

Chen Long has already started talking to himself: "Qiao Song, you can't possibly do things to the extreme, you must have prepared a means of transportation for those people... a boat, you prepared a safe house for them, and the safe house is the boat!"

The golden dragon locked onto the position from high in the sky and rushed directly into the gradually flooded Zootopia. At this time, the rising water level was gradually covering the tops of the houses.

The flesh on Chen Long's body, which had already cracked, fell off in large quantities and turned into round eyes, which were scattered in various locations of the 68 safe houses.

He wants a cabin too!

The water of the river of life and death cannot be spared from harm by anything with a soul, and the same goes for him. The small boat handed over to the Newcomer Alliance is indeed a way out, but it is not his way out!

If he wants to survive, he must get a safe house built by Qiao Song and those zodiac signs!

Sitting on the magic carpet, Qiao Song watched the old thing transform all its golden scales into eyes, and his own body looked bald, like an earthworm.

"Your eyes are really ugly."

She snapped her fingers, and a pair of round eyeballs popped out from the shrine behind her.

That was the key item that Chen Long had given to Boss Cai earlier to entice him to cause trouble for Qiao Song.

The eyes of the Wei Sheep are a very magical thing. Qiao Song heard from Aunt Huo that this thing is just like the skill derivatives bred from the Wei Sheep's ability. As long as one disappears, she will more or less feel it.

The higher the level, the more comprehensive the functions of the eyes.

Those things that Chen Long is now throwing out in desperation are purely low-level eyeballs used to find things.

What Qiao Song holds in his hand is said to be an item left behind by a previous Wei Yang.

It is no longer usable. Its hypnotic ability has been fully used on that fool Boss Cai. What Qiao Song wants is its passive notification ability after it is destroyed.

Crunch.

His two eyeballs had just been crushed. In the dark space, Huo Siran, whose head had turned into a sheep, instantly received Qiao Song’s signal.

She just looked up, and in her square pupils, another figure in the dark space was reflected.

That was herself, the human body belonging to Huo Siran.

All the kittens were now out, circling around the human's body, and a few of them hesitated and wanted to run towards her, but were blocked by several pupil lines drawn on the ground.

Wei Yang's voice suddenly became gentle:

"Okay, Mommy has to go out and do something. Can you guys just take my body to the safe house?"

Among them, the largest lion cats and Maine Coons straightened their backs, flicked their ears and tails, and the kittens around them immediately stood up.

You must be serious when helping your mother!

The kitten meowed in a meeting, but seemed a little worried and looked at Wei Yang reluctantly.

Wei Yang nodded, and the cats carried the sleeping Aunt Huo's body and jumped lightly, leaving the dark space.

As for Huo Siran, her consciousness and her Wei Yang body gradually became transparent, gradually revealing the three black cards floating in her body.

"It's time for us old guys to go out and help."

As soon as she finished speaking, her entire body collapsed like a bubble, and several rule cards disappeared along with her.

Chen Long discovered that all the eyeballs he had released had lost contact.

Those that he originally placed in Zootopia could be understood to have been corroded by the River of Life and Death, but the eyes that he had just released to find a safe house were actually disappearing one after another.

He hardened his heart and cut off a few pieces of flesh from the place where the scales had fallen off. This time the eyeball was indeed much larger than before, but not long after it flew out, it lost the signal just like before.

Chen Long's pupils shrank slightly, apparently in some broken images, he had captured another power that originated from the same source as him.

"Wei Yang... Is this the reason why you have been hiding until now..."

If Qiao Song had not acted too suddenly and the Wei sheep was not so difficult to catch, Chen Long really did not want to keep this stinky sheep until the end.

Only he himself knows how difficult it has been for him to rule Zootopia over the years.

The rebellious snake, the ambitious tiger, the sheep that always keeps an eye on him, and the mouse that he can do nothing about...

"You are all crazy. Qiao Song can build a group of safe houses, but can he save everyone? From now on, this world will be filled with water from the River of Life and Death. Have you ever driven a boat to a dungeon?!!!"

Along with the dragon roars and thunders, torrential rain that covered the sky and the sun began to fall, but this rain seemed to have nothing to do with the river water. Qiao Song frowned on the magic carpet and subconsciously took out an oil-paper umbrella to cover his head.

In the distance, the mad Chen Long cursed and actually laughed: "No, there will be no more copies in the future, but you can't go back, never go back. What did Qiao Song promise you, to return to the real world?"

Several figures emerged around, but there were only a few zodiac signs left who had not handed in their rule cards.

Chen Long knew that they were coming together to kill him.

But he is no longer afraid.

Malicious and joyful laughter filled the entire sky:

"I know better than you how the ship sank! If Qiao Song wanted to send you back, she would have gone back long ago. The ship sank because of her, but she pretended to save you, and then gave you some tools and authority to let you build a new world from scratch, and then serve her like a dog! Are you going to cut off all your escape routes and leave your fate to her?"

Yin Hu's expression was not very good, and his tone was very aggressive: "If I remember correctly, all the copy controllers of the Twelve Committee were originally placed in the stone shrine by the river. Or were you survivors who came ashore early, scrambling to get them, right?"

Chen Long's expression darkened: "Who do you think you are? You have never been on that ship. What qualifications do you have to deny what we did at that time? If it weren't for her..."

Yin Hu raised his hand again to interrupt him: "You received favors from others and took advantage of them, but you can still bite them back. You are really old and shameless. You have no shame at all."

"I think you have ruled a city for too long and have forgotten why you set out in the first place. You don't want to go home, but I do."

A muscular figure appeared not far away. He was older than Chen Long, with two big sharp horns on his head. He blew hot air out of his nose and glanced at Yin Hu first:

"You're just wasting time."

Chen Long paused, and he finally realized that he had been completely surrounded without realizing it.

There is even a rooster holding a wine glass above the head.

She was a burping woman, with her long seaweed-like hair loose and a few feathers of the same color as the ends of her eyes hanging on it.

She raised her cup from a distance and greeted Qiao Song on the magic carpet: "Hi, long time no see."

This was the drunkard lady who lent the wine bottle prop to Qiao Song in the Tongue-Pulling Hotel on the top floor of the Hell Community.

Qiao Song had a complicated expression: "Miss Drunkard, so who is the bartender at the Youji Tavern?"

Qiao Song was talking about the big red rooster bartender in the tavern where she was doing a mission when she first entered the Rooster Realm.

She had originally guessed that the guy was the Rooster's true form.

The drunkard lady blinked her eyes and said, "That's my apprentice. The drinks he mixes are only slightly inferior to mine."

Now is obviously not the time to chat.

When Chen Long saw them greeting him in a familiar manner, he was so angry that the tip of his tail was shaking.

Compared to the others who seemed well prepared, his scales fell off his body, and there were several big holes on his body that he had dug himself. He couldn't find a safe house, and the players under his command were also controlled.

It's so embarrassing.

Even though he was doomed to fail, he calmed down instead.

"How ridiculous! I built this Zootopia myself. I contributed so many shrine fragments to the Infinite Highway, sent out one dungeon blueprint after another, and sent out so many NPCs myself. So many people got a chance to revive because of it. Didn't I do enough or not well enough? You would rather be drowned than stay here, hahahaha."

"You're all crazy, dreaming of going home."

"No, I won't let you have an easy life. No one can have an easy life. Hahahaha, no one can go back!!!"

The ugly Chenlong, which looked like an earthworm, swelled up like a piece of inflated meat.

The drunkard lady was most sensitive to smells and she keenly noticed that something was wrong with the rain around her.

"This old guy wants to go all out and explode, polluting the water in the clouds."

At the same time, a hot sun suddenly rose above the Zootopia, where there were strong winds, thunder and lightning.

[Rooster: Keep watch at night without missing a beat, and announce the dawn as a sign of faith]

At the same time, purifying power and orange-gold sunlight poured down, rapidly dispersing the rain that was beginning to turn black around it.

The tiger arched its back, exerted force on its abdomen, opened its mouth and roared suddenly.

The tiger's roar drowned out the sound of thunder and lightning above. Several people present felt their bodies warm up, their strength recovered quickly, and the effectiveness of the skills they used was also improved.

[Tiger·Power of Beasts·Enhancement of all your skills in all aspects]

Old Man Chouniu and Qiao Song just stood there without moving.

The former stared at the tumbling dragon, and suddenly his eyes changed: "He is not going to self-destruct, he wants to destroy the rule card!"

Qiao Song had already rushed out when Old Man Chou Niu was talking. Chen Long rushed directly into the roiling river of life and death as if he didn't care about his life: "Since I can't get it, none of you can get it!"

The River of Life and Death can melt everything, including him and the cards in his body.

He must destroy what Qiao Song wants!

The ugly ball of flesh was stretched tense, but before it completely rushed into the vortex, something invisible seemed to pass by, and he was successfully caught by a pair of claws and briefly delayed for a few seconds.

"Princess, hurry up, he's so hot, I can't hold him!!!"

A little black dragon, which always appears as a villain in Western fairy tales, touched here at some point, with pearl-like comma tears hanging on its face. Obviously, the words "it hurts so much and it burns" were not a joke.

Qiao Song quickly praised the little black dragon in his mind, and then took advantage of the falling speed from jumping off the magic carpet to pull out a sword.

A bright white light flashed, and it was the gift she had prepared for a long time.

[The dragon-slaying sword of the fairy tale kingdom has miraculous effects on all dragon creatures]

"Look at yourself now, do you still look like a dragon? An earthworm wearing a dragon robe is really a disgrace to Chinese mythology—"

The River of Life and Death below began to ripple, and a stream of water directly entangled her sword blade. Qiao Song had wanted to give Chen Long a sword before, and now he finally got his wish.

The sword lights were black and white, and the winding river water was the swan song of the dragon creatures.

These few seconds seemed to be particularly long.

Chen Long saw the black thing above his head. It was a low-level NPC that he had never even glanced at before.

He also saw Qiao Song cut open his stomach and took out three black cards with golden patterns.

That was the core item of the copy that had been with him since he came ashore many years ago.

He once dreamed of making the leap from a carp to a dragon, but he never knew that he would always remain a worm in the dirty mud - how ridiculous - how ridiculous!!!

Qiao Song's sword cut him into many pieces.

The sword is fast, but it cracks slowly.

Chen Long's severed body twisted, and at the moment it fell into the water it was still like a balloon, stirring everything in the water.

His eyes were unwillingly looking up at the sky, and he plunged into the water.

Qiao Song was very sure that she had just cut off the other party's head, four legs, and even the tail.

It really is an earthworm. How can it still twist after falling into the water?

The small ball was floating in the air. It was no longer the ball controlled by Chen Long, but Wei Yang.

"Chen Long's ability is domination. I saw the buildings under the water begin to move. Let's move the remaining players first. Chen Long probably doesn't want you to find the boat he left behind."

A few players were left in Chenlong's hall and sneaked away with a boat. It was Aunt Huo who asked Crow to tell Qiao Song the news.

The eyeballs are used for monitoring and hypnosis. This ability originally belongs to Sheep. It doesn't make sense that the other party has spies all over Zootopia while Sheep does nothing.

Qiao Song returned to the magic carpet, feeling somewhat puzzled:

"He's still helping me even after he's dead. Is that You Yitong his biological son? Or is Miao Tingting his biological daughter?"

From the information brought back by Wei Yang, Qiao Song knew that the ship left by Chen Long was for the new alliance players.

But I didn’t expect that the president was not the Newcomer Alliance, but You Yitong and Miao Tingting.

This old guy doesn't seem like a selfless person.

There are more and more whirlpools in the water, and the earthworm-like remains of Chen Long can be seen sweeping across most of the area under the water.

It's true that even death can still shine.

Qiao Song watched for a full minute, and only left after he was sure that the guy's soul had completely melted in the water.

On the magic carpet, the little black dragon, which had turned into the size of a dog, was curling up and bandaging its wounds.

My claws are almost melted from trying to catch that old dragon just now!

Qiao Song touched his head, and the little black dragon felt much better and spit out a few rule cards.

"Princess Qiao Qiao, this is what you asked me to keep before. I should be able to give it to you now."

Chen Long had previously instigated Boss Cai to come and steal Qiao Song's rule card. If he hadn't really been unable to find it, he might have done it himself.

[In every fairy tale, there is a sleeping dragon, guarding the treasure hiding in the cave]

The little black dragon was guarding the rule card given to him by the princess. No one could find him until he woke up. Not long after Qiao Song entered the Zootopia, the little guy fell asleep. Qiao Song almost forgot that he was in his shrine.

That’s a great help.

"Be good, go back to the shrine and recover first. I will reward you well then."

The little black dragon let out a howl, and then it went back into the shrine, wagging its tail like a comma. The remaining people in the sky looked at each other, some of them were empty-bellied, and even the floating shadows of the pair of eyeballs slowly turned into a few cards that fell down.

Yin Hu exhaled: "Although the scene is much bigger than I expected, this time, it is already the best result."

She looked at Qiao Song steadily and said, "We have waited for this day for many years. The rest is up to you."

Countless black cards were mixed together and entered Qiao Song's hands. There was silence for a second, and then Qiao Song heard countless system prompts.

[Ding——Congratulations on obtaining new domain permissions...]

[Ding—Congratulations on obtaining a new backup area of ​​Mirror Zootopia...]

Including what was just taken out of the dragon's stomach, apart from these, the only area left in the entire animal city is the territory of the Rat.

That was a place that Chen Long had never touched because he couldn't do it.

Anyway, the rats never resisted and would surrender voluntarily to protect the host, so Chenlong never really entered that area.

Before the war, the area was isolated by Li Yuan's portal and there was no signal at all.

The Cyber ​​City of Rat.

This place is different from other areas in Zootopia. It is not fixed but moves at any time. It can even be said that it does not exist in reality.

Apart from Li Yuan, who has no moral principles and opens the door at any time, only the players invited by the little mouse Annie can enter Cyber ​​City and work for her.

"Wow, this is such a grand scene." Annie had already watched the live broadcast remotely on the screen. Of course, her hands hadn't been there for a moment. In fact, she was so tired that her head was about to cramp.

Not only her, looking down from this high-tech control room, the entire octagonal cage-shaped world of rats is like a computer room library made of a bunch of stacked wires, with the walls being hollow walls.

Looking down, these areas are connected to countless mainframes and countless computer rooms that look like hamster cages.

There are players working hard there, just like the programmers working overtime in the Wu Ma area, but the Rat side uses a shift system, while the Wu Ma side is an online cowherd that switches shifts with itself 23 hours a day.

In comparison, the little mouse is considered to have a conscience.

This brain-like cyber city maintains not only the data of Zootopia, but also the data of the entire Infinite Highway.

In the entire Zootopia, most of the players are actually serving this thing.

From providing food and energy materials to analyzing data, removing pollution, and acting as customer service, we have everything we need.

That's why Chen Long subconsciously avoided this place. He thought Qiao Song would not dare to flood the Zootopia for the sake of this computer room, but Qiao Song even flooded the outside of the Zootopia.

Qiao Song knew that Infinite Highway was in its current predicament and that it could not be solved without destruction.

This world is not created for the purpose of passing levels and playing games. The capital city of the soul will only make more players continue to be lost.

Hong Shui is not just trying to overturn the table with Chen Long, she needs to restart this place.

"Before you get the rule card out, execute the last command."

Li Yuan's figure suddenly appeared behind Rat Annie, but this time it was not him who spoke.

Qiao Song's voice was firm and decisive:

"Open all the escape doors in the Mirror Zootopia. It's time to let this backup city play its proper role."

Countless black cards, like fragments of space, formed a circle and surrounded Qiao Song.

Anne had dark circles under her eyes, but she was smiling happily.

"As you command, Lord City Lord."

The little mouse pressed the last round button on the center console.

All the instructions were issued at the same time, starting from the central data processor of Zootopia, a newly edited escape rule spread throughout the world.

[Welcome to the escape door, the flood is coming, please be careful to avoid it! ]

Amid the noisy sounds, countless fragments of the Zootopia map were being put back into place. If someone was still staring at that special map of Zootopia at this moment, they would probably find that the entire city had turned into a void of white.

Not only in Zootopia, as the River of Life and Death spreads, this white color will gradually sweep across every place on the Infinite Highway.

The author has something to say:

I'm wrapping up soon, and then I'm going to start the prequel to Infinite Highway! I'll explain the ins and outs of the last river crossing. I'll write this part quickly, twice a week on the weekend, and then I'll go to the Happy Cemetery! That's the last dungeon! This won't be long.

It will be finished soon, this month. By the way, are there any dears who read the article on PC, can you give some moon stones to me?
