Chapter 108 The Mystery of the World
(This chapter is an extra chapter for 8w nutrient solution)
The sky was filled with wind and sand.
A slender figure stepped on the yellow sand, dragging a huge long-handled sickle in his hand and looking around vigilantly. Suddenly, several dark yellow shadows more than half a meter long quickly emerged from under the quicksand and rushed towards the man.
The man was prepared, and he pushed his feet hard and jumped more than two meters high, avoiding the three sandworms that rushed towards her. At the same time, the sickle in his hand rotated, and a chop brought up a sharp edge that killed the three sandworms at the same time.
After landing, she rolled on the ground, dodging two sandworms that had just emerged from the sand to attack her. Then she bent back, and the sickle hooked the blade from left to right, cutting the sandworm in half again.
The chopped sandworm bounced a few times on the spot, and green liquid burst all over the ground, and some splashed on her.
She wiped it with the back of her hand nonchalantly, revealing a beautiful young face. This was the body she had reshaped after completing her first SS-level world and entering the inner tower - her real body. After several missions, her fair skin had already turned into a healthy wheat color. She shook the sickle in her hand, and the liquid on it fell on the sand.
Leng Mian looked around and frowned again.
This world is not right. It has been three days and three nights since she entered this mission world. She has not walked out of this desert and has encountered all kinds of alien creatures.
If it is according to the data, this is a world invaded by aliens. Even the aliens should have higher technology, not such primitive creatures.
Could it be that this is a wasteland world that has been invaded by aliens for many years?
She took out a bottle of water from the space, drank it in one breath, and set out on the road again.
This is Leng Mian's second SS-level world mission. Before this, she has experienced countless apocalyptic worlds.
Today's Leng Mian is no longer the girl who fled in panic in school, nor is she a brave warrior who followed the army through life and death.
The original her had already died before her 30th birthday.
But later she regained consciousness and recovered to her appearance when she was twenty years old, but she was not alive, just existing in another form.
The more she experienced, the more she slowly understood that the world she was born and raised in might just be a mission world. And the person who "disappeared" might be a missioner just like her now.
Many, many years have passed, and the person who once gave her warmth has long become an obsession in her heart.
I want to see her again, but when can I see her?
Leng Mian paused, and a figure as tall as a hill was lying not far away. The creature noticed her approaching and turned around to rush towards her.
Her eyes turned cold, and she took back all the memories and tenderness in her mind, put them in place, and then froze her expression, dragging the long-handled sickle to face him.
The wind in the desert blew up her long hair and continued to blow backwards, brushing past another invisible slender figure far behind Leng Mian.
There was a gray halo barrier around him, which blocked all vision of the outside world. From the outside, it was a young man with black wings, his face was delicate and picturesque, but he had a faint and sarcastic smile on his face. Looking at
her expression, she should be thinking of that person again, right?
It's ridiculous, it's been so many years, and she still remembers it.
But he didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence that the person she wanted to see was the "variable" this time. And she almost went to the world where the "variable" was.
It was just a "variable" as small as dust, and it didn't matter whether the other party existed.
But since it was related to her, it was different.
The young man hummed softly, and this time his smile looked as pure as an angel's.
No one could save the person he wanted to wipe out.
That "variable" had only one way to go, which was death.
**
At the other end of time and space, in another dimension - this was the world where Leng Mian was supposed to come. The attack by the spaceship had lasted for a full thirty hours. From one end of the planet to the other, no place was spared.
The underground laboratory on the outskirts of Fancheng had been completely opened up due to two rounds of bombing, exposing the rooms and laboratories on the second underground floor, as well as the survivors wearing protective gear hiding in the gaps.
"Where's Captain Zhou?" Someone was looking around in the wreckage. "Didn't you say he found a way to break into the fourth underground floor?"
"That was before the spaceship attacked here! A few hours ago, he took his team to the ground to prepare for a counterattack..." This was another researcher. The disaster struck, but they were powerless to fight back. They could only hide in the laboratory, thinking they could escape. But they didn't expect that such a solid building would be blown up.
What kind of existence is the other party?
What happened to this world?
After more than half an hour, the entire second and third underground floors were blown up. The survivors in the laboratory who wanted to escape did not go far before they were attacked again by a nearby spaceship.
Whether it was the researchers, the troops in the shelter, or the ordinary people... No one was spared.
At the same moment, the countdown on the fourth underground floor finally ended, and the people shrouded in the light golden halo completed the mission before they died.
Those alien creatures would never have thought that it was the spaceship they sent to this planet for reconnaissance many years ago that temporarily blocked their attack and indirectly saved the life of a certain "variable".

When Youxi regained consciousness, she was already in the star house.
This mission ended very hastily. She didn't even have the energy to open her eyes to look at the surrounding situation. She directly replied to the system in her mind to leave.
[The fifth doomsday world mission has been completed, the number of star coins: 640. ]
[Team mission (disguise) failed, the number of star coins: 640. 】
After hearing this, Youxi was a little speechless. Since it was a fake team, there was no such thing as success. They even reported failure. It was a bit boring...
[The low- to medium-level acid rain world was invaded by world fragments. The world difficulty was upgraded to a high- to medium-level apocalyptic world. 100 star coins were issued as compensation. The number of star coins is 740. 】
[The next mission will be opened at midnight on the 7th of next month. Please come to receive the world data before midnight on February 6th. 】
Youxi:...!!
There is such a good thing?
However, when she thought of the feeling of dying at the end of this mission, Youxi immediately gathered her mind.
Perhaps it was because the previous missions were too smooth. No matter what kind of world it was, because she had all kinds of star tools, she subconsciously felt that no matter how big the trouble was, she could solve it.
This was indeed the case before. Relying on the high-output star tools and the enhanced high-strength body, she was indeed invincible. Even if she occasionally encountered some tricky situations, she could still turn danger into safety in the end.
A person who often stays in a dangerous world, but can always be in a safe situation, will develop a fatigue mentality over time. Sometimes, even if the mind knows that this is dangerous and may cause trouble, the body's memory will make her subconsciously believe in herself.
The last time she encountered such a situation was in the Meteorite World. If it weren't for Youqi and Tang Yatong's help, she might really have died under the attack of the perverted tasker. Even if she finally killed the other party with the help of the Star Tool, she would probably be seriously injured.
This time, she and Lin Wu were indeed cautious and did not go down the metal stairs, but this caution was far from enough at the moment - or in other words, her strength was far from matching her trust in herself.
Because she was concerned about the other humans in the lab, the parents of Lin Wu's body, and Youxi also hoped that this body would be alive and well after she left, she subconsciously went in to check when she found that the door behind was not a lab and was empty... She
originally thought that she was just waiting to see what was going on, thinking that no matter what happened, they could handle it with their combined offensive and defensive combat power. As a result, it was this mentality that almost caused her to die in the mission world this time.
If it wasn't Lin Wu - but, was that Lin Wu? The one who opened the barrier should be Lin Wu, after all, he was also a missioner, and maybe he had a way to save his life, or maybe his barrier had other functions that she didn't know about.
If it hadn't been for Lin Wu's desperate rescue, she would probably have really died.
But the feeling of dying was very uncomfortable, as if her body was completely destroyed, so when she heard the system's voice announcing the end of the mission, she immediately chose to leave.
Fortunately, it was only the body in the apocalyptic world that was dying, and when she regained consciousness, all the discomfort in her body disappeared.
But because of this, she didn't have time to figure out what was hidden under the cylindrical metal stairs, what the black shadow was, what secrets that world had, and what happened after they left...
But she couldn't think about it anymore, because Fan Qi and You Feng were still standing in front of her, looking at her with worried eyes, as if she was about to go on a long journey.
Behind them, all the places in the Star House where things could be placed were filled with stacked supplies. Fortunately, she now had 740 star coins!
You Xi reached out and pressed against the black door panel: System, upgrade the Star House immediately!
[Host, do you confirm the second upgrade of the Star House? ]
You Xi: Confirm.
Just like the first upgrade, the moment she confirmed the upgrade, the Star House disappeared again, and the vast universe appeared in front of her again.
Nebulae and stardust exist and change in their own forms. Time and space have lost their meaning. She seems to be wandering in the universe, from one galaxy to another. This boundless universe will never end for her...
Unlike last time, the fantasy of the universe and nebulae seems to last longer. She vaguely sees a small black shadow in a nebula...
No, it's not a small black shadow, it's a huge spaceship...
The fantasy came to an abrupt end. She seemed to be pushed out from somewhere by an invisible hand, and her consciousness returned to her body instantly.
[Host, the second upgrade of the Star House has been completed. Number of star coins: 340. ]
The neutral system sound rang in her mind, and the voice was particularly indifferent, as if she had returned to the state of the first two missions.
Youxi: Why do I feel that you seem a little... Are you okay? What was that thing I just saw, a spaceship?
[The Star House warehouse has expanded as the Star House is upgraded.]
[The Star House simulation function has been turned on.]
[The Star House one-click scene change function has been turned on.]
However, the system did not give any response to her question. It continued to broadcast the message in an almost mechanical tone and then returned to peace.
You Xi always felt that something was wrong, but she had something else to do and could not investigate it for the time being. She sensed the size of the Star House warehouse and was overjoyed. The 180 cubic meters of zero-gravity and timeless space that had been maintained from the beginning to the present had finally expanded, and it had more than doubled.
