Chapter 53 Waking up in the Ruins



After eating, he sat down to rest and "woken up" the virtual dream device. In the interface that prompted the new dream world, there was a small window with the word "props" written on it.

There was no such window in the first dream.

He guessed that he must have completed the previous dream mission and obtained fifty points before meeting the conditions for unlocking it.

After clicking it, a dense array of small pictures appeared in front of him. When his attention was focused on a certain picture, that picture would enlarge and form a three-dimensional figure.

They are all equipment, such as guns, daggers, axes, medicines, as well as large vehicles such as cars, there are dozens of kinds in total.

Chen Xu felt that it was becoming more and more like a game.

The above props are not expensive. An ordinary pistol only costs two points, and one hundred bullets only cost one point.

Judging from the name of this world, there is a high probability of encountering monsters, so you will need weapons to protect yourself.

He changed to a pistol and a rifle, which, coincidentally, was the same model he had been using in the previous dream world. Two units of each type of bullet.

In this way, five points are spent.

Next, he bought an exoskeleton robotic arm (left), which cost 40 points. He used the remaining 5 points to buy a backpack, drinking water, food and some medicines.

He thought about it carefully. The props above, whether it was machine guns or heavy weapons such as rockets, were indeed powerful. But they had to hit the target to be useful. Only this kind of exoskeleton machine could directly enhance his strength and was more useful.

It was just too expensive. A single robotic arm cost 40 points, and a complete set required 80 points. He didn't have enough points, so he could only afford one.

This exoskeleton robotic arm has built-in energy. The whole thing weighs only 30 kilograms, but its maximum power reaches 10 tons. It is definitely black technology.

After spending all his points, he left, lay down on the bed, and prepared to fall asleep.

…………

"You are about to enter the virtual dream world 'Alien Beast Invasion'. The difficulty of this dream world is level one and it will last for 180 days. I wish you a wonderful experience in this dream world."

Chen Xu heard the voice again and couldn't help but open his eyes.

What he saw was a gloomy sky, as if covered with a thick layer of dark yellow fog, which made people feel depressed.

"Not in the room this time?"

He smelled a strong burnt odor and tried to stand up, but found that there were stones of different sizes under him, which were very uncomfortable. He stood up and looked around, feeling a little dazed.

All around him was a deadly ruin, like a city razed to the ground in a movie. There were collapsed buildings everywhere, and he was standing on a pile of waste bricks and broken concrete pillars, occasionally seeing a section of severely rusted steel bars.

This is a lifeless ruin of a city.

Woo——

A gust of wind blew by, making a creepy sound.

Chen Xu looked at the broken building in the distance and felt his scalp tingling. "What on earth happened in this world?"

Could it be that those invading monsters destroyed the world?

If that's the case, it would be too dangerous. Surviving here for one hundred and eighty days is simply an impossible task.

Even though he had experienced the dream once, he still felt a little scared when facing such an environment.

"By the way, where are the items I exchanged for?"

He had nothing on him, and the props he had exchanged for fifty points were nowhere to be found.

"No?"

He looked around anxiously, and when he turned around, he found a headless corpse with blood all over the ground, which looked extremely bloody.

"Such a large scale?"

He suppressed his discomfort and walked towards the corpse.

Judging from the color of the blood, the man must have died not long ago, which means that there is a high possibility of danger lurking nearby. His first reaction is to get a weapon to defend himself.

The corpse was wearing clothes of a very strange style, and looked like a soldier, and it was very likely that he had weapons on him.

When Chen Xu approached, he saw a pistol at his feet. His eyes lit up and he went forward to pick it up.

"Why this model?"

He was surprised that this was the model he was used to. He ejected the magazine and found it was full of bullets.

In any case, with a gun in hand, he felt a lot more at ease, and if he encountered danger, he would have the strength to fight.

He looked around and soon discovered a new situation. Something was burning in a relatively intact building about ten meters away.

"Go and have a look."

He loaded the bullet and slowly approached, while paying attention to the movements around him.

When he saw the scene inside the building clearly, he couldn't help but sigh. When he saw the corpse outside, he had some guesses, but he didn't expect the scene to be so tragic.

There were corpses of people and monsters inside. There were traces of fierce fighting everywhere, and blood was sprayed everywhere.

He hesitated for two seconds, then walked in.

Because he saw an exoskeleton armor that looked familiar. The style was exactly the same as the one he exchanged for with his points. If he said it was a coincidence, he would never believe it.

"They are just some NPCs and monsters. They can't scare me."

He muttered to himself, deliberately avoiding looking at the corpses. As he approached the building, he picked up a rifle. As expected, it was the same one he had exchanged.

He silently put the gun behind his back, walked to the corpse wearing exoskeleton armor, and found that the right arm was severely damaged, but the left arm was intact.

Obviously, these were the props he exchanged for. It was just that they did not appear directly in his hands, but he got them in this way.

“Is this for added realism?”

He couldn't help but smile bitterly. Just now he thought that the things he exchanged were lost and he was very sad, but it turned out that they were waiting for him here.

"If I was careless and just left, wouldn't I have missed it?"

He could only sigh that tourists have no human rights. They were not even given any hints when playing a game. They had to figure everything out on their own.

Then, he recalled the operation process, took off the exoskeleton arm from the corpse, and put it on himself.

It is called a robotic arm, but it actually includes legs. Without the support of feet, the weight of 30 kilograms alone is enough to tire a person to death.

This robotic arm is semi-covered, and when put on, it feels like wearing half a suit of armor.

He tried to move around and felt that the impact was not significant and he was as flexible as usual.

"Try the strength."

He saw a concrete pillar more than two meters long lying on the ground. He grabbed one end and exerted force, and the concrete pillar weighing several tons left the ground.

"It's really black technology." He put down the concrete pillar and sighed in his heart, "From this perspective, the technology in this world is much more advanced than reality."

Just then, he heard some movement behind him. He turned around abruptly and saw a green-skinned monster more than one meter tall, drooling, less than five meters away from him.

For a moment, all the hairs on his body stood up.
