Chapter 301: White Orchid Rain Festival (Eighty-Four)
In the rest area, the originally bustling game hall, after the Sixth Vice President and Twelve disappeared, and the leaders of other guild alliances also disappeared, the people from several guilds that were against the Guild Alliance finally reacted.
After all, the top ten guilds have already occupied all the advantages of the entire game in terms of the number of members and strength. If it were just a small guild, and it entered a mode of preparation or something different from other general situations, it might not attract the attention of other players.
But for a guild like this, with a large number of players and numerous subordinate industries, it is inevitable that a few players from other guilds with ill intentions will sneak into many positions. They may not cause any irreversible impact on the existence of the guild, but it is not impossible for them to get certain news in advance at critical moments.
For example, when the Sixth and Twelfth Vice Presidents are dealing with this matter, they may only tell the other Vice Presidents and corresponding persons in charge the relevant reasons to facilitate execution, but the players below usually do not know the specific reasons for entering a state of combat readiness. However, this does not prevent those people from feeling that a guild may have encountered some emergency situation.
The same situation happened to several other guilds, so it was impossible to complete this task silently in front of all the players in the rest area, especially since the leaders of the remaining guilds reacted quickly.
Fortunately, the Sixth Vice President and the Twelve only wanted to gain the upper hand and create a time difference at the beginning, so the atmosphere in the rest area became a little tense for a while.
The behavior of the big guilds will unconsciously affect the small guilds. They don't want to be cannon fodder, nor do they want to be victims. The best way is to sit back and observe the movements of the big guilds first. When the time comes, they will both suffer losses, and then one of them will benefit. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Therefore, under the influence of this kind of environment, the game hall became rare and empty. Regarding the situation of the guild league copy, for example, the guild league that had never caused fatal damage, this time half of the players died at once, including the top-ranked presidents and elite players. This news quickly spread to every corner of the rest area.
The players who were in the rest area were all concentrating their attention, looking forward to the dungeon to end as soon as possible so that everyone could have a good time. However, no one expected that trouble would come to them first.
What is a rest area? It is a place in the entire game where the system determines that players cannot fight and kill each other. It is a legal and relatively safe place where players can protect themselves and rest. In addition, the trade agreements reached by various guilds over a long period of time or the agreements formed under some tacit understanding allow players to briefly find some illusions of their survival in the original society here, and they even subconsciously realize that as long as they are in the rest area, they are absolutely safe.
Until the first crack appeared in the sky and the earth shook, the players did not realize at first that there was a problem with the rest area. They thought that players from a certain guild could not help but take action first. The players sent out by each guild to secretly investigate the situation did not get the information they wanted, until the crack in the sky could no longer be hidden.
It was like a ramshackle thatched hut on the Siberian ice field. It was not until the strong wind blew off the roof that the people inside realized that there was no safety for them living here. Now even the last shelter had been blown away by the wind.
The personal coldness finally woke them up from their sweet dreams, and at the same time made them realize the truth before them, or the truth of the game.
"What is that? Why is the sky shattered into pieces like glass?"
"Look, there seems to be something passing through it? I guess it's not my eyes playing tricks on me, right?"
"Are we still in the rest area? What the hell is going on? Is the game going to deal with us?"
"Why didn't the system give any prompts? What's going on? Who's coming? What's the reaction of other guilds?"
"What about the missing people? Is this the reason why the ten major guilds are on alert?"
"Someone, start the guild's defense mode..."
…
After a few seconds of silence, the news in the rest area quickly evolved into an explosive growth. Various communication channels and props were used to find out more accurate information, but they all felt a sinking feeling in their hearts after a few minutes, and then had to face it. It seemed that no player could have predicted everything before them. This was a complete emergency.
The densely packed dome revealed that the entire sky of the rest area had become completely dark because of the black air. The Sixth Vice President and the Twelve had seen the eldest lady absorbing the black air in the game, and of course they knew how powerful the black air was, but because of the distance, they couldn't see clearly what those things were.
Twelve originally wanted to use props to observe closely. After all, seeing those things, it seemed that she didn't know where they were about to jump over from. She couldn't just wait there. However, before she could take out the props, she was stopped by the Sixth Vice President.
"Don't move, something is wrong, don't act on your own."
Her voice was very low, but the hand that pressed down on Twelve's shoulder was very strong. "If even the rest area is about to fall, it is not a problem that we can solve with a few props."
The Sixth Vice President was the think tank of the guild besides Bei Xi. Twelve knew that under normal circumstances, he would not be so serious, but she could not understand the meaning of his words for a moment. "What do you mean? Are we just going to wait like this?"
Seeing that the black gas was almost about to jump out completely, Twelve pinched the palm of his hand. He did not make any move to break free from it, but was very confused.
"Don't forget that we are in the rest area. The rest area is a special area divided by the system to distinguish between the dungeon and life. Who do you think has the ability to destroy it directly? If even the place we think is safe is no longer safe, then how long do you think we can fight against those things by relying on the system and the abilities obtained from the game?"
At this point, the Sixth Vice President seemed to notice something and his eyes suddenly narrowed.
Twelve finally understood the deep meaning of the Sixth Vice President's words, and a chill rose in his heart. Before the chill spread through his internal organs, he followed the Sixth's gaze and saw something flying quickly in the air.
For example, there were only a few flying props at the beginning, but I don’t know if it was because the first player risked his life to rush into the air, so the other players finally got the courage and wanted to go one after another to check out those things that suddenly appeared to see what was going on.
"He is not a player from our guild. I have just given the order. Our people will not act on their own."
Twelve looked at Sixth's unhappy expression and explained dryly. In fact, Sixth could vaguely judge from their positions which not-so-conspicuous guild those players came from, but she just had a strange feeling in her heart.
However, this feeling did not last long, because they watched those players, like moths, fly into the abyss called "fire", and then after being entangled by the black air, they could no longer break free. In just a few seconds, they were reduced to a ball with the black air.
The Sixth took a breath, and the next second he immediately notified the alliance's guilds, asking them to stop sending players to rush into flames. In fact, the Sixth had also tried to contact other guilds, but given the current special situation, they seemed unwilling to answer the call, whether it was a call for recruitment or provocation.
However, the guilds that had sent people out before refused to believe it and were unwilling to lose players in just a few seconds, so they sent out a second team of players to save the first team. The result was just like the gourd baby saving his grandfather. None of the players who flew into the air survived. Once entangled by the black air, they were like prey caught in a spider web. They were all wiped out. And the Sixth noticed that this was only the state in which the black air had not completely escaped from another space.
With such groups of players coming one after another to serve as free guinea pigs, the rest area was completely plunged into another kind of tense mood. The sixth channel that was originally unable to connect finally established a connection after a brief stalemate. They had to temporarily abandon the possible situations in the guild league copy and face the moment of their life and death.
"We need an explanation as to why this happened. Is it related to the Guild League instance, or is it caused by your guild?"
Even though the facts were already in front of them, there were still some guild leaders who were unwilling to give up. They sent inquiries to a guild the moment the channel was connected. Or perhaps the situation happened too suddenly, so that the other party needed to find a target to rely on and ask her to give herself a reasonable explanation.
The Sixth Vice President did not expose the other party's thoughts, but he also did not allow such groundless speculation to continue to spread. "If our guild can achieve this level, is it necessary for us to waste time here in the game with you guys?"
These words directly burst the last bubble in the hearts of other responsible persons on the communication channel, forcing everyone to face reality. After all, as the sixth vice president said, if a guild can really do this in the rest area, they should also be able to leave the game directly, so why bother staying in the game like other players.
"So what should we do now? You all saw it just now. We are no match for those things. It seems that they are now completely crossing other spaces, but you also saw that they are getting closer to us little by little. It won't be long before they are no longer restricted in the air. Then, won't we be finished?"
Another voice was heard in the channel. Her questions were very sharp and pointed directly to the current contradiction.
But no one could answer her. Until this moment, most of the players truly realized the cruelty of the system or the game, and realized that they had actually been placed in a greenhouse from the very beginning.
Now that the greenhouse door was opened, they realized that they had no power to fight back.
Just when everyone was at a loss, the system that had been missing for a while finally let out a sharp alarm.
[Warning, warning, 1006 copy worlds have been disturbed...]
[Warning, warning, 5678 copy worlds have been disturbed...]
[Warning, warning, all dungeon worlds and rest areas have been disturbed, and the game has fallen into chaos mode. ]
As the system's progressive announcements continued, the players in the rest area belatedly realized that the problem was not only with the rest area, but with the entire game. Those who had just complained that the players who were in the dungeon were very lucky finally realized that in the current situation, there was no such thing as a pure land.
Both the dungeon and the rest area were disturbed, which was a situation that had never happened in the previous game. At this moment, whether it was the players in other dungeons or the players in the rest area, they were all stunned for a moment.
They expected the system to tell them how to solve this interference situation, but they found that the system seemed to only kill and not bury, with no follow-up at all.
The black air in the air was already stirring, like a hunter who had struggled for a long time and finally found the lively players, and couldn't wait to swallow the prey into his stomach.
Helpless is no longer an adjective, but a true portrayal. With the lessons learned from the past, no player dares to throw himself into a flame.
The sky was shrouded in black air, and it was getting darker and darker, like a dark cloud pressing down on the horizon, ready to fall in the next second.

The system was in an alarm state the previous second, but the next second it seemed to have recovered from a seizure and returned to its original tone, reporting the announcement.
At this moment, not only the players in the rest area and the players in different dungeons, but even the person involved, Nan Huan, were in a daze.
After all, the previous tip has to some extent shown everyone that no matter where they are now, the black gas above their heads is a time bomb that may explode at any time. No one will be spared and no one will be left alive. This is not what the system calls interference, but more like a large-scale massacre, and they are unarmed and have no chance of resistance at all.
But at such a critical moment, the system started announcing Nanhuan's mission rewards as if nothing had happened.
The person involved, Nan Huan, had actually already obtained two pieces of the faith totem fragments when the two Huls disappeared, so she was puzzled by the system's hindsight behavior. Until she found that as the system's prompt sounded, the other four pieces of the faith totem fragments originally in the control panel, as if they sensed something, separated from their bodies.
The gray plastic-like things seemed to sense each other and slowly gathered together without interference.
Almost at the same time, Nan Huan noticed that Bei Xi, who had been unconscious for a long time, finally woke up.
