Chapter 276 Chapter 276

Another world.

In the ruins of a certain building, Mangtao, wearing a black cloak, huddled in the corner of a stone house that was still intact.

It was snowing outside, and everything was white at a glance. Mang Tao rubbed his two little hands together, and the breath he exhaled turned white.

In front of the ponytailed boy was a pot hanging on a simple iron rack, with firewood burning underneath.

At the collapsed door of the house, Shamon and Bai Yixin, both wearing black cloaks, walked in against the wind and snow.

"The coordinates here have been set." Bai Yixin patted the snow off his body and sat down.

Shamon put down a stick and threw it into the flames: "There's nothing burning nearby. Shall we change our position?"

"Well, this time we're heading west," said Mang Tao.

Sha Meng raised his head and thought for a moment, then pointed in a direction: "Where is west?"

It's no wonder that Shamon couldn't tell the directions. This world was covered by purple clouds. The sun couldn't be seen, and there was not even day or night. Every hour and every minute, the world was shrouded in lavender clouds. Except for the occasional snow, there was no change in this world.

The temperature remained at around minus 30 degrees Celsius. There were no plants or animals. There were only traces of civilization, stones and water. All life on the planet was dead.

If Mangtao and the other two had arrived in this world a little later, even the traces of civilization would have been corroded over time, and eventually this world, this planet, would have become a dead star.

No, it's not that nothing exists either. Strange things still linger in this world.

But according to the system, without humans as their prey, the monsters have no choice but to devour each other, and in the end they will also meet their own doom.

It’s just that the weird doomsday will obviously come much later than the doomsday of mankind, unless they can cross over to the new world.

This is also the reason why some powerful monsters, such as the Mirror Devil, will try their best to cross the world's barriers with their own abilities.

They don't want to sit around and wait for death.

The water in the pot boiled, Mang Tao opened the package and threw the frozen dumplings into the pot to cook.

In the system mall, the miscellaneous category includes all kinds of items available in the mall, from expensive gold and silver jewelry to cheap toothpicks and garbage bags, all of which can be purchased with salvation points.

Mang Tao thought he would never buy anything from the Miscellaneous Interface. Salvation Points were so valuable, why not use them to buy cheats? Why waste them on things that could be bought with ordinary banknotes?

Now it seems that the system functions are worthy of the efforts of our predecessors, and not a single one is useless.

The Weird Vest will not starve to death if it does not eat, but eating can restore its weird power and even speed up the healing of injuries.

Most importantly, eating can give you a sense of satisfaction.

Who could understand? For the past six months, they have lived in this dead world, a life worse than that of savages.

As soon as I landed in this world, I came to a place where monsters gathered and was surrounded by dozens of low-level monsters. Although it was not difficult to deal with them, it was time-consuming and laborious. After finally rushing out, I encountered two A-level monsters head-on.

In Qingtong's world, an A-level can make it to the international news and attract the attention of the whole world. Without an alias, no one can handle it.

But in this world, A-levels are as numerous as ants.

An abandoned town, full of A-level nests, they divide the territory and fight each other.

Because there were too many and it was too troublesome, Mang Tao and Bai Yixin used their ultimate skills, and the two strange domains cleaned up the place completely, and then this place became the base of SSS Mang Tao.

Before they had been at peace for two days, a nearby S-level monster heard the news and came running over, proposing a plan to join forces with Mangtao to besiege a third S-level monster nearby.

The reason is that as the opponent is S-level, he will be promoted soon. Powerful monsters regard low-level monsters as food. If he does nothing and waits for the opponent to be promoted, both he and Mango will become food.

Looking at the S-level monster talking freely, Mang Tao had only one thought at that time: Do I look weak? Why did it think I was an S-level monster?

Then the salvation system reminded him: "Host, you are a disguised type."

Although Mango is SSS-rank, its hunting method is to pretend to be weak and wait for the target to approach on its own. Once it is sure that the prey has entered the deepest part of the trap, it will suddenly extend its fangs and swallow the opponent into its stomach.

Mang Tao nodded in understanding. So that's how it is.

Concealing your wit and pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger is a passive skill. When you don't show your attacking posture, the boy looks weak and cute.

Of course, there is a limit to how weak a mammoth can be. No matter how weak a mammoth is, it can never turn into a mouse. Low-level monsters will still be feared instinctively.

The S-class was talking strangely and Mang Tao just listened to it with a smile, until Bai Yixin and Sha Meng who had gone out to investigate the situation came back and were dumbfounded when faced with two SS-class.

Then, he was slaughtered.

The powerful S-rank eccentric power was also divided, and even the corpse was recycled into points by the system. It was used thoroughly without any waste.

By the way, thanks to the information it provided, Mangtao found out the location of another S-class city, went there and cleaned it out.

Using this city as their base, Mang Tao and the other two advanced outward, gathering information while killing monsters and leveling up.

In half a year, I cleared more than a dozen cities. I don't know whether to say that I was lucky or not, I only encountered one SS-level, and the rest were only S-level at best. The action of advancing the map was very smooth.

I didn't encounter any weirdness in the origin, and I didn't encounter any vests.

Or maybe not at all.

This world is the world of the previous host's brother. Mang Tao's first purpose of coming here is to charge the photo stone and listen to the unfinished words of his brother.

The mission has been accomplished. The charging items of the Photo Stone are like the batteries in Qingtong's world, with only different models. They are very common and can be found by just looking around in a few abandoned buildings.

After listening to the unfinished words of the previous host brother, Mang Tao had a new goal, to try the feasibility of the theory proposed by the predecessor brother.

It just so happened that the senior brother had already planned most of the plan, even calculating the landmarks, so Mangtao just had to follow the map.

The only difference is that the senior brother planned to use the three landmarks as the base points to exclude the weirdness from this world, while Mang Tao's goal was to use these three landmarks as the base points to lead the weirdness in his world here.

So there is a step that needs to be done in reverse.

To achieve this goal, they eliminated a lot of weirdness and cleared a clean path.

"It doesn't matter if we don't encounter the origin of the weirdness. Anyway, this is not the main goal of this operation." Mangtao finished the hot dumplings, took a sip of soup, rubbed her cold little face, walked out of the building and came to the yard.

In the center of the yard, a huge five-meter-high diamond-shaped triangle stands on the ground.

The mirror did not reflect Mang Tao's face, but instead reflected another prosperous world that was different from this world and had the breath of life.

This is the second landmark that has been completed.

"We need to hurry up." Mang Tao whispered.

They have spent half a year here.

There are fragments of his soul in my own world, and the time the soul has gone through must be synchronized after returning, so if I want to go back, I can only return to the point in time and space half a year after I left.

The first landmark takes the longest time to reach, but the second and third are not far away.

"Let's pack up and go." Mang Tao said.

Bai Yixin and Shameng both nodded, one put out the fire while the other cleaned up the pots and bowls.

Then the three men, wearing black cloaks, walked into the blizzard again and headed towards the next landmark.

Not long after they left, a man dressed in snow-white stepped out and stepped on the still warm ashes.

"Hee." The man raised the corner of his mouth and smiled weirdly.

"Two SS, the other one... looks weak, but he is the leader of the two SS." The man asked, "What level do you think that kid is?"

Behind the man stood a strange-looking figure, with a body so stiff that it didn't look like a human. There were two abrupt red spots on his pale cheeks, and eyes and a mouth painted in ink, all of which proved that he was just a paper man. No, it should be said that he was a paper puppet.

The paper puppet was motionless, its dark eyes staring blankly ahead, its mouth didn't open but it made a sound: "I can't tell."

"Hmph." The man sneered and came to the mirror in the yard. He saw the world reflected in the mirror and his eyes widened in astonishment.

Then, he slowly stretched out his finger, wanting to reach into it and go to that new world.

When his fingertips were about to touch the surface of the mirror, the man stopped and withdrew his fingers.

He was very cautious and would not easily touch unknown objects, even if the images reflected on them were so tempting.

Moreover, he was not sure whether the owner of the mirror would be able to sense it at the moment of contact.

He didn't plan to act on his own before figuring out the strength of those three weirdos.

"Let's go, we'll follow quietly." The man said with a smile.

The paper puppet hummed, opened its arms and hugged the man from behind. The man and the paper puppet disappeared on the spot, and both the weird power and aura disappeared without a trace.

On the other side, the waiting room of Beijing Airport.

"Ah~~ I don't want to go at all." Huang Tianzhen leaned back in his chair with his head raised. "Although we are proud of being the strongest team in the country, I feel so painful when I think about the missions we have to carry out."

And this pain does not come from the weirdness that we are about to face, but from teammates from other countries.

"Just treat him normally." Qingtong said.

"Aren't you nervous?" Huang Tianzhen asked in astonishment. He looked at Gong Qian again, "What about you? You encountered this kind of thing on your first mission. Are you scared?"

Gong Qian was reading an e-book on his phone. He raised his head when he heard this: "Why are you so nervous? I should be the one waiting for support outside the strange territory."

After thinking for a while, he said, "It doesn't matter if he goes in. I'm also in charge of logistics."

He's not going to the front line, so what is he afraid of?

Besides, it's not like I haven't encountered A-level weirdness before, so I'm mentally prepared.

"I'm not talking about that. I'm saying..." Huang Tianzhen shook his head. "Okay, just don't be nervous."

Han Qi: "He is worried about the communication problem between the teams from other countries."

Gong Qian held up his earphones and said, "I've prepared a translator. If it breaks, there's a backup."

Su Sanan: "...That's not what I meant. Forget it."

Just at this time the boarding announcement sounded, and several people immediately stood up and started boarding the plane with their luggage.

"As long as I don't encounter any S-level weirdness, I won't be nervous." Gong Qian suddenly said.

Huang Tianzhen and his men stopped and looked at him.

Gong Qian: "What's wrong?"

Huang Tianzhen supported his forehead: "Don't talk about this now, it's like setting a flag."

He was already extremely nervous, and now after hearing this, he was extremely scared.
