Depend on……

Chen Nian covered his head and woke up from a brief coma.

Fortunately, he had adjusted the pain level in the game to 5% beforehand, otherwise the current situation would definitely be worse.

Chen Nian fumbled around and turned on the powerful flashlight he carried with him. The light illuminated the dark surroundings. Among the broken walls, Chen Nian saw a brown paper bag.

He immediately crawled over using his hands and feet, and saw Chen Ci's character lying face down on the ruins. No, to be more precise, he was lying on the body of an eye-catching man in a black leather miniskirt.

At the end of the fall, Fu Tianhe held Chen Ci in his arms and acted as a human shield.

Chen Nian turned Chen Ci over, and under the paper bag, there was indeed a face randomly generated by the system. It was ordinary and unrecognizable. It was the kind that even if you had seen it before, you would definitely not be able to recall it.

Chen Nian immediately took out medicine from his pocket and stuffed it into Chen Ci's mouth to replenish his health bar which had dropped during the fall.

At the same time, he looked around and saw a hand struggling out from the ruins, very much like the zombie claws poking out of the soil on the main page of Plants vs. Zombies.

The hand groped in the air a few times, but only grabbed a ball of air.

A few seconds later, the surrounding gravel rolled to the side and Bai Geying got out. He spat out the sand in his mouth and watched the surrounding movements vigilantly.

Chen Ci opened his eyes. Although he had played the game once before, he never thought that a game could be so realistic. The strong feeling of weightlessness while falling made his head heavy and his internal organs were all curled up into a ball.

"I'm fine." He whispered to Chen Nian, using Chen Nian's hand to climb up.

He picked up the paper bag that had fallen to the side and found that it had been torn apart when it fell. In addition to the two holes on the front, there was also a hideous slanted cut.

Chen Ci tried to put it on again, but the paper bag was a little out of shape. He turned the bag over, but again he couldn't see anything.

Chen Ci simply stopped using it and threw the bag away.

"Hey, hey..."

Fu Tianhe, who was acting as a meat pad, finally got up. He looked confused: "What happened? Did the moonlight in the game collapse? We can't get inside in reality, so why don't we experience it in the game first?"

Shafley nodded. "Maybe."

"What the hell?" Bai Gei Sakura was a real outsider and had no idea what they were talking about.

But soon, the president's attention was diverted by other things.

"And the whale fell off with it?"

Everyone looked in the direction he was looking, and saw Milo's huge body limp and silent. A dozen steel tendons pierced through his body, twisted and sticking out from his back, with blurry flesh and blood still attached to them.

Blood gushed out of the gap like a small fountain, flooding the ruins. Milo was injured and had been exposed to the ice for more than ten hours, but the blood all over his body had not yet dried out.

Chen Nian saw this and couldn't help but sigh. When Milo tried his best to reach the moonlight, did he expect it would end like this?

Or even if you know, you are willing to do it?

The smell of blood filled everyone's nose, while the other players were nowhere to be seen. They had been separated since the collapse.

But that's a good thing.

"It's really strange. Why did it collapse out of nowhere? The whale is almost dead. How much power can its tail have?" Bai Gei Sakura complained.

Schaffray: "Maybe it's simulating real-life situations."

Bai Gei Sakura opened her mouth wide, as if she realized something, and slapped her thigh fiercely: "I know!"

Chen Nian's eyes widened and he looked over, thinking that Bai Geyingtao had realized the connection between the situation and reality.

Baige Yingtao said excitedly: "In reality, the moonlight was also smashed by a whale!"

Chen Nian: “………………”

As expected, he shouldn't have expected anything. Bai Zui Yingtao's train of thought is not something that ordinary people can understand.

Shaffley remained indifferent, and it was obvious that he had no intention of hearing anything reliable from Baige Cherry from the beginning.

Baige Yingtao continued to reason: "Maybe the people on Moonlight were just like us, trying to move the whale into the beacon, maybe for food or something else, but they didn't expect the whale to show its power in the end and collapse the beacon."

To him, Electric Fantasy Kingdom is just a game. Even if Shable mentioned it, Baifu Cherry just thought that the game content was borrowed from real situations.

Seeing that everyone didn't seem to react strongly to his brilliant reasoning, Bai Geyingtao poked Chen Nian with his elbow: "You said so, Mono."

Chen Nian: “Ah, yes, yes.”

Milo's body was stuck on the steel bars and there was no sound. The hard metal armor was ultimately unable to protect it from the fall after death.

Regardless, the mission to stop the whale from falling has been accomplished.

"Let's go explore the surroundings."

The five people simply tidied up and began to explore the collapsed structure.

For a building of Moonlight's size, after it collapses, all kinds of reinforced concrete should be piled up together, leaving little space.

Now they were in a rather large cavity, and it was unclear whether it was a structure formed by accident or was designed long ago.

The dull rumbling sound continued to come from overhead. I didn't know what was still collapsing, and it was like a dark cloud that made people feel uneasy.

Perhaps before long, more things will come crashing down on them, filling up this hard-earned cavity and smashing them into mud.

Shafley took off the loudspeaker from his collar, and everyone lowered their voices subconsciously. Who knows if the vibration of the sound waves will affect some fragile structure and cause further collapse.

At this point, the clues provided by San Keyou didn't seem to be of much use. The five people each took a searchlight, dispelled the darkness around them, and looked around roughly.

Milo's body was still bleeding, and there was a hissing sound of gas being released from somewhere. The disturbing smell of blood was spreading, and there was no trace of any other players.

Everyone landed carefully in the ruins and climbed to a slightly lower place.

Chen Ci saw a brown sticky substance attached to the steel plate, which was still bulging with pus. He reached out and touched Chen Nian, and when his brother turned around to look at him, he made a gesture.

It looks very similar to what San Keyou mentioned.

Chen Nian said softly, "Why don't we try it ourselves? Three grams of oil didn't seem to cause any problems at the time."

Schaffray agreed: “Give it a try.”

Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you judge what the situation is.

Chen Nian pulled out a foldable stick from his Doraemon pocket, unfolded it to a length of two meters with a few snaps, and carefully poked the brown pus bag.

The metal plate attached to the pus bag immediately turned into a mosaic, with blurry small squares shaking and colorful colors popping up from time to time.

Schaffray: "It's data chaos."

For the four people who already know the true situation of the game, this word is easy to understand. All the content in the game is composed of countless data, even the characters they are currently controlling.

The pus scrambled the data on the metal plate, causing it to disappear.

If the character also comes into direct contact with the pus, he will most likely suffer the same fate.

Although White Cherry didn't quite understand what was said, she knew that for safety reasons she should not touch it.

As we move forward, more and more similar brown pus bags appear, clinging to the ruins or the collapsed inner walls of the beacon. Some have already broken during the collapse, leaving behind a disturbing mosaic.

After more than ten minutes of exploration on gravel and sand, as well as scattered traces of blue whale blood, everyone finally found the "door" that San Keyou mentioned.

Chen Nian: "Do you want to go in?"

Shafley: "Let's take a look around first. Maybe we'll find something else."

According to the information provided by Sankeyou, players will enter the next area after successfully completing the task inside the door.

Although the beacon is now completely collapsed and unrecognizable, there may be other cavities.

After a brief exploration, the team found four similar doors, inserted at an angle in the ruins.

The door is only a thin layer and can be easily moved around the side to the back, and you can still see the same door panel.

To put it in a more understandable way, these doors are just textures.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Shaflay pushed open the door, and for a moment he was transported back to the time when he was maintaining the program for the beacon.

To enter the program kernel from the initial white room, he needs to enter a line of code, and a door as thin as a paper will open in front of him.

It's hard to say whether it's a coincidence or not.

As soon as he stepped into the door, Fu Tianhe felt thick water vapor blowing towards his face. The surroundings suddenly became bright and no searchlight was needed to provide light.

The dull rumbling sound became clearer, no longer coming from somewhere in the main building, but actually coming from the heavy clouds above their heads.

It was an extremely large and thick cumulonimbus cloud, spreading like a mountain range for thousands of miles, brewing an unprecedented thunderstorm. Silvery-white light occasionally shone through the gaps in the clouds, making people shudder and extremely cold.

Five people were standing on a small boat, drifting with the current. The sea was vast and boundless, presenting an eerie blue-green color.

The wind whistled past, sweeping away the heat from my body without the protection of my clothes. Perhaps it was the low pressure before the storm that made it particularly hot and stuffy.

"This is... this is the Qilian Mountains!"

The special color of the sea water made Bai Gei Cherry recognize this familiar scene at once and shouted out.

He tried to grab Shafla excitedly, but his movements were so big that the boat shook. He quickly squatted down to lower his center of gravity and was forced to be quiet.

Shafla was equally surprised. It was impossible for him to easily forget this place that had left such a deep impression on him. In this sea area, he participated in his first boss battle in the Electric Fantasy Kingdom.

He truly witnessed the powerful engine of Electric Fantasy Kingdom. In comparison, the content he had played in other games seemed so boring and dull.

Since then, only the game "Dengen Godland" has been left in Shafley's neural adapter.

Anyone who has truly experienced the charm of Electric Fantasy Kingdom will find it difficult to be tempted by other games of the same type, because it has reached an unrepeatable peak in every aspect.

Shafley: "It seems that we didn't know each other at that time."

Bai Ge Yingtao was filled with emotion: "Yeah, I was at a relatively low level at the time, so I just fished in the outer circle and watched the excitement."

Chen Nian asked curiously, "How did you two know each other?"

Bai Gei Yingtao said, "We had a fight on a forum, and ended up fighting in a game. That's how we got to know each other. Hey, what was the fight about?"

Shafley: "I forgot, too."

Chen Ci simply sat down. He stretched out his hand and gently touched the surface of the sea. The water was very cool.

Fu Tianhe also sat beside him. The two of them looked at the sea together and whispered something that no one noticed.

The two had been focusing on real life before. Chen Ci had an adverse reaction when he used a neural adapter when he was a teenager, and was forbidden to use it since then.

Although as an Elector with extremely strong mental power, he needs to undergo cinnabar repair procedures.

Fu Tianhe is too busy at work. Just trying to survive and make money takes up too much energy, so he doesn't have time to spend on games.

Now that I can experience it myself, I find it quite interesting. The computer language composed of 0s and 1s can actually be transformed into a wonderful scene before my eyes. The real touch is just like another parallel world existing in the virtual space.

Chen Nian was still listening to the two people talking about the past, enjoying it very much.

Baige Cherry: "What boss did you fight? Finny, Philip?"

Shaflay: "Poseidon Fitz."

Bai Ge Yingtao: "Yes, it's true. At that time, our levels were not high, so we were not considered the main force. We just helped to clean up the miscellaneous fish nearby."

"Poseidon, is it that thing below?" Chen Ci suddenly asked.

Everyone stopped talking immediately and looked down, only to see a huge shadow slowly emerging.

The thing swam up from the deepest seabed, still some distance from the sea surface. It was just a shadow with a dark outline, and no more details could be seen.

But even so, everyone subconsciously held their breath and stared closely, fearing that something unexpected would happen if they looked away for a moment.

The fear of the deep sea seems to be buried in instinct.

"Yes, that's it." Bai Gei Yingtao lowered his voice like a thief. He quickly turned his head and looked around. He was dumbfounded to confirm that there were only five of them and a small boat on the empty sea.

"No way! Are we going to have to do the same mission all over again? We don't even have enough weapons!"

Fu Tianhe put his arm around Chen Ci's shoulders. Even during the game, he still subconsciously wanted to protect the young man beside him.

Chen Nian: "And did you notice that there is no system to remind us to complete the task? It's different from what San Keyou said."

Bai Ge Yingtao: "What should we do now?"

Shafley: "Try to survive."

There were a few scattered oars at their feet. Everyone picked them up and started rowing, trying to get away from the expanding black shadow.

However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not escape the rapidly expanding range of the shadow.

Below me was the blue water and the approaching dark shadows, and above me were the heavy clouds that were still gathering. Fear was like the sword of Damocles hanging over my head, making my breath freeze.

I want to escape, but I can only go around in circles.

Crackling——

The flash came so suddenly that it almost blinded everyone's eyes.

When my eyes recovered from the dazzling white light and were barely able to see, I saw a huge ball of lightning falling from the clouds and smashing directly into the sea!

Sizzle——

The powerful energy released suddenly turned the entire sea into a death cemetery for all living things in an instant.

Including huge creatures underwater.

It writhed in agony and finally jumped out of the water. Its charred flesh emitted a strong stench of burning protein, while its metal parts were plated and sparkled with countless high-energy arcs.

Poseidon Fizz swung its long, hooked tail like a scorpion wildly, stretching straight up to the sky, trying to disperse the cloud!

Suddenly, even the splashing sea water became the most deadly weapon.

But there was no way for people to dodge. The struggle of the Sea Emperor caused huge waves, which swept the small boat into the sky.

Chen Ci narrowed his eyes, and the cold rain fell into his pupils. The thunderclouds seemed to be only a hand's distance away from him, and he saw the white lightning flashing in the clouds.

And hidden inside it are huge blue eyes.

Lightning struck.

Amid the stench of burning and roasting, the fragile boat fell apart, and everything happening around it could no longer be perceived.

Chen Ci heard Fu Tianhe yelling, heard Bai Geyingtao screaming "Fuck", and heard Shafulai yelling at Chen Nian to grab his hand.

They were thrown high by the waves, attracted by the lightning, and entered the blue eyes——

Then it fell into the sea with a splash.

Gulp...

Everything around me seemed to slow down.

The swimming skills he had learned earlier came in handy. When he suddenly fell into the water, Chen Nian did not panic. He quickly adjusted his body shape, swung his arms, and kicked his feet hard, emerging from the sea like a nimble fish.

Chen Nian took a deep breath and wiped the water off his face. The sea surface around him turned light blue, and it was obvious that they had arrived at a new place.

He looked around, searching for any sign of other people.

Before Chen Nian could recover from the shock, a huge mouth appeared in front of him without warning.

Everything in front of my eyes went dark.

The water surface was turbulent, and a fishy smell rushed into his nose. It was the stench of rotten meat, tartar, and bacterial fermentation. For a moment, Chen Nian even thought that the burnt smell was better.

Apparently, he was swallowed by some giant creature.

Chen Nian turned around hastily, feeling dizzy. He saw the light coming through his mouth, which was open again, as well as circles of densely packed sharp teeth.

But before he could swim over, he was swallowed by another huge mouthful of sea water and rushed to a deeper place.

Chen Nian barely saw two figures being swallowed up, and based on the familiar black and pink color scheme, he determined that they were Fu Tianhe and Chen Ci.

At the same time, a large school of sardines also came in, and they rushed around Chen Nian in panic, trying to escape.

Chen Nian waved his arms vigorously and swam against the waves to the two people.

"Brother--" As soon as he opened his mouth, the sea monster opened its mouth again.

More seawater poured in as the sea monster changed its swimming style and poured down from the top of its head.

Chen Nian was knocked deep again, and his body hit something hard and tough, probably the edge of the monster's mouth.

As the big mouth closed, the surroundings became completely dark. Two isolated beams of light suddenly appeared. It was unknown who turned on the flashlight.

The sea water was flowing rapidly behind him, and Chen Nian felt as if he was washed into a sewer, smelly, cold and stuffy.

Fortunately, he no longer had to look for other people because all the people and fish and shrimp were carried to a hard filter plate deep in the water by the current. The sea water flowed out, and any larger creatures were left in the mouth.

Chen Nian threw the two sardines that had been slapping him in the face with their tails away and shouted, "What the hell is this!"

"Filter! We have been swallowed into the stomach of the Sea King!" Shafulai's voice echoed in the huge mouth.

Chen Nian: “Ah?”

Poseidon? ?

Why is there more???

Shafulai struggled to shuttle through the school of fish and finally came to Chen Nian's side. He grabbed his Omega's hand and said quickly:

"This is the second sea king I encountered in the main storyline of the game, Maxini, it——"

Before Shaflay could finish his words, the surroundings began to wriggle violently, and the muscles in his mouth pushed everything toward his dark throat.

A dull sound came from all directions, carrying with it a vibration, like the low laugh of the Sea King.

They will slide down the esophagus into the stomach along with countless fish, and the stomach acid will dissolve all living things into slag.

But the moment they passed through the throat, the huge green eye swallowed them up.

The light in front of his eyes suddenly brightened up again, and Chen Nian fell to the ground with his arms and legs spread out, his head still filled with the nauseating stench from the Poseidon's mouth.

"Tsk..."

He turned over half dead and began to vomit.

Chen Ci raised his head, soaking wet, and looked around calmly.

There was still endless dark sea all around them, except for a small island under the feet of the five of them, which was covered with some green moss.

Familiar memories were suddenly recalled, and Fu Tianhe asked casually, "Are there sea turtles here too?"

"Isn't this a bit too exciting, ugh..."

Bai Ge Yingtao was exhausted and powerless. The rapid and chaotic changes in the scenes made him dizzy and disoriented. After playing the game for so long, this was the first time he felt dizzy and wanted to vomit.

The weapons of several people were soaked in water to varying degrees. Shafla took the opportunity to make sure that the guns they were carrying were not muted, and then he felt the island beneath him suddenly tremble.

not good!

Fu Tianhe immediately grabbed Chen Ci's hand, and Shafley also used his hands and feet to come to Chen Nian's side.

Bai Gei Yingtao put down her gun and was about to look for her best friend in the game, but she found that Shafulai had already gone to Chen Nian's side, and she couldn't help but feel sad.

He immediately leaped over and grabbed Chen Nian's other arm: "No, don't leave me!"

The island continued to rise, the sea water rushed down, and more area was revealed, with complex scale-like patterns on the dark ground.

Even the dullest person could realize that something was wrong. What they were standing on was not land, but the back of a large creature!

A sound similar to crawling was heard, and the vibration was felt by the body through the soles of the feet. A huge round object was moving quickly from the junction of land and water.

When they were still more than 20 meters away from the crowd, they recognized that it was an eye.

The muscles kept squirming, making a disgusting sticky sound, and the eyes kept moving along the body surface, finally reaching everyone.

The inorganic eyes stared at the five vigilant people, and the eyeballs moved from Fu Tianhe on the far left to Bai Gei Yingtao on the far right, as if making some kind of judgment.

Everyone huddled together, not daring to even breathe, their bodies covered with goosebumps as they rushed to stand up and raise the flag, their S-values ​​almost reaching zero.

The giant eye blinked slowly, and the next second, the surrounding flesh suddenly squirmed, and it appeared at the feet of the five people.

What does it feel like to step on an eyeball? Chen Nian never wants to recall that strange feeling again in his life.

Fortunately, it didn't last too long, and the eyes quickly turned bloodshot scarlet.

They fell in.
