Chapter 87 Gene Invasion 13
From the moment she was discovered spying on the spaceship, she felt that it was very likely that she was truly in the present moment of this world.
In other words, these game worlds are real.
[Congratulations! You have learned a part of the truth about the world. You are rewarded with a special lottery draw, which will be drawn at the end of the day.]
Lin Xia was stunned for a moment, her mind churning. In the previous game world, she was just one of the masses. When the apocalypse occurred, she and the people of that world were adrift in the apocalypse.
But this time... Lin Xia used [Spy] and saw the cause of this apocalypse, and was even discovered.
She wondered what the consequences would be if she were seen in the distant past or just a few days ago, and if she were discovered.
Those two minotaurs are monitoring the entire world; if they were so inclined, they would definitely have discovered these players.
She dares to say that each of the 27 players must have their own special abilities, talents, or skills.
Just like her, who used mental abilities, and A-Tong, who used wood-based abilities, if they pay more attention to surveillance when they are discovered using spying, they will find that these people are different.
They used terms like "the period of ignorance" and "breaking through the blockade," and although I didn't know what they were talking about, I had some guesses.
She thought it was likely referring to surpassing the limits of the human body, physical training, superpowers, and mental strength—all of which would make humans stronger, possibly the methods they spoke of for escaping the period of ignorance.
She guessed that breaking through the blockade was likely due to reaching a certain level of cultivation and overcoming some kind of restriction.
If they see images from a long time ago, they won't be discovered, but if they see the present, they will be discovered and will definitely be targeted for elimination.
Seeing the giant beast charging towards her, Lin Xia's heart trembled. She was worried that things had really happened and that she had truly become a part of the world's progress.
If they hadn't been discovered while spying, would they not have wanted to eliminate all humans?
This question had been nagging at Lin Xia's mind, making her restless and unable to eat or sleep.
Will all the people in this world, and the players who come to this world, be silenced because of their spying? Or perhaps they could have survived?
Lin Xia used the [Intermediate Protective Shield]. This problem weighed heavily on her mind. She retreated quickly, leading the group of giant beasts in circles.
She will be bothered by plants, but they will be bothered by more because they are too big.
Thinking of the lake he had seen earlier, Lin Xia ran towards it and exchanged for a [Flying Wings].
【Flying Wings: Enables your dream of soaring freely in the sky. Usage time: 30 minutes. Uses: 3 times.】
When they reached the lake, they encountered Atong, who was running in a disheveled state, but was desperately sprinting towards the lake, looking like she had nothing to lose.
Lin Xia activated [Flying Wings], skimming over the lake, and the giant monsters on his body plunged into the lake.
She flew to A-Tong's side, lifted her up, and flew over the lake. The giant beast behind her also rushed into the lake.
The lake quickly turned blood red. While dodging attacks from birds, Lin Xia used throwing knives to swiftly harvest eyeballs, then led A Tong into the dense forest.
The giant bird flapped its wings and swooped through the trees. Lin Xia looked down and saw that A Tong had completely wrapped herself in vines, shrinking inside as if she were carrying a giant birdcage...
Seeing her lower her head, Atong manipulated the vines to part a gap and handed out a prop.
Backup successful: Backup isolation*1, Required survival points: 3000
[Isolation: Completely isolates the location information of the building you are in. While inside the building, your information is also isolated, making you undetectable.]
Seeing the information on the card, Lin Xia glanced at A Tong. Originally, based on her own speculation, she wouldn't have ignored A Tong, but she really couldn't refuse this prop.
She packed up her props, picked up the 'birdcage,' and quickly moved through the dense forest. A-Tong breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Thank you."
Suddenly, Lin Xia noticed that the vine with purple flowers in front of her was absorbing the surrounding plants like crazy again.
Lin Xia quickly moved away, but the plants were still being absorbed inch by inch. Behind her, nothing grew, and the plants withered rapidly.
From a distance, the vine spread wildly in all directions, and the tree it was attached to grew taller and thicker.
Lin Xia carried A Tong and ran at full speed, while the giant bird quickly followed behind them as the trees disappeared.
A-Tong kept controlling the vines to whip the giant bird. Suddenly, Lin Xia rushed out of the dense forest. There was not a blade of grass growing here. Looking up, she realized that they had run to the safe base. The explosion that had just occurred had leveled the place.
A-Tong stood up and stood with Lin Xia, back to back, to defend against the attack from the giant bird in the sky.
As they watched all the greenery around them disappear, Lin Xia and A Tong were shocked. Before long, only a towering tree and vines remained, and there was a tall willow tree with branches reaching towards them.
The vines couldn't reach the two of them. Suddenly, the tree began to wither, and the vines started to grow longer again. The willow tree even used its branches to dig into the soil, trying to dig itself out.
Lin Xia was afraid they would run over, so as the giant bird swooped down, the energy from the three [Gold-type Ability Cards] rushed out at once, completely enveloping them.
The metal-based superpowers were constantly replenished and compressed, and they rampaged inside. A-Tong controlled the vines to tightly wrap around the outside of the metal bag.
One gold-type ability card after another was used up, until finally the giant birds suffocated, having used up 13 of Lin Xia's ability cards.
A-Tong plopped down on the ground, her face pale, looking at Lin Xia with amazement, giving her a thumbs up, and wearing a big smile of relief.
Looking worriedly at the willow tree and vines that were clumsily trying to 'run' over, he glanced at the time, then smiled again—he had survived again!
The tree withered and died, its vines drooping on the ground, the soft branches barely able to support its massive body.
The willow tree, however, desperately struggled with its roots, spreading them to both sides like two legs, trying to 'run' over.
But its roots were too deep and too long; if it moved, it would trip over itself. Lin Xia took out the sofa that the hotel had stored in its space.
The two sat on the sofa, looking at the willow trees and vines in the distance, eating their food and drinking water.
"Are all the people in this world dead?" A-Tong looked at the barren world and rubbed the sand under her feet.
Both fell silent. Had a civilization simply perished like that?
"Cough cough cough..."
Suddenly, a small crack appeared in the ground, but it wouldn't budge. A coughing sound came from there. Ah Tong rushed forward and lifted the crack.
The people below were startled, but after seeing clearly, they breathed a sigh of relief and slowly climbed up. They were all wearing thick protective suits, but many of them were damaged, and they were also carrying oxygen.
