Chapter 157: Extra Story · The Eighth Mission 1
In the dark and damp sewers, the foul stench made people feel uncomfortable, as if they were in a huge dung bucket.
From time to time a few drops of dirty water dripped from the water pipe above and fell into the gutter below, making a ticking sound.
A fat mouse was lying on the ground, eating something, completely ignoring the light and footsteps behind him.
It wasn't until a black short boot stepped on it less than five centimeters away that it squeaked twice and disappeared in front of it.
Qin Yi lowered his head and glanced at it, only to see a **** palm lying on the ground that had not been devoured by mice.
Gong Xiao held a lamp in his hand, and said in a low voice, "There is another fork in the road ahead."
"Look for an exit to go up there and have a look?" Qin Yi glanced forward, "There should be an exit ahead."
The two of them didn't talk much. In this kind of place, every breath seemed to be inhaling poisonous gas, and they talked as if they were eating something.
They continued to walk a little further, and successfully saw a pipeline leading to the ground.
Qin Yi took the lamp in Gong Xiao's hand and whispered, "Be careful."
Gong Xiao smiled and stepped on the iron ladder next to him to climb up. Qin Yi raised the table lamp to help him illuminate, and soon he opened the manhole cover a little.
Instead of pushing the manhole cover directly out, Gong Xiao only moved it slightly, then leaned in to look out, and then lowered his head and said to Qin Yi with confidence, "I'll go up first, wait until I tell you to come up again."
This is already the eighth mission after they established their relationship. Qin Yi was used to it. She shrugged and said, "Okay, be careful."
In the world of this mission, the doomsday type is an alien alien invasion.
The original event occurred when a small meteorite fell to Earth.
A meteorite fall is a very common thing, let alone a small meteorite that did not cause any casualties. Almost no one would take such a small meteorite to heart, but no one would have thought that such a small meteorite would bring earth-shaking changes to the whole world.
I don't know when it started, some strange-looking creatures appeared. No one even knows how they appeared on the earth, and it was not until later that the world was ruled by them that a theory gradually spread.
It is said that the meteorite is not a fallen planet, but a probe that these alien creatures deliberately launched against the earth.
According to the understanding of people on earth, it is indeed a thing that is no different from a stone. Even if it is detected with the highest level and most sophisticated instruments, it cannot detect anything related to the equipment hidden in it.
Just as humans always believed that the living environment of alien creatures must have water and oxygen, in the limited cognition of human beings, they never thought that the stone would be some kind of instrument for alien creatures.
According to their instruments, the alien creatures detected that the humans on the earth are very weak, and the earth environment is so beautiful and comfortable, so some of them landed on the earth as the first batch.
It is easy for them to occupy the earth, and the weapons of mankind are nothing before them.
Even as long as they want to, with just a few simple movements, those so-called high-tech weapons will immediately lose their effectiveness.
They have an absolute advantage, wiped out heads of governments in a very short period of time, and let all human beings see their irresistible capabilities.
A year later, the earth has become their homeland, and human beings have not become extinct, but have become slaves under their rule.
A new country was established, and ten regions were divided among the countries. The first region was where the supreme ruler of the country was located, and the first five regions were the settlements of alien creatures.
Further down, it is where the humans are.
Alien creatures have a special instrument. They use that instrument to perform a test on each human who is willing to surrender, and according to the test results, human beings are divided into three, six, nine, and nine. After the human beings are separated, they live separately. in from the sixth district to the tenth district.
Relatively speaking, humans in Zone 6 live the best lives of all and do some mental work, while those in Zone 10 do the hardest and dirtiest jobs.
This time the mission was Hu Lai's, Qin Yi and Gong Xiao used points to enter his mission together, and this became their mission.
The mission objective is to escape from the tenth district.
It is now the fifth day of entering this world. At first, the two of them acted together with Hu Lai and a player who had met in this mission.
Later, when they split up as planned, Hu Lai and the others failed, were discovered by the alien creatures guarding them, and arrested and entered the Tenth District Zoo.
This zoo, of course, is no longer the kind of zoo it used to be.
For alien creatures, other animals are far more precious than humans, and they have already been transported to the first few areas.
The "zoos" in these latter areas contain human beings.
Those human beings who attempt to act in vain to resist will be directly obliterated if the circumstances are serious, and those with less serious circumstances will be sent to various places including zoos, research institutes and so on.
Sometimes, the alien creatures in the first five districts will go out to "tour" and visit other areas for sightseeing. Zoos where humans are held are one of the places they often go.
The humans in the zoo will be forced to do various actions according to the orders of the alien breeders, and they must do their best to please the tourists. Once the alien creatures are dissatisfied, what awaits them is death.
Now, it's the day after Hu Lai and another player were taken away. The two of them were caught yesterday afternoon, and it is now ten o'clock in the morning the next day.
The sky was made by alien creatures into their favorite deep red by some means. Under that kind of light, all the scenery was bloody, which made people feel very depressed.
However, Qin Yi and Gong Xiao didn't have time to take care of this. As soon as they came out of the sewers, they hurriedly found a hiding place to hide.
In the distance, a patrol of alien creatures is slowly approaching.
They have odd shapes, and while they appear to be of the same kind, there are all kinds of odd shapes. This is completely different from humans. Although human beings are not necessarily similar in appearance, they all have a head with hands and feet, and also have two eyes, two ears, a nose and a mouth.
Among the alien creatures, there are three eyes that grow on three thin lines, and the other ends of the thin lines grow together, floating in the air and moving.
Some are just round meatballs, some are flat, like a sheet of pancakes, and some are even full of holes, and every hole will make a sound when it makes a sound.
Qin Yi has never seen two identical with those various jaw-dropping appearances.
But they also have one thing in common, that is, they don't need oxygen to sustain life. To be precise, they don't need to breathe at all.
In short, those are some creatures that cannot be fought by the current human beings.
Fortunately, Hu Lai is much calmer now than before. When he was arrested yesterday, he stood obediently waiting for them to come and did not make any resistance.
Because of this, now Qin Yi and Gong Xiao have a chance to save people. Otherwise, he might have been cold yesterday.
This mission is very important to Hu Lai. As long as he completes this mission, he will collect enough 2,000 points to bring his wife and daughter back to life——
Although, this resurrection is not really a resurrection.
After all, even Qin Yi and the others are not really alive now.
In that quarterly mission two years ago, all players were given the same mission to return to where they were when the apocalypse came.
At the end of that mission, Qin Yi saw her own body and remembered the situation when she died. And all the other players, like her, remembered the truth without exception.
The mission that time was deliberately arranged by the system for everyone. The mission setting was not difficult, and almost everyone could easily complete it. The purpose was to let them all know the cruel truth in the mission.
Everyone is dead, before entering this game.
The system said before that the players who entered the game were randomly selected. Later, when Qin Yi asked more carefully, he learned that those who were not selected would enter a chaotic world after death.
In that world they have no consciousness and feel nothing, like a stone, a dust.
The people who are drawn, although they have died in the original world, can still survive as living people in other worlds.
If Hu Lai succeeded in resurrecting his wife and daughter, it would mean that their souls would regain consciousness and come to the world he now lives in.
But no matter whether this is really alive or another kind of life after death, for Hu Lai, it is all worthwhile.
So Qin Yi and Gong Xiao have been helping Hu Lai all the time.
After the two of them established their relationship, they entered Hu Lai's mission together every time.
Unexpectedly, this task is much more difficult than before.
Qin Yi quietly shrunk his body into the corner of the wall as much as possible. After watching the alien patrol in the distance away, he breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Gong Xiao beside him, "See, the zoo is over there. , not too far away."
"Well, write down the direction first, we still have to go from below." Gong Xiao looked at the zoo in the distance, squinted slightly, and said in a low voice, "Look, there is an isolation belt over there."
The isolation belt is a special kind of alien creature that can erect a translucent barrier where they need it, but this barrier only prevents humans from approaching, and the alien creatures pass through unimpeded, somewhat similar to The kind of enchantment often mentioned in fantasy novels.
In short, it is absolutely impossible to pass from above.
Not only the isolation belt, but also the patrols passing by at any time, and the closer to the zoo, the more alien tourists.
The two made a good note of the zoo's location, and when no one around was paying attention, they returned to the underground sewers again.
Qin Yi took out the lamp and turned it on, and Gong Xiao immediately stretched out his hand.
She handed him the lamp, and he took it and switched to the other hand. He stretched out his hand again, and his eyes curved into a beautiful arc.
Qin Yi laughed and stretched out his hand to hold him together.
