"Boom!"
The dense rain of biological bullets drowned the white figure with a whistling sound.
His health bar dropped rapidly, but then rose again when it was about to reach a certain point.
The giant angel spread out three pairs of hard wings and stood in front of the red light.
[Program Error], which was invincible in the face of most angels, returned empty-handed.
But the "biological health bar" that could only be seen by three pairs of eyes was still slowly decreasing.
More and more angels gathered around.
More and more prompts flooded into the panel.
The bio-energy pouring out of the more powerful angels was resisting his data invasion.
The torrential rain of bullets, enough to flatten a large area of the ground, began to create cracks in his white shell.
But You Huan did not choose to withdraw from this battle where he was fighting one against many.
In this world, with this body, he seldom engages in high-intensity battles with the enemy.
He needs such battles to test his algorithms, to streamline his programs, and to strengthen his abilities!
Unable to continue to assimilate goals with data gracefully.
The silvery-white claws tore apart the hard shell and flesh, and thick blood spurted out from the wound.
He faced the strong wind created by the angel, squinted his eyes slightly, and continued to "enjoy" the battle amid the splattering blood.
——Fighting, killing...
The screams of death and the voices begging for mercy.
The NPC's confusion, struggle, and cursing.
No, that's not an "NPC".
Those are real human beings...
While the battle between the angels and the attackers was going on, Maotuanzi Biejiao was recalling similar bloody scenes in his mind.
He had many times made NPCs die in different ways according to the requests of the barrage.
In order to achieve a mission objective, he massacred all the related camps one by one.
When driving a heavy truck on the road, he doesn't care if he knocks down a few NPCs.
That's because everything in the game is simulated, not real.
...He thought so.
Sighing silently, he looked at the overwhelming private messages such as [How do you feel about killing so many people], [You are considered a murderer now], [You are so awesome, Brother Mao, you killed so many real people].
He curled his lips and focused on the information he really cared about.
[At this moment, we at the "Research Group" can basically confirm that "Beyond the Ark" is indeed set in a real world. ]
[All members of our research group have voted to give up participating in this main mission. ]
"Brother Maoqiu!" At this time, a call from another player made him regain his attention.
He was now standing in an endless desert - of course, most of the surface was like this.
Facing the blazing heat, he squinted and watched his companions kneeling on the ground, carefully using the homemade props in their hands to open the ground.
——Yes, it means "open the ground", literally.
The originally ordinary-looking ground covered with yellow sand, like a hidden door, suddenly solidified and was lifted up by the player.
At the moment when the yellow sand solidified on his hands was lifted up, Maotuan saw clearly that the sand shook slightly, as if there was a bug in the loading of the picture.
Then he shifted his gaze to the bottom of the yellow sand.
The pupils are constricted.
What comes into view is a dark hole, which appears to be made of artificial steel.
Its shape was completely different from the underground network that Lingwei was currently building, and it seemed to lead to a deeper place.
The player who opened the ground swallowed and whispered, "Tell me, if I throw a stone in here, where will it fall?"
"..." Maotuan did not answer, but his mind emerged the cross-sectional diagram that "Shadow" had silently displayed when it appeared in the base earlier today.
Upper level, middle level, lower level.
Surface, city, core.
"...Ah." After a while, he quit the game and leaned back hard on the chair.
"Meow~"
A furry figure leaped onto him.
"Maomao." He reached out and stroked the long-haired cat's warm, living body, and his voice involuntarily became gentle.
He weighed it on his knees, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Maomao, you seem to have gained weight again. I must help you lose weight."
"Meow~" Maomao just stretched on his owner and then called loudly.
A smile appeared on his face, but when he saw the new private messages that continued to appear, his brows frowned again.
In addition to many private messages from strangers who were eager to watch the fun, his friends also sent messages one after another.
The content was pretty much the same, asking him whether he thought Beyond the Ark was real, and if so...
What will he do next? Will he participate in the main quest of the new version?
The rewards for the main quest this time are unprecedentedly luxurious. Even though many people think that this unusual reward is problematic, they are actively preparing to participate in the quest.
"…What is going on?" He looked at the message, rubbed his hair hard, and sighed with his head raised.
At this moment, a light screen prompt suddenly popped up in front of him:
[A new private task has been sent, do you want to accept it? ]
"Personal mission?" he muttered.
[Mission objective: Kill the leading NPC who planned the war. ]
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
[Mission Reward: Light Coin*50000000, 1 Legendary Weapon of Your Choice, 100% Intact Large Base Ruins*1]
"Fifty million real money, the highest-level, legendary weapons never seen before, and an entire large base. If I can complete it, all of them will belong to me. This is really a big deal..."
He stared at the contents on the light screen with wide eyes and sighed softly.
"Meow!" Maomao seemed very interested in the light screen floating in front of him. He shook his tail and jumped up to grab it.
The light screen flickered like water waves under the impact of the cat's claws, and then returned to calm.
"Maomao, don't move."
He pressed the cat's paw with his hand, and then said to the air in front of him: "Why do you do this? They are all real."
He just sighed casually without expecting anyone to respond.
But what surprised him was that after the light screen flickered slightly, a line of words appeared:
[Protect humanity.]
"ha?"
——"But, even though those people on the surface have mutated, they are still human physically and mentally. If we want to protect humans, shouldn't we include them as well?"
While Maotuanzi was expressing his doubts, in the Hope Base on the upper floor, Lingwei Weiwei also raised questions in response to the exact same words that popped up in the air.
[The concept of human beings here is limited to the middle-level and lower humans who have not suffered from large-scale radiation pollution. ]
[Surface human populations are not protected. ]
"this..."
Ling Wei lowered her eyes: "Then who are you who are protecting us?"
The light screen did not respond.
"…Rewards…are these all?"
[We can make some changes according to your requirements. ]
"…"
Lingwei tapped her fingers and brought up a real-time monitoring screen.
In a simple but warm room on the middle floor, a sickly-looking girl lay quietly on the bed.
Her eyes were closed, and her chest, covered with tubes from medical instruments, was rising and falling slowly and weakly.
As if she felt being watched, her eyelashes moved slightly and her eyes suddenly opened a little.
The glass-like eyes turned and looked in the direction of the surveillance camera in the room.
A faint smile appeared on her pale face. She looked in Ling Wei's direction and said softly with her mouth:
"Sister..."
"...I don't want money or a position, I just want medicine to cure my sister, is that ok?"
[Are you sure that the reward will be changed to: Powerful therapeutic drug for advanced genetic diseases? ]
"Knock knock." At this time, the door of the base office was knocked.
An NPC walked in.
The young man looked up at the figure in white gauze, the only "player" who was considered a good person by everyone.
He whispered seriously, "Sister Lingwei, everyone sent me to explain 'those things' to you. We are definitely not - Gah!"
The words stopped abruptly in the middle of a scream.
He widened his eyes and covered his throat, which was pierced by an arrow, in disbelief.
The blood gushed out uncontrollably, and he was like a goldfish that had come ashore. After his mouth opened and closed weakly several times, he slowly fell to the ground with a look of confusion and shock on his face.
"..." Lingwei put away the miniature crossbow in her sleeve and slowly stood up.
At the same time, in the middle level, Mao Tuanzi wrote a short sentence in the reply column with a serious expression:
[I will not participate in the main storyline this time. ]
