Meanwhile.

Juberley Hub, once the temporary stronghold of the Black Star Mercenary Regiment.

Dozens of glimmers flashed, and the professional players who followed Han Xiao appeared one after another, it was Crazy Knife, Haotian, Meat Bao and others, who were all offline here when the version was updated.

The habit of playing high is to open the panel as soon as possible to check the changes of the version, as a professional player, the most concerned about personal attributes, equipment and other practical factors.

After confirming that the level limit had been raised, everyone looked at each other, then looked around, and was stunned for a moment.

The colony was empty, only the monotonous lights were lonely, and the metal walls and floor reflected a faint white light, although the entire colony was spotless due to the cleaning equipment, but the open doors and silent atmosphere were enough to make the player realize that the colony had been uninhabited for a long time.

Everything in every room was gone, including Blackstar's private warehouse and mechanical modification room, and if it weren't for the fact that the furniture was gone, they would have thought the stronghold had been burglarized.

"Why is there no one, what about my Black Star?" Madknife wondered.

"I don't know how long time has passed, it looks like they're no longer here." Haotian said in a deep voice.

"It's also possible that they're all dead." The song was silent, attracting everyone's angry eyes, but there was a historical reason for him to think so, and he remembered that the guild under their temple club encountered a cup that was bulldozed at the location of the mission release during the closed beta.

"It's stupid, just look at the camp information." Feng Yue glanced at them, as a member of the mercenary group, he could check the basic information of the camp, so as to know the situation of the Black Star mercenary group, and there was no need to guess at all.

However, players don't know that they can see the camp information because Han Xiao deliberately added this information to the camp interface, in order to let players know the promotion of the mercenary group at a glance and use it to enhance the sense of belonging.

Open the interface of the mercenary group, the information jumps into view, and the players are surprised.

"There are more people in the camp, there are more than 400 people, and there are more hired people...... Oh, take a quick look at the evaluation, it says that the base of the Black Star Mercenary Group at this time is located in Kinmen Star, and it turns out that the Mercenary Group has moved...... But where is the Golden Gate Star? "Crazy Knife Road.

"It's not over yet, look at this deed, Blackstar actually killed a cataclysmic superpower in Norrios! , it's so powerful......" Meat Bun was about to exclaim, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Wait, what level is the natural disaster?" ”

At this time, players don't know that the A-class alias is called Scourge, and they haven't heard of it...... But it feels like a good dick.

Anyway, the power above the C rank, players can only look up to now.

This group of high-level players was a little stunned - what happened to the Black Star Mercenary Group when they were not there?

At this moment, the doorbell of the stronghold rang suddenly, and the high players were startled, and before they could react, Tai Erzi had already given up thinking and opened the door directly, and there was a triangular snake-headed man standing outside the door.

"Are you members of the Black Star Mercenary Regiment?" The snake man asked.

The crowd looked at each other, and then nodded their heads.

"I am a captain of the Crown Tours, and Your Excellency Blackstar has instructed me to send you to the Blue Star." The snake man spat out the letter, "Please come with me." ”

Hearing this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on everyone's faces, they didn't expect Black Star to send a special boat to pick them up, is there such a row!

……

The catastrophe of alienation has brought about a drastic change in the global landscape, with the rule of the Six Nations nearly collapsing, much of the country thrown into chaos, and the government losing control.

Because the alienation virus makes everyone have the chance to get sick, and the same is true for public officials, and the organs at all levels are paralyzed, and if a regime loses the people who work for it, it is equivalent to losing all its power, and it exists in name only, and the six countries are sliding into this abyss.

There are many factors, such as law enforcement agencies, the military, the economic system, cultural traditions, moral concepts, mainstream values, etc., all in order to let people understand the fate of violating the rules, so as to self-restrain behavior, but the alienation virus destroys people's normal logic and fear, when they do not consider the consequences at all, these factors lose their effect, and the seemingly unbreakable order has become fragile porcelain overnight.

Chaos.

This is the most apt definition of today's social landscape.

Unable to trust any living being, only cold machinery is the only thing that can be trusted.

After the outbreak of the catastrophe, the regimes of the six countries abandoned their previous suspicions, and in the face of the disaster, their respective interests were no longer important, and there was no other choice but to join forces, at this time the senior leaders of the six countries were conducting video conferences.

"As early as twenty days ago, we jointly applied to Godora's civilization for assistance, and Godora said to come as soon as possible, but it's been so long, and they haven't shown up yet!"

The disaster of alienation is like a fierce woman in chastity pants, no matter what, she can't pry open the door, and the six countries know that the catastrophe cannot be solved with the level of sea blue star's science and technology, and no means can take effect, so they report the disaster situation, and the six countries have channels to contact Godora, hoping that a higher civilization will save them.

However, until now, no spaceship has arrived, which makes the high-level leaders of the six countries anxious, constantly urging, and always getting only formulaic answers from artificial intelligence.

In fact, the six countries don't know that the place where the alienation disaster broke out is not only the sea blue star, but also the Garden galaxy is blooming everywhere, competing for beauty, and Godora's side is also in a hurry, with a confused face. Han Xiao hadn't revealed that this was a conspiracy of the dark star, so Godoramon was in the dark, and the level of attention was not raised to a very high level.

"It's not up to us when Godora arrives, and now there's a new situation, not long ago, the Inhumans who had disappeared for more than a year reappeared."

"It's too coincidental, maybe they brought the alienation virus!" Someone said angrily.

The Six Nations have always been suspicious of the cause of the aliens, who are not of our race, and prejudice and discrimination have never disappeared.

"Anyway, most of the Inhumans are superpowers, they may be able to help, no matter who it is, I just want to wake up from this nightmare as soon as possible, and in this situation, I don't even dare to meet my wife, for fear that I won't be able to control myself and hurt her one day." An official grimaced.

"Although Bennett has announced the formula of the inhibitor to the world, only the Third Vault can produce it stably, and he said that he can't get more potions for us, I don't believe it, they must have more inhibitors hidden."

As soon as these words came out, the current leaders of the six countries were silent, and they all knew that everyone in the room coveted the inhibitor.

When a catastrophe happens, and you have the only thing in your hands to resist it, then the significance of this thing is more than its own effect, in order to suppress it, everyone can only be obedient, even if Bennett has no other thoughts, at this time the third vault has become the center of the world, and countless people are rushing there.

The six countries really want to control the suppression, so as to unite the people and restore the collapsed regime, but if they snatch it, the situation that the world has managed to adapt to will be broken again, which will cause greater risks, and if you are not careful, it may cause irreparable consequences, and the consolidation of power is more important than the survival of the entire civilization?

Some people can't convince themselves, some people can, but no matter which faction they are, their ideas are not so firm and they swing between the two.

"If you really want to do it, it's best to ...... it as soon as possible," Ruilan's leader said in a deep voice, "Time waits for no one. ”

……

Two days flew by.

Hundreds of thousands of players stay in the Third Vault to adapt to the new version and participate in the main quest.

Although the number of players is large, the shelter at this time has almost endless tasks, and the most rewards are naturally the official tasks released by Bennett, which are limited in number every day, and other tasks are triggered by different characters, and the countless refugees stranded outside the shelter have various requests and can't do it, these heavy and boring jobs in the eyes of others, the players do it with taste, serious attitude, and enthusiasm for work, all of them are like model pacesetters of good citizens, but they make the guards of the shelter itself ashamed.

The reward for most of these tasks is to obtain the progress of [Scourge of Alienation], after two days of action by all players in Aquamarine, the total progress reaches 73, which should be more, but every day the damage caused by the Scourge of Alienation will reduce a part of the total progress, and players must always accumulate progress, otherwise they will retreat if they don't advance.

Although the principle of the alienation virus is not clear, the player can not care about this, as long as there is a task to guide them, they will be done.

Since version 2.0 will enter the interstellar, players know that this main line is only the first big plot of the opening of the new version, not all, players on other planets are basically the same experience, the opening is a crisis, but the events are different, the frost winter star is the funniest, as a garrison planet of the extinguishing legion, it was actually sent to crusade, how infuriating.

In contrast, Aquamarine players can enter the main story the fastest, but the specific situation is very different from the previous life.

The level of activity of the forum is the same as before the update, and it is even hotter, with the opening of the new version, many players are sharing information, and the speed of post refresh is very fast.

Bennett stood on the city wall and looked down at the lively and noisy shelter, hundreds of thousands of strange people were everywhere, solving the urgent need for manpower, seeing this scene, his brow couldn't help but relax a little.

"Fortunately, with the help of this group of strangers, I didn't expect the influence left by the black ghost to still protect us." Bennett sighed, his tone complicated.

Behind him, Hela leaned against the wall, expressionless, silently looking out of the city at the end of the camp.

"Ahhh

Suddenly, the camp erupted in strange screams, and countless people fell ill at the same time without warning—this is the terrible thing about the alienation virus, which can break out at any time.

The camp was in chaos as millions of sick people fought and fought in a red-eyed manner, with a deafening mix of noisy sounds and rumbling sounds.

The few refugees who did not fall ill sat down trembling with fear, and the guards on the walls of the shelter were stunned.

Bennett's face changed suddenly, his hands gripped the battlement, and the concrete was pinched out of his fingerprints.

"With so many people gathered here, once the collective onset of the disease, the consequences are very serious, and by the time the symptoms subside naturally, the death toll may have already exceeded one million!"

Many players stopped the task at hand, this was the first time they saw the situation of a group illness, and in shock, someone turned on the video recording function.

They had seen scenes of war, but this was the first time they had seen a mass fight of millions of people, and the refugees hardly used weapons, only fists and teeth to fight hand-to-hand, like wild beasts, extremely savage and bloody.

"It must be stopped, otherwise many people will die, let our people act, and knock all the sick people unconscious!"

Bennett immediately ordered that every infected person had a chance to be saved, and with so many people killing each other in front of his eyes, he couldn't sit idly by.

Rumble –

At this moment, there was a vibration sound in the distance, which became louder and louder, and as far as the eye could see, I saw countless beasts rushing towards them, mighty and mighty.

The beasts of the sea blue star are also infected by the alienation virus, the wild environment is very dangerous, but now it has become more difficult to survive, and unlike the human state, although the beasts are violent, they will form a group, act in groups, sometimes fight each other, sometimes impact the city.

The beasts rushed to the edge of the camp, and the massacre broke out, and the refugees were bitten and trampled by the wild beasts, their bodies were torn apart, the scene was bloody, and the corpses were bloody, and this feeling was like a heavy cavalry array rushing into the unarmed crowd to kill and kill.

Syllable.

Bennett crushed a piece of wall stack and said angrily: "Oh no, there are beasts at this time, hurry up and save people, if you leave it alone, all the refugees will die!" ”

At this time, the player's task list changed, and the total progress of [Scourge of Alienation] began to plummet, and in a blink of an eye, it was missing 1 point, and everyone triggered an emergency collective task at the same time, requiring that the refugees outside the city be saved as much as possible, rewarding 5~20 total progress, and the fewer people who died, the higher the reward.

However, the speed of progress loss is extremely fast, and if you don't save people quickly, I'm afraid that most of the accumulation in these two days will be buried.

"Hurry up and get out of the city to save people!"

"If you want to form a team, anyone can do it, just ask for a full number of people!"

The hundreds of thousands of players in the shelter immediately panicked and hurriedly took action, going out of the city to rescue the fighting refugees, knocking the sick people unconscious, and sending them to the shelter.

In addition to the rescue team, Bennett asked some players to delay the pace of the herd, the number of beasts is huge, at least more than 300,000 heads, and it will not be able to kill them for a while and a half, so they can only delay and try to rescue as many refugees as possible.

Hela had already slaughtered into the herd, the dark red energy was unleashed, one after another three or four meters tall beasts died in her hands, and the surrounding players were also fighting with the herd, and the beast's blood splashed her all over her body, fighting bloodily.

Killing was what she did best, and fighting had long been ingrained in her bones, as accustomed to eating and breathing, but this battle had made her feel very complicated - once an indiscriminate executioner, this was the first time she had fought to save an unrelated stranger, and she felt awkward.

Rumble –

The scene is chaotic, the refugee camp area is sandwiched in the middle, one end is the herd of beasts advancing, with heavy casualties, and the other end is the player rescuing people, both sides are marching towards the middle of the area at the same time, encroaching from both ends, and the sick refugees do not know how to escape, they are still killing each other, and the chaos is in chaos!

There was chaos, and even with Bennett's strength, he felt dazzled, sweated in his palms, and stared nervously at the situation.

"There are too many beasts, and the attack frequency is at least four times a second, and they can't bear the damage at all!"

"Damn, my mentality collapsed, I was crushed by a butt!"

"There are gaps everywhere, and I can't stop them at all!"

Players who resist the herd of beasts are powerless, and people keep hanging up, although they can be resurrected, they still have to run out of the shelter, delaying time, and the most lacking thing is time, every second, the total progress is falling rapidly, and the player is very anxious.

Phew-

Just when the situation was falling, a piercing scream suddenly came from the sky, even in a chaotic and noisy environment, this sound still clearly reached everyone's ears, and countless eyes subconsciously looked towards the sky.

I saw hundreds of egg-shaped metal pods falling from the sky, shrouded in flames that burned through the atmosphere, like hundreds of meteors, and fell to the ground in front of the gate of the shelter.

Bang bang bang!!

The metal cabins landed one after another, smashing out cracks all over the ground, the momentum was eye-catching, and the next moment, the hatch bounced open with a snort, and every metal cabin walked out of the people.

This group of people were all wearing armor, holding weapons, and dressed in a variety of styles, obviously aliens who did not belong to the sea blue star, and everyone gathered with curiosity and surprise, and immediately understood that these metal eggs were airdrop pods.

These uninvited guests are warriors from the stars!

Just when everyone was about to wonder about the meaning of this group of interstellar people, one of the masked black-clothed men who seemed to be the leader waved his hand, and hundreds of interstellar soldiers acted at the same time, rushing towards the herd.

Boom Boom Boom –

The Space Marines burst out with powerful combat power and immediately took over the battle, as if the unstoppable beasts had hit an iron wall, and they were all stopped!

Just a few hundred people play a far more role than the tens of thousands of players around them!

Hela's eyes flashed with horror, she was on the battlefield, and she had the deepest experience, almost all of the Space Marines put more pressure on her than Bennett, and Bennett was basically the strongest person in Aqua Blue Star at the moment.

It means that these Space Marines, any one of them is stronger than Bennett!

With the intervention of unknown reinforcements, the crisis was alleviated, and only the masked man in black remained at the gate without action, Bennett jumped off the city wall, came to the masked man, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" Where did it come from? Why help us? ”

Bennett had seen the captured Godora investigators before, so seeing the aliens at this time was not enough to lose his mind.

But in the next second, his calm expression, which he barely maintained, instantly turned into consternation.

"Long time no see, Bennett, why are you so surprised, what, do you think I'm not going to come back?"

Han Xiao raised his hand and slowly took off his mask, revealing his face, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a chuckle, feeling that he was very handsome.

Bennett froze, unable to believe what he was seeing, and his lips trembled, his expression of shock quickly turning to ecstasy.

Hela's eyes widened sharply in the distance.

The moment Han Xiao took off his mask, almost every player was stunned, and then, a sense of joy at reunion after a long absence arose, and morale skyrocketed, this familiar figure was like a heart booster, injecting hot blood into all the players present, so excited that their scalps began to tingle, their tails tightened, and their hearts were surging!

"It's him! Blackstar is back!! ”
