Chapter 176 Destruction

call--

The air suddenly swirled, and a figure flashed out of the void. As soon as it landed, it glanced around cautiously.

This is an extremely bustling and lively modern urban neighborhood.

Flat and spacious roads, towering dense high-rise buildings, a large number of dazzling neon light tube advertisements, pedestrians and traffic, the atmosphere of commerce and prosperity can be felt in almost every corner.

This is Times Square in Manhattan, New York, known as the "Crossroads of the World."

The figure that suddenly appeared was a white man with black hair. He was about thirty years old. He was wearing a crisp suit, trousers, and a white shirt.

His appearance is tough and handsome, with a high nose bridge, thin lips as thin as a knife, and slightly melancholy and deep green eyes. He looks like a male model pulled from the cover of a fashion magazine or a model catwalk.

Of course, he is not a star, but an agent of the FBI's Unusual Incidents Division named AIM.

In the real world, his name is Jacob Griffin. He was born into a family of New York bankers. He received an excellent education since childhood and studied psychology at an Ivy League school. He was later recruited into the FBI's Criminal Investigation Department and joined the cutting-edge hostage rescue team. team, serving as negotiators.

It can be said that AIM was the undoubted elite before the arrival of the killing game.

And after the killing game was launched, he also became a player immediately.

Relying on his past experience as an FBI agent, he successfully survived the novice period when the mortality rate was extremely high, and was promoted smoothly along the way.

Before the battle for the door began, he was ranked 29th on the global combat power rankings, second only to David in the FBI.

Although in the battle for doors, AIM was not very lucky. Not long after the start, it ran into the demon general of the Demon Sun World and exited early, failing to win more doors for the FBI.

However, this does not affect his personal strength. He is still one of the players at the top of the earth's food chain...

boom!

AIM suddenly clenched his fists, making a squeezing sound, and the expression on his face looked extremely solemn and deep.

The mechanical and cold voice of Sky Arena still echoed in his ears.

Single player deathmatch,

Contestants, authentic good supermarkets, authentic good clinics...

Of course AIM knows who that is,

Li Risheng, an outstanding student of the former Yin City Experimental Middle School, the owner of the Wugou Furnace store in the Game Plaza, the demon slayer, the mastermind behind the battle for the door, and the titan demigod who almost destroyed half of Yin City with his own power. The default natural disaster level existence of all guild organizations...

Before the battle for the door, all organizations and guilds regarded Li Risheng as a player who specializes in scenario mission strategy and has several logistical capabilities.

Although his personal strength is good, he is still far from being able to join the first echelon.

Later, however, they were proven wrong.

Through various plans behind the scenes, Li Risheng won one of the highest-level rewards in the battle for the door, and his true strength when he surfaced also stunned everyone.

All the information about Li Risheng flashed through AIM's mind.

The Unusual Incident Division of the FBI has its own channels. The information includes not only detailed battle reports and analysis of the past Battle of Yin City, but also Li Risheng's performance in the Mutation of King Shibi after the Battle of Yin City.

Even the most recent one is Li Risheng’s record in the script world of the deep sea monster.

Almost impossible to defeat.

A clear and accurate answer emerged from the bottom of AIM's heart.

The more players are at the top of the killing game, the more self-aware they are of themselves.

Li Risheng in the demigod titan state is really too strong, with destructive power capable of destroying cities, not to mention that he also has the ability to teleport ultra-long distance, extremely complete functions, and an energy level that is absolutely not weak to psychic powers. able..

AIM's mind continued to function, and the passage of time around him seemed to have been slowed down a lot.

Each player needs to complete ten games in the rematch of the Battle of Command, and their performance in the ten games will be used to decide whether to advance to the finals.

Today is the second game. Logically speaking, AIM, which was ranked 29th in the power rankings before the battle, has a high probability of qualifying.

Even if he surrenders directly now, he can still improve his rating in the next eight games - the FBI and Li Risheng are not close friends, and it is completely impossible for the other party to compete happily with him. What kind of activities are you doing to get points?

Surrendering now is a good option - anyway, there are no traces of Li Risheng around for the time being.

Just when AIM's brain was racing and hesitating whether to surrender directly and withdraw from the competition to reduce losses,

The mechanical sound that continued to sound in the sky arena made his eyes suddenly shine with light.

[Currently, single-player deathmatch limited condition mode]

[Limited condition mode means that the Sky Arena issues task requirements to players on both sides. Players on both sides receive different mission requirements. If you complete it first or have a higher completion rate than your opponent within the specified time, you will be considered the winner]

Limited deathmatch!

AIM cheered up, so there was still room for maneuver.

As a senior executive of the Unusual Incident Department, he has seen a large number of killing game mission cases.

Among them, limited death match is a special one.

In addition to directly winning by killing their opponents, players on both sides can also compare the progress of both sides in performing special tasks to save the country and win.

For example, the two sides compare their cooking skills to see who can make more delicious food;

The two sides wander around a haunted abandoned hospital to see who can stay in the haunted hospital longer without escaping early;

Or the most classic one, one party sticks to its stronghold and protects the hostages,

The other side is trying every means to kidnap or kill hostages.

Limited deathmatch not only provides a new way to win, but also improves the survival rate of individual weak players facing powerful extraordinary beings.

Especially those with special talents, such as those with outstanding resourcefulness, or players who specialize in logistics or charm, often prefer that they can receive limited deathmatch missions, which will help them develop their strengths.

AIM calmed down and put aside the idea of ​​surrendering and withdrawing for the time being.

"Things may turn around..."

AIM thought silently, but the next second, he was shocked.

[Mission briefing: Your opponent’s mission goal is “kill as many planet residents as possible”, and your goal is “protect as many planet residents as possible”. If more than 500 million planet residents die within 18 hours due to the activities of both parties, you will fail]

[Your opponent will be teleported into the current world in 3 hours, and you can make layouts during this period]

【Good luck】

"hiss--"

The handsome AIM took a breath regardless of his image.

Is this killing game crazy? !

It actually takes "100 million" planet residents as a mission condition?

Or am I crazy? !

AIM's mind was spinning with thoughts, and the next moment, the professionalism of a high-level player forced him to calm down.

Calm down and think.

AIM pursed her lips. No, the mission conditions proposed by Killing Fields Game are not completely unreasonable.

Limited death matches often occur between two players whose individual strengths are quite different. He and Li Risheng fit the situation perfectly.

And the three hours of preparation and layout time is relatively reasonable.

This is the mission goal...

AIM frowned suddenly, and the spiritual thoughts he sent out were also responded to.

Something is wrong here.

He looked around. This was the famous Times Square in New York City, where AIM often went before becoming a player.

The most eye-catching advertising screen of the Nasdaq exchange in the world, Broadway, the center of the National Opera House...everything is as usual, except for the pedestrians, which seem so strange.

Among the crowds of people around, whether they are handsome men and women in smart clothes, artists in strange clothes, or homeless people in ragged clothes,

Their eyes are all bright red, and their foreheads are generally high and hairless.

At the same time, their movements also seemed a little unnatural, not like normal life, but like... they were pretending.

AIM made a decision immediately, he opened his palm,

A group of pedestrians who were about to cross the road came over immediately, while the surrounding crowd, under the influence of extraordinary power, turned a blind eye to this strange phenomenon.

AIM looked at the group of pedestrians standing in front of him, frowned, raised his palm, pressed on the forehead of one of them, and silently released an advanced detection skill called [Information Extraction].

This skill is a special inheritance of the FBI. It can not only scan the physical condition of ordinary people, but also read the other person's memory and even information about events that have happened around them.

For example, if you unleash this skill on an American restaurant chef, you can learn what dishes he has cooked recently, which customers he likes or dislikes, his personal views on the restaurant owner, his concerns about the American election, and his perception of the way American society operates, etc. information.

[Information acquisition] is more than enough to help FBI agents obtain enough world background in script tasks at the first time, and modern times are no exception.

"..."

AIM silently removed his palm and continued to reach out to the second person in the crowd, followed by the third and fourth person.

Soon, he had all the information he wanted.

At this moment, the intelligent creatures living on this planet are not humans.

They are a special species called brain-eating bugs.

Forty years ago in this world, a group of American scientific expedition teams conducting scientific research in Siberia dug out a mammoth carcass that had been frozen for millions of years in the ice field and brought it back to American University.

During this process, the box in which the frozen mammoth carcass was stored malfunctioned. As the body heated up, it also awakened the ancient parasites hidden in the remains.

This species, called brain-eating worms, are multicellular organisms that are much smaller than fleas and lice and can be transmitted through contact. When they come into contact with the human body, they will enter the human brain silently through the mouth, nose, ears and other organs.

Reproduce, hollow out and even replace human brains.

God knows how the ancient brain-eating insects did this, but what is known is that the parasitized humans can't see any difference in appearance, and their daily behaviors are normal.

Moreover, the reproduction and spread of ancient brain-eating insects far exceeded imagination.

Handshakes, hugs, drinking water, sneeze droplets, blood transfusions, birds and mice...

All contact methods can serve as a platform for the spread of ancient brain-eating insects.

What’s even more frightening is that the ancient brain-eating insects seem to have some kind of collective intelligence.

They know the existence of modern medicine and will first target medical staff and even medical students with medical knowledge in an area, then staff of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, then politicians and bureaucrats, and then ordinary people. ..

The ancient brain-eating insect group spread quietly and secretly,

In this process, some ordinary people who vaguely discover abnormalities, such as reporters or bureaucrats, will be discovered by the ubiquitous brain-eating parasites and either eliminated or assimilated.

Soon, ancient brain-eating insects spread all over the world, assimilating and eroding the vast majority of the population.

The few remaining people finally reacted and tried to take up arms to resist.

However, it was still too late. The brain-eating insect tribe, which had completely controlled the social order, suppressed the pure human rebellion and completely wiped out this race.

Today, only the brain-eating worm population is left on the earth.

Their eyes are blood red, and they gradually look more like insects. They have even modified human reproduction methods, becoming wet-laying eggs that can hatch hundreds or thousands of eggs at a time.

They call themselves "New Bug People", enjoying all the conveniences of human civilization, and continue to climb on the basis of the human technology tree to develop their own science.

According to some new insect experts and scholars, the brain-eating insect population is likely to come from outside the sky - an unknown alien civilization has made the gene seeds of its own group into cannonballs, stuffed them into rockets, and sent them to the digital world. Millions of planets are launched.

When encountering an intelligent civilization, these gene seeds will hatch and parasitize the intelligent civilization to strengthen the insect population in the interstellar world.

Just like that movie called Alien.

AIM read these materials with a depressed mood. In his heart, there was a small amount of sadness and anger - the sadness and anger of the pure human beings in this world being completely replaced by the new insectoids.

But more than anything, it was fear and worry.

The new bug people are not human beings anyway. They are just parasites that eat up human civilization and enjoy the convenience of human civilization.

This also means a worse situation.

The FBI has installed an entire database for Li Risheng. In the estimation of the database think tank, he has extremely obvious moral deviations.

He will protect the weak and will not despise ordinary people because he possesses extraordinary power, treating ordinary people as insignificant dust.

He will even respect the mortals in the script world in some script missions - this kind of behavior is considered moral even among the entire Killing Fields game player camp.

But on the other hand, he also sneered at certain morals in the world and showed obvious disdain.

Cynical, contemptuous of authority, arrogant,

This kind of psychological model will lead to him facing evil in his eyes.

It declined rapidly and became bottomless. It seems to be a bad idea, but in fact it is cold and indifferent.

In some cases, Li Risheng was cruel and callous.

AIM silently withdrew the palm that was pressing on the new Bugman's forehead. He looked around at the familiar New York City scene, passing the clock on the giant advertising screen from the corner of his eyes, and took a deep breath.

Countdown to two hours and fifty minutes.

This time, it's really going to be the end of the world.
