Fifty minutes after the invasion begins, the game space.

Mall, Area 101.

"Huh...haha...hahahaha..." Looking at the wreckage that turned into data fragments and dissipated in front of him, Atobe wiped the blood from his face, took a long breath, and laughed, "Finally...finally killed them all.

!Ha ha ha ha……"

Atobe's madman-like reaction was understandable, because he had just emerged from a fierce and suffocating battle.

In addition to him, the gods, Hong Ying, Jiang Hu, and the members of Order 2 who were also in the area also showed expressions of relief.

In the last nearly half an hour, the members of these first-class teams joined forces for the first time and worked hard to eliminate a total of five "giants".

This group of giants also has a specific name [Appropriator].

Different from ordinary redundant soldiers and scavengers... embezzlers are not a kind of native data soldiers, they are "combined" from other redundant soldiers.

Generally speaking, three hundred ordinary redundant soldiers need to be fused in data form to generate an embezzler.

The combat power of the invader is determined by the total strength of all redundant soldiers participating in the merger. If there are scavengers among the redundant soldiers participating in the merger...then their combat power will also be calculated.

To sum up, this is a very powerful data soldier and the ace unit of the redundant army.

Although the top players in Area 101 successfully eliminated five robbers, they also paid a heavy price.

The Ice Emperor's "Difficult to Name Trio" were the first to die in battle. They made great contributions during the battle against the first invader. It can be said that they took the risk to find out many of the invaders' secrets.

characteristics; and Hongying's Tie Haitang, Hyacinth, and the Brave Invincible, Brave Fearless, Ye Zhi of the Order 2 team, as well as Jianghu's Wu Swordsman, were all killed in the process of fighting the second and third invaders.

Kill.

At this point, the players have basically figured out how to deal with the embezzlers, and there are only two embezzlers left. Therefore, the subsequent battle is relatively simple.

Until all five robbers were killed, the death toll did not increase.

However, overall, the losses in this battle were quite serious. The only team whose main members were not damaged was the Gods Team (only four people came), while the other teams suffered varying degrees of losses.

"Oh...why can't I laugh at all..." Looking at the laughing Atobe, Barcode raised the sniper rifle in his hand, sat down on the ground, and let out a sigh.

The ace sniper of Order Studio is now the only surviving member of Order Team 2. His mood at the moment can only be described as lonely as snow...

"Thank you all for your hard work." Xiaowen Cangtian immediately turned around and looked at the non-professional players outside the battle circle and said, "Thank you."

He said this not to win people's hearts, but to express his sincere gratitude.

Just now, when their five strong professional teams joined hands to fight against the invaders, other players in area 101 spontaneously united to help them block the ordinary redundant soldiers and sweepers on the periphery, clearing their worries.

Without the assistance of these players, I am afraid that this battle will become more tragic... or even a disastrous defeat.

"Anyway, if you hadn't blocked those giants, we would have been in despair."

"Yes, we just tried our best to do what we could."

As soon as Xiaowen Cangtian finished speaking, Passerby A and Passerby B who were relatively close to him responded politely to the president of Jianghu on behalf of the general public.

At this time, the emotion of "fear" has basically disappeared from the hearts of the players, replaced by a sense of accomplishment in surviving the disaster...

Human beings are very adaptable animals, and fear is also something that can be adapted. For example... a horror movie can scare you once or twice, but when you watch the movie three times, it will scare you five times.

After you watch it a hundred times, or even ten times, the feeling of fear will fade away; and after you watch it a hundred times, the fear will completely disappear... because by the time you watch it the hundred and first time, you have already

It is very clear what will happen in every second, that is to say... the "unknown" becomes the "known"; without the "unknown", there is no fear; this... is adaptation.

In the same way, when faced with a sudden crisis, people's psychological reactions are the same... Fear will make people feel stunned and at a loss. At this time, "instinct" will replace "thinking" and take over people's behavior.

Instinct is a valuable asset acquired by organisms during the process of evolution, and is one of the guarantees for species to survive and reproduce. Most organisms in the food chain have similar reaction processes of running away, hiding, and waiting when encountering unknown dangers.

, test...

Human beings are no exception.

The development of science and technology and the maturity of cognition have not changed our instincts much, but fortunately, as a highly intelligent creature, humans can overcome their instincts through training.

In a critical situation, individuals who have more "overcoming experience" of fear will adapt to the situation faster than other individuals. It only takes a short time for them to return "thinking" to the high ground occupied by "instinct".

And played a very good leading role. (ps: Feng Bujue should be excluded from this type of people, because the high ground in his mind has been occupied by "thinking" for a long time, and "instinct" can only be found on the mountainside.

standby)

As long as there is a small group of people, or even one person, who can quickly make correct responses based on thinking, they will have the opportunity to affect all similar people around them. Because... "imitation" is also an important part of human adaptability.

After seeing someone of the same kind do something and be safe, people's fear of the matter will be reduced, and they will feel that... they can also accomplish it to some extent.

The battle situation in Area 101 is roughly like this... Under the leadership of a few elite players, ordinary players quickly put their fears behind and participated in the battle.

Faced with a desperate battle situation, no one gave up and no one ran away; in the end, they succeeded in wiping out all the derivatives that invaded this place.

…………

It is worth mentioning that...in this battle, two groups of people played particularly crucial roles.

The first group is the organization "Shang no Guards" wearing long white windbreakers with the word "Shang" written in blood on the back; and the other group is wearing long blue windbreakers with the word "Shang" written in blood on the back.

The organization with the word "shang" is "Xu Huaishang Official Fan Group".

The nature of these two teams is very obvious, and there is not much to introduce... Among the large group of non-professional players, these two groups of people are simply like death squads. After the first appropriator appeared, most of them were ordinary players.

The players all flinched. Only these two groups... were completely unmoved. They stayed behind the five strong teams (actually just Benizakura's team) from beginning to end, determined to fight to the end.

No matter what the motivation was, their actions truly inspired the passers-by and players around them, and their "death-like" attitude also aroused the momentum of the crowd. They were able to maintain the nearly collapsed front.

I have to say... the victory in this battle was due to a certain female player...

…………

All in all, after an extraordinary fierce battle, this area finally returned to peace.

The safety at this moment is undoubtedly the result of the joint efforts of everyone present.

For those passerby players, they feel at this moment... like a group of new recruits who have just participated in the first battle. Just surviving is enough to make a big change in their mentality. When facing similar situations in the future,

They will "adapt" faster.

In reality, the difference between experienced veterans and new recruits is roughly the same... It is this kind of "adaptability" that determines whether you will be confused or violent in an unexpected situation, believe me... in most cases

The confused one will die.

"Then the question comes..." After a moment of silence, Shiva looked at the people around him and said, "...is this over?"

As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look at the boundary of the area. At this time, in addition to the dome of this mall, even the walls next to it were torn apart with huge space cracks. Even from a distance, the data optical flow could be clearly seen.

Composed of distorted space-time.

"When the third, fourth, and fifth giants came in... they destroyed most of the outer walls of the area, and the elevator doors leading to the login space were also destroyed. How should we go back?" Shiva

Read the Tao.

"Anyway, forced retreat is still not possible." Da Brahma quickly replied, "I tried it just now."

"Well... and those players who have died are still unreachable." Black and White and Hui also touched their chin and thought.

"Could it be..." At this moment, a very bad idea flashed through Xu Huaishang's mind, "...the system wants us to kill each other until the last person is left?"

Her words made everyone present take a breath.

Fortunately, the change that occurred in the next second... negated her hypothesis.

At that moment, a strange sound rang in the ears of all players, and their eyes were covered by white light.

The next physical sensation is similar to teleportation, but slightly different... but the players can't tell the specific difference.

About five seconds later, when the players regained their senses, they had arrived in a brand new space.

This is not a shopping mall, but a white, boundless world.

The sky and the earth in front of you are the same pure white color. The entire sky is like an unreachable ceiling, emitting moderate light. On the white earth, there are many scenery of different sizes... There are tall buildings and trees.

Forests, mountains, flowing water, etc., these scenes are all pure white, with only outlines and no details, and some of them stand there like simple giant geometric building blocks.

In addition to these "big scenes", there are many relatively small things in this space, such as cars, street light poles, carousels, dressing tables, bathtubs... These countless objects are also white outlines.

, and there is no pattern to follow in terms of types, as if they were randomly selected from the encyclopedia and scattered evenly on the white earth.

"Eh? Isn't that the Chief Controller of Heaven and Earth?"

"Yes, there is also heartbreak fruit."

"Isn't that the autumn wind of mountains and rivers?"

"Hey! Those over there are the Four Heavenly Kings of Gods!"

"Eh? Are you not afraid of Jianghu's madness? Jian Ying and Cai Cai were in the same area as us just now?"

"Wow! I saw Goddess Xu. Am I dead? Is this heaven?"

Soon after the transfer ended, the players discovered a situation... It seemed that all the survivors from various mall areas were sent to this strange space.

Just when the players were still confused, suddenly...

Boom boom boom

Rhythmic, heavy footsteps came from all directions, and the ground beneath the players' feet also trembled.

"What's going on? Are there still giants?"
To be continued...
