Chapter 257 Self-defeating, the catastrophe begins
Tang Zhen was sitting on the top of the high building of the base, looking at the commotion outside, and gunshots could be heard from time to time.
During the day, gunshots rarely sounded inside the Grave City, otherwise they would be investigated and interrogated by patrols.
If you violate the rules, you may be severely punished.
But it's different today. In order to capture the Famen Walkers, firearms will inevitably be used.
The firecracker-like gunshots were enough to prove the intensity of the battle.
In fact, in many cases, extraordinary abilities are not as useful as guns, and awakened people prefer to use guns to kill enemies.
For ordinary people, firearms are equivalent to low-end versions of magic weapons, which can be used for long-range attacks and have fatal killing effects.
The current Tomb City is a hunting ground, and the Famen Walkers are the prey being hunted and fought over, being dug up and down to find them.
Tang Zhen used money as weapons and tried to kill all the Famen followers so that they would not continue to cause trouble and harm others.
Regardless of the awakened person or the player, they all can’t wait to participate, just to get the generous bounty.
If anyone looks suspicious, they will immediately come forward to check and make sure there are no problems before letting the person go.
Especially the guy wearing a hat and covering his head and face has become a key target of suspicion.
The practitioners of Famen all have bald heads and tattoos of scriptures on their chests and backs. It is not easy to cover them up successfully.
No matter how clever the disguise is, there will still be some flaws.
Awakened people have keen perceptions and can easily identify if there is a real problem.
It is simply impossible for the Famen Walker to hide.
In a short period of time, dozens of Famen Walkers were arrested, and the rest went into hiding.
There are also some Famen Walkers who run to other cities through teleportation vortexes, so that they can effectively avoid pursuit.
This method is indeed effective, and many people give up the pursuit, allowing those who follow the path to escape with their lives.
Although his life was temporarily saved, trouble followed. The energy concentration in other places was far less than that in Tomb City, which would inevitably have an impact on the improvement of his strength.
It won't be long before their cultivation will continue to decline and their extraordinary power will gradually disappear.
Just like a fully inflated tire, as time goes by, air leakage will occur.
If the air cannot be replenished in time, the tire will dry out.
The same is true for the awakened ones. If they leave the Tomb City for too long, they will eventually become ordinary people.
The system has always hated those who prostitute energy for free, so it is naturally impossible to leave such an obvious loophole.
No matter how dangerous the awakened person is, as long as they leave the Tomb City, their danger will be reduced exponentially.
Of course, we cannot relax our vigilance. If these guys get a nuclear bomb again and try to detonate it, they must find every way to kill it and stop it.
During the process of arresting Famen Walker, he also discovered the lair where the opponents gathered, destroyed the statue of the Angry-eyed Vajrasattva, and then used bombs to destroy the entire basement.
In just one day, a Famen organization that had been established in Tomb City recently and had caused major events was eliminated.
Of the nearly two hundred awakened people, more than half were killed and their heads were sent to Base No. 1 in exchange for money.
It was much more difficult to capture alive than to kill him, and everyone understood Tang Zhen's hint, so very few Famen practitioners were captured alive.
After this incident happened, it was a wake-up call for other Famen organizations. They must be measured when doing things, and they must not commit suicide randomly.
Influenced by Famen's exercises, many awakened people established organizations and schools, some preaching openly, while others communicated secretly.
The Angry-Eye Vajra that Famen practitioners believe in is just one branch of the Three Thousand Schools. Unless you are knowledgeable enough or happen to know something about it, you may not even know about the existence of this school.
There are more than a hundred awakened people who believe in the Angry-Eye King Kong. It is obviously a deliberate move by the system and intends to use this group of guys as tools.
Wait until the dirty work is done and then find a way to clean it up so your reputation won't be tarnished.
The system, despite all its calculations, never imagined that this group of guys would be so reckless as to destroy Base No. 1 with a nuclear bomb.
If it can be successfully destroyed, it would be a good thing. Although the player can be reborn, he needs to level up from scratch.
It can be of great help to the planning of the system, after all, this is what it was originally intended to do.
But he didn't expect this bunch of idiots to detonate a nuclear bomb in the cemetery, completely disrupting the system's plan.
The next development of the situation is no longer within the control of the system, and it even needs to find ways to resolve it.
It can be said that the previous system was always playing with fire, and now it has finally burned itself.
It's more like walking on thin ice, but accidentally falling into an ice cave, and now struggling in deep water.
It would be great if you could climb ashore, but if you couldn't, you would probably drown yourself.
Of course, the secret behind this is not clear to outsiders, only the system bears it alone.
Perhaps there is one person who knows, that is Tang Zhen, who is watching the fire from the other side.
Originally he was the target of an attack, but due to some strange combination of circumstances, he was not harmed at all.
On the contrary, those who had evil intentions suffered severe backlash and are now in dire straits.
Although he avoided an attack, Tang Zhen did not relax his vigilance and even ordered the defense of Base No. 1 to be strengthened.
Detonating a nuclear bomb at the intersection of two worlds is an act of adding fuel to the fire and will definitely make the situation worse.
Originally, these monsters in the underworld would be suppressed by the rules of the world. After the explosion, this binding force became weaker and weaker.
It's like replacing a dog's iron chain with a thin straw rope. It will definitely be easier for a mad dog to break free and break.
More and more powerful monsters will be attracted by this passage and launch large-scale invasions from the underworld.
In such severe situations, evasive evacuation is the best option.
But Tang Zhen had no choice, because besides Tomb City, he couldn't find any other suitable place.
No matter how difficult and dangerous it is, Tang Zhen must persist until the teleportation array is successfully established.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the plan, Tang Zhen, as the second manager, issued an order to all players.
They are required to arrive at Tomb City as quickly as possible within a limited time, hunt down the monsters that are about to appear on a large scale, and at the same time firmly guard Base No. 1.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the plan, Tang Zhen once again used point rewards. Any player who can complete the task will receive satisfactory rewards.
For players, point rewards are the most affordable and the fundamental reason for them to work hard.
Being able to get points and rewards while having fun is naturally a great thing that you can only dream of.
In order to arrive within the deadline, the players tried every means, using both sky and land vehicles.
Players have extraordinary means and can do things that ordinary people cannot do. Even though the time is tight, there will definitely be a large number of players arriving on time.
In the next three days, Tomb City will become quite lively.
Wherever players appear, there will definitely not be a moment of silence. With more than 100,000 players gathered together, it can almost be called a horrific disaster.
Awakened people who think they are strong will soon realize what despair is. In front of fierce players, Awakened people have no right to be arrogant.
As players arrive, the Awakened must also make a choice, whether to stay in the Tomb City or take the initiative to go to other locations.
This is simply because the future environment will inevitably be extremely harsh. Facing fierce monsters, serious casualties may occur at any time.
Players are powerful and can come back from the dead, so there is no need to worry too much.
The awakened one only has one life. Although there is a chance to become stronger in a desperate situation, there is also a greater chance of becoming a piece of monster shit.
How to choose depends entirely on the volition of the awakened person, and Tang Zhen will definitely not force it deliberately.
At this moment, he was sitting on the roof of the building, with a pot of hot tea beside him, looking towards the tomb area against the wisps of cold wind.
He saw billowing gray fog spreading around, gradually covering the sky above his head.
