Chapter 115 Welcome to Yifu City

Players who participated in the strategy copy were quickly selected.

The preliminary candidate players are 18 people, most of whom are from Shi Ning's lecture tour team, and the player levels are around level 20.

The only local players from Wanghai City who participated were Wu Chang, Zhao Yan and two other instructors.

Unfortunately, powerful players such as Lei Huo and Meng Yawen were at the branch office to take over the extra compensation brought by Lin Jiang.

The fight club where the branch is located happens to be outside the erosion area.

In the 18-man team, the absolute main force of the strategy is Shi Ning and Jian Xing.

As a researcher, Shi Ning doesn't like fighting, but he has been in the Abyss Game long enough that his level has reached the upper limit of the Wilderness Level 30.

His style tends to be auxiliary, and his skill system is centered around drawing talismans.

He took out an altar table covered with a yellow tablecloth, a stack of yellow paper, and drew three paper talismans for each team member.

"Item name: Insight Talisman"

「Item type: Limited time consumables」

"Item Description: Use the Insight Talisman to gain the Aura state. There is a chance of discovering special clues when exploring the dungeon. The effect is affected by inspiration."

"Item name: Amulet"

「Item type: Limited time consumables」

"Item Description: Use the amulet to obtain a layer of golden shield, resisting a large amount of damage and gaining immunity to all evil."

"Item name: Crane Seeking Talisman"

「Item type: Limited time consumables」

"Item Description: Use the Crane Finding Talisman to summon a path-finding paper crane. The paper crane will be attracted by the extraordinary events that are happening."

Shi Ning divided the team into nine groups, with two people in each group. Shi Ning and a member of the management bureau who was good at defense sat in the center. The other eight groups were divided into eight directions, starting from Wanghai University and expanding outward to explore.

He told everyone: "Once the out-of-control copy begins to erode reality, it will gradually break through the original level limit of the copy. We must act quickly and find the core of the copy's erosion before it grows into an A-level out-of-control copy."

"The strategy for the erosion dungeon in real life is different from that in the Abyss game. When exploring, you should not pursue completion, but focus on speed and safety. Mark any suspicious areas first, don't rush in, and wait until the initial exploration is completed before exploring with other teams."

According to the original grouping, Wu Chang should be in a group with Zhao Yan, with Jian Xing and Shi Ning in the middle to provide support.

But Jianxing was worried that Wu Chang would have trouble protecting himself, so he took the initiative to switch groups with Wu Chang.

Although Jian Xing meant well, Wu Chang did not appreciate it and instead felt it was troublesome.

It is more comfortable to have a burden around than to have someone who can see through the truth.

Yes, the burden is referring to Zhao Yan.

Wu Changzhen: The Jinjingyuan community where Irene and I live is located southwest of Wanghai University, so he took the initiative to apply to explore this area.

As soon as he left Wanghai University, he felt something was wrong.

He had been at Wanghai University for four years and could walk through the surrounding streets with his eyes closed. He was sure that the west gate of the school was definitely not what he saw now.

The landmark Orange Hotel at the entrance is still there, but the hotel sign has changed to Peach Hotel.

Looking inside from the door, the hotel lobby was filled with tables and chairs, and it really turned into a restaurant.

The feeling is very strange, as if the two cities overlapped and merged together.

He told Jianxing about the anomalies he had discovered and asked, "Will the copies that erode reality after going out of control be superimposed on the real world?"

Jian Xing shook his head. "You should have come across the recently popular alien secret realms. They are the traces left by the copies that erode reality. Normal copies that erode reality are like an extra area created out of thin air, and they do not affect the original space."

Wu Chang frowned, unsure whether the change came from the painter's ability or the out-of-control copy.

Several drones flew over the two men's heads and headed towards a densely populated area in the southeast direction.

While the drone is in flight, the loudspeaker hanging on it broadcasts voice messages.

"Dear citizens, please note that due to the impact of extreme weather, the city has entered a red alert state. Please stay indoors and do not go outdoors easily."

These drones, which come from the ability of a member of the Administration, are not affected by the copy's erosion barrier. At this moment, they are transformed into small loudspeakers, reminding residents in the city not to leave their homes.

Based on previous experience in dealing with erosion copies, as long as you stay indoors, you can avoid more than 80% of the dangers.

"Dear citizens..."

When the drone broadcast for the third time, the sound suddenly became intermittent, as if the signal was affected.

After a few seconds, the broadcast resumed, but the content was changed.

"Welcome all residents to join I-Fu City. The I-Fu City Miracle Committee reminds everyone to stay positive, cheerful, energetic, and healthy every day. Please join us. Our beliefs will create a better tomorrow for I-Fu City."

The reason for the drone's abnormality soon came from behind.

According to the person involved, when the drone he was controlling was 500 meters away from him, he felt that something in the copy had hijacked his abilities.

Not only was he unable to escape the hostage situation, the propaganda slogan about Yi Fu City also penetrated directly into his mind. If it weren't for the amulet, he would have probably lost his mind on the spot.

It wasn’t a good start, but it was not without results.

At least they knew that the background of the copy was called Yi Fu City.

This name is enough to find out information related to the copy.

The Erosion Dungeon is separated from the Abyss Game, and the time flow is synchronized with the real world. The disadvantage is that the time to conquer the dungeon is prolonged, which will lead to more casualties in the dungeon.

The advantage is that you can seek help off-site and retrieve information in real time.

During the waiting time, everyone did not stop.

Jianxing activated a Crane-Seeking Talisman, and the paper talisman burned, transforming into a small red crane.

The little crane circled above their heads, then let out a cry and flew away into the distance.

The two followed closely.

Half a month ago, Wanghai City just experienced an emergency evacuation. Although the predicted danger did not occur, people's nerves were still sensitive.

The weather has suddenly changed, the sky is so gloomy that it seems like it is about to collapse. It can be seen without the official announcement that something big is about to happen.

Even if there was no natural disaster, it would at least be a heavy rainstorm.

Most of the citizens of Wanghai City who were caught in the erosion area hid indoors and dared not go out.

But some people are worried that this is a delayed arrival of the last predicted earthquake, and hiding indoors may be dangerous.

But as soon as the citizens went out, they were dumbfounded. Is this still the Wanghai City where they have lived all their lives?
Why is it different from what they remember?

An elderly couple with their children stood outside the community, looking at the sudden intersection at the entrance of the community with confusion on their faces.

"Grandma, was there a crossroads in front of our house?"

The old lady shook her head and said, "Probably not. Was it just built last night?"

A neighbor at the gate of the community said, "It's not that it shouldn't be there. It's that it definitely isn't. I drive every day. There's a straight road in front of our gate. How can there be a crossroad? If we build a crossroad, won't we have to demolish the community?"

The neighbor's words made sense, and everyone looked at the intersection.

You know what, the main longitudinal road at the intersection really goes straight into the community.

Building No. 7 and Building No. 8, which were originally connected, were suddenly separated in the middle, forming a V-shape, leaving a path.

This is not going to work for the residents. You say it's possible to build a road overnight, but it's a bit outrageous to split Building 7 and 8 overnight. Just when everyone was wondering, cheerful music came from a distance.

A colorful bus drove out from between Buildings 7 and 8 and stopped in front of everyone.

Four young women in suits and smiling masks on their faces jumped out of the car and started dancing to the music in front of everyone.

The girls have slim figures with curvy figure, and they are particularly pleasing to the eye when they dance.

Nowadays, anyone who wears a suit outside is either a salesperson or an agent. Those girls are dancing so hard, they must be selling houses.

After all, housing prices have fallen sharply recently, and they are the ones who have benefited.

Several middle-aged men who were returning home for lunch sighed. It was a pity. If they sold something else, they could still support themselves. But forget about selling their house. They haven't paid off the mortgage on the house they live in now.

After the dance ended, the woman in a suit who was leading the group walked towards the elderly couple with the child.

The old man waved his hands quickly, "Girl, I don't buy a house, I don't buy insurance, and I don't attend classes. The child told me before he left that I can't go even if I give him eggs."

The smile mask on the woman in the suit changed, and her smile became bigger. She bowed slightly and said:

"You are wrong. We are not salesmen. We are the Yifu City Miracle Committee who are here to bring warmth to the community."

What is Yi Fu City, and what kind of warmth can we bring to Wanghai City?
Everyone looked puzzled.

The woman in the suit smiled and said, "First of all, welcome to join Yifu City. Now that you have come to Yifu City, you are a family."

The old man was completely stunned. It felt like the world had changed when he woke up from a nap at noon.

It was getting dark, there was a new road at the entrance, and even Wanghai City was renamed.

He looked at the crowd, not sure if he had encountered the Man effect that Professor Shi was talking about, the one where people's minds become confused when there are too many people.

The woman in the suit continued:

"Since we are a family, we hope you can integrate into us. Yifu City wants every citizen to be positive and cheerful and stay energetic. A healthy day starts with exercise. Let us lead you in a dance."

The old man understood what was said and shook his head quickly.

"I can't come with you guys for that dance you did just now. My arms and legs are old and they're too weak to jump around anymore. It's a rainy day and my legs are hurting. You guys should go find someone else."

The woman in the suit didn't move, and her masked face stared straight at the old man.

"It's people like you who need a good body. Sir, you are thinking, I want to be healthy, I want to dance."

The old man waved his hand and said, "It really won't work. You can find someone else."

The white smiling mask of the woman in the suit suddenly turned gray, and the corners of the mask drooped on the spot.

Her tone was chilly as she said, “Think with me, I want to be healthy, I want to dance.”

The old man was intimidated by the aura of the woman in the suit and whispered, "Okay, okay, I've thought about it. I want to be healthy and I want to dance."

As soon as these words came out, a layer of white light appeared on the old man's body surface, and he looked like he was ten years younger. The pain in his legs that had been bothering him suddenly disappeared.

At this moment, the music started again, and the old man started dancing on the spot without any practice.

He jumped, danced, stood upside down, did splits and bent over, all in one go, leaving his wife and grandson stunned.

The old man couldn't remember how many years it had been since he felt so light.

It feels so good to be young.

It would be even better if we could stop.

"Girl, why can't I stop?"

After the old man started dancing, several women in suits each found a person and began to persuade him.

The neighbors thought it was magical at first and wanted to join in, but when they saw the old man yelling to stop, they realized something was wrong.

A young man who was found recalled a short video he had recently watched, which said that some criminals with special abilities were committing crimes all over the world.

Could these people in front of me be criminals?

He lowered his head, walked around the woman in the suit in front of him, and walked towards home without looking back.

"I have to go to work this afternoon, so I won't come."

The mask on the woman in the suit turned gray, and she shouted behind him:
"Sir, wait a minute, you have to integrate into Yifu City."

The young man pretended not to hear and jogged off.

The mask on the woman in the suit turned black, and her expression was ferocious: "Sir!"

Click.

The running man's foot broke into pieces as it landed. His ankle was bent 90 degrees to the side, with the bone sprained.

The man was about to scream when he heard another snapping sound.

He saw the masked woman appear in front of him.

To be precise, his head turned 180 degrees.

The man with a broken ankle and a twisted head did not fall down. Instead, he jumped back to the gate of the community to the music and started dancing like the old man.

Looking at the two people dancing, the woman in the suit changed her black ferocious mask back to a white smiling mask, tilted her head slightly, and said in a cute tone:
"Sir, I told you to integrate into Yifu City. A loner is not welcome here."

Silence, absolute silence.

The next moment, hysterical screams broke out.

People ran home like crazy, fearing that they would be approached by these weirdos if they were too late and follow the young man's footsteps.

The old lady also wanted to run, but she couldn't, and couldn't let go of her husband. She could only hug her grandson tightly and cover his eyes to prevent him from seeing the young man dancing with his husband with his eyes wide open and his death in a miserable state.

Several women in suits looked at the fleeing crowd, dazed for a moment like robots, then came to their senses and said in a troubled tone:
"This group of new citizens really makes us worry."

The masks on their faces all turned black, and they were about to activate their abilities to make people become like young men.

Before he raised his hand, he heard a crane cry in the distance.

The next moment, a flying sword, accompanied by the sound of breaking wind, pierced into the face of the leading woman in a suit, and the tip of the sword came out from behind her head.

The mask on the woman in the suit cracked, revealing a dazed, dull, and lifeless face underneath.

It’s more like a puppet than a person.

The death of the leader made the other three people stop chasing the civilians and all looked in the direction where the flying sword came from.

The flying sword flew back from the face of the woman in the suit, and a moment later, Jian Xing came flying with the sword.

"Conghua, you hide well, I'll leave them to me."

Wu Chang, who suffers from social phobia, quietly approaches the woman in a suit who was stabbed in the face.

Perhaps it was because she was not a living creature. Even after being hit by a sword that should have killed her, she still had a breath and was struggling to use her abilities.

Why bother.

He used the venom of a sea snake to add another blow.

The next moment, he was stunned by the prompt in front of him.

Can you gain experience by killing monsters in the Erosion dungeon?
