Chapter 199 Backtracking!

Talking about what happened underground in the shelter, Wu Chang was no longer sleepy, his eyes lit up, and his ears perked up.

He Yun looked into the depths of the circuit channel and slowly told the past of the underground shelter.

In the plane where He Yun is located, the surface of the earth is gradually becoming unsuitable for human habitation due to the increasingly severe weather.

In order to survive, humans gradually split into two factions.

The starry sky school and the geocentric school.

The Starry Sky School believes that the future of human civilization lies in space, and wants to build a space version of Noah's Ark, taking the human fire away from the earth and looking for a planet suitable for life.

The idea is good, but the problem is that no habitable planet other than Earth had been discovered at the time, and this option was full of unknowns.

On the contrary, the geocentric school advocates the construction of underground cities, which can isolate pollution from the surface. At the same time, humans do not leave the earth and can continue to try to purify the surface environment.

Once the surface returns to normal values, it is also much easier to return to the surface from underground.

In the end, more than 99% of humans chose the Geocentric faction.

Underground Shelter No. 88 was one of the underground cities built by the Geocentric Sect at that time.

In the beginning, the Starry Sky School and the Geocentric School were just two different plans with different differences, and they still had some interactions with each other.

But as the situation developed, the die-hard supporters of both camps gradually became extreme, believing that their own path was the only way.

The slogan "The underground is the true destination of mankind" was quickly spread, and some conspiracy theories and science fiction stories from ancient times also began to appear in everyone's vision.

For example, "life originates from the center of the earth" and "the center of the earth is not full of magma, but there is a beautiful world inside the earth."

In the end, it even evolved into slogans like "Light comes from underground, crisis comes from above ground!"

The initial plan to temporarily hide underground in order to wait for the surface environment to recover has instead become a reprieve from entering the surface. If they want a future, they must go deeper underground.

But putting aside the question of whether the underground world exists, if the underground shelter wants to develop, it must continue to go down.

Whether it is expanding living space or searching for resources and energy, it is in the interests of everyone.

Shelter 88 did the same thing and actually dug something out underground.

More than five kilometers below the surface, they dug out a special space.

It is not the legendary inner world, but the things inside are more exciting to the residents of Shelter No. 88 than the inner world.

There is energy there, endless energy.

You just need to connect the circuit into the underground space to obtain a steady supply of electricity, as if the air there is all gaseous lightning.

The discovery of huge amounts of energy supports the rapid development of Shelter No. 88. Whether it is urban construction or scientific research, the development speed is even faster than when humans were on the surface!
At the same time, the exploration of special underground spaces is also being carried out simultaneously.

As the exploration continued, people discovered an ancient temple deep in the special space. By deciphering the inscriptions on the stone tablet in front of the temple, people learned that the power of this space came from the gods enshrined in the temple.

The energy leaked from the temple alone is enough for them to use inexhaustibly. If they could crack the secret of the temple, wouldn't they be able to reach heaven?
So Shelter No. 88 organized an expedition team to enter the temple to explore. They thought they would open a door to the future, but they didn't expect to open Pandora's box.

Their exploration destroyed the original seal of the temple, and a large amount of white mist gushed out, which not only wiped out the entire exploration team, but also swallowed up everything built in the special space.

In order to resist the white fog, the underground shelter can only seal the deeper passages and send people to conduct regular inspections.

Sealing off the special underground space is not the end of the disaster for Underground Shelter No. 88, but just the beginning of it.

Because from that day on, Underground Shelter No. 88 fell into an endless time loop, and no one could escape.

After listening to He Yun's story, Wu Chang immediately asked, "What role do you play in this story?"

He Yun looked a little unhappy, and he looked into the depths of the passage and said, "I am the only survivor of the team that investigated the temple. The person in charge of that investigation was my brother."

Wu Chang: "So, you have seen the underground temple with your own eyes? What kind of building is it?"

He Yun didn't know why Wu Chang asked this, but he still answered: "It is a huge stone temple. It is very old and hieroglyphics are used in the temple."

Hearing this, Wu Chang couldn't help but sigh.

Fang Hui, this guy, will really cause him trouble. If nothing unexpected happens, the stone building where Fang Hui is currently under house arrest is the temple that He Yun mentioned brought disaster.

But that’s okay. There’s no need to worry about who gets there first. I’m afraid that while he’s breaking through the copy, he can also save Fang Hui at the same time.

Wu Chang took a few deep breaths, exhaled the remaining smell of disaster fog in his chest and lungs, and asked:
"You are not telling me this just to tell me a story, are you?"

He Yun nodded, his eyes becoming determined.

"I have always wanted to return to that space and seal the temple again, but because of my past experience, I find it difficult to face the fog of disaster, so I have been unable to take action."

"You are the opposite of me. You are completely immune to the fog of disaster, and you are strong enough. You are the best person to go underground with me!"

Wu Chang nodded and said, "I understand. I have no objection to entering the temple you mentioned, but before that, should we talk about something else first?"

"Anything else? Is there anything more important than this?" He Yun was a little puzzled.

Wu Chang rubbed his hands and smiled the standard smile that a salesperson would show to a customer. "Of course there is, for example, compensation."

He Yun asked doubtfully: "Aren't we friends?"

"Hey, look at what you said. Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly." Wu Chang said with a smile. You can't get it for free just because you are good-looking and have a good figure, right?
Saving Fang Hui didn't cost any money, because the money he had spent on eating out in the dormitory over the past four years had already paid enough in advance.

He Yun looked at Wu Chang, speechless for a moment. After staying in the No. 88 underground shelter for a long time, due to the abundance of energy and materials, plus playing their own roles for a long time, the first driving force for people's actions is mostly to satisfy the desires of the spiritual world.

Beating each other to death is one thing, seeking death is one thing, and helping others is also one thing.

Even getting paid after work is a necessary procedure to satisfy one's inner sense of accomplishment. The supplies produced in the underground shelter are enough for everyone to enjoy.

She really couldn't think of what to pay for a moment.

He Yun pinched her brows and recalled several transactions that the bartender had asked her to take over.

"I am the strongest mecha maker in the underground shelter. Maybe I can help you customize a mecha, or help you transform a technological weapon. How much is the reward?"

When watching the mecha boxing match at the Broken Bottle Bar before, Wu Chang had been envious of the mechas in the underground shelter. He thought that He Yun could only provide one set of standard mechas at most, but he didn't expect that she would ask for a set of customized mechas as soon as she opened her mouth. She was also the strongest mecha manufacturer in the underground shelter.

This time he really got lucky.

He immediately said, "Deal!"

Seeing that Wu Chang agreed to help, He Yun no longer wanted to continue the repairs. He immediately took Wu Chang away and made a plan to seal the underground temple.

The two men left the power station. He Yun was still dismantling and repairing the mecha when he saw a figure suddenly appear at the door of the power station.

The moment the other party appeared, Wu Chang's inspiration started to send out alarms frantically, telling him to be careful.

The person who came was a man wearing a leather jacket and a motorcycle helmet. He had no weapons in his hands and no props, but he exuded a powerful oppressive force.

It was obvious that the other party was a player and had bad intentions.

Thinking back to Scalpel on the ring last night, the helmeted man in front of him should also be coming for He Yun, but his rank is much higher than Scalpel's.

Although the power of the scalpel is strong, it is not much greater than that of the players in the Wilderness Realm. Even the players on the second level of the Abyss are just rogues who have just been promoted.

The helmeted man in front of him was different. Just from the aura he exuded in his every move, one could tell that he was at the second level of the Abyss and was also an extremely experienced player.

The bad news is that the helmeted man is very strong, having exceeded the maximum value of the barrier of the Wasteland Plane. He is at least 10 levels stronger than the top player in the Wasteland.

The good news is that the helmeted man still doesn't have divinity in his body, unlike the guy who signed a contract with Lei Hu, who was almost killed instantly by a single strike from a distance.

A bit stronger, but not that strong.

Wu Chang pinched his knuckles excitedly, wondering if he had the strength to fight against the players on the second level of the Abyss.

The appearance of the helmeted man quickly attracted the attention of the old man guarding the gate. The old man looked nonchalant, but he was actually a veteran and could sense the other party's hostility from a long distance.

The guard put on a combat armor, holding a large-caliber machine gun in his hand, and quickly walked to the observation tower of the power station, pointed the gun at the helmeted man, and shouted;

"You are not welcome here, outsider! It's not too late to leave now!"

The guard's shout attracted He Yun's attention. She hurriedly dismantled the maintenance mecha, and ran out without having time to put it back in place.

"what happened?"

Wu Chang said: "There is an outsider approaching. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be the accomplice of Scalpel last night."

The helmeted man was very confident in his own strength and ignored the guard's shouting as he continued walking towards the power station.

The guard didn't hesitate and pulled the trigger directly. Large-caliber bullets rained down like raindrops. The gun fired with the momentum of a cannon fire.

The old security guard in combat armor at this moment exerted a killing power greater than that of the Secret Master on the Star Leap. If the Secret Master had such firepower, the Blood Wolf would be torn to pieces by artillery fire in the first encounter.

But even with such powerful firepower, the man in the helmet could not be harmed at all.

The helmeted man looked like he was strolling leisurely amid the gunfire, but in fact he was moving at an extremely fast speed, which even machines could not catch. Every time he dodged a round of shooting, he would deliberately stop and pause for a moment with a movement similar to that before dodging.

His extremely fast flashes and pauses were like a stack of flipping comic books; anyone who saw him could string his jumping movements together into a series of coherent actions in their minds, allowing him to perform scenes that seemed like he was just taking a walk but were actually flashing.

There is no doubt that this is a show of skill.

The helmeted man used this method to announce to everyone the level difference between them, so that they would not resist in vain.

Under the gaze of everyone, the man in the helmet took only three steps and arrived at the gate of the power plant from a hundred meters away.

Then he swung his fist hard, smashing the heavy electric door directly into the air.

The helmeted man slowly stepped into the power plant and locked onto He Yun.

"Are you He Yun?"

He Yun saw how powerful the opponent was. She took a fighting stance. The bracelets on her arms changed shape and turned into two metal gloves. The necklace on her neck expanded outward like origami folded thousands of times, turning into a set of close-fitting mecha. "Yes, I am."

He Yun's transformation stunned Wu Chang who was standing beside him. The technology of the underground shelter seemed to be more advanced than he had imagined. He could even transform himself while wearing a mecha.

Does the custom mecha that He Yun promised to make for him also have this function?
The man in the helmet was also surprised by He Yun's transformation. He chose the right moment and thought that since He Yun did not carry a mecha with him, he could catch the opponent off guard and win easily. He did not expect that the opponent had such a trump card.

Since it is impossible to save effort, we can only put in some effort.

The helmeted man shook his fist and said, "For the sake of our cause, could you please die?"

As he said that, he swung his fist and hit me.

As the champion of the wine bottle breaking mecha arena, He Yun is very skilled in boxing. She wanted to use her forearm to block the helmeted man's straight punch, while accumulating strength with her back hand, preparing to fight back.

Her idea was good, but her numbers didn't allow it.

The moment the helmeted man's fist was blocked by He Yun, a huge force exploded from his fist, directly breaking He Yun's guard, and punched He Yun on the shoulder, knocking her out.

"This punch is called the Great Virtue that Holds the World."

After a punch, the helmeted man did not forget to name his moves, but it looked like he did not use his full strength.

On the other side, He Yun got up from the ground. She lowered her head to check her injuries and found that the mecha on her left forearm and left shoulder were seriously damaged. The function of her left arm was seriously damaged and she could only exert 30% of its strength.

It can be said that the other party broke one of her arms with just one punch.

Of course Wu Chang couldn't just stand by and watch the show. As soon as the battle started, he used social phobia and elite stealth to make the helmeted man ignore his existence.

At this moment, he had sneaked to five meters behind the helmeted man. He seized the opportunity, suddenly used the Lightning Shadow Skill to jump behind the helmeted man, and then used all his strength to punch the helmeted man in the back.

A strength of up to 148 points, combined with the charging bonus of Iaido and the deliberate sneak attack.

With the combination of these three factors, the punch directly knocked the helmeted man off balance.

If the Iaido didn't take long enough to charge, the helmeted man would probably stand there without moving, and would have said, "Master, have you not eaten? You don't even have the strength to pound my back!"

After this punch was thrown, both Wu Chang and the man in the helmet were stunned.

Wu Chang looked at his fist with an expression of disbelief. He was sure that this punch had hit the opponent solidly. He did not feel any defensive skills, nor did he feel any defensive props.

After this punch, Lehmann could only scream twice symbolically, so why was the man in the helmet not hurt at all?
Could it be that this guy is too afraid of pain, so he put all his attribute points into defense?

The man in the helmet was also confused. He was confused because someone could sneak up behind him without him noticing, and a player from the Wilderness could actually beat him!

The helmeted man was impressed and said, "Boy, tell me who you are and I won't kill you."

Wu Chang always knew how to take advantage of others. He immediately put down his fist, as if giving up resistance, and said, "My name is Heping, but people in the wilderness like to call me the mysterious newcomer."

The helmeted man thought for a moment and said in surprise, "That mysterious newcomer who broke through the B-level out-of-control copy in the trial copy."

Wu Chang nodded, "It's me."

The helmeted man's gaze became heated, and Wu Chang could feel the burning heat even through the black glass of the helmet.

"Are you interested in joining us?"

Wu Chang asked back: "We can discuss this. Can you first tell me why you can ignore my attack?"

At this moment, the helmeted man is the knife and Wu Chang is the fish. In the eyes of the helmeted man, as long as the mysterious newcomer in front of him does not want to die, he will definitely join them.

The helmeted man now considered himself a senior in the organization and gave instructions:

"We guessed correctly. You are not from a big organization, nor are you a core member of any force. The reason is very simple, that is, hierarchical suppression."

"After players break through the first layer of the abyss and enter the second layer of the abyss, they will have a layer of barrier on their body surface. When facing the existence of the first layer of the abyss, this barrier will offset the opponent's 100-point bonus to all attributes."

"That is to say, the force you hit me with just now, after being weakened by 100 points, was still able to break through my well-known defense and make me fall forward. How long have you entered the Abyss Game, and you have such strength? Are you really not cheating?"

Wu Chang looked at the man in the helmet who was answering his questions enthusiastically, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

Weakened the attribute by 100 points, and it still fights nm.

The helmeted man in front of him seemed to be foolishly exposing his cards, but in fact he was showing off his strength, telling him the difference in combat power between the two and making him give up resistance.

But giving up resistance means giving up He Yun and giving up this pillar of the world.

The helmeted man asked, "How about it, have you made up your mind? Do you want to join us?"

Wu Chang looked back at He Yun and asked without even turning his head: "This barrier can only offset the attributes, right?"

Helmeted Man: "Isn't that enough?"

"not enough."

Next, Wu Chang raised his elbow and yelled;
"Man!"

He turned around and elbowed the helmeted man in the face like a knife. The helmeted man smiled contemptuously and raised his hand to grab Wu Chang's arm, wanting to capture Wu Chang. However, Wu Chang's arm seemed to have no bones, and he dodged his grab at a strange angle, and then hit his helmet with his elbow.

This elbow directly blew up the helmet of the man in the helmet and hit him hard in the eyes.

The man in the helmet was elbowed backwards. He tried to stand firmly, but felt his balance was off and he sat down on the ground.

It is extremely lethal but extremely insulting.

After being elbowed, the man in the helmet became anxious.

"Boy! You are courting death!"

Wu Chang knew that he was no match for the helmeted man at the moment, so he didn't bother with him. At the moment of being hit by his elbow, he took advantage of the various negative effects on the helmeted man, grabbed He Yun and ran away.

"Run!"

When the two men ran away, the old guard at the power plant had already walked down from the watchtower. He shouted at them:

"You guys go quickly, I'll cover for you! Boy, take good care of her for me!"

He Yun looked at Wu Chang with a complicated expression. Faced with an enemy with such a huge disparity in strength and the other party's enthusiastic recruitment, she thought that Wu Chang would agree to the other party's invitation, join the other party, and turn around to deal with her together.

Unexpectedly, Wu Chang would risk his life to fight back for him, and then take him away.

"You shouldn't care about me. You know the difference between us. He can't kill me."

At the same time, the helmeted man who was hit by the elbow had recovered from some of his abnormal condition and followed suit.

The man in the helmet was already furious, and when he saw the old security guard blocking the way without knowing the consequences, he immediately decided to take it out on him.

"Virtue carries all things!"

He stepped forward and came directly in front of the old security guard. He threw a punch, breaking the rifle in the guard's hand, piercing through the guard's mecha, and directly stabbing into the guard's chest.

With a cold snort, he directly grabbed the guard's heart and exploded it.

According to the rules of the underground shelter, the dead guard should become a corpse and be resurrected after a period of time.

Unexpectedly, the guard who was killed by the helmeted man turned into mist and completely dissipated.

Wu Chang asked doubtfully, "Has he returned to the collective resurrection point?"

But when he turned around, he found that He Yun, who usually had little emotional fluctuations, actually had tears in his eyes.

He Yun said with hatred: "He is dead."

Wu Chang was puzzled and asked, "Don't the locals in the underground shelters survive?"

He Yun said: "I don't know, maybe he has mastered some way to kill us completely."

Looking at the helmeted man approaching from behind, Wu Chang asked, "What should we do now?"

If He Yun has no other solution, he will have to use long-distance transmission.

Thanks to his foresight, he left a teleportation formation at He Yun's house before leaving this morning.

Unexpectedly, He Yun suddenly stopped while running, retracted his mecha, and shouted at him: "There is no time. There is only one way left. Kill me!"

"what?"

Wu Chang was confused and said, "No, even if I kill you, you will be resurrected at the same place. What's the point?"

Do I have to kill you three times in a row and then let you revive and escape?

He Yun shouted, "No time to explain, quick! Kill me!"

Seeing that the helmeted man was less than a hundred meters away from the two of them, and He Yun did not look crazy, Wu Chang decided to trust her this time. In case she was unreliable, he would still have time to teleport her body over a long distance.

"Never mind, you said it!"

After saying that, Wu Chang took out the Dawn Hammer and shot He Yun in the head.

boom!
Amid the loud gunshots, he saw the world around him begin to distort and everything in front of him became blurred.

With a dizzy spell, his eyes went dark. When his vision returned, he found that he had left the area where the power station was located and returned to the city.

Before he could react to what was happening, he heard a familiar voice next to him.

"Come on, Xiaoliang, give this outsider a full life!"

"Fuck! Go! Ignore!"
