Doomsday survival game? I became a boss by picking up trash

Chapter 176

As he submerged in the water, Song Yu felt an unusual sense of peace.

Strangely enough, the water seemed to be an integral part of her body.

The current propelled her forward.

The source of water is very powerful.

Originally expected to take nearly an hour, Song Yu estimated that it might only take a few minutes to arrive.

As long as no unexpected situations arise among the players, there will be absolutely no problem.

Song Yu was referring to an unexpected situation where they colluded with the machinery, and the machinery attacked them, rather than something like drowning, cramping, or getting lost.

Song Yu could easily solve the following possibilities by putting them in water.

The lake water was crystal clear, and under the lights, they could see everything around them clearly.

However, the areas outside the light's reach remained completely dark.

It was pitch black.

Just like when you're in the ocean world.

It seemed as if a giant lake monster could appear at any moment in the darkness and devour them all!

A silent fear spread through the hearts of some players, who were unable to suppress their terror.

In such an unknown environment, and when one is powerless to change it, negative emotions can easily arise in one's heart.

Even after going through so many instances, they still couldn't resist.

The invisible current propelled everyone forward, with Xiao Hei and Song Yu swimming vigorously in front, pulling the others along behind them.

Just when everyone thought they would be able to reach their destination smoothly, one of the players in the middle, who was wearing a diving suit that was intact and whose oxygen tank still had enough oxygen, suddenly showed signs of drowning!
The player looked terrified and thrashed about with his hands, as if an invisible hand was choking him, making it impossible for him to breathe!
His face began to turn bluish-purple and swollen, his eyes became bloodshot, and his eyes revealed despair and helplessness.

"help me……"

He braced one hand against his neck and reached out the other hand to the other players.

However, no one had any solution to this bizarre situation.

Upon seeing this scene, Song Yu immediately became suspicious of the unseen and intangible creature in the lake!
These creatures may not be directly aggressive, but they could very well have a serious impact on a person's mental health!

Chu Lang, who was closest to the player, disregarded the danger and quickly stepped forward to check on the player's condition, whether there was an invisible creature attacking him, or whether there was a problem with the diving suit and oxygen tank.

However, everything works fine.

Therefore, there is only one possibility.

"Look me in the eyes, and now listen to me!"

"Everything you're feeling is fake! It's the creatures in the lake misleading you!"

"The diving suit is fine, and the oxygen tank is also perfectly fine!"

"We're all here, you're safe!"

Chu Lang grabbed the player's shoulders with both hands, forcing him to calm down, looked him straight in the eyes, and shouted at him!
Having experienced so many instances, both Song Yu and Chu Lang have gained some experience and can quickly assess the current situation.

The creatures in this lake,

"Everyone be careful; their targets are likely creatures prone to emotional breakdowns."

Tang Hong immediately addressed the several national team players.

Everyone is quite capable, but their character is lacking.

"The national team is really reliable."

Sister Shen couldn't help but sigh from the side.

Song Yu and Xiao Hei nodded in agreement; they had never denied the reliability of the national team.

When the apocalypse comes, these people will definitely be on the front lines protecting the people.

However, people with different values ​​cannot work together.

They're scumbags.

With Chu Lang's reassurance, the player's emotions gradually stabilized.

Just like he said, everyone is here now, there is no danger.

He is safe.

He is neither the weakest nor the strongest, so there's no reason to pick him.

Is such that.

That's it.

However, the next second, the player suddenly froze on the spot, looking at the people behind him with despair in his eyes.

In the player's field of vision, he finally saw clearly what the creatures in the lake looked like.

Countless enormous creatures had now surrounded them; they were the lake, and the lake was them. There was no escape.

They had already opened their gaping maws towards them, and Song Yu's body appeared inside one of their mouths, while she remained completely unaware.

As soon as it closes its mouth, its sharp fangs will tear Song Yu apart, and Song Yu will be devoured...

Sister Shen couldn't help but look back, but there was nothing there.

Then, right before everyone's eyes, the player's body inside the diving suit began to be slowly devoured!
They watched as their companions' bodies gradually turned into eerie white bones!
In that instant, although no one screamed, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and a silent fear spread and infected them.

Even Song Yu was taken aback.

She felt as if something had entered her body, and then an idea popped into her mind.

Could she also die here?
If you die, just die.

Besides, she's so strong, she won't be the first to die.

The fear was dispelled before it even had a chance to arise.

Song Yu felt a sense of relief wash over him.

She raised an eyebrow, as if she knew what it was.

Based on the current situation, they are a group of creatures that create illusions and feed on negative emotions such as fear and humans.

It is not very aggressive; its main focus is on psychological attacks.

"Did we not leave Dream Valley?"

Ning Hechuan rubbed his arms and only felt a little safer when he was close to Song Yu.

He whispered to Song Yu.

The moment the idea popped into his head, he was genuinely terrified by the possibility.

It's so scary!
“We didn’t even leave from Dream Valley.”

Song Yu looked helplessly at Ning Hechuan. Considering this possibility, she was not good at breaking through illusions, so she did not go to Dream Valley at all.

I didn't even pass by once.

That's how it's written in those horror and eerie novels.

Song Yu simply decided to eliminate the problem at its source.

"Since Dream Valley exists in this world, it is not surprising that there are creatures with similar abilities to it."

Xiao Hei said calmly.

The system says that the world is dangerous because of machinery, so be careful of machinery, but it doesn't say that machinery is the only danger in this instance.

In the ocean instance, players will face dangers from all sides.

Danger lurks both above and below the ocean.

What are you saying?

Sister Shen swam over, followed by other players who looked unwell.

No other reason than that Sister Kidney just killed that player.

They killed him before he died completely and turned into bones.

Sister Shen acted too quickly and decisively.

Unfortunately, the crybaby was too late; she acted too late.

Among Song Yu and the other three, including the dog, Sister Shen, Xiao Hei, the crybaby, and Sang Ning, they were completely unaffected.

Song Yu was also affected to some extent.

This shows how terrifying the nature of these three people and one dog is.

"If you're not afraid anymore, then let's go."

Song Yu glanced at these people, then his eyes drifted toward the human resistance forces.

These people were truly unmoved, remaining completely indifferent and showing no change in expression from beginning to end.

Just like a robot.

"Aren't you afraid anymore?"

Ning Hechuan looked at the players in surprise; they had all been trembling with fear just moments before.

"..."

The players looked at each other speechlessly. How to put it? They were so angry that they had let their fear cloud their judgment. Could this be considered... a blessing in disguise?
"Let's go first."

Sang Ning looked around and said coldly.

Let's talk about it after we're safe.

They still don't know what the creatures in the water are like. They seem easy to deal with, but who knows what the real situation is?

Song Yu nodded and quickly began to lead the way.

As for the player who has already died... all I can say is that he was unlucky.

That's just how the dungeon world is.

Song Yu and Xiao Hei swam in front, while Sister Shen, Sang Ning, and the Crybaby volunteered to be at the back. Sister Shen was also eager to try her hand at fighting the mysterious creature in the water.

However, the mysterious creature had no interest in this woman with a heart of steel.

With Song Yu and Xiao Hei in front, and Shen Jie, Sang Ning, and the Crybaby behind, Tang Hong on the left, Chu Lang on the right, the few players dragging the team down in the middle felt very reassured.

My fear has lessened considerably.

Although it's embarrassing and a hindrance, there's no other way.

Everyone has one or two things they fear.

The rest of the journey went relatively smoothly.

With one less player, the group successfully reached another body of water.

The two bodies of water have a very clear dividing line; one side is blue, and the other is green.

Amazingly, when they entered the green water, the blue water on their bodies automatically receded back into the blue water area.

Just in case, Song Yu even took out the steel to test it.

After confirming that everything was in order, everyone boarded the aircraft one after another.

Before leaving, Song Yu filled a large bucket with blue and green water and threw it into the experimental container in her portable medical space.

We'll investigate further later to see what happened.

After draining the water from the aircraft, Song Yu immediately started the aircraft and took off.

Although it was faster than expected, Song Yu felt that it was always better to allow a little more time.

At the current pace, Song Yu estimates that he should be able to reach either the Windflower Mountains or the Misty White Forest around day 24 of the dungeon run.

Unseen by Song Yu, the AIs deployed a massive mechanical army to guard the fortresses leading into their territories.

This includes Dream Valley.

However, they waited for so long, but Song Yu and the others never came.

"Did they really set off?"

"The Phoenix Township AI asked, displeased."

Mobilizing such a large mechanical army also requires a lot of resources.

"He probably died in Dream Valley."

The speaker was the AI ​​of Silverwing City, and it answered coldly.

The two barnacles that Song Yu left behind in Silverwing City caused enormous damage to the city.

It most wanted Song Yu to die.

"Seven Rainbows, you had already discovered Song Yu, why didn't you notify us!"

Immediately after cursing Song Yu, Silverwing City turned its attention to the Seven Rainbows AI.

"If you had notified us last time, how could Song Yu have possibly escaped our territory!"

As super-intelligent machines, these AIs are intelligent and rational, but that doesn't mean they lack their own personalities.

Reason is one thing, but we still have to argue when necessary.

"Compared to Song Yu, A Lan is the real threat."

Seven Rainbows AI never took Song Yu seriously, which is why it played a trick on Song Yu last time.

No matter what topographical map of the Feng Hua Mountains or the mechanical worm source virus, none of them pose as much of a threat as Alan.

Song Yu is a player from another world, and he will leave when his time expires.

Whether it's the topographic map or the source virus, as long as Alan is dead, it won't cause any trouble.

Alan was their last target to be killed.

It is also the only one left.

"Okay, you're right."

Silverwing City accepted the Seven Rainbows AI's reasoning in 0.01 seconds; it was indeed true.

I initially thought he would be the easiest to deal with, as he only had brute force and no brains, but I never expected that Ah Lan would hold out for so long.

According to their original plan, Alan should have died seventeen years ago.

As a result, Alan actually managed to lead the remaining humans through so many years.

Even as humanity's situation worsened, its territory shrank, and its resources became increasingly scarce, she never gave up.

"How are those humans doing?"

The Dragon Capital Tower asked a question.

It refers to that group of players in the black jail.

"Two more have died."

Ah Lan is too strong.

Over the years, she has become stronger.

To be honest, the AIs are a bit afraid of her and don't dare to send machines to deal with her.

It's not fear of terror, but a sense of helplessness.

They fear that if the machines went there, they would just be sending resources to Alan.

Humans, let's use humans to deal with them.

"A bunch of useless things."

Silverwing City disdains the road.

"Song Yu's whereabouts have been detected."

The White Tiger Factory's AI, which had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.

"Where?!"

Silverwing City immediately asked.

"White Tiger Factory".

The White Tiger Factory replied indifferently.

"?"

The database of Silverwing City is full of question marks. Wait, how did Song Yu end up at the White Tiger Factory?!

Are they really that fast?!

"This Song Yu is quite interesting."

A smiling emoji appeared on the display screen of the round robot inside the Seven Rainbow Smart Brain.

This Song Yu has a personality very similar to an old friend.

Unfortunately, I wasn't as clever as that old friend.

"White Tiger."

Seven Rainbows AI called White Tiger Factory. Among the AIs present, in terms of program hierarchy, data complexity, and scale, White Tiger Military Factory, which was once one of the cores of this world, was undoubtedly the highest.

It was also because Song Yu was blind that he entered the territory of the White Tiger Factory.

If she goes to Silverwing City, the city's AI might not be able to detect her.

"You'll handle her, won't you?"

The Seven Rainbow AI asked with a smile, but its tone carried an air of undeniable authority.

"Ah."

The AI ​​at the White Tiger Factory responded coldly.

It will be resolved.

Song Yu and the others, who were in the underground water veins of the White Tiger Factory, were unaware that they had been discovered.

The White Tiger Factory is not far from the Misty White Forest, only a short distance away.

Here, because of the mines, all the water veins are controlled by machinery, unlike the previous areas where there were many unclaimed water veins.

Song Yu and her group were discovered because they encountered a minor but significant problem.

There's a traitor.

Considering that it might be finished in the next two months (；￣ェ￣), which is about within the expected timeframe, I'll write one or two more side stories, then a real-world side story. The real-world side story should have a lot of content, connecting the previous side stories, and then introducing some new side stories.
