Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Puff——

Just as Wu Wang was laughing heartily, he was suddenly patted on the shoulder. He turned around and found that Xie Zhi had already walked up to him.

Before he could say anything.

Then I heard the other person say in an encouraging tone, with a hint of concern in their eyes, "You've really worked hard. Don't worry, keep going, and you'll definitely see the light at the end of the tunnel!"

He believed that a powerful player like Yan Shuangying would never be defeated by a split personality. Besides, even for such a mental illness, there might be treatment methods in certain dungeons.

Faced with this sudden outpouring of concern.

This left Wu Wang somewhat at a loss.

He even wondered if he had switched to the wrong account. Dude, I should be a widow now, right? You and I aren't that close, are we?
But after all, he had just helped the Mingyang City Bureau of Extraordinary Events resolve a city crisis.

They also managed to take down Irmui, a formidable-looking creature, at sea.

The others were unaware that Irmui had actually come for them.

Therefore, from the perspective of the Xie Zhi, it is still the one who saved Mingyang City.

Then his concern is understandable.

It's probably meant to say that in this protracted war of virtual reality invading the real world, humanity will surely prevail if we persevere.

After thinking it through, Wu Wang smiled and replied, "Don't worry, we won't lose."

Hearing him refer to himself as "we," it was clear that he might have more than one split personality within him, which deepened Xie Zhi's admiration.

Even so, Yan Shuangying is protecting the city.

He was also a hero.

It's best to avoid too much stimulation these days.

The Xie Zhi nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, we'll win. Do you have any other plans? If not, you can come back to the station with me and we'll discuss the next steps..."

Before the Xie Zhi could finish speaking...

Wu Wang shook his head to interrupt.

"Excuse me, I have some special circumstances that require me to leave Mingyang City. I can go to the bureau with you and borrow your transportation, is that convenient?"

At this point, Wu Wang paused slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

A few seconds later, he continued:

"But based on my speculation, the situation on the other side of the dungeon passage may not be completely over yet. Perhaps they will continue to invade in a few days, and they will only be stronger."

"I can't deny that my departure now might seem like an escape to you, but I just want to remind you that if Mingyang City can't hold on any longer, a tactical retreat is also an option."

The Xie Zhi's expression turned serious.

He said solemnly, "No, your actions are definitely not running away. I believe you really have a reason why you have to leave. Otherwise, you could have simply not stayed in the first place, and there would have been no need for you to help deal with the dungeon creatures and that thing from earlier."

"I'll arrange the transportation immediately. As for the dungeon passage, there should only be one last wave of attacks."

"This battle is a must-fight; there is no turning back!"

The voice of the Xie Zhi was powerful and resonant.

There was no hesitation or doubt in his tone.

Wu Wang was stunned for a moment.

Then he smiled with relief.

Yes, Xie Zhi is indeed that kind of person. His insistence on justice is absolute; otherwise, I wouldn't have considered him a friend.

But how did he know that the invasion of the dungeon passage was only in its final wave?

Perhaps they sensed Wu Wang's confusion.

The Xie Zhi added, "While you were resting just now, headquarters has already issued a nationwide announcement regarding the newly discovered [Public Beta] rules—"

"After failing to conquer the dungeon passage three times, you will have three opportunities to invade reality, with the strength and scale increasing from weakest to strongest."

"Participants who successfully repel the dungeon invasion will receive rewards according to their contributions."

"[Successfully repelling a dungeon intrusion is determined by the intruder no longer posing a city-destroying threat to reality under the current circumstances.]"

"In other words, even if you don't kill all the invading copy creatures, but capture a small number for scientific research, it will still be considered a successful defense."

As Xie Zhi spoke, he pulled up a briefing on his phone and handed it to Wu Wang for review.

The above is a pinned announcement from the forum of the Lingzai APP, clearly stating that it was provided by the Bureau of Extraordinary Events.

Unexpectedly, participants will receive rewards after successfully repelling the dungeon invasion!

This will further strengthen the power of players in the Calamity. As for the so-called "merit" distribution, the Calamity game probably has its own set of judgment criteria that it won't explicitly state.

Seeing Wu Wang's somewhat bewildered expression, Xie Zhi explained, "Mingyang City was indeed one of the first cities to experience a dungeon invasion, but it wasn't the first case. The earliest case occurred on the third day after the [Public Beta], and the invasion has just ended, with the rewards already distributed."

"The third day? That's too fast!" Wu Wang frowned, sensing something was wrong.

Under normal circumstances, how could it be possible to fail three times in just three days?
It's even possible that someone who accidentally enters the instance might not even have completed three rounds in three days!

In response, the Xie Zhi sighed and said:

"It was done by the [Disaster Cult]. They deliberately caused the dungeon to fail and quickly filled the dungeon with new or low-level players, just to make reality feel like it was being invaded by the dungeon."

He gritted his teeth as he said this.

This behavior is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire of an already precarious situation in the real world.

He then patted Wu Wang on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we will immediately apply to headquarters for more research access to the spiritual disaster technology, and headquarters will also release the analysis of the interval between each round of invasion. With this advance preparation, we will definitely be able to successfully resist the third round of invasion."

"If you're in a rush, we can talk as we walk."

Wu Wang did not refuse the proposal.

He is indeed in a bit of a rush right now.

There are now only about eight hours left until the agreed entry time.

Wu Wang then informed Mary and Lilith that he would be heading deeper inland, where there was likely no place to summon the Mary.

I'd like to ask them where they plan to go now.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Wu Wang's question...

Mary smiled and replied, "Of course we'll go with you. Otherwise, who knows how long it will be before you call us again."

Lilith also said in a soft voice, "Yes... we've only just met the gentleman... I don't want to leave either."

Wu Wang expressed his confusion.

Didn't we say that there's no ocean or anything like that in Yunzhou City, so the Mary can't possibly get there?

Mary replied with confusion, "When did I say we couldn't stray far from the Mary? Just leave the ship here or hide it in the deep sea, and Lilith and I can disembark and travel with you."

Wu Wang: “?”

No, wait a minute!
What do you mean by "you can act together"?
Wu Wang had always assumed that these two dungeon bosses could only move within a certain range of the [Mary]. For example, in [Smiling Sanctuary], their activity area was just a large residential area. Even now, it was only a coastal city, and Wu Wang even felt that this might already be the upper limit of their activity area.

Now that I think about it...

It seems that Mary did not actually say that she needed to rely on the Mary to move around.

It was my own preconceived notion that Mary and the ship were inextricably linked.

So that's not how it works!
That makes things easier; while I'm in the instance world, I can have Mary and Lilith stay in the city where the instance passage is located.

On the one hand, they were guarding the passage to prevent any accidents, and on the other hand, they were asking them to take care of their second sister.

After briefly explaining the situation...

Wu Wang and the others then returned from the Mary to the beach in Mingyang City.

The enormous cruise ship sailed into the depths of the sea and eventually disappeared into a thick fog that appeared out of nowhere.

Upon arriving at the beach, the group saw a group of members from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs, their faces flushed and their limbs weak, leaning against each other.

They formed a circle on the beach.

This unusual behavior prompted Wu Wang to tease, "I know these three ladies are indeed beautiful, but do they all need to blush like this?"

The Xie Zhi heard that familiar teasing tone.

He couldn't help but give a wry smile.

He knew, of course, that these companions were suffering from the side effects of the enchanted items they had just consumed.

Seeing the Xie Zhi approaching, the group of members from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs also staggered to their feet.

The leader of the team was the deputy captain, who barely managed to raise his hand in salute and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Report, I am Zhang Heyou, the deputy captain of the first squad. The captain went into town to buy fever-reducing medicine for us and will not be able to return to the squad for the time being."

Upon hearing the words "buy fever reducer," the other members of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs couldn't help but smile wryly.

There's no way around it; the side effects of the props are there. If I don't use antipyretics, this high fever will last for another ten hours.

After returning the salute, Xie Zhi helped the other person to sit down and said with emotion, "Take a good rest. There's no need for any formalities. Everyone else, sit down too. Today's battle was fought very well!"

Hearing their boss's praise, even though everyone was still a little dizzy from the fever, a smile couldn't help but appear on their faces.

Seeing that Wu Wang still seemed to have some worry between his brows, Xie Zhi opened his mouth as if to speak but then stopped.

Just then, the second team, which consisted of Baili Dao and his group, arrived after dealing with the seeds left behind by the parasites.

They breathed a sigh of relief after finding that there were no problems here.

Xie Zhi then gave instructions to the others to return to the bureau and prepare a flight application, so that a plane that could travel to Yunzhou City could be dispatched as soon as possible.

He then left Baili Dao behind.

He looked at the group of members of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs who were running high fevers and sitting on the beach, utterly exhausted.

He shouted at them, "Comrades! Whether it's what happened today or the notice just issued by the bureau, it basically declares that this war for human civilization has begun."

"War comes so suddenly. While you're still laughing and joking, it arrives and may take everything away from you!"

Tell me, what is your answer?

The Xie Zhi's gaze suddenly turned to Baili Dao.

Looking at this guy who had just had a brush with death, if I hadn't returned in time, the parasitic bull's sudden eye socket vines might have pierced his skull.

The other person's still-smiling expression immediately turned serious, and they stood up straight with their chest out and head held high, saying:
“Report! Boss Xie Zhi, as you know, before I became a player, or rather, before I joined our Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs, I was a street thug that everyone hated. I did a lot of stupid things and was arrested by the police every few days.”

"The day you invited me to join the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs, you asked me if I wanted to defend the motherland, and I told you to get lost; you asked me if I wanted to become stronger, and I said I would think about it; you asked me if I wanted my parents to look up to me and give me a civil servant position, and I said I should sign the contract quickly."

At this point, the members of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs next to him burst into laughter.

Clearly, they didn't know these things either; the Xie Zhi was recruited by Baili Dao all by himself.

Many people in the bureau even expressed their dissatisfaction with this, after all, Baili Dao had too many past offenses. It was a blessing that he didn't harm ordinary people after becoming a player, so how could they expect him to serve the people?

The Xie Zhi smiled slightly.

I was drawn to this guy's straightforwardness, which allowed me to discover that Baili Dao wasn't a bad person at heart.

It's just that no one guided him, and he was bullied terribly in society, which is why he became like that.

"Now, all sorts of demons and monsters are coming to our world, wanting to destroy our cities, harm our families, and ruin everything we cherish."

"I'm a rough man. I don't want to, and I can't, think about any of that damn right or wrong, belief or disbelief, all those big principles."

"I just want you to tell me—"

"How should we fight? Who should we fight? Kill the enemy! Or... face death!"

His voice was equally powerful and resonant.

Everyone present could shout this out from the bottom of their hearts.

Wu Wang's brows gradually relaxed.

After listening, Xie Zhi patted Baili Dao on the shoulder with satisfaction and laughed, "I don't need you to die. You should live well, kid. Who knows, you might be able to save a beauty in a dungeon someday and make her fall in love with you and marry you."

The crowd burst into loud laughter once again.

Even though everyone is currently running a high fever and feeling weak, it doesn't affect their high spirits.

The Xie Zhi turned its head to look at the fall of Wu.

He said earnestly, "I know what you're worried about, but please believe me, fighting against the dungeon invasion is not your responsibility, nor mine, nor even Director Qinglong's responsibility."

"This is a war for all mankind. There may be cowards, people who give up, and even traitors who stand against mankind, but there will never be a shortage of people who step forward."

"Comrade, please rest assured and hand over Mingyang City to us! This is our battlefield, and there are countless battlefields like this throughout China, and countless 'us' like this!"

"Now you can go to your own battlefield. I wish you a triumphant return."

Wu Wang didn't say anything.

He just looked at the group of guys in front of him who were about to discuss whether the captain could use medical insurance to buy fever reducers.

He smiled.

This is also why he doesn't like to use the [Prophet's Eye] frequently.

Faced with the invasion of the dungeon world, faced with unknown enemies, and even faced with powerful beings like Venerable Ones.

Whether or not we can win is not the point at all.

The key is whether you have the courage to face it.

If the future is already predetermined and cannot be changed, how can we justify humanity's courage?
Now he can leave with peace of mind; the dungeon world is his true battlefield.

And I will dominate the battlefield!

Yunzhou City instance! I'm coming for you! (End of Chapter)
