Players Please Get In the Car

Mr. Xi won the argument unilaterally. When he heard that Master Cong wanted to help polish the props for free, he did not refuse. Instead, he discussed with him the direction of making the props. They had not yet come up with a suitable plan based on the properties of the sub-type stone, so Xu Huo did not participate in this discussion.

After nightfall, there were fewer and fewer hoods randomly appearing in various places in the city. I don’t know if the local government has made any major progress, but in any case, the manor is quite peaceful.

But the good times did not last long. Following the Night Tour copy, a new B-level copy broke out in Wanzhi Garden. The plants that existed in the curiosity catalog became truly terrifying existences. It is said that the six scientific research teams that entered Wanzhi Garden to collect were wiped out even under the protection of the players. Fortunately, the scope of this copy is limited to Wanzhi Garden, and there is no copy restricted area.

Although the entire Wanzhi Garden is very large, as long as it does not spread to cities where humans live, it will not be a big deal after being blocked.

However, when he woke up the next morning, he found that the sky over Xiacheng was filled with finger-sized green bubbles. They looked like seeds of some mutant plants. They were very light and could float far away with the wind. They were also somewhat toxic.

A protective shield has been opened outside the manor, but there are still a lot of green bubbles attached to the shield, densely packed like insects, and some of them actually contain insect eggs, which can hatch into some mutated species in about an hour or two. Not only do they crawl quickly, but they also reproduce very quickly. The green belts that were not protected were eaten up with skins and leaves in a blink of an eye.

This is not the most difficult thing. These are just minor troubles and can be solved if the robots are busy. However, these green bubbles sometimes bring some special mutant species. They can take root as soon as they land on the ground and grow very fast. In just a few hours, there are already many places in the city hung with "eyeball fruits" and "human head gourds". Some buildings and roads have collapsed and damaged due to their growth. It looks like viruses and bacteria are continuously spreading throughout the city.

This mutant plant disaster has covered three cities including Xiacheng. The local government has conducted tests in advance and distributed protective masks. The visible mutant plants are not a cause for concern. What is more terrifying are the tiny, imperceptible fungal seeds that may parasitize the internal organs after being inhaled into the body, which is relatively troublesome to deal with.

"It really is like when it rains it pours," Jing Shi said worriedly, "I wonder how many people will die this time."

"Wanzhi Garden has become a copy site. The district government may consider destroying the copy site." Xu Huo said. After all, the copy site can no longer be entered at will to collect samples. The threat posed by its existence has outweighed the benefits.

The district government responded quickly. Half a day after the incident, it sprayed pesticides through high-altitude operations, which not only killed a large number of mutant plant seeds that entered the city, but also killed all the easily spread mutant plants in Wanzhi Garden.

The city was shrouded in fog, and with the flying headgear and untreated mutant plants, it looked like an alien world.

Urban residents try to stay at home as much as possible, and the supply of vegetables, fruits and meat depends on the help of surrounding cities. The robots will deliver them on time every day, and will also bring official progress reports, mainly explaining the situation of the copy and repeatedly reminding people of things that need to be paid attention to in home life.

Defensive hoods have long been popular throughout the city. Due to copy restrictions, the local government is prepared to isolate from now on.

Teacher Jingshi and others were relatively calm, but some of Master Cong's apprentices could not keep their composure. They lived in Area 001 and were the more promising members of the family. If they could never leave the city because of the Night Tour copy, wouldn't their future be ruined?

In the past two days they have been trying to contact their families to ask someone to pick them up, but no one agreed. It's not that they don't feel sorry for the children, but they can't afford the consequences of the expansion of the dungeon. Besides, no matter whether it is the government or the player organization, they will definitely hold them accountable afterwards. Taking the children back now is tantamount to letting them die.

However, not everyone can understand this. As time goes by, these people become more and more impetuous. Some of them even stop going to class. They keep looking through the messages on the Jixin terminal and apply to the local government for qualifications to leave the city.

Less than five days later, one of the young men, who looked barely twenty years old, overturned the meal brought by the robot and neatly dismantled the robot's energy source. He clamored for some living people to come to the manor, as he did not want to face the cold machine anymore.

This was clearly an attempt to find fault, so Jingshi could only step out to appease them. However, those young people soon made other requests. They wanted to go out and play, and asked Jingshi to arrange players to protect them.

Jingshi only hired a few players. Some of the players who came to help before were purely her fans. Later, the situation became critical, and some of them left Area 001, while others went to help with the rescue. Now, none of them have returned. The manor is also short of people, so of course it is impossible to send someone to follow them, not to mention that they can't go out.

These young men in their twenties were very dissatisfied. They lost their previous politeness and began to look for fun in various places in the manor. The entertainment room could no longer accommodate them, so they took the instruments they carried with them and played robot headshot games, or reset the robot instructions to play pranks. Mr. Xi, who drank the spiked tea, was so angry that he ran out of the workshop and cursed.

Xu Huo was looking at some information collected by Jingshi in the study. They were originally talking, but they heard the alarm downstairs. Jingshi had to go downstairs to check. As soon as she left, two young men sneaked into the study. They did not notice Xu Huo standing behind the bookshelf, and ran straight to the desk, took out the manuscript of the new book that Jingshi was writing, shuffled the order, and randomly sandwiched it between the books and put it on the bookshelf.

Just after putting down five or six books, one of them spotted Xu Huo. He was startled for a moment and immediately took the initiative to attack, "Are you hiding here to steal things?"

Xu Huo closed the book and put it back on the shelf. "Take out the manuscript and put it back as it was."

He stared at the two of them, smiled and said, "I am not a player from Zone 001. I can take you to any zone. Then you will find that the days you are trapped in the manor are like those of a god."

His smile did not convey any comfort, and the coldness in his eyes made the two of them tremble. They looked at each other, and after a while they reluctantly took out the manuscript and put it back in place.

Before leaving, Xu Huo told them, "Don't look for trouble. If you are really bored, go to the back and tidy up the garden. Those mutant plants have not been cleared away yet."

The two men walked away obediently. Ten minutes later, a group of young men appeared in the garden with tools.
