Chapter 187 Chapter 185·TE·After the Wasteland

"-Congratulations."

   A girl with a single ponytail, watching all the people who once fought alongside her.

   In that, many familiar figures have disappeared, but more new people will always appear in a steady stream.

   But after that, there will be no such grand scene again.

  Because everything will pass, all suffering will be covered by heavy snow, and what greets these people is an extremely bright future.

   The halo spreads out.

   At the moment when the light suddenly burst out, it swept away in a radial pattern.

   There is no gap, covering every piece of land, including the sky, all covered in this white brilliance.

  People looked up and didn't understand what it was, but soon, they saw a surprising scene.

  The snow stopped.

   The flowers are blooming and the green is shining, like all the vitality is blooming in an instant, and all the beauty is competing to show.

   But soon, with the next wave of energy, all this was quickly wiped out.

   The snow melted quickly, revealing the shattered square floor, the building groaned, and then collapsed with a bang.

   The green plant leaves disintegrated, and the soil mixed with the broken green was swept into the wind.

The   pillar collapsed, and the house covered with glazed gems quickly disintegrated. In the cloud and mist, the building on the highest floor was also quietly melting little by little, and then completely disappeared.

  The gravel splashed, and the roar was endless.

  —Lu Shu saw this scene through his eyes.

  Everything is melting, everything is disappearing…

   He didn't know what had become of the place other than the square. He only knew that in his field of vision, all the beauty was quickly disappearing, and then there was only a silent wasteland left.

   But in the wasteland, he felt the breath of new life.

  It seems that there are countless greenery, waiting to germinate in the gap. And the heavy snow has completely stopped at this moment.

   in a dazzling light.

   He saw that there seemed to be something splendid, disappearing together with the appearance of brilliance.

   is like the tears of a mermaid in a fairy tale, a precious and beautiful thing like a diamond, and the source of all sadness.

   In the midst of such a spectacle, no one spoke.

   They watched the extravagant square in front of them turn into wasteland as if they were watching a cutscene, and the eyes of the girl with her eyes closed on the stage burst into tears.

   "Congratulations, also, congratulations to us." She said, clasping the crown in her hand:

   "...Congratulations to us, the Revolutionary Army, for the victory."

  The blood-red hair rope fluttered in the silent wind.

   She turned and disappeared from everyone's gaze.

  …

  【Channel Tip: Congratulations to the player for completing all the plots! Before the end of the tenth day, escape (all dead) mechanism! 】

   At the same time, all surviving players heard the prompt from the system:

  【Fifth World·Minghui, this world line is hidden line·wasteland line, the completion progress is 100%. 】

  【“—Above the wasteland, rebirth. And the future is like a breeze, shared by the living people.”]

  【Note: This line is a hidden line, and it is also the HE line of most players. After this line is reached, the player's survival probability will be directly increased to 100%, and will not be reduced. 】

   [Because of escaping the death judgment, the contribution value of all players increases by 1000 points. 】

Everyone    also suddenly discovered that their survival rate, which had fallen below 10%, jumped to 100% in an instant.

  Lu Shu stared at the 100% number on the panel, and cold sweat slid down.

   He knew that something extremely important had happened just now.

   Otherwise, according to the original process, many of them will definitely die in the previous session.

   He finally understood what the audience said in the barrage, this world is extremely underworld, what it means.

  …This is not just a world of factions.

   Judging from the system prompt just now, before the tenth day, there has always been a hidden condition in this world copy.

   As long as none of the more than 10,000 players in this world dungeon can discover this condition and change it, then it is possible that the death mechanism will be triggered on the tenth day, and most players will die on this day.

"Congratulations to the player for completing all the plots and escaping the death mechanism of all members." Lin Yin, who was next to him, read this panel and scratched his head: "...What is the situation, what is the death mechanism? So we were originally going to die, which player made this line? changed?"

   "It should be..." Lu Shu was about to speak, but the system's prompt didn't stop:

  【The tenth day death mechanism has been judged to end. In the remaining five days of the game process, players are free to complete subsequent tasks and explore various places. 】

   [Note: Since there is already a perfect player in the current world, other players' perfect path will fail by default. 】

  [The plot of the wasteland line promotes the mvp player: Su Mingan]

  【When the copy of this world is completely over, the complete plot (Hidden Line・Wasteland Line) will be displayed. 】

"damned-!"

  Lin Yin tugged at her hair: "I've almost reached 85% of my perfect customs clearance mission—it just failed, I thought I could really give Xiao Ming a name—"

  Because of different roles, the perfect clearance route for each player is different.

  Lin Yin's perfect customs clearance route is to play (Xiao Ming), lead the revolutionary army to victory, and then discover the secret of Xiao Ming's family identity.

   The dawn of victory is at hand, just give a system prompt to kill.

   She sighed and looked at Lu Shu, who was also looking at her.

   Those drooping eyes of the dead fish had the meaning of "as expected".

"It's said that you can't be faster than Su Ming'an, and you can't complete the level perfectly before him." Lu Shu said, as if he had expected this scene long ago: "If you're about to finish, be the first to stop you. It's me too, so give up."

   "kuso! Is that so? I won't be teaming up with you **** in the next dungeon—!"

  Lin Yin was angry, but he rushed into the square with the flow of people, occupied the high platform, and carried out the follow-up great cause of harvesting contribution value.

   The azure blue protective cover has disappeared, she rushed into the building room inside, but did not even see a nobleman.

   "Everyone ran away?" She knocked on the priest's staff with a sharp knife on her hand. She originally thought she could kill a few to earn contribution points.

   She kicked over the luxurious seat in the room, and suddenly heard the sound of birds spreading their wings.

   She turned her head to the side and looked out the window through the floor-to-ceiling window. The blue and purple sky light was magnificent, and below, there was a desolate wasteland.

   Above the sky, the chirping warblers are singing in a circle.

  …

  【When you stare at the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you; if you fight with the dragon for too long, you will become a dragon yourself. 】

  …

   Galaxy night, the wasteland is reborn.

The   storm did not completely turn the entire continent into wasteland. In the nearby places, there were still cities that survived.

  The boats are on both sides of the strait, and the lights are bright.

  No longer the biting wind blowing his face, he sat alone on the roof, looking at the townspeople who were rebuilding their homes below, holding a pot of cold wine in his hands, his obsidian-like eyes filled with silent disappointment.

   There was a tiny black gas surging around her body.

   Hearing a small sound from the side, she turned her head and looked at Su Mingan who had climbed up.

"How's it going?"

   "It's okay." Su Mingan sat next to her: "It seems that I think right, this method is feasible."

   - Just when Hui Shuhang asked him if he wanted to die with her, he proposed a new method.

All his thinking is from the perspective of the game process. Since the perfect clearance progress has been 95% and the survival probability is 100%, it is impossible for the wasteland line to give him a desperate situation. There is a way to survive.

   Then, he thought of Shadow.

  【The Malice of the World】.

   He asked Hui Shuhang whether non-blood relatives could transfer malice, and the answer was yes. Just because the two bloodlines are not connected, and cannot completely suppress maliciousness like Shengqi, so maliciousness may break out directly, causing unimaginable consequences.

   He chose to transfer his malice to Shadow.

You and Ying are people who do not belong to this world, and they will leave after fifteen days. Since malice cannot be completely eliminated, it can only be transferred from one generation to another. , is the breaking point given to him by the game process.

   An obvious break point.

   Coincidentally, absorbing malice can increase the strength of the shadow, this is the description written on the skill interface at the beginning.

   So he did not choose to go back.

   He tried it, and sure enough, he succeeded, but the malice on his body was too great, and it also contained the part of the Holy Revelation, and it was not enough that even the shadow turned into black carbon.

   Hui Shuhang said that she was willing to bear these burdens and then die instead of them.

   But Su Mingan's mission was to save her life, and he did not agree.

  The state of "Ming" is very repulsive of malice, and he can't bear it at all.

   But at this time, the single and double, who had been in a state of collapse, stood up.

   She said that if there is no second person in the world with the same strength as Sheng Qi, Chen Yang is already dead.

   Then let a second commander like her carry all this.

  …

   "There are still shortcomings." Shan Shuang lowered his eyes and looked at him: "The mainland has still become a wasteland, and the nobles have died. Although the innocent incompetents have been rescued, but..."

   "It doesn't matter." Su Ming'an said: "You will wait until the day when the results are spread across the continent. At that time, all the incompetent will awaken their abilities, and malice will no longer exist."

"…Um."

   "But I didn't expect that at that time, you would make such a decision." Su Ming'an was referring to the single and double at noon.

   At that time, she took the initiative to share the malice in him, allowing him to be suppressed at that time. Even if he leaves this world, malice will not have any effect on him, and the shadow state greatly increases his strength.

   And the price is that the second commander of the revolutionary army who took the initiative to share the maliciousness will have a hard time seeing the light.

   She will, like the Revelation, lock herself in the dark, waiting for the outbreak of malice, and then die.

   She became the dragon of this generation.

   But fortunately, there will be no next-generation dragons.

   Because the admirable experiment succeeded.

   After her death, there will be no more victims.

  Everyone has a bright future.

   The lid in her hand was lifted lightly, the fragrance of the wine spread farther and farther, the ends of her crimson eyes slightly bowed down, her eyes glanced over, and she handed him the flask.

   "I'm not a hero, I'm just a survivor. To be able to do this is my contribution." She said: "Don't mention these spoilers, I don't regret it, drink it."

   She knew that she had been a joke along the way, leading a band of bandit-like revolutionary troops, burning, killing and looting, to overthrow the so-called tyranny, and finally ushered in an ending that was written by others long ago.

   She had long been ready to dedicate her whole life to the mainland, and when she learned that she was still useful and could help others share the malice, she finally found some value in life.

Even if she can't see the light again, even if she has to stay in the dark until she dies, it doesn't matter to her, her relatives and friends have already died on the way, and she is the only one left. In the future, she is willing to become the [Victim] in her mouth.

   However, this time it was not the natural victim she hated the most, it was purely voluntary.

   Voluntary sacrifice... Then there's nothing wrong with it, right? It's not a slap in the face.

   The aroma of wine that tasted similar to what she had drunk in the past awakened her distant memory, and the wind on her face was full of red air, gradually dyeing her soulless look to life.

"Everything is being arranged. I have said goodbye to my subordinates, and I don't care about these matters. They understand it very well." Shanshuang said: "It's still being rectified recently, and tomorrow, we will fix it as soon as possible. The truth, as well as the talent awakening array, spread out, you are all heroes of the mainland, we all remember this."

   "Including the Holy Revelation?"

   "Naturally, what else?"

   "I thought that in order to cover up your embarrassment, you would forcibly rewrite history as a victor and portray Shengqi as a villain." Su Mingan said with a smile: "This kind of thing is too normal."

   "We did lose to him, both strategically and strategically." Shanshuang squeezed the jug unhappily: "...But I have to admit that you and this guy are both too great to be scary."

   "I'm not great." Su Mingan said.

   "You are great."

   "I don't." Su Ming'an said.

   He looked at the girl's unhappy expression, thought about it, and added:

   "You should have seen it too, and Hui Shuhang has seen it too. I'm just a successor, a passer-by. A truly great person has long since died. Like Shengqi, he died before the final victory."

  Single and double smiled.

   She smiled, and the jug made a crisp swaying sound.

   "—then what is the difference between you and admiration?"

  Su Mingan was silent for a moment.

"The pioneers are great, but their achievements are easy to flow into the long river of history, or to be used by people who have a heart... Those who can perfect it, pass it down, and witness the future of the entire continent, are also indispensable." Saying that, holding her chin, she looked at the people who were rebuilding diligently below: "Just like me, I don't think I'm not great. For the world, if I lock myself up, I think I'm too great to die."

   "You're direct."

"I'm very frank." Shanshuang looked at him: "I don't think I've come this way worthless. All those who work hard for the future of the entire continent, whether they live or die at this time, no matter their Whether the contribution is important or small, all of us are great people."

   "—Of course, I have to admit." She added immediately: "The three of us, we want to be the greatest."

   She smiled and suddenly paused: "Whether you drink or not, I'm tired of raising my hands."

  Su Mingan glanced at the jug she was holding: "I don't know how to drink."

"No, you drink!" Shanshuang patted him on the shoulder with a force like a bear, she seemed to be a little drunk, and her tone was childish like a bear: "If you don't drink, I won't drink it. The results are out, and you don't even think about who sings in front of your graves."

  Su Mingan sighed, took the jug, wiped the mouth of the bottle with a cloth, and then drank it.

   His obvious dislike behavior made Shanshuang very upset, but soon, something new attracted her attention.

   She turned her head and saw the beautiful fireworks in the sky.

   seems to be celebrating the capture of the main army, and the night sky suddenly lights up.

  The fireworks exploded in a sea of ​​stars with the cheers that suddenly surged from the crowd.

  The stars are surrounded by stars, the fire is bright, and the light of the sky meets the light and shadow, making this darkness as bright as day.

   Her eyes froze in the sky of fireworks, and when she retracted her eyes in an instant, there were still remnants of light spots.

   She heard people's cheers, all kinds of cheers. Although she couldn't hear them clearly, she could feel the almost real joy surging from the people in shabby clothes.

   She seemed to be in this group of people, seeing the shadow of her childhood.

"…gorgeous."

   Her eyes were a little sour:

   "...It's not worth our efforts to save the world."

  Under the waterfall of light, for a moment, there is a sense of emptiness still in a dream.

   Looking at this scene, she felt that the cold wind was scorching hot today, and even the jug that had always been stable was gradually becoming unsteady.

  Under the brilliant waterfall of light, she turned sideways and saw two extremely bright light spots on her field of vision, very like his eyes.

   Then, she felt a sudden heavy feeling.

   She reacted suddenly, followed by a fragrant breath.

   As if all the burdens were suddenly lifted, when facing the holy teacher she once respected, the words in her mouth were extremely straightforward:

   "What's wrong with me... You really don't tell lies, what a slap in the face!

  —Get up, get up, what, I don’t want to move you back in the middle of the night…”

  The fireworks exploded.

   The swaying light tail is like a flamingo dancing in the sky, with bursts of loud sound of breaking through the air.

  The people rebuilding their homes on the wasteland raised their heads.

  Under the blue-purple galaxy, the snow-white warbler bird moved away along a line, gradually blending with the light.

  The tower collapsed and the glass shattered.

   The sky they were looking at was shining brightly at the moment.

  …

  【Congratulations on the perfect clearance! 】
