Chapter 563 A natural disaster is coming

【In the early morning, the panda village sitting on the mountainside was shrouded in light morning mist. The first ray of morning light fell from high in the sky, illuminating this quaint village in the mountains and forests...]

　　【The panda people walked along the winding paths to the farmland and forestry in the mountains, and began their day's work...】

　　【You control Chunli's body, walk out of the bamboo house, and walk slowly towards the depths of the village...】

Just now, Mu You gave Chunli a diluted sleeping potion. Chunli in the comatose state naturally had no sense of resistance, so Mu You easily took over her body.

An hour ago, Eugene discovered an unknown microorganism hidden in Chunli and the machine. After discussion, several people unanimously determined that this microorganism has the ability to produce magic power, and it produces pure magic power, with a concentration much higher than that of the protoss. The mixed magic of the world.

Not only that, based on the previous robot's ability to absorb magic power in the surrounding environment, Mu You guessed that this microorganism should also be able to swallow up the surrounding magic power, purify it to a certain extent, and convert it into the power of the host.

 Approximately similar to the process in which plants absorb carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen.

Since this kind of microorganism can offset the force field of the abyss, as long as they can find a way to cultivate this kind of microorganism into the human body, they can enter the abyss without restriction.

Unfortunately, this kind of microorganism was not mentioned at all during his previous Q&A with Chunli, and the other party probably did not know the existence of this thing at all.

 Mu You went out this time to go directly to the old lady medicine to ask for information about this microorganism.

This old man seems to be the eldest panda among the pandas, and may know something. Moreover, the texts written by this man when he met Chunli twice made Mu You feel that the other party may have discovered his existence and was just out of curiosity. Certain considerations did not defeat him.

　　【Many of your fellow tribesmen greeted you along the road, but you turned a blind eye and walked straight into the depths of the village...】

【You came to a hut in the forest. The surrounding fields were filled with various potions and medicinal materials. From the direction of the bamboo hut, there was also a faint fragrance of medicine...】

　　【You stepped forward and knocked on the door...】

【The door opened quickly, and an old panda appeared at the door. It was Grandma Yao. When she saw your figure, she was stunned: "Chunli, why did you..."】

【The old man suddenly stopped talking, looked you up and down, and quickly shook his head: "No, you are not Chunli..."】

"You are the one who has been hiding next to Chunli these two days, right?" The old man didn't seem too surprised by your appearance. 】

　　　"Yes." You nodded and acknowledged this. 】

"Come in..." The old man opened the door and walked into the house first, picking up a teapot and slowly brewing tea. 】

　　【You enter the house and see the magic stove and cauldron placed in the center of the house, and the strong smell of herbs comes from it...】

["I'm making you laugh. There is a shortage of magic potions in the Garden of Eden, and I don't have a teacher to teach me. I'm afraid that this little bit of magic I've figured out by myself won't catch the eyes of an expert like you..." The old man laughed at himself and brewed a cup. Tea is placed in front of you. 】

["When I saw those two bottles of epic potion before, I knew that Chunli must be hiding something, because the two bottles of potion had just been refined not long ago, which shows that there must be a high-level potion master beside her, plus what happened before In the battle in the sky, I can guess what Chunli went through." The old man sat down on the other side of the table and spoke slowly, then suddenly raised his head and took a closer look at you: "You should be a fool. Bar?"】

  【"Oh? How did you know?"】

Mu You asked subconsciously, but as soon as he asked, he realized that the ability to change skin into another person's body is only possessed by fools. He probably judged it because of this.

However, the old man's answer was beyond his expectation.

　　　"Because, I once saw a fool here."]

  【“Have you seen the Fool? In the Garden of Eden?”】

Mu You asked in surprise.

"Yes, that alchemist named Tarif Kent left a deep impression on me when I was young..." The old man recalled the past with sadness. 】

 “Tarif Kent…”

　Mu You has an impression of this name.

 At the beginning, he was summoned by a thought in the garbage dump of Clockwork City, and finally picked up the mechanical heart in the smelly ditch.

 At that time, an image flashed across the Heart of Machinery. The person in the image claimed to be the ‘final masterpiece’, that is, the manufacturer of the TK2300 skin. His name was ‘Tarif Kent’.

 The maker of mecha skins has indeed been to the Garden of Eden!

In this way, it makes sense why the skin of the mecha had the feeling of "fallen leaves returning to their roots" before. The mechanical heart was probably brought out of the Garden of Eden by this person!

  【You ask the old man about Kent's deeds. 】

"I don't know much about Kent. After all, he was a big shot at the time, and I was just a little girl who had just joined the Garden of Eden, and I had only met him a few times."]

"Kent is a nice guy, with a sense of humor. He will give us new kids some small gifts, but occasionally he will say some irrelevant things..." the old man recalled intermittently. 】

  【“What does ‘big shot’ mean?” you asked. 】

["Kent holds the position of mechanical maintainer here, which is an important job. He seems to have some special mechanical ability, and these robots have to reuse him. At the same time, he is also the only one who can freely enter and exit the robots. Creatures in the territory. One time, by coincidence, I heard him and Eva arguing. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand it. The content of their discussion was too advanced. They talked about the progress of civilization and the future of the world. To me, It's too far away..." The old man shook his head and sighed. 】

　　""Eva?" You noticed the strange name mentioned in the old man's words. 】

"Eva is the 'host', a virtual existence, the leader of the entire robot race, and the controller of the Garden of Eden."

"Artificial intelligence?" Mu You estimated that this was the 'host' that he had forcibly replaced before. It was the 'master brain' of all robots.

　　　"What happens next?" you ask. 】

["Afterwards, there seemed to be differences between Kent and Eva. About a year after I came here, one day, Kent suddenly fled the Garden of Eden, and the robots seemed to be very angry at his betrayal and mobilized troops. , sent a large number of robots out to hunt, but it seemed that they could not catch up. Soon the robots retreated and sealed the sky, completely cutting off contact with the outside world."]

　　【The old man looked at you and said with emotion: "You are the second outsider to come here in so many years."】

"Kent once told me before leaving that Eva has no emotions, only cold data and rational weighing and judgment. He will find more favorable evidence and then come back to convince them..."]

Mu You couldn't help but remain silent when he saw this.

The reason why the robots are chasing Kent so madly is of course not because of 'anger', but because he took away the mechanical heart.

 As for what Kent calls "evidence", he should be referring to the research on mecha skin.

 After he went out, he found cooperation with the goblins and finally succeeded in proving the possibility of human-machine integration.

However, before he could carry forward the experimental results, he was stabbed in the back by the goblin and died... Mu You shook his head, put aside Kent's questions for the time being, and asked about business.

　　【You ask the old man whether any manipulations were done by robots to the panda clan when they were plunged into the abyss. 】

"I guess what you want to ask about is 'vaccine'." The old man said. 】

【"vaccine?"】

["About 1,800 years ago, the homeland of our Pandaren clan suddenly disappeared. A large number of Pandaren died mysteriously, and the remaining Pandaren were also displaced. Just when the clan was about to be exterminated, these robots from the underground suddenly Appeared, claiming to be the 'savior', selected a thousand healthy young pandas from among us, half male and female, and took us underground, while the other middle-aged and old pandas were abandoned."]

["The robots injected a white reagent into each of us selected Pandaren. They called it a 'vaccine'. It is said to be a benign medicine that allows us to adapt to underground life and live a life without any disease or disaster." drug."】

["Then we were taken to the Garden of Eden by them and assigned a mountain range as a place to stay. A thousand tribesmen rebuilt the Pandaren civilization here step by step. Until today, our population has expanded by twenty More than twice that, reaching more than 20,000..."]

Mu You was startled when he saw this. One race can only rescue a thousand people? Much less than expected…

　　【You ask the old man, have the newborn pandas been vaccinated? 】

"No, according to the robot, it seems that the effect of the vaccine can be transmitted from mother to child, so offspring born naturally here do not need to be vaccinated." The old man replied. 】

"so…"

Mu You touched his chin. From the looks of it, this kind of ‘vaccine’ is relatively precious.

The reason why we only save a thousand people is not because we don't want to save more, but because the 'vaccine' is limited. Only by treating a thousand people of each race as 'seeds' and giving them land to allow them to reproduce naturally and expand the ethnic group can we save a thousand people. It is the most economical way to 'vaccine'.

　　【You ask the elderly, where can you find this vaccine? 】

["I don't know about this. We are the last race to enter the Garden of Eden. After us, this kind of vaccine has never appeared again. Even if it does, it must be in those factories controlled by robots. No living thing has a chance. See you." The old man shook his head. 】

 Sure enough, you still have to find it yourself... Mu You regretted it for a moment and realized that it was not that easy.

　　【At this time, the old man looks at you and sighs: "You'd better leave quickly."】

　　【You heard this and were about to leave, but the old man shook his head and said, "I'm not asking you to leave my house, but I'm asking you to leave the Garden of Eden."】

"The host here is equivalent to an omniscient and omnipotent 'god'. You can't even hide it from me, so how can you hide it from the 'god'? Leave as soon as possible before it wakes up." The old man advised. 】

[After speaking, the old man hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Also, if you have the ability, please take Chunli away with you. She has always yearned for the outside world... But if you can't do it, please don't give her hope anymore. She is a simple child, and I just hope that she can live her life in peace."]

　　【You promised the old man, then said goodbye and left...】

Mu You didn't say much. Even if the old man didn't remind him, he was ready to leave.

He is weak here. If the host wakes up and those robots swarm up, he will definitely not be an opponent. It is best to withdraw first and come back when he is fully prepared.

But before leaving, he planned to take another look at the ‘sleeping area’. These robots spare no effort to raise creatures here. It is impossible for them to have no purpose, and the real purpose is probably hidden in the dormant area. After all, that is the final destination of all Eden creatures.

　　His eyes and ears are mixed during the day, so this kind of thing has to wait until nightfall before we can find an opportunity to act.

Just when Mu You was thinking about how to act tonight.

 In the real world, on the island outside the exit of Server 2.

 “Woo…”

 The huge octopus suddenly emerged from the bottom of the lake with a mournful cry, directly exposed to the eyes of countless players.

However, the octopus turned a blind eye to the large number of players below. After crawling out of the bottom of the lake, he hurriedly fled for his life with the small octopuses all over his body, and finally disappeared into the sea at the edge of the island.

 Next, just when the players were breathing a sigh of relief and rejoicing that they survived the disaster, a large number of giant creatures suddenly crawled out of the bottom of the lake.

This time it was crabs and giant shrimps. Each one was several meters to tens of meters long. After emerging from the bottom of the lake, these shrimp soldiers and crab generals waved their butcher knives at the surrounding players without hesitation.

This was not over yet. A few minutes later, a sky-long elephant trunk poked out from the bottom of the lake, its width almost occupying the entire lake surface.

At the same time, streams of white mist erupted from the pores on the elephant trunk, covering the island in a white mist in the blink of an eye.

Players who were in the white mist soon discovered that all the props were useless. At the same time, their bodies gradually became heavier and their movements became slower and slower. Some of them with poor health even turned to stone and fell into a deep sleep.

 However, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals who were chasing after them from behind could not feel any mercy because of this, and waved their claws mercilessly at these petrified players...

As more and more players were hunted to death, the news quickly spread back to the forums and quickly became a hot topic.

　　《The season of natural disasters has arrived! All players evacuate the real world immediately! 》

Only ten minutes after the white fog appeared, a reminder post from the Dragon Group appeared on the homepage of the forum and was constantly pinned to the top.

At the same time, major countries and forces around the world have also found the most convenient way to start publicity, asking all players to evacuate the real world urgently, and those who have not entered should not try to enter again.

Not long after Bai Wu appeared, Mu You also immediately received news from the city owners group, and learned the whole story immediately.

“Is this... a mirage actually coming through?” Solomon asked in the group.

Although it is a question, the city lords who have first-hand information know in their hearts that there is no other possibility except mirage tapir.

 Obviously, the mirage tapir did not fall into deep sleep again after being woken up by them last time. Instead, it found a teleportation point not far from its habitat. At this moment, it was obvious that it planned to pass through the teleportation point and come here.

"It's okay if the mirage tapir comes over, but the worst thing is that it won't land in the world over there anymore. The key is..." Bluebeard didn't finish his message, but everyone understood what he meant.

The island over there is connected to an entrance to the Star Spirit Realm. Even if the mirage tapir comes to the island, if it finds the entrance to the server again, wouldn't it mean that even the Star Spirit World will suffer?

 A natural disaster beast that is invincible in the real world has arrived in the star spirit world... The picture is so beautiful that no one dares to continue imagining it.
