Unremembered

Li Aoz slept soundly through the night. He wasn't one to hold grudges or laze in bed. At six o'clock sharp, he got up, ready to continue planning his leveling route, when the isolation ward door was suddenly kicked open. He looked up and saw Nurse Nordly's gloomy face.

"Recovered quickly," Li Aoz glanced over and commented blandly.

"You have no more health problems. Come out and exercise." Before Nordly finished speaking, Li Aoz immediately jumped out of bed, carelessly dragging his straitjacket as he walked over.

Nordly was a little surprised; she hadn't explained anything yet.

Could it be that Level 5 Infected are no different from ordinary people when they're not going crazy? That's too different from Level 3 and Level 4 Infected...

"What do you want me to do?"

Li Aoz didn't think too much and casually asked, interrupting Nordly's thoughts.

"Follow me."

She said in a muffled voice, almost escorting Li Aoz to the training ground.

Li Aoz looked around with interest, secretly memorizing the terrain. His isolation ward was at the deepest part of the first floor, and along the way, he could see the various departments of the shelter.

As soon as they left the isolation ward, the number of people suddenly increased. Patients in hospital gowns walked around. Li Aoz glanced over their figures and noticed that these patients had a high degree of freedom, with some missing or deformed body parts.

Even though he wasn't in combat mode, his experienced eyes could tell that these seemingly harmless deformed and disabled patients were at least level 10 to 15. Some of them moved nimbly and powerfully, even able to keenly sense Li Aoz's observation.

[No wonder people said this task was hard to speedrun in my previous life... The average level of the patients is already so high, it's still very difficult for players in the first two versions.]

Li Ao recalled that the level cap for players in version 1.0 was level 30, and in version 2.0 it was level 60. One could imagine how collapse (collapsed) the players who encountered this task at the beginning of the public beta felt.

They couldn't escape, and they couldn't even beat the patients here, so they could only honestly cooperate with the experiments to grind the task.

"Don't let your eyes wander." Nordly snorted. "They are all patients who have basically achieved Esha self-suppression. Their physical fitness and combat power are stronger than you, a person from the Four Nations."

"Oh."

Li Aoz responded casually, then pointed to the cells adjacent to the isolation ward. "Do you also have prisoners here?"

"What's it to you?"

"I'm also a patient. I can't be more dangerous than a prisoner, right?" Li Aoz shrugged. "I think that ZX-102 Ward is pretty good. Can I move there?"

"No."

"Why not? ZX-101 is also good. Both locations are nice, you can see the cafeteria—"

Bang! Before Li Aoz could finish speaking, a sonic boom exploded in his ear, causing tinnitus and making his eardrums ache. He turned to look at Nordly, a fierce glint flashing in his gray eyes, which he quickly replaced with a harmless smile.

He raised his hand, facing Nordly, whose fist was still wrapped in scorching Aura, and feigned confusion and apology. "Sorry, I'm new here and unintentionally offended you."

"It's good that you know." Nordly raised her thick, powerful arm, her tone slow and deep. She glanced at Li Aoz's attitude, then her eyes flashed fiercely. "Don't mention it in front of me. Next time—"

Snap! She grabbed a handful of air, and a violent sound like a gunpowder explosion echoed in the corridor.

The strong gale blew Li Aoz's messy black hair, and he lowered his head slightly, his face, which was originally full of apology, broke into a smile instead.

Although Li Aoz didn't care about the threats of the weak, the series of information flowing on his retina made him very happy.

[You have triggered the task——Unremembered]

[Type]: Investigation [Deadline]: Long-term [Task Difficulty]: S [Introduction]: Some history should not be buried, and some people should not be forgotten.

By chance, you were captured by the Nethermark Humanitarian Relief Organization. Under the call of the 'Professor', you are determined to make a great contribution to the future destiny of mankind.

But is it really so?

They regard you as a 'turning point', but you know best what happened to you.

In this cold and barren Outland, is there really anyone willing to risk their lives to save others? It seems to be recruited, but no one really respects you. Your personal freedom is restricted.

The disabled patients seem to be full of aggression, and their combat power even exceeds that of professional soldiers.

There also seems to be some disagreement within the organization, and people's hearts are unpredictable. Things may not develop in a good direction.

You don't care about the continuation of humanity, and you don't care about their internal struggles, but you know that life is precious, and love is more valuable, but for the sake of freedom, both can be thrown away.

In order to survive and embark on the road to freedom, finding the real answer is the only solution.

[Progress]: 0.00% [Settlement Conditions]: 1: Investigation progress is not less than 30% (required) 2: Leave the Nethermark organization (optional, choosing this behavior will additionally increase the investigation progress by 10%)]

[Mission Reward]: Rewards will be issued according to the progress of the investigation.

[Special Note]: This mission is considered a main mission and is valid for a long time. — "Rewards... let me see, wow, as expected of a main mission. If the investigation progress reaches 60%, I can get 1 million experience points."

Li Aoz raised his eyebrows. 1 million experience points are enough for a Mutant to level up to level 20.

The Overlord class has one advantage: it doesn't consume much experience in the early stages, and the demand for equipment is also very low. Most of the time is wasted on controlling and developing Aura—and the latter requires not experience, but personal technical accumulation and professional knowledge.

Experience can be used to learn professional knowledge. For different Aura Mutants, the knowledge they need to learn is also different. For example, if someone's Aura is Flame Control, they have to learn Fuel Science, Elementary Chemistry, Plasma Physics, Elementary Thermodynamics, the Law of Conservation of Mass, and other knowledge.

These are the big experience consumers.

The professional knowledge Li Aoz needs is not easy to find. This knowledge is monopolized by the Global Trade Bank and the Four Nations, and the Outland cannot access it at all.

However, he doesn't need that much experience for the time being.

If the situation is urgent and he has to leave early—Li Aoz glanced at the settlement conditions. As long as he completes 20% of the progress and then finds a way to escape Nethermark, he can get 100,000 experience points if he leaves according to the minimum settlement conditions.

After that, Li Aoz estimates that it won't take long for him to reach level 10 by killing monsters and leveling up in the Outland.

It is also possible to complete Unremembered in one go. Anyway, the Mutant is already in hand, and he has many choices.

He glanced at ZX-102 Ward, which is one of the secrets.

"I'm not very clear about the details of the Unremembered mission. I haven't seen any related analysis of what position the Nethermark organization holds."

Li Aoz was a player from the Red Arrow Empire in his previous life. He really couldn't remember the specific missions of Frostplate. He only knew that Nethermark Humanity could acquire a very powerful feat. As for what happened to Nethermark Humanity and what internal differences there were, he didn't know.

However, one thing is certain: this organization will not perish until version 1.7.1, so in fact, he has plenty of time.

Li Aoz simply stopped thinking about it. Nordly had already brought him to the training ground, so he might as well honestly follow the training for a while.

There was nothing special about the training ground: horizontal bars, parallel bars, a soccer field, and a 200-meter track. The lawn had been worn away, leaving only a bare piece of asphalt. Several security members were exercising nearby. Their muscles were bulging, and their physiques were burly. From time to time, a terrifying aura would flow out—these were clearly Martial Artists.

"Let's just do it here, so as not to disturb Johnny and the others from practicing."

Chief Nurse Nordly finalized the location, then turned to Li Aoz and said:

"Go, run ten kilometers first."
