Strange Rejection, The Federation's Response

Thinking of this, Gao Linzhi recalled the Northern Bear City he had visited before.

There, he saw a bizarre creation that produced a post-apocalyptic survival game.

It is by using this Path of Survival that we collect the emotional energy of survivors.

I wonder what that strange creature has become now.

Gao Linzhi went to check immediately.

He flew directly into the air, bursting through the air at supersonic speed, heading straight for his target.

Many people on the ground looked up at the sky.

"Damn it, someone can actually fly!"

"Before long, the world will probably be destroyed!"

"Airspace should be controlled!"

"I really envy him; he's a true leader of the new era!"

Gao Linzhi quickly arrived at the northern Bear City.

As expected.

The bizarre scenario that was originally created as a post-apocalyptic survival scenario in the city center has now shrunk considerably.

It has shrunk from the size of a community to just one building.

But there were many people inside this building.

There are at least several thousand people on each floor.

These people are all stacked up, almost like piles of stones.

They lived in a four-poster bed.

The distance between those beds was only 50 centimeters.

People can only sleep flat on their backs.

This strange creature seems to be in charge of their eating, drinking, and excretion.

And these people are now acting as batteries for the bizarre.

Like a battery, it provides spiritual energy to sustain its existence in the real world.

Gao Linzhi.

This is the real world's counterattack.

Similar to the body's rejection reaction.

It's an instinct; it doesn't require conscious control.

When a foreign object is present, the body will automatically mobilize White cells and Macrophages to engulf and engulf it before expelling it from the body.

Let's put it this way: if we leave the strange things alone, they will gradually disappear.

It's only humans and other living things that are unlucky, not the universe.

After observing for a while, Gao Linzhi noticed something amiss.

It turns out that this strange situation stemmed from a symbiotic relationship established with a certain company.

It could be said that this company is what allows this bizarre phenomenon to exist in the real world.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have lasted this long at all.

The power and resilience of the real world far exceeded Gao Linzhi's expectations.

In the novels I used to read, the world was always talking about endings at the drop of a hat.

Actually, this is just a setting.

In the real world, the universe is incredibly vast, and the laws of physics are incredibly rigid.

This kind of solidity directly rejects all supernatural and mystical forces, adhering only to the most basic and solid laws.

This is probably the root cause of the repeated defeats of the Skyfall Game.

It would be quite an achievement if it could pry open even a small crack in the real world.

The Skyfall World is much smaller than the real world.

This strange entity descended upon Blue Star, seemingly possessing immense power.

They were just dinosaurs, really.

It has been able to monopolize the Blue Star's ecosystem for hundreds of millions of years simply because the universe has not targeted it.

And that's exactly what's happening now.

Gao Linzhi could sense that it was struggling against the rejection.

Therefore, it had to compromise with local companies.

Gao Linzhi then returned to the same city.

Sure enough, the terrifying monster could no longer hold on and vanished on the spot.

It's like a soap bubble that eventually disintegrates under the Sunshine.

As the strange phenomenon disappeared, the White Mist that had permeated the city also vanished rapidly.

People looked outside with surprise.

"Hahaha, we're saved!"

"I almost died just now."

"Seriously, we're in such a terrible situation."

"We should have run earlier!"

"But who knew that strange thing would appear?"

"Wait, let me tell you, when the anomaly first appeared, it wasn't very powerful, and some people ran away very early on."

"Yes, I know about that too. The warning sound came an hour after the anomaly appeared."

"Damn it, they're clearly using us as cannon fodder!"

"Yes, that's the survival strategy of social creatures when facing powerful predators: using the old, weak, sick, and disabled as cannon fodder to hold the enemy back."

"That's right, so although antelopes may seem weak, their chances of survival are actually much higher than those of lions."

"Damn it, we should have built shelters!"

"Stop talking, what shelter? It's completely useless."

"Yes, I heard. Strange things have entered the shelter, and that's where most people have died."

"There's nowhere to run, so we might as well stay in the wild."

"How can you build a shelter without something to guarantee safety?"

"Listen up, everyone! I've heard that there are Safe Zone in that mysterious Skyfall Game."

"Damn it, why aren't we eligible to play? This isn't fair!"

Everyone was furious.

But all he could do was vent his anger.

Gao Linzhi naturally knew that they were almost helpless.

What can they do?

The company wouldn't hand over their valuable game qualification.

The current situation is that the originally terrifying game world has become the safest place.

The people were talking amongst themselves, but they had no other recourse but to grumble.

What else can they do but endure and accept it?

At this moment, someone suddenly said, "Gentlemen, we can no longer sit idly by and wait to die!"

"We should learn how monsters are dealt with in the game world."

"We can no longer passively wait to die."

"That's right, that's how it should be done."

Some people began to organize.

"I watched the recent live stream; the villagers in this game world are avoiding the strange creatures by building shrines."

"The strange thing is, all you have to do is enter the ancestral hall."

"That's right, that's how it should be done."

"My surname is Li. We were one family 500 years ago. People with the surname Li, please follow me."

The news spread quickly among the people.

You can say that modern people are selfish and sophisticated, but you should never underestimate their organizational and operational efficiency.

Some ambitious and capable individuals began to spontaneously organize themselves using groups and phone calls.

Organized around residential communities and companies, small groups quickly formed.

Faced with a bizarre and immense threat, these people acted swiftly.

Right after they finished speaking, these people began to organize the family genealogy.

However, they were unaware that the company had already been using this method for some time.

However, they discovered a problem.

That was the shrine they built, which was not protected by the Skyfall World.

This is normal.

Gao Linzhi understood this very well.

Because the rules of the modern world are physical rules.

All spiritual power can only affect the flesh and blood.

It cannot directly affect the external environment.

Unless a certain area is invaded by a strange entity, causing a temporary distortion of the laws of physics.

In most places, however, physical rules still prevail.

In this way, no matter how much you kneel and worship your ancestors, they will not provide any protection.

It also has no effect on exorcising evil spirits.

In the Skyfall World, the so-called principle of exorcism is simply that one's ancestor is dead but not forgotten; although dead, the will to continue the family line remains.

Through their overwhelming willpower, they created the power of incense, driving away the strange creatures.

These things simply don't exist in the real world.

Therefore, their approach was completely useless.

Ancestral halls in communities and in the countryside are springing up everywhere.

The Company Executive remained indifferent, neither stopping them nor telling them that doing so was futile.

Just in case it works?

Or rather, those very gathering places of people are the best bait.

Therefore, the company's talented employees won't speak up.

Gao Linzhi naturally couldn't be bothered with these matters.

He has neither the obligation nor the responsibility to manage these people.

He doesn't follow the path of faith.

If I were to leave, I would still have to go through the trouble of telling these people what to do.

For now, he only needs to place a few pieces that will be useful in the future.

If you concern yourself with so many matters of life and death, you'll surely be driven mad by the fools among them.

Gao Linzhi returned to his cave and then started following the strange invasion on the Archipelago's forum.

"Breaking news! Breaking news! This invading anomaly is called the Dream Eater. It's a relatively common anomaly, but what's most terrifying is its extremely strong growth potential and teratogenicity. It can alter a person's genetic DNA by manipulating their fear, which would be considered a devil by people in feudal times."

"To us, he is Evil God."

"Great Goose City, a medium-sized city, is now reduced to ruins."

"Although the Great Goose Company announced that the anomaly had been quelled, the residents were still unwilling to return. They fled in droves, applying for work and residency in big cities under the guise of the anomaly, Nanmin."

"This may be the first company to be shut down because of its eccentricities."

"Hmph, the Great Goose Company deserves it. They're selfish and self-serving. Even though the strange creature appeared, they didn't immediately issue an evacuation alert, using ordinary people as cannon fodder and bait to attract the creature's attention, while they themselves quietly escaped by car."

"This is exactly how I imagined them to be."

"Damn it, what should we do now?"

What can ordinary people do? They can only do what they can.

"Yes, it's tough for you, and it's tough for me too. We can only do our best."

After discussing it for a while, everyone realized they didn't have any good solutions.

After all, this anomaly is a problem even in the Skyfall World.

Otherwise, their court would not have chosen appeasement and levied taxes only once every ten years.

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do but endure it."

Someone suddenly asked, "Could we migrate to live on Space Station?"

"Space Station? Does that mean the supernatural doesn't go to space?" Everyone was immediately intrigued.

"I just said it offhand."

"I don't think this weird thing will go into space, after all, space is too vast."

Upon seeing this, Gao Linzhi's heart stirred.

The strange search popularity is indeed based on connections between people.

However, if people go into space, there will be a huge psychological barrier between them and people on Earth.

Astronauts and people on Earth are completely different species.

However, the number of people living on the space station, and the time they have to survive, are both too short.

However, Gao Linzhi had seen an interview where the astronauts said that once they were in space, when they looked back at the planets, they felt a particularly vast emptiness.

It's completely different from what I originally thought.

The distance between people has changed.

At this moment, they are all astronauts, no longer just various labels on a planet.

This isolation might create a psychological defense, making it difficult for the strange to directly invade the space station.

Of course, these are all just speculations.

However, if someone says it, someone will do it.

Some middle-class wealthy individuals may not be able to obtain gaming qualifications, but they can still secure a spot on the Space Station.

After all, all you need to do is spend money.

A single ticket costs 50 million, a price that has been clearly marked in previous years.

Of course, the conditions on the space station are extremely harsh.

Weightlessness, inability to start a fire, lack of entertainment and social interaction, and significant dangers in space.

In short, this is a method worth trying.

At this very moment.

Dragon City.

The location of the United Association's headquarters.

Several senior managers are having an emergency meeting.

The meeting was personally chaired by Chairman Shi Zhongsheng.

"I was just negotiating with those big companies, asking them to send people to set up emergency response teams."

"And now the situation has become so serious that there is no time to hesitate."

"Another city has been destroyed by the strange phenomenon."

"Let's not even talk about the casualties; that city is completely abandoned."

"Because no one dares to settle, live, or work there anymore."

"In this way, wherever the strange things appear, the place becomes abandoned, and no matter how much land we have, it cannot withstand such waste."

"Now, we must accomplish one thing: we must quickly find a way to solve this strange occurrence."

"We must establish an emergency response mechanism."

At this moment, an executive shook his head and said, "Chairman, we have already mentioned this to them many times."

"Also, tell them that they need to establish a complete mechanism to deal with the supernatural."

"At least a temporary emergency response plan should be established to contain and seal off those strange phenomena."

"However, the problem now is that many high-level players have the ability to seal away the monsters."

"But they simply don't want to do such high-risk things."

"They just want to stay in the back, hide in the Safe Zone, and quietly develop their strength."

"Then let's use puppets on them," Shi Zhongsheng said.

"Puppets won't work either, they say the supernatural will corrupt their consciousness through mental connections."

"Then increase the reward; a generous reward will surely attract brave men."

"That's true. The problem is, who will provide the funding? Those big companies are all planning their own things now, and they've reduced their financial support to the United Association."

Upon hearing this, Shi Zhongsheng sighed deeply.

"As United Association's coordination platform model is still too slow."

"We have no right to restrain them."

"We can only let them do their own thing."

"In this way, they will be defeated one by one by the monsters."

In fact, those large companies operate with very strict regulations in their own cities.

Their own countermeasures are bizarre, with response times reaching the millisecond level.

In other words, once something strange happens, it can be detected immediately and an alarm can be raised.

Immediately, appropriate personnel took action.

They acted much faster in their own city.

The problem is that this is only possible for a very small number of large companies.

They have enough high-level players, as well as a large amount of resources and items.

Most small and medium-sized cities do not have this capability.

And that is precisely where the danger lies.

Because many strange things are growth-related.

If the situation isn't handled comprehensively, it will give these bizarre things room to grow.

By then, no one will be able to escape.
