The Fragile Players
After hearing what the crew cut man said, Xu Huo immediately put away the Green Moss, got up, and headed to the dining car.
The crew cut man didn't press him. He simply turned and went looking for another target.
There were quite a few Players in the dining car, and the atmosphere was pretty relaxed. They chatted in small groups, mostly discussing the Alien attack the train had suffered the previous day.
It wasn't all that common for high-level trains to encounter Aliens. Of course, it was also possible the Players had grown stronger, and no longer took ordinary attacks seriously.
The people in the dining car were mainly discussing what made the Aliens that had attacked the train the previous night so unusual.
Although Aliens had physiques similar to humans, their appearance was already very different. Ordinary Players had no qualms about killing them. One Player showed a recording of the Alien that had climbed onto the Rear Carriage the previous night.
"If it didn't have scales and armor on its face, you'd really think it was a person just from the silhouette. Aliens usually appear in groups, but this time there were only three."
"That's not strange. I heard these Aliens become less and less human," another Player said. "They're mostly Players who've degenerated."
"Then how did they end up near the tracks?" a female Player asked. "After Players degenerate, most are killed or imprisoned by their Sub-district. They shouldn't be able to make it onto the dimensional tracks."
"You've been a Player for so long and still don't know that these tracks are a game-created obstacle for us?" said a green-haired female Player. "Otherwise, how could Aliens appear near the tracks? Look at the space on either side. It's like a jigsaw puzzle.
