A Toast to the Distant
There was a strong barrier force around them. Even the seven people who had just come into contact with this force could clearly sense it, since they themselves were the fulcrum supporting the existence of this force.
The one most affected was Cheng Kui. Whether it was due to the teleportation from the Inverted Pyramid or the contact with the power of these barriers, the restraints Mary had placed on him had disappeared.
Cheng Kui touched the ground beneath his feet. It seemed as if the soil itself contained a large number of black crystal fragments. This intense tremor made Cheng Kui forget everything. Deep within his heart, a voice seemed to be welcoming his arrival.
"What are you thinking about? You're thinking about Qianqiu? That's easy, we'll go out and rob one for you!" Mary walked in and said softly to Cheng Kui.
"Should we rob one?" Cheng Kui noticed the question Mary raised.
Qianqiu drove the armored vehicle across the field. A black line appeared in the sky and arrived at the side of the armored vehicle at an extremely fast speed. It circled the armored vehicle a few times, and the entire vehicle turned black and gray.
Qianqiu, carrying a submachine gun, rolled to the side and kept firing at the black lines. Realizing that he could no longer delay, the black crystal on his body shone brightly. The next moment, the black crystal suddenly burst out with intense light, creating a huge explosion, and the black crystal filled the scene.
After a while, Yemo's figure emerged from the crystal. Without any further movement, he transformed into a black line and soared into the sky, arriving at the original location of the Inverted Pyramid, quietly awaiting the arrival of help.
Meanwhile, in the same equipment warehouse, identical Qianqiu were quickly dressing, all with the same calm expression, except for a hint of sadness and pain when the previous Qianqiu died.
Aside from the fulcrum, any ordinary person entering the barrier would have their body burst by the barrier's power. In fact, the field itself is the same; when an ordinary person enters it, their body will experience a rejection reaction due to the barrier's power, resulting in various symptoms.
Apart from a small number of key personnel, most of the people recruited by the Third Bureau were ordinary people who had undergone modification. Although they could adapt to the field, this modification method required a lot of resources, so the Qianqiu Plan, namely the Cloning Project, was born.
Qianqiu is a product of an artificial human project based on a woman with a special physique. She can be mass-produced with just some materials and is used in various fields. For example, Mary's food before this was Qianqiu.
Because they share a unified control center and are artificial humans cloned from the same genetic lineage, they are sisters even closer than twins. If any one of them dies, the others will sense it.
Because their connection was so close, they could even feel the sensation of death. Cheng Kui had only been bombarded hundreds of times, but for these Qianqiu, each of them had experienced tens of thousands of deaths.
That's why Cheng Kui ignored the pain of his own death when facing them, because compared to them, his death wasn't so hard to accept.
They were blown up, self-destructed, dismembered, eaten, and killed by various abilities. Each death was shared, and many people overlooked the fact that they were still alive. In addition, hundreds of thousands of Qianqiu were placed in containers in dark underground places, waiting to be activated.
Armed with weapons and gear, hundreds of Qianqiu drove armored vehicles like an army towards the Inverted Pyramid where Cheng Kui and his group had been sent away. They were ordered to buy time, even if it was just a second.
"Xu Mingfei, can you find him?" Yemo asked a shirtless man standing nearby.
"No problem, but the barrier power is causing a lot of interference. I need some time to pinpoint the other party's location!" Xu Mingfei replied with his eyes closed. Every Breaker has their own strengths.
For example, Yemo's power of termination is more adept at destruction and time, because when he breaks through the rules, the modules he absorbs are in these areas, and the extension can only spread according to these rules, while Xu Mingfei's power is mainly space.
In addition, a large number of Breaker and near-exceptional gamers have gathered here. They all came for the information provided by Yemo. Each of them is a genius in the multiverse, so how could they be willing to stay at this level?
Now that there's even a sliver of a possibility here, we must fight for it no matter what. After all, he is Child of Ashes, and the example of Lu Li, the Child of Ashes, successfully becoming a super life form in the multiverse, is still fresh in our minds.
A large number of Qianqiu piloted various armored vehicles, fighter jets, and spaceships towards this place, using various weapons containing barrier power to attack the gamers gathered here. The fluctuations generated by these barrier power weapons slowed down the speed at which Xu Mingfei and his group could perceive space.
But a few seconds later, all the attackers had turned into ashes. The sun rose again, releasing its soft light. A Qianqiu, who still had half a body, looked at the sunlight, stretched out her hand slightly to feel the warmth of the sunlight, and then completely turned into black ash and disappeared.
With only six days left until Gheros's arrival, an Inverted Pyramid appeared before everyone with the cry of "Found it!" Instantly, like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, all sorts of methods were used to seize the initiative.
"Eat shit, you!" Xu Mingfei's hand moved through the space, slightly deflecting Yemo's black line, then it transformed into a wave and disappeared in front of the Inverted Pyramid. Within three seconds, the last player also entered the depths of the barrier.
Lu Li slowly walked over from a distance, shaking his head. They probably all knew that the Countermeasure Bureau had leaked information to them, and that the depths of this barrier were a trap. But these people still rushed in without hesitation, just for that tiny glimmer of hope.
"Comparatively speaking, I still think this child is better!" Lu Li picked up a smear of black ash from the ground, thinking that humans were really wasting their talents.
"So, I've only ever eaten two people so far: one is Qianqiu, and the other is you!" Mary gently stroked Cheng Kui 'Cheng Kui face and told him the cruel truth.
"You're angry!" Mary grabbed Cheng Kui's hand and whispered, "Do you want to save Qianqiu and free them from their tragic fate? Then complete this so-called mission. Only then can you save them."
"But to complete the mission, you need my help. I need to be well-fed to have the strength." Mary revealed her purpose. "So let me have a big meal. At most, I'll knock you out so you can't see or feel anything."
That's all for now, goodnight everyone.
