Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3119 The person left behind
Under Angel's coordination and guidance, they spent half a day finding all the new residents of the current city.

It's just that, if you find them, you will find them, but not everyone is rescued.

There was also a little surprise here.

The absolute safety time of the safe house is only two hours; after two hours, the protective effect of the safe house will disappear. If there are corpse grinders around, they are capable of rushing into the safe house.

Of course, if you're lucky and there are no corpse grinders wandering around, the safe house will still be considered "relatively safe" even after the protection time has elapsed.

Most of the new residents stayed in the safe house without disturbing themselves.Ninety percent of them were rescued safely, but there were also two people in the safe house who were unfortunately attacked by corpse grinders.

Although Angel discovered it at the first time and tried to stop it by remotely manipulating the astronomical change power, some people were still injured to varying degrees.

There are a total of seven new residents in these two safe houses. Under Angel's guidance, four of them escaped safely; but the remaining three, even though they escaped in the end, were still tortured by corpses Less scratches.

And the three people who were scratched received a reminder of the wonderland that belonged to them alone.

"The virus has invaded and is currently in an abnormal state."

"When the individual is in an abnormal state, the body will transform into the corpse mill form, and the transformation time is 90 hours."

"When the individual is in an abnormal state, it is not allowed to leave the fairyland."

"After transforming into a corpse mill, sanity will be greatly reduced."

"Complete the relevant tasks to remove the restrictions."

"Reminder: The changes of the Corpse Mill Clan are irreversible."

When he saw this row of prompts, Angel knew that he guessed right. Sure enough, there was an abnormal virus in the corpse grinder's body, and he couldn't be scratched by the corpse grinder. Once injured, he would immediately apply a lot of debuffs.

However, this fairyland reminder also left a way out for these "infected" new residents.

- Completion of related tasks can lift the restrictions.

According to the understanding of the text, the "restriction" here refers to three kinds of debuff effects: 90 hours of abnormal state, restricted exit, and reduced sanity.

To remove the restriction, there should be a way to remove all three debuff effects.

It's just that these three kinds of debuff effects have to be distinguished.After the first two debuff effects are removed, the new residents still belong to humans.But if the abnormal state exceeds 90 hours and becomes a corpse miller, even after the debuff effect is removed, it is no longer a human being.

Because the changes of the Corpse Mill Clan are irreversible.

At best, he can be regarded as... a rational corpse grinder.

Of course, it is also possible that Angor misunderstood it. After becoming a zombie miller, even if the restriction is lifted, he may not be able to regain his sanity, which would be too bad.

However, no matter how this fairyland prompt is understood, the final focus must be "complete the relevant tasks".

It's just that Wonderland Tips didn't say what this so-called "related task" is.Maybe it's a mainline quest, or a side quest that exists in this dungeon?
Therefore, although the fairyland reminder gave hope to the injured new residents, there was not much hope.

The three infected people could only stay in the dungeon because they couldn't leave.

But in this city, apart from the three of them, there were two people left behind.

These two people were not infected, and they stayed for different reasons: one was the brother of the infected person, and he was unwilling to leave in order to protect the only remaining family relationship; the other was voluntarily unwilling to leave, he thought " The copy of "World Grinding Day" is a place of chance.

His strength is not strong, but he is very strategic.After the safe time of the safe house arrived, he voluntarily left the safe house. By observing secretly, he knew that the corpse grinder used sound and breath to find people, so with some tools he found, he completed a trap, successfully killed the corpse grinder, and started the hunting trip.

When Laplace found him, he had accumulated more than 100 points and activated the "pointer" function.Moreover, with a long-range bow and crossbow, the efficiency of killing corpses and grinding people is even higher.

He refused to leave Wonderland, intending to continue hunting in Wonderland.

Because he turned on the pointer function, he could find the exit by himself; and he himself was unwilling to leave, so Laplace respected his idea and let him stay.

To sum up, there are a total of 70 people in this city, 65 of whom left, three of the remaining people were infected and could not leave, and two chose to stay on their own initiative.

However, it was only this city. There were three cities in the World Grinding Day dungeon, and five people fell into another city.

And these five people are even more interesting.

They originally thought that these five people were unlucky and randomly assigned to the other two cities; but later, when Laplace and Gleipnir approached the door, they discovered that these five people were very special. infected, but all refused to leave.

If we say that the new resident who was unwilling to leave before can be called a "speculator".

Then these five people are "battle maniac, thief, brave man, conspirator and court mage."

The "battle maniac" is unwilling to leave, because the peaceful life in Rabbit Town is not what he pursues, what he wants is endless fighting and endless life.

The "thief" was unwilling to leave because she found a lot of valuable treasures on some corpse grinders. It was her belief that thieves would not leave empty-handed. Since she came, she must not return empty-handed.

The "brave" is unwilling to leave, because he is not a brave outside, and only in this dangerous world, a brave has the value of existence.

The "conspirator" was unwilling to leave because he was looking for the conspiracy behind this corpse grinder carnival, and he had a hunch that there must be amazing interests behind this conspiracy.Conspirator and speculator, much the same, stay for chance.

The "court mage" is the most special. He is not so much a mage as a chemist. He is good at all kinds of small methods in the name of magic and chemistry as reality.He stayed because Rabbittown didn't have what he wanted, and World Grinding Day, although it was broken everywhere, had everything he wanted.

These five people with obvious "personality" were sent to another city. Perhaps the Wonderland copy discovered their specialness and gave them special care?
In all, all five refused to leave.

And each of them has certain means, and it is very simple to get more than one hundred points.

As long as they can score more than [-] points, they can leave freely after turning on the pointer function.Therefore, their choices are also respected.

In the end, 75 of the 65 people left, and all the remaining people were alive and kicking except for the three who were unfortunately infected.

All in all, the rescue was very successful.

As for the three infected people, Laplace and Gleipnir couldn't do anything about it. It was impossible for them to stay here for the "related tasks" that had no news about the three people.

However, for the remaining seven people, Angel left them an order to find "related tasks".

This is helping others as well as helping themselves.After all, if they want to survive in the fairyland dungeon, they must come into contact with the corpse miller. If they are accidentally infected, they can only find a way out.

After everyone made arrangements, Angel and the others also left this absurd and crazy world.

……

"What should she do?" Gleipnir, who had returned to the outside world, asked in a low voice, pointing to the huge mushroom where the concubine lived.

Mushroom concubine is still in a state of being unable to communicate, Gleipnir asked her what to do, naturally not worried about her, but Mushroom concubine is the source of mycelium.

If this mushroom stays here, it is a trouble.

Although the mycelium has not spread now, Gleipnir has not forgotten that the mycelium broke out not long ago and directly occupied the fifth floor.

If there are more outbreaks and the hyphae spread out, wouldn't Rabbit Town be over?
Laplace also frowned, she was also very concerned about Rabbit Town.After all, the exit of Silver Coral Island exists because there is a gathering place here; once Rabbit Town disappears, the exit of Silver Coral Island will also be closed, so where will she go fishing in the future?No, it's not sea fishing, but where to find such a perfect white-washed beach to bask in the sun?

Angel was not surprised by Gleipnir's worry, but Laplace would care, which surprised him a little.However, he did not ask.

"Don't worry, I was in the copy just now, and took the time to check the general situation of the entrance and exit of this world."

"Although the more detailed situation inside the dungeon needs to be inquired again, I already know something about the situation outside..."

According to the retrieved information, Angel obtained three relatively accurate information: First, the World Mill Day dungeon was indeed triggered by mushrooms, and its trigger condition was "mushrooms and survivors".

"Mushroom" refers to any kind of mushroom, as long as it appears in the Crystal Field of Dreams, half of the trigger conditions are fulfilled.

"Survivors" are simply participants in the dungeon.This survivor does not necessarily need to be a human being, other creatures with intelligence are also fine.

The new resident on the [-]th floor brought mushrooms from Silver Coral Island, which happened to meet two conditions, so the Wonderland dungeon came.

Second, Gu Qie, a special NPC, is indeed in an "abnormal state". To communicate with her normally, she needs to complete related tasks.

Similarly, this "related task" was well hidden, and Angel did not retrieve any relevant clues at all.It is very likely that it is similar to Uriel's letter, which belongs to Schrödinger's cat. Before you trigger it, you don't even know what the follow-up task will be.

As for the third, it is related to the current situation.The mechanism of this big mushroom pulling people is to touch the hyphae; and the spreading mechanism of the mycelium requires special energy, and the source of energy is closely related to "swallowing people".

The reason why it spread to five floors in a short period of time before was because it swallowed a full 75 people and had enough energy.

But now, no one can swallow it, and after the energy is exhausted, the hyphae can't spread out.

As long as other people in Rabbit Town don't die and don't come to touch the big mushroom, it will be safe even if it stays on the eighteenth floor.Even if someone takes the initiative to kill, it needs to swallow at least a thousand people before the hyphae can spread out of Rabbit Town.

It's understandable for one person to die, but it's impossible for everyone to die, right?
Therefore, this is why Angel would say "don't worry".

After listening to Angor's story, Gleipnir also breathed a sigh of relief: "Although it doesn't have much energy to spread mycelium now, for safety's sake, we should seal up this rabbit building first."

Angor: "I agree to control this rabbit building, but it doesn't have to be sealed, just need to set a threshold."

"The dungeon of the unknown fairyland may have some tricky mechanisms."

"But known and controllable copies of Wonderland are the best source of resources."

"Not all the new residents are children from the ivory tower, and there may be some who are willing to give it a go." Angel: "So, control is enough, there is no need to ban it. If someone's physical fitness and fighting awareness meet the requirements, they can also Let them in."

In Angel's mind, whether the unknown or known copy of Wonderland is actually a chance.

Now that they have chosen to become new residents, they need to adapt to this world by themselves.

Instead of letting the world adapt to them.

Too good protection is not necessarily a good thing...Of course, if a huge civilization is born here, and the civilization is reasonable and well-mannered, the superiors have clear strategies, the pillars have responsibilities, and the strugglers have goals, then maybe it can be changed. Take an attitude and try to change the world.

But that time is clearly not there yet.

Gleipnir thought about it for a while, but he didn't refute Angel's suggestion, so he acquiesced...Sealing is indeed not the best solution.

Because of the decision-making, the following problems are much simpler.

And these follow-up matters, including the rearrangement of new residents and the regulations on building control, were all handed over to Gleipnir.

These are all the aftermath of the "World Grinding Day", because the situation in the "World Grinding Day" dungeon has already been revealed, and it is easy to solve.

The only problem now is the coordination and management of resources.

Whether it is the resources taken from Silver Coral Island or World Mill Day, it may lead to the birth of a new Wonderland instance.This also led to the fact that Rabbit Town is in urgent need of new resources, but the new residents are now shrinking from the resources.

For this reason, Gleipnir could only find a way to form three new teams: "Resource Management Team", "Resource Coordination Team", and "Resource Experiment Team".

The most critical of these is the "resource experiment group". The resources brought out from the dungeon need to go through various experiments, precipitation, and records to make sure that no dungeon of Wonderland will be born before they can penetrate into the construction of the town.

However, there are not many people who are willing to join the "resource experiment group". Although Gleipnier was a little disappointed about this, he finally felt relieved.

After all, those who choose to become new residents are those who are unwilling to face "death" in reality.

If the new residents die in Dream Crystal, they are really dead, and their inner fear is barely understandable.

It is not difficult to solve this problem, just find someone who can go offline and join the resource experiment group.

Although there are not many people who can go offline now, it won't be long before there will be such people... After this multi-ethnic routine gathering, there may be a surge in population, and it will be available at that time There are a lot of people.
