Devil's Playground

Although the first mission in the field went smoothly, after all, they wandered around for a month with fear, especially in the last ten days, without the two masters Yi and Ruke, Yang Jin and Lin Yu had to tense their nerves, For fear of an accident at the last minute.

Now that they finally returned to the safe zone, neither Yang Jin nor Lin Yu was in the mood to entertain.After getting back the items they left in the preparation room, the two of them went back to the residence together, took a comfortable hot bath together, and then fell on the bed, sleeping with their heads covered, without any distracting thoughts.

When they woke up, the two realized that half of the month had passed, and it had been ten days since they left.

"It's no wonder that the field mission is only mandatory once a month." Yang Jin chatted with emotion while drinking soy milk, "It turns out that time doesn't allow it."

"Based on this ratio, Joe and the others may come back tonight." Lin Yu said, "Let's choose a house in a while, and go to the military area by the way, and see what benefits you can get after your military rank is promoted."

"By the way, my military rank has been promoted to colonel, how about you?" Yang Jin asked immediately.

When checking the date, Yang Jin took a look at the income this time, and found that the merit points and survival points had been injected into his name, and his military rank had soared from the previous sergeant to colonel.

"Same." Lin Yu replied, "Promotion to the next level requires 20 merit points, and I'm still about [-] short."

"I'm short of 17." Yang Jin took out the "Inner City Survival Guide" from the memory, "Ah, the next rank is brigadier general. After being promoted to brigadier general, you need to accumulate 50 merit points to start the promotion task and complete the promotion task After that, you have to accumulate another 50 meritorious service to be promoted to major general... It sounds like a long way off."

"If you can hug your thigh every time like this time, 100 million is not such an unattainable number." Lin Yu said, "It's just three or five missions."

"I hope we can have this luck every time." Yang Jin shrugged, "I'm afraid that if we hope too much, we will start to be disappointed."

"Of course hope can't be pinned on luck." Lin Yu smiled and put his arms around Yang Jin's neck, "We have to work harder to live."

"Your request is really low." Yang Jin turned his head and kissed Lin Yu's lips.

Just as he was about to go out after breakfast, Lin Yu remembered that he had forgotten about the King of Light, and hurriedly picked the King of Light out of the corner, and turned on the switch to allow him to move freely.

Naturally, the King of Light could not help complaining, but Lin Yu turned a deaf ear to it and told the King of Light to remember to notify him if Joe and Lily came back suddenly.

After giving instructions, Lin Yu and Yang Jin entered the portal and headed to the central area.

As soon as they left the portal, Yang Jin and Lin Yu were taken aback.

Although it was ten o'clock in the morning, which was considered as an interval between entering and leaving the game field, there were usually not many people entering and exiting the teleportation hall, but there were never as few people as this moment.

"Could it be some special event?" Yang Jin guessed suspiciously.

"I don't know." Lin Yu shrugged.

The two of them didn't think much, just made a few wild guesses and entered the elevator together.

After getting out of the elevator and arriving at the military area on the fifth floor, the nerves of the two of them completely tensed up, staring at the scene in front of them, dumbfounded.

The usually bustling military area was as empty as the teleportation hall, and even the administrator couldn't see a single person!

"Pinch me." Yang Jin took a deep breath, "See if I'm dreaming."

"Let's do something more practical!" Lin Yu ignored Yang Jin's request, turned on his own memory light screen, connected with the King of Light who stayed in his residence, and asked it, "King of Light, is there any place in the Central District?" Great, do you know what's going on?"

Yang Jin couldn't hear the answer from King Guang, but Lin Yu quickly turned to him and said, "King Guang doesn't know what happened, it can't get in touch with any administrator, but it's a smart store or something. can be used normally.”

"You can't even contact Yi?" Yang Jin asked.

"At least not at the moment." Lin Yu said, "According to King Guang's guess, it is very likely that the access rights of some communication systems have been changed, the dedicated line for administrators has been disabled, and only the toy channel can be used normally... That's right!"

Lin Yu turned on the memory light screen again, as if he was sending a message to someone again.

Yang Jin looked around while waiting.There is no trace of mess in the hall, and all kinds of facilities are operating normally, but there are no human beings, and there are no administrators who look like rabbits, cats, bears, and octopuses.

"I have contacted the tourist." Lin Yu interrupted Yang Jin's thoughts.

"Is he still alive?" Yang Jin blurted out.

"No one died, and this place didn't become deserted because of the massacre." Lin Yu said, "Things are a bit complicated. I asked him to come out for an interview, but before the meeting, I want to go back and bring King Guang out."

"Okay." Yang Jin nodded, and Lin Yu turned and went back to the elevator.

Although it is inevitable to take the elevator at this time, many places in the central area can only be accessed by elevators, and you can't find the entrance if you want to take the stairs.

When the two returned to the residence, King Guang hadn't made any progress. He could neither contact the administrator nor find out why humans and administrators disappeared collectively.

Hearing that Lin Yu said that he had found a human being, King Guang immediately left the pile of instruments in the utility room, jumped on Lin Yu's shoulder, and urged him to meet the man quickly.

But Lin Yu was not in a hurry to leave. He first replenished water and food for himself and Yang Jin, and refilled the backpack brought back from Caiguo. By the way, he tested the sales system of the non-system store through the smart store According to the business situation, it is found that large stores such as Delicious Restaurant and Zhenbao Pavilion are still open, but the number of products sold has shrunk significantly.

The sales system does not provide a communication function, and Lin Yu and Yang Jin do not know the real names of other people, so they cannot communicate directly with them.After confirming that they were not the only human beings in this so-called system space, the two of them entered the portal again and went to the meeting place between Lin Yu and tourists—the entrance on the first floor of the central area.

Tourists are already there.

Seeing the appearance of Yang Jin and Lin Yu, the tourists showed an obviously excited expression, and hurried up to meet them, "You...you..."

"We participated in a field mission and just came back." Lin Yu immediately answered, "What happened here and where did everyone go? Don't worry, just speak slowly."

The tourist opened his mouth, then took a deep breath, took out an open-top suspension vehicle from the storage, opened the door, and signaled Lin Yu and Yang Jin to go up together.

Lin Yu glanced at Yang Jin and jumped into the back seat first.

Yang Jin hesitated a little, but Lin Yu was already seated, so he could only follow in the car.

Seeing that the two were sitting in the back, the tourist closed the car door, started the suspension car, and drove towards the direction of District N.

On the way, Yang Jin and Lin Yu didn't ask any questions.

And when they arrive at their destination, they don't need to ask again.

A sea-crossing bridge appeared on the sea where even boats could not go out. The width of the bridge deck is enough for eight vehicles to drive side by side.

The tourist took out a telescope and handed it to Yang Jin and Lin Yu.

Lin Yu took it first, glanced at the sea and then passed the telescope to Yang Jin.

Yang Jin picked it up suspiciously, and then found that the land appeared in the camera, and there were many tall buildings on the land, which looked very familiar, and he always thought he had seen it somewhere.

"Over there is..." Yang Jin felt that the name was on his lips, but he couldn't remember it.

"San...Franci...Sisko." The tourist spat out a name with difficulty but firmly.

— San Francisco!

Yang Jin gasped, the land on the other side of the sea turned out to be country A.

"follow me."

The tourist asked Yang Jin and Lin Yu to get back in the car, turned around and drove towards the E area.

More than half an hour later, the three of them came to the seaside in District E, and the same scene appeared in front of them again.

The same bridge is also connected to the land, but the buildings on the land have changed.

But this time, there was no need for tourists to remind him. Yang Jin recognized the all-too-familiar Magic City of Country C as soon as he saw the skewered TV tower and the three kitchen artifacts not far away.

"Honey, pinch me hard, I feel more and more like I'm dreaming!" Yang Jin put down the binoculars and couldn't help muttering to himself.

Lin Yu returned his white eyes, turned to the tourists and asked, "Is that real land?"

"I don't know." The tourist shook his head, "The one who went out... didn't... come back."

"You mean, where did all the missing people go?" Lin Yu asked.

"Yeah." The visitor nodded.

"This is a trap." Yang Jin murmured unconsciously.

"Why do you think so?" Lin Yu asked.

"Intuition." Yang Jin picked up the binoculars again, but soon said regretfully, "It's too far away, so I can't see clearly."

"Yuan..." Lin Yu frowned and asked suddenly, "The earth should be round, right?"

"Are you still in the mood to joke?" Yang Jin asked helplessly.

There was no smile on Lin Yu's face, and he said lightly, "I was just wondering where in the Pacific Ocean I can see country A and country C at the same time."

"On the... map of the Pacific Ocean?" Yang Jin hesitated for a moment, then understood what Lin Yu meant.

The earth is round. As long as the difference in latitude and longitude reaches a certain level, no matter how high-definition the telescope is and how far the viewing distance is, the user's line of sight will be blocked by the curvature of the earth itself. Stand at the height of a satellite.

"Is it really a trap?" Yang Jin looked at the telescope in his hand, raised his hand to return it to the tourist, and asked at the same time, "Is your telescope connected to a satellite?"

The tourist took back the binoculars and shook his head.

Lin Yu looked at the King of Light on his shoulder, and suddenly asked the tourists, "They all went to the other end of the bridge, why didn't you go there?"

The tourist didn't answer, and shook his head again after a while.

Obviously, the tourist has his secrets.

Lin Yu didn't pursue the question, but turned to the King of Light on his shoulder and asked, "Can you detect anything?"

"I'm not sure if that piece of land belongs to the earth." The King of Light's electronic voice trembled a little, "but those lands are real, not illusions constructed with light and shadow technology. The reason they can be seen by you is because of the The space folding technology is used on the bridge to compress the straight-line distance between two points to infinitely close to zero, and this technology is also effective for light source propagation.”

As soon as King Guang finished speaking, Yang Jin asked, "Did the tourist just say that none of the people who went out came back?"

"Hmm." The tourist nodded in response.

"Why?" This sentence was asked by King Guang.

"It's possible that we won't be able to return." Guangwang replied uncertainly, "Space folding technology can be added to limit the direction of travel, and it is likely to be a one-way passage."
