The dark red sky makes it difficult to tell the difference between day and night, the cold wind stings the skin like a knife, and the dry and cracked earth underfoot is barren of grass. In this desolate world, it seems that only the air that permeates the air is permeating with every breath. The turbid mist that erodes into the body.
After entering the zero dream, Liao Ji opened his eyes, looked around, and finally looked up at the sky where there was no sun or moon, only a scarlet sky that looked like a river of blood. Finally, as if he had expected it. Shaked his head.
Both Kyle Technology and the Black Fire Gang are right.
Dream Zero is indeed the old world.
The scene before Liao Ji's eyes was almost exactly the same as the scene in the original game, full of depression and deathly silence. The creatures in this era were like drowning people in the ocean called the Sea of Disaster.
Once you give up your upward struggle, the thick turbid red mist around you will make it difficult to breathe, distorted and weird illusions will appear in front of your eyes, and the manic whispers from the abyss will ring in your ears. The final ending may be just like the name of the game. .
come down.
Falling into the deep sea, being assimilated into a part of the turmoil,
Logically speaking, "dreams" should be beautiful.
It represents what people can't get in reality, so they use "dreaming" to satisfy themselves.
But there is no doubt that the words "old world" and "beautiful" in front of us have no connection at all.
Then Liao Ji could think of only one reason why "Zero" could have such a dream.
It's like no matter how beautiful the world is, it will be cruel and merciless if you lose something precious. And no matter how bad the world is, as long as the people around you are still there, maybe it will still be beautiful?
Liao Ji's thoughts were forced to stop, because not far ahead, an old man in ragged clothes appeared. He was wearing a rough crutch, limping, walking with difficulty, and looking back in panic from time to time. , as if afraid of catching up again.
Liao Ji has seen this kind of character many times in the game, and it is also the most common type of escapee in the old world.
Although Dream Zero is a dream, it is almost real. Naturally, besides the old world, there are also many living beings struggling in the old world.
Liao Ji set off immediately. These aborigines of Dream Zero were undoubtedly his fastest source of information about this dream.
The sudden sound of footsteps from the side obviously startled the old man. When he saw Liao Ji approaching, before Liao Ji could get closer, the old man accelerated his steps in a panic, trying to escape from Liao Ji.
As a result, my legs and feet were already weak. I was in a hurry to escape. Before I could even take two or three steps, I tripped over a stone under my feet and fell to the ground with a scream.
"Don't come here, don't kill me. I have nothing left. Please let me go, please."
The old man who fell to the ground seemed to realize that he could not escape. Then he huddled together humbly, buried his head deeply between his arms like an ostrich, and kept pleading in the direction of Liao Ji's footsteps.
"Old sir, you get up first, I'm not a scavenger."
"No, not a scavenger?" The old man's cloudy eyes timidly glanced at Liao Ji through the gap between his arms.
"I am the fire bearer of the nearby gathering place. I happen to be patrolling here. Looking at your panic, did something happen nearby?"
Fire bearers are the name for warriors in gathering places in the old world. Seeing that Liao Ji's tone was gentle, his appearance was gentle, and his clothes were indeed different from those ferocious scavengers, the fleeing old man gradually let go of his fear and trembled from the ground. Get back on your feet.
"No, it's nothing. It's nothing. It doesn't matter anymore. Let me go. Let me go."
Liao Ji's words seemed to stimulate the old man, making him think of something he didn't want to remember. However, the painful expression on the old man's face soon turned into numbness. In his eyes that had lost their luster, the only thing that seemed to support him was "survival" This instinct came over, and he continued to use the crutches, trying to escape into the distance in a daze, like a walking corpse. No matter what Liao Ji did, he seemed unable to communicate.
However, at this moment, the mutation suddenly reappeared. Not far away from the two of them, the turbid red mist in the air stirred, and then a terrifying shadow the size of a small hill emerged from the distant horizon. .
Seeing this huge shadow, the old man froze in place, but the shadow did not stop. It seemed to have discovered the old man and Liao Ji, and began to move quickly.
The body, which was almost the same as a big truck, made the earth tremble. In a few breaths, it had reached a distance of more than ten meters. It looked like an elephant that had been magnified many times, with two sharp horns at the corners of its mouth. The teeth were still bloody, as if they had just been stained with blood not long ago. The festering and rotten skin on the surface, as well as the restless red mist around it, all showed its identity as a turbulent monster.
"The Horror Beast. It's the Horror Beast. Haha, is that so? I knew it was over. It's finally over, hahaha."
Facing the terrifying beast, the old man seemed to know that he had nowhere to escape. Instead, he was no longer afraid, but let out a maniacal laugh. He threw away the crutch in his hand and opened his arms, as if waiting for the terrifying beast. The fangs pierced his body.
Then.
Buzz.
The old man first heard the sound of some kind of weapon charging from behind, followed closely by a burst of blue light, which was extremely conspicuous in this dark red world, filling the corner of the old man's eyes.
after next moment
"Order: Shoot."
A cold and ruthless mechanical sound sounded, and a light blue beam of light flashed past the old man's back, followed by a "bang!", and the head of the terrifying beast the size of a small mountain was pierced by the blue laser. He fell crookedly to the ground, splashing a large amount of dust.
"This power is."
The old man was confused at first, but when he came to his senses, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, and there was a bit more color in his dim eyes. He turned around tremblingly, and when he saw Liao Ji appeared next to him, the muzzle of the aerial cannon was still there. When the smoking maid 86 appeared, his cloudy eyes stared at 86, and he knew that his whole body was shaking with excitement.
"Servant. It's a servitor!"
But after the excitement, the old man quickly shook his head and said to himself: "No, no, the servitors should be on the front line, and they should all be killed by the witch."
"Servants always act in groups. Why are there individual individuals? Why are there still servitors that won't have any communication with us? But why. Why is this servitor..."
I don't know if he has not left the madness of the terrifying beast just now, but this time the old man took the initiative to run in front of Liao Ji, no, it should be said that he was in front of 86.
He kept mumbling something quickly and kept casting shocked and disbelieving looks at 86.
"It is detected that the target individual is mentally unstable and his vital signs are declining rapidly. It is recommended to perform anesthesia surgery immediately. No. 86 suggested this to the owner."
The maid just spoke, but before Liao Ji could say anything, the old man seemed to have heard something extremely incredible. He took a few steps back, and then finally turned his eyes from the maid to Liao Ji.
"What do you call him!?"
"Master? No. 86 tilted his head and asked matter-of-factly."
