Capítulo 1838: Chapter 1838: Alien Tide in the Sand Sea
“When you’re out and about, we should all look out for each other,” Xu Huo said politely.
Pink Hair shook his head like a rattle drum, “No way, the conditions at this hotel are as good as any star-rated one outside. The amount of White Notes you’re offering isn’t even enough to buy a few drinks. But since you’re hosting , we’re now friends. Talking about money hurts emotions between friends. Here’s the deal, I’ll help you kill a few people when I have ti, as a way of returning the favor.”
Another line filled with innuendo. He spoke while slightly turning his head, his back to Black Under the Light and the others.
“There’s no need for that at the mont.” Xu Huo smiled, “But we’re planning to go in search of the Different Species Group next, so we might not be on the sa path.”
“No problem,” Pink Hair said, “I’m not clearing the level anyti soon anyway. Resting for a couple of days is no issue. I’ll go with you. By the way, why are you looking for the Different Species Group?”
Xu Huo gave the sa old reply, and after hearing it, Pink Hair sighed, “To think you’re still looking for them at this point. I didn’t expect to et soone as righteous and loyal as myself in this ga.”
The random nonsense he said earlier went in one ear and out the other for everyone, but when he got to this part, the others couldn’t help but turn back to look at him.
Pink Hair didn’t mind at all; instead, he smiled brightly, “Even though the ga world has gone mad, as a person, I still believe that evil is punished.”
Xu Huo nodded. Indeed, in the ga world, the strength of retribution for evil far surpasses rewards for doing good.
Since he wanted to co along, Xu Huo agreed, and Black Under the Light’s side wouldn’t refuse either. Otherwise, it would seem like they had ulterior motives, especially since they were the ones short of people.
The group followed the tracks of the Different Species Group. On the way, Black Under the Light asked about Pink Hair’s instance, and Pink Hair smilingly said, “If I tell you, will you hinder my level-clearing?”
“Don’t worry, none of us have cleared it. I’m hoping soone will give a clue to clear this ghost of a place. You can barely find anyone here… but at the Central Sand Sea, you need to be cautious,” said Black Under the Light.
“My instance isn’t very lucky,” Pink Hair said, “Dying Wish… I’ve never done such an instance before.”
“Is that so? What a coincidence.” Xu Huo gestured with his chin at Black Under the Light and the others, “They’re also in that instance.”
Pink Hair looked overjoyed, “I knew my luck couldn’t be that bad; look, my fortune’s turning around imdiately!”
Saying that, he pulled out a photo of his girlfriend from his pocket and kissed it fiercely, showing no embarrassnt, saying, “Soone with a girlfriend won’t have such bad luck.”
This successfully made Black Under the Light, who was about to chat with him, pull back his foot.
“Hey! Look! Doesn’t that sand dune in front look like a heart?” Pink Hair’s eyes lit up as he suddenly pointed ahead and shouted, then said he wanted to take a picture for his girlfriend.
After he ran far ahead, Juan Er lowered his voice, “Is this guy crazy? He won’t cause us trouble, right?”
Brother Wu, being more experienced, shook his head, “By the looks of him, his girlfriend is probably already dead. Although players don’t have extrely confidential identities, sotis offending soone for no reason might lead to unexpected downfalls, so when I go out, I never bring family photos.”
“Only the dead aren’t afraid of being seen.”
“He seems a bit pitiful this way,” Gao Dawei said softly.
Brother Wu snorted, “You should feel sorry for yourself. If he’s ntally unstable, you’ll be the first one to suffer.”
Gao Dawei gulped and quickly looked away.
As they talked, Xu Huo and the others’ expressions slightly changed because they felt the sand dune beneath them start to flow slowly. Before they could figure out what was happening, Pink Hair who had run ahead frantically dashed back, shouting as he ran, “Run! Run! So many Aliens!”
What is there to fear about Aliens?
Just as this thought crossed their minds, everyone was stunned by what they saw next. Indeed, there were “so many” Aliens. With the sand flowing faster, a large number of Aliens erged from beneath the sand one after another, quickly forming a vast army. These bizarre Aliens must have been hungry for a while; as soon as they erged and discovered prey, they began howling one after another.
As more and more howls filled the air, the extensive desert area before them suddenly seed like boiling water. With every swirl of sand, more Aliens appeared, even at the spot where Xu Huo and the others stood.
“The Aliens in Zone 010 have evolved to this extent!” Black Under the Light imdiately called his companions to retreat.
Xu Huo and the others followed, but the next second, they realized there was a problem because the Spatial Teleportation Device had failed!
“What’s going on!” Everyone was shocked and imdiately deployed Defense Props to fend off the Aliens closing in, but this wasn’t just three or five Aliens or a dozen or so; it was hundreds and thousands. These creatures had no fear of Defensive Barriers and piled on layer by layer, quickly blocking the barrier completely.
Moreover, the Aliens below the ground followed in waves. As it was a desert, sand was dug out, causing Xu Huo and the others to sink along with the Defensive Barrier.
“Let’s go up,” Black Under the Light suggested, “If we can’t move on the ground, we’ll have to go airborne.”
Nobody lacked Hovering Items, and Xu Huo helped Gao Dawei up. Over a dozen people flew into the air together. Due to the different effects of the Props, so were higher, and so were lower, but the ground was still a good distance away.
“What on earth is going on? Why did all the Spatial Artifacts suddenly fail?” Black Under the Light looked at Xu Huo and the others, “Could our Props be interfering with each other?”
“Why don’t we try moving a bit further?” Brother Wu suggested.
“This is probably not due to interference between the Props; it might be the magnetic field,” Pink Hair said at this mont, “The people from the last safe zone I visited ntioned it. The changes in the environnt in Zone 010 aren’t just about sudden climate change. Sotis, tectonic movents can disrupt an entire area, making all Communicators unusable, and even vehicles can’t run.”
“Isn’t Zone 010 supposed to have mineral resources? Maybe there’s Special Ore right under our feet, causing the interference with the Spatial Artifacts.”
Seeing how seriously he spoke, the others were half-believing and half-doubting, but they soon didn’t have any ti to ponder the veracity of his words, as the Aliens below started building a ladder. They lacked human coordination, but that didn’t stop them from stacking layer upon layer like a mountain, slowly reaching higher. With an endless number of Aliens rushing from afar, the conclusion of this confrontation seed inevitable.
If they continued stacking, the Different Species Group would surely reach the height of the Props. However, Xu Huo and his companions could move, so there wasn’t any real danger. What they didn’t expect was for a strong wind to suddenly whip across the desert, bringing with it a sandstorm as overwhelming as a tsunami!
