Chapter 517 The Forgotten Land
【Mission: Record】

A random task, not even a specific reward.

The "New Testament City" in the mission, Su Xia knew, was a very famous city in the Eastern Continent with a population of several million.

With a thought in his heart, he clicked to accept, and the task appeared in the task bar.

"Unexpected information..."

Su Xia looked at the task description and thought for a while.

This is a very strange description.

What information will it be?
He got up slowly, walked to the window, and took the record from the pianist.

In this day and age, the record is outdated, it's not convenient enough, and the turntable required is hard to carry around.

Only some nostalgic people like records. They may sit in front of the yellowed glass window on a sleepy afternoon, look at the swaying leaves outside the window, and slowly listen to the passing time. .

"I will try my best to bring it for you." Su Xia solemnly promised.

"Thank you."

The pianist smiled softly and thanked him.

Afterwards, he moved his fingers lightly, jumping lightly on the black and white keys, and continued to play the soft and beautiful repertoire.

Su Xia also returned to the place where she was sitting before. It was a rusty metal staircase. She lay slowly on the sloping staircase with her eyes closed, feeling the flow of music and time.

The waves outside the boat undulate and gently beat on the hull, forming a lullaby with a soothing rhythm, which complements the music being played by the pianist.

The time of the night is gradually passing by...

Early the next morning, Su Xia bid farewell to the pianist, went inland, and headed for the big city called "New Testament City".

In the Eastern Continent, the patrols of the machine race were much weaker, and there were almost no mechanical creatures on the road.

The machine clan is divided into three camps. The Central Continent is the deep diving camp, and the city of deep divers is in the sea. Someone broke the news on the player forum before that it is a giant metal ball.

On the Eastern Continent, there is the "sky" camp of the machine race, and it is said that the headquarters is floating in the sky.

But Su Xia looked up for a long time, but didn't see any sky city.

"Is it really in outer space?"

No one knows how far the technology of the machine family has developed.

Su Xia would not be surprised if they could really build a city in outer space.

The customs and customs of the Eastern Continent are different from those in the Central Continent. The sense of wasteland here is stronger. The deserted Great Plain stretches as far as the eye can see, and there are only a few roads across the Great Plain.

The wind and sand are whistling, and the weeds are withered and yellow.

Walking along the road, the road is deserted, and occasionally you can see an abandoned bar or motel.

From time to time, you can see some dilapidated cars with only shells left abandoned on the side of the road. Most of the cars have bullet holes on the surface, and some cars have decayed bones.

Everything is desolate, everything is dilapidated, desolate and dead.

After flying for more than two hours, Su Xia saw a small town, but unfortunately, there was no one there.

The billboard at the entrance of the town has been tilted, the steel structure is rusty and mottled, and the broken advertising cloth is flying in the wind and sand, like a lonely person welcoming guests from afar.

There are some dilapidated shops on both sides of the town. The glass of the shops has been smashed long ago, and the things inside have been looted. The empty shelves are covered with dust.

In this deserted and broken place, Su Xia actually saw a few players.

They seem to be wasteland lovers, cheering and galloping around the town in modified vehicles.

"Alas--"

They laughed like free birds.

There are too many restrictions in the real world, only in the game can you be free and have a different life.

Most of the vehicles they drive are remodeled from old cars or trucks, with obvious welding traces, which look exaggerated and grotesque, full of strong wasteland style, almost every car is sprayed with flames behind, which reminds Su Xia A scene from the movie "Mad Max".

It has to be said that the appearance of the player also injected a little life into this barren world.

Su Xia continued to move forward, and the world in front gradually showed signs of human habitation, which were basically brought by the players.

At intervals, there will be gathering places or supply stations established by players.

In the evening of this day, he finally got close to his goal.

New Testament City.

A very prosperous human city.

This city was a symbol of prosperity before the war, with tall buildings and heavy traffic, and it was a city full of money.

After the war, thanks to its geographical advantages and people's psychological factors, it also recovered quickly.

"finally reached."

Looking at the big city in front of her, Su Xia felt as if she had returned to the real world from the wasteland world.

The target of the mission is at [27 Mott Street], about half an hour away.

Su Xia was not in a hurry, but dispersed the nano-robots and received various information while walking in the city.

People come and go in the city, and there are not many traces of mechanical creatures.

Half an hour later, the street sign of [Mott Street] appeared in front of his eyes.

This is an old street.

The buildings on both sides of the street have a sense of history. They are different from the classicism Susha saw before, but in Baroque style.

He counted the house number, walked to No. 27 step by step, and then rang the doorbell.

"Ding dong."

After a while, the door opened.

The one who opened the door was a girl with golden curly hair, delicate and white skin, exquisite facial features, especially those eyes, which were as clear and blue as the sea.

She looked at Su Xia and asked softly, "Sir, what's the matter?"

"Yes, someone asked me to transfer this record to you." Su Xia took out the record and handed it to the girl.

"It's him?" The girl blinked her eyes, as if thinking of something, her eyes were slightly curved, and there was a hint of joy in her eyes.

She opened the door completely and said to Su Xia: "Sir, thank you for your help, please come in and sit down."

"it is good."

Su Xia walked into this old baroque house calmly.

He is waiting for "unexpected information" in the mission description, and as far as it seems, nothing is unexpected.

He chatted with the girl for a while, trying to unearth some useful information.

The girl's family is very simple, just her and her father.

Her father opened a fish shop, and he went out to sea with others to catch a very rare fish. He has been there for more than eight months and has not come back, but he will use the satellite phone to report her safety every month.

Now is the time to report safety every month, and the two of them were chatting when her father called back.

The girl apologized and asked Su Xia to wait for a while, and then connected the phone.

The chat between the father and daughter is very simple, basically everyday topics.

Su Xia took advantage of this gap to scan the entire room, and there were some ordinary things in the room, which did not interest him.

"Strange, nothing is unexpected, the mission system can't go wrong, right?"

At this moment, the bell at the door rang suddenly.

Su Xia and the girl looked at each other and shook their heads.

"I gonna go see."

Su Xia got up, walked to the door, and looked through the cat's eyes.

"what?"

Su Xia raised her eyebrows and saw an acquaintance.

A young priest stood outside the door.

Previously, when Su Xia and Yiyi's master Zhuang Ren were dealing with the "Left Eye Group" in Conch City, they had rescued a group of Eastern Continent residents who had been trafficked to Conch City, including this young priest.

At that time, after being rescued, the little pastor kept thanking God, which made Zhuang Ren very angry.

After all, they were the ones who worked so hard to save people, and the little pastor didn't thank them, but thanked something that didn't exist at all.

"It's him, it's unexpected to me."

Su Xia really didn't expect that when she first came to the Eastern Continent, she would meet this little pastor by coincidence.

He twisted the handle and opened the door.

Outside the door, the little pastor, who was about to ring the doorbell again, was taken aback, and was about to say something, but when he saw Su Xia's appearance, surprise appeared on his face.

"Ah, sir, how could it be you?" The little pastor looked happy. Of course he remembered Su Xia. If it wasn't for Su Xia, he might have died in the base of the Left Eye Group by now.

"Why can't it be me?" Su Xia asked with a smile.

"Aren't you still being killed by the machine race..."

The little pastor shook his head, but didn't say any more.

The appearance of this savior here naturally means that he has escaped the tracking of the machine race.

"It's really great. These days, I have been worried about your safety. I pray to the Lord every day and ask the great Lord to bless you." The little pastor said happily.

"You have a heart."

Su Xia smiled and asked him, "Are you here for something?"

"Yes, the lady who lives here is proficient in translation. There will be an event in a few days, and the bishop asked me to ask her to be a temporary translator." The little pastor replied.

"The church still holds activities?" Su Xia asked with a smile.

"Yes, now is a special era, and there are many heretical churches competing with us for believers. We must do more activities to spread the teachings widely, let more people know about us, and let those believers who have gone astray get lost." The little pastor replied.

"Well, come in."

Su Xia patted the little priest on the shoulder.

In the room, the call between the girl and her father had ended.

The little pastor explained to her the purpose of coming, and the girl readily agreed, saying that she would definitely go in a few days.

Afterwards, the little pastor said goodbye.

Before leaving, he said to Su Xia: "Sir, you are a foreigner in this continent and you are not familiar with the place where you live. If you need anything, you must contact me. I have a lot of people in the church who should be able to help you." You provide some help."

"Um……"

Su Xia thought for a while, and then said, "It's really necessary."

"What is it?" asked the little pastor.

"I'm looking for someone. This is his photo. You may have seen it before." Su Xia took out a photo from her arms, and it was Dad.

The little pastor took a closer look, his eyes lit up, and he said immediately, "Ah, it's this old gentleman. He has been to our church."

"He has been here?"

Su Xia's spirit was shaken, and she hurriedly asked, "When did he come? Is he still there?"

"The old gentleman came here a month ago. He seemed to know the bishop. He chatted with the bishop for a while, and then left. He hasn't come back since then." The little pastor answered seriously.

"Is your bishop still there?" Susha asked again.

"Yes, the Bishop has always been here."

"Take me to meet him!"

As soon as the words fell, Su Xia suddenly got a mission reminder.

[The mission "Record" has been completed]

[The task reward "unexpected information" has been obtained]

That's right.

The arrival of the little pastor was just that unexpected.

Afterwards, Su Xia and the little priest bid farewell to the girl and went to the cathedral of the city.

The bishop of this church is an old man in his 60s with gray hair and a clergyman's robe, looking very kind.

When he learned of Su Xia's intentions, he immediately invited Su Xia into the secret room behind the church.

After communicating, Su Xia learned that the bishop and his father were indeed friends.

Dad had saved his life.

Some time ago, Dad took his team to find the bishop and hoped that the bishop would provide him with cover.

The bishop immediately agreed, and used his contacts and resources in the Eastern Continent to escort Dad's team all the way and send them to a very special area - the Forgotten Land!
"The Forgotten Land?" Su Xia wondered.

"Yes."

The old bishop nodded, looking serious, and said to Su Xia: "It is a deserted city group. Due to the pollution of radioactive elements, it was abandoned after the war. Only a few forgotten creatures haunt that area."

The old bishop handed over an electronic map to Su Xia.

On the map, the mountains, rivers, landforms, cities, towns, and power distribution of the entire Eastern Continent are marked in detail to facilitate Su Xia's actions in the Eastern Continent.

The Forgotten Land is just to the north of New Testament City, in a wasteland of rolling yellow sand.

That area is mysterious.

It is said that some people have seen humanoid monsters appearing and haunting inside, and some people have heard strange singing voices coming from inside.

There are also legends that there is a race of "freaks" in it, all of whom are humans contaminated by radioactive elements.

There are various legends and opinions.

Even the Machina didn't control that area, because there were no exploitable resources, and no normal human beings survived. Controlling it would only waste the mere storage resources of the Machina.

"The Forgotten Land...I don't know if Dad and the others are there, let's go and see first..."

With the map, Su Xia bid farewell to the old bishop and the young priest.

He didn't stop, and set off immediately, heading for the abandoned land in the north.

After leaving Xinyue City, the bustling world gradually faded away, and desolation and death returned to Su Xia's eyes again.

Su Xia's speed was neither fast nor slow. After a six-hour flight, the [Forgotten Land] marked on the map finally appeared in front of her eyes.

There are several large lakes here. Before the war, they were the industrial pearls of the Eastern Continent. Industrial cities were built along the lakes. The cities were connected together, and hundreds of chimneys rose from the ground, supporting the industrial economy of the entire continent. .

But later, with the leakage of radioactive waste, this area was no longer suitable for human survival, and people gradually moved away.

This area was slowly forgotten in this way.

[Please note: You have entered the special map "Forgotten Land". There is radioactive contamination in this area. If you feel unwell, please exit immediately]

Su Xia narrowed her eyes slightly and landed slowly.

The wind and sand in this area are very strong, and the howling wind shuttles between the abandoned city groups, blowing away the prosperity of the past, and bringing in the decay and desolation visible to the naked eye.
