Chapter 99 099. Ruin Investigation
"what's the situation?"

The emergency brake caught the other bounty hunters by surprise, and some of them froze for a moment, unable to distinguish the situation.

"That shaman turned traitor! He killed Oakes—"

As soon as the martial artist's companion made a sound, Xue Nian lifted the bear's paw, pierced his ears with both paws, and his head was crushed immediately.

Bang bang bang bang!

Someone reacted, and the rifle fired continuously. Xue Nian was only short and hid behind the seat. The opponent's too long weapon was blocked by the seat and the narrow space inside the bus, making it impossible to aim.

"It's the Bear Witch Shaman! Damn it, focus on him, don't let him rush in front of you, he can tear apart a car with his bare hands!"

At this moment, Luo Le hacked into the vehicle's lighting system again.

Puff puff!
The electricity was overloaded, and all the light bulbs burst and shattered. The bounty hunters who were close were injured by glass shards. Just as they wanted to fight back, they immediately fell into darkness.

[Hacked into the air conditioning system - [Heating Mode] Temperature: 38.9°C]

"I can't see anyone!"

"Use a thermal imaging sight—damn it, why did the temperature of the air conditioner suddenly become so high!"

Xue Nian remained silent, his spiritual power was activated, his dark green eyes were like will-o'-the-wisps, and through spiritual vision, those bounty hunters caught in the darkness were defenseless and allowed him to slaughter like lambs.

"Jump quickly—" Someone realized something was wrong, found the glass window in the dark, and immediately raised a weapon and a broken window hammer to try to smash the glass to escape.

[The protective plate has been raised]

Luo Lezai sat leisurely at the back, his electronic eyes glowing red, and watched as the NPCs smashed the glass, and then the hammer hit the protective steel plate of the bus, making a powerful clanging sound.

Bang bang bang bang...

Lu Run was stunned by this scene. In just a short moment, Xue Nian and Luo Le hunted down those vicious desperadoes and strangled most of them.

Although he couldn't see things in the dark clearly, the screams one after another and the experience of team formation made him feel extremely shocked as a pure newcomer.

"Give you."

Suddenly, Rolles gave him a pistol:
"Harvest some experience, add attributes together, and be the most reliable in case of danger."

Suddenly, Lu Run picked up the pistol, and after asking Luo Le how to use it, he began to make up the knife and harvest the heads.

This battle has an overwhelming advantage, not to mention Xue Nian as a [Shaman] of the [Strange] department. His strong physique and spiritual erosion make it impossible for the bounty hunters to parry. Luo Le's sub-profession [ Hackers] played a key role in this battle.

The power system was restored, some light sources were activated, and the light returned. In the entire car, there were only three of them alive.

"There are seven and ten minutes left in the masking time. I have to hack into the car's program and rewrite the destination."

The rest of the matter was handed over to Luo Le, and Xue Nian and Lu Run began to count the spoils.

"The quality of these people's equipment is so low." Lu Run couldn't help complaining as he watched Xue Nian remove the prosthetic spine from the opponent.

Xue Nian is commonplace: "Normally, what kind of prosthetic body can a poor person put on—these three- and four-handed things, all scattered and scattered, are less than 2 derby."

"I'll help you too." Lu Run stepped forward to help remove the prosthetic body from the dead, and suddenly realized something: "Hey, if the player dies, will the prosthetic body disappear too?"

"It depends." Xue Nian said, "You don't know the resurrection mechanism of the players, do you?"

"Yes. That's true." Lu Run nodded: "All I know is that our bodies seem to be formed by enlisting the bodies of NPCs. What will happen to the players after they die?"

"To put it simply, you descended on an NPC, and it also has some special abilities."

Xue Nian said:

"If you have checked your own information as an NPC, you will find that the player has signed a lifetime service with the 'Lian Ding Membership Medical Institution'."

"Lianding membership medical institution? What is this?" Lu Run captured this word,

"I don't know, but there is. It may be arranged by the optical brain—in a word, this medical institution has implanted special nanomachines in your descending body—come, give me the gun."

"Oh." Lu Run quickly handed the gun back.

"That's exactly it."

Xue Nian took the pistol, adjusted it to the burst fire mode, and shot himself in the head casually.

boom!
Under Lu Run's gaze, Xue Nian's brains and blood splashed across a row of car seats.

"Hold!"

Lu Run screamed.

Xue Nian was shot in the head and knelt on one knee on the spot. After struggling a little, he fell to the ground. The pupils of the corpse gradually collapsed, but a calm explanation came from the voice channel:

"No matter what kind of fatal damage the player receives, they will not die immediately. When your life value reaches zero, you will first enter a 'near death' state for 1 minute. During this period, if you can get other people's treatment , you can recover from the 'near-death state'—come on, take out the healing potion from my pocket, and give me a shot."

Xue Nian's calm and relaxed tone made Lu Run calm down quickly. Following his instructions, he took out a sprig of healing potion from the opponent's trouser pocket and injected it into the opponent's neck.

"As long as the player's near-death state does not exceed 1 minute, they can return safely like this."

The next moment, Xue Nian shook his head, and the wound quickly healed and repaired visible to the naked eye. Except for a little paleness, he stood up like a normal person, then ate and drank, took some medicine, and restored his health to a healthy level.

"that's amazing……"

Lu Run was quite moved, picked up the pistol, and was going to give himself a try.

"It's okay even if you die," Luo Le, who was hacking into the computer program of the transport vehicle, interjected, "After more than 1 minute, the player's character is considered dead, and Laian Ding will immediately activate the nanomachines to revive you."

"Doesn't that mean that players can be resurrected infinitely!"

"It's not that good—although even if there is only one molecule left in the body, it can save you in less than a minute... Well, it seems quite powerful."

Xue Nian explained:
"But this does not mean that you can die without limit - according to our calculations, the nanomachine can only be repaired three times, and after each death, it is not resurrected in place, at least it must be a nearby player gathering place and the main city."

Lu Run's heart that was about to move immediately calmed down, and hesitantly asked:

"Then, what about after three deaths? Permanent cancellation?"

"No, it's just the body of the NPC that died." Xue Nian said: "When you die more than three times, this body is completely useless and can no longer bear your call. Your account needs to be cooled for 24 hours—— It’s about 30 days in the game.”

"It's a shame... Will there be any impact after that?"

"Yes, log in to the game again after 24 hours of cooldown, your interface is no longer for 'Arrival'."

Xue Nian said:

"You need to redeploy, bring knowledge, experience, level and class, recruit a similar NPC character, and descend to it."

"Wait, then my previous identity, accumulated quests, equipment, and favorability are just—"

"Yes, the identity will be changed, usually the camp will not change, the task progress will be reset to zero, and the experience progress of the current level will be cleared. As for the favorability..."

Xue Nian said meaningfully:
"As far as I know, NPCs with favorability points below 500 (respect) will no longer remember you. Those with favorability points above 500 will not care how you came back."

He wanted to ask more questions, but Luo Le suddenly said:
"The location has been adjusted, and we will be able to arrive at the Netherworld in about 15 minutes."

"Get ready." Xue Nian nodded: "The difficulty of the Mingji Humane Way seems very high. Even if Li Aoz destroys it, before the arrival of the Rose Army, there should be bandit gangs nearby."

"This bunch of rotten fish and rotten shrimps are not enough for me to upgrade." Luo Le pouted: "I'd better quickly find the video of Li Aozzi and finish the company's promotional task, so we can do the task - I don't want to work overtime every day Four or five hours, I really don’t understand, inmates have to work eight hours a day, are they fucking slaves? Why not go to the colony to see meteorites.”

"Stop complaining, at least the company won't default on wages."

"Nonsense, the salary of the inmates is so little, buy a few boxes of carbonated drinks and have a meal, and then rest. If they are in arrears, the dog company KitKat Network may not have a broken capital chain."

Xue Nian and Luo Le were bickering and chatting, but Lu Run couldn't get in the conversation for a while. He had nothing to do, and started watching Li Ozi's videos and materials again, thinking about how to edit the screen.

Suddenly, he noticed his own face reflected on the monitor—compared with the thin image before, his outline and angles seemed more and more similar to himself in reality.

"What an amazing game..."

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the P-205 shelter. The three of them carefully sneaked in through the main entrance. Severed limbs could be seen everywhere along the way. The rotting stench made people sick. The three of them couldn't help but put on breathing masks. Even in the game, I don't want to be infected with any virus.

It's just that their caution doesn't seem to be helping.

It's empty, there's no one there.

"The space below was burned by flames, and the first floor was basically emptied, not even a single mouse."

Luo Le found the mysterious computer room and server, while Xue Nian noticed some not-so-fresh military boot footprints and frost-plated bullet casings on the ground.

"It seems that Frost Plating has come earlier." Xue Nian said regretfully, "They probably have taken away the most valuable information."

"not necessarily."

After the electricity was activated, Luo Le hacked into the server of Mingji Humanity, and after searching for a while, he immediately laughed:
"Frost's hacker expert probably didn't come in through connections. The method of cracking is very poor. If you look at the database here, she actually planned to use a virus to break in. If it were me, I would choose to extract the host computer like this. The authentication protocol can be unlocked by directly bypassing the firewall."

As soon as he finished speaking, he unlocked the secret database of Mingji Humanity.

"Let me see... I am super, what are these things? Biotron, anti-gravity system, biological body, virus pod, camouflage form, Brain of Theseus, biological high-voltage current, living battery, cellular computer , chitin biological gun barrel, brain wave remote sensing, spiritual communication—”

Luo Le was shocked by the dazzling array of information.

"These materials...at least involve 40 basic knowledge of the [Fine Arts] department and 3 advanced knowledge, enough for a [biochemist] to quickly advance to the beta stage (β, the second Greek letter)!"

"There are also 75 human experiment records: "Physiological Variations Caused by Ao Neng on Adolescent Males and Females: Anatomical Details"-My God, how many people sacrificed to get it out."

Luo Le browsed all the way, and soon found a special image, its name is a series of numbers and letters, which is different from those orderly arrangements.

Out of curiosity, he immediately clicked to play it:
The picture went dark at first, and then turned bright again, and the roar of the subway came to my ears, and the lights illuminated the name of the platform: Krasna Yagler Station.

"Is this the monitoring of the subway station?"

The ferocious armored train came into the station, braked, stopped, and the doors opened. A group of tall, burly, cold-tempered soldiers in black and white uniforms slowly came out of the subway, carrying boxes of ammunition, supplies, and equipment. arrival.

Not long after, a woman's voice sounded slowly:

"You are finally here, agents of Rule Three, you have worked hard all the way."

"No problem, Professor Anna."

The camera slowly walked into a young spy officer wearing a big-brimmed hat, with stern eyes and half-black and half-white hair. He raised his hand to salute Anna, but did not shake hands with Anna. His blue eyes were extremely indifferent, and he just said lightly :
"Rule three, the second-level investigator, Du Zexin, was ordered to hand over this batch of supplies."

"Du? This surname is very rare in Frostplate..." Dr. Anna was slightly surprised: "With all due respect, what is your relationship with Ms. Du Jiali?"

"It's just the same surname."

Du Zexin's tone was cold:
"If you question the incompatibility between my gender and position, you don't have to. I got to where I am today by relying on my own ability."

As soon as Du Zexin finished speaking in the video, Luo Le has retrieved relevant information:
Du Jiali: Deputy Director of the Education Bureau of the Frost Plated Republic

Kinship: Du Zexin - cousin.

"Damn it, this one is even more heavyweight."

　It will be put on the shelves tomorrow. I am preparing the code here. Next month, I will try to update more than [-] a day, and get that achievement badge.
