Chapter 175: Pidgeot
In order to adapt to the script mission, the Global Occult Alliance's exploration boat has been modified so that it can sail automatically and avoid obstacles with only one or two crew members or even no crew members at all.

The water was salty and smelly, like seawater. The whole city was deathly silent, with not a single security guard in sight.

Zhao Zijing set the coordinates and let the ship sail autonomously. He then took out a tablet computer and a dragon ball capsule and released hundreds of small drones from the capsule.

All the drones took off and flew in different directions, scanning the entire city with laser rangefinders, building models on tablet computers, and searching for exits.

GOC has an agreement with all the major guilds that every time they leave the slums to explore the killing fields, they will scan and download the detected terrain and upload it to a shared database.

Some dangerous species will also be captured and handed over to scientific research institutions, and species atlases will be uploaded to the database.

If the drone can spot familiar landmarks on the ground, it can tell the relative distance between the players and the slums.

Maybe you can find the signal station of the Whale Song Organization and use the wired phone to contact other players.

(During the mission, I couldn't use the friend communication, and the satellite phone had no signal because it was too far away and separated by the rock layer. The wired phone was useful instead)
You can even directly discover the outposts and supply points of each major guild and obtain supplies.

Catherine, a woman from London, and Miles, a black man from Detroit, are still in the midst of chaos and appear extremely nervous.

Mendoza, who was born in a prominent family in the Philippines, seemed to know some news about the supernatural world. He said to Zhao Zijing nervously: "Miss Zhao, I promise to obey your orders and contribute my reward after I leave here."

"You don't have to make contributions. If you can survive until the end of the mission, the guild you join will naturally give us senior members a sum of money as a reward. Usually, each person gets 1,000 game coins."

Zhao Zijing mentioned this casually, looking past the three people and at the last burn patient who was wrapped in bandages.

He was unconscious, and the strong smell of ointment emanated from under the sterile gauze around his body, as if he had just been transported from a hospital bed.

The bumpy ride just now caused his wound to rupture, and a lot of foul-smelling blood oozed out.

Zhao Zijing frowned slightly, "There is a medical room on the ship."

"No need to go through so much trouble." Midnight Howl shook his head. Considering the reward of one thousand game coins for each newcomer, he took out a syringe from the backpack, inserted it into the arm of the burn patient, and pushed it all the way in.

The Monster Union guild he belongs to focuses on non-humans, and most of its members have non-human bloodlines such as vampires, werewolves, mummies, and dragon people.

The emergency serum in this needle was provided by the lizardman doctor in the guild (blood drawn from his own body). It can effectively stimulate cell regeneration and cure burns, frostbite, neurodegeneration and other diseases.

Although it will significantly increase the probability of developing cancer in the future, as the Gen-Sys advertisement says, if you can't even get through today, there's no need to think about tomorrow.

After one injection, the ulcerated skin on the bandaged man's body healed slightly. He opened his eyes and slowly woke up, saying hoarsely, "Where is this?"

"Are you awake?" Li Sheng pushed his glasses and said calmly, "Yes, you are the one with the best quality among those who came this time."

Instead of Chu Xuan, he's going to play Zhang Jie, right? And why is the last one to wake up the one with the best qualities? Is this some kind of sleeping competition?

The red driver resisted the urge to complain and walked to the bow deck to look into the distance.

Seeing the bandaged man wake up, Zhao Zijing explained the situation in a few words as usual, and asked for his personal information and the last thing he could remember.

The bandaged man has a disordered memory and cannot tell his name, address or even nationality. He only vaguely remembers that he seems to be a firefighter, and his memory stops at four and a half years ago. He is the one with the longest time span among the four unlucky people who fell into the rift.

Midnight Howl said: "Just follow us. If you are lucky enough to complete the mission, you can become a player and return to Earth."

The bandaged man held his head with both hands, his eyes red, and he kept repeating in a trance, "Four and a half years, four and a half years."

From the perspective of the real world, people swept away by the rift are equivalent to disappearing out of thin air. It's okay for rich second-generations like Mendoza, who can still enjoy their lives after returning. For ordinary people, four and a half years is too long, enough to change a lot of things. "Is there really no way to go back to the time point when I disappeared?" The bandaged man said with difficulty: "My family is waiting for me, I have to go back."

"Don't think about it. We can only accept the reality since it has already happened." Zhao Zijing said calmly, "Unless you are extremely lucky and find an undiscovered hidden room with powerful functions. It just happens to make your wish come true or travel through time and space. But the probability of that is 10,000 times lower than that of you buying a lottery ticket and winning a few hundred million."

"Everyone!"

The red driver's solemn voice came from the bow, "We are in trouble."

There was a constant rustling sound, and dense swarms of insect-like creatures crawled out of the surrounding buildings.

These insects have slender bodies that are nearly 50 centimeters long, with legs on both sides. They are extremely afraid of sea water and climb up along the outer walls of the building and huddle together on the roof.

Looking around, the roofs of the buildings in the entire city that had not been submerged were all filled with these strange insects, and the number was probably in the hundreds of millions. It was so scary to see.

Li Sheng rubbed his chin and muttered, "It looks a bit like an enlarged version of the Pselliodidae family of the order Scolopendra."

Midnight Howl subconsciously asked, "You know all this?"

"I just understand a little bit."

Since he had the multi-threaded brain method, Li Sheng read a lot of entomology data and casually said: "There are three families in the order Scolopendra, Pselliodidae, Scutigerinidea, and Scutigeridae.

Pselliodidae is the only family with antennae that are similar in length and width. The other two families have antennae that are wider than they are long.”

He paused, then turned to the Pidgeot beside the Red Driver and said, "The prerequisite for becoming an excellent Pokémon trainer is to have sufficient knowledge of natural history and a good memory. Don't you agree, Pidgeot?"

"Beep?" Pidgeot tilted its head, looking confused.

"I'm not talking about you."

The red racer touched his Pokémon tightly.

The ant refers to the Pidgeot in the Pokémon cartoon, which appeared in the third episode and left in the 1999nd episode on January 1, 28.

At that time, the protagonist Xiaozhi asked Pidgeot, which had evolved into Pidgeot, to stay in the forest to protect Pidgeot, and said that he would come back to see it after he finished his work, and then he forgot about it!
More than 20 years passed in the real world and countless episodes of the anime before Ash returned to Pallet Town and reunited with Pidgeot in the final episode of Pokémon Go. This can be called the earliest workplace PUA.

Zhao Zijing ignored the two people's crosstalk, reached out and clicked a few times on the GOC's tablet computer, comparing the picture of the strange insect taken by the drone with the offline database in the computer, and found the information of the strange insect.

"Dark centipede, a species unique to the killing field entity. Its jaws and claws are connected to the poison glands in its body, both of which contain corrosive toxins that can kill large mammals. It looks similar to the centipedes of the Pselliodidae family on Earth. They gather in groups, and the danger level is 1."

Zhao Zijing spoke very quickly: "The danger level of this species is similar to the abnormal fluctuation index of the Special Affairs Bureau, from zero to five, the higher the more dangerous. We should withdraw."

She rushed into the cockpit, pushed the ship's accelerator into fourth gear, and went full speed ahead.

Unfortunately, it's still too late.

The water level continued to rise, more and more high-rise buildings were submerged by the water, and the water was filled with black insect corpses.

The remaining hundreds of millions of centipedes used their own corpses as stepping stones to swarm towards the ship and climb up along the hull. The toxins on the tips of their legs immediately corroded dense holes on the surface of the hull.
