Xiao Zhi's eyes were completely dark.

Because his heartbeat was too fast, ZERO's system had issued several health monitoring reminders to him, asking him to pay attention to his condition and to go offline for physical examination if necessary.

But he simply couldn't log off voluntarily. Finally, after repeated reminders and Xiao Zhi's heartbeat index still soared, he was forced to log off by the system.

Then there was nothingness.

He couldn't feel his own existence, nor could he feel any sound or light. He seemed to be withdrawn from the world, surrounded by only boundless silence.

Is this what death feels like?

In such a short state, Xiao Zhi was a little panicked at first, and then gradually calmed down as time went by.

He even had time to think about Asen.

Asen is the Lord of Hesse. This news makes him feel magical to this day. He had also guessed the identity of the mysterious Hessian lord before, but no matter how he thought about it, Asen was the first option he excluded.

Part of it is because of trust in one's friends, and part of it is that the difference in personality and behavior is too big.

Could it be that Xiao Zhi deceived him too much back then, or that the nonsense version of fairy tales had some bad impact on his young mind?

After thinking about it, Xiao Zhi said, "..."

Suddenly he felt like a sinful man.

He thought again about the pile of props in his bag that would probably sparkle after being appraised.

Or is he wanted as a fraudster?

Xiao Zhi thought about it, if he had a friend who, after receiving his valuable gift, suddenly disappeared without a word. He also took away all the valuable things, not even half a cent was left behind. He should also feel that he was tricked.

It seems that it is not incomprehensible to turn one's face in anger...

This story tells us not to fool those young people who look gentle and easy to deceive, otherwise they may get wanted warrants that circle the Zemen subcontinent for eighteen times.

However, what has Asen experienced in these years? Why did it become like this?

Xiao Zhi's thoughts were diverging, but he couldn't find the answer for a while. He knew nothing about Asen's six hundred years of experience, and naturally he couldn't speculate on the reason for Asen's change.

At this time, Xiao Zhi felt that light appeared in front of his eyes, and it became clearer and clearer, so clear that it was almost dazzling.

At the same time, he also had a sense of touch, feeling as if he was lying on something stiff.

It seems that his life is quite strong and he is not dead.

The world in front of him gradually became clearer. Xiao Zhi blinked hard a few times. The first thing that appeared in his field of vision was a half-collapsed ceiling. The architectural style was very unfamiliar, not any that Xiao Zhi was familiar with.

Has he left the game?

Xiao Zhi looked around and saw that the surroundings were as dilapidated as the ceiling. This place should have been a residential house, but judging from the appearance and the dust on the ground, it must have been abandoned for a long time.

The sky is orange-red, not the overlapping layers of red and gold like the sunset, but a red that makes people feel hot.

The sunlight outside the window is particularly dazzling, and even the light is red.

The surrounding temperature was unbelievably high. Xiao Zhi noticed that there were many traces of melted plastic-like materials in the house, and the surface of the metal material was also smoking. It seemed that the temperature was not low.

I guess if you put a piece of meat on it, it would be cooked through in just a few seconds.

Xiao Zhi stood up. The room was really too hot, like an oven. If a normal person appeared here, he wouldn't be able to survive at all.

But miraculously, Xiao Zhi was still alive and kicking and didn't feel much discomfort except the heat.

He looked at his hands and found that he was still wearing the clothes he wore in the game before. He touched his face and it seemed that it was the same one before he was offline.

Is he...still using his body in the game?

When he first found himself entering the game, Xiao Zhi still needed some time to organize his thoughts, but now he was very calm. Human beings' adaptability is indeed infinite.

He tried to open the game interface and found that the interface could be opened and the basic functions could be used, but the contact functions such as the address book did not work. He did not know whether it was unusable or because there was no signal in his current environment.

Xiao Zhi tried to call: "Da Zhuangzhuang?"

There was no response. It seemed that Da Zhuangzhuang did not come here with him.

Xiao Zhi tried to use the wooden sound bell again, but there was still no response. It seemed that he could not return to the land of wood spirits.

He searched the room. Most of the furniture here was dilapidated. Finally, he found a metal object in an inconspicuous corner.

It was written in the common language that Xiao Zhi had seen in the game: D879611, star date 217.

After looking at the description, I saw that this was a souvenir made to commemorate the first settlers who moved to this planet. D879611 is a resource star with livability level E. Most of the people who live here are miners and their families.

Xiao Zhi remembered that when reading the forum, players had mentioned that it was stardate year 472.

There were still a large number of humans living here more than two hundred years ago, but now it has become like this. Perhaps this is the drawback of relying on resources for development. When the resources are exhausted, cities will also decline. Such things are not uncommon in the earth age.

Finding no other clues in the house, Xiao Zhi put on his cloak and walked outside.

·

The heat outside is still unbearable.

After going out, he found that the original location he was in was an abandoned residential community. There were no traces of people around, and it had obviously been abandoned for a long time.

Xiao Zhi walked along the dilapidated road, and everything along the way was almost desolate.

After walking for several hours, it should have been night according to the time displayed in the game.

But the sunlight above Xiao Zhi's head still hasn't weakened at all. Presumably, the rotation time of D879611 is different from that of the earth. It's not even certain whether the thing that looks like the sun is actually the sun.

After walking for a while, a shabby city appeared in front of Xiao Zhi.

Calling a city may be a bit too flattering to this place. Although the city is not small, its appearance is no different from the community where Xiao Zhi woke up, and it is even a little dirtier.

However, human traces can be seen in the building, indicating that this is not a no-man's land.

A translucent cover shrouds the entire city inside, making it look like it finally has a cyberpunk feel to the future city.

Unfortunately, the patched pants swaying in the wind by the window and the socks hanging on the wall, each one of a different style, ruined this cold atmosphere.

There were no outer walls in the city, so Xiao Zhi chose an inconspicuous direction and quietly walked in.

Stepping into the city, Xiao Zhi clearly felt that the temperature had suddenly dropped a lot. It was probably still very hot compared to the earth, but at least it was hot enough for people to survive.

There may be no such concept of city appearance management in this city. The ground is full of garbage and dust. It has been accumulated for many years. It is quite uncomfortable to step on it.

Xiao Zhi noticed that although there was a lot of garbage here, there were no food residues, which made him guess that the food supply here might not be sufficient.

As he walked, Xiao Zhi paused slightly, and his instinct told him that someone was quietly following him.

He originally wanted to get rid of the people behind him, but suddenly he had a new idea.

Xiao Zhi quietly walked toward a remote place without leaving a trace, and the guy behind him also followed him.

He was not familiar with the roads here, but with the guidance of the game map, he could move freely through the streets like a native aborigine.

Finally, we arrived at a deserted alley.

"Where are you going to run? That's a dead end over there."

Xiao Zhi stopped and looked back. Two guys wearing strange silver cloaks appeared at the corner. Their cloaks were in tatters and had poor texture. Very weird.

The two men held rusty iron rods in their hands and approached Xiao Zhi from the left and right. There was a dead end behind Xiao Zhi. If he wanted to escape, he could only move forward. Their position was just right to block his escape path.

"Hehe, the roads in the new city are not accessible to outsiders."

"I saw you on the roof of the building. You were able to come out of the abandoned city alive. You must have some kind of advanced protective shield on your body, right? Hand it over. Then you can leave."

"Don't even think about asking for help. Even if you yell, no one will care."

They are both unlearned and unskilled gangsters in the new city. In fact, they are all residents in the new city. In this way, there are no ordinary ordinary residents.

They knew very well how harsh the environment in D879611 was. Without the protective shield, they could not survive outside. Even inside the city, they had to wear this silver cloak to block out the light. Going out requires very high-end personal protective equipment, which is simply not affordable for little people like them.

Now there are actually people who can walk here on just two legs. What are they if they are not fat sheep?

The two of them thought they could see the panicked face of the guy opposite, but unexpectedly, the other guy raised his head and gave them a gentle smile.

Xiao Zhi asked, "No one will care if I yell?"

The two looked at each other and felt if there was something wrong with this man's brain. They raised the iron rod and rushed towards Xiao Zhi.

"Ah——"

"Ouch..."

"Fuck, please don't fight..."

"Dad, please spare me..."

A burst of trembling noises passed, and sure enough, the surroundings were quiet and no one was around. I'm interested in taking care of the business here.

The two people who were so aggressive before are now squatting pitifully in the corner holding their heads, as if they were the pornographic ones who were swept out of the anti-pornography scene.

The gentle-looking man just now took out a stick like a decoration from his cloak, and then blasted them with a hammer. Before they could react, they had already become what they are now.

Their iron bars were gone, and their cloaks had been stripped off by Xiao Zhi, revealing the patchwork pants they wore underneath. Their faces were even more bruised and miserable.

This scene makes it difficult to tell who is the one who robbed.

Xiao Zhi moved his wrist and felt the benefits of playing with his body.

Although he is just a squishy mage in the game, in reality, his physical reaction ability is much better than that of ordinary people. He can beat people extremely smoothly. Coupled with the physical output of the soul chaser, he can't help but Want to do it again.

The two people on the ground suddenly felt a little cold behind their backs. They quietly looked at Xiao Zhi, who was smiling, and discussed in a low voice:

"Do you think he is an interstellar thief? He looks so scary."

"Maybe he is some interstellar wanted criminal, extremely vicious. The kind that are jointly wanted by the three major galaxies."

"Hey, then we are dead."

"Shh, don't talk, pretend not to know. Those who know too much will be silenced."

Xiao Zhi suddenly turned around. Head, walked up to them in a few steps, and then took out two black and round things and stuffed them into their mouths with their horrified eyes.

The next moment, their faces suddenly turned pale.

The eyes of the two people gradually became frightened. They subconsciously wanted to spit out the contents in their mouths, but they were afraid of facing the "interstellar wanted criminal" in front of them and did not dare. They could only swallow it aggrievedly.

It's over... They must have been poisoned...

Woohoo, they have to be killed...

Xiao Zhi looked at them and showed a kind smile: "If you want the antidote, answer my questions honestly, otherwise... ..."

The two of them nodded desperately with tears in their eyes, without any doubt at all. This feeling that their heartbeats were about to stop was definitely not fake.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhi felt a little complicated. This was one of the dark histories of Asen's cooking practice back then. It was called biscuits. As for the taste... look at how happy they were smiling.

The author has something to say: Xiao Zhi: Ah Sen's cooking skills are really good (quietly downing a bottle of red medicine)

Ah Sen:...
