Chapter 63 To wear the crown, one must bear its weight!
The strongest attack of the dried corpses was the utterly unreasonable rule attack!
There was no need to kill or wound you!
If their bodies made contact with you three times, you were inevitably transformed into a dried corpse.
Such formidable rule-based ability, however, was completely ineffective against these soldiers; deprived of their rule attack, the dried corpses had no choice but to revert to more primitive methods of assault.
But... the heavy armor worn by the soldiers made it difficult for the dried corpses to breach their defenses, and only during the intervals between the soldiers' sword swings could they manage to inflict minimal damage.
Groups of four soldiers sealed the corridor tightly.
It took a full ten minutes for these four soldiers to be obliterated, but before the dried corpses could get excited, another four fresh soldiers surged forward from the rear.
And outside the corridor entrance, there stood densely packed hundreds of soldiers, waiting to enter.
...
"Comfortable."
Tuberculosis Rabbit lay contentedly in a rocking chair, cradling a milk tea in his left hand and gnawing on a roast chicken with his right, continuously rocking in the chair and humming an unknown tune.
The roast chicken in his hands was a grade E prop.
It had been drawn by Brother Yi during his first ten-consecutive pull.
"Prop Name": Air Roast Chicken.
"Prop Grade": Grade E.
"Prop Effects": You will have an everlasting chicken to eat, made from air, which cannot satiate hunger or stimulate stomach movement, but it can offer you an almost absolutely authentic taste and feeling of fullness.
"Prop Restrictions": You may freely switch between the following flavors only—original, spicy, five-spice, extra spicy, salt and pepper, honey...
"Prop Introduction": "A scientist, frustrated with a decade of failed dieting, invented a total of 289 air food props in a rage. These props can satisfy your cravings without causing weight gain, and Air Roast Chicken is just one of the 289."
They had been grinding for a full three hours now.
Right on this platform, they hadn't gone anywhere else.
During this time, he rode a sled all over the area, observing every inch of space, which turned out to be uninteresting – nothing but stone walls.
With no entertainment activities available, he could only lie on the rocking chair and munch on roast chicken.
Oh right, this rocking chair was also a prop.
These seemingly useless props could actually be quite useful at times, like... the current situation.
After all, life isn't filled with battle every moment; it wouldn't be right to claim that only combat-useful props are good. Just like the Air Roast Chicken which was trying so hard to please him – how could he say it wasn't a prop? That would be rather hurtful to the feelings of the Air Roast Chicken.
"Gulp."
Tie Chui stared at the roast chicken in Tuberculosis Rabbit's hand, swallowing his saliva in longing. Seeing Tuberculosis Rabbit's gaze, he turned his head awkwardly towards his sister, his face showing a mix of helplessness and confusion.
"This thing..."
Tuberculosis Rabbit looked at Tie Chui, then back at the roast chicken in his hand: "It's not that I won't let you have some, but this item is somewhat private, isn't it? Aren't you disgusted by all the saliva on it?"
It had been a full three days since Chen Yi and the others entered the Sands of Time Map.
At this time,
the outside of the Sands of Time instance was crowded with people.
Many Yancheng players and Law Enforcement Bureau personnel with serious expressions gathered at the entrance of this triangular, pyramid-shaped entrance, waiting patiently.
The triangular, pyramid-shaped structure had only appeared recently, and the Law Enforcement Bureau noticed it soon afterward.
But they couldn't enter.
Clear words were written on a screen at the entrance:
"This map 'Sands of Time' is currently being explored by players. There are 4 players exploring: Chen Yi, Tuberculosis Rabbit, Tie Chui, Jiaye."
"Please wait patiently for the exploration to finish."
"Other players cannot enter until the exploration is over."
It's just... isn't this exploration taking a bit too long, a full three days!
One must know that among those four players was Chen Yi!
Who in Yancheng doesn't know this pro player with numerous titles above his head? If a big shot like him is spending three days and still hasn't finished exploring, then what hope does a regular player have of completing this map...
Two days ago,
the Law Enforcement Bureau and the military had completely merged into one; from now on, there would only be the Law Enforcement Bureau.
This was how the whole Federation was being reorganized.
Behind these law enforcement officers were a dozen or so cannon beds.
They were cannons that had been hastily manufactured over the past few days.
Similar to a gun turret.
A crossbow arrow as thick as a forearm was fixed to a lathe, with an electric motor at the back connected to the arrow.
When the motor was activated, the crossbow arrow would thrust forward and retract at a high frequency.
When a dozen of these cannon beds were lined up, they were very effective against the Insect Race - monstrous creatures that came in waves, like the tide.
There were two wheels installed underneath the lathe for towing.
It wasn't classified as a vehicle, so it could be used normally.
...
ps: Following old traditions, a few points are declared.
This book is completely fictional, and the name Yancheng was chosen at random; it was never intended to be a real city name.
Blue Star signifies a federal structure.
The Law Enforcement Bureau will be the only official combat organization from now on. The official side is not the main melody and can basically be ignored. Just a little imagination is needed, and it should be understood, so there's no need to elaborate further.
