In the safe zone, most of the rooms where NPCs live are lifeless.

District Chief Li Dalong's room is quite bright. Not only is there plenty of light, but there are also potted plants and flowers.

Li Dalong, this rough guy, is watering the flowers and plants with a kettle, which looks quite contrasting.

After all, he is the highest authority in the safe zone, so even an NPC has to give him some face.

After Chen Bei stood still, he asked, "Why did you call me over here?"

"Look at the flowers I grow."

Li Dalong took a pot of flowers and placed it on the table.

Chen Bei glanced at it and said bluntly: "I don't know anything about flowers. The only thing I know is succulents..."

"I feel that our safe zone, like this pot of flowers, needs to be carefully nurtured. If there is any mistake, it may lead to catastrophic consequences." Li Dalong said seriously.

"No need to beat around the bush... Let's get straight to the point."

"Okay. Then I'll be frank. The safe zone is not safe. For example, the mysterious interference just now is a big problem. If one day, the interference becomes stronger again and causes the protective barrier to be completely paralyzed, we will all be finished."

"and then?"

"I have sent people into the danger zone many times to investigate this matter, but there has been no progress. It would be great if you could help investigate."

"I just came back not long ago..."

"So I'm not asking you to go today, but tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. As the saying goes, those who are capable should do more work. You have the ability to kill the numbered dark erosion, so I can only count on you to handle some troublesome matters."

"I will think about it."

"In addition to this, there is another thing that is equally critical."

"Then just finish it in one breath."

"There were originally four safe zones in this area. Zone D was destroyed two months ago. It also became the lair of the Dark Erosion. If you go out, I hope you can go there and bring back the core components of the 'Light Refining Furnace' in Zone D. It will be of great use to us."

"It sounds like another hassle."

"It's not only troublesome, it's also dangerous." Li Dalong admitted with a wry smile.

"You mentioned two things at once. Which one do you want me to do?" Chen Bei asked.

"It's up to you. Both of these tasks are very important. If you complete either one, you will make a great contribution. It may even determine the fate of the safe zone!"

"Given my personality, I will definitely explore the danger zone again. I will adapt to the situation when the time comes. If there is a chance to complete these two tasks, I will try, but I can't guarantee you anything."

"If you say so, it's already a guarantee! As for the rest, we'll just do our best and leave the rest to fate!"

Li Dalong suddenly put two big troubles on Chen Bei's shoulders.

He really found someone useful.

The reason why Chen Bei agreed verbally was because he saw the conversation in the management group.

An administrator mentioned that the two things just now are key tasks of the game, and may even affect whether the players can successfully pass the level!

Chen Bei may not take Li Dalong, the district chief, seriously, but he must care about the final success or failure of the game.

Instead of relying on others to lead the game to victory.

It’s better to rely on himself.

-

The next day.

Chen Bei set off.

Before leaving, the family dog ​​barked at him, and his stomach also growled, obviously it was hungry.

Tengu is now very majestic and eats more than before, so he is often hungry.

Tengu has even eaten aliens, so it’s estimated that Dark Eclipse can also eat them.

"You are a reincarnated ghost who died of starvation... Come with me. You can eat as much dark eclipses as you want outside." Chen Bei rubbed Tengu's head and took the dog out.

He went out and came straight to the gate, registered, and said he wanted to go out and explore.

The team leader heard the news and rushed over, wanting to go along.

Chen Bei did not object.

"Should we call a few more people?" the team leader discussed.

"It's up to you. I originally planned to be a lone wolf. If you hadn't stopped me, I would be walking alone on the street in the danger zone now." Chen Bei said.

"You can't do it alone, so let's call a few more people. I think the teammates we had last time were pretty good."

The captain helped to gather manpower.

The result was a failure.

Tianqingse was unwilling to join.

The Seven Star Lamp also had something to do.

Only the female player named Afternoon Lazy Cat was willing to go along.

"A team of three is enough. Let's just go with these people." Chen Bei decided.

So the previous five-person team became the current three-person team.

One NPC and two players.

The three of them walked through the entrance and exit passage together, and as the heavy gate rose, their feet once again stepped onto the land of the danger zone.

Every time you go out, you face unknown risks.

After all, this was his second exploration. With previous experience, Chen Bei was still quite confident that he could deal with the dark monsters in this game.

The three of them walked on the street, getting farther and farther away.

There was no dark eclipse attacking them at first.

But there is a Dark Eclipse following them!

All three detectors responded, sometimes with yellow lights and sometimes with red lights.

The Dark Eclipse that was following behind him was sneaky and obviously had no good intentions.

The safe zone shrouded in light was gradually left behind.

Walking a little further, the slightly plump Afternoon Lazy Cat said, "The last purification really surprised me. I didn't expect it to be done this way."

"To be honest, it's quite exciting..." Chen Bei said with a smile.

"You men must like it, but I just feel disgusted."

"If you're resistant, you shouldn't have come out with us. With all the fighting and killing, your degree of evil will definitely increase, and you'll have to look for that purifier to lick you again."

"You are short of teammates... so I came here."

“It’s not that scarce.”

"You really don't know how to chat!" The lazy afternoon cat puffed up his cheeks and pouted at Chen Bei, like an inflated puffer fish face.

Chen Bei smiled and didn't care what others thought.

He doesn't care about many things anymore.

The three continued walking.

The Dark Eclipse following behind finally showed its fangs.

There was also Dark Eclipse that went around to the front, forming an encirclement.

The dark eclipses on both sides were eyeing them hungrily, attacking from the front and back.

There are two dark eclipses in front.

There are three at the back.

The squad leader paused, loaded his gun, and spat into the street, "See. I told you we were short-handed. It's five against three. There are more of them."

"Don't worry. Soon their numbers will be few and far between."

Chen Bei slowly drew out the Snow Sword. The cold blade reflected the angular contours of his face.

The lazy afternoon cat next to him first glanced at Chen Bei, then looked at the Dark Eclipse opposite, and raised his weapon as well.

The dark eclipses on both sides are getting closer.

The leader among them was Dark Eclipse, wearing tattered clothes and a size larger than a normal human. He held a long chain in each hand, which rubbed against the ground, making a rustling sound.

"I have spent half my life in prison. After I became Dark Eclipse, the prison follows me wherever I go. I am the prison, and the prison is me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an extra-large iron cage dropped from the sky and covered the area!
