The strange lake formed in the Antarctic polar region is located in the depression of the ice sheet and among the undulating mountains.

It covers an area of ​​half a hectare, and its borders form a circle. It glows with blue light in the darkness covered by the polar night. It is as beautiful as a dream, and it also looks like an eye embedded in Nanzhou, staring directly at this place.

A fragile world.

It is extremely beautiful and extremely dangerous, so the scientific research team stationed in Nanzhou named this lake "Nightmare".

"When we stare at it, we feel that it is also staring at us." A red-haired woman named Catherine told Qi Xinli, "It has a kind of magic, similar to hypnosis. If you stare at it for too long, you will unconsciously think

Get close to it, get closer to it, until you accidentally sink into the lake."

"We are not afraid of facing monsters, but we are afraid of being bewitched. More people have been 'eaten' by the lake than died in battle, including my husband."

Catherine smiled bitterly and wiped away her tears: "This is my lifelong nightmare."

"Sorry..." Qi Xinli sighed. The general environment of the Day of Destruction was like this, and Catherine's experience was just a microcosm. But seeing the big from the small, the tragedy of the world is mainly composed of microcosms.

What the awakened ones want to do is to destroy the "equipment" of tragedy projection.

"So, Mr. Qi, are you sure you want to...challenge that lake alone?" Catherine tried to stop her, but she didn't know how to persuade her, "Maybe we should wait patiently, sir!"

"We have used your private plane to send out a distress signal, and I heard that you also contacted Zhongzhou as soon as possible. As long as the support can arrive, we will have a greater chance of winning, right?"

"Sir, it's not a good idea to work alone." At this time, an Australian man also advised, "My name is Seger Lang, and I am a mercenary who likes to spend his spare time watching horror movies." He shrugged.

He shrugged and spread his hands and said, "People who like to work alone in horror movies... 99% of them will fail, and the remaining 1% of the survival rate belongs to the protagonist."

This is indeed the truth, but they don't know that Qi Xinli's ability is to overcome the bewitching buff.

"Normally, we should wait, but the time for collecting some information is limited, and I can't afford to wait." Qi Xinli said, "You said that after two flashes of light, one black and one white, the Nanzhou ice cap cracked. Originally,

The monster that ran out shrank back again. Until now, it is just swimming around the mouth of the lake, not daring to cross the border even half a step."

"What does this mean?" Qi Xinli continued, "This means that there is still a terrifying energy left in Nanzhou, and it is this energy that makes the monsters retreat instinctively."

"Why don't I chase after the enemy retreats? Is there a more perfect time to collect intelligence than this?"

For Qi Xinli, as long as the monsters shrink back when encountering the "Black and White Evils", their strength is basically at the same level as him.

Since they are on the same level, what else can't be done?

Seeing that Qi Xinli had made up his mind, they stopped trying to persuade him. However, this "United Army" far away in Nanzhou was really kind. Even if they did not agree with Qi Xinli's decision, they were still willing to help.

"What are you going to do to help?"

"After all, we are compatriots, so I'll tell you the truth." A compatriot from Zhongzhou patted his shoulder and said, "Give us a chance to recover your body if your car overturns."

Qi Xinli:……

After confirming his eyes, the other party was a purebred native of Central China. After all, only compatriots can be so ruthless as to stab their compatriots.

…

In the polar night, Nanzhou is a place where the sun does not rise. Thousands of miles of ice fields are covered in darkness. In the lash of the snowstorm, human beings' so-called sense of direction is not worth mentioning. If they hadn't known that "the place with blue light is a nightmare",

Maybe I won't be able to touch the edge of the lake tonight.

Qi Xinli stood on the top of the ice sheet again, overlooking the lake below. Behind him, a group of coalition troops was climbing with difficulty.

He saw the humanoid monster again.

It had the shape of a woman and blue skin. It swam in the lake, as if it noticed his arrival, it stopped moving.

Not long after, it swam to the lakeside, stretched out its hand to him from a distance of several hundred meters, and opened its arms. At this moment, the lake seemed not to be a lake, but a vast sea of ​​blurred flowers; the monster was no longer a monster.

It's a fairy who wakes up from the lake.

"She" sent a silent invitation to him, asking him to come to "her" side.

There was a strange power emanating from the monster's forehead, and with the water vapor, the ice and snow shook away in circles. Suddenly, the cold seemed to disappear, and the temperature returned to the warmth of spring.

The birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and the sun was shining brightly. Some people stood there in a daze and began to take off their clothes one by one: "Why is it so hot... so hot..."

Bang - the power of bewitchment collided with the Buddha's aura, and the vibrations of waves distorted the trajectory of the wind and snow.

Qi Xinli sneered, took out his alms bowl, and patted it in the direction of the lake. He heard a roaring "buzz" sound, which was like the spread of Sanskrit sounds from a temple, suddenly waking up the demented person.

The next second, sound waves vibrated with ice and snow. The wind and snow that was originally blowing towards him stopped suspiciously, and suddenly changed its direction as if being swept by a hurricane, and rushed towards the lake mixed with buzzing!

"Om——" is the sound of the universe, which is continuously transmitted through the bowl.

In an instant, the illusion shattered, and the so-called sea of ​​flowers turned into dead bones in a tomb. The humanoid monster's long hair flew up with the buzzing sound, and it stared coldly at Qi Xinli, who took a step towards it.

Click...it's the sound of the glacier breaking.

The two sides collapsed and the middle was raised. Qi Xinli stepped on the protruding "backbone" and slid down directly from the top of the ice sheet, sliding steadily towards the front of the nightmare lake.

Behind him, came the exclamation of the Union Army.

"Mr. Qi, come back quickly!" Catherine shouted, "Is he being controlled? Quickly, give me the gun! I'm going to shoot his legs off so that he won't go any further."

"No, it's not that he was accused..." Saige said, "He seems to have a natural immunity to these things."

"Just now, he dragged us out of the hallucination." Another person said, "Did any of you see how he did it?"

No one said anything.

For a long time, Catherine murmured: "Is this the Awakened One?"

Qi Xinli stopped by the lake and sat down calmly in front of the monster. He took out the wooden fish from the backpack behind him and smiled at the monster very politely: "Monster, I have come here to recite sutras for you."

He was only half a step away from the monster, but the monster still didn't jump out and bite him. It seemed like it really couldn't get out.

But this is good, he can just use this monster to try out the scriptures he knows to see which one is more suitable for killing monsters. By the way——

Fozi's blue aura condensed into a pair of materialized big hands. Qi Xinli controlled the power and gently dipped into the lake water, and found no signs of being attacked or swallowed.

The humanoid monster didn't say a word. It just left the lake silently and swam to the center. Then, it saw the big blue hands closing together, scooping up a piece of lake water, and splashing it onto the ice sheet.

monster:……

Union Army:...

"Amitabha, you are so good." Qi Xinli knocked down the wooden fish, "This Buddha and Bodhisattva has such a heart that I not only want to purify your body and mind with scriptures, but also use my Buddha's hands to pull out this thorn in your side."

"Pumping water, I won't spoil you." Smile.

Everyone:......

For a long time, when the chanting of the Rebirth Mantra began, Catherine looked in a daze: "Is this the Awakened One?"

The compatriots from Central Continent stabbed each other accurately: "Although the monster is not a human being, the awakened one is a real dog." They are the ones who know nothing about power.

…

Along the coast of Zhongzhou, Whale Ferry Port took the lead in building a steel fortress. The fortress referenced the architectural structure of the Waihai X Organization and supported a huge structure with 3 floors above ground and 9 floors underground.

After experiments, the structure was fully adapted to wartime needs. As a result, satellite fortresses with the steel fortress as the center sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and old buildings were pushed to be rebuilt, with "sci-fi buildings" with a punk metal style.

rise one after another.

From Jingdu Port to Hulukou, from Conch Bay to Juwang City, metal buildings are gradually replacing reinforced concrete projects, becoming the most mainstream architectural style in the Doomsday stage.

Excluding the strong influence of the Awakened team, Central Continent once again shocked the world with its world's best cohesion and construction speed!

As of today, Central Continent has nearly 81 semi-finished fortresses, the strongest team of awakened people, and the most disciplined army. It can be called "the safest place in the world."

No matter which country they belong to, they are all yearning for the fortress city in Central Continent.

However, only Zhongzhou himself knew that the reason why he worked so hard to build a fortress was because his situation was more dangerous than others. The Ningyuan Mountain Range was split into eight petals, and the Lingdong boundary gate was broken into a gap. If he didn't seize the time, he would

Infrastructure, it’s impossible to survive this day!

During this period, a new team of Awakeners emerged in the Nut Country. Its leader was an 18-year-old boy named "Noble Rodrinan". It is reported that Noble is Nanya's brother, and politicians are trying to take advantage of it.

This is what brings Nanya back.

At that time, the Nut Politician contacted the Foreign Affairs Office of Central Continent and broadcast a live broadcast: "Dear girl - Nanya Rodrinan, it is time for you to return to your hometown. Your parents and brother miss you very much, and they desperately hope that you will return to your hometown."

you come back."

It's a pity that Noble is indeed Nanya's brother, and his temper is exactly the same as Nanya's.

He didn't listen to politicians' rhetoric at all. He punched the politician away in front of the camera. He took the microphone amidst the boos and shouted: "Nanya! Live according to your ideas, no matter what your choice is.

Whether it’s Zhongzhou or Nuts, my brother will support you! Always!”

"Nanya, this time, please do it for yourself!" A large number of bodyguards pressed on the young man. Noble shook them off and continued holding the microphone, "For freedom!"

Then, Noble smashed the microphone and fought back against the bodyguard. In the chaotic scene, the Central Continent Foreign Affairs Office thought it was a verbal exchange, but ended up feeling lonely.

"Is this really okay for them?" Some people were worried, "When has this been going on? Have they finished building the fortress?"

"I heard that instead of building a fortress, they built seven large arks." Another person said, "It seems that they are planning to abandon the land and live on the sea."

Too many mouths to talk about!

"No matter how big the ark is, how many people can it take away? How can living on the sea be 'safe'? What if a monster comes out that can swallow the ark in one bite?"

"Why are you asking me? This kind of intellectual decision-making was not made by me!"

After arguing and arguing, they suddenly discovered that after comparison, Zhongzhou was really a very reasonable and safe place.

"I heard that starting tomorrow, Ningyuan and Lingdong will be the first to complete the personnel transfer."
