Chapter 259 Detention
The following journey fully demonstrated why the Toy City Nest is a place where even the Terrorist Squad is unwilling to come down.

The air here is turbid, with large amounts of dust particles visible to the naked eye. Some of the ground looks solid, but is actually soft mud, making it very easy to sink into.

Moreover, the terrain is rugged and complex, just like the maze that Li Sheng drew under his desk for his own amusement when he was bored in class.

On the tablet, the map of the lower nest explored by the toy city officials quickly reached the edge.

Fortunately, Li Sheng had a pair of information integration glasses on hand. He turned on the passive scanning function, found the traces left by previous human movements, and continued to move forward along the traces.

After walking like this for half an hour and descending about five or six hundred meters, the terrain gradually became open and there were obvious signs of man-made objects.

"Is this a tunnel?"

Huiyu was puzzled. He saw a large complex of tunnels that appeared out of nowhere deep underground. The walls were made of cement, with occasional Lego blocks.
There were a lot of machines, pipes, wires, and cables piled up on both sides, making it look crowded and cramped. At regular intervals, there was a light bulb hanging on the wall.

A large machine that looks like an air purifier makes a humming sound, constantly sucking in the turbid air at the tunnel entrance, and then pumping it to other areas through ventilation ducts after cleaning.

Li Sheng thought silently, 'The whole thing is a bit like a modern city underground pipeline system, but the problem is that it's too deep here, and it doesn't look like it can be connected to the toy city on the surface.'

Huiyu also looked around like Li Sheng and said in a low voice, "There is a sleeping bag in front."

The tunnels are interconnected and complex. There are sleeping bags scattered on the ground at some intersections. It is obvious that people or something else live here.

The two walked quickly towards the depths of the tunnel, and Hui Yu asked in confusion, "Who built such a large project?"

"I don't know. Anyway, it can't be those seriously ill patients with malfunction."

Li Sheng glanced at the mottled wall. "Judging from the peeling marks on the surface of the wall, the history of the entire tunnel system is at least fifteen years, or even more than twenty years. It can be traced back to the beginning of the toy city."

There is not much description of that period of history in public data. It only says that under the leadership of the great Mayor Dumbledore and Deputy Mayor Einstein, the first group of citizens worked hard to build a toy town from scratch.

"Pity."

Huiyu patted the wall with some regret, "If it weren't for the malfunction, this place would be quite suitable for retirement.

"Indeed." Li Sheng nodded in agreement. The toy city has a vast area and a large population. It has everything from food, drink, and entertainment, and there is no shortage of high-end combat power.

Not only can you live comfortably, you can also learn from a master and enhance your combat power.

He casually said, "There have been related cases on the forum. Some players encountered relatively peaceful scenario worlds. The penalty for mission failure was permanent detention, so they simply chose to give up the mission and stay in the scenario world forever."

"There are still people like this?" Hui Yu was stunned. "What about their relatives and friends?"

"Most of those who can make this choice are lone wolves. They don't have close ties with their families or don't have any families at all."

Li Sheng curled his lips and said, "In addition, there are some people who borrowed too many game coins, equipment, and props from the bank and couldn't pay them back, so they just ransacked them.

It also runs smoothly in other script worlds.

Having said that, for players who live in uncertainty, being able to stay in their favorite script world for a long time can be considered as a life well spent.

For example, Miweibing arrived at Genshin Impact, Collapse Iron, and Absolute Zone Zero;

Hermes arrived in Ponyville;

The Vietcong reached Fantasyland;
Hammer fans go to Warhammer 40K, Cthulhu fans go to Innsmouth, etc. ”

Hey, the first three are fine, but the last two don’t look like they’ll have a good ending, right?!

Instead of jumping for joy about traveling back in time, shouldn't you be scared to death?

Hui Yu's expression became a little subtle, and he thought thoughtfully about what kind of world view he would choose if he were to stay in the script world. "First of all, there must be modern entertainment, enough food, drink and fun, and secondly, it must be peaceful, but not too peaceful - it would be best if I could kill people with a legitimate reason."

"The Hunger Games and the Purge, right?" Li Sheng glanced at her and said, "You picked them."

"Everyone must have dreams." Hui Yu said confidently, "However, if these people get what they want and stay in the script world forever, how will the forum know that they succeeded? They can't send back information to inform them."

"Hmm? Not bad, you can think of this."

Li Sheng said lightly: "There is a speculation on the forum that players who choose to stay in the scenario world will be 'discriminated' by the system and have a higher probability of being selected as the target of the deathmatch mission. Just like Jiang Zhihui.

This information was collected during the Deathmatch mission. If you choose to stay in the scenario world, you will not be able to enter the slums.

Without Loujie, a communication and trading platform, players’ strength growth will inevitably slow down, and they will be more likely to die for unknown reasons.”

The moment the word dropped out of his mouth, Li Sheng's eyes flashed, and he pulled out a rusty machete from the void, holding the blade upright and blocking the left side of his body.

Boom!

The concrete wall on the left suddenly broke open, and an invisible monster crashed through the wall, swinging its slender and sharp tail with a chainsaw on the end, sweeping towards Li Sheng's chest.

The dust in the air outlined its shape - a large, hideous mechanical dog with a single red eye and a futuristic, sci-fi look.

Brush Lala!
The mechanical dog's long metal tail was intercepted by the rusty machete and wrapped around the blade several times, causing sparks to fly.

The electric saw at the end of the tail spun rapidly, making a sharp buzzing sound, but it could not cut Li Sheng.

Li Sheng, who had turned on his information integration glasses and was prepared, swung his sword, pulled the mechanical dog closer to him, and punched it several times with his left fist.

The mechanical dog reacted immediately, flexibly turning its limbs and digging its claws into the concrete ceiling. While avoiding Li Sheng's dense attacks, it released its long metal tail, broke free, and took several steps back.

"Don't move! Or I'll kill her."

There was a loud shout from behind, and a swordsman in white with an orange cat head put his sword on Huiyu's neck.

Obviously, this swordsman with an orange cat head is the hero of the Chinese animation "Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit Seven Heroes".

The mechanical dog with a red eye and optical invisible camouflage is the LQ-84i in the video game Metal Gear Rising.

Both of them have purple-black malfunction substances on their body surface, but it is not serious.

Li Sheng's expression was a little strange. On the one hand, the difference in painting styles between the two was quite large. On the other hand, what was Hong Mao thinking, holding the liquid metal hostage?

It's like Captain America trying to strangle a robot in "Avengers 2".

"Leave me alone, go!"

Huiyu let out a mournful cry, took a step forward, turned his head sharply, and wiped the sword across his neck.

"?!"

As the male protagonist of the children's animation, Rainbow Cat has always been great and righteous. He never expected that the hostage would commit suicide in such a tragic way, and even the Changhong Sword in his hand trembled.

But the next second, Huiyu, whose neck was cut open and liquid metal blood was spurting out of the broken surface, turned his head suddenly and punched Hongmao in the heart, hammering the young man against the wall.

"Don't move! Or I'll kill him."

Huiyu placed the skull crusher against Hongmao's forehead and grinned.
