Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 423 422. It’s time to settle after moving from online to offline

Compared to the entertainment company which had a very complete grasp of the situation of this anomaly, Laika only had fragmentary information.

Logically speaking, the fortress had already been taken down, so the course of the vision had been changed at least... but it stood still.

In fact, Sefer was prepared for the vision to collapse instantly, and then all the students in the city would be ejected, and the college city would be crowded with people in an instant.

However, nothing happened, the snowflakes were still falling, and everything was operating normally.

She suddenly snapped her fingers: "Got it, Laika, contact Alf."

Xiao Tao pricked up her ears and suddenly became interested in the name 'Afu'. Why was there such a nickname? The teacher clearly called everyone by ordinary names!
Feldrich's voice was a little tired. "If you have something to say, just say it, mercenary. My time is valuable."

"I've claimed the fortress, but the visions haven't ended. What should I do next?"

"...How did you do it? I don't care. Mercenary, remember to use the missile in the fortress. The target is the 'manufacturing plant' in the vision."

She briefly explained that when corporate mercenaries successfully used this coordinate and the missiles launched from the fortress to end the mission early, they also obtained a very valuable vision artifact.

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

After saying that, Cypher ended the communication and was about to use the missile when the management system spoke.

[Observer, are you planning to use humanity's limited reserves of doomsday weapons to attack the manufacturing plant?]

【Based on calculations, this behavior has no practical significance.】

"I want to go back there, and it seems that this is the only way."

I've calculated your solution and determined it's effective. I'll now begin adjusting my strategy.

As they were talking, the computing support in front of Seifer and the others suddenly disappeared, and the building began to be repaired by countless flying numbers.

From energy turning into visible numbers, and then from numbers into material entities, the factory was quickly repaired and then expanded.

People who had never seen this scene expressed various feelings, but what was really shocking was actually elsewhere.

The management system quickly completed the design of the Doomsday Train, including the layout of the tracks and routes, as well as surrounding resource points...

The maximum number of people a vehicle can carry is related to the number of people it needs to maintain and the personnel structure...

It also quite approves of Cypher's act of disabling the people in the fortress, saying that this is extremely efficient and can be used when the human composition needs to be adjusted in the future.

To be honest, Sefer only realized then - if we talk about change, every step she took from entering the vision to now was an act of change.

According to the fixed content of the vision, perhaps the vision should have kicked everyone out when the fortress was breached.

However, the fixed vision gate of this vision had just been blown up, and the dissipated vision energy had not yet completely evaporated, so it was no longer so rigid...

To be honest, Sefer was even a little curious now. If she had proposed to collect all the humans and release them after the frost and snow had completely passed...what would the situation be like now?
Unfortunately, there are no ifs for some things.

The Doomsday Train was being built, and Seifer felt that everything in front of him was like a roller coaster, with ups and downs, as if countless slides were stacked in front of his eyes and then flipped through at high speed.

She saw the people from the Academy City being stuffed back into jars by the mechanical monsters and sorted into different categories; she saw the people in the fortress being transported by the mechanical monsters to a station that seemed to be the starting station for proper disposal.

She even saw everyone she had gathered huddled close to her, feeling extremely uneasy about the changes in the surrounding environment, which were no longer science fiction but rather magical.

She also saw that the fortresses in the distant snowfields were constantly being attacked by hypnotic gas... Countless doomsday weapons were taken out, disassembled, and then loaded onto the doomsday train as new tools.

In this slide-like scene, the voice of the management system suddenly came.

[Observer, our plans are progressing. Human civilization will be preserved and possibly restored. Continuity is also increasing.]

[The best option at this point, observer. But I hope you can still bring back the key component you mentioned.] So what exactly is the key component? Tell me!

Seifer nodded slightly, not caring about his current situation. "What exactly is the critical component?"

I don’t know. You said you didn’t know either, but when you see a key component, you recognize it and bring it with you.

Very honestly, it said it didn't know - that's great, actually I don't know either.

The slides in front of my eyes kept flipping through, and finally disappeared, leaving only blurry numbers.

[This is the estimated end point. Our connection is becoming weaker...Observer, find another node and reconnect...]

The scene in front of him instantly became completely blurry. This feeling was very familiar to Sefer. It was a sign that the vision was going to kick everyone out.

This is not the case for others, because the switching of visions will force people's thinking to stop for a period of time, and it can only be restored the moment they leave the vision.

The hazy vision disappeared in an instant, and in front of Cypher was the open and very familiar pedestal of the main control cabin.

As expected, the spare bodies were really lost and there was no way to recover them... Fortunately, the first round came out of the frozen meat warehouse, otherwise there would definitely be more students lost now.

I have to flatter Feldrich and ask her to give me more money!

Oh yes, and I have to talk to Dr. Mei... No, I have to go directly to the leaders of Huanwu Group.

But before that, I need to talk to a few people about something important.

Cypher immediately lowered the tank and switched to a backup body.

The moment I opened my eyes again, the academy city had become noisy and even gradually became a little out of control.

As a student who woke up from frozen meat, he certainly knew what happened - and don't underestimate Cypher's ability to act in the vision.

At least one in ten students were treated warmly, and then became frozen meat again, and these people were randomly thrown back to the college city.

Now these people start showing off their vision journeys… Of course, these are students.

Don't forget that the researchers in the academy city were also transferred into the vision at the same time - they were notified instantly and were ready to clean up those people from the entertainment company.

The entire academy city quickly became noisy, and the inner gates were directly closed to block the invasion of external units from the inside. Regardless of whether it was effective or not, the academy city could at least block some external interference.

Everyone reacted quickly, including Sefer, who, although still thinking about the various things in the vision, had already rushed into Xinxiang Technical College.

During the communication, Leica's voice sounded a little dizzy: "...This is my first time experiencing a vision. This dizzy feeling, is it serious?"

"I don't know, but the Academy City isn't very safe right now. Once there's any news about evacuation, don't hesitate. Evacuate immediately, Laika."

"What about you, Red Arrow? What are you going to do?"

Cypher adapted to the mechanical body, especially the surging power contained within it.

"Of course, let's make Xiao Tao shut up first. Don't let her say anything she shouldn't. Then, let's go backstage at the concert..."

"This big star helped us attract so much attention and even gave me crucial help when I was finishing up. I can't just watch her get beaten to death on the spot by the company's people, can I?"

Leica's voice was filled with resignation. "I knew it... But, she led the people in the fortress in singing, which did cover up a lot of noise."

To be honest, this may be the only help that came by accident.
