Chapter 671 Releasing Water
The Eastern Capital instance is a massive instance, consisting of multiple smaller instances.

The gaps between the smaller instances are the activity areas for the anomalies.

Lin Xiaohe sat in the core of the Ming Tombs instance, recalling what the old man's son had told her.

"After running a few more dungeons, you'll realize that the purpose of a dungeon isn't to occupy the area, but to harvest the power of the area's rules, fill the Dead City, and strengthen yourself."

"But rules are the foundation of a world. Once they are removed, the world becomes like a rootless duckweed, either merging into the City of the Dead or choosing to perish."

"Since you've come to me, it means you're an ambitious person. Don't underestimate the small size of the Ming Tombs instance; its small size means you have a higher level of control over it."

"Within this small world, you can build any game, in any way, and collect the power of the rules. The more people die in the instance, and the higher the quality, the more power of the rules you will have."

"The people of the East are very reserved in their emotions. Their joys, sorrows, loves, hates and passions are more valuable than those of people in other parts of the planet."

"The most cost-effective way is to first collect their fear, apprehension, joy, regret, and other emotions, and then take their lives."

"If you do a good job, I'll recommend you again for the next large-scale dungeon event."

dong dong dong.

Lin Xiaohe looked up and saw that people from the Ming Tombs instance had arrived.

Lin Xiaohe's mind raced, and she kept raising her perspective until she could clearly see every corner of the Ming Tombs.

The group that entered the Ming Tombs this time was a team of 300 people.

They were all dressed in green military uniforms and were well-trained. Although they all looked solemn, the formation remained orderly.

……

Chen Cheng is the commander of a special forces unit of a certain army group.

He was leading his brothers in a defensive formation as they retreated into the Ming Tombs replica.

"Boss, do we really have to go find that person right now?" Skinny Monkey asked nervously, removing his disguise.

This was frustrating; his camouflage skills, the best in the entire army, were completely useless against these invaders.

Chen Cheng took the lead, being the first to enter the Ming Tombs instance: "Hold hands, don't get lost. Leave a marker every 50 meters. Skinny Monkey, be ready to provide backup at any time..."

Before he could finish speaking, a cold mist enveloped him.

Immediately afterwards, a chilling voice rang in his ears.

[Attention, gamer Chen Cheng! You have entered the Ming Tombs Challenge instance.]

[Note 1: Player deaths and injuries within the instance are real. (Haha, games where you risk your life are what make them exciting.)]

[Note 1: Players who complete this game will receive one of the following rewards: ① A bowl of Meng Po's soup (specially from the underworld) ② Half a bowl of Meng Po's soup (specially from the underworld) ③ A spoonful of Meng Po's soup (specially from the underworld).]

[Note 3: To ensure fairness and impartiality in the challenge dungeon, a single-path channel has been created, and the entire player's progress will be streamed live.]

[Boss's message: Studying history can enlighten us; understanding the past allows us to learn from the present.]

Chen Cheng looked around, but all he could see was a gray haze. He couldn't hear any of his comrades' voices or see them anywhere.

After the rules for the instance were announced, a semi-transparent screen with a blue glow suddenly appeared in front of Chen Cheng's eyes.

Please set a one-way channel connection point.

Friendly reminder: After a one-way channel is successfully established, the other party can watch your progress from multiple angles, but cannot communicate. Chen Cheng's hands behind his back trembled slightly, and his heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of his chest.

The Eastern government has been completely unaware of what has happened in Anning County and therefore has no way to respond.

But this time, the Ming Tombs instance can actually open a one-way passage! This is a huge help to the Eastern Kingdom in dealing with the strange invasion.

Chen Cheng lowered his eyes, concealing his inner excitement. He knew perfectly well that Director Lin was going easy on him!
Each of their 300-plus brothers can establish a one-way channel, which is equivalent to more than 300 cameras exploring the instance.

Even if they all perished, their sacrifice was worthwhile based solely on these surviving video and photographic records!
Chen Cheng took a deep breath, suppressing the complex emotions in his heart, and decisively chose: "Connection point: Dongguo Emergency Management Command Center!"

One-way channel established successfully.

The dungeon countdown has begun: 10, 9, 8...

……

The big shots who had been closely monitoring the capital city instance had their red phones on their desks ringing incessantly.

"Boss, we can see the Ming Tombs now!!"

"Boss, 312 players have officially started the dungeon."

what? !

They disregarded their other work and ran as fast as they could.

The emergency command center was bustling with activity.

The workers were connecting the displays one by one. The chief engineer's voice was hoarse: "Go to Changhong Group and get screen splitting connectors. We need 320 screens."

Meanwhile, on-duty personnel from the Ministry of Emergency Management were directing others to frantically make phone calls.

"Quickly, get those experts over here. Where's the cameraman?! Recording with a phone?! Get out of here! Every detail is crucial. How can you see anything clearly with a phone?!"

"Should we invite a Taoist priest? Of course we should."

Si Sheng was panting heavily when he came in and saw that it was a complete mess, with all four walls covered with LCD screens.

The content displayed on each screen is different, but without exception, the main characters are these respectable and lovable soldiers.

"what happened?"

The secretary, holding a notebook, spoke rapidly: "Ten minutes ago, our command center's communication network was suddenly hacked by a mysterious force, displaying images of the Ming Tombs."

"A total of 318 soldiers entered the instance. Commander Chen Cheng explained that this is a benefit provided by the instance; it is a one-way passage, allowing only viewing and no interaction. Those who clear the instance will receive Meng Po soup, a specialty of the underworld."

"According to the expert team's analysis, the dungeon boss should be Director Lin Xiaohe. Even if it's not her, Director Lin definitely has a certain amount of influence. Due to certain rules, Director Lin cannot directly help Chen Cheng and the others, but she is letting them off the hook in a way that goes unnoticed."

Si Sheng relaxed his body slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay, we must cooperate well with Director Lin's work and not let him and the soldiers down."

"Okay, leader. The emergency command center has started screen recording and will review it repeatedly after the dungeon ends. Some experts who couldn't make it here in time will have their discussions conducted simultaneously via video."

Besides Si Sheng, the emergency command center is full of bigwigs.

They were placed in the best viewing spots, wrapped in small blankets, determined to stay with everyone until the dungeon ended.

The secretaries were worried about their health and wanted to persuade them to prioritize their well-being.

The leaders, however, said, "Right now, is there anything more important than the dungeon? Although we can't help the soldiers inside, we can stay with them."
