My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 283 Death Island, there are gods in the mortal bureau
"This is... losing all attributes and skills!?"

After a simple observation, Xia Lin immediately found the reason why his body felt heavy.

It’s not a debuff, but the special rules of this audition battlefield.

Just as the wind was blowing, it not only brought with it the creepy howling sounds from afar, but also rolled up the mud, sand and leaves to form words in front of Xia Lin's eyes.

【Welcome to the audition battlefield 1. 】

【Note: This ember zone is a virtual ember zone.】

[Note: There are special rules in this Ash Zone. All the skills and items of Ash Zone Walkers are sealed. The attribute values of all Ash Zone Walkers are forced to be 10 points, and the racial value is 1 point.]

The Ashen Zone uses a rule to force the strength of all Ashen Zone Walkers to the same level.

"But that's not fair..."

Xia Lin was completely speechless.

In the sequence ranking battle, the strong ones are chosen. Although the strength of the walker in the ashen area does not depend solely on strength, strength is undoubtedly the most important reference standard.

As a result, you have played this trick in the Jhin zone now... Then I would like to ask, what is the point of my previous hard work to improve attributes and build skill sets?

Fortunately, the Jhin zone is not that disgusting, and has not forgotten the basic logic of the selection sequence, nor has it forgotten that it is a Gu Zhong.

[However, depending on the overall strength of the Ember Walkers, they will gain different degrees of additional advantages in this Ember Selection. ]

What the advantages are, the Jhin system has not yet explained.

Xia Lin looked down and saw the task description.

[Mission location: Death Island. ]

[The total area of Death Island is 200 million square kilometers. Due to the leakage of biological weapons, all people and animals on Death Island have mutated into irrational zombie monsters. ]

[Death Island is full of dangers, but danger also means opportunities! There are many secrets on the island. Explore carefully and you may find the key to change your fate. 】

The hints in the Jhin area are very clear...

[The opening period of the Ember Zone is one month. 】

[The main quest has been released. ]

[Main mission: Survival.]

[Survival: Survive on Death Island for a month to complete the main mission. ]

[Task success reward: 100 ranking battle points. ]

It seems that the 1 points required for advancement are not so easy to obtain.

[Penalty for mission failure: None. 】

【The clearance mission was not triggered.】

This sentence means that there is a clearance mission in this virtual asher zone.

[Side Quest: Battle Royale! ]

[Battle Royale: Deadly poison gas is spreading around Death Island, and the gas is shrinking. As time goes by, the place where the Ash Walker can stand will become smaller and smaller. At the same time, every time you kill another Ash Walker, you will get all the points of the Ash Walker, and an additional 100 points of bonus points. ]

Similar to the rules of the Battle Royale game, there is the concept of shrinking circle.

The purpose is naturally to intensify the intensity of the battle, the loser will die and the winner will eat, which is in line with the logic of raising Gu.

The next sentence points out another hidden message.

There are other ways to obtain ranking battle points on Death Island...probably related to the secrets of the island.

"To put it bluntly, it's just a side quest..."

And the Jhin zone didn’t say that they would not leave a way out for the Jhin zone walkers.

[You can choose to leave this ember zone at any time, but you need to wait 3 minutes to start the return process in this ember zone. When you leave this ember zone, you will automatically lose the qualification to participate in this sequence ranking battle, and your points will be equally divided among all the remaining ember zone walkers present. ]

You can consider giving up when the situation is critical.

The Ashes will never force a walker into a desperate situation where death is inevitable.

[Additional advantages are now granted based on the overall strength of the Ember Walkers. ]

[Strength assessment begins...]

A faint film of light enveloped the bodies of a hundred Ash Walkers on Death Island, making them unable to move and unable to do anything but wait.

About a minute later, the Ashen Zone system completed the comprehensive strength assessment of each Ashen Zone Walker.

……

Southeast corner of the Island of the Dead.

A proud-looking kid frowned and looked at the two pieces of equipment that appeared in front of him.

One is a motorcycle vest, the full name is level one bulletproof vest.

The other item is a Glock 100 with 18 rounds of ammunition.

"That's fine... I have guns and armor... but I'm a level 1 Cinder Walker with an average attribute of over , and I only get this little advantage? It's hard to kill a chicken, right?"

The kid put on his motorcycle vest while mumbling something and put the pistol on his waist.

After being "fully armed", the kid looked unhappy. It was obvious that he was a short-sighted guy who didn't understand his own level positioning.

……

Death Island, inside the deserted church.

The woman in red was wearing a heavy bulletproof vest (level five armor), with an M4 assault rifle and an AWM on her back emitting a cold glow.

A black Dodge Tomahawk appeared out of nowhere beside her. The woman got on the motorcycle and stepped on the accelerator. The Tomahawk immediately let out a powerful roar.

"It's troublesome."

"Although the equipment is good, the attributes are on the same starting line as everyone else. From this perspective, the chance of failure is greatly increased."

"I originally thought that with 5 racial points and 30 basic attributes, I would have a certain advantage in battle royale-type missions, but now this advantage is not that great..."

The battle axe roared out of the church, but the woman on it had a heavy look on her face.

……

Isle of Death, Cape of Good Hope.

Gu Bai, wearing a level three bulletproof vest and holding an AK74U, pulled his hair in annoyance.

"Why is it a battle royale type mission? Isn't it better for everyone to choose team cooperation mode in a friendly manner?"

Gu Bai is a temporary teammate that Xing Fanwu met in the January Dream Zone.

It was precisely because of his experience during the One-Month Dream Tribulation that Gu Bai knew his strength position among the Walkers in the Cinders Zone - probably below average...

"Fortunately, the attribute item skills are sealed, so a newbie like me has a pitiful living space."

Mumbling to himself and recalling the previous hints about the Ashes area, Gu Bai quickly fixed his sights on the seven words "The Secret of the Island of Death".

"The rules of this Ember Zone itself give the Ember Zone Walker the basis for the weak to defeat the strong, and the Ember Zone prompts provide another option."

"Grow first and then eat people. This is most likely the correct solution for this Jhin zone."

Thinking like this, Gu Bai slowly let go of the uneasiness in his heart.

No matter what, this Ashen Zone is indeed beneficial to the weak, which made Gu Bai's heart skip a beat and he had some bad thoughts.

……

It was only after the Ashen Zone completed its comprehensive strength assessment that the one hundred Ashen Zone Walkers who entered this Ashen Zone understood the basic logic of this Ashen Zone.

——The mortal bureau.

The advantage derived from the original strength is at most just an upgrade in equipment, and the advantage is not as great as imagined.

And the Jhin area also gave an important hint: there are quite a few secrets on Death Island that can change the balance of power.

In general, this time the Jhin zone does not focus on the hard power of the Jhin zone walkers, but rather tests the comprehensive qualities of the Jhin zone walkers.

"It's a hodgepodge... The foundation is that of a battle royale game, but there are also elements of search and kill, puzzles, and development."

As the light film on the surface of his body disappeared, Xia Lin was able to move.

But he didn't move. He just stood there, pinching his chin, and gave a summary of the auditions for the Ashen Zone.

After summarizing, Xia Lin raised his head again and looked at the three pieces of equipment floating in front of him.

As Xia Lin read the descriptions of the three items of equipment word by word, his expression gradually became abnormal.

"Let me make it clear first, this is not called cheating... I just transformed my past accumulation into the current advantage..."

After saying this, Xia Lin finally reached out and took advantage of himself.

The first one is a black steel battle suit.

[Nuclear Energy Individual Combat Armor (Unrated) (Temporary item, cannot be taken out of this ember zone): Individual titanium alloy armor with unlimited energy, providing comprehensive protection for the user, and also possessing unlimited high-energy laser weapons and flight systems.]

【Note: Wear it and you will be Iron Man! 】

This iron man suit is even equipped with an artificial intelligence system.

As Xia Lin touched it, the battle suit automatically disintegrated like a building block, and then quickly reassembled based on Xia Lin, tightly wrapping Xia Lin inside.

Good fit and comfortable.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, flames automatically burst out of the nozzle under his feet, carrying Xia Lin quickly into the air.

There are jet ports on both sides of the suit, and with the assistance of artificial intelligence, Xia Lin is like a flying bird, flexible and fast.

"and this!"

As he raised his hand, the laser muzzle in the palm of his hand quickly accumulated energy. After an imperceptible delay, a laser shot out and hit the target a kilometer away.

"The destructive power is similar to that of Gauss weapons. Not to mention flesh and blood, even main battle tanks can be torn apart by you."

"It also has a precision guidance system, which can lock onto the target and hit wherever it is pointed..."

In summary, a pure fighting machine.

When he landed, the mask automatically opened, revealing Xia Lin's handsome face.

He gained a second advantage.

This is a golden injection.

[Superman Type III Potion (Unrated) (Temporary item, only effective in this ember zone): After injection, your attributes and race values will increase dramatically over time! The increase will reach its peak after a week! You can gain 10 points of race value and 1000 points of basic attributes from it. This effect is temporary and will no longer take effect after leaving this ember zone. ]

[Note: The super medicine made from Superman's blood is reliable, safe and has no side effects! After the injection, you will be Superman! ]

I simply tied the medicine around my neck.

As the medicine entered his body, Xia Lin immediately felt that this weak body was rapidly becoming stronger.

Others have 1 racial value and 10 basic attributes, but you can get 11 racial values and 1010 basic attributes by taking drugs...

The rich rely on technology and the poor rely on mutation?
No, I still have the Iron Man suit...that's okay.

While feeling the heat and gradually increasing strength in his body, Xia Lin looked at the last prop.

It's still a tube of medicine, but red.

[Nira virus antibody (unrated) (temporary item, only effective in this ember zone): After injection, you will be completely immune to the damage of Nira virus and related variant viruses. This effect is temporary and will no longer be effective after leaving this ember zone. ] [Note: The deadly poison gas and the zombie virus that are contracting on the Death Island are all variant branches of the Nira virus. ]

To put it simply, you won't lose blood when you enter the poison circle, and you will be immune to infection by local monsters. It is also safe and has no side effects.

Injection, as the medicine flows into the body, the effect takes effect immediately.

Xia Lin threw away the syringe and sighed slightly.

"It's still reasonable, but just barely."

I am a great master who can destroy stars with a wave of my hand, but you have sealed me and turned me into an ordinary person. Now this little compensation will just make up for Xia Lin's dissatisfaction.

"And I don't know the strength of the local monsters, or the compensation that other Ashland Walkers will receive... If everyone gets a set of Iron Man suits, wouldn't I become a clown?"

Muttering this, Xia Lin leaped into the air and flew directly into the dark poisonous cloud in the sky.
Looking down from a high vantage point, a large area comes into view.

Fly, search.

After about dozens of minutes, Xia Lin raised his eyebrows and locked onto the target.

……

Chu Aotian is fifteen years old this year, which is the age of being "energetic" and "brave and aggressive".

Because this planet was covered by the Ashes system three hundred days ago, they became Ashes Walkers by chance, and they were also the first batch of Ashes Walkers on their planet.

Due to a series of luck and his daring and fighting character, Chu Aotian developed rapidly. Not only did he take the first place in the first sequence ranking battle, but he also became a level 8 Ash Walker in the most recent Ash Walker.

"I am the Chosen One!"

This is the phrase that the little brother Chu Aotian says most often.

Because that's the truth.

The human race ranking battle has begun. It is the first time that Chu Aotian has heard of such a thing as a race ranking battle. With the idea that he is the best in the world, Chu Aotian decisively signed up and was thrown into this Ashen Zone by the Ashen Zone system.

At this moment, Chu Aotian was wearing a motorcycle vest, holding a Glock 18 with a hundred rounds of spare ammunition, looking at the mutated zombies in front of him with a ferocious look on his face.

"How can I stop? If the ash area of this trench does not seal my power, with my 1 attribute points and two SSS-level skills, I can kill you like killing chickens!"

"But do you think this can stop me? Dream on!"

A three-shot burst from the pistol hit the mutant zombie right on the forehead - after all, he was a level eight Ash Walker, and even if his skills and physical fitness were gone, he still had basic combat qualities.

However, this mutant zombie, which was over two meters tall, simply raised its head and its skull was not pierced. It then let out a ferocious roar and pounced towards Chu Aotian at an extremely fast speed!

Powerful mutant zombie.

The strength is over fifteen points and the speed is over ten points.

This is the attribute data that crushes the walker in the ashes zone, and also makes the invincible Chu Aotian fall flat on his face.

He was unable to dodge and was grabbed by the zombie. The motorcycle vest was torn into pieces like a newspaper under the zombie's sharp claws, and a sharp wound appeared on Chu Aotian's left rib.

But the kid is not lacking in courage.

Chu Aotian used his skillful close combat gun skills, endured the pain and dodged and moved, firing continuously with his pistol.

Most of the 100 rounds of ammunition were used up, and the zombie was no match for Chu Aotian. His eyes were shot out and he fell to the ground and died.

Chu Aotian stood there gasping for breath, but suddenly he heard a voice coming from behind him.

"you are done."

Chu Aotian suddenly turned around and looked behind him.

Then, behind him, he saw a young man in a black tight combat suit, holding an exaggerated, technologically-charged energy gun, walking slowly towards him.

When their eyes met, Chu Aotian's face twitched, and he suddenly felt a sense of disappointment due to the gap in equipment.

A bicycle meets a BMW.

Instead, the man smiled and said, "XS combat suit, blaster ray gun."

"Don't be greedy, this is just what I deserve... or if the strength of the walkers in the Cinders was not so balanced, it would not be much more difficult for me to crush you than to kill a chicken."

Well, another contestant who likes to kill chickens... Each of them has a grudge against chickens...

Chu Aotian smelled a similar scent from this awesome guy.

He said nothing, but just covered the wound with one hand and clenched the useless Glock with the other, and listened to the man continue.

"Back to the point. You are infected. In about two hours, you will turn into the monster that just died at your hands."

"And I know you've already started the regression program, but guess what? It's useless! The regression program cannot be activated while infected... This is probably a hidden clause that was not written into the instructions for the Jhin zone."

Chu Aotian's face twitched again.

Because what this person said is true.

"So..." The kid asked tentatively, and then he heard the man say with a smile: "I have the antidote, I can save you, but I need you to do something for me..."

After saying this, the man voluntarily put down his weapon and made a gesture of peace.

"To show my sincerity, let me introduce myself first."

"I am Wang Jingxiang, a true disciple of the White Dragon Sword Sect, and I am affiliated with the Tiandao Creator."

Chu Aotian looked at Wang Jingxiang with a bewildered expression. Apart from the names, he obviously didn't understand what the White Dragon Sword Sect was and what the Lord of Heaven was.

This made Wang Jingxiang smile even more.

Clean as a blank sheet of paper...

But this is good, this is how you can be a qualified cannon fodder and pathfinder dog.

……

At the same time, Gu Bai found the clue and encountered trouble.

In the streets of the abandoned city, a zombie special operations team led by several mutant zombies and supplemented by dozens of ordinary zombies are chasing Gu Bai for his life.

Relying on the complex environment in the city, Gu Bai could theoretically shake off his pursuers, but he was not alone at the moment, and he was accompanied by two burdens, one big and one small.

Both of them are women, with blonde hair and blue eyes, and look similar, seemingly mother and daughter.

The older one is less than 40 years old, plump and attractive; the younger one is less than 18 years old, but already mature.

Judging from their clothes, these two beauties, one big and one small, are obviously not walkers from the Ashes Zone, but natives of this virtual Ashes Zone.

——In other words, it is a dummy that the Ashes Zone system puts in the virtual Ashes Zone.

Taking the mother and daughter into the mall, Gu Bai originally wanted to use the complex terrain of the mall to shake off the pursuers and even launch a counterattack.

However, with his physical fitness and skills sealed, Gu Bai apparently did not realize that there were other dangers in the mall.

As soon as he pushed the door open, Gu Bai froze in place.

Facing him, a monster that was three meters tall and three meters wide, with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a spider, slowly crawled up from the ground, and looked at Gu Bai with six compound eyes on its face.

There is no reason in his eyes, only appetite.

"It's over... a human-animal hybrid..."

The older beauty uttered a name that Gu Bai could understand but didn't know its meaning, while the younger beauty just kept screaming.

Gu Bai swallowed hard and raised the AK74U in his hand, his face full of despair.

His thinking is indeed very clear.

Develop quietly in this Jhin zone, and then fight for points, at least you can get more rewards.

But he underestimated the strength and threat posed by the native creatures in this ash zone.

"PVP? That's bullshit! This is clearly a high-difficulty PVE, right?!"

Before Gu Bai could make a desperate attempt, he suddenly felt a light falling from above his head!
The concentrated light tore through the ceiling of the mall and hit the mutant creature's head accurately.

The scorching rays instantly melted the monster's head, and the deformed life was sent to hell by the laser.

The sudden change left Gu Bai and the mother and daughter blankly and at a loss, until the iron warrior that fell from the sky slowly landed in front of the three of them.

“Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!

I don’t know if it’s due to personality factors or cultural customs, but the girl’s mood changes faster than ordinary people.

She was crying one second, and the next second her eyes were full of stars.

"Are you the angel who came to save us?"

She asked this and successfully received a response.

"No, I'm just a jerk..."

The head armor opened automatically, revealing the face that left a deep impression on Gu Bai.

It also made Gu Bai feel relieved.

After all, in the January dream disaster, Xia Lin's efforts and character were widely recognized - he was a good person and a trustworthy teammate.

Seeing Xia Lin at this moment, Gu Bai undoubtedly felt like he had seen a savior.

"that is……"

After the surprise comes the shock.

He looked up and down at Xia Lin's iron armor, and soon the corner of his mouth twitched.

"Brother, is your style of painting really right?"

Are there gods in the mortal bureau?

The kind that can fly and hide?

Dude, you are really open! ?

Xia Lin smiled without saying anything. He just raised his head and gestured to the mother and daughter with his chin.

"Your name is Gu Bai, right? You are quite a character. Why are you still exploring the Jin District even in such a difficult situation?"

The topic of Tanhua made Gu Bai roll his eyes.

There was no hiding anything. With Xia Lin's equipment and the character he showed in the dream disaster in January, it was enough to support Gu Bai to make such a decision - to share the information and then curry favor with him.

"This is Chimera Corporation's technical specialist, Roxanne."

Gu Bai pointed at the older woman and then winked at Xia Lin.

"As for this Chimera Company, that's a long story."

Xia Lin's mouth twitched.

Buddy, there’s no need for you to be so mysterious...why not just say that there’s a hidden mission for this mother and daughter?

……

Even if it is a virtual Ember zone, the Ember zone system will set up the world view.

Even the worldview of the virtual Amber zone is not necessarily more empty or simple than the worldview of the real Amber zone.

As Gu Bai spoke quickly, Xia Lin had a general understanding of this Cinder District and the so-called Chimera Company.
