Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

Even if you experience the game world through the diving cabin, you can still sense the strong and tense atmosphere of Fort Bordan.

This place must be under the dual influence of the power of war and the power of the time domain. The level of danger is not low at all.

According to Zhou Ning's limited understanding, since about a week ago, this place has become an area prone to extreme weather of the time element, and is often attacked by the time element meteorological tides.

The phenomenon manifested itself as a constant shift in the region's age, with the city's residents' ages fluctuating randomly between 1 and ∞. From Zhou Ning's perspective, he could already see a long, black river of time flowing around Fort Bordan. From upstream to downstream, then back again, it formed a complete time loop.

Zhou Ning had encountered a similar scene on Hood Island. This was a strange phenomenon called the Bast phenomenon, scientifically known as the time loop. The age of people in it would randomly cycle from 1 to ∞. For Zhou Ning at the time, as long as he was not too unlucky and did not die at the random moment, his life would not be in danger.

But this only applies to higher-level transcendents. For civilians, or even ordinary transcendents, this phenomenon is often extremely dangerous. According to official data, in the past 10 days, the number of people who died of natural causes in Fort Bordan has increased by 1200%.

This also caused the pace of the civil war to become fragmented. Often, during the fighting, a large number of infants and elderly people would appear in the armies of both sides, and the cries and coughs would fill the air. The battlefields would constantly shift, causing the progress of the civil war to be paralyzed.

If the power of war did not have a certain degree of coercion and brainwashing, I am afraid this war would not be able to continue.

Zhou Ning pressed his magician's hat with a serious expression and observed the surrounding scene.

The city's inhabitants were primarily giants, but werewolves were also seen. Taller humans, especially those from the North, were also quite numerous. According to Zhou Ning, shorter people were discriminated against here, and couldn't even hold their heads up.

Like Dockland, this city has Subway Line 1 connecting the western and eastern areas, and Subway Line 2 connecting the southern and northern areas. Due to its religious beliefs, Boldanburg boasts 70% of Apocalypse's earth magic casters, resulting in a significantly more advanced subway system than Dockland's. However, due to the temporal elemental weather tide and the civil war, Line 2 has been temporarily suspended.

After all, no one wants to take the subway and have the surrounding terrain suddenly change.

Zhou Ning pondered for a moment. He wasn't prepared to risk this character. Given his unique circumstances, there was a high probability he wouldn't be able to resurrect even if he died. He simply planned to visit the National Cemetery in Fort Bordan in the game world. He had some free time anyway.

The cemetery is east of Fort Bourdain, near the end of Line 1. The fee is 3 roschen.

After finding the subway station entrance nearby, Zhou Ning descended a stone staircase deep underground. The underground environment was slightly damp. Unlike Docklands, gas lamps were not popular here. Instead, oil lamps using a special fuel were fixed to the ground, burning continuously.

This should be the result of fire worship.

There are even more people in the subway station here than on the ground. There are shops that are still in business on both sides. Among these shops, there are at least three or four shops selling matches, lanterns and various flammable materials. No wonder some people say that the Byron Republic is a paradise for arsonists.

There were quite a few players nearby. Perhaps sensing Zhou Ning's different style from the other NPCs, a few of them came over hesitantly and started to speak:

"How can I help you? Are you hungry? I have some bread and paper here."

Another victim of XB’s eating and shitting trend… Zhou Ning shook his head speechlessly, ignored them, and took Metro Line 1 connecting the western and eastern areas to the east of Fort Borden.

The National Cemetery was located not far above the ground. The players were still following Zhou Ning, whispering about something. Zhou Ning pretended not to notice and returned to the ground level along the stairs.

Compared to earlier, the area east of Fort Boldan had significantly fewer people. Of course, the cemetery wasn't crowded to begin with, but what was striking was that many of the people here were Transcendents in Earth Ring uniforms, along with a large number of military and police patrolling the area.

In this area, especially in the direction of the Fort Bordan National Cemetery, Zhou Ning sensed a time element that was several times denser than before, so thick it was almost flowing. It formed a small time tributary, making the surroundings dark and deep.

It seems that the abnormal movement of the time element is most likely related to the national cemetery here.

Zhou Ning walked forward without hesitation, but was soon stopped by an Earth Ring professional:

"Sorry, there is a special situation in the area ahead, and it is temporarily inaccessible."

At this moment, in the area in front of Zhou Ning, the originally flat street suddenly turned into a plain filled with yellow sand. The Earth Ring professional began to have wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, his body suddenly became hunched, and his hair quickly turned white. The next second, he turned into a tattered skeleton and fell to the ground with a thud.

This Earth Ring professional simply died of old age.

This... Zhou Ning took a silent breath and silently took a step back. Is this the power of the protagonist's halo? He was only one step away from death.

Just at this moment, his inspiration suddenly struck him and he looked to the other side of the street.

There stood a graceful female figure wearing a black priest robe of the Church of the God of War, without a hood, with her hair draped over her shoulders.

Meredith!

Meredith, the one favored by the God of War and suspected to be possessed by the Goddess of Life Spirit, has been missing for a long time!

How did he get here? Was he himself now, or was he the goddess of life?

As if she had noticed Zhou Ning's gaze, Meredith turned her gaze towards Zhou Ning, and her big toe curled up unconsciously.

This……

Zhou Ning was a little confused about the other party's current situation, but since it involved the Life Spirit Goddess, he decided to pretend not to see it. Otherwise, he might hear the familiar words in the next second, "What illusion did you get? That was not a dream."

"What happened here?" At the same time, several Earth Ring professionals noticed the skeleton lying on the ground and hurried over to ask.

Zhou Ning pulled the corner of his mouth and helplessly recounted what happened just now. Fortunately, there were a few players as witnesses. It took him three minutes to escape. When he looked at the corner of the street again, Meredith had disappeared.

He took a slow breath and lowered his head slightly in thought. It was almost time to return to the Apocalypse World. After a moment's thought, he turned and walked towards the players who had been following him.
