Chapter 139

(PS: New episode, three updates today. I'll leave some time to organize the plot outline, and continue to add updates for the alliance leader tomorrow.)

"Year 2098."

"Humanity enters the era of the pseudo-community."

"Human technology, which had stalled for a hundred years, suddenly ushered in another explosion after 2080. In less than twenty years, humanity has begun to colonize the moon and is looking forward to Mars!"

"But all this is just the shadow outside the curtain approaching."

Wu Pifu, the three of them, one bird and one dog, appeared beside a modern highway, and there were still a few vehicles driving on the highway.

The Main Brain's voice sounded in the minds of the three of them.

This was unprecedented. Liu Zhen and Liang Min didn't know, but how could Wu Pifu not know? The Main Brain had never introduced the Dream World they were in like this before; everything inside required them to explore for themselves.

Wu Pifu is not sure now, is this the ability after the Main Brain upgrade, or is this Dream World very special, a detailed explanation specially made by Chu Minghao?

But no matter what, this is always a good thing.

"Mission released."

"Maintain the existence of the curtain, do not let the humans of this world know the terrifying truth outside the curtain. The more they know, the harder it is for this world to be redeemed."

"Set the curtain damage degree. Once the curtain damage degree reaches 100%, this world will be irreversibly polluted, thus causing a world-ending scene."

"Set the curtain maintenance area for maintenance personnel in each area, and carry out wide-area division according to the number and strength of maintenance personnel in the area."

"Mission leader Chu Minghao will carry out redemption operations. Redemption degree is set. When the redemption degree reaches 100%, the emergency mission is achieved, and the world is redeemed."

On the retinas of the three, a pitch-black percentage degree and a bright percentage degree appeared. This didn't even need explanation. Undoubtedly, one was the curtain damage degree, and the other was the redemption degree.

"Judging... judgment complete, the curtain maintenance area required for maintenance personnel in Z District 6123 Small District is..."

A geographical map of the entire planet immediately appeared in the minds of the three, and then the range began to shrink. The continent where they were located was marked, and then a circle indicated their maintenance range, including three cities, dozens of towns, and hundreds of villages.

"Such a large maintenance range!?" Liu Zhen questioned with a frown.

Wu Pifu was also surprised. If this area is calculated by the size of the Earth, it is almost equivalent to the United States from New York to the central region, one-third the size of the United States.

However, this world is obviously not the Earth. It can be seen from the geographical map that the whole world has three huge continents, which are not connected in the middle. Besides that, there are sporadic islands, and they are on one of the continents.

"Could it be because my strength is too strong?"

Wu Pifu said with some lack of confidence.

Although his strength is indeed growing and becoming stronger rapidly, seriously speaking, he is still struggling in the Baseline Reality 0.6 Dream World, far from Chu Minghao's strength, and cannot even be compared.

So... did he look down on himself too much?

At this moment, a voice and a picture appeared in the minds of the three.

"Everyone, I am Chu Minghao."

A sunny and handsome young man smiled, but he was covered in blood. In front of him were various monsters like mountains and seas, and where he stood was not the earth, but a giant beast at least a thousand meters long and three or four hundred meters high.

"Friends, I need your help!"

Chu Minghao gradually restrained his smile and said seriously: "As you all know, the 'weekend' is becoming more and more difficult. I have known in advance that the weekend time will be extended to 48 hours the weekend after next, which is a devastating disaster for many friends."

"And once this redemption is achieved, the weekend crisis will be greatly weakened, the duration will shrink back to 12 hours, and there will be many other benefits, including the difficulty of establishing sanctuaries in various Dream Worlds decreasing, the Main Brain's judgment intensity increasing, etc."

"Maybe some friends know me, and some friends are very strange to me, but it doesn't matter. This time, I will fight side by side with you!"

Chu Minghao reached out and patted the sword box on his back. I don't know what happened, but the infinite monsters rushing like mountains and seas disappeared immediately, and then he continued: "I have set up curtain weak points for you. If a curtain weak point appears in your maintenance area, the Main Brain will display it on the large map. After you arrive at the destination, penetrate the curtain, kill the monsters behind, or solve the rules within. Once achieved, the curtain weak point will be eliminated."

"Remember, don't let the people of this world know the truth behind the curtain..."

Chu Minghao's voice became weaker and weaker, and at the same time, the picture he was in became thinner and thinner. Finally, Chu Minghao's voice and picture disappeared.

Wu Pifu thought silently about what Chu Minghao expressed, and Liu Zhen was really shocked. His eyes were a bit dazed. The picture Chu Minghao just transmitted was too stimulating to him.

And Liang Min said excitedly: "Did you see it? Did you see it? This is Chu Minghao! The strongest battlefield killer of the Human Unified Government, Chu Minghao, known as the final battle weapon!"

Wu Pifu and Liu Zhen ignored him. The two looked at each other. Liu Zhen said first: "The area we need to maintain is too large. My suggestion is that the three of us separate and manage one area each, and then whoever's area the weak point appears in, whoever rushes over first, to avoid the humans of this world penetrating behind the curtain. How about it?"

Liang Min immediately raised his hand and said: "No, big brother, you let me go and fight those monsters!? I am just an ordinary person!"

Liu Zhen ignored him, just looked at Wu Pifu.

Wu Pifu thought for a while and said: "Let's do this. You and Liang Min manage a city and its surroundings, and I manage other areas. First, my strength is stronger. Second, I need you to help me see if you can get some better vehicles. After all, such a large area, we can't always run, right?"

Liu Zhen nodded in approval and said: "That's the truth. Since this world has colonized the moon, there should be hover cars or similar flying vehicles... Okay, Liang Min and I are on the same path. I am very familiar with the underworld. Since Liang Min is an accountant, he is also familiar with making money. We will manage a city area, make money as soon as possible, and get vehicles. During this period, other areas will depend on you."

Wu Pifu nodded and asked: "Then how should we contact?"

The three of them are naturally penniless in this world and have nothing. Contact is indeed a big problem.

Liu Zhen thought for a long time before saying: "There is really no way, you can only come to find us. We will stand firm in this city as soon as possible. Time is about... two days. Two days later, you can come to the underworld area of the city to inquire about us. If we have already stood firm, then I will naturally know you are here. If we haven't developed yet, then continue to maintain separately. How about this?"

Wu Pifu couldn't think of any other way, so he could only nod.

At the moment, the two discussed it again and then parted ways. Liu Zhen took Liang Min to the nearest city. Judging from the map, if the two walk faster, they can reach the edge of the city in about five or six hours. If someone lets them hitch a ride, the speed can be faster.

As for Wu Pifu, he has to manage two cities, dozens of towns, hundreds of villages, and the vast wilderness outside these population gathering areas. Even if all his strength is exploded now, it is impossible to go to the other end of this area in a short time.

The maintenance area is too huge. Unless he can fly to the sky and escape the earth...

Fortunately, there is no curtain weak area on the large map currently displayed by the Main Brain, which at least gives Wu Pifu a buffer time, allowing him to better understand this world and also go to the center of the area he needs to maintain first.

"Sure enough, it is a world that is not what it seems."

Wu Pifu walked for a night. Although there was no explosive running, he walked more than 300 kilometers and came to a town near the center of his maintenance area. He wandered around the streets of the town at will. The more he wandered, the more he felt a strange sense of déjà vu.

The culture of this town is too much like a combination of the American West and Mexican towns.

Through the funds provided by lucky pedestrians on the roadside, Wu Pifu found an internet cafe and understood most of the situation in this world through the internet.

There are three continents in this world, and each continent has a powerful country or federation, which is similar to the three places of the European Continent, the East, and the West in the 21st century Earth. From culture to political system, they are similar.

And the continent he is on is the continent's sphere of influence similar to the West, named the Human Freedom Federation. The countries and forces of the other two continents are the People's Coexistence Country and the Supreme Empire, which are similar to the East and the European Continent.

Perhaps because of geographical reasons, or for some other reason, these three forces depend on each other and have competitive relationships other than war, and there has been no World War I and World War II. Their technological level is about 40 or 50 years behind the real Earth.

However, judging from the information searched on the internet, this Dream World started a technological explosion twenty years ago. The three hegemonic forces have all appeared with a large number of research inventions. Even not only these three forces, but some small countries' research teams or scientists have also appeared with epoch-making inventions and research.

!

In just over twenty years, the technology of this world has progressed from the level of the early 21st century to the moon colony level, and even the spaceship and mecha technology have had an explosive improvement.

"Is it the power behind the curtain?"

Wu Pifu has not experienced any curtain yet, so he doesn't know what the situation behind the curtain is.

And there are many mysteries unsolved, such as why the power behind the curtain wants the human civilization of this world to develop greatly?

Why can't the humans of this world know the truth behind the curtain?

And how exactly does Chu Minghao want to redeem this world?

Various mysteries are completely incomprehensible.

With such doubts, Wu Pifu played two games similar to LOL in the internet cafe, and then when he was about to become a Zuan horse hunter, a red dot appeared on the large map displayed by the Main Brain, and the location of this red dot was exactly in his maintenance area!

Wu Pifu didn't dare to neglect, immediately carried Daphne, who had a look of lovelessness, in one hand, and protected Jiu Jiu in the other, directly exploded his speed and ran to this curtain weak point.

The curtain weak point is not far from his location. The straight-line distance is about 30 kilometers. Under full-speed running, he arrived at the scene in less than 20 minutes, and then saw a lake, sporadic tents on the side of the lake, and people playing and entertaining on the side of the lake.

"Lake, campsite, wilderness... Why do I always feel that the picture in front of me is very familiar?"

Wu Pifu stood on a small hill by the lake and looked down, and saw sporadic crowds picnicking, and then as his vision expanded, he really saw a different picture in a certain area by the lake.

That area looked extremely dim, forming a sharp contrast with the sunny surroundings, and what made Wu Pifu even more shocked was that this area was spreading to the surroundings at a slow speed. Although the spreading speed was not fast, it was already approaching the camping area.

Wu Pifu naturally didn't dare to neglect, immediately ran down from the small hill, avoided those camping and picnicking personnel as much as possible, and went to this curtain weak point.

When Wu Pifu came to this curtain weak point, he was surprised to see three people running towards this weak point area. However, they seemed to be unable to see the specific location of the curtain weak point, so they were just searching around it.

At this time, the only woman among the three saw Wu Pifu. She was stunned for a moment, then immediately changed from a running state to a fast walk, and soon walked to Wu Pifu, showing a "civil servant" smile.

"Sir, there is a natural gas pipeline leak here. It's a small matter. We are performing a quick repair on this, but to avoid your life safety, I hope you can leave this area." The beauty said with a smile.

Wu Pifu looked at her and the other two for a few times, then walked to the curtain weak point, saying as he walked: "I am from Z District 6123 Small District. How about you?"

The beauty was stunned, and the two men in the distance were also stunned, and then they immediately ran over. The beauty breathed a sigh of relief and said: "We are from C District 1611 Small District... Did our curtain maintenance areas overlap?"

Wu Pifu didn't speak, just continued to walk forward with big strides. At this moment, they were still about 200 meters away from the curtain weak point.

The two men followed closely. They also saw that Wu Pifu seemed to have some ability to clearly know the location of the weak point.

Seeing that Wu Pifu didn't answer, the beauty said as she walked: "It's also possible. After all, the area to be maintained is too large. In this large area between two towns, multiple teams overlap and cross-maintain, so that there will be no caught-off-guard situations."

Wu Pifu's heart moved, still didn't speak, and stepped directly into the curtain weak area in front.

The three behind were still talking, and suddenly the world turned upside down. They suddenly came from the sunny noon to the dim and gloomy night.

"Is this behind the curtain!?" The beauty said in surprise.

The two men were also surprised to look around, and then the three suddenly felt horrified, because the strong man standing in front of them suddenly disappeared.

"Sister Li!" The younger man immediately called out.

The beauty covered his mouth and whispered: "Don't make a sound!"

The three immediately squatted in the grass nearby. The older man whispered: "That person just now... could it be the thing behind the curtain?"

The beauty nodded slightly and said: "Very likely! Deliberately leading us in, maybe it's a ghost or monster."

"Then we..."

The three muttered, each of them was terrified. Suddenly, there was a rustling sound not far away. The three looked over by the dim moonlight, and then the three were scared out of their wits, and their hands and feet began to soften.

They saw...

That tall and strong young man, carrying a head wearing a football mask in his hand, walked towards them covered in blood!!
