Yesterday, Su Mo had stayed up all night reading the information that Slash Throat had sold him.
The next morning, the imprint suddenly notified him urgently that his application to guard the Catacombs had been approved.
He was given three hours to report to the designated location!
The destination was in a remote corner of Shanghai, about 200 kilometers away from Su Mo.
As such, Su Mo decided not to take a taxi and instead ran away, reaching his destination in less than an hour.
When Su Mo arrived at his destination, he felt a tense atmosphere.
A huge white shed covered the ground, and people in protective clothing kept coming in and out.
In the distance, many ordinary people looked over worriedly. There were even many people who sobbed softly.
Su Mo came to the huge white shed, and after verifying the Rebirth Mark, a soldier wearing a protective suit and holding a weapon brought him into the shed.
As soon as he entered the white tent, Su Mo felt an extremely uncomfortable aura!
This aura was extremely aggressive!
Even with Su Mo's S class, SS class, and SSS class energy, he was still able to control his body.
His skin also felt a stinging pain!
The closer he got to the center of the shed, the more obvious the pain became!
In the middle of the white shed, a black crack appeared in midair!
The aura that made Su Mo extremely uncomfortable came from the black crack.
At this moment, the black crack was still squirming, as if it was constantly gnawing at the surrounding space.
It looked like the teeth of some unknown monster.
A male reincarnator who looked to be in his thirties was sitting cross-legged in front of the black crack.
It struggled to resist the corrosion of the aura coming from the black crack.
Seeing Su Mo appear, the male reincarnator revealed a relieved expression.
"You're finally here. This crack suddenly appeared this morning.”
"I was the closest reincarnator to this place at that time, so I was transferred here to temporarily cover the shift.”
"A crack?"
Su Mo looked at the black crack strangely. This thing was quite different from the Catacombs that he remembered.
Looking at Su Mo's confused expression, the male reincarnator's face fell as he said,"
"Don't tell me you haven't seen this before.”
After receiving Su Mo's confirmation, the male reincarnator speechlessly slapped his head."
"What are those people from the coordination department doing? Why did you call a pure newbie over?"
"Has it reached the point where even newbies have to take turns guarding?!”
No wonder the man was angry.
Sending a newbie who knew nothing.
Not only would it kill the newbie, but it would also be irresponsible to the ordinary people nearby!
"That…"
Su Mo scratched his head and said,"
"I wasn't forcibly transferred here. I took the initiative to apply to guard the Catacombs."
When she heard Su Mo say that he had applied to come over, she felt that she had to go.
The surrounding staff all turned around and looked at Su Mo.
Although everyone was wearing thick protective clothing, it did not prevent them from expressing their shock.
The soldier who had been leading Su Mo secretly gave him a thumbs up.
Brother is awesome!
He was a man!
"Is it okay for you to take the initiative to apply?"
The male reincarnator looked at Su Mo with a dumbfounded expression before sighing."
"I know why you were transferred here.”
"Who would have thought that a pure rookie like you would take the initiative to apply to guard the Catacombs?”
"Listen carefully."
Knowing that Su Mo was a newbie, the male reincarnator could only temporarily act as a teacher."
"The Catacombs that you read about in the books are all Catacombs that have existed for a long time.”
"And all the Catacombs are like this when they first appear.”
"However, the cracks became bigger and bigger, and it developed into the Catacombs in the books.”
"What you need to do is very simple.”
"First, stop the aura in the crack from spreading and prevent the crack from polluting the nearby land too quickly.”
" Second, if an enemy appears..."
The male reincarnator originally wanted to say that he would repel Su Mo, but when he thought about how Su Mo was a newbie, he changed his words and said,"
"Just hold on for now and call for backup. Wait for the other senior reincarnators to come and help.”
"But remember one thing! Do not let the monsters enter the living quarters of ordinary people!”
"Remember!"
"What will happen if we enter?”Su Mo asked.
The male reincarnator shook his head and said,"Trust me, you don't want to know."”
Su Mo frowned and said," I saw a lot of normal people around. Will the crack affect them?"”
"Of course, as long as the crack appears, pollution is inevitable.”
The male reincarnator said expressionlessly,
"We can only temporarily slow down the spread of the pollution, but we can't completely stop it.”
"If an ordinary person were to come into contact with even a trace of it, their lifespan would be greatly reduced.”
"Generally speaking, the average lifespan of ordinary people living around the rift is twenty-five years lower.”
"So there's no way to remove these cracks? Or move the people around?"
"I know what you're thinking.”
"Move? Move to where?"
"Cracks are appearing all over the world. There is no place that is absolutely safe.”
"Even us reincarnators are inevitably affected, let alone those ordinary people.”
"You're already the greatest help to them by slowing down the spread of the pollution.”
The male reincarnator sighed and said,
"Besides, if you have time to worry about them, why don't you worry about yourself?”
"Me?" Su Mo frowned and asked, Is there a problem?”
"Why do you think no one is willing to guard the crack?”
"Why is there a rotation system?"
The male reincarnator looked at Su Mo with pity and said,"
"Long-term exposure to the rift will cause irreversible damage to the reincarnator's body!”
"You will have to spend a lot of time and energy to resist the invasion of the rift!”
"As long as they are reincarnators guarding the Catacombs, their strength will stagnate or even decline during the period of guarding!”
"Wait a minute!"
Su Mo seemed to have thought of something and frowned."
"The contamination of the rift is unavoidable and cannot be removed.”
"Doesn't that mean that the number of cracks won't decrease, but will only increase?”
" Then many years later-"
"I know what you want to say. When the time comes, the entire world will be swallowed by the rift.”
The male reincarnator said expressionlessly,
"Otherwise, why do you think the living space of humans is getting smaller and smaller?”
"We're just struggling to survive."
As the male reincarnator spoke, the entire white shed fell silent.
The staff members lowered their heads silently, their faces filled with grief.
This was a fact that everyone knew.
Their world is dying
But what could he do?
Life still had to go on, even if he knew that the final destruction would come.
"So you still have a chance to regret now.”
The male reincarnator looked at Su Mo seriously and said,"
"You're just a newbie. You don't know anything.”
"I'll tell the higher-ups that you accidentally made a mistake and ask them to change it.”
"You don't have to waste your time and energy on this.”
In the eyes of the male reincarnators, Su Mo was definitely a hot-blooded young man since he was able to take the initiative to apply to guard the city!
The world was getting worse and worse, and there were people everywhere who wanted to protect themselves.
Countless people went to curry favor with the people of the large families in order to avoid the guards.
Young people like Su Mo were already very rare.
However, the more this was the case, the more he did not want Su Mo to waste his youth here!
Su Mo should have a better future!
"Waste? I don't think so."
Su Mo shook his head and said,"
"What do reincarnators do? Isn't it just protecting ordinary people?"
"If I even avoid such a mission, then what kind of reincarnator am I?”
Hearing Su Mo's simple words, the male reincarnator was stunned.
He had not expected Su Mo to say this.
He hadn't heard this phrase for many years in order to protect ordinary people.
The last time he heard this was decades ago when he was in class.
Every commoner reincarnator would be told by their teachers when they were in school.
Becoming a reincarnator was not to enjoy life or to dominate.
Instead, he had to shoulder more responsibilities and protect those ordinary people who were not strong enough!
However, almost no one would take this sentence seriously.
I've been fighting for more than ten years just to protect ordinary people?
Stop joking.
The staff at the side were so touched that they almost cried.
Su Mo's words instantly saved his depressed mood.
That's right!
We still have such reincarnators!
He couldn't give up hope!
For a moment, everyone was motivated, and even the speed of their work was much faster.
The male reincarnator looked deeply at Su Mo and let out a long breath."
"Then I'll leave this crack to you!”
"Leave it to me."
Su Mo replaced the male reincarnator and arrived in front of the crack.
Originally, after the male reincarnators left, the aura from the crack was about to spread.
However, as Su Mo stepped forward, these auras were like wild wolves that had smelled the fragrance of meat.
They all rushed up to bite Su Mo!
Su Mo silently resisted the invasion of the aura.
Apart from corroding Su Mo's skin, this aura also seemed to want to change Su Mo's body.
It kept drilling into Su Mo's body, and it seemed to be able to penetrate through every hole.
If he was not careful, he would be taken advantage of by these auras!
Su Mo finally understood why guarding was such a difficult task.
He did not dare to relax for even a moment.
Fortunately, his Mysterious Yang Art was very powerful.
The Mysterious Yang Art started to circulate automatically.
It helped Su Mo resist most of the attacks, and Su Mo did not need to spend too much energy.
It was equivalent to AFK Farming.
At the same time, Su Mo also understood the principle behind resisting attacks.
Rather than saying that the reincarnators took the initiative to resist the invasion.
It was better to say that they threw the reincarnators over as sacrifices and used them to attract and consume the aura of the rift.
This would slow down the spread of the crack's aura.
Seeing Su Mo successfully resist the invasion of the spatial crack aura, he was shocked.
The male reincarnator at the side nodded in satisfaction. At the same time, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.
This was just the beginning. Everyone felt that there was no problem at the beginning.
However, it was not that simple to resist the invasion.
As time passed, it was extremely torturous to maintain concentration at all times!
This was also the reason why no one was willing to come.
The mental torture of guarding it was perhaps even more painful than the invasion of the rift's aura.
It was nothing at first, but a day, a week, a month, a year!
When you were waiting here alone, enduring endless torture, you would be able to see through everything.
No one cares about you, no one cares about you.
There was only endless torture.
Even a man of steel would hesitate and be timid.
Su Mo sat on the spot and resisted the attack.
One hour, two hours, ten hours.
It was quiet all the way until night fell.
After the surrounding staff had left.
Su Mo was still silently resisting the attack.
After everyone left, Su Mo let out a long breath.
When he first learned about the rift, he was indeed shocked.
However, Su Mo did not cower in fear.
He was someone with a system!
What others couldn't solve didn't mean that he couldn't!
The crack couldn't be removed?
The world would eventually be destroyed?
Did you ask me?
Su Mo ordered the system,"
"Begin deduction! The first target was to resist the attack with the greatest efficiency!”
"The second goal is to stop the rift from spreading!”
"Model established. Model established."
"Deduction begins!"
