Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'

In the eyes of the higher-ups, once the number of people exceeds 10, it becomes an insignificant figure.

But the greatness of humanity lies precisely in being able to transform the warmth and self-love that nature endows to life into rationality and dedication to the destiny of the group.

For the rise and fall of the collective, humans can bear the pain and humiliation of several generations. Behind every rising empire is a sad history of blood and tears.

No matter what problems arise, no matter what sins and mistakes are committed, whether by nature or man-made disaster, as long as faced with dire straits, humans will always stand up to confront adversity.

The sun shines on the desiccated saline-alkali land, snow melts, Lan Cang roars, suffering and calamity will be submerged by seawater, a brand new nation will rise with the sea level until the water covers the mountain tops, and people can reach out to touch the clouds.

The long night of Entropic Zhou has passed; from now on, welcome the glory of midday.

As Frost Plated prepares for a decisive battle on the plains, a severe problem breaks out on the player's side.

Zhengxu Democratic Republic, the capital, San Diego.

The capitals of the Four Nations each have their own unique features. Twin Star City tends to showcase technology and a sense of the future, while Sky Ring's ancient capital Qiong'anjing is a classical and magnificent city, and Red Arrow Imperial City is a fortress of iron and blood, home to the most military academies and government agencies in the world.

And San Diego is undeniably the most beautiful, the largest, and the most suitable for living capital.

San Diego covers an area of 2.1 million square kilometers, a capital that is equivalent to a country. In essence, it truly is; Zhengxu only has two cities: the capital San Diego and the Banahama autonomous region.

In the old days, it was a true water city where citizens commuted by boat, and due to the terrain's impact, the sunlight blockade brought by the Ersha Sky Curtain turned San Diego into a highland island, leaving the past landscape largely unscathed.

The San Diego government seized the opportunity, promptly blocking the seawater, and introduced icebergs from the outside, making Zhengxu the only country among the Four Nations to have a saltwater lake. Water nurtures land, and Zhengxu's unique tropical charm remained unaffected, becoming Azure Star's only tourist destination.

With its beautiful scenery and decent technological level, Zhengxu could remain a permanently neutral country, avoiding involvement in any war. Militarily, Zhengxu's Heberon Arsenal is renowned worldwide, continuously exporting to Sky Ring and Frost Plated, acquiring vast foreign exchange, and then distributing money to residents, elevating the happiness index of Zhengxu People, allowing the government to maintain stability and achieve mutual benefits.

Because of this, compared to the Fiery Summer District players eager to flock to Sky Ring to fight and level up quickly and enjoy the battle process, most Fiery Summer companies and electronic immigrants preferred Zhengxu.

In Zhengxu, electronic immigrants have fully integrated into the local life circle, and the Zhengxu People do not exclude these immigrants. They are merely players without a combat system or those who haven't signed the Lai Anding Medical Protocol. What harm could they do to society?

Real-world enterprises stationed in Zhengxu provided a large number of jobs, and the Zhengxu government was pleased to see this, even allowing real-world military enterprises to station troops in Zhengxu to protect immigrants.

Originally, everything was thriving.

Saying Zhengxu is the Land of the Chosen or a life's winner is insulting to the Zhengxu Democratic Republic. This is simply the Terrestrial Divine Kingdom!

However, when players invaded San Diego, everything they presented could only be described with one word:

"Purgatory."

Yutianxiao of the Qiongyu guild stood on the deck of the battleship, frowning as he looked towards the sea.

The entire Zhengxu Bay was crowded with corpses, some were electronic immigrants, some were Zhengxu People, and many unknown monsters, likely Apostle of Entropy like creatures.

This was an exceptionally brutal massacre, with millions of bodies piled up in the harbor. The ships players were traveling in were provided by the Frost Plated Third Rule Agency, refitted from old-era cargo ships, unable to squeeze in.

Yet, looking externally, the barrier generators of the entire Zhengxu were not destroyed.

It is impossible to know who exactly caused these tragedies.

"Ugh—"

Even with the cognition filter on, seeing the mountains of brains and seas of intestines, watching the lungs and livers quietly decay in the saltwater, with intertwined scents in the air and endlessly flying green flies, all this constantly impacted each player's worldview. Many people simply leaned over the railing and vomited.

"What, what has happened here?"

Xia Yubing, conscripted for labor, had long lost her initial tearless sobbing. The horrific scene deeply pricked her mind. She clung tightly to the railing, fearing that a careless mistake would cause her to fall into a sea of corpses and blood, never to escape.

"I don't know. Find out the truth, liberate San Diego, liberate Zhengxu, that's the task requirement."

The person speaking was Long Yuqiong. Xia Yubing turned her head to look at him. This world competition's solo champion had little reaction to this scene, as if he were watching a roadside pancake stall, a common sight, without the slightest hint of novelty.

"The big ship can only go so far."

Yutianxiao said:

"From here on, we can only land, let's go."

Xia Yubing, who normally does not like playing games, instinctively felt a retreating tendency when seeing this scene. Sensing her fear, Yutianxiao reassured her:
