Chapter 124 The Road to the Shortcut
The dice fell to the ground and rolled around a few times.
"Huh?"
One point.
In other words, Li Nuo can only recover 10%.
He still couldn't see his personal panel, but others looked at him with confusion.
"You seem...to have grown a little taller." Milo said.
"Have you grown taller?" Li Nuo looked at Chen Shou, and it seemed that his vision was slightly different from before.
Li Nuo speculated: "In other words, in the process of restoring numerical values, we will become more and more like our original appearance."
"Uh..." Chen Shou was a little regretful: "That would be boring..."
Li Nuo comforted: "Skinny brother, look at it. Sooner or later, Chu Mushan will turn into a fat middle-aged man with a mistress."
Chen Shouxu looked at him: "Although...but I...forget it."
Then he would have to complain again.
At this time, Li Nuo heard a special prompt from the system: [Only for player 5901, the "Identity Advancement" props you need are hidden in the final BOSS area of the mission] His eyes changed slightly and he looked into the air
. For him, the only goal of this script is the props for [identity advancement]. Now that the goal is determined, he saves a lot of trouble.
"What's wrong?" Cha Bai asked softly from behind.
As the player changes his appearance, his voice will also change. However, although Chabai's appearance has changed, his voice has not.
Li Nuo whispered: "The thing I'm looking for is in the final area."
"That'll be easy..." Cha Bai picked up the dice.
At this moment, everyone had already thrown the dice to the ground.
Milo 20%, Wu Di 20%, Chen Shou 30%.
Among the three, Chen Shou has changed the least. He has only gained weight, and his face has not changed but his body has gained weight, which makes his appearance look like a cartoon character.
Li Nuo took off his glasses, covered his mouth and smiled: "Sorry, thin brother..."
Milo turned his face aside: "Sorry..."
Wu Di also said: "Sorry."
Chen Shou didn't know what happened yet, but Suddenly he received three apologies, which made him understand...that thing must have happened again.
Chen Shou was actually very thin when he was a child. It is normal for children's bodies to change during adolescence. Chen Shou gained weight first in his belly, then in his limbs. It was not until he was twenty years old that his face began to gain weight... He has always been embarrassed by the way he gained weight
. Feeling troubled, facing the attitudes of these three people, I could only lower my head: "Sorry..." The
current scene is very annoying. The four people who can speak are all saying "Sorry", and the ones without complaints are less interesting. .
Cha Bai threw the dice to the ground.
20%.
However, her body shape and appearance remained unchanged in every aspect.
Milo narrowed his eyes and whispered: "This girl has been like this all her life, right?"
Chen Shou shook his head: "Well, I can scare you to death."
A creature with a human face and a bear body appeared in Milo's mind.
Li Nuo frowned. He quickly realized that Chabai had no so-called childhood and youth. She was born that way. Unless it was 100% direct, otherwise... she might have to maintain the appearance of a little black fat girl for a while. .
Also, I would like to mention that her little black girl look is really a black girl, the politically correct kind.
Everyone's eyes focused on Marjie.
He/it is the highlight.
Since everyone slowly changes back to their original appearance as their abilities recover, how does Marjie change from a dog back to a human?
The dice fell to the ground.
10%.
"Damn..." Li Nuo covered his forehead in disappointment: "Why are you so unlucky?"
Chen Shou said: "...Have you forgotten that you are also 10%?"
Li Nuo said: "You put people on the line ? Comparing dogs?"
Chen Shou laughed: "...Dogs are much safer than you."
"You have learned how to complain, right?" Li Nuo made a mean smile with his still naive face: "It's meaningless. , I'm immune."
"I'm just sarcastic! Why do you think I'm complaining!"
"But you are indeed complaining now..." Wu Di said.
Chen Shou decided to shut up for the time being.
But when they looked at Marjie again, this guy's face always felt weird...
and even a little scary after seeing it too much.
Can you imagine a dog's eyes radiating the aura of Long Aotian?
[The one-minute time limit has expired]
[I would like to explain two things here. The first time I use dice is to teach novices, so the maximum number is fixed at four points, which means that only very few players can recover 40%] Li Nuo nodded
. : "No wonder."
[But this situation will change after you find the BOSS hidden in every corner]
[The second thing is that every time the mini-BOSS is defeated, the player who contributed the most in the process will receive a reward. This item can be given to anyone in the team at will]
[Since you are starting as a team, when the number of deaths in the brave team is greater than or equal to 3, the mission will be judged to have failed for everyone in the team] [The above are all tips
]
[Players are asked to explore the rest on their own]
[I wish all brave men a successful return]
[Seven minutes later, the protective layer will be lifted, and you will start your journey]
Li Nuo: "It's quite a cheating setting."
Milo agreed: "Yes, It's only one hour, but we have to go to the location of the final boss. The only way to upgrade during this period is to defeat the mini-boss. There are zombies blocking the way, and we are a group of elementary school students... and there is a dog." "That's right.
" Li Nuo nodded: "Just three high school students can defeat our group."
Chen Shou pointed at himself: "Although it's useless to say... but I should be a junior high school student now."
Wu Di raised his eyebrows, showing his With the iconic forehead lines, he said with a smile: "Don't think about this. The most troublesome thing for us now is not knowing how to get to the place where we fight the BOSS." Milo said: "Yes, we must find out what the final BOSS is
. The locations of various mini-bosses and the city road map are the difficult points."
Wu Di continued: "We also need to consider which bosses to defeat, but there should be some places to guide us... but it is still very troublesome."
Chen Shou looked at it He glanced at Li Nuo and asked, "You can't do anything, right?"
Li Nuo replied in surprise, "How do you know?"
Milo looked over and said, "Oh? What do you think Nobita has to say this time?"
Li Nuo: "Go directly to the final BOSS."
The wind was very noisy and the people were very silent.
"Are you crazy?" Wu Di asked.
"I understand what he means." Milo said: "The mission level is from 10 to 35, which means that if we pass the level with full status, we can only get the lv10 reward in the end, but if we pass the level with the lowest status, we can get the lv35 reward. Reward."
"Almost." Li Nuo said: "So as long as you get enough supplies on the road, you can actually pass the level at the lowest level."
Chen Shou suddenly thought of the three-person expedition team in "NieR" The journey was dangerous. If there were no cars, women and resistance forces, the car would have overturned halfway, so he reminded: "Let's... be careful, after all, we have no ability now." Milo nodded: "
Although There is such a thing as level 1 clearance, but in most cases there is no error tolerance, and the group can be wiped out if you are not careful. You should do the tasks you should do... and there is another problem. Even if you say you want to do it directly How to get to the final BOSS? It is true that there are likely to be guide signs on the road, but there may also be signposts deliberately pointing the wrong way." Milo's thinking ability made Li Nuo feel that this guy can be in the same place
. He then said: "Okay, I'll listen to you, but about the road... let's take a look first and then talk about it."
Anyway, it is a team task. Li Nuo feels that when opinions are not unified, if it has no impact on the general situation, there is no need to fight over anything. .
No matter how he proceeds with the mission, his end point is the prop for his [Identity] advancement.
[Countdown with three minutes left]
[The mission is about to officially begin]
[This city has been occupied by zombies, and only a few people are still hugging each other for warmth, but...who knows who is good and who is bad, in the apocalypse , human nature cannot withstand any test]
Milo: "Hey? How come there is still more?"
[However, the brave men who are ready to destroy the evil dragon and the bane, you have to go through many tests to reach the end]
[Now, the boy is ready to set sail]
Li Nuo : "I have an ominous premonition."
[Sail the blue sea and explore the world, adventure is at your feet, and all living creatures will sing for you]
[Beautiful angel is calling you from afar! Brave young man! Go and create a miracle! 】
Except for Cha Bai, everyone else felt that their brains were being raped by the demonic singing.
"You thought I hadn't heard this version of "The Cruel Angel's Programme", right?" Li Nuo complained.
Milo sighed: "You have quite a wide range of interests."
Li Nuo laughed: "I can still sing, do you want me to sing it backwards?"
Wu Di: "Brother, I beg you, this script is enough I'm crazy, don't force me..."
Chen Shou looked at the trash can next to him with a pair of dull eyes. Another mentally polluted person was about to appear. He felt that he was no longer alone.
Let’s talk about it.
Chen Shou must admit that with Li Nuo here, the entire team atmosphere is harmonious and cheerful.
This is the special thing about some people. They can always rely on some strange qualities to make a group of people move together without any material basis.
The most important thing is that he can dissipate all the previous fear in a strange way.
Especially after Chen Shou himself experienced a mission, this feeling became stronger.
Therefore, Fat Brother's mentality towards this mission is to just follow him and do whatever he asks.
The hood is gone.
A white light appeared in front of Li Nuo's eyes.
No one knows why a white light appears.
Wu Dixu said with eyes: "Nobita... Doraemon asked you to collect your magical powers."
As soon as he finished speaking, the white light disappeared and turned into a pair of red and white sneakers.
[The reward for the person with the highest contribution to the prologue has been transferred]
[Running Shoes]
[Quality: Normal]
[Effect: Short-distance running speed increased by 10%, physical strength consumption reduced, duration 10 seconds, cooling time 5 minutes]
[Brief description: Small Xiaozhi returned home and wanted to see his mother, but his mother gave him a pair of running shoes and told him, "Run quickly and rush to the dawn of the future." Xiaozhi was very moved, but he was also curious about why his mother wanted to Give me running shoes? 】
"It seems that Doraemon didn't ask me to use my magical powers, but my mother was worried that I would cause trouble for her." Li Nuo happened to be wearing slippers, so he simply changed into running shoes.
Then he stamped his feet and asked: "I am the weakest among us. I wear the running shoes myself. Do you have any objections?"
He glanced at Wu Di's narrowed eyes and said: "If you don't believe it, we Let's have a fight. I promise to make you feel comfortable."
Wu Di covered his forehead and lowered his head: "Brother... I believe it, I believe you can't beat me."
Li Nuo: "Then don't forget to protect me, we two But we are a team."
Wu Di: "Okay, don't worry, as long as you shut up, I will protect you to death."
Milo asked Chen Shou in a low voice: "Can I ask, didn't you and him form a team before? , is this the case?"
Chen Shou said resentfully: "Believe me, it hasn't started yet."
Milo was stunned.
Chen Shou added: "But not only will he not harm you, but he is also very good at helping others, so don't worry."
Milo is just curious. He has gone through 7 scenarios in total, and he is considered a player with a high clearance rate. I have seen all kinds of people along the way. The basic operation is to do whatever it takes to gain benefits. Some people have a great performing personality, making themselves feel like they are in the apocalypse and are cold-blooded to the end, pretending to be highly intelligent and psychotic. People, people who base their personal values on scripts and want to make changes in the world.
To be honest, he hated those guys.
Personal selfish behavior without purpose will only lead to failure.
Gradually, by the sixth script, Milo was tired of the so-called strife.
There are not many players like him in the "Endless Corridor". They are arrogant, unable to be bad people, and lonely. The final result is often isolated by the player group, unable to integrate into other people's teams, and it is impossible to win over the team on their own.
Back to business. At this time, the system has prompted: [The seven-minute countdown has ended].
The transparent cover disappears.
A strange and eerie roar reached everyone's ears.
Several strange things crawled out of a store on the side of the road on the left side of the block.
Li Nuo, Chen Shou, Cha Bai and Milo noticed those things at the first time, because they were hiding in the corner and couldn't see their specific appearance, but from the outline... they seemed to be a bit Cthulhu.
"I remember, there are some zombies, right?" Li Nuo pushed up his glasses and said: "Some have three hands, some have two mouths, and there are also creatures with knives in their hands, deformed creatures... ...Hey, did you run into the wrong set?"
Marjie: "Wow..."
"Don't be like dogs." Li Nuo walked in the other direction: "The system is telling us primary school students not to go that way."
If it were under normal circumstances, Li Nuo would definitely rush up and dismember them. Look. If you can't see the treasure, or go to the building behind them, the presence of danger will most likely indicate that there is something inside.
He kept the location in his mind.
The speed of the zombies was not fast at the beginning, even very slow, just to create a sense of oppression.
But as time went on, they moved faster.
Then, groups of deformed zombies jumped out from the buildings on both sides.
Several players ran wildly like flowers. Li Nuo came behind and counted the number from the mirror in the corner: "12 in total." "
Now... now is not the time to count!" Chen Shouyin recovered 30% of his ability. , so it runs the fastest, but players have no equipment in their hands and will not choose to attack rashly when faced with the pursuit of such a creature of unknown strength.
Escape seemed to be the only option.
"Turn left at the intersection ahead." Li Nuo said.
Chen Shou was obedient. He knew that what Li Nuo said would not be wrong, so he turned directly into an alley.
"Hey! This is an alley!" Wu Di shouted.
"Listen to him." Cha Bai pushed him.
Wu Di was shocked. This fat little black guy ran pretty fast?
Li Nuo was still at the back, and the number of zombies behind him had shrunk from 12 to 6, but they were getting faster and faster, and would even climb along the wall.
On the left side of the alley is an open space, on the right is a chemical plant, and in front is a road... The map I found at Ms. Asahina's house has been imprinted in my mind.
As he ran, he took off his backpack and took out the glass bottles, linen and alcohol that had been placed early in the morning.
With the linen in his mouth, he looked back and saw a zombie jumping over very fast.
"What are these things?" He complained in his mind, using his running shoes to speed up, and while pulling away a little distance, he made a simple and rough version of the Molotov cocktail and pinned it to his waistband.
Then he took out a small can of freshener from the waistband of his pants.
"Ah——"
A howl reminded Li Nuo that it was time to roll. He threw himself down and rolled around in an awkward position, avoiding a zombie's flying attack. The moment the thing landed on the ground, his body's bones and flesh separated into a puddle. Mud, but the head keeps turning, the weak point is the head.
The moment Li Nuo stood up, he lit the Molotov cocktail and threw it back, leaving behind a fire that was not too intense.
A fork appeared in front of Chen Shou.
Li Nuo: "Left!"
Chen Shou immediately turned around and ran to the left.
At this time, Li Nuo entangled the freshener with broken nails and a friction lighter.
When he was the last one to rush around the corner, he wiped the freshener across the wall, lit the lighter, and threw it into the air behind him.
In the chase of zombies, he hit the wall at the fork in front, took out the nail gun he had prepared and threw it to Chen Shou on the left, then turned back and ran to the right.
Wu Di frowned: "What is he going to do?"
"You don't have to worry about that." Chen Shou's eyes flashed, and he seemed to be a different person with a long-range weapon in his hand: "Just listen."
At this moment, the flame of the lighter will Freshener detonates!
The nails packed with it were impacted by the explosion, forming an explosive force like a fragmentation grenade. Dozens of nails shot through the oncoming zombies.
Only a zombie with two heads rushed out.
Li Nuo whistled at it.
The zombie turned its head and was stunned for a second before Chen Shou pulled the trigger of the nail gun.
The nail went straight through the back of the zombie's head, and it suddenly fell to the ground. It also had another head on Li Nuo's side. Even if only one of the two heads was left, it couldn't be completely solved.
Li Nuo rushed over and took out a rather thin chair leg from his bag.
He rushed over, moved his pupils quickly to the left, made sure there were no other zombies, and stabbed the tube directly into the eye of the other head of the two-headed zombie.
He stomped it on the ground and stabbed its eye sockets repeatedly until his brain was mixed up. Then he pulled out the stick and dropped a layer of sticky liquid.
He took a long breath and wiped the sweat from the top of his head.
A simple-looking primary school student, with a nonchalant look on his face, kept thrusting a stick into the eyes of a twisted zombie. The visual impact of this scene was huge.
As a result, Milo and Wu Di on the other side were silent.
"No, you're not surprised anymore?" Chen Shou asked.
"Lao Ma, are there any more?" Li Nuo asked.
Marger sniffed and shook the dog's head.
Milo asked: "If I guess correctly...did you make a Molotov cocktail and a fragmentation mine while running?" "
Well, almost." Li Nuo bent down and used an iron rod to pull the zombie's legs. Corpse: "It's so strange... Why didn't the equipment explode..."
Milo added: "You let us enter the alley just to maximize the power of the explosives?" "
Yes, but I still have a lot of use for that bottle of freshener. , find a supermarket to get some chemicals, which can be used to make super powerful bombs. This is an emergency." Li Nuo said: "The purpose of the system should be to let zombies chase us and guide us to a dead end or directly The place that triggers the next plot."
"Wait...how do you know this is an alley?" Wu Di said: "Accidents will happen in the alley, and if you are surrounded, you will not be able to escape."
Li Nuo took out the map to them, Then he said: "The simple map drawn by Ms. Asahina basically marked the locations of supermarkets and other areas. There are open spaces and tall windowless buildings on the left and right sides of this alley. As you can see from just now, the zombie group cannot browse more than one floor. The alley is safe due to the high wall. At the end of the front is a street leading to a large supermarket. Unexpectedly, there will be accidents there. For example, zombies will pop out and chase us into the supermarket. However, if we go out from the right side of the alley where I am, We should be able to go to a place where humans live in groups."
Wu Di looked at the very complicated road network on the map, and his mind was confused: "Are you sure?"
Li Nuo pointed to his head and said, "From what I saw on the map, From that moment on, roads, shops, useful areas, dangerous areas, everything has been classified in the mind. Now we still have one way to go, which is to go back and follow the system again, but that won't Are you bored?"
He walked to another zombie corpse and continued: "The system said that there is no hidden world view and no side tasks. This does not mean that there are no shortcuts." He stretched out his hand and
Cha Bai gave him the kitchen knife in tacit understanding. Then while chopping off the head of a zombie, he said: "If you want to listen, I'll start with the setting concept."
Seeing no one spoke, Li Nuo raised his head and said: "The name of the mission is 'Dragon Quest' , represents an RPG concept. The so-called RPG is to cultivate the protagonist to become stronger and stronger to complete increasingly difficult events. Upgrading, obtaining props, purchasing goods, fighting monsters, and triggering BOSS battles are all fixed routines. , among which 'Dragon Quest' is the most traditional and representative Japanese RPG game."
"We were selected as braves because we completed the prologue. We walked to the big map and encountered the first batch of monsters. The next step should be adventures and various nonsense plots. I plan to skip these and go directly to the next step, find the Novice Village, and go Buy props, and..." He chopped off the head of a zombie. This guy looked to be the strongest of all the zombies. It also had a serrated knife in its hand. Li Nuo threw it to Wu Di, who looked the strongest.
Then he said: "Use the first time you kill monsters to get the 'hidden reward'."
Milo was dumbfounded: "What...means?"
This was the first time that he couldn't follow someone's train of thought.
Li Nuo said: "It's very simple. Think about why these zombies appeared?"
Milo said: "Chase the players to the next location."
"Yes, the mission time is only one hour. What we call the road should be planned. Okay, but there are shortcuts in any game, just like life." Li Nuo paused and said, "There is a shotgun hanging on the wall of the living room, so the shotgun must shoot out bullets in the end. Just like this, guns Sometimes the existence of zombies is not for shooting, but may also be to obtain other benefits, just like the existence of zombies. On the one hand, it is to lead us to the next location, on the other hand... it may also be some kind of reward."
Wu Di touched his forehead: "Um...then what?"
"Then?" Li Nuo said with a smile: "Give the rewards to the people in Novice Village. There must be a temporary camp organized by survivors here." "
You said that. Half a day, do you know where the survivor camp is?"
"There were three groups of players at the beginning. Look at the location on the map. We are on the far right side of the city. In addition, there are two main roads, which should be the two groups of players. In the area, every road has two big corners. There are unplanned open spaces or factories suitable for joint defense in the corner area. I don’t believe you if you say there is nothing there.” Li Nuo didn’t need to look at the map at all: “In the RPG game , players always have to go to different cities to replace equipment. If this is 'Dragon Quest', the concept should be the same. There are equipment items in both gathering areas, and the items sold in the second area are better than the first one. , but it requires more resources to purchase."
He wrapped the zombie's head with linen and stuffed it into the bag: "The process should be that the zombies chase us to the first area, and then go there to trigger several mini-BOSS levels, complete One or two of them will then go to the second area. When they are finally upgraded enough to face the greatest danger, they will go to the final BOSS area. The two groups of players will work together to kill the BOSS. The mission is over." Wu Di's brain was already numb
. , he glanced at Milo, who asked: "Can you..."
"A painter, not a famous cartoonist." Li Nuo answered quickly, and then he said: "If you two think that my statement is tenable for the time being, or you can try Let's try, can we move?"
Chen Shou asked: "Then we... are going to buy equipment?"
Li Nuo said: "Otherwise we, a group of primary school students and these zombies, are going to hug each other and gnaw at us, right?"
Chen Shou: "You kid? He must be a critical cartoonist..."
Li Nuo: "Hey~ I plan to switch to H comics recently."
He joked and walked to the front to lead the way.
His mind was spinning, it would be great if Marger was not a dog, and there would be someone to discuss it with. He felt that this task did not hide the problem of the world view itself.
We need to think about how to crack the hidden worldview in a world where there is no hidden worldview.
Milo walked behind and stared at Li Nuo, touching his chin: "Demushan... I understand what you said, he..." "You thought it had started
? No... He has just started making plans now, believe me... ...Next he will definitely cause accidents that normal people cannot imagine to happen." Chen Shou patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, fortunately the other one is still a dog... Otherwise, for normal people like you and me... ...More terrifying."
Milo frowned, what's this...
Marger sighed, and couldn't help but urinate against the wall.
According to Li Nuo, they really found an area similar to a "camp".
Called a camp, it was actually a fortress made of sacks. There were no machine guns and only two men with crude homemade firearms stood at the door.
Li Nuo walked over without any worries.
Chen Shou grabbed him.
"Hey, hey, hey... they have guns in their hands."
Li Nuo said, "We are unarmed and brave primary school students, don't worry about this."
He looked at Marjie and kicked him: "Just act cute."
Marjie resented. Wagging his tail, Milo followed suit and waggled his hands: "To be honest... I feel like whether I can go in or not is a problem..."
Li Nuo was the last one, looking around and looking around.
Cha Bai said, "Don't worry, there's nothing nearby."
"I'm just afraid that a zombie will pop out suddenly and meet Ai around the corner." Li Nuo followed Cha Bai as he spoke, and before he took two steps, he noticed something behind him. A figure flashed through the window of a building not far away.
The next second, Li Nuo's vision suddenly darkened.
On the other side, Milo was talking to the soldiers guarding the door.
"We are really elementary school students..."
"Then you have to show the pass for the first camp." As the soldier said, someone walked out from behind.
"Let a group of children go in and do a disinfection inspection after entering." The speaker was a man with a big beard. He counted and said: "A dog and four children..." "No, it's five children."
Mi. Luo said.
However, Marger suddenly shouted.
They turned around and found that Li Nuo was missing.
...
Li Nuo opened his eyes, and the surroundings were pitch black, so dark that he couldn't see his fingers.
The humid air was filled with the pungent smell of formalin, and the temperature was just right, but something felt a little wrong.
Li Nuo subconsciously wanted to move, but found that the area below his neck seemed to be imprisoned and unable to move.
Suddenly the lights came on for a second, then returned to darkness again.
In just this second, a lingering image was left on Li Nuo's retina.
Opposite him, there was a woman with a pale face standing two meters away. Although he only caught a glimpse of her, Li Nuo could still tell that it was not a person.
How is it possible for a human head to grow under the crotch?
Li Nuo instantly felt his scalp numb and couldn't concentrate.
He is also a human being and will be afraid of unknown things. Although he did not see the specific appearance of his facial features, the bloodless face reminded him of Kayako Saeki. When the fearful thing in his mind was awakened, the weak fear was increased several times. .
[The mini-BOSS mission has been triggered: Send this bitch home]
When I heard the system voice, my upper body regained mobility.
He took a deep breath, opened his teeth, pushed out his tongue, and bit down hard!
The tip of the tongue was crushed hard by the sharp front teeth, a faint iron smell spread throughout the mouth, and the pain went straight to the brain.
The feeling of being tightly restrained instantly eased, the fear dissipated a little, and reason regained the high ground of will.
At this time, there was a faint light behind him, and he looked sideways. A double door slowly opened a gap, and the light source spread from the outside. At the same time, the system voice appeared again: [You can take action] [Failure
condition
1 : Please clear the level within ten minutes. Once it times out, you will be deemed to have given up survival and will be judged as dead]
[Failure condition 2: She likes to eat from the feet]
