I don't know whether he died on the road or hid somewhere else. The new NPC member of the player's team was not found in the half-collapsed gas station.
These alien monsters cannot survive for a long time in an area without fog. The burning flames of gasoline dispelled the fog and also created a relatively safe area around the gas station.
Taking advantage of the absence of mosquitoes and monsters for the time being, Luo Jie and his group split into two groups. One group stayed outside to refuel the Hummer, while the other group entered the small convenience store at the gas station to collect food and drinking water.
After completing the supplies, the group got into the Humvee and hit the road again.
During this period, other players seemed to have encountered encounters. The red number in the upper right corner of the visual projection would decrease by a few players from time to time. When Luo Jie and others used the gas station range, the number had dropped to an astonishing 532 people.
.
"It seems that the newcomer is almost dead."
When Luo Jie said this, he subconsciously looked at Reika Shimohira, Sei Sakuragaoka, Ryoichi Suzuki, and Megumi Kishimoto in the carriage.
Yes, although Megumi Kishimoto has lived through a fantasy world, in terms of mentality, she is actually not more mature than Reika Shimohira and the others, but her equipment is relatively better.
These people seemed to be able to see the shocking blood-red numbers, and there was a hint of luck on their faces. If they had not been randomly assigned to this powerful team, they would have become one of the hundreds of disappearing numbers.
Already.
Luo Jie glanced at the time displayed on the dashboard of the Hummer. It was already six thirty in the evening.
The sunlight from the outside world has completely disappeared. Without turning on the lights, you can no longer see your fingers in the fog of the outside world.
In this harsh environment, except for a few players with special detection skills like him, others have completely lost their ability to move around in the outside world, and the killings among each other have temporarily stopped.
"Should we continue on our way now?" Shimohira Linghua tried to ask.
Her pretty porcelain doll-like face showed obvious fatigue. Driving in such a foggy environment with extremely low visibility was a great test for her physical strength and energy.
"No, the car lights are too obvious in the dark environment. Not only will they attract fog monsters, but they will also easily attract the prying eyes of other players. Let's find a relatively safe place to rest for the night and wait until early tomorrow morning..."
Just as Luo Jie said this, he suddenly heard a strange cry coming from the fog outside the car window.
This kind of cry sounds like someone laughing unbridled.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--!
Hearing this weird sound, Luo Jie couldn't help but froze. He seemed to remember something for a moment. He ignored Ping Linghua's orders and leaned over from the passenger seat and quickly turned on the car lights.
The bright car lights pierced the fog, and a penguin-like creature was seen staggering across the road in front of the car. The strange hahaha sound came from its mouth.
"What... is this? Is it also a monster in the fog?"
Everyone's eyes looked a little weird, because unlike the fog monster they had seen before, this large penguin-like creature did not have the ferociousness and terror that a monster should have. Instead, it was because of its furry body, big round eyes, and head.
The stupid hair on the top actually gives people a cute and naive feeling.
"Does anyone want to improve their G-score?"
Luo Jie suddenly laughed out of question.
…
The hahaha penguin-shaped monster walked leisurely in front of it, not taking the Hummer following behind it seriously at all.
"Brother Night Dire, when you say you want to increase your G-score, don't you mean this thing?" "Succulents" is a bit unbelievable. The big bird in front of you looks like a harmless guy.
Luo Jie smiled noncommittally and continued to drive, following the strange bird in front of him through ultrasound vision.
It was only when he heard the unique laughter that he heard that he suddenly remembered that the guide of the previous explorer once mentioned that in the fantasy world of "The Mist", there is a kind of chocobo bird creature with very special habits - the sand sculpture.
This kind of creature will wander around looking for food during the day, and at night, it will rush back to the group's habitat to spend the night very punctually.
Moreover, they have an extremely bizarre habit. Once they find a luminous object at night, they will fall into a collective state of onlookers and make a unique cry of hahaha.
At this time, the sand sculpture will be extremely slow to changes in the outside world. No matter how loud it makes a noise, it will generally not react at all.
No one knows why the system includes this creature in the list of g-score creatures. It is almost like a score-boosting bug specially prepared for players.
However, the habitat of sand sculptures is very difficult to find. Finding these sand sculptures depends entirely on your character.
After following the sand sculpture in front of them for more than an hour, Luo Jie and his party discovered that they had actually circled back to the lake.
All the lights of the Hummer were turned on, and under the bright light, hundreds of sand sculptures were huddled together to rest.
Seeing a sudden white light in the fog, these cute-looking big birds immediately stopped all movements, as if they had been cast a restraining spell, staring at the dazzling light from the car lights with their big eyes.
.
(⊙(⊙(⊙(⊙◇⊙)(⊙◇⊙)(⊙◇⊙)(⊙◇⊙)(⊙◇⊙)⊙)⊙)⊙)
Luo Jie opened the car door and jumped out of the car. He showed out [Ming Knife·Pufferfish Poison] and [Flying Snow·Dark Chaser] in his hands. Under the surprised eyes of everyone in the car, he rushed into the group of sand sculptures and danced two lines of several meters.
The long and terrifying sword awn fell down a large area like wheat.
Others also noticed the weirdness of this sand sculpture, and they all got out of the car and started killing like Luo Jie.
Compared to fellow human players, the psychological burden of killing these alien creatures is obviously much smaller. Even Megumi Kishimoto, the most courageous member of the team, had the courage to kill dozens of sand sculptures alone.
Hundreds of sand sculptures were quickly slaughtered by Luo Jie and his party, and the fishy blood dyed the entire land near the lake dark red.
Kishimoto Megumi and Shimohira Reika were the first to be unable to bear it any longer, so they ran to the side and vomited.
The team that has seen blood is completely different from the team that has not seen blood. After this one-sided massacre, the eyes of the newcomers such as Shimohira Reika became calmer, and their temperament began to appear unknowingly.
A little different transformation.
Under Kishimoto Megumi's suggestion and personal demonstration, three newcomers including Shimohira Reika gave priority to redeeming the [X-gun pistol].
Although the shooting distance of this thing is only an extremely embarrassing ten meters, and there is a delay time of a few seconds, it is a long-range weapon after all, and it is most suitable for newcomers like them who have little combat experience.
