The mission can't be that simple. There must be a reason why the alien beasts are getting stronger.
Players don't know where the NPC survivors are sent. The only places they have been to so far are gas stations, shelters, and massacre wastelands.
Ji Yu calculated that there were no human beings on the safe map, which was completely unreasonable.
If there are survivor NPCs, there must be a human survival base, but the system currently does not open the map to players.
Most S-level dungeons are like this. Not all dungeon maps will be open to players to prevent players from deducing them all and passing the level early.
——Ding! Players are asked to go to the mountains in the north to rescue survivors.
Early in the morning, the system announcement rang.
All the players gathered at the gas station, and a bus appeared here. The system obviously asked the players to complete the task together today.
"Holy crap, isn't that the den of alien beasts we visited before?" Akino cursed.
Qin Baiwan recalled it for a moment, and then cursed, "Holy shit, that's really the place!"
Upon hearing this, Zou Yu immediately ran over to inquire about the information, "What happened? You encountered a den of alien beasts!"
"On the day we were rescued by Himegami and the others, our second group was extremely unlucky. The NPC failed to rescue us, and one of us died..."
"Akino." Wen Duan shouted, "Let me explain."
Wen Duan specifically asked Gao Shunchen to take Qi Jinglan to the side to prevent him from being uncomfortable hearing about Tang Shuibai's death.
After that, Wen Duan told the story of what the second group encountered on the other side of the mountain, without exaggerating or concealing anything.
Even though two days had passed, Wen Duan still felt a little frightened when he thought about it. The second group of them almost died at that time.
"Can't you two teams lose an hour today?" Yuan Yi suddenly reminded.
The text emphasized, "If the system does not prohibit us from killing the alien beasts, the second group will definitely seek revenge on the alien beasts!"
He didn't expect to go to the mountains to kill strange beasts today. If he had known about it, he definitely wouldn't have asked Ji Shen for help yesterday.
"Some people just like to be mean to others." Akino snorted, "Team Wen, our second team just needs to have a clear conscience."
Both the second group and the first group had members die, but the second group died trying to save people, while the first group was killed by its own members.
Xiao Yuanling's death was confirmed to be Hu Ni's handiwork, but the other players in the group didn't seem to care.
Yuan Yi said to Qiuye with a half-smile, "I hope you can live until the day when you feel no regrets."
"Threaten me?" Akino sneered, "Your beliefs cannot cover the sky with one hand. Don't think that the world will be big if you are supported by others."
"You two groups, please stop arguing. Ji Shen and his four groups have already boarded the car." Zou Yu stood up and concluded.
"Captain Zou, hurry up!" Feng Zijing opened the window and waved to Zou Yu.
When the other two groups of players saw that the car was about to leave, they did not continue to argue.
Whether they can survive in the end depends on their strength, not their words.
"Drive." Jing Yuxing said to Xia Qingqu when he saw the last player getting in the car.
Four groups of them sat in the front row, followed by three groups, then two groups, and one group sat in the last row.
The bus is not as fast as the car, so Xia Ququ used his maximum horsepower to get the players to their destination before the massacre started.
No one had time to chat. Several groups of players were preparing for battle, thinking about how to go up the mountain without stepping into the den of alien animals.
"Jishen, do you want to form a team?" Zou Yu came over in advance to greet the four groups.
Ji Yu looked at Cang Xi, "Group?"
Cang Fei glanced at the third group and saw the captain of the second group also coming with people, "Noisy."
He wanted to be alone in a group. How could he form a team of more than a dozen people? It would be too noisy.
Wen Duan watched the fourth group turn around and start climbing the mountain. He wisely did not lead his teammates to catch up, and discussed forming an alliance with the third group.
Players from one group have no intention of forming alliances with other groups.
If Yuan Yi, the leader of a group, offends Mr. Cang, he is tantamount to offending Ji Shen. Forming a team is a delusion.
What's more, Yuan Yi is too independent.
Although Yuan Yi has good strength and calculation ability, he is very autocratic and does not want to obey orders. He only likes to give orders.
Players with high morale, if they have some strength, will definitely not want to be controlled by players with a lower level than themselves.
Yuan Yi's behavior is not just about restraint, he is the kind of person who wants his teammates to regard him as the king and is willing to die for him.
You said, that's it?
Who would want to form a team with such a person? Wouldn’t it be stupid to do so?
The four groups of players didn't care how the other groups cooperated. The four of them had already climbed halfway up the mountain.
"The smell here is very strong." Cang Xi reminded.
Although he didn't tell him to be careful, the other three people could feel Big Brother Cang's concern.
After all, for a person with a personality like his who is difficult to get along with, he is already very good at reminding others, and no one expects him to be too enthusiastic.
Ji Yu lowered his voice and asked, "Is it a den of alien animals?"
"Change the road." Cang Ji did not answer directly, but asked to change the road to climb the mountain immediately.
The other three people had no objections at all. Ji Yu was willing to listen to him, and the opinions of the other two were unimportant.
Before Xia Qingqu left, he deliberately stepped hard on the ground, with his footprints pointing in the opposite direction.
He used his own reminder method to hint to the players behind him not to go past.
Of course, it’s up to them to believe it or not.
Jing Yuxing saw what he was doing, but he didn't stop him. It was because being able to show some kindness to others could be considered a blessing and virtue.
As soon as the four groups left, the second and third groups of players climbed up.
"Captain, wait a minute." Qin Zhi suddenly called out to Zou Yu, who was leading the team in front.
Wen Duan also asked his teammates to stop, and immediately saw the deliberately stepped footprints on the ground.
Both teams stopped and looked at the footprints on the ground and began to guess the reason.
"Captain Zou, what do you think Ji Shen and the others mean?" Wen Duan asked Zou Yu to confirm.
Zou Yu compared the footprints and said, "It should have been left by Xia Qingqu. Maybe he wanted to remind us not to go forward."
Wen Duan was a little skeptical, "Are you sure?"
Zou Yu, who had chatted with Xia Qingqu, nodded, "That person is very simple, he won't do any tricks on purpose."
Qin Zhi also helped by saying, "The players in the fourth group are very upright, and their group is also the strongest. They should not bother to play such dirty tricks."
Feng Zijing laughed and said, "Indeed, I think Mr. Cang prefers to beat people up."
"Okay, since we have chosen to cooperate, our second group should listen to your third group's suggestions." Wen Duan agreed to change the route and climb the mountain.
The second group has suffered losses in the mountains before. It would be really stupid if someone tried to persuade them to do something wrong this time.
Both groups of players decided to believe in Himegami, and the captain and team members unanimously agreed to change paths to climb the mountain.
