Chapter 136 The Cat Team has made great contributions! (Second update)
Liu Liang carefully pushed open the ajar door in front of him. After seeing that it was still pitch black, he let out a sigh of relief.
Looking down, he didn't know how he climbed so high.
Do you know what I went through?
Oh, you know, after all, as an audience, you watched my defense breaking all the time... and even laughed at me.
"Looks like I can take a breather..."
After two or three hours of repeatedly breaking defenses, Liu Liang had roughly figured out some of the tricks of the game.
For example, the platform he is on at this time is a small safety point, or checkpoint.
"Walking with Darkness" does not have a traditional archiving mechanism, but a new archiving mechanism instead.
To put it simply, it is the same as "Overcome Difficulties with Cats", whichever platform is more prominent will be the save point.
It's just that this save does not necessarily work every time. If it stops here when it falls, it means the save is successful. If it happens to fall, it means the save fails.
Therefore, it can be roughly determined from the terrain that those areas that are obviously protruding in the route are small save points, where you can generally relax.
If it happens to be dark here, that would be even better, and you don't have to worry about zombies harassing you.
Liu Liang calmed down his nervousness a little and continued upward.
Entering the building again, it was still pitch black.
It's just that this building is different from the previous one.
The overall structure of the previous building was still intact. Although the corridors and various rooms were filled with debris, their original state could still be vaguely distinguished.
However, the damage inside the building was very serious. Huge cracks almost penetrated the entire building from top to bottom. Looking up, you can see a huge bottomless hole.
Climbing in such a place is obviously more dangerous.
By accident, I fell back to where I am now.
Liu Liang took a deep breath and prepared to start climbing.
However, at this moment, there was movement in the darkness above the head, and a small stone fell down, "plop", "plop" but rolled on the ground and disappeared into the darkness.
"Holy crap! Are there zombies?"
Liu Liang was startled. Logically speaking, it should be safe here in the dark, but the designer of the game didn't follow the rules, so he quickly activated the night vision function of the camera.
Then, he saw two points of light in the darkness, shining brightly and very eye-catching.
"This is... a cat?"
Liu Liang was stunned. Through the picture in the night vision device, he could roughly tell that it was a solid-colored cat. As for the specific color, it was hard to say because the image of the night vision device was black and white.
However, judging from the size, it is most likely a black cat.
After all, there are only four common solid-color cats, black, white, blue and orange. Among them, white cats are definitely not suitable; blue cats are too fat and their body shapes do not match; orange cats can see subtle pattern changes under night vision devices, which is also not suitable.
When he saw the cat, Liu Liang instantly became extremely wary.
Even more alert than zombies.
As for why specifically? Apparently it was because this scene triggered some kind of memory.
High places, cats, climbing mountains, falling stones...these factors are superimposed, and it is really easy to think of that cheating game, "Overcoming Difficulties with Cats".
In that game, Maomao is purely a bad thing, making people hate him with all his heart.
So what about in this game?
Liu Liang instinctively stayed away from it.
The black cat was obviously wary of him, and quickly ran up and disappeared.
"Huh... it scared me. I always felt like it was going to suddenly throw stones at my head when I was climbing the wall and knock me to the next floor...
“It seems like this is just a small easter egg, it shouldn’t be any important game content.
"What game is wrong to link with? It has to be linked with "Overcome Difficulties with Cats".
"Speaking of which, I envy cats so much. It's much easier to climb walls than me..."
The route that cats climbed up is useless no matter how hard humans try.
Liu Liang didn't take this matter too seriously and continued climbing up.
At this stage, the difficulty of parkour and zombie avoidance in the game itself has not been significantly improved, but the puzzle-solving link has been added, so it still becomes more difficult for players.
The game puzzles in "Walking with Darkness" generally range from easy to difficult. The puzzles at this initial stage are basically more conventional puzzle modes.
There is a certain level of challenge, but it is not too difficult for players to get stuck.
For example, the puzzle at this stage is to first find the key and open the control room of the tower crane, then find the fuel, activate the fuel generator to provide power for the tower crane, then go to the cab of the tower crane to move the boom, and finally pass the boom
Move to another building.
The difficulty of each step is actually not high, but in the dangerous darkness and the interference of zombies and mechanical hunters, players still feel a brand new challenge.
Liu Liang found the keys and fuel with great difficulty and activated the generator.
As the sound of "rumbling" sounded, the generator started running, and the connected lights became brighter.
The sound of zombies starting to move around was immediately heard.
"Damn, I knew it!
"Fortunately, I roughly memorized the locations of these zombies in advance!"
Liu Liang guessed that a sound would inevitably attract zombies, so during the process of solving the puzzle, he deliberately recorded the locations of the zombies who had lost their vitality.
In other games, zombies are basically attracted by sound or light. Players actually have no way of determining where they will come from. After all, they are all refreshed by game mechanics.
But "Walking with Darkness" is different, these zombies are lying in the dark.
During the process of exploring and solving puzzles, players can turn on the night vision goggles to observe the locations of all zombies in advance, and roughly plan their escape routes.
This provides players with another strategic option.
Liu Liang was cautious at this time. He had roughly planned his escape route, so even though he was panicked under the siege of a large number of zombies, he was still able to stumble into the cab of the tower crane, move the boom, and
Finally came to the jib.
The other end of the boom was his destination, a large hole halfway up another building.
But the problem is that the length of the boom is not particularly long. There is still a distance of more than two meters in the middle, which he needs to jump over.
If he fails due to interference from zombies or nervousness, he will fall from the sky and reach the original garbage dump.
Just four words, exciting!
"Walking with Darkness" allows every player to experience the feeling of "the master is among the people, but the failure is in the underworld".
The tower crane itself is not used for running. There are no guardrails or protection measures on the boom, and it is also quite narrow.
If it is a computer game, you only need to point the mouse forward and keep running. However, this is a VR game. Even if Liu Liang runs in the right direction, he may slip and fall.
What's more, there are walking zombies chasing behind.
"It's so exciting!"
Not only Liu Liang, but also the audience in the live broadcast room had their hearts in their throats. If this thing fell, it would break the defense!
Although there are a few people who are looking forward to the effect of this kind of program, most viewers still hope that Liu Liang can succeed once and for all.
However, at this moment, a small figure appeared.
That black cat!
I don’t know where it was hiding before, but now it actually appeared on the lifting arm, right on Liu Liang’s only path!
"Damn! A dog's planner is not a human being! Can you learn something good from a foreigner?"
Liu Liang braked suddenly and managed to avoid falling directly.
As soon as he stopped, he heard the roar of the zombie behind him. Although Liu Liang did not look back, he could rely on his rich experience of being bitten to judge that the zombie must be opening its arms and swooping towards him.
.
"There's nothing we can do!"
Liu Liang felt that the cat in front of him would probably trick him, but the zombies were in hot pursuit, so he could only run towards the end of the tower crane's boom again.
At this time, the clouds in the sky dispersed slightly, and a few rays of sunlight came in. Liu Liang saw the whole cat, and its fur was indeed completely black.
In this scene, the invisibility effect is almost natural.
The zombies behind him seemed to have strengthened their vitality again under the blessing of the sun, and they chased after them for a few steps.
Just then, the black cat jumped up!
When a cat jumps, it's like plucking onions on dry land, or like taking off from the same spot.
Seeing the black cat flying towards him, Liu Liangliang was chilled and thought to himself, it's over!
According to the nature of urine in "Overcoming Difficulties with Cats", the cat will definitely pounce on himself, knock him down, and then use himself as a springboard to jump to a safe position and taunt himself...
However, the scene he imagined did not happen.
The cat jumped over Liu Liang's head, and then kicked the zombie that was about to catch Liu Liang!
