Chapter 37:
The hot weather was not relieved by the reduction in human activity. The asphalt road was baked with a fishy smell, and occasionally zombies dragged along it.
In the too quiet street, a hoarse cry for help suddenly came, "Help... help..."
Called for a while, but when no one answered, the voice became even more desperate, "Help me, who can help me..."
The source of the sound was traced back to the underside of a crooked old car. From a distance, a man's head is exposed beside the car tires, trying to stretch out.
Suddenly, the sound of rustling footsteps spread along the ground, and the man turned back in surprise, but his face turned pale for a while.
His voice did not attract rescue, but attracted zombies.
A zombie with its head tilted and half of its face torn apart is walking towards his location step by step!
The imagined pain did not come, and the man vaguely heard the conversation between the two.
"Are people still alive?"
"Raise the car first."
Then there is a force on the mouth and the sound of the car being lifted. He ignited the last bit of hope, opened his eyes, and struggled to turn his head to look, but his mouth was wide open, "...is it you?"
The two also saw his face, "Is it you? Where is Tang Xiao?"
…
Chen Guang was also stunned.
The three of them were collecting supplies in the former department store. He and Fat Zhou left first. As soon as they came out, they heard a cry for help. Thought it was actually a radish head.
Didn't he go with Tang Xiao before? Now that he is here, where is Tang Xiao?
At this moment, the radish head no longer had the golden armor at that time, and the whole lower body was almost crushed by the car. At the same time, he also had wounds of different depths, the heaviest One went straight through the chest, terrifying.
Wang Cheng didn't expect to see the person who was with Tang Xiao again, he was embarrassed and frightened, every word he patted his chest and said now makes his scalp tingle.
He not only said in front of this group of people that he was going to kill Tang Xiao, but also invited Tang Xiao to join his team and kill Tang Xiao with him!
He's such a jerk!!!
Looking at the choking radish head, Chen Guang couldn't help it, he wanted to try to help him up, but when he touched him a little, the radish head screamed.
"Pain Pain!"
Pang Zhou looked at him anxiously: "You haven't said it yet, Xiao, where is Sister Xiao?"
"It hurts to death!!"
Just now he was numb from being crushed by the car. At this moment, his body regained his freedom, and the pain perception also poured into the bone marrow a hundred times a thousand times. The radish head could not wait to kill it here with his head, but he never gave up. He was sweating profusely and said to Chen Guang, "Are there any pain relievers and hemostatic agents?"
Chen Guang: "What is that?"
Radish Head didn't believe it: "If you don't want to save people, just say it, even if you don't have it, how could Tang Xiao not have it? Her level of play... These consumables must be related to the car!"
Chen Guang was no longer happy, and his face sank: "If you say no, there will be no, and you don't say where Tang Xiao is, and you are still so angry. I knew I wouldn't save you."
Radish head quickly begged for mercy: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please help me! Help me!"
Pang Zhou stood aside, looking at the injury on the radish head, his whole face wrinkled together, "I'm afraid you can't save this injury."
Don't say they can't be saved, it's a miracle that they can survive until now. If it were an ordinary person, he would have died long ago.
He said it bluntly, but the radish head sounded like five thunders in his ears, "No, I can't die! Help me, help me!"
Chen Guang remembered what Tang Xiao said, and said, "I remember that even if you die, you can still be resurrected."
Since it can be resurrected, why so fear?
Radish head shook his head desperately: "You know the shit! I finally got enough points to enter the dungeon, and now if I die, the points will be deducted! I, I have equipment now. It’s not durable anymore, if you can’t get supplies, even if you can be resurrected, it’s still a death! I, I don’t want to…”
He had already lost a lot of blood, and he was hanging with one breath.
Chen Guang was anxious, "Don't get dizzy, where is Tang Xiao, is she in danger, is she still alive!"
Radish head closed his eyes and didn't respond. He stretched out his hand to try, but he was already out of breath.
I met by a very coincidence, and inexplicably died without saying anything. Chen Guang was so angry that he didn't wear his hat, showing his bald head, "Fat Zhou, you think Tang Xiao is okay?"
Tang Xiao has been gone for almost a week, and there is no news at all. Seeing Radish Head alive today makes them even more worried.
Pang Zhou said seriously, "I think Sister Xiao is very powerful, and it should be fine."
If the radish head armor is broken, I will be afraid of it like this. Sister Xiao had nothing and lived for two months without caring, which shows that Sister Xiao is much more powerful than him.
With this sentence, Chen Guang felt a little relieved, "I think so too."
"What's wrong?" Fat Zhou asked with concern.
Chen Lingling shook her head and held her heart lightly, "I dreamed of Xiaohua last night, and I have always had a bad premonition after waking up."
Mother's hunch is always accurate. On the day Tang Xiao left, Chen Lingling dreamed that Xiaohua was gone, and when she woke up, Xiaohua really disappeared.
They have been looking every day for the past few days, but they still have no news. But Chen Lingling always held on to a glimmer of hope, saying that Xiaohua was still alive, and today's sudden change in state made several people's hearts sink.
In the silence, Chen Guang was the first to speak, "We haven't gone to the back street yet, it's the last street in the northeast of Zhaixing City, let's go there first."
Tang Xiao was walking on a street on the southernmost side of the city.
She just came out of the dungeon and has not found a suitable means of transportation, so she can only walk temporarily.
Xiaohua has been in a deep sleep state and cannot be awakened by any method. The system and customer service are also ignorant and can't help at all.
Fortunately, although Xiaohua could not wake up, her physical condition was still stable. Tang Xiao decided to find Chen Guang and the others first, and let Xiaohua and Chen Lingling reunite with her mother and daughter, and then discuss the rest.
Because walking with people on her back all the time hinders movement, Tang Xiao tried putting Xiaohua in the backpack used to store plot items, but he did not expect it to succeed.
She: "…"
Is this what makes the characters special?
So now, she walks alone on the street, following the map directions, heading in the direction agreed with Chen Guang. While harvesting the heads of zombies along the road, I also checked the rewards I got after coming out of the dungeon.
First of all, the armor and weapon durability are full. Since her armor is long gone, this repair is also a tasteless. However, the durability of the pulse gun and the machete has all been restored, which is still useful.
Then a new set of permissions. To be honest, if it wasn't for the system supplying her all at once this time, she wouldn't even know that she had so many permissions that she didn't activate!
The power of the leaderboard is not a problem. What about the player's investigation authority?
System: [Players can specify a player in the top ten of the standings, and the system will issue a reminder when she appears at a relatively close distance. At the same time, when the first place in the standings appears on a map for the first time, the system will notify all players in the map. 】
Tang Xiao: "…"
Tang Xiao: "If I remember correctly, first in the standings, is it me?"
So when she entered Star City, all the players in Star City were notified except her?
System: […]
“…The system, why did you give it to me, don’t pretend to be dead!!”
On the empty street, only Tang Xiao's roar was left.
After scolding the system thief and the development team, Tang Xiao opened the last permission, the secret chat communication function.
As the name suggests, it's also very useful. In this era when communication is almost cut off, it is equivalent to Ma Huateng who does not need to be connected to the Internet, which can be said to be quite convenient. However, its limitations are also obvious, that is, it can only be applied between players and players, not only requires both parties to be on the same map, but also has a limited address book location.
—Just like now, in the communication list displayed in front of Tang Xiao, there is only one place to add.
“Customer service, how do I add a contact?”
Customer Service: [Find another player with secret chat communication permission, send an invitation face-to-face and accept it, you can add it successfully]
Tang Xiao thought for a while, "How many players have the right to secret chat now?"
Customer Service: [A total of twelve players have activated this permission]
Tang Xiao: "…"
"Forget it," she sighed, "then how can I increase the address book location?"
】
Five thousand points is not a small amount, even the advanced difficulty of the experimental building copy, the customs clearance reward is only five hundred points. If you change to an ordinary player, you would have given up opening at this moment and warned of bad reviews.
But if Tang Xiao lacks everything now, there is no shortage of points.
"Open!"
【Di, the activation is successful, your current address book is valid for 2 places. Spend 25,000 points to open the next slot. 】
"Continue."
By spending points without hesitation, Tang Xiao finally felt a little bit like spending money, but she soon returned to reality: "What? The third position requires 100,000 points? money?"
"No!"
She has said goodbye to the luxurious life she once lived, and the money has to be spent on the edge, even if there are more than 900,000 points left, she can't spend it indiscriminately!
After weighing the pros and cons, Tang Xiao decisively turned off the communication box. What's more, among the players she knew, no more than three were still alive, and it was useless to ask for so many communication positions.
It was the hottest noon of the day, and the sun was pouring down warmly, almost roasting the surface of the ground. Tang Xiao didn't feel anything. Her body is no longer uncomfortable with this level of weather change, and she hasn't sweated for so long.
But as she walked, she paused and her body stopped for a moment.
She is not sweating, but some people seem to be too hot.
In just a second, her keen hearing caught a rapid gasp, like an unbearable breath when it was hot and thirsty.
Zombies don't breathe.
There is someone nearby.
It seemed that Tang Xiao’s pause was also noticed, and the sound also stopped, and the air became silent.
Not only is there a man, but this man has a ghost in his heart.
Tang Xiao did not hesitate, drew his gun and fired in a certain direction, at the same time, a bullet shot through the air from that direction!
He looked in several directions in succession, but there was no trace of him, and he couldn't help but exclaimed "Huh" in surprise, "Where's the person?"
"This is."
The woman's voice suddenly came from behind, and he was so frightened that he almost threw the gun out, he turned around and aimed, but the barrel was held down.
With a "click", the barrel of the gun broke, and he only felt that his hands were numb and painful as if they had been stabbed by something, and the gun also dropped.
Without the weapon, the full face of the woman in front of her clearly fell into her eyes. Tang Xiao threw away the used gun and looked at the young man who attacked him, "How old are you? What's wrong with learning to attack?"
The person who tried to ambush her seemed to be less than eighteen years old, with tin foil permed short hair dyed gray, white and tender skin, and immature panic on his face, but seeing her After the face, that panic has been replaced by despair.
The young man twisted his head and cried: "Wow, I'm sorry, I don't know if it's you... Can you be gentle when you kill me..."
Tang Xiao: "…"
Tang Xiao: "What's wrong with me?"
The young man sobbed and closed his eyes tightly. He didn't even hear what Tang Xiao said. His head is full of chagrin and fear now, and he can't wait to go back to killing himself ten minutes ago.
Is he crazy? How dare you attack Tang Xiao? Isn't this courting death!
He felt like he was dead from the moment he pressed the trigger, no, from the moment he was lying in ambush here!
Tang Xiao was a little helpless, "Do I know you?"
"Wow, you don't know me, but..." The young man dared not reach out and wipe his tears, "I saw you at the base..."
He will never forget that day, a few members of the alliance brought back a girl who refused to reveal her title and dressed very poor. After 30 seconds, the girl blew up the president and killed All members of the containment, and entered the copy in full view.
That scene left an indelible impression on him. So even in the next week, there were players in the standings and the League would fight each other, and until the League was torn apart, the psychological shadow that those 30 seconds brought him was not as big.
Tang Xiao understood, "Is your base still ambushing players in the standings? Send you out this time?"
"No no no," the young man shook his head violently, "Our alliance is about to disperse, and I am also forced to..."
After a brief exchange with this young man named Zhao Lang, Tang Xiao understood the specific situation.
Although only one day has passed in the dungeon, a week has passed in reality. The Civilian League was first without a leader because the leader was killed by her. Since the nearest resurrection point is not too far from the city of Zhaixing, there was another dispute within the League due to the distribution of power. At this time, the standings The second came.
According to Zhao Lang's recollection, it was a man who was like a god, not only powerful, but also persuaded a large number of members of the alliance to go with him and join his organization in a few words, and the strength of the alliance immediately cut in half.
Tang Xiao opened the standings and glanced at the rankings above: "...Is that man's name Gu Xingchen, and his organization called Tianhui?"
Zhao Lang: "That's right!"
Sure enough, powerful people know each other!
Tang Xiao: "Then why didn't he enter the copy directly?"
Zhao Lang: "At that time, there were people from the alliance who volunteered to give him more points, but he rejected him. He said he had a bad premonition, and it is not appropriate to enter the dungeon now."
Tang Xiao: "…"
At that time, the dungeon was invaded by the dungeon, and this man's hunch was **** accurate.
Having said so much, seeing that Tang Xiao did not intend to kill, Zhao Lang became more courageous and said tentatively: "I really didn't come out to kill. To tell you the truth, I was the weakest member of the alliance, so after the alliance fell apart, I had nowhere to go, and someone was willing to take me in, so I left with them. I didn't expect that the two of them were specifically ambush to kill other players. , and forced me to do the same..."
He took out the communicator on his waist, "They contacted me through this, eh, why isn't the light on?"
Tang Xiao glanced at it: "I broke it. Sorry, I'm used to it."
When she first came to Zhao Lang, she saw this communicator at a glance, so she directly destroyed it with electricity to prevent the young man from asking for help.
Zhao Lang: "…"
He obediently threw away the communicator, "It's alright, I don't want to go back to find them anyway, I will definitely make a change and be a new person in the future!"
After he finished speaking, he asked carefully, "Yes, can you spare me once?"
Although Tang Xiao didn't look fierce at the moment, he still didn't have much hope. After all, the player can be resurrected after death, not killing in the true sense. Killing can get a full one-third of the points, and anyone will be excited.
Unexpectedly, Tang Xiao thought about it and said, "You can let me go, but you have to do something for me."
Youth: "!!"
Tang Xiao's request is very simple, that is, to collect supplies and find suitable transportation. The young man hurriedly agreed, and gave Tang Xiao everything he had. He originally only wanted not to die, but he didn't expect to be able to walk with the boss. Standing next to Tang Xiao at this moment, he only felt a sense of security.
"By the way, Sister Xiao," the young man suddenly remembered something, he patted his head, "I remember that there seems to be a motorcycle in the room inside, I'll go take a look."
The place where they are now is an old supermarket, which is divided into two rooms, inside and outside.
The young man pushed open the door energetically, but instantly stiffened in place.
"What's the matter?" Tang Xiao was beside him, he reached out to touch the young man's shoulder, and his body froze.
[Ding, the dungeon "Boss Ma's Chess and Card Room" was successfully activated! 】
[Player 1, Player 2 are already in place, Player 3, Player 4 are waiting... After ten minutes, if the number of people is not equal, the dungeon will be cancelled automatically. 】
Tang Xiao is used to the dungeons everywhere in the game world, and has a wealth of experience. She breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, this is a multi-person dungeon. If the number of people is not enough, we can go out in a while."
Zhao Lang nodded in relief, he moved his body nervously, but did not know where he touched, and a harsh alarm sounded in his pocket.
Zhao Lang: "My anti-wolf alarm!"
This is given to him by those two people. When the communicator fails, this is used to transmit messages. How could he forget this!
Before there was a time to respond, with two booms, the ceiling was smashed, and two figures fell from the sky:
"Zhao Lang is very efficient!"
"Finally a fat fish!"
[Ding, player 3 and player 4 are in place, the dungeon is open! 】
Tang Xiao: "…"
