197: Chapter 181 City 197: Chapter 181 City “Such situations had occurred before.
Ordinary people got involved in the killing field, ‘frozen’ for a period of ti, their mories stuck at the mont just before they disappeared.”
Zhao Zijing asked Catherine and the others, “Have you ever heard voices in your mind, talking about tasks, rewards, punishnts, and the like?”
The three ordinary people looked at each other hesitantly and then nodded.
“Good.”
Zhao Zijing handed out three pieces of paper and pens, “Write down everything you heard.
These words appeared directly in your minds, so you shouldn’t forget them in a short ti.”
After the three finished writing, they handed the papers back.
The information was essentially identical to the one Li Cheng and his party received; the task na was also Electric Energy Retrospection, but there was an additional reward—completion of the task would grant player qualifications.
The other reward items were also significantly reduced, fitting for new players.
Click, clack—
At that mont, the sound of chanical operations ca from behind them in the tunnel.
A chanical safety guard that was the size of a car and had eight legs shaped like a crab ca towards them slowly.
The Red Driver subconsciously took out two Spirit Balls and held them in his palms, while the Midnight Howl from Monster Alliance tensed his arm muscles.
Fortunately, the security guard showed no intention to attack.
Instead, it slowly knelt down, its carapace on the back automatically opened, and a battery rose from its body.
The battery was cylindrical, the size of a bucket, made of crystal and tal, emitting a pale yellow light from within, its design exuding a strong sci-fi vibe.
[Item Na: Energy-gathering Battery]
[Type: Tool]
[Quality: Perfect]
[Special Effect: Power supply.
Extracts vacuum zero-point energy to power certain killing field facilities.
Cannot be stored in space items, cannot be removed from the killing field]
“Hmm?”
Li Cheng raised an eyebrow, “Why didn’t the killing field system add any notes to this thing?”
“Maybe this energy-gathering battery is just too important.”
The Red Driver said casually, then watched as Li Cheng took out paper and pen, and stuck a note on top of the battery.
[Note: “One is better than six!” In an interview with reporters, the top student in the college entrance exam revealed his study secret of eating one Nanfu battery before each class]
???
Both Zhao Zijing and the Red Driver nearly lost their composure, simultaneously criticizing in their minds, this guy couldn’t have attended so kind of advanced class, right?
This bizarre note style truly has so essence of the killing field system.
Especially Zhao Zijing, who began to suspect that this Ant might be a freelance mber of the Wild Laughter Troupe.
On the top edge of the cylindrical battery, hanging in a circle, were eight small devices resembling radar panels, also belonging to the killing field.
[Item Na: Guiding Radar]
[Type: Tool]
[Quality: Ordinary]
[Special Effect: Guide the way.
Once the button is pressed, virtual lines are generated pointing towards the destination.
Cannot be stored in space items, cannot be removed from the killing field]
Eight radars, corresponding to four players and four ordinary people.
Without waiting for them to figure it out, the crab-shaped security guard that had completed the delivery task unloaded the battery and radar devices and then transford from inside out, switching to a submarine configuration, lying still in the tunnel.
Boom!
A deafening sound of rushing water ca from behind the tunnel, the humidity in the air suddenly increased, and the entire tunnel trembled and shook.
“This is a flood discharge channel!”
Zhao Zijing’s face changed drastically, and she turned to look at the alloy door fifty ters away.
The round tal door was extrely thick, and there were no valves or control panels around it, only a slit in the middle.
“Get out of the way!”
Midnight Howl seed even more tense than Zhao Zijing, stomping on the ground and rushing forward, his left leg muscles dramatically expanding and sprouting grey fur during the run, kicking hard at the center of the tal door.
Clang—
The alloy door opened slightly, and the high-pressure damp air in the tunnel imdiately gushed out through the slit.
Midnight Howl’s forehead veins bulged, his arm muscles swelled, and his palms grabbed the door slit and pushed forward with all his might, forcibly opening the nearly half-ter thick door.
“Retreat!”
No need for Midnight Howl to remind, Red Driver and three ordinary people had already started running.
Li Cheng casually picked up the energy-gathering battery, and Zhao Zijing used telekinesis with a wave of her hand to gently lift the last unconscious burn victim, bringing them along.
The ten-thousand-ton flood roared from behind.
Everyone rushed to the end of the tunnel, only to find it was a cliff over three hundred ters above the ground.
Below was a desolate, silent concrete city.
The three ordinary people scread in terror, but Zhao Zijing didn’t indulge them.
With a wave of her hand, she pushed them all down with telekinesis.
She followed closely behind, forming an invisible slide with telekinesis, gracefully landing on the rooftop of a building below.
The players jumped off the cliff using various thods.
Li Cheng released the temporary skill “Feathered Gliding” to slow his descent, gliding forward slowly.
Red Driver released a Pidgey Pocket Monster, grabbing its claws and being carried away in flight.
Midnight Howl was more straightforward; he took out a parachute pack from his Backpack and wore it.
Everyone regrouped on the rooftop of the building, turning their heads to see a cliff that was even more magnificent than a real-world super dam.
Eight discharge tunnels, twenty arc-shaped gates, all simultaneously releasing floodwater.
The water flowed over the silent city, quickly knocking down street lamps and subrging low houses.
So tall buildings also collapsed.
“Wow, such a spectacle.”
Li Cheng comnted, “Back then, my friend’s grandfather and his wife, along with his aunt, watched the torrential floods co over just like this.”
Red Driver’s eyelids twitched, unable to resist retorting, “Your friend’s grandfather, is he Xu Xian?”
“What are you talking about?” Li Cheng replied, puzzled, “That was in 1938 in Zhengzhou.”
“Well, good fellow, you an when Chiang Kai-shek blew up the Garden Mouth, right?” Red Driver’s eyes twitched repeatedly, wanting to say more but stopping.
Describing Chiang Kai-shek, one could only say, “The good outweighs the bad, the bad doesn’t cover up the good, a mix of good and bad, sums of good and bad.”
Zhao Zijing managed to keep a straight face, cleared her throat and said, “Let’s use the radar to detect the direction of our destination first.”
“Alright.”
Li Cheng detached the radar device from the top of the battery, pressed a button, and the device’s top burst into a bluish light.
Wisps of blue light combined in the air, forming a semi-transparent arrow pointing in the opposite direction of the dam.
This mission, killing field, was given a ti limit of 48 hours; the destination wouldn’t be near, relying on legs would be exhausting.
Zhao Zijing took out a Dragon Ball Capsule from the Backpack, throwing it into the air.
The capsule opened by itself, a thirty-ter-long exploration yacht appeared out of thin air, landing on the water surface.
“Wow, does GOC have such good benefits?”
Midnight Howl’s eyes lit up; an exploration yacht is different from ordinary yachts.
The forr has more redundant designs, aims for high durability, high navigability, high autonomy, and can adapt to harsher sea conditions, thus it’s also more expensive than yachts of the sa size.
“It’s just lent to temporarily by the organization.”
Zhao Zijing casually ntioned, calling everyone to board.
