Chapter 494: Bunker Terror (8)
Chapter 494: Bunker Terror (8)
Some time ago, Han Zu left the passage of the cell area.
The team that mistook Han Zu for an NPC corpse and obtained the key to cell 11 had already arrived near the entrance to the cell area and entered the ambush range of the Quack Society. However, out of caution, the Quack Society did not launch an attack immediately, but put them in the cell area. About a minute later, Wu Ritu used the detection skill again to the location of the side passage. After finding no other people near the cell area, the five of them left their hiding place, lowered their steps, and entered the cell area.
Yuan Si and Pei Lan followed from the main entrance, hiding in the shadows behind the entrance gate. Wu Ritu and Yuan Feng continued to go deeper and quietly entered the guard lounge. Wu Ritu took out two fully automatic pistols, leaned his right shoulder against the wall, and hid behind the door. Yuan Feng set up a confusion trap outside the guard lounge. As long as someone triggered the trap, all the other party's actions would become opposite in a short period of time. After setting up the trap, Yuan Feng quickly left the cell area and hid in the same place as Yuan Si and Pei Lan.
As for Zhao Mingkai, he walked away. He walked to the deepest part of the passage in front of the entrance of the cell area and began to release skills continuously, summoning his summons. After a while, the whole passage was filled with densely packed zombies. The speed of these zombies was basically the same as walking, but they were particularly resistant to beatings, and they had many tumors on their bodies that would explode at a glance. Zhao Mingkai controlled these zombies he summoned and blocked the surrounding corridors. After doing this, he used the team channel to notify Yuan Feng, who once again released a shadow cloak, turning all the zombies into invisible.
The team inside the cell block also found cell 11 at this time and opened the door of cell 11 with the key they found. The German officer inside was already dead at this time. He did not survive the mutation stage. His posture was different from when Han Zu saw him before. He was kneeling against the wall. It seemed that he had regained consciousness for a while since then. There were some scratches on the wall. It seemed that he wanted to write something, but failed and died.
The team of players who found the key to cell No. 11 carefully searched the officer's body and found a blood-stained envelope in his trouser pocket. Inside the envelope was a piece of paper, which should be a blank cover page torn from some high-level book. There was a diary entry written on it. The upper half was stained with blood, and the signature and date could not be seen clearly, but the content of the lower half was clear. It said that somewhere in the deepest part of the bunker needed to be expanded, but there was solid rock blocking the way, which needed to be blown up with explosives. No one knew where the explosives went, but the detonator was in a storage room near the officers' dormitory area.
After everyone finished reading the note, their mission moved on to the next stage. This was an important choice with branching options. They could choose to find the explosives, follow the steps on the note, find the location that needed to be blasted, and enter the deepest part of the bunker. They could also choose to take the explosives, go to the entrance of the bunker, blow up the collapsed location, and leave the bunker directly.
If they choose to leave the bunker, the team must confirm that they are the only team left in their camp before they can leave smoothly. If they choose to continue going deeper into the bunker, they don't need to worry about whether there are other players in the same camp for the time being. However, the progress of the mission will also be synchronized to other players.
But no matter what they choose, the team must first find the three parts of the explosives: the explosive body, the detonator, and the push-type detonator. Only when all three parts are found can the explosives be used normally.
However, this team is not the only one in the cell block, so they will not have the opportunity to continue the mission.
"Om~~~"
Just as they left cell No. 11 and returned to the cell corridor, a figure suddenly passed through their midst at an extremely fast speed. All they heard was the buzzing sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air. One of them immediately found that he had become seriously injured. After seeing the change in his condition, the others realized that they had been ambushed, so they immediately prepared to fight back, but they were still a little slow.
The figure was Pei Lan, who took the initiative. A few seconds ago, when half of them turned their backs to the entrance of the cell area, Pei Lan moved. She first took a few steps and then jumped into the air. Yuan Si next to her pushed Pei Lan's feet hard. With the help of Yuan Si's strength and her own speed, Pei Lan accelerated to a level that was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye, and one blow seriously injured one of the players.
After the attack hit, Pei Lan continued to rush forward. Before reaching the wall, he jumped up again, stepped on the wall, and used the force to pass through the players again. While passing through them, Pei Lan twisted his body and spun himself in the air. A large number of flying knives instantly tilted towards the opponent. Although the players were not injured except for their own movements being disturbed, the seriously injured player was not so lucky. He was hit by the flying knives and entered a state of near death. Pei Lan successfully returned to a safe position.
"Hit her and run away. She's an assassin! Don't let her get away!!"
Because they were tricked, these players made a wrong judgment. They sent one person to stay behind to help the seriously injured and dying teammate, while the others chased after her. They thought that Pei Lan might be a lone player, and since she ran away after hitting the opponent and did not confirm the kill, she must be an inexperienced player with high attack and low defense.
"Tsk tsk tsk!!!"
As soon as the few people who chased out came to the entrance of the cell area, they guessed the chaotic trap at the door of the guard lounge. Their movements immediately changed to completely opposite directions. Just as they tried to adapt and were ready to continue chasing, the wooden door of the guard lounge was suddenly kicked open. Wu Ritu raised the two fully automatic pistols and rushed out like an emperor. Without aiming, he fired at almost the same position, instantly reducing the health of these players. Similarly, Wu Ritu also ran away after hitting, not giving the opponent a chance to fight back.
This kind of painless attack, almost a close-up taunt, made the players chasing them make a wrong judgment. They thought that their strength was very average and that even a sneak attack would not do much damage. So the players got angry and continued to chase them.
The result was naturally obvious. These players who chased out ran headfirst into the group of zombies summoned by Zhao Mingkai. The attack power of these zombies was extremely low, which was no different from tickling, but they were very tough. No matter how hard these players tried, they could not escape from the group of zombies. After they took great efforts to kill one or two zombies, they found that more zombies had surrounded them in the middle, and the encirclement was gradually shrinking, step by step reducing the space they could move. Within a few minutes, they even had difficulty turning around.
This is not the end yet. The tumors on the zombies' bodies are also constantly bursting. Although these tumors do not cause any damage when they explode, once they are touched, they will cause poisoning and bleeding debuffs. These unlucky guys are in an embarrassing situation like being beheaded by a blunt knife.
However, this state did not last long. From the gaps between the zombies, they saw two skeleton archers appearing not far away. They were very familiar with this type of skeleton archers. Their health was very fragile, with only 5 drops of blood, and they had no armor at all. Their attack speed was also ridiculously slow, and their aiming was even slower. But fortunately, the attack power of these things was incredible. Although basically no one had ever been hit by this type of skeleton archers, they were now blocked by the zombie swarm and could not move at all, making them no different from living targets.
The skeleton archers were not far away from the players whose movements were restricted, so although their aiming and locking speed was very slow, there was no need for aiming at this distance. After a few sounds of bowstrings bouncing, these players who were getting angry were naturally executed by the skeleton archers and turned into white light and teleported out of the copy.
As for the two people who stayed in the cell area, their fate was not much better. Not long after they were left behind, Yuan Si came over with a golden stick and a malicious smile, and sent them out of the dungeon with a few sticks. By the way, he "inherited" the note they found from them.
After the battle, the five members of the Quack Society gathered together again and began to discuss the next strategy based on the contents of the note.
"So, should we go deeper into the bunker or blow up the entrance and leave?" Yuan Feng spoke first.
"The area deep in the bunker should be a newly added area in this copy. The situation inside is completely unknown and must be full of dangers. However, if we want to understand the overall situation of the new copy, I think we still have to go. Although it seems safe to blow up the entrance and leave directly, according to the tone of the Infinite City, I feel that this is most likely a trap." Wu Zhitu analyzed.
"But no matter what we choose to do in the end, we have to find the detonators and explosives first, as well as the detonators, and install the explosives before making a decision."
"Yes, the note said that the detonator is located in a storage room near the officers' quarters. We have passed by that area before. The storage room mentioned should be the room with the blocked wooden doors. The wooden boards seemed to be indestructible before, but I think they should be able to be destroyed now."
"As for the explosives, we can try our luck in the armory. We didn't go near the armory when we came here."
"But we need to be careful. After all, the armory is where you get supplies, and there might be other players there."
Their guess was correct. The storage room where the detonators were located was one of the rooms with blocked wooden doors. Although the location was relatively hidden, they still found the necessary detonators in the small secret compartment under some supply boxes.
When they arrived near the armory, they happened to see several teams of players fighting, seemingly trying to snatch something. Because the location of the battle was very noisy, no one noticed the members of the Quack Society, and they took advantage of this to find a good position to shoot from behind and act as troublemakers. When the battle was about to end and most of the remaining victors were consumed, they showed up and killed the remaining people. When they counted the battlefield again, they found that what they were fighting for was exactly the explosives needed for the mission.
"I suddenly have a question."
While being alert to the situation nearby, Zhao Mingkai suddenly raised a question.
"what is the problem?"
"You said these explosives, detonators and so on, are there only one set, or are there many sets?"
"this...?"
When he asked this, everyone started to think about it. Zhao Mingkai's question was correct. Although these things should only have one quest item according to their importance, generally speaking, such unique quest items would have a small quest icon on the information in the inventory. However, when they observed, they found that the explosives and detonators were only displayed as "rare" consumables. There was no small icon mark. They did not seem to be unique.
"If there is no icon, then it should not be unique, and it is still considered a consumable item."
"How rare is this 'rare'? Are there only a few of them, or is it..."
"boom!!!!!"
Just as they were discussing, a huge explosion was heard from the direction of one of the entrances of the bunker. The inside of the bunker began to shake, and dirt and dust were shaken down from the top.
"Has anyone found all the explosives?!"
"From the direction of the sound, it's probably the entrance where we entered the dungeon. What should we do now? Should we go over and take a look, or continue looking?"
Wuzhitu frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Don't rush over. According to past experience, this simple way of passing the level is often a trap. There may be something dangerous waiting there. Moreover, according to the rules of the dungeon, even if there is no danger, if the team is not the last team in their camp, they can't get out. Even if they are not, they are definitely not in the same camp as us. Whether they leave or not has nothing to do with us, so I think we should continue to look for the detonator we didn't find."
"What Wuzhitu said is correct, but now there is a most important question."
"Where could this damn detonator be? We just searched the armory, and we also searched the officers' quarters when we were looking for detonators. It's definitely not in these two locations, but we don't have any other clues. It's not easy to find the detonator."
Just when everyone was worried, Yuan Si got an inspiration and suddenly slapped his head, "I saw the dead German officer in cell No. 11 in the cell block before. There were some scratches on the wall next to him, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Now that I think about it, it might be left by the officer before he died. Maybe the clue to the detonator is in the scratches on the wall?"
Yuan Si's statement undoubtedly gave everyone a goal.
"Although I'm not too sure, I finally have a direction. Let's go! Let's go back and take a look!"
After confirming the target, everyone set off immediately, preparing to return to the cell block to confirm, perhaps they could really find some clues.
At the same time, the bunker on top of the tower area.
"Thirty...how much is it?"
Han Zu, who had forgotten his kill count, glanced at the system panel of the Infinite City.
"Oh, thirty-four."
Han Zu had no idea what was going on inside the bunker. To be honest, he didn't care much. He still continued with his original plan and sniped the enemy across the battlefield.
