Chapter 5 Area 13
The world is spinning, and the scene changes, as if a time and space shuttle has been carried out. After coming back to their senses, Wei Liang and the others had already come to another unknown place.
Ding Ding panicked, grabbed Wei Liang's arm, and said uneasily: "Where is this?" ”
Wei Liang motioned for her not to make a sound, turned her gaze, glanced around cursoryly, and said in a low voice, "Inside a bus." ”
Yes, it is indeed a bus, but it is different from the bus in our impression, it is not noisy, it is not crowded, it is quiet like a corpse.
It was a bus that had been abandoned for an unknown amount of time, and many places were rotten and dilapidated, and the seats were covered in thick dust.
Suddenly, Wei Liang squatted down, like a child observing ants, staring intently at the ground.
Tintin's nerves were already tense, and he was startled by his strange behavior, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
Wei Liang didn't answer, but stretched his neck lower, eager to stick to the ground.
Tintin became more and more apprehensive and said anxiously: "What are you looking at?" ”
"Bloodstains." Wei Liang stood up and said, "Because of the long time, it is no longer visible, but if you look closely, you can still catch traces." ”
He opened his eyes again, like an archaeologist, carefully observing every corner of the dilapidated and decaying bus, and said, "A lot of blood." There was a scuffle, or a massacre. ”
Ding Ding's face turned pale and said, "Don't scare me." ”
Wei Liang sighed by the window, wiped the dust on the glass with his sleeve, and began to observe the outside world.
Tintin asked, "Is there anything out there?" ”
"No, it's calm." Wei Liang said: "Let's go, let's go out and have a look." ”
Ding Ding became nervous and asked, "Will there be danger?" ”
Wei Liang asked rhetorically: "Is it safe to huddle in the car?" ”
After a brief hesitation, Ding Ding still kept up with Wei Liang's pace. In this strange world, being alone is a disaster for her.
Dusk night, no stars, no moon. Empty city, uninhabited, lifeless. This steel jungle is barren, decadent, and dead, with an unsettling atmosphere.
Tintin was even more scared, she couldn't figure out what the hell this place was.
Wei Liang smiled.
"What are you laughing at?"
"This is it."
"Do you know what this place is?"
"Have you ever played CF?"
"Nope."
"This is a map from the CF biochemical model, and it's called Area 13."
Tintin was confused.
Wei Liang explained: "This is a research institute, and the surrounding area is infected by biochemical ghosts, only Area 13 remains, but the terrifying atmosphere permeates every corner, and soon it will no longer be safe here, and biochemical ghosts may come at any time." ”
Tintin turned pale and asked, "And then?" ”
Wei Liang shrugged his shoulders and said, "No more, that's all there is written in the background information of the game." ”
"What is a biochemical ghost?"
"Zombies."
"The kind from the movies?"
"Almost."
"Scratch me, or bite me, and I'll get infected?"
"Yes."
"You're not going to scare me, are you?"
"I'm serious."
"It's horrible!" Tintin rubbed her hair irritably, her hair had become a mess like a pile of weeds because she hadn't been taken care of for a long time. She looked vigilantly, left and right, and asked, "Where are the biochemical ghosts?" ”
"I don't know."
"So what should we do?"
"We still have too little information to see what happens." Wei Liang said: "I think that since it is a game, then Taling must first explain the rules of the game. ”
The two of them walked as they talked, and gradually came to a shipping container.
"Wait a minute." Tintin said suddenly.
"How?"
Ding Ding looked nervous, and said in a low voice: "Just now I looked through the gap and seemed to see something in the box. ”
Wei Liang became interested, and leaned over to take a look.
Tintin grabbed him and said, "I mean, we should stay away from here." ”
Wei Liang smiled: "Let's take a look in the past, maybe there will be an unexpected gain." ”
Ding Ding said: "What if there are biochemical ghosts in it?" ”
Wei Liang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe it's not as bad as you think." You're a pessimist in the middle and through, and I'm the opposite. ”
"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years."
"Don't be afraid, it's okay." Wei Liang broke free of her hand, came to the gap in the middle of the container, and looked inside with wide eyes.
A musty smell came to my face, and the light inside was dim, and there was a black rumbling, and I couldn't see anything. But Wei Liang heard it, it was a wheezing sound, although it was slight, but there were traces to follow.
Tintin stood behind him, far away, so that he could quickly escape if something unexpected happened. She asked, "What did you find?" ”
Wei Liang looked inside quietly, motionless, like a wax figure. After a long time, he turned around and said, "Nothing, it's because we're too nervous, how do you say an idiom......"
"Grass and trees are soldiers?"
"Actually, what I'm trying to say is the rumors. Forget it, let's go. ”
Wei Liang turned around, and just took a step, suddenly a roundabout kick hit the container hard, and the loud sound echoed, like a wooden mallet beating a drum, deafening.
"Ahh Ding Ding was shocked, frightened by Wei Liang's sudden move.
At the same time, there was a scream from inside the container, which was sharper and more frightened than Tintin's. A figure rushed out of it, panicked, staggered, and tripped and fell to the ground after barely two steps.
Tintin was frightened and exclaimed, "This is a biochemical ghost? ”
Wei Liang smiled: "How can there be such a cowardly biochemical ghost? It's clearly a human being. ”
"Humans? How did she end up here? ”
"Maybe it's the same way we came from."
Tintin raised an eyebrow and said, "She's also from the Crimson Tower, and she's a participant in this game of death?" ”
Wei Liang walked over and looked at the other party. This is a woman in her twenties, fat, dark-skinned, and her features twisted together because of fear, making her look even uglier. Wei Liang showed a kind smile, like a harmless boy next door, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, we have no malice." ”
The fat black woman was shocked and asked, "That loud bang just now...... Did something explode? ”
Wei Liang smiled: "That's just a joke, don't take it to heart." ”
The fat black woman came back to her senses and was furious: "You who have been stabbed a thousand times, you almost didn't scare me to death!" ”
Ding Ding couldn't stand it anymore, his little face sank, and said, "You sneakily hid in the container, and you scared us." ”
Seeing that a yellow-haired girl dared to count herself, the fat black woman's face was ugly, and she said in a strange voice: "Hey, little girl, I don't like to hear you say that, what is sneaky?" I'm alone in the corner, what's the matter with you? ”
Wei Liang persuaded: "Now is not the time to quarrel, what if you invite the biochemical ghost?" ”
When Ding Ding heard this, he hurriedly closed his mouth.
Although the fat black woman didn't know what a biochemical ghost was, she was also interested, and she snorted lightly and said no more.
Intuitively, Wei Liang felt that playing a game with only three people was too little, he looked at the fat black woman and asked, "Have you seen anyone else?" ”
The fat black woman said: "I did see one, it was a man, a little thin, I only saw a back." ”
"What about others?"
"Ran away."
Wei Liang nodded and said no more. When you first come to a strange place, you will feel insecure, and it is natural to hide.
The fat black woman asked, "What is this game of death?" ”
Wei Liang said: "Taling has not announced the rules of the game yet, so I can't talk nonsense." Don't panic just yet, wait. ”
Suddenly, a loud and indifferent voice echoed in everyone's minds again.
"Game Name: Biochemical Strikes."
"Rules of the game: After ten minutes, the biochemical ghosts will look for a host, and one of the ten of you will be selected to become the mother, the zombie camp, and the mission is to infect other humans. The remaining nine are in the human camp, and the task is to hold out for ten minutes without being infected. ”
"Game reward: Zombies will receive 500 Crimson Coins for each human infected. Humans who persist for ten minutes without being infected will receive 1,000 Crimson Coins. ”
"At the end of the game, 500 Crimson Coins will be deducted for each person, and those who are short of Scarlet Coins will be wiped out."
A piece of information came to the minds of the three of them, and Tintin and the fat black woman had no game foundation, which sounded a little incomprehensible at first glance. Because Wei Liang had played CF, he quickly digested this information and lowered his head to think about it.
First of all, the benefits of both sides are not the same, zombies only get 500 Crimson coins for infecting a human, and humans can get 1,000 Crimson coins if they survive for 10 minutes.
Harvest is often proportional to risk, and the more Crimson coins you get, the greater the risk.
In the original game, the human camp has a variety of powerful thermal weapons that can effectively defend against zombies, and even hunt zombies for fun. In the Crimson Tower, it was different, Wei Liang and the others were all bare-handed, with little ability to resist.
Thinking about this, Wei Liang understood that this was no longer an evenly matched confrontation, but a game of hide and seek. The human camp can only get a glimmer of life by evading and retreating, and anger is just self-defeating.
In ten minutes, the biochemical ghost will be looking for a host. Wei Liang understood that these ten minutes were the time that Taling gave humans to find a place to hide.
He looked left and right, pondering and meditating, he had to find a place that was hidden enough and safe enough to ensure that he was not discovered, where should he hide?
