Chapter 133: Living NPCs
White Mist quickly made up his mind:
"Check it out."
After the Eye of Prell glanced around, the things that were currently seen in the white fog on this floor, the remarks were normal, even if the painting style was minimalist, I could feel that the specifications of this Denglin Technology Branch Building were quite high.
Although this floor looks like a mess now, there should have been turmoil, but it was not so long ago.
The "NPC" is in a room, and interestingly...... The room was locked from the outside.
The people inside didn't know how long they were trapped, and when they shouted and found that there was no response, they began to bang their bodies against the door.
But as the white fog can see, the specifications here are quite high, and the door is quite solid.
When they came to the door, Bai Wu and Wujiu saw the note again.
[Door, forcibly breaking the door has a chance to cause monsters to be alert, and will consume a little weapon durability.] 】
Another multiple-choice question in disguise.
The durability of the weapon is only ten points, and according to this process, if you face a horde of monsters, it is obvious that the weapon is useless.
Because this is a game scene, and the time of simulation should be Denglin City seven hundred years ago, even if they don't save the people in the door, Bai Wu and Wujiu will not have any guilt.
"If you attract monsters, the durability of the weapon will be consumed more than a little." The white fog reminds five nine.
Wujiu looked at the door, didn't think about it for too long, picked up his knife and cut the chain, and kicked the door open again.
"Thank goodness! I just heard your voices, and I'm wondering if you're monsters! I didn't expect that there were other living people in the company besides me! ”
The person who spoke was dressed in a common workplace suit, wearing glasses, and his face looked quite like a high-level intellectual, with thick hair, not at all like he was engaged in scientific research, and the smile on his face revealed sincerity.
He was trapped in a printing room littered with unconstrained papers. The difference from the real scene is not only that the painting style here is too simple pixel style, but the biggest difference is that many things here are used as sets and cannot be interacted with.
Both White Mist and Wujiu saw a note about this person:
[HP 5/5, movement speed 1, defense 0.] 】
From here, Wujiu can deduce that this person should be an ordinary human being. And another piece of information that Bai Wu saw completely subverted the word "ordinary".
[An interviewer at the branch of Denglin Technology, who had only been working here for less than three months, escaped from the research subject at the headquarters of Denglin Technology, and he went on a killing spree to make everything worse. He doesn't know much, but it's better to take him with him than to wander around this dangerous city. 】
Judging from the different notes on the previous items, White Mist is convinced that the notes given by the game itself and the notes given by the Eye of Prell are completely different notes for two scenes.
The notes given by the game only apply to this game, and the Eye of Prell gives real notes.
If this is true...... So the person in front of him is really the interviewer of Denglin Technology Company?
A living person? Seven hundred years ago, the living people of the era in front of the tower?
He lived for seven hundred years? The note does not mention that this is a dead man, at least indicating that he is indeed in a normal state, but it cannot be that he has been trapped in it for 700 years.
The NPCs here may have some other way of surviving?
originally thought that NPC was starring in the friendship of regional evil, but Bai Wu didn't expect that it would be a real person.
This area...... What's going on?
"By the way, why haven't I seen you, what floor are you working on?"
The interviewer Wujiu and Bai Wu looked at themselves, a little stunned in their hearts.
"My friend and I are security guards for this company, I'm a level 1 security guard, and he's a level 5 security guard." White Mist responded seriously.
"What? Security guard...... Is the company's security still classified? ”
And this security guard is tall and thin, and he doesn't have the momentum of a security guard at all, so he definitely didn't interview by himself.
"Yes, if you kill ten robbers, you can successfully upgrade to a second-level protector, kill fifty robbers, you can be promoted to a third-level protector, save the company six times, you can be upgraded to a fourth-level protector, save the city, you can upgrade to a fifth-level protector."
The white fog is serious, and Wujiu is accustomed to it.
The interviewer was stunned and smiled awkwardly:
"You have a good sense of humor and you can tell jokes at times like this. Since you're a security guard, can you let me follow you...... I'm hungry, and it's dangerous, and I feel like I'm alone, I can't get out. ”
[Side quest, Mo Cheng's request for help. The reward for completing the mission is unknown, and the condition for failing the mission: Mo Cheng dies. Note, if you take the quest and Mo Cheng dies, the main quest will also fail. 】
It's another hint that can be seen in both Wujiu and White Mist.
Although Wujiu has never played an RPG game, he feels that this quest is a bit unreasonable, why does the NPC of a side quest die, and the main quest will fail?
And this NPC called Mo Cheng has no attack power and no defense power...... It looks like it's going to die easily.
He looked at Bai Mist, and Bai Mist asked a strange question at this time:
"Mr. Mo Cheng, can you make a Thomas maneuver?"
"What?"
"Thomas spin, preferably 4320 degrees, I want to see ......"
Wujiu was stunned, Mo Cheng was also stunned, what kind of strange dialogue was it?
"Ah, this ......," Mo Cheng glanced at Wujiu with some help.
Of course, in the world of the cube man, the eyes can only be understood but not shaped.
"If you don't do it, I won't take you out."
"No, why is that......"
"No why, I just want to see you do the Thomas maneuver."
Mo Cheng glared at Bai Wu, Bai Wu was immune to this gaze, and said to Wujiu:
"Captain, let's go, leave him alone, we have to leave quickly, or the monster will come up just now."
Although Wujiu didn't understand what Bai Wu was doing, he still nodded and cooperated with Bai Wu to talk nonsense.
"I do! I can't do it! When Mo Cheng heard that there was a monster, he immediately coaxed.
"Isn't it Thomas Gyro! It's not a striptease again! ”
As he spoke, Mo Cheng put his head on the ground, ready to start spinning. Wujiu suddenly wanted to laugh a little, and then immediately thought of something that was not funny.
When he was in the ward, Bai Wu watched himself imitate Cain, is it just like now, he sees Mo Cheng doing Thomas maneuver in a mood?
However, turning 4,320 degrees is not something that ordinary people can do.
Mo Cheng turned around, felt that his hair had been worn out a little, and gave up.
Bai Wu nodded and said:
"It's okay, I'm talking about fun, don't mind, come with us, we'll get you out of here."
"Huh? Is that okay? Mo Cheng didn't understand what Bai Wu was thinking.
"Well, but you have to listen to us, and any decision you make, it's better to tell us, otherwise we won't be responsible if something goes wrong." You should know how dangerous this building is. ”
Mo Cheng stood up in embarrassment, and nodded excitedly when he heard Bai Wu's words.
Wujiu still didn't understand what the white fog was doing.
Bai Wu didn't tell the captain in detail.
The penalty for failing the mission is very high, and Mo Cheng's attributes are even weaker than that of a first-level explorer like himself, which shows that the reward for the mission is also very high.
Bai Wu believes that if an NPC like Mo Cheng who dies after two touches, if he can take him through the level, it shows that there are many possibilities to avoid fighting in the game scene.
As long as Mo Cheng doesn't die.
Whether it was a conversation about the upgrade of security or Thomas's behavior, Bai Wu was sure that Mo Cheng had his own will, and was not controlled by the "game program".
At least he believed in one thing, and it was not in the "game" to make Mo Cheng make the strange request of Thomas to maneuver.
And Mo Cheng did not make 4,320 degrees, that is, twelve turns, it can also be seen that his body is also under his own control, and he is not controlled by the game program.
Another point is that in this game, there is no action limit, although there are only a few attributes, but it will not be like a real game, and many actions cannot be done.
At the same time, in this process, he saw that Mo Cheng's desire to survive was very strong.
To sum up, Bai Wu believes that Mo Cheng will not be like many NPCs in the game who escort missions, and he also likes to charge at monsters.
When he played these games in his previous life, he only felt that planning was brain-dead, why would the escorted NPC take the initiative to go to the monster?
The three of them soon came to the top of the stairs.
Wujiu originally wanted to ask about the method of turning Liu Du back into a human, but Bai Wu was asking Mo Cheng, and he was not in a hurry at this time.
"What the hell is going on in this building? Why did it suddenly become like this? ”
"Aren't you security guards?"
"Can't security guards take vacations? Can't a security guard be unaware of something? Do security guards have to know everything? When can security guards stand up? Bai Wu was very angry, although in his tone, he was completely reading the lines.
Mo Cheng felt that the white fog was weird, but he felt that one of these two people was holding an ax and the other was holding a short knife, and he still had to be careful:
"Two years ago, there were a lot of monsters on the outskirts of the city, and there were often people in the city who turned into monsters, but Denglin Technology Company has never had it, this company, claiming to be researching monster antibodies, they have the first people to become monsters!"
If we think of evil degeneration as a virus, then the first person to become a monster is Patient Zero.
If this news is true, then I am afraid that this exploration can obtain great information.
Provided that all this is true.
"There are more and more strange things in the city, there are more and more monsters, many companies are going bankrupt, many shops are closing. Only Denglin Technology is still the same as a few years ago...... That's why I came here to work, good guy, and it's said that there were tens of thousands of emails delivered to this technology company at that time, and I was considered a lucky one. ”
Mo Cheng paused, and then said:
"But yesterday...... Everything is different, the monster escaped! ”
"The first to mutate?"
"Yes, it's like a powerful source of infection, making the people around us constantly change, it's terrible, we must not take the elevator! I saw with my own eyes that the people in the elevator were in pain, and many strange things had grown. ”
Mo Cheng was telling the truth, after hearing the alarm on the seventh floor, he was ready to take the elevator to leave as soon as possible.
But as soon as he stepped out of the office, he saw a large crowd of people crowded at the elevator entrance, all of whom had some characteristics that were not human.
This scene frightened Mo Cheng and hurriedly returned to the house, trembling and curled up.
After about an hour, he noticed that there was no movement, and he walked out, except for some painful cries from the sixth floor at the top of the staircase.
He was so frightened that he kept running up again.
"Awesome. By the way, it's 2023? ”
"What? What 2023, brother, why are you always talking weird, don't scare me! It's all 2028......"
Bai Wu was stunned.
Of the few points he has gotten so far, 2027 is the most mutated, with many people already living in the tower in 2027.
He had thought that 2027 would be the last year of the Taqian era......
But this turned out to be 2028?
This means that the mutation outside the tower is more exaggerated than in 2027, but there are still a large number of humans who have not become evil, and they are still roaming the city or outside, looking for supplies to survive.
It's just that...... If they can't enter the tower, as the rules outside the tower become more and more distorted, what awaits them will inevitably be evil and degenerate.
While the three of them were talking, they had been walking the stairs, they had reached the thirteenth floor, and so far, they had not encountered any monsters.
But when he was about to enter the twelfth floor, a large group of monsters with black skin and extremely irregular facial features rushed up, like half-melted chocolate.
Wujiu subconsciously stood in the front of the look, and the white mist protected Mo Cheng and said:
"Don't leave us!"
"Don't worry! If you drive me away, I won't leave! Mo Cheng was so frightened that he cried.
There were sixteen of them in this group, and they were all dressed in white lab coats.
There is a monster with a relatively strong physique in the middle, and the remarks displayed are - [Infected experimenter lv2, health 10/10, attack power 4, defense 0.] Movement speed 1. 】。
The rest of the monsters are all first-level infected: [Infected experimenter, lv1, health 8/8, attack power 3, defense 0. Movement speed 1. 】
At this moment, Bai Mist calculated the result of the battle between the captain and this group of monsters.
"The captain's basic defense is 1, and the ring +1 is two points, but the monster's attack power is 3, that is, each monster will force the captain to deduct a little blood, and there is one of them that can make the captain deduct two points."
"And the captain's attack power is 6, plus the evil fall must die, that is 12 points. Theoretically, the captain can stab a child, but the durability of the evil fall must die is only 9, and it has cost a little to pick the lock just now, that is to say, it is better to keep the weapon to deal with those monsters that may not be able to break the defense on their own. ”
White Mist already had an answer, and when the monster was about to rush over, White Mist said:
"Captain, take advantage of the entrance of the building, try not to let yourself face multiple monsters at the same time, and in addition, if you can not use weapons, try not to use weapons as much as possible!"
Wujiu instantly understood the meaning of the white mist, he nodded and said:
"I see."
The three of them fought and retreated. Because the movement speed is the same,The number of monsters that Wujiu faces is also the same.,Because the order of each monster is different.,It's basically to keep one monster solved by Wujiu.,Another monster immediately rushes up.。
In this game, the attack speed of all creatures seems to be constant.
Although Wujiu is not faster than them, Mo Cheng can do Thomas maneuvers, and Wujiu can also make some difficult dodge moves.
When all the monsters were resolved, they all retreated to the fourteenth floor.
The stairwells on the twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth floors are full of corpses of various monsters.
Mo Cheng says:
"Is this the strength of the fifth-level emperor? Terrifying! ”
Bai Wu is also very satisfied, but this time it is a good location.
If the upper and lower monsters are flanked...... Even if the short brother can make some dodge moves with his body, I'm afraid he will have to lose most of his health.
Bai Wu doesn't think that a dozen monsters are too many, in 2028...... I'm afraid that in the city, it can already be described as a tide of evil.
"Look...... Those monsters seem to have dropped something. Mo Cheng reminded.
