Chapter 028 ID: Forest (Encounter with the Player)

Only by taking the initiative to contact the curse can it be possible to find the flaws in the curse.

With this line of thought as the course of action, Fang Liang and Cao Zhengfei will take the initiative to track down the curse within a certain degree of danger.

Of course, in case he couldn't be defeated when he died, Fang Liang would find a way to run away with a curse.

In addition, Fang Liang also prepared for the worst, got some red sand in advance, and spread half a circle around the clinic.

Once the curse starts to attack wildly, Fang Liang will use the red sand line as the standard, activating the dead line effect to try to block the attack.

After Lu Ming and Li Xiaoyu get the new rules, they can also build a shelter and conduct a small area of exploration and investigation near the clinic. These actions can try to activate the curse on their bodies, so that they themselves have the means to deal with strange events.

As for the Tonghu Town Rural Primary School, Fang Liang did not plan to investigate further.

These investigator sets appear to be side quests, and doing them will reward you with equipment, resource supplies, items, and more.

The difficulty, mainly lies in the flying scarecrow.

In Fang Liang's opinion, the existence of this scarecrow was like a murderous phantom created by Duan Jianmin, and it did not belong to the original form of the curse.

While the Scarecrow may be part of the law of the curse, it is not the source, and addressing it will not solve the problem.

And there's a hidden, suspected NPC over there, since that guy can find the clinic all the way, it means that this guy's own tracking ability is much stronger than the scarecrow, and if you need intelligence, you can try to contact this guy, instead of talking to the scarecrow.

If this hidden NPC has been spying on the investigator's movements, he must have known about the scarecrow-related curses.

Armed with the necessary supplies, Fang Liang and Cao Zhengfei left the clinic and headed for the church that once existed on the map.

The doctor's mental condition is not very stable, but after last night's conversation, he recalled a lot of information this morning.

One piece of information was that the believers and priests who had come from out of town had been in close contact with the boy in the photo. They seem to have initially intended to take the boy away and make him the spokesman of their church, but then they didn't know why.

Now that I think about it, these strangers who used money to open the way are very suspicious, and maybe they are the ones who triggered the curse.

Whether you're looking for surviving NPCs or keeping an eye out for other players, you'll need to increase your exploration range.

Walking past abandoned bazaars and crumbling country houses, it seems that this cursed town was once glorious.

However, all this in front of us is the price of brilliance.

Soon, Fang Liang and Cao Zhengfei had already left the house area of Tonghu Town and approached the church building in the suburbs.

After a while, the two of them already smelled the smell of burning trees, looked at each other, and entered a state of vigilance at the same time.

Avoiding the Heavenly Mushroom wriggling in the shadows, Fang Liang reached for the pistol in his arms with one hand, and the cat slowly approached in the dark.

What alerted Fang Liang was a wild camp that had just been extinguished by a bonfire.

Peeling back the leaves, you can clearly see three dilapidated camouflage tents, a few pairs of boots, a cloud of black charcoal still emitting white smoke, and a rudimentary cooking pot propped up from tree branches.

The camp was about 50 meters away from the woods, and it was evident that the people who set up the camp were very afraid of approaching the woods.

"Huh? Could it be a player who has already survived two nights? ”

Fang Liang's expression moved slightly, if he could meet other players, it would be a good thing, it showed that the curse law had traces to follow, and it was not certain to die in the wild, as long as he avoided triggering the killing law, he could temporarily guarantee survival.

"Hello?"

If you don't think too much, you have to act if you decide, and wasting your daytime is tantamount to chronic suicide.

The moment a figure emerged from the tent, Fang Liang had already approached with a gun, and Cao Zhengfei was also surrounded from the flanks with a short-barreled shotgun.

The Night Vault does not require much weapon resources during the day, it is blocked by houses and buildings, and melee weapons are sufficient to deal with it.

The figure who got out of the tent looked back, and his heart suddenly chuckled: "These two people actually have guns!" ”

Fang Liang got straight to the point: "Is it a player?" ”

"If yes, we can exchange information, and if you don't understand what we're saying, please prove that you're normal."

"Don't try to change the subject, don't move where you are, I'll only say that once."

The man who had just tried to get back into the tent stiffened, so he had to slowly turn around completely.

It can be seen that although this guy looks ordinary, compared to the suffering locals, he may not have even seen mushroom extract, the fine skin and tender flesh do not have too many wrinkles, and the slightly plump limbs also meet the health standards of modern people.

The player raised his hand and said, "Yes, it's the player, don't shoot!" Killing other players for no reason is a point punishment! ”

"We're investigating the curse, you guys called the people out of the tent, and we exchanged supplies for information, what do you think?"

Fang Liang squinted his eyes and stared at him, but his ears were catching all the movements around him, such a dual-purpose and concentrating was a very mentally draining thing, if it was a normal situation, Fang Liang would not do this.

The player smiled wryly, he couldn't expect the tent to stop the bullets right now.

Originally, in order to avoid the strangeness caused by the trees, the tent was deliberately chosen on the grass with few trees.

Fortunately, there were no trees or rocks as shelter, and people inside and outside the tent were completely targeted.

Threatened by two gunmen, the trio in the tent thought about it and decided to come out to negotiate.

This relieved the three strange players, at least the other party was not a crazy person who killed people indiscriminately.

The atmosphere relaxed a little, and players on both sides began to exchange questions about the [ID:Forest] curse.

Fang Liang took the initiative here, so he took the lead in asking: "It's dangerous at night, how did you survive these two nights?" ”

The player, who was wearing a black and white baseball cap, took the initiative to reply: "We are lucky, we have mastered a curse law from the beginning, this law is very simple, it is the curse that erupts here, and it always gives priority to attacking the most densely populated places. ”

"For example, if there are only 3 of us staying together, the [Kuroshio] attack will not be triggered at night, at most there will only be some wild people or wild dogs to find our tracks, their combat effectiveness is not very strong, and they can solve the problem with melee weapons."

Fang Liang's eyes moved slightly, and the doctor himself had said something similar.

It's no wonder that they were attacked violently and strangely on the first night, and it turned out that the trigger condition of the curse was met, and the situation of 5 people in a group made them the preferred target, which in some way allowed the other players to avoid the result of a violent start to the game.

However, there was a brim and a mask to block the view, and it was difficult for the other party to see Fang Liang's expression clearly: "We know this one, but I have another question, how did you deal with the beginning of the dungeon?" Tell us a little bit about what happened to you. ”

The baseball cap player continued, "We started the game with a weird dream and woke up to find ourselves kidnapped by a crazy doctor and trapped in a small secret room. ”

"When the countdown to the quest is over, the mad doctor intends to inject us with a substance, we lost a teammate in the process of resisting, killed the doctor monster, found a small amount of curse information in his residence, and managed to survive the quiet first night."

On the first night of the quiet world, when the Kuroshio Tide attack was launched, the doctor's house was about to be demolished, and the gang was also lucky.

Fang Liang was a little speechless and a little enlightened, it seemed that there were many players who chose to kill doctors, but there were very few like them who didn't kill them.

It's just that there is a paradox: if each player starts the game with a dream and is kidnapped by the Medic, if more than 2 groups of people choose not to kill the Medic, will there be a strange situation where the two Medics meet?

There is no doubt that only the power of the Curse can do all this, and under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to have multiple Medics at the same time to kidnap all players in the same way.

Sensing that Fang Liang was thinking, the baseball cap player smiled shyly: "Hey, hey, we're capable of this, but, big guy, you're really starting to take off!" ”

"It's weapons and equipment, and you're wearing the costume of an ancient detective, right? Is there any information that is convenient to disclose? ”

Fang Liang didn't mind this, since there was a reward and punishment for killing players indiscriminately, it showed that the game itself was at least somewhat binding, and said bluntly: "We went to Copper Kettle Town, that is, the town that was swallowed by the forest, and found weapons and equipment there. ”

"We found our equipment in the backyard of a country elementary school, but there's a more difficult monster over there, and if you can get your hands on that monster, you might be able to get a set of guns or equipment like ours."

Of course, Fang Liang didn't plan to go again, he had to use the power of the curse to deal with that monster before he could deal with it.

Originally, the curse was extremely easy to get out of control, and it was not worth it in Fang Liang's opinion to fight hard for a few ordinary pieces of equipment.

It's just that Fang Liang has a lot of things that he hasn't figured out, and regarding the power of the curse itself, he is currently cautiously guessing the state.

Fang Liang said again: "We know the laws of lighting and the like, but have you ever met other players on the road?" ”

The baseball cap player got the information, and he was obviously in a good mood, and he forgot about being threatened with a gun just now, after all, this place is really cursed, if he is not vigilant enough, the two people in front of him will not survive this third day:

"Well, we met at least two teams of people, and everyone knew this rule, so it was impossible to act together."

"A large number of people nesting together is almost equivalent to the annihilation of the group, but I don't know which group has the largest number of people at the moment."

However, according to the doctor's records, the strangeness of the Kuroshio invasion is that the more people there are, the more dangerous it is, and the fewer people it is, the safer it is. However, it is unclear whether the curse will attack some people randomly or all at once after all teams are split into single players. ”

Fang Liang thought in his heart: Yesterday we were still 5 people, but we were not attacked by the Black Tide, which means that the curse law was not triggered.

Players who know the rules and survive from the bootstrap prologue, i.e. Kidnapping Night, have no reason to force themselves into a group of 6, unless they have to do so after encountering a serious threat.

Moreover, the choice of these people to run away overnight after killing the doctor caused the information they got to be different from Fang Liang and the others.

Is it really the number of people who decided to curse the attack?

Fang Liang feels that the number of people is only one of the laws, and there may also be some rules in the space and distance between people.

"Okay, nice to work with."

"Time is precious during the day, let's flash first, and we'll see you again."

Fang Liang was about to run away, but found that the three players did not leave, but quickly received the tent and other materials into the backpack space, and came up with a blank eye: "Big guy, where are you going, can you take us for a while?" ”
