173 BLOODSTAINED GLACIER PART.2
The headless corpse in heavy black armor fell to the ground, not even a drop of blood came out of the cold, and a thin layer of light red ice had formed on the wound.
"Mission accomplished."
Turning the shiny decapitator "Andrea" behind him, Gulliver the Executioner stood in the rebel camp with corpses on the ground, looking around at the ordnance piled up in the camp.
As a mercenary, in addition to the commission for completing tasks, most of the time you can also earn a lot of "extra money".
Of course, it is not possible to ask for tasks to find objects, but Gulliver has always been tasked with executions. As long as they kill all the people, they can call it a day and leave, and the employer does not care about the personal belongings of the target.
As an executioner who executed thousands of people, Gulliver was already accustomed to death, and he did not have the naïve idea of "respecting the relics of the enemy" that is common to recruits.
After each mission, he plunders on the battlefield. When they see something valuable on their enemies, they will immediately take it back and sell it for money. If there is something that interests me, I will also collect it.
"What's that?"
Seeing the object wrapped in white cloth next to the tent, Gulliver walked over quickly, ripped off the white cloth on it, and revealed a huge black ballista underneath, with silver-white sharp arrows, which stood out against the black cannon body.
No wonder these defectors walked so slowly, they could catch up with them at their own speed, it turned out that they also carried such heavy weapons.
"Idiot." Gulliver had a mocking smile on his face.
In his opinion, a defecting soldier should "travel lightly" and flee with a large number of inconvenient weapons, which is completely an act of seeking death.
Even if he hadn't come to eliminate these idiots, the pursuing forces of the Ice Kingdom would probably have arrived soon.
After a quick inspection of the barracks, I didn't see anything of interest, and the only thing of value was probably the heavy ballista in the center of the camp. But it wasn't possible to take it with you.
"It's bad luck."
Gulliver, who had found nothing, grabbed his wolfskin cloak and draped it over his body, and was about to turn away when the ground beneath his feet began to shake violently.
――――――――――――
"Oh, is the boss coming!"
The blonde girl rested her chin on Zhao Nuo's shoulder while speaking, staring at the screen without blinking.
Zhao Nuo sighed and said, "Get out of the way, this will affect my performance." ”
Christine glared at him, then obediently stepped back. Sensing that the "weight" on his shoulders had disappeared, Zhao Nuo finally breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, it would not be good to knock out this girl's tooth if you push it hard.
Although he couldn't see the barrage in the live broadcast room, Zhao Nuo could already guess the content of the unscrupulous audience. But now he doesn't care about what the audience says.
Because the next game content will probably be very, special, and extremely difficult.
Although you should be able to fight without dying, if you want to clear the level without injury, you must go all out and not take it lightly.
"Boom!"
There was an explosion on the ice next to the camp, and a huge block of ice smashed into it with a thousand powers, and the blood-red "N" in the center of the screen was fleeting.
In the eyes of ordinary players, this QTE is probably already harsh to the disgusting Cheng dù. However, for Zhao Nuo, who has a very fast reaction speed, it is not a problem to complete this kind of QTE.
The moment he pressed the N, Gulliver retreated like a wandering ghost, dodging the ice that fell from the sky. Watch as the translucent giant "cannonball" smashes down next to the pitch-black ballista, blasting out a cloud of pale smoke and dust made of a combination of snow and broken ice.
"Okay, now we can see an explosion in the frozen river next to us, probably because the 'submarine' is coming out."
As Zhao Nuo spoke, he manipulated Gulliver to run forward, trying to get out of the dangerous area he was in now. According to the experience of tackling key problems in ordinary difficulty, the faster you run here, the less pressure you will have to operate later.
Then, he soon realized that at the highest difficulty, no matter how fast he ran here, he would encounter an incredibly difficult test.
"Whoa!"
The massive snow-covered ice began to crumble rapidly, Gulliver's running speed slowed down, and in order to avoid the falling ice and debris in front of him, various combinations of QTEs began to appear on the screen, and the combination of keys was extremely strange:
B+P。
Zhao Nuo pressed the B button with his left thumb and the P button with his right hand, and manipulated Gulliver to dodge the stones falling from the sky.
C+R。
This time the operation is all focused on the left hand, but that's all it takes, while completing the QTE, the left hand also has to control the arrow keys of zhìWSAD to avoid the obstacles in front of you, and as long as you slow down a little in this level, it will be the end of death.
After a few appearances of the QTE of the two buttons, the next thing that appears is the anti-human triple QTE.
Z+N+O。
In order to complete this QTE, Zhao Nuo's hands took on a weird pose, which looked a bit like the "Nine Yin White Bone Claw".
At this time, Gulliver was already on the verge of death, and there were more and more ice and rubble falling from the sky behind him, and it was obvious that some big guy broke through the ice and rushed out to cause such terrifying destructive power.
While the executioner struggled to escape, the pressure on Zhao Nuo, who was sitting in front of the computer and operating, was no less than Gulliver in the game.
At this time, "The Executioner" is not so much an action game as it has become a beat game like "Band Force". The difference is that there is no scorer in this game, and if you fail once, you will be greeted with death!
C+G+L。
B+K+P。
……
After more than a dozen consecutive "triple QTEs", even Zhao Nuo was a little tired.
――Although the highest difficulty of action games is usually very disgusting, this kind of anti-human mode of operation is rarely encountered by him.
The concentration and reaction speed required in this situation is even greater than when you are racing in a race car!
Not only do you have to press three buttons at the same time as fast as you can, but you also have to control the arrow keys to dodge obstacles that fall in front of you. The third level of the highest difficulty of "The Executioner" requires not only reaction speed, but also the player's complete "single-mindedness" in order to have the possibility of getting through.
Under Zhao Nuo's ghostly manipulation, the executioner Gulliver has arrived at the foot of the hill where he was lurking before, and when he is about to enter the safe area, the last QTE arrives.
Z+Z+H+U。
In an instant, I hit the Z button twice in a row, and then pressed H and U violently with my right hand. Gulliver crouched on the ground, and the heavy ballista in the barracks just now flew over his head and slammed into the snow in front of him.
At the same time, the game graphics have been significantly improved, and there is no doubt that the switch to CG graphics has been made.
Until this time, Zhao Nuo finally breathed a sigh of relief, left the keyboard with both hands and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and then said:
"The Executioner's maximum difficulty is so scary that if you don't particularly like the game, don't try it."
Although he said so, he still had a happy smile on his face at this time.
After completing the game process of this difficulty, the sense of accomplishment brought by it is not usually strong. It's been a long time since a game has allowed him to experience such crazy feelings.
But he knew that the great escape just now was just a warm-up.
The real boss battle will not start until the CG animation ends.
