Chapter 017: Foreshadowing
Compared to [Tyrant], these biochemical monsters are less difficult to kill, and the only thing to worry about is to avoid being besieged. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chen Mu's eyes fell on the watchtower not far away, and he vaguely saw a figure flashing from behind the window, he immediately pulled his legs and said hello to the two teammates who were still standing in place stupidly, and they saw that Chen Mu didn't care, so they quickly followed. The three of them walked through a corridor, Chen Mu's electromagnetic induction locked the NPC's position, and he instructed the flying pig to step forward and use the flamethrower gun to melt the door lock, and then the monkey kicked it open and broke the door in.
The environment inside the door was the same as that of a normal prison, dark and damp, except for a stone staircase that led to it.
At this moment, there was the sound of hurried footsteps on the stairs.
"Alert!"
Chen Mu gave an order.
Master Monkey and Flying Pig took out their pistols, and the three of them stood in formation.
A few seconds later, an NPC in a heavily armed bulletproof helmet ran down anxiously.
"Who are you?"
The two sides collided in a hurry, and the NPC was startled at first, and the voice that came from the helmet was a woman, a little weak, but extra vigilant.
"We are the Federal Government Task Force, please identify yourself!!" Chen Mu's eyes couldn't help but flash, he raised his voice and said in a cold tone, "We are looking for a man named Julia. Walker's women, the federal government and the CDC entrusted us with her safe release. ”
What federal government?
What CDC?
I've never heard of it......
Hearing this, the monkey master and the flying pig couldn't help but look at Chen Mu, the two opened their mouths to say something, but they were interrupted by his sharp eyes, and they suffocated back into their stomachs. This information was learned by Chen Mu from the personnel file transferred by the Red Queen, and he suspected that the NPC in front of him was Julia.
Judging from the information gathered so far, Julia already has a deep hostility towards Ambrera Company, and the ordinary branch line is to let Chen Mu kill her directly, and there is no need to negotiate at all. Looking at the hidden task on the other hand, the key word is "silver pupil", but the identity is not specified. Although Chen Mu is basically sure that "Julia" is this key NPC, if the other party does not expose the silver pupil, he will not be able to enter the next ring.
Maybe Chen Mu can kill her directly and then take off her contact lenses, but what if the "Silver Pupil" needs to be activated by blood, similar to [Writing Wheel Eye], and who can guarantee that the hidden mission is also to kill Julia?
You know, hidden missions are often the ones that change the direction of the ending.
If the hidden side story [Phantom of the Silver Eyes] is not triggered, Julia will definitely be killed in the hive in the end, and it is impossible for the Red Queen to let her go regardless of whether there is a normal side story [Dangerous Spy].
Therefore, Chen Mu does not rule out other hypotheses.
To sum up, he was ready to test it first.
Anyway, be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship ......
"What is your specific mission?"
The NPC, who was tightly wrapped and did not show his face, hurriedly asked.
"The federal government has given us a mission to rescue Julia, and I can't give away any other information. Identify yourself now! ”
Chen Mu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pulled the safety of the pistol, and at the same time accentuated his tone, putting on an aggressive posture.
The NPC hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and finally took off his helmet, his shoulder-length blonde hair fell like a waterfall, and the pretty face of the half-breed was much more beautiful than on the file, and the silhouette resembled the heroine of the "Resident Evil" movie version, with fair skin and slightly puffy cheeks, which should be caused by malnutrition.
"I'm Julia!"
Compared to her tired appearance, her eyes were unusually bright and bright, and naturally emitted a brilliant silver glow in the darkness.
Chen Mu looked directly at the silver eyes, and his eyes were faintly tingling.
[Congratulations on completing the first part of the hidden side quest!] 】
[You get a dungeon clearance rating of 230 (+15%)!] 】
[Open the second ring of the hidden side quest, please check the player log in time to confirm whether you accept it.] 】
At the same time, the ears of the three Chen Mu also sounded the sound of the system's prompt.
The rating reward is even more than double that of the main story!
Chen Mu hurriedly flipped through the player log.
(2) [Hidden Branch of the Freshman Tutorial: Phantom of the Silver Eye]
Current Mission Objective (Ring 2): Escort Julia to the 25th floor of the Hive Lab to obtain important research data and uncover the secrets of Ambrera's development of biological weapons.
Mission Time Limit: None
Rewards: Complete all of them to unlock 20% of the world's progress, 800 Demon Hunting Points.
The content of the second ring of the update does not conflict with the main quest, and it is actually Ambrera Corporation that is affected by the story.
After Chen Mu clicked [Accept], the system's prompt surprised him.
[For the pursuit of justice to awaken your conscience, Ambrella's bloody biochemical research threatens the survival of all mankind, and from now on, your camp will be temporarily changed to 'government forces', and Julia's death will be judged as a failure of the dungeon.] 】
[Mandatory mission, can't give up, protecting Julia's safety will be your first duty!] 】
“......”
It's just a deep pit, Chen Mu is speechless.
Chen Mu raised his eyes and glanced at the two teammates, and found that the name of the monkey master suddenly turned red, showing that he was a hostile target, and he had not yet accepted the task.
Really......
After changing sides, Chen Mu and the others are equivalent to defecting into government forces, and they are naturally opposed to the players who defend the interests of Ambrera's company, in other words, the second ring of the hidden branch is equivalent to a watershed, and players who were teammates before can now kill each other. The system doesn't care if you're false or not, or how you gain Julia's trust, and once confirmed, force you to change sides.
After the monkey master accepted the task, his name turned green.
Master Monkey and Flying Pig have not yet noticed the abnormality after changing camps, they think it is just a process.
Out of the corner of his eye, Chen Mu glanced at Julia, and he was surprised to find that Julia's name had not turned green, but was still neutral white as before. Chen Mu's heart moved, and he quickly communicated with the flying pig and the monkey master, and learned that Julia in their eyes had changed to a green companion.
"What's going on? ......" Chen Mu's mind flashed, and he suddenly thought of his unique ordinary branch, the task given to him by the Red Queen.
[Dangerous Spy]!
One of the descriptions reads: "Note that this is not a task given to you by headquarters, but as an armed security guard of Ambrera, your mission is to defend the interests of the company." Please do your duty to nip the hidden dangers of Hive Lab 104 in the cradle! ”
Thinking of this, Chen Muden was stunned.
Julia's was not targeted in the main quest, so it logically made sense for her to become a companion, and even after changing factions, the main quest still worked. However, Chen Mu has a branch line that explicitly executes Julia, so the real spy is himself.
At the same time, there is no time limit and no conditions for executing Julia, which means that he can completely hide the side and main story after completing it......
"The guy who designed this plot copy is black-bellied......" Chen Mu wanted to clear the trick, and sighed in his heart: "Do you want me to kill the protagonist?" ......”
