Chapter 301: Surviving the Dawn: Phase 1 (13)

"What the hell is going on?" Mike came over from the kitchen with food, "Emily? What's wrong with you, you look like a mess? ”

"It's hard to put into words a word about escaping death. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Emily sighed.

"yes, she said she fell into the pit and there were monsters chasing her." Christopher said.

"The pit? Oh yes, the mine, I chased that monster to a mine before, and I found the sanatorium only after I walked through the mine. ”

"It seems that this pit does exist, but what about the monster? Isn't it Joshua's ghost? Christopher felt like he was going to go out of sorts.

"It's definitely not Joshua, I can see clearly, it's a monster." Emily said with great certainty.

At this time, there was a sudden and violent knock on the door.

"Who?"

"Joshua?"

"Jessica?"

"It's not Jessica, she's dead."

"It can't be Joshua, he's in the basement."

"Matthew?!" Emily jumped to her feet, pounced on her, and opened the door with a look of joy on her face. Emily was startled when she saw the person at the door, and she almost fell, but was fortunately held back by a player.

"Who are you?!" Mike raised his pistol to the stranger outside the door.

The man outside the door walked in casually, with a jar on his back and a strange firearm in his hand, looking at the people in the room with disdain.

With a flicker, Mike's gun was snatched away, and the man pinched Mike's arm, Mike screamed in pain and begged for mercy, and the man let go of his hand and threw Mike aside.

"Alright, uncle, take it easy," Mike rubbed his arm as he got up from the ground.

"Alright, everybody, calm down," the man said, "Now, you all go over there, hurry up, let's go!" Let me finish what I have to say. ”

Someone drove both the NPC and the player into the corner.

"I'm here to tell you what you'll have to deal with when you come back to this mountain. You shouldn't have come back at all, I don't understand why you're coming back after what happened last year. ”

"Do you know about Hannah and Beth?" Samantha asked.

"Of course."

"You're not here, how do you know?" Christopher asked.

"Who said I wasn't there, I've been here all along. But you little devils came to my mountain, and I don't like it. ”

"Your mountain?" Emily seemed to remember something and blurted out, "You're the wanted arsonist?" ”

Seeing that the other party didn't want to deny it at all, everyone present gasped.

"Hehe, speaking of which, this mountain can't be considered mine, and certainly not the Washington family's, it's Wendigo's territory."

"Who?" Christopher asked, confused.

"What are you talking about?" Samantha also asked with a puzzled expression, "What the hell is Wendigo?" ”

"I'll only say it once, I don't care if you believe it or not. I have my reasons... I'm not vomiting or unhappy... There is a curse hidden inside this mountain. As soon as someone is forced to eat their own kind in this forest, the evil spirit of Wendigo will be released. ”

Mike seemed to remember some bad memories and muttered to himself, "Damn... It must be that guy... The guy who took Jessica..."

"You've got to find a safe place, the basement should be okay." Samantha said.

"All of you go down at once and wait there."

"What? Why? How long do you have to wait? Samantha asked.

Emily sighed, "Wait until dawn and the police will come." ”

"Things are changing in the mountains so don't mess with me," the uncle said, pointing at Mike, "especially you, you blew the doors of the sanatorium open and released all the Wendigo, and now they could be anywhere in the mountains." ”

Mike was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I'm willing to go with you to destroy those things." ”

"Just you? What weapons will you use? ”

"I know there's a shotgun in the villa, and that thing works better than a pistol." Mike said.

"Alright, grab your shotgun and go out on patrol with me. Kill them one by one before they surround the villa. ”

"I'm with you too?" Christopher said.

"Forget it, stay and protect the girl."

"No, I'm going to be with you, it's safe in the basement, there's no danger to the girls." Christopher said.

At Christopher's insistence, the uncle had to take him again, because Christopher could not use a pistol, and Mike had to give him a shotgun, while he himself used a pistol.

At this time, the players are having a heated discussion in the mission channel. The discussion focused on whether to go out and hunt the Wendigo on their own initiative, or stay and protect the NPCs. Another question is whether the player needs to protect the NPC uncle who has just appeared.

In the end, the players decided to split into two groups, one group to stay behind to protect the people in the villa, and one group to follow Uncle and Mike out. As for whether it is necessary to protect the uncle, everyone decides to improvise.

Tang Tu's group chose to stay because the target of their protection was still Samantha.

There are three girls left in the villa and Joshua who is tied up in the basement, and Mike and Christopher go out with their uncle, along with a dozen other players.

The people in the villa took a few steps to the basement, and Ashley suddenly didn't want to go again.

"I'll stay on top, in case they come back and someone needs to open the door for them." Ashley said.

Everyone understood that Ashley should have been worried about Christopher's stay. As a result, a dozen more players stayed on it to stay with Ashley.

Samantha and Emily went down to the basement, and together they came to the place where Joshua was held.

Joshua came to his senses as soon as he saw everyone, "Emily? Why are you so embarrassed? Why is it just the two of you, and the others? Is Christopher still mad at me? I said I'm sorry. Also, tell Mike that I didn't kill Jessica, and I didn't even think about hurting you. ”

Samantha walked over to help Joshua untie him, "Yes, we believe you, and an uncle came over and told us the truth. ”

"Uncle? What uncle? Joshua asked, confused.

"I think he should be the guardian of this mountain, he said that this mountain has a curse, and there is a monster called Wendigo here, and they attacked Jessica and Emily." Samantha explained briefly.

"Wendigo? I heard it when I was a kid and it seems to be a legend in the mountains. But uncle, the mountain guard? How is it possible, our family did not arrange mountain guards in the mountains. Joshua was amazed.

"I think he's... He was holding a flamethrower, and I think he was the arsonist on the wanted notice, and he didn't deny it when we asked him about it. Samantha said.

"Arsonist? It's that guy, he's always been against our family," Joshua looked very anxious, "he must have bad intentions, no, I have to go to Mike and Christopher, I can't let them have an accident." ”

With that, Joshua ran upward, and Samantha and Emily tried to hold him, but he threw them off.

Joshua ran out of the villa, followed only by a few players, and he forgot to take his weapon.

There are only three female NPCs in the villa, and there are about thirty of the remaining players, all of whom have been scattered except for the previous deaths.

The three girls were a little flustered and walked around the house, even forgetting to go to the basement to hide.

After a while, shouts rang out from outside the house, and Mike and Christopher ran frantically towards the villa.

"Open the door! Let's get inside! Mike ran to the front and shouted.

Samantha hurriedly opened the door, and Mike rushed in first, Christopher was still a little away.

Tang Tu happened to be standing by the door, frowning, taking out a "blessing" card and throwing it on Christopher. But as soon as the card is activated, Christopher is pounced on by a monster.

It was a humanoid monster, as tall as an adult, but its body was very obscene, as if it was hungry, but it moved very quickly, holding Christopher's head with one claw, and then... Bloody cerebral plasma bursts.

"Ahh The screams of the girls rang out in the room.

Mike immediately closed the door, and he leaned on the door and watched Christopher be killed.

The monster didn't seem to have much interest in the people in the villa, and after killing Christopher, he ran away and disappeared into the forest.

At this time, in the quest channel, players almost decided that Joshua would not survive either, although the players who followed Joshua said that they were okay for the time being.

None of the players who followed Mike and the others came back, and Mike said that he was alive because the players helped them stop the monsters.

So far, the number of NPCs confirmed dead has increased to three - Jessica, Matthew, and Christopher - and Joshua has been sentenced to death.

The remaining four NPCs are in the villa at this time, and there are more than thirty players here.

Tang Tu took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, it was already more than two o'clock in the morning, and it would be dawn after two or three hours. If everyone stays in the villa, there is still a good chance that the task will be completed.

Christopher died almost instantly, and Ashley was hit hard, and Samantha and Emily persuaded him for a long time before he could get in.

After Mike's suggestion, the four NPCs decided to go to the basement, and there was no point in Ashley staying on it.

"By the way, what about the old fellow?" Emily asked Mike.

"We scattered, and more than one monster showed up, and he took one away," Mike said, "and I think he might have died, too." ”

Mike led everyone to the monitoring room, where Joshua had learned about everyone's movements in the monitoring room. Mike earnestly searched for something on the surveillance screen.

"What are you looking for?" Samantha asked.

"Another way out. We've got to be ready, if those Wendigo come down from above, we've got to know where to run. Mike said as a matter of course.

"There's no other door here, is there?" Samantha said, "Mike, why don't we block the way up there so that those Wendigo can't get out, so we should be able to stay here until dawn, at least it's a lot safer than it is up there." ”

"Really? Are we like little gifts tied with bows, ready to be unpacked on Christmas morning? Mike said.

"Someone will come looking for us in the morning." Emily also helps Samantha convince Mike.

"Are you sure?" Mike looked at Emily.

"yes, it should be." Emily said.

"Your tone doesn't sound so sure," said Michael, "and as I said, we've got to find a way out, and preferably get out of here and go down the mountain." ”

"But the locks at the cable car station are all closed, and we don't have the keys." Ashley said.

"The key... Joshua certainly did. By the way, what about Joshua? Isn't he in the basement? That's when Mike remembered Joshua.

Samantha said regretfully, "He also went out to look for you, he was afraid that the uncle would harm you, and before you came back, he went out." ”

Emily sat on the table with a book in her hand, which she picked up casually and looked at, "What is this?" It seems to be a diary, why is Hannah written here? Hannah's diary? ”

"Emily, what did you find?" Samantha asked.

"Nothing, just Hannah's diary, I don't know why it's here," Emily rummaged through the other things on the table, "There's a map here, it's... The map of the whole mountain, even the pit is marked. ”

Everyone else walked over, and Mike took the map and looked at it, "I've been to this mine too." ”

"The pit? What exactly is a pit? Samantha asked.

"Haven't you heard that legend? Around the 1950s, there was a pit collapse here, and the miners were trapped underneath. Some survived, and I remember probably ha... Fifteen people did not escape. There was a reporter at the time, who seemed to find out that someone was covering up the facts on a large scale, and then revealed it in the newspaper.

I chased Wendigo who had taken Jessica to the mine, and I found some plans inside, which showed that they knew there was a big problem in the mine, but let the miners continue to work.

Moreover, I also found something suspicious in the nursing home, it was a chair with dried blood stains on it, like someone was sitting on it and being abused..."

"Mike," Emily interrupted Mike, "I think we should be more focused on how to get out of this damn place, okay?" ”

"I'm just saying, it's really weird that so many crazy things have happened on this mountain." Mike said.

Emily pointed to the map and said, "Do you know what's really weird?" Look here, there's a tunnel between the lodge and the sanatorium, see? ”

Mike looked at the map and said, "That's where I came back." ”

Emily pointed to a piece of the map and said, "I saw this when I was down there, and this is their nest. (To be continued.) )
