Chapter 305: Surviving the Dawn: Stage 1 (Reincarnation)
Because of the characteristics of the Wendigo, the player is almost one-sided when facing the Wendigo, and even the energy card with great damage will not be able to use it due to the restriction of not being able to kill the Wendigo. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
And when the player faces the player, this disadvantage does not exist.
The five hostile players, who don't know what the system used to select them, have a high chance of being random, because they don't feel like they're anything special.
Tang Tu's side left seven players behind to deal with the five players, mainly to hold them back and buy time for Samantha and the other players to escape back to the villa.
The real danger comes from those Wendigo hiding in the forest, how many there are, Tang Tu didn't have time to count, he only knew that he blessed himself, and then ran forward with Samantha on his back, running non-stop, not caring about the players behind who died to protect them.
Yes, Samansha ran too slowly, and the buff energy card couldn't be used on her, Tang Tu came up with this method and ran with Samansha on her back.
The villa finally appeared in front, and there were only a few players left who followed Tang Tu.
The door of the villa was locked, Tang Tu put down Samantha, and launched the unlocking skill, this time the door lock was not frozen, it was opened smoothly, and everyone rushed into the house.
Everyone was standing by the door and looking out, hoping that someone else would come running... After a while, sure enough, a figure ran towards this side, the figure was getting closer and clearer, it was actually Mike, he was not dead.
Samantha immediately opened the door and shouted, "Mike, hurry up, come in!" ”
This Mike is really fateful, and he didn't die after such a toss... The players don't really want to be in the same room with Mike, but now it's impossible to kick him out, so they have to put up with it for the time being.
"You look so miserable." Samantha looked at Mike.
"If we stay outside, it gets worse. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gone to the mines, but I'm glad you didn't..."Mike muttered, looking a little panicked.
"What happened?" Samantha asked subconsciously.
Mike smiled wryly, "I met Joshua, and sure enough, he was caught there, and there was a Wendigo there, it was different from the other Wendigos, it seemed to be more powerful, it killed Joshua, and cut off his head..."
"Oh my God," Samantha sat down on the couch clutching her chest, "what a tragic death..."
A moment of calm came, and Mike and Samantha sat on the couch in distraction, with a few players standing beside them and a few standing in the doorway staring outside.
Tang Tu took out the "Hannah's Diary" and looked at it, he always felt strange, judging from the content of this diary, it should have been written by that uncle, but why is it related to Hannah, has Hannah really become Wendigo...
Sure enough, there is really an answer in the diary, and the second half of the diary is not written by the uncle, but by Hannah.
This diary is supposed to have been written when Hannah first became Wendigo, because she still had a relatively clear human memory at that time, so she wrote down her experiences.
The story begins on that unfortunate night, when Hannah runs out of the villa because she can't stand the taunts of her friends, and Beth chases after her. Under Beth's persuasion, Hannah calmed down, and the two planned to return to the villa.
However, the light of the fire suddenly appeared, and two figures ran out of the forest, and the person at the front was a monster that screamed and pounced on Hannah and Beth.
After being stunned, the Hannah sisters began to run, running for their lives... The blizzard obscured the road, and by the time they reacted, they had stepped into the cliff. Two girls fell off a cliff and died.
And the monster that was chasing them was also killed by the hunter, the hunter made a mistake, he shouldn't have killed this monster, death gave the monster a chance to be reborn.
The monster's soul is possessed by Hannah's corpse, and since this monster is the king of Wendigo, its soul is extremely powerful, causing Hannah to retain a little memory of her life after being resurrected.
However, Wendigo's instinct still dominates Hannah, who eats Beth's corpse and completely mutates into Wendigo.
For the past year, Hannah has been wandering in the mountains, her mind struggling with pain and confusion, and at the same time she has to hide from hunters, while Wendigo's nature slowly eats away at her memories and humanity.
There is no mention of this meeting in the diary, and it appears that the journal left Hannah before the meeting.
Tang Tu exhaled, and now the whole plot is understood.
The mountain hides a monster called Wendigo, and Uncle Hunter has kept them all in a sanatorium. Last winter, Uncle Hunter hunted down the Wendigo King and happened to meet the Hannah sisters.
Hannah and Beth accidentally fell off a cliff and died, and the soul of Wendigo, who was killed by Uncle Hunter, possessed Hannah, and Hannah became Wendigo from then on.
This year, Joshua brought his friends together, and he wanted to use a prank to get everyone to relax about last year's events, but it backfired, and instead he himself fell into a state of schizophrenia.
In this way, the psychiatrist who once appeared may have been one of Joshua's split personalities, but then he didn't show up. It may be that the player is not close enough to Joshua, or that the choice was not right, which caused the psychiatrist not to reappear.
In this incident, the NPC is attacked from two sources, one is Joshua's prank, and the other is Wendigo, led by Hannah.
Joshua's prank was a bit excessive, but it didn't hurt everyone. In the first few attacks, both the player and NPC were poison gased, which was not lethal at all, and the system constrained the player's movement and communication, all because the attacks were just Joshua's pranks.
And the attack from Wendigo is the real danger, and the first person to be attacked and killed by Wendigo is Jessica.
Because of the peculiarity of Wendigo, NPCs and players do not have an effective means to destroy Wendigo, so the missions released by the system are limited survival nature, not to destroy enemies or the like. This is the system that reduces the difficulty of the mission for the player.
Tang Tu finished reading the diary and glanced at his mobile phone, the time was already five o'clock, and the sky outside was already glowing with white light, and it was said that the task should have been completed, but the system prompt did not sound. This means that the conditions for completion have not yet been met, and it is likely that they will have to wait until the rescuers arrive.
At this moment, the light in the room flickered, and Tang Tu looked up at the roof, and suddenly gasped.
I saw two Wendigo entrenched on the roof, I don't know when they appeared, they probably ran in through the underground passage.
Yes, everyone had forgotten about the underpass, and it should have been blocked sooner, but it was too late to say this.
Tang Tu immediately sent a message on the mission channel to remind everyone, but Mike and Samantha had not yet discovered the problem, and the players did not dare to speak out for fear of alarming the two Wendigo.
After a while, Tang Tu frowned slightly, these two Wendigo seemed to have been observing, why didn't they attack? Soon Tang Tu's question was answered.
"Hiss" A strange sound came from the staircase on the second floor, which this time caught everyone's attention, including Samantha and Mike.
A Wendigo that was larger than the other two appeared, and its eyes were actually red, indicating that it was different from a normal Wendigo, and that it was probably the Wendigo King that Hannah had become.
Thinking of this, Tang Tu seemed to understand why the other two Wendigo had not attacked.
The situation is very strange, this Wendigo king seems to be warning the other two, and the three Wendigo have formed a situation of opposites.
Could it still be that Hannah's consciousness remains? Hannah wants to protect Mike and Samantha? Tang Tu didn't think so.
Don't forget, Mike said earlier that Joshua was killed by a very large Wendigo, and that was Hannah. Hannah killed her brother, which fully shows that she has no humanity.
As for the current situation, it is likely that it is only the instinct of the Wendigo King, who does not allow other Wendigo to get his hands on its prey.
Mike and Samantha soon spotted the other two Wendigos, and they screamed in horror as if they were trying to find a place to hide.
Tang Tu immediately reminded them, "Don't move, remember what it was written in the diary, Wendigo's eyesight is problematic, as long as we stay still, they can't see us." ”
Samantha immediately stopped, covering her mouth as if she wanted to suppress her breathing. And this time Mike finally obeyed, he hid behind the couch and didn't move.
The silence flickered, and the three Wendigo fought together, and the opportunity was just around the corner.
Tang Tu shouted, "Get out quickly!" He gave himself a blessing, ran over and grabbed Samantha, and then rushed out the door.
At this time, Van Gogh had already opened the door of the house, and at the same time took out his energy card and prepared to attack, and the other players did the same.
In the mission channel just now, the players have agreed that the remaining people must do their best to protect Samantha and Tang Tu, as long as the two of them survive, everyone's mission can still be completed.
Tang Tu knew that it was not necessarily safe outside, but at least it was safer outside than inside the house now, and they could only flee outside.
Tang Tu and Samansha rushed out of the villa, and the two of them didn't run far forward before they heard an explosion on the ground, and the villa was completely burned.
At the same time, the sun finally rose over the hill, and a helicopter flew in from a distance.
"Report to the main station, the villa below is on fire, and no survivors have been found for the time being."
Tang Tu and Samansha stopped, and the two of them shouted and waved.
"Report to the main station, found survivors, two survivors..."
Almost at the same time, Tang Tu sounded a system prompt in his ears, looked at the system panel, and sure enough, it was a prompt that the task was completed.
Tang Tu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The teleport countdown begins.
Tang Tu only had time to say "You're safe" to Samansha, and then he was teleported out of the mission scene.
The mission is over, and it is successfully completed. However, only 95 players completed the mission this time, and the other five players from the opposing side failed the mission.
Withdrawn from the task, Van Gogh went offline first, and Tang Tu went to the forum.
The forum was swiped again, and players said that this weekly mission was not fun and confusing.
Tang Tu also felt a little bit like this, always feeling that the player's sense of participation had become lower, and he was restricted in various ways, too passive.
However, there are also quite a few players who say it is interesting, and these players have made various deductions about the mission plot and made a lot of suggestions.
Tang Tu read most of the posts.
His question is that this is the first stage of the weekly mission, but in terms of plot, the whole plot is over, how to get the plot of the second stage and the finale?
Doubting this question, in the next two days, Tang Tu has been paying attention to everyone's analysis of the weekly task on the forum, and then ushered in the second phase of the weekly task on Thursday.
Still the same as before, at eight o'clock in ten minutes, Van Gogh went online, Tang Tu and Van Gogh teamed up, and the two of them chatted a few words.
Tang Tu: "I haven't seen you online in the past two days, what are you busy with?" ”
Van Gogh: "It's still an art exhibition, and the closer you get to the date, the busier it gets. It's like this every time, and things that were originally arranged always change. By the way, you're definitely coming, right? ”
Tang Tu: "Of course, get ready to welcome this king." ”
At eight o'clock, the mission begins, and the same process as last time, and the player is teleported into the mission scene.
After the white light disappeared, Tang Tu was stunned.
It's the same office as the first stage, it's still the psychiatrist, talking the same things, doing the same multiple-choice questions...
The rest of the plot is still the same.
In the same car, the TV is playing the same news as in the first stage, and the girl sitting in front of Tang Tu is still Samantha, and the only change is that the player has changed. Oh no, Tang Tu and Van Gogh haven't changed.
"What's going on? Repeat the last task? ”
The players in the car are aware of this and are talking about it.
Tang Tu thought for a while and said, "I probably know what the system is going to do..."
"What do you think?" Van Gogh asked.
"Remember the mission requirements for the first stage?"
"Live an NPC and a player? Do you think the system is going to make a fuss about this? ”
"It's exactly the same plot, and that's where it can be changed. Last time, NPCs and players only needed to survive one each, but this time they may have to survive half of them, and the finale will have to survive all of them. ”
"There is some truth to your guess, but this kind of request is okay for NPCs, and it is impossible to ask all players to survive. Speaking of which, although I've already done this quest once, it was so difficult to complete it last time, and I'm still very unconfident this time, what can I do to keep half of the NPCs alive? ”
"The quest hasn't been released yet, and this time is for players to interact with NPCs and earn favorability." This is a deference from other forums.
Speaking of brushing favorability, Tang Tu brushed Samantha's favorability last time, and this time of course it was her. (To be continued.) )
