Chapter Twenty-Seven: Tales of the Night
When Duan Mo opened his eyes, there was still darkness in front of him.
"Huh? What's going on? Haven't the game started yet? β
After a while, his eyes finally adjusted to the darkness around him, and he slowly saw the situation clearly.
It was pitch black in the quality square, the bright moon on the head was incomparably huge, and the signal tower in the distance was faintly lit, revealing a glimmer of light.
"Team Two: Night Mode."
The system's cold prompt sounded, and a prompt immediately popped up in front of Duan Mo's eyes.
"Night Mode: Players bring their own prop flashlights, which can be used for three hours to steal other players' flashlights. Every once in a while, transport planes will light up the island for a minute. A new item has appeared in the drop material: flares. β
"New mode?" Duan Mo was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned his head to find Chun Xia. By the moonlight, Duan Mo could barely see about five meters, and farther away it was completely pitch black.
Chun Xia was not far from him, he groped for the dark and gently patted Jun Natsu on the shoulder.
"I didn't expect to encounter a new model as soon as I came up...... It looks like it's hard. Duan Mo spoke first.
Chun Xia snorted, "It's because I'm teaming up with you men that I'm so unlucky." β
"Huh? Is this also my pot? Duan Mo was speechless, "By the way, what are you good at?" Close quarters? Long-range sniping? Or is it a scout? β
"They're all good at it."
"It's really fake!" Duan Mo looked at Chun Xia again, not quite convinced.
"Don't worry about it. You can just protect yourself, I'll say first, if you get knocked down, I won't save you. β
"Uh...... Good. β
"So, don't hold me back, if it weren't for my mentally retarded brother who insisted that I take you, I'd rather finish the game by myself."
"......" Duan Mo supported his forehead, and the communication between the two could no longer continue.
Thankfully, the game started quickly, and a team of fifty tandems quickly got into the plane and prepared to skydive.
"Junxia, where should we land from?" Duan Mo thought to himself, no matter how much you don't want to talk to me, everyone has to discuss the landing location, right? However, Junxia's performance was really beyond his expectations.
"I'm going to P City. You feel free. Junxia glanced at the map, unbuckled his seat belt and stood up.
"Huh? Don't be so rigid, right? It's easy for P-City to break out into encounters! Duan Mo was taken aback, and reached out to stop Chun Xia, but he was fixed on the seat by the seat belt and couldn't move.
"Hmph, coward. I'm the one known as the Overlord of P City! Chun Xia's eyes widened, "P City starts, hits three people to death on the ground, and I won't enter the safe zone if I don't kill twenty people in five minutes!" I'm telling you, this game doesn't have any rifles, snipers, guns, only trolls! Trolls, you know?! Pick up two trolls and do it when you see someone! Got it! β
"......" Duan Mo seemed to understand why Chunxia's eldest brother died-is it possible that the Japanese are so bold in playing games?
The others in the cabin were attracted by Junxia's imposing speech, staring straight at the two of them, their faces full of wariness. And Duan Mo was stunned, the plane had already crossed over P City, and Chun Xia had already jumped out of the cabin while Duan Mo was not paying attention.
"Holy! Do you really want to go to the city? Duan Mo scolded, unbuckled his seat belt, and hurriedly followed.
The moment he stood in front of the cabin door, Duan Mo couldn't help but sigh - the moon is so big.
The huge moon occupies a small half of the sky, crystal clear and beautiful, and the surrounding sky is also reflected in a pale blue.
"I'm afraid you can only see this kind of beauty in the game." Duan Mo muttered and jumped into the sky.
However, due to Duan Mo's slight delay, the plane had already moved away from P City, so although he was swaying and trying his best to get closer to Chun Xia, he was still far away when he touched the ground.
Duan Mo looked around, there was a wilderness, there was no cover, if he ran into the city like this, it would be tantamount to running naked......
After thinking for a moment, Duan Mo ran towards a small courtyard not far away...... He decided to find some weapons to defend himself first, and then make peace with Junxia.
In the dark, Duan Mo really couldn't see the road ahead clearly, until he hit the tree for the fourth time, he suddenly remembered that there was a new prop in his backpack - a flashlight.
So Duan Mo hurriedly took out a flashlight - this was the most commonly used style in the countryside ten years ago - clumsy and huge like an eggplant, strong and durable, and could even be used to hit people, long enough battery life, long enough lighting ability.
Immediately, the eyes lit up, and the light dispelled a large area of darkness and illuminated the way ahead.
And the moment he turned on the flashlight, Duan Mo immediately realized a problem - using the flashlight would definitely expose the player's location!
The light of the flashlight is extremely penetrating, which can illuminate the distance of more than ten meters in front of it, and in the dark, this pillar of light is obviously like a white line on a blackboard, even if it is a few hundred meters apart, it can be easily found!
Duan Mo hesitated again and again, and finally decided to turn off the flashlight.
In this mode, darkness isn't the scariest, scariest thing β it's light!
Duan Mo trotted all the way, touched into a small courtyard, and struggled to find a weapon in the dark, the P92 pistol, and turned around and ran in the direction of Chunxia.
On the outskirts of P City are large wheat fields, plump wheat hanging its head and swaying slightly in the night breeze. Duan Mo looked at the large number of houses in the distance, and felt a little panicked in his heart.
There was a faint sound of gunfire, the light of which occasionally lit up a sky.
"Junxia, how are you there?" Duan Mo was getting closer and closer to the construction area, and he crawled in the wheat field, lowered his voice, and said into the headphones.
"It's safe, there are no enemies." Chun Xia's tone was a little mocking, as if he was despising Duan Mo's timidity.
Duan Mo was a little suspicious, but the night was solemn and thick, and Duan Mo could only barely see the outline of the house in the distance, and he couldn't tell if there was an enemy at all.
"Yes......" Duan Mo thought in silence, squirming forward a little bit.
"Well, resources are also abundant." Junxia replied, "I found a lot of equipment. β
"Wait, you're not going to turn on the flashlight, are you?!" Duan Mo felt that a certain string in his heart instantly tightened.
There was a clear, bolt-on-gun sound coming from the other side of the headset. After a long time, Chun Xia replied slowly, "Of course." Otherwise, I won't see anything, how can I find a weapon? β
"Shut it down!"
"Huh? Why? Junxia asked.
But she immediately understood whyβshe was on the second-floor balcony of a small two-story building, and in the darkness, a long gun barrel was sticking out from behind her!
"Boom!"
The gunfire of S868 sounded comparable to the sound of artillery at close range, and Jun Xia had no doubt that he was shot and fell to the ground!
"Hold on, don't panic!" When the gunshot rang out, Duan Mo immediately bounced off the ground and went straight to Chun Xia's position, and at the same time raised P92 and shot at Chun Xia's position again and again!
Although Duan Mo hadn't even seen the enemy, the sound of the gunfire would definitely deter the enemy, making the enemy not dare to replenish the gun against the fallen Chun Xia!
And Jun Xia made a move with all her strength a second before she fell to the ground - jumped on the railing of the balcony - this action really saved her life, causing her to fall directly into the courtyard outside after being shot, and the enemy in the dark did not choose to risk leaving the house after hearing Duan Mo's gunshot not far away, and completely killed Jun Xia who fell outside, but hid in the dark.
Duan Mo ran wildly for a hundred meters in the dark, stumbling on the way, and couldn't see the road at all. At this moment, he leaned against the wall of the small building, listening carefully to the movement in the room.
"Chun Xia," Duan Mo lowered his voice, "Do you see the enemy?" β
"No, no!" Junxia was obviously startled by the sudden appearance of the enemy in the darkness, and her voice was still trembling at the moment. She fell to her knees and crawled towards Duan Mo tremblingly.
"Stay close to me a little bit, and I'll cover you." Duan Mo couldn't wait for his eyes to turn into a pair of night vision devices - the rows of small buildings in front of him were in the dark, like terrifying beasts!
The enemy must be hiding in a corner somewhere......
His eyes had lost their function, and the sound of rustling in his ears strained Duan Mo's nerves, for fear of missing any footsteps.
"That man with a shotgun, sneak up on me from behind, get me up, I want revenge!" Chun Xia said resentfully as she crawled towards Duan Mo.
"Shut up!" Duan Mo scolded irritably, he didn't want to die as soon as he landed!
Chun Xia was choked up, and she was very unhappy in her heart, but now that the situation was urgent, only Duan Mo could save her, so she could only endure this evil breath.
There also seems to be an exchange of fire on the other side of the city, with gunfire blaring incessantly.
Suddenly, Duan Mo heard it!
There was a faint sound of footsteps on the wooden floor of the house, and the enemy moved!
Duan Mo took a deep breath and clenched the P92 pistol in his hand - compared to his own weapon, it was almost like the difference between a slingshot and a cannon.
There is only one chance, Duan Mo must blow up the enemy's dog head with one shot!
The sound of footsteps circled around the house a few times, and then slowly walked to the door.
"Squeak-"
The wooden door was gently pushed open.
A pitch-black figure walked over slowly.
Duan Mo's heart seemed to jump out, he clung to the wall, not daring to move at all, the enemy was getting closer and closer to him, it was already less than five meters!
The breeze in the air was still, and the whole world was as quiet as death.
Duan Mo's throat was dry and itchy, and sweat was slowly dripping down.
Five, Four, Three......
"What are you doing?! Come and save me! β
In the cold air, the sound of pure summer is like a thunderbolt!
