Chapter 259: The Caterpillar
Yin City, a high-rise rooftop.
A thin man in casual clothes was sitting on the stone steps on the edge of the rooftop, his legs hanging from the building, his chin was supported by his hands, his back was slightly bent, and his whole body swayed gently with the noisy night wind, as if he would fall down at any time.
He is one of the players who participated in this mission, named [Sacrificial Wine], Lv12, and one of the heads of the Epiphany Organization in Yin City.
Although he is named the person in charge, he rarely goes back to deal with related affairs - four and a half months ago, he was just an ordinary young man who had just graduated from college and was in despair because of the death of his family.
Mao Ziqiang, the head of the Chengnan region who was on the plane, was arrested by the Special Affairs Bureau on a high-altitude plane three minutes ago. Kong Fang, Yin's external liaison who received the news in advance and was about to run away by speedboat, was intercepted by officials at sea two minutes earlier. The four gathering places and seven underground strongholds within the Yin City area were all swept away by the Mobile Task Force one after another. ”
The person who spoke was not sacrificial wine, but a man's head placed next to him, "Yin City stronghold, it's over." ”
The talking head, named [Deacon], Lv12, is also a player and a member of Epiphany in this mission.
"The fall of the stronghold was originally planned, and it was just abandoning the pawn to protect the car."
Sacrificial wine said indifferently: "There has been such a big accident, and it would surprise me if the Mobile Task Force hadn't taken any action." ”
"Hey, hey." The deacon smirked, "They didn't interrogate anything, those people didn't know anything about the plan. By the time they found out the truth, it was estimated that the bishop had already unlocked the seal of the Demon Cave..."
Zheng –
A slender steel nail dug deep into the concrete floor in front of Deacon's lips, and the splatters of rubble struck Deacon in the face.
"Shut up."
The sacrificial wine still maintains a posture that may fall from a height at any time, and his eyes without any emotion quietly gaze at the bustling lights in the city, "There are ears in the wind, and you can do things with peace of mind." ”
“...”
The deacon licked his lips, and instead of retorting or getting angry, he closed his eyes and held his breath.
Suddenly, without any warning, a huge black sphere with a height of nearly a thousand meters suddenly appeared in the southwest of the city in the distance, which was extremely conspicuous.
"Found a team." The Lord opened his eyes suddenly, and the corners of his mouth grinned in a strange arc, "Or are you smart, guessing that my split body can also be counted as part of the player,
Hang my fragmented body on a drone, hang it high in the air, fly in different directions in the city, and use the mission briefing to detect the location of other players.
Alas, it's a pity that at the beginning of the mission, we were too far away from the position of the locator, and we must not have had time to rush over.
If we had a locator, we wouldn't have to go so hard...."
Zheng –
Several steel nails were chiseled around the deacon's head, encircling him, interrupting his speech.
The indifferent sacrificial wine slowly stood up, and in the midst of the deacon's protest, he pulled his head by the hair, and rushed in the direction of the black sphere, galloping away on the roof of the tall building.
————
On the other side of the city, Ash drove his companions and galloped in the direction of the locator.
"Found it."
Hatsuki, who sat in the back seat of the vehicle, stared intently at the computer screen.
She used Skynet to quickly lock on to the surveillance cameras around the area where the locator was located, and shouted to the ashes in front of her: "The locator is in the corridor on the fifth floor of the inpatient building of the rehabilitation hospital!" ”
On the computer screen of the first shade, a bright silver sleek round metal mirror floats silently in the middle of the corridor.
Patients, family members and medical staff of the rehabilitation hospital walked through the corridors, but no one noticed the mirror.
"Ordinary people can't see the locator props," Hatsuyin said with a sigh of relief, "No player has found it yet, so we guess we'll be the first to arrive." ”
"Understood."
Ash slammed on the gas pedal, and the vehicle drifted around the intersection into the street where the rehabilitation hospital was located.
In the next second, everything changes color.
Sitting in the driver's seat, the ashes were stunned to find that the surrounding scenery had all faded color,
Streets, pedestrians, vehicles, buildings, plants, sky,
Everything has become a monotonous off-white.
In a daze, the vehicle he was driving hit an ordinary van on the left, smashing part of the front of the van, and the metal parts flew out and fell behind the road.
However, the gray-and-white ordinary person driving the vehicle, as if nothing had happened, still calmly held the steering wheel.
The van he was driving also healed quickly after separating from the ash vehicle - the metal parts that had fallen behind flew at great speed, like quicksand, and clinged to the hollow of the front of the car, making the van heal as before.
'This is.... The isolation technique mentioned in the mission briefing? ’
Ash's complexion changed suddenly, and the appearance of the isolation spell meant that the other players were already within 1000 meters of him.
And by moving in the direction of the orb, the other player is constantly closing the distance to him.
"It's an ambush!"
At the same time, in the surveillance footage of the hospital corridor observed by Hatsuyin, a huge dark green lepidopteran insect larva (caterpillar) covered with dense spikes slowly crawled out of the blind spot.
It was the size of a normal person, and the front half of its body was raised high like a snake, wriggling forward.
Hatsuyin's pupils dilated suddenly, and she could clearly see that at the end of the caterpillar's fat body, there was a watch that was exactly the same as the one on her wrist.
It's a gamer....
The ordinary people in the hallway were not surprised by the caterpillar's appearance in the slightest, and continued to do their thing, ignoring its slow approach to the bright silver mirror, and plucking the mirror from mid-air.
On the Hatsuki watch, the golden prismatic symbol symbolizing the locator disappeared instantly, and the next second the system prompt sounded in the ears of all players.
[Special item Moon Phase Locator, obtained by the player Grunt]
"That's an insect player!" Hatsuyoshi shouted, "We are now about 1,500 meters away from the hospital, and this isolation technique is not caused by bugs, but by his teammates!" ”
One step at a time, one step at a time, Ash had already increased the speed of the vehicle as much as possible, but it was still a little late, not only did he not get the special item, but he also fell into a passive situation of getting too close to the enemy team.
However, he is still a member of the Mobile Task Force after all.
After discovering that the special item had already been accessed by another player, and that the player was a non-human insect, he immediately made a decision.
Destroy the insect along with its rushing teammates.
