Chapter 414: Cycle
"Phase 2 - [Exploration Mist] has been opened, please choose one of the following three 'Explore Opening' methods and execute it.
Different ways of exploring may lead to different outcomes.
But the final plot direction is also related to the decisions you make and the [Bad Omen Card] drawn."
1. [Walk Ground Exploration], but try your best to scavenge nearby available items. (Low risk, slow exploration, not easy to get out of the fog.) )
2. [Harbor River Exploration], go to the nearest port area, take a large yacht docked in the port, and try to escape the fog through the river. (High risk, faster to explore and easier to get out of the fog.) )
3. [Large Vehicle Exploration], explore through large buses, the noise of the car may attract some hunger, or monsters with a special perception of sound. (Medium risk, exploration speed is medium, driving on the right road is possible to get out of the fog.) )
"Three different ways...... The second option can basically be directly vetoed.
At the moment, I don't even have full control over the situation in the town, and trying to escape through the river area is simply looking for death.
Judging from the current bad omen, most of the terrifying life is related to the sea and water.
The huge lakes and rivers that surround the town are bound to be directly connected to the sea...... There must be quite a terrifying life form hidden in the river.
Once the yacht is damaged, it is basically only a matter of waiting for death.
Unless all basic cards are upgraded and can be opened permanently, summon Togu, Miss Chen Li, and Duo Ze Crow to help.
And I need to open the Faceless Head, otherwise it is impossible for me to survive in the river and sea environment.
As for walking, it seems a bit stupid, if you delay too long, the fog will become more dangerous......"
Han Dong finally chose the third option.
In single-player mode, with Han Dong's selection.
The idea of escaping the fog through a bus is immediately implanted in the minds of important people, including the main character.
The supermarket manager proposed: "I remember that the primary school in the town was only one street away...... There should be a school bus at the school.
I've talked to school bus drivers before, and they generally leave their car keys on the bus due to the high level of security at school.
We were able to borrow a school bus and get out of the town area quickly. ”
"So...... Who's going to drive the bus? ”
Having been in the supermarket for a long time, everyone has a feeling of relying on a sealed space.
They don't want to walk into the fog alone, but they are willing to sit in a bus and explore the fog...... The question of who will drive the bus back is an important one.
Who knows......
Just when everyone drew lots to divide four people to drive the bus.
The school bus has reached the entrance of the supermarket, and the person driving the vehicle is Han Dong.
The primary school is less than 300 meters away from the supermarket, and the school bus stops at the door, so the whole process seems very relaxed.
"Hurry up and get in the car...... Also, I need an old driver to drive, and I'm not very good at driving. ”
Driving means that you need to take the risk of the whole car, and your own risk is also very high...... After all, the driver is in the front row.
Who knew that when it came to driving, someone would take the initiative to stand up.
A sixty-year-old man with white hair, but with good spirits.
"My name is Daniel. Paxton, who used to drive in the army...... He has 30 years of driving experience. I have been driving buses in big cities for a while, so I am relatively experienced. ”
The main character, David, patted the person on the shoulder, "Uncle Daniel, then please drive." ”
"How do we get there?
It's a direct on-the-road ride to get out of town and head to Portland (Maine's largest city and a coastal city).
Or take the trail behind and head inland? ”
The map expands.
If you're in the middle of the town, there are only two ways to get out of here.
The protagonist prefers to go to places with more people, "Let's take the big road...... Even the big cities are shrouded in fog, and there are definitely more survivors inside.
Perhaps the local military is searching for survivors, and the military's transport planes will be able to quickly get out of the fog. ”
At this time, Han Dong, who was sitting at the back, suddenly spoke.
"No...... We walked the mountain road.
The so-called "boundary" may be different from what we imagined, or it may be an area far away from the ocean, so it is more likely to belong to the boundary.
Now that we have observed various human mutations.
Large cities with higher population densities are likely to be more dangerous...... What's more, Portland is a coastal city, and the sea may be the source of the birth of the fog.
We will take the mountain road and go inland to have a chance of life. ”
Han Dong's 'influence' has been comprehensively improved with the resolution of the women's toilet hanging incident. In the eyes of the protagonist, this foul-mouthed writer has become an irreplaceable and important combat force.
"That'...... Just listen to Mr. Nicholas. ”
As the main character, David, agrees with the idea of walking the mountain road, the opinions of the other people in the car all become unanimous.
The initial ride went exceptionally well.
Occasionally, some flying insects will hit the windows of the car, but they will not stay long and will fly away quickly.
The reason is simple.
This cart of humans isn't their only food, there are other humans hiding in the town...... Moreover, different kinds of monsters will feed on each other.
Since this car is difficult for humans to deal with, the flying insects will not force it.
First, drive to the petrol station in the town, and get plenty of gas.
Immediately after that, he went to the police station to collect the gun.
However, the police station has long since become a worm nest.
With Han Dong's help, he barely got four ordinary pistols and was forced to withdraw by the constant gushing of strange insects......
Pistols are given to people who are trustworthy and have some basic firearms skills.
The evacuation plan for the school bus seems to be going well...... There were no critical situations along the way.
During the drive, some kind of giant monster with a height of more than ten meters directly stepped over the roof of the bus, but did not actively attack the school bus...... It seems to belong to a neutral monster in the fog, and maybe it's not interested in an iron sheet like a school bus.
When it was time for the school bus to carry everyone out of town safely.
The driver suddenly shouted, "Someone is waving on the side of the road...... Need to park? ”
In the fog full of monsters, it is almost impossible for anyone to survive alone, let alone stand on the side of the road and wave so calmly...... There is a great possibility that it is a deviant.
The whole car was unanimous and drove straight out of the town without stopping.
"Huh? This person...... Was it a dangerous person in the supermarket parking lot before? ”
Han Dong biased through the car window, and the beckoner seemed to have a pair of strange eyes that flashed with black light, and there was an indescribable sense of danger.
When the car was about to drive into the town, a thick fog suddenly enveloped the car, and it was temporarily impossible to see everything in the outside world. (Normal fog has a naked eye visibility of about 5~10 meters)
Five minutes later, the fog cleared.
A familiar supermarket appeared in front of everyone...... It's like going around the town and coming back.
"What's going on!?"
Keep driving.
When I came to the exit of the town again half an hour later, the man in the black robe was still standing on the side of the road and waving...... Han Dong quietly observed with the little devil's eye this time, and he couldn't see through the black robe.
After ignoring this man once again and driving out of town.
The same situation arises.
The fog cleared, and the school bus returned to its starting point in front of the supermarket...... A sense of desperation struck.
