Chapter 5: First Encounter with the Snow Ape King
The sound of the mobile phone on the air woke Yu Zhao.
It's a bit cold.
This was Yu Zhao's first reaction, as well as the whirring wind.
As far as the eye could see, he was actually in a snowy field, and it seemed that it was a deserted place.
At this time, it was getting late, and the heavy snow was blowing one after another, blocking Yu Zhao's vision.
Then, a curtain of light popped up in front of his eyes.
"Rookie Streamer Mission: Kill the Snow Ape King. Difficulty: Unknown.
Side Mission 1: Annihilate the Snow Ape. Reward: Unknown.
The live stream begins. ”
It looks like the second live stream is going to add some new content from the premiere.
Before Yu Zhao could think more, a metallic synthesis voice came from front of him: "It's another dead secret hunter, Handsome Jack is really busy." ”
Yu Zhao could actually hear the tone of complaint from it? Is this artificial intelligence?
Not far away, a square-headed iron box was digging a pit with a shovel, and several corpses were lying around.
The costumes of these corpses look strange, not like the style that Yu Zhao has seen every day, and the location of this live broadcast may be on an alien planet.
Is this a real alien planet, or is it fictional?
Yu Zhao buried this question in his heart and carefully examined the corpse.
After the grenade incident in the hospital, Yu Zhao also has some resistance to the corpse, at least he can look at the corpse calmly, and he will not be nauseous anymore.
As if sensing Yu Zhao's presence, the iron box turned around, and then shouted in surprise: "Wait, are you still alive?" That's great! Little noisy, you can finally get out of this damn place. ”
As it spoke, it circled around Yu Zhao, and its two mechanical arms waved incessantly, as if celebrating its good fortune.
This iron box robot looks very simple, the main body is a slightly orange iron box, the lower limbs are a guide wheel, there are a lot of exposed lines on the two mechanical arms, and a dark green camera is probably its eyes.
It has no mouth, no display, and the smell of inferior products is revealed all over its body.
Yu Zhao looked at this small iron box in circles and had a headache, and its unobtrusive performance made him have an ominous premonition, "Who are you?" ”
The little iron box stopped in front of Yu Zhao, threw away the shovel, and proudly crossed his waist, "Let me introduce myself, I am a CL4P-TP butler robot, however, my friends all call me a little noisy." Although they are either dead or no longer exist. ”
Yu Zhao: "??? ”
"By the way, I'll give you one more thing." Xiao Noisy seemed to remember something, pulled the corpse next to him twice, took out a mobile phone-style machine, and handed it to Yu Zhao, "What's your name?" ”
"Yu Zhao." Yu Zhao replied, subconsciously taking over the machine, and the light curtain popped up.
"Unknown component access detected, only effective in this live broadcast, load related functions......"
Although it was said that the relevant functions were loaded, Yu Zhao did not feel any changes.
"It's great, the little noisy finally has a companion to fight against Handsome Jack."
Against Handsome Jack? But the goal of the mission is to kill the Snow Ape King...... Yu Zhao was thoughtful.
The little noise didn't give Yu Zhao much time to think, beckoned to Yu Zhao, and walked away in one direction, "Come with me, there is a temporary foothold nearby." Uh, that's ......" The cold wind washed away the rest of its words.
The snow is falling quite heavily, probably just beginning, and the snow on the ground is not very thick, so there is no surface of the feet, and it will not affect the running too much.
"What are those?" Yu Zhao caught up with the little noise and pointed to a huge metal bracket next to him and asked.
Xiao Noisy circled around the metal stand twice, and the mechanical arm symbolically touched his head, "You know, this is Pandora, there will always be some blind hidden hunters coming to try their luck, who knows what was here before, maybe it was the Snow Ape Observatory." ”
"Snow ape?"
"It's like a native creature of Pandora, always nesting like rats, you know, I'm most afraid of rats." The little noisy spun around a few times, "Let's go, my cozy little nest is still waiting for us, oh my god, this damn ice field." ”
The small nest in the mouth of the little noise was not far away, and Yu Zhao ran with the little noise for less than a few minutes, and saw a hill and a large amount of construction waste piled up in front of the door.
It's not so much a house as a dilapidated building on a snowy slope and leaning on a pile of construction debris. Perhaps it was because of the cold weather, and the ice and snow filled the gaps in between, supporting this dilapidated house.
"You know, this was originally a garbage dump, and Handsome Jack always liked to throw garbage around. I've got to put some security in place, those snow apes are natural trash pickers, and I don't want them to be caught as decorations. The little noise came to the door and shouted in a smug tone, "Open the door Sesame!" ”
Yu Zhao: "......" He suddenly felt that the small noisy action seemed to be very in line with the style of painting.
An inconspicuous probe protrudes from the doorway, which rotates slightly at an angle, as if locking onto the target, and then shoots a blue beam of light at the little noise, scanning it up and down.
With the sound of jerky gears turning, the door slowly opened.
Yu Zhao noticed that there were still a lot of frozen black and purple blood stains on the walls of the passage, and it seemed that there had been a fierce battle here before.
The little noise led the way, and said as he walked, "This was originally the residence of a group of scavengers, but unfortunately it was discovered by Handsome Jack's gang of bastard bandits not long ago, and then ......" It made a very humane shrug.
Surprisingly, there was a hole in this small nest, which looked inconspicuous on the ground, but in fact there was quite a lot of space underground, and it was not as dilapidated as Yu Zhao imagined.
Walking through the passageway, you will see a very large living room, and directly opposite the door is a huge fireplace, which is blazing with fireplace, providing precious heat to the hall.
I don't know if it was in disrepair or deliberately, a large skylight was opened directly above the fireplace, and the cold wind poured in along the skylight, and Yu Zhao looked up and could see the snow at the edge.
The hall is surrounded by a jumble of clutter and blurry posters and stickers.
In a sense, it is not easy for a group of garbage pickers to manage their accommodation like this.
Of course, as expected by Yu Zhao, there were still many corpses, as well as a large number of blood stains.
Yu Zhao glanced at it roughly, and his heart was slightly wider, similar to the corpses he had seen before, fortunately they were all humans, not a strange race.
"By the way, my dear henchman, if you need a weapon, look around, these guys are careless and may leave a weapon in a corner, like the last time I found a smelly sock in the toaster."
Yu Zhao: "??? "Shouldn't the point be why a robot flips over a toaster?
Xiao Noisy thought of something, took out a magazine from a box next to him, and handed it to Yu Zhao.
Yu Zhao took it, and in the next second, the magazine disappeared, but the number of pistol ammunition in the light curtain increased by 15 rounds.
Obviously, this should be the so-called component effect, at least it is much easier to carry ammunition.
Surprisingly, this ammunition can be used for the magic pistol, which is a surprise.
"Follower?"
"yes, aren't you my henchman? Guided by the wisest of the most savvy little noises, the henchmen will make their way through the frozen canyon ruled by the evil Snow Ape King to find the final refuge and join forces with the rebels against Handsome Jack. ”
"......" Yu Zhao expressed his indifference to Xiao Noise's words, but since Xiao Noise was obviously an important NPC, Yu Zhao didn't mind being called a follower.
There's nothing to lose by screaming a few more.
Xiao Noisy helped Yu Zhao collect supplies, and nagged, "We need to hurry up, there are a lot of snow apes roaming around this area, you know that they are like these dead scavengers here, they like to collect garbage the most, the scavengers have fought with them here before, I suspect they will be coming soon." We're going to ......"
"Stop." Yu Zhao interrupted the small arguing words.
"What's wrong, squire?"
"If you say that, the enemy will usually come soon."
"Hahaha, huh? But don't be afraid, follower, know that in front of you is the last CL4P-TP butler robot in the world, and there is no enemy it can't defeat. The little noise was stuck in his waist and moved back and forth in front of Yu Zhao.
Yu Zhao expressed doubts about the combat effectiveness of this iron box, which was only more than half a person high, with bare lines and rusty shells, these are clearly the characteristics of cannon fodder.
What's more, how much combat power can a housekeeper robot have?
At this moment, the rock wall overhead suddenly trembled, and a lot of snow powder fell in a pour, and faintly, the wind sent a roaring sound.
Yu Zhao turned his head and glanced at Xiao Noisy, but he hadn't spoken yet, only to see that Little Noisy was lying on the ground with a simple "clang", stopped running, and entered sleep mode.
Combined with its tattered appearance, it looks like a scrapped robot at first glance.
Yu Zhao: "??? Although he was mentally prepared, Xiao Noisy's skillful operation also made Yu Zhao realize how it managed to escape the bandits' attack.
But it is impossible for him to learn to pretend to be dead in a small noise, the difference between the living and the dead in the ice and snow environment is too great.
He looked around, but he couldn't find a good position for a while, so he could only find an inconspicuous little corner nearby and watch the changes.
Less than a minute later, with a majestic and rough roar, the blue-and-white Snow Ape King jumped down from the skylight of his nest, the earth shook a little, and Yu Zhao's heart also trembled.
This Snow Ape King is nearly 2 meters tall by sight, a bit like a silverback gorilla, and looks like a white wall. It's just that, compared to the orangutan that Yu Zhao knew, it had an extra pair of arms under its ribs. Yu Zhao silently estimated that this arm alone was close to the thickness of an adult's waist.
...... kill the Snow Ape King?
Yu Zhao thought that the only weapon he had at the moment was the small pistol that Xiaofeng had given him, and he was speechless.
Astound! The rookie anchor singled out the Snow Ape King, and the equipment turned out to be it?
Why did Yu Zhao see at a glance that this was the Snow Ape King, it was because although the younger brothers who followed also had four arms, they were generally the size of adults, and even one of them looked like they were still minors, with only a pair of arms, relatively thin, only half a person tall.
Comparing the results, just this body type is placed here, which is enough to deter.
However, for Yu Zhao, holding a small pistol, it doesn't matter whether this big guy is the Snow Ape King or not, anyway, against such a big guy, a small pistol is a toy gun anyway.
As Little Noise said, these snow apes are born to pick up garbage, and after entering the nest, they can't wait to look around, looking like they are looking for something.
After observing for a few minutes, Yu Zhao noticed that they did not seem to be looking for food, and one of the snow apes found a broken glass and waved it and screamed excitedly.
The Snow Ape King just glanced at it, as if the couch at his feet was hindering its movement, and he picked up the couch lightly and threw it out of the skylight.
Yu Zhao's eyelids, who were secretly observing, jumped.
Then, he found a problem, and the snow apes were searching for him!
If nothing else, it may be discovered by this group of snow apes in a few minutes.
What made Yu Zhao's cardiac arrest even more was that the Snow Ape King seemed to see a small noise lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and was striding over!
Yu Zhao couldn't guarantee that the Snow Ape King wouldn't find him.
As for the results of his discovery...... Anyway, Yu Zhao didn't think that this Snow Ape King would say hi to himself.
Less than an hour after the start of the game, Yu Zhao found himself standing on the edge of the cliff.
What to do?
