CHAPTER XXXIV
"These infections are also too organized and disciplined..."
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xue Qiong and the four protagonists rested for a while, had breakfast and lunch, and when they returned to the battlefield again, they found that the crazy attack that had been going on for several hours suddenly stopped. To be precise, at the moment when the five of them climbed the wall, the zombie group that was originally fearless of death suddenly dispersed in a hurry...
"Tsuko, do you think these guys' rotten brains can still produce the emotion of 'fear'?"
“… I don't think so. Poison Island Tsuneko was also looking at the scattered zombie group, with a puzzled expression on her face.
"Actually, I even think..."Xue Qiong looked outside and said, "They are not running away, but retreating..."
"Look...," Xue Qiong frowned, pointing in the direction facing here, "Although they moved in different directions at first, they have obviously begun to converge now... Gao Cheng, borrow me the telescope. ”
Xue Qiong picked up the binoculars and looked in that direction.
I saw that just at the limit distance that the firearm could maintain its power, the infected people gradually gathered into a dense mass again, and they also put some rough-skinned and thick-skinned guys in front of them in an orderly manner, such as the corpse brother who can be reborn after losing his head and some fat people. Agile infectors such as Lickers and HUNTER are hiding behind, and they have changed their usual habit of jumping up and down like monkeys, and they are all honestly lying on the ground...
As for some of the infected people who had already been injured, they were lying motionless and letting their kind gnaw them up little by little, and Xue Qiong could see that those who had devoured their own kind had obviously become a lot stronger...
And those most ordinary zombies are as unorganized and undisciplined as ever, wandering around as if no one is around.
"It's not good..."Xue Qiong handed the telescope back to Saya Takashihiro, "You can all take a look." ”
"How?" After the four of them observed the tight formation of the infected people, Xue Qiong asked out loud.
"Your guess during the meal has come true...", the last Poison Island Tsuneko lowered her binoculars, "They should have a commander..."
“… There are a few things that can be determined now. Xue Qiong lit a cigarette for herself, "One, there is no doubt about the existence of the commander, but I don't know what it is... Second, the commander can't control those ordinary zombies with too low intelligence, and it is estimated that the reason why these lowest-level infected people rushed over with them before was just attracted by the voices here and the planned drive of the high-level infected people. Three, it's on..."
Speaking of this, Xue Qiong picked up the binoculars again and glanced over there. The infected stood at a distance where the bullet had lost most of its lethality, silently facing this side. Even though most of them had lost their vision, Xue Qiong still felt the presence of the "gaze".
"It's provoking us..."
In the meantime...
"Dragon Wolf Boss!! That white-skinned guy is catching up again!! In a speeding van, a male newcomer shouted at the dragon wolf.
"his ancestors!!" The dragon wolf hammered the steering wheel hard.
Ever since he met these two guys two days ago, the dragon wolf and the six men under him have been hunted down... Although so far, only two newcomers have died, and they were directly killed in seconds when they met them on the first day, and the dragon wolf himself is still unharmed, but fear still lingers in the heart of the dragon wolf.
Because he can feel that the other person is just doing it to have more "fun"...
The only reason why they have survived until now is because it is a game of cat and mouse.
"Dragon Wolf Boss, Xiao Zhang, she's dying..."
Xiao Zhang is the female newcomer who has had a few dewy relationships with the dragon wolf, and she was bitten by a zombie before getting into the car...
"Bang!"
The dragon wolf grabbed the steering wheel with one hand, drew the pistol at his waist with the other, and fired a shot backwards without hesitation, right in the center of his eyebrows.
"Dragon, Dragon, Dragon... Dragon Wolf Boss... You... What are you doing...."
A male newcomer stammered as he wiped the blood that had splattered on his face.
"No... Didn't you say that the players couldn't attack each other..."
"Hmph, idiot!" The dragon wolf took out the team contract that was placed in the storage space, "It is clearly written, 1000 points will be deducted for attacking members of the same team..."
"But I didn't tell you..."The dragon wolf suddenly laughed, and the newcomers looked at his face in the rearview mirror, only feeling creepy.
"When the reincarnation kills the reincarnation, you can get half of the points on the slain, and..." With the dragon wolf's words, Xiao Zhang's beacon, the pompous diamond necklace around her neck, slowly turned into a streamer, most of it dissipated, and a small part was injected into the watch beacon on the dragon wolf's hand. Then there was a mess of food, water, a lot of gold and silver jewelry, and a small amount of weaponry, which fell from the void and scattered it on the ground.
"Fifty percent of the size of the storage space, and everything in the storage space..."
"This stupid woman was the first to save 5,000 points for the knife, so Lao Tzu can recover at least 1,500 points of loss by doing this... Got it, idiots!! ”
"Actually, even that damn, unruly, shit newcomer who hid the beacon..."Every time he said an adjective, the dragon wolf's tone became a little heavier, "I broke the worldview of this world, and it made the exit point rise to 10,000..."
"As long as Lao Tzu kills all of you now, you can also get out!!"
"Got it! Lao Tzu is now just protecting his property, for greater gain!! ”
"Lao Tzu sealed his strength, and came to this broken world where birds don't to brush points, but don't prepare for a bamboo basket to draw water!!"
"So, you pigs, do a good job of being a pig!!"
"The Corpse King, AlexMercer, James Heller, Elizabeth Greene, The Umbrella Company, Alice, and, the Black Plague... Diriggi. ”
Xue Qiong sat in her room, pondering over a piece of paper, the ashtray next to her was already full of cigarette butts.
The paper is full of the names of the world bosses and protagonists in other worlds that are known to have eroded this world, and there are also guys who may be the leaders of the infected...
After the infecteds withdrew, the five had no intention of staying on the wall anymore and went back to their houses. After Xue Qiong instructed him to only knock on his door when the situation changed, he locked himself in the room.
"Although the beacon says that there are five other story worlds that have encroached on this place, let's just follow the four I know."
"The three protagonists,Alice、Brother A、Brother J is still a guy in the good camp for the time being.,The original work didn't show the ability to control a large number of other infections.,Of course, the possibility of blackening caused by plot changes can't be ruled out.,But so far it's the least suspicious..."
"The rest... The Umbrella Company, Miss Green, the dried corpse that has been sleeping in the coffin for thousands of years, and our lovely boar classmates... If it's an umbrella company, there will definitely be a lot of big soldiers, and so far I haven't seen their sassy logo, in the original work, it's the world's largest multinational company, everything is sold, and playing with biochemical viruses is just a little research by others, which may basically be ruled out. ”
"Diriji... In this world where there should be no supernatural powers, can that powerful magical lifeform really exist? Even Kazan can only get a statue here..."
"Then the rest..."
On the scratch paper in front of Xue Qiong, one by one the names were crossed out, and in the end, only two remained.
"The Corpse King and... Elizabeth Greene, the corpse brother and the boss in the original world..."
Of course, Xue Qiong didn't know that the corpse king among the corpse brothers was still busy chasing the dragon wolf, so he could only exclude the possible commanders of the infected to this extent.
"But why do you have to command your men to storm here... It can't be such a boring and great reason as 'this is a fortress that must be conquered in order to destroy humanity'..."
"Could it be..."
Xue Qiong looked around in his room, a room in the castle of the Gao Cheng family to be exact.
"Looks like it's necessary to ask the owner here..."
Thinking of this, Xue Qiong crumpled the scratch paper, threw it into the trash, and then continued to close her eyes and meditate.
Now, there are several things that I don't understand.
First of all, it starts with what the beacon says, that this world has been eroded by five worlds. Now it can be concluded that in addition to the erosion of the world of Arad and Xue Qiong, at least the erosion of Resident Evil, the Torture Prototype and the Corpse Brother world is inextricably linked to the fact that he has been receiving plot change rewards from the protagonist. And then from this point, it can be considered that the "protagonist" itself is the most important part of the plot world, if the whole plot world is compared to the human body, then the protagonist is...
"Brain? Heart? Still not appropriate enough..."Xue Qiong continued to mutter, "Or is it not good to compare it to the human body?" ”
"Think differently... The world of the plot, as the name suggests, is that this world exists for the sake of the 'plot', or that it exists by the plot... When I change the plot, the 'world' that exists on the basis of the plot becomes unstable and changes little by little..."
"Judging from the teleportation of my purchases from 'space', as well as the teleportation of myself... It seems to have been emphasizing 'reasonableness', otherwise it can be put directly into my storage space when teleporting items, and when teleporting us reincarnators, it can also throw us directly into the street, without having to put so much effort into arranging any plot identity for us..."
"So, when I hand over an enchanted weapon from the world of Arad to the protagonist of Poison Island, the rationality of this world, and the entire 'space', will be challenged. And the only way to fix the rationality is to let this world 'be' have the curse of Kazan, and even the influence of the apostle Diriji..."
"As for the erosion of the other three biochemical worlds, it should be because after I modified the plot, the stability of this world has decreased, and the 'difficulty has increased' in my mission. It may be that 'Space' has decided that no matter how much the zombies in this world play, it won't be much more difficult..."
"Also, the fifth encroaches on the rest of the world... I haven't seen it until now, so it must be something from the dragon wolf's side. Damn it! When I got the hint that there were five worlds, I thought about it... There must be something in the dragon wolf's body that can make him affect his worldview even if he is not the protagonist of this world... Probably a weapon? ”
Xue Qiong re-lit a cigarette and then continued to think about the next thing.
"The third thing... When that large group of zombies came, I considered the reason for the inertia of the plot. But if you think about it, the beacon has clearly said that the plot inertia of this world has been canceled..."
"No, we still have to think differently..."Xue Qiong opened her eyes, looked at the sky outside the window, and said slowly: "Could it be that 'space' and these plot worlds are not subordinate to each other as I imagined, but independent of each other?" Could it be that the inertia of the plot that the beacon said was canceled, just to make me further dispel the idea of changing the plot and getting rewards? In fact, the plot inertia still exists, and after it basically loses its meaning to the reincarnators, this inertia is just..."
Xue Qiong pointed to the sky with a cigarette butt and asked mockingly, "It's just the dying struggle of this world?" ”
