Chapter 529: Darkness Strikes
"An ongoing reality mission has been detected."
At 3:55 a.m., a voice suddenly sounded in Gu Bin's brain, and he immediately woke up after being in a daze, and his hands were retracted in the direction of his body at the same time as a conditioned reflex.
There was no tugging sensation on my wrist.
He was surrounded by absolute darkness, it was real that he couldn't see his fingers, he couldn't see what was going on left and right, but death was certain that the rope around his wrist was gone, and he had lost his touch to it.
So he moved his shoulders again, and his heart was a little calmer.
He could still feel the pressure from the strap of the backpack, and it seemed that the backpack was still there.
Gu Bin didn't open his mouth to call the names of Liang Chuansheng and the others, which must have no effect, because if the shouting was useful, Liang Chuansheng's voice would have drifted over a long time ago.
"Miles?"
Gu Bin chose to call out Miles's consciousness in his heart.
"I'm here."
Unexpectedly, Miles gave his own response almost immediately, as if he had been waiting there for a long time, and his tone was actually different from the previous indifference and calmness, when his consciousness entered Gu Bin's brain, there was actually a sense of fear.
"Don't move, especially don't talk to that friend of yours." , Miles said quickly.
"What?"
"There's someone behind you!"
Gu Bin chuckled in his heart, out of instinct, he really wanted to throw such a skill behind his back to distinguish the authenticity.
"Are you sure, man?" , Gu Bin licked his lips and asked Miles in his heart.
"Miles? Miles? Depend on! ”
The other party's voice suddenly disappeared, Gu Bin couldn't hear any sound, couldn't communicate with anyone, couldn't see anything, and had no way to confirm the truth of what Miles said.
Taking two deep breaths and forcing the rate of his heartbeat down, he began to count his pulse.
Time passed minute by minute, and when Gu Bin counted to 308, a bright fire suddenly appeared in front of him, this fire was so real, Gu Bin could even feel the heat coming from it.
Three figures with different silhouettes appeared in three directions of the fire, and with themselves, the four of them happened to enclose the entire campfire.
"Loading reality copies."
"The current quest attribute is: Underworld."
"The current number of participants in the quest is: 5."
When the familiar system sounded, Gu Bin also lost the ability to control his body, he couldn't even control his gaze, he could only stand up to the fire and listen to useful information from the notifications that rushed out of his brain.
"The number of participants is 5?" , Gu Bin was surprised in his heart, but then he understood that the extra person was probably the butcher who was responsible for "hunting" them.
"The main objectives of the reality mission are: 1. Escape from the closed area, 2. Crack the worldview."
"Note: All participants will be marked with a soul seal, and until all objectives are achieved, the mission will not be able to end until the soul value is completely drained."
"You've acquired the generic information skill 'Basic Maintenance.'"
"The preparation phase is over, and the 10-second countdown begins."
Before Gu Bin could carefully dig into the information in these system prompts, an extremely eye-catching countdown had already appeared in front of his eyes, and the number appeared directly from the bonfire, and the flames twisted into strangely shaped fire snakes on their own as if they had come to life.
And when the flame completely returned to a thin line, the ten-second countdown also ended, and the slender flame dissipated, and the thick darkness once again enveloped Gu Bin's vision.
……
This time the darkness did not last long, and soon, Gu Bin regained control of his body in the darkness, and at the same time, the dark curtain moved away from him like flowing water, allowing him to see the things around him clearly.
There were a lot of building materials piled up around him, and the moonlight in the sky was falling, not too bright, but at least it could serve as some illumination.
"Started?"
He said a silent sentence, and then quickly leaned his body against the pile of building materials next to him.
First, he reached behind his back, but immediately touched the backpack.
This made Gu Bin breathe a sigh of relief, so he gently tapped twice on the bottom of the backpack, and soon, two taps of the same frequency came from the same place.
After confirming Zhao Yan's situation, Gu Bin's heart was a little relieved, he looked around, and found no other movement, so he raised his hand and began to call for the ability to activate the essence with ease.
Unhindered or restricted in any way, these living elements quickly took shape under Gu Bin's guidance and condensed into black crows.
Despite his ability to see at night, he still had to rely on these bird scouts made of living elements, and if they could capture the location of everyone in the enclosed area, the reality mission would be much easier.
"Go!"
These black birds flew high into the air under Gu Bin's orders and scattered in different directions.
However, at this moment, an unexpected situation happened, and a loud crow cry suddenly sounded in the sky, and the noisy and ugly sound was extremely harsh in the dark night, and then, those living crows associated with Gu Bin's consciousness sent signals that they were attacked, and it was actually another group of crows that attacked them!
In other words, these "fake and shoddy" products summoned by Gu Bin were actually beaten by genuine birds here!
If it was really just a group fight, these flat-haired beasts were still making extremely penetrating and extremely loud noises while driving away the living crows that attacked Gu Bin, which was almost like holding a loudspeaker to tell the world that there were people in this place.
With a sudden flick of his hand to dissolve all the living crows, Gu Bin turned sideways and drilled through the cracks in the pile of building materials, and chose a direction to leave quickly.
And when Gu Bin left the pile of building materials for less than 3 minutes, a burly and tall figure stepped on the weeds all over the ground to the place where he had been, his breathing was extremely heavy, the thick throat seemed to be leaking, and the sound of air flow came from behind the rough white mask.
"Hoo ......"
He turned his head, and a dark, bloodthirsty gaze shot out from behind the mask's eyehole, which circled around and finally landed on the haystack next to a pile of building materials.
If Gu Bin was still here, he would definitely find that the other party was focusing on the corner where he had been hiding before.
After a few seconds, the figure chose a direction and walked away with great strides, the machete in his hand accidentally touching a wooden plank, but it left a terrible scar on it like a soldering iron on ice.
Gu Bin naturally didn't know that he had just been caught, at this time he was cautiously exploring in this half-familiar and half-strange place, as early as when he asked Liang Chuansheng, the other party described the strange place he had been to at night, according to him, this closed place has a certain resemblance to S University, but it is completely different, at this moment, Gu Bin understood Liang Chuansheng's meaning.
To be precise, this place should be a small part of the university that he is familiar with, but now the surrounding scene feels like a ruin after some kind of disaster.
Gu Bin can see a lot of building ruins, some dilapidated houses have been rebuilt on the basis of these ruins, and under his feet, Gu Bin can still see the traces of the cement floor, but these originally smooth cement roads have been uneven, covered with cracks, and a large number of weeds are stretched in these fine cracks, making this dilapidated environment even more decadent.
"Could it be that someone has plowed the ground here with a missile?" Gu Bin thought, while carefully pinching his fingers, several killing crows took shape around him again, but this time, he did not let these birds rise into the air, but disbanded all but one of them as quickly as possible.
The remaining living crow was held in Gu Bin's hand, quietly acting as his second pair of eyes.
Luckily, this time it didn't catch the attention of those real crow flocks again.
After confirming that no one was chasing after him, Gu Bin found a ruined wall and shrunk it, and opened his inventory instead.
"Huh?"
To his surprise, the props in the inventory that should have been available at will in the dungeon were still locked at this time, and this time, except for some medical items, even the firearms were locked, as for before entering the reality dungeon, Gu Bin's grenade tied to his waist and the rifle in his arms were lost when darkness fell, just like this, Gu Bin was sure that this was the limitation of the reality dungeon itself, in this case, not to mention the crotch of the crotch hidden mine, even if the grenade was swallowed, it was useless.
But fortunately, his own attributes and skills seem to have completely escaped from this restriction, which gives Gu Bin a lot of confidence.
"From where I am, I think it's at the southwest of the whole area, and I'm at the end of the direction I'm facing right now...... It should be the edge of the army's station, and it won't take too long to sprint from here to there. After making a rough judgment, Gu Bin straightened up and began to touch in the other direction.
In that direction, Gu Bin saw a faint electric light, very faint, like a firefly about to be extinguished.
And after Gu Bin walked more than ten meters, his eyes lit up, and in that faint light, he saw a machine waiting there quietly!
It was an old-fashioned generator, and at the same time as I saw it, the basic repair skills that had been previously poured into my brain took effect almost immediately.
He cautiously touched the side of the generator, but did not immediately begin the repair work.
Gu Bin gently spread his palm, and the green fluorescence came out from between his fingers, and then quickly burrowed into the old machine.
