Time70. Screening & Targeting (Part II)
Half an hour ago, Xiang Mayi was still thinking about whether to ask Fischer to help recharge, and unconsciously followed the latter's footsteps to a new area that he had never been to before, where there was a rocky area that was completely inconsistent with the forest landscape.
"Oh?! There are animal bones in this rock! Xiang Ma Yi's eyes saw the special lines in the rock, and he quickly rushed over and looked at it carefully.
Biology, his specialty. Hua Xiaoman and Fischer both glanced at him. Hua Xiaoman spoke: "Is it a fossil?" Is it archaeologically valuable? ”
"If this is the real world, there must be, but ......" Xiang Mayi shrugged, and the excitement just now was diluted a lot.
Fischer also glanced at the rocks and didn't pay any more attention, and said, "There seems to be a village ahead. ”
It means, "Let's hurry." ”
After half an hour of climbing over the mountains, the scene of Reed in the village shocked the three of them.
It's Central, but the village looks like it's been looted by the apocalypse. The ground was littered with corpses, and the scene was even more horrific than a slaughterhouse.
"Has the end come?" Xiang Mayi walked quickly to Hua Xiaoman's side.
Hua Xiaoman looked around and didn't answer, but immediately entered the state of alert.
Fischer, on the basis of his terrifying insight, said something somewhat reassuring: "All NPCs or players who die in this simulated world will disappear." ”
So, since those corpses didn't disappear as points of light, it means that this is a setting scene, not an acquired scene.
Although Xiang Mayi breathed a sigh of relief, he still had an ominous premonition that told his nerves, it was too early to rest assured.
"Let's explore it first." Hua Xiaoman saw the change in Xiang Mayi's expression, retracted her attack posture, and moved forward.
Xiang Mayi instinctively followed Hua Xiaoman's side. Fischer glanced at the backs of the two who had left, and showed a puzzled expression, but in the end he didn't say anything and walked in the other direction.
"Hey, hey, Xiaoman, don't go so fast, I still think it's not normal here, no." Xiang Mayi approached Hua Xiaoman and said, his tone completely devoid of the confidence of being a genius boy.
Hua Xiaoman quickly rolled her eyes: "It's really please, how can I say that I am a believer in eugenics, why haven't such good genes as Miss Ma been inherited from you at all?" Even if the superpower is not inherited at all, it should have a bit of temperament and momentum? ”
"Point"? Do you mean not at all? How can I say that I am also a chic and dignified existence in Yushu, temperament or something...... Xiang Mayi can't say it, he doesn't have any confidence now, how can he have a temperament?
So Xiang Mayi just showed an expression that was definitely not a smile, and could only say nothing. His own sense of foreboding is just Cancer's unfounded sixth sense, which is the so-called "fear" and "timidity" for Hua Xiaoman. No, for whom......
After Xiang Mayi didn't speak again, Hua Xiaoman didn't refuse to let him continue to follow, at least from the outside, it looked like he, a big man, protecting her weak Lori. And not the other way around.
"Pong".
Hua Xiaoman delicately struck the outside of the building that could not be opened with a sharp dagger. After each attack, red ripples spread.
Xiang Mayi was constantly observing the movements nearby, but to his relief and disappointment, there was only the hum of the rusty iron pillars that had not been painted, the echo of the broken ruins and the tapping of the small vines, and the breathing of the two.
After inspecting more than a dozen abandoned houses, Hua Xiaoman suddenly stopped, but did not look back, just pursed her lips and asked in a low voice, "You...... Will you get too close? ”
"Ah......" Xiang Ma Yi, who could be said to be clinging to Hua Xiaoman, immediately left the back of Hua Xiaoman's head, then straightened up and replied a little embarrassed, "This...... Hehe, I'm still a little worried, it's more reassuring to stick to you, and you're amazing, with a fragrance!! ”
"You...... Can you not tell all the things you have in your heart?! At least the second half of the sentence is completely unnecessary. Hua Xiaoman stomped her foot in annoyance.
Xiang Mayi thought it was cute in his eyes, so he smiled, but said even more mischievously: "My boyfriend has the obligation to praise his girlfriend, not to mention that my girlfriend is so good!" ”
"You...... You...... Take your liking! What a waste Muggle! ”
But little man, what are you blushing at a waste Muggle?
Xiang Mayi couldn't help but laugh happily.
"Although I don't have a young girl, I still find it interesting." I explained it in my heart, but no matter how I look at it, it's a sign of a young girl. But at this time, such a conversation between the two was the only thing that could make him laugh under completely unfavorable conditions.
"Woo ......"
Xiang Mayi's smile was interrupted by the almost inaudible voice.
"Little man! Did you hear anything! ”
"Don't be suspicious anymore!" Hua Xiaoman's face turned red, no matter what Xiang Mayi wanted to say, in short, if he ignored him, he would definitely not be teased.
Xiang Mayi quickly grabbed Hua Xiaoman's arm and leaned against the wall, and said in a low voice, "No, Xiaoman, I mean seriously." ”
So are you admitting that you weren't serious at all?
Although she wanted to tease her back, Hua Xiaoman suddenly realized something. If Xiang Mayi was joking, the title he used would definitely be "Xiaoman". Now is not a good time to stage "The Wolf is Coming".
At the same time, barely audible shouts had begun to loom.
Xiang Mayi's body trembled slightly as if a tense thread had been cut. But soon, I still readjusted my breathing, and I couldn't really coax myself in front of my sister. Otherwise, how to take the muggle body in the future to tie up the heart of a superpowered girl!
"There are NPCs who take the initiative to attack." Fischer's message came at this time.
So the shout just now was Fischer fighting against NPCs?
Xiang Mayi and Hua Xiaoman quickly glanced at each other. But he soon felt that he was also overwhelmed by the strong killing intent.
"It's a hemp wing!! The culprit is Ma Yi!! Outside the complex, a wave of NPCs suddenly rushed over while shouting Xiang Mayi's name, which had long been identified as enemies in the setting. The comer is not good!
"It's coming for you." Hua Xiaoman stretched out her hand, like a knight, and blocked in front of Princess Xiang Mayi. Although this height difference is absolutely unstoppable.
Xiang Mayi frowned, already realizing what was going on. Those ominous premonitions are not at all out of nowhere: "The original system of Survival Island was to screen us quest players, but the emergence of SCO has made this screening targeted. They seem to be a little too interested in me, right? ”
"Or maybe it's interested in the secrets on you." Hua Xiaoman said, the fireball in his hand had quickly smashed into the NPC that rushed over.
Soon a task appeared in the system: "Assist the NPC wanted criminal player 'Xiang Ma Wing', reward: bracelet." ”
"Damn! Do you want to spend so much money on me? Xiang Mayi shouted out of his voice.
Thinking about it, the setting of this village must have been changed to Xiang Mayi killing the people of this village, and the NPC was angry and wanted to catch Xiang Mayi and kill him. The most pitiful thing is that there is no way to explain to these NPCs that "you are all stats, and if you die, you will disappear, so the corpses you see are fake" and so on.
Xiang Mayi hid behind Hua Xiaoman, quickly took out the light board to see something, and then cried and laughed a little: "I think you are right, they are interested in my equipment, as long as I 'die', they can take away the equipment 100% of it." The data here is completely converted, just like in reality, as long as they get the data, it will only be a matter of time before they can imitate the same equipment. ”
"They must not be allowed to get their hands on neutralization equipment. Even if your hand is chopped off. Hua Xiaoman said. It's just a chopped hand or something...... It makes Xiang Mayi uncomfortable no matter how he thinks about it.
Xiang Mayi!! Die, you murderer!! ”
Hua Xiaoman was concentrating on dealing with the NPCs attacking head-on, but she didn't expect that another wave suddenly jumped down from the roof of the building on the side.
was so frightened that Xiang Mayi had to retreat from Hua Xiaoman's side and choose to escape.
"You stupid NPCs, why are you chasing me! What about your suspicious patterns! It's for me to think about it, idiot!! Xiang Mayi had to run quickly, and these guys didn't even give Hua Xiaoman a chance to defend. Xiang Mayi roared angrily as he ran, cursing in his heart, if he catches the leader of SCO, he must be killed first!
With what X? Of course not on his own, be sure to treat him with rare species in the final time zone!
But before that-
"Ahhh Help-life-ah-!! ”
As night fell, blue-black began to soak the sky, and when you looked closely, you could still see the stars twinkling in the sky, and another night was about to fall.
