Chapter 207: A Feather in the Sky
"Open the hanging, friends, now in this world, it is not possible not to open the hanging!" Su Jing said bitterly.
"Who doesn't have a hanging on them now? And let the people who don't let the zombies fight well be mixed? You see, it was clearly said that it was fair competition, and everyone was deprived of ability together, and the result is now! The Tyrannosaurus of the Tyrannosaurus, the psychic ability of the psychic ability - I'm not talking about you, Sadako - and let us normal earthlings get mixed up?! Su Jing raised his hands to the sky and shouted.
"Open the hanging! Friends! Now I can't get mixed up if I don't open the hanging! Everybody's on the hook! So, let's think about how to open the hanging!! Su Jing jumped hard.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ He...... What do you want to express? The purple-eyed Drow raised his hand and asked.
Another mutant zombie crawled up from the edge of the building's platform, trying to break through the perimeter of the high-voltage barbed wire. But before it could make a hole, it was immediately poked by Drow with a steel bar, and it fell twenty-two stories into a bloody mess. The two safety staircases have been filled with zombie corpses, and no zombies have yet been able to break through the pile of corpses alive.
It was the second day they had spent in this tall building. At three or four o'clock in the morning, the fast-laying high-voltage power grid has begun to be hit by scattered zombies. Before this, Lu Mengyao estimated that if zombies relied on their sense of smell and hearing to determine the location of their prey, then this kind of high-altitude ventilated place should be able to dilute the smell of five people to the point where it was almost non-existent. But she may have underestimated the five senses of these undead walking corpses, and perhaps the wind above had spread their scent to kilometers away, but the reality was. When they woke up, the whole building was filled with zombies. It's so unscientific that it seems to have been forcibly "refreshed" by this world.
According to their initial estimates, the number of zombies in the building could reach the thousands. And that's not even counting the mutants that occasionally climb up from the outside of the building. It's just downstairs. They could hear a peculiar roar, and when they looked through the binoculars, a second mutant zombie appeared, some of which resembled legendary trolls, or powerful zombies like very strong minotaurs. These zombies move very slowly, but their ability to break down obstacles is undoubtedly very powerful. If the first type of zombie is a "hunting dog", then this one can only be described as a "wild bull".
"I'll translate it. In his words, the difficulty of this virtual race game is beyond the tolerance of normal humans. Unless you find a way to strengthen yourself, absolutely no one will be able to survive to the bottom. Lu Mengyao reloaded her high-pressure air gun with a box of spikes. Now it's only the second day, and a second variant of zombies has appeared, and the number of zombies has more than tripled...... At this exponential rate, we won't have to wait until the fourth day to be wiped out. β
The Drow thought hard about his strengthening route, then shrugged his shoulders to show his helplessness.
"My ability is a combination of a high-level priest and a warrior, and without magic items, I can't improve my strength to the level of three stars or above in a short period of time."
Lu Mengyao stroked the nail gun in her hand and said in a low voice, "I've been thinking about it." The design of this game scene. Did you just create a city and throw in countless zombies, or did you completely design a story that made zombies appear in this world? If it's the latter, then maybe we can find some clues......"
"What clues?"
"Clues that allow us to become stronger, or items that kill a huge number of enemies in one go...... I believe. Between the beginning and the end, there is always a shorter path. So, the question we face now is how to find this clue. Use your brains. Everybody. There must be some clue that we have overlooked. β
"Institute of Biological Sciences. Located on Third Avenue in the middle of the city. Su Jing said lightly. By this moment he had detached himself from the dramatic speech he had just made, and had regained his composure and composure. Lu Mengyao said. Only when he finds new entertainment and is in a particularly good mood will he behave extremely neurotic. This includes a theatrical way of speaking and exaggerated and contrived body postures...... It can be seen that in the face of such a difficult moment, he is getting happier and happier...... In fact, Lu Mengyao herself is the same.
After all, everyone knows that this is an extremely realistic virtual world. Even if you die, you're just kicked out of the game, so everyone (except Sadako Yamamura, who has a particularly strong sensibility) is relaxed.
"I found a newspaper at the beginning of the game and spent three minutes reading it. The news mentioned that the city's biological science institute could be the starting point of the virus leak, and there were several references to unapproved underground tests. Given the value of this information, I made a point to make a note of the address. When I was in the taxi yesterday, I had memorized the actual location of the address in the city. It's about five or six kilometers away. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ Since this location is so important, why don't we go there first? Someone may have already taken the reward from it! Gageki gritted her teeth and shouted, the girl had now made a simple electromagnetic projector out of coils and high-strength batteries in series, which could shoot out some miscellaneous bits and pieces. At her firing, another mutant climbed up and fell down the building.
"It may be hiding the biggest secret of this virtual world, and the institute is not so easy to break into. Someone will rush to death before us, let them explore the way first. Lu Mengyao explained for Su Jing.
Hearing such cold-blooded words, the dark elf Tristi shook her head uncomfortably. Although Zhilu Dao is now in a virtual game world, her adherence to the principles still makes her try to save more lives, and Lu Mengyao, who is obviously self-interested, is simply polarized against her......
"So, we only have one question left, how do we get down from here to the Institute of Biology? It's easy to defend and hard to attack, but now we're blocked by zombies. Lu Mengyao stared straight at Su Jing, "This is the place you chose." Don't say you didn't figure out how to evacuate. β
"Go to the rooftop. We do hang gliding. Su Jing said calmly.
Following his gaze, everyone turned their gaze to the several camping tents on the ground. In fact, few people fell asleep last night. Drow volunteered to keep vigil, while Sadako Yamamura tossed and turned all night. Gai Qi has been making his own equipment, only Su Jing and Lu Mengyao have not been affected at all, and they sleep very quietly.
ββ¦β¦ It couldn't be ......."
"Theoretically possible." Su Jing replied, "If the quality of these tents can stand the test, then based on simple drag calculations and aerodynamic theories, we can try to fly with them." β
"Try." Lu Mengyao repeated the word.
"Or we'll fight all the way and survive among thousands of zombies."
It is clear that there is only the first option.
The twenty-third floor of the building has not yet been fully completed. The upper part is still covered with wooden planks. Several mutant zombies who were adept at climbing tried to cross the twenty-second floor from the outside of the building and attack from the top twenty-third floor, but the fire escape from the top down was also carefully sealed by the five men. Calculating the dimensions of the glider took Su Jing and Gage about three minutes, while cutting the fabric and assembling it took only ten minutes.
"Report your weight."
"Sixty-five kilograms."
"Fifty-two kilograms."
ββ¦β¦ Forty-eight kilograms. β
"Fifty-seven kilograms."
The Night Elves are martial arts practitioners, and fifty-seven kilograms is acceptable. But when Sadako Yamamura reported her weight, a significant number of the women present looked at Sadako Yamamura in disbelief, wondering how she managed to be so light and not look too skinny. Lu Mengyao was four kilograms heavier than her, but she looked a little too thin, which may have something to do with her miserable cups. The female mage's face showed a very gloomy expression.
According to Su Jing's calculations, each glider can carry about seventy kilograms of things. After deducting the weight of the equipment, Su Jing of sixty-five kilograms basically couldn't take anything, and the carrying capacity of the remaining four people was about twenty kilograms. Most of the surplus of these twenty kilograms was allocated to the artisanal bombs that had been made before. These tinkling knick-knacks are tied together with ropes. Then girdle around the waist. When using it, you need to light the fuse first, and then calculate the time to throw it out. The makers also admit that this thing is not very convenient to use, but the resources are limited. This is already the best that adventurers can do.
The five of them cautiously opened the passage to the twenty-third floor, and the drow elves rushed forward first. Wait until Su Jing shows his head for the second time. The "hounds" above have all been left on the ground.
The rest of the story was a bit boring, and everyone began to tune their gliders one by one. Formal hang gliding requires a long period of training. But people here are new to this wild sport. Everything can only be left to fate, and perhaps the survival rate of killing all the way is higher than jumping directly......
"I'll lead the team, and I know how to get there. You all try to follow me as closely as you can. β
Su Jing stood on the edge of the platform and kicked down a "hound" with his boots. He took a deep breath and leaped out.
At first, his glider shook twice, but miraculously, he mastered his balance and flew smoothly to the southwest.
The second is Gage, this girl is no less courageous than Su Jing, and when she jumped out of the roof of the building, she shouted: "Hallelujahββ!! β
The third is the Dark Elves, the masters of martial arts who are the quickest to master the flow and balance.
Only Lu Mengyao and Sadako Yamamura were left on the top of the platform, and the former patted the latter's shoulder and told her to jump off quickly.
"But ......"
"I still have a little finishing touches to do."
Lu Mengyao pushed her out, and the girl screamed and jumped out, trembling at an extremely dangerous frequency. However, she still found her balance and staggered away with the green glider in front of her.
Lu Mengyao, who was left alone, pursed the corners of her mouth, raised her head, and stared at a black shadow tightly. The black shadow hovered in the air more than a hundred meters above the building, and only Lu Mengyao noticed it.
And it noticed her, too.
She knew that when the group all left the building and entered the uncontrollable realm of the sky, the cunning predator would rush over and tear them to pieces.
She stood there motionless.
It was already getting impatient, so it flew towards the four gliders in front of it.
She raised her nail gun, aimed at the shadow, and pulled the trigger repeatedly. The pneumatic nail gun didn't have a long range, and by the time the spike grazed its wings, it was no longer lethal. But the move still infuriated it. The black shadow began to turn around and swooped towards Lu Mengyao. The female mage calmly held her gun and fired, but the opponent's defense was so strong that the spike could not penetrate it at all......
For the predators soaring through the skies, it's only a matter of a moment. So Lu Mengyao saw its true face, it was a huge, zombie-like golden eagle, or some other bird. Wingspans of more than seven meters...... The massive claws grabbed the mageist's shoulders in an instant, dragging her into the air.
Lu Mengyao heard her boyfriend say that he once fought against a big metal bird at an extremely high altitude, but at the moment she was just a weak and weak ordinary person, and the only counterattack she could do was only one.
Three seconds later, there was a violent explosion in the air, like several bombs detonating at the same time. (To be continued......)
PS: Let's talk about something else, I haven't talked to you for a while.
Now it's 1:42 a.m. when I type this line, and this chapter will be released tomorrow at noon.
Since it hit the shelves, the book has suffered its biggest setback since uploading, which is β and I think everyone already knows it β the previous volume was not highly rated, which pains me. I rarely canvassed for votes because I felt that I was too weak, that the book was not well written, and that it was not worthy of your love. But I've ...... I did my best to do it. The first time I write a real web novel, I still have a lot to learn, and I will inevitably fall into the pit that some newcomers will fall into. I was careful not to make too many mistakes, but I still made mistakes.
Regarding the previous volume, I received a lot of criticism privately. And from the simplest data, the tips received in the last volume are only one-tenth of the previous ones, and the subscriptions are declining all the way...... I've summarized two lessons that may be useful in future writings.
Sometimes it feels like a flying insect trapped in the asphalt, and it is difficult to get out of the situation.
It should have been written better, but because of practical reasons, I had to post it without revising it or even reviewing it twice.
Just like at this moment, this passage only destroys the whole reading of the novel, and I am obstinately writing these words.
Friends.
Please continue to support me.
That's the most outrageous thing I've ever said.
Maybe I'll forget about it when I wake up.
