Chapter 45: Hide and Seek: Watching from the Sidelines

"What about those two guys?"

"It's a tough idea, but it seems like at least you're lucky."

It was two men in white coats who spoke. They were standing in the corridor on the 12th floor of Building D at this time, and one of them was holding a telescope and looking in the direction of Building B, and the targets were obviously the Mask Killer and Lu Yu.

The two men were tall and short, and both looked to be in their thirties. The tall one has a dignified Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks like the kind of frontal corner 'color' that came out of the old revolutionary film, and the broad body has a sense of security. The shorter one has a good appearance, which can be described as a sharp-beaked monkey gills, with small eyes but unusually bright, turning all the time, and it looks like a resourceful type who often comes up with ideas.

The white coat they wear is also very particular, it is the kind of basic protective coat that is sold uniformly in the game store, and the reason they bought it is not for that little protection bonus, but purely because the coat is marked as "player-editable" in the store. If someone were standing behind them at this time, they would be able to see that the back of their coat was embroidered with a few big black 'color' characters: "The world is full of clouds"!

That's right, in this game, there is also an organization like a traditional game guild......

Apocalypse Nation doesn't offer a guild design, and at most only allows players to participate in the game in a team. However, this does not prevent people who are already familiar with each other in reality from forming guilds again in the game. Of course, they can't enjoy the benefits of the guild's ability gain like other games, but the establishment of such an organization can facilitate them to smoothly join forces with "their own people" in the game, share intelligence and resources, and greatly increase the chances of clearing the level, which can be regarded as a beneficial and harmless move for them to survive and develop in the game.

Among the few known guilds in the game, the scale of "The World Storm" is considered to be medium to high, and their outfit that symbolizes 'sex' is this conspicuous white coat. Whether you recognize it or not, as long as you see such a white coat in the game or in reality, you will know that you have found "your own person", and you can rest assured that you can 'communicate' and cooperate. At present, the guild is still in the development period, although the number of personnel has increased, but the entire organizational structure has not yet been fully established, and it is simply set up a few vice presidents under the president, and then the "captain" level and the "ordinary member" level.

The two in front of him happen to be "captain" level characters in the "World Storm".

That tall man is Chen Gang, who is known as the top three in defense in the guild. Looking at Chen Gang's figure, you can know that the type he is good at is undoubtedly a spade type. This burly northern man is well-known in the guild for his rectum, bold and righteous, and he is the first to rush to the front when there is any danger, opening up a safe area for the brothers behind him, and he can really be called a battle-hardened without falling, which also won him the title of "Hundred Tempers".

Chen Gang's current state is probably like this.

Grade: 8,1200/12800

Survival Points: 0

Rating: Fighting: B, Ranged: F, '': F, Puzzle Solving: F, 'Spirit': E, Trait: N/A

Skill: Acting as a shield; reinforced iron bones; Damage conversion

Equipment: Metal Palm Tiger; Ordinary arm guards; reinforced running shoes; Basic protective coat (remodeled)

Items: Stamina Restorer (small); Epinephrine injection 'shot' tube, pain-relieving 'medicine', telescope, hemostatic bandage

Clearance rate: 45%, good at type: spades

Game currency: 9000

It can also be seen from his evaluation that Chen Gang is really biased......

The other shorter is also a "captain"-level strongman in the guild, known as the "driller" Cai Jianxing. His name is a homonym for a certain horn 'Se' in the popular fighting game "The King of Fighters", and his person looks a little similar to this horn 'Se'. The same is short stature, the same dry and thin, and likes to bend his back slightly. The difference is that this Cai Health Care is not so capable of fighting, and his combat effectiveness is properly the first among the several "captains" of the guild, and even some "ordinary members" are stronger than him. But even so, Cai Jianyi is still a very prestigious figure in the guild, and even above the "Hundred Refinements" Chen Gang.

The nickname "Driller" doesn't describe his tricks or fighting style, but rather his wit. Cai Health Care can often take into account everyone's thinking mode and psychological state when formulating strategies, which is like drilling into everyone's heart, so there is the saying "drill heart".

Cai's state at this time is probably like this:

Grade: 7,5800/6400

Survival Points: 0

Rating: Fighting: F, Ranged: D, '': E, Puzzle Solving: B, 'Spirit': D, Trait: F

Skills: Bone Recognition; the storm of Itakua; Bad luck divination

Armament: Glock18 pistol; Ordinary bracers; reinforced running shoes; Basic protective coat (remodeled)

Items: Stamina Restorer (small); Epinephrine injection 'injection' tube, analgesic 'medicine', hemostatic bandage, antidote serum

Clearance rate: 75%, good at type: block

Game currency: 21,000

Compared to Chen Gang, Cai Health Care is more or less average, in addition to being quite outstanding in puzzle solving, he has reached D in both distance and 'spirit' spirit, which is already quite good.

The two of them were playing in a team and happened to be randomly placed on two adjacent floors of the same building, so they quickly managed to find each other. When the gunshots rang out just now, they were hiding in the corner of the corridor with a cat's waist (Cai Kang barely had to bend down), carefully guarding their surroundings and discussing what to do next. As soon as they heard the movement in the opposite building, both of them looked towards the location of the sound in shock, and happened to see the masked killer coming out of the room on the 13th floor, carrying a thick firearm almost a meter long and with a strange shape. Traces of white smoke could be faintly seen coming out of the muzzle of the gun, apparently it had just been fired.

As if sensing the gaze of the two, the masked killer suddenly turned his head in this direction. From such a distance, they couldn't see the direction of each other's gaze clearly, and Chen Gang and Cai Jianxing only poked their heads out of the handrail of the corridor slightly, but both of them intuitively knew that the other party had discovered themselves.

Before the two could figure out whether to hide or continue to monitor the other side, they saw Wei Simeng on the 14th floor rushing out of the room, lying on the corridor and shouting. Wei Simeng's position was almost directly above the masked killer, who only needed to take a few steps forward to give him a slap through the wall from below if he had enough firepower. As a level boss at the level of "Seven of Spades", this bit of firepower should be there no matter how you think about it. So while the two of them sighed how could there be such a white-eyed player in this game, they had silently lit a candle in their hearts for this player they had never met......

But then things took a surprising turn.

The Masked Killer did take a few steps in the direction of the sound as they expected, the power of the small rocket launcher was already astonishing, and even more striking was that the Masked Killer near the explosion point looked unharmed. This at least proves that the protective power of his black 'colored' coat and mask that covers his whole body is much more terrifying than that of rocket artillery.

And what surprised them the most was the players upstairs. He should have been blown to pieces by this sudden blow, but when the smoke gradually cleared, relying on the telescope, Chen Gang saw another player who suddenly appeared, and the two moved to safety in an instant, and even Chen Gang, who was good at physical fitness, was ashamed of himself. What happened after that seemed to him to be even more difficult to understand, the player counterattacked with a bomb to delay time and then take the opportunity to escape, which was very reasonable, but the masked killer did not hesitate to chase in the wrong direction after jumping up to the 14th floor, while the player ran to a stop near the air walkway, and instead hid in the corner of the corridor and stopped moving, which made him really can't figure it out.

After that, he saw the masked murderer who had already run up the 15th floor rushing down the corridor to the other end like crazy, and Lu Yu and Wei Simeng, who were originally hiding at the corner of the corridor, did not move away from Building B from the air aisle as he expected, nor did they go up the corridor to seize the commanding heights, but took the initiative to go down, and appeared in the corridor on the 13th floor in a moment. Although they seem to be quite anxious, they are not moving quickly, and it seems that most of them are actively slowing down their movements in order to control their sounds.

It turned out that they made the right choice. The speed of the masked killer was astonishing, and in the blink of an eye, it had covered the entire corridor. He didn't follow the rules of the corridor to go downstairs, but jumped high at the end of the corridor, the large gun in his hand pointed downward, and he had already begun to shoot frantically before he could aim. Dense bullets pierced through the thin layer of glass on top of the airway and sloped to the floor like a torrential rain. When Chen Gang saw this scene, he shouted in his heart that it was dangerous. If those two players really left the aisle as he thought, then it would be really difficult to fly under such a dense barrage, and this 'wave' attack from above was not only difficult to defend against, but also unexpected, and it was not surprising that they were killed instantly.

The masked killer fell while 'shooting', breaking through the glass and stepping on the aisle. Seeing that there was no one in front of or behind the aisle, he yelled angrily, and once again advanced at an alarming speed, rushing directly to Building C.

At this time, Lu Yu and Wei Simeng had already stepped on the air walkway from Building B to Building A on the 13th floor. Hearing the sound of gunshots, the two of them lowered their heads and lowered their bodies at the same time, using the one-meter-high 'mixed' concrete handrails on both sides of the air walkway to cover themselves, using both hands and feet, and crawling as fast and quietly as possible. From Chen Gang's point of view, the two of them were almost invisible, let alone the masked killer who was only one level above them at this time, and his vision was not very clear.
