Chapter 184: Truce

The shouts of killing in the library were deafening, slowly waning, and finally completely silent. The mist began to move, and they split into three streams, one moving on, one turning back, and one drifting towards the riverbed to the west. Lin Wu stood on the edge of the rope, stretched out his hand and dragged everyone to climb sideways against the eaves, and sent them to the rope. Everyone including Xiao Wei returned to the third floor safely, Lin Wu grabbed the rope and prepared to slide down, when a sinful bullet flew from the darkness and hit Lin Wu. Lin Wu's hands were loosened, and all the bullets that followed missed him. Lin Wu grabbed the rope again, and the person smashed on the ground on the first floor.

Without waiting for everyone to go downstairs to check, Lin Wu had already completed the hospitalization procedures and was lying on the hospital bed and receiving treatment from NPCs. Maya breathed a sigh of relief: "Can't you buy a gold card with so many points?" ”

Lin Wu shook his head: "I kill a talent for 200, and a gold card costs 300." ”

While Huo Wu said, "The gold card has been raised to 500. "The big screen stated that because the gold card sales exceeded expectations, the gold card value was increased to 500 points. The resurrection card is still 200 points, which means that few people buy resurrection cards. As you can guess with your ass, it must be the hunters' bastards who buy gold cards in large quantities.

In addition, the price of bullets and bombs for assault rifles, assault rifles, and assault rifles has all doubled, both of which are also the most common weapons used by hunters.

Many players who had gone out to escape the fog returned to the library one after another, and the library was once again lively, as if nothing had happened just now. Maya looked at the crowd and saw that many of them had not taken off their protective suits, and there was no way to know who the hunters were. The increase in the price of Gold cards is good for players, meaning that hunters will not die with a small number of players. As the number of players decreases, the difficulty for hunters to earn points skyrockets.

Maya returned to the ward, and the people from the Spark base had already left, and Maya said, "We have to survive for two days." "I said my opinion.

Peanut agreed, and suggested his own: "Stay at the library supply point during the day, at least tomorrow you have to stay here, maybe there are other surviving friends who will find it." ”

Maya nodded: "The library is not safe at night, and the excavation site will also be attacked by the fog at night. ”

Lin Wu said: "It's better to retreat to the subway passage of the excavation site, we have night vision devices, and the strength of the zombies and monsters in it is very low." You can also earn points by the way. ”

Maya said: "I believe that hunters do not go to the subway and tunnels to hunt. But today, countless zombies are pouring out of the tunnel, what if there is also a wave of corpses in the subway? ”

Lin Wu thought for a long time: "It seems that there is no completely safe place. ”

Peanut said: "Players from the supply point in Zone 1 will go to the mining point in area 6, and players from the supply point in area 4 will go to the mining point in area 7. No one cares about zones 2 and 3. ”

Maya took out the map and looked at it for a while: "It only takes half an hour for us to enter Area 3." To avoid night fog, we need to find the high spots. Signal towers, high-rise rooftops are all available. Depart tomorrow evening. Maya traded the night vision device to Peanut, and went downstairs to buy a new one herself, so as not to increase the price for a while.

Maya meets Starfire at the merchandise shop on the second floor, and Maya doesn't invite them to join the party during their conversation. Starfire and the three of them are arguing about whether or not to go back to Rizhao. Maya didn't give Starfire any advice, believing that if Sunshine detonated a bomb to kill the hunter or didn't wait for the hunter at the digging site, he would go back to the library on his own. From the current situation, only people like Lin Wu are qualified to rescue others, and others going out will only increase the risk of being killed.

As you can imagine, the resurrected hunters will definitely be eyeing the area from the supply point to the digging point.

……

On the morning of the third day of the dungeon, after a day and a half of slaughter, the number of players had dropped to 30,000. However, half of these deaths were not related to hunters, and the cause of death included starvation, zombies, or injuries sustained outdoors, or torn protective suits.

Due to the destruction of the excavation site in Area 7 and the haunting of hunters, almost all players in this area have gathered in the library. Many people choose to do protected brick moving tasks to earn some points. But the place with a lot of players is the favorite place for hunters. From seven a.m. to eleven or fourteen hours in the morning, there were four explosions outside the library, each of which took dozens of people with them.

Players were unable to combat the situation due to the lack of unified management, and more people were huddled in the safe area of the library and did not go out again. As it turned out, there were multiple snipers in ambush around the perimeter of the library, and players leaving the safe zone could easily be sniped. At night, the Hunter will infiltrate the library as a player, taking advantage of the fog to indiscriminately attack the people inside.

I have to say that Lin Wu is still quite envious of the mission of the fortress agents, not to mention the fast way to earn points, and he has a sense of accomplishment by bullying more with less.

As a supply point, the library certainly can't accommodate 10,000 people. It doesn't matter, the interior of the library can be expanded, additional rooms, and more space. Even so, the library was very crowded.

After purchasing all the supplies and eating a free dinner at six o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Wu and one dog left the library through the back door. There are also a number of players who leave with them, and they want to get out and avoid trouble. During this period, someone was shot, and the sneaking forest fog gave a counterattack and hit the nightmare, although it was not a headshot, but it also made the nightmare guarding the back door dare not show up for the time being. The three of them and one dog took the opportunity to escape, and after a while, darkness covered the entire land, and only the light from the library could be seen.

The fog in the distance is slowly approaching, the hunters are ready to move, and another slaughter will be staged in the library.

……

The site is a crumbling signal tower on the edge of the factory area in District 3, which creaks as it climbs. Maya took the lead and carefully checked the overall pillars, believing that the main structure was complete, so Lin Wu carried Xiao Crooked and Peanuts to the signal tower maintenance area.

Soon after they settled, the fog appeared in the southeast and southwest directions, and the two fogs converged and spread out to the periphery. Peanut mentioned something that the two didn't want to mention: "They should be more than lucky." ”

Lin Wu objected: "Jiren has his own natural appearance. If they do die, I will tell them that you cursed them to death. ”

Peanut smiled, feeling a little soothed: "If the players can stick together, they can resist the hunters." ”

Maya said: "It's easy to unite, but it's also very difficult. The player's will is immortal, and if someone unites the player, who will rush to the forefront in the face of danger? For example, if Nightmare snipes at someone coming out of the library from a distance of 100 meters, the player can rush up and force Nightmare to flee the sniper point. ”

Maya: "But who rushed to the front?" With a distance of 100 meters and obstacles on the road, Nightmare has time to kill three or five people. More often than not, we encountered at the excavation site, where the front row was frantically squeezing back in the face of death threats. It was only when they learned that they would die if they did not resist that they rushed out together. ”

Maya: "Don't talk about strangers, even when you ask a member of the base to send them to death, the other party will hesitate. Similar things are often encountered in society, a thief is stealing, and no one dares to speak out. But once one person comes forward, there is a high probability that someone else will come forward. It's the first person who is hard. And the person who can unite the player will basically not be the first to rush out. ”

Peanut asked, "Is there any way to do that?" ”

"Heavy rewards are a proven tool." Maya said: "If you are brave enough to give material rewards, it is best to ask the other party not to donate, and you have to ask for it." In this way, people are given the conditions to fully see righteousness and courage. If we tell the player that everyone rushes out, and anyone who dies outside the dungeon can get an assault rifle, I'm sure many people will rush out without fear of death. ”

Of course, it doesn't work in practice, because there aren't so many guns, and people don't believe it. At this time, a group with financial resources and credibility is needed to do this, and it is not something that can be solved by one person.

Eat, take turns on duty, and one night passes.

On the fourth day of the dungeon, the three of them and one dog continued to nest on the signal tower, and it was not until the early morning of the fifth day of the dungeon that the three of them came down from the signal tower, and they planned to return to the library to check the number of surviving players before making further plans. Time waits for no one, only the last three days, and it is dangerous to match the hunters, but wealth is in danger. Without the interference of a large number of players, it is not yet known who will hunt whom.

……

There are still players in the library, but the crowded scene of the vegetable market is long gone. Look at the players here, either in groups of five or in groups of seven, all of them act as a team, and they easily do not communicate with the outside world. Judging by the weapons they carried, at least half of them were equipped with automatic rifles. Lin Wu even found out that there was a girl who had a reconnaissance drone that was exactly the same as herself. I went forward to communicate and learned that the other party was a drone made from hacker skills.

This surprised Lin Wu very much, he knew that it would take a lot of materials to make a drone.

With a common language, the two groups began to talk. The group of 5 people came from a legion 15 kilometers away from Future City and under the jurisdiction of Beicheng. The legion has 15 full-fledged members, divided into 3 bases, namely the Red Legion, the Orange Legion and the Yellow Legion, and the three legion bases are triangularly separated to form a large base. Only 5 of the 15 men are still alive after a few days of dungeons, and they have killed 3 hunters in the firefight.

The Deputy Commander of the Yellow Legion is the current commander of the team, and he cordially invites the Shadow Base to send someone to their base to inspect and consider their proposal to establish a new legion. After listening to the other party's explanation, Maya agreed with the legion model in her heart, saying that she would definitely seriously consider the other party's proposal.

Clan Mode Threshold: Have a certain strength. There are no specific requirements for morality, but there are courts within the legion. You can be a pervert, but if you do something perverted, you violate the laws of the legion and must be judged. With the exception of the Accused's Corps and the Victims' Corps, the other members are jurors, who decide whether the accused is guilty or not. Its structure is not modern law, but closer to a system of management that combines modern law and tribes.

In addition, each clan leader takes turns to be the current clan leader and is responsible for handling cross-legion affairs, and there are currently three Clan Professionals who are further refining the clan rules in order to make the clan a human home in the homeland game.

According to the legion, the hunters have become more and more arrogant in the past two days, and they have changed from the original assassination to firepower. Not only do they ambush players, but they also rely on advanced weapons and ample bullets to line up with players in the field. Although there are quite a few talented players in the player, they use up most of their bullets even if they survive a single attack, which causes them to quickly deplete their resources.

Each of the five members of the regiment had an assault rifle, three of which were taken from their own dead comrades, and the five had only 40 rounds of ammunition left, and they were discussing how to deal with the current situation. The clan also explained that the number of players has plummeted, and the strength of the remaining players is on the average line, and the Hunter's record is getting worse and worse.

There are currently 7,500 players alive, and only 10 have died in the half-hour that Shadow has communicated with the Legion. Of course, this does not fully explain the problem, it is possible that the hunters did not make a move, and these 10 people just died from the zombie attack.

After separating from the legion and procuring supplies, Maya revealed her plan, and the three of them left through the back door. Under Lin Wu's reconnaissance, the three of them made a big circle and arrived at a building complex about 100 meters in front of the library. I never expected to bump into the player team here.

The two groups fired a few shots at each other, and when Lin Wu was about to kill him, the other party asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Player." Maya also felt that something was wrong: "Ordinary players. ”

"So are we, Nancheng Pistachios."

Maya said, "Shadow of the North Town." ”

The other party corrected: "Nancheng goes south to the town of pistachio." ”

When they met, they learned that there were 3 teams of players nearby, and they had joined forces to infiltrate the complex with the aim of ambushing the hunters. Yesterday afternoon, there was an exchange of fire, and after the other side retreated on their own initiative, no trace of the hunter was found.

As Maya had predicted, after a few days of elimination, the remaining players not only had the ability to survive, but also began to hunt hunters in groups. Not to mention the sudden increase in the difficulty of hunting for hunters, the price they pay for their attacks is no longer proportional to the gain. Assuming that for every 10 people killed by the original hunter, he could make up the loss of his own death, then of course the first few days would be a double profit. But now, it's hard to swap out 10 players for a hunter's life.

The disadvantage of the fort hunter is skill, and the advantage of the surviving player is skill. Fort hunters have an advantage in weapons and equipment, but they may not have much advantage when it comes to skills.

Maya declined the other party's invitation and went to the excavation site with Lin Wu and Peanut to carry out Plan B.

However, Plan B was quickly put on hold as there were teams of seven players squatting near the digging site to guard the hunters. They had a shootout with the Hunter two hours earlier, killing two of them themselves, an NPC Hunter and a Player Hunter. They also provided their own finds, and the player hunters were unrecognizable when wearing protective clothing, but their shoes were uniform leather boots. They can be identified by their shoes as fortress hunters, and it is also based on this that they were able to strike first in this morning's battle.

With their protection, the number of players doing tasks in the excavation site began to increase, and everyone took demolition crowbars to scavenge for parts in nearby buildings. And they work as bait to attract hunters. The vicinity of the excavation site has become a cat-and-mouse game site.
